The "Me time" TAG

Today I made myself a huge cup of chai latte, lit a scented candle, curled up on my sofa and started watching my YouTube subscriptions.

I discovered this "Me time" TAG and thought why not share it with you guys to cheer you up or remind you to take a little quality time just for yourself :)

So, the TAG questions are:

1) What do you watch or read during me-time? - I usually watch my Youtube subscriptions, a romantic comedy or read beauty-related blogs :)
2) What do you wear during me-time? - I always wear comfy loose sweatpants, a soft jumper and big woollen socks :)
3) What are your me-time beauty products? - I wash my face with Clarisonic and put on a face mask. My current favourite is Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. Then I use a rich eye-cream, a serum for face and Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant on my lips.
4) Current favourite nail polish?  - It's always Essie Merino Cool :)
5) What do you eat/drink during me-time? - I usually make myself a pot of chai latte which is my most favourite drink (after coffee, of course :D) and once in a while have a glass of red wine (preferably merlot). I'm not a big snack person :)
6) Current favourite candle? - I prefer vanilla scented candles the most.
7) Do you ever have outdoor me-time? - I have a favourite spot by the sea where I go and sit with a cup of coffee to clear my head or go out on a beauty shopping trip :D
8) Would you ever go see a movie alone? - I almost always go to the movies alone because I prefer it that way :)
9) Favourite online shop? - iHerb, Levelzone and Next.
10) Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time? - Paint my nails, sleep, read a good book and call friends I haven't talked to in a while :)

Istusin täna peale tööd diivanile, nina all suur aurav tass chai lattega ning asusin vaatama Youtube'i.
Avastasin selle "Kvaliteetaeg iseendale" küsimustiku, mille samuti ära täidan.
Olgu see siis meile meeldetuletuseks, et iseendale tuleb kindlasti vahetevahel aega võtta :)

Küsimused on järgmised:
1) Mida sa vaatad või loed "oma ajal"? - Enamasti vaatan üle Youtube blogijate videod, keda jälgin, vaatan mõnd romantilist komöödiat ja/või loen blogisid :)
2) Mis sul sel ajal seljas on? - Lohvakad püksid, soe pusa ja villased sokid :)
3) Milliseid ilutooteid kasutad? - Pesen näo Clarisonicuga, teen näomaski (hetke lemmik on Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque), kannan silmaümbrusse rikkalikult niisutavat kreemi, näole seerumit ning huultele Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant kreemi.
4) Hetke lemmik küünelakk? - Ikka ja alati on selleks Essie Merino Cool :)
5) Mida sööd või jood? - Enamasti keedan endale suure kannu chai lattet või luban endale klaasi punast veini. Suur snäkitaja ma ei ole, seega piirdun joodavaga :)
6) Hetke lemmik küünal? - Mul algab küünalde põletamise hooaeg 1. septembril ning lõppeb umbes 31.märtsil. Kõige rohkem põletan kodus vaniljelõhnalisi küünlaid :)
7) Kas veedad kunagi "oma aega" õues? - Mul on Pirital üks mereäärne salakoht, kus käin suure kohvitopsiga istumas kui vajan aega mõtteid klaarida. Alati teeb ka ilutoodete šoping meele rõõmsaks :)
8) Kas käid kunagi üksinda kinos? - Ma eelistangi enamasti üksinda kinos käia :)
9) Lemmik veebipood? - iHerb, Levelzone ja Next.
10) Mida veel teed? - Lakin küüsi, magan, loen head raamatut või helistan sõpradele, kellega pole muidu olnud mahti lobiseda :)

In search of a new perfume

I am slowly emptying my perfumes and although I have my top 5 favourite perfumes, I'd like to find something new and exciting.

I've collected a huge pile of perfume samples over the time and I keep them in this little pouch.

I randomly picked out five and tested each one for a day.

 

 

So, I picked out Love, Chloe, Rochas Eau Sensuelle, Kiehl's Original Musk, Jeanne Lanvin Couture and YSL Manifesto.

Love, Chloe (launched in 2010) and Rochas Eau Sensuelle (from 2009) were both very strong sweet scents that seemed more appropriate for evening wear and for mature ladies. Both of them did not suit me at all and made my head ache within half an hour. They seemed very similar scents to me and they do have some notes that are the similar (Love, Chloe here and Rochas Eau Sensuelle here).  Unfortunately I can't wear neither of these, so moving on.

