Empties #22

It's been months since I last did an empties post so let me show you my recent stash of trash :)

Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo & Baby Wash - few months ago I switched 100% of my daughter's skin and haircare products to natural ones and have been using this 2in1 product on her hair and body since. It's very creamy, foams well, cleans well and her hair doesn't need conditioning after using it. Already have new bottle and will be repurchasing especially because this product is 100% natural.
Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation in #52 Vanilla - I really like this foundation and have had it many times. This shade suits me in colder months and I'm pretty sure that I'll repurchase it again.
IsaDora Brush Cleanser - I have a separate review on it HERE. I didn't like it for deep cleaning my makeup brushes because it didn't work that well but it works fine for spot cleaning and after washing my brushes with soap I liked using it for desinfecting my brushes since it has alcohol in it. Not sure if I'd repurchase though :)
e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - this is the first pot I've ever had and at first the glitter particles that are in the powder put me off of it. But I grew to loving it and when I heard that e.l.f. changed the powder so that there aren't any glitter in it I was happy to repurchase. And the rumours were true, the powder is now glitter free and I use it even more often than my NARS powder. I buy mine from iHerb and if you haven't shopped there before you can save up to $10 using my code LWH786.
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age concealer - I had such high hopes for this one because everybody was raving about it all over social media. It didn't have enough coverage for my dark blue under eye area but I used it up nevertheless. I liked using it instead of foundation on days that I really couldn't bother putting on full face of makeup. The wet consistency was perfect for that. Not gonna repurchase still.
Stenders Hydrating Wild Rose Facial Gel - it was a very nice and light moisturizer to use daily under makeup. Loved the consistency and the feel of it. Would repurchase:)
Catrice Liquid Camouflage concealer in #010 Porcellain - I have a full review on this concealer and I really love it til this day. Porcellain is perfect for colder months and right now I'm almost through 020 Light Beige. Super good coverage and I will definitely repurchase!
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash Mascara - I think this was the third or fourth tube of this mascara and I already have a new one. I love the wand and when it's been opened for a week or so, it gets even better. Plus it's super affordable while on sale :)
Oriflame The One Hypnotic Depth Mascara - this mascara was okay but nothing remarkable so I will stick to the one mentioned above from now on and will not experiment anymore :)
Turbliss Bioactive Firming and Toning Face Mask - this is an Estonian brand that uses peat in their products. I bought a small jar to try it out and unfortunately I'm not a big fan. Even though the packaging says that it's normal for your face to be red for a short while after using this mask, my face was bright red for half a day. So the next time I was ready to try this mask again, it was expired and I didn't dare to risk it.
Travalo - unfortunately mine broke somehow and I need to go and buy a new one because I find it really convenient to travel with or take perfume with you instead of carrying a big bottle around.

Aeg on järjekordselt ette näidata hunnik tühje potsikuid :)

Weleda Baby saialille šampoon-dušikreem - mõned kuud tagasi otsustasin mini-me keha- ja juuksehoolduse vahetada loodusliku vastu ja see Weleda kaks ühes toode on väga mugav. See vahutab hästi, on kreemjas ja niisutav ning pole vaja kasutada juuksepalsamit. Juba on järgmine pudel kasutuses ja ilmselt ostan seda ka edaspidi :)
Bourjois Healthy Mix jumestuskreem toonis #52 Vanilla - ma isegi ei tea, mitmes pudel see mul eluajal olnud on aga kindlasti on see üks pikaajalisi lemmikuid. Toon 52 sobib mulle just külmemal aastaajal ja kindlasti ostan seda ka edaspidi :)
Isadora pintslipuhasjata - kirjutasin sellest tootest eraldi SIIN. Minu arvates sobib see pigem spot-cleaning'uks ja pärast mõne muu vahendiga pesemist pintslite desinfitseerimiseks. Minu jaoks jäi sellel tootel jõudu väheks, seega uuesti ilmselt ei ostaks...
e.l.f. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder - spetsiaalne puuder just silmade all kasutamiseks. Kui ma selle puudritopsi esmakordselt avasin, ei meeldinud mulle kopsakad säratükid, mis puudri sees olid. Mõnda aega ma seda ei kasutanud kuid võtsin uuesti ette ja kasutasin viimse grammini ära. Väga peene koostisega puuder ning nüüd on e.l.f. selle seest ka säratükid eemaldanud, mis teeb sellest täiusliku toote. Mina ostan seda iHerbist ja kui sa pole varem sellest veebipoest midagi ostnud, siis võid minu koodi LWH786 kasutades säästa kuni 10$.
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age peitekreem - väga ülehaibitud toode terves internetis ning see on ilmselt ka põhjus, miks ma nii jubedalt pettusin. See ei kata mu siniseid silmaaluseid ja on väga vedela/märja koostisega, mistõttu sobib see rohkem pigem jumestuskreemiks kui peitmiseks.
Stenders niisutav näogeel Metsik Roos - kerge geeljas koostis, mis niisutas nahka, imendus väga kiiresti ja sobis seetõttu hästi just meigi alla. Oma kerguse poolest sobibki pigem soojemal ajal kasutamiseks :)
Catrice Liquid Camouflage peitekreem - kirjutasin sellest peitekreemist SIIN. Siiani parim peitekreem oma väga tugeva katvuse poolest. Uus tuub juba peaaegu tühi ning kindlasti lähen ja ostan uuesti.
Oriflame The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash ripsmetušš - ülihea leid ning kohe kui see tuub otsa sai, ootasin ära järgmise sooduka ja tellisin kohe uue. Eriti heaks muutub see pärast umbes nädalast kasutamist. Kõige lemmikum osa on selle tuši hari, kus ühel pool olevad lühikesed harjased ulatuvad väga ripsmejuure lähedale ilma, et tervet laugu täis mäkerdaks :)
Oriflame The One Hypnotic Depth ripsmetušš - see oli üsna tavaline tušš, mis oli okei aga mingit hüpnotiseerivat sügavust mu pilk sellega ei saavutanud. Edaspidi jään siiski pigem ülalmainitud tuši juurde :)
TurBliss bioaktiivne turbamask probleemsele nahale - tahtsin juba ammu proovida turbamaski ja soetasin prooviks väikese tuubi TurBlissi näomaski. Toote kirjelduses öeldakse, et kerge punetus on normaalne ja taandub pärast maski mahapesemist kiiresti kuid minu nägu oli kirsipunane pool päeva. Selleks hetkeks kui julgesin maski uuesti proovida oli selle säilivusaeg juba läbi ning ei tahtnud enam riskida...
Travalo - mul on hästi kahju, et minu truu parfüümihoidik lõpuks katki läks. Travalo on väga mugav viis parfüümi kaasas kanda. Vanasti müüdi seda vaid Kaubamajas, nüüd leidsin selle kiire guugeldamise peale Lovertest.

