Kiehl's Midnight Eye Recovery

So many people have raved about this eye cream- especially TalkBeckyTalk. It is quite pricey and I was still contemplating buying the Shiseido Eye Cream (previous blogpost here) but there was a Kiehl’s shop here in Berlin so I went in to see it. The girl showed me a different one first, that was more oil based and also the one from the Men section which has a cooling effect but nevertheless I went with the Midnight Recovery.

I haven’t been using this for a very long time but I absolutely LOVE it. The results are incredible. It does actually minimize (sometimes even erase) dark circles under the eyes and just leaves the eye area feeling so smooth and nice. I can’t stress enough how amazing this cream is. And as for every eye cream, a tiny amount goes a long way. I actually thought the tube would be bigger from the videos that I’ve seen Becky use it in but it is a quite handy size.

Overall I really, really like this product! I am glad I bought it and I do think it justifies the price of £21.50 or €28.00. Also it is free of parabens, fragrances and mineral oils which is a plus.

Until then, Cheerio from Berlin,

Travel sized minis

I love everything mini - but doesn't everybody. As you might know I have moved places and am now living in Berlin, for the summer at least. I thought it'd be pointless bringing full sized bathroom essentials with me since I can buy them in Berlin anyway. So I went out and bought travel sized things and had to contain myself not to buy every single thing the store had.

I picked up toothpaste, deodorant, hairspray (which I absolutely love! I actually always have mini sized deodorants and hairsprays in my handbag), a mini blush which is super cute and other things. 

Until then, Cheerio from Berlin (with everything mini),

The Body Shop Splurdge

I recently signed up to become a Body Shop Member (http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk) or whatever it's called. Now I get emails with deals and sales all the time- last week I got a 50% SALE email. Oh dear....

I tried to keep it together and don't go too crazy and I think I did quite well. I picked up the Shower Gel in the scent Early-harvest Raspberry and Vineyard Peach. I loved the peach scent so much I picked up a body mist in the same scent too and I cannot get enough of it! I've been spritzing it all over me several times a day. The scent does linger for a while, however not as strong as perfume, but it's only a body mist so I guess it does a good job anyhow.

The Body Butter were very very tempting, although I do find they are a bit sticky after I apply them and in summer I prefer something with a lighter formula. 

Another thing I picked up was the Vitamin E Face Mist. Which apparently should fix your make up too, so I thought I'd give it a try. I've used it a few times now, to fix my make up but I don't really like it. There is so much liquid coming out with one squirt (disgusting word, I know, I apologize) that it makes my makeup run down my face!! Which is definitely not the purpose of it. I now spray it on a cotton pad and pad it all over my face which seems to work better. However, I still like it to spray on my face in the morning or before I go to sleep to give my skin a boost of moisture and obivously Vitamin E. 

Until then, Cheerio from Berlin,

Kedem Dead Sea Nail Kit

I have bought this Dead Sea Nail Kit a bit before Christmas last year. It consists of a special nail buffer, cuticle oil and a hand cream. Kedem Cosmetics is a UK base company that have specialized their products on Dead Sea salt minerals and extracts. All of the products are ISO certified and free of raven and animal ingredients. Also they do not test on animals. The products are quite pricey but the quality is really good obviously. I got this set on a promotion deal which was great because I got almost 60% off!

I love all of these three products. The nail buffer is amazing! It makes the nails all shiny by taking off the first layer of dirt and grime and whatnot, and stimulates the blood circulation from the nails. The shine is supposed to last for 30 days and I find that it doesn't quite stay for that long but still for a long time. Even when I paint my nail on top of the shine and take the polish back off again the nails are still shiny underneath which is great!

The cuticle oil is something I tend to use every now and again since I store it on my desk. So whenever I am working on university work or on my laptop I coat my nails with this and it really help them not to crack and stay smooth.

The hand cream is by far my favourite though! It smells really nice and it leaves my hands soooo smooth. It sinks into the skin really really fast which is a must for me in hand creams.

Overall I really enjoy this set and it's a great present for anyone who loves nail care!

Until then, Cheerio from Berlin,
