Empties #20 pt 2

Long time no see, my lovely readers!

Even though it's been almost three months since my last post I am so glad to see that you still come and check if I'm still around :) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that :)

Here's the promised part two of my last year's empties and the first one of 2016 will come soon :)

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream in Light - I have been loving this bb cream from the first moment I tried it from a sample. This is my second empty tube of this product which means that I really do love and recommend it. It will even out your skin tone and make it smooth. It can also be used instead of foundation if your skin is good in general. The big bonus is the high SPF which makes it my number one product in the summertime :) Will definitely get a new tube next summer.

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream sample - I got this sample with a magazine and I think it is perfect to lightly even out the skin tone for those whose skin is clear. If you have a good skin and just want to make it look less dull, this is the product for you :)

Maybelline FitMe Concealer in shade #10 - this concealer has yellow undertone which means that I cannot use it under my eyes. It does work really nice on blemishes but to be honest I only use concealer under my eyes to cover up dark circles and this shade did no good for that. I love this concealer in shade #15 which has pink undertone and always make sure to have it in my collection.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in shade #Light 2 Vanilla - this concealer is my dream come true! It covered up my dark under eye area, didn't crease nor oxidise. I did notice that in the end it wasn't as creamy as it used to be, so this product really does expire after the deadline. So I suggest to keep an eye on the best before date :) If they'd sell it in my country, I would repurchase it over and over again :)
L'Oréal Lumi Magique illuminating pen - I would say that it is a nice cheaper alternative for YSL Touche Eclat if you pick the right shade. Mine was a bit too dark so I could only use it during summer. I still liked it a lot and would repurchase the lightest shade to use as an under eye highlighter :)
Eveline Big Volume Explosion mascara - they sell it here in local supermarkets and this brand is very cheap. The mascara was okay for everyday use but the wand was ridiculously huge so solely for that reason I wouldn't buy it again. Also didn't notice it making my lashes explode with volume.
Avon Colortrend Boost It waterproof mascara - I bought it to take with me on my vacation to Spain last July. It was somewhat waterproof - it didn't melt down my face in 40C heat but I wouldn't go swimming wearing it. Also it gave my lashes colour and a bit of definition but no volume nor length.
Real Techniques stippling brush - I think this was my first ever RT brush I got at least five years ago. Last time I washed it, all the bristles came out at once and even though I pushed them back, after it was dry the bristles started to shed heavily. This had never happened before and RT brushes rarely ever shed so I guess I just overused this brush :D I love to use this brush especially for my cream blush and foundation and I already have two of these brushes back in my collection.
Sierra Bees organic cocoa butter lip balm - this lip balm was very nice and moisturising, smelled lovely and made my lips soft. Also, it's constantly very affordable on iHerb. I plan on buying the variety pack next time I make an order. (p.s. If you haven't ordered from iHerb.com before you can save up to $10 on your first order using my discount code LWH786)

I also managed to finish another perfume which I am very sorry about.
DKNY Be Delicious is one of my favourites because it's just so fresh. I love it especially during spring and summer. I will definitely repurchase it in the future if it's still on the market. Read more on the notes HERE.
Even though Kiehl's is best known for their skincare I suggest you take a sniff on their perfumes too. This Vetiver & Black Tea eau de toilette sample made me want to get the full size. Notes are pretty simple - Haitian vetiver, Ceylon black tea, pepper and woods which makes the blend of it very pleasant for my nose :)

Thank you for staying until the very end :)
I promise to get back on track and post more frequently again from now on :)

Kuigi viimasest postitusest on juba ligi kolm kuud möödas, on mul hea meel näha, et külastate jätkuvalt mu blogi. Suur aitäh selle eest! :)

Siin siis lubatud teine osa eelmise aasta tühjadest potsikutest ning õige pea lisandub esimene 2016 empties postitus :)

Kiehl's Actively Correcting and beautifying BB cream toonis Light - see on juba teine tühjaks saanud tuub ning minu vaieldamatu lemmik just suvel, sisaldades SPF 50. See ühtlustab nahatooni ja silub seda ning hea näonahaga inimesed saavad seda BB kreemi edukalt kasutada ka jumestuskreemi asemel. Saadaval Tallinna Kaubamaja Kiehls'i letis, kuhu soovitan teinekord niisamagi sisse põigata - Kiehl'si neiud on lahked tegema tasuta nahatesti ning andma kaasa ka sämpleid sundimata midagi kohe ostma :) Konkreetne bb kreem maksab tsipake alla 30€.

