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.

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?

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 :)

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 :)

Review: BeYu & Bourjois eyeshadow sticks

I am a big fan of cream eyeshadows and eyeshadow sticks.

I have two shades of Topshop crayons and I've been loving them since, one even made it to my 2012 favourites and is now awaiting for my next empties post. However I think that these crayons are discontinued now :(. I'm also a big fan of Oriflame Velvet Blaze cream eyeshadows (see a swatch HERE), they come and go depending on the current campaign/catalogue and have both metallic and matte shades. 

Few months ago I got my hands on 3 more eyeshadow sticks- two from BeYu and one from Bourjois.

I love all of the three because they are very easy to use, are easily blendable, stay on for ages even without a primer, can be used as a primer/base for eyeshadows or on its own. They don't crease and once they set they will NOT move.

The only thing I could complain about is that they are not retractable so you need to sharpen them :(

Bourjois Color Band 2-in-1 Eyeshadow & Liner in 04 Rose fauviste - it's a lovely peach shade that's quite sheer and has a nice sheen to it. It's perfect under an eyeshadow to make it more vibrant and long-lasting and also great on its own. Bourjois has 6 shades available I think (click HERE).

BeYu Color Biggie long-lasting eyeshadow stick in #324 and #330 - the two shades I have are very metallic and go on very smooth. If you work quick, they are easily blendable. Shade #324 is a warm bronze and #330 is cool taupe. BeYu has 36 different shades and if you're not a fan of metallics they have a lot of matte ones as well (click HERE).

So, if you need a quick way to put your eyeshadow on and want it to last all day long, I suggest you check them out :)(:

P.S. I am still very sorry for my crappy swatches but I hope you get at least some clue of the shades :) I first need to renovate my house, mainly kitchen, so after that I promise I will buy a better camera :)

swatches l-r: Bourjois Color Band in 04 Rose fauviste, BeYu Color Biggie in #324 and #330

Ma olen suur kreemjate lauvärvide ja lauvärvipliitasite fänn.

Mul on kaks lauvärvipliitasit Topshop'ilt (millest üks oli isegi mu 2012 aasta lemmik kuid nüüd on kahjuks järgmise tühjade potsikute postituse ootel. p.s. neid vist enam ei toodetagi :( ) ning ka Oriflame Velvet Blaze kreemlauvärvid on mu suured lemmikud (vaata näiteks SIIT).

Mõni aeg tagasi sain oma kollektsiooni juurde kolm uut lauvärvipliitasit - Bourjois'lt ja BeYu'lt.

Kõiki kolme ühendavad samad ülihead omadused - kiire ja lihtne pealekandmine, kerge hajutada, väga pika püsivusega isegi ilma primer'ita ning sobivad nii iseseisvalt kui ka lauvärvide all kasutamiseks. Need ei valgu laiali ega kogune kortsudesse/vagudesse ning kui lauvärv on kuivanud, ei liigu see absoluutselt MITTE KUHUGI.

Ainus asi, mille üle ma nende puhul nurisen, on see, et need vajavad teritamist :(

Bourjois Color Band 2-in-1 Eyeshadow & Liner toonis 04 Rose fauviste - imeilus virsikutooni lauvärv, mis on kerge ja kumav. Eriti sobilik sama tooni lauvärvi alla, et seda intensiivsemaks ja kauapüsivaks muuta. Bourjois tooteid müüvad Selverid ja Ideaalkosmeetika poed ning ka mõned kohalikud internetipoed kuid hetkel ma neid lauvärvipliiatseid Eesti turult ei leiagi. Kindlasti saab neid aga Eestisse tellida Asos.com lehelt SIIN.

BeYu Color Biggie long-lasting eyeshadow stick toonides #324 ja #330 - minu valduses olevad toonid on väga metallikud kuid valikus on ka matte toone. Toon number 324 on soe pronksjas ning 330 külm taupe toon (kas sellele sõnale on normaalne eesti-keelne vaste ka olemas? :) ). Mina ostsin enda pliiatsid Ideaalkosmeetika poest ja seal on valik päris korralik (lausa 18 tooni). Vaata SIIT.

Seega, kui soovid kiirelt kaunist ja kauapüsivat silmameiki teha, viska kindlasti neile pliiatsitele silma peale :)(:

P.S. Ma vabandan jätkuvalt halva kvaliteediga värvinäidiste pärast aga enne kui saan endale uue kvaliteetse fotoka osta, pean koju uue köögi ehitama. Nii et palun pisut kannatust :)

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.

Haul: pt #3 Nars & Dior

I saved the best for last!!!

This is my Christmas gift from my lovely sister :)

I've never tried Dior eyeshadows before and I was jumping up and down and squealing from excitement when I opened my package :)

I love every item here because the quality is just heavenly! And high-end brands just know how to package their products so that it looks extremely festive and expensive :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette in shade #796 Cuir Cannage - this palette contains four shimmery  brown shades and one matte medium brown shade for blending. These shadows are so pigmented and creamy, blend well and even with a light hand they pack on a lot of colour. You can see great swatches here and a close-up here. Needless to say, I love this palette and since it has colours I use in my eye makeup the most, it's just perfect!!!! :)

Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder in #1411 Translucent - this pressed powder comes in a pouch with a sponge. It is so fine you almost can't see it. It really is translucent and leaves my skin feeling smooth an soft. Works very well for setting my under-eye concealer. Love it and use it every single day :)

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in shade Light2 Vanilla - this stuff stays put for the whole day!!!! It brightens and hides my dark blue under-eyes like nothing else I've tried in my life. It doesn't crease but also doesn't hide all of my tiny wrinkles. But you can't really beat your age, can you? I love it and it has become absolutely irreplaceable together with the Nars setting powder :)

I also got the Maybelline FITme Concealer in shade #15 which I can't get here. Now I'm totally backed up for a looooong time :)

