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 #17

It's always so satisfying to throw away a huge pile of empty products :)

To me it's a proof that I haven't been wasting my money and actually use up stuff I've bought :)

  

Here's the trash of past two months:

Hair and body

Batiste Dry Shampoo Cool&Crisp Fresh - I love Batiste dry shampoos and I liked this one a lot, too. It has a nice scent and did what it's supposed to do. I already purchased a new bottle, this time cherry scented one.

Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo - I have a full review on this product line HERE. I liked this shampoo and I might buy it again at some point. It's nice and very affordable :)

Avon Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent and Spicy Moroccan Delights shower gel - I go through bodywash like crazy. I liked both scents, they made me clean and didn't dry my skin out. Since Avon has offers during almost every campaign, I will repurchase some of them again since they are very affordable. (I also wrote about them HERE).

Chistaya Liniya apricot face scrub  - it's one of the most purchased face scrubs in Russia, so I thought to give it a try. But oh boy! The milt apricot seed just hurt my face so bad so after the first use I never wanted to have it near my face again. I used this as a foot scrub instead. Not going to repurchase.

Oriflame Oasis Warm Sunset hand cream - lovely gel-like hand cream that smelled really nice and absorbed very quickly. It will be a little too mild for winter but during warmer seasons it's a great cream to keep your hands soft :)

Face and makeup

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - this quickly became my holy grail product that I religiously use every day and night. I have a full review on it HERE. I could only go two days without it before I ran screaming to the nearest store to get a new bottle. This 400ml bottle lasted me for 3 months!

Max Factor Masterpiece Transform High Impact Volumising mascara - this mascara has a very unusual wand and it took me a few uses before I got used to it. I loved the mascara and would repurchase it again. Gives length and volume and I can wash most of it off with just warm water.

Lumene Natural Code Matt Makeup foundation - it was a good and affordable foundation that kept my skin matte for a long time. (I have a short review on it HERE). I might repurchase next autumn/winter when I want a little more coverage :)

Oriflame Giordani Gold Mineral Therapy foundation - it was an okay foundation to use on days when I felt that my skin was a bit dryer and I didn't want to use a mattifying foundation. (You can read a bit more about it HERE).

Real Techinques Miracle Complexion Sponge - it was my first Beauty Blender type of makeup sponge I've ever tried. I liked this sponge a lot but the only thing I didn't like was that pretty soon after few washes it started to shed and now it has scratches and holes all over it which is why I'm not using it anymore. But it was still a good affordable tool. (First impression of it are HERE).

Clarins Daily Energizer Cream-Gel sample - this little sample lasted me for about a week and after that I went to a local makeup store with the intention to buy a full size product. I didn't at the time because it was a bit pricey but I'll try to find a good deal online. Very nice and light moisturizer, especially suitable for warmer weather :)

:)(:

Suur hulk potsikuid on minu suureks heameeleks jälle tühjaks saanud :)

Juuksed ja keha

Batiste Cool & Crisp Fresh kuivšampoon - ma ei tea, mitmes Batiste kuivšampoon see mu elus on ja uuski juba soetatud. Lemmikbränd, mille iga šampoon teeb oma tööd hästi. Lõhnas ka mõnusalt :)

Dove Oxygen Moisture šampoon - kirjutasin pikema arvustuse selle sarja kohta SIIN. Šampoon oli täitsa asjalik ja meeldis mulle. Võimalik, et ostan tulevikus uuesti :)

Avon Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent ja Spicy Moroccan Delights dušigeelid - mul kulub dušigeele millegipärast väga palju... :D Mõlemad lõhnasid hästi, pesid naha puhtaks ega kuivatanud seda. Kuna peaaegu igas Avoni kataloogis on dušigeelidele eripakkumine, siis soodsa hinnaga soetan neid ka tulevikus.

Chistaya Liniya aprokoosikiviga näokoorija - väidetavalt enimostetud näokoorija Venemaal. Ma ei tea, millise näonahaga daamid Venemaal elavad kuid pärast esimest kasutuskorda mina sellega oma näole enam ei lähenenud. Koorivad aprikoosikivi tükikesed tegid lausa haiget. Edaspidi kasutasin seda hoopis jalakoorijana ja selleks sobis see hästi. Rohkem, loomulikult, osta ei kavatse.

Oriflame Oasis Warm Sunset kätekreem - kerge geeljas kätekreem, mis lõhnas mõnusalt ja imendus kiiresti. Pigem sobilik soojematel aastaaegadel kasutamiseks.

Nägu ja meik

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water mitsellaarvesi - minu jaoks täiesti asendamatu toode. Suutsin kasutada teist meigieemaldusvahendit kaks päeva ning siis jooksin juuste lehvides esimesse poodi, kust selle suure pudeli jälle koju tõin. Veidi põhjalikuma arvustuse kirjutasin sellest SIIN. 400ml suurusest pudelist jätkus mulle kolmeks kuuks.

Max Factor Masterpiece Transform High Impact Volumising Mascara ripsmetušš - selle tuši sain kingiks Moekuulutaja tiimilt :) Selle tuši hari on veidi ebatavalise kujuga ja sellega harjumine võttis paar päeva aega. Tegemist on väga hea tušiga, mis andis nii pikkust kui volüümi. Ostaksin uuesti kui poleks juba järgmist MF tušši kingituseks saanud :)

 Lumene Natural Code Matt Makeup jumestuskreem - soodsa hinnaga väga hea matistav jumestuskreem. Külmemal hooajal võib uuesti soetamist täitsa kaaluda :)

Natuke rohkem kirjutasin sellest SIIN.

