Rossmann "Schön für mich" beauty box August

Better late than never, here are the contents of the Rossmann "Schön für mich" beauty box that I got in august.

//Más vale tarde que nunca, aquí está el contenido de la beauty box "Schön für mich" de Rossmann de agosto.//

The box came with 11 products, most of them are own brands from Rossmann, actually 9 of 11 are own brands, the other 2 are from Essence.

//La caja venía con 11 productos, la mayoría marcas blancas de la propia cadena Rossmann, de hecho 9 de 11 son de marca blanca y los otros dos de Essence.//

These 3 products above are for summer and beach, one sun block with 30 SPF to use on wet skin (it's waterproof), one after-sun spray with aloe vera and a water spray with aloe vera too.
I haven't tried the first 2 things, in my opinion they should have come in an earlier box and not so late, specially here in Germany where summer ends very soon. The water spray is just simple water (not thermal) with some aloe vera, but I find it very refreshing anyways, I like it!

//Estos 3 productos de arriba son para el verano y la playa, un protector solar con factor 30 para usar sobre la piel mojada (es resistente al agua), un after-sun en spray con aloe vera y un spray refrescante de agua con aloe vera también.
Los dos primeros productos no los he usado, en mi opinión deberían haber venido en otra caja anterior, sobretodo teniendo en cuenta que el verano alemán termina pronto. El spray de agua contiene agua normal (no termal) con un toque de aloe vera, pero me parece igualmente muy refrescante, me gusta.//

I also got a cream for the hair, to prevent split ends, I'm not a fan of this kind of products, I don't think they work, but I'll give it a try anyways.
A peeling shower gel to use once or twice a week, it has bio aloe vera, bio coconut and papaya. It's a soft peeling and smells good.
A perfume called "It's pool time", a refreshing blue scent, it doesn't smell bad, only a bit too sweet for me, but it's that kind of cheap perfumes that I don't usually buy.
And an Essence mascara and nail polish. I forgot to show you the brush, it's wide and big, very common, and the mascara is waterproof, something I appreciate. The nail polish belongs to the gel nail polish collection and it's the number 04 "our sweetest day", a very very light shiny pink, unfortunately I don't like this colour.

//También venía una crema para el pelo para prevenir las puntas abiertas, no soy fan de este tipo de productos pues no creo que funcionen pero bueno, le daré una oportunidad.
Un gel de ducha efecto peeling para usar una o dos veces a la semana, contiene aloe vera bio, coco bio  y papaya. Es un peeling suave y huele bastante bien.
Un perfume llamado "It's pool time", es un aroma refrescante de color azul, no huele mal, sólo un poco demasiado dulce para mi, pero es de esos tipos de perfumes baratos que no suelo comprar.
Y una máscara de pestañas y una laca de uñas de Essence. Se me olvidó enseñar el cepillo, es ancho y grande, muy típico, y es además resistente al agua, algo que agradezco. La laca de uñas pertenece a la colección the gel nail polish y es el número 04 "our sweetest day", un rosa muy muy clarito y brillante, un color que no me gusta nada.//

Finally a brush for long hair, with anti-static cling effect in hair and that provides a silky shine. It combines natural and plastic materials and although it's designed for long thick hair, it can be used on all hair types, mine it's not so long at the moment and I like this brush!
A razor with 6 blades, with an oscillating and flexible head. The heads are interchangeables and it comes with a protective cap to take the cartridges with you and a holder for the shower.
The last product is a mango snack: dried mango stripes that contain vitamin E. I must say when you open it, it doesn't smells good and the stripes don't like like the image at all. I'm sorry but I don't like this product, I won't buy it.

I find this box a bit disappointing and not so good as others, what a shame.

//Para terminar un cepillo para pelo largo, con efecto anti electricidad estática y que aporta una brillo sedoso. Combina materiales naturales con otros de plástico y aunque está pensado para pelo pargo y grueso, se puede usar en todo tipo de pelo, el mío ahora mismo no es muy largo y me gusta mucho este cepillo.
Una maquinilla de 6 hojas, con cabezal oscilante y flexible. Son intercambiables los cabezales y viene con una capucha protectora para llevarte el cabezal contigo y un colgador para la ducha.
El último producto es un snack de mango: trozos de mango deshidratado con vitamina E. Tengo que decir que cuando lo abres no huele nada bien, los trozos de mango no se parecen para nada a los de la foto y no, no me ha gustado nada, no repetiría.

