Body moisturisers currently in use

I have never been an exemplary body moisturiser but somehow lately it has changed a lot.

I have two main properties that a moisturiser has to have in order for me to use it - first it has to be fast absorbing and second it has to smell really good.

At the moment I have four body products in rotation, each one for different occasion :)

First off there's a body milk from a Russian company Chistaya Liniya. I have their body milk with sea buckthorn and cowberry juice that smells really fresh and is fast absorbing. I have this tube in my gym bag and use it frequently after a work-out or pool or weekend getaways. 

Next there's the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream that I have a separate review about HERE . I pair this body cream with my recent purchase  - Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cherry Blossom perfume. I think they compliment each other very well and make me smell good the entire day :)

Then there's the most ordinary Rich Moisture Family Cream from Avon. I use this light body cream at night before going to bed because it's really fast absorbing. I wouldn't say that it's a cream I would use for the whole family - it smells a bit too strong which makes me cautious about using it on my daughter. But for me it's nice and I can literally jump between the sheets seconds after applying it.

Last but not least is funnily enough my favourite  - The Body Shop Smoky Poppy Body Butter.

I never used to like body butters because the ones I've tried (included the one from TBS) didn't absorb fast enough and some felt sticky even in the morning although I applied the body butter last night. But this one absorbs quite fast and in about 10 minutes I can pull on jeans. Plus it smells so fine! It does smell like smoke and musk and something that's more suitable for a "grown-up" woman. The scent lingers on the body all day and I like to pair it with my Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe Cologne. I would actually consider buying the Smoky Poppy eau de toilette too :)

How many body products do you use?

Have you tried any of the ones I've mentioned and what are your thoughts?

Ma pole olnud just kuigi eeskujulik kehakreemide kasutaja kuid viimase paari aasta jooksul on see väga palju muutunud. Selleks, et ma kehakreemi kasutaksin peab see kiiresti imenduma ning kindlasti hästi lõhnama :)

Ilmselt on kõnekas ka fakt, et hetkel on mul kasutuses neli erinevat kehaniisutajat, mida kasutan erinevatel juhtudel ja tujuga.

Kõigepealt vene brändi Chistaya Liniya kehakreem astelpaju ja pohlaga, mis on koostiselt kerge ja imendub kiirelt ning lõhnab väga värskelt ja astelpajuselt. See rõõmus roheline tuub on mul trennikotis ning kasutan seda pärast ujumist ja nädalavahetuse väljasõitudel. Usutavasti on selle brändi tooted müügil L-Cosmetics poodides.

Järgmisena on mul kasutuses Elizabeth Ardeni Green Tea Honey Drops kehakreem, millest kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. Seda kehakreemi kasutan päevil, mil kannan ka oma hiljutist parfüümiostu - Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cherry Blossom tualettvett. Koos tekitavad nad tugeva ja aromaatse lõhnapilve, milles kümblen hilisõhtuni välja :)

Õhtuti on mul kasutuses Avon Rich Moisture Family Cream, mis on väga kerge koostisega ja võin sekundeid pärast selle nahale kandmist juba linade vahele pugeda. Soetasin selle 400ml potsiku eelmisest kataloogist paari euroga. Kogu perele ma seda siiski ei soovita - toote üsna vänge lõhna tõttu ma seda näiteks oma tütre peal ei kasutaks.

Viimane kehakreem on The Body Shopi Smoky Poppy kehavõi. Ma pole varasemalt kehavõidega sõbraks saanud, sest need, mida senini proovinud olin (sealhulgas ka TBS omi), lihtsalt ei imendunud ka hommikuks nahka. See kehavõi on aga hoopis teisest "puust" ning võin juba mõni minut pärast kreemi kasutamist teksad jalga tõmmata. 

Lisaks lõhnab see kreem oivaliselt - suitsune, muskusene ja selline, mis sobib pigem juba täiskasvanud naisele :) See lõhn meeldib mulle niivõrd, et ostaksin hea meelega ka Smoky Poppy tualettvee :) Praegu aga kasutan selle kehavõiga koos Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe parfüümi. Koos loovad need mõnusalt sensuaalse ansambli.

Mitu kehatoodet sul korraga kasutuses on?

Kas oled mõnda ülalmainitud toodet proovinud? Kuidas meeldivad?

What's in my handbag?

I switched my handbag about a week ago because I got fed up carrying around a handbag and a laptop bag together.

I got the handbag I was talking about in my fall wish list post from H&M.

I still see the handbag in stores in different colour variations (LINK) so if you want a good big handbag that's affordable, I suggest you check it out. I love my dark grey version the most :)

What I love the most about this bag is it's size - I can fit my 15.6" work laptop in it and doesn't have to carry two bags around. Plus it has held it's shape perfectly.

I have my beloved Moleskine diary in my bag, I have the 18 months weekly diary with soft cover. I love Moleskine diaries and that's my third one I've bought.

And then the usual - my Coach makeup bag which I've had for ages, a pencil-case from Tiger Store where I have pens, post-its, paperclips etc. By the way - I love Tiger Store for stationery shopping - they have large variety of stuff for a very affordable price and they look both cute and colorful.

