Empties #20 pt I

Even though all of these items are long gone into the trash, I still want to talk about why or if I'd repurchase them. I will break this into two parts because it's been ages since my last empties post and nobody would manage to read all of it in one go :D

Hair & body
Rexona Invisible pure 0% alcohol anti-perspirant  - this anti-perspirant stick really did its job very well and the scent wasn't overpowering. It's affordable and effective so I would repurchase :)
Avon Senses Romantic Garden of Eden shower gel - it had a sweet floral scent, made me clean and didn't dry my skin out. What else would you want from a body wash, right?
Redken Blonde Glam shampoo - I really, really, really liked this shampoo a lot. I didn't even feel the need for a conditioner. Love it and would repurchase it any minute but it's been discontinued :(
Garnier Fructis Thick&Gorgeous Fortifying conditioner - this conditioner was okay but nothing special. I didn't notice any effect on my hair that's promised on the bottle, so I wouldn't buy it again.
Oriflame Nature Secrets Mint&Raspberry anti-perspirant - this roll-on deodorant was also very effective and I can't even count how many of these I've used up in my life. One of my favourites which I will always repurchase.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cool&Crisp Fresh and Clean&Classic Original - I always have at least one bottle of Batiste dry shampoo in the house so don't be too surprised to see one in every empties' post :) I liked the Original version more, it seemed to be more effective than the Cool&Crisp one. I already have the original version repurchased :)


Face & eyes
Oriflame Feet Up Fresh berries & raspberry foot scrub - I honestly don't know why foot scrub is on the same picture as face and eyes products but yeah, let it be :D This scrub was a gel with scrubbing particles in it. I didn't like it because there were not enough scrubbing particles and so it was too mild if not to say completely useless. Not buying that one again.
Premier Eye Serum - I bought it last year during our annual beauty fair. It took ages to massage in and makeup didn't sit on it at all. So I started to use it only at night but still it took too long and I didn't see any visible results. I would rather spend my 80€ on something else next time.
Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Mask with Cucumber - they say it's moisturizing, purifying and soothing. This was my first experience with tissue masks and to be honest, I didn't find it as satisfying as usual clay or peel-off face masks. Also I didn't notice a purifying effect and even though my face was covered with soaking wet cloth my skin didn't feel extremely hydrated after using it. Probably will not repurchase.
JOIK Refreshing Peppermint & Green Tea facial mask - this one is still in the old packaging and since it was expired I had to throw it away. I'm not a big fan of masks that I have to mix myself but I actually liked the effect of this mask so I would repurchase it again in the future. 
United Exchange Face Cleansing strips - these strips are quite good and effective but you should be careful not to leave them on for too long because removing the strips will get rather painful. There are 3 strips in the pack and I managed to use them around my nose area not on my chin and forehead as the picture on the packaging suggest. I would repurchase these again and the affordable price of these is pure bonus :)
Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealizer - I liked this eye cream a lot. It's moisturizing but at the same time perfect under makeup. I also liked the applicator and that it comes in a tube. I think my wrinkles around my eyes appeared less visible so definitely a product I will buy again in the future.

P.S. If you're about to order from iHerb for the first time, use my code LWH786 to get up to $10 off your order :)


Kuigi kõik need potsikud on juba ammu prügikastis, olen ikkagi võlgu postituse oma viimaste kuude jooksul tühjaks saanud toodetest. Kuna taarat on kogunenud väga palju, kirjutan seekord kahes osas ja esimesena keha, juuste, näo ja silmatoodetest.

Juuksed & keha
Rexona Invisible pure 0% alcohol anti-perspirant - see pulkdeodorant oli väga efektiivne ja tagasihoidliku lõhnaga, mis kuidagi ei häirinud. Hea toode, mille soetaksin ilmselt uuesti, boonuseks hea hind :)
Avon Senses Romantic Garden of Eden dušigeel - see dušigeel lõhnas magusalt ja lilleliselt, pesi puhtaks ega kuivatanud nahka. Midagi rohkemat ma ühelt kehaseebilt ei ootagi, sega igati väärt uuesti soetamist :)
Redken Blonde Glam šampoon - ma tõesti nautisin selle šampooni kasutamist ning isegi ei tundnud vajadust palsami järele. Kahjuks seda sarja enam ei toodeta kuid kui seda kuskil veel müügil oleks, tormaksin kohe uue pudeli järele.
Garnier Fructis Thick&Gorgeous Fortifying palsam - mitte millegi poolest eriline palsam, mis minu juustele pakendil lubatud efekti ei andnud. Seega jääb see sari edaspidi minust poeriiulitele.
Oriflame Nature Secrets Mint&Raspberry anti-perspirant - roll-on deodorant, mida olen juba lugematu arv kordi tühjaks kasutanud ning kindlasti ostan ka edaspidi. Hea lõhnaga ja väga efektiivne toode.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Cool&Crisp Fresh ja Clean&Classic Original kuivšampoon - mul on alati kodus vähemalt üks pudel Batiste kuivšampooni, seega ei maksa imestada, et igas järgmises empties postituses see jälle olemas on. Mulle meeldis rohkem Original versioon, oli tõhusam kui Cool&Crisp, seega viimast ma enam ei ostaks ja uus pudel Original'i on mul juba kodus olemas :)

Nägu & silmad
Oriflame Feet Up Fresh berries & raspberry jalakoorija - mul pole õrna aimugi, miks jalakoorija on samal pildil näotoodetega :D Selle jalakoorija näol on tegemist geeliga, milles koorivad osakesed. Minu arvates oli selle toote efekt nullilähedane, sest koorivaid osakesi oli liiga vähe. Rohkem ei osta.
Premier Eye Serum - selle seerumi ostsin eelmisel aastal Ilumessilt. Seerumi parima efekti saavutamiseks tuleb seda pikka aega silma ümbrusesse masseerida. Meigi alla ei sobinud see üldse ja kogu kasutamise protsess oli liiga aeganõudev, lisaks ei näinud ma ka mingit erilist efekti. Edaspidi kulutan need 80€ mõne teise toote peale :(
Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Mask with Cucumber - see oli minu esimene kogemus kangasmaski kasutamisel. Ma ei saaks öelda, et see mulle rohkem meeldiks kui klassikaline savi- või kilemaski kasutamine. Pakil lubatakse niisutavat, rahustavat ja puhastavat efekti. Ma kahjuks ei tajunud nähtavat puhastavat efekti ja kuigi mu nägu oli kaetud läbimärja riidega, ei tundnud ma pärast maski kasutamist, et nahk oleks ülemäära rohkem niisutatud. Esmakordse kasutamise järel ma seda rohkem ei soetaks.
JOIK värskendav näomask rohelise tee ja piparmündiga - see mask oli mul veel vanas pakendis ja pidin sellest loobuma põhjusel, et selle säilivusaeg oli juba möödunud. Kuigi ma ei armasta eriti maske, mida pean ise kokku segama, meeldis selle maski efekt mulle väga. Seega olen valmis seda uuesti soetama ja uued pakendid on ka mitu korda mugavamad kui see vana versioon :)
United Exchange Face Cleansing strips - pakis on kolm poore puhastavat "kleepsu", mida mina kasutasin nina ümbruses mitte laubal ja lõual nagu pilt pakendil soovitab. Kleebised on üsna efektiivsed pooride puhastamisel kuid tuleb hoolikalt jälgida, et kleeps liiga pikaks ajaks nahale ei jää, sest siis on selle eemaldamine väga valus. iHerb'is on see ka tavahinnaga väga soodne, seega oma järgmise tellimusega lisan need kindlasti oma ostukorvi.
Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealizer - mulle väga meeldis see silmakreem nii mugava pakendi kui ka niisutava ja peenete kortsukese vähemmärgatavaks muutmise tõttu. Kindlasti toode, mida ostaksin uuesti, sest see sobis imehästi ka meigi all kasutamiseks :)

P.S. Kui hakkad esimest korda iHerb'ist tellima, kasuta koodi LWH786 ja saad oma ostult kuni 10$ soodustust :)

10 years of Flowerbomb

Viktor&Rolf fragrance called Flowerbomb was first introduced to the world 10 years ago! Congratulations!!!
I discovered this wonderful, full, potent, mature and very feminine scent two years ago and it has haunted me since.
I think that this perfume is very black and white - you either love it or hate it.
I'm the one obsessed with it and it kills me that I still don't have it in my collection!

