FOTD: warm smokey eye

2012-05-28T10:21:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

I am so back in time when it comes to posting FOTD's - this is the look that I wore to Student day's event back in the end of the April.
Eyeshadows are from NYX Smokey eyes 10 pan palette. Brow highlight is from Too faced romantic eye palette. Foundation that I used was Avon ideal flawless in Ivory. Lipgloss is NYX megashine in smokey look.
I didn't feel like using a dark eyepencil in my lower waterline, but you can add it if you have bigger eyes than me, to get more sexy-smokey look. :)

Here you can take a look at the eyelook more closer. hahaa and a proof that I don't have a perfect skin. :D

Thank you for reading!

Weekend in photos

2012-05-27T16:50:00.001+03:00

Hei, kuna täna on mu sünnipäev, siis mõtlesin, et postitan mõned fotod, mille juba uue kaameraga teinud olen. Kuna ma sünnipäeva ei pidanud, siis peopilte siin pole. Samuti ei taha ma siia postitada oma lähedaste ja sõprade pilte - see on siiski avalik blogi ja midagi tahaks endale ka jätta. :)
Esimesed pildid on reedest - käisime ema juures grillimas ja oli rahulik õhtupoolik. Vaate pildid on täna öösel tehtud Tigutorni tipust - imeline vaade Tartule! Tigutorn ei ole minu teada nö turismiobjekt, aga kui teil on mõni tuttav, kes seal elab, siis laske endale katuse ekskursioon teha. :)
Since today is my birthday, here is some random photos taken with my new camera. I didn´t have a birthday party and also I don´t want to post here everyone´s photos, I would like to keep some things private.

Make up geek, MAC, Make up store eyeshadows in UNI palette.

My most used makeup brushes in a new cup.
Mu pintslid uues topsis- kellel huvi, siis Tiimatist saab topsi.

My cat - she didn´t trust camera very much as you can see from her face :D

We went for a walk and met a hedgehog.

And finally some views from Tartu´s highest building- Tigutorn.

Review: ArtDeco High Precision Eyeliner

2012-05-26T16:12:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Today I am reviewing ARTDECO high precision eyeliner for you - it happens to me my favorite at the moment. I can't remembe rexaclty when I bought it, but it defenitely was more than 5 months ago. Artdeco claims this to be a long lasting, intense black liquid liner and I have to agree with them. I haven't had any problems with it flaking off or smearing - stays on really well all day long. I haven't tried a whole bunch of artdeco products, but the ones I have, I have loved. I have tried artdeco eyeshadow base and it worked ok, but I didn't like that it came in a jar, so you had to stick your finger in to get the product out, a bit unhygenic.

In Estonia we can buy Artdeco in Kaubamaja, ILU and in Rosalind - this liner comes in a pen form and contains 0.55ml of product. Instead of your regular felt tip, it has innovative brush as they call it - this is made up of bunch of fine synthetic fibres. Brush is one of the reaseons, why I didn't love this product at first - it bends! so it took me some time to get used to it. Also I haven´t been able to make too thin lines with it, because the very end of the brush seems to be too dry. This doesn't bother me too much, because I like my eyeliner bold. You can change the thickness of the liner by applying more or less pressure.

As far as the color goes, this is truly intense black color. It isn't totally matte, more shiny black in my opinion.

This is kind of expensive product, normal price is around 15€ (about 20$).

Please note that this product isn't suitable for contact lens wearers - I think that it might irritate your eyes, but I really don't know the exact reason. If you have sensitive eyes, this might suit you - it is perfume free.

Another thing to remember is to keep the brush side down when storing it - otherwise it might dry out. I looked at my blog archive and seems like the first time I used it was in December, and only now I have beginning to feel that I need a new one - so it defenitely would last you for 6 months (what is also the expiration date on the package).

Here is one link, where to get it when you live in UK Beautybay.com - this is 2x more expensive here, than it is in Estonia, so I feel sorry for you.

