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 :)

Favourites of 2014

Long time no see, my dear readers!

I hope you are all doing well :)

Though I'm a little late with my overview of favourite products of 2014 I hope you don't mind finding it out now :)

Let's start with makeup and especially eyes :)

Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette - perfect for those who prefer matte eyeshadows because there's 5 matte shades out of 7. These shadows are great quality and I could easily go for a long time using just this one palette :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette #796 Cuir Cannage - four gorgeous shimmery shades with a neutral matte brown shade for blending. Perfect both for day and night :) And of course - the quality is also magnificent :)

e.l.f. Studio Prism Eyeshadow Palette in Naked - if you love shimmery eyeshadows, this $10 palette is just for you. I'm amazed by the quality of these shadows and I often reach for it when I need to quickly slap something on :)

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in #25 Slate - this cream shadow is just the best! Either as a base or on it's own, it works perfect both ways. Love it!!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in shade Coffee - I love to fill in the gaps between my lashes to make them look fuller and this dark brown looks like black but less harsh. Plus it costs just $1!!!!!

MaxFactor Masterpiece MAX Mascara - this one might be even better than my favourites from L'Oreal. I especially loved the fact that I didn't have to curl my lashes because this mascara did it for me. Great, great mascara!

Let's move on to face makeup :)

Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in #40 Don't Let Me Brow'n - this is a perfect colour match for my eyebrows and it doesn't have any red in it. It stays on whole day and has brush with it which makes it fast a very convenient. Plus it's super affordable :)

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup - I have a full review on it here. It's truly long-wearing and also leaves my skin matte for a very long time. I use it on days I need to look flawless for a long time. Love it!

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautyfying BB Cream - you can find my review here. I use it on days when I'm in a hurry and need to even out my skin in just seconds. Great product!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light2 Vanilla - this is the BEST concealer I've ever tried. I just can't believe how well it covers my dark circles! Also it's a great highlighter that blends seamlessly!

L'Oreal True Match Minerals Foundation - my review here. I love that the application is fast and easy and the coverage is very good. I especially loved it during summer :)

Sleek Blush by 3 in Pink Lemonade - I got this blush palette in July last year and have been using the middle cream blush every day since. I'm addicted!

Skincare is next :)

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque - by far the best and easiest face mask I've tried last year. When my tube gets empty, I'll run out and get a new one :) My review is here.

JOIK Silky Facial Serum with Cranberry Seed Oil - whenever I apply this serum, my skin just purrs with delight :) Though it's an oil, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin nourished and soft :) Review here.

Lirene Last Minute Body BB - they call it body makeup :) I never fry myself in the sun so I go around looking pale and slightly bluish even during summer. In order not to scare people, I slap this tinted moisturiser on my body and it gives my skin a healthy slightly tanned look. Comes in two shades :)

Last but not least I have three favourite online shops where I've left quite a lot of money last year :)
First it's iHerb where I get my e.l.f., Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque and plenty of other natural products. The packages arrive in two weeks and I haven't yet had any problems with my purchases.
If you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using my code LWH786 you can save up to $10 on your first order.

Next is DOROTHY PERKINS where I've found a lot of affordable shoes, boots and clothes. They have both Tall and Petite sections which is always a bonus. Plus their sales are mind-blowing :)

Levelzone is a local beauty boutique that has a lot of great deals and a large variety of beauty and hair-care products. Delivery is overnight and the prices are better than in regular stores :)

Thank you for reading :)

******

Väikese hilinemisega panin nüüd ritta oma eelmise aasta lemmikud.

