JOIK Sweet Peppermint candle

2012-03-04T16:59:00.000+02:00

JOIK is a natural cosmetics brand in Estonia. They make fabolous candles and spa products as well as a bunch of skin care items. But I discovered JOIK through their scented soy wax candles. They have a great scent selection and the candles make your whole room smell like... yumminess. I just got two candles from JOIK and I'll introduce you the first one. I love love LOVE how their candles look - they're so simple and beautiful and they burn all the way to the bottom.
This candle has a perfect peppermint scent with a hint of vanilla. Actually, the hint is quite strong and I find it smells more like vanilla with a hint of peppermint. I love the colour and the scent is a bit sweeter than I hoped, but still really good.
You can check out more JOIK products at their website www.joik.ee - I think they ship internationally as well.

Tellisin kaks JOIK küünalt ja tutvustan teile esimest. Teine jäägu veel soojemaks ja päikeselisemaks ajaks. Olen ennegi korduvalt öelnud, kuidas ma JOIK küünlaid jumaldan - neil on suur valik imelisi lõhnu ja küünlad näevad välja väga-väga stiilsed, sobides iga sisustusega ja igasse tuppa.
Tellisin endale küünla "Magus piparmünt" - sel lihtsalt põhjusel, et mulle meeldib kõik piparmündine ja see värv sobib ilusti mu tuppa. Ehkki kirjelduses seisis "karge, värske piparmünd killukese vaniljega", lõhnab see küünal rohkem nagu magus vanilje killukese piparmündiga. Lootsin, et see on pisut värskem ja mündisem ja mitte niivõrd magus, aga lõhn on imehea sellegipoolest.
Võite nende küünlaid uurida koduleheküljelt www.joik.ee

Request / Pisike palve...

2012-03-04T11:53:00.000+02:00

If you have any questions about some old posts, please ask them through Formspring (the white box is comfortably on the right!). It's really annoying to go through my archive, find the old post and write the answer in the comments. Yes, I'm lazy like that.

Kui teil on mulle küsimusi mingite vanade postituste kohta (a'la kust ma sain mingi toote, millest olen kirjutanud novembris), siis palun-palun saatke need mulle Formspringi (ja nüüd pilk paremalee! Seal on tore väike kastike, kuhu küsimus klõbistada). Nii on mul mugav kõikidele küsimustele korraga vastata ja ma ei pea arhiivist vana postitust üles otsima ja sinna kirjutama. Laiskloom on leidlik.

Aitäh tähelepanu eest. :D

Makeup for spring!

2012-03-04T10:18:00.000+02:00

Avon "Carnation", Rimmel Lasting Finish "Pink Champagne", Avon "Pout"

Real Techniques stippling brush, Bourjois Healthy Mix (53), L'Oreal True Match (N4), Bare Escentuals Full Flawless Face brush

Bareminerals Flawless Definition mascara, Make Up Store "Wave" & "Water Spring", The Body Shop brow pencil

theBalm Mary Lou-Manizer, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer, Make Up Store "Pink Reef" blush, Eco Tools kabuki

Yesterday the first day when I can really feel that spring is not far anymore. Yes, it's slippery outside and I fell really hard, but that didn't really bring me down. Okay, literally it did, but not emotionally. :D During the last few weeks, I've been switching out some products in my makeup bag and now I'm all set for spring. There are no lip glosses or lip balms on the picture just because I always use the one closest to me and I don't really have any favourites for spring.

Panin oma kevadise kosmeetikakoti kokku. Pildilt puudub huuleläige, sest kasutan seda, mis kätte juhtub - huulepalsamiga sama lugu. Kui keegi soovib mõnest nähtud tootest arvustust, andku julgelt teada, ma siin ei hakanud pikka juttu kirjutama, pealegi räägivad pildid enda eest - heleroosad huulepulgad, värvilised silmalainerid, sära- ja päikesepuuder, sädelev roosa põsepuna - kevad on ju kohe-kohe käes!

Shorty!

2012-03-03T15:59:00.000+02:00

On most of my blog pictures I wear extensions and whenever someone asks me how do I keep my hair so long and healthy I have to reply "My hair is usually in my drawer, so it doesn't really get damaged... " :D Well, since I went to hairdressers today to get my dry ends and fringe fixed, I thought this might be the perfect time to show you my actual hair length.
p.s. There's nothing better than the smell of your hair when you've just stepped out of a hair salon!

Kannan enamikul oma blogipiltidest juuksepikendusi, niisiis iga kord kui keegi küsib, kuidas ma oma pikki juukseid hooldan, vastan ma midagi stiilis "No need on enamasti sahtlis, nii et nad ei saa eriti kahjustada ega vaja erilist hooldust... " :D Kuna käisin täna juuksuris ja lasin kuivad otsad maha lõigata ja tukka kohendada, siis otsustasin, et just nüüd on õige aeg näidata oma õiget juuksepikkust. :) Kui kedagi huvitab, siis ma käisin Sheila Kahri juures, ilusalongis Jem.
p.s. Kas te teate midagi paremat kui juuste lõhn pärast juuksurist väljumist?

Went to buy groceries, came back with 6 face masks

2012-03-03T15:37:00.002+02:00

Strawberry Souffle, Apricot Scrub, Sauna Masque, Iced Crystal, Mud Pac, Chocolate Masque

The shop near my home is having a pretty big sale at the moment and when I noticed that all the Montagne Jeunesse face masks were 1€, I decided this was the time to finally try them out. I picked six and later realized that most of them were anti stress and deep cleansing, which means I can't really use them in a row and it may take some time to use them all up. But I can give you a mini review of them along the way, just tell me if you would be interested in that.

Also, have you tried any of them? Any thoughts about them?

Praegu on Selveri Laadapäevadel kõik Montagne Jeunesse näomaskid 1 euro (võrdluseks - Seppäläs maksab üks 2.49). Kodus avastasin, et suurem osa neist on stressi leevendavad ja sügavpuhastavad, nii et päris järjest ma neid ära ei kasuta, pigem jaotan pikema perioodi peale. Aga ma võin kõigist aja jooksul miniarvustuse teha (koos pildiga sellest, kui kaunis ma maskiga olen :D), öelge vaid, kas te oleksite sellest huvitatud.

Kas olete ise mõnda neist proovinud? Kuidas oli?

yum

+ "Metallic 4 Life"

February empties!

2012-02-29T00:32:00.000+02:00

These are the products I used up in February. I also used up two packs of my favourite Huggies babywipes and my Rimmel Volume Flash mascara (review HERE), but I accidentally threw the packagins in the trash. :(
Anyway, here we go.

Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage Shower Gel
This is probably one of my favourite shower gels. It smells good, feels good (it has some dead sea salt in it and feels more cleansing than creamy shower gels) and... you can share it with your boyfriend. Seriously, the smell is really neutral, me and my boyfriend both used and liked it. Well, yes, he prefers his sporty and manly shower gels, but he doesn't mind using this one either.
Carlo di Roma Nail Polish Remover
It's crap. If you're patient, it removes regular nail polish, but it took me maybe 20 minutes and 5 cotton pads to remove a glitter one.
L'Oreal Hydrafresh Active Moisturising Gel Cream
At first I really liked L'Oreal face creams, but I don't really dig them anymore... They're nice and moisturising, yes, but the smell of this one is just too strong. I mean... Really strong. And I'm really careful with over-scented products on my face (BUT I still adore my Bourjois Healthy Mix, despite the overpowering fruity scent).

Morgan de Toi Love Love EdT
I wrote about this in my perfume collection post HERE.
Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine Body Lotion
It's my favourite perfume's body lotion. Smells exactly like the perfume, wrote about the perfume HERE.
The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Butter
I wrote about this in my TBS body butters post HERE.

Rimmel Nail Treat Base & Top Coat
Didn't do anything for me, the nail polish chipped like crazy the next day. Now I'm trying out OPI Ridge Filler and Top Coat, loving them... I can do a review on them if anyone's interested.
Palmer's Medicated Lip Butter
My favourite thing about this lip butter is the smell. I don't really enjoy the shine it gives to my lips (my boyfriend used it once and it looked like he had stolen my lip gloss... ) and it feels kind of greasy. But that didn't stop me from buying the dark chocolate & cherry version, which I'm currently using... Also, I'd like to add that it's 92,7% petrolatum. Not that impressed with that.

Samples and travel sizes:

Dr. Hauschka Facial Toner
I'd buy this if it didn't cost around 30 euros for 100 ml. It's really calming and soothing and I don't feel like rinsing my face after I've used this. Usually the toners leave a sticky feeling on my skin and I just can't stand that. Leave me some good facial toner recommendations in the comments, thank you! :)
Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream
To me this was disgusting. It was so so so SO greasy, the smell was awful and it left my face shiny, oily... I didn't bother to find out what skin type it's meant for, but I don't think it said it was just for dry skin or anything. Mine is normal to combination, if anyone's interested. :)

Also, an update on my Project 10 Pan. I failed... miserably. I used up the perfume, threw away the blush (it was really old and I realized it broke me out - as soon as I stopped using it the redness on my cheeks was gone!) and everything rest is still going strong. I decided that I won't be doing any more Project 10 Pan's - I just get mad at myself for not using up anything and I don't enjoy having to use a product when I really want to use something else.
Instead, in the beginning of every month I will collect a selection of products in my little basket and try to use them more often. Then we'll just see if they come up in my monthly empties post or not. :) And I don't have to feel bad about failing... I hate failing. :(

We'll see if I have any makeup related products in my March empties, but I already have a feeling that I will. ;)

Eesti keeles

Need on tooted, millele ma suutsin veebruaris otsa peale teha. Normaalsel inimesel oleks vist kahju kui mõni toode otsa saab ja uue peab muretsema, aga minu jaoks on tuubist viimase tilga pigistamine hea tunne - nagu ma oleksin midagi saavutanud. Tean-tean, see kõlab nii-iii imelikult, aga need, kellel on kodus paar sahtlitäit või enam erinevaid iluvidinaid teavad, millist rahulolu annab tõestus, et sa ei osta endale asju lihtsalt vaatamiseks, vaid kasutad need ka reaalselt lõpuni.

Veebruaris meigitooteid pole, aga kogus on ikkagi minu meelest täitsa tubli.

Palmolive Thermal Spa Mineral Massage dušigeel
See on tõenäoliselt üks mu lemmikuid dušigeele - vähemalt üks sellistest, mida olen korduvalt ostnud. Mulle meeldib selle lõhn ja fakt, et see on pisut teralisema koostisega. Tunnen, et sellised on pisut "puhastavamad" kui kreemjad ja pehmed dušigeelid-kreemid. Muide, oma üpris neutraalse lõhna tõttu sobib see ka hästi noormehega jagamiseks. Minu noormehe suust tulid selle suunas igatahes kiidusõnad.
Carlo di Roma küünelakieemaldaja
Kannatlikult kasutades saab see tavalisest küünelakist jagu, kuid glitter-küünelakki eemaldasin ma sellega 20 minutit. Ei soovita. Ühtlasi, see kuivatab küüsi ja iga kord pärast küünelaki eemaldamist ma lausa tormasin kätekreemi järele.
L'Oreal Hydrafresh geelkreem
Kui ma alguses kiitsin L'Oreali kreeme tublisti, siis nüüd olen ma nendest lahku kasvanud. Ma ei tea, kas seetõttu, et kasutasin nüüd Triple Active asemel Hydrafresh'i, aga see on liiga tugeva lõhnaga kreem. Meeletult tugeva lõhnaga! Niisutamises muidugi tubli, aga miks ma peaks oma näole mingit lõhna peale panema? See tundub nagu purgitäis keemiat (mida ta ka on... ) ja rohkem ma L'Oreali näokreeme ei osta.
Morgan de Toi Love Love parfüüm
Arvustus SIIN.
Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine kehakreem
Ühe mu lemmikparfüümi kreem, lõhna arvustus samal, eelmisel lingil.
The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom kehavõi
Arvustus SIIN.
Rimmel Nail Treat alus- ja pealislakk
Ma ei tea... Minu meelest see oma tööd ei teinud ja küünelakk hakkas juba järgmisel päeval küüntega hüvasti jätma. Praegu kasutan OPI tooteid ja olen väga rahul!
Palmer's Medicated Lip Butter
Väga mõnusa lõhnaga, aga kuidagi võine ja jääb huultel liialt läikima. Kui mu kallim seda laenas, nägi ta välja, nagu ta oleks salaja mu huuleläiget peale pannud. Teiseks, selle põhikoostisosa on parafiin, nii et pole just suurem asi toode... Mis aga ei takistanud mind tumeda šokolaadi ja kirsi versiooni ostmast. Kasutan seda hetkel ja see on imemõnusa lõhna ja maitsega.

Kasutasin ära ka kaks testrit, mõlemad Dr. Hauschkalt. Näovesi on imemõnus, hea neutraalse lõhnaga ning nägu ei "kisu" pärast. Tavaliselt olen ma kõikvõimalikud näoveed kasutamata jätnud, sest pärast on kas kiskuv või kleepuv tunne ja tahaks näo uuesti puhtaks loputada. Mis puutub küdooniakreemi, siis see oli suhteliselt... ebameeldiv. Alustades lõhnast ja kahtlasest värvusest ja lõpetades sellega, et mu nägu läikis nagu küpsetusvorm pärast võiga määrimist.

p.s. Mis puutub mu Project 10 Pan-i, siis ma kukkusin üpris haledalt läbi. Sain aru, et selline sa-tohid-kasutada-ainult-seda-põsepuna teema ei istu mulle. Selle asemel panen iga kuu alguses mõningad tooted ühte eraldi korvikesse ja püüan need ka lõpuni kasutada - näis siis, kas need jõuavad ka kuu lõpus mu "empties" postitusse. Olen endiselt teel toodete hulga vähendamise poole, see teema jätkub. ;) Kirjutasin sellest kõigest täpsemalt SIIN.

Kõik! Huh, ma puhkan nüüd sõrmi ja siis pistan pöidlad pihku, et saaksin teile märtsi lõpus ka otsa saanud meigividinatest rääkida. :)

#2 My life through Instagram

Can't wait to wear them when it's spring/summer, but until then we have nothing but snow and some more snow

babyface

It's already Easter in Marks & Spencer!

Yes, I did buy this furry knit. :)

Turned 22 this month!

Some of my extreme cooking skills...

2012-02-28T15:35:00.000+02:00

They didn't have Snickers ice cream, so I made some myself. Beat that! I promise my cooking skills are actually a bit better than that. :D

On my nails: OPI "Fly"

2012-02-27T10:18:00.000+02:00

A gorgeous aqua from Nicki Minaj collection. Also, I tried "Metallic 4 Life" on top of it.

Outfit: My favourite type of skirt

2012-02-26T21:46:00.000+02:00

I got this skirt about a month ago from Stradivarius. The fact that it was on sale was an added bonus. This is my favourite kind of skirt - it's high wasted, has pockets and reminds me of tulips. Also, I'm really liking this colour lately. To be honest, this outfit is as simple as it gets, but that's what you see me wearing most days - no fuzzing around with colours and awesome accessories until it's warmer outside. Well, yes, I still consider my fake Rocco an awesome accessory.

Selline tulpi meenutav seelik on üks mu lemmikuid, alustades kõrgest värvlist ja lõpetades faktiga, et sel on taskud. Sain selle seeliku juba mõnda aega tagasi Stradivariuse allahindluselt ja sellest saati on mulle ka see värv väga meeldima hakanud, tõenäoliselt hakkab seda mu garderoobis tihemini esinema (otsin juba vaikselt salli... ). Kannatage veel pisut - soojemate ilmadega tulevad ka ägedamad outfit-postitused! Jahedal ajal on kõik mu seljas lihtsalt musta värvi ja ma ei viitsi aksessuaaridega niimoodi tegeleda nagu soojemal ajal - need jäävad ju praegu niikuinii mantli alla peitu. Üks mu lemmikuid on aga endiselt mu fake Alexander Wang Rocco.

Step into my room!

2012-02-25T13:18:00.001+02:00

Yes, you're dealing with a Potter fan. ;)

I'll never get enough of these shows. Whenever there's an episode on TV, I watch it... Even if I've seen it a million times...

A jar full of fashion quotes

I asked you to leave me your requests and I got exactly two. :D But that's okay, I'll do one of them - as for my wardrobe, I won't be doing a post about my clothes and accessories, instead I'll try to do more outfit posts in the future. It wouldn't be interesting if I showed you everything at once, wouldn't it?
As you can see, I didn't do a whole overview of my room - I'm showing you my favourite parts instead. :)

Palusin teil mulle kirjutada, millised postitusi te siin veel näha tahaks ja sain täpselt kaks palvet. :D Aga sellest pole midagi, sest üht neist (ülalolevat siis... ) oli väga tore teha. Selle asemel, et toauksel seistes üks klõps teha, otsisin detaile, mis mind ja mu tuba kõige paremini iseloomustaksid. Mis puutub teise palvesse, n-ö riidekapipostitusse, siis seda ma ei tee - püüan selle asemel edaspidi tihemini outfit-pilte teha. Kui ma kõik riidedja aksessuaarid korraga ära näitaks, poleks ju hiljem enam huvitav?
Aga jätkuvalt ootan teie soove kommentaaridesse. :)

My new must-have: theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer

2012-02-24T18:57:00.001+02:00

This is the second birthday present my sister got me. I've been wanting theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer for a while now and I was so happy to finally get it. I've never owned a highlighter before, so you can imagine my excitement when I was trying it out for the first time. It's an amazing multi-tasking product. The texture is soft ans silky, not dry and powdery. I use it to highlight my cheekbones, browbones, my nose and even my cupid's bow. But you could also use it as a shimmery eyeshadow. Now that I've wore this twice I will never go back - a good highlighter can add so much! Plus, let's just focus on the packaging for a second, it's SO fun! I really want to try out some of theBalm's blushes as well. :)
If you don't have a highlighter, but are interested in trying out some, I suggest you check this one out. :)

Mainisin eelmises postituses, et mu õde tegi mulle kaks väga lahedat sünnipäevakingitust. Olin theBalm'i Mary-Lou Manizer särapuudrit juba mõnda aega tahtnud ja nüüd kuulub see mu meigikollektsiooni! Kuna mul pole varem ühtegi higlighter-toodet olnud, oli mul eriti huvitav sellega katsetada. Võin öelda, et olen äärmiselt rahul - see on mõnusa siidise tekstuuriga, mitte kuiv ja "puudrine". Mina kasutan seda kulmuluul, põsesarnadel, ninal ja ülahuule juures. Pakend väidab, et seda saab ka lauvärvina kasutanud, kuid ma pole veel proovinud - olen aga üpris kindel, et näiteks silma sisenurkadesse panduna "ärataks" see pilgu rohkem ellu. Olen nüüd kaks päeva seda kandnud ja usun, et enam tagasi ei lähe - highlighter annab jumele nii palju juurde! Soovitan. :)

Nicki Minaj Minis by OPI

2012-02-23T19:49:00.002+02:00

My sister is very supportive of my blog and she's mostly the first person I share my excitement over new products or anything else in the beauty world with. She got me two really cool presents for birthday and I just got them today. I'll share the first one with you. I'm really excited about these Nicki Minaj minis, they're absolutely gorgeous, the lime green "Dit It On 'Em" being my absolute favourite... might get the full size for summer. "Pink Friday" is really pigmented bubblegum pink, one coat would be enough, with others you need two coats. "Fly" is a gorgeous aqua colour and I can't wait to mix "Metallic 4 Life" with all other colours to create cool effects.
p.s. I'll do a separate post of all of them, but if someone's really annoyed with my Instagram effect, you can easily google the polishes to see the colours better.