In Estonian:
Hei, kaunitarid!
Täna räägiks teile veel ühest mu suurest lemmikust, avastasin selle tänu Margitile - ta ühes oma videos kiitis seda. Tegemist on ArtDeco kauapüsiva laineriga(ARTDECO High precision eyeliner), mille ostsin juba detsembris. Toote kirjelduses on lubatud intensiivset musta pigmenti, kauapüsivat tulemust ning täpsust. Täpsus tuleneb uuest otsakesest- tegemist pole tavalise markeri tüüpi laineriga. Nimelt, on tegemist uuendusliku harjakesega, mis koosneb peenikestest sünteetilistest kiududest. Sellega harjumine võttis aega, seega alguses ma sellest lainerist vaimustuses ei olnud.
Ka praegu on otsaga tegelikult veidi probleeme- üliüli peenikest joont sellega ikkagi teha ei saa, kuna siis jääb pigment laiguliselt/liiga vähe. Kuna aga ma nagunii armastan julgemat lainerit, siis ma ei aja taga 1-2mm joont ja see mind ei häiri. Üldiselt saab joone paksust reguleerida surve muutmisega. Kuna hari on painduv, siis nt vasakule silmale saan ma lainerijoone tegemisega paari sekundiga hakkama - kuidagi nii õige nurga all on hari.
Püsivusega pole mul kordagi probleeme olnud- ei hakka pudenema ja ei lähe laiali. Kasutan seda ainult ülemisel ripsmejoonel, nii et ei tea, kuidas ta all käituks- seal on ju ikka veidi vesisem-rasusem-kortsulisem. Eemaldamine ei ole ka keeruline- kasutan bioderma sensibio mitsellaarset vett selleks. Tuleb lihtsalt vatipadjakest paarkümmend sekundit peal hoida ja siis õrnalt silmameik ära pühkida. Ärge silmi hõõruge- see on kiirtee kortsudeni. Tean, tean, olen ka ise seda viga teinud...
Toode on mul olnud juba 6 kuud ja siiani ei ole ta veel ära kuivanud, kuigi kasutan teda üsna tihti - pea iga kord kui ennast meigin. Soovitan hoida sellist laadi "markereid" otsaga allapoole- siis ei kuiva hari ära. On küll vahe sees, ausalt - hoidsin enda oma alguses suvaliselt meigikotis ja nüüd viimased 2 kuud korralikult topsis, ots allpool. Ega ta väga kaua enam ei kesta, aga ka nö säilivusaeg saab varsti läbi, nii et olekski aeg uus osta. Ei tea, kas ostan sama toote, aga seda rohkem sellepärast, et ilublogijana tahan ju pidevalt uusi asju proovida - toode ise on suurepärane.
Toode ei sobi kontaktläätsede kandjatele- ma ei ole uurinud täpselt miks, nii et kui te väga proovida tahate, siis ainult omal vastutusel, eks?! Plussina tooksin ära selle, et peaks sobima ka tundlike silmadega neiudele, kuna tegemist on parfüümivaba tootega ja nagu teada, siis parfüümi nime alla võib koondada väga erinevaid kemikaale - üks mure vähem. ;)
Osta saab Kaubamajast, ILU poodidest ning rosalindist - viimasest saab neid ka internetivahendusel osta. Hind jääb 13-15€ ringi - nii et pole küll kõige odavam toode, aga vähemalt ei pea me selle eest maksma 32€ (beautybay's nimelt maksab see nii palju, ma muud kohta ei leidnud, kust rahvusvahelised kaunitarid seda osta saaksid).

MUU JUTT!
Homme on mul sünnipäev ja sellel puhul vast postitan lihtsalt mõned pildid, mille oma uue kaameraga juba teinud olen - oodake palju lemmikloomi ning lilli :D Valisin siis ikkagi Canon 600D, sest 60D oli tunduvalt kallim.