Haul: Selveri Ilulaat - Aussie, Maybelline, Eveline

Every season we have huge beauty sales in our biggest supermarkets and being a big makeup hoarder I just couldn't stay away from the good offers :)

This time I got three things from Selver (which beauty sale continues until May 16th) and here are my first impressions:

Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo Aussome Volume - you already know that I am obsessed with dry shampoos and I'm glad that there are more options to try from in our stores now. I really like this dry shampoo - it does what it's supposed to do and doesn't leave a lot of white residue. Even though the name suggests it to provide awesome volume it doesn't quite do that and I'm actually glad about it because I'm tired of volumizing dry shampoos that act like hard core hair spray instead of dry shampoo. Luckily this one meets all my requirements and I'm pretty sure to repurchase again :)

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation - I needed a full coverage matte finish foundation urgently and because I've heard so much praise for this foundation and it was on sale, I decided to try it. It has a dry and moussey texture which I thought would work good on my combination skin but it didn't. On a regular day I found that somewhere during lunch time it creased and became patchy. Today when I was under blaring led lights all day my face became oily and shiny quite fast (even though I used a mattifying primer underneath) and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that has combination to oily skin. I will use it on regular days but it's definitely not a foundation for extreme occasions.

Eveline Lash Therapy 8in1 Concentrated Eyelash Serum - one of Estonian Russian-speaking blogger Estonianna swears by this product and out of curiosity (and for the discounted price) I wanted to try it. I have been using it for almost a week now and even though I don't see any lash growing and volumizing effect yet (which I actually don't need) I like this product because it acts like a mascara primer which makes my lashes look longer and thicker. And the best part is that it curls my lashes so that I don't have to use a curler. I love it and would repurchase :)

Selveri Ilulaat kestab veel 16. maini ning räägin kiirelt, mida mina olen juba jõudnud soetada ja millised on esmamuljed.

Kuivšampoon minu ostude hulgas on väga tavaline nähtus ning mul on hea meel, et meie kaubandusvõrgus on erinevate brandide kuivšampoone üha enam. 3.99 eest soetasin Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo Aussome Volume versiooni ning see meeldib mulle väga. Teeb oma tööd tõhusalt ega jäta eriti valge pulbri jääke juustesse. Kuigi nimi väidab, et toode annab superpalju volüümi, siis õnneks see seda siiski ei tee, just täpselt parasjagu, nii nagu kuivšampoonile kohane. Miks ma ütlen õnneks? Sest ma olen väsinud sellest, et volüümi andvad kuivšampoonid on tegelikult nagu supertugevad juukselakid ning sõrmi läbi juuste tõmmata pole praktiliselt võimalik. Aussie nii ei tee ning ilmselt ostan seda toodet ka edaspidi.

