ORIENT EXPRESS

something new!

“Orient Express is a working person’s cafe on Badaro Main, serving specialty coffee, veggie salads and gourmet sandwiches to the tasteful crowd of Beirut. Open early morning till late evening during the week in a relaxed atmosphere, the café turns into a more upbeat gathering place on Friday and Saturday night. Held by a few young passionates, this no-frills place will draw smiles on more that a few faces.”

this is to my lebanese and travelling friends – stop at the ORIENT EXPRESS in Beirut and grab a bite and say hi to the owner!

SOMETHING NEW

Kérastase Discipline

Bain Fluidealiste 250ml/ 29 CHF
Fondant Fluidealiste 200ml/ 41 CHF
Fluidissime 150ml/ 39 CHF

my new favorite shampoo and conditioner – bain Fluidealiste and fondant Fluidealiste – make my hair very smooth and silky. I use them both every time I wash my rather dry and color-treated hair, which is about every second or third day. I have not used the Fluidissime styling that often yet but it claims to protect the hair up to 230°C – wow, freaking hot!

here you can find the impressions of the Kérastase Event in Zurich

so simple and so nice – klybeck. I met Baptiste at the designbox fair in Basel where we were neighbours with our booths. we exchanged email addresses and also saw eachother at the blickfang where he showed his work. there were so many people at the blickfang that I really had a hard time taking photos but I really wanted to show you his awesome work and asked him to send me some photos and answer me 3 questions. he did – and now I can show you! sharing is caring, right?

1.when did you start klybeck?
in the beginning of 2014

2. what kind of material do you use?
solid wood (oak, ash, american walnut) foot: steel (painted black)

IN THE SHOWER

in-shower is the new thing! I have tested the NIVEA in-shower lotions and milks and I got totally hooked. in winter I am feeling too cold to apply lotion and in summer I m too hot – so when I discovered these products I knew that this was exactly my thing.

so how to use it? first you use your normal showergel or creme or whatever you use to wash your body. once you are clean you can apply the in-shower lotion. make sure not to drop any product as it can be very slippery – so be aware! the in-shower body lotions are like a conditioner. you apply it once the body is clean and then rinse it off and ready you are. my skin is very dry and thats why I like the in-shower body milk (darkblue) the best.

what about you? have you tried them yet?

SOMETHING NEW for MEN

Cristian was so nice to try the CLINIQUE for men collection and will tell us how he liked the products. So the first four products we are going to introduce are: #exfoliating tonic #aloe shave gel #moisturizing lotion #post-shave soother – I already updated the MEN page on isawsomethingnice.ch – have a look! http://isawsomethingnice.ch/men

exfoliating tonic

Q: how did you use it?

always after the face wash with a cotton pad. I dont like the cotton pads because they always stick to my facial hair. I will try to use kleenex in the future.

Q: what did you like about it?
– tingles nicely
– it feels very clean and sanitized

Q:what did you dislike about it?
– smell or better said lack of fragrance

aloe shaving cream

Q: how did you use it?

after I cleaned my face and used the exfoliating tonic I used the aloe shaving cream. its one of my favorite products because it makes shaving very easy.

Q: what did you like about it?
– easy to use

Q:what did you dislike about it?
– nothing

moisturizing lotion

Q: how did you use it?

after the exfoliating tonic I use the moisturizing lotion. or when I shave I use it after shaving and after using the post shave soother.

Q: what did you like about it?
– nice sensation after shaving
– makes my skin soft

Q:what did you dislike about it?
– nothing

post shave soother

Q: how did you use it?

I used it directly after shaving.

Q: what did you like about it?
– refreshes

Q:what did you dislike about it?
– smell or better said lack of fragrance

stay tuned for the next review where we will show you more products of the CLINIQUE for Men collection.  thank you Cristian you are an amazing product tester! xx

WHATS ON MY TRAY?

I asked my gorgeous friend Zaira what kind of products she would pick out for me from my makeup collection. so thats what she picked out to use on me.

I asked her why?

Z:the combination of your hair color was shouting at me to do your eyes that orange color. You have this warm tanned skin which describes these tones of both the eyes and lipstick. I wanted to have more dominant eyes so that it will not fade away with the lighter tones.”

I am very happy with the look and was surprised and amused to see my catrice blush being used as an eyeshadow, but why not! It looks stunning! so again my favorite quote “there are no limits – mix and match!” works!