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream tester - sobib hea näonahaga inimestele nahatooni ühtlustamiseks muutes naha elavamaks :)
Maybelline FitMe peitekreem toonis #10 - need peitekreemid on maailmakuulsad ning põhjusega palju kiidetud. Kuigi see kollaka alatooniga nr 10 mulle ei sobinud, siis roosa alatooniga nr 15 on mul ALATI meigiarsenalis, et oma tumedaid silmaaluseid maskeerida :)
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer peitekreem toonis Light 2 Vanilla - minu absoluutne lemmik. See on kreemjas, ülihea katvusega, ei kogune kortsukestesse ning kui see puudriga kinnitada, püsib peal terve päeva. Kui see oleks Eestis poest kergesti kättesaadav, jääks see igaveseks minu meigikotti. Selle peitekreemi puhul tuleb aga kindlasti jälgida säilivusaega, sest lõpupoole muutub konsistents veidi kuivemaks ning selle kasutamine pole siis enam nii mugav kui äsja tuubi avades :)
L'Oréal Lumi Magique valgustpeegeldav peitekreem - see on minu arvates YSL Touche Eclat odavam alternatiiv ning valides õige tooni toimib nii korrektori kui valgustpeegeldava jumestuspulgana. Minul oli veidi liiga tume toon, mistõttu sain seda kasutada vaid suvel kuid kõige heledam roosaka alatooniga pulk toimiks mu sinistel silmaalustel vägagi hästi :)
Eveline Big Volume Explosion ripsmetušš - ostsin selle ripsmetušši mingist toidupoest väga soodsa hinna tõttu. See on tavaline igapäevane tušš, mis ei anna erilist pikkust ega lopsakust kuid selle naeruväärselt hiiglaslik harjas on see, mis mind edaspidi sellest ripsmetušist kaarega mööda käima sunnib :)
Avon Colortrend Boosti It veekindel ripsmetušš - ostsin selle läinud suvel puhkusele minnes ning kuigi seegi ei andnud erilist lopsakust ja pikkust, ei voolanud see ripsmetelt mööda nägu alla ka 40-kraadises kuumuses. Päris vette sukelduda ma sellega siiski ei soovita.
Real Techniques stippling pintsel - see oli esimene RT pintsel, mille ma aastaid tagasi ostsin. Viimase pesu ajal tulid kõik pintslikarvad korraga pesast lahti ning kuigi ma need tagasi surusin, hakkas pintsel kuivanult ikkagi karvu ajama. Kuna tavaliselt seda RT pintslitega kunagi ei juhtu, arvan, et see konkreetne isend oli lihtsalt aastatega oma aja ära elanud. Mul on juba kaks samasugust soetatud ning kasutan seda peamiselt kreemja põsepuna või jumestuskreemi pealekandmiseks :)
Sierra Bees organic cocoa butter huulepalsam - ülimõnus ja hästi lõhnav soodne huulepalsam, mis niisutas ja muutis huuled pehmeks. iHerb'is on neile väga tihti soodukad ning oma järgmisele tellimusele lisan kindlasti ka nende variety packi'i :) (p.s. Kui sa pole varem iHerb.com tellinud, siis kasutades minu sooduskoodi LWH786 void saada kuni 10$ soodustust).

Seekord suutsin tühjaks teha ka ühe oma lemmikutest parfüümidest - DKNY Be Delicious. See on nii värske ja mõnus, et mul on suur kiusatus minna ja see kohe endale uuesti osta, sest see on just kevad-suvisel hooajal üks mu esimesi valikuid. Lõhnanootide kohta saad lähemalt lugeda SIIT. Seda parfüümi saab soetada näiteks SIIT .
Kuigi Kiehl's on enamasti tuntud oma suurepäraste nahahooldustoodete poolest, soovitan kindlasti lähemalt tutvuda ka nende parfüümidega. Vetiver & Black tea tualettvesi on järjekordne avastus, mille sooviksin pärast testeri proovimist kindlasti enda parfüümikollektsiooni lisada. 30ml suurus maksab Tallinna Kaubamaja Kiehl'sis ligi 30€.

Aitäh, et lõpuni vastu pidasid ning järgmiste kohtumisteni :)

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!

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.

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 :)

Empties #15

Time to clean my house and show you all the bottles and pots I've used up in the last two months :)

Hair and body

Batiste Dry Shampoo Cool&Crisp Fresh - this is a really good dry shampoo as are most of Batiste ones I've tried. I liked the scent of it and the effectiveness. It doesn't give a lot of volume but enough to make my hair look clean and voluminous. Will repurchase :)

Garnier Ultra Doux Vitality Shampoo - I tried it just out of curiosity. It was an okay shampoo, nothing special. Smelled nice but didn't keep my hair clean for longer. I would leave it on the shelf from now on because it just didn't impress me in any way.

Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner for dry hair - this was a recommendation by a hairdresser who said my hair was very dry in the beginning of this year. I have been using it on and off for over half a year now and it is a good conditioner. Detangles well and leaves hair soft and shiny. It didn't wow me but if nothing else is available, I would repurchase it :)

Oriflame Discover Brazilian Passion shower gel - it smelled really nice, didn't dry my skin out and did what it's supposed to. Somehow I feel that this bottle got empty so fast that this is the reason I wouldn't buy it again. It just disappeared too quickly :D

Sally Hansen Strengthening Fast & Gentle Nail Polish Remover - it was a very good nail polish remover. It was fast and effective, smelled nice and didn't dry my nails or cuticles. I would definitely repuchase because I just can't stand the one I'm using at the moment. It's just horrible compared to Sally Hansen one :)

Face

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash - it lathered very well, smelled nice, removed all of the makeup and other stuff from my face, didn't irritate my eyes but felt too drying on my skin after using it. That's the reason I'm not going to repurchase it just yet or at least not during colder season when my skin is anyway drier than usual.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo - I don't even remember how many of these I've used up and seems I need to have one with me at all times :) But it seems that they stopped making this one now and the new version of it is called Effaclar Duo+ which is a bit more concentrated. This gel like moisturiser is meant to keep acne-prone skin under control, unclog pores and help to prevent and/or cure pimples. It's perfect under the makeup and I already have a new tube of Duo+ :)

The only downside is that they don't sell La Roche-Posay in Estonia and I need to order it from abroad.

Makeup

Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse Foundation - I have a full review on it HERE . I'm throwing it away because it's too old to use now (foundations usually last for 6 months only) and even started to smell weird.

Maybelline Fit Me concealer in shade #15 - this is one of the best concealers I've ever used. It blends with every foundation flawlessly, doesn't crease much and this particular shade has pink undertone which makes it perfect for blue under-eye area. Unfortunately it seems that our stores don't carry this shade, so once again I had to get it from abroad.

L'Oreal Double Extension mascara - this mascara has a white base with Ceramide R in it to apply before the mascara and a mascara in shade Carbon Black on the other end. When you apply the white base before and mascara on top, it will give you full and long dark black lashes. Without the base this mascara on its own has a very natural effect. I'm sorry it got too dry to take pictures of before and after but believe me, using both of the products together will give you dramatic lashes :)

The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't wear this mascara on my lower lashes because it started to smudge.

