BEST: Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer

I am always always always in search for the best high coverage concealer that would actually cover up my dark blue under eye circles (which I've had since childhood). So far I have loved NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (review HERE) but it's not available in my country and Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (review HERE) in shade 15 that I like a lot which is also not available in Estonia.

So when I saw rave reviews about CATRICE Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer online I went straight to the shop to get myself one. And I LOVE it!

It really has high coverage, it's waterproof and stays on all day without creasing or oxidising.

I must say that it's quite drying, so you have to moisturize your eye area before or as I do, use some of Maybelline Fit Me Concealer on top of it for added moisture. Because it's quite thick and waterproof it's also super great to use on your face to cover up any blemishes :)

I already used up the lightest shade available here in 010 Porcelain and got myself a little darker one for spring/summer in shade 020 Light Beige.

I'm sorry for the crappy swatches but the top one is yellow toned Light Beige and the bottom one is Porcelain (I used it up to the max so I hardly got any to swatch).

And the best part is - it costs only around 4€.

I really recommend you try it out if you have dark circles under your eyes!

Let me know if you've tried it and/or which are your favourite concealers in the comments below :) 

Mul on lapsepõlvest saati olnud väga tumedad silmaalused ning seetõttu otsin ja proovin pidevalt uusi peitekreeme, mis seda probleemi olematuks muudaks. Siiani on minu lemmikud peitekreemid silmaalustele olnud NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (kirjutasin sellest SIIN), mida Eestis pole hõlpsalt saada ja Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (kirjutasin sellest SIIN) toonis 15, mida mingil põhjusel siin ei müüda (saadaval on ainult toonid 10 ja 20).

Seega kui hakkasin igalt poolt online'ist kuulma superhäid arvustusi CATRICE Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer peitekreemi kohta, suundusin kohe Selverisse, et see järele proovida.

Ning see on SUUREPÄRANE!

Sel peitekreemil on täiskatvus, see on veekindel ning see ei muuda päeva jooksul värvi ega kogune kortsukestesse. Küll aga on selle koostis üsna kuivatav, mistõttu soovitan kindlasti kasutada enne silmakreemi või segada seda veidi vedelama peitekreemiga (mina panen Catrice'i peale paar täppi Maybelline Fit Me peitekreemi). Lisaks, kuna tegemist on pigem tihkema koostisega peitekreemiga, sobib see suurepäraselt ka erinevate punnide ja plekkide katmiseks näonahal.

Sügistalvisel perioodil kasutasin ma meie kaubandusvõrgus saadavat kõige heledamat tooni 010 Porcellain ning nüüd, kevadsuveks, soetasin tooni võrra tumedama peitekreemi 020 Light Beige.

Kõige parem uudis selle peitekreemi kohta on tema fantastiline hind, mis jääb 4€ kanti :)

Ma vabandan kehvade värvinäidiste pärast, kuid ülemine toon on 020 Light Beige ja alumine 010 Porcellain, mis oli foto tegemise ajaks täiesti otsa saanud nii, et swatchi oli pea võimatu kätte saada :)

Catrice tooted on saadavad Tallinnas Järve, Torupilli ja Pirita ning Peetri Selveris.

Kas oled seda peitekreemi proovinud? Milline on sinu lemmik peitekreem tumedate silmaaluste maskeerimiseks? :)

Empties #21

I love reading other people's empties' posts so I try to write one every now and then.
Maybe I should write these kind of posts more frequently so that the amount of products wouldn't be so overwhelming and you could actually read it through in one go :)

