Review - Yves Rocher selftanners and scrub

For most of my life I tanned a lot - like A LOT. My skin doesn't get a sunburn that easily, so I would not wear sunscreen and I would even tan in sunbeds in the winter-months. I really regret this now. I'm sure my skin would be a lot healtier haven't I tanned so much. Now I swear by self-tanners. It's a jungle outthere. You want something that doesn't smell too bad, something that doesn't make you look orange and something that's easy to apply. I was so happy, when I recieved these selftanners by Yves Rocher. I've been using them for two weeks now, and I really love them. 

The products smell of tiare flowers and don't have that self-tanner smell at all - I actually think these are the products that smell the best out of all self-tanners I've tried.

The face Autobronzant is a anti-wrinkle tanner with a lifting-effect. It really it super soft and smooth. I apply this every 3 days to keep a nice glow. The cream is white when applied and it's very easy to apply it without any streaks. In a couple of hours it gives you a nice glow. Not too dark, just a nice glow.

I'm really loving the Autobronzant self-tanner spray too. It gives you a nice color in only an hour. This spray has the same tiare flower scent and is very easy to apply. It looks like a oil when applied. You can spray a little to get a glow and spray more to go dark. 
I love the fact that these are botanical and that they really smell nice.


The last thing I'm reviewing this time it the Botanical apricot scrub. This apricot scrub has a really nice scent to it. It's packed with naturally exfoliating apricot kernel powder, saro oil and organic Mexican agave. Really another great product. 
I have to give all three things 5 of 5 stars.

Soap & Glory You cube gift box


 I bought one of these boxes, when I was in London. It was only £10. The smell of these products are very bubble-gum-ish, so if you don't like really sweet scents this is not for you. The box contains small containers of the The Righteous Butter Body Butter, Flake Away Body Polish, Clean On Me Shower Gel, Hand Food Hand Cream & a Super Sudsy Puff. This is also a great gift for a special friend or sister.


Yves Rocher review: Tradition de Hammam

Moroccan argan oil is on everyone's lips these days, so I was so happy to be sent these three items to test: Oriental shower oil, Oriental velvety skin scrub and Oriental nourising argan balm. All products contains organic argan oil from Morocca. I love the luxe smell and the feel of these products. It's like having the feel of going to the Hammam, just at home. 

First is the shower oil (200 ml): again love the exotic smell! I also love how this leaves your skin. After showering using the shower oil your body is not dry, but feels satiny soft. I use it every day now. You only have to use a small amount each time.
And to the balm (150 ml): Again the lovely smell. Putting this on after the scrub will make your body feel like velvet; so soft. It just melts into your skin. It cointains organic orange blossom together with the argan oil. Very luxurious smell.
The oriental scrub (150ml): combined with argan oil, Moroccan clay and argan kernel powder this scrub leaves your skin really soft. It has the luxe smell just like the other two products. I buff it in with my hand on dampened skin and rinse with water and my skin is so soft after. 

All in all I must say that these are some of my new favorite products. I really, honestly love them. Can't say enough good things about them.
There are also a lot of other products in the Hammam line to try. Yves Rocher carry kits and gift collections of this line, really nice for this time a year. Go to http://www.yves-rocher.com/ to see it yourself:)

Yves Rocher review - Couleurs naturenail lacquer , Quick dry fluid and Couleurs nature lipsticks

So this is my first makeup-review ever. I'm reviewing 5 things from Yves Rocher; 2 lipsticks, 2 nailpolishes and a quick dry top coat. 
First off are the lipsticks. They are very creamy and contains sheabutter and abricotoil. They go on very smoothly. They are non-drying and the color payoff is amazing. It comes in 5 different shades and I am reviewing the color Rouge and Rose. I'm only into nude colors on mu lips myself, so the red is too bright for me. I know that bright lips are really in right now so if you like bright red try it out. The rose one is really beautiful for my skintype. 
Pro's: Great color payoff, creamy, contains organic sesamoil
Con's: I don't really like the smell of the lipsticks
On to the next 3 things; the polishes. I was sent the colors rouge and aubergine. I really like the aubergine color. Looks great on and you only need one coat. In the pictures I only have one coat of the polishes on and that's all you need. The quick dry top coat really does dry very quickly and gives the nail a shiny sheen. That's my favorite item out of them all. I really don't have any con's on the polishes. Polishes comes in 16 beautiful colors.



Please excuse my hand, which has a fading henna glove drawn on it. Go here to see the nailpolishes. Go here for the quick dry and go here for the lipsticks. In the bottom bar on the website you can change to your country:) 

I will have a giveaway on the red lipstick and red nailpolish in the near future so remember to follow:)