The MBB Monday poll vol3

2012-05-22T10:00:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Karen from MBB=makeupandbeautyblog(click to see her answers) has been doing this "poll" for quite a while now(this is vol.221!) and as you may guess, I like to answer to her random list of questions sometime.

I might as well call it Tuesday poll, because my timezone is over 12 hours ahead of hers. :P Anyway, here goes nothing...

1. Mood:

Excited! I just ordered my first dslr, I chose canon 600d/t3i (more budget friendly than my first option- canon 60d) :) I hope that I will get it this week, maybe on friday - my birthday is on Sunday.

2. If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

That night is for sleeping, at least for humans and it is not polite to scratch windows(you know the noise when someone scratches the blackboard, right?)

3. Do you do anything in particular to celebrate the start of summer?

I don't celebrate the summer when school ends, but tehnically st.johns(jaanipäev) is in the start of summer. That night is even more important to Estonians than Christmas. Everybody goes as far away from the city as possible, preferably to some small island with friends. We eat lots of meat and usually people drink even more beer.

4. Eyes/Lips/Cheeks?

Today I had no makeup on, because I went to Oriflame event tonight and I thought that they might show us how to do something, but actually it was just room full of girls and they showed a little bit on 2 ladies. So I am kind of disappointed, I hoped for something more personal.

5. Do you have a special spot where you like to read?

I live in one room apartment, so I can't be that picky. My place is usually on the couch, left side.

6. A song that always puts you in a good/better mood?

My new obsession is Alex Clare- Up all night, his other songs are ahmazing too!

7. Do you keep a pair of casual shoes by the front door?

I only wear casual shoes, so yes, they are always by the door :D

8. Tell me about your weekend. What did you do?

On Saturday I studied for dermatovenerology exam that is going to be this friday. Ofc watched some football on Saturday night, bayern vs chelsea, UEFA final. Sunday wasn't nothing special, just cosy at home day. ahh.. I played Diablo III :P We(me&my bf) got a guest pass from a friend- so addictive game, I haven't played Diablo before, but now we have to buy this. Well, we wait until the school is over... 2 more exams to go for me, that's about 2 weeks! yay!

9. What scent are you wearing?

I am one-perfume-person, so at the moment(for last 4 months or so), I have been wearing Acqua di Gioia Essenza (hahaa so difficult name, I always have to look on the internet how it is spelled. :D )

10. Weekly goals:

Do well on my dermatovenerology exam, maybe have a small celebration on Saturday or Sunday. You may guess how old I am getting this year :)

Thank you for reading!

Vabandust, ei jaksa seda praegu ümber tõlkida, kasutage google translate'i kui tõesti midagi aru ei saa. Kuigi ma kahtlen selles, et inglise keele oskus nii halb on kellelgi.... ;)

FOTD: feat Annabelle eyeshadows

2012-05-21T15:48:00.002+03:00

Hey!

Here is a quick look that I came up while playing with my goodies from Canada
Eyes: Annabelle eyeshadow trio in rosewood and single eyeshadow tone nr 203 - lovely matte lilac.
Bad girl mascara by benefit - this really adds nice lenght and volume, but doesn´t clump at all.
Cheeks: ELF blush in twinkle pink and ELF blush in candid coral
Contouring with benefit hoola bronzer
Lips wre NYX smokey look mega shine lipgloss.
Eyebrows: NYX browkit in blonde

Close up of the eye makeup:

Here are the Annabelle Eyeshadows that I used for this look, matte browbone highlight is from Too Faced Romantic eye palette.
Rosewood is a gorgeous trio with 2 pinks and one warm medium brown - I guess one of the pinks is meant to be used as a highlighter, because it has a subtle pearly glow.