Clinique Bottom Lash mascara in shade #01 black - I love this product so much!!! It's been a real struggle to apply other mascaras on my bottom lashes because I got so used to this tiny wand and the convenience of using it. It didn't smudge and stayed on forever! Love it but can't find it in our stores :(

Avon Ultra Glazewear lipgloss in shade Palm Beach Pink - lovely glossy coral pink shade that was my go-to gloss during summer. It wasn't too sticky and therefor not very long-lasting. But it was perfect to slap on and rush out of the house :)

Samples

 I have mixed feelings about samples. I've discovered some lovely products that I've bought full size of but it seems that I prefer samples that are in small pots and bottles and not in these tiny sachets. Anyway, I'll have a separate post on samples soon :)

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate - this deluxe sized sample bottle lasted me for over a week. It's a nice scent-free oil that you only need a few drops of to cover all of your face and neck. I liked it and using it made me a bit addicted to finish my night time routine with a nice serum. I'm not running out to buy a full size product just yet but will keep it in mind once all of my other serum pots and bottles will be empty.

Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion - I got four samples of primers with my Naked3 palette and the first one I tried was this one. It's a very good primer and applying it is very easy since it's not thick. I didn't notice any anti-aging effect but loved using it anyway :) This sample lasted me for over a week because a little goes a long way.

Dior One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum - I got one use out of this little sachet and unfortunately I woke up in the morning with irritated skin with red dots all over it.

Viimase kahe kuu jooksul olen jälle tühjaks kasutanud terve hulga tooteid :) Empties postitusi teha ja lugeda meeldib mulle üle kõige, sest see annab kõige paremat aimu selle kohta, kas toode väärib uuesti soetamist :)

Juuksed ja keha

Batiste Dry Shampoo Cool&Crisp Fresh - sellest on saanud järjekordne lemmik Batiste kuivšampoonide seas. Lõhnab mõnusalt, muudab juust väljanägemise värskeks ja kuigi ei anna just väga palju volüümi, rahuldab see mu "igapäevaseid" vajadusi täielikult. Ostan kindlasti veel :)

Garnier Ultra Doux Vitality Shampoo - täiesti tavaline šampoon supermarketi riiulilt. Lõhnas mõnusalt aga midagi erilist selles polnud. Ei osta uuesti.

Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner for dry hair - sera palsamit soovitas pasta algusepoole mini juuksur, kew leidis, et mu juuksed on kuivad. Olen seda nüüd vahelduva eduga üle poole aasta kasutanud ja see harutab lahti pusad, teeb juuksed pehmeks ja siidiseks. Vau-efekti ei tekkinud kuid ostaksin seda ehk uuesti.

Oriflame Discover Brazilian Passion shower gel - väga hea lõhnaga dušigeel, mis vahutas hästi, pesi puhtaks ja ei kuivatanud nahka. Küll aga kulus seda palju ja sai väga kiiresti otsa. Just seetõttu ei torma ma seda uuesti ostma.

Sally Hansen Strengthening Fast & Gentle Nail Polish Remover - väga hea, kiire ja efektiivne küünelakieemaldi, mis ka lõhnas hästi. Ei kuivatanud küüsi ega küünenahka. Kindlasti ostan uuesti, sest praegu kasutuses olev lakieemaldi on sellega võrreldes lihtsalt jube! :)

Nägu

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash - vahutas mõnusalt, lõhnas hästi, eemaldas kogu meigi ja mustuse näolt, ei ärritanud silmi kuid kuivatas veidi mu nahka. Seetõttu ma seda sügistalvisel hooajal ei kasutaks, mil mu nahk ongi juba tavapärasest kuivem.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo - ma ei suuda kokku lugeda, mitu tuubi seda kreemi olen juba tühjaks kasutanud. Tegemist on kerge geelja kreemiga, mis peaks aitama võidelda akne ja ummistunud pooridega ning nahka tasakaalustada. Tundub, et seda enam ei toodeta ja uus variant on Effaclar Duo+, mis on veidi kontsentreerium ja tugevama toimega. Uus Duo+ on mul juba olemas. Ainus asi, mis ärritab on see, et La Roche-Posay on saadaval vähestes välismaistes online poodides, mis teeb selle soetamise keeruliseks.

Makeup

Avon Ideal Flawless Matte Mousse Foundation - kirjutasin selle kohta eraldi postituse, mille leiad SIIT. See sai juba lihtsalt vanaks (jumestuskreemi eluiga on tavaliselt 6 kuud) ja hakkas juba ka imelikult lõhnama, seega viimane aeg see oma viimsele teekonnale saata.

Maybelline Fit Me peitekreem toonis #15 - parim peitekreem, mida seni proovinud olen! Ei kogune vagudesse ning sobitud kõikide meigipõhjadega. See konkreetne toon on roosaka alatooniga, mis teeb ta ideaalseks siniste silmaaluste katjaks. Paraku ei paista tooni 15 meie poodides müüdavat, seega pidin jällegi hankima uue tuubi välismaalt.

L'Oreal Double Extension ripsmetušš - tušši ühes otsas on valge primer ja teises osas must ripsmetušš. Kui kõigepealt kanda ripsmetele valget "aluskreemi" ja peale ripsmetušši on tulemuseks lopsakad ja pikad tumemustad ripsmed. Kahjuks hakkas see enne otsa saama ja kuivama kui mul tuli pähe mõte "enne ja pärast" foto teha. Ilma primerita jääb tušš minu jaoks lahjaks ja liiga loomuliku tulemusega. Ka alumistele ripsmetele tušši kandes oli osa sellest mõne aja pärast silmade all.

Clinique Bottom Lash ripsmetušš toonis #01 black - spetsiaalselt alumistele ripsmetele mõeldud tušš, mille tilluke hari teeb pealekandmise kiireks ja lihtsalt. Lisaks ei määri ega pudene see kogu päeva (ja öö) jooksul kuskile. Harjusin selle kasutamisega nii ära, et kui see otsa sai, oli teiste tuššidega tükk tegemist, et ilma kogu nägu täis mäkerdamata rahuldav tulemus saavutada :D

Tahan kindlastiuue osta, kui selle kuskilt poest üles leian.

