Empties #22

It's been months since I last did an empties post so let me show you my recent stash of trash :)

Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo & Baby Wash - few months ago I switched 100% of my daughter's skin and haircare products to natural ones and have been using this 2in1 product on her hair and body since. It's very creamy, foams well, cleans well and her hair doesn't need conditioning after using it. Already have new bottle and will be repurchasing especially because this product is 100% natural.
Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in #52 Vanilla - I really like this foundation and have had it many times. This shade suits me in colder months and I'm pretty sure that I'll repurchase it again.
IsaDora Brush Cleanser - I have a separate review on it HERE. I didn't like it for deep cleaning my makeup brushes because it didn't work that well but it works fine for spot cleaning and after washing my brushes with soap I liked using it for desinfecting my brushes since it has alcohol in it. Not sure if I'd repurchase though :)
e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - this is the first pot I've ever had and at first the glitter particles that are in the powder put me off of it. But I grew to loving it and when I heard that e.l.f. changed the powder so that there aren't any glitter in it I was happy to repurchase. And the rumours were true, the powder is now glitter free and I use it even more often than my NARS powder. I buy mine from iHerb and if you haven't shopped there before you can save up to $10 using my code LWH786.
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age concealer - I had such high hopes for this one because everybody was raving about it all over social media. It didn't have enough coverage for my dark blue under eye area but I used it up nevertheless. I liked using it instead of foundation on days that I really couldn't bother putting on full face of makeup. The wet consistency was perfect for that. Not gonna repurchase still.
Stenders Hydrating Wild Rose Facial Gel - it was a very nice and light moisturizer to use daily under makeup. Loved the consistency and the feel of it. Would repurchase:)
Catrice Liquid Camouflage concealer in #010 Porcellain - I have a full review on this concealer and I really love it til this day. Porcellain is perfect for colder months and right now I'm almost through 020 Light Beige. Super good coverage and I will definitely repurchase!
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash Mascara - I think this was the third or fourth tube of this mascara and I already have a new one. I love the wand and when it's been opened for a week or so, it gets even better. Plus it's super affordable while on sale :)
Oriflame The One Hypnotic Depth Mascara - this mascara was okay but nothing remarkable so I will stick to the one mentioned above from now on and will not experiment anymore :)
Turbliss Bioactive Firming and Toning Face Mask - this is an Estonian brand that uses peat in their products. I bought a small jar to try it out and unfortunately I'm not a big fan. Even though the packaging says that it's normal for your face to be red for a short while after using this mask, my face was bright red for half a day. So the next time I was ready to try this mask again, it was expired and I didn't dare to risk it.
Travalo - unfortunately mine broke somehow and I need to go and buy a new one because I find it really convenient to travel with or take perfume with you instead of carrying a big bottle around.

Aeg on järjekordselt ette näidata hunnik tühje potsikuid :)

Weleda Baby saialille šampoon-dušikreem - mõned kuud tagasi otsustasin mini-me keha- ja juuksehoolduse vahetada loodusliku vastu ja see Weleda kaks ühes toode on väga mugav. See vahutab hästi, on kreemjas ja niisutav ning pole vaja kasutada juuksepalsamit. Juba on järgmine pudel kasutuses ja ilmselt ostan seda ka edaspidi :)
Bourjois Healthy Mix jumestuskreem toonis #52 Vanilla - ma isegi ei tea, mitmes pudel see mul eluajal olnud on aga kindlasti on see üks pikaajalisi lemmikuid. Toon 52 sobib mulle just külmemal aastaajal ja kindlasti ostan seda ka edaspidi :)
Isadora pintslipuhasjata - kirjutasin sellest tootest eraldi SIIN. Minu arvates sobib see pigem spot-cleaning'uks ja pärast mõne muu vahendiga pesemist pintslite desinfitseerimiseks. Minu jaoks jäi sellel tootel jõudu väheks, seega uuesti ilmselt ei ostaks...
e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - spetsiaalne puuder just silmade all kasutamiseks. Kui ma selle puudritopsi esmakordselt avasin, ei meeldinud mulle kopsakad säratükid, mis puudri sees olid. Mõnda aega ma seda ei kasutanud kuid võtsin uuesti ette ja kasutasin viimse grammini ära. Väga peene koostisega puuder ning nüüd on e.l.f. selle seest ka säratükid eemaldanud, mis teeb sellest täiusliku toote. Mina ostan seda iHerbist ja kui sa pole varem sellest veebipoest midagi ostnud, siis võid minu koodi LWH786 kasutades säästa kuni 10$.
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age peitekreem - väga ülehaibitud toode terves internetis ning see on ilmselt ka põhjus, miks ma nii jubedalt pettusin. See ei kata mu siniseid silmaaluseid ja on väga vedela/märja koostisega, mistõttu sobib see rohkem pigem jumestuskreemiks kui peitmiseks.
Stenders niisutav näogeel Metsik Roos - kerge geeljas koostis, mis niisutas nahka, imendus väga kiiresti ja sobis seetõttu hästi just meigi alla. Oma kerguse poolest sobibki pigem soojemal ajal kasutamiseks :)
Catrice Liquid Camouflage peitekreem - kirjutasin sellest peitekreemist SIIN. Siiani parim peitekreem oma väga tugeva katvuse poolest. Uus tuub juba peaaegu tühi ning kindlasti lähen ja ostan uuesti.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash ripsmetušš - ülihea leid ning kohe kui see tuub otsa sai, ootasin ära järgmise sooduka ja tellisin kohe uue. Eriti heaks muutub see pärast umbes nädalast kasutamist. Kõige lemmikum osa on selle tuši hari, kus ühel pool olevad lühikesed harjased ulatuvad väga ripsmejuure lähedale ilma, et tervet laugu täis mäkerdaks :)
Oriflame The One Hypnotic Depth ripsmetušš - see oli üsna tavaline tušš, mis oli okei aga mingit hüpnotiseerivat sügavust mu pilk sellega ei saavutanud. Edaspidi jään siiski pigem ülalmainitud tuši juurde :)
TurBliss bioaktiivne turbamask probleemsele nahale - tahtsin juba ammu proovida turbamaski ja soetasin prooviks väikese tuubi TurBlissi näomaski. Toote kirjelduses öeldakse, et kerge punetus on normaalne ja taandub pärast maski mahapesemist kiiresti kuid minu nägu oli kirsipunane pool päeva. Selleks hetkeks kui julgesin maski uuesti proovida oli selle säilivusaeg juba läbi ning ei tahtnud enam riskida...
Travalo - mul on hästi kahju, et minu truu parfüümihoidik lõpuks katki läks. Travalo on väga mugav viis parfüümi kaasas kanda. Vanasti müüdi seda vaid Kaubamajas, nüüd leidsin selle kiire guugeldamise peale Lovertest.