Parima ostude postituse jätsin muidugi viimaseks :)
Tegelikult on kõik see, mis pildil, jõulukingitus minu armsalt õelt :) Äkki ma siis olen ikka sel aastal hea laps olnud? :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow lauvärvipalett toonis #796 Cuir Cannage  - 4 lummavat sädelevat ja üks matt pruun toon teevad sellest paletist perfektsuse. Just pruunikaid toone kasutan oma silmameigis enim, sest beežid-kuldsed-pruunid-punakad toonid muudavad mu muidu hallid silmad siniseks :) Lauvärvid on imeilusad ja väga pigmenteeritud. Ka kerge käega jääb laule piisav kogus värvi. Püsivad hästi ja juba ainuüksi see pakend tekitab niivõrd luksusliku tunde, lauvärvidest endast rääkimata :)

Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder toonis #1411 Translucent - see pressitud läbipaistev puuder on nii peene koostisega, et seda pole nahal näha. Eriti mõnus on seda puudrit kasutada peitekreemi kinnitamiseks silmade all. Puuder on pakitud kotikesse, milles eraldi sahtlis on ka puudrisvamm. Nahk on seda puudrit peale kandes sametine ja pehme :)

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer toonis Light2 Vanilla - see peitekreem on nii kauapüsiv, et paneb lausa imestama! Ühtlasi katab see mu sinised silmaalused tõesti veatult. See küll ei kaota mu peeneid kortse aga ma annan selle talle andeks, sest peeneid kortse näeb vaid siis kui mu näole väga lähedal olla, seevastu tumedate silmaaluste omamises ei saa mind nüüd enam keegi "süüdistada" :D Koos ülalmainitud puudriga on sellest saanud minu igapäevane truu kaaslane.

Lisaks oli pakis ka Maybelline FITme peitekreem toonis 15, mida mina pole Eesti kaubandusvõrgust leidnud. Olen nüüd kohe pikemaks ajaks varustatud :)

Haul: pt #2 e.l.f. from iHerb

I have been wanting to try the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator for a long time as well as some kind of angled/bent eyeliner brush just to see if it makes any difference in application.

I decided to order all these things from my beloved online store iHerb because this way I can get e.l.f. products cheaper than buying them from their European online store (LINK).

P.S. I'm sorry for the crappy quality of photos and swatches. It's winter and the lightning is always off and since I had too many cups of coffee my hands were a bit shaky, too :D

 I haven't tried the e.l.f. Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush yet but by the look of it, it's a nice brush with a very fine tip. Should be good for getting in between my lashes and for the precise application. I also like that it has a tiny cap to protect the bristles. I got it for $3 (link).

e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator in Clear - I've used it once and I already like it. It gently exfoliates and keeps my lips moisturised for a long time. It has a subtle sweet scent, has a lot of exfoliating particles in it and tastes very sweet. Also, since it's in a form of a lipstick, using it is both super comfortable and hygienic. You can get it for $3 here .

My most favourite item is the e.l.f. Studio Prism Eyeshadow palette in Naked - all of these shades are exactly the ones I use daily. Lovely browns and coppers that blend well and are very buttery. They might scare you off because they look very metallic, almost foiled but when applied on the eye, they look very nice and not tacky at all. If you use a primer under these shadows, they stay on all day. I've used the three darker shades from this palette every day since I got it. Looooooooove it!
You can get it for $10 here .

If you'd like to order these from iHerb then using the promotional code LWH786 you can save up to $10 from your first order.

Have you tried any of these products and do you like them?
:)(:

Ma olen juba pikka aega soovinud proovida e.l.f. huulekoorijat ning mingit sorti painutatud otsaga laineripintslit, et näha, kas sellega on mugavam ilusat lainerijoont tõmmata.

Tellisin kõik tooted oma armastatud veebipoest iHerb , sest sealt saab e.l.f.'i kätte soodsamalt kui brändi enda Euroopa veebipoest .

P.S. Ma vabandan piltide kehva kvaliteedi pärast - talvisel ajal on valgusega koguaeg halvasti ja kuna olin sel hommikul päris mitu tassi kohvi joonud, värisesid käed ka rohkem :D

Mainitud e.l.f. Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush laineripintslit pole ma veel proovinud kuid selle ülipeen ots võimaldab ilmselt ripsmejoonele ja nende vahele väga mugavalt ligi pääseda. Ka meeldib mulle, et pintslil on väike kork, mis seda kaitseb. Pintsli saab $3 eest soetada SIIT .

e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator huulekoorijat olen proovinud korra ning see juba meeldib mulle. Huulepulgakujuline toode on väga mugav ja hügieeniline, selles on palju koorivaid osakesi, niisutab pikka aega väga hästi, lõhnab tagasihoidlikult ja on magusa maitsega. Maksab samuti kolm dollarit (LINK).

Kolmest tootest kõige lemmikum on aga e.l.f. Studio Prism Eyeshadow lauvärvipalett toonis Naked. Väga ilusad vasekarva ja pruunikad toonid, mida on kerge hajutada ning mis koos aluskreemiga püsivad hilise õhtuni välja. Kuigi karbis võivad need tunduda väga sädelevad ja metallikud, siis silmadel ei näi need üldse diskopallid :) Kolme tumedamat tooni olen paki kättesaamisest peale kasutanud iga päev. Maksab $10 ja osta saab SIIT.

Kui sa pole varem iHerb'ist tellinud, siis kasutades promokoodi LWH786 saad kuni $10 kokku hoida!

Kas oled neist mõnda proovinud? Millised on sinu muljed?

Budget haul / Ilulaada jm ostud

We had a big sale on bath and beauty products in our local supermarket, so of course I just had to go and check it out :)

And since I'm running out of all my foundations I randomly picked one up from Oriflame along with a red lipstick.