Kiehl's Original Musk is an unisex perfume which dates back to 1851. You can definitely sense that the recipe is very old and in my opinion you either like it or hate it. It brings me back to my childhood and to the scent that came from my great aunt's buduoir. I like it and would like to have it in my collection. But I'm not running to the counter just yet :)

Both Jeanne Lanvin Couture (launched in 2012) and YSL Manifesto (also launched in 2012) were more like my cup of tea. Both sweet but calm scents that didn't irritate me in any way. In my opinion they are suitable for both day and night wear. You can find notes of Lanvin Couture here and Manifesto's here . If I had to pick, I would go for Manifesto because it has two of my favourite scents in it - sandalwood and vanilla.

But... I'm still in search of a new favourite perfume so I'll be testing out other perfumes from my sample pile :)

 

 

Aegade jooksul on mul kogunenud mitukümmend parfüümitestrit ning kuna järjepidevalt saavad otsa parfüümid mu enda kollektsioonist, otsustasin sämpleid proovima hakata, lootuses, et leian uue lemmiklõhna :)

Testrid on mul väikse sinise kotikese sees ning valisin sealt suvalised viis välja, mis näppu jäid.

 

Love, Chloe ja Rochas Eau Sensuelle olid kaks sarnast lõhna, mis mõlemad panid mul poole tunniga pea valutama. Vänged, tummised ja magusad, sobilikud pigem õhtuseks kandmiseks ning vanemale daamile. Lõhnanoote saab kummagi kohta lugeda siit: Love, Chloe ja Rochas Eau Sensuelle . Seega kummastki neist ei saa minu uut lemmiklõhna.

Kiehl's Original Musk on tugev muskuselõhnaline unisex parfüüm, mis on parajalt eriline ning mis kas meeldib või üldse mitte. Lõhn on loodud aastal 1851 ja kindlasti on seda parfüümi nuusutades tunda ajaloo hõngu. Mind viib see alati tagasi lapsepõlve, vanatädi buduaari, mille sahtlid lõhnasid üsna sarnaselt.

Mulle meeldib!

Kaks viimast testrit olid mõlemad meeldivad rahulikud lõhnad. Jeanne Lanvin Couture on õige pisut värskem ning YSL Manifesto veidi puudrisem. Lõhnanoodid leiab siit: Lanvin ja Manifesto .

Kogu pundist on minu lemmik Manifesto, mille nootides on minu lemmikud sandlipuu ja vanill.

Siiski ei leidnud ma nende hulgast sellist, mis mind juuste lehvides poe poole jooksma paneks.

Otsin aga uued testrid oma hunnikust välja ja uudistan edasi :)

Nail trends A/W 2014

Like in fashion there's always a new nail trend for each season.

I'm the kind of person who does not follow fashion trends because I'm old enough to have developed my own personal style. But I do like to experiment with nail polish.

My favourites are all muddy, dark shades all year round and brights during summer.

Shades I usually skip are all kind of nudes and pastels because I find that with most of them you need three coats to achieve opaque result. And I just don't have that much patience nor time :D

 

So, this season, according to Cosmopolitan UK and Harper's Bazaar the trendiest shades are

metallics, nudes, dark reds and greys!

 

Here are my picks for the season from my nail polish collection :)

I almost don't have metallic in my collection so here's the ones that are closest and that I would actually wear :)

Left hand left to right: YSL La Laque #43 is metallic dark green, Essie Over the Top, Essie Aruba Blue, Essie Lacy not Racy.
Right hand left to right: Essie Licorice, Miss Matched, Love&Acceptance and my beloved Merino Cool.

How do you like this season's nail trend?
:)(:

Nii nagu moes, on igal hooajal ka oma küünetrendid. Nii toonide, küünekuju kui "mustrite" osas.
Kui ma oma riietuses üldiselt trende ei jälgi, siis küüntel meeldib mulle erinevaid toone proovida küll.

 Cosmopolitan UK ja Harper's Bazaar andmetel on sel sügis-talvel moes metallikud, nude nahatoonid, punased ning hallid.