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.

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.

Empties #20 pt I

Even though all of these items are long gone into the trash, I still want to talk about why or if I'd repurchase them. I will break this into two parts because it's been ages since my last empties post and nobody would manage to read all of it in one go :D

Hair & body

Rexona Invisible pure 0% alcohol anti-perspirant  - this anti-perspirant stick really did its job very well and the scent wasn't overpowering. It's affordable and effective so I would repurchase :)

Avon Senses Romantic Garden of Eden shower gel - it had a sweet floral scent, made me clean and didn't dry my skin out. What else would you want from a body wash, right?

Redken Blonde Glam shampoo - I really, really, really liked this shampoo a lot. I didn't even feel the need for a conditioner. Love it and would repurchase it any minute but it's been discontinued :(

Garnier Fructis Thick&Gorgeous Fortifying conditioner - this conditioner was okay but nothing special. I didn't notice any effect on my hair that's promised on the bottle, so I wouldn't buy it again.

Oriflame Nature Secrets Mint&Raspberry anti-perspirant - this roll-on deodorant was also very effective and I can't even count how many of these I've used up in my life. One of my favourites which I will always repurchase.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cool&Crisp Fresh and Clean&Classic Original - I always have at least one bottle of Batiste dry shampoo in the house so don't be too surprised to see one in every empties' post :) I liked the Original version more, it seemed to be more effective than the Cool&Crisp one. I already have the original version repurchased :)

Face & eyes

Oriflame Feet Up Fresh berries & raspberry foot scrub - I honestly don't know why foot scrub is on the same picture as face and eyes products but yeah, let it be :D This scrub was a gel with scrubbing particles in it. I didn't like it because there were not enough scrubbing particles and so it was too mild if not to say completely useless. Not buying that one again.

Premier Eye Serum - I bought it last year during our annual beauty fair. It took ages to massage in and makeup didn't sit on it at all. So I started to use it only at night but still it took too long and I didn't see any visible results. I would rather spend my 80€ on something else next time.

Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Mask with Cucumber - they say it's moisturizing, purifying and soothing. This was my first experience with tissue masks and to be honest, I didn't find it as satisfying as usual clay or peel-off face masks. Also I didn't notice a purifying effect and even though my face was covered with soaking wet cloth my skin didn't feel extremely hydrated after using it. Probably will not repurchase.

JOIK Refreshing Peppermint & Green Tea facial mask - this one is still in the old packaging and since it was expired I had to throw it away. I'm not a big fan of masks that I have to mix myself but I actually liked the effect of this mask so I would repurchase it again in the future. 

United Exchange Face Cleansing strips - these strips are quite good and effective but you should be careful not to leave them on for too long because removing the strips will get rather painful. There are 3 strips in the pack and I managed to use them around my nose area not on my chin and forehead as the picture on the packaging suggest. I would repurchase these again and the affordable price of these is pure bonus :)

Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealizer - I liked this eye cream a lot. It's moisturizing but at the same time perfect under makeup. I also liked the applicator and that it comes in a tube. I think my wrinkles around my eyes appeared less visible so definitely a product I will buy again in the future.

P.S. If you're about to order from iHerb for the first time, use my code LWH786 to get up to $10 off your order :)

Kuigi kõik need potsikud on juba ammu prügikastis, olen ikkagi võlgu postituse oma viimaste kuude jooksul tühjaks saanud toodetest. Kuna taarat on kogunenud väga palju, kirjutan seekord kahes osas ja esimesena keha, juuste, näo ja silmatoodetest.

Juuksed & keha

Rexona Invisible pure 0% alcohol anti-perspirant - see pulkdeodorant oli väga efektiivne ja tagasihoidliku lõhnaga, mis kuidagi ei häirinud. Hea toode, mille soetaksin ilmselt uuesti, boonuseks hea hind :)

Avon Senses Romantic Garden of Eden dušigeel - see dušigeel lõhnas magusalt ja lilleliselt, pesi puhtaks ega kuivatanud nahka. Midagi rohkemat ma ühelt kehaseebilt ei ootagi, sega igati väärt uuesti soetamist :)

Redken Blonde Glam šampoon - ma tõesti nautisin selle šampooni kasutamist ning isegi ei tundnud vajadust palsami järele. Kahjuks seda sarja enam ei toodeta kuid kui seda kuskil veel müügil oleks, tormaksin kohe uue pudeli järele.

Garnier Fructis Thick&Gorgeous Fortifying palsam - mitte millegi poolest eriline palsam, mis minu juustele pakendil lubatud efekti ei andnud. Seega jääb see sari edaspidi minust poeriiulitele.

Oriflame Nature Secrets Mint&Raspberry anti-perspirant - roll-on deodorant, mida olen juba lugematu arv kordi tühjaks kasutanud ning kindlasti ostan ka edaspidi. Hea lõhnaga ja väga efektiivne toode.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Cool&Crisp Fresh ja Clean&Classic Original kuivšampoon - mul on alati kodus vähemalt üks pudel Batiste kuivšampooni, seega ei maksa imestada, et igas järgmises empties postituses see jälle olemas on. Mulle meeldis rohkem Original versioon, oli tõhusam kui Cool&Crisp, seega viimast ma enam ei ostaks ja uus pudel Original'i on mul juba kodus olemas :)

Nägu & silmad

Oriflame Feet Up Fresh berries & raspberry jalakoorija - mul pole õrna aimugi, miks jalakoorija on samal pildil näotoodetega :D Selle jalakoorija näol on tegemist geeliga, milles koorivad osakesed. Minu arvates oli selle toote efekt nullilähedane, sest koorivaid osakesi oli liiga vähe. Rohkem ei osta.

