Review of the product:
I have bought this foot butter after my positive experiences with Mandara SPA Tropical Blooms shower gel, which I reviewed on my blog earlier during my grocery shopping at Sainsbury’s.
As I always read labels what is on the ingredients list and I am very impressed with Mandara SPA products how they are formulated using naturally active raw materials.
This is rare nowadays to see such high quality of products in a grocery supermarket.

Review of the product: I have this product on my bathroom shelf for years and it is a must have for every lady who loves an eye make up with eye liners. First time I bought it in Germany in year 2000. It is an excellent product.

Copyright © 2014-2015 Elkapatelka Aussie Luscious Long Shampoo
Review of the product: I have long hair and always look for a shampoo for my type of hair, yet there aren’t so many available. Aussie smelled so nicely and I have decided to tried it out. It has an interesting name – luscious – on of the meaning is a synonym of stunning, gorgeous, sexy, beautiful, attractive.
Aussie promise: shampoo for long locks hair, leaving hair shiny and smooth, but it does not tell you how harsh it is for your health. Here is the controversy..

Brand: Nivea
Category: BB cream (Blemish balm)
Name: Nivea BB cream 5 in 1 light
Country origin: unknown-no information on the package
Price: £ 1.5
Size:30 ml
Review of the product: Nivea BB 5 in 1 costs so little that you can just simply write it off when it does not work for you.
Traditional blue Nivea cream was my granny’s favorite. I like also this classic Nivea scent. This sentiment brought me into purchase of the Nivea 5 in 1 BB cream.
5 in 1-what a nonsense. We all know how good are the 2 in 1 products, and 5 in 1? Even worse. We are getting more and more promises from the manufacturers. I wonder where is the limit, 100 in 1?
Okay, lets start from positives:

Brand: Lancome
Category: Cleanser
Name: Galateis Douceur Cleanser – For All Skin Types
Country origin: Made in France
Size: 400 ml
Price: approx £23
Review of the product: ‘Lancome Galateis Douceur Cleanser 400ml – For All Skin Types’ has been my favourite eye make up cleanser for years.
I had a short fascination of Eau Micellaire (micellar water) but Lancôme Galatéis Douceur is more pleasant because of its superior lotion consistence to remove eye make-up.
I usually purchase mine from duty-free shops at airports, and each bottle lasts for quite a couple of months.

Brand: Balea dm drogerie
Category: shower crème
Name: Creme Ol Dusche
Country origin: Germany
Size: 250ml
Price: ca EUR 2
Opinion of the product: It is another lovely product from dm drogerie -Balea brand shower oil with almond scent.
Consistency of this shower crème is a bit like a vanilla pudding: creamy, silky and leaves smooth film on the skin after showering.
It is an excellent product for a dry or normal skin in winter time, when one needs more moisturizing and tends to dry out quicker under heavy jumpers and temperature differences. Lets make sure that we use oils, oil showers and moisturizing products over those cold months. Balea has milk protein and marula nuts oil to help your skin looks better.