This perfume is exactly what it says - a flowerbomb - including jasmine, rose, orchid, freesia and patchouli.

If you haven't heard of it or ever smelled it, I strongly suggest you go and take a sniff!
It's marvellous!

pic from HERE

Viktor&Rolf'i parfüüm Flowerbomb on saanud 10 aastaseks!
Mina avastasin selle lõhna enda jaoks kaks aastat tagasi ja see on mind siiani kummitanud. Äkki soetan selle endale lõpuks jõulukingiks? :)

Flowerbomb on väga tugev, tummine, naiselik lõhn, mis nagu nimigi ütleb, pakatab lilledest. Parfüümist leiad jasmiini, roosi, orhidee, freesia ja patšuli noote.

Minu arvates on Flowerbomb üsna must-valge lõhn - seda kas armastatakse või vihatakse. Mina kuulun vaieldamatult esimeste hulka :)

Kui sa pole selle parfüümiga tuttav, soovitan minna poodi ja nuusutada :)

Haul: few things from Oriflame

This haul is rather small and might not be very exciting but I'll show what I recently got anyway :)

Oriflame's Milk & Honey Gold range is my second favourite from the brand after their Mint & Raspberry one. The scent of Milk & Honey products really does smell like milk and honey combined and makes me feel warm and cosy (weird, huh :D ). I especially love these products during autumn/winter time :)
This time I got a moisturising shower cream and creamy soap bar. I would love the shower cream to be a tiny bit "creamier" but it's still a good one. I thought I'd try and see how long would a bar of soap last me because I feel that I run out of liquid soaps too fast. I will be measuring the time of use for this bar :)

I also ordered The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash mascara. It has a nice skinny rubber wand which makes it very easy to use and I'm less likely to smudge the mascara all around my eyes :) (Here's a trick for you on how to correct the mascara mistakes - LINK). This mascara doesn't give a lot of thickness but that can be achieved with a few coats. I'd give this mascara 4 out of 5 :)

I think The ONE Colour Unlimited Eye Shadow Sticks are rather new and me being a huge eyeshadow sticks' fan just had to order two shades that were missing from my collection :) I got Mauve Lava (swatch on the left) which is a "taupey" purple shade and Charcoal Dusk (swatch on the right) which is dark grey. I haven't had the chance to play with them a lot yet but they feel very creamy and soft :)

Have you tried any of these products?
Do you have a favourite product from Oriflame that you keep repurchasing?
:)(:


Tellisin Oriflame'i eelmisest kataloogist järjekordsed ilutooted, mida pole küll palju kuid mis ehk ikkagi huvi pakkuda võiksid :)

Milk & Honey Gold sari on pärast mündi-vaarika sarja minu järgmine lemmik. Need tooted lõhnavad tõesti piima ja mee järele, mis tekitab minus sooja ja mõnusa tunde. Eriti meeldib mulle neid kasutada sügistalvisel ajal :)
Võtsin proovimiseks Milk & Honey Gold niisutava dušikreemi (3.49€) ja kreemja seebi (1.79€). Dušikreem võiks olla veidi "kreemisem" kuid sellegipoolest on tegu väga mõnusa tootega. Seebi tellisin katsetamaks, kas see kestab kauem kui vedelad dušigeelid, mis mul küll liiga kiiresti otsa kipuvad saama. Eks võtan siis aega kui kiiresti see seebitükk ära kulub :)

Mul oli hädasti vaja uut ripsmetušši ja tellisin proovimiseks The ONE 5-in-1 Wonderlash tuši (hetkel kehtivas kataloogis 7.90€ kuid soovitan oodata alesid ;) ). Mulle meeldib selle tuši kitsas kummist harjas, millega pääsen ripsmejuure lähedale ilma, et kogu laugu täis mäkerdaksin :) (Siin on väike trikk, kuidas hõlpsalt laugudelt tušš eemaldada - LINK). Kuigi see tušš ei anna eriti rohkelt tihedust on seda siiski võimalik mitme kihiga saavutada. 5-palli skaalal annan sellele hindeks 4 :)

Kuna olen suur kreemjate lauvärvide ja eriti lauvärvipliiatsite fänn, tellisin prooviks kaks The ONE Colour Unlimited lauvärvipliiatsit, toonides mis minu kollektsioonist veel puudu olid - hallikas-pruunikas-ploom nimega Mauve Lava (värvinäidis pildil vasakul) ja kerge kumaga tumehall Charcoal Dusk (värvinäidis pildil paremal). Hetkel kehtivas kampaanias (kuni 26.10) on need soodushinnaga 4.79€ tk. Ma pole nendega veel väga palju katsetanud kuid esialgu tunduvad need küll väga pehmed ja kreemjad :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?
Kas sul on mõni lemmik Oriflame'ilt mida ikka ja jälle ostad?

Wishlist: Ilu Sõnum Sügis 2015

Today is the first day of our annual biggest beauty and fashion fair Beauty Word that I always have in my calendar and visit.
The event will be held in Estonian Fairs Centre until Sunday October 11th 6pm.

I went through the list of all the companies that will be represented and came up with a short list of things I'd like to get :)

Living Proof hair products because I don't have a good shampoo in my house at the moment :)
Blendercleanser Solid because I first tried it at MUA school and  it's the best and most effective of all the makeup brush cleansers I've used! 
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat becuase I just can't live without it and 4 similar products I currently use just don't perform as well :)
Dermosil products because I've never tried them :)
Milani Cosmetics because I really lack in blushes and I hope they will have a good selection :)

I will try to show you the stuff I get tomorrow so you'll get the chance to go and grab the ones you like on Sunday the latest :)


Igale ilu- ja moehuvilisele pole mitte mingi uudis, et täna algas Mess Ilu Sõnum Sügis 2015 :)
Vaatasin läbi kõik brändid, kes sel korral esindatud ja tegin enda jaoks nimekirja, kelle boksi kindlasti külastan :)
Homme, laupäeval, lähen jahtima järgmiseid tooteid:

Living Proof juuksehooldustooteid, sest mul on šampoon täiesti otsas :) Neid tooteid leiab Salonshop Baltic boksist :)
Blendercleanser Solid meigivahendite puhastusseep on parim, mida ma proovinud olen! Selle leiab PRO Kosmeetika boksist.
Seche Vite kiirkuivatav pealislakk on minu absoluutne lemmik, milleta ma lihtsalt ei saa hakkama. Mul on hetkel 4 alternatiivset toodet ja ükski neist ei tee oma tööd nii hästi kui Seche Vite! Selle leiab Beauty Pro boksist :)
Dermosil ja Milani Cosmetics tooteid tahaks lihtsalt näha ja katsuda :)

Makeup Revolution London Lip Products

If I have a makeup item obsession then my weakness is lipsticks :) 
(You can see my lipstick collection from two years ago that has expanded a lot by now HERE)
I've lost count of how many I have at the moment and I don't really care :) Whenever I feel down, stressed and just pissed off about everything buying lipstick always makes me feel better :D

I recently discovered Makeup Revolution London, did some research on what to order and was SO happy to discover that I can get a very good quality lipsticks starting with just £1! Yay!