Pink Friday, Did It On 'Em, Metallic 4 Life, Fly

Mu õde on mu blogi suhtes nii-nii toetav ja alati üks esimesi, kellega ma oma ilutoodete vaimustust ja muid blogijutte jagan. Ta tegi mulle kaks väga lahedat sünnipäevakingitust (valisin mõlemad ise välja... ) ja täna jagan teiega esimest neist.
Ma pidin selle minikomplekti saama, sest need värvid tõmbasid mind magnetina ligi. ERITI "Did It On 'Em", mis oleks suveks täiesti ideaalne... Võib-olla peaksin selle igaks juhuks täissuuruses ostma? "Pink Friday" on imeilus heleroosa, mille puhul piisab muide ühest kihist. "Fly" on ilus ja omapärane värv, kuid näen end seda kõige vähem niisama kandmas. Komplektis on ka "Metallic 4 Life" - tahan seda juba teistega kombineerida ja vaadata, milliseid ägedaid tulemusi ma saan.
p.s. Teen kõigist kindlasti aja jooksul ka eraldi postituse, kuid kui mu Instagrami efekt kellelegi väga närvidele käib, siis võib neid toone guugeldada. :)
p.s. 2 - Mina sain enda komplekti Tallinna Kaubamajast ja see maksab seal 16 eurot.

Leave me your requests!

2012-02-23T16:49:00.004+02:00

I have a long weekend ahead and I want to work on a few blog posts. I have a few on my mind, but I want to see if you guys have any requests as well. Do you want any reviews, collections or whatever else on here? Please leave them in the comments. :)

Pikk nädalavahetus on ees ja ma tahan kindlasti pisut rohkem ka blogiasju teha (päevavalgust ära kasutada!). Mõningad asjad on mul ka endal mõttes, aga ma oleksin väga rõõmus, kui te jätaksite enda soovid ja palved siia kommentaaridesse. Võtan neid kindlasti arvesse ja kui neid on võimalik kohe teha, siis jõuaksid need postitused teieni järgmise nädala jooksul. :)

p.s. Paremal on ka mu Formspringi link - seal võite küsida minult mida iganes.

Her Morning Elegance

2012-02-22T20:48:00.001+02:00

Before you start reading, please watch this video (on Youtube if possible, it's a bit bigger then):

Basically, over ten months ago, before we were even togehter I gave my boyfriend a Youtube link with one of my most favourite songs, Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance. I wanted him to see the video - it's put together of photos and I think it's simply amazing.

He, being clever as he is, discovered that all the photos are available in a gallery, Her Morning Elegance Gallery. There and then he decided that if we're ever going to be togehter, this would be my first birthday present from him. And it was! I can't even begin to explain how surprised I was, I teared up and laughed and couldn't believe it. He even had the frame custom made. Am I blessed with an amazing boyfriend or what? :) This is such an amazing thing, it even has the photographer's and Oren Lavie's signature on the certificate - there's just one of these and it's hanging on my bedroom wall.

Eesti keeles:

Enne lugema asumist vaadake palun ülalolevat videot (soovitatavalt Youtube'ist ja pisut suuremana). :)

Enne kui me üldse koos hakkasime olema, saatsin ma kallimale ühe oma lemmikloo ja -video lingi. Video oli kokku pandud fotodest ja minu jaoks oli kogu idee ja teostus hämmastav ja meeletult kaunis.
Tema, kaval nagu ta on, märkas, et videos olevad fotod on paigutatud ühte erilisse galeriisse, täpsemini Her Morning Elegance galeriisse. Sel samal hetkel, teadmata, kas meist üldse paar saab, otsustas ta, et kui kõik peaks hästi minema, saab foto sealt galeriist olema minu esimene sünnipäevakingitus temalt. Ja nii läks! Ta rääkis mulle terve loo hommikul, mil ma kingi avasin, pisaraid pühkisin ja naeratust suult ei saanud. Fotoga oli kaasas sertifikaat Oren Lavie ja fotograafi allkirjadega, mis tunnistas, et seda fotot on maailmas vaid üks ja see kuulub nüüd mulle. Kallim oli isegi raamiga pusinud, tellides eraldi täpselt sellise, mis minu toaga sobiks. Mul pole sõnu - ta on imeline! Ja see kingitus jääb igaveseks minu magamistoa seinale.

Review: Johnson's Face Care

2012-02-21T21:24:00.002+02:00

I got these Johnson's Face Care products in late December and have been using them ever since. The main reason I reached for them was the price. I was considering buying one of my old favourites, but saw that I can get both of these with a lower price, so instead of my Nivea Young face wash, these pink ones got to come home with me. I can't remember the exact prices, but both of them were around 2-3 euros.

Since I use them together, I'll review them together as well. To me they make a perfect cleansing combo.

When I'm wearing makeup I start up with the Gentle Exfoliating Wash. On the bottle it says: "Our Gentle Exfoliating Wash, enriched with essential, skin loving minerals and vitamins, and rounded micro beads, gently polishes away dull lifeless skin whilst caring for all skin types." It has really small beeds in it and even though it says gentle on the tube, you shouldn't rub too hard. That's when I end up with red cheeks. I find it removes makeup really well. The smell is alright, but nothing special - you can definitely tell it has some really cheap ingredients in it.

After I've washed my face with the scrub I follow up with the Refreshing Gel Wash. On the bottle it says: "Our Refreshing Gel Wash, enriched with essential, skin loving minerals and vitamins, gently lifts away impurities whilst caring for normal skin."I just find tht my skin feels a lot softer and fresher after this. The scrub doesn't really have any refreshing or moisturizing benefits. It has the same smell as the exfoliating wash.

I skip the scrub and only use the gel wash in the mornings and on the days I'm not wearing any makeup. Any other day I use them together, since I feel the gel wash doesn't really get rid of all the makeup. It does get rid of mascara tho (no commend about waterproof mascara, I've never used one).

All in all, I'd say they're proper cleansers if you're on a budget, but if you want to pamper your skin with something of a better quality or if you're really conscious about the ingredients you put on your skin, I would skip Johnson's Daily Essentials products.

Eesti keeles

Ostsin need Johnson's näopuhastustooted detsembri lõpus ja olen neid sellest saati kasutanud. Peamine põhjus miks nad mu ostukorvi jõudsid, oli hind - need kaks kokku maksid vähem kui Nivea näopuhastustoode, mille järele tegelikult läksin. Kumbki maksis midagi 3 euro kandis, aga pead ma ei anna - see oli juba paar kuud tagasi. Kuna kasutan neid koos, siis kirjutan ka arvustuse korraga.

Kui mul on meik peal olnud, alustan oma näo puhastamist kooriva näopesuvahuga (Gentle Exfoliating Wash). Selles on äärmiselt peened terad ja ehkki see lubab olla õrnalt kooriv, tuleks seda kasutada pigem õrnema käega - liiga tugevasti hõõrudes on põsed pärast ärritunud, punased ja sinu peale solvunud. Lõhn pole midagi hullu, kuid ometi on sellest aru saada, et toode sisaldab lademetes odavaid koostisaineid. Leian, et see eemaldab efektiivselt meigi, kuid nägu lausa igatseb pärast selle kasutamist niisutuse järele.

Pärast koorivat vahtu kasutan näopesugeeli (Refreshing Gel Wash). Selles on ka imetillukesed roosad mummukesed, mis pestes katki lähevad, kuid ütlen ausalt - need on seal tõenäoliselt vaid ilu pärast. Pärast näopesugeeli kasutamist tundub nahk pehmem ja säravam. See ongi põhjus, miks ma neid tooteid koos kasutan. Esimene eemaldab meigi, teine annab niisutust ja sära. Hommikuti ning päevadel, mil ma meiki ei kanna, kasutan vaid näopesugeeli. Meigiga see toode üksinda hakkama ei saa, aga tavalise näopuhastusega küll.

Tegu on täiesti tavaliste ja klassikaliste näopuhastustoodetega. Neile, kes kvaliteedi eest suuri summasid välja käia ei taha ja kes koostisosade nimekirja poes ei uuri, sobiks see kindlasti - minu meelest on need küllaltki õrnatoimelised. Et ma ise olen aga viimasel ajal tähelepanelikum, mida ma oma näole panen, siis jäävad need kaks mu viimasteks Johnson'si toodeteks. Mu õrn näonahk ei vaja sulfaate ja muud jama. :)

Birthday presents!

2012-02-20T21:13:00.000+02:00

Saturday was my birthday and I spent a pleasant day with my boyfriend and my family. I also got some really nice birthday presents that I thought I'd share with you. My boyfriend's present was so amazing that I'll dedicate a whole post on it later, but today I'll show you what my family got me. I bought the perfume myself and my main present isn't here yet - I decided to get a new phone and I'll be able to get my hands on it in a few days. :)

A book from my boyfriend's sisters. They also got me a bottle of Baileys. They made the night before my birthday so amazing. I thought we were just going to have a cosy pizza night, but they surprised me with presents and a cake with 22 candles on it. I honestly can't remember the last time I blew out candles on my birthday... They're just too sweet!

My family knows what I like and so does my boyfriend. That's why I ended up with over 40 Suffeli chocolates on my birthday... :D

A beautiful Anne Klein watch from my parents!

My aunt got me a pale pink silk scarf from Vietnam and this beautiful necklace. She said these stones will protect me against harm.

My brother ordered me The Hunger Games series! I'm so so so so happy and really excited to start reading - a cup of peppermint tea with honey and a book will be my only two plans for tonight. Come on, if Stephen King says he couldn't stop reading? ;)

That's it! I had a really nice birthday and I absolutely adore my boyfriend and my family - I feel so blessed to have them in my life. The presents were just a bonus, a nice bonus. :)

Näitan teile, mis mulle 22. sünnipäevaks kingiti. Mu kallima kingitus oli nii eriline, et sellest võite peagi eraldi postitust oodata, praegu aga pere ja kallima pere kingitused. Mu suurim kink, telefon, jõuab minuni alles 2-3 päeva pärast.

Nüüd aga teen endale suure kruusitäie piparmünditeed meega ja asun "The Hunger Games" triloogia esimese raamatu juurde. Ma ei mäleta, millal ma viimati raamatu lugemise pärast nii elevil olin... Tõenäoliselt siis, kui Dan Browni "The Lost Symbol" välja tuli... Muide, Eestis on need raamatud ka täitsa olemas, nimeks "Näljamängud". Neid on väga palju kiidetud ja peagi on ka esimene film välja tulemas. Olen üpris kindel, et ka mina naudin neid raamatuid väga, sest üldiselt ei jäta paljukiidetud teosed mind külmaks. :)

Veebruari Glambox!

2012-02-18T22:00:00.002+02:00

Selle kuu Glambox jõudis minuni sünnipäeval, mis oli armas lisakingitus. :) See saabus nii nagu eelmiegi - roosa lipsuga pruunis karbikeses, tooted roosasse siidpaberisse mähitud. Koos toodetega oli kaasas kirjake, mis tutvustas tooteid ja teatas, et Glambox maksab edaspidi kaks eurot rohkem, et nad saaksid meile "veelgi paremaid tooteid pakkuda". Jätan järgmise kuu tellimuse vahele ja vaatan, kas hinnatõus õigustab end või on tegu klassikalise trikiga - miski uus ja lahe paisatakse normaalse hinnaga müüki ja kui on juba truud tellijad olemas, tõstetakse hinda.
Aga asume karbikese sisu juurde. Nagu eelmiselgi kuul, oli selles Geisha šokolaad ja vist valentinipäeva puhul oli sinna pistetud ka One kondoom. Viimast ma siin arvustama ei hakka. ;)

Paistab, et sel kuul pühenduti päris korralikult Bourjois' toodete tutvustamisele - mul polnud selle vastu midagi, Bourjois on äärmiselt mõnus ja kvaliteetne firma, mille tooteid olen ennegi proovinud. Mulle vaatas karbist vastu kolm minisuuruses toodet.

Bourjois Mini Effect 3D Lip Gloss 1,7 ml / € 3.30

"See suurepärane mobiilikaunistus annab Su huultele värskuse ning suurepärase 3D efektilise volüümi ja sära!"

Armas väike tuubike ja esmapilgul mu lemmik asi selle kuu Glamboxis. Selline minisuurus on ideaalne taskusse pistmiseks - mobiili külge, nagu pakendil soovitatud, ma seda vast kinnitama ei hakkaks. Minu "Les Nudes" on väga kena loomuliku tooniga ja pigem kreemjas kui kleepuv. Lõhn on üpris magus. :)

Bourjois Mini küünelakk 3 ml / € 2.95

"Fashion rules with these little beauties! Armsad ja käekotis üldsegi mitte ruumi võtvad küünelakid on saadaval mitmeküllastes värvitoonides!"

Armas väike küünelakk, kuid paraku kaotasin kileümbrise ära ega oska öelda selle konkreetse laki või tooni nime. Kui järele proovin on oodata "On my nails: Bourjois ???" postitust. :D

Bourjois Mini Eyeshadow 1,5g / € 3.30

"Suurepärane minilauvärv Bourjois'ilt! Kasuta seda üksikult või miksi teiste lauvärvidega, et saavutada eksklusiivne ja jalust rabav look."

Hele lavendlitooni lauvärv, mida on äärmiselt kerge hajutada ja see särab üpris tublisti, andes ka kerge kuma. Pakend on õnneks taassuletav, nii et ma ei pea muretsema, kus seda väikest lahtist lauvärvi hoida - ütleks, et kogus on väga korralik - 1,5 grammi lauvärvi naljalt otsa ei saa. Oleksin õnnelikum olnud mõne veidi neutraalsema tooni üle, kuid küll ma ka sellele kasutust leian. :)

TIGI Bed Head Colour Combat šampoon ja palsam 250 ml + 200 ml € 33.80

"Tigi värvi lukustavad ja taastavad šampoon ja palsam"
Ei oska nende kohta veel palju öelda, sest ei kavatse neid niipea proovida - hoian kõik sämplid oma varsti aset leidva reisi jaoks, et ma ei peaks ainsatki pudelikest ja lisagrammi kaasa vedama (kavatsen šopata-šopata-šopata!). Minu juustele piisab nendest pakikestest kaheks kasutuskorraks ja proovin neid hea meelega - mul on ju värvitud juuksed. ;)

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash 150 ml € 5.24

"Puhastaval India neemipuu eksraktiga puhastusgeelil on seebivaba taimne koostis, mis puhastab õrnalt mustuse ja ennetab punnikesi. Saadaval kõigis suuremates poodides."
Ma ei tea kui taimne koostis toote teine põhiline koostisosa Sodium Laureth Sulfate on, aga proovin järele - olen uutele nahahooldustoodetele alati avatud. :)

Eminence Organic Skin Care Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub 250 ml € 54.30

"Looduslik mustika-soja suhkrukoorija koorib ja varustab nahka toitainete, mineraalide ja flavonoididega. Kanna õhuke kiht niiskele nahale ringjate liigutustega."
Klassikaline suhkrukoorija, ei midagi vapustavat. Lõhnalt meenutab 1-krooniseid nätse ja lutsukaid, mida väiksena kodu lähedalt putkast ostsin. Jällegi, proovin kindlasti ära, aga rõõmsam olen väikese potsiku üle, mida saan hiljem kasutada reisides kreemi või jumeka kaasa võtmiseks. Mis asjad on flavonoidid?

Naturals Handmade Bath Salt 175g € 4

"Käsitsi valmistatud naturaalne looduslik vannisool teeb iga vanniskäigu eriliseks. Kasuta terve kotike ühe vanniskäigu peale või veerand kotikest pediküüri või jalavanni tegemiseks."
Igasugune vannikraam mulle meeldib, tõenäoliselt läheb see käiku jalavannides. Soolal puudub igasugune lõhn, mis on pisut kurb - mulle meeldivad mõnusa lõhnaga vannitooted.

Veebruari Glamboxi juures meeldis mulle enim, et tooteid oli laias valikus ja igale maitsele - oli meiki, nahahooldust, spaad ning juukse- ja näohooldust. Üldiselt väga tubli karbike, tekitas rohkem elevust kui eelmise kuu oma. :) Nagu juba ütlesin, siis järgmise kuu karbike jääb mul hetkel tellimata - vaatan, millise erinevuse hinnatõus toob. 156 krooni 5-6 sämpli või minitoote eest on juba päris palju, selle eest saaks ühe kvaliteetse meigi- või juukseasja.

22 white roses!

2012-02-18T17:28:00.004+02:00

Happy birthday to me! :)

I'm having the best day, surrounded by the sweetest people. More b-day related posts coming soon. ;)

Something in my heart!

2012-02-14T20:11:00.003+02:00

Happy Valentine's Day everyone, whether you spend it with your family or friends, your "other half" or your cat - why not with all of them? I send thousands of hugs on your way, I'm so thankful to have you all reading my blog! :)

I had a casual day, work from 9 to 5 and now a casual night in with my boyfriend. I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day, but I think it's a cute day anyway so I made a card for my boyfriend, got some heart-shaped chocolates for my family and wore my girliest socks. I think it's enough. :)
L. surprised me at work with a red rose, my favourite sparkling wine and a comic strip he made himself (he has a comic blog too, you can chek it out HERE).
p.s. The cute marshmallows are from my dear mom!

Ilusat valentinipäeva kõigile, tähistate te seda siis oma pere või sõpradega, kallima või kassiga - miks mitte kõigiga korraga? Saadan teile tuhat tugevat kallistust, olen nii rõõmus, et te mu blogi lugemas käite!
Minul oli täitsa tavaline päev - töö üheksast viieni ja nüüd koos kallimaga kodus ja vaatame vast "Notting Hillli",üht mu absoluutset lemmikut! Suurelt ma valentinipäeva ei tähista - tegin kallimale kaardi, kinkisin perele südamekujulisi šokolaade ja panin jalga oma kõige tüdrukulikumad sokid.
L. üllatas mind tööjuures lille, mu lemmiku vahuveini ja enda tehtud koomiksiga (tal on ka koomiksiblogi, mida võite näha SIIN).
p.s. Nunnud vahukommid on mu emmelt. :)

Tired of chipped nail polish...

2012-02-13T20:34:00.003+02:00

I fail to have my nail polish flawless for over two days - then it starts chipping. I blamed my crappy base/top coat by Rimmel which I just ran out of and also my own nails - they're not naturally smooth and have a lot of ridges. So today I bought OPI Ridge Filler to have a smooth base for nail polish and OPI Top Coat to make the polish stay on longer. I'll let you know how this works out!
Have you tried these? Have do you feel about these products? Also, do you have any tips on how to make nail polish stay on longer?

Mul sai lõplikult kõrini sellest, et mul ei püsinud ükski küünelakk veatult peal kauem kui kaks päeva (liialdan, OPI "Suzi and The Lifeguard teeb seda, kui üks õhuke kiht panna). Kuna mu vana Rimmeli alus- ja pealislakk ei teinud absoluutselt oma tööd ja selle lõputilk muutus rõvedaks ja kleepuvaks, siis läksin täna Kaubamajja, et endale midagi korralikku soetada. Valisin OPI Ridge Filler'i, mis peaks muutma küünepunna ühtlaselt siledaks, nii et lakil on sellele hea kinnituda ning OPI pealislaki Top Coat, et lakk kenasti läigiks ja kaitstud oleks - mõlemad maksid 10,6 eurot (mulle vähem, sest mul on sünnipäevanädal ja Partnerkaardi soodustus -10%, hihihii). Ma pole kumbagi veel kasutanud, kuid kavatsen täna ühe põhjaliku maniküüri ette võtta. Annan kindlasti teada, kas need annavad oodatud tulemusi.
Kas olete ise emba-kumba neist toodetest proovinud? Mis "trikke" teie kasutate, et lakk kauem peal püsiks?

10 pictures of the girl behind this blog

2012-02-10T13:38:00.003+02:00

Taking pictures of myself is something I've done for years now... Some might think it's weird, but I really enjoy it. So tell me - would you like to see more?

