Empties #21

I love reading other people's empties' posts so I try to write one every now and then.
Maybe I should write these kind of posts more frequently so that the amount of products wouldn't be so overwhelming and you could actually read it through in one go :)

Makeup

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup  - this is my most favourite full coverage foundation that I have used myself and on other people and it has always performed flawlessly. I wrote a full review on it HERE and needless to say, would repurchase any time.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal Foundation - I really like Healthy Mix foundations from Bourjois. This one is great all year round and especially during spring/summer even on my combination skin. It has medium coverage, feels nice on the skin, needs a little touch-up around lunch time and doesn't oxidise. I've been loving it for years and already have repurchased a new bottle.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation - this Serum Gel foundation was perfect for colder seasons when my skin was a bit dryer. I wouldn't recommend it to girls with oily skin and I can't use it during spring/summer because my t-zone gets oily rather quickly. Other than that, it's a nice light to medium coverage foundation that I would repurchase next winter.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara - this mascara is great for every day use. It doesn't give super long or voluminous lashes but allows to put on few coats for dramatic effect without making my lashes clumpy. I especially love the rubber wand that has super short bristles on one side and longer ones on the other. I manage not to get mascara all over my eyelids with it and that's why I ordered the Brilliant Black version during holidays when it was on sale. I already have a third one of this mascara so that means I really really like it :)
Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara in Dark Blond - I didn't like this product at all. The wand has a ridiculous ball on the end which purpose I don't understand. The colour had a bit too much red in it and it made my brows really crunchy. I didn't finish this product and will not repurchase.
Essence I Love Stage Eyeshadow Base - another product I was very disappointed with. I have oily eyelids and none of the eyeshadows stay on my lids without it. Unfortunately this eyeshadow primer just didn't do it's job and by lunch time my eyeshadow was all gone or creased.
Avon Eyeshadow Primer in light beige - I can't even count how many of these eyeshadow primer pots I've used up. Next time I'll order from Avon it will once again find itself in my shopping cart :)
Skincare
Stenders Wild Rose Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - I wrote abou the wild rose range from Stenders HERE. I liked it for removing heavy eye makeup which it did very well. I would repurchase in the future :)
Madara Vitalising Soap Wild Fruit - it had a lovely scent, didn't dry my skin out and got me clean. Plus the fact that it has plenty of natural ingredients in it makes it a good product.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - I have a full review on it HERE. I love this product and will probably repurchase over and over again!
Hair & kids
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Clean & Classic Original (x3) and XXL Volume - I think the fact that I have 4 empty Batiste bottles here speaks for itself. My favourite one is of course the orginal but the xxl version is great when I want to achieve super voluminous hair. Like them a lot and will definitely repurchase!
L'Oréal Professionel Nature Tendresse kids shampoo and leave-in detangling conditioner for children - these two products have been my favourite for a long time. It smells nice, is gentle for kids and the detangling conditioner really did its job :)
Avon Hello Kitty Detangling spray - this one was also very effective in detangling but the spritz on it was weird and is weird on the new bottle as well. It sprays the liquid unevenly so you have to pay a bit more attention while using it. Other than that it's a good product :)

:)(:

Tühjade potsikute postitused on ühed minu lemmikutest ning seetõttu püüan neid ka ise kirja panna.
Ilmselt peaksin siiski oma tühjast taarast tihedamini kirjutama, et tooteid liiga palju ja postitus liiga pikk ei saaks. Muidu äkki ei jõuagi tervet kirjutist korraga läbi lugeda :)