Oriflame Giordani Gold Mineral Therapy jumestuskreem - täitsa okei jumestuskreem, mida kandsin siis kui nahk tundus veidi kuivem ja soovisin kergemat katvust. Mingit suurt vau-efekti ei tekkinud aga halb see ka polnud. Kirjutasin ka sellest jumestuskreemist veidi rohkem SIIN.

Real Techinques Miracle Complexion Sponge meigikäsn - see käsn oli esimene kuulsa Beauty Blenderi taoline, mida ma kasutasin. See tegi oma tööd hästi kuid pärast paari pesu hakkas sellest pisikesi osi lahti tulema ja selle sisse tekkisid justkui "haavad". Seetõttu otsustasin selle nüüd ka minema visata, sest ka pildilt on näha, et ta on juba üsna õnnetus seisus.

Kirjutasin oma esmamuljetest SIIN.

Clarins Daily Energizer Cream-Gel tester - sellest testrist jagus mulle umbes nädalaks ning pärast seda seadsin sammud poodi, et täissuuruses toode osta. Jätsin selle siiski sel korral üsna kopsaka hinna (veidi alla 30€) tõttu ostmata kuid kindlasti katsun netist leida paremat pakkumist, sest see kerge ja kiiresti imenduv kreem meeldiks mulle soojemal aastaajal kindlasti.

What I need to get out the door / Morning makeup routine

One morning I started to wonder how many products I actually use to get out the door on a usual weekday. I started counting the products and steps and wow! There's actually 14 products on a busy weekday that I use to get out the door in 15 minutes :)

And that's only makeup :D

So, if you're interested in what I pack on my face, keep on reading :)

1. First off, I cleanse my face with Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (review here) to remove all that's on my face. Then I apply Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealiser. I love this eye cream because it moisturises well, absorbs fast and doesn't interfere with my makeup. As a face moisturiser I use Hydraluron that also absorbs within seconds so that I can quickly move on to applying my makeup.

2. Before applying any of my makeup, I have recently been reaching for Oriflame Conceal Kit and I use the peachy concealer lightly in the darkest areas under my eyes. Then I apply Lumene Skin Perfector Matt Makeup foundation. To cover and highlight my under-eye area I use Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer that has fast become my holy grail product. It has full coverage and stays on for ages without creasing almost at all. To set my under-eyes and t-zone, I use Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder in Translucent Crystal. This power is AMAZING!!!! It is so finely mild that you can't see it at all. It keeps my makeup and especially concealer from creasing and it also stays on for ages making my skin silky smooth. As an eyeshadow primer I use my beloved Avon Eye Shadow Primer that keeps my eyeshadow in place for ages and applying it doesn't tug on my eyelids.

3. Then I move on to blush and highlighter. I have been obsessed with Sleek Blush by 3 in shade Pink Lemonade and especially the cream blusher in the middle. The lasting power of it is also amazing. For highlighting I use Lancome Blush Subtil in shade 004 Highlighting Beige. It gives my face such a nice glow without being glittery or looking greasy.

4. For my brows I use a very affordable Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in shade 040 Don't Let Me Brow'n. It's the perfect cool-toned taupe brown pencil that matches my natural hair colour. Plus it has a brush on the other end. I don't think I will replace this one any time soon :)
I've been reaching most for my e.l.f. Prism Eyshadow palette in Naked or Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette recently. The BB palette is on the right side on the photo and I use the third shade from the top to blend out any eyeshadow I wear.
For mascara I use Max Factor Masterpiece Transform at the moment.

I didn't include any lipsticks in this post because my everyday makeup is very neutral so I usually use 2-3 different lipsticks during the day :)

Is it too much compared to the amount of products you use every morning? Or maybe too little?
Let me know in the comments below :)

Hakkasin ühel hommikul kokku lugema mitut toodet ma kasutan tavalisel tööpäeval selleks, et uksest välja minna.
Kokku sai 14 toodet ja kõigi nende pealekandmiseks kulub mul umbes 15 minutit.

1. Kõigepealt kasutan Garnier mitselaarvett, millega eemaldan öö jooksul näole kogunenu. Seejärel kannan silmade alla Vichy Idealia Eye Contour Idealizer silmakreemi. See imendub väga kiirelt ja sobib ülihästi meigi alla. Seejärel kasutan naha niisutamiseks Hydraluron geeli, mis samuti imendub sekunditega, nii et saa pea kohe liikuda jumestuskreemini.

2. Viimasel ajal olen enne muu meigipõhjaga alustamist hakanud kasutama Oriflame Conceal Kit'ist virsikukarva tooni, et katta kõige tumedamad osad silmade all ja ümbruses (selgelt annab stressirohke tööperiood tunda). Seejärel kannan näole Lumene Skin Perfector Matt Makeup jumestuskreemi. Järgmisena võtan ette Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer peitekreemi, mille abil katan ja helendan silmaaluseid ja muid näo piirkondi. See peitekreem sai väga kiirelt minu absoluutseks lemmikuks, sest see katab ülihästi, ei kogune kortsudesse ja püsib väga pikka aega.
Et kogu see krempel kinnitada, kasutan Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder puudrit toonis Translucent Crystal. See on nii peene koostisega, et seda pole näol näha ning nahk on katsudes siidine ja pehme.
Lauvärvi aluskreemina kasutan oma armastatud Avon Eye Shadow Primer'it, mis hoiab lauvärvi paigal hiliste õhtutundideni ja seda peale kandes ei pea ma oma laugusid tirima.

3. Põsepunana kasutan Sleek Blush by 3 palett toonis Pink Lemonade ja enamasti keskmist kreemjast ruuži. Seegi püsib peal terve päeva. Särapuudrina kasutan Lancome Blush Subtil toonis 004 Highlighting Beige, mis annab nahale kauni kuma ega ole seejuures sädelev.