Ma olen end pildistanud nii kaua kui ma mäletan... Mõne meelest võib see kummaline hobi olla, aga see on miski, mis mulle lihtsalt meeldib. Kas te tahaksite tulevikus veel selliseid pilte näha või peaksin piirduma piltidega ripsmetuššidest ja huulepulkadest? :D

Spring and Summer in Make Up Store

2012-02-09T20:04:00.001+02:00

I was invited to check out Make Up Store's spring/summer collection today. It was really fun - wine, snacks and beautiful makeup, please tell me what more would a beauty girl want? I snapped some photos for you to enjoy. Some are of the collections, some I just randomly snapped in the store. I love Make Up Store, it's so classy and beautiful. :)

Well, of course my hand looked like this after...

blush "Pink Reef", microshadows "Tradition" and "Algea", eyepencils "Wave" and "Water Spring", lip gloss "Dahlia", apple/green tea salt polish, Hydranight night cream, The Creme day cream, Shiny hair wax

Also, I came home with a really generous goodie bag. Funny thing with the blush tho... I fell in love with this right away and asked when it will be available in stores. In March, they said. When we said goodbye, I told that I was going back in March to buy the blush and the lady smiled and nodded. Well, she's a clever one, isn't she? "Pink Reef" was already hiding in my bag. :)

Käisin täna Make Up Store'i kevad-suviseid kollektsioone piilumas. Klõpsasin mõned pildid kollektsioonidest ja ka teistest toodetest poest - ma armastan Make Up Store'i, see on võrreldes teiste kosmeetikabrändidega kuidagi eriti stiilne, kvaliteedist rääkimata.
Lahkusin ürituselt väikese kingikotikesega. Põsepunaga on armas lugu. Mulle hakkas see kohe väga meeldima, kui seda näidati ning ma uurisin pressiesindajalt, millal see poodidesse jõuab. "Märtsis," vastas ta. Lubasin lahkudes, et lähen märtsis tagasi põsepuna ostma ja ta naeratas ning noogutas. Paras kavalpea - "Pink Reef" peitis end juba mu kotikeses. :)

Kas teie kasutate mingeid Make Up Store'i tooteid?

Current Favourites!

2012-02-09T03:21:00.000+02:00

I've been working on a post about Dr. Hauschka for two weeks now... I had to try the products out, write the reviews and so on... It has dragged on for so long that I'm just not feeling it anymore. It felt like an obligation and it just wasn't fun for me anymore. But I want my blog to be fun, I want to enjoy writing these posts for you guys! So, today I wanted to share my current favourites with you - nothing really new for many beauty girls out there, but they're new for me and I'd love to share! :)

Avon lipstick "Carnation" - this is my absolute favourite lipstick colour. It's great for both day and night, it stays on for a decent amount of time and it's sooo creamy! Also, the price is really cheap for such a good lipstick. If you ever get a chance to order something from Avon, I'd recommend checking out their lipsticks, especially this one!

Batiste Dry Shampoo - at first I didn't believe in dry shampoos. Why wouldn't you just wash your hair? Well - now I know why people love them! It's been so hectic lately and since I wear warm winter hats all the time, my hair gets greasy quite fast. When I wake up with hair that really needs a wash, but just don't have time for it, I spray a bit of this in my roots, quickly rub it in, tease my hair and put it in a messy bun. Also, I like to use it just before teasing, since it makes it so much easier. I have dark, almost black hair, but haven't had a problem with it being too white - it goes away with rubbing, unless you overuse it.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer - Can you believe I got this for just 3 euros? I couldn't believe it myself, since it's originally quite pricey and beauty bloggers have hyped about this product so much in the past. It makes my skin so soft and silky and it's much easier to apply foundation then. I really don't want to run out, so I only use it when I have a long day ahead of me. Love this product! Especially the packaging - I think it's classy, I'm not into colorful packagings that much.

That's it! :) Also, what's your favourite dry shampoo?

Eesti keeles

Olen juba kaks nädalat ühe põhjaliku Dr. Hauschka toodete arvustusega mässanud, kuid see venis nii pikaks (pidin ju tooteid proovima ka), et kaotas igasuguse võlu. Niipea kui postitus kujuneb minu jaoks pigem kohustuseks, loobun ma sellest - ma tahan, et blogimine oleks lõbus, sest nii on ka teil parem lugeda. :) Täna jagan teiega oma viimase aja kolme lemmiktoodet. Iga ilumaailma tüdruk on neist vast juba kuulnud, kuid minu jaoks on need uued.

Avoni huulepulk toonis "Carnation" - ma armastan seda huulepulka! Kirjutasin neist mõned päevad tagasi ka lähemalt. See toon on ideaalne nii päevaseks kui õhtuseks ajaks, huulepulk on mõnusalt kreemjas ja püsib ilusti peal (kui sa just palju ei söö... nagu mina). Kui kellelgi peaks tekkima võimalus kunagi Avonist midagi tellida, siis soovitan kindlasti nende huulepulkadele pilgu peale visata.

Batiste kuivšampoon - tunnistan ausalt, et varem ei olnud mul kuivšampoonidesse usku. Mõtlesin, et inimesed võiks selle asemel lihtsalt... juukseid pesta. Ütleme nii, et sissemagatud hommikud ja tupeerimishullus on mind ümber veennud. See on täiesti asendamatu neil hetkedel, kui pole aega juukseid pesta, aga on vaja ruttu välja tormata. Mida ma teen, kui ärkan hommikul täiesti häbiväärses seisus juustega? Lasen juurtele pisut (paaluun ärge minge selle kasutamisega liiale!) kuivšampooni, tupeerin juukseid kergelt ja panen need sasitud krunni. Valmis! Mul on väga tumedad, peaaegu mustad juuksed ja minul pole selle valge värvusega veel probleeme tekkinud. Hõõrudes kaob see ruttu, kui sa just poolt pudelitäit korraga pähe ei lase.Ahjaa, ostsin enda oma Tallinna Kaubamajast. :)

Smashbox Photo Finish meigialuskreem - seda ei saa kahjuks Eestist ja hindki on üpris krõbe, aga minul õnnestus see saada KOLME euroga! Hihhiii. See teeb naha pehmeks ja siidjaks, mis teeb omakorda jumestuskreemi pealekandmise palju mõnusamaks. Et ma tahan seda võimalikult palju säästa, kasutan seda vaid siis, kui tean, et ees on pikk päev, mil tuleb kena välja näha. p.s. Ma ei kasuta tavalisel päeval kunagi primerit, aga ärge kellelegi rääkige, shh!

Ongi kõik! Kas teie olete mõnda kuivšampooni kasutanud ja mida te sellest arvate?

Do you want to smell like a Lush store?

2012-02-07T03:52:00.000+02:00

Every time I go to Lush I take a really deep breath - I just love the smell! I'm just happy for the people who work there. Those who work in fast food restaurants go home smelling like fries and grease, but they get to smell like amazing sweetness!

Well, I was recently introduced to The Body Shop's White Musk Libertine range. I was given the shower gel, I screwed the lid off, took a sniff and said: "WHAT!?" I'm telling you - this stuff smells exactly like a Lush store! To be sure, I smelled the perfume and the body lotion as well and they all smelled like Lush. On the bottle it says: "Fragranced with the White Musk Libertine, a blend of three musks combined with floral accords and a hint of Turkish Delight." It doesn't lather as much as some other shower gels, but it lathers enough. And this is also the first time I've felt that the smell of my shower gel lingers on my skin. So yeah, beat that - I can lie to people that I work in Lush now! Seriously, try this out - I can't possibly be the only one who made this connection?

Iga kord kui ma Lushi kauplusesse astun, hingan ma sügavalt sisse - ma jumaldan selle kaupluse lõhna. Ma mõtlen sellele, kuidas restoranis töötajad lähevad koju toidu järele lõhnates ja autode kallal nokkijad lõhnavad nagu mootoriõli ja ehitajad lõhnavad nagu... ehitustolm? Lushi töötajad viivad endaga koju kaasa imehea ja magusa aroomi.
Igatahes, mulle kingiti hiljuti dušigeel The Body Shopi White Musk Libertine sarjast. Niipea kui ma seda nuusutasin, tabas mind imeline äratundmine - ma vannun, see lõhnab täpselt nagu Lushi kauplus! Ma üldiselt ei võrdle The Body Shop'i ja Lushi omavahel, sest tegu on kahe täiesti erineva asjaga, kuid see pudelisse pistetud imeline lõhn vaid kinnitas mu armastust mõlema brändi vastu.
Dušigeel vahutab mõnusalt, kuid mitte liiga palju ja lõhn jääb veel mitmeteks tundideks nahale. Saan nüüd inimestele luisata, et töötan Lushis, hihihi.

A body scrub for chocoholics!

2012-02-05T14:59:00.001+02:00

I received a really nice gift from The Body Shop. I was interested in their new Chocomania range and was given the body scrub. Needless to say I was excited like a little kid - I've always been interested in TBS body scrubs, but I've never purchased one myself.

The Body Shop introduced the Chocomania range since Valentine's Day is coming up. I think it's a clever idea, don't chocolate and Valentine's Day go hand in hand? There's also a body butter, a body lotion, a shower cream, a lip butter and some heart-shaped soaps in the range. Since I've tried TBS body creams, butters and lip butters already, I was really lucky to receive something totally new.
The packaging is a classic TBS body scrub packaging. When I first opened this, I was all "wow" and "ahh" - the smell is a-ma-zing! It smells exactly like a chocolate pudding and it looked like one as well. I made my whole family smell this and they all liked it. It's not a fake chocolate smell - it's the real thing.

Since my shower is broken, I've only been taking baths lately. I took this with me and was surprised - it melted after 4-5 seconds of rubbing and didn't really scrub that much. I knew this couldn't be normal and thought that warm and wet skin might be the problem. I dried my body and gave it another go - this time it didn't melt as fast and I could scrub my skin as long as I wanted to. It felt nice - I knew I got rid of all the dead skin cells, but it didn't hurt my skin. The smell is absolutely gorgeous and once it's melted it leaves the skin so soft and moisturized. I've always been hesitated to buy an expensive body scrub, since I thought it would run out really fast - well, I only needed a little bit for my whole body! Maybe two or three table spoons? I love this product and since I only scrub my body maybe 2-3 times a month I have a feeling this will last me for quite some time. Now I'm already excited to try other smells too... Oh well, did I really need to fall in love with another The Body Shop product?

Eesti keeles:

Ma sain The Body Shopilt väga mõnusa kingituse. Seoses peai saabuva valentinipäevaga tutvustasid nad uut Chocomania kollektsiooni - mõnusat šokolaadist komplekti, mille tahaks sõna otseses mõttes nahka pista. Kollektsioonis on kehavõi, kehakoorija, huulepalsam, dušikreem, kehakreem ja šokolaadiseebid. Ma olen juba The Body Shopi kreeme, palsameid ja dušigeele proovinud, seega oli mul väga hea meel, et mulle kingiti just kehakoorija. Olen alati mõelnud, kas need võiksid head olla, kuid pole endale ise veel sealt kehakoorijat ostnud.

Koorija on klassikalises BS pakendis ja niipea kui ma sellelt korgi pealt keerasin, tungis mu ninna tugev šokolaadiaroom. See näeb välja täpselt nagu šokolaadipuding või -suflee. Sundisin tervet oma perekonda seda nuusutama ja kõik nõustusid, et lõhn on imeline.

Kasutasin seda vannis, sest mu dušš on juba mõnda aega katki. Olin algul väga üllatunud, sest jõudsin seda paar sekundit kehale hõõruda ja siis sulas see olematuks. Teadsin, et üks korralik kehakoorija ei peaks niimoodi toimima ja otsustasin, et asi on märjas ja vannisoojas kehas. Kuivatasin end ära ja proovisin uuesti - siis sain koorida nii kaua kui tahtsin. Niisiis - kasutage seda pigem kuival kehal.

Mul on hea meel, et ma sain lõpuks kogemuse BS kehakoorijatega ja sisetunne ütleb, et jään neid ka edaspidi kasutama. Ma ei saa lihtsalt nende lõhnade ja ilusate pakendite vastu! Varem pidasin ma seda liiga kalliks, sest uskusin, et ühest potsikust jätkub võib-olla maksimu kümneks korraks. Tegelikult kulus mul aga terve keha peale vaid umbes kaks-kolm supilusikatäit. Kuna koorin end umbes 2-3 korda kuus, siis jätkub sellest kindlasti pikemaks ajaks. Väga-väga mõnus koorija, mida julgen kindlasti soovitada. Pruuni värvuse tõttu tuleb lihtsalt dušš/vann pärast üle loputada. Pärast on keha niisutatud, pehme ja lõhnab pisut magusalt. :)

Avon lipsticks!

2012-02-04T14:08:00.000+02:00

I got a chance to order some Avon stuff through a colleague. I remember my mother having some tiny Avon lipstick samples in the past and me falling in love with one called "Carnation". I was flipping through the catalogue and saw this lipstick there. It was decided there and then. :) Since two lipsticks were €5,90 total, I ordered a light nude pink called "Pout" as well. I received these lipsticks a few days ago.

"Pout" & "Carnation"

I love the sleek black packaging, it's nice and I think the quality is quite good as well. The lipsticks have "Avon" embossed on them. The smell is nothing special, just a bit sweet but nothing really fascinating (maybe I'm spoiled by Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks - I love the smell!). They're really creamy and easy to apply, I found "Carnation" to be creamier than "Pout". Maybe because pout has really tiny and barely noticeable sparkles in it and "Carnation" is completely matte? They're really nice and soft on the lips.
"Pout" seems quite sheer when swatched on the skin, but on the lips it gives a beautiful nude colour. Put keep in mind, I tend to put a tiny bit of foundation on my lips before I put on lipstick - I find that the colour is much better when my naturally quite dark lips don't get in the way. :D

"Pout"

"Carnation" (it seems lighter than it really is)

For 2,95 a piece it was a really nice deal!

Have you ever tried Avon lipsticks?

Mulle sattus kätte Avoni kataloog ja ma sain töökaaslase kaudu sealt midagi tellida. Mäletasin, et mu emal oli kunagi terve peotäis pisikesi Avoni huulapulgatestreid ja ma armusin tooni "Carnation". Kasutasin selle täiesti lõpuni, kuid et ema siis enam Avonist ei tellinud, ei saanudki ma seda kunagi täissuuruses. Kataloogi lapates nägin seda huulepulka kohe ja kõik oli otsustatud. Et kaks huulepulka sai 5,90-ga, siis valisin endale ka tooni "Pout" - ilus, heleroosa nude, mille sarnast mul veel olnud pole.
Mulle meeldib väga nende huulepulkade pakend - klassikaline must ja huulepulkadele on graveeritud "Avon", mis annab ka pisut plusspunkte - mulle meeldivad väga sellised väikesed detailid.
Huulepulkadel pole mingit erilist lõhna, tavaline pisut magus lõhn. Need on väga kreemjad - "Carnation" on veidi kreemjam kui "Pout". Vast seetõttu, et "Pout"-is on õige pisut vaevumärgatavat sädelust. Mõlemad värvid olid väga hea katvusega. "Pout" pisut kahvatum, aga kui huultele enne õige pisut jumestuskreemi panna, on tulemus imeilus! Ma, muide, panen alati enne huulepulga pealekandmist huultele pisut jumestuskreemi. Mul on naturaalselt üpris tumedad huuled ja see aitab huulepulgavärvil paremini silma paista. :)
Ma ütleks, et 2,95 sellise huulepulga eest pole sugugi paha.

Kas teie olete Avoni huulepulki proovinud? Millised on teie lemmikud?

This is not a beauty video, just a beautiful one!

2012-02-02T14:18:00.000+02:00

People have been telling me that I should make videos, but this won't happen until I have an actual camera to film on. But my sister does have a camera and we made this video back in May. It was really cold! Enjoy! :)

Õde tegi minust maikuus selle video. Külmusin väikeseks rosinaks selle tegemise ajal, aga loodan, et meeldib. :)
p.s. Kui ma peaksin millalgi HD-video filmimise võimalusega kaamera soetama, küll ma hakkan siis meigist ja kreemidest ka videosid tegema. Praegu on veel vara. :)

On my nails: OPI "Sheer Your Toys!"

2012-01-31T00:40:00.004+02:00

I know... Another nail polish post, why am I being so lazy? I promise this will end soon and I will be treating you guys with much more interesting posts. My birthday is coming up and I also have a few nice products on the way. :)
On my nails today you will find a really nice and modest colour. It's a light grey with a subtle shimmer.

Tean-tean, järjekordne küünelakipostitus. Aga minu poole on teel juba nii mõnigi huvitavam toode ja peas keerlevad mitmed ideed, näiteks tahaksin jagada teiega oma lemmiktooteid alla 5 euro :). Ühtlasi, mu sünnipäev on tulemas!

Empties - January

2012-01-29T20:56:00.001+02:00

I thought I'd share my monthly "empties" with you - just a simple way to give a mini review of products some of you might be interested in. Definitely let me know if I should continue this in February. :)

The Body Shop Banana Shampoo

Just a simple shampoo, not much to say about it. This smells like REAL banananas. In my opinion it's awesome, but it might scare of someone. It's meant for all hair types, so it doesn't really have a specific purpose other than just cleaning your hair.

Treacle Moon That Vanilla Moment Body Scrub

I've had this for two years and I only use it before I apply self-tanner. It smells so good - to me it reminds vanilla Chewits, if anyone remembers how it smells like. It's a good scrub and I love the packaging as well - so cute. It says "tested on us, not animals" on the back. :)

Bourjois Volume Glamour Mascara
I didn't really care for it at first, but I ended up falling in love with this mascara. For my lashes this worked really well - it held a curl and added volume and length. The tube is absolutely beautiful as well.
LUSH Mask of Magnaminty
I love this product! Review HERE!
LUSH Angels on Bare Skin
Review HERE!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

I don't really have anything bad to say about this foundation. It didn't break me out and stayed on quite well (with a finishing powder of course). But it does feel quite thick and even sticky on your face - I really started noticing the difference when I switched to Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. Your skin can't really breathe under the Rimmel foundation I'm afraid...

If you have any more questions about the products mentioned or anything else, don't forget I have a Formspring - www.formspring.com/annnaelisabeth

EESTI KEELES:

Otsustasin jagada teiega oma selle kuu otsa saanud tooteid - lihtne viis öelda paar sõna toodete kohta, millest mõni teist ehk huvitatud võib olla. Öelge kindlasti, kas peaksin seda ka edaspidi tegema. :)

The Body Shop banaanišampoon
Lihtne šampoon igale juuksetüübile, mille põhieesmärk ongi lihtsalt juuksed puhtaks pesta. Lõhnab väga tugevasti banaanide järele, justkui olekski keegi banaanid pudelisse purustanud. Teeb juuksed ilusti puhtaks ja kui "smuuti pähe määrimine" kedagi ei ehmata, soovitan kindlasti.

Treacle Moon Vanilla kehakoorija
Ostsin selle vist juba kaks aastat tagasi. See lõhnab imeliselt, kui keegi peaks mäletama, siis see lõhnab täpselt nagu vanilje Chewits. Kasutasin seda vaid enne isepruunistaja peale määrimist. Mulle meeldib armas pakend ja kirjakesed sellel, meenutab Philosphy tooteid. Olen neid seni näinud ainult Tallinna Kaubamajas.

Bourjois Volume Glamour ripsmetušš
Ostsin selle sügise alguses allahindluselt peamiselt ilusa tuubi ja soodsa hinna pärast. Algul ei avaldanud see mingit erilist muljet, kuid nagu paljude teiste ripsmetuššidega, avaldus ka selle võlu alles pärast mõnda aega. Pikendab, koolutab, tihendab - ja veelkord, imeilus tuub! :)
Rimmel Lasting Finish jumestuskreem
See teeb, mida lubab ja püsib päris korralikult peal. Väga hea katvusega, et tekitada n-ö veatu ja pisut kumav ume. Samas on mul tunne, et see ei lase nahal piisavalt hingata ja on pisut kleepuva tekstuuriga, mis tähendab, et ma tunnen seda oma nahal. Samuti on see üpris tugevalt lõhnastatud.

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty - arvustus SIIN!
LUSH Angels on Bare Skin - arvustus SIIN!

Kui teil on nende toodete või õigupoolest ükskõik mille kohta mulle küsimusi, siis ärge unustage, et mul on ka Formspring: www.formspring.com/annnaelisabeth

Cutest socks in the world!

2012-01-26T02:20:00.000+02:00

I wanted to get some cute everyday stud earrings from the Accessorize sale, but the jewellery selection was really not that impressive. Basically, there was absolutely nothing that I liked. But that's okay, because I got four pairs of socks. :D Not just any socks, but the cutest friggin socks in the world! Just look at these penguins!