With my first order I got these items that I found good reviews on:
Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquer in What I Believe - this is a lip gloss that dries matte and is something like liquid lipstick. The shade is quite bright which makes it more suitable for summer. It does make my lips feel dry but it's not something too unbearable if I apply lip balm before or a regular gloss on top.
Amazing Lipgloss in Nude Shimmer - almost see-through light pink lip gloss that goes on top of every lipstick shade. Not too sticky and sheer enough to whack on without a mirror :)
Amazing Lipstick in The One, Ruby and 100% Vamp - I just can't believe how cheap these truly amazing lipsticks are! I love Ruby because it's a classic red that has slightly pink undertone and 100% Vamp is something I've never had in my collection. I cannot apply it as it is in the tube because I will look dead but applied sheer it makes me look so chic and like million bucks :D 
Unfortunately The One is too nude for me and doesn't flatter my skin tone (I'm fair and slightly olive undertone) but those who like skin coloured nudes will love it!

I strongly suggest you check out Makeup Revolution London because the reviews are great and prices even better! I think I will order some more of the Amazing Lipsticks and some of their eye shadow palettes because its rumoured in social media that they have great dupes for most of the raved high-end palettes out there ;)


Hiljuti avastasin enda jaoks vägagi taskukohase kosmeetikabrändi Makeup Revolution London. Tegin veidi taustauuringut ning tellisin mõned tooted huultele, sest just huulepulgad on minu nõrk koht ja neid pole kunagi liiga palju :)

Salvation Velvet Lip Laqcuer toonis What I Believe ( £3 ehk umbes 4€) - ere matt roosa huuleläige, mida võiks pigem iseloomustada kui vedelat huulepulka. Huuled muutuvad seda kandes kuivaks kuid kui enne kasutada huulepalsamit või lisada peale hoopis huuleläiget, on see üsna mugav ja püsib pikalt.
Amazing Lipgloss toonis Nude Shimmer (£1 ehk umbes 1.35€) - peaaegu läbipaistev heleroosa huuleläige, mis sobib iga huulepulga tooni peale ja mida on võimalik mugavalt ilma peeglita peale kanda.
Amazing Lipstick toonides The One, Ruby ja 100% Vamp (£1 ehk umbes 1.35€)- väga mõnusad huulepulgad, mille kvaliteet on sellise hinna kohta lausa suurepärane. Nahavärvi toon The One mulle kahjuks ei sobi, Ruby on klassikaline punane, millel kerge roosa alatoon ja seetõttu sobib minu jumega väga hästi. 100% Vamp on väga tume ploomitoon, mida ma otse tuubist peale kanda ei saa kuid huuli õrnalt huulepulgaga tupsutades ning värvi hajutades annab see väga šiki tulemuse.

Üldiselt jäin oma esimese tellimusega rahule, pakk jõudis ilusti Eestisse kohale ja liitudes uudiskirjaga saad esimesena teada headest pakkumistest, mida laekub küll iga nädal :)

Kas oled sellest brändist varem midagi kuulnud ja nende tooteid proovinud?

What's in my go-to makeup bag?

I thought I'd update "What's in my makeup bag" post since I did one almost two years ago (LINK)  :)
I try to have few staples in my makeup bag for touch-ups during the day and to have few things for quickly changing my makeup from day to night if needed :)
I love this YSL makeup bag because the surface of it doesn't get dirty and it opens up very wide so I can quickly rummage through it and grab what I need :)
I wear contacts so I always need to have eye drops with me. My favourite is Bausch&Lomb ReNu MultiPlus one. Since my face gets shiny throughout the day I always have a powder and/or blotting papers with me. At the moment it's Lancôme Micro-Aerated Pressed Powder in Translucent and Oriflame Optimals Matte Touch Face Blotting Tissues. I apply my powder with Oriflame Giordani Gold Flat Foundation Brush, it's short and tiny and fits perfectly in my bag. There's always a compact mirror and Travalo filled with my favourite perfume. Also because of the small packaging I like to keep my EOS Hand Lotion in Berry Blossom with me at all times :)
As I'm a lipstick hoarder, there's always a handful of lip products in my makeup bag. I switch them from time to time and at the moment I have more fall appropriate shades with me  - YSL Gloss Pur in shade 9, Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in shade 05, Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in shade 020 Best Seller,Truth Teller and Essence Longlasting Lipstick in 07 Natural Beauty.
 For my dark circles I have L'Oreal Touche Magique concealer which I think is a great for illuminating, a black liner which is a random one from Bellaoggi and Oriflame retractable Wonder Colour Lip Liner in Vibrant Pink.
There's always a lip balm and for now it's Burt's Bees Lip Balm with kokum butter that I absolutely love!
Do you take makup bag with you? How many items do have in it? What's your staples?
:)(:

Mulle meeldib sobrada oma sõbrannade meigikottides ning sel põhjusel mõtlesin kaasajastada oma "Meigikoti sisu" postitust, sest viimati kirjutasin sellest pea kaks aastat tagasi (LINK) :)

Selles valges YSL meigikotis kannan kaasas hädavajalikke tooteid, et päeva jooksul oma meiki värskendada ning ootamatuste korral päevameik õhtuks sobivaks muuta.

Kuna kannan läätseid, on mul kotis alati kaasas niisutavad silmatilgad, minu lemmikuks on Bausch&Lomb ReNu MultiPlus. Alati on kaasas ka peegel ning Travalo minu lemmikparfüümiga. Kuna minu kombineeritud nahk muutub päeva jooksul läikivaks, on mul alati kaasas imavad paberid (Oriflame Optimals Matte Touch Face Blotting Tissues) ning presspuuder (Lancôme Micro-Aerated Pressed Powder toonis Translucent). Puudrit kannan peale Oriflame Giordani Gold lameda jumestuskreemi pintsliga, sest see on lühikese varrega ja väike, nii et mahub hõlpsalt kotti. Väikese pakendi tõttu on mugav kaasas kanda ka EOS Berry Blossom kätekreemi.

Meigikoti valdav enamus kuulub huuletoodetele, mida aeg-ajalt vahetan. Hetkel on mu meigikotis sügisele sobilikud tooted - Burt's Bees huulepalsam, YSL Gloss Pur huuleläige toonis 9, Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector toonis 05, Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss huuleläige toonis 020 Best Seller,Truth Teller ja Essence Longlasting Lipstick huulepulk toonis 07 Natural Beauty.

Veel on alati kaasas valgustpeegeldav peitekreem minu tumedatele silmaalustele (L'Oreal Touche Magique), must silmapliiats (suvaline firmalt Bellaoggi) ja huulepliiats (Oriflame Wonder Colour Lip Liner toonis Vibrant Pink).

Kas sa kannad igapäevaselt meigikotti kaasas? Millised on sinu asendamatud iluvidinad?