4. Silmameigis olen viimasel ajal haaranud kõige tihedamini e.l.f. Prism Eyeshadow või Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette lauvärvipalettide järele. BB paletist (pildil paremal) ülevalt kolmandat tooni kasutan alati ükskõik, millise lauvärvi hajutamiseks.
Kulmud korrigeerin Catrice Eye Brow Stylist kulmupliiatsi abiga toonis 040 Don't Let Me Brow'n. Selle külm pruun toon sobib ideaalselt minu loomuliku juuksetooniga.
Ripsetušina kasutan Max Factor Masterpiece Transform'i.

Huulepulki ma pildile ei lisanud, kuna mu igapäevane meik on enamasti neutraalne ning päeva jooksul kasutan 2-3 erinevat huuletoodet/tooni.

Kas seda on palju või vähe võrreldes sellega, mida sina igapäevaselt kasutad?

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 #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 :)

Lipstick Addict Tag

It's no news that my softest spot in makeup are lipsticks and lipgloss.

I always always wear something on my lips and sometimes get even some weird looks when I randomly grab a lipstick out and put some on without a mirror :D

So, when I saw a bunch of people on youtube making Lipstick Addict Tag videos I wanted to list my favourites, too!

I've already shown you my collection. Today I have 60 items and got rid of 4 while preparing this post :)

TAG questions:

1. Favourite balm/treatment? It has always been Elisabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant. I cannot live without it! It heals my lips within hours from every kind of trouble - cold, sun, cracks...whatever! It's magic and I will always have it with me :)

2. Best eye-catching red? I don't wear red lipstick because I just haven't found the shade that would suit my colouring (I'm more olive skinned). Hence I only have a few reddish lipsticks and my favourite is this oldie but goldie Estee Lauder Signature in shade 06 Lush Rose. It's cool-toned fuchsia red and suits me quite okay. Plus it looks almost red on my lips :D

3. Best luxury and best drugstore? I would say my most favourite luxury brand is Yves Saint Laurent. I love every formula, aswell as every shade of lipstick and lipgloss I have. I swatched (from top to bottom) Rouge Pur in 146 and 138 and Rouge Volupte in shade 26. 

I've also found that I love most of the L'Oreal lip products, too. Especially the new Color Riche L'Extraordinaire lip laquer in 201 Rose Symphony and their Caresse lipsticks which I have in shade 102 Mauve Cherie.

4. Best MAC lipstick? Since I haven't tried nor own any MAC lipsticks I'll show you my most favourite lipstick of all time. It suits me that well that absolutely every time I wear it, I get compliments. It's Maybelline ColorSensational in shade 910 Shocking Coral. Unfortunately it was limited edition and now I can wear it only on special occasions because I have only a tiny bit left :(

5. The most disappointing? I must say it's Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter. I had such high hopes for it and was extra excited when I finally got it because we don't have Revlon in Estonia, only to find it being quite an average product...

6. Lip liner - yes or no? Usually no. Only if I'm wearing red or darker colours or when I need my lipstick stay put for like 6 hours. But on a daily basis - never :D

7. Best gloss? I have three because I just couldn't choose. First - Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. They have amazing colour range, they smell and taste yummy and they truly deserve the name Perfector because they make your lips look fabulous. I swatched shade 05. 

Next one (swatch in the middle) is MaxFactor lipgloss in shade 35 Lovely Candy. It's beautiful and glossy on it's own and you can wear it under or on top of every colour because it suits everything :) And on the bottom is Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in shade 042 Bellini and I just love, love, love the formula. Perfect lipgloss :)

8. Something extra! This is just a tip for you - get a look at some really cheap brands once in a while, too. Those that you've maybe never even heard about. You might find some awesome products there just like I've discovered lovely and very affordable products from brands like Bellaoggi and BYS recently. 

And of course Sleek! I love Sleek! I believe I could solely survive only on Sleek makeup if I had to choose just one brand :)

Hope you liked the tag and if you decide to do one yourself, please leave a link in the comments. I'd love to see your favourites and discover new lip products :)

Eestikeelse teksti lisan veidi hiljem :)

Current favourites... / Hetke lemmikud...

Eestikeelne tekst on allpool

I've been reaching for the same products all the time recently so why not list them all so that maybe you could find something nice to try out for yourself :)

Hair

I recently cut my hair and have a nice layered bob now. Since my hair is very heavy, I am always looking for products that give a LOT of volume.

Now that my hair is shorter, I find that the Shu Uemura Ample Angora Volumizing Light Foam really does lift my roots and gives quite some volume. I apply it on towel-dry hair, concentrating on the roots and blow-dry my hair. When my hair was longer and didn't have layers in, I felt this product didn't have enough power to lift my heavy hair, so that's what you might want to consider. But right now I'm loving and rocking it :)

I use Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume not as a dry shampoo actually :) I spray it in my hair after I've styled and flat-ironed it and it really gives my hair a lot of volume. It looses some of it's hold during the day but running a comb of fingers through my hair, livens it up again, so no need for carrying it around with me :) Plus it keeps my hair fresh on the second day, too ;)

Lips

I forgot to include my MaxFactor lipgloss in shade 35 Lovely Candy in my last Gifts and haul post but it actually was also a gift from the Moekuulutaja team. It's very light milky pink colour that's very glossy. It's not sticky, stays on quite some time, wears off nicely and makes my lips look a lot fuller. 

I wear it on it's own a lot but I love to pair it with Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer in shade 102 Nova. I put MaxFactor under and Rimmel on top of it and this combo looks just so lovely and vibrant and very suitable for spring. I actually use this trick a lot - I put a light gloss under a lipstick and that gives me fuller lips, a nice gloss and the colour is not so heavy. Perfect for daytime and for school/work :)

Makeup

I've rediscovered my Inglot Multicolour System Highlighting powder in shade 85 recently. It gives my face a subtle but really nice glow that's not overpowering. Been loving that as a highlighter a lot lately and been wearing it every day :) (I wrote about it a while ago here)

I totally adore Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadows and I recently got two more colours as a gift. I've been using the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in shade 25 Slate very often. Especially when I'm in a hurry. I don't need a primer with it and it works perfect either as a base or on it's own. It doesn't crease and stays on whole day.

