Dr. Organic Vitamin E Scar & Stretch mark serum
I bought this Serum quite a while ago, because I figured I needed a serum for that extra hydration etc. Why not use extra cream against scarring with it since I get lotsa scars due to annoying pimples (but it has improved really well lately, but I don't know why.)
If you didn't know yet, Dr. Organic is Paraben free, SLS free and it doesn't contain artificial colours, fragrances or harsh preservatives. And Dr. Organic doesn't test on animals.
What does it promise? Well, this serum claims to be:
- Hydrating
- Restoring
- Regenerating
- Protecting
And it's naturally moisturising. Here's what it says on the back of the box:
In combination with a complex proprietary blend of bioactive, natural and organic ingredients including Demochlerra DP (tested for use on scars and stretch marks), this podent restoring and hydrating cream absorbs into the effected epidermal subcutaneous cell matrix to instantly nourish and regenerate, restoring the skins natural moisture levels to give scars and stretch marks a smoother more tonned and radiant appearance.
This serum contains the bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Juice, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Lotus Flower Extract, Chlorella Extract, Beeswax, Lemon Peel Oil (lemon smell? :)) Amino Acid Complex, Lemon Grass Oil, Elemi Oil, Liquorice Extract and Green Tea (Onomnom)
This serum contains the bioactive, natural and organic ingredients: Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Juice, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Lotus Flower Extract, Chlorella Extract, Beeswax, Lemon Peel Oil (lemon smell? :)) Amino Acid Complex, Lemon Grass Oil, Elemi Oil, Liquorice Extract and Green Tea (Onomnom)
I don't know all the effects of all these ingredients. I only know Vitamin E helps restoring skin tissue (or something in that direction) Aloe Vera is cooling (but it doesn't necessarily cool my skin) and Shea Butter can moisturise your skin (correct me if I'm wrong >_<)
 |
| Awesome picture taking skills =-= |
My opinion:
The texture is not like any other serums, usually a serum is liquid (almost liquid) and this is more like a cream.
I think this serum works really well: it leaves my skin soft and hydrated. I also noticed my scars started fading after a while, so it does fade the scars =) I LOVE the smell, it smells like lemons, nice and fresh =)
I always use this serum in combination with my other Dr. Organic cream. I think this one smells nicer but I guess that's personal opinion (I like lemon smell ^^)
You really don't need a lot of cream. I usually use about a pea size, bit more. Your skin absorbs the cream quite fast, which is absolutely a pro.
The serum definitely lightens scars, I've been using it for quite a while and I paid extra attention to some scars on my face, and I noticed they're gone!
I'm very positive about this serum in a sense of it being a cream, but I don't know if other (more liquid and intense) serum will be better.
Something for you if:
- You are looking for an all organic serum
- You have sensitive skin and you can't use other serums (which I doubt)
- You like serums smelling of lemon
- Lighten your scars.
Skip it if:
- You think £8.19 is too expensive for a 50 ml tube of serum
- You want a FAST lightening cream. This lightening process is not very fast so...
Not many negative points... I must say I've never tried any other scar lightening creams/oils. And I don't know if Bio-Oil works better for scars so maybe you should do some more research on that. I'd say, if you want to have it more expensive just go for Bio-Oil and if not, go for something from Dr. Organic! Or just anything with Vitamin E oil. (or just pure vitamin E oil =))
I hope this review was somewhere useful... I'm a sucker I know >_< Sorry! I forgot the price but I searched it on Google and found that it was £8.19 pounds on Holland and Barrett (also it has a buy one get one for half the price) so... This is your chance if you want to try.
Yes I'm rambling about everything... sorry... Now it's study time again... So proud of myself blogging 4 days straight xd yes it's very hard for me,,,