Valisin oma  küünelaki kollektsioonist välja toonid, mis hooajatrendiga kokku lähevad :)

Vasak käsi vasakult paremale: YSL La Laque #43, Essie Over the Top, Essie Aruba Blue, Essie Lacy not Racy.
Parem käsi vasakult paremale: Essie Licorice, Miss Matched, Love&Acceptance and my beloved Merino Cool.

Kuidas sulle selle hooaja moetoonid meeldivad? Mida kannaksid ise?
:)(:

Haul: iHerb, Levelzone, Lirene, Ilu Sõnum

I've got quite a lot of interesting stuff over the past couple of weeks, so here's the list with my first impressions :)

iHerb

Sometimes I just like to wander on iHerb website and see what specials and trials they have going on.

For example this week on specials (15-22 October) you can save extra 20% on Physicians Formula :)

So, few weeks ago I ordered three items from the trials: Sierra Bees Organic Pomegranate Beeswax Lip balm with Vitamin E and Sierra Bees Organic Cocoa Butter Lip balm for just $ 0.50. I've tried the Cocoa Butter one and I like it a lot. It's unscented but when you apply it, there's a slight hint of cocoa you can smell :)

And I got United Exchange Face Cleansing Strips (pack of 3), also for just $ 0.50.

Since I'm using mineral powder, I needed a retractable brush to take with me and not get it all dirty in my bag. I bought EcoTools Retractable Kabuki Brush for $7.99 and I think it's a great brush. Soft and fluffy and hasn't shed at all :)

I've heard a lot of good things about them and wanted to try Now Foods Pineapple Rings (340g/12 oz for $4.40) and Now Foods Mango Slices (284g/10 oz for $5.39) and loved them. Will definitely repurchase because I just love the pure taste of these dried fruits. Also it's good value for money :)
A little extra gift from iHerb was this little eraser which my 6-year old already took away :)
If you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using code LWH786 you can save up to $10 on your first purchase :)

Lirene

Aloe and Cucumber Moisturisizing 2in1 cleanser was something I grabbed from the grocery shop in a hurry. It's a nice toner that I use either to remove traces of makeup at night after washing my face or in the mornings as a toner. It feels nice, does its job, hasn't irritated my skin or eyes and doesn't leave any residue on my face. I like it but the nozzle on the bottle is very uncomfortable to use.

Lirene Anti-Cellulite Cleansing Peeling smells like oranges and has quite a lot of exfoliating particles in it. I love to use it in the mornings because the fresh scent wakes me up. I'm not sure I believe in its ability to "cure" cellulite but I feel good knowing I'm doing at least SOMETHING to combat the problem :D

Levelzone

Levelzone is a local beauty online-shop that has a lot of special offers and discounts all the time. I needed a new tube of 8 hour cream which is my holy grail makeup item I can't live without. So the best deal I got from local shops was this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Traveler set that has a full size (50ml) tube of skin protectant, a full size (75ml) hand cream and a lip balm in it. I love each product from this set and I got it for a very affordable price :)

And since the shop had a discount on some of them, I got myself a Tangle Teezer The Original Brush in Pink Fizz. My family is addicted to it :)

Beauty Word fair

Every year in October we have a huge beauty fair called Beauty Word and I always make time to go and see what's new and of course purchase products for a very good price. 

I went there to get a shampoo and toothpaste but ended up coming home with a lot more :D

I got two different formulas of White Glo whitening toothpaste which I love, Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo (forgot to include in the photo), a shampoo from my favourite brand - Matrix Total Results Amplify and a bunch of stuff from a brand I haven't heard before - Premiere.

I actually bought only the Eye Contour Age Defying Fluid Eye Serum that instantly minimises the appearance of wrinkles and lightens up the under-eye area. You need the tiniest drop of this serum and have to really massage it in. Since it's quite time-consuming and my concealer doesn't stay well on top of this serum, I only use it at night. But to see quicker results you should use it day and night. So far I like it but will let you know if my under-eye area has improved after about a month if you are interested :)

And since I was a bit resistant to buy the serum (because it was rather pricey), the girl from the counter gave me a full size Refining Moisture Cream and a Cooling Eye Mask for free. I think I will give the face cream to someone close though and let them try it out :)