First of all two cheap very affordable body washes - Palmolive Thermal Spa Aqua Calm shower gel that smells soo nice and calming I just had to pick it up. It does it's job well, doesn't dry out my skin but unfortunately the scent doesn't linger on my skin after washing. But while using it it's scent is just divine :)

The other product I got just out of curiosity because I hadn't noticed these kinds of shower gels on the market before except for Lirene one. So I grabbed the Eveline Slim Extreme 4D Anti-cellulite body scrub. Haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it won't get rid of my cellulite anyway (even though it has a Cosmopolitan Prix de Beaute 2014 sticker on it) :)

From the Catrice counter I got (only) three products - Eye Brow Stylist in shade 040 Don't Let Me Brow'n which has quickly become my favourite eyebrow product already. Especially since it has a spooly on the other end. Nice texture (quite hard and not greasy), perfect shade and very easy and quick to use. Strongly suggest! The only downside is that there's only three shades available.

Absolute Eye Colour in shade 400 My First Copperware Party is a perfect dupe for MAC Satin Taupe as proved by a local beauty blogger Iluloba. It was her comparison blog post (with great swatches) that made me go and get this shade because I once went to the MAC counter to get the Satin Taupe but came back empty-handed because of the price. I love this shade and have been wearing it a lot lately. You have to work on blending a bit more though :)

Catrice Ultimate Colour lipstick in shade 210 Pinkadilly Circus is my way of getting used to red lipstick shades. It more like pinky coral shade but bold enough for me at the moment. It's creamy, opaque, stays on for hours and wears off quite nicely. I might go and get another shade that's been kind of haunting me.... we'll see :)

From Lumene counter I picked up their Natural Code Skin Perfector Matt Makeup foundation in shade #12 Fudge. I was impressed by the variety of shades :)

It's a good foundation for combination/oily skin because without a primer it stayed matte on my combo skin for about 5 hours (with a primer even longer). It gives medium coverage, hasn't dried out my skin nor irritated or broken it out. The only thing I would warn you about is that I couldn't really put more than one coat on my skin without it starting to look a bit cakey. But overall I'm really impressed.

Few weeks ago I ordered the Giordani Gold Mineral Therapy Foundation from Oriflame. I'm not really sure what was the reason behind choosing this particular one except for the good price :D Luckily I picked out the right shade for me  - Light Ivory. It's a nice light foundation for everyday use. It gives a subtle glow and therefore makes my skin look healthier but since it's a nourishing and hydrating formula I would say that it's more suitable for dry/normal/combination skin types but not for oily skin. Also, it hasn't broken me out, doesn't oxidise during the day but by the lunchtime it needs blotting or some powder to eliminate the shine. But I will use it up, definitely :)

The second product I got is Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Color Stylist Lipstick. I got it in shade Red Devotion. The texture of it is pretty hard but the colour payoff is very good. I'm not a big fan of the shape of the tip of this lipstick but it will wear off soon enough. For me this shade is more suitable for the evening and I need to play some more with it to properly review it. So far I like it :)

swatches from top to bottom: Catrice 210 Pinkadilly Circus, Oriflame The One in Red Devotion, Catrice Absolute Eye Colour in 400, Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in 040

Loomulikult käisin ka mina Selveri Ilulaadalt läbi ning õnneks ei tulnudki koju väga paljude asjadega :)

Imehea lõõgastava lõhnaga Palmolive Thermal Spa Aqua Calm dušigeeli lõhn on lihtsalt nii mõnus ning soodne hind (1.65€) ei lubanud mul seda poodi jätta. Kahjuks ei jää see hea aroom nahale püsima. Eveline Slim Extreme 4D tselluliidivastane kehakoorija tuli minuga koju kaasa puhtast uudishimust selletaoliste toodete vastu. Hind oli umbes 2.50€. Proovinud ma seda veel ei ole.

Catrice letist tuli minuga koju kaasa kolm toodet - Eye Brow Stylist kulmupliiats toonis 040 Don't Let Me Brow'n (hind vist 3.19€) on juba minu jaoks asendamatuks muutunud. Perfektselt sobiv toon, mõnus tugevam koostis ning kulmuhari pliiatsi teises otsas muudavad kulmukaare "joonistamise" kiireks ja kergeks toiminguks :)

Absolute Eye Colour lauvärvi toonis 400 My First Copperware Party (2.89€) otsustasin osta Iluloba suurepärase võrdleva postituse tõttu, mis tõestas, et see on täiuslik koopia MAC Satin Taupe lauvärvile. Läksin seda kunagi Kaubamajja ostma kuid krõbeda hinna tõttu otsustasin, et ma ei vaja seda. Nüüd on mul see aga olemas ja juba korduvalt kasutuses :)

Catrice Ultimate Colour huulepulk toonis 210 Pinkadilly Circus (hind umbes 4.50€) on ilus korallroosa, mille abil harjutan end punakamaid huulevõõpasid kandma :) Kreemjas koostis, tugev pigment ning viisakas mahakulumine teevad sellest väga hea huulepulga. Mind jäi veel üks toon painama... mine tea, kas toon sellegi ära ;)

Lumene letis oli soodushinnaga (5.32€) Natural Code Skin Perfector Matt Makeup jumestuskreem, mille valisin toonis 12 Fudge. Aluskreemita püsib see minu kombineeritud nahatüübil matt umbes 5 tundi, primeriga veelgi kauem. Kreemil on keskmine katvus, see pole mu nahka kuivatanud ega tekitanud punne. Mulle väga meeldib! Ainus asi, mille kallal viriseda võiks on see, et kui kanda ühele kihile veel teinegi kiht jumestuskreemi peale, siis ei jää tulemus enam perfektne.