Makeup
Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup  - see on üks minu lemmikuimatest täiskatvusega ja kauapüsivatest jumestuskreemidest, mille kasutamist naudin nii endal kui ka jumestustöid tehes. Kirjutasin sellest pikemalt SIIN ning ostaksin seda toodet igal ajal uuesti.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal Foundation - Healthy Mix jumestuskreemid meeldivad mulle väga. Healthy Mix on veidi tihkema koostisega jumestuskreem, mis sobib minu nahatüübile nii talvel kui kevadsuvisel hooajal. Keskmise katvusega kreem püsib kenasti peal, ei muuda päeva jooksul värvi ja puudriga tuleb seda üle tupsutada alles pealelõunal. Juba on uus pudel kasutuses ning kindel koht minu lemmikute hulgas olemas :)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation - see seerumiga geelkreemi variant sobis mulle eriti hästi sügistalvisel perioodil kui nahk oli tavapärasest kuivem. Suvisel ajal ma seda siiski oma kombineeritud nahal kanda ei saa. Katvus on sellel kerge kuni keskmine ja üldises plaanis on tegemist väga mõnusa tootega. Lisaks on sellel ka suurepärane lõhn.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonder Lash Mascara - suurepärane tušš igapäevaseks kasutamiseks. See ei anna supertihedaid ja pikki ripsmeid kuid seda on võimalik peale kanda mitu kihti, et saavutada dramaatilisem tulemus ning seejuures ei kleebi see ripsmeid koledasti kokku. Lisaks on sellel ka ülimugav kummiharjas, kus ühel poolel imelühikesed "karvakesed" ja teisel pool veidi pikemad. Nii ei määri ma kogu oma silmaümbrust täis ning olen lisaks pühadeaegsele Brilliant Black versioonile ostnud nüüdseks ka juba kolmanda tuubi seda tušši :)
Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara toonis Dark Blond - mulle see toode ei meeldinud ning ma ei kasutanud ilmselt pooltki tuubist ära. Harjase otsas on mingi arusaamatu pall, mille funktsioonist ma aru ei saa ning see muudab kuivades kulmukarvad kuidagi krõpsuvaks ja kõvaks. Lisaks on Dark Blond toon minu jaoks liiga punaka alatooniga.
Essence I Heart Stage Eyeshadow Base - veel üks toode, mida kasutasin paar korda ja suunasin seejärel prügikasti. Kuna vajan lauvärvide püsimiseks kindlasti aluskreemi, proovisin seda taskukohast varianti kuid lõunaks oli värv kas laugudelt hoopis kadunud või kogunenud vagudesse.
Avon Eyeshadow Primer toonis light beige - ma isegi enam ei tea, mitu potsikut seda Avon'i lauvärvi aluskreemi ma olen ära kasutanud. Järgmine kord kui Avon'ist midagi tellin, on ka see toode kindlasti ostukorvis :)
Nahahooldus
Stenders Wild Rose Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - kirjutasin Stendersi metsiku roosi sarjast SIIN. See vahend tuli eriti hästi toime tugeva silmameigi eemaldamisega ning kuna tegemist on kahefaasilise tootega, oli ka silmaümbruse nahk pärast kasutamist mõnusalt niisutatud :)
Madara Vitalising Soap Wild Fruit - mõnusa lõhnaga dušigeel, mis ei kuivatanud nahka ning pesi mu kenasti puhtaks. Boonuseks ka tavapärasest suurem hulk looduslikke koostisosi.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - sellest imetootest kirjutasin pikemalt SIIN. Absoluutne lemmik meigieemaldusvahend, mida ostan kindlasti üha uuesti.
Juuksed & lapsed
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Clean & Classic Original (x3) ja XXL Volume - fakt, et mul on 4 tühja Batiste kuivšampooni pudelit räägib juba enda eest. Minu lemmik on Original versioon ning XXL Volume annab tõesti väga palju kohevust . Kindel on see, et ostan neid uuesti :)
L'Oréal Professionel Nature Tendresse laste šampoon ja leave-in detangling juustessejäetav palsam lastele - need kaks on olnud minu pikaajalised lemmikud mini-me juustel kasutamiseks. Juustessejäetav palsam harutab pusad kergelt lahti ning jätab juustesse õrna virsikulõhna.
Avon Hello Kitty Detangling spray - see Avon'i pusasprei lastele teeb oma tööd pusade lahtiharutamisel samuti väga hästi kuid nad peaks midagi ette võtma selle pudeli pihustajaga. Juba teasel pudelil pihustab see toodet suht suvaliselt laiali nii, et kasutamisel tuleb olla tähelepanelik. Muidu on toode hea ja kui teil on kodus poised-plikad, kelle juuksed kergesti pusasse lähevad, saab sellest tootest kindlasti abi.

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 :)

What's in my go-to makeup bag?

I thought I'd update "What's in my makeup bag" post since I did one almost two years ago (LINK)  :)

I try to have few staples in my makeup bag for touch-ups during the day and to have few things for quickly changing my makeup from day to night if needed :)

I love this YSL makeup bag because the surface of it doesn't get dirty and it opens up very wide so I can quickly rummage through it and grab what I need :)

I wear contacts so I always need to have eye drops with me. My favourite is Bausch&Lomb ReNu MultiPlus one. Since my face gets shiny throughout the day I always have a powder and/or blotting papers with me. At the moment it's Lancôme Micro-Aerated Pressed Powder in Translucent and Oriflame Optimals Matte Touch Face Blotting Tissues. I apply my powder with Oriflame Giordani Gold Flat Foundation Brush, it's short and tiny and fits perfectly in my bag. There's always a compact mirror and Travalo filled with my favourite perfume. Also because of the small packaging I like to keep my EOS Hand Lotion in Berry Blossom with me at all times :)

As I'm a lipstick hoarder, there's always a handful of lip products in my makeup bag. I switch them from time to time and at the moment I have more fall appropriate shades with me  - YSL Gloss Pur in shade 9, Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in shade 05, Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in shade 020 Best Seller,Truth Teller and Essence Longlasting Lipstick in 07 Natural Beauty.