Makeup

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup  - this is my most favourite full coverage foundation that I have used myself and on other people and it has always performed flawlessly. I wrote a full review on it HERE and needless to say, would repurchase any time.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal Foundation - I really like Healthy Mix foundations from Bourjois. This one is great all year round and especially during spring/summer even on my combination skin. It has medium coverage, feels nice on the skin, needs a little touch-up around lunch time and doesn't oxidise. I've been loving it for years and already have repurchased a new bottle.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation - this Serum Gel foundation was perfect for colder seasons when my skin was a bit dryer. I wouldn't recommend it to girls with oily skin and I can't use it during spring/summer because my t-zone gets oily rather quickly. Other than that, it's a nice light to medium coverage foundation that I would repurchase next winter.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara - this mascara is great for every day use. It doesn't give super long or voluminous lashes but allows to put on few coats for dramatic effect without making my lashes clumpy. I especially love the rubber wand that has super short bristles on one side and longer ones on the other. I manage not to get mascara all over my eyelids with it and that's why I ordered the Brilliant Black version during holidays when it was on sale. I already have a third one of this mascara so that means I really really like it :)
Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Dark Blond - I didn't like this product at all. The wand has a ridiculous ball on the end which purpose I don't understand. The colour had a bit too much red in it and it made my brows really crunchy. I didn't finish this product and will not repurchase.
Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base - another product I was very disappointed with. I have oily eyelids and none of the eyeshadows stay on my lids without it. Unfortunately this eyeshadow primer just didn't do it's job and by lunch time my eyeshadow was all gone or creased.
Avon Eyeshadow Primer in light beige - I can't even count how many of these eyeshadow primer pots I've used up. Next time I'll order from Avon it will once again find itself in my shopping cart :)
Skincare
Stenders Wild Rose Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - I wrote abou the wild rose range from Stenders HERE. I liked it for removing heavy eye makeup which it did very well. I would repurchase in the future :)
Madara Vitalising Soap Wild Fruit - it had a lovely scent, didn't dry my skin out and got me clean. Plus the fact that it has plenty of natural ingredients in it makes it a good product.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - I have a full review on it HERE. I love this product and will probably repurchase over and over again!
Hair & kids
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Clean & Classic Original (x3) and XXL Volume - I think the fact that I have 4 empty Batiste bottles here speaks for itself. My favourite one is of course the orginal but the xxl version is great when I want to achieve super voluminous hair. Like them a lot and will definitely repurchase!
L'Oréal Professionel Nature Tendresse kids shampoo and leave-in detangling conditioner for children - these two products have been my favourite for a long time. It smells nice, is gentle for kids and the detangling conditioner really did its job :)
Avon Hello Kitty Detangling spray - this one was also very effective in detangling but the spritz on it was weird and is weird on the new bottle as well. It sprays the liquid unevenly so you have to pay a bit more attention while using it. Other than that it's a good product :)

Tühjade potsikute postitused on ühed minu lemmikutest ning seetõttu püüan neid ka ise kirja panna.
Ilmselt peaksin siiski oma tühjast taarast tihedamini kirjutama, et tooteid liiga palju ja postitus liiga pikk ei saaks. Muidu äkki ei jõuagi tervet kirjutist korraga läbi lugeda :)