Alustame silmadest :)
Kõigepealt kolm läuvärvipaletti, millest igaüks suudab mu vajadused täielikult rahuldada pikaks ajaks. Mattide lauvärvide austajale meeldib kindlasti Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette lauvärvipalett, kus seitsmest toonist on matid lausa 5. Kasutan vasakult kolmandat tooni igapäevaselt koopajoonel ja hajutamiseks. Diori 5 Couleurs palett toonis 796 Cuir Cannage sisaldab nelja kaunilt kumavat sädelevat tooni ning üht matti pruuni hajutamiseks. Selle paleti võtan endaga kaasa lühematele sõitudele, sest sellega saavutab kerge vaevaga nii tagasihoidliku päeva- kui ka glamuurse õhtumeigi. Kvaliteet on mõistagi väga hea.
Soodsamatest palettidest on minu vaieldamatu lemmik e.l.f. Studio Prism palett toonis Naked, milles on kaunilt sädelevad pruunikad toonid, mida on lihtne peale kanda ning hajutada.
Kreemjatest lauvärvidest tegi võidukäigu Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow toonis 25 Slate. Töötab suurepäraselt nii lauvärvi kui aluskreemina. Kasutan seda päevil, mil on kiire või olen laisk ja on vaja kiirelt näkku veidi elu tekitada :)
e.l.f. Liquid Eyeliner silmalainer toonis Coffee on tumepruun või peaaegu musta värvi lainer, mille ülipeen pintsel aitab suurepäraselt ripsmete vahele pääseda, et tekitada lopsakamate ripsmete efekti. Lisaks maksab kõigest dollar!
Ripsmetuššidest meelis eelmisel aastal enim MaxFactor Masterpiece MAX, mida kasutades ei vajanud ma koolutajat. Sellest võib saada suur ja tugev konkurent minu lemmikutele L'Orealilt :)

Catrice Eye Brow Stylist kulmupliiats toonis 40 Don't Let Me Brow'n on parim kulmutoode läbi aegade. Selles pole kübetki punast pigmenti, pliiatsi otsas olev hari teeb selle kasutamise kiireks ja mugavaks. Lisaks on hind väga soodne :)
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup jumestuskreemist kirjutasin pikemalt siin. Kauakestev, matt ja veatu tulemus püsib pikki tunde.
Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream ühtlustab kiirelt nahatooni ning kasutan seda neil päevil kui on vaja ülikiirelt hea välja näha :) Arvustuse leiad siit.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer peitekreem toonis Light2 Vanilla on parim peitekreem minu lilladele silmaalustele. See on tihke ja kreemjas, katab suurepäraselt, püsib kaua ning seda on lihtne hajutada. Lihtsalt suurepärane!
L'Oreal True Match Minerals mineraalne meigipõhi oli minu parim sõber just suvisel ajal. Kire ja lihtne pealekandmine ning suurepärane katvus ning püsivus teevad sellest kindla lemmiku. Arvustus siin.
Sleek Blush By 3 põsepunapaletist toonis Pink Lemonade olen keskmist kreemjat põsepuna kasutanud iga päev alates hetkest kui selle paleti omanikuks sain. Püsib kaua, toon on kaunis nii suvel kui talvel ja pealekandmine on lihtne nii sõrmede kui pintsliga :)

Nahahooldusest jäid eelmisel aastal silma Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque, mis on üks paremaid maske, mida kasutanud olen. Lisaks ka fakt, et mask on tuubis, teeb selle kasutamise väga mugavaks. Arvustus siin.
JOIK Siidine näoseerum jõhvikaseemne õliga on hiljutine avastus ning sai kiirelt asendamatuks minu õhtuses iluhoolduses. Nahk on seda kasutades pehme ja prink ning kuigi tegemis on õliga, imendub see sekunditega :) Arvustuse leiad siit.
Kehatoodetest meeldis enim Lirene Last Minute Body BB kreem, mis on toonitud kreem kehale. Kasutasin seda suvel oma kehale jume andmiseks. Kaunima tooniga naha saavutasin vaid minutitega. Saadaval kahes toonis.

Minu lemmikud veebipoed, kuhu eelmisel aastal palju raha jätsin olid:
iHerb, kust tellin e.l.f. ja teisi looduslikumaid tooteid väga hea hinnaga;
Dorothy Perkins, kust leiab hea hinnaga riideid ja jalatseid ning nende soodukad on täiesti fantastilised ja Levelzone, kus on samuti palju hea hinnaga ilukaupa ning ka sooduskampaaniad on vägagi ahvatlevad :)

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?
:)(:

Haul: iHerb, Levelzone, Lirene, Ilu Sõnum

I've got quite a lot of interesting stuff over the past couple of weeks, so here's the list with my first impressions :)

iHerb

Sometimes I just like to wander on iHerb website and see what specials and trials they have going on.