Avon Ultra Glazewear huuleläige toonis Palm Beach Pink - täiesti pretensioonitu huuleläige, mis oli ilusat korallroosat tooni, ei kleepunud ja ei püsinud ka väga kaua peal kuid kiirel ajal hea ja mugav toode huultele peale kanda ja uksest välja joosta :)

Testrid

Mul on testritega armastuse-vihkamise suhe. Igal juhul meeldivad mulle enim sämplid, mis on pisikeses tuubis või potsikus ja need väiksed kotikesed ajavad mind pigem närvi. Aga testritest kirjutan peagi hoopis eraldi :)

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate - sellest pudelist jätkus mulle rohkem kui nädalaks. Tegemist on lõhnatu õlise seerumiga, mida on vaja vaid paar tilka, et katta kogu nägu ja kael. Sattusin peale selle kasutamist sõltuvusse sellest, et viimane samm õhtuses näohoolduses oleks just seerum. Hetkel ei jookse poodi täissuuruses toodet ostma, sest sahtlis on mitu pudelit oma järge ootamas.

Urban Decay Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer Potion - sain neli sellist lauvärvi aluskreemi testrit kaasa oma Naked3 paletiga ning esimesena proovisin just vananemisvastase toimega aluskreemi. No mingit vananemise ilmingutega võitlemise efekti ma küll ei täheldanud kuid tegemist on väga tõhusa aluskreemiga. Vaja on vaid pisike tilk, et mõlemad laud katta. Väga hea aluskreem!

Dior One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum - sellest kotikesest jätkus üheks kasutuskorraks ning kahjuks ärkasin hommikul ääritunud ja punaselaigulise näonahaga.

In search of a new perfume

I am slowly emptying my perfumes and although I have my top 5 favourite perfumes, I'd like to find something new and exciting.

I've collected a huge pile of perfume samples over the time and I keep them in this little pouch.

I randomly picked out five and tested each one for a day.

 

 

So, I picked out Love, Chloe, Rochas Eau Sensuelle, Kiehl's Original Musk, Jeanne Lanvin Couture and YSL Manifesto.

Love, Chloe (launched in 2010) and Rochas Eau Sensuelle (from 2009) were both very strong sweet scents that seemed more appropriate for evening wear and for mature ladies. Both of them did not suit me at all and made my head ache within half an hour. They seemed very similar scents to me and they do have some notes that are the similar (Love, Chloe here and Rochas Eau Sensuelle here).  Unfortunately I can't wear neither of these, so moving on.

Kiehl's Original Musk is an unisex perfume which dates back to 1851. You can definitely sense that the recipe is very old and in my opinion you either like it or hate it. It brings me back to my childhood and to the scent that came from my great aunt's buduoir. I like it and would like to have it in my collection. But I'm not running to the counter just yet :)

Both Jeanne Lanvin Couture (launched in 2012) and YSL Manifesto (also launched in 2012) were more like my cup of tea. Both sweet but calm scents that didn't irritate me in any way. In my opinion they are suitable for both day and night wear. You can find notes of Lanvin Couture here and Manifesto's here . If I had to pick, I would go for Manifesto because it has two of my favourite scents in it - sandalwood and vanilla.

But... I'm still in search of a new favourite perfume so I'll be testing out other perfumes from my sample pile :)

 

 

Aegade jooksul on mul kogunenud mitukümmend parfüümitestrit ning kuna järjepidevalt saavad otsa parfüümid mu enda kollektsioonist, otsustasin sämpleid proovima hakata, lootuses, et leian uue lemmiklõhna :)

Testrid on mul väikse sinise kotikese sees ning valisin sealt suvalised viis välja, mis näppu jäid.

 

Love, Chloe ja Rochas Eau Sensuelle olid kaks sarnast lõhna, mis mõlemad panid mul poole tunniga pea valutama. Vänged, tummised ja magusad, sobilikud pigem õhtuseks kandmiseks ning vanemale daamile. Lõhnanoote saab kummagi kohta lugeda siit: Love, Chloe ja Rochas Eau Sensuelle . Seega kummastki neist ei saa minu uut lemmiklõhna.

Kiehl's Original Musk on tugev muskuselõhnaline unisex parfüüm, mis on parajalt eriline ning mis kas meeldib või üldse mitte. Lõhn on loodud aastal 1851 ja kindlasti on seda parfüümi nuusutades tunda ajaloo hõngu. Mind viib see alati tagasi lapsepõlve, vanatädi buduaari, mille sahtlid lõhnasid üsna sarnaselt.

Mulle meeldib!

Kaks viimast testrit olid mõlemad meeldivad rahulikud lõhnad. Jeanne Lanvin Couture on õige pisut värskem ning YSL Manifesto veidi puudrisem. Lõhnanoodid leiab siit: Lanvin ja Manifesto .

Kogu pundist on minu lemmik Manifesto, mille nootides on minu lemmikud sandlipuu ja vanill.

Siiski ei leidnud ma nende hulgast sellist, mis mind juuste lehvides poe poole jooksma paneks.

Otsin aga uued testrid oma hunnikust välja ja uudistan edasi :)

Empties #14

Yet another huge pile of empty bottles to throw away but before I do that, I'll share what I think of them and if I would repurchase :)

Hair and body

Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo - I first mentioned this one in my haul post and I must say that I liked it till the end. First of all the scent was just sooooo nice, the best I've had among all the dry shampoos I've had. It did its job but if you want very voluminous hair you should try something else. If they'd sell it in Estonia, I'd definitely repurchase.