A product I almost forgot about and which I took out from my drawer lately is Giorgio Armani single eyeshadow in shade 66. It a nice matte mauve pink colour that is suitable for daytime. I apply it all over the lid and use a matte brown in the outer v. Wearing it just on it's own makes me look a bit like I've been crying but paired with some darker shade, it's my every day go-to look lately :)

Last but not least - I've been loving my Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in shade Mushroom with both of the eyeshadows mentioned above. As you can see on the swatch, it goes with both of them perfectly. It stays put all day and it might even be waterproof :) It's very soft to apply and hasn't irritated my eyes :)

Have you tried any of these products?

:)(:

Viimasel ajal haarab mu käsi pidevalt samade toodete järgi, mis annab põhjust neist lähemalt pajatada :)

Juuksed

Lõikasin hiljuti oma juuksed lühemaks ja järku. Mu juuksed on väga rasked ja kui need õige pisut pikemaks kasvavad, hoiavad need väga peadligi, sestap olen pidevalt juuksejuuri tõstvate ja kohevust andvate toodete otsinguil.

Nüüd kus mu juuksed on veidi lühemad ja kergemad tõstab Shu Uemura Ample Angora Volumizing Light Foam juuksevaht mu juuksejuuri päris korralikult ja annab mõnusalt kohevust juurde.  Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume kuivšampooni kasutan ma tegelikult puhastel juustel pärast seda kui olen juukseid sirgendanud, et neile veelgi rohkem kohevust anda. Ja kohevust saab selle tootega väga palju! Päeva jooksul vajub see küll veidi ära aga kui kammi või sõrmedega juuksejuuri sasida, ärkavad need taas ellu. Lisaks on järgmisel päeval juuksed ikka veel puhtad :)

Huuled

Unustasin oma viimasele Kinkide ja ostude postitusele lisada Moekuulutaja tiimilt saadud MaxFactor huuleläike toonis 35 Lovely Candy. See on väga läikiv piimjas heleroosa huuleläige, mis püsib päris kaua peal, kulub ühtlaselt maha ja muudab mu huuled palju lopsakamaks. Kannan seda nii üksikult kui ka taasavastatud Rimmel Apocalips huulelakiga toonis 102 Nova. Ma kannan huuletele kõigepealt MaxFactorit ja siis selle peale Rimmeli huulelaki ning tulemuseks on ilus kumav ja elav toon, mis on ideaalne kevadsuvisel hooajal.

Makeup

Absoluutselt iga päev viimase kuu või kahe jooksul olen highlighter'ina kandnud Inglot Multicolour System Highlighting powder puudrit toonis 85. See annab mu näole väga ilusa kuma, mis on piisavalt tagasihoidlik, et ma ei näe välja nagu diskopall.

Kui mul on kiire või kui ma lihtsalt ei jaksa väga pikalt oma meigile aega kulutada, kasutan imelist Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow kreemlauvärvi toonis 25 Slate. See sobib nii lauvärvina kui aluskreemina kasutamiseks ning püsib peal kogu pika päeva.

Olin ära unustanud kuid nüüd võtsin jälle kasutusse oma vana lemmiku Giorgio Armani lauvärvi toonis 66. See on matt vanaroosa toon, mida kasutan koos mati pruuniga silma välisnurgas. Kui ma seda lauvärvi ainult üksinda kannan, jääb mulje nagu oleksin nutnud :D Seega tuleb sellele lauvärvile kindlasti tumedama tooniga sügavust juurde anda :)

Hetke lemmik silmapliiats on Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil toonis Mushroom. See sobib ideaalselt mõlema ülelmainitud lauvärviga, see on vaat' et veekindel, püsib peal terve pika päeva ning on piisavalt pehme, et ei ärrita mu silmi.

Seekord siis niimoodi :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?

:)(:

Kingid ja ostud... / Gifts and haul...

Viimasest ostude postitusest on juba üksjagu aega möödas ning tahan kiirelt, enne kui vahepeal minuni jõudnud tooted tühjade potsikute postituses lõpetavad, neid ka sulle näidata :)

Alustame kronoloogilises järjekorras… Moekuulutaja tiim saatis mulle armsa kingituse, milles sel korral imearmas pisike meigikott, MaxFactor Smoky Eye Effect kahe otsaga kreemlauvärvi pulk toonis Bronze Haze (sellega saab ülikiirelt ja lihtsalt ilusa kerge päevameigi või ka õhtuks sobiva suitsusilma luua) ning mitu Wella juuksehooldusvahendite sämplit. Mulle väga meeldivad minisuuruses tootenäidised, mida on hea lühematele väljasõitudele kaasa haarata :)

Oma armsalt õelt sain Make Up For Ever mati päikesepuudri toonis 30, Diorshow ripsmetušši, Revlon Colorstay kauapüsiva küünelaki toonis 110 Marmalade (kibelen neid juba proovima), veel kaks imelist Bobbi Brown kreemlauvärvi toonides 25 Slate ja 35 Shore (minu BB kreemlauvärvide kohta tuleb eraldi postitus, sest need on seda vägagi väärt) ning legendaarsed Urban Decay 24/7 silmapliiatsid toonides Mushroom ja Zero.