Premier Eye Serum - selle seerumi ostsin eelmisel aastal Ilumessilt. Seerumi parima efekti saavutamiseks tuleb seda pikka aega silma ümbrusesse masseerida. Meigi alla ei sobinud see üldse ja kogu kasutamise protsess oli liiga aeganõudev, lisaks ei näinud ma ka mingit erilist efekti. Edaspidi kulutan need 80€ mõne teise toote peale :(

Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Mask with Cucumber - see oli minu esimene kogemus kangasmaski kasutamisel. Ma ei saaks öelda, et see mulle rohkem meeldiks kui klassikaline savi- või kilemaski kasutamine. Pakil lubatakse niisutavat, rahustavat ja puhastavat efekti. Ma kahjuks ei tajunud nähtavat puhastavat efekti ja kuigi mu nägu oli kaetud läbimärja riidega, ei tundnud ma pärast maski kasutamist, et nahk oleks ülemäära rohkem niisutatud. Esmakordse kasutamise järel ma seda rohkem ei soetaks.

JOIK värskendav näomask rohelise tee ja piparmündiga - see mask oli mul veel vanas pakendis ja pidin sellest loobuma põhjusel, et selle säilivusaeg oli juba möödunud. Kuigi ma ei armasta eriti maske, mida pean ise kokku segama, meeldis selle maski efekt mulle väga. Seega olen valmis seda uuesti soetama ja uued pakendid on ka mitu korda mugavamad kui see vana versioon :)

United Exchange Face Cleansing strips - pakis on kolm poore puhastavat "kleepsu", mida mina kasutasin nina ümbruses mitte laubal ja lõual nagu pilt pakendil soovitab. Kleebised on üsna efektiivsed pooride puhastamisel kuid tuleb hoolikalt jälgida, et kleeps liiga pikaks ajaks nahale ei jää, sest siis on selle eemaldamine väga valus. iHerb'is on see ka tavahinnaga väga soodne, seega oma järgmise tellimusega lisan need kindlasti oma ostukorvi.

Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealizer - mulle väga meeldis see silmakreem nii mugava pakendi kui ka niisutava ja peenete kortsukese vähemmärgatavaks muutmise tõttu. Kindlasti toode, mida ostaksin uuesti, sest see sobis imehästi ka meigi all kasutamiseks :)

P.S. Kui hakkad esimest korda iHerb'ist tellima, kasuta koodi LWH786 ja saad oma ostult kuni 10$ soodustust :)

Makeup Revolution London Lip Products

If I have a makeup item obsession then my weakness is lipsticks :) 

(You can see my lipstick collection from two years ago that has expanded a lot by now HERE)

I've lost count of how many I have at the moment and I don't really care :) Whenever I feel down, stressed and just pissed off about everything buying lipstick always makes me feel better :D

I recently discovered Makeup Revolution London, did some research on what to order and was SO happy to discover that I can get a very good quality lipsticks starting with just £1! Yay!

With my first order I got these items that I found good reviews on:

Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquer in What I Believe - this is a lip gloss that dries matte and is something like liquid lipstick. The shade is quite bright which makes it more suitable for summer. It does make my lips feel dry but it's not something too unbearable if I apply lip balm before or a regular gloss on top.

Amazing Lipgloss in Nude Shimmer - almost see-through light pink lip gloss that goes on top of every lipstick shade. Not too sticky and sheer enough to whack on without a mirror :)

Amazing Lipstick in The One, Ruby and 100% Vamp - I just can't believe how cheap these truly amazing lipsticks are! I love Ruby because it's a classic red that has slightly pink undertone and 100% Vamp is something I've never had in my collection. I cannot apply it as it is in the tube because I will look dead but applied sheer it makes me look so chic and like million bucks :D 

Unfortunately The One is too nude for me and doesn't flatter my skin tone (I'm fair and slightly olive undertone) but those who like skin coloured nudes will love it!

I strongly suggest you check out Makeup Revolution London because the reviews are great and prices even better! I think I will order some more of the Amazing Lipsticks and some of their eye shadow palettes because its rumoured in social media that they have great dupes for most of the raved high-end palettes out there ;)

Hiljuti avastasin enda jaoks vägagi taskukohase kosmeetikabrändi Makeup Revolution London. Tegin veidi taustauuringut ning tellisin mõned tooted huultele, sest just huulepulgad on minu nõrk koht ja neid pole kunagi liiga palju :)

Salvation Velvet Lip Laqcuer toonis What I Believe ( £3 ehk umbes 4€) - ere matt roosa huuleläige, mida võiks pigem iseloomustada kui vedelat huulepulka. Huuled muutuvad seda kandes kuivaks kuid kui enne kasutada huulepalsamit või lisada peale hoopis huuleläiget, on see üsna mugav ja püsib pikalt.
Amazing Lipgloss toonis Nude Shimmer (£1 ehk umbes 1.35€) - peaaegu läbipaistev heleroosa huuleläige, mis sobib iga huulepulga tooni peale ja mida on võimalik mugavalt ilma peeglita peale kanda.
Amazing Lipstick toonides The One, Ruby ja 100% Vamp (£1 ehk umbes 1.35€)- väga mõnusad huulepulgad, mille kvaliteet on sellise hinna kohta lausa suurepärane. Nahavärvi toon The One mulle kahjuks ei sobi, Ruby on klassikaline punane, millel kerge roosa alatoon ja seetõttu sobib minu jumega väga hästi. 100% Vamp on väga tume ploomitoon, mida ma otse tuubist peale kanda ei saa kuid huuli õrnalt huulepulgaga tupsutades ning värvi hajutades annab see väga šiki tulemuse.

Üldiselt jäin oma esimese tellimusega rahule, pakk jõudis ilusti Eestisse kohale ja liitudes uudiskirjaga saad esimesena teada headest pakkumistest, mida laekub küll iga nädal :)

Kas oled sellest brändist varem midagi kuulnud ja nende tooteid proovinud?

Review: Kiehl's for eyes

Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram know that about 3 weeks ago I went to our local Kiehl's counter to get a few things and as per usual, I came back with loads of samples as well :)

Today I want to tell you about two products that I instantly fell in love with :)

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - I wanted to get my hands on this eye cream for a very long time and I'm happy I finally did. It is a very creamy and moisturising eye treatment that will keep your delicate eye area super moisturised and will make your fine lines a lot less visible. The magic trick of this product is that you have to pat it in with your ring finger instead of rubbing it back and forth for it to sink in. 

I use a thicker layer at night and a small amount in the morning. I will let it sit for few minutes and that way it'll keep my eye area moisturised and nourished through out the day and will work very well under makeup.