Vajasin kiirelt matti jumestuskreemi ning kuna Maybelline Dream Velvet jumestuskreemi kiidetakse veebiavarustes väga, mõtlesin ära proovida. Hind oli ka väga hea - 7.99. Sellel on kuivapoolsem ja vahuline koostis ning arvasin, et minu kombineeritud nahale võiks see kooslus sobida. Tavalisel päeval märkasin lõunal, et t-tsoon läigib veidi ning kreem on kogunenud kortsudesse, ninanurkadesse ja on muutunud veidi laiguliseks. Eile veetsin terve päeva eredate led-lampide all ning läikima hakkas nägu juba 4 tunniga kuigi kasutasin jumestuskreemi all ka matistavat aluskreemi. Seega kahjuks esmamuljed ei ole hetkel väga head.

Eveline LashTherapy ripsmeseeruit kiidat väga Eesti blogija Estonianna. Ilulaadal on selles väga soodne hind (2.69) ning uudishimust tahtsin ära proovida. Mu ripsmed on niigi pikad ja üsna tihedad, seega nädalase kasutamise järel ma veel pole lisa täheldanud. Küll aga meeldib mulle seda seerumit kasutada ripsmetušši primer'ina - see teeb ripsmed tihedamaks ja pikemaks ning parim omadus on see, et koolutab ripsmed ka kenasti kaardu nii et eraldi ripsmekoolutajat ei olegi vaja kasutada.

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 :)

Haul: few things from Germany

I spent last weekend in Germany in the lovely and beautiful city of Hamburg :)

And of course I couldn't walk past their beauty shops and get few things.

I have come to a point where I actually don't NEED anything so this time I was modest with my haul :)

From one of the largest beauty shops called Douglas I got two things from NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk which I thought would become handy while doing my MUA work and Butter Gloss Lipgloss in Peaches and Cream. The colour is very bright so it's more suitable for summer but if applied sheer I can get away with it even now during autumn :)

From another shop in Billstedt-Center I finally got my hands on Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer in shade 03 Fair. I haven't seen it in our local shops and since half of Youtube raves about it, I had to grab it. Unfortunately my first impressions are not super good but we'll see.

I also thought that trying out Essence Liquid Lipstick in shade 02 Beauty Secret would be interesting plus the shade is spot on for autumn :) 

Veetsin eelmise nädalavahetuse Saksamaal, võluvas linnas Hamburg ning otse loomulikult ei saanud ma kosmeetikapoodidest lihtsalt mööda kõndida :)

Õnneks olen jõudnud punkti, kus mul otseselt midagi VAJA ei ole ja seega olin oma ostudega üsna tagasihoidlik :)

Ilukaupluste ketist Douglas soetasin kaks NYX toodet - Jumbo Eye Pencil lauvärvipliiatsi toonis Milk (5.99€), mida plaanin kasutada oma jumestajatöödes. Butter Gloss huuleläige toonis Peaches and Cream (6.99€) on ere ja suvine läige kuid saan seda ka praegu kanda kui lisan huuletele õhukese kihi värvi.

Billstedt-Center kaubanduskeskusest rabasin kaasa Maybelline Instant Age Rewind peitekreemi toonis 03 Fair (9.99€), mida Youtube'is väga kiidetakse kuid minu esmamuljed pole siiski nii positiivsed kui ootasin :)

Essence Liquid Lipstick vedel huulepulk toonis 02 Beauty Secret (2.49€) tundus põnev ja toon ka sügisele sobiv. Kui mu mälu mind ei peta, siis peaks need ka meil Selverites müügil olema :)

Shopping list #2

One of our local supermarket has a huge sale on beauty products and here's what I'm going to buy :)

Lumene Moisturizing & Illuminating and/or Matifying & Pore Minimizing primer
Lumene Longwear Blur Foundation
Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara
Colgate MaxWhite One Optic toothpaste
Gilette Venus Snap razor

Have you tried any of these products?
Are they any good?

pildid skännitud Selveri Ilulaada kataloogist

Selveris on jällegi käimas Ilulaat ning haarasin täna toiduoste tehes nende kataloogi kaasa, et rahulikult tassi tee kõrval koostada oma järgmine rahakotti laastav ostunimekiri :)

Õnneks on Ilulaadal hinnad soodsamad kui muidu, seega väga suurt eelarveauku ma ei planeeri ning piirdun vaid toodetega mida vajan/olen pikka aega proovida tahtnud :)

Lumene on välja tulnud uute meigialuskreemidega - niisutav ja sära andev ning matistav ja poore kahandav. Ma pole veel otsustanud, kas soetan vaid matistava või mõlemad. Lumene lauvärvi aluskreeme kiidetakse samuti väga :)
Samuti on hea hinnaga saadaval uus Longwear Blur jumestuskreem, mis pakub mulle samuti palju huvi :)

Maybelline'il on samuti uudistooteid kuhjaga turule tulnud ning nende Browdrama modelleerivat kulmugeeli olen pikalt oodanud. Nüüd saan selle taskukohase hinnaga ära proovida :)

Colgate MaxWhite One Optic hambapastat kiidetakse palju ning valgemaid hambaid tahavad vist kõik inimesed, nii ka mina :)

Gilette Venus tuli mõnda aega tagasi välja Snap raseerijaga, mis on väike ning mida saab kaasasoleva karbikesega mugavalt endaga reisile kaasa võtta. Ainus ost siit nimekirjast, mis on tõesti praktilise väärtusega :D

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?
Kas lähed ka Selverisse kraami kokku ostma?