I am now about to hold myself back from buying new stuff and will reorganise my beauty drawers :) I got some nice things from Ikea to help create order in my drawers so hopefully that will tame my urge to buy and try new beauty things :)

Viimase paari nädala jooksul olen kätte saanud eelmise kuu lõpus tellitud pakid ja ostnud päris suure hunniku iluasju :)

Tellimus iHerbist
Mulle meeldib vahest niisama iHerbi kodulehel eripakkumiste või proovitellimuste osas kolada, sest väga soodsa hinnaga võib sealt leida põnevaid tooteid.
Näiteks kehtib järgmise kolmapäevani 20% lisasoodustus kogu Physicians Formula tootevalikule.

Niisiis tellisin prooviks kolm asja: Sierra Bees Organic Pomegranate Beeswax Lip balm with Vitamin E ja Sierra Bees Organic Cocoa Butter Lip balm huulepalsamid vaid  $0.50 eest. Proovisin juba Cocoa Butter palsamit ja see meeldib mulle väga. Eriti mõnus on kuidas muidu lõhnatut pulka huultele määrides on väga kergelt head kakaolõhna tunda :)

Võtsin prooviks United Exchange Face Cleansing Strips (3tk pakis) nahapuhastusribad, samuti vaid $0.50 eest.

Kuna hakkasin mineraalpuudrit kasutama ning soovin seda mõnikord ka kaasas kanda, vajasin pintslit, mis oleks vutlaris, et see kotis ei määrduks. Valisin välja EcoTools Retractable Kabuki Brush hinnaga $7.99 ning siiani olen sellega enam kui rahul :)

Tellisin veel ka Now Foods Pineapple Rings kuivatatud ananassirõngad (340g hinnaga $4.40) ja Now Foods Mango Slices kuivatatud mangoribad (284g hinnaga $5.39) ning need on oma arvukaid kiidusõnu väärt. Mulle meeldib nende puhas ja mahe maitse ning kindlasti tellin neid veel. Mõnus niisama krõmpsutada või hommikupudru või -helveste juurde tükeldada :)
iHerb pani sel korral tasuta kingina kaasa kustutuskummi :D, mille mu 6-aastane juba konfiskeeris :)
Kui sa pole varem iHerbist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786 võid oma esimeselt tellimuselt säästa kuni $10 :)

Lirene
Aloe and Cucumber Moisturisizing 2in1 cleanser tooniku krabasin kiiruga toidupoest (hind alla 4€) ning tegemist on täitsa hea näoveega. See ei ärrita mu silmi ega nahka, ei jäta ebameeldivat kihti näole ning tuleb toime meigijääkide eemaldamisega. Ka hommikuti on seda mõnusalt värskendav kasutada. Ainus asi, mis mulle ei meeldi, on pudeli kork. Väga ebamugav on toodet vatipadjale valada, mul on pidev hirm, et kallan pool pudelit lihtsalt põrandale.
Lirene Anti-Cellulite Cleansing Peeling tselluliidivastane kooriv pesugeel on mõnusalt värske apelsinilõhnaline geel, milles rohkelt koorivaid osakesi. Kuigi ma olen veidi skeptiline selle võimes tselluliidiga võidelda, on mul siiski hea meel, et ma teen midagigi, et probleemist vabaneda :)

Levelzone
Levelzone.ee on kiirelt saanud üheks minu lemmikuks kohalikuks e-poeks, kust ilutooteid tellida. Lisaks müüvad nad ka üht mu lemmikuimat brändi Sleek. Tihtilugu on neil käimas ka sooduskampaaniad ning paki saab kätte juba ülejärgmise päeva hommikul.
Kuna mu 8 hour cream on otsas, vajasin kiirelt uut tuubi, sest selleta ma enam elada ei suuda. Pikkade otsingute tulemusel oli parim pakkumine just Levelzone'is, kust soetasin Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Traveler komplekti (hinnaks 28.95€). Selles on kolm täissuuruses toodet - 50ml 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant, 75ml kätekreem ning huulepalsam. Olen väga rahul!
Pikalt soovisin saada endale ka pusakammi ning kuna Tangle Teezer The Original Brush Pink Fizz oli hea hinnaga (8.99€), tellisin ka selle ning enam ei taha muid kamme oma juuste ligi üldse lasta :)