Piilusin Accessorize'i allahindlust, et endale ehk uusi kõrvarõngaid leida, kuid reaalne ehete valik Viru kaupluses valmistas küll pettumuse. Allahindluses polnud ainsatki ehet, mis mulle oleks meeldinud. Aga kurvastamiseks polnud ka põhjust, sest ma lahkusin poest nelja paari imearmsate sokkidega. Otsime õnne ~~väikestest asjadest~~ nunnudest pingviinidest, eks! ;)

On my nails: Make Up Store "Nicklas"

2012-01-25T20:41:00.000+02:00

I love this polish - it's so summery and would be perfect for beach. Yes, I'm aware that it's still winter. :(

Õues on prr-kui-külm, aga mina leidsin eriti ilusa suvise küünelaki. Love!

SUUR AITÄH! ... ja giveaway võitja. :)

2012-01-24T23:02:00.001+02:00

Review: The Body Shop Body Butters

2012-01-22T19:01:00.000+02:00

I love The Body Shop. Yes, it's a but more pricey, at least here in Estonia, but I love the smells, the packagings, the products... the body butters have always been my favourites and they're probably the most famous Body Shop products too. I thought I'd review my body butters and let you know how I feel about different ones. The smell and the picture on the lid are not the only differences you know. ;)

I've used up three body butters, I'm currently using two and have one packup for summer, so I've had enough experience with these products. The lemon, shea and strawberry ones are empty, I kept the tubes for this post. In the past I used raspberry, so this tube is long gone. :(

Shea
Shea is one of my favourite smells in TBS and it's super moisturizing. It's meant for very dry skin, so this is not a surprise. To me it almost smells manly, so I'd also recommend this to guys. Since it's so thick I only used it on my elbows, knees, heels and sometimes on my hands when they felt dry after washing the dishes or using nail polish remover. It's such a great, rich moisturizer!
Sweet Lemon
It's for normal skin and has a really fresh fruity smell. It has a really creamy consistency and is great for using all over the body. I loved this smell so much that I also have a packup sweet lemon whip body lotion. I know, I'm obsessed... Don't even ask me how many body moisturizers I have.
Strawberry
This one is probably my least favourite of all the body butters I've tried. It's meant for normal skin, but is way too thick, I'd say it's as thick as the shea one. It smells nice, but I prefer other smells - to me it's almost too sweet and it doesn't really remind me of fresh strawberries that much - more like a strawberry milkshake.
Wild Cherry
Unlike the strawberry body butter, this smells like the real thing, just like fresh cherries - it's so nice! It's for normal skin and has the same consistency as the sweet lemon one. It sinks into my skin nicely and makes it so soft and glowy. I really like the Wild Cherry range in TBS. :)
Raspberry
Raspberry is also one of my favouritse TBS scents - it's absolutely amazing! It has a creamy consistency, maybe just a bit more liquidy than cherry and lemon. It's limited edition and I can't wait for it to come back into stores.
Papaya
Papaya is my third favourite smell in TBS. Actually, my love for TBS body moisturizers started with a papaya body lotion that I got as a gift back in 2009. It's also limited edition and it came back this winter, so I bought a packup for summer. You just can't pass the smell - it's like a fresh fruit salad, it's like going to the beach...
Japanese Cherry Blossom
My boyfriend "forced" me to buy this, he loves the smell. I love it too. It's really sweet and feminine and the smooth, creamy consistency makes it easy to apply.

They're all such great moisturizers and I'd recommend them to anyone. Youjust have to find the right smell and consistency for your skin. :)

By the way, I've heard many people complaining that some TBS body butters are hard to blend into skin. If you have this problem, try this - dot the butter all over your skin, let it warm up (while looking like a dalmatian) and then rub it in. With this method I've never had a problem. :)

Have you used the body butters from The Body Shop? Which one is your favourite?

Ma armastan The Body Shop'i. Kõik, kes mind vähegi paremini tunnevad, teavad, et minule pole kunagi raske kingitust teha - kui see on kvaliteetšokolaad või The Body Shopi toode, siis olen ma alati rahul. Nii lihtsalt on. :) Body Shopi ühed populaarsemad tooted on ühtlasi ka minu lemmikud ja nendeks on nende imemõnusad, mahlased, niisutavad kehavõid.

Räägin lühidalt kehavõidest, mida olen ise kasutanud või kasutan hetkel (pildil olevad shea-, maasika- ja sidrunivõi potsikud on tegelikult juba tühjad ja alles hoitud just pildistamise eesmärgil :D).

Shea
Shea on üks mu lemmikumaid Body Shopi lõhnu - see sobiks minu meelest suurepäraselt ka meestele. Shea kehavõi on kuivale nahale ja seega väga tihke ja paksu koostisega ja meganiisutav. Seetõttu kasutasin seda peamiselt kandadel, küünarnukkidel ja ka kätel, kui need tõhusamat niisutust vajasid. Minu normaalse nahatüübi jaoks on see kreem pisut "raske", seega sobiks see ideaalselt kas väga kuiva nahaga inimesele või normaalse nahaga inimesele n-ä hädaolukordadeks.
Sweet Lemon
See on imemõnusa ja värske lõhnaga, nagu suvine sidrunilimonaad või mahlapulk! Koostiselt on see normaalsele nahatüübile mõeldud või väga kreemjas ja sulandub mõnusasti nahka. Armusin sellesse lõhna nii ära, et mu varudes on ka üks pumbaga sidruni kehakreem.
Maasikas
Maasika kehavõi kasutamist ma eriti ei nautinud. Teadsin, et see on väga paljude lemmik ja seetõttu selle ka ostsin, kuid ehkki see on mõeldud normaalsele nahale, on see koostiselt sama tihke kui shea kehavõi. Lõhnalt meenutab see värskete maasikate asemel pigem maasika-piimakokteili, samuti ei meeldinud mulle see, kuidas lõhn nahal jäi. Samas on see nii paljude lemmik, nii et võta näpust... Tuleb lihtsalt ise ära proovida.
Kirss
Wild Cherry, erinevalt maasikast, lõhnab nagu ehtsad värsked kirsid! Tahaks selle lihtsalt nahka pista! See on mõnusa kreemja koostisega ja sulandub ilusti, jättes nahale ilusa kuma.
Vaarikas
Mina ostsin vaarika kehavõi kunagi ammu Hollandist, Eestis pole ma seda veel tähele pannud. Aga kui kunagi sellele käpa peale saate, siis tehke seda julgelt. Lõhn on täiesti imeline, nagu värsked vaarikad, nagu magus marjane smuuti. Koostiselt sama kreemjas nagu sidruni- ja kirsivõi.
Papaia
Minu Body Shopi kehaniisutajate armastus algas 2009. aastal kingituseks saadud papaia kehakreemiga. Papaia on aga n-ö limited edition, seega pole see alati saadaval. Hetkel on ta Eestis täitsa olemas ja veel allahindluses ka (10.50 eurot), nii et ostsin endale suveks ühe varuks. See lõhnab nagu värske puuviljasalat, nagu rannakokteil... Imemõnus!
Japanese Cherry Blossom
Mu noormees veenis mind seda ostma, kui endale Body Shopis uusi kreeme valisin. Talle meeldis väga selle lõhn ja mulle samuti - koostiselt kreemjas kehavõi lõhnab magusalt ja naiselikult nagu mingi imehea parfüüm.

Kas teie olete The Body Shopi kehavõisid proovinud? Millised on teie lemmikud? Mulle meeldib väga ka oliivi-, kookose- ja magusa ignveri lõhn.Tõenäoliselt ostan endale peagi ka oliivi- ja kookose 50 ml potsikud. Rääkides veel uutest kehavõidest, siis uus ja puutumata pinnaga kehavõi tekitab minus tõenäoliselt rohkem elevust kui see normaalne oleks... :D

My Perfume Collection

2012-01-22T16:11:00.000+02:00

Although I absolutely love perfume, I don't really have that many. But my perfume wishlist is endless and it's my birthday next month, so... :D Recently I've discovered my love for EDP-s and not so much for EDT-s. The smell really does linger all day, which is amazing. Eau de toilette is gone in 2-4 hours... :( Oh, and I won't be looking up the top notes and such, you can google them if you're interested. :)

I will start with my favourite and this is Versace Bright Crystal. I've loved this since high school, first on other people and then I got a 30 ml bottle for christmas last year. I save it for when I'm going out and every time I spray this on I feel absolutely amazing. Love love LOVE this scent! I really want to get a EDP version of this! It's so feminine and sweet, yet fresh and girly. You have to try it if you haven't yet!

My second favourite is my everyday scent and my boyfriend's favourite female scent ever. It's Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine. I don't even know how to describe this... It's amazing! It's sweet, yet fresh and really unique. I'm horrible at describing scents and when I asked my boyfriend's help he just said: "Really good. The best. You!" So, there you go... It's ME. :D

I got DKNY Golden Delicious for Christmas this year. It was on my wishlist and my dear brother decided to get this for me. It's EDP and I wear this when I go out. It's not fresh and fruity like other DKNY Delicious perfumes - it's more mature and "grown up". Almost sexy, I must say... A really sensual scent. ;)

Guess for Women is also a scent I've known since high school. My friend used to have it and I really liked it back then. When I saw it on sale (75 ml of EDP for about 20 euros!) I just had to get it. It's mostly sweet and quite strong actually, but also really feminine. I think it smells best about 4-5 hours after I've sprayed this on. It's not that "in your face" then and has mixed with my natural scent really nicely.

Morgan de Toi Love Love used to be my signature scent when I was younger. My mom gave me this for birthday (or was it Valentine's Day?) when I was 15 and I've loved it ever since. It's really sweet (by now you've probably noticed that I love sweet scents)! I mean... really REALLY sweet! May make someone gag even... :(

Last, but not least, my tiny 5 ml Flora by Gucci. My mom loves this perfume, it's really strong and feminine, not something I would wear every day. In my opinion, this scent wouldn't suit a younger person and is better for someone in their 30s or 40s. It's just so strong, even the EDT version. But it's really good, I love Gucci perfumes.

In my perfume wishlist you will find:

Lacoste Pour Femme (such a classic)
Burberry Brit Sheer
L'eau par Kenzo (I've had this before, this is amazing!)
Armani Code
Paco Rabanne One Million for men (yes, I would wear this, I think the men's version is so much better)

Ma armastan parfüüme! Olen viimasel ajal avastanud, kuivõrd palju mõttekam on osta tualettvee versiooni asemel parfüümi - tõsi, see on kallim, kuid püsib terve päeva peal! Olen alati suur parfüümihull olnud, võimalik, et oma ema pärast - isal on kombeks talle igalt reisilt uus parfüüm kaasa tuua, niisiis olen väga paljude erinevate naiste lõhnadega juba väiksest saati kokku puutunud. Mu enda kollektsioonis on hetkel kuus lõhna, kuid olen üpris kindel, et see kogus täieneb peagi - sünnipäev on tulemas ja puha. :)
Mu absoluutne lemmik on Versace Bright Crystal. Eestis teavad seda juba tõenäoliselt kõik, sest mingil hetkel oli see igal teisel naisel. Aga see lõhn on nii-nii hea, hullutavalt magus ja samas piisavalt värske. Hoian enda oma erilisteks puhkudeks, sest iga kord kui ma seda peale lasen, tunnen ma end suurepäraselt.
Minu teine ja kallima absoluutne lemmik on Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine. Ma ei oska seda lõhna kuidagi iseloomustada - minu meelest on see väga unikaalne ja erineb kõigist teistest. See on samuti magus ja värske korraga, selles on midagi nii suvist ja lõunamaist.
DKNY Golden Delicious ootas mind jõuluvana kingikotis. Loomulikult olin enne väga tugevaid vihjeid teele pannud. ;) See on palju küpsem ja sensuaalsem kui teised DKNY Delicious lõhnad. Ma nimetaksin seda isegi seksikaks. Kannan seda õhtuti välja minnes ja olen saanud rohkelt komplimente. :)
Guess for Women on mulle tuttav juba keskkoolist, sest see oli kunagi mu sõbrannal. See on samuti magus ja tütarlapselik, samas naiselik. Kuna see on parfüüm, kestab see peal terve päeva ja lõhnab kõige paremini umbes 4-5 tunni möödudes, kui on mu enda naturaalse lõhnaga segunenud. Väga mõnus parfüüm. :)
Morgan de Toi Love Love oli nooremana mu sigantuurlõhn. See on lausa ründavalt magus, teisiti ma seda kirjeldada ei oskagi. Nagu vist juba aru olete saanud, meeldivad mulle magusad lõhnad. Värsked on samuti head, kuid olen alati pigem magusate ja mahlaselt puuviljaste lõhnade poole kaldunud.
Viimaseks on mul pisike 5-milliliitrine Flora by Gucci. See ootas mind kunagi väikese ekstrana sünnipäevapakis. Mu emale väga meeldib see lõhn ja ma saan aru miks - see on naiselik ja küpse. Mina soovitaksin seda pigem alates 30. eluaastast, sest ma ei pea seda eriti värskeks ja nooruslikuks.

Mu parfüümide soovilisti leiate selle eestikeelse postituse algusest - tõenäoliselt täitub neist varsti nii mõnigi, sest sünnipäev on tulemas ja kolm parfüümi varsti juba otsa saamas. :)

GLAMBOX - Jaanuar

2012-01-20T20:07:00.000+02:00

We don't get Birchbox, Carmine Beauty Box or GlossyBox in Estonia, but now we have Glambox. Since it's for us Estonian girls only, this post will be in Estonian. But you can still check out the pictures and see what we got this month. :)

Kui nägin, et midagi Brichboxi, GlossyBoxi jt laadset on lõpuks ka Eestisse jõudnud, pidin selle kohe tellima - tõsi, mul pole küll toodetest puudust, kuid kes ei tahaks saada ilusat roosa lipsukesega kingitust uute ja põnevate toodetega, mida proovida? Glambox maksab 7.90 ja lähemalt võite lugeda aadressil www.glambox.ee.

Aga mis oli jaanuari Glamboxis? :)

Laurence Dumont / BIO Chocolat Epilation Bandes 16 tk € 9.30

"Depilatsiooni vaharibad jalgadele ja kehale. Koostis on 100% looduslikku päritolu ning rikastatud niisutava orgaanilise argaaniaõliga"
See on ekstra toode ja maksab juba üksinda rohkem kui kogu Glambox - mulle sobib. :) See on ühtlasi üks põnevamaid tooteid, sest olen ammu mõelnud, et peaksin vaharibasid proovima - lihtsalt, et oleks proovitud.

RICH Pure Luxury Intense Moisture Shampoo 250 ml € 9.90

"Ülimalt rikkalik ja tõeliselt ekstravagantne, intensiivselt niisutav igapäevaseks kasutamiseks sobiv šampoon."

Esmalt - väga helde kogus! Mul oli hea meel ka seda toodet oma karbikeses näha - olen RICH-i toodete kohta rohkelt häid sõnu kuulnud. Küll aga kardan, et see šampoon pole päris minu juuksetüübile - mul on pehmed ja läikivad juuksed, mis vajavad intensiivse niisutuse asemel pigem kergemaid tooteid. Lõhn on aga imeline ja proovin selle šampooni kindlasti järele ja jätan siis kasutamiseks näiteks pärast juuste värvimist või rannas käimist, kui juuksed vajavad rohkelt niisutust ja turgutust. :)

Body Farm Shower Gel Sandalwood 250 ml € 6.30

"Aaloe ja jojoba ekstraktidega, eriliselt väljatöötatud valemiga dušigeel elavdab, niisutab ja jätab naha sametiselt pehmeks."
Lihtsalt dušigeel, ei midagi väga uhket või luksuslikku, kuid mulle meeldib uusi dušigeele proovida. Jätan selle siiski hetkel alles - ma kasutan igasuguseid minitestreid tavaliselt reiside ajal, et kohver võimalikult kerge oleks.

Sparitual Instinctual Moisturizing Lotion 225 ml € 31

"Orgaaniliste koostisainetega niisutav kehakreem Indoneesia ingveriga toidab ka väga kuiva nahka - kasuta kätel, kehal ja jalgadel."
See tundub mõnus ja luksuslik ning tahan selle kindlasti järele proovida, kuid kehtib sama, mis dušigeeliga - hoian pisikesed testrid alati reiside jaoks alles. Seetõttu ei saa ma anda ka ühtegi kommentaari toote lõhna või tekstuuri kohta.

Glominerals foundation 30 ml € 45

"Mineraalne jumestuskreem - eksklusiivne antioksüdeeriv vitamiinide A, C, E segu koos rohelise tee ekstraktiga tagavad siidise naha tekstuuri ja veatu jume."
Kui lugesin kaardikeselt selle jumestuskreemi hinda, vajus mul lõug maani - samas tõusis isu seda proovida lakke! Sain selle toonis "natural", mis sobib hästi mu enda nahatooniga. Niisiis saan selle järele testida - tundub, et sellest tuubikesest jagub mulle vähemalt kolmeks korraks - pole paha. :)

Lirene Intensively Moisturizing Cream 50 ml € 6.12

"Sinivetika ja kõrbetaime ekstrakti sisaldav kreem suurendab naharakkude kaitsevõimet ja muudab naha välimuse värskeks ning säravaks."
Olen alati uute näokreemide otsingul ja mul on hea meel, et sain taas uue, mida proovida. Muide, ka üsna heldes suuruses.

Kuidas ma rahule jäin?

Mul on hea meel, et Eestis on selline tubli tiim, kes selle suurepärase "ilukarbikese" idee ka meile tõi. Jäin jaanuari Glamboxiga väga rahule - ekstratoode oli super, karbis oli palju looduslikke tooteid ja kõik oli väga armsasti pakendatud, lisakingituseks magus Geisha. :) Teisisõnu - ma lähen nüüd Glamboxi lehele ja tellin endale veebruari oma ka ära. Loodan, et ma ei pea tulevikus pettuma ja saan proovida veel häid tooteid. Loodan tulevikus näha oma Glamboxis ka rohkem meigitooteid ja näiteks küünelakke. :)

Kas teie olete Glamboxi tellinud? Plaanite te seda teha?

On my nails: OPI "Suzi & the Lifeguard"

2012-01-20T08:50:00.000+02:00

When I don't feel like wearing any nail polish, I usually still end up wearing "Suzi & the Lifeguard" on my nails - it's quite modest, but girly and pretty at the same time. It's a really light baby pink with teeny tiny shimmer in it. I love this nail polish - probably one of my wost worn, since it's such a classic. :)

Kui mul pole tuju küünelakki kanda, kannan ikka OPI heleroosat lakki "Suzi & the Lifeguard". See on väga tagasihoidlik, aga tüdrukulik samal ajal. Hele roosa toon ja imetväike sädelus teevad sellest klassiku ja ühtlasi mu enim kantud küünelaki. :)

Review: Planet Spa Mud Mask

2012-01-19T20:14:00.000+02:00

My colleague got this as a gift from Avon, but since she already has this product she gave it to me. I really didn't mind. :D I'm talking about Planet Spa dead sea minerals facial mud mask by Avon. I was excited to try this out as soon as I got home - I'm all about face masks and I've been wanting to try Planet Spa products for a while now.

First, I like the packaging, I think it's beautiful and classy. Following "the rules" I applied this mask on clean skin and left it on for 15 minutes. The mask has a creamy consistency and it's easy to apply - the smell is good (a bit manly might I say... reminds me a little of men's deodorant or something, which is totally okay, I love men's scents). It got a little hard on my skin, but not so hard that I couldn't move my lips. The mask was easy to wash off with warm water, so I didn't have to rub my face and pull on my skin like a crazy person. My face felt smooth and soft after, but I still added some moisturiser to it. I really felt like my pores were minimized, especially on my nose and cheeks, but maybe that's just the placebo effect... I will definitely use this product up. :)

Avon kinkis mu töökaaslasele Avoni surnumeremineraalidega mudamaski, kuid kuna tal on see mask juba kodus olemas, kinkis ta selle mulle edasi. Mul polnud loomulikult kohe mitte midagi selle vastu - ma armastan näomaske ja olen Planet Spa tooteid juba mõnda aega proovida tahtnud.