 For my dark circles I have L'Oreal Touche Magique concealer which I think is a great for illuminating, a black liner which is a random one from Bellaoggi and Oriflame retractable Wonder Colour Lip Liner in Vibrant Pink.

There's always a lip balm and for now it's Burt's Bees Lip Balm with kokum butter that I absolutely love!

Do you take makup bag with you? How many items do have in it? What's your staples?

:)(:

Mulle meeldib sobrada oma sõbrannade meigikottides ning sel põhjusel mõtlesin kaasajastada oma "Meigikoti sisu" postitust, sest viimati kirjutasin sellest pea kaks aastat tagasi (LINK) :)

Selles valges YSL meigikotis kannan kaasas hädavajalikke tooteid, et päeva jooksul oma meiki värskendada ning ootamatuste korral päevameik õhtuks sobivaks muuta.

Kuna kannan läätseid, on mul kotis alati kaasas niisutavad silmatilgad, minu lemmikuks on Bausch&Lomb ReNu MultiPlus. Alati on kaasas ka peegel ning Travalo minu lemmikparfüümiga. Kuna minu kombineeritud nahk muutub päeva jooksul läikivaks, on mul alati kaasas imavad paberid (Oriflame Optimals Matte Touch Face Blotting Tissues) ning presspuuder (Lancôme Micro-Aerated Pressed Powder toonis Translucent). Puudrit kannan peale Oriflame Giordani Gold lameda jumestuskreemi pintsliga, sest see on lühikese varrega ja väike, nii et mahub hõlpsalt kotti. Väikese pakendi tõttu on mugav kaasas kanda ka EOS Berry Blossom kätekreemi.

Meigikoti valdav enamus kuulub huuletoodetele, mida aeg-ajalt vahetan. Hetkel on mu meigikotis sügisele sobilikud tooted - Burt's Bees huulepalsam, YSL Gloss Pur huuleläige toonis 9, Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector toonis 05, Catrice Infinite Shine Lip Gloss huuleläige toonis 020 Best Seller,Truth Teller ja Essence Longlasting Lipstick huulepulk toonis 07 Natural Beauty.

Veel on alati kaasas valgustpeegeldav peitekreem minu tumedatele silmaalustele (L'Oreal Touche Magique), must silmapliiats (suvaline firmalt Bellaoggi) ja huulepliiats (Oriflame Wonder Colour Lip Liner toonis Vibrant Pink).

Kas sa kannad igapäevaselt meigikotti kaasas? Millised on sinu asendamatud iluvidinad?

Empties #19

Just before I left for my vacation in mid July, I cleaned out some of my makeup, so I got ton of stuff to throw away.

Here's the bunch with my mini reviews :)

Hair, body, face makeup, skincare & perfume
Girlz Only Dry Shampoo XXL Volume-Plus - it's quite good and very affordable dry shampoo that does it's job pretty well regarding making your hair look fresh and clean but I didn't see the XXL volumizing effect. Also it smelled sweet and floral. I would buy it again if I needed one quickly and there were no alternatives in the store ;)
Logona Lemon Balm Balance Shampoo - this is a natural product that's supposed to harmonise unbalanced scalp functions. I got it to tame my greasy roots but for some reason I didn't fall in love with it and didn't see great results. I know that switching to natural haircare takes time but I just didn't have the patience :)
Avon Senses Mood Therapy Revitalising shower gel with acai beer extract - typical body wash that smelled really, really good. Might repurchase when it's on sale again :)
Granny Agafia Body Scrub with buckwheat and milk - I bought this body scrub from my friends' mother who goes to Russia to get them. It smelled like fresh yoghurt and was nice on the skin but nothing that special to travel the world for it :)
Hydraluron - this is a facial moisture boosting serum that has hyaluronic acid in it. My skin loved it and it sank into it within seconds. Also great under makeup. Will definitely repurchase :)
Smashbox Photo Finish and Photo Finish UVA/UVB SPF 15 primer samples - I didn't see any results with these primers. They didn't reduce the appearance of my large pores and didn't keep my skin matte. Don't get what the hype is about :)
Comfort Zone Lip Blooming Scrub - it was so expensive when I bought it but it was literally the only lip scrub at that time in one of the largest department stores we have. And it was totally useless. I was so mad! Do not recommend it at all...
Oriflame The One Everlasting Foundation in Fair Nude - I was a nice foundation with light to medium coverage and if you set it with powder your face will stay matte for like half a day. Might repurchase :)
Giorgio Armani High Precision Retouch concealer in shade #3 - this concealer is more suitable for blemishes and not for under-eye area. I constantly struggle with finding a great under-eye concealer for my dark circles and unfortunately this one didn't do the job.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion sample in Sin - I love UD primer potions but this sample that I got with my Naked3 palette is just tooooooo metallic. It's more like a liquid eyeshadow than a primer.
Ralph by Ralph Lauren - I just love this perfume and would repurchase if I didn't have like 30 opened perfume bottles already. Very fresh and beautiful scent :)

