Current favorite beauty products and a giveaway

In stressful times most people tend to neglect their beauty needs, but I on the other hand put in some extra effort. Why? Because everything else is nerve-racking as it is, I wouldn’t want to be upset over bad skin or hair as well. So during my exams, which are finally over, I didn’t skimp on my current favorite beauty products and want to share them with you. We’re also giving away one of these products (and also a whole set of the range) to one lucky reader, so read on…

The rather new Lash Architect 4D black lacquer mascara* by L’Oréal is truly wonderful, if you’re into the false lash effect, that is. Which I totally am, especially for stronger and more dramatic looks.

Oh how I love the Awapuhi Wild Ginger series by Paul Mitchell! I got to get to know the brand at an intimate Paul Mitchell event some time ago, when the hairdresser who styled my hair recommended this range to me as I have rather dry hair. I’ve been using every single product of the range for a bit over a month and am absolutely thrilled, especially with this styling treatment oil I use after blow drying or styling my hair with a curling iron to smooth the ends and give it an overall silky shine. Mi-Ji and I are giving away the Awapuhi Wild Ginger set with generously sized products** so you can try the range as well. If you’re interested in winning this set, hop over to our Facebook Fan Page to find out how you can enter the giveaway.

I love reading Into the Gloss, which is my favorite beauty blog. There are some products which are featured a lot on there and the Embryolisse lait-crème concentré is one of these cult products beauty gurus recommend all the time. I’ve been using it for a couple of months and came to the conclusion that my skin loves it most in winter because it is quite rich, and during the other seasons I only use it at night.

*this product was provided to me by L'Oréal Switzerland for consideration on Styleseeking Zurich

** the set we're giving away in cooperation with Paul Mitchell Switzerland includes the following products: Keratin Intensive Treatment, Moisturizing Lather Shampoo, Keratin Cream Rinse, Texturizing Sea Spray, Styling Treatment Oil and a Finishing Spray.

Because when I shop, the world gets better