Esta caja me ha parecido un poco decepcionante y más floja que otras, una pena.//

p2 - Some like it hot

Some color for the last days of summer!
//¡Algo de color para los últimos días de verano!//

I know I didn't write on my blog the whole summer, but I was in Spain and I forgot my 2 cameras in Germany so I couldn't do any pictures, yes I had my cell phone but the quality wasn't good enough.
Anyway, here I am again, this time I show you some products that belong to the p2 limited edition "Some like it hot". It's full of colour and inspired by the Miami beaches. It was available in stores for one month in summer.

//Ya sé que no escribí nada en mi blog durante el verano, pero es que estuve en España y se me olvidaron mis dos cámaras en Alemania así que no pude hacer fotos, sí que tenía mi móvil pero la calidad no era demasiado buena para el blog. 
Pero bueno ya he vuelto y esta vez os muestro unos productos que pertenecen a la edición limitada de p2 "Some like it hot". Está llena de colores e inspirada en las playas de Miami. Estuvo a la venta durante un mes este verano.//

Do you like these 2 nail polishes? One in blue and the other one in pink. Aren't they "happy" and funny colours? I like them for summer but I must admit they're not colours I'd wear every day.

//¿Os gustan estas dos lacas de uñas? Una en rosa y la otra en azul. ¿No son colores graciosos y alegres? Me gustan para el verano pero tengo que admitir también que no son tonos que yo usaría todos los días.//

A mascara and a lipgloss also belong to the collection. Both in funny colours too. The mascara is blue as you can see and the lipgloss has exactly the same colour as the tube, but once on your lips it's transparent although also very sticky. I don't like the mascara much, I'd wear it maybe for a special party but nothing more. Would you wear it daily?

//Una máscara y un lipgloss también pertecen a la colección. Los dos en colores graciosos. La máscara es azul como se puede ver y el gloss tiene exactamente el mismo color que el tubo, pero una vez puesto es transparente aunque también muy pegajoso. No me gusta mucho la máscara, quizás la usaría para alguna fiesta especial pero nada más. ¿Vosotras la usaríais a diario?//

And the last 2 things are a pocket mirror and a blush with a nice print. I find the pocket mirror a bit cheap and I think I actually prefer to use the blush as a pocket mirror, I like it much better and the colour is also great, furthermore it contains vitamin E and aloe vera.

//Y las dos últimas cosas son un espejo de bolso y un colorete con un impreso muy mono. El espejo de bolso la verdad es que me parece "barato", casi que prefiero usar el colorete como espejo, me gusta mucho más y el color es muy bonito, además contiene vitamina e y aloe vera.//

Basic Spring Outfits

Yes, the spring is finally here and I can't wait for the sunny and warmer days to come. I have already in mind what I want to buy and wear for the next months, and here is some inspiration: two basic outfits I've created and that sum up my favourite styles.

The first one is an outfit in soft tones: accessories in beige, a top in pastel pink and a multicolour jacket, all pieces to combine with jeans, the basic item par excellence. I don't know why but beige is a colour I always connect with spring, and it's actually for example very common to find beige ankle boots at stores in this season. What I like the most from this outfit are the bucket bag and the hat, both from Esprit (here and here), the same as the rest of the items.

The second outfit is in navy style, always a must for spring/summer. This is a mix between chic and casual and full with trendy items: a short trench in dark blue, again a bucket bag in navy style and white snikers to accompany the skort (shorts that look like a skirt on the front) and the basic white lace tshirt. The Esprit scarf and the sunglasses give the final touch. Again my favourite item is the bag together this time with the skort (here and here)! Do you like them? What are your basics for this new season?

ESPRIT Maxi Dresses Outfits

The summer is coming and there is one item I love to wear in these days: dresses! Every year I buy at least a couple of new dresses for spring/summer, this year I’ve already bought the first one and now I’m thinking about the second one which I’d love it to be a maxi dress.

I haven’t any long dresses and I have never bought any, but I would really love to have one. The problem is that I’ve always thought they’re not for me because I’m not very tall and they’re always too long. But this year I will sure buy me one, if they’re too long I will cut them, I don’t care, this summer I’ll be wearing a maxi dress!

I’ve started to look for long dresses and I’ve found these 4 on ESPRIT (.de/.com). I’m totally in love with them so I also created outfits with them and other items, all from ESPRIT. Don’t you like them?