Ostud Ilu Sõnumilt
Läksin messile plaaniga osta šampoon ning hambapasta kuid välja kukkus oluliselt rohkem :)
Ostsin kaks White Glo hambapastat (5€ tk), oma lemmikbrändi Matrix Total Result Amplify šampooni (6,95€) ja Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo kuivšampooni (unustasin pildile lisada, hind 4€).
Möödaminnes meelitati mind Premier boksi, mis minu jaoks oli täiesti tundmatu firma. Sain proovida silmaseerumit ning peab tunnistama, et kortsud muutusid koheselt vähemmärgatavaks ning silmaalused heledamaks. 

Eye Contour Age Defying Fluid Eye Serum silmaseerumi soetasin ekstrasoodukaga 80€ eest (messihind 120€, täishind 180€). Parima tulemuse saavutamiseks tuleb seerumit kasutada nii hommikul kui õhtul, masseerides imepisike tilk hoolikalt silmaümbrusse. Kuna meik ei taha seerumi peal püsida ning enamasti pole mul hommikuti nii palju aega, kasutan seerumit vaid õhtuti. Kui on huvi, võin umbes kuu aja pärast oma kogemusest ja seerumi toimest pikemalt kirjutada :)
Lisaks sain tasuta kingituseks täissuuruses Refining Moisture Cream näokreemi (tavahind 89.99€) ning Cooling Eye Mask silmamaski (tavahind 19.99€), mida tuleb hoida külmikus ning hommikul kui silmad on paistes või väga väsinud, mõneks minutiks maski Zorro kombel silmadel hoida.

Üritan nüüd mõnda aega uute kosmeetikumide ostmisest hoiduda ning korrastada ja sorteerida oma meigisahtleid. Selleks leidsin Ikeast nutikaid abimehi ning loodetavasti talitseb see tegevus mu pidevat meigiostuvajadust :)

Empties #14

Yet another huge pile of empty bottles to throw away but before I do that, I'll share what I think of them and if I would repurchase :)

Hair and body

Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo - I first mentioned this one in my haul post and I must say that I liked it till the end. First of all the scent was just sooooo nice, the best I've had among all the dry shampoos I've had. It did its job but if you want very voluminous hair you should try something else. If they'd sell it in Estonia, I'd definitely repurchase.

Schauma Cotton Fresh Dry Shampoo Anti-grease - it was okay but as I said in my haul post (link above) it left a bit of white residue afterwards so it's more suitable to spray in your hair the night before to wake up with nice and clean-looking hair. It was quite good for the price :)

Avon Naturals Vanilla Moisturising Body Scrub - very thick cream that smelled like true vanilla. It   smelled so good I was tempted to eat it. It's not a full-on body scrub, more like a shower cream with exfoliating particles in it. I also liked that it really did moisturised my skin as the name promised. I would repurchase it first because of the yummy scent and second because it was a nice product to use between thorough exfoliation sessions :)

Face

Nivea Sensitive 3in1 Micellar Cleansing Water - I was actually positively surprised at how good this micellar water is. It struggles with removing eyeliner and mascara but overall I liked to use it after I cleansed my face to remove last traces of makeup and in the mornings to refresh my face. Also it didn't irritate my skin or eyes or cause any breakouts. I usually yearn for cleansing balms and milks instead of toners during colder seasons but I might repurchase this one in the spring :)

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - it did a good job removing makeup and other grime from my face and didn't irritate my skin nor eyes. It was a good product but for some reason it didn't wow me enough to buy another one.

Lumene Basic Blue Night Cream - I bought it last winter when my skin was in a bad shape from all the wind and cold. It did a great job making my skin feel good again. Plus the scent of this cream is just divine! Unfortunately it got old but I would repurchase come the freezing weather :)

Listerine Stay White Arctic Mint Mouthwash - I needed to include this one because it is a great mouthwash! I don't know about the whitening abilities but all the other stuff it does very well. Mind the extra strong taste though :)

Makeup

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream SPF30 5in1 Beauty Balm - I wrote a first impressions/review post on it HERE and in one word - worth of repurchasing :)