For example this week on specials (15-22 October) you can save extra 20% on Physicians Formula :)

So, few weeks ago I ordered three items from the trials: Sierra Bees Organic Pomegranate Beeswax Lip balm with Vitamin E and Sierra Bees Organic Cocoa Butter Lip balm for just $ 0.50. I've tried the Cocoa Butter one and I like it a lot. It's unscented but when you apply it, there's a slight hint of cocoa you can smell :)

And I got United Exchange Face Cleansing Strips (pack of 3), also for just $ 0.50.

Since I'm using mineral powder, I needed a retractable brush to take with me and not get it all dirty in my bag. I bought EcoTools Retractable Kabuki Brush for $7.99 and I think it's a great brush. Soft and fluffy and hasn't shed at all :)

I've heard a lot of good things about them and wanted to try Now Foods Pineapple Rings (340g/12 oz for $4.40) and Now Foods Mango Slices (284g/10 oz for $5.39) and loved them. Will definitely repurchase because I just love the pure taste of these dried fruits. Also it's good value for money :)
A little extra gift from iHerb was this little eraser which my 6-year old already took away :)
If you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using code LWH786 you can save up to $10 on your first purchase :)

Lirene

Aloe and Cucumber Moisturisizing 2in1 cleanser was something I grabbed from the grocery shop in a hurry. It's a nice toner that I use either to remove traces of makeup at night after washing my face or in the mornings as a toner. It feels nice, does its job, hasn't irritated my skin or eyes and doesn't leave any residue on my face. I like it but the nozzle on the bottle is very uncomfortable to use.

Lirene Anti-Cellulite Cleansing Peeling smells like oranges and has quite a lot of exfoliating particles in it. I love to use it in the mornings because the fresh scent wakes me up. I'm not sure I believe in its ability to "cure" cellulite but I feel good knowing I'm doing at least SOMETHING to combat the problem :D

Levelzone

Levelzone is a local beauty online-shop that has a lot of special offers and discounts all the time. I needed a new tube of 8 hour cream which is my holy grail makeup item I can't live without. So the best deal I got from local shops was this Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Traveler set that has a full size (50ml) tube of skin protectant, a full size (75ml) hand cream and a lip balm in it. I love each product from this set and I got it for a very affordable price :)

And since the shop had a discount on some of them, I got myself a Tangle Teezer The Original Brush in Pink Fizz. My family is addicted to it :)

Beauty Word fair

Every year in October we have a huge beauty fair called Beauty Word and I always make time to go and see what's new and of course purchase products for a very good price. 

I went there to get a shampoo and toothpaste but ended up coming home with a lot more :D

I got two different formulas of White Glo whitening toothpaste which I love, Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo (forgot to include in the photo), a shampoo from my favourite brand - Matrix Total Results Amplify and a bunch of stuff from a brand I haven't heard before - Premiere.

I actually bought only the Eye Contour Age Defying Fluid Eye Serum that instantly minimises the appearance of wrinkles and lightens up the under-eye area. You need the tiniest drop of this serum and have to really massage it in. Since it's quite time-consuming and my concealer doesn't stay well on top of this serum, I only use it at night. But to see quicker results you should use it day and night. So far I like it but will let you know if my under-eye area has improved after about a month if you are interested :)

And since I was a bit resistant to buy the serum (because it was rather pricey), the girl from the counter gave me a full size Refining Moisture Cream and a Cooling Eye Mask for free. I think I will give the face cream to someone close though and let them try it out :)

I am now about to hold myself back from buying new stuff and will reorganise my beauty drawers :) I got some nice things from Ikea to help create order in my drawers so hopefully that will tame my urge to buy and try new beauty things :)

Viimase paari nädala jooksul olen kätte saanud eelmise kuu lõpus tellitud pakid ja ostnud päris suure hunniku iluasju :)

Tellimus iHerbist
Mulle meeldib vahest niisama iHerbi kodulehel eripakkumiste või proovitellimuste osas kolada, sest väga soodsa hinnaga võib sealt leida põnevaid tooteid.
Näiteks kehtib järgmise kolmapäevani 20% lisasoodustus kogu Physicians Formula tootevalikule.

Niisiis tellisin prooviks kolm asja: Sierra Bees Organic Pomegranate Beeswax Lip balm with Vitamin E ja Sierra Bees Organic Cocoa Butter Lip balm huulepalsamid vaid  $0.50 eest. Proovisin juba Cocoa Butter palsamit ja see meeldib mulle väga. Eriti mõnus on kuidas muidu lõhnatut pulka huultele määrides on väga kergelt head kakaolõhna tunda :)

Võtsin prooviks United Exchange Face Cleansing Strips (3tk pakis) nahapuhastusribad, samuti vaid $0.50 eest.

