Oriflame haul... / Ostud Oriflame'ist...

Eestikeelne tekst allpool.

I ordered quite a lot of products from Oriflame recently :) 
I actually love and have been using some of their products for years but it has been mostly makeup.
This time I wanted to try some hair products which I've never tried from Oriflame before and just some stuff that seemed interesting.

So, here they are with my first impressions :)
Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - this face cleanser is really nice. It foams well and removes almost all of the makeup. Also, though it says to avoid eye area, it doesn't sting or irritate my eyes. I have yet to find out if it breaks me out or the effect it has on my skin but my first impressions are good :)
HairX Volume Boost Dry Shampoo - it does NOTHING! Honestly - nothing except for making my hair smell nice. I will try to use it some more to truly find out if it is as useless as I found after using it once, so I will get back to you on that.
HairX Pure Balance Shampoo for oily hair - well, it's just a regular shampoo that smells really fresh and nice. It doesn't keep my hair clean for more than a day, so I will use it maybe on weekends or so but so far it seems like nothing special.
Milk & Honey Gold Conditioner for shiny & nourished hair - it smells soooooooooo nice, like all of the products from this range! It's an okay conditioner that detangles my hair quite well. I've used it for a few times so I can't really say more than it's just okay.
Sun Zone Self-tanning Body Mist - this is a hit!!! It's a spray bottle and the mist is very fine. If you rub it in properly you will get a nice tan after half a day. It doesn't have the yucky self-tanner smell and the tan is a nice shade, not orange at all :) This will definitely be my helper this summer :)
Discover Sicilian Dream Liquid Hand Soap - well, you always need a soap in the house and I like a bottle with a pump. It smells fresh and citrusy and you need less than half a pump.
Conceal Kit - it has a green cream concealer for anti-redness, a brown contouring cream and a yellow concealer for covering dark under-eye area. I've used the green one on my red spots - not really working out :D and the yellow concealer for my dark circles. It's really concentrated and so far I'm quite impressed :)


Hiljuti tellisin hulga tooteid Oriflame'ist. Mul on oma kindlad lemmikud, mida olen juba aastaid kasutanud ning enamjaolt olen tellinud kosmeetikatooteid.
Sel korral tahtsin proovida juuksehooldust ning veel mõnda huvipakkuvat toodet :)

Olen iga toodet mõne korra kasutanud ning mu esmamulje on siin :)
Optimals Foaming Gel näopuhastusvaht normaalsele/segatüüpi nahale - see vahutab nii mõnusalt ja eemaldab pea kogu meigi. Kuigi pakendil on kiri, et hoiduda tuleks silmaümbruse piirkonnast, pole see siiski mu silmi ärritanud. Proovin seda puhastusvahtu nüüd mõnda aega, et aru saada, kas see mu nahale tõesti sobib kuid esmamulje on väga hea :)
HairX Volume Boost Dry Shampoo kuivšampoon - see lihtsalt ei tee mitte midagi! Juuksed lõhnavad küll hästi aga seni pole ma veel mitte mingisugust efekti näinud. 
HairX Pure Balance šampoon rasustele juustele - imehästi ja virgutavalt lõhnav täiesti tavaline šampoon, mis millegi erilisega silma ei paista. Ka ei hoia see mu juukseid puhtana rohkem kui ühe päeva. Nädalalõppudel võib kasutada küll :)
Milk & Honey Gold juuksepalsam - nagu kõik selle sarja tooted, lõhnab see lihtsalt imeliselt! See on täitsa korralik palsam, mis teeb juuksed kergesti kammitavaks. Kas sel ka mingit lisaefekti on, saan teada peale pikemat katsetamist :)
Sun Zone Self-tanning Body Mist isepäevitav kehasprei - hitt-toode! Pihustub piisavalt peenelt ja korraga täpselt parajalt, ei lõhna tüüpilise isepruunistaja järele ja kui see hoolikalt sisse hõõruda, on poole päeva pärast kena jume nahal. Sellest saab kindlasti minu selle suve truu kaaslane:)
Discover Sicilian Dream Liquid Hand Soap vedelseep - seepi on ju ikka majapidamises vaja. Pumbaga pudel on väga mugav ja korraga kulub ainult väike tilk. Lõhnab tsitruseliselt ja värskelt.
Conceal Kit peitekreemide komplekt - roheline kreem katab punetuse, pruun kreem on mõeldud kontuurimiseks ning kollane tumedate silmaaluste peitmiseks. Rohelist kreemi kasutasin korra punastel punnidel aga ei jäänud tulemusega esialgu rahule. Küll aga on kollane korrektor vägagi tugeva pigmendiga ning peitis mu tumesinised silmaalused päris kenasti ära. Seda osa kasutan kindlasti hea meelega edasi :)

Current favourites... / Hetke lemmikud...