I would especially recommend it for ladies in their 30s and up and to those that like to use a heavy coverage concealer around the eyes :)

Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector SPF 30 - I think the best way to describe this product would be a corrector for your dark under-eye circles that will neutralise the blue/purple skin tone. You only need a sesame seed size drop of this cream to cover both your under-eyes. Please bear in mind that this is not a concealer but a product that will help neutralise the dark tones. 

I put it on first, then apply my foundation and if needed apply concealer on top. It also works well on top of foundation.

By the way, on weekends, this dark circle perfector is enough coverage for me because I like to rock the no-makeup-makeup look at that time and don't even bother with concealer :)

I got the sample of this product and by the look of it I'm gonna go and purchase a full size :)

:)(:

Need, kes jälgivad mind Facebook'is ja Instagram'is teavad, et paar nädalat tagasi käisin ma Tallinna Kaubamaja Kiehl'si letis mõnd asja soetamas ja ühtlasi ka uurimas, mis uudist :)

Täna räägin kahest silmaümbruse tootest, mis koheselt mu südame võitsid ja jäävad nüüdsest minu truuks kaaslaseks ka edaspidi :)

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - seda avokaadoga niisutavat silmakreemi tahtsin ma juba ammu proovida ja mul on väga hea meel, et see mul nüüd olemas on. See on ülimalt niisutav kreem, mis muudab peened kortsud vähem märgatavaks ja toidab rikkalikult õrna silmaümbruse nahka. Õhtuti kannan seda kreemi paksema kihina ning hommikuti kõigest nööpnõelapea suuruse tilga. Selliselt toimib see hästi ka meigi all. Tähtis on seda kreemi mitte silmade ümbrusesse hõõruda vaid õrnalt tupsutada, selliselt imendub see koheselt.

Eriti soovitan seda niisutavat silmakreemi 30+ daamidele ning neile, kes armastavad tihkemat peitekreemi silmade all kasutada. 

Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector SPF 30 - parim viis selle toote kirjeldamiseks oleks korrektor. Tegemist pole kindlasti peitekreemiga vaid tootega, mis neutraliseerib tumedad rõngad silmade all. Mina kasutan seda esimese sammuna oma meigis - piisab seesamiseemne suurusest kogusest, et katta mõlemad silmaalused. Seejärel kannan nahale jumestuskreemi ja kui tunnen vajadust, alles siis peitekreemi.

Muide, nädalavahetustel kui ma üldiselt kannan võimalikult naturaalset meiki, piisab sellest korrektorist mulle täielikult, et peita tumedaid silmaaluseid :)

Hetkel on mul olemas vaid tester kuid olen enam kui kindel, et lähen õige pea täissuuruses toodet ostma ning et sellest saab minu kosmeetikakotis pikaaegne must-have!

STENDERS Wild Rose

Few months ago STENDERS, a Latvian origin natural cosmetic brand offered me to try some of their new Wild Rose products.

I was really surprised to find three full size products in my goodie bag plus a handful of samples.

I got full size of  Eye and lip makeup remover, Micellar water and Hydrating facial gel.

I was a bit hesitant at first because I am not usually a big fan of rose scents but luckily these products doesn't smell like the typical cheap chemical rose stuff but are very mild and pleasant to my nose :D

I like the micellar water and think that it would be a great gift for someone who can appreciate natural products :)

The hydrating facial gel is very suitable for younger skin and during warm seasons because it's very light yet moisturising and is great under makeup.

One of my favourites from the bunch is the eye and lip makeup remover which is a dual-fase product - it has oil in it which means you need to shake it well before using it and it will remove all of your eye makeup including a heavy smokey eye. Really love it :)

But the gem of this range that I didn't even get a full size of is Stenders' Gentle facial exfoliator which I went and bought full size :)

In my goodie bag I got two samples of this exfoliator and after using it once I was hooked. This product reminds me of acid exfoliator which means that I can't see or feel any exfoliating particles but somehow after rubbing this gel on my face for a few seconds all the dead skin cells start to roll off my face. It looks gross and feels funny but believe me, the result is amazing - my face feels really soft and my skin radiates after using it!

So if I have to recommend only one product from this whole range I would suggest you run and get the exfoliator! I don't think I will use any other scrub on my face in the near future :)

Oh, and by the way, can we please appreciate the packaging? I love the pump system of their products - I feel that none of the product goes to waste :)

Paar kuud tagasi sain STENDERS'ilt kingituseks nende uue Metsiku Roosi sarja tooteid.

Suur oli mu üllatus kui kingikotis oli kolm täissuuruses toodet ja peotäis testreid! :)

Ma pole suuremat sorti roosilõhnaliste toodete fänn, sest tihtilugu lõhnavad need liiga magusalt ja keemiliselt. Stenders'i Metsiku Roosi sarja tooted seevastu on õrna lillelise aroomiga, mis minu tundlikule ninale vägagi sobib :)

Minu kotis olid järgmised tooted - mitsellaarvesi, silma-ja huulekosmeetika eemaldamise vahend ning niisutav näogeel.

Mitsellaarvesi teeb oma tööd hästi ja on kindlasti luksuslik kingitus inimesele, kes hindab loodulikku koostist.

Niisutav näogeel sobib ka nooremale nahale just oma kerguse poolest ning soojemal aastaajal. Olles samaaegselt niisutav kuid kiiresti imenduv, sobib see hästi meigi alla :)

Üks minu lemmikutest sellest sarjast on silma- ja huulekosmeetika eemaldamise vahend, mis on kahefaasiline, st et sisaldab endas ka õli. Seda toodet tuleb kõigepealt päris korralikult raputada ning seejärel eemaldab see ka kõige tugevama suitsusilma kiirelt ja kergelt.

Terve sarja absoluutne lemmik on minu jaoks aga hoopis Õrnalt puhastav näokoorija. Minu kingikotis oli selle toote kaks sämplit ja pärast esimese proovimist teadsin, et lähen täissuuruses toodet ostma!

Oma olemuselt meenutab see koorija hoopis happekoorijat, sest pole ei näha ega tunda mingeid koorivaid "graanuleid". Pärast seda kui olen geeli mõned sekundid nahal hõõrunud, hakkab kui imeväel nahalt kooruma surnud naharakke. Kogu see protsess on ühtaegu nii jäle kui ka lõbus ning tulemuseks on siidpehme ja kiirgav näonahk!

Mul on tunne, et see näokoorija jääb minuga päris pikaks ajaks :)

Muuseas, Stenders'i toodetel on ülilahedad pakendid! Sellist pumpa pole ma teistel brändidel eriti tihti kohanud :)

My face mask collection

If you've been with me for a while you know that lately I've been interested in face masks. So I've been trying out quite a few for over a year already and I think I now know what I like and need from a face mask.