Makeup
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup  - see on üks minu lemmikuimatest täiskatvusega ja kauapüsivatest jumestuskreemidest, mille kasutamist naudin nii endal kui ka jumestustöid tehes. Kirjutasin sellest pikemalt SIIN ning ostaksin seda toodet igal ajal uuesti.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal Foundation - Healthy Mix jumestuskreemid meeldivad mulle väga. Healthy Mix on veidi tihkema koostisega jumestuskreem, mis sobib minu nahatüübile nii talvel kui kevadsuvisel hooajal. Keskmise katvusega kreem püsib kenasti peal, ei muuda päeva jooksul värvi ja puudriga tuleb seda üle tupsutada alles pealelõunal. Juba on uus pudel kasutuses ning kindel koht minu lemmikute hulgas olemas :)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation - see seerumiga geelkreemi variant sobis mulle eriti hästi sügistalvisel perioodil kui nahk oli tavapärasest kuivem. Suvisel ajal ma seda siiski oma kombineeritud nahal kanda ei saa. Katvus on sellel kerge kuni keskmine ja üldises plaanis on tegemist väga mõnusa tootega. Lisaks on sellel ka suurepärane lõhn.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara - suurepärane tušš igapäevaseks kasutamiseks. See ei anna supertihedaid ja pikki ripsmeid kuid seda on võimalik peale kanda mitu kihti, et saavutada dramaatilisem tulemus ning seejuures ei kleebi see ripsmeid koledasti kokku. Lisaks on sellel ka ülimugav kummiharjas, kus ühel poolel imelühikesed "karvakesed" ja teisel pool veidi pikemad. Nii ei määri ma kogu oma silmaümbrust täis ning olen lisaks pühadeaegsele Brilliant Black versioonile ostnud nüüdseks ka juba kolmanda tuubi seda tušši :)
Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara toonis Dark Blond - mulle see toode ei meeldinud ning ma ei kasutanud ilmselt pooltki tuubist ära. Harjase otsas on mingi arusaamatu pall, mille funktsioonist ma aru ei saa ning see muudab kuivades kulmukarvad kuidagi krõpsuvaks ja kõvaks. Lisaks on Dark Blond toon minu jaoks liiga punaka alatooniga.
Essence I Heart Stage Eyeshadow Base - veel üks toode, mida kasutasin paar korda ja suunasin seejärel prügikasti. Kuna vajan lauvärvide püsimiseks kindlasti aluskreemi, proovisin seda taskukohast varianti kuid lõunaks oli värv kas laugudelt hoopis kadunud või kogunenud vagudesse.
Avon Eyeshadow Primer toonis light beige - ma isegi enam ei tea, mitu potsikut seda Avon'i lauvärvi aluskreemi ma olen ära kasutanud. Järgmine kord kui Avon'ist midagi tellin, on ka see toode kindlasti ostukorvis :)
Nahahooldus
Stenders Wild Rose Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - kirjutasin Stendersi metsiku roosi sarjast SIIN. See vahend tuli eriti hästi toime tugeva silmameigi eemaldamisega ning kuna tegemist on kahefaasilise tootega, oli ka silmaümbruse nahk pärast kasutamist mõnusalt niisutatud :)
Madara Vitalising Soap Wild Fruit - mõnusa lõhnaga dušigeel, mis ei kuivatanud nahka ning pesi mu kenasti puhtaks. Boonuseks ka tavapärasest suurem hulk looduslikke koostisosi.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - sellest imetootest kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. Absoluutne lemmik meigieemaldusvahend, mida ostan kindlasti üha uuesti.
Juuksed & lapsed
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Clean & Classic Original (x3) ja XXL Volume - fakt, et mul on 4 tühja Batiste kuivšampooni pudelit räägib juba enda eest. Minu lemmik on Original versioon ning XXL Volume annab tõesti väga palju kohevust . Kindel on see, et ostan neid uuesti :)
L'Oréal Professionel Nature Tendresse laste šampoon ja leave-in detangling juustessejäetav palsam lastele - need kaks on olnud minu pikaajalised lemmikud mini-me juustel kasutamiseks. Juustessejäetav palsam harutab pusad kergelt lahti ning jätab juustesse õrna virsikulõhna.
Avon Hello Kitty Detangling spray - see Avon'i pusasprei lastele teeb oma tööd pusade lahtiharutamisel samuti väga hästi kuid nad peaks midagi ette võtma selle pudeli pihustajaga. Juba teasel pudelil pihustab see toodet suht suvaliselt laiali nii, et kasutamisel tuleb olla tähelepanelik. Muidu on toode hea ja kui teil on kodus poised-plikad, kelle juuksed kergesti pusasse lähevad, saab sellest tootest kindlasti abi.

Avon Advance Techinques Dry Shampoo

As you probably know I have been obsessed with dry shampoos since the day I discovered them and even though I think Batiste is the best one I've found yet, I'm always curious to try anything new.

Avon came out with their version lately which is very affordable so I was eager to try it.

Advance Techniques Dry Shampoo comes in a 150ml spray bottle and has a sweet and fruity scent that's quite strong but not overpowering. It leaves a bit of white residue so you need to rub it in quite well. And I'm sorry to say that it doesn't perform good enough for me to repurchase. It does it's job okay but only on the second day. On third day when your hair is quite dirty already, this is of no use. I keep my bottle at work for emergencies when I need fresh looking hair for short time.

Have you tried it already? Do you like it?