Esmalt, mulle meeldib pakend - see on tagasihoidlik ja stiilne. Kandsin maski puhtale näole ja 15 minutiks, täpselt nagu kiri pakendil käskis. See on koostiselt kreemjas ja seda on lihtne näole kanda - lõhn on mõnus ja pisut mehine, meenutades mulle justkui mingit meeste deodoranti või aftershave'i. See on aga täiesti okei, mulle on meeste lõhnad alati rohkem meeldinud kui naiste omad. :D Mõne minuti pärast tõmbus mask näol pisut kõvaks, kuid mitte nii kõvaks, et ma poleks saanud oma näolihaseid kasutada. :) Sooja veega tuli mask kergesti maha, nii et ma ei pidanud nägu hõõruma ja nahka venitama - see on alati pluss! Mulle ei meeldi näomaskid, mida on absoluutselt või-ma-tu maha loputada... Mu jume oli pärast pisut värskem ja klaarim ja tundus, et poorid on tõepoolest pisut kahanenud, eriti ninal - see võis aga ka placebo-efekt olla.
Kasutan selle maski kindlasti lõpuni ja julgen seda soovitada kui mõnusat ja puhastavat maski, mille hind pole laes. Uurisin ja selle hind peaks olema umbes 6-7 eurot 75 milliliitri eest.

Kas teie olete mingeid Planet Spa tooteid proovinud? Mida te neist arvate?

Outfit & Makeup: Going to a Birthday!

2012-01-18T18:56:00.000+02:00

My best friend turned 22 yesterday and we are going to celebrate tonight, just us girls. :) I decided to wear my new silver top from Zara (from the sales section, hell yes!) and simple black skinny jeans. On my eyes I have Wet n' Wild palette "Walking on Eggshells" and on my lips I have Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Stick ("Night Bloom") on top of Rimmel's "Airy Fairy"... Although I know you can't really see the colours that well... But hey, it's not a review/tutorial. Just some fun. :) Oh, and on my nails - OPI "Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous". Got to run now!

Lippan just välja sõbranna sünnipäeva tähistama, enne aga jagan teiega oma tänast look'i (just nii kannatamatu blogija ma olengi!). Otsustasin kanda oma uut hõbedast Zara toppi ja klassikalisi kitsaid musti teksasid. Silmameik on tehtud Wet n' Wild "Walking on Eggshells" paletiga ja huultel on Rimmeli "Airy Fairy" ja Estee Lauderi Gloss Stick "Night Bloom". Küüntel OPI "Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous". Ja juba ma jooksengi. :)

On my nails: Revlon "Facets of Fuchsia"

2012-01-10T00:52:00.000+02:00

As soon as "Facets of Fuchsia" started turning up on different blogs and in everyone's Youtube videos, I knew that I had to have it. I fell in love with it when Dulcecandy87 on Youtube wore this. Since we don't have Revlon in Estonia (don't ask me why... ), I asked my dear friend in London to bring me this when she comes to Estonia. And she did! I was so excited to finally get my hands on this nail polish, after it had been sitting on her dressing table for almost 3 weeks... It's so unique, I love it! And by the way, just 2 coats! ;)

Haa, saingi Revloni "Facets of Fuchsia"-le käpa peale! Mu kallis sõbranna elab Londonis, kus müüakse peale kõikide muude ägedate firmade ja brändide ka Revlonit (mis muide kunagi oli ka Eestis, aga kadus siis mingil imelikul põhjusel... ) ning palusin tal selle endale tuua. Sain selle nüüd lõpuks kätte ja olen armunud (nagu vist igasse küünelakki, millest kirjutan?)... Aga kas see pole mitte unikaalne? Muide, ainult kahest kihist piisab. ;)

On my nails: OPI "Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous"

2012-01-05T22:52:00.000+02:00

I love this nail polish - it's perfect for winter and I've already gotten many compliments on it. :) You do need three coats tho, which is a bit annoying, but it's totally worth it. ;)

Minu uus lemmik talveks. :)

A new pretty thing!

2012-01-05T19:49:00.000+02:00

Seriously, this ring defines my love for bird accessories, tattoos, t-shirts and scarves with birds... I spotted this in Seppälä today and this made my day. After a long day at work and a lot of stress ahead (I have six exams during this weekend... ) it was exactly what I needed. Also, it's adjustable, which is a plus, since I have such tiny fingers. It cost €4,95.

H&M Vanilla Ginger Lip Balm

2012-01-04T20:03:00.000+02:00

My dear friend Maarja gave me the cutest little gift. It's the vanilla ginger lip balm by H&M. It smells mostly like vanilla and has a really light and soft consistency. I probably won't be using this as a lip treatment, since I trust other brands more for that, but if I want a smoother surface for my lipstick, this would be great. But let's just focus on the packaging! Isn't that one of the prettiest lip balm packaging you've ever seen? The romantic and "vintage" style of it is gorgeous. Also, it suits with my girly room. :D

I just wanted to share. After all, my blog is about all things pretty. :)

Sõbranna kinkis mulle H&M-i vanilje-ingveri huulepalsami. See lõhnab põhiliselt vanilje ja kemikaalide järele, kuid on mõnusa ja pehme tekstuuriga. Huulte ravimiseks ma seda vast kasutama ei hakka, aga pinna "silumiseks" enne huulepulga kasutamist ehk küll. Ent põhiline on hoopis see imearmas väike metallkarbike, milles palsam pesitseb. Kõik sellised vanaaegse ja romantilise moega asjad võtavad mind lihtsalt jalust nõrgaks.

Project 10 Pan - Winter Edition

2012-01-03T00:20:00.000+02:00

I decided to include "project 10 pan" posts into year 2012 and I'll try to make them seasonal, meaning that I should use up ten products in winter, spring, summer and autumn. Now I only have two months of winter left, but I'll do my best, because I'm really not the kind of girl who likes to have her whole room full of beauty products. To be honest, I'd be happy to have one makeup bag full of the best products for me and maybe some fun eyeliners and lipsticks in my drawer to use when I'm in the mood for it. As I alreay said in my last post - this year I want to have quality instead of quantity.

Why I decided to do this? I counted all my beauty products (except tools, perfumes and nail polishes) and got the total of 85 (pictures at the end) and this made me think... I really want to reduce this amount, this is kind of insane for me. I know that there are beauty gurus with hundreds of products, but to me even 85 is a bit too much... I mean, do I really need seven lip balms!?

What are the rules?

Don't buy any new beauty products that are included in the project (meaning that if I have to use up a hair spray I'm not allowed to buy a new one before I'm done with it). Yes, I know that one of the original rules was to not buy ANY new beauty products during Project 10 Pan, but I can't live without shampoo just because I haven't used up a lip gloss you know... ;)
Do an update. I'll try to make updates in the middle, so I'll do one in the beginning of February.
Do a post about the results and write about the experience (was it hard, did you rediscover a great product etc)

For Project 10 Pan Winter Edition I chose ten quite random items - just some products that I've either had for too long or don't enjoy as much and would like to replace with something else.

1. L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin hair spray

It's nice and light, but the smell is absolutely disgusting. I just don't know what they were thinking... it smells like an old lady (no offense, grandmother) and after I've moisturised my skin with delicious body butter and sprayed on an expensive perfume I really don't want to cover myself with this granny-smell. Such a bummer, since the product itself is not bad at all...

2. Rolland O WAY Moisturizing Milk

Now this is basically a leave-in conditioner that I got as a gift 3 months ago. It smells SO good and makes my hair soft and shiny, but there's just one problem with this product... I freaking forget to use it! And I'm lazy too... Something in a spray bottle would probably suit me better.

3. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation

I meant to buy the Healthy Mix foundation, but bought the serum... And since one fail is never enough, it's too light for me too. But not too light to wear during the day, I'll just have to even it out with bronzer. Before I get to buy a new foundation, I have to use up this one. End of story.

4. Isadora Perfect Powder Rouge in "Cool Pink"

I'm afraid to admit it, but I think I've had this blush for at least four years... It's a really nice rosy pink with some shimmer in it - perfect for winter! I've been so into NARS "Orgasm" that I still haven't hit the pan on this one... But since it's the only blush I have besides my NARS one, I'm anxious to use it up to get something better... And not in such a big stupid packaging... (I never use the brushes that come with blushes and powders, but the packaging is always so much bigger because of them... )

5. Lumene Beauty Base Blue Neutralizer

I've used this for my dark under-eye circles for over a year, but it just doesn't work for me anymore... It' greases and is sooooo thick! Time to use it up and never buy this product again.

6. Garnier Roll-On Anti-Dark Circles

It's quite new, but simply too dark for me, but under foundation it's okay. I'll use it up and find a new concealer for my under-eye circles.

7. GOSH Precious Powder Pearls in "Glow"

I've had this bronzer for at least two years now and I've used it quite much, but since I have a sneaky plan to buy one quite expensive bronzer in the spring, I have to use up my current bronzers. This is one of them.

8. Lancome Color Fever Gloss in "Furious in Fushia"

I bought this lip gloss exaclty two years ago, but I still haven't used it up. It's a great lip gloss tho, I really recommend Lancome Color Fever lip glosses.

9. Rimmel The Volume Flash Max mascara

I have four mascaras, so I just had to include one of them here... I just chose the oldest one.Also, I'm not that impressed with it anymore...

10. Morgan de Toi Love Love perfume

I bought this exactly two years ago too and since I don't have that much space for my perfumes, it's getting in the way. I love the annoyingly sweet smell of it, but I love my new perfumes more and it's time to say goodbye to old ones. I have only about 20 ml left, so this shouldn't be hard...

I'll update you guys soon and I really encourage you all to try this too, that is if you haven't done this already! ;)

I'll also include pictures of all my beauty products and compare it with the amount I have at the end of the year. Let's see if Project 10 Pan helps me keep my feet on the ground when it comes to buying beauty products. At the end of 2011 I had:

p.s. Silly me, I just discovered that I've put two face care pictures into this collage... Let's just ignore it.

12 hair products

1 shampoo, 3 conditioners, 1 treatment, 3 hair sprays, 1 volume mousse, 1 heat protectant, 2 dry shampoos
GOAL: 6 products

15 body products
3 body washes, 1 tanning lotion, 1 scrub, 1 self-tanner, 9 moisturisers
GOAL: 10 products

11 face care products
4 cleansers, 3 moisturisers, 1 bronzer, 1 mask, 1 mist, 1 eye make-up remover
GOAL: 10 products (I really don't think I have too many excess products here... )

6 face makeup products
2 powders, 2 under-eye concealers, 2 foundations
GOAL: 3 products

14 eye makeup products
4 mascaras, 2 eyeliners, 2 eyebrow pencils, 1 eyebrow powder, 4 eyeshadows, 1 eyeshadow palette
GOAL: 8 products

7 blushes and bronzers
3 blushes, 3 bronzers, 1 blush & bronzer duo
GOAL: 4 products

20 lip products
7 lip balms, 1 lip pencil, 1 lip scrub, 3 lip glosses, 8 lipsticks
GOAL: 8 products

So, all in all I want to have no more than 50 beauty products at the end of 2012. :) And again, I really encourage everyone to try this too. You save money and space, so there's nothing to lose really...

Hei, otsustasin sel aastal neljal korral "Project 10 Pan"-i ette võtta - see tähendab, et ma valin igal aastaajal kümme liiga kauaks seisma jäänud toodet ja kasutan need lõpuni. Sel ajal ei tohi ma aga sama kategooria uusi tooteid osta. Leian, et see aitaks mul kõvasti liiga suurt ilutoodete hulka vähendada.

Lisaks lugesin üle kõik oma ilutooted ja neid on mul 85 - aasta lõpuks soovin selle numbri kahandada 50-ni.

Ma väga vabandan, et ma pikemalt praegu eesti keeles ei kirjuta, kuid see pikk ja pildirohke ingliskeelne postitus on võtnud mu viimsedki energiavarud ning mul on nädalavahetusel kuus eksamit, mis vajavad ettevalmistust... Kes vähegi inglise keelt lugeda mõistab, uurige ja proovige kindlasti ka ise! Säästate raha ja ruumi, nii et kaotada pole midagi. Keskendume uuel aastal kvaliteedile, mitte kvantiteedile!

Health & Beauty Promises for 2012

2012-01-01T23:34:00.000+02:00

I already wrote some resolutions down in my planner, but I thought it might be fun to make some more simple health and beauty ones on my blog too. :) Then I can remind myself during the year to "behave" and slap myself in December if I fail to keep my promises. ;)

In 2012 I promise to...

... let my hair grow.
I chopped of my long hair last January and have regretted ever since. I promise to keep my hair healthy and let it grow long again. :) Also, I need to get some layers.

... get my teeth fixed and whitened.
I'm embarrassed to admit that my dentist hasn't seen me for almost two years now. I need to get some of my teeth fixed and also... I'm afraid the wisdom teeth are coming out too. :( And since I'm not blessed with the whitest of teeth, I'm going to find a way to get my smile a bit shinier. Any suggestions?

... work out at least twice a week.
I have a gym card that allows me to use the gym and go to different yoga, body balance and whatever else classes whenever I want, but I've been really lazy lately. Well, yes, I was sick for a month, but I'm okay now, so it's time to get up and go to the gym. I'm already in shape, but I feel like I could tone my legs, arms and well... butt a bit more. :)

... not buy random beauty and pampering things just because they're cheap.
This year, I'll focus on the word "quality"! I'd rather have 2-3 more expensive products than 10 cheapy ones.

... use up a product before getting a new one.
You know how it goes... You still have a few squirts left of your foundation and decide to get a new one. But the new foundation is so great that you immediately start using this instead of using up your old one. Before you know it, you have 10 almost empty abandoned bottles and tubes in your house.

... drink more water.
Haha, that's a classic. But I'll try to find a way to drink more water... Maybe drink a glass after I wake up, a glass at work and one when I get home? Anyway, I promise to try, let's just see how it goes...

... stop touching my hair and face.
I'm constantly touching my face and braiding my hair when I'm reading or watching TV. That's a bad habit, because hands are not always clean and constant braidind causes hair breakage.

Wish me luck! What are your beauty promises for this year? :)

Panin juba mõned tõsisemad tööd ja kooli puudutavad uusaastalubadused oma isiklikku märkikusse kirja, kuid mõtlesin, et oleks lahe ka mõned lihtsamad ilu ja tervist puudutavad lubadused teha. Saan neid siis aasta jooksul endale siin meelde tuletada ja detsembris end tutistada, kui end alt olen vedanud. :D

Luban, et aastal 2012 ma...

... lasen oma juustel kasvada.
... lasen hambad korda teha ja püüan neid pisut valgendada.
... käin vähemalt 2x nädalas trennis.
... ei osta uusi iluvidinaid lihtsalt selle pärast, et need on odavad.
... kasutan toote lõpuni, enne kui uue ostan.
... joon rohkem vett.
... lõpetan pideva näo ja juuste näppimise.
Soovige mulle edu! ;) Millised on teie ilu ja tervise uusaastalubadused?

Favourite Products of 2011

2012-01-01T19:05:00.000+02:00

I really enjoyed choosing products for this post and I decided to pick 12, which is kind of cool since there's twelve months in a year (oh, really? Anna, you're so smart!). I don't have many makeup favourites, but there's plenty of skincare... I really do absolutely adore each and every one of these products and would recommend them anytime. ;)

I discovered and rediscovered some great skincare products last year and I really do recommend trying these out - they're not too expensive too (maybe except the face mist, The Body Shop is quite pricey here in Estonia).
Nivea Visage Pure Effect Daily Deep Cleansing Wash Scrub - it smells so nice and fresh and my skin feels really clean after using this. It removes my makeup (even non-waterproof mascara) and makes my skin nice, soft and even a bit glowy. It costs something around 5 euros, so next time you go out to pick a new daily cleanser, maybe try this one out.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist - I use this every day to set my makeup and also throw it in my bag to freshen up my makeup during the day. It's so nice and refreshing, especially during colder months when skin can get a little too try and tight. I really recommend trying this face mist, I believe it's much cheaper than M.A.C Fix Plus.
Lush Mask of Magnaminty - review HERE.
L'Oreal Hydrafresh Active Moisturising Gel Cream - smells great, moisturises well (yet is not too greasy), doesn't break me out and works as a great base for makeup. Kind of everything I want my daily moisturiser to be. I won't be trying other creams any time soon. Although I really wish they'd put this in a tube - the heavy glass container is annoying since I travel quite much.
Huggies Pure babywipes - I love them! They remove all my makeup and are especially great for removing mascara and eyeliner. If I have any eyeliner or mascara left after washing my face, they remove all of it. They're also great for cleaning my makeup tools (not brushes tho) and I also use them to wipe my dusty TV sometimes... So they really are great to have! And make sure you get the Pure ones!

Lee Stafford Bling Hair Rehab Shampoo - I have a weird relationship with this shampoo. :D You see, when I'm rinsing this out, my hair screams for a conditioner, but I don't use one. And then my hair is perfect. I have quite thin and fine hair and I really don't enjoy my hair most of the time, but with this shampoo, I've never had a bad hair day. I feel like it gives me some volume and a better hold. I really love this shampoo, but I do know it's not for everyone. But I've NEVER had a bad hair day after using this.

The Body Shop body butters - I know they're expensive, but I really love them! There's something about these tubes and smells that I just can't resist. On the picture is my newest one that I got for free, since I spent over 35 euros at The Body Shop (yes, I went to spend my Christmas gift cards as soon as possible... :D). If you ever get a good deal on TBS body butters, do try them out. Shea one is great for dry skin (elbows, knees, heels), lemon, cherry and satsuma smell absolutely delicious... I'm sad that they don't have raspberry and papaya anymore, I really enjoyed these too...

Only two makeup favourites, but you can't really blame me, since I only recently got into makeup.
Nars blush in "Orgasm" - I know it's the mos famous NARS blush and everyone and their mother has heard about this, but it really is great! It has gorgeous golden shimmer in it and it compliments every skintone. I recently hit pan, which makes me quite sad, but I've used it almost every day since May and I still have so much left, so you do get what you pay for. Love love LOVE this blush!!!
Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks - I have "Royalty", "Airy Fairy", "Pink Champagne" and 02 from Kate Moss collection and I love them all! They're creamy and stay on for a decent amount of time. They're also afforable and I really like how they smell. Nice, affordable lipsticks with quite a few shades to choose from. My current favourite is definitely "Royalty", since purple lips really compliment my skintone.

Versace Bright Crystal - this is my favourite perfume and if you haven't smelled this, you have to! It's sweet, yet fresh... Some might think it's too overpowering, but I love this! Every time I spray this on, it makes me feel really good. :)

My two favourite nail polishes of last year are OPI "Opi Ink." and Make Up Store "Monica". Posts HERE and HERE. ;)

I'm excited to start a new year with new beauty products to try out. What are your favourites?