Haul: few things from Germany

I spent last weekend in Germany in the lovely and beautiful city of Hamburg :)
And of course I couldn't walk past their beauty shops and get few things.
I have come to a point where I actually don't NEED anything so this time I was modest with my haul :)
From one of the largest beauty shops called Douglas I got two things from NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk which I thought would become handy while doing my MUA work and Butter Gloss Lipgloss in Peaches and Cream. The colour is very bright so it's more suitable for summer but if applied sheer I can get away with it even now during autumn :)
From another shop in Billstedt-Center I finally got my hands on Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer in shade 03 Fair. I haven't seen it in our local shops and since half of Youtube raves about it, I had to grab it. Unfortunately my first impressions are not super good but we'll see.
I also thought that trying out Essence Liquid Lipstick in shade 02 Beauty Secret would be interesting plus the shade is spot on for autumn :) 
Veetsin eelmise nädalavahetuse Saksamaal, võluvas linnas Hamburg ning otse loomulikult ei saanud ma kosmeetikapoodidest lihtsalt mööda kõndida :)
Õnneks olen jõudnud punkti, kus mul otseselt midagi VAJA ei ole ja seega olin oma ostudega üsna tagasihoidlik :)
Ilukaupluste ketist Douglas soetasin kaks NYX toodet - Jumbo Eye Pencil lauvärvipliiatsi toonis Milk (5.99€), mida plaanin kasutada oma jumestajatöödes. Butter Gloss huuleläige toonis Peaches and Cream (6.99€) on ere ja suvine läige kuid saan seda ka praegu kanda kui lisan huuletele õhukese kihi värvi.
Billstedt-Center kaubanduskeskusest rabasin kaasa Maybelline Instant Age Rewind peitekreemi toonis 03 Fair (9.99€), mida Youtube'is väga kiidetakse kuid minu esmamuljed pole siiski nii positiivsed kui ootasin :)
Essence Liquid Lipstick vedel huulepulk toonis 02 Beauty Secret (2.49€) tundus põnev ja toon ka sügisele sobiv. Kui mu mälu mind ei peta, siis peaks need ka meil Selverites müügil olema :)

SACHAJUAN Leave In Conditioner

I have never used leave in conditioners because my hair roots get greasy very fast and I always thought that leave in conditioners will make it even worse.

This summer I got my hands on two SACHAJUAN products and will now give you my opinion on the first one :)

SACHAJUAN Leave In Conditioner comes in a 250ml spray bottle and you should use it on washed and towel-dried hair. As the name suggest, you don't have to rinse it out.

Even though the description of this product says that it also helps to keep your scalp healthy I haven't yet sprayed it directly to my roots but a few centimetres lower. The smell of it is very unisex which makes it great both for men and women to use.

The greatest thing about this conditioner is that it detangles very well and my hair feels super soft after using it. I also get a lot of compliments from people who ask if I just got a fresh haircut. That makes me think that my hair looks healthy and have the appearance as if I just came out of the salon :)

That means that I really like this conditioner and haven't used anything else for a few weeks now :)

Have you heard of this brand and conditioner before? Have you tried it?
Which leave in conditioners would you suggest?



Ma pole kunagi olnud suuremat sorti juustessejäetavate palsamite huviline, sest mu juuksejuured muutuvad kiiresti rasuseks ja ma olen alati arvanud, et sellised tooted kiirendavad seda ebameeldivat protsessi veelgi.

Sel suvel sain Rootsi brändi SACHAJUAN kahe toote omanikuks ning räägin kõigepealt esimese toote esmamuljest.

Nagu ka nimi ütleb, tuleb seda toodet kanda pestud ja rätikukuivadesse juustesse. Välja pesema seda ei pea. Palsam on 250ml suuruses pihustiga pudelis ning lõhnab väga "sooneutraalselt", mistõttu sobib edukalt nii meestele kui naistele. Minul kulub kogu peale 6-8 pihustivajutust, mida on äärmiselt vähe. 

Mu juuksed on pärast selle palsami kasutamist väga kergesti kammitavad ning ülipehmed. Samuti saan palju komplimente stiilis "kas oled äsja juuksurist tulnud". Seega tundub, et palsam annab juustele ka terve ja hästi hooldatud välimuse :)

Olen selle palsamiga väga rahul ja polegi viimased paar nädalat midagi muud oma juustel kasutanud :)
Eestisse saab seda palsamit tellida Feelunique e-poest SIIT.

Kas oled sedasorti palsameid proovinud?
Milline on sinu lemmik?

Review: Kiehl's for eyes

Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram know that about 3 weeks ago I went to our local Kiehl's counter to get a few things and as per usual, I came back with loads of samples as well :)

Today I want to tell you about two products that I instantly fell in love with :)

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - I wanted to get my hands on this eye cream for a very long time and I'm happy I finally did. It is a very creamy and moisturising eye treatment that will keep your delicate eye area super moisturised and will make your fine lines a lot less visible. The magic trick of this product is that you have to pat it in with your ring finger instead of rubbing it back and forth for it to sink in. 
I use a thicker layer at night and a small amount in the morning. I will let it sit for few minutes and that way it'll keep my eye area moisturised and nourished through out the day and will work very well under makeup.
I would especially recommend it for ladies in their 30s and up and to those that like to use a heavy coverage concealer around the eyes :)

Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector SPF 30 - I think the best way to describe this product would be a corrector for your dark under-eye circles that will neutralise the blue/purple skin tone. You only need a sesame seed size drop of this cream to cover both your under-eyes. Please bear in mind that this is not a concealer but a product that will help neutralise the dark tones. 
I put it on first, then apply my foundation and if needed apply concealer on top. It also works well on top of foundation.
By the way, on weekends, this dark circle perfector is enough coverage for me because I like to rock the no-makeup-makeup look at that time and don't even bother with concealer :)
I got the sample of this product and by the look of it I'm gonna go and purchase a full size :)

:)(:


Need, kes jälgivad mind Facebook'is ja Instagram'is teavad, et paar nädalat tagasi käisin ma Tallinna Kaubamaja Kiehl'si letis mõnd asja soetamas ja ühtlasi ka uurimas, mis uudist :)

Täna räägin kahest silmaümbruse tootest, mis koheselt mu südame võitsid ja jäävad nüüdsest minu truuks kaaslaseks ka edaspidi :)

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - seda avokaadoga niisutavat silmakreemi tahtsin ma juba ammu proovida ja mul on väga hea meel, et see mul nüüd olemas on. See on ülimalt niisutav kreem, mis muudab peened kortsud vähem märgatavaks ja toidab rikkalikult õrna silmaümbruse nahka. Õhtuti kannan seda kreemi paksema kihina ning hommikuti kõigest nööpnõelapea suuruse tilga. Selliselt toimib see hästi ka meigi all. Tähtis on seda kreemi mitte silmade ümbrusesse hõõruda vaid õrnalt tupsutada, selliselt imendub see koheselt.
Eriti soovitan seda niisutavat silmakreemi 30+ daamidele ning neile, kes armastavad tihkemat peitekreemi silmade all kasutada. 

Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector SPF 30 - parim viis selle toote kirjeldamiseks oleks korrektor. Tegemist pole kindlasti peitekreemiga vaid tootega, mis neutraliseerib tumedad rõngad silmade all. Mina kasutan seda esimese sammuna oma meigis - piisab seesamiseemne suurusest kogusest, et katta mõlemad silmaalused. Seejärel kannan nahale jumestuskreemi ja kui tunnen vajadust, alles siis peitekreemi.
Muide, nädalavahetustel kui ma üldiselt kannan võimalikult naturaalset meiki, piisab sellest korrektorist mulle täielikult, et peita tumedaid silmaaluseid :)
Hetkel on mul olemas vaid tester kuid olen enam kui kindel, et lähen õige pea täissuuruses toodet ostma ning et sellest saab minu kosmeetikakotis pikaaegne must-have!

STENDERS Wild Rose

Few months ago STENDERS, a Latvian origin natural cosmetic brand offered me to try some of their new Wild Rose products.
I was really surprised to find three full size products in my goodie bag plus a handful of samples.
I was a bit hesitant at first because I am not usually a big fan of rose scents but luckily these products doesn't smell like the typical cheap chemical rose stuff but are very mild and pleasant to my nose :D

I like the micellar water and think that it would be a great gift for someone who can appreciate natural products :)
The hydrating facial gel is very suitable for younger skin and during warm seasons because it's very light yet moisturising and is great under makeup.