Oriflame'ist tellisin mõni nädal tagasi Giordani Gold mineraalidega jumestuskreemi toonis Light Ivory. Sel on kerge katvus, mis sobib igapäevaseks kasutamiseks. Rasuse nahaga neiud peaksid sellest aga mööda vaatama, sest minu seganahal hakkas kreem t-tsoonis lõunaks läikima. Muus osas on see seni mulle igapäevaseks kasutamiseks täitsa meeldinud ning mingeid negatiivseid omadusi pole ma rohkem täheldanud :)

Tellisin ka The One 5-in-1 Color Stylist huulepulga toonis Red Devotion. See punane jääb küll õhtuseid ja pidulikumaid koosviibimisi ootama. Huulepulk on üsna tahke koostisega ja hästi pigmenteeritud. Pean sellega veidi rohkem mängima, et korralikku ülevaadet anda :)

Haul: Avon & Essence

I did a little haul recently and got some very affordable (if not to say cheap) products to try out. Here's my first impressions :)

Since I'm using powder foundation now which takes a bit of time to adjust to my skin I got Avon Makeup Setting Spray to help me fasten the process. It's unscented and comes out as a light mist.
I haven't used it enough to say if it does what it's supposed to but I'll continue using it and will let you know :)

The second product I was curious to try out was Avon Extra Lasting cream eyeshadow in shade Totally Taupe. This one surprised me a lot and in a good way. When I swatched it, it seemed a bit too shimmery for my liking but when I applied it, it was sheer and rather glowy. It lasted all day, didn't crease and putting it on with my fingers was quick and easy. It's actually more like a powder to a touch than a cream, maybe velvet would be an appropriate description for it. Happy I got it and what a bargain :)

There's only one store in my home town that recently started to sell makeup by Essence. This store has also a sale going on right now where some of the products are 40% off.

So I decided to get Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara to put my eyebrows in place and it's done a really good job :) They are tamed and stay put whole day!

The other product that actually was 40% off was Essence XXXLShine Lipgloss in shade #24 Just Gorgeous. Once again, I'm surprised how nice this product is. It's very glossy (not shimmery), moisturising and not sticky at all. For all that I will go and get some more shades of this lipgloss and will forgive the cheap-looking packaging :D Also, I saw Chloe Morello use Essence All About Matte Primer in one of her recent tutorials and since that one was also 40% off, I'm gonna go and get that one, too :)

Once again I was proved that good stuff doesn't have to cost a fortune :) Have you tried any of these products? What would you suggest me to try out from Essence next? :)

Eelmisel nädala soetasin mitu väga soodsat meigitoodet, mis juba miljonendat korda tõestavad, et hea asi ei pea ilmtingimata maksma terve varanduse :)

Kuna kasutan viimasel ajal mineraalpuudrit meigipõhjana, mille nahaga kohandumine võtab paarkümmend minutit aega, tellisin 1. oktoobrini kehtivast kataloogist Avon Makeup Setting Spray jumestust fikseeriva sprei, mille sain vaid 2.99€ eest (pakkumine kehtib kui tellid samast kataloogist mis tahes muu toote, originaalhind 8€). See on lõhnatu ja väljub pihustist peene uduna. Kas see ka oma lubadusi täidab, ei oska ma veel öelda, sest olen seda spreid kasutanud vaid paar korda :)

Loomulikult jäi mu silm peatuma ka Avon Extra Lasting kreemlauvärvil toonis Totally Taupe (hind 1. oktoobrini 3.49€, tavahind 4.90€), sest mu armastus igasuguste taupe toonide vastu on lausa patoloogiline. Kuigi toon tundus potsikus liiga sädelev on see tegelikkuses hoopis kumav, sõrmedega pealekandes kerge ning katsudes pigem puuderjas kui kreemine. Peal püsib hommikust õhtuni, ei kogune vagudesse ja kokkuvõttes üllatas mind väga positiivselt oma hea kvaliteediga :)

Tallinna Torupilli Selveris märkasin müügil firmat Essence, millest olen üsna tihti positiivseid arvustusi kuulnud/näinud!

Kuna väga paljud tooted olid niigi ülisoodsa hinnaga toodetel lisaks 40% allahinnatud, veetsin selles letis päris tükk aega.

Valituks osutusid Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara geel, mida kasutan kulmude fikseerimiseks (ostsin täishinnaga 2.79€ eest). Ja see toimib!!! Kulmukarvad on õhtul samas kohas, kus ma need geeli abiga hommikul pigutasin :)

Huuleläigete osas veetsin veel eriti kaua aega ja valisin välja Essence XXXL Shine huuleläike toonis #24 Just Gorgeous (40% soodustusega hinnaks 1.19€, täishind 1.99€). Huultel on see läikiv, niisutav ega kleepu üldse, toon on samuti väga nunnu :) Annan sellele isegi odava pakendi andeks ja lähen varsti uute huuleläigete järele.

Lisaks tahan soetada Essence All About Matte Primer aluskreemi, mida nägin Chloe Morello Youtube'i meigiõpetuses. Kui mu mälu mind ei peta, siis ka see toode oli Selveris 40% soodustusega :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud? Kuidas meeldivad? Mida soovitad Essence'ilt veel proovida? :)

Recent favourites...

Lately, I've been really busy and don't have a lot of time to get ready in the mornings. 

So, I've started to use less makeup and I've been reaching for all these fuss-free makeup products. Weirdly enough a lot of them are cream products :)

First of all - my Clarisonic Plus. I love the gentle exfoliation it provides and it also massages my skin and cleans it so that if I use toner or micellar water afterwards, there's not a trace of makeup left on my skin. I feel that it really does cleanse my skin thoroughly and I hope that after some time it will also help to improve my skin deep down :) I use it every other day and feel that this way it's not too harsh for me :)

One of the makeup products I actually never use are contour powders and bronzers :) But this Lancome Star Bronzer Sun-Kissed Bronzing Power is just the perfect shade to wear as an eyeshadow. It makes my eyes look so blue and bright. And it's matte, which is perfect :) For using as a bronzer, I feel that this one would look too orange in my skin tone (swatch in the middle). If I use an eyeshadow primer it also stays on the whole day :)

I've had my Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit for a long time and I really like it. The only product I almost never touched from the palette is the wax on the bottom of the kit. But after filling my eyebrows in and using my finger to warm the wax a bit and then applying it, the wax makes my eyebrows stay put for the whole day. The only downside is that the wax looks quite yucky now and I don't like my makeup looking dirty :D

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in shade #01 Black is something I think I cannot live without anymore. It makes putting mascara on my bottom lashes so easy and clean plus the mascara doesn't smudge or flake during the whole time I'm wearing it. Love it!