I am about to order from iHerb soon so I'll check out if they have more natural and healthier options for dry shampoos also :)

Kes on minu blogi juba pikemalt jälginud, teab, et olen suur kuivšampoonide fanaatik ning kuigi minu lemmikud on siiani Batiste kuivšampoonid, olen alati valmis proovima midagi uut.

Hiljuti tuli Avon välja oma versiooniga ning kuna tutvumishind oli soodne, otsustasin proovida.

Advance Techniques Dry Shampoo on 150ml suuruses pihustiga pudelis ning toode lõhnab üsna tugevalt magusate puuviljade järgi. See jätab veidi valge pulbri jääke juustele ning minu arvates jääb sellel tõhususest vajaka. Teisel päeval kui juuksed pole veel väga mustad, teeb see oma töö enam-vähem ära aga kolmandal päeval on see täiesti kasutu. Seega rohkem ma seda ilmselt ostma ei hakka.

Oma pudelit hoian tööl kui on kiirkorras ja lühiajaliselt vaja juuksed värskeks saada.

Tavahinnaks märgitakse sellel 6.30€ kuid seni pole ma seda täishinnaga veel kataloogides näinud :)

Kas oled Avon'i kuivšampooni juba proovinud? Kuidas meeldib?

Olen tegemas järjekordset tellimust iHerbist ning loodetavasti leian sealt ka veidi looduslikuma koostisega kuivšampooni :)

My go to eyeshadow palette - Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude

I have heard so many people praise this palette so when my sister came for a visit in January I asked her to bring me Eyes Uncovered Nude eyeshadow palette by Collection.

It's a small and simple cardboard box that has six eyeshadows and a double sided sponge applicator in it. The lightest shade White Chocolate and the darkest shade Espresso are matte and all the others have subtle shimmer in it.

As you can see from the swatches below these eyeshadows are not very highly pigmented which I was disappointed with after first application. But the more I used the palette the more I started to like the sheer coverage of eyeshadows. That being said I suggest using eyeshadow primer to insure the longevity and better colour payoff.

My most used shades are Chocolate Milk (third from right) which is a warmer brown and Brown Sugar (second shade from right) which is a light taupe. When I go away for few days it's the only palette I take with me and can get away with using Biscuit (third from left) as crease colour and Espresso in the outer V and instead of a liner.

I really like these subtle nude shades during daytime which can be easily transformed into the night look. Also these shades are suitable for every skin and eye colour.

Collection has six different Eyes Uncovered palettes available in Boots for only £3.99 HERE.

Collection on brand, mille peitepulka on kiidetud taevani ning üsna kohe pärast Eyes Uncovered palettide turule toomist hakkasin igalt poolt kuulma arvukaid kiidulaule. Nii palusingi UK-s elaval õel endale Collection Eyes Uncovered Nude paleti tuua. Viimase kahe kuu jooksul on see olnud pea ainus palett, mida kasutan :)

Lihtsas magnetiga sulguvas kartongist karbis on kuus neutraalses toonis lauvärvi, millest heledaim White Chocolate ja tumedaim Espresso on matid ning ülejäänud neljas sisaldub ka mõningal määral sädelust.

Nagu värvinäidistel näha ei ole need lauvärvid just väga tugeva pigmendiga, mis mind esialgu väga kurvastas. Kuid pärast mõnekordset kasutamist hakkasin seda lihtsat ja neutraalsetes toonides paletti lausa armastama ning lühematel väljasõitudel on see ainus, mille kaasa haaran.

Minu lemmikud toonid on soojem pruun Chocolate Milk (paremalt kolmas) ja külmem pruun Brown Sugar (paremalt teine toon). Tooni Biscuit (vasakult kolmas) saan edukalt kasutada koopajoonel ning kõige tumedamat Espressot välisnurgas või laineri asemel.

Hetkel ei ole ma leidnud veebipoodi, kust seda paletti Eestisse tellida saaks kuid kui kellelgi on sõpru/sugulasi, kes elavad UK-s, siis nende suurimast kosmeetikapoodide ketist Boots saab selle kätte vaid umbes 5 euroga. Kokku on neid palette 6 erinevas toonis ja neid saab uudistada SIIT.