Kuna järjekordselt said mu näopuhastusvahendid üleöö otsa, krabasin Selkust Lumene Radiant Touch värskendava puhastuskreemi normaalsele ja segatüüpi nahale. Mõned korrad olen seda kasutanud ja pole leidnud veel midagi, mida ette heita. Nagu enamike Lumene toodete puhul ikka :) Hind oli umbes 6 €. Kevadsuvisel perioodil tunnen ma suuremat vajadust toonikute järele ning kuna Nivea uudistoode 3in1 mitsellaarvesi oli soodushinnaga, kahmasin ka selle riiulilt korvi. Esialgu tundub olevat päris hea toode. Soodukalt sain selle alla 4€ eest.

Oriflame'ist tellisin viimati Perfect Fusion jumestuskreemi toonis Ivory (täishind 10,99€). Toon sobib mulle hetkel ideaalselt, see on niisutav ja üldiselt täitsa okei toode. Katvus on pigem kerge kuni keskmine, see on peaaegu lõhnatu ning pole tekitanud punnikesi ega ärritust, lisaks sisaldab SPF 25. Küll aga hakkab see mu kombineeritud nahal juba poole päeva pealt läikima, mistõttu ma pole selle suurim fänn. Samas kasutan parema puudumisel seda jumestuskreemi päris heal meelel edasi, lihtsalt pean oma rutiini lisama puudri või blotting-paberid :)

Ma olen Oriflame kreemlauvärvide väga suur fänn ja kui nad tulid välja Matte Velvet sarjaga, tellisin endale kohe ühe toonis Nude Mud. See ongi sõna otses mõttes mudakarva lauvärv :) Päris omaette jääb see ehk veidi tuimaks, seega katan seda mõne sillerdava lauvärviga või lisan silma välisnurka paar tooni tumedamat lauvärvi. Püsivus on super ja pealekandmine imelihtne.

Viimane soetatud toode on L'Oreal lauvärvikvartett toonis E4 Marron Glace. Minu kõige lemmikumad toonid on ühte karpi kokku pandud ning selle ühe paletiga on võimalik luua lugematu arv imeilusaid silmameike. Fantastiline! Hind jääb 11-12€ kanti.

I'm a proud owner of quite a lot of wonderful beauty items since my last haul post :)

I got a lovely present from Moekuulutaja team - an adorable little makeup bag, some Wella haircare samples which I find really convenient to take on small trips and the product I love the most from the bunch - MaxFactor Smoky Eye Effect double-ended cream eyeshadow stick in Bronze Haze which is perfect both for a subtle daytime or a smoky evening eye makeup :)

My awesome sister sent me a pile of amazing products - Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze bronzing powder in shade 30, Diorshow mascara, Revlon Colorstay long wear nail polish in 110 Marmalade (can't wait to try them all), two wonderful Bobbi Brown long-wear cream shadows in shades 25 Slate and 35 Shore (there will be a separate blog post on these because they are just ah-mazing) and two Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencils in Mushroom and Zero.

As always, my makeup removers got empty over night so I had to quickly grab something to remove my makeup - I decided to try Lumene Radiant Touch Refreshing Foam Cleanser for normal/combination skin. It hasn't disappointed me yet as Lumene products usually never do. Nivea came out with a new 3in1 Micellar Cleansing Water which is also quite nice.

Since I ran out of all the foundations that matched my winter bluish complexion I ordered Oriflame Perfect Fusion foundation in shade Ivory that matches me perfectly at the moment. It's moisturising, has light to medium coverage, is almost scent-free, has SPF 25 in it and hasn't broken me out. But my combination skin gets all shiny in the middle of the day so I can't say that this one is a must. Will use it anyway, though.. just need to powder or blot :)

I looooove Oriflame cream shadows so when they came out with Matte Velvet eyeshadows, I just had to try it. I got shade Nude Mud and it truly is a mud colour. I feel I need to put something over it or darken the outer corner of my eyes and then it is just perfect! :)

My most worn eyeshadow at the moment is L'Oreal eyeshadow quad in E4 Marron Glace. It has some of the loveliest taupe and brown shades to create countless gorgeous eye makeup looks. I definitely suggest you check it out ;)

Empties #9

Time for yet another huge empties post :)

Hair and hands

Batiste Cool & Crisp Fresh dry shampoo - honestly, I'm becoming tired of Batiste dry shampoos. My hair is so sticky after using it and the freshness lasts quite shortly. It did smell fresh but even the scent became annoying after a while.  What I do love about Batiste dry shampoos is that you get the appearance of fresh hair immediately and they give quite a lot of volume. Nevertheless, I guess I will explore some new brands for a while now :)

Oriflame Coctails & the City Party Queen hand cream - light and gel-like hand cream that smells just divine! It absorbs quickly, moisturises quite well and doesn't leave my hands greasy or sticky. More suitable for warmer weather :)

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat - my absolute favourite! Though there is a bit of it left in the pot, it became more like jelly in the end. So, time for the bin :D

Face

Vichy Purete Thermale 3in1 micellar solution - it's just awesome!!!! It removes traces of makeup, is refreshing and doesn't leave my skin sticky at all. It's suitable for sensitive skin and doesn't irritate my eyes even if I scrub my eyeballs with it (believe me, I did it :D ). Will definitely repurchase!

Dado Sens PurDerm normalising face cream  - I was quite happy with it until I found a cream that helped better with my problematic and acne-prone skin. But it also kept my face from getting worse.

JOIK facial toner with sea buckthorn oil and aloe - I really liked this product! It was nourishing and at the same time refreshing. My skin felt clean and fresh. I would not use it in the eye area though. It's more suitable for autumn/winter season and that's why I never used it after last summer. Now it's gone bad and it's time to send it to the bin :) Would definitely repurchase next winter. 

JOIK Gentle eye make-up remover - you honestly need 2 drops to remove heavy makeup! It works wonders! When I accidentally dropped more than 2 drops on a cotton round it kinda irritated my eyes a bit. So I suggest you only use the tiniest amount. Very good product! 

