Katrin Roth has hit the dream job jackpot: as a professional tester for everything that makes you beautiful and even more beautiful, the journalist blogs for Annabelle, Switzerland's biggest fashion and beauty magazine. Pretty, clever, funny, successful and professionally informed about all products - of course we wanted to know Katrin's personal organic beauty must-haves!

 

Must Have 1: Intelligent Nutrients facial care

Katrin Roth: "Love it! The whole package, because the facial care products from Intelligent Nutrients (here) are in hygienic dispensers, beautifully designed, the fragrance is heavenly and the textures are perfect! I can also rely on the quality of the products from Mister Aveda - pure nature says the USDA certification."

 

Must Have 2: Intelligent Nutrients Leave-In Conditioner

 

Katrin Roth: "I love the leave-in conditioner from Intelligent Nutrients - especially the scent: spicy, chunky - I like! And my hair too..."

 

Must Have 3: RMS Illuminisor and Beauty Oil

 

Katrin Roth: "I have no idea how make-up artist Rose-Marie Swift does it, but the Illuminiser achieves the seemingly impossible by giving me a rested, rested face with that very special glow in just a few seconds. The beauty oil for the face is luxury for me! Pure coconut oil - and that's an absolute must-have for me - but this one is just so fantastically vanilla-scented."

 

Must Have 4: Nail polish from Essie, Chanel, YSL, Dior... 

 

Katrin Roth: "Ever since lovely Anna told me that the traditional nail polish houses are "five free", I've been in nail polish bliss. "Sugar Daddy" by Essie is my all-time favourite, otherwise it can be a bit more colourful..."

 

Must Have 5: Nail polish remover from Priti NYC

Katrin Roth: "This nail polish remover not only smells good, but the nails don't feel stressed after using it, they feel really well cared for. My favourite: the individual remover wipes for on the go."

 

Must Have 6: Body oils from max and me

Katrin Roth: "Anyone who reads my blog knows the Background to this story - at max and me (here) are the best oils I've ever had. Honestly!"

 

Must have 7: Coconut oil - the all-rounder

Katrin Roth: "For removing make-up, as a body lotion, for nail care, hair tip care, salad dressing - coconut oil (here) is my absolute beauty hero and I'm not just saying that because top model Miranda Kerr swears by it!"

 

Must Have 8: Benecos Rouge in Mallow Rose

Katrin Roth: "Powder pink with blue undertones for a fresh complexion under CHF 10? A Must!”

 

Must Have 9: Deodorant cream from Soapwalla

Katrin Roth: "The deodorant cream from Soapwalla (here) has proven itself in numerous endurance tests and is the only alternative to conventional deodorants for me."

 

Must Have 10: Face sponges made from Konjac

 

Katrin Roth: "It's amazing how well such a small item can remove dirt, sebum, make-up and everything else that accumulates on my skin!"

Bonus must-haves: Matcha Latte To Go and Dr Alkaitis eye cream

Katrin Roth: "Matcha (here) is a healthy alternative to my much-loved coffee. And rumour has it that Dr Alkaitis' eye cream has also won over Gisèle Bündchen, which I can totally understand, because the cream smells fantastic, is rich but not overpowering and, honestly, it's actually useful!"