Valisin 12 lemmikut, mida sel aastal enim kasutanud, nautinud või uuesti ostnud olen. Paraku vaid kaks meigitoodet, kuid see-eest üpris korralik sületäis nahahooldustooteid. ;)

Nivea Visage Pure Effect Daily Deep Cleansing Wash Scrub - lõhnab mõnusalt ja värskelt ning nahk on pärast pehme ja särav. Saab ka meigist korralikult lahti, kui tegu pole just paksu foto- või õhtumeigiga.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist - tuleb tunnistada, et see pole just soodsaim toode, mina ostsin selle kui E-vitamiini tooted olid allahinnatud ja ka siis pidin umbes 9 eurot maksma. Aga see on väga mõnus sprei, millega meiki "kinnitada" ja päeva jooksul värskendada - eriti külmemal ajal, kui nahk kipub pisut kuiv ja "kiskuv" olema. Kui olete mõelnud mõne näosprei soetamisele, siis mu esimene soovitus oleks kindlasti see.
Lush Mask of Magnaminty - arvustus SIIN. :)
L'Oreal Hydrafresh Active Moisturising Gel Cream - lõhnab hästi, niisutab hästi ja nahk näib mõnus ja puhanud. See pole liiga rasvane ja imendub korralikult, mistõttu sobib hästi ka meigialuseks kreemiks. Mulle väga meeldivad L'Oreali kreemid ja ma soovitaks neid kindlasti - ainult raske klaaspurk on tüütu, sest ma pean oma meigi- ja nahahooldusasjadega üpris tihti kaugemale trippima.
Huggies Pure niisked (beebi)salvrätikud - ühed neist asjadest, milleta ma tõepoolest enam elada ei oskaks. Need eemaldavad korralikult kogu jumeka ja silmameigi! Ma pesen küll iga kord korralikult nöopuhastusvahendiga meigi maha, kuid viimse silmalaineri ja ripsmetuši saan maha just nendega. Pure salvrätikud on lõhnatud ja kasutan neid ka meigitoodete (mitte pintslite) puhastamiseks ja kui aus olla... Siis olen nendega ka televiisorilt ja riiulilt tolmu võtnud. :D
Lee Stafford Bling Hair Rehab šampoon - Selle šampooniga on mul kummaline suhe... Loputades karjuvad mu juuksed palsami järele, kuid ma ei kasuta palsamit. Järgmisel päeval hoiavad mu juuksed aga täpselt nii nagu ma tahan - mu juuksed on õhukesed ja hoiavad peadligi, kuid see lisab neile kohevust ja hoidvust. Ainus miinus on see, et juuksed pole pärast kuigi säravad, pigem tuhmid. Ent mul pole selle šampooniga kordagi "halbade juuste päeva" olnud!
The Body Shopi kehavõid - ma olen nendest sõltuvuses - jah, tõenäoliselt niisutaks mitmeid kordi odavam Nivea või Dove'i kreem sama hästi, kuid miski lihtsalt tõmbab mind The Body Shop'i lõhnade ja pakendite poole... Need on Eestis üpris kallid, mis on muidugi suur miinus, kuid ma armastan neid! Shea oma on suurepärane kuivale nahale (küünarnukid, põlved, kannad, käed), sidrun ja satsuma lõhnavad imeliselt, samuti Japanese Cherry Blossom (mu noormehe lemmik)... Kui käpa peale saate ja hind liiga krõbe pole (näiteks välismaal), siis soovitan kindlasti!
NARS põsepuna "Orgasm" - tean, et kõik ilutüdrukud ja nende emadki on sellest põsepunast kuulnud, kuid see on lihtsalt imeline. Peenike kuldne sära ja imeilus virsikukarva toon sobivad hästi nii heledamale kui pisut tohkem päevitunud nahale. Imeline põsepuna, mida jään kasutama kindlasti väga pikalt! Jah, see maksab üpris palju, kuid sain enda oma maikuus, olen seda kasutanud praktiliselt iga päev ja alles on veel üle poole. ;)
Rimmel Lasting Finish huulepulgad - minul on toonid "Royalty", "Pink Chapagne", "Airy Fairy" ja 02 Kate Mossi kollektsioonist ja ma armastan neid kõiki - Rimmeli huulepulgad on kindlasti väga taskukohased, hea katvuse ja täitsa kobeda püsivusega. Mu hetkelemmik on "Royalty", sest mulle tundub, et lillad huuled lihtsalt sobivad mulle. :)
Versace Bright Crystal - mu läbi aegade lemmik parfüüm, muud polegi öelda. Magus, samas värske ja naiselik... Ma jumaldan seda parfüümi ja iga kord kui seda endale peale lasen, tõuseb mu tuju vähemalt viie palli võrra. :)
OPI "Opi Ink." ja Make Up Store "Monica" küünelakid - kui ma varem polnud sädelevatest küünelakkidest erilises vaimustuses, siis 2011. aasta lõpupoole avastasin enda jaoks nende võlu. :) Just need kaks jäid mulle enim silma, mõlemast on pildid SIIN ja SIIN.

Ongi kõik, eks näis, milliseid uusi tooteid uus aasta toob! Millised on teie lemmikud? :)

Outfit: New Year's Eve

2011-12-31T19:23:00.000+02:00

As I'm mostly at home this New Year's Eve, I decided to wear my new top, comfortable dark blue Zara jeans and as you can see... I chose comfortable footwear as well. :D

blouse: Vero Moda, jeans: Zara, socks: Seppälä, bracelet: Swarovski, nails: MUS "Monica", earrings: vintage

Shopping: A whole bunch of necessities

2011-12-29T16:06:00.000+02:00

I found myself running out of all my basic things in December, so I bought a lot of new everyday stuff during this month... :) Oh, and I have a really bad habit of throwing away receipts, so I might not remember the exact prices... :(

I needed a new shampoo and since I remembed really liking one Dove shampoo I used to have, I decided to try a new one from Dove. Since I have really thin and fine hair, I always buy volume shampoos. It didn't cost much, maybe about €3?

I ran out of my absolute favourite face wash, which I'll write about in my 2011 favourites, but when I was at the drugstore, I decided to get something else. I had also ran out of my gentle face scrub, so when I saw that I could get two Johnson's products for about €5, I grabbed these pink tubes... My old favourite costs about, €5,5 alone... Let's just hope that these work too. :)

These two are definitely just splurge items... I got them from mylook.ee (Estonian beauty sales site) for about €5 and €7. But they smell delicious and Escada one would be perfect for summer, since it also gives a bronze tint. Lacoste Pour Femme smells so good that I kind of want to get the perfume now... :D

I ran out of shampoo, face wash and... face creams. I got my favourite L'Oreal cream (I used to have Triple Active Day, but I really don't see any difference betweeen this and Hydrafresh... The smell maybe?) and since I always moisturize my face before I go to bed, I thought it's time to get a night cream as well so I don't run out of my day one as fast... I really like L'Oreal creams, they're great! The only downside? The heavy glass container, an absolute bugger when travelling... )

Since everyone's raving about the new Maybelline mascara and it was only €5,90, I got this. I also got the Garnier roll-on (about €11), which blends in nicely and gives decent coverage, but is way too dark and orange (maybe I should have gone with the light one?). I ran out of my black eye pencil and got a new one from Max Factor. It's great! Stays on the whole day and only smudges a little bit, but this has to do with my extremely greasy eyelids. :( I also got one in silver, but this was by accident... I was aming for a gorgeous purple one. :(

Let me know, if you'd like to see any reviews!

Kuna mul õnnestus detsembris kõik vajalikud tuubid ja potsikud tühjaks pigistada, siis täiendasin sel kuul korralikult oma igapäevaste iluvidinate varusid.
Uueks šampooniks sai Dove'i kohevusšampoon - ma pole seda varem proovinud, nii et eks hiljem selgub, kuidas see toimib. Lõhn on igatahes mõnus. :)
Kuna mu absoluutne lemmik näopesugeel sai otsa (kirjutan sellest 2011. aasta lemmikutes), siis suundusin uue järele - nähes aga, et sama hinnaga (€5,5) saaksin ma nii Johnson'si näopesugeeli kui õrna koorija, võtsin hoopis need kaks roosat tuubi. Kui kellelgi soovi, võin nendest ka arvustuse kirjutada. :)
Escada ja Lacoste'i kreemid tellisin mylook.ee-st ja ma otseselt ei vajanud neid, aga oeh, kui hästi need lõhnavad... Escada oma hoian suveks, sest lisaks mõnusale ja magusale lõhnale annab see ka pisut säravat jumet. See paneb mind mõtlema päevitunud jalgade eksponeerimisele... Lacoste Pour Femme lõhnab nii hästi, et ma tahaks endale ausalt öeldes ka seda parfüümi soetada...
Kuna olin ka oma päevakreemist viimse välja pigistanud, ostsin uuesti oma vana lemmiku L'Orealilt. Õigupoolest oli mul varem Triple Active Day, kuid Hydrafresh tundus mõnusam ja värskem - lõhn on sellel imehea. Et ma niisutan nägu ka igal õhtul, ostsin esimest korda elus endale öökreemi Triple Active Night- nii et saa päevane nii ruttu otsa. Soovitan neid kreeme kindlasti, need on mõnusalt niisutavad ja pole ka liiga kallid - kindlasti ostke need aga näiteks Prismast, sest ma ostsin päevakreemi Kaubamajast ja see maksis umbes 7 eurot, samas kui Prismas nägin neid soodukas umbes neljaga... :) Ainsaks miinuseks oleks ehk väiksemat sorti beebi kaalu olev klaaspurk - täielik tüütus näiteks reisimisel.
Viimasteks ostudeks on paljukiidetud Maybelline Falsies Flared, mis mind paraku millegagi veel vaimustada suutnud pole, kuid et selle saab Selverist hetkel kätte vaid 6 euroga, otsustasin seda proovida. Garnier roll-on (umbes 11 eurot) oli ammu mu soovinimekirjas - võtsin medium-tooni ja see oli pisut rumal tegu, sest ma ju ei teadnud, et keskmine nahatoon kujutab endast Oompa Loompa oranži... See on väga tume ja oranžikas - jumestuskreemi alla okei, aga niisama kandmiseks kindlasti mitte. Ometi pole mul just maailma heledaim nahk, vaid pigem oliivikarva... Max Factori silmapliiatsid haarasin, sest olin ikka ideaalse musta silmapliiatsi otsingul. Tundub, et ka leidsin selle - püsivus on suurepärane.

Andke teada, kui soovite millestki täpsemat arvustust!

Spoiled by Santa

2011-12-27T16:47:00.000+02:00

Santa was really generous this year, but it has to do with my big family and a lovely boyfriend with his family. I'm really thankful for everything I got and I would have been happy with just the absolutely delicious Lindt chocolates... I only have four left. :(

I love puzzles and my mom got me a new one - I think it's absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't stop staring at it on Christmas Eve. I also got Babyliss Easy Waves, which I asked for and straight off my Christmas wishlist my brother got me DKNY Golden Delicious perfume. It's kind of a tradition that I get new pajamas and some fuzzy socks every Christmas and this year I got these really cute ones from Seppälä. :) My sister got me "The Nutcracker" - something cute to watch during Christmas. But she also got me one of the biggest and most exciting gifts - a tripod and a remote controller for my camera! Outfit pictures without balancing a pile of books and shoe boxes under my camera, here I come! :D

My boyfriend really spoiled me this year, but it's okay, since I spoiled him too. :) We like spoiling each other and not just during Christmas. :)
He got me this Oh Land CD, which is really meaningful to both of us. He also got me my favourite Ferrero Rochers, a beautiful blouse that he saw me admiring and a new Swarovski charm for my bracelet! I love jewellery with wings and now I have a charm from him on my Swarovski bracelet. I couldn't be happier. :) If anyone's wondering, I got him a new bag for his camera, Dsquared "He Wood" perfume (a really really really great perfume, you should smell it! :D) and a T-shirt from his favourite band. :)
His mother and sisters got me a body care set and The Body Shop gift cards. I also got a beautiful soft face towel, but forgot to take a picture of it.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I also have a few Christmas Eve outfit pictures coming up, they're still in my sister's camera... But now I'm going to play checkers. Obsessed with this game lately...

Siin on mõningad pildid mu jõulukingitustest. :) Ei hakka pikka juttu tõlkima, kõik nimetatu on piltidel olemas. Esimene ports on mu perekonnalt, teine kallimalt ja tema perelt. Lähipäevadeks on planeeritud veel teisigi postitusi, nii et olge valvel. :)

chitchat

2011-12-19T20:36:00.000+02:00

This week is really-really hectic for me, so I'll probably squeeze in one more beauty related post before Christmas and then we can start with all the fun stuff, since I have NINE days off work if you count the weekends in! I can't even believe it myself... I already have a long list of posts I'm planning to do, including my 2011 favourites.
I've already bought and packed all the presents for my loved ones and I'll make sure to snap a picture of our Christmas decorations at my parents house. This year I made sure that I buy all the presents in the first two weeks of December to avoid any stress and sweating with tons of other stressed and sweaty people at the mall. Now they're all nicely wrapped in a cute Marks & Spencer wrapping paper - I went for reindeers this year. ;)
I was wondering if you guys wanted me to do a Christmas haul too? I know some people love them and some think it's pointless bragging, but I want your opinion - would you like to see one in my blog? I'd be happy to do it. :)

See nädal on tööl kohutavalt kiire, sest jõuludeks tuleb palju-palju põnevaid artikleid kirjutada. Niisiis mahutan ma nädala sisse vist vaid ühe iluteemalise postituse. Pärast seda aga võib kõige lõbusaga alustada, sest ma saan tervelt ÜHEKSA päeva puhata, kui nädalavahetused ka sisse lugeda! See on uskumatu ning mul on juba pikk nimekiri postitustest, mida plaanin, kaasa arvatud mu 2011 aasta lemmikud.
Olen juba kõik kingid valmis ostnud-pakkinud - otsustasin sel aastal kingitused hiljemalt detsembri keskpaigaks valmis osta, et ma ei peaks teiste stressis ja närvis inimeste vahel mõtlema, millist multifilmi mu vend tahaks või millised vannipommid emale Lushist valida. :D Nüüd on kingid ilusti Marks & Spenceri põhjapõtradega pakkepaberis ja ma tahan näha lähedaste nägusid, kui nad need avavad. :P
Üks küsimus ka - kas te tahaksite ka postitust sellest, mida "jõuluvana" mulle tõi? Tean, et paljudele meeldib selline asi ja olen isegi üks neist, kuid on ka neid, kelle meelest oleks see vaid tobe uhkustamine. Öelge kindlasti, mida teie asjast arvate. :)

Obsessed with scented candles...

2011-12-14T17:20:00.000+02:00

Candles, especially scented ones are really lovely - they make everything so much warmer and cosier. My absolute favourites are JOIK soy candles. I went a little candle crazy last week and bought a bunch, but relax - they're all going under the christmas tree for my loved ones. :)

I have Sweet Dreams (scent of fine French lavender and silky vanilla with rich coconut milk and hints of musk), Strawberries & Wine, Night (mixture of sandalwood, myrhh, vanilla, musk, black pepper and amber) and Fresh! (juicy and youthful fragrance combination of fresh apples, a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers, musk and sensual woods).

Ma armastan JOIKi küünlaid ja lõhnaküünlaid üleüldiselt. Need teevad kõik palju ilusamaks ja hubasemaks... Läksin eelmisel nädalal pisut hulluks ja ostsin tervelt viis küünalt. (Kaubamajas maksis üks küünal 5,90) Aga... need kõik lähevad jõulukuuse alla ja mitte ükski minu aknalauale. ;)
Kingin lähedastele küünlad Magus uni (lõhn, milles segunevad peen prantsuse lavendel ja kreemjas kookospiim ning kuhu aktsendiks on lisatud sensuaalset muskust ja näpuotsatäis õrna vaniljet), Vahuvein & Maasikad, Fresh! (värske lõhn seob endas karget õunalõhna, eksootilisi lillearoome ning sensuaalset puidulõhna. Nooruslik aroom, mida iseloomustab õuna, kurgi, greibi, magnooliate, piibelehe, roosi, kannikese, muskuse ning sandlipuu erakordne kooslus) ja Öö (müstiline ja seksikas lõhn - unikaalne segu sandlipuust, ambrast, vaniljest, muskusest ja mürrist).

p.s. Kirjeldused võetud joik.ee-st. :)

Battle of the Balms

2011-12-13T16:06:00.000+02:00

It's really important to take care of your lips, especially during colder seasons and ESPECIALLY if you love wearing beautiful bright lipsticks. ;) Today I'm comparing seven lip balms for you guys, so if you're looking for a new one it might be helpful to see how different balms work. But keep in mind - what works for me might not work for you and what doesn't work for me might be perfect for you. ;) That's the thing with reviews... You never really know.
p.s. The prices are from the Internet or my memory. :)

e.l.f Studio Conditioning Lip Balb SPF 15 - €4

This is my newest lip balm and mine is in Blissful Berry. It has a nice sweet smell, but the smell is a bit... cheapy. It gives a really nicely pigmented tint to my lips and contains SPF 15, which is always a plus. I hate the packaging, since it's ridiculously big for just 7,5g of product and takes up a lot of space in my makeup bag... So the packaging and the smell take some points off. But it is moisturising, which is kind of the point, isn't it?

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick - €22,90

This is pretty expensive in Estonia, but I got mine for €12,95 from mylook.ee. Yes, still expensive, but this is the only downside, seriously. I love the "medical" smell and the packaging is nice and sleek. This also has SPF 15, which is nice and when I have really chapped lips I apply this before bed and wake up with baby soft kissable lips. :) But this product runs out quite quickly since you get a lot with just one swipe over the lips. But it's still one of my favourites. A classic. :)

SLIDERS LIP BALM - €1,90

My mom got me this from a random store that sells home supplies. It was cute and cheap, so she got me the raspberry flavour. It makes my lips soft and that's all I really want when I apply a lip balm before lipstick or a lip gloss. But before bed I'd rather use something that's more moisturising.

Evolution of Smooth aka EOS Lip Balm - €2-3

My sister brought this back from New York this summer and I was really excited about this! All the beauty gurus were raving about these balms and I finally got one myself - you see, we don't have them in Estonia. :( I love EOS lio balm, the smell is divine and it's free of parabens and other yucky things. I'd really like to try other ones too. Oh, by the way, mine is in Summer Fruit. :)

The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter - €5

I'm not that sure about the price, I got mine from London. But on to the product... I had high expectations and the smell is really good, but this just isn't for me. It's really thick and leaves a white residue on my lips... Maybe it's just too thick for me. The packaging is my favourite - it's so cute!

MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner - €16

Another expensive lip pruduct that I was actually disappointed in. :( Yes, it has a really pretty packaging and it has SPF 15 - I have it in Fuchsia Fix and it gives a really nice sheer tint to my lips, but that's about it. It's just too greasy in my opinion. And I don't like greasy lip products - I feel like wiping my lips with a tissue or something...

Vaseline Lip Therapy with aloe vera - €2

I don't remember where I got this, but not from Estonia... It has a really nice smell and it feels like it soothes dry lips, but I don't really trust vaseline on my lips. Petroleum jelly doesn't sink in, so for moisturising purposes it's kind of pointless. But sometimes when my lips are irritated, I put this on and it soothes them. Again - for moisturising and healing purposes I'd suggest you pick something else. :)

So, I recommend Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick and EOS lip balms. :)
In the future I'd like to try out Burt's Bees...
What's your favourite lip balm? Leave a comment and recommend it! :)

Huulepalsam on üks tähtsamaid kosmeetikavahendeid, sest huulenahk on väga õrn ja kes tahaks katkistele huultele ilusat huulepulka kanda? ;) Võrdlesin teie jaoks seitset huulepalsamit, mis enda sahtlist, kottidest ja taskutest välja kaevasin. :)
e.l.f Studio Conditioning Lip Balb SPF 15 - €4 on uusim liige mu huulepalsamite kogus. See niisutab hästi ja annab huultele kena tooni. SPF selles on samuti suur pluss. Ainsad miinused oleksid odavavõitu lõhn ja ebanormaalselt suur pakens 7,5grammise toote kohta.
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick - €22,90 on Eestis hullupööra kallis, kuid mina sain enda oma umbes 13 euroga mylook.ee-st. See niisutab ja ravib, sisaldab SPF-i ja ma armastan selle "arstilikku" lõhna ja kui seda õhtul katkistele huultele panen, ärkan hommikul huultega, millele teeksin kasvõi ise musi. :) Üks mu kindlaid lemmikuid, mis tõestab ühtlasi, et klassikutes saab alati kindel olla.
SLIDERS LIP BALM - €1,90 on üks suvalisemaid palsameid, mis mul on. Ema ostis selle mulle mingist kodutarvete poest, sest see "nägi nunnu välja". See on mõnusa lõhnaga ja niisutab hästi - pakend on samuti mugav, sest ei pea korki keerama, saab lihtsalt kaane pealt nihutada. Polegi midagi halba öelda. :)
Evolution of Smooth aka EOS Lip Balm - €2-3 - selle tõi õde mulle New Yorgist kaasa, sest Eestis neid paraku ei müüda. Kahju, sest EOS palsam on üks mu lemmikuid - see on looduslik, vaba parabeenidest ja muust jamast, lõhnab imeliselt ja kas me võiksime hetkeks keskenduda selle maailma armsaimale pakendile? Niisutab, pehmendab huuli pikaks ajaks, on mugav kasutada... Soovitan, kui käpa peale saate!
The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter - €5 - Umbes sellise hinnaga sain selle Inglismaalt, Eestis maksab see palsam umbes poole rohkem. The Body Shop on üleüldse Eestis pisut ebanormaalsete hindadega, mistõttu varun endale nende tooteid siis kui välismaal käin. :) See huulepalsam on maailma mõnusaima lõhna ja armsaima pakendiga, kuid paraku pole see siiski minu jaoks... Koostiselt jube paks ja rasvane, jätab huultele inetu valge kihi ja justkui tekitab kuiva nahka hiljem juurde. Buuu. :( Samas on inimesi, kes seda väga kiidavad, nii et go figure...
MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner - €16 - SPF15 on pluss, lõhn on mõnus, pakend kena ja õrn roosakas toon armas... Kuid koostiselt on see minu jaoks liiga rasvane. Selline tunne on, nagu oleks rasva huultele määrinud... Seetõttu pole ma seda ka eriti palju kasutanud. Niisutuse poolest on see okei, aga rasvased huuled pole päris see, mida ma ühelt huulepalsamilt ootan. :D
Vaseline Lip Therapy with aloe vera - €2 - Seda on mõnus kanda ärritunud nahale, sest see justkui rahustab ja jahutab, kuid niisutuse ja ravi eesmärgil ma igasuguseid vaseliine ja petrooleumipõhiseid tooteid ei soovitaks - need ei imendu nahka ega paku sellele mingit sügavuti niisutust või ravi.