One of my favourites from the bunch is the eye and lip makeup remover which is a dual-fase product - it has oil in it which means you need to shake it well before using it and it will remove all of your eye makeup including a heavy smokey eye. Really love it :)

But the gem of this range that I didn't even get a full size of is Stenders' Gentle facial exfoliator which I went and bought full size :)
In my goodie bag I got two samples of this exfoliator and after using it once I was hooked. This product reminds me of acid exfoliator which means that I can't see or feel any exfoliating particles but somehow after rubbing this gel on my face for a few seconds all the dead skin cells start to roll off my face. It looks gross and feels funny but believe me, the result is amazing - my face feels really soft and my skin radiates after using it!

So if I have to recommend only one product from this whole range I would suggest you run and get the exfoliator! I don't think I will use any other scrub on my face in the near future :)

Oh, and by the way, can we please appreciate the packaging? I love the pump system of their products - I feel that none of the product goes to waste :)


Paar kuud tagasi sain STENDERS'ilt kingituseks nende uue Metsiku Roosi sarja tooteid.
Suur oli mu üllatus kui kingikotis oli kolm täissuuruses toodet ja peotäis testreid! :)
Ma pole suuremat sorti roosilõhnaliste toodete fänn, sest tihtilugu lõhnavad need liiga magusalt ja keemiliselt. Stenders'i Metsiku Roosi sarja tooted seevastu on õrna lillelise aroomiga, mis minu tundlikule ninale vägagi sobib :)


Mitsellaarvesi teeb oma tööd hästi ja on kindlasti luksuslik kingitus inimesele, kes hindab loodulikku koostist.
Niisutav näogeel sobib ka nooremale nahale just oma kerguse poolest ning soojemal aastaajal. Olles samaaegselt niisutav kuid kiiresti imenduv, sobib see hästi meigi alla :)

Üks minu lemmikutest sellest sarjast on silma- ja huulekosmeetika eemaldamise vahend, mis on kahefaasiline, st et sisaldab endas ka õli. Seda toodet tuleb kõigepealt päris korralikult raputada ning seejärel eemaldab see ka kõige tugevama suitsusilma kiirelt ja kergelt.

Terve sarja absoluutne lemmik on minu jaoks aga hoopis Õrnalt puhastav näokoorija. Minu kingikotis oli selle toote kaks sämplit ja pärast esimese proovimist teadsin, et lähen täissuuruses toodet ostma!
Oma olemuselt meenutab see koorija hoopis happekoorijat, sest pole ei näha ega tunda mingeid koorivaid "graanuleid". Pärast seda kui olen geeli mõned sekundid nahal hõõrunud, hakkab kui imeväel nahalt kooruma surnud naharakke. Kogu see protsess on ühtaegu nii jäle kui ka lõbus ning tulemuseks on siidpehme ja kiirgav näonahk!
Mul on tunne, et see näokoorija jääb minuga päris pikaks ajaks :)

Muuseas, Stenders'i toodetel on ülilahedad pakendid! Sellist pumpa pole ma teistel brändidel eriti tihti kohanud :)

Caudalie Divine Oil

Caudalie's Divine Oil is almost the only product I've been using for moisturising my body for over a month.
This dry oil absorbs very quickly, smells divine :), makes my skin look airbrushed and makes it thoroughly moisturised for a very long time. It's a multi-use oil that you can use on your body, hair, nails and for massage.
This Divine Oil has plenty of nourishing oils in it - argan, grape, hibiscus and sesame oil.
It comes in a very convenient spray bottle (50ml and 100ml) which is the best applicator for oils in my opinion.

If you have some money to splurge on yourself try this luxurious universal oil and your skin will thank you for it :)

I know that Caudalie's Beauty Elixir is a cult favourite and I've been keeping an eye on it for a while :)
Have you tried any of Caudalie's products and how do you like them?



Caudalie Divine Oil ehk taevalik õli nagu nad seda ise nimetavad on põhimõtteliselt ainus toode, mida olen rohkem kui kuu aja jooksul oma keha niisutamiseks kasutanud.
Selles õlis on 60% ulatuses puhast argaania, viinamarjaseemne, hibiski ja seesamõli.
Tegemist on nn kuiva õliga, mis imendub sekunditega nahka ja jätab selle ülimalt niisutatuks väga pikaks ajaks. Ühtlasi saab seda õli kasutada ka juustel, küüntel ning massažiks.
Märkimata ei saa jätta ka selle õli unikaalset ja väga meeldivat aroomi, mis jääb nahale väga pikaks ajaks :) Lisaks on õli pakendatud pihustiga pudelisse (50ml ja 100ml), mis teeb selle kasutamise väga mugavaks.

Eestisse saab seda õli tellida Feelunique veebipoe kaudu.

Lisaks on maailmas väga kiidetud ka Caudalie Beauty Elixir, näosprei, mida tuleks kasutada enne näokreemi ning vajadusel kogu päeva jooksul. Olen sellel juba pikka aega silma peal hoidnud :)

Kas oled mõnda Caudalie toodet proovinud? Kuidas meeldib?

Birthday GIVEAWAY swatches

I hope all of you already know that I'm having an international GIVEAWAY for my lovely readers which is open internationally and will end on September 5th :) Thank you to all who have entered already :)
Just in case you are still hesitating wether you should enter or not, I will show you, what's inside the goodie bag :)

The gem of this giveaway is Makeup Revolution London Eyes Like Angels 32 eyeshadow palette - you will get a very nice variety of mattes and shimmers, nudes/neutrals and bright colours (I'm sorry I don't have the real life swatches but I just didn't want to open and ruin the packaging).
You can see more HERE. I have heard a lot of positive reviews on MUR products and I would like to get feedback from my winner about these eyeshadows :)
The I Heart Makeup Eye Primer in Stay Don't Stray is a skin coloured cream that comes in a squeeze tube. Very convenient ;)
And as I've always said - even the cheapest eyeshadow will stay on for ages if you use a good primer :)
The MUR lipstick in The One should be described as a perfect nude that's not too pink and not too brown.
The lipstick in shade Ruby is a cool toned classic red which will give you a perfect Marilyn Monroe look :)
These lipsticks are very moisturising and comfortable on the lips and what's good is that it doesn't bleed :)
Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask is one of my favourites which I reviewed HERE.

P.S. Don't worry, I swatched my own products. The winner will get unopened ones :)

Ma loodan, et sa juba tead, et blogis on käimas rahvusvaheline sünnipäeva KINGILOOS, millest saab osa võtta 5. septembrini :) Aitäh kõigile, kes juba loosist osa võtavad :)

Mõtlesin nüüd täpsemalt näidata, millised tooted on auhinnaloosis :)

Makeup Revolution London 32 tooniga Eyes Like Angels lauvärvipaletis on suur valik matte ja sädelevaid neutraalseid ning erksaid lauvärve, millest igaüks leiab oma lemmiku :)
Kuna ma ei tahtnud pakki avada, siis näed värvinäidiseid hoopis SIIT.
I Heart Makeup Eye Primer lauvärvi aluskreem on matt nahatooni kreem, mis aitab lauvärvil terve päeva jooksul veatuna püsida. Ma olen alati öelnud, et ka kõige odavama lauvärvi saab kauapüsivaks muuta kasutades head primer'it :)
Makeup Revolution London huulepulk toonis The One on täiuslik nahatooni huulepulk, mis pole liiga roosa ega liiga pruun. Huulepulk toonis Ruby on klassikaline punane, millega saad tekitada meela Marilyn Monroe musisuu :)
Avon Clearskin mustade mineraalidega maskist kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. :)

Makeup Revolution kodulehelt saab tooteid edukalt tellida ka Eestisse :)

P.S. Värvinäidiste tegemisel kasutasin isiklikke tooteid, võitja saab loomulikult avamata ja pakendites kosmeetikumid :)

Wishlist: MAC

I have never been a big fan of MAC products because I've tried only four products from this brand before - brush cleanser, paint pot in Soft Ochre, Select SPF 15 Foundation and Select Moisturecover Concealer.
I didn't like Soft Ochre as an eyeshadow primer as much as other similar products and I traded my foundation and concealer for a Chanel foundation with a friend because they didn't perform as good as I'd hoped for.