Eestikeelne tekst on allpool

I've been reaching for the same products all the time recently so why not list them all so that maybe you could find something nice to try out for yourself :)

Hair
I recently cut my hair and have a nice layered bob now. Since my hair is very heavy, I am always looking for products that give a LOT of volume.
Now that my hair is shorter, I find that the Shu Uemura Ample Angora Volumizing Light Foam really does lift my roots and gives quite some volume. I apply it on towel-dry hair, concentrating on the roots and blow-dry my hair. When my hair was longer and didn't have layers in, I felt this product didn't have enough power to lift my heavy hair, so that's what you might want to consider. But right now I'm loving and rocking it :)
I use Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume not as a dry shampoo actually :) I spray it in my hair after I've styled and flat-ironed it and it really gives my hair a lot of volume. It looses some of it's hold during the day but running a comb of fingers through my hair, livens it up again, so no need for carrying it around with me :) Plus it keeps my hair fresh on the second day, too ;)
Lips
I forgot to include my MaxFactor lipgloss in shade 35 Lovely Candy in my last Gifts and haul post but it actually was also a gift from the Moekuulutaja team. It's very light milky pink colour that's very glossy. It's not sticky, stays on quite some time, wears off nicely and makes my lips look a lot fuller. 
I wear it on it's own a lot but I love to pair it with Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer in shade 102 Nova. I put MaxFactor under and Rimmel on top of it and this combo looks just so lovely and vibrant and very suitable for spring. I actually use this trick a lot - I put a light gloss under a lipstick and that gives me fuller lips, a nice gloss and the colour is not so heavy. Perfect for daytime and for school/work :)
Makeup
I've rediscovered my Inglot Multicolour System Highlighting powder in shade 85 recently. It gives my face a subtle but really nice glow that's not overpowering. Been loving that as a highlighter a lot lately and been wearing it every day :) (I wrote about it a while ago here)
I totally adore Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadows and I recently got two more colours as a gift. I've been using the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in shade 25 Slate very often. Especially when I'm in a hurry. I don't need a primer with it and it works perfect either as a base or on it's own. It doesn't crease and stays on whole day.
A product I almost forgot about and which I took out from my drawer lately is Giorgio Armani single eyeshadow in shade 66. It a nice matte mauve pink colour that is suitable for daytime. I apply it all over the lid and use a matte brown in the outer v. Wearing it just on it's own makes me look a bit like I've been crying but paired with some darker shade, it's my every day go-to look lately :)
Last but not least - I've been loving my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in shade Mushroom with both of the eyeshadows mentioned above. As you can see on the swatch, it goes with both of them perfectly. It stays put all day and it might even be waterproof :) It's very soft to apply and hasn't irritated my eyes :)

Have you tried any of these products?
:)(:


Viimasel ajal haarab mu käsi pidevalt samade toodete järgi, mis annab põhjust neist lähemalt pajatada :)

