Natural German Specialties: Charlotte Meentzen Cosmetics

I just got back from the UK not too long ago, and when I got home I noticed that my mother had brought me some tester sachets of Charlotte Meenzen creams.  They were all from the product line called Kräutervital, from which I received two active herbal creams, one orchid lotion, one tinted day cream with macadamia nut oil, one lotus cream, and one vitamin day cream, which I've used already.  To view the product description click on the link below, the site can be viewed in English or German:

Today I'm going to review their vitamin day cream.  I tend to avoid day creams just because my skin breaks out very easily.  My skin can be a bit on the oily side and I tend to have some very deep sitting blackheads.  Despite my doubts I was not disappointed with this product, especially since I took the risk of applying it during the summer in Hungary (which can get really hot! 40°C hot in the sun sometimes! but I was so curious I couldn't wait until the weather cooled down a bit :D).  My face did not break out from this product whatsoever.  Even though at first it does seen a bit oily when you apply it, once it has absorbed it almost gives your skin a bit of a matte feeling.  It smells really nice, slightly floral, and its texture is very light, and wouldn't surprise me if it was water-based, you can even apply a little bit of foundation on top.  The cream is white and not tinted, and you don't need much for good coverage.  You only need a small amount to massage evenly into your skin, therefore it is very long-lasting.  One sachet (2.5ml) lasted 3 days!  These products however are quite pricey (as I was told), but in my experience usually really good quality products with higher prices tend to last a lot longer, and in the long run are totally worth their money.

I will be trying the other products in due time, some of them I will only be able to test during the winter months as they are for dry skin, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who suffers from dry skin during the winter.  To sum up I definitely think that this is a product line worth checking out and experimenting with :)!