Kuna hakkasin mineraalpuudrit kasutama ning soovin seda mõnikord ka kaasas kanda, vajasin pintslit, mis oleks vutlaris, et see kotis ei määrduks. Valisin välja EcoTools Retractable Kabuki Brush hinnaga $7.99 ning siiani olen sellega enam kui rahul :)

Tellisin veel ka Now Foods Pineapple Rings kuivatatud ananassirõngad (340g hinnaga $4.40) ja Now Foods Mango Slices kuivatatud mangoribad (284g hinnaga $5.39) ning need on oma arvukaid kiidusõnu väärt. Mulle meeldib nende puhas ja mahe maitse ning kindlasti tellin neid veel. Mõnus niisama krõmpsutada või hommikupudru või -helveste juurde tükeldada :)
iHerb pani sel korral tasuta kingina kaasa kustutuskummi :D, mille mu 6-aastane juba konfiskeeris :)
Kui sa pole varem iHerbist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786 võid oma esimeselt tellimuselt säästa kuni $10 :)

Lirene
Aloe and Cucumber Moisturisizing 2in1 cleanser tooniku krabasin kiiruga toidupoest (hind alla 4€) ning tegemist on täitsa hea näoveega. See ei ärrita mu silmi ega nahka, ei jäta ebameeldivat kihti näole ning tuleb toime meigijääkide eemaldamisega. Ka hommikuti on seda mõnusalt värskendav kasutada. Ainus asi, mis mulle ei meeldi, on pudeli kork. Väga ebamugav on toodet vatipadjale valada, mul on pidev hirm, et kallan pool pudelit lihtsalt põrandale.
Lirene Anti-Cellulite Cleansing Peeling tselluliidivastane kooriv pesugeel on mõnusalt värske apelsinilõhnaline geel, milles rohkelt koorivaid osakesi. Kuigi ma olen veidi skeptiline selle võimes tselluliidiga võidelda, on mul siiski hea meel, et ma teen midagigi, et probleemist vabaneda :)

Levelzone
Levelzone.ee on kiirelt saanud üheks minu lemmikuks kohalikuks e-poeks, kust ilutooteid tellida. Lisaks müüvad nad ka üht mu lemmikuimat brändi Sleek. Tihtilugu on neil käimas ka sooduskampaaniad ning paki saab kätte juba ülejärgmise päeva hommikul.
Kuna mu 8 hour cream on otsas, vajasin kiirelt uut tuubi, sest selleta ma enam elada ei suuda. Pikkade otsingute tulemusel oli parim pakkumine just Levelzone'is, kust soetasin Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Traveler komplekti (hinnaks 28.95€). Selles on kolm täissuuruses toodet - 50ml 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant, 75ml kätekreem ning huulepalsam. Olen väga rahul!
Pikalt soovisin saada endale ka pusakammi ning kuna Tangle Teezer The Original Brush Pink Fizz oli hea hinnaga (8.99€), tellisin ka selle ning enam ei taha muid kamme oma juuste ligi üldse lasta :)

Ostud Ilu Sõnumilt
Läksin messile plaaniga osta šampoon ning hambapasta kuid välja kukkus oluliselt rohkem :)
Ostsin kaks White Glo hambapastat (5€ tk), oma lemmikbrändi Matrix Total Result Amplify šampooni (6,95€) ja Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo kuivšampooni (unustasin pildile lisada, hind 4€).
Möödaminnes meelitati mind Premier boksi, mis minu jaoks oli täiesti tundmatu firma. Sain proovida silmaseerumit ning peab tunnistama, et kortsud muutusid koheselt vähemmärgatavaks ning silmaalused heledamaks. 