The main thing about face mask for me is that I need to see/feel instant results after using it. If I don't see or feel anything special after using a mask, I'm not going to keep trying it out.

Is it the same for you?

So here are the masks I currently use. I mainly have two types of masks - ones that are suppose to clear out my skin and ones that are soothing/moisturising.

I do have some that I have tried and didn't like so if you'd like me to explain why I didn't like them, leave a comment below.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash/Mask - you can use this product as a daily face wash to help reduce spots or as a face mask to purify and unclog pores. I never use this daily as a face wash because my skin is usually clear and I don't need that kind of active acne treatment so often. But I like to use it as a mask because you only have to keep it on for 5 minutes. It clears my skin and if I have a developing zit, it calms it down and therefore it heals quicker. It can also be used as a spot-treatment. Very nice express mask when you're in a hurry. If you want to know more about this mask, please read Ruth Crilly's (A Model Recommends) blog post on it, she's just so much better in explaining things and this post was the reason I got this mask :)

Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque - this was the first face mask in a very long time that I tried and I instantly fell in love with it. I have a full review on it HERE and it made it to my 2014 favourites. It clears my skin, makes my large pores less visible and is very easy to use. And yes, I still have the old packaging which I actually like more than the new one :)

I got mine from iHerb.com (LINK). If you haven't ordered from iHerb before, use code LWH786 to get up to $10 off your first order.

Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Mask - seems like this is my current favourite clearing face mask. I wrote a full review on it HERE. I can see and feel instant results with this mask - my skin is clearer and as the previous ones this one also calmed down developing hurtful zits. Love it a lottttttt :)

United Exchange Nu-pore Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Masks - I got it recently in my latest iHerb haul and haven't used it yet but I hear that tissue masks are a cult favourite :) This pack has two masks in it - Fresh Aloe that's firming, moisturising and elasticizing and Cucumber that is moisturising, soothing and purifying. I will let you know how I like them once I've used them. At the moment this product is available at iHerb (LINK) as a trial for only $0.50 (regular price $2.95).

JOIK Radiance Improving Cranberry & Black Currant Face Mask for dull and lifeless skin - I'm not a big fan of masks that I have to mix my own but it's very easy with this one. You just need one spoonful of mask and one spoonful of water or milk/herbal tea/natural yoghurt. It feels nice on the skin, doesn't dry it out, does make it feel cleaner and soft and once it dries it becomes a bit gritty which makes it a great face scrub. 2-in-1 product :)

NOVexpert The Repulp Mask - this is supposed to be express anti-aging care for all skin types. I like to use this mask at winter when my skin is dull, dry and exhausted. I remember that the first time I used this mask last winter I was in awe! My skin loved it so much! Will definitely use it again when the weather gets cold and it's perfect for more mature skin all year round :)

Natura Siberica Active Organics Anti-fatigue face mask - unfortunately I can't find a link to this product. I've used this only once and I haven't made up my mind yet so I will let you know soon. I think that for my combination skin it's more suitable for colder seasons :)

Oriflame Love Nature Restoring Peel-off mask for stressed skin - there is something very satisfying in peeling off this mask. My skin feels hydrated and soft after using it :) Another one that I mainly use during autumn/winter :)

Do you like face masks? Which are your favourite?

:)(:

Viimase aasta jooksul olen ma kokku ostnud päris palju näomaske ja arvan end nüüd teadvat, millised maskid mulle meeldivad ja millised mitte. Üks, mis kindel - kui ma ei näe/tunne kohest efekti pärast maski kasutamist, siis ma rohkem seda ka ei proovi :)

Hetkel on mul kasutuses 8 maski, millest kolm on puhastavad ja ülejäänud rahustavad/niisutavad, mida kasutan enamasti külmematel aastaaegadel.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in1 Wash/Mask - tegemist on kaks ühes tootega, mida saab igapäevaselt kasutada näopuhastuseks või siis harvemini kiirmaskina. Mina seda igapäevaselt ei kasuta, sest mul ei ole nii rasune ega probleemne nahk. Küll aga meeldib mulle seda maskina kasutada kui on arenemas mõni punn või tahaks lihtsalt kiiruga maski seda - nimelt tuleb seda näol hoida vaid 5 minutit. Saadaval enamikes poodides, mina ostsin enda oma Rimist ja maksis see umbes 6 eurot.

Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque - selle maski kohta kirjutasin SIIN. Väga mõnus mask, mis on efektiivne naha ebapuhtustega võitlemisel. Ostsin enda oma iHerb'ist (LINK). Kui sa pole varem iHerb'ist tellinud, kasuta koodi LWH786, et saada oma esimeselt ostult kuni 10$ allahindlust :)
Avon Clearskin mustade mineraalidega mask - siiani minu kõige lemmikum puhastav mask, mille kohta kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. See mask on tihtilugu Avonis soodukaga, mil selle võib kätte saada alla 4 euroga. Hetkel kehtivas kataloogis on see veidi kallim, kuskil 5 euro ringis.
United Exchange Nu-pore Collagen Essence Facial Tissue Masks - selle maski sain oma viimase iHerb'i tellimusega ning proovinud ma seda veel ei ole. Tegemist siis toimeainetega niisutatud kangaga, mida tuleb nahal hoida ja siis eemaldada. Pakis on kaks maski, üks aloega ja teine kurgiga. Annan kindlasti teada, kas tegemist on väärt kraamiga :) Osta saab SIIT kõigest 0.50$ eest.
JOIK Jõhvika ja mustsõstra mask tuhmile ja elutule nahale - muudab naha pehmeks ning maha pestes tekivad justkui väikesed terakesed, mis toimivad ka koorijana. Kaks ühes toode :) Kirjutasin sellest  ka SIIN. Osta saab seda SIIT.
NOVexpert The Repulp Mask - kui ma eelmisel talvel seda taastavat maski esimest korda proovisin, meeldis see mulle väga. Niisutas, muutis naha pehmeks ja rahustas seda. Kindlasti mask, mida just talvisel ajal kasutada ning küpsemas eas daamidele. Osta saab SIIT.
Natura Siberica väsimuse vastane mask - ostsin selle maski oma sõbranna emalt, kes käib neid Venemaalt toomas, seega ei leia ma ka selle maski kohta ei täpset nime ega linki. Proovinud olen seda korra ja ma ei oskagi hetkel seisukohta võtta, kas see mulle meeldib või mitte. Proovin korra veel ja siis on näha :)
Oriflame Love Nature viinamarjadega kilemask - selle maski eemaldamises on midagi nii mõnusat, et just sellepärast meeldib see mulle väga. Nahk on pehme ega kisu pärast selle kasutamist. Kirjutasin sellest veidi ka SIIN. Osta saab SIIT.

