Tromborg – Scandinavian Mood

For my birthday I got some incredible presents from my workplace. And the best: I did not even expect to get anything. However, it is apparently custom that everyone with a round birthday is getting something, and when I was asked into what direction I would like the present to go, I of course said: anything beauty would be fine with me.

I was more than delighted to find out what I was actually getting, because (I have to admit this): it was something I would probably not have bought myself: face cream, toner, makeup remover, and perfume from Tromborg.

I was/am always tempted by Scandinavian products as they are known for being quite ecological (aka using very natural ingredients), which leads to less allergy problems for me. And I love their style: very simple, very classy – what is not to like about that, right?

Now even though my birthday is already a few weeks ago I still did not really have the chance to try the products out. As mentioned before I am trying to use up what I have and I do not just want to start using something in between and switch back and forth between several products. I do however promise a little review as soon as I can say more about them.

Which Scandinavian brands do you know? Is there anything out there you would like to try? And if you tried something: what was it and were you satisfied? Let me know, as I am always interested in first-hand information and experiences about products.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask

A couple of days ago I was able to get my hands on the Origins “Drink Up Intensive Mask” after having heard only good things about it from several people.

Especially Anna from “Vivianna Does Make Up” was raving about this one in several of her posts/videos and recently even took it with her on her flight to Florida and applied the mask several times throughout her trip. I loved this idea and will probably do the same on my trip (also to Florida) in November.

I do have “mixed” skin, with oily skin around my nose and chin and more dry areas on my cheeks and my forehead. The dry skin is not flaky dry but just looks very dry (hope that makes sense). It is very hard to describe… So, when I wrinkle my nose for example and my skin has one of its rather dry days, than you can see that in the wrinkled parts – the skin is just very lined and, well…, dry. So I thought I give this mask a try as it helps with dehydration of the skin.

The mask smells amazingly good – somewhat fruity with something else inside, which I was not able to identify yet. But definitely good. I read that quite a few people even use it as a moisturizer though that would be a bit much for my skin I think.

I used it a few days now and my skin loved it. I will keep on testing it from and should I have anything exceptionally good or bad to report I will let you know it right away.

Love, S.