Eyes, lips & nails
Essence Lash&Brow Gel Mascara - to be honest, I didn't like this product because it didn't keep my brow hairs in place. Still in search for a good clear brow gel...
MaxFactor Masterpiece Glamour Extensions 3-in-1 Volumising mascara - MaxFactor is fast becoming my favourite brand for mascara. It gives length and volume, curls my lashes and doesn't smudge. Also, I can wash most of it off with just warm water! Definitely a keeper :)
Bourjois Intuitive Liner - this is a 3-end felt-tip liner that is great to fill in the gaps between eyelashes and also for creating a nice thin line. Unfortunately they discontinued it... I just don't understand why Bourjois did that? I'm very upset that I can't get my hands on it anymore.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in shade 95 Creme Brûlée - I didn't like the shade and formula of this lip butter and I don't feel comfortable passing lip products on to my girlfriends so it finally went to the bin :)
Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Transferproof Lip Tint in shade 120 Timeless Tango - this lip products comes in a marker form and has a clear lip balm on the other end. It really stays on for hours but it made my lips sting so I wasn't comfortable using it. Bin material again :)
Oriflame Eternal Gloss in shade ??? - this lip gloss is very sticky but at the same time it stayed on for a very long time. The stickiness was a bit too much for me, so I know I won't be wearing it.
Manhattan Long Lasting Gloss Glide in shade 56G - didn't like the formula of this one also so it was just sitting in my drawer for ages. Now it was time to get rid of it.
Carlo di Roma PURE (black) and L'Oreal Color Riche gel nail polish in 508 Amazon Flower (lighter shade) and 607 Ruf Montmartre (darker shade) - they got old and thick so it was time to throw them away.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - the fastest drying top coat I've ever used which is my holy grail nail product. Unfortunately, once I use up about half a bottle, it becomes too thick to use anymore. Still my favourite and will definitely repurchase :)

Küsimus minu Eesti lugejatele:
kui paljud teist loevad blogi eesti keeles? Kas eesti-keelne tõlge on vajalik?
Kui enamik loeb blogi nagunii inglise keeles, siis kas piisab kui lisan postituse lõppu linke, mille kaudu tooteid Eestis osta või Eestisse tellida saab?
Loomulikult, kui eesti keeles lugejaid on enamus, lisan ka edaspidi igale postitusele eestikeelse teksti.

Empties #18

Long time no see! :)

What can I say, sometimes life just happens :D

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

Hair and body

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Makeup

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for still being here :)(:

Tere üle väga pika aja!

Aitäh, et tulid blogisse tagasi :)

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

Juuksed ja keha

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Makeup

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

L'Oreal True Match Mineral Foundation

In one of my recent posts I mentioned that I am currently obsessed with mineral powder foundation.

As you can see from the picture, mine is well used and loved and I'm almost out of it :)

I am talking about L'Oreal True Match Minerals Foundation (mine is French and is called Accord Parfait Mineral which I suppose is the old packaging and in US they call it True Match Naturale Mineral Foundation).

It comes in a rather chunky pot with a brush. First of all, I don't like the included brush and never use it unless in emergency situation. It does it's job but is a bit too harsh on my skin. Also, the big pot and the messiness is not very travel friendly in my opinion.

But that's about all the negative things I have to say about the foundation :)

 

I love this mineral foundation because it's very easy and fast to apply, it has almost full coverage, doesn't cake, crease or oxidise, leaves my combination skin nice and matte for a long time, looks beautiful on the skin during the day, hasn't broken me out or irritated my skin and is unscented.

I apply it with my Sephora kabuki #50 brush and you can see on the picture below how little I need to cover all of my face and neck.

