NEW WILD ARGAN OIL RANGE FROM THE BODY SHOP!
 |
| The complete Wild Argan Oil range
I really didn´t see this coming! I haven´t read or heard anything about the "Wild Argan Oil" range so it was quite a surprise when I saw a pic about it on Icelandic Facebook Page of The Body Shop.
Of course I had to check it out immediately (haha)! It smells sooooo good and it´s not expensive compared to other products at The Body Shop. Actually the 'Wild Argan' Body Butter has the same price tag as any other body butters at the store even though argan oil is quite an expensive ingredient. The complete range includes Body Butter, Body Scrub, Shower Gel, Pressed Argan Oil, Bubble Bath Melt, Argan Oil (Spray?), Massage Soap. Sorry if I haven´t written the names correctly but because this is a completely NEW range, I haven´t find any informations or reviews on the internet and I haven´t bought the whole Argain Oil collection (yet) :D
Here are the products I bought:
I haven´t had a body butter for ages, because I´m using The Body Shop´s Body Lotions but if my skin gets dry, this is gonna be the perfect product to use :) and because I love "matchy" shower gel and body lotion/butter I just "had to" by the Wild Argan Oil Shower Gel too :)
I literally can´t wait to jump in a shower and try out these gorgeous products! :)

BEAUTY RESTOCK #1
There are some products I'm loving so much and using a lot, so I need to have them all the time. Usually as soon as I finish something, I'm not buying the exact same product again because I would like to try new ones, but as you can see on the picture I have a couple of things I'm just obsessed with.
1-2. Neutrogena - Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub & Facial Wash (I wrote about these products before on my blog --> HERE!

3. The Body Shop - Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover
The best eye make-up remover I've ever tried and believe me I've tried sooo many different type of removers before and much more expensive ones. This make-up remover is gentle, doesn't irritate my eyes at all, doesn't smell like alcohol and just does a great job.

4. Maybelline - Brow Drama (Sculpting Brow Mascara) in the shade 'medium brown'
I love this formula! You can fix your brows in 30 seconds perfectly. It works very well for me and it has a very good price :)

5. Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35
This is the best BB cream in my opinion although I've tried many, but in the end I'm always coming back to the Bobbi Brown one. I have the shade 'Fair' and it matches with my skin tone perfectly. It covers so well, it's almost like a foundation. I'm very lucky with my skin so this BB Cream is enough for me to cover any redness on my face and it lasts all day long! This BB cream is my everyday make-up product.

6. Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream (enriched mineral water & aloe vera)
This is my first eye-cream ever. I've started to use eye-cream 2 years ago right after my 25th birthday. I've just needed something light, hydrating cream which leaves my eye-area soft and refreshed.

7. EOS Hand Lotion
I love hand creams and I always carry 1 or 2 tubes in my handbag :) This is a new discovery for me. I fall in love with the packaging because it's so practical. Otherwise it smells delicious, 97% natural ingredients and it's paraben-free.

MY TOP 5 RESTAURANTS IN REYKJAVÍK, ICELAND
I´m a very picky eater so it´s quite hard for me to find places where I can actually eat. (I´m driving my friends and family crazy,haha) I´m really not into fancy restaurants either, they make me feel very uncomfortable. I don´t know why, but this is the way it is.
4. PRIKIÐ is more like a bar than a restaurant but you can find some good meals there and the prices are ridiculously low compared to the average price at the city center.
Read More
My boyfriend (Daniel) and my brother (Csaba) are working as chefs in Reykjavík, so they are recommending me very good meals according to my taste :) When I was scrolling down on my phone for food photos, it made me realised how many restaurant I´ve actually tried during the last couple of month. Here are some pictures about my favourite meals and restaurants. Enjoy!
1. SUSHI SAMBA - I would say it´s a MUST for sushi lovers! The best sushi you can get in Reykjavík in my opinion. The restaurant is located downtown. I went 3 times already in a very short period of time :)

| "Aspas Tempura" sushi roll - Sushi Samba
2. VITABAR - Another MUST! They have the best burgers in town. No joke. Vitabar is located just 3 minutes walk from Laugavegur,the main shopping street. ps. Their steak is delicious too!
|
 | ||||
| "Óstborgaratilboð" - Vitabar
3. SNAPS BISTRO-BAR - One of the best restaurants in Reykjavík. I´m addicted to their fish of the day and pancakes but let the pictures talk... :)
 'Pancakes & Coffee Latte' - Snaps |

 |
| 'Steak bernaise' - Snaps |
 |
| 'MR bagel, sweet fries and a five dollar milkshake' - Prikið
5. THE LAUNDROMAT CAFE - I´ve used to go there a lot but the prices went up quite a bit lately. The atmosphere is still unique and the food is good! I love their smoothies :)
'Pancakes and a smoothie' - The Laundromat Coffee
Of course I could go on with my list, but these are my top 5! I´m also gonna do a list soon about my favourite cofee places! Stay tuned! :)
Until next time,

A 'MINI' BODY SHOP HAUL
As I wrote yesterday, there's been 20% OFF at The Body Shop in Kringlan so I just 'had to' visit the store and I've got some goodies I would like to share with you.
1. Vineyard Peach Body Lotion (Limited Edition) - I'm currently using the Blueberry Body Lotion and there's a tiny bit left at the bottom of the bottle so I really wanted to buy a new one. I bought last month the Vineyard Peach Shower Gel and it smells heavenly!!! I'm pretty sad it's a LIMITED EDITION range and it's sold out in Iceland. So that's why I got the body lotion instead. I think this bottle with the pump is very practical. I like the body lotion even more than the body butter. The texture of the lotion is more creamy and again I love that it comes with a pump. As I got to know today the body butter hydratates your skin for 24 hours and the lotion is for 12 hours. I don't have a very dry skin so especially for the summer I don't mind the difference.
2. Blueberry Shower Gel (Limited Edition) - I've already bought this one once before and it smells amazing (like almost everything at The Body Shop, haha). I've got the Blueberry Body Lotion so it's the perfect combination.
3. Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash (60 ml) - May be it's sound weird but I'm gonna use this product to clean my make up brushes. I've got the idea actually today from The Body Shop's UK YouTube channel that they are using this facial wash to clean make up brushes. Of course you can also use shampoo for example but I would like to give this a try. It's quite handy because you can buy travel size (like I did) so it's actually not expensive.
HERE you can see a great video about how can you clean your brushes! :)
4. Bath Gloves - I've never tried this one before but it says on the label 'use with shower gel on exfoliation'. Let's see how it goes :)
5. Organic Cotton Pads - Amazing stuff! I know many people are thinking "why would I spend more money on cotton pads when I can buy much cheaper at Bonus?" but for me The Body Shop Cotton Pads are worth every extra penny. They are very soft, organic, and also I can use only one pad to remove my make up while I have to use at least 3 of the Euroshopper kind. So they last much longer. I'm using the Body Shop ones on a daily basis for removing make up, for cleansing etc...
As you can see I'm quite a big Body Shop fan :)
Until next time,
Eva

NEW Neutrogena products in Iceland!
My favourites are the Visible Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash and the Daily Scrub. I´m using them every single day. I´ve bought quite a few when I went last time to Hungary just to make sure I always have some on my bathroom shelf but now they are avalaible in Iceland too! You can get them in a good price (ca.1500 ISK).