Eye Contour Age Defying Fluid Eye Serum silmaseerumi soetasin ekstrasoodukaga 80€ eest (messihind 120€, täishind 180€). Parima tulemuse saavutamiseks tuleb seerumit kasutada nii hommikul kui õhtul, masseerides imepisike tilk hoolikalt silmaümbrusse. Kuna meik ei taha seerumi peal püsida ning enamasti pole mul hommikuti nii palju aega, kasutan seerumit vaid õhtuti. Kui on huvi, võin umbes kuu aja pärast oma kogemusest ja seerumi toimest pikemalt kirjutada :)
Lisaks sain tasuta kingituseks täissuuruses Refining Moisture Cream näokreemi (tavahind 89.99€) ning Cooling Eye Mask silmamaski (tavahind 19.99€), mida tuleb hoida külmikus ning hommikul kui silmad on paistes või väga väsinud, mõneks minutiks maski Zorro kombel silmadel hoida.

Üritan nüüd mõnda aega uute kosmeetikumide ostmisest hoiduda ning korrastada ja sorteerida oma meigisahtleid. Selleks leidsin Ikeast nutikaid abimehi ning loodetavasti talitseb see tegevus mu pidevat meigiostuvajadust :)

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

I got Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque about a month ago and have tried it for maybe five times since.

I must say that this face mask is very very good for the price :)

It promises to help dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and shrink enlarged pores.

You're supposed to apply it generously on clean face and leave it on for about 15 minutes.

The consistency of this mask is very creamy and because of that applying it is easy. I also love that my skin doesn't feel extremely dry after using it as has happened before with some other clay masks. 

At first it tingles on my skin and if I have some minor skin injuries it might even sting a little bit. But nothing major and I actually like the tingling feeling :)

I also love the minty scent of it :)

"Luckily" I have a few breakouts at the moment which kinda hurt at first. After using the mask, they don't hurt almost at all anymore and my pores do look cleaner and blackheads lighter.

As I have combination skin, I would use it once a week. For ladies with oily skin or acne problems, I would suggest to use it twice a week.

Overall, I'm very happy with this mask and will repurchase once my 8oz will be empty :)

I got this mask in my recent iHerb haul for only $3.84. At the moment you can only get the sample size (2 oz; 56,7g for $1.40) of it on iHerb but I'm sure they'll stock up on it very soon.

If you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using the code LWH786 you can save up to $10 on your first order :)

Tellisin Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque näomaski veidi enam kui kuu aega tagasi iHerbist. Ma olen üldiselt kogu maskibisessis üsna võhik, seega lootsin, et arvukad kiitvad netiarvustused paika peavad. Õnneks pidasid! :)

Mask lubab kuivatada aknepunne, puhastada ummistunud poore ja komedoone.

Maski tuleb kanda puhastatud näole ja jätta peale kuni 15 minutiks.

Esmalt meeldib mulle selle maski piparmündine lõhn. Teiseks ei kuivata see mu nahka nii nagu mitmed teised maskid teinud on. Kolmandaks näivad mu poorid tõesti puhtamad ja ka komedoonid on vähem märgatavad. Lisaks meeldib mulle ka see veidi õhetav tunne, mis maski peale kandes tekib :)

Mask ise on kreemja konsistentsiga, mis muudab selle pealekandmise väga mugavaks.

Oma segatüüpi nahaga kasutan seda maski korra nädalas. Probleemse ja rasuse nahaga daamid võiksid seda julgelt ka kaks korda nädalas kasutada :)

Kokkuvõtteks olen maskiga väga rahul. Ostsin selle juuli lõpus iHerbist vaid $3.84 eest. Hetkel on mask iHerbis saadaval vaid minisuuruses (56,7g, $1.40) kuid olen enam kui kindel, et üsna pea tuleb taas müüki ka täissuuruses maskituub :)

Kui sa pole varem iHerbist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786 võid oma esimeselt tellimuselt kokku hoida kuni $10 :)

iHerb haul #2

So, I was very impressed by my first iHerb purchase and pretty soon I decided to try some more products. I have wanted to try different shades of eyeliner besides black for a long time (wish list) and I was happy to discover that e.l.f. has plenty to choose from. Also I've been very interested in healthier food and superfoods, so here's what I got:

California Gold Nutrition Daily Vits & Mins (30 tablets) - iHerb has always a lot of special offers going on so these vitamins cost me only a dollar (LINK).
Earth Circle Organics Raw Organic Maca Powder (8oz, 227g) - this superfood had also 20% off, so I got this huge pack for 6,50 $. You can never get it so cheap here! Unfortunately the packaging got broken, so my box was dusted with maca but that's ok, I just put it in a jar. I've tried it for few times and must say it really does give a lot of energy (LINK).
e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner in shades Midnight (swatch in the middle) and Coffee (swatch on top) - I am in love! These two liners have quite a long but very thin tip, so I can get really close to my lash line and in between my lashes which gives me the effect of thicker lashes. I've been using these two almost every day! Also, both of them look very dark on the eyes, almost black but not as harsh. Coffee looks quite light and yucky on the swatch but I assure you, it's awesome! And they cost only 1,99 $!!!! You can order them here and here. Plus they have a lot of other shades to choose from, too :)

e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Cream Eyeliner in Gunmetal (swatch on the bottom) (LINK) - this is a cream eyeliner and I'm really disappointed. I wanted to get a nice dark grey shade to accentuate my grey eyes but this looks just sparkling silver and the colour payoff is really poor! Luckily it costs only 3 $. But I've seen some of Youtube tutorials with the Studio Cream Eyeliner in shade Metallic Olive and this one looks actually very pretty and nice (LINK).

As the last time, I used International Airmail shipping that costs 4 $ and my package got to me within 10 days. I must say, I really enjoy iHerb and will definitely order again.
Also, if you haven't ordered from iHerb before then using the code LWH786 you can get up to 10 $ off your first purchase!

Nagu ma oma  esimese iHerb ostu postituses lubasin, tellisin üsna pea järgmise paki huvitavaid tooted. Ma olen juba hirmus pikka aega soovinud proovida ka muid laineritoone kui klassikalist musta (hetke soovid) ja avastasin rõõmuga, et e.l.f. pakub päris suurt valikut. Samuti olen tahtnud proovida erinevaid superfood'e, seega siin on nimekiri minu teisest iHerbi ostust:

California Gold Nutrition Daily Vits & Mins (30 tabletti) - iHerb'is on pidevalt hulgaliselt eripakkumisi nii, et see purk vitamiine maksis vaid 1 $ (LINK).
Earth Circle Organics Raw Organic Maca Powder (227g) - hetkel kui tellisin kehtis sellele  20% soodustus, seega sain paki kätte 6,50 $ eest. Kahjuks oli pakk postis veidi kannatada saanud ja postipaki sisu oli maca pulbriga koos. Paaril korral olen seda juba proovinud ning mõnus energialaks tekkis küll (LINK).
e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner toonides Midnight (swatch keskel) ja Coffee (ülemine swatch) - absoluutselt suurepärased lainerid! Neil on üsna pikk ja väga peen ots, mis tähendab, et ma saan lainerijoone tõmmata maksimaalselt ripsmejuure lähedale ning isegi ripsmete vahele, mis annab väga tihedate ripsmete efekti. Mõlemad toonid näevad silmadel välja peaaegu mustad aga pehmemad. Neid kahte olen ma vaheldumisi kasutanud alates paki kättesaamisest igapäevaselt ja olen väga rahul. Lisaks maksavad need vaid 1,99 $!!!! Tellida saab neid siit ja siit. Toonivalik on samuti muljetavaldav.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Cream Eyeliner toonis Gunmetal (alumine swatch) (LINK) - no see kreemlainer on küll pettumus. Tahtsin saada tumehalli tooni, mis rõhutaks mu halle silmi aga sain hoopis mingi heleda hõbedase tooni, mis hoolimata pingutustest ei anna praktiliselt mingit värvi välja. Õnneks maksis ainult 3 $. Olen paaris Youtube õpetuses näinud, et sama sarja kreemlainer toonis  Metallic Olive on aga väga kena ja hästi pigmenteeritud (LINK).

Nagu esimeselgi korral kasutasin International Airmail postiteenust, mis maksab 4 $ ning pakk jõudis minuni umbes 10 päevaga. Tuleb tunnistada, et mulle tõesti väga meeldib iHerb ja ma kindlasti tellin sealt veel.
Ühtlasi, kui sa pole varem iHerb'ist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786 saad oma esimeselt ostult kokku hoida kuni 10 $.

My 1st iHerb haul / Minu esimene ost iHerb'ist

Eestikeelne tekst on allpool

iHerb is an awesome online shop of organic and healthier stuff where you can find tons of health products such as supplements, herbs, makeup, products for the house, kids, pets, sports etc etc. The awesome thing in addition to that is that they ship worldwide :)

So, of course I had to hop on the wagon and ordered some beauty items. The international airmail shipping I used takes 1-4 weeks and I got my package in less than two weeks.