Clearly four products is not enough to make a conclusion and there are still some of the things I will soon go to check out at our local MAC counter :)

Loose pigment in shade Melon - this product has been in my wish list once before and numerous Youtube tutorials I've watched make me even more curious to see if it's as gorgeous in real life as it is in the videos. Although I find loose pigments very messy, this one's been haunting me for far too long to just give up :)
Retro Matte lipstick in Relentlessly Red - another item I discovered via Youtube. It seems to be more on the pinkier side of red that usually suits me very well :)
Prep + Prime Fix + - all kinds of makeup setting sprays and face mists seem to be my next obsession so of course this cult favourite made it to the list :)
Brush Cleanser - it is by far the best product I've used among all to clean my makeup brushes. I have used up two bottles of it so far. Also, this product is very good value for money which will last you a very long time :)

Have you tried any of these products?
Do you have a favourite MAC product you'd strongly suggest?
:)(:


Mul on brändiga MAC alati olnud vastakad tunded. Suurem osa ilumaailmast kummardab selle poole kuid minu kogemused pole alati olnud just jalustrabavad. Seni olen proovinud nende pintslipuhastajat, paint pot'i toonis Soft Ochre, Select SPF 15 jumestuskreemi ja Select Moisturecover peitekreemi. Soft Ochre'it kiidetakse kui ülihead lauvärvi aluskreemi - minu jaoks aga pole see parem kui teised selletaolised tooted. Select jumestuskreemi ja peitekreemi vahetasin sõbranna Chanel jumestuskreemi vastu, sest need lihtsalt ei vastanud mu ootustele.
Loomulikult pole neli proovitud toodet põhjuseks kogu MAC'i toodang maha kanda ning ilufanaatikuna on mulle aja jooksul mitu toodet silma jäänud. Seega võib üsna pea mind Tallinna Kaubamaja MAC'i letis luuramas näha :)

Pigment toonis Melon - see toode on ka kord varem minu soovide nimekirjas olnud ning arvukad Youtube meigiõpetused pole uudishimu selle vastu vähendanud. Kuigi nn pulberlauvärvid on minu jaoks üsna ebamugavad, on Melon mind liiga kaua kummitanud, et lihtsalt käega lüüa :)
Retro Matte huulepulk toonis Relentlessly Red - järjekordne toode, mille avastasin "tänu" YT videotele. See tundub olema roosaka alatooniga punane, mis üldjuhul mulle sobib :)
Prep + Prime Fix + - igasugused meigikinnitus- ja näospreid on minu viimase aja kinnisideed, seega ülimalt kiidetud Fix + on kindlasti toode, mida tahaksin proovida. Sisaldades ohtralt kasulikke toimeaineid sobib see nii näonaha niisutamiseks kui värskendamiseks. Ühtlasi kui oled liiga palju kosmeetikat näole kuhjanud, aitab see sprei meigil nahka sulanduda ja selle kaunilt kumavaks muuta :)
Pintslipuhastaja - seda olen juba kaks pudelit ära kasutanud ja kõigist meigipintslite puhastusvahenditest, mida kasutanud olen, on see kõige efektiivsem. Ühtlasi on hinna ja kvaliteedi suhe vägagi paigas ning sellest pudelist jagub väga pikaks ajaks :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?
Kas sinu meigiarsenali hulgas on mõni MAC'i toode, mida kindlasti julgeksid soovitada?

Perfect Eyeshadow Palette for Fall - Sleek Sunset

Slowly and inevitably fall is coming upon us :)
Fall is one of my favourite seasons for its beautiful variety of colours and there's something so comforting in wearing warm jumpers and scarfs and burning scented candles.

I recently dug out one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes from Sleek - their gorgeous Sunset palette that has 12 warm-toned shadows in it. You will get 11 metallic shades and one matte shade which is black. This palette comes with a large mirror and double-ended sponge applicator. 
I have five palettes from Sleek so that should be proof enough that the quality is very high.

The pigmentation of these is just perfect. These swatches are made without a primer. I would say that the black and the light blue are the ones least pigmented but will perform very well if you use an eyeshadow primer.
Also, there will be fallout so make sure you tap off any excess on your brush and maybe even do your eye makeup first and follow with the rest of your face.

These eyeshadows will look good on every eye and skin tone but they will especially make blue and grey eyes pop and look really bright. I always get compliments when I'm wearing these eyeshadows.

You can get this gorgeous palette for just 10.49€ HERE.
So if you are a fan of warm coppers and orange tones, I strongly suggest you take a look at it :)

swatches are made using two different cameras without using a primer
Sügisehõngu on õhus tunda ja pean tunnistama, et ootan sügist juba väga - soojade sallide ja kampsunite kandmises ning lõhnaküünalde põletamises on midagi väga lohutavat :)

Hiljuti võtsin sahtlist välja ühe oma kõige suurema lemmiku kõigist oma viiest Sleek lauvärvipaletist - Sunset ehk päikeseloojangu paleti.
Soojad punakad ja oranžid toonid on just sobilikud sügisesse :)

Paletis on kaksteist imeilusat tooni, millest 11 on metallikud ehk väga sädelevad ja üks must on matt.
Lauvärvid on ülimalt pigmenteeritud, vaid must ja helesinine vajavad kindlasti enda alla lauvärvi aluskreemi. Pean hoiatama, et need lauvärvid veidi ka pudisevad silma alla, seega on väga oluline pintslilt ülejääk maha raputada ning võib-olla oleks isegi mõistlik silmameik kõigepealt ära teha ja alles siis ülejäänud nägu :)

Need toonid sobivad iga silma- ja nahavärviga kuid eriti erksaks teevad need lauvärvid sinised ja hallid silmad. Ma saan alati väga palju komplimente kui neid lauvärve kannan :)

Seega kui oled soojade punakate ja oranžide toonide armastaja, nagu mina, saad selle paleti endale soetada kas Sleek'i enda kodulehelt või kodumaisest veebipoest Levelzone :)

Muide, värvinäidised fotol on tehtud kahe erineva fotokaga ja ilma lauväri aluskreemita :)

Did you know? #4 DYI Natural Universal Cleaner

I was cleaning my bathroom the other day and thought I'd use up some of the half empty cleaning product bottles I have at home.
So I was vigorously spraying my tiles with the chemical cleaner and I almost choked on the fumes. Plus they gave me head ache and my house was stinking for hours even after I washed it off.

Did you know that there is a natural way of cleaning your house using products you usually have at home that are all natural and non-toxic?