Kas oled mõnda neist maskidest proovinud? Milline on sinu lemmikmask?

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 :)

Empties #18

Long time no see! :)

What can I say, sometimes life just happens :D

Before we move to new and exciting products, let's get rid of few months' worth of trash :)

Hair and body

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Floral&Flirty Blush - my love for Batiste dry shampoos is very well known so of course I'm gonna have one in every empties post :) This one did its job very well plus smelled very floral. Maybe even a bit too strongly but I still loved it. Have a new one (Batiste Original) already :)

Garnier Fructis Thick & Gorgeous shampoo - it came to our market few months ago and I wanted to try it. It was an okay shampoo but I didn't notice any kind of thickening or volumizing effect on my hair. Not going to repurchase.

Nivea Diamond Volume shampoo - yet another product I bought out of curiosity. Again, an okay shampoo but I didn't notice it giving my hair any extra volume. Not going to repurchase.

Matrix Total Results Amplify conditioner - I love this line from Matrix and this conditioner is really good. Makes my hair soft, volumized and detangled. Will definitely buy again :)

Dove Oxygen Moisture conditioner - I wrote a full review on this line HERE . Not sure I'd buy it again very soon :)

Oriflame Discover Miami Spirit shower gel - I felt that I ran out of it quicker than other body washes in the past. It smelled fruity and nice but I'd like my shower gel to last a bit longer. Not going to buy again.

Oriflame Nature Secrets exfoliating shower gel with Mint&Raspberry - I can never get enough of this line from Oriflame. It smells like mint and raspberry (clearly :D ) plus it gently exfoliates my skin. Love it and will buy again :)

Colgate Max White One Optic toothpaste - it ran out very quickly (even though it's 50ml) and I didn't notice it making my teeth any whiter. Not going to repurchase.

Avon Invisible Care 48h, Nivea Invisible for Black&White and Rexona Invisible roll-on anti-perspirant - I include them all in one review because they all have one thing in common - they just don't work! They didn't keep my armpits dry and I was walking around smelling like poo. Stay away from them!

Makeup

Stenders Wild Rose Gentle Facial Exfoliator sample - I received few products from Stenders' new Wild rose line as a gift in which they included some samples as well. After using this gentle facial exfoliator two times, I will definitely go and purchase a full size product. I loved it! (There will be a more thorough review on this line soon here on the blog)

Sensai Silky Purifying cleansing oil sample - this cleansing oil worked like magic! It removed all of my makeup, including mascara without leaving a trace. I was amazed and would love to purchase a full-size product :)

L'Oreal Double Extension Serum mascara - it's a double-ended mascara where in the gold side you'll have a white primer and on the blue side you'll have a mascara with re-activating serum. I didn't like it because it didn't give my lashes the effect I want from mascara - it gave me no length nor volume. Do not recommend it.

Essence All Eyes On Me multi-effect mascara - personally I didn't find any kind of multi-effect from this mascara. I'd even say there was no effect what so ever except colouring my lashes black. Total waste of money.

L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic mascara - I wanted to try this mascara because my friend is using it and this mascara curled her lashes upright and made them thick and gorgeous. Well, it didn't do the same to my lashes but I liked the wand and with a little more effort I could make it work. In the end the tube just broke and I couldn't use it anymore. I'm not sure yet, if I would buy it again myself but I'd be glad to have it as a gift :) (very greedy, I know).

So, there it is! Hopefully you found some useful information and suggestions and if you'd like to know a little bit more about any of these products, let me know in the comments below :)

Thank you for still being here :)(:

Tere üle väga pika aja!

Aitäh, et tulid blogisse tagasi :)

Enne kui asun uute toodete, ostude ja arvustuste juurde, viskan kõigepealt vanad pudelid ja potsikud minema ning annan teada, mis ma neist arvasin ja kas ostaksin veel :)

Juuksed ja keha

Batiste Floral&Flirty Blush kuivšampoon - minu armastus Batiste kuivšampoonide vastu on juba teada-tuntud, seega üks selline tühi pudel on kindlasti igas empties postituses. See konkreetne isend tegi oma tööd hästi ja lõhnas (pisut isegi liiga) tugevalt lilleliselt. Uus pudel (seekord Original versioonis) on juba olemas :)

Garnier Fructis Thick&Gorgeous šampoon - paar kuud tagasi Eesti turule tulnud sarjast ostsin šampooni, palsami ja kohevust andva spreipuudri. Šampoon ega palsam mu juustele mingit efekti juurde küll ei andnud, küll aga oli kolmest kõige asjalikum kohevust andev spreipuuder. Seda šampooni ma rohkem ei ostaks.

Nivea Diamond Volume šampoon - ostsin selle mingi sooduka ajal. Tavaline šampoon, mille kohevust andev efekt jäi minu juustel täiesti märkamatuks. Rohkem ei ostaks.

Matrix Total Results Amplify palsam - see Matrix'i sari on juba aastaid minu lemmik ja pöördun selle juurde varem või hiljem ikka tagasi. Palsam teeb seda, mida vajan, väga hästi - annab kohevust, muudab juuksed pehmeks ning kergesti kammitavaks. Ostan kindlasti uuesti :)

Dove Oxygen Moisture palsam - selle sarja kohta kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. Esialgu kohe uut palsamit ostma ei jookse kuid ei välista, et kunagi võin seda veel teha :)

Oriflame Discover Miami Spirit dušigeel - mõnusalt puuviljaselt lõhnav dušigeel mis kadus omapäraselt kiiresti (pudelis 250ml toodet). Seetõttu ei osta ilmselt ka uuesti, sest tahaks, et geeli ikka veidi pikemaks ajaks jätkuks kui nädalake.

Oriflame Nature Secrets mündi-vaarika kooriv dušigeel - minu absoluutne lemmik kõikidest Oriflame toodetest on just mündi-vaarika sari. Lõhnab taevalikult ja koorib õrnalt. Ostan kindlasti uuesti :)

Colgate Max White One Optic hambapasta - see 50ml pastatuub sai samuti imelikult kiiresti otsa. Ka ei täheldanud ma märgatavat valgendavat efekti. Seetõttu ei ostaks seda uuesti.

