Haul: Avon

Happy Saturday!
I received my Avon order yesterday and wanted to show you what I got along with my first impressions :)

I got three products for body: 
Invisible Care Roll-On Anti-Perspirant - I accidentally ripped off the plastic on the cap, so I'm sorry it looks yucky. It's actually one of my beauty pet peeves - I hate broken, ruined and dirty beauty products... :D I haven't yet tried this one, so we'll see how it goes.
I almost ran out of all body wash so I got Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent moisturising shower cream  that has shea butter extract in it. I've used it once, it smells really nice, lathers well and doesn't dry my skin out. I haven't used the Senses Spicy Moroccan Delights shower gel yet but from the bottle it smells really nice and spicy.

I also got some makeup items:
Eye Shadow Primer in light beige - I've used up one pot in the past and I really like it. It's easy to apply, you don't tug your eyelids at all and it makes my eyeshadow last all day. Great product that will now replace my MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre which I'm not a huge fan of.
Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream in shade Nude - I've heard a lot of people saying good things about it, so I wanted to try it. When I first applied it this morning the cream that came out of the tube was almost white. It freaked me out for a second but after I blended it in, it actually matched my skin tone. It doesn't provide a lot of coverage but smoothes out the tone of the skin. It would be perfect under a mineral foundation or a powder that gives some coverage. Anybody interested in a review once I've used it for some time?
Ultra Colour Indulgence lipsticks in Royal Peony and Poppy Pink - these lippies just came out and I, being a lipstick hoarder, of course had to try them immediately :)
I love the slim tubes of them but the scent is really strong and not that nice. The colour pay-off is quite nice and you can wear them sheer or build up to opaque coverage. They feel comfortable on the lips and are quite moisturising. But it feels like they're not very long-lasting.

Have you tried any of these products? Which are your favourites from Avon?

swatches: top Royal Peony, bottom Poppy Pink

Eile sain oma Avoni paki kätte ja tahtsin anda kiire ülevaate oma esmamuljetest :)
Tellisin kolm toodet kehale:
Invisible Care Roll-On Anti-Perspirant - ma pole seda veel proovinud. Käesolevast kataloogist saab selle kätte 99 sendiga kui tellid veel midagi. Kogemata rebisin korgi küljes oleva plastiku ära ja nüüd näeb see pudel jube välja. Ma üldse ei salli kui meigi-/ilutoodete pakendid on kas katki või määrdunud... Ah, olgu, küllap elan üle :D
Kuna dušigeelid olid mul kõik peaaegu otsas, võtsin kaks - Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent dušikreem, milles sheavõi ekstraki. Lõhnab väga hästi, vahutab mõnusalt ja ei kuivata nahka. Senses Spicy Moroccan Delights dušigeeli pole ma veel proovinud kuid ka selle lõhn on mõnus ja vürtsikas.
Maksid kõigest 1.99€ tk.

Meigitoodetest tellisin oma vana lemmiku Eye Shadow Primer lauvärvi aluskreemi toonis Light Beige (4.99€). Olen varasemalt ühe topsi juba ära kasutanud ning see meeldis mulle väga. Saan nüüd lõpuks MAC paint pot'i toonis Soft Ochre ära panna, sest seda ei fänna ma just ülemäära palju :)
Avoni CC kreemist olen palju head kuulnud, nii tellisingi Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream toonis Nude. Tuubist tuleb välja peaaegu valge kreem kuid kui selle nahal ära hajutasin, kohandus see mu nahatooniga. Suurt katvust sellega ei saa kuid nahatooni ühtlustab kenasti. Väga sobilik toode mineraalse meigipõhja või veidi katvama puudri alla. Hinnaks 4.99€. Kas teil oleks huvi põhjalikuma arvutuse vastu kui olen kreemi pikemalt kasutanud? :)
Avon tuli välja uute huulepulkadega - Ultra Colour Indulgence ning kuna ma olen huulepulga-sõltlane, pidin loomulikult need ära proovima. Tellisin toonid Royal Peony ja Poppy Pink. Mulle meeldivad need kitsad tuubid kuid lõhn on üsna jube. Huulepulka on võimalik nii õrnalt tupsutades kui ka mitu kihti lisades intensiivseks üles ehitada. Huultel on need mugavad ega kuivata huuli. Siiski on mul tunne, et need pole just kõige kauapüsivamad. Hinnaks 3.99€ tk.

Need hinnad kehtivad käesoleva kataloogi lõpuni ehk 11nda veebruarini.

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud? Millised on sinu lemmikud Avonilt?

New perfect perfume found!

Do you remember my post from last autumn where I was on a mission to find a new perfect perfume (here's the post)?
Though I haven't been updating you on my latest tries, I've been testing out plenty of perfumes from my samples stash...
And I have found my next perfect match... or should I say two, because there are two fragrances I cannot get out of my head and now I'm facing a dilemma.
Which one should I choose?