Purchased stuff Cambridge
Onto the REAL Haul now ^^ Finally 
So starting off with my Primark purchases. When I saw these shorts I was like: "OMG, I NEED THESE!" But then the size issues came, I couldn't find a UK size 8 >_<! But luckily a friend of mine found size 8 (which is actually still a bit big... but these shorts were just amazing I had to have it and it's not like it's way and WAY to big ^^. I've been looking for high-waisted shorts for quite a while (still looking for more, I think I'm hooked!) and these were just perfect ^^ the buttons are also very pretty. I remember the shorts being £10.00
 |
| Perfect high-waisted shorts? |
 |
| I like the buttons ^^. Sorry for the fuzzy picture >_< |
 |
| Cute~! |
When I saw this cardigan I just fell in love with the hearts <3 it's not just your ordinary grey cardigan, no it also has cute hearts in different colours.
I bought a couple of sizes bigger because I like oversized cardigans (it's not a drama when you buy cardigans a bit bigger I think) and because I practically ran away with this one (when I went to look for the price, because this one didn't have a price tag I couldn't find it anymore so I guess this was the last one?) I think it cost £12.00 or so? Between £12.00 and £15.00?

I think it cost £12.00 or so? Between £12.00 and £15.00?I also bought over-knee socks, but I forgot to take pictures of them so yeah. Anyway, I'm wearing them in my OOTD which I posted yesterday so take a look there if you want. If not, I'll try to describe it: They were one size, but I figured since I'm so tiny they'll definitely be over-knee (I've been wanting to have over-knee socks, because the knee high were too short in my personal opinion,,, I expected them to be over-knee when they weren't) the colour is grey and it has small bows all over the socks.
I also bought this nail polish. I've been wanting to buy a Coral colour for quite a while and now I have it and I loveee it =) I think the price was £3.00 but I'm not sure anymore >_<
 |
| Bad picture >_< Sorry! |
And last but not least I have bought a Cambridge sweater in Light Blue. It's sort of a tradition in our school to buy a Cambridge sweater when going to Cambridge so, of course I had to have one as well! It's so nice and warm and comfy. They have a lot of colours but I already knew I would want something Violet or Light Blue and so I went for Light Blue. At first I tried on the XS (since I'm tiny) but my head was too big and I had a hard time putting out my sweater >_<. I was afraid I had the same problem with the S but I have a good method now and I don't have any problems. Luckily the S doesn't look too big on me. It's oversized but not that much. I bought the sweater on the market, because the teachers said it's cheaper there, but later I found a shop where it was cheaper (£15.00) The sweater on the market cost £20.00.
Yay for me who has done 3 straight days of blogging. I drafted a lot, so that's probably why =) I'm sure that I won't be able to keep this up anymore. Especially with a test week in 2 weeks. I know I'm going to pass my 3rd year, but yeah... Parents always have their expectations and I must say: I will be bothered if I don't do well in some subjects...
I think next week is going to be a peaceful week, or at least I hope... I'm going to make a present for my sister, I'm afraid I'm running out of time so maybe I should spend my free time on that...? Maybe not a lot of blogging anyway =((?
Argh, gotta do homework now, actually... Stop procrastinating...
xxx
PS. I hope when it's summer holiday I have the motivation to create my own layout and create a new banner (this one sucks and the layout looks a bit childish weird,,, idk) so yeah... bear with it for a while >_<????