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:
Üks kiire meik Kanada pakist saadud asjadega - katsetasin Kanada dekoratiivkosmeetika firma Annabelle lauvärve ning Benefiti päiksepuudrit ning ripsmetušši. Lauvärvid pole maailma kõige parema pigmendiga, aga igapäevase tagasihoidliku meigi jaoks ideaalsed. Benefiti Bad gal lash on üsna hea tušš, kuna ta ei kleebi ripsmeid kokku, peal püsis ka kenasti. Mulle andis ta pigem pikkust kui volüümi, aga samas pildil näete ka ainult 1-kihti. Usun, et mitme kihiga saab kindlasti efektsemad ripsmed.
Benefiti hoola bronzer on tõesti mõnus päiksepuuder heledama nahaga neiudele, kuid tal on siiski veidi oražikat alatooni ning tundus üsna "puudrine".

Aitäh, et lugesite!

Review: Avon Ideal Flawless foundation and concealer

2012-05-19T17:18:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Today I want to introduce you to Avon ideal flawless foundation that pixiwoo sisters quite seam to like. Since every brand is coming out with "natural" foundations these days, so does Avon. So this review is going to be mainly about the foundation, because the concealer is just your regular stick concealer that does not have so great coverage.
http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=146091/Ideal-Flawless-Invisible-Coverage-Liquid-Foundation-/Avon/Foundations

What AVON says about this foundation:

Complete coverage that looks and feels 100% natural. Looks great from every angle. Lightweight and oil-free. Dermatologist-tested; suitable for all skin types. Convenient pump dispenser for mess-free application.

What I say after using this for a month:

First of all, this isn´t complete coverage, in my eyes this foundation offers meidum coverage and I still need something more to hide my blemishes.

Secondly no foundation feels natural on my skin, it is quite lightweight, but I can still feel it.

Applies very nicely with Sigma F80 brush or fingers- leaves semi matte finish at first, which during the day becomes quite dewy.

Another plus is SPF15, which isn´t too high of SPF to mess with your photos - higher SPFs tend to leave you with a very pale moonface, especially with flash photography. SPF comes from Titanium Dioxide.

My main problem is staying power- I have combination to oily skin and this doesn´t last too well on my skin, even with powder. Also it seems to cling to try patches - you know them well, healing blemishes etc.

Second problem is the limited color selection in Estonia, luckily I bought the lightest shade available and it almost suited my pale winter skin. I don´t know my MAC shades, but I defenitely have a problem with all the foundations looking too dark on me- even if I buy the lightest one available. There are 17 shades to choose from when you live in USA, in Estonia we had only 5.

Thirdly, this seems to be breaking me out, hmm I wonder why, take a look at the ingredient list.

CYCLOPENTASILOXANE , DIMETHICONE , WATER/EAU , GLYCERIN , ALUMINA , DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER ,

Glass bottle with a convenient pump - hygenic, but not so great for travelling.

Avon package looks sleek and professional. Concealer is 4.6 €, foundation is around 7€

Picture is taken in daylight, without flash

This foundation does give nice and natural finish, I wish it would last all day long. Hides redness quite well in my opinion. I haven´t had any problems with the pump, this gives out just enough product and it does not make a mess.

Left: bare face with just one coat of mascara Right:Avon foundation & concealer(under the eyes&blemishes) in action + more mascara & lipgloss & filled in brows

Have you tried Avon Ideal flawless foundation and what do you think about it?

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Jagan teiega täna oma viimast jumestuskreemi leidu, otsustasin Avoni ideal flawless jumestuskreemi proovida kuna pixiwoo õekesed seda pidevalt oma videotes kasutavad ja kiidavad.

Avon on liitunud nende brändidega, kes tulevad välja nö uue põlvkonna jumestuskreemidega, mis katavad hästi kuid näivad loomulikud.Viimasega olen nõus, aga katvuse osas pean vastu vaidlema- kõiki ebatäiuseid see kindlasti ei kata ja punnikestele ja silmaalustele on kindlasti lisa vaja. Nagu ülevalolevalt pildilt näete, siis jääb ta tõesti üsna loomulik.