Avon Invisible Care 48h, Nivea Invisible for Black&White ja Rexona Invisible roll-on anti-perspirandid - lisan need kõik ühte arvustusse sest neid ühendab sama omadus - need ei tööta! Ükski neist ei muutnud mu kaenlaaluseid kuivaks ega hästi lõhnavaks. Hoopis vastupidi ja see oli üks jube kogemus. Ei osta neid kunagi uuesti.

Makeup

Stenders Wild Rose õrnalt puhastav näokoorija tester - mõni aeg tagasi sain Stendersilt kingituseks mõned nende uue Metsiku Roosi sarja tooted, kuhu oli lisatud ka selle näokoorija tester. Pärast seda kui olin koorijat kahel korral kasutanud, lähen kindlasti poodi täissuuruses toote järele. Pikem postitus selle sarja toodetest on varsti tulemas :)

Sensai Silky Purifying puhastava õli tester - see meigi eemaldamiseks mõeldud õli üllatas mind väga postiivselt. See puhastas näo meigist ja isegi ripsmetušist nii efektiivselt, et mingeid jääke nahale ei jäänud. Sooviksin kindlasti seda toodet täissuruses osta :)

L'Oreal Double Extension seerumiga ripsmetušš - tuši kuldses otsas on valge baas, mida tuleb peale kanda enne sinises otsas olevat seerumiga tušši. Ma ei märganud ei tihendavat ega pikendavat efekti, seega see tušš jääb minust edaspidi poeriiulile.

Essence All Eyes On Me multi-effect ripsmetušš - ma ei täheldanud ühtki efekti peale ripsmete mustaks toonimise, seega ei ostaks ma seda tušši küll enam uuesti.

L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic ripsmetušš - tušš hakkas mind huvitama pärast seda kui märkasin oma sõbrannal kaunilt tihedaid ja koolutatud ripsmeid. Kahjuks sama efekti mina oma ripsmetel ei näinud kuid mulle meeldis selle tuši harjas. Pärast veidike pikemat pusimist sain nii tihedust kui pikkust juurde. Kahjuks läks tuub katki ja ma ei saanud seda päris lõpuni kasutada. Esialgu ma seda ise ostma ei lähe kuid kingitusena oleksin selle üle rõõmus ikka (ahne olen, ma tean :D).

Seekord siis sedasi! Kui soovid mõne toote kohta rohkem infot saada, kirjuta mulle julgelt kommentaaridesse :)(:

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cherry Blossom

It sure starting to feel like spring here...

It's light outside when I go to work in the morning at around 7.30am and still light when I head back home. The birds are chirping and the sun is rising almost every day :)

And though I still need to wear a hat, scarf and gloves it smells like spring already! 

Last week I noticed a very lovely perfume on my colleague and immediately needed to know what it was. Apparently it's Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette spray which I got for myself from a local online store for only 14€!!!! And it's 100ml (3.3 fl oz).
Of course the size of the bottle is not very travel friendly but you can always use a Travalo for your purse :)

It's a very fresh scent and the first thing you'll notice is (of course) green tea. The top notes are bergamot and citrus, middle notes are green tea and cherry blossom followed rich birch bottom notes.

I already love the original green tea scent of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea line and I should dig out my Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream to use with this perfume.

I bet it will make me feel even more excited for spring and will lift my spirit :)

p.s. Don't you agree that the box is just screaming of spring :) 

Kevade lõhn on juba õues...

Mind teeb rõõmsaks kui valge on hommikuti, mil tööle sõidan ja ka koju jõudes on väljas ikka veel valge :)

Kui ma eelmisel nädalal tundsin oma kolleegi kandmas imehead parfüümi, pidin kohe teada saama, millega tegu. Tuleb välja, et see oli Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Cherry Blossom tualettvesi, mille otsustasin kohe ka endale soetada. Kõige soodsama hinna leidsin selle on24 veebipoest, kus 100ml parfüümsprei maksab vaid 14 eurot. Nii suurt pudelit ma muidugi igapäevaselt kaasas kandma ei hakka aga väike Travalo täidetav pudel on siin kindlasti abiks (leiad selle minu uurimistöö tulemusel kõige soodsamalt Levelzone'ist).

Green Tea Cherry Blossom on kevadiselt karge ja värske parfüüm, milles kõigepealt tunneb rohelise tee, tsitruse ja bergamoti lõhna. Südamenoodiks on kirsiõied ja põhjas kask.

See tualettvesi tuletas mulle meelde mu Elizabeth Ardeni rohelise tee ja meega kehakreemi, mille kohe välja otsin ning neid kahte kombineerides tormab kevad mu sisse ja ümber peatamatu hooga :)

p.s. Eksole see pakend teeb meele hästi kevadiseks? :)

Empties #16

It's time to get rid of 2 months worth of empties :)

Hair and body

Lirene Anti-cellulite cleansing peeling - this body scrub smelled like oranges and had quite a lot of scrubbing particles in and of course, I didn't note it doing anything with my cellulite. It didn't impress me that much to repurchase.

Viteks shower cream with macadamia and shea butter - this product is from Belarus. It lathered well, had a soothing smell and really nourished my skin. This huge bottle had 500ml of product that lasted me a long time. I would buy it again :)

Oriflame Activelle Pure Care 24h anti-perspirant - I love Oriflame's deodorants. All the ones I've tried do their job well and doesn't irritate my armpits. Plus they're very affordable.

Matrix Amplify Shampoo - my all time favourite brand for my hair. I always come back to it!

Oriflame Milk&Honey Gold conditioner - I love the scent of that line from Oriflame. This conditioner was a bit too light for my hair. Otherwise it was an okay product. Wouldn't buy it again, though.

Face

Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Face Scrub and Face Mask with Dead Sea Minerals - I didn't like both of these products. T he scrub in the white tube was okay but nothing that I would want to repurchase. It was quite harsh on the skin and there wasn't enough scrubbing particles in it to fast and effectively cleanse my face. I had to be quite gentle and cautious while using it. I didn't finish the product. The mask in the grey tube was even worse. It dried my skin out so much that I had to apply moisturiser three times after using the mask. One time was enough and I haven't used it since.
Oriflame Essentials Gentle 3 in 1 Cleanser - one of my favourites to remove makeup. Will continue to repurchase.
Lumene Basic Blue Cleansing Gel - nice and very mild makeup removing gel. It didn't get all of my makeup off and didn't lather very well. It is suitable for sensitive skin but it was a bit too mild for me.