Haul: pt #3 Nars & Dior

I saved the best for last!!!

This is my Christmas gift from my lovely sister :)

I've never tried Dior eyeshadows before and I was jumping up and down and squealing from excitement when I opened my package :)

I love every item here because the quality is just heavenly! And high-end brands just know how to package their products so that it looks extremely festive and expensive :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette in shade #796 Cuir Cannage - this palette contains four shimmery  brown shades and one matte medium brown shade for blending. These shadows are so pigmented and creamy, blend well and even with a light hand they pack on a lot of colour. You can see great swatches here and a close-up here. Needless to say, I love this palette and since it has colours I use in my eye makeup the most, it's just perfect!!!! :)

Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder in #1411 Translucent - this pressed powder comes in a pouch with a sponge. It is so fine you almost can't see it. It really is translucent and leaves my skin feeling smooth an soft. Works very well for setting my under-eye concealer. Love it and use it every single day :)

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in shade Light2 Vanilla - this stuff stays put for the whole day!!!! It brightens and hides my dark blue under-eyes like nothing else I've tried in my life. It doesn't crease but also doesn't hide all of my tiny wrinkles. But you can't really beat your age, can you? I love it and it has become absolutely irreplaceable together with the Nars setting powder :)

I also got the Maybelline FITme Concealer in shade #15 which I can't get here. Now I'm totally backed up for a looooong time :)

Parima ostude postituse jätsin muidugi viimaseks :)
Tegelikult on kõik see, mis pildil, jõulukingitus minu armsalt õelt :) Äkki ma siis olen ikka sel aastal hea laps olnud? :)

Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow lauvärvipalett toonis #796 Cuir Cannage  - 4 lummavat sädelevat ja üks matt pruun toon teevad sellest paletist perfektsuse. Just pruunikaid toone kasutan oma silmameigis enim, sest beežid-kuldsed-pruunid-punakad toonid muudavad mu muidu hallid silmad siniseks :) Lauvärvid on imeilusad ja väga pigmenteeritud. Ka kerge käega jääb laule piisav kogus värvi. Püsivad hästi ja juba ainuüksi see pakend tekitab niivõrd luksusliku tunde, lauvärvidest endast rääkimata :)

Nars Light Reflecting Setting Powder toonis #1411 Translucent - see pressitud läbipaistev puuder on nii peene koostisega, et seda pole nahal näha. Eriti mõnus on seda puudrit kasutada peitekreemi kinnitamiseks silmade all. Puuder on pakitud kotikesse, milles eraldi sahtlis on ka puudrisvamm. Nahk on seda puudrit peale kandes sametine ja pehme :)

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer toonis Light2 Vanilla - see peitekreem on nii kauapüsiv, et paneb lausa imestama! Ühtlasi katab see mu sinised silmaalused tõesti veatult. See küll ei kaota mu peeneid kortse aga ma annan selle talle andeks, sest peeneid kortse näeb vaid siis kui mu näole väga lähedal olla, seevastu tumedate silmaaluste omamises ei saa mind nüüd enam keegi "süüdistada" :D Koos ülalmainitud puudriga on sellest saanud minu igapäevane truu kaaslane.

Lisaks oli pakis ka Maybelline FITme peitekreem toonis 15, mida mina pole Eesti kaubandusvõrgust leidnud. Olen nüüd kohe pikemaks ajaks varustatud :)

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.

Worth the hype? (Drugstore)

There's been countless products that's been raved about all over the internet for years.

And of course I've wanted most of them (because if so many of people like them, they can't be bad, right?) and have gotten some.

Some of these are not mentioned that much anymore but I still want to let you know what my thoughts are on these products :)

Lips

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in shade #129 Beige - we don't have NYX in my country so it was double painful (LOL) to hear how most of the Youtubers were praising this gloss for ages. I finally got it in summer this year and... I love the bow on the packaging, that it smells of cherries, is not sticky, wears off nicely BUT... it is nothing extremely special in my opinion to be chasing after it all over the planet.

It's a nice natural rosy pink shade that is suitable for every day wear and even though I like it and don't regret buying it, I was expecting something more.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter which I have in shade #095 Creme Brûlée - it was a huge hit all over the net 1-2 years ago. I finally got my hands on this nude beige shade sometime last year and I haven't used it at all. It sits on my lips without blending in, wears off in a very ugly way, isn't that buttery at all and no, in my opinion, it wasn't worth the hype at all. Or maybe it's just this particular shade that's not good? I don't know and since we don't have Revlon in my country also, I'm not able to try other ones.