Pealekandmine on lihtne (vaadake koostisosi, seal on "miljon" silikooni jms) nii näppude kui ka sigma F80 pintsliga, hajutada on kerge ja aega kulub vähe. Esmalt pealekandes jätab poolmati tulemuse, kuid juba 2-3h muutub nägu üsna läikivaks, isegi kui toode on kinnitud puudriga. Kreem kipub rõhutama ka kestendavaid kohakesi- neid mul ikka hetkel jagub, kohe jõuan põhjuseni. Kuigi inglise keelses Avoni tekstis kirjutatakse, et tegu on õlivaba tootega, siis minu teadmiste kohaselt on petrolatum siiski mineraalõli - nagu te vast igalt poolt lugenud olete, siis see ummistab poore. Tõsi, olen ka viimasel ajal rohkem üleüldiselt meiki kandnud, kuid pea alati kasutan seda jumestuskreemi, sest see sobib mu nahatooniga olemasolevatest kõige paremini. Olles üsna lumivalguke, on sageli ka kõige heledamad toonid minu jaoks liiga tumedad ja nii nad ootavad suve. Toonivalik võiks ka Avoni puhul suurem olla, minu teada oli Eestis müügil ainult 4-5 tooni, USAs on neid aga kokku tervelt 17 - seda siiski tumedamate toonide arvelt. Nii et minust veel kahvatumad inimesed peavad kahjuks sellest kreemist loobuma.

Tellisin ka Avoni Ideal flawless peitepulga, aga sellega ma väga rahul ei ole - ei kata ta suurt midagi, õnneks on jällegi toon enamvähem õige, nii et ehk saan ta ikka ära kasutada. Silmade alla on see kindlasti liiga kuiv, eelistan seal vedelal kujul peitekreeme.

Jumestuskreem on mõnusas pumbaga pudelis, mis on klaasist st et reisimiseks on ta veidi ebapraktiline, kuid muidu nö tõstab asja hinda minu silmis. Kogu näole kulub tavaliselt 2-3 pumbatäie jagu jumestuskreemi. Plussina tooksin veel välja, et kreem sisaldab päikesekaitsefaktorit 15, mis tuleneb titaaniumoksiidi sisaldusest. SPF 15 peaks olema veel fotodel ohutu kasutada, kõrgemad kaitsefaktorid kipuvad, eriti välguga tehtud piltidel, muutma nägu valgeks.

Kreemil on kerge lõhn, mis ming ei häiri, aga tundlikuma nahaga neiudele võib probleeme tekitada. Õnneks lõhnab vähem kui paljud näohooldustooted, ma ei mõista, miks on vaja kõike lõhnastada.

Kokkuvõtvalt on tegu päris asjaliku jumestuskreemiga, mis sobiks kindlasti kuivema või normaalse nahaga inimestele, kui on rasune nahk, siis on püsimisega probleeme, nii et päris 5 punkti see minult ei saa. Üldiselt olen siiski sellega rahul, nii et 4p.
NB! Lumene meigialuskreemiga püsis tõesti paar tundi kauem, aga üle 10h kandes hakkas avoni jum.kreem ikkagi maha tulema.
Olete te seda proovinud? Kuidas meeldis?

Swap: A cute package from Canada

2012-05-16T18:33:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

First of all, this is my second swap and this time, lovely Tatiana from Canada contacted me. She doesn't have a blog, but has a youtube channel, so go check her out!

Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/BarabashkaBeauty

If she posts a video about what I sent her, then I will share it with you, but at the moment, the package is on it´s way to her.

Let's open it up together!

First peek into the box

Everything was individually packaged in hot pink paper

All the goodies unwrapped.

Here is everything that I got out of their package.

Just some quick swatches:
from left first two are: benefit cream foundation and hoola bronzer
Next one is Physicians formula shimmer strip
Next two are from Hard Candy set. Dolly pink blush and then highlighter
Annabelle eyeshadow trio in rosewood and lilac is annabelle single eyeshadow
Bottom row: Hard candy lipgloss and Revlon lip butter in Sweet tart.