So, my first picks were - Real Techniques Miracle Complection Sponge ($6 link for ordering), e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder that comes with a tiny brush that is in my opinion too small for the large under eye area($3 link) and Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara ($9.55 link).

iHerb usually puts a little extra in each order so I got myself a little clipper :)

I've already tested the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge and wow! Applying my foundation is so easy and quick that I might even switch from brushes to this one :) It literally takes me about 10-15 seconds to apply all of my foundation. Let's see how I feel about it when I've used it a little more but my first impressions are really good.

Which I can't really say about the e.l.f. Undereye Setting Powder. First, it has sparkles in it. Yes, chunks of sparkles... And though it sets my concealer so it won't crease or move, I feel that my fine lines become more visible. We'll see, how that goes after some time.

I haven't tried the PF mascara yet because I have 2 mascaras in use at the moment, so I'll get back to you with a review on that :)

By the way - iHerb has always a bunch of special offers going on, so for example you can get 20% off on the entire selection of Physician's Formula until 14th of May.

So if you've been wanting to try something from the range I suggest you order it from iHerb.

If you haven't ordered from iHerb before, you can get $5 off your first order if you spend less than $40 or $10 off if you spend more than $40 using a code LWH786.

I already have a bunch of stuff in my shopping cart and even more on my wishlist :D

A little warning - this shop is addictive :D

Disclaimer - not a sponsored post. All opinions are honest and my own :)

iHerb on suur veebipood, mis müüb orgaanilist ja tervislikumat kaupa, sealhulgas kosmeetikat, keha-ja juuksehooldust, toidulisandeid, tooteid kodule, lastele, lemmikloomadele jne jne. Parim asjaolu on see, et iHerb postitab tooteid üle maailma. Mina kasutasin International Airmail'i, mis maksab 4$ ning pakk tuleb kohale 1-4 nädalaga. Minu pakk tuli kohale veidi vähem kui 2 nädalaga. 

P.S. Kui Eestisse tellitud paki maksumus (ilma postikuluta) ületab 21,98€, tuleb maksta tollimaksu.

Tegin veidi aja eest oma esimese tellimuse ning sain mõni päev tagasi oma paki kätte.

Tellisin Real Techniques Miracle Complection Sponge meigisvammi ($6 link), e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder kinnitava puudri silmade alla, millega on kaasas ka tilluke pintsel, mis on minu arvates silmade all kasutamiseks küll liiga väike ($3 link) ja Physicians Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara ripsmetušši ($9.55 link). 

iHerb lisab tavaliselt pakile juurde ka väikese kingituse, mina sain lõbusa klambri, mis kindlasti kodus kasutust leiab.

RT meigisvamm jättis ülihea esmamulje - sellega saab väga kiirelt ja mugavalt jumestuskreemi peale kanda ja tulemus jääb ühtlane. Mul kulub kogu näo katmiseks 10-15 sekundit. Ma olen vaimustuses :)

Kahjuks ei saa aga öelda, et e.l.f. puuder oleks mu ootustele vastanud, sest selles on üsna suured sädelevad tükid sees. See küll kinnitab peitepulga ega lase sel päeva jooksul vagudesse koguneda ja liikuda kuid mulle tundub, et mu peened kortsukesed silmade all muutuvad rohkem nähtavaks. Eks katsetan veel ja vaatan, kas saan selle kinnituspuudriga paremaks sõbraks.

Kuna mul on hetkel 2 ripsmetušši kasutuses, ei hakanud PF tušši veel avama aga kui seda teen, annan kindlasti oma muljetest teada.

iHerbis on alati käimas mitu sooduskampaaniat - 14. maini kehtib kogu Physician's Formula kaubavalikule 20% soodustus.

Kui sa pole veel iHerbist tellinud, siis kasutades koodi LWH786, saad oma esimeselt ostult 5$ allahindlust kui tellimuse maksumus jääb alla 40 dollari. Kui aga tellid enam kui 40$ eest, saad sama koodi kasutades 10$ allahindlust.

Mul on järgmine tellimus juba komplekteeritud ja soovinimekiri ka päris pikaks veninud.

Hoiatan - see veebipood on sõltuvust tekitav :D