Juuksed
Lõikasin hiljuti oma juuksed lühemaks ja järku. Mu juuksed on väga rasked ja kui need õige pisut pikemaks kasvavad, hoiavad need väga peadligi, sestap olen pidevalt juuksejuuri tõstvate ja kohevust andvate toodete otsinguil.
Nüüd kus mu juuksed on veidi lühemad ja kergemad tõstab Shu Uemura Ample Angora Volumizing Light Foam juuksevaht mu juuksejuuri päris korralikult ja annab mõnusalt kohevust juurde.  Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume kuivšampooni kasutan ma tegelikult puhastel juustel pärast seda kui olen juukseid sirgendanud, et neile veelgi rohkem kohevust anda. Ja kohevust saab selle tootega väga palju! Päeva jooksul vajub see küll veidi ära aga kui kammi või sõrmedega juuksejuuri sasida, ärkavad need taas ellu. Lisaks on järgmisel päeval juuksed ikka veel puhtad :)
Huuled
Unustasin oma viimasele Kinkide ja ostude postitusele lisada Moekuulutaja tiimilt saadud MaxFactor huuleläike toonis 35 Lovely Candy. See on väga läikiv piimjas heleroosa huuleläige, mis püsib päris kaua peal, kulub ühtlaselt maha ja muudab mu huuled palju lopsakamaks. Kannan seda nii üksikult kui ka taasavastatud Rimmel Apocalips huulelakiga toonis 102 Nova. Ma kannan huuletele kõigepealt MaxFactorit ja siis selle peale Rimmeli huulelaki ning tulemuseks on ilus kumav ja elav toon, mis on ideaalne kevadsuvisel hooajal.
Makeup
Absoluutselt iga päev viimase kuu või kahe jooksul olen highlighter'ina kandnud Inglot Multicolour System Highlighting powder puudrit toonis 85. See annab mu näole väga ilusa kuma, mis on piisavalt tagasihoidlik, et ma ei näe välja nagu diskopall.
Kui mul on kiire või kui ma lihtsalt ei jaksa väga pikalt oma meigile aega kulutada, kasutan imelist Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow kreemlauvärvi toonis 25 Slate. See sobib nii lauvärvina kui aluskreemina kasutamiseks ning püsib peal kogu pika päeva.
Olin ära unustanud kuid nüüd võtsin jälle kasutusse oma vana lemmiku Giorgio Armani lauvärvi toonis 66. See on matt vanaroosa toon, mida kasutan koos mati pruuniga silma välisnurgas. Kui ma seda lauvärvi ainult üksinda kannan, jääb mulje nagu oleksin nutnud :D Seega tuleb sellele lauvärvile kindlasti tumedama tooniga sügavust juurde anda :)
Hetke lemmik silmapliiats on Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil toonis Mushroom. See sobib ideaalselt mõlema ülelmainitud lauvärviga, see on vaat' et veekindel, püsib peal terve pika päeva ning on piisavalt pehme, et ei ärrita mu silmi.

Seekord siis niimoodi :)
Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?

My 1st iHerb haul / Minu esimene ost iHerb'ist

Eestikeelne tekst on allpool

iHerb is an awesome online shop of organic and healthier stuff where you can find tons of health products such as supplements, herbs, makeup, products for the house, kids, pets, sports etc etc. The awesome thing in addition to that is that they ship worldwide :)

So, of course I had to hop on the wagon and ordered some beauty items. The international airmail shipping I used takes 1-4 weeks and I got my package in less than two weeks.

So, my first picks were - Real Techniques Miracle Complection Sponge ($6 link for ordering), e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder that comes with a tiny brush that is in my opinion too small for the large under eye area($3 link) and Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara ($9.55 link).
iHerb usually puts a little extra in each order so I got myself a little clipper :)

I've already tested the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge and wow! Applying my foundation is so easy and quick that I might even switch from brushes to this one :) It literally takes me about 10-15 seconds to apply all of my foundation. Let's see how I feel about it when I've used it a little more but my first impressions are really good.
Which I can't really say about the e.l.f. Undereye Setting Powder. First, it has sparkles in it. Yes, chunks of sparkles... And though it sets my concealer so it won't crease or move, I feel that my fine lines become more visible. We'll see, how that goes after some time.
I haven't tried the PF mascara yet because I have 2 mascaras in use at the moment, so I'll get back to you with a review on that :)

By the way - iHerb has always a bunch of special offers going on, so for example you can get 20% off on the entire selection of Physician's Formula until 14th of May.
So if you've been wanting to try something from the range I suggest you order it from iHerb.

If you haven't ordered from iHerb before, you can get $5 off your first order if you spend less than $40 or $10 off if you spend more than $40 using a code LWH786.

I already have a bunch of stuff in my shopping cart and even more on my wishlist :D
A little warning - this shop is addictive :D

Disclaimer - not a sponsored post. All opinions are honest and my own :)


iHerb on suur veebipood, mis müüb orgaanilist ja tervislikumat kaupa, sealhulgas kosmeetikat, keha-ja juuksehooldust, toidulisandeid, tooteid kodule, lastele, lemmikloomadele jne jne. Parim asjaolu on see, et iHerb postitab tooteid üle maailma. Mina kasutasin International Airmail'i, mis maksab 4$ ning pakk tuleb kohale 1-4 nädalaga. Minu pakk tuli kohale veidi vähem kui 2 nädalaga. 
P.S. Kui Eestisse tellitud paki maksumus (ilma postikuluta) ületab 21,98€, tuleb maksta tollimaksu.