All kind of cream products is my new obsession. It' just so easy to apply them especially with my fingers :)
I've been wearing the cream blusher from my Sleek Blush By 3 palette in shade Pink Lemonade every single day (swatch second from left). It's very long-wearing product that gives my cheeks a fresh flush during the day :)
I've been wearing Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream eyeshadow in shade #35 On and on Bronze very often (swatch second from right). It is a shimmery colour but on some days I quite like it. A more in-depth review on Color Tattoos will come soon :)
The other cream eyeshadow I've been loving recently and that has previously featured in my favourites is Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in shade #25 Slate (swatch on the right). It's my favourite taupey grey matte shade and it truly is long wearing. I apply and blend it with my fingers which is very convenient when in a hurry :)
Surprisingly the lip product I've been reaching for most is Bellaoggi Tentazione lipstick pencil in shade #03 Candy Pink (swatch on the left). It was an impulse buy off the discount shelf. Ah, oh... it's just awesome. Matte soft pink shade that lasts a very very long time! This product proves that you don't always have to spend a fortune to get a really worthy product :)

Mu elutempo on viimasel ajal olnud ülimalt kiire - varane ärkamine ei jäta just kuigi palju aega meigi peale kulutada, seega on mul tekkinud hulk tooteid, mis aitavad paari minutiga hakkama saada.

Clarisonic Plus - see puhastab mu naha täiesti puhtaks! Kui ma pärast Clarisonic'u kasutamist oma näo tooniku või mitsellaarveega üle tõmban, on mu nahk täiesti puhas ja mingeid meigijälgi ei ole. Lisaks koorib see hellalt mu nahka ning masseerib seda. Kaifin! :D

Ma üldiselt ei kasuta kunagi ei kontuurimis- ega päikesepuudrit. Kuna mul see Lancome Star Bronzer Sun-Kissed Bronzing Power (värvinäidis keskel) sahtlis vedeles, proovisin seda lauvärvina ja ohhoooo! Mu hallid silmad muutuvad helesiniseks kui seda kasutan! Lisaks, lauvärvi aluskreemi kasutades püsib see peal terve päeva!

Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit kulmupalett on mul kasutuses olnud juba terve igaviku ja see meeldib mulle väga. Ainus toode, mida ma sellest paletist praktiliselt puutunud polnud, oli kulmuvaha. Kuid kui seda sõrmede vahel veidi soojendada ja siis värvitud kulmudele kanda, kindlustab vaha selle, et kulmud püsivad seal, kus on nende koht, kogu päeva jooksul! :)

Alates hetkest kui hakkasin kasutama spetsiaalselt alumistele ripsmetele mõeldud Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara ripsmetušši toonis #01 Black ei kujuta ma oma elu selleta enam ette. Mugav pisike harjas muudab tušši pealekandmise kergeks ja puhtaks ning see ei liigu ripsmetelt kuhugi enne kui selle maha pesen. Fantastiline!

Kreemjad tooted on ajapuuduse tõttu muutunud asendamatuks. Sestap kasutan viimasel ajal oma Sleek Blush By 3 põsepunapaleti kreemjat ruuži (värvinäidis vasakult teine) kõige sagedamini. See püsib peal terve päeva ja annab mu näole terve jume :)
Kreemjatest lauvärvidest olen viimasel ajal kõige rohkem kasutanud Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H toonis #35 On and on Bronze (värvinäidis paremalt teine). See on üsna sätendav ja seega ei kanna ma seda igapäevaselt aga vastavalt tujule ikkagi piisavalt tihti. Eraldi arvustus Color Tattoo'dest tuleb üsna pea :)
Teine lemmik kreemjas lauvärv on imeilus hallikas taupe toon, mis on ka varasemalt lemmikutes listitud olnud. Tegemist on Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow lauvärviga toonis #25 Slate (värvinäidis paremal). Tõeliselt kauakestev lauvärv, mis ei vaja aluskreemi :)
Üllatavalt on mu viimase aja enimkasutatav huuletoode Bellaoggi Tentazione huulepulga pliiats toonis #03 Candy Pink (värvinäidis vasakul). Soetasin selle mingi suvalise sooduka ajal Selverist ja ohh! Nii ilus ja matt toon, mis kestab tunde ja tunde. Toode, mis tõestab, et ülihea tulemuse saavutamiseks pole alati vaja kulutada tervet varandust :)

Urban Decay Naked3

Nii kui uudis Urban Decay Naked3 lauvärvipaletist minu postkasti saabus, teadsin, et pean selle saama.

Ja paar kuur pärast toote turule jõudmist see ilus karp mu valdusesse ka jõudis. Lausa Londonist.

Ma arvan, et minu blogi lugejate seas ei ole kedagi, kes ei teaks, et UD lauvärvid on ülimalt kvaliteetsed - väga pigmendirikkad, ülilihtsad hajutada ning toonivalik võtab silme eest täiesti kirjuks.

Kui üldse millegi üle nuriseda, siis enamasti ei meeldi mulle UD palettide kujundus.

Naked seeria on õnneks selles osas erand :)

Ilusasse karpi on pakendatud metallist palett, milles 12 roosa alatooniga lauvärvi. Paletis on kahepoolne Crease & Shadow pintsel ning 4 lauvärvi aluskreemi tooni, millest igaüht peaks jätkuma umbes nädalaks.

Kõige rohkem olen sellest paletist kasutanud toone Burnout, Liar ja Mugshot.