Concealer

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer which I have in shade #2 Light - there are still a ton of people raving about this concealer and saying that it's one of the best they've ever tried. Yes, it might be true if you're in early 20s, don't have fine lines or dark under eye circles. Since I'm already over 30, I have noticeable fine lines, very dark under-eye circles and I'm a workaholic, this one doesn't satisfy my needs at all. It almost seems to exaggerate all my flaws around my eye area and it creases. Not liking it at all :(

Maybeline Fit Me Concealer in shade #15 - now this one is really worth all the hype. It blends effortlessly with any foundation, has a decent amount of coverage, doesn't crease, highlights perfectly and above all is so affordable! Unfortunately my concealer is empty and I can't find shade #15 anywhere in my local stores. #15 has a pink undertone which is perfect to cover dark blue under-eye area, shades #10 and #20 have yellow undertone which are good to cover blemishes and red spots. Now I just have to search high and low for my beloved #15 because I just can't be without it :D

Eyeshadow

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr cream eyeshadow which I have in shades #05 Eternal Gold, #35 On and On Bronze and #70 Metallic Pomegranate - these are the cult cream eyeshadows for at least a million people :) These are perfect to use as a primer or a base for your eyeshadow. But if I use them on their own I have to be extra careful not to apply too much because in that case it will cake up and look patchy. That makes it quite difficult to achieve the exact colour on your eyes as it is in the pot. The shade #05 Eternal Gold is my least favourite both colour and application wise. This shade is not gold, it's yellow and I haven't managed to apply it so that it would look smooth and nice. 

My most used one is shade #35 On and On Bronze which is a nice taupe brown shade. I have to warn you also that these are not just shimmery (with a lot of glitter in them) but full on metallic so bare that in mind. I'm not loving them but I'm using them on days when I'm in a hurry and not striving for a perfect eye makeup. They will do for a quick fix and once they set, they don't move anywhere! :)

Do you agree? Which products have you tried that's been praised a lot and are they worth it? :)

Internet on täis erinevaid tootearvustusi ning on suur hulk kosmeetikume, mida kiidetakse pidevalt üle terve maailma. Olles iluhuviline, tahan ma loomulikult alati ära proovida tooted, mille kiidulaul on lõputu, sest toode peab ju olema väga hea kui miljonid nii väidavad :)

Valisin arvustamiseks välja mõned tooted, millest on palju head räägitud ning mida ise olen kasutanud (sel korral odavamate brändide hulgast).

Huuled

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss huuleläige toonis #129 Beige - seda konkreetset tooni on nii palju kiidetud, et kui ma suvel Poolas NYXi müügil nägin, võtsin kogu valikust koju kaasa just selle huuleläike. Pakendil on armas lipsuke, läige lõhnab kirsside järele, ei kleepu ja on üldiselt ilus roosa toon, mis sobib igapäevaseks kasutamiseks. Aga minu jaoks pole see siiski midagi ebatavaliselt head ning kuna ootused olid väga kõrgeks aetud, olen veidi isegi selle huuleläike "tavalisuses" pettunud.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter huulepulk on mul toonis #095 Creme Brûlée - paar aastat tagasi olid Revloni Lip Butter'id tõeline hitt. Sain minagi endale selle beežika huulepulga ning ei, see pole kohe üldse hea. Peale kandes jäävad koledad randid, maha kulub inetult ja pole üldse nii kreemine kui nime järgi arvata võiks. Ma ei tea, kas ainult see toon on selline kehvake või kogu kollektsioon aga uut ostma ei kipu kohe üldse :)

Peitekreemid

Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer peitekreem on mul toonis #2 Light - seda kiidetakse tänase päevani taevani. Jah, see võib sobida varastes 20ndates, kortsukesteta ja tumedate silmaalusteta noorele neiule kuid olles üle 30ne, arvukate peente silmaümbruse kortsude ja tumedate silmaalustega töönarkomaan, siis minu vajadusi see peitekreem ei rahulda. Lisaks koguneb see vagudesse ja mõnevõrra isegi kuivatab silmaaluseid, muutes kortse veelgi enam märgatavaks.

Maybeline Fit Me Concealer peitekreem toonis #15 - see peitekreem on väga hea ja iga kiitvat sõna tõesti väärt. Seda on kerge hajutada ja see "sulandub" iga jumestuskreemiga, katab tumedad silmaalused, ei kogune vagudesse ning seda saab edukalt kasutada üle terve näo vajalike piirkondade highlight'imiseks. Toon 15 on minu lemmik, sest sel on roosakas alatoon, mis sobib just sinakaslillade silmaaluste peitmiseks, toonid 10 ja 20 (mis mul samuti on) on kollaka alatooniga ning seetõttu pigem sobilikud punetuse katmiseks. Ainus mure on see, et ma ei suuda ühestki Eesti poest tooni 15 leida. Aga mul on seda väga vaja, sest praegune tuub on juba ootamas tühjade potsikute postitust.