Makeup

Yves Saint Laurent Teint Radiance foundation - it gives such a lovely glow! It has SPF 20 in it, is amazingly easy to blend and has light to medium coverage. Suitable for dry to normal skin. Ladies with combination to oily skin may have to use powder to set it or definitely blotting paper and/or powder to touch-up after lunch! Loved it but it wasn't as perfect as my beloved Lancome foundation ;)  

MaxPactor Masterpiece Max mascara - seems that I found a very strong competitor to my beloved L'Oreal mascaras. It doesn't give much volume but it curls my lashes so that I don't even have to use a curler! Also it doesn't smudge during the day and most of it comes off with just warm water.

Wet'n'Wild E335 Silent Treatment eyeshadow trio - I bought it mostly because of the bottom taupe shade. Honestly, it's one of the prettiest shades of taupe I've tried. Since it's so soft, you definitely need to tap off the excess from your brush. Also because of the softness, if you press your brush too heavily into the shadow a large pieces will break off. It is really easy to blend and will stay put for at least 15h with a primer. I also liked to top browbone colour but since I have way too many eyeshadows there's no point in keeping it.

Avon Glimmerstick eyeliner in Blackest Black - very good, soft and indeed deep black liner that stayed on my waterline for quite some time. I was actually quite sad that it's gone now :)

Oriflame Eye Liner Stylo felt-tip eyeliner - for those who are practicing to create a perfect liner, this is a very handy tool! It's the third in a row for me and that says a lot about it. I definitely suggest you check it out :)

Thank you for reading and have a lovely spring :)

Aeg jälle viimastel kuudel tühjaks saanud potsikud viimsele teekonnale saata :)

Juuksed ja käed

Batiste Cool & Crisp Fresh kuivšampoon - ma hakkan ausaltöeldes Batiste' toodetest väsima. Juuksed jäävad kuidagi jube kleepuvad ja värskuse efekt kestab vaid lühiajaliselt. Lõhn oli sel tõesti värske ja mõnus aga jäi pikaks ajaks juustele ning mind hakkas see lõpuks väsitama. Mis on aga Batiste kuivšampoonide puhul pluss, siis kohene puhaste juuste efekt ning kohevus on silmaga nähtav. Siiski arvan, et uurin nüüd veidi ka mõne teise brändi kuivšampoone.

Oriflame Coctails & the City Party Queen kätekreem - kerge ja geelja koostisega kreem, millel on lihtsalt nii-nii mõnus lõhn! See on justkui magus ja tummine aga samas ka värske. Niisutas ka piisavalt ja ei jätnud käsi kleepuvaks. Sobib siiski pigem muul ajal kui talvise pakasega kasutamiseks. :)

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat kiirkuivatav pealislakk - minu lemmik! Kuigi pudelis on veel üksjagu toodet, muutus see juba liiga kisselli-taoliseks ning kuna mul on sahtlis veel 3 kiirkuivatavat toodet, pole kahju seda põhja ka prügikasti suunata :)

Nägu

Vichy Purete Thermale 3in1 mitsellaarvesi - see on lihtsalt niiiiiiiiii hea!!!! Eemaldab meigijäägid, värskendab ega jäta näole kleepuvat kihti. Lisaks sobib ka tundlikule nahale ning isegi silmamune sellega hõõrudes ei teki ärritust (proovisin…ausõna). Sel tootel on ainult üks miinus - Eestis maksab 200ml pudel ligi 20 eurot.

Dado Sens PurDerm normaliseeriv näokreem - ka seda toodet on veel veidi tuubi põhja jäänud, sest leidsin lõpupoole enda probleemsele ja aknelisele nahale parema hooldusvahendi. Sinnamaani aga rahuldas see mind päris hästi kuigi mingit kiireloomulist efekti probleemse nahaga võitlemisel ma ei näinud, samas hoidis see siiski naha olukorda hullemaks minemise eest.

JOIK toniseeriv näovesi astelpajuõli ja aaloega - mulle väga meeldis see toode! See oli toitev ja samas värskendav. Nahk oli puhas ja värske. Siiski soovitan sellega silmade ümbrusesse mitte läheneda ;) Minu arvates sobib see pigem sügis-talvisel ajal kasutamiseks, mistõttu väike osa mul seisma jäigi. Nüüd aga on see juba veidi riknenud, mida on ka pudelile vaadates näha. Sellegipoolest on tegemist hea tootega, nii et järgmisel külmahooajal ostan seda ehk veelgi :)

JOIK Õrn silmameigi eemaldaja - see on nii tõhus, et piisab sõna otses mõttes 2 tilgast, et lihtsalt eemaldada tugev õhtumeik. Kui ma vatitupsule rohkem kui kaks tilka doseerisin, tekitas see mu tundlikele silmadele väikest ärritust. Seega, kui seda kasutada imevähe, on see lihtsalt super toode!

Makeup

Yves Saint Laurent Teint Radiance jumestuskreem - mõnus kumava efektiga jumestuskreem, mis sisaldab SPF 20. Seda on väga kerge hajutada ning selle katvus on kerge kuni keskmine. Kindlasti sobib nii kuivale kui normaalsele nahale. Kombineeritud ja rasuse nahaga daamid peaksid seda puudriga kinnitama või siis päeva teises pooles kindlasti puudriga üle käima. Kasutasin seda jumestuskreemi rõõmuga ja kumasin kelmikalt ;) Siiski ei teinud see silmi ette minu kõige lemmikumale Lancome jumestuskreemile.