My trip to Cambridge~
I'm ashamed... I haven't blogged in almost 2 months! *hits herself* Shame Shame Shame... That's way and way too long, I know. But now I'm trying to get back on track again. I have many hauls to do, but it'd be boring if I'd only blog about hauls, so I'm going to try and bring in some variety. There are also some reviews coming up =) Anyway, moving on...
My school organises a trip to Cambridge for all the bilingual students every year. And then we go for 5 days with the 2 bilingual classes. This year it was my turn =D Yeahhh! We did have to go to school in the morning (which was a new experience but also kinda boring sometimes =-=" but yeah..) and in the afternoon we could go shopping and in the evening we had some activities.
The first day me and my friends got lost many times >_< Yes, I'm a n00b in roads... But I blame the buses!
In the evening we went bowling in the Cambridge Leisure Centre. I came in 2nd place with my friend. (But I could've been 2nd place on my own >_< ! ARgh if only I didn't miss my target...) Anyway, after the bowling we could go into the "gambling" section. I didn't waste my money on that~ luckily. One of my friends got a very cute Yoshi cuddly toy (stuffed animal?) using the grab machine thingy. The Toad also looked very cute, only his head was too heavy, so it was practically impossible for us to get Toad out =( Bummer...
Students from my class loved the Air Hockey section xd lol, so much fun! Students VS. Teachers
.
The 2nd day me & friends rushed to the Primark. I'll show my purchases down below. We had to catch the movie quite early (movie was in Cambridge Leisure Centre), in fact we were late and at first we weren't allowed to go in anymore, but the teachers got the boss and we managed to get in. We could choose between 2 movies: Water for Elephants and Thor in 3D. I wished I had chosen for Thor, because... Seriously... I thought Water for Elephants sucked >_< There was too much violence (it became quite annoying in the end) and I thought it was kinda weird...
Afterwards some went to the gambling part again. Me & friends who stayed at the same host family figured we'd take an 'early' bus "home" but in the end it was still quite late by the time the bus finally came >_<.
The 3rd day was our "day off" (at least the morning was free of activities) (we could sleep in a little) and on the 3rd day I bought my Cambridge sweater (tradition!) and had Starbucks Frap (nomnomnomnom) I visited Poundland xd lol, but didn't buy anything. In the afternoon we had to visit, ultra-boring museums. *sigh* and afterwards we went Punting. Yay for me who (in the end) was able to punt ^^ with a bit of practice you can manage. Though it caused lotsa muscle pain in my arms >_< arm flab. The evening was free, and an opportunity to eat at our host family. Eating chips (French Fries) >_< arrr.
On the 4th day we had Formal dinner at St. Catharines. The food was OK, not delicious, not gross (even though most people thought the food was gross).
The 5th day we still had 1 lesson and we received our certificate. And we left Cambridge between 13.30 and 14.00 I think. Being home felt kinda sad because I loved Cambridge, but home is always good I guess ^^.
Yes I'm trying to keep up the blog, and when you start again the ideas keep coming and coming. But working out the ideas can be very time lurking >_< and I've been very busy lately, there was a period when I had 1 test a day and I feel like the past couple of months have been about working out only >_< I've been quite active in one way and lazy in the other way.
I've been failing my toning workout part. But I've started running/jogging for 45 min. every morning (=> resulting in getting up at 5.35) some days I'm just too tired to do anything... and sometimes I just skip running but I try to run as much as possible, otherwise I'll never lose weight and get the "dream-body" as to say...
Maybe I should work more in the weekends at midnight xd... Or should I get more sleep~!
xoxo Stay well

Heavenly soap~
First of all, Happy Easter~ I'm a bit late, but whatever~
Moving on to the soap, something I bought quite a while ago... but I just have to blog about it. This amazing Nivea soap =)
OK, I admit, it's lame to look at an empty package :') and the pictures are quite a fail =( boo. I tried..?
Anyway, when my sister and me saw this in store we were both like: "hmm, sounds so delicious" (and it was friggin cheap! €1.00 =D) and when we got home and we opened the package: "IT IS FRIGGING DELICIOUS!) So happy we bought it.
The soap looks soooo sweet pink and the passion fruit smell is so nice and sweet... YUM YUM I can finally smell nice xd LOL. And the good thing is: I'm not allergic (Hooray!) so girls with sensitive skin... Try it out if you're in for sweet soap.
I don't really know if it's still available... (why the hell am I blogging about it) since I bought it with reduction.. so keep searching and see if you can get it for a good price (if you want to have it)
I also saw it in the scent: Green tea and cucumber. But I'm not a super fan of cucumber smell and I think it's more for a "cooling" effect so we didn't buy that one.
Going off-topic now... Since yesterday I'm trying to run for at least 30 mins. a day at a very slow speed, because I absolutely DON'T want anymore muscle >_< that would be one of my biggest terrors. I also want to buy a jumping rope so I can rope jump in between to burn some extra calories. (and when I go to Cambridge I can easily take it with me to keep myself "in shape") so yeah... I know I should be patient, but I'm not, I'm depressed if I don't see results fast, but I have to wait. I know it... nothing will happen that fast, especially losing fat >_< muahua wait till my fat is gone and you see my super-abs (not)
Hopefully I can blog a lot this week,,, but next week and the week after will be a bit difficult since I'll be going to Paris next week (Yay) and to Cambridge the week after >_< (Lotsa fun~!) so I have to see if I pre-write some things and automatically post it. Or type some things on daddy's newly bought iPad =)
xoxo
Argh why did I decide to "lose fat" when it's Easter and everywhere I look there are chocolate eggs and delicious Oishi food >_< aaaaaaaaaahhh

