Beauty ponders

Last week an expected package came in & when I opened it the wrapped gifts saluted me... It's always fun to open something that's wrapped - even though you know what's inside :) I can be such a little girl when it comes to something like this.
Anyway, it was my strawberrynet order (I talked about it 2 weeks ago, with the makeup discount they were offering) and I didn't ask for gift wrapping but they did it anyway - maybe because I'm such a good customer of theirs? Possible!
And now inside the gift wrapping: MAC blush Dainty (at first glance I'm in love with this colour, wow!), MAC blush Gentle (this looks more mauvy than expected), Laura Mercier brightening powder, Laura Mercier illuminating moisturizer.

You know, lately I've been buying a lot of blushes - I'm in a blush-fase I guess. Do you also have these kind of fases?

You may have noticed that this last couple of days it has been quite calm on my blog, calmer than usual... I'm actually cleaning out my clossets and setting stuff aside for a blogsale as I have a bit too much. Pictures will be taken in the weekend and hopefully it will be online soon :). Be sure to check again!

Louis Widmer has a lovely colour packaging: white & pink - two of my favourite ones. Apart from that the packaging is quite simple and honestly a bit oldfashioned, but what matters is what's inside after all. Remember me talking about my deodorant threesome last week? It came in & that wasn't all I ordered you know...
Yes, I got the deodorants and here they are. I'm thinking of using the creme first as it's already quite cold in Belgium, whereby I mean 16degrees. And I bought 2 little extras: one being an intensive serum which is one of their most expensive products and also a non-alcohol non-perfume tonic which wasn't expensive as I'm still looking for the best pricequality refreshing non-irritating toner. I'm quite eager to try them as I'm not familiar with this brand's skincare.
Have you already tried products from Louis Widmer and what are you favourites?

La Roche-Posay is another one of those French pharmacie brands that I'm in love with. They have a wide range of skincare products and I enjoy using them from time to time - they make great products for sensitive skin. Today I'm going to talk about my favourite cleanser which has reached an HG-status over the last few months...
This cleanser is available in 2 sizes: 200ml and 400ml, both are priced between 10-16euros. I bought the 400ml because of the pricequantity ánd you get a pump on top of it - which makes it so much easier to get the right amount of product. I've been using it for half a year now and will probably get 1 or 2 months more usage out of it, so it definitely goes a long way. The packaging is really simple: white & basic, as all LRP products.
The pump dispenser works easily, I usually take 2 pumps to cleanse my face. You can use a cotton ball or a washing cloth with this cleanser, depends on your likings. I use my hands to spread the cleanser and afterwards I use a washing cloth to remove the last traces. I don't like a cotton ball for this purpose as it always leaves a greasy layer. This product is fragrance-free, which I'm a fan of, you don't need perfume on your face. It's also perfect for sensitive skin, it never irritated mine or gave it a tingling feeling - even when spending all day outdoors - big plus!

Then it's also great for dry skin: after cleansing my skin doesn't feel tight, it just feels normal. This is a problem I often have with other cleansers, my skin practically begs for hydration... The product is really creamy and rich, it spreads easily and almost 'sinks' into your skin. Afterwards my skin feels soft and clean. This cleanser is good at removing make-up, but if you are wearing a lot I would advice using a seperate make-up remover prior to cleansing. For me, it cleanses my skin enough and doesn't clogg my pores - but on the other hand I rarily have clogged pores and break-outs. If you do, I would test this cleanser first as it is quite rich in texture.
The goods: ingredients (no fragrance), rich & creamy, cleanses well (can remove make-up), doesn't leave skin feeling tight, doesn't irritate at all, good pricequantity, pumppackaging

The bads: probably only suited for skin not prone to break-outs/clogged pores

Summing it up: yes, I love this cleanser and it suites my skin type perfectly. I still have a few new cleansers awaiting reviews, but this one will be repurchased without a doubt. Highly recommended product for sensitive skin types not prone to clogging.

Yesterday whilst browsing some online shops - part of daily routine just to see what's in stock - I noticed Strawberrynet was having another discount, haircare this time. They are offering an additional 10% off your order, so if you need something - now is the time to buy it. I've ordered several times from them and it's a trustworthy site.
Myself, I'm going to skip this time -yes you're reading this perfectly clear and I'm not having a heart attack or anything- I still have a few things in stock that haven't been used yet and well quite frankly, I could do more than half a year with what I have now...

I hope you buy something nice :)
