Hollister - Body Mists and Body Lotion

Hello Lovelies !Today I´m going to write about the Body Care from Hollister.I own two Body Mists (14euro/ca.11pounds) and one Body Lotion.
  


They are in the scents Crescent Bay(right) and Solana Beach(left).All Body Mists from Hollister are very summery and  they are the best alternative to perfume in summer as it doesn´t feel so heavy on the skin and it refreshes.They seem to have colour but it doesn´t show off at all so you can apply them even when you´re wearing white clothes,without worrying that it shows off pink or blue.The smell stays quite long but you have to touch it up throughout the day wich isn´t very practicale as you don´t want to carry the bottle around all day.Crescent Bay smells like sugary watermelon and it smells absolutely delicious it is definitely on the fruity side and it isn´t very complex so you have this one smell and it stays just like this.
Solana Beach smells more floraly than fruity but there´s a hint of raspberry in it and it also smells a bit like vanilla this is a bit more complex than Crescent Bay but also quite simple.I think the only downside on these are that they run out quite fast so you can´t use them too much if you don´t want to get a new one after a short time.
However I would recommend this to younger people or just for your freetime but this is definitely not made for going to work with it, maybe for school but it depends on how much you apply.The Mists  themselves are great and I love to put them on.

Now going on with the Body Lotion in the scent Trippers Beach(14euros/ca.11pounds).
The scent again as every Body Care product from Hollister is very summery.The texture of this is so creamy and lightweight.Not just that it moisturises really great and goes on really smooth  it doesn´t claim anything about it but what I notice everytime I put this on is that itmakes my skin look more flawless wich is super great and makes me love this more.The main reason why I bought this was actually the smell of it because it smells just like this orange water ice everybody remembers from her childhood.I think there is nothing bad to say about this I highly recommend the Hollister Body Care the next time you go into a Hollister you should take a sniff at some of the scents because I think not everyone will like the same scents as I do.
I hoped you enjoyed reading this.

Review - batiste dry shampoo

Hello lovlies ! So today I´m going to review the dry shampoo by batiste.It´s a scented dry shampoo.


I got the scents floral&fruity blush,clean&classic original in the small sizes wich contain 50ml and I got coconut&exotic tropical scent in the middle size wich contains 200ml.I got the little ones for ca.2euro/1.65pounds and the big one for ca.5euro/in the uk available for ca.5pounds wich is quite expensive for a normal shampoo and you have to use quite a lot so it will last just as long as a normal shmapoo.You can get them in many scents so there is enough choice.The packaging is really cute and I think a bit retro wich I think looks great.The shampoo does refresh your hair but it isn´t the same as washing your hair with water.I use this after PE or in the morning when I don´t have much time.I really like this because it´s a great alternative for washing your hair everyday as I tend to do and that isn´t really good for my hair as it gets fatty fasterand THAT isn´t a  good thing either.But I notice after using this a few weeks like once or twice a week my hair gets dry so I stopped using it for a while but when I saw the coconut scent I just had to get it.


The main problem of this is , if you don´t brush it out enough it leaves white dust in your hair and you will look some years older :p I would recommend this to anyone who hasn´t that much time in the morning it is good but it isn´t great so i think you should take a look at it but don´t get your hopes too high.

Review - Hervana blush by Benefit

Hello lovlies ! So today I wanted to talk about my favorite blush ever and it´s Hervana by Benefit.
I really love the packaging because it is as cute as every other benefit package it kind of shows a sky in purple,pink and a really light pink just as the colours of the blush . The lid is really easy to open and it closes itself because of the magnet it has.
 It is really handy as it has a mirror in it and also a cute little brush wich I don´t use because it feels a bit rough when you use it on your face.The blush on itself smells like melons wich  is great, because who wants a bad smelling blush ?! It has 4 colours in it : a light bronze/brown shade , a mauvy/rosy shade , a light purple shade and a champagne tone as highlighter.All shades have a really sheer shimmer that makes your cheeks glow healthy and in my opinion makes you look like an angel.The blush is really pigmented so you only have to put on one layer but it is definitely buildable.The texture is really smooth so you can blend it perfectly.It stays all day and so it isn´t needed to touch up troughout the day.I know 32euros/24pounds/28$ might not be in everyones budget but it is absolutely worth the money because it lasts for ages! I have been using this blush on a regular basis for almost a year now and it still isn´t even near to run out , but as soon as it runs out I will have to get a new one immediately.Because of the multiple colours I think it would suit almost every skin tone but I think it looks the best on either really dark skin or on really pale skin with blond hair. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a sheer and healthy glow on the cheeks.
I hope you enjoyed reading this and please let me know in the comments what you would like to read next.
