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: Biotherm - Baume Corps - Oil Therapy - Nurti-Replenishing Body Treatment With Apricot Oil

Since I have already quite a lot of make-up and other sort of things I wanted to review everything so I have it around for whenever I want to mention it. Today I want to review my other lotion. Yes, it is true. I pretty much just use two different lotions. I am not a lotion slut, I stick with my lotion until it is finished.

I love the scent of this lotion, it has apricot oil in it and you can smell it. My skin is as well super smooth after I use it. 

The lotion is quite thick but it gets absorbed quickly into the skin.

There are couple of things that I don't like about this lotion and they are all in the ingredients list.

According to the webpage of Biotherm the ingredients are:

Three precious oils for the most precious skin:

- Musk Rose Oil: Omega 3 & 6, with REGENERATING and FORTIFYING properties

- Passion Flower Oil: Omega 3 & 6, with NOURISHING and EMBELLISHING properties

- Apricot Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids, with SOFTENING and SMOOTHING properties 

In the real world these are the ingredients:

Aqua, Zea Mays, Glycerin, Paraffinum Liquidum, Isopropyl Palmitate, Petrolatum, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, Paraffin, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Prunus Armenicac Kernel Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenoxyetanol, Parfum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Aminio Acids, Carbomer, Glyceryl Linoleate, Limonene, Dimethiconol, Methylparaben. Glyceryl Oleate, Propylparaben, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Vitreoscilla Ferment Extract, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool, Glyceryl Linolenate, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Benzyl Alcohol, Citral, Geraniol Citronellol, Ci 15985.

Yes, that is a really long ingredients list and it scares me. I am not sure if I will buy this again, I've finished over half of the bottle. I think I'll probably try to find something else with a much shorter ingredients list.

The Biotherm Lotion can be bought from amazon for $37.50

Review: St. Ives - Hydrating Vitamin E Daily Moisturizer

Since I wanted to review all my make-up why shouldn't I as well review my lotions, body washes and that kind of things!

I've wanted to review this lotion for some time now, I've had this bottle (18 fl oz, 532 ml) for almost a year now and it's not even close to be finished.

I only use this lotion after I shower and it makes my skin super smooth! It doesn't have a strong smell, I can't stand when my lotions are too scented.

There are some things I don't like about it, it takes some time for the cream to be fully absorbed into the skin and I feel really sticky until it is fully absorbed.

I don't like that it has Mineral Oils in it and that is probably why I wont buy it again when I finish the bottle.

It doesn't have any Parabens and Phthalates and it says on the bottle that the moisturizer is 100% natural, has not been tested on animals and does not contain any animal ingredients. Furthermore, the bottle is made out of 20% post-consumer recycled material.

You can buy a 21 oz bottle at Walgreens for $5.29!

The good is trying to outweigh the bad but the next lotion I want to buy will be even better! Any ideas what I should buy?


Bisous!

P.S. Did you remember to put on sunscreen today?

Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof - #40 Violine

I've been looking for a new purple eye-liner for a while now but couldn't find one that I really liked. There was one from MAC that I was thinking about but it just wasn't the right kind of purple!

After my hand was full of different purple eye-liner tests I found the right one: Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof, colour:  #40 Violine.  It stays on for the entire day! That's rare for me since I'm always rubbing my eyes!




The mascara I used one these pictures is the same one as I wore in January as my Thursday Make Up. It's my precious Hypnôse Precious Cells by Lancome. And on my lips I've got the Clinique Chubby Stick nr. 07 Super Strawberry. And of course my lotion Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion from Clinique.