Silmad

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr kreemjad lauvärvid on minul toonides #05 Eternal Gold, #35 On and On Bronze ja #70 Metallic Pomegranate - need kreemjad lauvärvid töötavad väga hästi lauvärvi aluskreemina või põhjana suitsusilmale. Kui aga tahta neid lauvärve üksinda kasutada, tuleb olla ettevaatlik, et liiga palju kreemi laugudele ei satu, sest siis läheb see kuidagi tükki ja on ebaühtlane. Kõige vähem meeldib mulle toon 05 Eternal Gold, sest see on lihtsalt kollane. Kõige rohkem kasutan aga tooni 35 On and On Bronze päevil, mil on kiire ning täiuslikku silmameiki ei jõua teha. Väga hea omadus on see, et kui kreem on laugudel kuivanud, ei liigu see sealt enam mitte kuhugi, küll aga on need lauvärvid väga sädalevad ja lausa metallikud, seega need, kes nii palju sillerdust ei armasta, võiks mõne muu brändi poole kiigata :)

Oled siit nimekirjast mõnda toodet proovinud? Kas oled minuga nõus? :)

Recent favourites...

Lately, I've been really busy and don't have a lot of time to get ready in the mornings. 

So, I've started to use less makeup and I've been reaching for all these fuss-free makeup products. Weirdly enough a lot of them are cream products :)

First of all - my Clarisonic Plus. I love the gentle exfoliation it provides and it also massages my skin and cleans it so that if I use toner or micellar water afterwards, there's not a trace of makeup left on my skin. I feel that it really does cleanse my skin thoroughly and I hope that after some time it will also help to improve my skin deep down :) I use it every other day and feel that this way it's not too harsh for me :)

One of the makeup products I actually never use are contour powders and bronzers :) But this Lancome Star Bronzer Sun-Kissed Bronzing Power is just the perfect shade to wear as an eyeshadow. It makes my eyes look so blue and bright. And it's matte, which is perfect :) For using as a bronzer, I feel that this one would look too orange in my skin tone (swatch in the middle). If I use an eyeshadow primer it also stays on the whole day :)

I've had my Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit for a long time and I really like it. The only product I almost never touched from the palette is the wax on the bottom of the kit. But after filling my eyebrows in and using my finger to warm the wax a bit and then applying it, the wax makes my eyebrows stay put for the whole day. The only downside is that the wax looks quite yucky now and I don't like my makeup looking dirty :D

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in shade #01 Black is something I think I cannot live without anymore. It makes putting mascara on my bottom lashes so easy and clean plus the mascara doesn't smudge or flake during the whole time I'm wearing it. Love it!

All kind of cream products is my new obsession. It' just so easy to apply them especially with my fingers :)
I've been wearing the cream blusher from my Sleek Blush By 3 palette in shade Pink Lemonade every single day (swatch second from left). It's very long-wearing product that gives my cheeks a fresh flush during the day :)
I've been wearing Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream eyeshadow in shade #35 On and on Bronze very often (swatch second from right). It is a shimmery colour but on some days I quite like it. A more in-depth review on Color Tattoos will come soon :)
The other cream eyeshadow I've been loving recently and that has previously featured in my favourites is Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow in shade #25 Slate (swatch on the right). It's my favourite taupey grey matte shade and it truly is long wearing. I apply and blend it with my fingers which is very convenient when in a hurry :)
Surprisingly the lip product I've been reaching for most is Bellaoggi Tentazione lipstick pencil in shade #03 Candy Pink (swatch on the left). It was an impulse buy off the discount shelf. Ah, oh... it's just awesome. Matte soft pink shade that lasts a very very long time! This product proves that you don't always have to spend a fortune to get a really worthy product :)

Mu elutempo on viimasel ajal olnud ülimalt kiire - varane ärkamine ei jäta just kuigi palju aega meigi peale kulutada, seega on mul tekkinud hulk tooteid, mis aitavad paari minutiga hakkama saada.

Clarisonic Plus - see puhastab mu naha täiesti puhtaks! Kui ma pärast Clarisonic'u kasutamist oma näo tooniku või mitsellaarveega üle tõmban, on mu nahk täiesti puhas ja mingeid meigijälgi ei ole. Lisaks koorib see hellalt mu nahka ning masseerib seda. Kaifin! :D

Ma üldiselt ei kasuta kunagi ei kontuurimis- ega päikesepuudrit. Kuna mul see Lancome Star Bronzer Sun-Kissed Bronzing Power (värvinäidis keskel) sahtlis vedeles, proovisin seda lauvärvina ja ohhoooo! Mu hallid silmad muutuvad helesiniseks kui seda kasutan! Lisaks, lauvärvi aluskreemi kasutades püsib see peal terve päeva!