So here is what I got, I am really pleased with everything and I already tried out Annabelle eyeshadows - FOTD coming up soon. Finally I have Revlon lipbutter that compliments my skin tone (I had creamsicle, but it made me look like dead, so I sold that one). I am super excited that I get to try Benefit products- super cute small sample sizes of Badgal lash and hoola bronzer, this set also contained a cream foundation, but it is too dark for me. Hard Candy products seem to be nice too, I love the cool pink theme. I am going to give away the OPI shatter polish in silver, because I already have one by models own and I don't need 2 basically the same products. I haven't tried it and I won't so whoever wins this, gets a brand new polish!
Funny fact, if you have read my blog longer, then you know that Loreal voluminous is one of my favorite mascaras, so I am super happy that Tatiana chose this for me, when I told her to send me her favorite mascara. Very pink themed package, lol :D
Let me know what do you think of beauty swaps. Are they worth it or is it just a waste of money due to postal charges. In my opinion: I love doing swaps and don't care about the postage, I love trying out new things that I can´t get my hands on in Estonia.
Thank you for reading!

Eesti keelde ma teksti tõlkima ei hakka, las pildid räägivad enda eest! Põhimõtteliselt tegin veel ühe pakivahetuse, seekord Kanada neiuga. :)

Väike loos!

2012-05-14T22:19:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Since I haven't done any giveaways for a while, here is one: Sorry ladies, since this is so small giveaway it is going to be open in Estonia only.

Hei, kaunitarid!

Pole ammu ühtegi asja oma blogis välja loosinud ja kuna praegu on mu sünnipäevakuu, siis siin on üks väike giveaway! Seekord midagi keerulist tegema ei pea ja osaleda saate nädala jooksul. :) Kõik tooted on uued! Vaatamata huuleläike hirmutavale nimele on tegemist imekena lillakasroosa tooniga ja virsikukarva küüned sobivad kindlasti päevitunud jumega ideaalselt!

Värve näete siit, rohelise ringiga tähistatud toonid on auhinnaks:

Teie privaatsuse huvides kasutan jälle rafflecopterit, info on ainult minule nähtav!

a Rafflecopter giveaway Loos toimub koostöös Polhem PRiga.

Kes arvavad, et ma teie osalemist ei kontrolli, eksivad- ma ei tea kas te teete seda teadmatusest, aga paljud inimesed pole jätnud õiget facebooki linki. Siin on väike õpetus:

Põhimõtteliselt viib ajale klikkimine teid konkreetse jagamise juurde ja võiksite kopeerida mulle selle lingi. Enamiku profiilid/seinad ei ole avalikud, nii et seda pole mõttet mulle lingina rafflecopteri vormi kirjutada/kopeerida. Ma ei saa ebakorrektseid lisahääli arvestada, kuna see oleks kõik õigesti teinud inimeste suhtes ebaaus. Hetkel ma kedagi veel eemaldama ei hakka, aga te saate alati oma vastuseid muuta ehk siis ikkagi lisahääli teenida. ;)

Edu!

Event: Tartu beauty fair 2012 and my FOTD

2012-05-12T16:40:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Some chat about beauty fair in Tartu and my FOTD for Friday. I must say that the fair was even more disappointing than the last year - if we get so few companies in Tartu, maybe it is best to skip it at all and do only one big fair in Tallinn. Estonia isn´t that big and we have quite decent transportation and roads after all.

Sellel nädalavahetusel toimus Tartus ilu mess, mis minu arvates oleks võinud olemata olla. Iga aastaga kuivab osalevate firmade arv järjest väiksemaks ning seetõttu toimus mess sellel aastal ainult ühes hallis. Kes Tartu messikeskuses käinud pole, siis tegelikult on seal 2 halli ja 1 pisem vahekoridor-hall. Teises hallis toimus samal ajal Turism 2012 ja vahehallis aiamess- mõlemas jällegi alla 10 eksponandi. Kuna Eesti on nii väike ja firmad ei vaevu Tartusse tulema, siis võiks tõesti olla üks, kuid selle eest suurejooneline ilumess Tallinnas.

