Lipstick Addict Tag

It's no news that my softest spot in makeup are lipsticks and lipgloss.

I always always wear something on my lips and sometimes get even some weird looks when I randomly grab a lipstick out and put some on without a mirror :D

So, when I saw a bunch of people on youtube making Lipstick Addict Tag videos I wanted to list my favourites, too!

I've already shown you my collection. Today I have 60 items and got rid of 4 while preparing this post :)

TAG questions:

1. Favourite balm/treatment? It has always been Elisabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant. I cannot live without it! It heals my lips within hours from every kind of trouble - cold, sun, cracks...whatever! It's magic and I will always have it with me :)

2. Best eye-catching red? I don't wear red lipstick because I just haven't found the shade that would suit my colouring (I'm more olive skinned). Hence I only have a few reddish lipsticks and my favourite is this oldie but goldie Estee Lauder Signature in shade 06 Lush Rose. It's cool-toned fuchsia red and suits me quite okay. Plus it looks almost red on my lips :D

3. Best luxury and best drugstore? I would say my most favourite luxury brand is Yves Saint Laurent. I love every formula, aswell as every shade of lipstick and lipgloss I have. I swatched (from top to bottom) Rouge Pur in 146 and 138 and Rouge Volupte in shade 26. 

I've also found that I love most of the L'Oreal lip products, too. Especially the new Color Riche L'Extraordinaire lip laquer in 201 Rose Symphony and their Caresse lipsticks which I have in shade 102 Mauve Cherie.

4. Best MAC lipstick? Since I haven't tried nor own any MAC lipsticks I'll show you my most favourite lipstick of all time. It suits me that well that absolutely every time I wear it, I get compliments. It's Maybelline ColorSensational in shade 910 Shocking Coral. Unfortunately it was limited edition and now I can wear it only on special occasions because I have only a tiny bit left :(

5. The most disappointing? I must say it's Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter. I had such high hopes for it and was extra excited when I finally got it because we don't have Revlon in Estonia, only to find it being quite an average product...

6. Lip liner - yes or no? Usually no. Only if I'm wearing red or darker colours or when I need my lipstick stay put for like 6 hours. But on a daily basis - never :D

7. Best gloss? I have three because I just couldn't choose. First - Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. They have amazing colour range, they smell and taste yummy and they truly deserve the name Perfector because they make your lips look fabulous. I swatched shade 05. 

Next one (swatch in the middle) is MaxFactor lipgloss in shade 35 Lovely Candy. It's beautiful and glossy on it's own and you can wear it under or on top of every colour because it suits everything :) And on the bottom is Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in shade 042 Bellini and I just love, love, love the formula. Perfect lipgloss :)

8. Something extra! This is just a tip for you - get a look at some really cheap brands once in a while, too. Those that you've maybe never even heard about. You might find some awesome products there just like I've discovered lovely and very affordable products from brands like Bellaoggi and BYS recently. 

And of course Sleek! I love Sleek! I believe I could solely survive only on Sleek makeup if I had to choose just one brand :)

Hope you liked the tag and if you decide to do one yourself, please leave a link in the comments. I'd love to see your favourites and discover new lip products :)

Eestikeelse teksti lisan veidi hiljem :)

Empties #8

Järjekordne ports tühje potsikuid on jällegi teie ees!

Juuksed ja keha

Matrix Amplify sarja šampoon ja palsam - selles blogis pole vist ühtegi teist toodete sarja nii palju kiidetud kui Matrixit. Väga hea ja kvaliteetne bränd, millega jään alati rahule :)

Oriflame Nature Secrets vaarika-mündi deodorant - neid olen ära kasutanud oma 10 tükki kindlasti. See räägib juba enda eest :)

Nägu

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo korrigeeriv ja poore puhastav kreem - kui ma eelmisel sügisel oma rikutud näonahka tagasi normaalsesse seisundisse üritasin viia, aitas minu hinnangul just see kreem mind kõige rohkem. Õrna lõhnaga kerge emulsioon imendus sekunditega ja sobib imehästi ka meigi all kasutamiseks. Väga hea kreem, mis minu hinnangul tõesti aitas mu aknelist ja pigmendilaigulist nahka tervemaks ravida. Kuidas ja kust seda küll Eestisse tellida saaks? Minu otsingud pole siiani kahjuks tulemust andnud.

 Vichy Normaderm sügavpuhastav näopesugeel - väga tõhus näopesuvahend, mis kindlasti aitab kui oled kimpus aknega. Samas oli see õrn ja ka silmi sai sellega pesta ilma, et need kipitama hakkaksid.

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean näokoorija - sellest kirjutasin põhjaliku arvustuse SIIN ning see toode oli ka üks minu eelmise aasta lemmikutest. Mitte ükski teine koorija pole olnud nii hea ja tõhus ning toode, mille pärast selle tühjaks saamist kasutusse võtsin, ei kõlba võrreldes Estee Lauderi omaga ikka üldse kuskile :D Esimesel võimalusel ostan uue!