MaxPactor Masterpiece Max ripsmetušš - tundub, et minu lemmikutele brändilt L'Oreal on tekkinud täiesti arvestatav konkurent. See ei anna küll ülemäära palju lopsakust kuid selle suur pluss on see, et ma ei vaja ripsmekoolutajat. Selle töö teeb tušš ülimalt efektiivselt ise ära. Väga hea toode, mis ei lähe tükki, ei kleebi ripsmeid kokku, ei määri ja millest suurema osa saab sooja veega maha pesta!

Wet'n'Wild E335 Silent Treatment lauvärvi trio - ostsin selle just alumise taupe tooni tõttu! See on tõepoolest üks ilusamaid seda tooni lauvärve. Seda on imelihtne hajutada ja aluskreemiga püsib see peal 15h vähemalt! Kuna see on oma koostiselt väga pehme, siis pudiseb seda üksjagu ka silmade alla (kindlasti soovitan üleliigse värvi pintslilt koputades eemaldada) ja kui lauvärvile liiga tugevalt pintsliga vajutada, tulevad päris suured tükid lahti. Mulle meeldis ka paleti ülemine nahatooni lauvärv kuid kuna mul on lauvärve nüüdseks vist juba üle 100, siis pole mõtet ühesuguseid toone alles hoida. Lisaks ei meeldi mulle pakendid, mis on juba määrdunud ;)

Avon Glimmerstick silmapliiats toonis Blackest Black - väga hea, pehme ja ülimust pliiats! See püsis ka veejoonel päris pikka aega. Mul oli isegi täitsa kurb, et see otsa sai :)

Oriflame Eye Liner Stylo silmalainer - väga mugav vildikaotsaga lainer, mis sobib kindlasti esimeseks laineriks neiule, kes alles õpib perfektset lainerijoont joonistama. Mul oli see järjekorras juba kolmas ning olen ka sõbrannadelt kuulnud, et millegi muuga nad hakkama ei saa kui sellega. Kindlasti soovitan!

Aitäh, et sa selle pika jutu lõpuni jõudsid lugeda! Ilusat kevadet sulle :)

Uus sari: Nädala Meik #1 / New series: Makeup of the Week #1

Otsustasin sel aastal kasutada KÕIKI oma meigitooteid, mille tarbeks mõtlesin välja uue sarja - nädala meik! Valin iga nädala alguses välja tooted, mida terve nädala jooksul kasutan ja katsun igal nädalal uue komplekti kokku panna. Vaatame siis koos, mitmeks nädalaks mul unikaalseid komplekte kokku tuleb :)

Mina olen igatahes väga põnevil :)

Kõigepealt mainin ära tooted, mida ma nagunii kasutan. Lihtsalt on asjad, mida ma ei kipu pidevalt avama ehk et kasutan kõigepealt lõpuni ja siis võtan sahtlist järgmise :)

Püsivad tooted, mida ma enne ei vaheta kui need empties postituses kajastuvad on:

Lancome Teint Renergie Lift toonis 010 jumestuskreemina, Avon lauvärvi aluskreem toonis Light Beige, Oriflame Eyebrow Kit kulmude korrastamiseks, MaxFactor Masterpiece Max ripsmetušš ja Avon Glimmerstick silmapliiats toonis Blackest Black.

Nüüs siis selle nädala väljakutse! 

Miks ma ütlen väljakutse? Sest ma pole veel mattide lauvärvidega päris sinasõbraks saanud. Nüüd panen end proovile ja kasutan terve nädala paletti, millesse armusin sekundil kui seda uudiskirjas nägin - Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette, miles on vaid kaks sädelevat tooni! Siiski loodan, et paletis peituvad 7 tooni annavad mulle võimaluse igal nädalapäeval erinevaid look'e katsetada :)

Põsepunana kasutan oma vana (ja ta on tõesti olnud minu aastatepikkune hea sõber, mida on näha ka pakendist ;) ) Lancome Blush Subtil ruuži, mille tagumine osa on nii kulunud, et ei oska isegi tooni nime öelda. Ilus korallroosa, milles kuldsed kumavad osakesed.

Highlighter'ina, mida just talvel leian end tihemini kasutamas, läheb käiku Lancome Blush Subtil toonis 004 Highlighting Beige.

Tumesiniste silmaaluste peitmiseks kasutan Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer peitekreemi toonis 2 Light. Seni pole see mulle erilist muljet avaldanud, vaatame, mida see nädal toob :) 

Silmapliiatsitena lähevad käiku Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner toonis Golden Fawn ja Avon Glimmerstick toonis Cosmic Brown.

Kuna üldine meik kipub sel nädalal tulema pigem maalähedane ja naturaalne, otsustasin huultega veidi rohkem mängida. Esimese nädala valituteks osutusid: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brilliance huuleläige toonis 15, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine toonis 54 Boy ja Dior Addict Lipstick toonis 530 Bobo.

So, this year I decided to use all of the makeup I own and I came up with the idea to pick up products I'm going to use each week. Let's see how many unique sets I'll come up with :)

I'm actually really excited :D

On the first picture are my basics that I'm not going to change before they are empty. 

So, my basic products are:

Lancome Teint Renergie Lift foundation in shade 010, Avon eyeshadow primer in Light Beige, Oriflame Eyebrow Kit, MaxFactor Masterpiece Max mascara and Avon Glimmerstick in Blackest Black.

My this week's biggest challenge is to learn how to make matte eyeshadows work so I will use Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate Eye Palette that has only two sparkly eyeshadows in it!

As a blush I'm going to use my old friend Lancome Blush Subtil which shade number has rubbed off. As you see, I've been loving this coral with gold flecks in it ;) 

As a highlighter (which I feel the need to use especially during winter) I'll use Lancome Blush Subtil in 004 Highlighting Beige.

