Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Night Cream with Rice and Peach Kernel Oil for Dry and Sensitive Skin

Another product from the I am Natural Cosmetics line that Migros has, I am not at all shocked because there are so many products I love from that line! Today I want to talk about the night cream I am using at the moment! The reason why I write much more about skincare products than make up products is because I go through skincare quicker than make up products (and since I have the rule of one in one out I buy more of skincare) and I really believe good skincare means less need for make up! When I am vigilant with my morning and evening skincare routine I don't need foundation (I actually don't own one, I only own powder and BB cream) or anything that covers my skin! But back to the topic at hand! The night cream I have been loving for the past months!

In German this cream is called Nachtcreme - trockene & sensible Haut - reis & pfirsichkernöl and in French Créme De Nuit - peaux sèches & sensibles - riz & huile de noyau de pêche.

First I want to mention how Migros describes the cream:

The rich, soothing formulation immediately provides intensive moisture. In addition, special care formula with organic Shea Butter supports the skin's own regeneration process overnight.

I can easily say that Shea butter is one of my favorite moisturizing ingredients sadly this night cream doesn't smell like Shea butter. I can't really pinpoint what this cream smells like, for me it somehow smells calming with a hint of peaches.

What I do know for a fact about this night cream is that it is really hydrating! It doesn't break me out and it has become a part of my evening skincare routine. It cream itself absorbs quickly into my skin, however, it actually leaves a greasy residue that takes time to be absorbed into my skin. I don't find it to be a problem since it is a night cream but it would be a problem if it would be a day cream.

In the morning the cream has completely been absorbed and my skin feels incredibly soft!

What I don't like is that the ingredient list isn't on their webpage or on the bottle itself, and I of course threw that away as soon as I had taken the picture of the product. There isn't any information on the bottle itself except for the name of the product in German and French.

The tube is 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) and costs 11.90CHF

Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Rose Cleansing Milk for Dry and Sensitive Skin

I have had a big debate with myself if I should write this review or not, it isn't that this is a negative review it is more that this review is based on strange personal preferences that just aren't to everyone's liking.

However, I decided to write about the I am Natural Rose Cleansing Milk for Dry and Sensitive Skin known as Reinigungsmilch - trockene und sensible Haut - sanfte Reinigung in German and Lait Démaquillant - peaux sèches et sensibles - nettoyage douceur in French. I decided to write about it because even with my personal preference I can still talk about the product without being biased! 

On the back of the bottle it says (translated from German)

Gentle cleansing milk with wild roses-, marigold- and sweet wood extracts from controlled organic cultivation for dry and sensitive skin. Removes makeup, dirt particles, and excess oil. Organic shea butter and sunflower oil nurture and protect the skin from drying out.

Usage: Gently massage into the skin, remove with a damp cotton pad, clarify the skin with Facial Toner

When I picked up the bottle in the store, the description was what made me buy it. The scent of it is as well amazing, it smells so calming and with a hint of rose.

It removes all my make-up and even the mascara without me having to scrub hard and it doesn't dry out my skin at all.

But with all that amazingness, I still can't stand this product! I think it is because it is a cleansing milk, I just don't like cleansing milks. Cleansing milks just gross me out and I feel uncomfortable using them! I don't know why but that is really the only reason I don't like this product.

Do you like cleansing milks?

Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Aqua Tonic - Peeling and Face Mask

Today I wanted to talk about a new product in the Natural Cosmetics line by Migros, I accidental stumbled up on it when I went to the "big" Migros buying some Catrice and Essence cosmetics and found this as well! I am actually quite exited about this product line, they are made with Glacier Water and being half Icelandic I jump on everything that might remind me of Iceland. 

You can read my other reviews about products from the I am Natural Cosmetics line here.

What I found as well quite intriguing about his mask is that it is a two step process, the first step is the peeling and the second step the face mask.

Step One - Peeling

What it says on the back (translated from German):

Skin refining scrub with glacier water from the Monte Rosa mountain range and organic Malva extract. The refreshing formula, with sand scrub, gently removes dead skin particles and stimulates the skin micro-circulation. The skin is wonderfully smooth, even and perfectly prepared for the subsequent care mask.

The first thing I noticed with the peeling cream was the stench of alcohol, not surprisingly when you see that the second ingredient is alcohol. The second thing I noticed was how much of the peeling cream there was!
It did peel my skin gently but I could not breath with my nose without almost getting drunk. My skin did feel wonderfully smooth and you could feel the sand massage your skin. If it hadn't had this horrible alcohol scent I would have loved to buy a big bottle of it!

Ingredients for the peeling

Step Two - Face Mask

Pampering mask with glacier water from the Monte Rosa mountain range and organic Malva  extract. The special formula with high quality babassu oil provides the skin with an extra helping of moisture. The skin is relaxed, perfectly maintained and has winning radiance. 

The face mask felt amazing and it was shocking on how much actually absorbed into my skin! At the end of the 10 minutes it had mostly absorbed in my skin so I left it for a bit longer until it was fully absorbed, and let me tell you, I do not regret it. That extra helping of moisture really did its job! I think I would actually buy this on in full size if Migros would start selling them!