Schauma Cotton Fresh Dry Shampoo Anti-grease - it was okay but as I said in my haul post (link above) it left a bit of white residue afterwards so it's more suitable to spray in your hair the night before to wake up with nice and clean-looking hair. It was quite good for the price :)

Avon Naturals Vanilla Moisturising Body Scrub - very thick cream that smelled like true vanilla. It   smelled so good I was tempted to eat it. It's not a full-on body scrub, more like a shower cream with exfoliating particles in it. I also liked that it really did moisturised my skin as the name promised. I would repurchase it first because of the yummy scent and second because it was a nice product to use between thorough exfoliation sessions :)

Face

Nivea Sensitive 3in1 Micellar Cleansing Water - I was actually positively surprised at how good this micellar water is. It struggles with removing eyeliner and mascara but overall I liked to use it after I cleansed my face to remove last traces of makeup and in the mornings to refresh my face. Also it didn't irritate my skin or eyes or cause any breakouts. I usually yearn for cleansing balms and milks instead of toners during colder seasons but I might repurchase this one in the spring :)

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - it did a good job removing makeup and other grime from my face and didn't irritate my skin nor eyes. It was a good product but for some reason it didn't wow me enough to buy another one.

Lumene Basic Blue Night Cream - I bought it last winter when my skin was in a bad shape from all the wind and cold. It did a great job making my skin feel good again. Plus the scent of this cream is just divine! Unfortunately it got old but I would repurchase come the freezing weather :)

Listerine Stay White Arctic Mint Mouthwash - I needed to include this one because it is a great mouthwash! I don't know about the whitening abilities but all the other stuff it does very well. Mind the extra strong taste though :)

Makeup

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream SPF30 5in1 Beauty Balm - I wrote a first impressions/review post on it HERE and in one word - worth of repurchasing :)

Garnier Roll-on for eyes - this product in a green tube is meant to help remove puffiness and cool down your under-eye area. Very useful for mornings after a big party or watching a drama :)

Garnier Roll-on Anti-dark circles - it's actually a very nice concealer for dark under-eye area. I don't know why people talk so little about it. It has a metallic roller-ball as an applicator which is so nice and cooling. If you need a full-coverage, this might be a little light for you but still I love the product and will repurchase :)

Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel - a nice product to keep your eyebrows at place for at least half a day. Or maybe it's just my eyebrows that need a proper wax to stay put. Still this one was better than a lot of other similar products :)

MaxFactor Ageless Elixir 2in1 Foundation Serum (sample size) - it's not suitable for combo and oily skin so that's why I didn't even finish the sample size of it. 

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream (sample size) - this sample made me buy a full size and you can read my review on it HERE :)

Perfume
Escada Magnetism - I'm sad it's gone :( Maybe will repurchase one day.
I mentioned it in my perfume collection part II post :)

p.s. it's autumn and the lightning is very bad so please forgive and bare with the bad quality pictures for another 6 months :)

Väike kirjatükk veel enne kui kõik need potsikud ja pudelid kaovad :)

Juuksed ja keha

Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo - mainisin seda esmakordselt oma ostude postituses ning pean ütlema, et olin sellega rahul viimase piserduseni. See on kuivšampoon, mis teeb täpselt seda, mida vaja - tekitab puhaste, värskete juuste välimuse. Lisaks lõhnas see ka taevalikult! Kes soovib kuivšampoonilt lisaks ka megavolüümi saada, peaks mõne teise brändi poole kiikama. Kui seda Eestis müüdaks, ostaksin kindlasti uuesti :)

Schauma Cotton Fresh Dry Shampoo Anti-grease - see oli täitsa okei kuivšampoon odavamate samalaadsete toodete hulgas. Nagu ma oma postituses (link eelmise tootekirjelduse juures) mainisin, jätab see korraliku valge kihi juustesse, mida on raske välja kammida. Seega sobib see pigem eelmisel õhtul juustesse pihustamiseks, et hommikul ärgates oleks juuksed värske ja puhta väljanägemisega. Nii odava raha eest täitsa korralik toode.

Avon Naturals Vanilla Moisturising Body Scrub - tihke kreemjas toode, mis lõhnas nagu päris vanill. See lõhnas nii hästi, et ma oleks seda tõesõna peaaegu maitsnud :) See kindlasti pole kehakoorija vaid pigem dušikreem koorivate osakestega ja nautisin selle kasutamist oma koorimissessioonide vahepeal väga. Nagu tuubil lubatud, niisutas see mu nahka ning ostaksin seda uuesti :)

Nägu

Nivea Sensitive 3in1 Micellar Cleansing Water - ma olin positiivselt üllatunud kui väga sellega rahule jäin. Kasutasin seda õhtuti pärast meigi mahapesemist, et eemaldada viimaseid jääke ning hommikuti puhastava ja virgutava toonikuna. See ei ärritanud mu nahka ega silmi ning ei tekitanud punne. Kuna sügistalvisel hooajal armastan pigem kreemjaid tooted, siis ei välista, et järgmisel kevadel soetan uue pudeli :)

Oriflame Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - see puhastusgeel sai hästi hakkama meigi ja muu mustuse näonahalt eemaldamisega kuid mingil põhjusel ei vaimustunud ma sellest niivõrd, et uut pudelit soetada. Muidu hea toode väga taskukohase hinna eest!

Lumene Basic Blue Night Cream - ostsin selle kreemi eelmisel talvel kui mu näonahk oli ilmastikuolude tõttu väga ärritunud ja halvas seisundis. Juba pärast esimest kasutuskorda nägin ülihäid tulemusi. Väga hea kreem, mille soetan uuesti kui ilmad karmiks ja külmaks muutuvad ning lisaks lõhnab see lausa taevalikult :)

Listerine Stay White Arctic Mint Mouthwash - nii kui see suuvee pudel otsa sai, leidsin end seda igatsemast. Maitse on muidugi tohutult kange, seega seda tuleks silmas pidada. Lisaks ei tea ma midagi kosta lubatud valgendava efekti kohta :)

Makeup

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream SPF30 5in1 Beauty Balm - kirjutasin selle kohta eraldi postituse, mille saab kokku võtta lühidalt - väärt uuesti ostmist!