This is a lovely dress in light tones that I think would look great with a denim vest and accessories in beige/brown. The bag is actually made of denim and canvas.

Tropical feeling is what I get when I look at this maxi dress! With a flower print in yellow, green and red, this is the perfect dress for sunny days. The straps are removable, so you can also wear it strapless.

This one is a basics, the color is really easy to mix, for example I like it with white and silver. I especially like the straps and the back part in macramé.

I love this last dress, in white with colorful touches on the top and a built in belt. I like white clothes combined with golden accessories, like here, what do you think?

I created the four outfits in a casual style because that’s what I wear the most, but of course if you change the accessories you can also create perfect outfits for the evening, the beach, a party…

Which one is your favorite dress? I love the first and last one, I can’t decide! Do you like the other items too? You can find them all on the website of ESPRIT (or in stores :P ). 

BABOR Spring/Summer 14

The spring is already here and I can't wait to wear bright and happy colours and see them everywhere, like those from the new BABOR make-up collection for this season. Inspired by the tropical, it combines blues, greens and oranges to create a fresh, positiv and stylish sensation.

I've had the chance to try 2 of the products: one eye shadow and one nail polish, and I must say I love them, specially the nail polish in coral tone (38), the result is really good and the colour is just perfect for the spring/summer and great to combine with my clothes of the same tone or to brighten up other looks.

He tenido la oportunidad de probar dos de los productos: una de las sombras de ojos y una laca de uñas y tengo que decir que me encantan, sobretodo la laca de uñas en tono coral (38), el resultado es buenísimo y el color es perfecto para la primavera/verano e ideal para combinar con mis prendas del mismo tono o para resaltar looks.

BABOR Eye Shadow Duo and Nail Polish

The eye shadow comes in a pencil form with two colours, this one in a matt green and a shiny peach, perfect tones and great quality, I love it!

La sombra de ojos viene en formato lápiz con dos colores, éste en un verde mate y un melocotón con brillo, dos tonos perfectos y una calidad muy buena, me encanta!

Esprit studded denim jacket

It's not new that I love studded clothes and if you didn't know I love denim jackets too, and I think I've just found the perfect mix! I have been thinking about buying me a new denim jacket, but this time in a lighter tone than the one I have, so this could be the right jacket. Do you like it?

I found it on Esprit.de (or .com for other countries) and I decided to create a couple of outfits with it and other Esprit clothes because I saw some interesting things for this summer.

The first one is a classic for all summers, a LWD (little white dress) with a denim jacket and sandals, I didn't add the accessories but I'd wear this with brown items.

Esprit Denim jacket // Esprit white dress // Esprit steel ring // Esprit sandals

The second one is a casual outfit with mint jeans and flat sandals, I love specially the shirt, I like white shirts in general but the brown stripe in this one makes it different, I just love it!

Esprit denim jacket // Esprit white shirt // Esprit mint jeans // Esprit flat sandals

I also found other great jackets that make me doubt about what I should buy, a coloured denim jacket, a light blue one, a smooth leather jacket?? I'm not sure what kind of jacket the first one is but it looks really good, specially the design.

Studded sandals + mint and white outfit

Last season I was really happy because it was easy to find studded shoes or clothes everywhere and I love studded items. This spring/summer I want to go on with this trend so here is a small selection of studded sandals for the next months.

1. Isabel Marant The Carol / 2. Marni / 3. Giuseppe Zanotti / 4. Valentino / 5. Michael Kors Persia / 6. Christian Louboutin Cataclou 140 / 7. Miu Miu / 8. Michael Kors Alexi

My favourite ones are the white flat sandals (Michael Kors Persia) and with them I've created a lovely outfit that makes me think of summer!

Miu Miu top / Givenchy sunglasses / Versace bag / Chickster Women's skirt / Michael Kors sandals / Aurélie Bidermann bracelet

Beach Summer Sea

Estuve mes y medio con la playa al lado, pero el tiempo no me dejó disfrutarla ni un momento, y ahora que me he vuelto tengo sol y calor pero no playa, ays si es que no se puede tener todo... :P

Pero no importa porque pronto volveré a tener la oportunidad de estar cerca del mar, así que me voy a ir dejando inspirar... La mayoría son creaciones (accesorios y decoración) hechas a mano que se pueden comprar en Etsy y además de bonitas son perfectas para hacer sentir más cerca el mar y el verano, lo quiero todo!!