The heroes of today's post are:

REVEAL by Calvin Klein - one of the newest perfumes from Calvin Klein that came out in September 2014. I don't really remember where I got the sample but from the first second of spraying it on me I was hooked! It's woody, powdery and musky which is not what I would usually go for being a fan of fresh cucumber scents. But I think that autumn/winter season was the main reason I was drawn to this perfume. There's just something very warming and soothing in woody and musky scents for me during cold season.
Bvlgari Omnia Coral - this floral, woody and fruity fragrance came out in spring 2012. It has bergamot, water lily and cedar wood in it and again, from the very first spritz from my sample I was sold! 

So... the dilemma is... which one to pick? I love them both equally but CK is pricier because of the novelty and I saw an amazing deal on Bvlgari one in a local online store but now it's all gone...
Here's a tip to all of you - if you see a really good deal on the internet for your desired product - BUY IT- because I'm 100% sure you are not the only one who loves it!

Maybe I should just buy both... one every month and get it over with :D
What do you think?

P.S. If you're interested in my perfume collection, you can check out my top 5 and fall/winter favourites :

Eelmisel aastal võtsin välja oma arvukad parfüümisämplid ja asusin uue lemmiku lõhna otsingutele (postitus SIIN).
Kuigi ma pole seda teemat rohkem puudutanud, olen ma "kulisside taga" detektiivitööga edasi liikunud.
Ja ma leidsin lõpuks oma järgmise täiusliku parfüümi....ainult, et neid on kaks. Ja ma ei suuda otsustada, kumba valida!

Tänase postituse peategelased on:
Calvin Klein REVEAL - see on üks uusimaid CK lõhnu, mis tuli välja eelmise aasta septembris. Selles on puitu, puudrit ja muskust ning isegi soola :) Ma ei mäleta, kust ma selle sämpli sain kuid esimesi sekundeid, mil seda lõhna endale peale piserdasin, mäletan küll suurepäraselt. Ma olin võlutud ja koheselt müüdud!
Bvlgari Omnia Coral - see kaunis lõhn nägi ilmavalgust 2012 aasta kevadel. Selles on bergamoti, vesiroosi, muskust ja seedrit ning ka selle parfüümi esimesest piisast alates teadsin ma, et see lõhn peab minu kollektsioonis olema!

Nüüd siis dilemma - mulle meeldivad mõlemad lõhnad hullupööra! CK on oma uudsuse tõttu kallim ja Bvlgarile oli on24-s suurepärane pakkumine kuid hetkel kui ma seda ostma suundusin, oli toode juba läbi müüdud.
Siit ka minu õpetussõnad - kui sa näed ülihead pakkumist tootele, mida ihaldad, ära oota, sest absoluutselt kindlalt pole sa ainus, kellele see meeldib!

Mida ma nüüd siis teen? Mille valin?
Äkki ma peaks soetama mõlemad? Ühes kuus kummagi?
Mis sa arvad?

Shopping list #1

Hey there, my lovelies :)
I've been wanting some new beauty items for a while now and I thought to create another wish list but then again, there are only few things that I can't afford at the moment, so I'm calling it a shopping list instead :)

Hair:
Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner - I've heard so many good things about these super affordable new Dove products that I'm intrigued to try. Have you tried them and what do you think?
Kerastase V.I.P. volume in powder texturizing spray - well, they say it's the best so I, who constantly struggles to get some volume in my hair, just have to try it :)
COLAB dry shampoo - I love Ruth Crilly and I love dry shampoo. And since this one claims to be invisible, I'd like to try it :)

Makeup:
EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation - a foundation especially designed for olive skin tones and also people praise it a lot, so of course I'd like to try it out :)
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet - it's one of the favourites of above mentioned Ruth Crilly and I trust her opinion, so I'd like to see how it does on my skin :)
BeYu Soft Liner - I created a perfect smoky eye for my friend using just this liner and one eyeshadow. The liner is so soft and creamy and blends like a dream! Plus once it sets, it's not moving. I am deeply impressed!

Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts on them?
:)(:



Otsustasin sel korral oma soovinimekirja hoopis ostunimekirjaks ristida, sest selles nimistus on vaid paar asja, millele rahakott hetkel keeldub avanemast. Suurem osa on, õnneks, tasukohasemad "vajadused" :)

Juuksed:
Dove Oxygen Moisture šampoon ja palsam - internet on kiitvaid arvustusi täis ja kuna hind ka 5€ kanti (eile Slveris), siis miks mitte proovida :)
Kerastase V.I.P. volume in powder - väidetavalt üks parimaid tooteid juustele tekstuuri ja kohevuse andmiseks ja mina, kel on pidev häda raskete ja ludus juustega, vajan seda kindlasti oma ellu :)
Kerastase tooteid müüvad näiteks Levelzone ja Iludus.ee aga seda konkreetset toodet hetkel müügis pole.
COLAB dry shampoo kuivšampoon - sell kuivšampooni kaaslooja on briti model Ruth Crilly, kelle blogi loen pea igapäevaselt ning kelle YT kanalil olen tihe külaline. Väidetavalt ei jäta see kuivšampoon valget kihti juustele, seega tahan ilmtingimata selle ära proovida. Tellida tuleb internetist, sest meil seda ei müüda.