Garnier Roll-on for eyes - this product in a green tube is meant to help remove puffiness and cool down your under-eye area. Very useful for mornings after a big party or watching a drama :)

Garnier Roll-on Anti-dark circles - it's actually a very nice concealer for dark under-eye area. I don't know why people talk so little about it. It has a metallic roller-ball as an applicator which is so nice and cooling. If you need a full-coverage, this might be a little light for you but still I love the product and will repurchase :)

Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel - a nice product to keep your eyebrows at place for at least half a day. Or maybe it's just my eyebrows that need a proper wax to stay put. Still this one was better than a lot of other similar products :)

MaxFactor Ageless Elixir 2in1 Foundation Serum (sample size) - it's not suitable for combo and oily skin so that's why I didn't even finish the sample size of it. 

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream (sample size) - this sample made me buy a full size and you can read my review on it HERE :)

Perfume
Escada Magnetism - I'm sad it's gone :( Maybe will repurchase one day.
I mentioned it in my perfume collection part II post :)

p.s. it's autumn and the lightning is very bad so please forgive and bare with the bad quality pictures for another 6 months :)

Väike kirjatükk veel enne kui kõik need potsikud ja pudelid kaovad :)

Juuksed ja keha

Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo - mainisin seda esmakordselt oma ostude postituses ning pean ütlema, et olin sellega rahul viimase piserduseni. See on kuivšampoon, mis teeb täpselt seda, mida vaja - tekitab puhaste, värskete juuste välimuse. Lisaks lõhnas see ka taevalikult! Kes soovib kuivšampoonilt lisaks ka megavolüümi saada, peaks mõne teise brändi poole kiikama. Kui seda Eestis müüdaks, ostaksin kindlasti uuesti :)

Schauma Cotton Fresh Dry Shampoo Anti-grease - see oli täitsa okei kuivšampoon odavamate samalaadsete toodete hulgas. Nagu ma oma postituses (link eelmise tootekirjelduse juures) mainisin, jätab see korraliku valge kihi juustesse, mida on raske välja kammida. Seega sobib see pigem eelmisel õhtul juustesse pihustamiseks, et hommikul ärgates oleks juuksed värske ja puhta väljanägemisega. Nii odava raha eest täitsa korralik toode.

Avon Naturals Vanilla Moisturising Body Scrub - tihke kreemjas toode, mis lõhnas nagu päris vanill. See lõhnas nii hästi, et ma oleks seda tõesõna peaaegu maitsnud :) See kindlasti pole kehakoorija vaid pigem dušikreem koorivate osakestega ja nautisin selle kasutamist oma koorimissessioonide vahepeal väga. Nagu tuubil lubatud, niisutas see mu nahka ning ostaksin seda uuesti :)

Nägu

Nivea Sensitive 3in1 Micellar Cleansing Water - ma olin positiivselt üllatunud kui väga sellega rahule jäin. Kasutasin seda õhtuti pärast meigi mahapesemist, et eemaldada viimaseid jääke ning hommikuti puhastava ja virgutava toonikuna. See ei ärritanud mu nahka ega silmi ning ei tekitanud punne. Kuna sügistalvisel hooajal armastan pigem kreemjaid tooted, siis ei välista, et järgmisel kevadel soetan uue pudeli :)

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - see puhastusgeel sai hästi hakkama meigi ja muu mustuse näonahalt eemaldamisega kuid mingil põhjusel ei vaimustunud ma sellest niivõrd, et uut pudelit soetada. Muidu hea toode väga taskukohase hinna eest!

Lumene Basic Blue Night Cream - ostsin selle kreemi eelmisel talvel kui mu näonahk oli ilmastikuolude tõttu väga ärritunud ja halvas seisundis. Juba pärast esimest kasutuskorda nägin ülihäid tulemusi. Väga hea kreem, mille soetan uuesti kui ilmad karmiks ja külmaks muutuvad ning lisaks lõhnab see lausa taevalikult :)

Listerine Stay White Arctic Mint Mouthwash - nii kui see suuvee pudel otsa sai, leidsin end seda igatsemast. Maitse on muidugi tohutult kange, seega seda tuleks silmas pidada. Lisaks ei tea ma midagi kosta lubatud valgendava efekti kohta :)

Makeup

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream SPF30 5in1 Beauty Balm - kirjutasin selle kohta eraldi postituse, mille saab kokku võtta lühidalt - väärt uuesti ostmist!