Toonid on selles paletis lihtsalt võrratud ja pole ime, et haaran nende järele pea igapäevaselt :)

Paletis on kolm matti (vasakpoolne pilt) ja kolm sädelevat metalliktooni (parempoolne pilt).

Paletis peidavad end ka kuus imelist pärlja lõpptulemusega tooni.

left pic from l-r: Burnout, Liar, Factory. right pic from l-r: Mugshot, Darkside, Blackheart.

As soon as the news about Urban Decay Naked3 palette came out, I knew I had to get it.

It comes in a lovely metal container, has 12 gorgeous rose-hued neutrals in it, a double-ended Crease & Shadow brush plus four eye-primer samples that each holds about week's worth of product.

The palette has 3 matte, 3 glimmering metallics and 6 gorgeous pearl shades.

I just love UD shadows - the quality is amazing. They are very pigmented, easy to blend and they stay on forever :) My most used shades are Burnout, Liar and Mugshot.

Ostud ja kingid / Recent gifts and haul

Sel korral näitan ja teen lühiarvustuse toodetest, mida olen ostnud ja kingiks saanud :)

Minu instagrami jälgijad on juba osaga neist kursis, seega:

Down Under Naturals NUDE Volumizing sarja šampoon ja palsam - ma olen jäägitult truu Matrix sarjale kuid teada on ka tõsiasi, et kui liiga pikalt sama toodet kasutada, kaob ka efekt. Seega, olles lugenud arvukalt kiitvaid arvustusi NUDE sarja kohta, soetasin seekord prooviks need (hind kummalgi 4,30€). Šampoon vahutas hästi, pesi juuksed puhtaks ja palsam muutis juuksed kergesti kammitavaks. Lühidalt - Nude sari on esialgu mu vajadused rahuldanud.

Bellaoggi pliiatshuulepulk toonis 03 Candy Pink - soetasin selle Selverist mingi aastalõpu sooduka ajal 2,99 € eest. Absoluutselt imeline toode, mis ületas mu ootused! Kusjuures, nii odava toote kohta olen enam kui meeldivalt üllatunud, et pulk on väljakeeratav. Igasugune teritamine selliste kreemjate toodete puhul on minu jaoks väga suur no-no. Toon on nii ilus ja pealekandmine imelihtne! Püsivus pole just ülipikk ja huuled peaksid enne kasutamist olema niisutatud ja siledad. Igal juhul on see toode igati uurimist ja ka täishinnaga (umbes 5 € tk) ostmist vääriv :)
Urban Decay Naked3 lauvärvipalett - kohe kui UD uue paleti uudisega välja tuli, olin sellest äärmiselt huvitatud. Kui aga paljud YT meigigurud seda kooris kiitma hakkasid, teadsin, et ühel päeval ma selle endale soetan (ühtlasi oli see ka mu salasoovide nimekirjas). Kuna hea sõbranna veetis jõulupuhkuse UK-s ja küsis, kas ma midagi soodukate ajal soetada tahan, andsin loomulikult tellimuse sisse. Nii ma jaanuari esimestel päevadel ka selle ilusa paleti omanikuks saingi. Alguses ma lihtsalt imetlesin seda ja ei raatsinud isegi sõrmega toone proovida. Täna olen kasutanud nelja tooni ja nagu ikka - UD lauvärvide kvaliteet, püsivus ja toonivalik on lihtsalt ülimalt hea :) Igal juhul soetamist väärt! Hinnaks umbes 45 eurot.
Sleek Sunset lauvärvipalett - ka see palett on minu soovinimekirjas figureerinud juba üsna pikalt. Minu pidevad lugejad juba teavad, et igasugused vasksed toonid on minu suured lemmikud. Samuti olen ma väga suur Sleek'i lauvärvide austaja - ülihea kvaliteet vägagi soodsa hinnaga. Et see on minu neljas Sleek'i palett, kõneleb paljustki. Ka selle tõi sõbranna mulle UK-st, hinnaks nende kodukal 10 €.
Clarisonic näopuhastussüsteem - loodetavasti aitab see näopesuharjake mu naha korda teha. Kuna olen seda vaid mõne korra kasutanud, ei oska veel pikemalt pajatada, kas nii ka läheb. Küll aga on see surin näol mõnus massaaž ja nahk on pärast kasutamist väga puhas ning pehme. Sain kingiks, seega hinda ei oska öelda.
Giorgio Armani Micro-Fil tolmpuuder toonis 2 - pole seda toosi isegi avanud veel aga kindlasti teen seda lähiajal. Ka see topsike tuli mulle jõulupakiga :)
Collection Lasting Perfection peitekreem toonis 2 Light - seda peitekreemi kiidavad kooris väga paljud youtube'rid. Kahjuks ei jaga ma peale paarikordset kasutamist seda vaimustust. Eks proovin edasi ja annan teada, kas on ka väärt kraam. Hinnaks umbes 5 eurot.
Collection Glam Crystals sädelev geel-lainer toonis 4 Hustle - see tuli peitekreemi ostul boonusena kaasa. Õhtumeiki saab sellega edukalt sädelevamaks muuta, kerge peale kanda ja püsivus ka täitsa ok :)

Here are some of the things I got as a present and have bought recently :)

Down Under Naturals NUDE Volumizing shampoo and conditioner - I really love all of the Matrix products I've been using for years but I also know that if you keep using the same stuff for too long, the effect will eventually vanish. So, after reading a lot of praising reviews, I decided to try these ones. After using them for few times I can say that these are very nice products and also very cheap :) Lathers well and the conditioner detangles my hair very well. So I suggest you try it out. Btw, it keeps my hair clean for two days and on the third I need some dry shampoo. Big thumbs up :)