Ingredients for the face mask

All in all, I did like the face mask but not the peeling. Therefore I won't repurchase it (unless they would remove the alcohol).

P.S. Any face masks you have been loving or hating lately?

Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Detox & Energy Crème Soufflé

When I finished my previous lotion (reviewed here) in August I finally allowed myself to buy a lotion I have been eyeing for months! I think it is quite obvious that I love the I am Natural Cosmetics line that Migros produces and I am planning on reviewing every single product in that line (except for their shampoos)! Isn't that a great goal! It will take some time since I don't like having too many products lying around! You can see all my reviews from that line right here. 

Today I wanted to talk about one of their moisturizer, it is called Detox & Energy Crème Soufflé and comes in a bright yellow 200 ml plastic jar.


On the jar it says (translated from German):

Firming cream soufflé with a special biological complex 2 tea, lime and citrus extract oil from controlled biological cultivation. Enhances the appearance of the skin, promotes its elasticity, smooths and provides a spa experience. The silky, creamy texture moisturizes the skin and gives it energy.

And as with the other products from the I am Natural Cosmetics the products are without mineral oils, artificial color, fragrance and preservatives. 

The Detox & Energy Crème Soufflé doesn't have any parabens, which is great since I am trying to stay away from them.

The cream itself is silky smooth but it does take a bit of massaging for it to be absorbed into the skin, but that is something that I actually like about the cream since it reminds you to massage your skin. But when the cream is absorbed the skin feels amazingly soft and it smells so nice! I would describe the scent as being a sweet lemon, somewhere between a lemonade and a lemon candy. But it isn't a synthetic lemon smell but like a freshly squeezed lemon.

At the moment Migros has four other body moisturizers in the I am Natural Cosmetics line, they are Vanilla and Coconut body milk, Sea Buckthorn and Ginger body milk, Almond and Peaches body cream and finally Grapefruit and Bamboo body lotion. I cannot wait to try them all out!

What lotion are you using at the moment?

Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Green Tea and Lemon Grass Scrub / Exfoliator

Another product from the I am Natural Cosmetics skincare line from Migros. Today I will be talking about their Green Tea and Lemon Grass Exfoliator (Scrub) for all skin types.

On the bottle it is both in German (Grüner Tee, Zitronengras - Peeling - Alle Hauttypen, sanfte & belebende Reiningun) and French (Thé Vert, Citronnelle - Peeling - tout types de peaux - nettoyage douceur stimulant) 

On the back it says (translated from German): 

Exfoliating particles with the finest bamboo particles and organic green tea and lemongrass extracts. Removes dead skin cells and impurities gently. The skin appearance is refined, the skin feels soft. Use one or twice per week. 

As with most (if not all) of the items from the I am Natural Cosmetics line it is without mineral oils, artificial color, fragrance and preservatives.

I love the scent of this product, it smells exactly like lemon grass (a scent I LOVE), my skin feels really soft after using it and I would say more refined. The only problem I am having is that the bamboo particles are just too fine! I just feel like it doesn't scrub enough, I like to feel like I am scrubbing my face. This one just feels like I am lightly massaging my face with a hit of exfoliation. For the price of it (8.50 Franks/75 ml) I just wish for more of bamboo particles, just so that I can feel like I am really exfoliating my face!

So my search continues for an exfoliator that will be as good as the Yves Rocher - Clean Skin Scrub with Apricot Seed (Reviewed), but if you like a very gentle exfoliator I would recommend this one from Migros.

The I am Natural Cosmetics - Green Tea and Lemon Grass Scrub / Exfoliator  can be bought in Migros for 8.50 Franks (75ml)

Review: Migros - I am Natural Cosmetics - Cornflower Toner

Today I am reviewing another skincare product from Migros. As you might have noticed I am a big fan of their I am skincare line. Today I am going to talk about their Cornflower face toner. I might have picked it up because it has a purple cap, how I love purple. 

The German name for this product is: Kornblume Gesichtstonic - normale & Mischhaut - belebende Frische and in French it is Bleuet Lotion Tonique - Peaux normales & mixtes - fraîcheur vivifiante. 

The toner is made for normal and mixed skin and is without alcohol, mineral oils and synthetic colorants and perfumes. Fantastic!  

On the back of the bottle it says (translated from German):
Invigorating face tonic with cornflower extract from organic cultivation.Tones normal and combination skin after cleaning. The vegetable glycerine protects the skin from drying out. The skin is revitalized and refreshed. How to use: Apply after cleaning with a cleanser, gently swipe the skin with the toner on a cotton pad.

First I want to talk about what I like about this toner, I like how it smells. It smells like flowers. I like that it doesn't dry out my skin. Every time I use it I love it more and more, just the smell of it, how my skin feels afterwards. My skin feels not too tight or dry it actually feels soft and ready to be moisturised. It doesn't make my eyes get watery, which is a big plus for my since I sometimes use it to remove my eye make-up.

I don't like the formula too much, it feels a bit soapy but it doesn't leave any residue on the skin. It might just be that I am used to toners with alcohol so this one just feels different.

This toner can be bought in Migros and is 7.50 Franks for 200ml!

They have as well a toner made for sensitive skin that has Roses in them so I might buy that one too and see which one I will like more!

Bisous.