Here's the recipe for an all purpose natural cleaner that's safe and effective:
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup of baking soda
1/4 cup of lemon juice
(few drops of essential oil for fragrance)
spray bottle

Mix vinegar and lemon juice in the spray bottle, in the other cup mix water and baking soda.
Add to the spray bottle and mix (it will be bubbly :) ). 
Now add few drops of essential oil and and clean away :)

Let me know if you've tried it and what do you think of it :)

pic from here
Paar päeva tagasi võtsin ette vannitoa koristuse ning kokkuhoidliku inimesena otsustasin lõpuni kasutada poolikud kodukeemia pudelid. Pihustasin siis ohtralt üht levinumat vannitoa puhastusvahendit oma pesuruumi ning pidin sellest keemiaaurust peaaegu ära lämbuma. Lisaks hakkas mu pea valutama ning jube keemiahais levis korteris veel tunde pärast selle mahaloputamist.

Kas teadsid, et on täiesti võimalik segada ise kokku universaalne puhastusvahend ainetest, mis on tavaliselt kodudes olemas ning mis on tervisele kahjutud ning samas efektiivsed?

Siin on retsept:
1 klaas vett
1/2 klaasi äädikat
1/4 klaasi soodat
1/4 klaasi sidrunimahla
(mõni tilk eeterlikku õli lõhnastamiseks)
1 tk pritsiga pudel

Esmalt sega pritsiga pudelis kokku äärikas ja sidrunimahl. Teises anumas sega kokku vesi ja sooda.
Lisa vee ja sooda segu pritsiga pudelisse ja sega (ära ehmata tekkiva mullitamise peale).
Seejärel lisa mõni tilk eeterlikku õli ning asu koristama :)

Anna mulle kindlasti teada kui seda segu proovid ning millised on muljed :)

My face mask collection

If you've been with me for a while you know that lately I've been interested in face masks. So I've been trying out quite a few for over a year already and I think I now know what I like and need from a face mask.

The main thing about face mask for me is that I need to see/feel instant results after using it. If I don't see or feel anything special after using a mask, I'm not going to keep trying it out.
Is it the same for you?

So here are the masks I currently use. I mainly have two types of masks - ones that are suppose to clear out my skin and ones that are soothing/moisturising.
I do have some that I have tried and didn't like so if you'd like me to explain why I didn't like them, leave a comment below.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash/Mask - you can use this product as a daily face wash to help reduce spots or as a face mask to purify and unclog pores. I never use this daily as a face wash because my skin is usually clear and I don't need that kind of active acne treatment so often. But I like to use it as a mask because you only have to keep it on for 5 minutes. It clears my skin and if I have a developing zit, it calms it down and therefore it heals quicker. It can also be used as a spot-treatment. Very nice express mask when you're in a hurry. If you want to know more about this mask, please read Ruth Crilly's (A Model Recommends) blog post on it, she's just so much better in explaining things and this post was the reason I got this mask :)
Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque - this was the first face mask in a very long time that I tried and I instantly fell in love with it. I have a full review on it HERE and it made it to my 2014 favourites. It clears my skin, makes my large pores less visible and is very easy to use. And yes, I still have the old packaging which I actually like more than the new one :)
I got mine from iHerb.com (LINK). If you haven't ordered from iHerb before, use code LWH786 to get up to $10 off your first order.
Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask - seems like this is my current favourite clearing face mask. I wrote a full review on it HERE. I can see and feel instant results with this mask - my skin is clearer and as the previous ones this one also calmed down developing hurtful zits. Love it a lottttttt :)
United Exchange Nu-pore Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Masks - I got it recently in my latest iHerb haul and haven't used it yet but I hear that tissue masks are a cult favourite :) This pack has two masks in it - Fresh Aloe that's firming, moisturising and elasticizing and Cucumber that is moisturising, soothing and purifying. I will let you know how I like them once I've used them. At the moment this product is available at iHerb (LINK) as a trial for only $0.50 (regular price $2.95).
JOIK Radiance Improving Cranberry & Black Currant Face Mask for dull and lifeless skin - I'm not a big fan of masks that I have to mix my own but it's very easy with this one. You just need one spoonful of mask and one spoonful of water or milk/herbal tea/natural yoghurt. It feels nice on the skin, doesn't dry it out, does make it feel cleaner and soft and once it dries it becomes a bit gritty which makes it a great face scrub. 2-in-1 product :)
NOVexpert The Repulp Mask - this is supposed to be express anti-aging care for all skin types. I like to use this mask at winter when my skin is dull, dry and exhausted. I remember that the first time I used this mask last winter I was in awe! My skin loved it so much! Will definitely use it again when the weather gets cold and it's perfect for more mature skin all year round :)
Natura Siberica Active Organics Anti-fatigue face mask - unfortunately I can't find a link to this product. I've used this only once and I haven't made up my mind yet so I will let you know soon. I think that for my combination skin it's more suitable for colder seasons :)
Oriflame Love Nature Restoring Peel-off mask for stressed skin - there is something very satisfying in peeling off this mask. My skin feels hydrated and soft after using it :) Another one that I mainly use during autumn/winter :)

Do you like face masks? Which are your favourite?
:)(:


Viimase aasta jooksul olen ma kokku ostnud päris palju näomaske ja arvan end nüüd teadvat, millised maskid mulle meeldivad ja millised mitte. Üks, mis kindel - kui ma ei näe/tunne kohest efekti pärast maski kasutamist, siis ma rohkem seda ka ei proovi :)

Hetkel on mul kasutuses 8 maski, millest kolm on puhastavad ja ülejäänud rahustavad/niisutavad, mida kasutan enamasti külmematel aastaaegadel.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in1 Wash/Mask - tegemist on kaks ühes tootega, mida saab igapäevaselt kasutada näopuhastuseks või siis harvemini kiirmaskina. Mina seda igapäevaselt ei kasuta, sest mul ei ole nii rasune ega probleemne nahk. Küll aga meeldib mulle seda maskina kasutada kui on arenemas mõni punn või tahaks lihtsalt kiiruga maski seda - nimelt tuleb seda näol hoida vaid 5 minutit. Saadaval enamikes poodides, mina ostsin enda oma Rimist ja maksis see umbes 6 eurot.
Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque - selle maski kohta kirjutasin SIIN. Väga mõnus mask, mis on efektiivne naha ebapuhtustega võitlemisel. Ostsin enda oma iHerb'ist (LINK). Kui sa pole varem iHerb'ist tellinud, kasuta koodi LWH786, et saada oma esimeselt ostult kuni 10$ allahindlust :)
Avon Clearskin mustade mineraalidega mask - siiani minu kõige lemmikum puhastav mask, mille kohta kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. See mask on tihtilugu Avonis soodukaga, mil selle võib kätte saada alla 4 euroga. Hetkel kehtivas kataloogis on see veidi kallim, kuskil 5 euro ringis.
United Exchange Nu-pore Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Masks - selle maski sain oma viimase iHerb'i tellimusega ning proovinud ma seda veel ei ole. Tegemist siis toimeainetega niisutatud kangaga, mida tuleb nahal hoida ja siis eemaldada. Pakis on kaks maski, üks aloega ja teine kurgiga. Annan kindlasti teada, kas tegemist on väärt kraamiga :) Osta saab SIIT kõigest 0.50$ eest.
JOIK Jõhvika ja mustsõstra mask tuhmile ja elutule nahale - muudab naha pehmeks ning maha pestes tekivad justkui väikesed terakesed, mis toimivad ka koorijana. Kaks ühes toode :) Kirjutasin sellest  ka SIIN. Osta saab seda SIIT.
NOVexpert The Repulp Mask - kui ma eelmisel talvel seda taastavat maski esimest korda proovisin, meeldis see mulle väga. Niisutas, muutis naha pehmeks ja rahustas seda. Kindlasti mask, mida just talvisel ajal kasutada ning küpsemas eas daamidele. Osta saab SIIT.
Natura Siberica väsimuse vastane mask - ostsin selle maski oma sõbranna emalt, kes käib neid Venemaalt toomas, seega ei leia ma ka selle maski kohta ei täpset nime ega linki. Proovinud olen seda korra ja ma ei oskagi hetkel seisukohta võtta, kas see mulle meeldib või mitte. Proovin korra veel ja siis on näha :)
Oriflame Love Nature viinamarjadega kilemask - selle maski eemaldamises on midagi nii mõnusat, et just sellepärast meeldib see mulle väga. Nahk on pehme ega kisu pärast selle kasutamist. Kirjutasin sellest veidi ka SIIN. Osta saab SIIT.

