I've been ordering the Glossybox every month since December 2012 and I must say I'm impressed with the products they've provided so far. The Glossybox in my country works a little bit different. It's not 10,00 $/€ like in the USA or Germany. It's 14,00 + tax. The taxes here are like extreme so lastly it costs 17.99 € I mean not that I not satisfied with the products and the price but I prefer 10,00 over 17,99 :D In this months Glossybox I've got The Glossybox Makeup Bag Da Vinci Shimmer Powder in 05 earth BIOTHERM Blue Therapy Serum Schwarzkopf BC OIL Miracle Volume Amplifier EUCERIN Sun Cream SPF 50+ Kiehl's Powerful-Strenght Line-Reducing Concentrate Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate Till of today I've tried the Da Vinci Shimmer Powder and it made its way into my all time favorite. The Biotherm Serum is amazing. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The Kiehl's Line-Reducing Concentrate and the Eye-Brightner...

We all love chocolate whether it is milk, white or dark.  - But, did you know that chocolate doesn't only suit your gums, but also your skin ;) The cocoa solids in chocolate are excellent for moisturizing, so this mask is the perfect remedy for dry skin. If you're a chocolate lover and you have some to spare, try this Chocolate Face Mask You will need: 1 bar dark chocolate  3 tbsp salt  1 cup milk  In a bowl mix the salt and milk until it desolves. Now melt your chocolate. You can use a double boiler or the microwave, which is more convenient. But be carefull not to burn your chocolate and that can happen quickly. Add the milk-salt mixture to the melted chocolate and stir it together so everything combines. Cool the mixture until it reaches room temperature. When applying the mixture cover yourself with a towel so it doesn't ruin your clothes. Apply to your face with a wooden stick or your hand. Make sure that the mask is not too hot so it doesn't bur...

Today we are going to make a beauty mask for oily/combination skin, which works wonders on my skin! After each use my skin feels so refreshed and clean :) It's the BANANA MASK FOR OILY SKIN If you have ripe bananas you don't want to eat - just try this miracle skin mask 1 banana, preferably ripe 2 tbsp honey An orange or a lemon Mash up the banana and add the honey. If you can, place the mixture into a blender - this will make your mask smooth and creamy. Lastly add a few drops of orange/lemon juice. Apply to your face for 15 minutes before rinsing off with a cool washcloth or a steaming warm washcloth. Follow up with your regular moisturizer. Hope you try it out :) Let me know how it worked on you - I love it :) HERE IS MY YOUTUBE VIDEO:  xoxo Yelena

Ladies I am going to start a series on my blog where I tell you about a few face masks that me and my girlsfriends have tried out and they worked wonders on our skin :) Depending on what skin type you have, you can use several natural ingredients to suit your preferences and make youself glowy and beautiful! You can use all organic products, if you want to, and I recommend to do so, but we all know that those products ofter are a little bit overpriced - so "normal" ingredients will work too :) Many of these ingredients you will find at your home, and if not - they're right at your local supermarket ;) In todays blog post you will learn how to sooth sensitive skin ´   Let's start off with SENSITIVE SKIN: This mask is great for sensitive, chapped and even sunburnt skin. 1 cup natural yogurt ½ cup oatmeal Mix the ingredients together and apply to the skin for 10-15 minutes. Wash the off mask with a washcloth steamed in the...