Oriflame Beauty Eyebrow Kit kulmupalett on mul kasutuses olnud juba terve igaviku ja see meeldib mulle väga. Ainus toode, mida ma sellest paletist praktiliselt puutunud polnud, oli kulmuvaha. Kuid kui seda sõrmede vahel veidi soojendada ja siis värvitud kulmudele kanda, kindlustab vaha selle, et kulmud püsivad seal, kus on nende koht, kogu päeva jooksul! :)

Alates hetkest kui hakkasin kasutama spetsiaalselt alumistele ripsmetele mõeldud Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara ripsmetušši toonis #01 Black ei kujuta ma oma elu selleta enam ette. Mugav pisike harjas muudab tušši pealekandmise kergeks ja puhtaks ning see ei liigu ripsmetelt kuhugi enne kui selle maha pesen. Fantastiline!

Kreemjad tooted on ajapuuduse tõttu muutunud asendamatuks. Sestap kasutan viimasel ajal oma Sleek Blush By 3 põsepunapaleti kreemjat ruuži (värvinäidis vasakult teine) kõige sagedamini. See püsib peal terve päeva ja annab mu näole terve jume :)
Kreemjatest lauvärvidest olen viimasel ajal kõige rohkem kasutanud Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H toonis #35 On and on Bronze (värvinäidis paremalt teine). See on üsna sätendav ja seega ei kanna ma seda igapäevaselt aga vastavalt tujule ikkagi piisavalt tihti. Eraldi arvustus Color Tattoo'dest tuleb üsna pea :)
Teine lemmik kreemjas lauvärv on imeilus hallikas taupe toon, mis on ka varasemalt lemmikutes listitud olnud. Tegemist on Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow lauvärviga toonis #25 Slate (värvinäidis paremal). Tõeliselt kauakestev lauvärv, mis ei vaja aluskreemi :)
Üllatavalt on mu viimase aja enimkasutatav huuletoode Bellaoggi Tentazione huulepulga pliiats toonis #03 Candy Pink (värvinäidis vasakul). Soetasin selle mingi suvalise sooduka ajal Selverist ja ohh! Nii ilus ja matt toon, mis kestab tunde ja tunde. Toode, mis tõestab, et ülihea tulemuse saavutamiseks pole alati vaja kulutada tervet varandust :)

Empties #11

Time for another 'products I've used up' post :)

 

Hair and body

Kerastase Bain Chroma Captive Colour Radiance Protective Shampoo - I just love Kerastase haircare line! Though my hair isn't coloured at the moment I had less than half a bottle of this shampoo left so I happily used it up. I remember it keeping my coloured hair staying radiant longer plus this shampoo keeps my hair shiny and healthy! I plan on having some highlights done soon and then I would definitely like to repurchase this line :) 

 Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume - I recently used this bottle up and I really missed having it! Even though I purchased two other dry shampoos which are quite good, I still grabbed a new bottle straight away when I saw it on sale. It gives extra volume and if I put it in my hair the night before, it keeps my hair looking a lot more fresh in the morning oppose to spraying it on already a bit dirty hair on the second day! Love it and will (and already have :D ) repurchase :)

Face and body
Dr Hauschka Cleansing Clay Mask 10g - lately I've been trying out different face masks and this have been the first one I really enjoyed. This little packet was enough for one try so I can't really say if it really deep cleaned my pores but my face felt really soft and nice afterwards and it didn't dry my skin out. If it wasn't that pricey I would love to have the full size of the mask.
Oriflame Activelle Cotton Dry 24h anti-perspirant - I love Oriflame deodorants. Thay are affordable and do their job very well. Plus their scent is not overpowering. The next time I order something from Oriflame, I will definitely get a new anti-perspirant again.
Garnier Mineral 48h Ultra Dry deodorant - I usually don't like sprays but since it was the mini size, I liked to have it with me on small trips. It did it's job well but the scent was too strong.
Makeup
Oriflame Perfect Fusion Foundation SPF 25  in shade Ivory - I liked that the bottle came with a pump. It gave light to medium coverage but in my opinion this foundation is more suitable for dry to normal skin. I have combination skin and I felt that during spring when the weather was warmer, my face started to shine and get oily in the T-zone after 4 hours of wearing it. Not going to repurchase.
 Avon Eyeshadow Primer  in shade light beige - this is a good and affordable primer. I have nothing bad to say about it and I might repurchase :)
L'Oreal False Lash Wings mascara - I had a full review on it HERE. I love this mascara and if I use up the 7 ones I have in my drawers ( :D ) at the moment and won't find anything better, I will definitely repurchase. Amazing value for money :)
Maybelline Color Whisper in shade #130 Pink Possibilities - lovely, creamy peachy pink shade that you can apply without a mirror. Looks especially good when tanned. Not going to repurchase at the moment just because I have too many lipsticks :)
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color  in shade #31 Pale Mauve - very nice nude shade that surprisingly doesn't wash me our nor make me look sick or dead. But it just got old and started to smell funky. I'm very sad to have to throw it away :(
Other
MAC Brush Cleanser - it's really efficient and I will definitely repurchase. Good value for money and lasts long! I usually mix it with a little water and still get my brushes squeaky clean. Plus mixing it with water makes the bottle last longer :)