I didn´t buy any beauty products, just ILUGURU magazine and I chose to become Oriflame representative, just to know when new products come in etc. So total damage to my wallet was 2.7€ + ticket 2.5€.

Kuna tõesti firmasid oli vähe, siis ei ostnud ma ühtegi ilutoodet. Oleksin väga tahtnud uut joici k-pak šampooni ja palsamit(Salon+, kus sa olid?!), mida ma üle tüki aja jälle kasutan- et pudelite arvu vannitoas kahandada ning mu juustele tundub intensiivsem hooldamine hetkel sobivat. Samuti ei ole ma maha matnud plaani ikkagi juuksed ära värvida, mis siis et punane kahvatub kiirelt.

Igatahes ostsin Iluguru ajakirja, mille messihind oli 1.7€ ning kaasa sai 50ml Wella finishing spray.

Liitusin ka Oriflame´iga, mis siis, et mu ema tegeleb juba sellega - tahtsin lihtsalt vahetumat kokkupuudet, et uutest toodetest esimesena kuulda. ;) Kingiks liitumise eest sain näohoolduse- ja meigikursuse, millest viimasest tõeanäoliselt mulle enam kasu pole, aga ei kurda ka, kuna muidu maksab see 40€. Liitumine maksis messil 1€. Seega kogulöök mu rahakotile oli 2.7€ + turismimessilt ostetud 2 karpi jäätist (3€). Ahjaa.. pilet ju ka- 2.5€.

Some photos to show you how a fair in Tartu looks like: sorry for tha bad quality, it was pretty dark there and my camera isn´t great in bad lighting conditions.
I went there around 1 p.m. on Friday, so there were not that many people.
Messil käisin reede pärastlõunal ja nagu piltidelt näha võite, siis rahvast oli ikka üsna hõredalt. Vabandust, et pildid pole hea kvaliteediga, aga mu kaamera sellistes oludes häid pilte ei tee.

A view from the middle to the left. Vaade halli keskelt vasakule.

A view from the middle to right. Ja paremale.

A view on one end of the hall. Vaade kohe halli sisenedes.

Moeke 2012 all over again :P Uuesti esitleti moeke 2012 kollektsioone.

And now this was how I looked like:
Ja nüüd siis lubatud päevane look:

On my lips: Make up store lip pencil in Fairytale dream and NYX mega shine lipgloss in Beige.

Face: Avon ideal flawless foundation, ELF pressed powder in caramel for contour, ELF mineral blush in coral on cheeks and a little bit of theBalm mary lou manizer on my cheekbones.

hehee.. this is my first GIF image, didn´t know that these are so easy to make :D
Minu esimene liikuv pilt, kindlasti näete neid veel, sest varem ma ei teadnud, et neid nii lihtne teha on. :D

I used Wet´n´wild Comfort zone palette to create this look. Matte highlight is from my favorite palette. Eyeliner is Art Deco high precision one in black. My lashes look quite messy in this photo, sorry about that.

Thank you for reading and coming with me to Tartu Beauty fair!
Aitäh, et käisite minuga "koos" ilumessil ja lugesite seda postitust!

Review: Too Faced Romantic Eye Palette

2012-05-10T00:58:00.002+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Today I am revieving my most used palette, I know that there are already a ton of reviews about it, but I would like to add mine. I purchased Too faced romantic eye palette in november and if I want to wear a subtle eye, this is my go-to palette. It is kind of pricey at 36$, but you do get almost 12 grams of product - bigger shadows are quite a lot of product. All these shadows are cool-toned, so if you are a pale beauty this palette is great for you! Palette is nice sized, a little bigger than the palm of my hand- so great size for travelling. I do love that the shades that you are supposed to use more according the cards are larger, so you won´t run out of them too soon.