Tegin veidi aja eest oma esimese tellimuse ning sain mõni päev tagasi oma paki kätte.
Tellisin Real Techniques Miracle Complection Sponge meigisvammi ($6 link), e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder kinnitava puudri silmade alla, millega on kaasas ka tilluke pintsel, mis on minu arvates silmade all kasutamiseks küll liiga väike ($3 link) ja Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara ripsmetušši ($9.55 link). 
iHerb lisab tavaliselt pakile juurde ka väikese kingituse, mina sain lõbusa klambri, mis kindlasti kodus kasutust leiab.

RT meigisvamm jättis ülihea esmamulje - sellega saab väga kiirelt ja mugavalt jumestuskreemi peale kanda ja tulemus jääb ühtlane. Mul kulub kogu näo katmiseks 10-15 sekundit. Ma olen vaimustuses :)
Kahjuks ei saa aga öelda, et e.l.f. puuder oleks mu ootustele vastanud, sest selles on üsna suured sädelevad tükid sees. See küll kinnitab peitepulga ega lase sel päeva jooksul vagudesse koguneda ja liikuda kuid mulle tundub, et mu peened kortsukesed silmade all muutuvad rohkem nähtavaks. Eks katsetan veel ja vaatan, kas saan selle kinnituspuudriga paremaks sõbraks.
Kuna mul on hetkel 2 ripsmetušši kasutuses, ei hakanud PF tušši veel avama aga kui seda teen, annan kindlasti oma muljetest teada.

iHerbis on alati käimas mitu sooduskampaaniat - 14. maini kehtib kogu Physician's Formula kaubavalikule 20% soodustus.
Kui sa pole veel iHerbist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786, saad oma esimeselt ostult 5$ allahindlust kui tellimuse maksumus jääb alla 40 dollari. Kui aga tellid enam kui 40$ eest, saad sama koodi kasutades 10$ allahindlust.

Mul on järgmine tellimus juba komplekteeritud ja soovinimekiri ka päris pikaks veninud.
Hoiatan - see veebipood on sõltuvust tekitav :D

P.S. See ei ole sponsoreeritud postitus. Kõik arvamused ja mõtted on ausad ning isiklikud

Chanel Perfection Lumiere

On a daily basis I use light to medium coverage foundations. But on special occasions when I have to look flawless for a very long time, I reach for my magical  Chanel Perfection Lumiere  Long-wear Flawless Fluid Makeup foundation in 32 Beige Rose.
It's full coverage that hides all imperfections, looks flawless for at least 10 hours, leaves my skin matte, I don't need to touch it up during the day, it doesn't oxidise, has SPF 10 in it and hasn't irritated or broken my skin out.
Sounds awesome, right? Yes, it actually is that awesome :)

Since I'm not very familiar with full coverage foundations, this Chanel one got me intrigued.
Please tell me which are your favourite full coverage foundations?
:)(:


Ma pole senini kuigi palju täiskatvusega jumestuskreeme kasutanud. Käsi haarab ikka kergema koostisega meigipõhja järele ja mind ei häiri ka kui mõni punnike veidi läbi kumab.
Küll aga on iga naise elus olukordi, kus tuleb hommikust õhtuni perfektse jumega tööd teha/esineda/rahvarohkes kohas viibida ning otsisin kreemi, mis selle vajaduse täidaks.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere jumestuskreemi omanikuks sain ma vahetuse käigus - mulle ei sobinud MACi kreem ja sõbrannale tema Chanel. Tegime vahetust ja oi kui rahul ma olen. Minul on see toonis 32 Beige Rose, mis sobib minu kahvatu jumega väga hästi.

Omadused - jumestuskreem katab kõik naha iluvead, püsib veatult vähemalt 10 tundi, see ei vaja kogu päeva jooksul kohendamist, ei muuda värvi (ei oksüdeeru), hoiab naha mati, sisaldab SPF 10, ei ärrita mu nahka ega tekita punnikesi :)
Kõlab ju imeliselt? Seda see jumestuskreem ongi kui välja arvata selle üpris krõbe hind.
Minu jaoks on see tõesti vaid tähtsamate eluhetkede tarbeks kuid muutusin uudishimulikuks ning kindlasti uurin ka taskukohasemaid täiskatvusega jumestuskreemide variante.

Milline on sinu lemmik  full coverage  jumestuskreem?