Meik:
EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation - spetsiaalselt oliivitooni nahale mõeldud jumestuskreem, mis väidetavalt on ka ülihea. Tuleb siis ju järgi proovida :) 
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet jumestuskreem - see on ülalmainitud Ruth Crilly üks lemmikumaid jumestuskreeme ning kuna ma tema arvamust usaldan, siis tahaksin, et vähemalt minu sünnipäeva kingikotis see kreemituub peituks :)
BeYu Soft Eye Pencil silmapliiats - tegin sõbrannale selle ühe pliiatsi ja ühe lauvärvi abil perfektse suitsusilma. See pliiats on imepehme, kreemjas, seda on kerge hajutada ning kui see on kuivanud, ei liigu see enam mitte kuhugi. Ma olen vaimustuses! Kindlasti on need müügil Ideaalkosmeetikas kuid kas veel kuskil?

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud? Mille järele tasub poodi lipata?

Favourites of 2014

Long time no see, my dear readers!
I hope you are all doing well :)
Though I'm a little late with my overview of favourite products of 2014 I hope you don't mind finding it out now :)

Let's start with makeup and especially eyes :)

Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette - perfect for those who prefer matte eyeshadows because there's 5 matte shades out of 7. These shadows are great quality and I could easily go for a long time using just this one palette :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette #796 Cuir Cannage - four gorgeous shimmery shades with a neutral matte brown shade for blending. Perfect both for day and night :) And of course - the quality is also magnificent :)

e.l.f. Studio Prism Eyeshadow Palette in Naked - if you love shimmery eyeshadows, this $10 palette is just for you. I'm amazed by the quality of these shadows and I often reach for it when I need to quickly slap something on :)

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in #25 Slate - this cream shadow is just the best! Either as a base or on it's own, it works perfect both ways. Love it!!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in shade Coffee - I love to fill in the gaps between my lashes to make them look fuller and this dark brown looks like black but less harsh. Plus it costs just $1!!!!!

MaxFactor Masterpiece MAX Mascara - this one might be even better than my favourites from L'Oreal. I especially loved the fact that I didn't have to curl my lashes because this mascara did it for me. Great, great mascara!

Let's move on to face makeup :)

Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in #40 Don't Let Me Brow'n - this is a perfect colour match for my eyebrows and it doesn't have any red in it. It stays on whole day and has brush with it which makes it fast a very convenient. Plus it's super affordable :)

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup - I have a full review on it here. It's truly long-wearing and also leaves my skin matte for a very long time. I use it on days I need to look flawless for a long time. Love it!

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautyfying BB Cream - you can find my review here. I use it on days when I'm in a hurry and need to even out my skin in just seconds. Great product!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light2 Vanilla - this is the BEST concealer I've ever tried. I just can't believe how well it covers my dark circles! Also it's a great highlighter that blends seamlessly!

L'Oreal True Match Minerals Foundation - my review here. I love that the application is fast and easy and the coverage is very good. I especially loved it during summer :)

Sleek Blush by 3 in Pink Lemonade - I got this blush palette in July last year and have been using the middle cream blush every day since. I'm addicted!


Skincare is next :)

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque - by far the best and easiest face mask I've tried last year. When my tube gets empty, I'll run out and get a new one :) My review is here.

JOIK Silky Facial Serum with Cranberry Seed Oil - whenever I apply this serum, my skin just purrs with delight :) Though it's an oil, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin nourished and soft :) Review here.

Lirene Last Minute Body BB - they call it body makeup :) I never fry myself in the sun so I go around looking pale and slightly bluish even during summer. In order not to scare people, I slap this tinted moisturiser on my body and it gives my skin a healthy slightly tanned look. Comes in two shades :)


Last but not least I have three favourite online shops where I've left quite a lot of money last year :)
First it's iHerb where I get my e.l.f., Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque and plenty of other natural products. The packages arrive in two weeks and I haven't yet had any problems with my purchases.
If you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using my code LWH786 you can save up to $10 on your first order.