Garnier Roll-on for eyes - see rohelises tuubis geel on mõeldud tursunud silmade rahustamiseks ja silmaümruse jahutamiseks. Imeliselt hea toode pärast pikale veninud pidu või tatise draamafilmi vaatamist :) Tasub soetamist!

Garnier Roll-on Anti-dark circles - väga hea tumedate silmaaluste katmiseks mõeldud toode, mis mingil kummalisel põhjusel ei saa piisavalt kiidusõnu! Oma parimatel päevadel (kui need pole tavapäraselt lillad), katab ning samal ajal niisutab mu silmaaluseid perfektselt. Ostan kindlasti veel!

Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel - hea toode, millega fikseerida oma kulmud pärast seda kui oled need värvinud. Minu kulmud on nagu metsik mets, mistõttu mulle jäi selle geeli "kleepimisomadustest" veidi väheks kuid siiski julgen seda soovitada. Ilmselt ostan siiski veel :)

MaxFactor Ageless Elixir 2in1 Foundation Serum (tester) - kindlasti pole see jumestuskreem sobilik kombineeritud ja rasuse nahaga daamidele. Kasutasin seda umbes kolm korda ning veendusin, et pärast paari tundi välja näha kui diskopall, ei ole päris minu teema :) Pigem soovitan seda jumestuskreemi kuiva nahaga ning eakamatele daamidele :)

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream (tester) - pärast selle testri kasutamist soetasin endale täissuuruses toote ning minu arvamust sellest saab lugeda SIIT :)

Parfüüm
Escada Magnetism - mul on väga kahju, et see lõhn otsa sai ning küllap soetan selle millalgi uuesti.
Kirjutasin sellest pikemalt oma parfüümi kollektsiooni teise osa postituses :)

Moekuulutaja & Ilu Sõnum

This post is in Estonian because it's about two great events held this weekend - a local fashion event Moekuulutaja in Tartu Kaubamaja on October 10 and 11 and a beauty fair called Beauty Word that's held in Tallinn in Estonian Fairs Canter on October 10-12  :)

 

 

Armsad moe- ja iluhuvilised!

Sel nädalavahetusel on toimumas lausa kaks suurepärast üritust, mida võimalusel külastaksin mõlemat!!!

 Paraku Tartusse ma sel korral ei jõua kuid need, kes pesitsevad lõunapool, peaks ilmtingimata külastama 10.-11. oktoobril Tartu Kaubamaja, kus toimumas järjekordne Moekuulutaja !

Moepidu kestab Tartu Kaubamajas juba alates esmaspäevast kuid just homme ja laupäeval on võimalik oma silmaga näha algavaks hooajaks kokku pandud moeetendusi nii naistele, lastele kui ka meestele.

Lisaks on avatud ka juba traditsiooniks saanud POP-UP kauplus, kus sel korral esindatud kodumaiste kaubamärkide värsked kollektsioonid :)

Moekuulutaja tiim saatis mulle ka pisikese kingikoti, mille eest suur AITÄH ning kotis peitunud Escada Joyful lõhna- ja kreeminäidis tekitasid minus vastupandamatu vajaduse järgmiseks just see parfüüm endale soetada :)

 

***

Alates homsest kuni pühapäevani ehk 10.-12. oktoobril toimub Tallinnas, Eesti Näituste Messikeskuses iga iluhuvilise aasta tippsündmus - mess Ilu Sõnum 2014 .

Kuigi mul on igale päevale juba mõndagi planeeritud, pigistan mõnetunnise messikülastuse nui neljaks oma plaanidesse :)

Sellelt messilt olen alati saanud suurepärase hinnaga kvaliteetseid kosmeetikume ning kogu see melu on ühele asjaarmastajale parim ajaveetmisviis :)

Messi kodulehelt saab endale välja printida ka flaieri, millega pääseb messile vaid 3 euro eest.

 

Mõnusat nädalalõppu ja häid moe- ning iluoste :)



Haul: goodies from Kiehl's

In my Fall Wishlist post I told you about the BB cream I was trying out and after using it three times, I was sure I need it in my life :D

So I got myself Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream in shade Light.