Aeg ritta laduda ja kirja panna oma arvamus järjekordsetest tühjaks saanud toodetest :)

 

Juuksed ja keha

Kerastase Bain Chroma Captive Colour Radiance Protective Shampoo - mulle väga meeldivad Kerastase juuksehooldustooted! Kuigi mu juuksed ei ole hetkel värvitud, kasutasin selle pooliku pudeli rõõmuga lõpuni. Ajal kui mu juuksed olid värvitud, aitas see šampoon värvil kauem ja juustel tervemate ja läikivatena püsida. Kui uuesti juukseid värvin, ostan ilmselt uuesti. Kerastase tooteid saab soetada näiteks Levelzone e-poest, kus on hetkel paljud juuksehooldustooted sooduspakkumises :)

 Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume - hiljuti sai mul see kuivšampoon otsa ja ma lausa igatsesin seda! Olen vahepeal soetanud veel 2 teiste brändide kuivšampooni kuid seda Levelzone'is sooduspakkumises nähes, tellisin kohe pudeli varuks. Ma leian, et kui seda õhtul juustesse piserdada, siis on hommikul juuksed hoopis puhtamad kui näiteks teise päeva hommikul seda juba pisut rasustesse juustesse lasta. Ja see annab tõesti XXL kohevust!

Nägu ja keha
Dr Hauschka Cleansing Clay Mask 10g - viimasel ajal pakuvad näomaskid mulle suurt huvi ja olen proovinud päris mitut. See Dr Hauschka savimask on seni ainus, mis on meeldinud. 10 grammisest pakist jätkus üheks kasutuskorraks ja seetõttu ma mingit erilist poore sügavpuhastavat toimet ei täheldanud. Küll aga oli nahk pehme ja mõnus ega kiskunud peaaegu ülse, erinevalt teistest proovitud savimaskidest. Krõbe hind paneb veidi kukalt kratsima aga kui otsingud tulemust ei too, ostan ilmselt ka suure paki :)
Oriflame Activelle Cotton Dry 24h anti-perspirant - mulle väga meeldivad Oriflame'i anti-perspirandid. Teevad oma tööd hästi, ei ärrita kaenlaaluseid, lõhn pole liialt vänge ja hind vägagi taskukohane. Ostan veel! :)
Garnier Mineral 48h Ultra Dry deodorant - mulle üldiselt ei meeldi spreideodorandid ning selle lõhn oli ka liiga vänge. Meeldis see, et tegu oli minivariandiga, mida oli mugav lühireisidele kaasa võtta.
Makeup
Oriflame Perfect Fusion Foundation SPF 25  toonis Ivory - mulle meeldis, et jumestuskreem on pumbaga pudelis. Sellel on kerge kuni keskmine katvus kuid minu arvates ei sobi see kombineeritud ja rasusele nahale. Minu nägu hakkas umbes 4 tunni pärast T-tsoonis läikima. Ilmselt enam ei osta.
 Avon Eyeshadow Primer  lauvärvi aluskreem toonis light beige - väga hea ja korralik lauvärvi aluskreem, mis on väga soodsa hinnaga. Ilmselt ostan uuesti :)
L'Oreal False Lash Wings ripsmetušš - kirjutasin sellest ripsmetušist pikemalt SIIN. Väga-väga hea ripsmetušš ning kui olen ära kasutanud need 7, mis mul sahtlis proovimist ootavad ning ei leia nende hulgast paremat tušši, ostan kindlasti uue tuubi :)
Maybelline Color Whisper toonis #130 Pink Possibilities - armas virsikukarva roosa huulepulk, mis on kerge ja niisutav ning mille pealekandmiseks pole peeglit vaja. Eriti kena näeb see välja päevitunud nahaga :) Ei osta uut lihtsalt seetõttu, et mul on liiga palju huulepulki :D
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color  huulepulk toonis #31 Pale Mauve - enam-vähem ainus nude  toonis huulepulk, mis mulle sobis. Kahjuks sai see lihtsalt vanaks ja hakkas juba imelikult lõhnama. Nii ma ta väga raske südame prügikasti suunangi ja jään pikalt taga nutma :(
Muu
MAC Brush Cleanser pintslite puhastamise vedelik - väga tõhus toode nii hea hinna eest (umbes 11 eurot). Pudelist jätkub pikaks ajaks ning mina segan seda lausa veidikese veega. Ka veega segades peseb meigipintslid täiesti puhtaks ning nii jätkub seda ka kauemaks. Peangi kiirelt Kaubamajja jooksma, et uus pudel koju tuua :) 

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 :)