Garnier Roll-on for eyes - see rohelises tuubis geel on mõeldud tursunud silmade rahustamiseks ja silmaümruse jahutamiseks. Imeliselt hea toode pärast pikale veninud pidu või tatise draamafilmi vaatamist :) Tasub soetamist!

Garnier Roll-on Anti-dark circles - väga hea tumedate silmaaluste katmiseks mõeldud toode, mis mingil kummalisel põhjusel ei saa piisavalt kiidusõnu! Oma parimatel päevadel (kui need pole tavapäraselt lillad), katab ning samal ajal niisutab mu silmaaluseid perfektselt. Ostan kindlasti veel!

Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel - hea toode, millega fikseerida oma kulmud pärast seda kui oled need värvinud. Minu kulmud on nagu metsik mets, mistõttu mulle jäi selle geeli "kleepimisomadustest" veidi väheks kuid siiski julgen seda soovitada. Ilmselt ostan siiski veel :)

MaxFactor Ageless Elixir 2in1 Foundation Serum (tester) - kindlasti pole see jumestuskreem sobilik kombineeritud ja rasuse nahaga daamidele. Kasutasin seda umbes kolm korda ning veendusin, et pärast paari tundi välja näha kui diskopall, ei ole päris minu teema :) Pigem soovitan seda jumestuskreemi kuiva nahaga ning eakamatele daamidele :)

Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream (tester) - pärast selle testri kasutamist soetasin endale täissuuruses toote ning minu arvamust sellest saab lugeda SIIT :)

Parfüüm
Escada Magnetism - mul on väga kahju, et see lõhn otsa sai ning küllap soetan selle millalgi uuesti.
Kirjutasin sellest pikemalt oma parfüümi kollektsiooni teise osa postituses :)

Haul: goodies from Kiehl's

In my Fall Wishlist post I told you about the BB cream I was trying out and after using it three times, I was sure I need it in my life :D

So I got myself Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream in shade Light.

It says on the packaging that it's instantly perfecting formula clinically proven to correct skin tone irregularities, contains vitamin C and broad spectrum SPF 50 PA+++.

It comes in a 30ml (1.0 fl.oz) tube which is enough for a very long time because my 3ml (0.1 fl.oz.) sample was enough for 4 uses to cover all of my face and neck.

I use it to even out my skin tone on the days when I'm not bothered to put on a full face of makeup. I have also used it under my mineral foundation as a primer.

I hasn't irritated my skin nor broken me out. I can't say if it has improved my skin tone and texture yet because I haven't used it regularly.

I would also say that this BB cream is suitable for dry and mature skin but not for oily skin because it tends to get shiny on my T-zone after half a day (I have combination skin).

All in all, I'm happy with this product and have three favourites from Kiehl's from now on :)

(other two are their beautiful Creme de Corps and one of my favourite scents from them Fig Leaf and Sage)

One thing I love about visiting Kiehl's counters is that they are always very knowledgeable and are happily offering you a bunch of samples to try their products at home.

So I was totally dumbstruck and very surprised when I received a bunch of samples (some of them deluxe sizes) to try out.

I got a sample of Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye cream, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream accompanied by their Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream, Cryste Marine Ultra Riche lifting and firming cream and a travel size Oil Eliminator Refreshing Shine Control Toner For Men which they said is also suitable for setting your makeup :)

It was like Christmas already :)

I'll let you know if any of these samples will make me want to get a full size and why :)

Oma sügise ostusoovide postituses mainisin BB kreemi, mille testrit proovisin ning need kolm kasutuskorda andsid kinnitust, et mu ellu on vaja täissuuruses Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream toonis Light (hind 29 €).

Pakendil lubatakse, et see kreem ühtlustab nahatooni, sisaldab C vitamiini ning väga kõrget SPF 50 PA+++ päikesekaitsefaktorit.

Kreemi on tuubis 30ml, millest jätkub väga pikaks ajaks, sest juba 3ml testrituubist jätkus neljaks kasutuskorraks, et katta kogu nägu ja kael.

Enamasti kasutan ma seda BB kreemi neil päevil, mil mul pole aega või viitsimist meigiga pikalt jännata, et ühtlustada nahatooni. Samuti olen seda kasutanud oma mineraalse meigipõhja all aluskreemina. Ka selliselt toimib see hästi.

Kiehl'si kreem pole mu nahka ärritanud ega punne tekitanud kuid selleks, et veenduda selle nahatooni  ja -tekstuuri parandavas efektis, peaksin seda järjepidevalt pikema aja vältel kasutama. 

Kiehl'si BB kreem sobib kindlasti vanemas eas daamidele ning ka kuiva naha omanikele. Rasuse nahaga neiudele ma seda pigem ei soovita, sest minu kombineeritud nahal hakkab T-tsoon läikima poole päeva pealt.
Kokkuvõtteks olen oma ostuga väga rahul ning nüüdseks on mul Kiehl'silt juba kolm lemmikut toodet :)

(teised kaks on ülihea Creme de Corps kehakreem ning üks mu lemmiklõhnu Fig Leaf and Sage)

Põhjus, miks mulle alati meeldib Kiehl'si Kaubamajas külastada, on nende asjatundlikud ja sõbralikud müüjad ning fakt, et nad annavad hea meelega kaasa hulga testreid ning ei sunni sind kohe ja proovimata täissuuruses potsikuid ostma. 

Seega olin ma täiesti sõnatu ja ülimalt positiivselt üllatunud kui leidsin oma kotist nii suurel hulgal erinevaid sämpleid :) Nagu oleks juba Jõulud käes :D
Kotis olid peidus Midnight Recovery Concentrate seerum ja Midnight Recovery Eye silmakreem, Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream näokreem koos sama sarja Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream silmakreemiga, Cryste Marine Ultra Riche pinguldav näokreem ning reisisuuruses Oil Eliminator Refreshing Shine Control Toner For Men toonik meestele, mida sobib kasutada ka meigikinnitusspreina :)

Anna kindlasti tulevikus teada kui nende hulgas on tooteid, mida kindlasti täissuuruses soetada soovin ning miks :)

Wishlist #5: Fall...