Bellaoggi lipstick pen in 03 Candy Pink - I got it on sale at Christmas and it really amazed me. Easy to use, you don't have to sharpen it, nice on the lips and stays on quite well. Also the colour range is pretty wide. I guess I'm going to purchase a few more shades ;)
Urban Decay Naked3 eyeshadow palette - as soon as the news about the new palette came out, I knew I have to have it! So, my friend who was in UK bought it for me. As usual the quality is amazing and the tones just divine :) (it was also featured in my recent wishlist).
Sleek Sunset eyeshadow palette - I just love all kind of coppery shades and I've been wanting this lovely palette for a long time. It was also brought from UK. I really like Sleek eyeshadows' quality and for the price they are just amazing! This palette is my fourth from Sleek and that means they are really worth checking out :)
Clarisonic - hopefully it will help my skin's condition. Haven't used it long enough to properly review it but definitely will in the future. I love the feeling when the brush massages my skin and it feels really clean and soft afterwards. Got it as a gift :)
Giorgio Armani Micro-Fil loose powder in shade 2 - I haven't yet tried it but will pretty soon :) Got it as a gift :)
Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in shade 2 Light - so many people on YT praise it but after using it for few times I can't say that it's really that amazing. We'll see how it goes :) Got it from UK for about 5 euros.
Collection Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel Liner in shade 4 Hustle - it came as a gift with the concealer. It's very sparkly and is very easy to use. Perfect for a night out :)

Ostud… / Latest haul...

Paari viimase nädala jooksul olen soetanud päris mitu asja ning enamiku neist ka ära proovinud, seega alustagem algusest:

Avonist seotasin Big Colour silmapliiatsi toonis Pink Diamond - tegemist kreemja lauvärvipulgaga, mille suurim miinus on see, et seda tuleb teritada ja igasugust plastmassi on väga tüütu nüsida. Vähemalt minul saab absoluutselt alati nii süsi kui kest korralikult kannatada. Toon on väga õrn ja vajab enda alla kindlasti aluskreemi, vastasel juhul on see lauvärv küll paari tunniga laugudelt vehkat teinud.

Planet Spa sarja Sleep Serenity kummeli ja lavendliga padjasprei on väga mõnusa ja rahustava lõhnaga küll aga on see üsna vänge, mis tähendab, et padja pihustamisel tasub olla ettevaatlik :)

Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying surnumere mineraalidega näokoorijat ja -maski pole ma veel kasutanud. Maski proovin kindlasti lähipäevil, koorija jääb ootama aega, mil kasutusel olevast viimased tilgad välja pigistan :) Kuna Avoni hinnad on igas kataloogis erinevad, soovitan huvi korral külastada nende kodulehte või minu poole pöörduda :)

Vichy Purete Thermale 3in1 rahustav ja puhastav mitsellaarvesi on minu kõige hiljutisem ost, mida olen kasutanud vaid korra. Esmamulje on väga hea välja arvatud see, et silmameigi eemaldamine nõuab veidi rohkem tööd. Eks näis, kuidas see mu vaevatud ja probleemsele nahale pikema kasutusaja järel mõjub. Ostsin apteegist hinnaga 17,50 €.

Sügavpuhastavat šampooni olen juba pikka aega mõelnud osta ja lõpuks sain hakkama :D Varem pole ma taolisi tooteid kasutanud. Need paar korda, mil mõnusat sidrunilõhnalist Paul Mitchell Clarifying šampooni kasutanud olen, olen rahule jäänud. Juuksed on puhtad ja kohevad kuid ei saaks öelda, et need kauem kui tavalise pesuvahendiga puhtad püsiksid. Hind oli umbes 12 €.

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector huuleläige/palsam on üks mu kõige lemmikumaid huuletooteid! Seda eriti talvisel hooajal. Niisutab, ravib, ei kleepu, annab ilusa värvi ja läike, lõhnab nii mõnusalt vanilliselt ning maitseb magus :D Hind on umbes 17 eurot aga mina sain selle alla 10 euroga kätte, sest kasutasin Partnerkaadile kogunenud punkte ning soodustust. Varasemalt oli mul toon 02 ja seekord soetasin tooni 05.

Kas sul on kogemust mõnega neist toodetest?

:)(:

Although I haven't had the time to be extra active in blogging, I still managed to buy some new stuff. Some out of necessity and some out of curiosity ;D

My biggest haul was from Avon again - I got Big Colour Eye Pencil in Pink Diamond. It's a lovely sparkly light pink shade, which is very creamy but doesn't last more than for few hours. So an eyeshadow primer is a must with this product. One thing I really dislike about it, is that you have to sharpen it… These type of eye/lip pencils always get ruined after I sharpen them, so we'll see how this one will hold up.

Planet Spa Sleep Serenity pillow mist with camomile and lavender smells so lovely and calming but you shouldn't spray it very generously, otherwise you're not going to be able to sleep :D

I haven't yet tried Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying face scrub and mask but will soon and I promise to let you know how I like them :)

I've never used deep cleansing shampoos before and my first purchase of the kind was Paul Mitchell Clarifying shampoo. It smells like lemon, makes my hair really clean and gives volume, which I love. It doesn't keep my hair clean for longer than normal shampoos but I'm still happy with my purchase.

My latest buy was Vichy Purete Thermale 3in1 calming cleansing micellar water. I have used it only once and loved it except that it didn't get rid of my eye makeup and mascara very easily. We'll see how it goes after I've used it for longer.

One of my most favourite lip products I recently repurchased is Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. I've used up shade 02 and now got 05. It's moisturising, soothing, isn't sticky, gives a nice colour and shine, smells like vanilla and tastes sweet :) Love it, love it, love it!!!

Salasoovid #1 / Wishlist #1

Soovid ei saa iialgi otsa… Ja minusugusel ilu ja naiselike asjade fanaatikul on alati midagi hingel, mis muudkui painab ning enamasti varem või hiljem ka tee minuni leiab  :D

***

Loomulikult ei puudu minu salasoovide nimekirjast hetke hitt - Urban Decay Naked3 lauvärvipalett (hind umbes 50 eurot ). Nende esimene palett oli minu eelmise aasta lemmikute hulgas ning veebis ringlevad arvustused kolmandale paletile ei anna põhjust kahelda, et kui ma kord selle enda valdusesse saan, lõpetab ka see aasta lemmikutes :) 

Ma pole kunagi proovinud geel-lainereid, seega miks mitte alustada paljukiidetud Maybelline Lasting Drama lainerist, millega tuleb kaasa ka sobiv pintsel (hind olenevalt müügikohast umbes 12 eurot).