Makeup

Lancome Teint Renergie Lift jumestuskreem - täitsa huvitav aga ma polegi sellele tootele eraldi arvustust kirjutanud! Igal juhul on tegemist väga hea jumestuskreemiga, mida on kerge peale kanda, hajutamine käib sõna otseses mõttes mõne sekundiga, nahk näeb välja ilus ja noor, püsib päris hästi ja ei muuda päeva jooksul tooni. Lisaks sisaldab SPF 20. Rasuse nahaga preilidel soovitan puudrit ka kasutada. Üldiselt on minu hinnangul kõik Lancome jumestuskreemid, mida proovinud olen, väga-väga head!

Oriflame Lip Impact huulepulgapliiats toonis Striking Rose - imeilus fuksiatoon kuid viskan ta minema seetõttu, et see läheb laiali. Mitte ükski teine toode pole mu huultel niimoodi bleedinud, mistõttu ma lihtsalt ei saa endale lubada pidevat muretsemist sellepärast, kas huuled on enda kujuga või juba üle terve näo laiali jooksnud :D

Oriflame Smooth Definer silmapliiats toonis Grey - väga pehme ja rikkaliku värviga pliiats, mida julgen kindlasti soovitada!

Another empties post is here! 

Hair and body

Matrix Amplify shampoo and conditioner - I think there isn't a product range I've raved about as much as about Matrix in this blog. I have loved each product from Matrix I've ever used! 

Oriflame Nature Secrets mint&raspberry deodorant - I think I've used up about ten of these which tells a lot about this product :)

Face

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Corrective and Unclogging Anti-imperfection Care - this little fella has helped me get my damaged and problematic skin under control. It's light, absorbs quickly, has a yummy humble scent, is perfect under makeup and really helped my skin. Will definitely repurchase!

 Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying gel - very effective on my problematic skin and didn't irritate my eyes. Loved it!

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean exfoliator - I wrote a full review on it HERE and it was also one of my last year's favourites. This is truly the best scrub I've ever used and any other product I try after this one feels like crap. Will run to the store and repurchase as soon as I can :) 

Makeup

Lancome Teint Renergie Lift foundation - it's so easy and quick to use! It blends with seconds literally! Stays on whole day, doesn't oxydize, makes my skin look fresh and young and has SPF 20 in it. I really enjoyed using it!

Oriflame Lip Impact lipstick crayon in Striking Rose - gorgeous fuchsia colour! But it just bleeds all over the place! I really loved the tone but I just can't worry about my lips in every 10 minutes.

Oriflame Smooth Definer eyeliner in Grey - very soft and pigmented! Loved it and will repurchase :)

Lemmikud 2013 / Favourites of 2013

Minu kodune internetiprobleem sai lõppude lõpuks lahenduse ning kõigepealt tuleb vana aasta võlad ära klattida :D 

Seekord keskendun vaid ilutoodetele (2012 lemmikud leiad SIIT), sest nii kiiret ja närvilist elutempot kui möödunud aastal, kus vaevalt süüa ja magada jõudsin, ma teist ei mäletagi. Seega jäi ka silmaringi avardamine pisut tahaplaanile. 

Eelmisel aastal proovisin väga palju erinevaid kosmeetikume, seega on allolev nimekiri tõelistest hitt-toodetest, mis selgelt eristusid ja silma jäid ning mida kindlasti uuesti ostan ja soovitada julgen :)

Juuste- ja nahahooldus

Matrix sarja šampoonid ja palsamid - vahet pole, millist hooldust ma Matrix sarjast kasutan, need sobivad ja meeldivad mulle eranditult kõik. Hind on nii hea kvaliteedi kohta ka päris soodne, umbes 10 eurot kummagi eest (kui soovid rohkem teada vaata lisaks blogi paremas ääres labels alt märksõna matrix).

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean näokoorija - seni kõikidest proovitud koorijatest kõige tõhusam. Nägu peab kindlasti olema märg, siis on koorija pealakndmine lihtsam ning pole ohtu oma õrna nahka liialt kriipida. Põhjalikum arvustus on SIIN.

Oriflame Refreshing Body Cream ehk kurgiga kehakreem - ma olen alati olnud üsna nigel kehakreemide kasutaja. Seega kui mõni kreem mul enne otsa saab kui vanaks läheb, on tegemist tõeliselt väärt tootega :D Mulle tõesti meeldis see kreem - alates lõhnast ja lõpetades ülikiire imendumisega. Veidi rohkem kirjutasin sellest SIIN ja SIIN.

Meik

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra jumestuskreem - PARIM, mida ma eales kasutanud olen! Kuigi ka praegu põhiliselt kasutusel olevad 2 jumestuskreemi on väga head, ei ole siiski ükski suutnud Teint Idole Ultra'st üle olla. Pikem arvustus on SIIN.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream kreemlauvärv - mul on see toonis 16. Jällegi on tegemist tootega, mida on lihtne kasutada, püsib kenasti peal ja annab võimaluse vaid paari sekundiga teha kiire ja imeilus silmameik. Rohkem kirjutasin sellest SIIN.