Autumn calls for new stuff and new wishes :D

1. H&M Handbag 39,99 € - I would love to have it in black and/or grey

2. Zara Knit scarf 12,95€ - I'd love to have all of them but especially in this dark grey and ecru

3. Seppälä Betty Boot 39,95€  - if I could, I would wear sneakers all day and on every occasion

4. Kiehl's Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream approx 26€ - I tried a sample of it and it seems like a really good product. I can't see it on the skin but at the same time it makes my skin look even, radiant and healthy.

 Sügisega tuli juurde ka hulk uusi soove :)

Ülalpool on nimekiri soovidest ja lingid kodulehtedele.

Hoiatan - soovinimekiri võib palju pikemaks venida kui neile veebilehtedele pikemaks ajaks hulkuma jääda :D

Kiehl's Creme de Corps

I got this huge bottle of Kiehl's Creme de Corps almost a year ago when they opened their counter in our local department store (I wrote about it here).

So, in the end of last year when I finally used up all the body moisturisers I had opened, I tried this lovely cream. It almost has no scent, it absorbs quickly, is very rich and moisturising and is suitable for sensitive skin and even for kids :)

What I love the most about it is that it gives my skin a very lovely glow. I suppose beta-carotene, cocoa butter and sesame oil inside of it has something to do with creating the glow :)

The bottle itself is huge - 1 litre/33.8 fl oz and is from the limited charity edition illustrated by New York artist Kenny Scharf.

I'm glad I have this cream and when I'll finally use this one up, I might even repurchase :)

P.S. Makeup of the Week #3 will be up tomorrow. And I know it's so not Monday already :D

Veidi vähem kui aasta tagasi avati Tallinna Kaubamajas maailmakuulsa brändi Kiehl's lett.

Minu muljeid sellelt ürituselt saab lugeda SIIT.

Mul oli õnne keerutada loosiratast ja saada kätte vaata, et peaauhind - liitrine pumbaga pudel Kiehl's Creme de Corps kehakreemi. Eriti tore on selle pudeli juures New Yorki kunstniku Kenny Scharfi lõbus illustratsioon. Tegemist oli limiteeritud heategevusliku partiiga.

Kreemi koguse tõttu ja paljuski ka sellepärast, et mul oli rohkelt muid kehakreeme avatud, jätsin ma selle kreemi riiulile oma aega ootama. Ja eelmise aasta lõpus see aeg tuli.

Ja oh! kui tore, et ma selle hiiglasliku pudeli avasin. Selles peitub rikkaliku koostisega kreem, milles beeta-karoteeni, kakaovõid ja seesamiõli. Vaatamata sellele imendub kreem üsna kiiresti. Ka on see peaaegu lõhnatu ja sobib kindlasti nii tundliku naha omanikele kui lastele kasutamiseks.

Lisaks - ja see on vaata, et mu lemmikuim omadus selle kreemi juures - jätab see nahale imeilusa kuma. Esimene kord ma lausa hõõrusin oma sääri, et aru saada, kas tõesti pole kreem veel nahka imendunud, et see nõnda läigib aga ei. Nahk oli kuiv aga lihtsalt kumas :)

Kokkuvõtteks - kui see kreem mul kunagi otsa saab, soetan kindlasti veel :)

P.S. Nädala meik #3 postitus tuleb homme. Ja ma olen kursis, et homme ei ole ammu enam esmaspäev :D

Wishlist #2 / Salasoovid #2

This is part two of my endless wishes :)

I love Kiehl's aromatic mists and especially their Fig leaf & Sage range. I need this fragrance in my life and wouldn't mind having a shower gel and body lotion aswell :)

This Zara knitted scarf has been my obsession for months now and I suppose I will just give up and get it this weekend.

I am such a sucker for planners and especially Moleskine ones, even though I mostly use electronic devices for notes and calendar. I have a feeling this lovely and feminine diary will eventually end up on the honourable place on my desk next year :)

Michael Kors is one of my top favourite handbag designers and this tote would be just perfect to carry around my laptop and stuff I need for work.

:)(: 

Unistamine pole ju keelatud, seega siin on teine osa minu hetkesoovide nimekirjast. Need on praktilised esemed, millest nii mõnigi sobiks ka armsale inimesele kingikotti pista :)

***

Kiehl'si lõhnaveed on midagi hoopis teistsugust ning nende valikust on mulle enim hinge pugenud Fig leaf & Sage lõhnavesi (hind umbes 35 eurot). Kui võimalus avaneks, tooksin koju ka veel sama sarja dušigeeli ja kehakreemi, sest ega küll küllale liiga tee ;D

Seda suurt ja sossut salli olen juba mitu kuud endale soovinud - Zara knitted scarf maksab üsna taskukohased 16,95 € ja ilmselt ma ta nädalavahetusel šopates ka lõpuks koju kaasa toon :)

Kuigi ma enamasti teen märkmeid ja pean kalendrit elektroonilistes vidinates, olen pikka aega fännanud ja kasutanud Moleskine kalendermärkmikke. Võimalik, et uueks aastaks soetan endale just sellise armsa ja naiseliku planeerija (hind 20 euro ringis). 

Kui ma peaksin une pealt nimetama disaineri ja käekoti mida endale soovin, oleks see kahtlemata Michael Kors tote stiilis kott. On haruharva juhtunud, et mõni MK kott mind külmaks jätab seega just selline ruumikas "märss" mahutaks kenasti nii mu läpaka kui kõik muu tööeluks vajaliku. Hind umbes 250 eurot ja paraku peab see soov küll veel pikaks ajaks helesiniseks unistuseks jääma :)

Empties #3

Time for another empties post.