Then there's my wallet, a perfume bottle and my Tangle Teezer.

That's what I had in my handbag just after switching bags. Today there's receipts, chewing gum and all sorts of other crap in it as well :D

Do you keep your handbag tidy?

:)(:

Vahetasin umbes nädal tagasi oma käekoti välja, sest tüdinesin mitme koti kaasaskandmisest.

Minu sügiseses soovide nimekirjas oli see H&M'i käekott, mille siis ka soetasin.

Tänagi on seda tüüpi kotte poes erinevates värvides saada, seega kui soovid mahukat käekotti, on see just sobiv variant. Valikus olnud toonidest on see tumehall minu lemmik.

Selle käekoti puhul meeldib mulle enim selle suurus - see mahutab mu 15,6" tööarvuti ning suure koguse dokumente, mida igapäevaselt kaasas tassin. Nii ei pea ma enam lisaks käekotile ka läpakakotti kaasa vedama.

Kotis on kaasas ka mu poolt palavalt armastatud Moleskine märkmik - minul on 18 kuu versioon, mis algas eelmise aasta juuliga. Ma armastan neid märkmikke ning see on mul juba kolmas.

Veel kannan kotis kaasas oma Coach meigikotti, mis on mul juba mitu aastat vastu pidanud ja näeb ikka välja nagu uus ja Tiger Store'ist ostetud pinalit, milles pastakad, post-it'id, kirjaklambrid jm.

Tiger Store'ist meeldibki mulle enim osta just kirjatarbeid - valik on suur ja rõõmsates värvides.

Käekotis on mul alati ka rahakott, mõni parfüüm ning Tangle Teezer.

Koti sisu pildistasin siis kui asjad kotti ümber pakkisin ning tänaseks on lisaks pildil olevale kott veel igasugust pahna täis - nätsud, tšekid jne.

Kas sinu käekott on alati korrastatud?

Haul: Oriflame Love Nature & The One

I've been a bit of a face mask hoarder lately. It started last year and seems to be continuing this year as well :)

Oriflame had an offer few weeks back where you got a face mask and scrub for less than 5€. 

So I got the Love Nature Aloe Vera Hydrating Gel Mask and Hydrating Face Scrub for combination skin.

I really like the scrub because it has tons of exfoliating particles in it and is gentle at the same time. I really enjoy using it. The gel mask on the other hand doesn't feel very hydrating so this one I wouldn't repurchase next time.

I think I used a peel off mask about 10 years ago last time so I wanted to try it again. I got the Love Nature Restoring Grape Peel-off Mask for stressed skin. I like it a lot. My skin feels calm and hydrated after using it and the whole process of removing this peel-off mask is so funny :)

I also got two of The One Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadows in Rose Gold and Golden Brown.

The Rose Gold shade is more on the peachy side in my opinion but I like the colour a lot. It's perfect on days where I don't have time to spend a lot of time on makeup. 

The shade Golden Brown was a bit of a disappointment because to me, it seems to have green/olive undertone to it, so not really a colour that I wanted and that suits me.

In order for them to stay put whole day, I need to use an eyeshadow primer. They are easy to use and blend and are cream to powder texture.

I like the Rose Gold one and they are nice but I'm not in love with them, so I don't think I will repurchase.

:)(:

Eelmises Oriflame kataloogis oli mõnus pakkumine, kus kaks Love Nature toodet maksid kokku alla 5€. Kuna ma olen alates eelmisest aastast hakanud proovima erinevaid maske ja sellega natuke liiga hoogu läinud, tellisin loomulikult mõne veel juurde :D

Kõigepealt tellisin komplekti Oriflame Love Nature Aloe Vera niisutavast geelmaskist ja näokoorijast kombineeritud nahale.

Näokoorija meeldib mulle väga, selles on palju koorivaid osakesi, olles samas naha vastu õrn. Geelmask mulle erilist muljet ei avaldanud, sest ma ei tunneta, et see mu nahka piisavalt niisutaks.

Love Nature viinamarjaga taastav kilemask stressis nahale meeldib mulle väga. Mu nahk on rahunenud ja piisavalt niisutatud peale selle maski kasutamist ning kogu maski eemaldamine on väga lõbus tegevus.

Soodushinnaga olid ka The One Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadow kreemlauvärvid, millest tellisin toonid Rose Gold ja Golden Brown. Rose Gold on pigem virsikukarva kui roosa aga meeldib mulle sellegipoolest. Eriti päevil, mil ma ei viitsi/pole aega meigi kallal mässata. Toon Golden Brown on roheka alatooniga, mistõttu pole see toon see, mida ma soovisin ning see ka ei sobi mulle. 

Selleks, et need lauvärvid veatuna hommikust õhtuni püsiksid, vajan ma lauvärvi aluskreemi. Need muutuvad peale kandes kreemist puudriks ning neid on kerge hajutada.

Üldiselt on need lauvärvid okei tooted kuid kuna ma neist vaimustusse ei sattunud, ei osta neid ilmselt uuesti.
