Paris Pharmacy Haul

So.. I went to Paris and I just had to swing by City Pharma.

French pharmacies have gotten a lot of attention recent years, and for a good reason! My favorite one is City Pharma on 26 Rue du Four. This place really has the best deals.

I wanted to show you what I bought because I absolutely LOOOVE every single product.
My boyfriend thought I was crazy and bought a lot of things, but honestly I regret not buying more!

Here it is

Let's break it down



Klorane Dry Shampoo

Really the best dry shampoo I've ever tried. No I haven't tried every single one on the market and after trying this. I don't need to

I bought 2 x 150 ml for 12.96 euros.




Créaline H2O

Gentle make-up remover. It's pretty famous in the beauty world and I totally get it. It's so light and a bottle lasts me about 5 months.

I bought this doublepack with 2 x 500 ml for 15.90 euros


Embryolisse Lait Creme

Another classic. It's really good even for dry skin and it works well under make-up. Some cremes I feel are to greasy or too drying but applying this right before your foundation works really well.

I bought this doublepack for 17.89 and after 5 months I'm dangerously close to running out. Why didn't I buy more!!!


Avène Thermal Water

Okay, this may look a bit crazy. I already had the 2 medium sizes and I love these. Really gentle and soothes the skin. I use this for every purpose. To freshen up the skin during the day, to blend my foundation if I'd applied to thick a layer, for setting make-up, after masks to soothe and after shaving or getting laser treatment. The big sizes lasts you a long time and the small ones are so easy to carry in your purse and are a must for your carry-on on flights.

I bought 2 x 300 ml for 9.90 euros and 2 x 50 ml for 3.98 euros.


A-Derma Exomega Cleansing Oil

I love cleansing oils because they don't dry out my skin. This one is super gently (that word is on replay  with my skincare since I have really sensative, dry skin) and it's really leaves your skin feeling fresh.

My one tip is to make sure you use plenty of water to wash it of so you're not let with residue on your skin.
I love that it came with a travel size, I have this in my bathroom and I just refill when it gets empty, so easy.

I bought 2 x 500 ml + a free travel size of 50 ml for 19.99. And this really will last you a loooooong time.


In summery, if you're traveling to Paris, City Pharma is a must on your trip and please ladies don't make the same mistake as I did and just buy what you need right now. Stock up!

My tanning routine

Just wanted to share with you guys my favorite self tan. I've tried ALOT of different products from different brands, and I feel like most of them made my orange! :S

Xen-tan gives you an olive color, so no fear of orange patches on your skin or in your face.

I bought mine from feelunique.com, that's the cheapest site I've found. And they have free worldwide shipping. Pretty amazing.

I have the bottle below and I also bought the glove to apply it with, but I'm not sure if I would recommend that one. I feel like it absorbes too much product, but I've only used the glove once, so that may not be fair for me to judge.

But try it out and I totally recommend feelunique.com if you don't already have another favorite beautysite.

Hope you're enjoying the holidays. Take care

My routine - Cleaning make-up brushes

So.. I washed some of my make-up brushes the other day, and I wanted to show you guys how I wash mine, because I think everybody have their own way of doing it. But of course I forget to take pictures, so today I washed the ones that wasn’t so urgent that they made the cut the other day.

Here they are. Nice and dirty.

I mix dishwashing soap (non perfumed) and some baby oil. I know alot of people use regular hair shampoo, but that’s not anti-bacterial = problem! The baby oil, I mix in to give my babies some love. When I have extra love to give I’ll use conditioner. I use Tresame’s natural without silicone.

The soap mixed with baby oil.

 I wipe the brushes around in the mix to get the product into the hairs. Then I’ll wipes the brushes around in my hand or on the dish, to get the dirt of. I cleanse with a good amount of warm water until the soap is out of the brush If the brushes are particulary dirty wipe them in the mix again and repeat. Make sure there’s not any oil let on the brushes, it will mess up your make-up and possibly brake you out.

After that I’ll line them up to dry. If you have problem with getting the brushes back in shape, check out the Shape N’ Dry from Sigma. 

Hope some of you guys found this helpful. Take care