Face

Garnier Simply Essentials 2in1 makeup remover - it removes makeup very quickly and easily but leaves a funny oily residue on my skin for a long time. Also, I got the feeling that it only cleansed my skin on the surface and instead of cleaning my pores, it clogged them. Not gonna repurchase!

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser - since I used it only twice a week as a regular face-scrub, not daily as I should have, it didn't do much to my skin. So I actually can't review it properly. Might still try it on a daily basis and see what happens :)

Puhas Loodus cleansing milk with calendula - yes, it removed makeup but not easily enough. Also, it stung my eyes a bit. It was an emergency buy and I will not repurchase.

Eveline Moisturising Micellar Solution 3in1 - well, that was a huge disapointment. It just didn't do anything. Plus, it was for dry and sensitive skin, mine is combination. Luckily, it was cheap. As you can see, I have 3/4 left but won't even bother to use it up. 

Hair and body

Kiehl's Amino Acid shampoo and conditioner for all hair types - I loved the coconutty scent. The shampoo lathered up very well but left my hair squeaky and dry. I liked the conditioner more but still it was a bit hard to detangle my hair. Not gonna repurchase this haircare line.

Oriflame Nature Secrets anti-perspirant with mint&raspberry - love it! I've lost count how many of these I've used up. I've generally loved all Oriflame anti-perspirants, so will definitely repurchase.

Make-up

Revlon Colorburst gloss in 002 Crystal Lilac - I loved it and enjyed evertything about it - the colour, application and wear. The best!!!

Glossybox lipstick in Glossy Pink, Oriflame Pure Colour Floral lipstick in Soft Pink and Oriflame Pure Colour lipstick in Candy Pink - they were just old and lokked ugly. Would only not repurchase the Candy Pink one because I just didn't like the shade.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra  - I've dedicated an entire blogpost to this ah-mazing foundation! Absolutely adore it!

This time I learned a really hard lesson - if you've found products that suit you, don't change them! Your skin and hair will appreciate it and you'll be a lot happier :)

Aeg on ritta laduda ja minema visata viimase paari kuu jooksul tühjaks saanud toodete potsikud.

Nägu

Garnier Simply Essentials 2in1 meigieemaldaja - ostsin selle peale seda kui Eesti blogimaastik oli täis ülikiitvaid arvustusi. Tuleb tõele au anda, see tõesti eemaldas meigi kergelt ja väga kiiresti, kuid jättis minu nahale üsna pikaks ajaks õlise kihi. Lisaks tundus mulle, et see puhastas naha vaid pealispinnalt ja poore see pigem ummistas kui puhastas. Enam ei osta.

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser ehk igapäevane kooriv näopuhastaja - ma ei tunne vajadust oma nägu igapäevaselt koorivate osadega puhastada. Sestap kasutasin seda nagu tavalist näokoorijat 2 korda nädalas. Nii harva kasutamise järel ma paraku mingit efektiivset tulemust ei näinud kuid tunnistan, et ei kasutanud seda ka otstarbepäraselt. Võimalik, et millalgi proovin seda veel ja siis juba tihemini. Annan siis ka teada, kuidas mõjus :)

Puhas Loodus Rahustav puhastuspiim saialillega - see oli avariiost kuni mu tavapärane puhastaja postiga kohale jõudis. No ega selle kohta midagi väga head/halba öelda saa. Puhastab küll. Natuke ajas silmi kipitama ka. Ei midagi sellist, mille järele taas poodi ruttaksin.

Eveline Moisturising Micellar Solution 3in1 mitsellaarvesi - esiteks, see on mõeldud kuivale ja tundlikule nahale. Mul on normaalne/kombineeritud nahk. Teiseks, no see kohe üldse ei saanud meigi eemaldamisega korralikult hakkama. Tuli ikka kõvasti hõõruda ja hommikul olid ikka silmaalused mustad. Pettumus! Hea vähemalt, et odav oli :D

Keha ja juuksed

Kiehl's Amino Acid šampoon ja palsam - mõeldud kõikidele juuksetüüpidele. Šampoon vahutas hästi, pesi juuksed puhtaks kuid jättis need kuidagi kriuksuvaks ja raskesti kammitavaks. Palsam oli palju mõnusam kuid siiski ei tekitanud nii mõnusat ja kergesti lahtikammitavate juuste efekti kui mu lemmik Matrixi sari. Lõhn oli mõlemal tootel lihtsalt imeline, kergelt kookoseline kuid uuesti ma selle sarja juuksehooldust ei osta.

Oriflame Nature Secrets vaarika roll-on deodorant - järjekorras juba ma-ei-tea-mitmes. Hea lõhn, tööd teeb suurepäraselt, ei ärrita õrna nahka kaenla all. Kindlasti ostan veel! Üleüldse on minu proovitud Oriflame'i antiperspirandid kõik väga head.

Make-up

Revlon Colorburst huuleläige toonis 002 Crystal Lilac - kõikidest elu jooksul proovitud huuleläigetest on see mu lemmikuim! Toon, koostis, püsivus, lihtne pealekandmine - kõik on täiuslik!

Glossybox huulepulk toonis Glossy Pink, Oriflame Pure Colour Floral huulepulk toonis Soft Pink ja Oriflame Pure Colour huulepulk toonis Candy Pink - kõik need leiavad oma lõpu prügikastis, sest olid vanad ja neil polnud enam esinduslikku välimust. Soetaksin esimesed kaks kindlasti uuesti, Candy Pink'i enam mitte. Ma lihtsalt ei salli pärlmutriseid huulepulki :)

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra jumestuskreem - kõigi aegade kõige lemmikum jumestuskreem, millele pühendasin lausa eraldi postituse.

Selleks korraks kõik. Paarikuine erinevate ja uute toodete proovimine õpetas mulle üht - kui oled leidnud endale sobiva ilutoote, siis ära seda välja vaheta! Su nahk ja juuksed tänavad sind ning oled ise palju rõõmsam :)