I have it in shade 4 Golden Beige which suits me just fine at the moment but I suppose I have to get a lighter shade for the winter.

Also, a big bonus is that this mineral foundation is made 95% from minerals with no perfume or preservatives and has SPF15 in it.

So, if you've tired of finding a perfect liquid foundation or just want to experiment, I suggest you check this one out because honestly, I am loving it!

Ühes hiljutises postituses rääkisin, et olen vaimustunud mineraalsest meigipõhjast ning nagu pildilt ka näha, on minu potsik peaaegu tühi ning korralikult vatti saanud :)

Tegemist on L'Oreal True Match Mineraalidega puudriga (minu eksemplar on ilmselt vanas pakendis ja prantsuse keelse nimega Accord Parfait Mineral), mis minul on toonis 4 Golden Beige.

Potsik on üsna kopsakas ja kaasas on ka puudri pealekandmiseks mõeldud pintsel. Minu jaoks on see pintsel veidi liiga kare ja ma üldiselt väldin selle kasutamist. Samuti on tolmpuudriga toimetamine ka veidi räpakas aga see on ka põhimõtteliselt kõik, mida ma saan puudri kohta negatiivset öelda :)

 

Mulle meeldib seda puudrit meigipõhjana kasutada, sest seda on mugav ja kiire peale kanda, sel on peaaegu täiskatvus, see ei kogune vagudesse ega muuda päeva jooksul värvi (ei oksüdeeru), muudab mu kombineeritud tüüpi naha matiks väga pikaks ajaks, on nahal ilus ka õhtul, pole mu nahka ärritanud ega tekitanud punne ning on lõhnatu.

Mineraalpuudri pealekandmiseks kasutan Sephora kabuki #50 pintslit ning alumisel fotol on näha kogust, millest jätkub kogu näo ja kaela katmiseks. 

Hetkel sobib toon 4 Golden Beige mulle hästi kuid kahtlustan, et talveks tuleks tooni või kahe võrra heledam puuder soetada.

Suureks plussiks antud toote juures on asjaolu, et see on 95% ulatuses looduslikest mineraalidest koosnev, ei sisalda lõhna- ega säilitusaineid ning sel on SPF15.

Seega, kui oled uue meigipõhja otsinguil või tahad lihtsalt proovida midagi uut ja teistsugust, julgen True Match Mineraalidega puudrit kindlasti soovitada, sest ma ise lausa armastan seda!

Wishlist #3: L'Oreal

We have a 30% off of all L'Oreal Paris cosmetics range in our local beauty store I.L.U. and here is the list of things I've been eyeing out lately (though I'm not sure they carry all of them yet) :)

pic from I.L.U. website

Glam Shine lipgloss in #101 Pink Moon or any other colour that looks gorgeous :)

Rouge Caresse lipsticks - because they just feel so heavenly on the lips and the one shade I have is clearly not enough :)

True Match foundation - because everybody is raving about it and I feel that in my 30s I need more coverage :)

Nude Magique CC Cream Anti-dullness or Anti-fatigue - do I need to say more? :)

Super Liner Brow Artist - I've been loving using brow pencils recently and this one that comes with a brush, seems very handy to use. I suppose my shade would be Blonde :)

Ture Match Blush in shade #115 True Rose - I love blushes and I hardly ever go out without it!

Mind tabas meeldiv üllatus kui avastasin, et I.L.U. kauplustes on kogu L'Oreal kosmeetikale -30% soodustus, mis kestab juuli lõpuni.

Mul on päris mitu L'Oreali toodet silma jäänud ning kindlasti lähen uurima, kas saan oma uudishimu ja ostlemisvajaduse kasvõi osaliselt rahuldatud :)

Hetkel on soovide nimekirjas:

Glam Shine huuleläige toonis #101 Pink Moon või ükskõik milline läige, mis silma jääb :)

Rouge Caresse huulepulgad - mul on vaid üks toon ja sellest on selgelt liiga vähe! Need on huultel tõesti hellitavad ja tahan kindlasti 1-2 tooni juurde saada:)

True Match jumestuskreem - sest kõik kiidavad seda ja mina, oma 30ndates, vajan juba veidi rohkem katvat meigipõhja :)

Nude Magique CC Cream - viimatise sooduka ajal ei ostnud ja nüüd kripeldab :)

Super Liner Brow Artist - viimase kuu jooksul olen puudrid vahetanud kulmupliiatsi vastu ja tahan puht uudishimust vaadata, mida pakutakse :)

Ture Match Blush põsepuna toonis #115 True Rose - ma olen suur põseruužide fänn ning enamasti ilma põsepunata majast ei välju :)