Random picture update (new haircut, blabber)
Hey guys, no time no blog =( I've been very ultimately absolutely extremely busy >_< bear with me! I don't know what to update, I don't really have time to really write a review >_< so I'll just blabber away in depression~ because I have test week...
*sigh* I'm tired... Stayed up way too long studying for my Biology test and the day before yesterday as well, for my French test... Oh gosh, I need to organise. My room is a mess, need to clean that up this weekend maybe..? Which reminds me,,, this weekend is Easter =) Yay, Monday I have the day off...
Anyway,,, Just some pictures to fill in the empty space. Ah which reminds me,, (again xd?) I cut my hair =) like... finally. I'm so glad I lost some of its length, because it really started to get too long and we all know long hair does need care and sometimes I'm just too lazy or in a hurry and I don't have time to care for my hair O.O (long sentence) so yeah... enjoy pics..? Though I'm far from begin photogenic and have an evil demonic smile that doesn't look cute at all (>_<)

Though I'm far from begin photogenic and have an evil demonic smile that doesn't look cute at all (>_<)
So this was before... as you can see it is.. shapeless, frizzy and way too long (bangs,,, can't see they're bangs)
And this is the result. I would've wanted my hairdresser to cut more layers... but I think she was in a hurry and my hair already was such a pain in the bum (all tangled...) so yeah... bummer no layers, because layers do "lighten" the weight of your hair right? Correct me? Anyway, my hair is way too heavy, so maybe layers could help..?
So I've kinda failed on blogging lately... I'm a huge procrastinator and I kept telling myself: "now I'll blog" and then I do something else and many other things suddenly come up >.< Can't manage. How the hell can people manage,,, teach me! I had so many tests for the last weeks. And if it wasn't a test it was homework T-T I still had to catch up after.
Time to finish this post... let's end it with a pic, taken with the Jane Norman hat from my last haul
Evill...!
Take care~! and I need to study again T-T
xoxo Thanks for anyone out there who's supporting me~! (Is there anyone xd lol)

Haul time again~
Hiya guys, I'm back >.< I quickly want to get started with my haul time and I'll blabber afterwards, okay? *wink* *wink*
Anyway, it's not that much, in my opinion, but I do feel like it's worth showing =) On to my first item...
Next items are bought quite a while ago, but still worth showing? =D
Anyway, it's not that much, in my opinion, but I do feel like it's worth showing =) On to my first item...
The Body Shop Facial Cleanser in Passion Fruit. Smells absolutely YUMMY! The packaging is made from recycled plastic, so yay! I don't know how much it cost... I forgot. It was either €5.00 or €8.00 I know quite the difference but I just forgot =') and also I didn't buy it in a regular store but in outlet, so there's a possibility that the price will differ.
Up next are....
Shoes!! =) Was so happy with these. Though the heel is not super high, they're still very cute and elegant, in my opinion. Real leather and that's why the price was quite high... Uhm... €79.00 (I think) in outlet, though. But they fit so well and they are so elegant~! Me likes! Shoes were from Salamander, not sure in which countries there are Salamander stores but I do know they are in Germany, but yeah.. they were outlet anyway so... Btw, excuse me for the light pictures... they were taken with flash >.<.. late at night
Next is this cute hat from the brand Jane Norman (bought at V&D, Dutch warehouse). The tag says it's a doggy hat but I don't know what kind of animal it actually is... xd lol. Original price was €13.00 but I bought it for €9.00. Cute, right~! Jane Norman is also available in the UK (I think, since the tag also displays pounds) and has a website http://www.janenorman.com but I personally think most of the items are quite expensive...
Next items are bought quite a while ago, but still worth showing? =D
More Dr. Organic =D YAYAYAYA. I've been looking for a serum and when I found this I was like... BUY! Review will be coming up ;) just so you know. I forgot the price ;$ shame on me...
And last up a Yes to Tomatoes cleanser... this was when I still needed a cleanser so I bought this (didn't buy The Body Shop one yet...) I also forgot the price >.< was quite long ago so...
Anyway,,, I'm lazy... and I need to do homework so I'll end it here >.<
xoxo