Kas oled mõnda neist maskidest proovinud? Milline on sinu lemmikmask?

Did you know? #3 Coconut Oil

I suppose most of the beauty industry will hate me for this post but I wanted to remind you what you can do with a single jar of coconut oil :)

Did you know that coconut oil is so versatile?

You can use it for:
Cooking - you can use it of baking, stir-fry and instead of butter.
Face, eye, lip, hand, cuticle and body moisturiser - just take a small piece of coconut oil, rub it between your fingers and apply. Also suitable for babies and kids :)
Hair oil - again, rub a piece of coconut oil between your fingers and use it to tame frizz or as a hair oil/mask.
Makeup remover - it works wonders as a makeup remover!
Body scrub - use coconut oil and sugar to create a natural scrub for your body.
Oil-pulling - virgin coconut oil tastes good so keeping it in your mouth on an empty stomach for 20 minutes to draw out toxins and improve your oral health tastes a lot better than any other oil which makes the process less inconvenient :)

If you are interested in finding out more about the benefits of coconut oil, check out these websites HERE and HERE.

Kas teadsid, et kui sul on kodus purk kookosõli, siis võid suurema osa oma kosmeetilistest kreemidest/õlidest minema visata?

Kookosõli on ülimalt mitmekülgne toode, mida saab kasutada näiteks:
Toiduks - praadimiseks, küpsetamiseks ning või asemel.
Näo-, silma-, huulte-, käte-, küünenahkade- ja kehakreemina - võta tükike kookosõli, masseeri seda sõrmede vahel ja kanna peale. Sobib ka beebidele ja lastele.
Juukseõli asemel - aitab muuta kahuseid juukseid siledamaks ning sobib kasutada juukseõli ja -maskina.
Meigieemaldajana - võta tükike kookosõli, masseeri sõrmede vahel kuni tekib õli ja eemalda sellega kogu meik. Kiire, lihtne, efektiivne ja mis peamine - looduslik.
Kehakoorijana - võta kookosõli ja suhkur, sega kokku ja koori oma keha. Lisaks efektiivsele koorimisele ei ole pärast vaja nahka lisaks kreemiga niisutada :)

Huvi korral saad SIIT lugeda veel ohtralt kasulikku infot kookosõli kasutusvõimaluste kohta :)
Mina ostsin oma purgi tavalisest toidupoest ja see maksis 10-11€.

Empties #19

Just before I left for my vacation in mid July, I cleaned out some of my makeup, so I got ton of stuff to throw away.
Here's the bunch with my mini reviews :)

Hair, body, face makeup, skincare & perfume
Girlz Only Dry Shampoo XXL Volume-Plus - it's quite good and very affordable dry shampoo that does it's job pretty well regarding making your hair look fresh and clean but I didn't see the XXL volumizing effect. Also it smelled sweet and floral. I would buy it again if I needed one quickly and there were no alternatives in the store ;)
Logona Lemon Balm Balance Shampoo - this is a natural product that's supposed to harmonise unbalanced scalp functions. I got it to tame my greasy roots but for some reason I didn't fall in love with it and didn't see great results. I know that switching to natural haircare takes time but I just didn't have the patience :)
Avon Senses Mood Therapy Revitalising shower gel with acai beer extract - typical body wash that smelled really, really good. Might repurchase when it's on sale again :)
Granny Agafia Body Scrub with buckwheat and milk - I bought this body scrub from my friends' mother who goes to Russia to get them. It smelled like fresh yoghurt and was nice on the skin but nothing that special to travel the world for it :)
Hydraluron - this is a facial moisture boosting serum that has hyaluronic acid in it. My skin loved it and it sank into it within seconds. Also great under makeup. Will definitely repurchase :)
Smashbox Photo Finish and Photo Finish UVA/UVB SPF 15 primer samples - I didn't see any results with these primers. They didn't reduce the appearance of my large pores and didn't keep my skin matte. Don't get what the hype is about :)
Comfort Zone Lip Blooming Scrub - it was so expensive when I bought it but it was literally the only lip scrub at that time in one of the largest department stores we have. And it was totally useless. I was so mad! Do not recommend it at all...
Oriflame The One Everlasting Foundation in Fair Nude - I was a nice foundation with light to medium coverage and if you set it with powder your face will stay matte for like half a day. Might repurchase :)
Giorgio Armani High Precision Retouch concealer in shade #3 - this concealer is more suitable for blemishes and not for under-eye area. I constantly struggle with finding a great under-eye concealer for my dark circles and unfortunately this one didn't do the job.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion sample in Sin - I love UD primer potions but this sample that I got with my Naked3 palette is just tooooooo metallic. It's more like a liquid eyeshadow than a primer.
Ralph by Ralph Lauren - I just love this perfume and would repurchase if I didn't have like 30 opened perfume bottles already. Very fresh and beautiful scent :)


Eyes, lips & nails
Essence Lash&Brow Gel Mascara - to be honest, I didn't like this product because it didn't keep my brow hairs in place. Still in search for a good clear brow gel...
MaxFactor Masterpiece Glamour Extensions 3-in-1 Volumising mascara - MaxFactor is fast becoming my favourite brand for mascara. It gives length and volume, curls my lashes and doesn't smudge. Also, I can wash most of it off with just warm water! Definitely a keeper :)
Bourjois Intuitive Liner - this is a 3-end felt-tip liner that is great to fill in the gaps between eyelashes and also for creating a nice thin line. Unfortunately they discontinued it... I just don't understand why Bourjois did that? I'm very upset that I can't get my hands on it anymore.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in shade 95 Creme Brûlée - I didn't like the shade and formula of this lip butter and I don't feel comfortable passing lip products on to my girlfriends so it finally went to the bin :)
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Transferproof Lip Tint in shade 120 Timeless Tango - this lip products comes in a marker form and has a clear lip balm on the other end. It really stays on for hours but it made my lips sting so I wasn't comfortable using it. Bin material again :)
Oriflame Eternal Gloss in shade ??? - this lip gloss is very sticky but at the same time it stayed on for a very long time. The stickiness was a bit too much for me, so I know I won't be wearing it.
Manhattan Long Lasting Gloss Glide in shade 56G - didn't like the formula of this one also so it was just sitting in my drawer for ages. Now it was time to get rid of it.
Carlo di Roma PURE (black) and L'Oreal Color Riche gel nail polish in 508 Amazon Flower (lighter shade) and 607 Ruf Montmartre (darker shade) - they got old and thick so it was time to throw them away.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - the fastest drying top coat I've ever used which is my holy grail nail product. Unfortunately, once I use up about half a bottle, it becomes too thick to use anymore. Still my favourite and will definitely repurchase :)


Küsimus minu Eesti lugejatele:
kui paljud teist loevad blogi eesti keeles? Kas eesti-keelne tõlge on vajalik?
Kui enamik loeb blogi nagunii inglise keeles, siis kas piisab kui lisan postituse lõppu linke, mille kaudu tooteid Eestis osta või Eestisse tellida saab?
Loomulikult, kui eesti keeles lugejaid on enamus, lisan ka edaspidi igale postitusele eestikeelse teksti.