Next is DOROTHY PERKINS where I've found a lot of affordable shoes, boots and clothes. They have both Tall and Petite sections which is always a bonus. Plus their sales are mind-blowing :)

Levelzone is a local beauty boutique that has a lot of great deals and a large variety of beauty and hair-care products. Delivery is overnight and the prices are better than in regular stores :)

Thank you for reading :)

******

Väikese hilinemisega panin nüüd ritta oma eelmise aasta lemmikud.

Alustame silmadest :)
Kõigepealt kolm läuvärvipaletti, millest igaüks suudab mu vajadused täielikult rahuldada pikaks ajaks. Mattide lauvärvide austajale meeldib kindlasti Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette lauvärvipalett, kus seitsmest toonist on matid lausa 5. Kasutan vasakult kolmandat tooni igapäevaselt koopajoonel ja hajutamiseks. Diori 5 Couleurs palett toonis 796 Cuir Cannage sisaldab nelja kaunilt kumavat sädelevat tooni ning üht matti pruuni hajutamiseks. Selle paleti võtan endaga kaasa lühematele sõitudele, sest sellega saavutab kerge vaevaga nii tagasihoidliku päeva- kui ka glamuurse õhtumeigi. Kvaliteet on mõistagi väga hea.
Soodsamatest palettidest on minu vaieldamatu lemmik e.l.f. Studio Prism palett toonis Naked, milles on kaunilt sädelevad pruunikad toonid, mida on lihtne peale kanda ning hajutada.
Kreemjatest lauvärvidest tegi võidukäigu Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow toonis 25 Slate. Töötab suurepäraselt nii lauvärvi kui aluskreemina. Kasutan seda päevil, mil on kiire või olen laisk ja on vaja kiirelt näkku veidi elu tekitada :)
e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner silmalainer toonis Coffee on tumepruun või peaaegu musta värvi lainer, mille ülipeen pintsel aitab suurepäraselt ripsmete vahele pääseda, et tekitada lopsakamate ripsmete efekti. Lisaks maksab kõigest dollar!
Ripsmetuššidest meelis eelmisel aastal enim MaxFactor Masterpiece MAX, mida kasutades ei vajanud ma koolutajat. Sellest võib saada suur ja tugev konkurent minu lemmikutele L'Orealilt :)

Catrice Eye Brow Stylist kulmupliiats toonis 40 Don't Let Me Brow'n on parim kulmutoode läbi aegade. Selles pole kübetki punast pigmenti, pliiatsi otsas olev hari teeb selle kasutamise kiireks ja mugavaks. Lisaks on hind väga soodne :)
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup jumestuskreemist kirjutasin pikemalt siin. Kauakestev, matt ja veatu tulemus püsib pikki tunde.
Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream ühtlustab kiirelt nahatooni ning kasutan seda neil päevil kui on vaja ülikiirelt hea välja näha :) Arvustuse leiad siit.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer peitekreem toonis Light2 Vanilla on parim peitekreem minu lilladele silmaalustele. See on tihke ja kreemjas, katab suurepäraselt, püsib kaua ning seda on lihtne hajutada. Lihtsalt suurepärane!
L'Oreal True Match Minerals mineraalne meigipõhi oli minu parim sõber just suvisel ajal. Kire ja lihtne pealekandmine ning suurepärane katvus ning püsivus teevad sellest kindla lemmiku. Arvustus siin.
Sleek Blush By 3 põsepunapaletist toonis Pink Lemonade olen keskmist kreemjat põsepuna kasutanud iga päev alates hetkest kui selle paleti omanikuks sain. Püsib kaua, toon on kaunis nii suvel kui talvel ja pealekandmine on lihtne nii sõrmede kui pintsliga :)

Nahahooldusest jäid eelmisel aastal silma Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque, mis on üks paremaid maske, mida kasutanud olen. Lisaks ka fakt, et mask on tuubis, teeb selle kasutamise väga mugavaks. Arvustus siin.
JOIK Siidine näoseerum jõhvikaseemne õliga on hiljutine avastus ning sai kiirelt asendamatuks minu õhtuses iluhoolduses. Nahk on seda kasutades pehme ja prink ning kuigi tegemis on õliga, imendub see sekunditega :) Arvustuse leiad siit.
Kehatoodetest meeldis enim Lirene Last Minute Body BB kreem, mis on toonitud kreem kehale. Kasutasin seda suvel oma kehale jume andmiseks. Kaunima tooniga naha saavutasin vaid minutitega. Saadaval kahes toonis.

Minu lemmikud veebipoed, kuhu eelmisel aastal palju raha jätsin olid:
iHerb, kust tellin e.l.f. ja teisi looduslikumaid tooteid väga hea hinnaga;
Dorothy Perkins, kust leiab hea hinnaga riideid ja jalatseid ning nende soodukad on täiesti fantastilised ja Levelzone, kus on samuti palju hea hinnaga ilukaupa ning ka sooduskampaaniad on vägagi ahvatlevad :)