Minu soovitusteks jääksid Elizabeth Ardeni ja EOS-i huulepalsamid. :)
Mis teie lemmikud on? Soovitage kommentaarides! :)

A day in Helsinki!

2011-12-12T14:40:00.000+02:00

We went to Helsinki on Saturday and it was a really fun day with a few fails... We wanted to shop and visit a museum, but instead were greeted with pouring rain. And we didn't even get to visit many shops, since they all closed at 18 pm... On the way back it was so stormy that everyone had grey and green faces on the ship. I felt really disgusting. But... I got really nice leather boots for just 59 euros, some clothes for my younger brother and a whole box of my childhood's favourite - Suku Laku candies. :) And Helsinki was really pretty with all the christmas lights and all the shops had awesome window decorations... Only the snow was missing. :(

Käisime laupäeval Helsingis, et pisut šopata ja ehk ka mõnda muuseumisse piiluda. Helsingi tervitas meid tiheda vihmaga ja kell kuus sulgevate poodidega, nii et sellest ei tulnud suurt midagi välja... Kuid seltskond oli tore, Hemingway kohviku kakao imemaitsev ja mu uued nahksaapad täpselt sellised nagu olen endale tahtnud - maksin nende eest vaid 59 eurot, mis on kvaliteetsete nahksaabaste eest väga vähe küsitud (need olid soodukaga). Leidsin ka nooremale vennale pisut riideid. Tagasiteel kõigutas laev nii hirmsasti, et olin iga hetk valmis tualetti tormama või prügikasti järele haarama. Ometi jõudsin laevapoest osta terve karbi oma lapsepõlvelemmikuid Suku Lakusid. :D

Midnight Shopping

2011-12-11T15:54:00.001+02:00

On Friday I went to a midnight shopping event in my local mall with my boyfriend - we needed to get some christmas presents and I also found four things for myself... Nothing too exciting, I needed some warm clothes so I got a warm sweater from Mohito and a nice cardigan from Reserved. I also found this really cute bracelet from Mohito - it's exactly my style and would go so well with my leather jacket. The Lancome Juicy Tube was 25% off and my boyfriend fell in love with it when I tried this on at the store (yes, I cleaned the tube first and applied it first on my finger! :D), so I kind of had to get it.. Plus, I've always wanted one. They're so adorable. :)
p.s. Would you like me to include the prices in the future?

Käisin reedel koos kallimaga Kristiine Ööšopingul (ma keeldun kirjutamast "ööshopping" nagu plakatitel :D), et pisut jõulukinke osta, kuid leidsin loomulikult ka endale midagi. :) Reservedis ja Mohitos oli kogu kaup -40%, nii et sain endale talveks mõnusa pika kampsuni ja kardigani. Haarasin Mohitost ka selle käevõru, sest see on täpselt minu maitse ja sobiks ideaalselt mu nahkjakiga! Ja reede oli see päev, kui ma sain lõpuks oma elu esimese Lancome Juicy Tube huuleläike. Ideaalis oli kogu Lancome'i huulemeik -25% ning ma kasutasin juhust. :)
p.s. Kas te tahaks, et ma lisaks edaspidi hinnad ka?

Shopping: my first e.l.f products

2011-12-04T19:13:00.001+02:00

I've seen so many e.l.f hauls in the past and I finally decided to try some of their stuff out. To be honest... the 40% off code convinced me. Since I've never really tried anything from e.l.f I decided to get some of the things I've heard most about and some that just seemed interesting to me. Most of the stuff I really like, some are... ehh. Well, basically the stuff I chose myself is just plain blahh. :D I only got e.l.f studio products because the packaging is so much nicer... I'm all about the packaging.

Of course I had to get the contouring blush and bronzing powder. I really like the blush, but the bronzer is a bit too dark and orange for my skin. Maybe if I were more tanned...

The conditioning lip balm had been on my wishlist since I first heard people raving about this. I really like it - it's so soft and smooth and smells nice. Mine is in Blissful Berry, since the other two shades I had my eye on were sold out... The only thing that seems ridiculous is the packaging... it's huge and I can't fit this in my everyday makeup bag. :(

The eyeliner and shadow sticks seemed cool and I got them in Purple Plum and Green Moss. I love the colours of Green Moss, but the staying power is about five minutes, so... If anyone knows how to make these stay on longer, please let me know. :D

I think I was most excited about this stipple brush. I only have a regular foundation brush by Topshop, but I've always been interested in stipple brushes - and I really do get nice and more airbrushed coverage with this. Love it! Might order another one among with some cream blushes, which I also haven't tried yet...

I also got a nail polish in Metal Madness, but I've lost the picture... What I've learned from this order is that you can usually be sure about the products you've heard people raving about, but when you try out something yourself you might end up with another product that ends up in the bottom of your makeup drawer... For example, the nail polish has a really nice colour, but the consistency and the brush are just so messed up. Maybe I'm just spoiled by OPI... :D

In the future I'm interested in their cream blushes, tinted lip conditioners in other shades and minty lip glosses (I ordered some for other girls and they seemed really nice).

Tellisin seoses suure allahindlusega paar asja e.l.f-ist. Pildid räägivad enda eest, tahtsin proovida paljukiidetud põsepuna-päikesepuudri paletti, huulepalsamit ja nende stipple pintslit. Olen kõigi kolme tootega väga rahul, vaid paleti päiksepuudri osa on minu jaoks pisut liiga tume ja oranžikas. Laineri-lauvärvi pulgad (Green Moss ja Purple Plum) on väga ilusate värvidega, kuid püsivad peal umbes 5 minutit... Nii et kui keegi teab, kuidas neid kauem püsima saaks, siis võib julgelt nõu anda. Mõtlesin ka mõne e.l.f küünelaki ära proovida ja valisin Metal Madness'i, mis on väga lahe toon, kuid konsistents on kohutavalt paks ja aeglaselt kuivav ning pintsel oli täiesti segamini, mis ei hõlbustanud sugugi laki pealekandmist...
Tulevikus tahaksin proovida nende kreemjaid põsepunasid, teisi huulepalsameid ja piparmündiseid huuleläikeid (tellisin paar tükki teistele tüdrukutele ja need tundusid mõnusad). Kindlasti peaks ka veel mõningaid studio pintsleid proovima.

November Favourites

2011-12-03T14:29:00.001+02:00

I'll jump right into it. Not that many favourites this month. I've been really busy and haven't had time to experiment with new and exciting stuff.

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty
I love this stuff! It's really nice and fresh and my skin is feeling a lot better thanks to this. I've written a review about this product HERE. :)

Shiseido Brilliant Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Cream For Face
When I'm feeling a little pale (which happens a lot since I barely get any sunlight), this cream is brilliant. I apply it in in the evening after I've cleansed and moisturized my face and the next day everyone's complimenting on how fresh and tanned I look. It has an awful self-tanner smell, but it goes away fast. An absolute must have for winter! But yes... pricey.

Oriflame Body & Mind Sweet Dreams Mist
It's a really old bottle that I rediscovered a few weeks ago. I spray it in my room and on my sheets and it makes my bedroom smell really nice and relaxing. Lavender and apssion flower are soothing and it's really worth the "sweet dreams" part in it's name.

Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in 085 Royalty
It's a really gorgeous purple colour, perfect for night time. I wore it to a birthday last Friday (excuse the weird expression, it was a surprise picture :D)

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick
When I have really chapped lips, I apply this before bed and wake up with soft lips. Simple as that.

E. Funkhouser Lip Polish
I was thinking about writing a rave about this product, but I just didn't get to it... It's an excellent lip product and all my Estonian girls can order it from mylook.com for only about 3 EUR. ;)

That was a really short monthly favourites post, but I don't feel like rambling at the moment. Plus I have a really busy Saturday ahead. ;)

Hei, ei mingeid väga erutavaid lemmikuid sel kuul, kuid november oli lihtsalt tohutult kiire ja mul polnud aega ega põhjust uute ja huvitavate toodetega mängida...
Mu esimene lemmik on Mask of Magnaminty näomask Lushilt. See on tõeliselt värskendav ja puhastav ning mu näonahk tunneb end tänu sellele piparmündisele maskile palju paremini. Ülevalt "HERE" alt leiate ka arvustuse.
Shiseido Brilliant Bronze isepruunistav kreem näole on täiesti suurepärane, kui nägu on päikesepuuduse tõttu hauataguselt kahvatuks muutunud. Kui seda õhtul pärast puhastamist-kreemitamist näole kannan, kuulen järgmisel päeval kõigilt kui puhanud ja päevitunud ma välja näen. Super! Ainsad miinused on lõhn (see kohutav isepruunistava kreemi lõhn... ent see kaob mõne aja pärast) ja hind. Ütleme nii, et isegi kui see maksaks 50% vähem, oleks see ikka kallis...
Oriflame'i Sweet Dreams sprei leidsin sahtlipõhjast ja see on mul juba liiga kaua olnud. Piserdan seda oma tuppa ja voodilinadele ning see on tõeliselt mõnusa ja rahustava lõhnaga - ideaalne enne magamajäämist. See tekitas minus huvi erinevate toaspreide vastu, nii et kui teate häid, siis valgustage mind.
Rimmel Lasting Finish huulepulk toonis 085 Royalty on mu uus õhtune lemmik. Ma leian, et lillakad huuletoonid sobivad mulle ja lisasin ka pildikese, kus seda oma töökoha sünnipäevapeol kannan. See püsis terve õhtu väga ilusti peal, vaid korra pidin seda "värskendama".
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour huulepalsam on äärmiselt mõnus ja niisutav. Kui huuled on pisut katki, siis kui seda enne voodisse pugemist peale kanda, on hommikuks huuled pehmed ja mõnusad.
E. Funkhouseri huulekoorija on esimene huulekoorija, mida ma proovinud olen ja ma olen ar-mu-nud! Mõtlesin sellest ka arvustuse kirjutada, kuid siis jõudis laiskus minust ette... Igatahes soovitan ma kõigil seda proovida, see aitab vabaneda viimsest kui ühest jamast huultel. Näiteks kui tahad välja minnes huulepulka peale kanda, ent huuled on kuivad ja "tükkis", siis natuke hõõrumist sellega ja huuled on beebipehmed. Mis kõige parem, selle saab mylook.ee-st vaid umbes 3 euroga! ;)

Rohkem lemmikuid mul sel kuul pole, ehk on detsember selles osas rikkalikum. :)

Christmas Beauty Wishlist

2011-12-02T18:06:00.001+02:00

I haven't blogged for almost two weeks and I feel really bad about it, but I leave home when it's still dark in the morning and come back home when it's already dark... So fall and winter are really not that good seasons for blogging in Estonia. BUT! It's Friday and I have a long list of things to take pictures of during the weekend. I'll do my November favourites, a haul and a few other exciting posts. :)

Blah blah blah, what I really wanted to say was... IT'S DECEMBER! It'll be Christmas soon! I love absolutely everything about Christmas, but above all I love getting presents for my loved ones. I really enjoy picking out stuff for everyone and I'm usually done with it in the first two weeks of December. I love getting presents as well... Who doesn't? I thought I'd share my Christmas beauty wishlist with you guys. No way I'm going to get everything on the list, but a girl is allowed to dream, isn't she? :)

MAC eyeshadows in All That Glitters and Taupe

I've wanted to try out MAC eyeshadows for a long time now and I've always had my eye on these two colours. They would be perfect for my everyday look, because I always use a lighter shimmer on my lid and a darker one in the crease. Plus, they're small and compact and I feel like they would last me for ages. These two are definitely on my list!

Benefit POWda WOWza box

This has three of Benefit's most popular powder products in it: Coralista, Bella Bamba and Hoola. The first two are blushes and the last one is a bronzer, but you probably already know this. It would be absolutely perfect since I don't own a coral blush and I've always wanted to try out Bella Bamba and Hoola. This box would be great for travelling as well, wouldn't it?

Glitter nail polish in gold

I'd love to have a gold glitter nail polish for Christmas. It would look really nice in New Year's Eve and I've been into glitter for quite some time now. It doesn't really have to be this exact nail polish, but I love the design of OPI polishes and "Bring On The Bling" is a really nice polish.

Origins Ginzing eye cream

I need a good eye cream, I really do! We don't have Origins in Estonia, which is a bummer, but Ginzing has gaught my eye and I can't get it out of my head. Dr. Hauschka's eye cream would be nice too, but I definitely want my eye cream to be natural and good guality.

DKNY Golden Delicious EdP

It smells exactly like something I would like to wear when I go out during colder months. It's fruity, but not as fruity and fresh as other DKNY apple perfumes. A 30 ml bottle would be enough, since it wouldn't really be my everyday perfume.

That's it! Now I want to know what's on YOUR Christmas beauty wishlist!

Ma tean, et pole juba ligi kaks nädalat midagi postitanud, kuid ma lähen tööle pimedas, jõuan koju pimedas ja eelmisel nädalavahetusel olin täiesti siruli ja haige. Nüüd on aga kõik hästi, sest käes on reede ja mul on pikk nimekiri asjadest, mis tuleb nädalavahetusel kindlasti üles pildistada!
Detsember on käes ja see tähendab lähenevaid jõule. Ma armastan jõulude juures absoluutselt kõike, kuid enim armastan lähedastele kingituste tegemist - enamasti olen sellega detsembri keskpaigaks juba ühelpool. Ent peale kinkide tegemise on loomulikult väga tore kinke saada!
Panin kokku oma iluteemalised jõulusoovid. Tean, et ei saa siit nimekirjast sugugi kõike, kuid tüdrukul on ju lubatud unistada, mis?

MAC lauvärvid "All That Glitters" ja "Taupe"
Kasutan igapäevaselt heledamat sädelevat lauvärvi kogu laul ja tumedamat varjutamiseks. Need kaks tooni oleksid selleks ideaalsed - mulle meeldib, et need on kompaktsed ja ma ei pea tervet paletti endaga kaasas kandma, kui näiteks reisile või ööseks mujale lähen. Näiteks praegu kannan kaasas Wet n' Wild kuuest paletti, millest kasutan vaid kahte, äärmisel juhul kolme tooni...

Benefit POWda WOWza komplekt
Selles on Benefiti tuntuimad põsepunad Coralista ja Bella Bamba ning nende kuulsaim päikesepuuder Hoola. Olen neid kõiki proovida igatsenud ja nüüd on need ühte komplekti kokku pandud. TAHAN! :D

Sädelev küünelakk
Vana-aastaõhtul oleks see ideaalne ja ma olen üleüldse viimasel ajal maru tihti kõige blingiva poole piiluma hakanud. OPI "Bring On The Bling" on täpselt see, mida ma ideaalis sooviksin. Kaubamajas seda aga polnud, nii et ma ei tea, kust jõuluvana küll selle välja peaks võluma...

Silmakreem
Ma tunnen üha rohkem, et ma vajan hädasti silmakreemi. Tahaksin Originsi Ginzing kreemi, kuid et Originsi Eestis pole, siis olen uurinud ka Dr. Hauschka oma. Olen silmakreemi osas valiv, sest see peaks kindlasti olema looduslik ja igasugusest keemiast vaba. Mu nahk, juuksed ja küüned saavad juba piisavalt keemiat, säästkem siis vähemalt silmi.

DKNY Golden Delicious parfüüm
See lõhnab nii-iiiiii hästi! Tahaksin seda kanda iga kord kui jahedal ajal väljas käin. 30-millisest pudelikesest piisaks täiesti, sest kohe kindlasti pole see selline parfüüm, mida ma igapäevaselt kannaks. Just midagi pisut mõnusamat õhtuseks ajaks. Golden Delicious on puuviljane nagu teisedki DKNY "õunaparfüümid", kuid see on oluliselt rikkalikum ja sügavam, kui nii saab öelda.

Ongi kõik! Mis on teie jõulusoovide ilunimekirjas? :)

Lazy girl's new makeup storage

2011-11-20T15:11:00.000+02:00

I already posted a picture of my old "makeup storage" here, but since I got some new things I had a problem with fitting everything there. Stuff always fell off from the pile and it was just annoying. So I went to Tiimari and got this box for €2. Me and my makeup are much happier now. Really, girls, I'm never gonna be someone who has all her lipsticks, blushers and all that other fun stuff laid out perfectly. My messy box of makeup is so much more fun! Plus a box is a good way to keep my feet on the ground - as soon as I can't close the lid I know I have too much and it's time to start "project 10 pan" or something. ;)

Mu eelmine meigiasjade paigutus oli muutumas väga ebamugavaks - iga kord kui ma midagi võtta tahtsin, lagunes kuhi laiali ja see kujunes lihtsalt... NII tüütuks! :D Käisin nädalavahetusel Tiimaris ja leidsin sealt 2 euroga armsa triibulise karbi. Mõeldud-tehtud, tutvuge mu uue meigihoidjaga! :D Ma pole kunagi olnud see, kes oma huulepulki, küünelakke ja puudritopse korralikult virna laoks, selline organiseeritud kaos on palju minulikum.
Pealegi on karp hea moodus end maa peal hoida - kui kaas enam kinni ei lähe, siis tean, et mul on liiga palju meiki ja on aeg endale mõneks ajaks ostukeeld peale panna ja tooted lõpuni kasutada. :D

Shopping: a bit of everything

2011-11-20T15:10:00.000+02:00

Yesterday when I went shopping I only had one lipstick in my head, but I ended up with a bunch of stuff. Oops, I guess I'll have to eat noodles until my next payday. :D But most of the stuff I really did need, so it's not that bad. I'm still a sensible shopper who doesn't buy stuff just because "she doesn't own anything in this colour".

I needed a new hairspray and saw that got2b volume hairspray was on sale for €4,29. I already have the same volume hair mousse and it's really good. Smells absolutely delicious! I had already reached for it when I noticed that with any got2b purchase you get a free mascara by Gosh. So I did. Yay for freebies!

I decided to try out the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, but silly me accidentally got the serum. Already tried this, doesn't give much coverage, but I guess it's okay for daytime, when my skin is in a good condition (which now is not the case unfortunately :( ).

A new Rimmel lipstick. I love Rimmel Lasting Finish lippies and I was really drawn to 085 Royalty, which is a purple colour. Should be great for fall, plus purple lips suit me quite well.

I ran out of my daily moisturiser by L'Oreal and decided to give JOIK facial day cream with rose hip and wheat germ oil a go. So far, so good. Really liquidy though, I prefer creamier and thicker moisturisers for my face - especially for winter.

I found this necklace from Seppälä for €2! What a bargain, such a nice necklace for summertime. :) And the feathers I just grabbed with me... I thought navy feathers would be nice for wintertime.

Last, but definitely not least - I finally got new leather boots for winter! They're really simple and black - exactly what I expect my winter boots to be. Plus, they were on sale, which was awesome. Everywhere I looked, you had to pay at least €140 for decent leather boots, but I got these for only €69 from Shu!