It says on the packaging that it's instantly perfecting formula clinically proven to correct skin tone irregularities, contains vitamin C and broad spectrum SPF 50 PA+++.

It comes in a 30ml (1.0 fl.oz) tube which is enough for a very long time because my 3ml (0.1 fl.oz.) sample was enough for 4 uses to cover all of my face and neck.

I use it to even out my skin tone on the days when I'm not bothered to put on a full face of makeup. I have also used it under my mineral foundation as a primer.

I hasn't irritated my skin nor broken me out. I can't say if it has improved my skin tone and texture yet because I haven't used it regularly.

I would also say that this BB cream is suitable for dry and mature skin but not for oily skin because it tends to get shiny on my T-zone after half a day (I have combination skin).

All in all, I'm happy with this product and have three favourites from Kiehl's from now on :)

(other two are their beautiful Creme de Corps and one of my favourite scents from them Fig Leaf and Sage)

One thing I love about visiting Kiehl's counters is that they are always very knowledgeable and are happily offering you a bunch of samples to try their products at home.

So I was totally dumbstruck and very surprised when I received a bunch of samples (some of them deluxe sizes) to try out.

I got a sample of Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye cream, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream accompanied by their Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream, Cryste Marine Ultra Riche lifting and firming cream and a travel size Oil Eliminator Refreshing Shine Control Toner For Men which they said is also suitable for setting your makeup :)

It was like Christmas already :)

I'll let you know if any of these samples will make me want to get a full size and why :)

Oma sügise ostusoovide postituses mainisin BB kreemi, mille testrit proovisin ning need kolm kasutuskorda andsid kinnitust, et mu ellu on vaja täissuuruses Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream toonis Light (hind 29 €).

Pakendil lubatakse, et see kreem ühtlustab nahatooni, sisaldab C vitamiini ning väga kõrget SPF 50 PA+++ päikesekaitsefaktorit.

Kreemi on tuubis 30ml, millest jätkub väga pikaks ajaks, sest juba 3ml testrituubist jätkus neljaks kasutuskorraks, et katta kogu nägu ja kael.

Enamasti kasutan ma seda BB kreemi neil päevil, mil mul pole aega või viitsimist meigiga pikalt jännata, et ühtlustada nahatooni. Samuti olen seda kasutanud oma mineraalse meigipõhja all aluskreemina. Ka selliselt toimib see hästi.

Kiehl'si kreem pole mu nahka ärritanud ega punne tekitanud kuid selleks, et veenduda selle nahatooni  ja -tekstuuri parandavas efektis, peaksin seda järjepidevalt pikema aja vältel kasutama. 

Kiehl'si BB kreem sobib kindlasti vanemas eas daamidele ning ka kuiva naha omanikele. Rasuse nahaga neiudele ma seda pigem ei soovita, sest minu kombineeritud nahal hakkab T-tsoon läikima poole päeva pealt.
Kokkuvõtteks olen oma ostuga väga rahul ning nüüdseks on mul Kiehl'silt juba kolm lemmikut toodet :)

(teised kaks on ülihea Creme de Corps kehakreem ning üks mu lemmiklõhnu Fig Leaf and Sage)

Põhjus, miks mulle alati meeldib Kiehl'si Kaubamajas külastada, on nende asjatundlikud ja sõbralikud müüjad ning fakt, et nad annavad hea meelega kaasa hulga testreid ning ei sunni sind kohe ja proovimata täissuuruses potsikuid ostma. 

Seega olin ma täiesti sõnatu ja ülimalt positiivselt üllatunud kui leidsin oma kotist nii suurel hulgal erinevaid sämpleid :) Nagu oleks juba Jõulud käes :D
Kotis olid peidus Midnight Recovery Concentrate seerum ja Midnight Recovery Eye silmakreem, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream näokreem koos sama sarja Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream silmakreemiga, Cryste Marine Ultra Riche pinguldav näokreem ning reisisuuruses Oil Eliminator Refreshing Shine Control Toner For Men toonik meestele, mida sobib kasutada ka meigikinnitusspreina :)

Anna kindlasti tulevikus teada kui nende hulgas on tooteid, mida kindlasti täissuuruses soetada soovin ning miks :)
