HAULy friday – 32 – Rituals

Hello everyone,

I am honestly a little embarrassed about this one, since I got the products as a gift from my friend Katja LAST YEAR for my birthday/christmas …. ouch, I am late.

[sponsored] Rituals no.1

Hey lovelies,

the whole moving and arranging things in the new apartment is pretty exhausting, BUT on Saturday my life has been saved :)

I received a sample package from the PR agency of Rituals, with three great products in it.

Let’s see what I got :D

Flower Shower Foam

A limited edition of the Rituals shower foams. This is from their Indian Summer line.
The used natural ingredients of White Lotus and Bergamot provide a wonderfully fresh fragrance.

I love these shower foams, because they feel so luxurious on the skin and smell so nice.
I am a big fan of the discreet ones like the one from their Sakura Line which is called Zensation, T’ai chi or this one from their Indian Summer Line.

You just take a little bit of the gel which, when it gets in contact with water, transforms into a rich soothing foam.
There are also lots of other things like Fragrance Sticks, Candles or other body treatments like their body cream or shower oil.

I personally would love to try the candle, since I already own the green tea candle called tea time and I love it.

Mini Nail Varnish – 2206 Seafoam

This puppy was also in the package. A nice turquoise long-lasting nail polish with a hint of a golden shimmer in it.
I couldn’t wait to try it and must say I really like the color. The application was also pretty easy even though it took me a minute to get used to the brush. Not that it is a difficult brush to work with, but I am more used to the wider brushes.

How do you like the color?

Quick Dry Drops

The perfect match for the polish are these Quick Dry Drops which they also sent to me. So far I only tried the ones from Essence, which sadly always make my polishes bubble up. These from Rituals are much better. I tried them twice already. Once with a KOH polish I recently bought and with this polish from Rituals. Both times I used it I had no problems at all and they worked very well.

I saw that they not only sell more colors of polish, but also a nail cuticle treatment, a nail corrector pen as well as a nail polish remover and nail files.

Would love to try the cuticle treatment. I currently use the one from p2 which is ok but I feel a real treatment should do more^^

Have you tried anything from the Rituals product you can recommend to me?
I would love to read your opinion.

 

Have a great night

HAULy friday – 21 – random things

Hello everyone,

days like today really push me to the limit.
We planned to buy wallpaper, white paint and our whole new kitchen, including cutting the workspace wood and the “hole“ for the sink….
We also wanted to start renovating our new apartment.
I tell you things went wrooong.
The paper turned out pretty shitty, meaning it is too thin, because of that it is impossible to cut it with a cutter knife without ripping it. We ended up deciding we will only paint the walls and bring back the wallpaper and glue stuff to the shop.
Also we bought three huge work space woods /counters. All needed yo be shortened which worked, but one needed the hole for the sink even though we brought the sink to the guy at the shop, he cut it too big!!!! He did not apologize, he even blamed me because I put too much pressure on him saying I needed the counter cut today not tomorrow or monday. Bitch what?!
Anyway, I am super tired now and not really able to make a huge HAULy friday pist, so I just want to show you some products I bought a while back, but which I love.

shampoo and conditioner from Balea. I do not like this. I don’t know why so many people wrote good reviews about it, but it just doesn’t work for me.

shaving from from Balea. Very nice and good smelling. I just love it.

honey mania body scrub from The body shop.
In general I love the scrubs from them. I recent also bought one from Rituals, which I love even more and one from Balea which I still have to try.

Have an awesome weekend.
