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.

Nädala Meik #2 / Makeup of the Week #2

Jätkame uue sarjaga ning kohe-kohe on teie ees alanud nädala vägagi roosad valikud :)

***

Enne aga peatun põgusalt eelmise nädala muljetel:

sarja avaloo pettumuse valmistasid Avon Glimmerstick silmapliiats toonis Cosmic Brown… oli kuidagi kõva ja hajutamine ka raske, kasutasin seda vaid ühel päeval. 

Samuti ei suutnud ma nädalaga armuda paljukiidetud Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer peitekreemi. Mitte, et see oleks olnud ülimalt halb vaid et see lihtsalt ei suuda vajalikul määral mu tumesiniseid silmaaluseid peita.

Eelmise nädala hitt oli aga Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette lauvärvipalett - olen mattide lauvärvidega palju suuremaks sõbraks saanud ja see palett on nii mitmekesine, et igaks päevaks jätkus erinevaks meigiks materjali :)

***

Nüüd aga uue nädala valikud:

kõigepealt loomulikult Urban Decay Naked3 lauvärvipalett - ma olen sellega veel nii vähe mängida saanud, et ei jätkunud kannatust kauem oodata :D Peab ikka kõik toonid ära proovima :)

Silmadel proovin veel ka Oriflame Smooth Definer silmapliiatsit toonis Grey ja Oriflame Very Me Night Fever silmapliiatsit toonis Silver Glow.

Peitekreemina läheb käiku Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer toonis 04 Rose Beige.

Põsepunaks saab Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation toonis 2 ning särapuudriks Lancome Blush Subtil toonis 001 Highlighting Rose.

Huultele krabasin oma Muji sahtlitest lausa neli toodet:

Sleek Pout Polish toonis 962 Frosting, Bellaoggi huulepulgapliiatsi toonis 03 Candy Pink, Clarins Colour Quench huulepalsami toonis 17 ja Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream mati huuleläike toonis 56K.

***

Kas tahaksid mõnest tootest ka põhjalikumat arvustust lugeda?

Before I talk about my very pink picks for the week, let's see what I thought about the items I chose for last week:

my biggest disappointments were Avon Glimmerstick eyeliner in Cosmic Brown - it was just so hard on the eyes and hard to blend so I ended up using it only once. Also, the Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer still didn't impress me and didn't cover my dark blue under-eye area that well :( I will continue using it but yeah… not worth the hype IMHO.

The hit of the week was Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette  - I became quite skilled with matte eyeshadows and the palette is very versatile. Definitely worth checking out if you prefer matte shadows ;)

***

Now on to this week's picks:

first of all, of course the Urban Decay Naked3 eyeshadow palette - I haven't had the opportunity to play around enough with it yet, so let's start this week :)

As eyeliners I'll try Oriflame Smooth Definer in Grey and Oriflame Very Me Night Fever in Silver Glow.

As a concealer I'll try Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer in 04 Rose Beige.

One of my most favourite blushers (and well used, as you can see ;) ) is Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation in shade 2 and as a highlighter I'll use Lancome Blush Subtil in 001 Highlighting Rose.

For the lips I grabbed four items from my Muji storage box:

Sleek Pout Polish in 962 Frosting, Bellaoggi lipstick pencil in 03 Candy Pink, Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm 17 and Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream in 56K.

What's in my makeup bag / Meigikoti sisu

I love to read posts about the content of other people's makeup bags, so I decided to show you what I carry with me every day in my Coach makeup bag. I will probably write a post about my morning routine and products I use on daily basis in the future and that will be a huge one :)

You'll find the list of products above. My holy grail and most loved products of the bunch are L'Oreal Countour Khol  in 131 Jet Black, which is the best liner I've tried among both drugstore and high-end, L'Oreal Touche Magique Illuminating Corrector which is better than YSL Touche Eclat and also a lot cheaper and Elisabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant which I can't live without anymore :)

Loen/vaatan alati huviga postitusi, kus tutvustatakse oma meigikoti sisu, sestap arvasin, et ehk on teil huvitav näha, mida mina igapäevaselt endaga kaasas kannan. Võib-olla tuleb kunagi hiljem postitus ka selle kohta, mida ma hommikuti tavaliselt kasutan ja see on juba oluliselt mahukam ettevõtmine :)

Niisiis, kõike seda kannan ma kaasas oma väikeses Coachi meigikotis. 

1) väike peegel

2) ReNu Moisturising Comfort silmatilgad - kannan läätseid ja mõnikord kui silmad liiga kuivavad, on hea seda väikest abimeest kasutada

3) L'Oreal Blush Minerals põsepuna toonis 70 - väga ilus virsikutoon, milles väikesed kuldsed sädelused, mis teeb tulemuse kaunilt kumavaks

4) Maybelline Color Sensational huulepulk toonis 140 Intense Pink - ilus maheroosa, koostiselt üsna kuiv, seega vajab alla huulepalsamit

5) Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy toonis 4 - ma armastan nende huulepulkade koostist, see on rohkem nagu huulepalsam, samas väga hästi pigmenteeritud

6) Manhattan Tasty Lips Clear huuleläige - ei midagi erilist selles mõttes, et superläiget see ei anna ja kulub kiiresti maha kuid koostiselt kuivadele huuletoodetele pean vajalikuks seda läiget veel lisaks peale kanda

7) Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream toonis 56K - väga ilus roosa huululäige, mis jääb huultele matt. Selle peale kannan alati eelnimetatud läbipaistvat läiget

8) Travalo, mille sees on Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio

9) L'Oreal Countour Khol silmapliiats toonis 131 Jet Black - see pliiats teeb silmad ette kõikidele silmapliiatsitele, mida ma kasutanud olen

10) Oriflame Wonder Colour Lipliner toonis Perfect Pink - väljakeeratav huulepliiats, mille toon sobib nii Maybelline'i kui Manhattan'i toonidega perfektselt :)

11) L'Oreal Touche Magique Illuminating Corrector - valgustpeegeldav kreem, mida kannan silmade alla, et katta oma tumesiniseid rõngaid. Töötab väga hästi ja on kindlasti parem kui näiteks legendaarne YSL Touche Eclat valgustpeegeldav pulk, lisaks ka mitu korda soodsam

12) Elisabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant - selleta ma ilmselt enam elada ei suuda. Ainus toode, mis koheselt mu kipitavaid huuli leevendab ja ravib, olgu see põhjustatud päikesest või külmast.
