[Review] Florena

Good evening everyone,

today I would like to talk about some products by Florena, a german cosmetic brand, that sells mainly skin care products.

For a while now I am searching for a good face creme that will hydrate and also nurture my skin. I have a combination of normal and dry skin, as well as sensitive skin. I tried a few brands so far but none of them satisfied me.

Since I recently tried the make-up wipes and was pretty happy with those, I thought I would try their face cremes as well.

I bought their night creme with olive oil and used it the same day right after I finished cleaning my face. Sadly I had an immediate reaction to it. My skin burned and turned red, which was I rinsed it off after around 5 minutes after application.

I was also very intrigued by their creme with green tea and rice powder, but probably won’t buy it due to my reaction to their oder product.

Do you have any experience with Florena products? Do you might know why my skin reacted this way?

Let me know in the comments, also if you have any recommendations.

[Review] Rossmann Christmas Box

Good evening everyone,

I know I am late, but today I am reviewing the Christmas Blogger Box from Rossmann which most Bloggers got around the middle of December. Due to some circumstances my package did not get to me in time, but the lovely Blogger team from Rossmann was so kind to send me the box again. I already saw what was in the Box all over Instagram but that’s okay. It actually made me even happier because I was really looking forward to the products.

Let’s take a look at the Box

I was so surprised of how pretty the box is! All the pictures I have seen on the Internet didn’t do it justice. It is such a cute purple and white winter wonderland pattern. I will keep it and use it to wrap and send over some Christmas presents to my best friend in Japan by the end of this year. She will surely love it as much as I do.

Inside the box you could find a Christmas Card and a press paper that included information about all the products that were included.

NEUTROGENA hand creme with nordic berry

YAY! for Neutrogena Hand Creme, it is prefect for my everyday bag. I love their cremes because my hands tend to get dry at work. I am very happy about this product.

Essence lash princess mascara

This is the only product I will try, but probably give to someone else. I do not use make up that often anymore and I already have 2 of the Manhattan Supreme Lash Mascara which I got with all those Birthday Colours polishes a wile ago. There is no way I can use that many Mascara^^

Sebamed body-milk

One of the great products I was really looking forward to. I am sure we will use this body milk, since my boyfriend and I have sensitive skin with dry spots, especially during winter.

Rexona cotton deodorant spray

A nice small bottle of spray deodorant, great for my everyday work bag. Rexona makes great deodorants, so I am sure I will use this regularly.

ISANA men Q10 roll on eye gel

One of the two products they included for men. My boyfriend might try it or he might not. We will see, but I am happy they not only included products for women.

Weleda MEN active-shower gel

I was very happy to see that they included another product for men and even happier when I saw it was from Weleda, which is a great company for sensitive as my boyfriend has it. He doesn’t use many products because his skin reacts negatively.

For your Beauty face-peeling pad

A year or so ago I bought the peeling pad from Ebelin, which looks very similar. I am excited to see how this one is working.

Tetesept bath salt – time for you

I am a big fan of the Tetesept bath products. I regularly buy them and use them, so I was happy I got this one. I used it before it is really relaxing and calming after a stressful day.

Thanks again to Rossmann for sending this cute Christmas present full of nice products. I really appreciate it!

[sponsored] DM – Balea Cell Energy elixir

Hey everyone,

a few weeks ago DM sent me the Balea Cell Energy day elixir to test out.

After using it for a few weeks I can say that I am really impressed. Usually I use two types of face cremes. During spring and summer I use the Nivea Soft (tube) with Jojoba-oil and Vitamin E and during fall and winter I use Eubos Omega 3-6-9, 12 % with Defensil, since my skin tends to be even more sensitive, dry and itchy during that time. It also helps wonders with my red spots.

But well, I wanted to try this one for you guys to tell you how it worked on my sensitive skin and if I would recommend it to you.

While I was using the creme I was reading a lot of reviews from other Bloggers who also got to test it out and I was shocked how many wrote bad reviews. I think this products is really a case of trying for yourself. I had really good results with the creme. I used it after washing my face, before going to bed and I did not have any bad reactions to it. I felt the creme was really gentle on my skin, moisturizing and nicely scented. My skin felt smoother and refreshed as well.

I can not recommend this creme after reading other peoples reactions, but I can say it worked fine for me. If you are curious, you should try it yourself, but be careful and maybe at first only try it on a small spot of your face or skin in general.