Mul on nõrkus vasksete lauvärvitoonide vastu ja sestap tahan oma olemasolevatele palettidele lisaks (vt siit ja siit) kindlasti soetada ka Sleek Sunset lauvärvipaleti  (hind 10 eurot).

Olles oma lainerijoone tehnikat viimasel ajal tublisti lihvinud, tahan proovida lisaks pidulikule mustale ka erinevaid mahedamaid ja igapäevasemaid toone. Meie müügikohtade valik on üsna kesine kuid kui võimalus avaneks, ajaksin oma küüned taha kõigile neile imelistele Bourjois Liquid Eyeliner toonidele (hind teadmata).

No matter how much stuff I already have, there is always something I want and need :D

First of all, of course, the already notorious Urban Decay Naked3 eyeshadow palette. I have the first one and it ended up in my favourites of 2012 :)

I haven't yet tried a gel eyeliner, so it would be wise to start with a cheaper but still very well reviewed Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner which comes with a suitable brush.

My love for Sleek eyeshadows and all kind of coppery shades is huge (read more here and here), so of course I just can't help it but wish for their Sunset palette!

Since I have improved my skills on creating a quite decent cat-eye liner, I would love to try using other shades than black on daily basis. If they had these adorable Bourjois Liquid Eyeliner in stores here, I would buy them all and just line the way :D

Goodies from UK

There was a parcel with goodies from UK in my mail recently. I already have several products from these brands, so I know the quality will be good and I'm not going to be disappointed.

First there is a set of 4 brushes from Real Techniques: contour brush, expert face brush, pointed foundation and foundation brush. I have high hopes for expert face brush and foundation brush and will let you know about them :)

Then there were two palettes From Sleek i-Divine range. I already have two palettes and have been peeking at these two for a year on Sleek website now.

I got 601 Au Naturel and 578 Storm. The first one has 8 matte and 4 shimmery eyeshadows and the Storm has 3 matte and 9 shimmery shadows. I love the quality: they are very soft, almost creamy texture, highly pigmented, the colours in the palettes are picked out very well and they are really affordable :) I really love them and think that they are definitely worth checking out :)

Mõni nädal tagasi sain paki, milles kolm ilutoodet UK-st.

Kõiki neid brände olen kasutanud varemgi ja tegemist ülihea kvaliteediga toodetega, mida saab soetada äärmiselt mõistliku hinnaga. :)

Kõigepealt komplekt Real Techniques pintslitega: contour brush, expert face brush, pointed foundation ja foundation brush. Ma pole veel neist ühtegi proovinud kuid ootused expert face ja foundation brush'ile on suured. 

Järgmisena kaks lauvärvipaletti firmalt Sleek. Mul juba on kaks paletti, millest olen kirjutanud siin. Sellise hinnaga ja niivõrd hea kvaliteediga palette ma teistelt firmadelt ei teagi.

Minu pakis siis Sleek i-Divine paletid toonis 601 Au Naturel ja 578 Storm. Neid palette olen ma juba enam kui aasta Sleek'i kodukal piilumas käinud ja üks palett kripeldab veel :)

Esimeses on 8 matti ja 4 sädelevat tooni ning teises 3 matti ja 9 sädelevat tooni. Mulle väga meeldib Sleek'i kvaliteet: lauvärvid on ülipehmed, väga pigmenteeritud, toonivalik palettides on väga hästi komplekteeritud ja hind on enam kui taskukohane. Kes iganes õhkab Urban Decay Naked palettide järele, soovitan pigem külastada Sleeki kodulehte ja tellida sama raha eest 3-4 paletti, mis kvaliteedilt sugugi alla ei jää. Eestisse postitatakse neid ka :)

Helena Rubinstein Wanted Eyes Palette

Hetkel kui ma umbes aasta tagasi kingikarbist välja võtsin ja avasin Helena Rubinstein Wanted Eyes lauvärvipaleti toonis 05. caramel-lavender, ma lausa ahhetasin. Kui kaunid on need toonid ja kui imeliselt need kokku sobivad, moodustades lausa hingematva kombinatsiooni!
Tegemist on sädelevate lauvärvidega, mida võiks ehk isegi metallikuks pidada kuid neid silmale kandes ei ole võimalik oma meiki odavaks diskopalliks muuta. Üks minu absoluutne lemmikpalett, mida kandes saan alati komplimente.

Kusjuures, oma hallide silmadega tuleks mul pigem lillakatest toonidest hoiduda kuid karbis kõige alumine tume kanarbikuvärv sobib mulle nii hästi, et just seda kannan kõige tihedamini.

Ilmselt pole isegi vajadust kiita lauvärvide püsivust ja kasutusmugavust, ka see on lihtsalt super!

Karp on ilusa kujundusega, peegelkattega, sisaldab nelja lauvärvitooni, kaheotsalist aplikaatorit ja pisikest pintslit hajutamiseks ning suurt ja mugavat peeglit :)

When I first laid my eyes on Helena Rubinstein Wanted Eyes Palette in shade 05. caramel-lavender, I almost fainted. How gorgeous are these colours and how well combined in this palette?!

I always get a lot of compliments wearing these and especially the darker lavender shade in the bottom.
These are highly pigmented, almost metallic eyeshadows which you can never create a cheap disco-ball makeup with.

They last long and are easy to blend. Do I have to say anything else to prove that I'm absolutely in love with this palette :)

It comes in a lovely mirror-effect box, has 4 shadows, one double-ended applicator, one tiny blending brush and a huge mirror in it.

Just sooooooo perfect!