Lirene Aloe & Cucumber moisturizing 2 in 1 cleanser - it was an okay toner that removed traces of makeup and made my skin feel nice. But it didn't have a wow-effect for me, so not going to repurchase.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Concentrate - I used up the sample size of this rich eye cream that I actually really liked in the winter and for night-time. This small tube was enough for 1,5 weeks and though I didn't notice any miracles, it was great and I would like to try the full size product and see if it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Makeup and other

Armani Mania by Giorgio Armani - this 15ml eau de parfum bullet goes inside a little "container" which is very convenient to have in a handbag. I know why I love this perfume - it has my favourite ingredients in it's top notes - cedar, vanilla, musk and white sandalwood. It's great for colder season because it's sweet and comforting. I have only one bullet left, so it seems I have to get a full size version soon :)

Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation  in shade #2 - it's fuchsia pink in the box but it leaves such a fresh and healthy glow and flush of pink on the skin that I'd hit the pan very soon and the last remains crumbled inside the box. Love it!!!

L'Oreal Touche Magique corrector/high-lighter - I think it's a great dupe for YSL Touche Eclat pen. I love this product and I'm almost through my second one.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer  in shade #2 Light - everybody was raving about this concealer all over the internet, so I got it. But I don't like it at all. It doesn't provide a lot of coverage and it creases. Since I haven't used it for almost a year, I'm just throwing this one away.

Kahe kuu jagu tühje potsikuid tuleb nüüd ära visata. Mulle meeldib empties postitusi alati lugeda ning ühtlasi paneb nende kirjutamine mind ka tooteid lõpuni kasutama :)

Juuksed ja keha
Lirene Anti-Cellulite kooriv dušigeel lõhnas mõnusalt apelsini järgi ja koorivaid osakesi oli selles ka palju. Loomulikult ei teinud see mu tselluliidile midagi ning üldmulje sellest jäi ka üsna neutraalseks. Ilmselt ma seda toodet enam ei osta.
Viteks makadaamia ja sheavõiga dušikreem - tegemist on Valgevene tootega. Ma tõesti nautisin selle dušikreemi kasutamist, sest see lõhnas ja vahutas hästi ning muutis naha pehmeks ja niisutatuks. Kui ma ei eksi, siis müüakse Viteksi tooteid L-Cosmetics poodides ja sinna ma ilmselt uue 500ml pudeli jahile ka lähen.
Matrix Amplify šampoon - lemmik bränd juustele, milles ma pole iial pettunud. Ostan seda kohevust andvat šampooni kindlasti uuesti.
Oriflame Milk&Honey Gold palsam - mulle väga meeldib selle sarja lõhn! Palsam ise jäi minu juustele natuke liiga lahjaks ja seetõttu uuesti seda ei osta.
Oriflame Activelle Pure Care 24h anti-perspirant - Oriflame'i deodorandid teevad oma tööd väga hästi ja siiani pole üheski pettuma pidanud. Ostan kindlasti veel.
Nägu
Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying näokoorija ja näomask surnumere mineraalidega - valges tuubis olev näokoorijas oli minu arvates koorivaid osakesi vähe ja need olid liiga suured ja karedad. Sellega tuleb ettevaatlik olla. Hallis tuubis olevat näomaski kasutasin vaid korra, misjärel pidin kolm korda niisutavat kreemi näole kandma, et olemine vähegi paremaks muutuks. Ei ostaks kumbagi uuesti!
Oriflame Essentials Gentle 3 in 1 Cleanser - sellest puhastuspiimast olen oma blogis nii palju kirjutanud, et korrata pole enam vast vaja. Mulle meeldib see väga ja kindlasti ostan veel :)
Lumene Basic Blue Cleansing Gel - ülihea lõhnaga näopuhastusgeel, mis ei vahutanud nahal üldse ning jäi minu jaoks veidi liiga nõrgaks. Eemaldas küll suurema osa meigist ega ärritanud nahka ja silmi kuid jäi lahjaks. Tundliku naha omanikud võivad seda julgelt proovida :)
Lirene Aloe & Cucumber niisutav 2 in 1 toonik - sai jagu meigijääkidest ja nahk oli puhas ja niisutatud kuid vau-efekti mul ei tekkinud. Ilmselt uuesti ei osta.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Concentrate - see rikkalik silmakreem meeldis mulle väga. Väikesest testrist jätkus mulle enam kui nädalaks ning soov täissuuruses tuub osta tekkis küll. Selle lühikese ajaga ma ei täheldanud kortsude vähenemist kuid mine tea, mis võib juhtuda kui seda pikemat aega kasutada :)
Meik ja muu
Armani Mania eau de parfum 15ml täitepudel - see täitepudel käib ilusasse vutlarisse, mida on mugav käekotis kaasas kanda. See on soe ja magus lõhn, mille põhjanootides just kõik minu lemmikud: seeder, vanill, muskus ja valge sandlipuu. Oma viimast täitepudelit kasutan praegu ja ilmselt ostan millalgi ka täissuuruses pudeli.
Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation põsepuna toonis 2 - toosis näeb see välja hirmutavalt fuksiaroosa kuid põskedele annab see terve roosa jume. Mul oli see juba põhjani ära kasutatud kuni viimaks puuder äärtest murenes ning nüüd pean sellega igaveseks hüvasti jätma.
L'Oreal Touche Magique valgustpeegeldav pulk - minu jaoks on see kuulsa YSL Touche Eclat täielik koopia. See suutis katta ja muuta heledamaks mu sinised silmaalused ning kui teine praegu veel poolik tuub otsa saab, soetan ilmselt uuesti.
Collection Lasting Perfection peitekreem toonis 2 Light - palusin eelmise aasta alguses selle sõbrannal Londonist kaasa tuua, sest tänase päevani kiidetakse seda peitekreemi kui üht parimat odavamast hinnaklassist. Minule see toode ei meeldinud - see ei katnud piisavalt ning kogunes vagudesse ja kortsudesse. Proovisin veel veidi aega kuid lõpuks jäi ta mul enam kui pooleks aastaks lihtsalt seisma. Nüüd viskasin ära ja enam ei osta.
