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.