For covering my dark under-eye circles I'm going to use Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer in shade 2 Light. I'm not a fan of this product yet and I hope my opinion will change after using it for a week :) 

As eyeliner I'm going to use Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliner in Golden Fawn and Avon Glimmerstick in Cosmic Brown.

And because my makeup will be quite natural this week, I picked up some playful lipcolours: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Brilliance Sparkling Touch For Lips in shade 15, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in 54 Boy and Dior Addict Lipstick in 530 Bobo.

Nädalavahetuse reisimeik / What's in my weekend travel makeup bag?

Viimasel ajal on olnud mitmeid kordi vajadus kaasa võtta vaid hädavajalik meigiarsenal. Ma ei armasta ülepakkimist, mistõttu on minu reisimeigikott üsna õhuke kuid täis väga vajalikke tooteid.

Sellistel lühireisidel kasutan alati oma pehmet ja mõnusat fuksiaroosat Clinique meigikotti, mis on mul olnud juba sada aastat! See on piisavalt väike kuid mahukas ning lisaks on tal põhja all tõmblukuga suletav eraldi osa meigipintslite hoidmiseks.

Jumestuskreemina kasutan hetkel Lancome Teint Renergie Lift toonis 010, mis sisaldab SPF 20. Seda on imekerge hajutada, katvus on keskmine, püsib peal üsna hästi ega oksüdeeru. Rasuse naha omanikud peaksid selle kindlasti puudriga kinnitama. 

Tumedate silmaaluste peitmiseks kasutan L'Oreal Touche Magique valgustpeegeldavat pulka, mida olen ära kasutanud juba peaaegu 2 tükki.

Lauvärvide primer'ina on kasutusel Avon'i aluskreem toonis light beige. See on piisavalt kreemjas, mistõttu ei venita ma oma laugusid seda hajutades. Aitab lauvärvidel veatuna püsida hilisööni, seega igati kiiduväärt toode :)

Hiljuti UKst saadud Sleek'i lauvärvipalett toonis 578 Storm on muutunud minu selle sügise lemmikuks. Kõige rohkem olen kasutanud ülemise ja alumise rea kõige vasakpoolsemaid pruunikaid toone ning ülemise rea kahte parempoolsemat roosat ja ploomikarva tooni. See on väga mitmekülgne palett, millest kõik leiavad sobivaid toone. Üleüldse on Sleek niivõrd võrratu kosmeetikafirma, et ma tõesti soovitan nende tooteid proovida. Ka hind on lihtsalt suurepärane nii hea kvaliteediga toodete kohta :)

Kulmudel kasutan Oriflame Beauty kulmupaletti. Segan omavahel tumedat ja heledamat tooni ning saan endale täiuslikult sobiva kulmukaare. Olen seda toodet kasutanud igapäevaselt vist juba enam kui aasta aega ja tundub, et seda jagub elu lõpuni :D Kulmuvärvi kinnitan Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel'iga.

Põskedel armastan sügistalvisel hooajal kasutada rohkem roosasid toone. See Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation põsepuna toonis 2 on minu truu kaaslane olnud juba aastaid. Annab kauni kuma ja värske välimuse. Püsivus on ka täitsa korralik!

Ripsmetušina kasutan MaxFactor Masterpiece Max'i, millest on saamas minu uus lemmik. Eraldab, pikendab ja koolutab ripsmeid nii, et eraldi koolutajat kasutada polegi vaja. Tihedust just väga palju ei lisa aga seda pole ka igapäevaselt vaja :) 

Silma veejoonel kasutan Avon Glimmerstick silmapliiatsit toonis blackest black. Sellest on saanud minu uus lemmik, sest see on minu tundlikele silmadele piisavalt pehme ja õrn ning püsib kenasti umbes pool päeva. Siis tuleks veejoon uuesti üle käia.

Oma asendamatutest meigipintslitest, mis minuga alati kaasas käivad, kirjutan õige pea :)

Olge rõõmsad!

Lately I've had to take my essential makeup bag to small weekend travels quite often. These are the products I've been using and loving recently!

I always use my soft and cosy fuchsia Clinique makeup bag which I've had for hundred years :D 

It's small but spacious and has a separate compartment for brushes in the bottom locked with a zipper.

As a foundation I've been using Lancome Teint Renergie Lift in shade 010. It has SPF 20 in it, blends very easily, doesn't oxidise and looks nice whole day. Ladies with oily skin should use powder on top, though. To cover my dark under-eye circles, I've been using L'Oreal Touche Magique illuminating stick and I've gone through almost two of them :)

In the autumn/winter season I love to use more pinky shade blushers. So my good friend for years have been Yves Saint Laurent Blush Variation in shade 2. It makes my face look so fresh and awake and gives a nice glow :)

Eyeshadow primer is my essential tool. I love Avon primer in shade light beige. It's so creamy and soft that I don't have to drag my eyelids while applying it. It makes my eyeshadow stay put until midnight which makes it a very worthy product for such a small price :)

I've been absolutely loving my latest goodie from UK - the Sleek eyeshadow palette in 578 Storm. It's so versatile and the quality and pigmentation is just awesome. Plus it's very affordable! I really suggest you check out their products!

To groom my eyebrows, I've been using Oriflame Beauty eyebrow palette for over a year. I mix the dark and lighter shade to create perfect eyebrows. I use Lumene Blueberry Eyebrow Fixing Gel on top and this is so far the best product I've used for it.

My latest favourite mascara has been MaxFactor Masterpiece Max. It separates, gives length and I don't have to use a curler because this mascara does the job itself! Amazing! It doesn't give much volume but I don't need it on daily basis :)

I've also been loving Avon Glimmerstick in blackest black on my waterline. It's soft and gentle on my sensitive eyes. I have to re-apply it once during the day but still, I like it :)

I will write a post about my essential makeup brushes quite soon :)

Stay tuned and stay happy!