Burberry Rosewood lauvärv - eelmise aasta absoluutne hitt, millest ma ei väsi ilmselt iialgi. Läbi ja lõhki minu toon. Pikem arvustus sellest imelisest tootest on SIIN.

Lancome Artliner silmalainer - huvitaval kombel polegi ma sellest fantastilisest abimehest oma blogis kirjutanud. See vääriks siiski lausa omaette postitust, sest tegemist on minu vaieldamatu lemmikuga. Mugav pintselt, piisavalt vedel koostis, mustemast mustem värv ning kui see on kuivanud, ei saa seda enne liikuma kui meiki maha pestes :)

Küüned

Essie Merino Cool (vt SIIT) ja Dior 607 Blue Denim (vt SIIT) on minu läinud aasta kõige suuremad lemmikud. Kui mul vaid oleks rohkem aega ja poleks ligi poolsada ilusat lakki sahtlis, kannaks ma neid kahte tooni vaheldumisi pidevalt :D

I finally got my internet connection problems fixed so that means a lot of posts :D 

So, first of all, let's talk about my most favourite beauty products of 2013. Since I was experimenting and trying out a lot of different things, there aren't that many products but the list below is of products that truly stand out and are my very favourite.

Hair and skincare

Matrix haircare line shampoo and conditioner - it doesn't matter which type of shampoo/conditioner I use from Matrix, all of them are really very very good. You can read more if you click under labels on 'matrix' on the right side of the blog.

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean face scrub - the best of all I've tried. I suggest your face to be wet when you use it, that way it's smooth and doesn't harm your sensitive skin. Full review is HERE.

Oriflame Refreshing Body Cream with cucumber - I hardly ever use up body creams before they go bad so the fact that I used this on up and was really sad about it, proves that it's really awesome. You can read more HERE and HERE.

Makeup

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra foundation - honestly, it's THE BEST of all the ones I've tried in my life. Love it, love it, love it. You can find my full review on it HERE.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream eyeshadow - my best little helper on the days of being a bit lazy or in a hurry with applying makeup. My thoughts on it are HERE.

Burberry Rosewood eyeshadow  - love at first sight that will continue probably 'til the end of my days :D Full review and swatches are HERE.

Lancome Artliner eyeliner - I'm amazed I haven't talked about this magical little helper before. It really deserves a full review. The brush is very easy to use, it slides on in a second, is blackest of black and when it's dried, it will not move until you decide to remove your makeup. It's really is a fantastic product!

Nails

Essie Merino Cool (see HERE) and Dior 607 Blue Denim (see HERE) are my two most FAVOURITE shades among all my nail polishes. If I didn't have around 50 beautiful bottles of varnishes already I would wear both of them all year round :)

Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Exfoliator

Olen väga naha koorimise usku ja juba mitu-mitu aastat koorin religioosselt oma nägu 2-3 korda nädalas. Seetõttu olen ka alati hea näokoorija otsinguil. Tundub, et nüüdseks on mu otsingud lõppenud ja mu holy grail  näokoorija on leitud!

Lubage tutvustada - Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Fresh Balancing Exfoliator. Minul on normaalsele/kombineeritud nahale mõeldud versioon.

Olen seda koorijat kasutanud umbes 3 nädalat, 2 korda nädalas. Juba pärast esimest korda olin tohutult üllatunud, sest nahk tundus pehme ja sile nagu beebi pepu. Tõesõna!

Koorija on üsna tihke valge kreem, mida tuleb kanda pigem märjale kui lihtsalt niisutatud nahale, muidu ei pruugi kreemi laialikandmine näole üldse eriti mugav olla. Koorivaid osakesi on kreemis väga palju, sestap pole vaja ega tohigi koorimisel mingit tugevamat survet kasutada. Osakesed teevad töö ise ja täiesti perfektselt ära.

Nägu ei kisu pärast koorimist kuid mul on alati kombeks peale koorijat kasutada seerumit. Kuigi ma olen koorijat veel võrdlemisi vähe aega kasutanud, võin öelda, et see tõesti puhastab ja silub nahka.

Nii tõhusat ja mõnusat efekti pole ma veel ühegi teise proovitud näokoorijaga saavutanud :)

I think I've found my holy grail face scrub. Already after the first time I used Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Fresh Balancing Exfoliator my skin felt smooth and silky afterwards. I just loved it.

It's a very thick white cream that has tons of scrubbing particles in it. Your face has to be wet, not moist, for it to be comfortable to use. Also, you should be careful not to use any force on your face with this cream.

I've used the exfoliator now for 3 weeks, twice a week. I really does clean your face and also smoothes fine lines. I don't feel the need to moisturize my skin after using it but it's my little routine that I always put serum on after scrubbing. 

All in all, I just love it! :)