Hei! Ajasin sel nädalavahetusel oma eelarve lõhki, kuid õigustan end sellega, et detsembris ostan peamiselt teistele kingitusi ja... Mul oli paljusid neist asjadest ikka tarvis ka. Ja noh, nuudlid on ju head, miks mitte neid kuu lõpuni süüa? :D
Esmalt jahtisin uut juukselakki ja avastasin, et ühest mu lemmikust got2b juuksevahust on ka volüümi andva juukselaki variant olemas. See oli ka 4,29 euro peale alla hinnatud ja got2b tootega sai tasuta kaasa Goshi ripsmetuši! Mind ootas see kena üllatus Kristiine keskuse Prismas, nii et kui kellelgi veel huvi on, siis lipake aga Prismasse. :)
Teiseks vajasin uut jumekat ja poes meenus mulle, kui palju viimasel ajal Bourjois'i Healthy Mix jumestuskreemi on kiidetud. Paraku ostsin rumal mina seerumi, mitte tavalise jumeka, nii et... Katvus pole just suurepärane, pigem sobib see nendeks päevadeks, mil tahan vaid kerget meiki ja enda nahaga probleeme pole.
Ostsin ka uue huulepulga. Mulle on alati lillakad toonid sobinud, kuid mul polnud veel ainsatki lillat huulepulka. Niisiis on Rimmeli 085 Royalty nüüd uusim liige mu huulepulkade kollektsioonis. :)
Mu mõnus L'Oreali näokreem sai otsa, nii et otsustasin JOIK-i oma ikkagi järele proovida. See on väga-väga vedel, kuid mulle meeldivad pigem paksemad kreemid, eriti talvisel ajal. Samas on see ikkagi väga mõnus ja niisutav, pealegi väga armsas ja mugavas pakendis. :)
Seppäläst leidsin need sulelised ehted, kaelakee muide vaid 2 euroga Viru keskuse Seppäläst!
Viimaks - tähtsaim ost! Sain lõpuks uued talvesaapad. Mu eelmised teenisid mind truult kolm talve ja nüüd oli viimane aeg uute jaoks. Mind ajas saabaste otsimine üpris ahastusse, sest alla 140 euro kusagil normaalsete mustade nahksaabaste eest ei küsitud. Siis aga astusin Shu-sse ja leidsin sealt need klassikalised mustad talvesaapad vaid 69 euroga!

Girl, what's in your bag?

2011-11-19T19:05:00.001+02:00

Not much originality from me tonight, but hey - it's Saturday! I'm about to cook pasta with chicken and blue cheese and drink some sparkling wine with my love - our cute way to celebrate my name day (I have two of them, haha!).

But before I throw my penne in the pot, I'll share the inside of my bag with you. All secrets revealed!

As you might already know, this fall I carry a replica of Alexander Wang Rocco bag. It's really nice and spacious, but I kind of wish it had a long strap too. Plus, sometimes I feel that if I put something in this bag, it will disappear forever. :D

I don't carry a bunch of makeup with me. Only the things I really need have the privilege to hang around with me all day. In my gorgeous makeup bag are my face powder, a mascara, a brow pencil, a lipstick, a mini perfume and a lip balm.

I always have hairspray with me and I carry a face mist to freshen up my makeup during the day. The shea body butter is really nice and thick for colder weathers and a scented body lotion by Salvatore Ferragamo smells delicious and works really well in case I don't feel like wearing my perfume.

Got to have my purse and iPod with me at all times. Money and music - my two favourite M-s. :D Or did I just betray makeup by saying that? :S

I have my planner for work and school and I'm obsessed with carrying around more than one pen. I always have a book with me, currently it's "My Alaska" by Maria Kupinskaja.

Ahh, and the boring gloves and tissues.

I want to know what's in YOUR bag! If you've already done this post, link it in the comments so that the nosy part of me will be satisfied. :D

Have a great Saturday night! :)

Võtsin kätte ja tegin lõpuks kotipostituse ära - niisiis, ei midagi originaalset täna, kuid usun, et kuna on laupäev, siis suudate selle mulle andestada. Hakkan kohe pastat kana ja sinihallitusjuustuga kokkama ning kallimaga vahuveini jooma - meie väike armas viis mu nimepäeva tähistada. Üht kahest, haha!

Nagu näete, siis ei midagi väga erilist mu sügiseses Rocco kotis- pisut päeva jooksul tarvis minevat meiki, juukselakk (mis on minuga ALATI kaasas), niisutav ja lõhnastav kreem, rahakott ja iPod, pooleli olev raamat, märkmik, peotäis pastakaid (sest sa ei tea kunagi, millal sul pastakat tarvis võib minna ja siis kui läheb, saab see üks ja ainus tühjaks!) ning kindad ja salvrätikud, sest sügis on juba ammu käes.

Mis teie kotis leidub? Kui olete juba selleteemalise postutuse teinud, siis visake mulle link kommentaaridesse, et ma saaksin oma uudishimu rahuldada. Kui mitte, siis tehke!

Mõnusat õhtut kõigile. :)

Shopping: Elizabeth Arden, E. Funkhouser

2011-11-16T19:56:00.000+02:00

Colder winters were really bugging my lips, so I finally decided to give EA 8 Hour lip protectant a go. And since I was already ordering stuff... a lip polish and a brow powder also found their way to my basket. Oops! I received my package yesterday and was really excited. Opening packages is one of the greatest pleasures for a beauty junkie, don't you agree?

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick cost me €12,95 which is not that cheap, but I've always wanted to try this. Having chapped lips and a really painful irritation in the corner of my lips kind of gave me an excuse to finally try this.

E. Funkhouser lip polish (€3,20) had so many great reviews and since I've never really tried any lip scrubs or polishes before I was excited to see if it works. It does, a review is coming up!

E. Funkhouser brow powder in brunette(€3,20). Just because I've always used a pencil, but wanted to see if a powder would work for me. Also, many freat reviews pushed me to add it to my basket. I'm so weak. :(

A 0,8 ml sample of Lolita Lempicka perfume was added as a nice little gift. To be honest, I don't really like it. Too strong and sweet for my taste.

That's all! It felt great sharing my little haul with you guys - it's like getting the things all over again. :D

Kuna külm tuul oli mu huultega üks-null teinud, siis otsustasin lõpuks Elizabeth Ardeni huulepalsami tellida. Mingil imeväel jõudsid koos sellega mu korvi ka kaks E. Funkhouseri toodet - kulmupuuder ja huulekoorija. Ups... Sain paki eile kätte ja olin nagu laps jõuluõhtul. Olen seda alati, minu meelest on pakkide avamine üks huvitavamaid asju - ehkki olen Internetis toodet juba iga nurga alt uurinud, on ikka põnev vaadata ja katsuda, kuidas see päriselt välja näeb.

Elizabeth Ardeni 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick huulepalsam maksis 12,95 eurot, mis pole just odav, kuid olen alati tahtnud seda proovida. Nüüd on mul üks suunurk päris pahasti katki ja ükski tavaline huulepalsam sellest jagu ei saanud. Nii oligi aeg rakendada tõsiseid meetmeid ja 8 Hour kreeme on alati väga palavalt kiidetud. Näis siis. :)

E. Funkhouseri huulekoorijal oli Mylook-i lehel meeletult positiivseid arvustusi. Ma ei saanud vastu panna ja tellisin selle ära - 3,20 polnud ka liiga palju küsitud selle eest. Ma polnud kunagi ühtegi huulekoorijat proovinud ning tahtsin näha, kas see ka minu jaoks nii hästi töötab. Väga-väga hästi töötab, arvustus on peagi teel! ;)

E. Funkhouseri kulmupuudri soetasin ka puht huvi pärast. Hind oli sama, mis huulekreemil - 3,20 eurot. Ma pole seda veel kasutada jõudnud, kuid näis, mis saab - olen seni vaid kulmupliiatseid usaldanud.

Väikse Lolita Lempicka parfüümi 0,8 ml sämpli sain ostuga kingiks kaasa. Fuhh, liiga kange, magus ja lagritsane mu jaoks.

Ongi kõik! :)

Review: Rimmel Volume Flash The Max

2011-11-15T14:46:00.000+02:00

Next to MaxFactor Masterpiece, Rimmel Volume Flash The Max (why do some mascaras have such long names?) is the only mascara I've bought more than once. It's an absolutely great mascara, one of my favourite drugstore ones. It gives length, volume and doesn't clump. You won't find it under your eyes when you get home late and you can wash it off with just some warm water (tip your fingers in warm water, hold your lashes between your fingers and just pull it off). Id does take a few uses to be at it's best, but I find this with so many mascaras... first it's "ehh", but after a week or two you can say "wow". :)

PROS

gives length and volume
washes off easily
price - it's not expensive, but works wonders. I'm sorry, I don't remember the exact price.

my lashes without and with mascara

CONS

packaging - I'm not a fan of the packaging, to me it looks cheap and tacky. I like black and golden tubes.

Have you tried this mascara?

MaxFactor Masterpiece'i kõrval on Rimmel Volume Flash The Max (miks on ripsmetuššidel nii pikad nimed?) ainus ripsmetušš, mida olen ostnud enam kui ühe korra. See on suurepärane tušš, mis annab pikkust ja volüümi ning ei lähe tükki. Samuti ei leia sa seda päeva lõpuks oma silmade ümbrusest. Seda tušši on lihtne maha pesta, piisab ka vaid soojast veest. Kasta lihtsalt sõrmed sooja vette, hoia ripsmeid veidi aega sõrmede vahel ja lihtsalt tõmba tušš maha. Küll aga on sellega nagu mitmete teiste ripsmetuššidega - alguses on see "meh", kuid pärast 1-2 nädalat näitab oma tõelist palet ja toimib suurepäraselt.

PLUSSID

annab pikkust ja volüümi
tuleb kergelt maha
soodne - vaatamata soodsale hinnale töötab see suurepäraselt. Vabandan, kuid ma ei mäleta hetkel täpset hinda.

MIINUSED

pakend - minu meelest näeb see välja pisut odav ja maitsetu, eelistan musti ja kuldseid tuube. Kuid see on puhtalt maitseasi.

Kas olete seda tušši proovinud?

On my nails: Make Up Store "Monica"

2011-11-14T19:43:00.001+02:00

My little sample of MaxFactor nail polish in "Angel Nails" was running out and then quickly replaced by Make Up Store's nail polish in "Monica" - they're basically the same, but the finish of MUS one is more sleek and just a bit lighter. I absolutely love silver-shimmery nails for fall and winter. Since I mostly wear black and grey then, it gives a nice pop of shimmer to my outfits. Also, when I don't feel like wearing any colour on my nails, this colour still doesn't bug me. It's perfect!

p.s. Love the packaging! I almost don't want to toss it in my precious box of nail polishes...

Mu pisike tester MaxFactori küünelakist "Angel Nails" (sain selle kunagi MF ostuga väikeses kotikeses kaasa) hakkas otsakorrale jõudma ning asendasin selle ruttu Make Up Store'i lakiga "Monica". Värv on põhimõtteliselt identne, MUS oma jääb pisut heledam ja siledam. Ma armastan sügis-talvel hõbedasi-sätendavaid küüsi. Kuna kannan siis enamasti musta ja halli, annab see mulle pisut "blingi" juurde. Päevadel, mil ma ei taha eriti üldse mingit lakki kanda, saan ma aga sellise tooni ikka niimoodi välja kantud, et see ei hakka mulle närvidele käima.
Ning ma armastan Make Up Store'i pakendeid. Ma peaaegu, et ei raatsigi seda lakipudelit oma küünelakkide karpi peitu panna...

Review: Lush - Angels on Bare Skin

2011-11-13T01:22:00.001+02:00

I've used this face cleanser for about 10 days now and I really like it. Mostly because it's all natural and I feel proud of myself when I put natural stuff on my face and not some blue, pink or orange products full of chemicals... but it's just generally nice too. :)

PROS

it’s natural – definitely a pro, isn’t it?
it’s exfoliating – it’s nice and exfoliating, but not too harsh on your skin.Nice and gentle.
leaves skin soft – my skin is really nice and soft after using this, definitelynot tight and screaming for some moisturiser.

CONS

the price – 5,95 for a product that lasts probably for about 1,5 months is notthat cheap.
the smell – it has a really strong lavender smell and I’m not a big fan oflavender stuff
takes time –first you have to take a little piece of it, then add some waterand rub your hands together to get a paste... it takes a lot more time and isalso messier than just squeezing something out of a tube
doesn’t get rid of makeup – if you have foundation on, it doesn’t really getrid of it. At least my skin doesn’t feel clean enough after. But it’s perfect fora makeup free face or face with just mineral powder on it.

Would I recommend this? Yes. Would I repurchase? Probably, but I like tryingnew stuff and barely ever buy the same face cleanser twice.
More: www.lush.com

Eesti keeles:

Olen Lushi näopuhastajat Angels on Bare Skin nüüd umbes kümme päeva kasutanud.See meeldib mulle tõesti... juba seetõttu, et tegu on üleniloodusliku, mitte keemiat täis tuubitud tootega.

PLUSSID

naturaalne – see on ju kindlasti pluss, eks?
kooriv – see on ühtlasi mõnus õrnatoimeline koorija
jätab naha pehmeks ja värskeks – mu nahk on pärast beebipehme ja terve kumaga,mitte kiskuv ja näokreemi järele karjuv

MIINUSED

hind – 5,95 eurot toote eest, mis kestab maksimaalselt poolteist kuud pole justodav.
lõhn – sel on väga-väga tugev lavendlilõhn ja ma ei armasta eritilavendlilõhnalisi tooteid
aeganõudev – esmalt tuleb tükike võtta, siis sellele vett lisada ja toodepastaks hõõruda... See on kohe kindlasti tüütum ja aeganõudvam kui lihtsalttoote tuubist, purgist või kust iganes mujalt välja võtmine ja näole kandmine
ei eemalda meiki – ehkki see ka koorib, ei saa see jagu kogu meigist, seda siisjuhul kui peal on jumestuskreem, peitekreem, puuder ja kõik see muu tore möks. Ent kui nägu on meigivaba või vaid puudri või mineraalmeigiga kaetud, siis ei tohiks küll probleemi olla. ;)

Kas ma soovitaksin seda teistele? Kindlasti, see on mõnus asi, mida järeleproovida. Ise ma seda vast uuesti ei osta, kuid vaid seetõttu, et ma ostanvaevu üht näopuhastajat mitu korda... Mulle meeldib aina uusi asju proovida. :)

There's something about JOIK

2011-11-12T22:42:00.001+02:00

JOIK is a natural cosmetics brand in Estonia. Their stuff is handmade, smells delicious and is really beautifully packaged. I was visiting my parents home during the weekend and saw that my mom still had a lot of JOIK stuff unused in the bathroom so I decided to take some pictures of them to show you guys. The candles are my personal favourites, they make the whole room smell absolutely delicious. I'm excited to try some of their face and body lotions too, but at the moment I have so many creams, lotions and body butters that I don't really have an excuse to buy some more... :(

Scented soywax candle - strawberries & wine

Deep moisturizing hand & foot salve with emu oil

Light eye cream with mango butter and argan oil

Lemongrass soap with seasalt

Rose soap with red clay

Exfoliating oatmeal soup with honey

Grapefruit soap with carrot juice

White chocolate bath-truffles

Eestis teavad kindlasti kõik juba JOIK-i. Nende käsitsi tehtud tooted lõhnavad lihtsalt imeliselt ja minu meelest on kõik nende tooted äärmiselt stiilselt pakitud. Käisin nädalavahetusel vanematekodus, kus avastasin, et emal on terve sahtlitäis veel kasutamata JOIK-i kraami. Otsustasin need teiega jagamiseks pildile püüda. Mu isiklikud lemmikud on alati olnud nende küünlad - terve tuba lõhnab imeliselt ja küünal põleb ilusti põhjani, mitte ei vaju pärast 2-3 tundi auku. Ma tahaksin väga ka mõnd nende näo- või kehakreemi proovida, kuid mul on hetkel nii palju kreeme, et uue ostmine ei õigustaks end kohe kuidagi... Milliseid JOIK-i tooteid teie proovinud olete? Kas nende näokreemid on head?

Outfit: I love my stripes!

2011-11-12T16:01:00.001+02:00

I can't seem to get over stripes... Once they reminded me middle-aged Scandinavian tourists who took over the old town of Tallinn during the summer, but now every third item in my closet has stripes on it...

Review: Lush - Mask of Magnaminty

2011-11-12T14:00:00.001+02:00

Mask of Magnaminty is a face mask/cleanser I got fromLush about a week ago. Since then I've used it twice on my face and twice onjust my nose.

PROS

the price - €4,9 for 125 g is not that expensive. I feel that I can use this at least 15-20 times. Again, I've used it twice on my face, twice on my nose and my bf used it once on his face, yet there's barely any used from it. So it's a lot cheaper than many other face masks out there.
the smell - it's really refreshing and nice!
the feel - it's so minty that it almost feels cold on your skin a few minutes after applying. And after I rinse it off my skin feels really soft and fresh.
the effect - I really feel like it's "sucking out" my blackheads and all that other yucky stuff. That's why I sometimes apply it only on my nose - that's where I get all my annoying blackheads.

CONS

Rinsing - it's so hard to wash it off after. I can't really agree with what they say on their website: "The first thing about this mask is that it has to go on easily over the skin. It is what we call ‘slip’ in the industry. On sensitive skin you don’t want anything that drags, because it can cause already disrupted skin to inflame and go puffy." Yes, it does go easily on the skin, but you have to drag the hell out of your skin to get it off and that's not very nice. That's probably why your skin looks a bit red after.

Do I recommend this? Yes! But don’t feel like you have tobuy the 315 g pot, because it really takes time to use it up. But does anyoneknow – am I supposed to keep this in my fridge?

Eesti keeles:

Ostsin nädalakese eest Lushi näomaski/puhastaja Mask ofMagnaminty. Olen sellest saati kasutanud seda kaks korda näol, kaks korda ninalja korra laenas seda ka mu noormees... Õigemini määrisin ma talle endaga samalajal näkku.

PLUSSID

hind – 4,9 eurot 125 grammise potsiku eest pole sugugi paljuküsitud, sest seda jätkub tõenäoliselt 15-20 korraks
lõhn – väga värske ja mõnus!
tunne – see on hästi värskendav ja mündiselt jahutav, enim mõned minutid pärastpeale panemist, enne kui see kuivama hakkab
mõju – mul on tõesti tunne, et see teeb ninal olevate vastikute komedoonidega(mustpeadega) üks-null. Ka imeb see pooridest ära sinna kogunenud mustuse jamuu fui-fui.

MIINUSED

loputamine – selle maski maha loputamine on tõeline peavalu. Vahel on multunne, et ma võin oma nägu sooja veega nühkima jäädagi, kuid pärast avastanikka nina juurest rohelisi täpikesi. See pole eriti vahva, sest ma pean siisoma nahka päris palju hõõruma ja venitama, mistõttu on see pärast kergelt punetavja õrn.

Kas ma soovitaksin seda teistele? Kindlasti! Need, kellel on mure rasuse nahaja tüütute komedoonidega, võivad avastada, et see mask võib imesid teha. Päraston nahk beebipehme ja pärast mõningad kasutamist on poorid silmnähtavaltkahanenud. Küll aga, ärge tundke, et peate ostma kohe 315 grammise potsiku.Väiksemast piisab algul täiesti.

Aga äkki keegi tark teab... Kas ma peaksin seda jahedas hoidma?

My first box bag!

2011-11-10T19:51:00.000+02:00

So, my mom likes to buy stuff online - finding vintage or just cool stuff for a cheap price from other people seems to just be one of her "things". Today she got one package and this bag popped out. "I got you this, you can hold your jewellery in here or something," she said. When I took a proper look at this little bag I fell in love. It reminds me one of those vintage box bags and looks really lovely. It has it's personality and it's a bit... quirky and new for me, but I really like it. What a perfect bag for theater, isn't it? Oh, and can you guess the price? €0,60! It says "Harrods Knightsbridge Made Exclusively" inside, so I guess it's originally from Harrods?

Mu emale meeldib Internetis šopata, eriti meeldib talle leida vanaaegset mööblit või pildiraame. Täna hüppas aga koos küünlajalaga pakist välja see väike kott. "Ostsin selle sulle, saad siin oma ehteid hoida näiteks," ütles ta. Kui ma aga selle endale õlale panin, otsustasin siiski, et kannan seda ka väljas. Täiesti ideaalne ja n-ö iseloomuga kott näiteks teatriks käimiseks. Ja teate, palju see maksis? 0,6 eurot!