This palette contains 9 pretty eyeshadows and they are sorted ito 3 rows: pictures are taken in daylight without flash and bottom row is with a primer.

1. Day:

a) Soulmates,"shimmering nectar": shimmery ivory color, perfect for all over the lid. My favorite from this palette.
b) I do, "smokey taupe": matte lavenderish taupe, I use it in my crease. This is the third most used shade.
c) Un-Veil, "smoldering coal": dark brown matte shadow, great for defyning the crease

2. Classic

a) Kiss the pride, "pink petal": matte baby pink
b) Cut the cake, "heathered mist": shimmery light lavendar. My second favorite.
c) First Dance, "midnight orchid": deep matte purple.

3. Fashion

a) Bouquet toss, "baby´s breath": matte light cream, my skintone but better shade
b) Honeymoon, "gilded fern": shimmery antique gold, has too much fallout for my liking. This is my least favorite from this palette.
c) Ever after, "spicy chocolate": shimmery dark bronze

Since all the names are wedding related I belive the main target group is brides - all the colors are really soft and pretty. Nice pigmentation and color selection - great that it isn´t yet another naked/neutral palette. I have green eyes as the model on the lid, but I do belive that colors like these will suit everyone.

BONUS:
I did the Classic look from the cards/tutorials that came with this palette:

And here is the Fashion look:

Shadows last all day with a primer and they don´t crease.
Do you have this palette? What is you favorite combination?
Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Järjekordne "mõttetu" lauvärvide arvustus, nagu viimati eesti blogijate grupi arutelus selgus, aga kuna tegu on mu lemmik paletiga, mida kasutan ka kõige rohkem, siis on veidi juttu ka selle kohta lubatud, eks? See on siia kirjutatud lihtsalt irooniana, kuna tegu on siiski ilublogiga, mis kuulub mulle, siis kirjutan kõigest millest soovin ;)

Igatahes on tegu Too Faced paletiga, millel nimeks Romantic eye. Ostsin selle juba novembris, ILU poest soodushinnaga ja maksis ta siis vist 27€(täishind on äkki 32€, pead ei anna).

Kindlasti olete näinud seda paletti ka mu FOTD´des. Igathes on tegu suurepärase paletiga neile, kes tahavad küll tagasihoidlikku meiki aga eelistaks kasutada midagi põnevamat kui klassikalisi pruune, beeže või kuldseid toone.

Minu lemmikud, mida kasutan väga tihti on Soulmates(sädelev kreemjas valge) ja I do (lillaka alatooniga hallikaspruun), vahel lisan ka lau välisnurka tooni Cut the cake. Kui tahan kulmuluule matti värvi, siis sobib selleks ideaalselt Bouquet toss. Kõige vähem on kasutust leidnud alumise rea Honeymoon(armas kuldne, aga pudiseb palju + naked paleti half baked meeldib mulle rohkem) ning Ever after (sädelev tumepruun toon, millele leiab ka asenduse naked paletist). Kui juba sellest rääkida, siis ma võin öelda, et Romantic eye ja naked on piisavalt erinevad, et omada mõlemat paletti. Kuna 9st värvist 3 on lillaka alatooniga, siis soovitan seda paletti eelkõige pruunide ning roheliste silmade omanikele- vastandvärvid toovad silmavärvi kenasti esile.

Näited nahal- 3 kaupa tehtud pildid on tehtud päevavalguses, välguta ning alumine näide on praimeriga. Kõik värvi koos pilt on tehtud lambivalgel, välguga.

Laul püsivad need värvid suurepäraselt, olen kasutanud make up store´i tinted eyerpimerit nende all.

Pakend on täpselt paraja suurusega ja mugavalt avatav - tuleb lihtsalt rohelisest jupikesest suunaga ette-üles tõmmata ja magnet vabastab kaane. Kuigi pakend on papist pole ta 6 kuuga märkimisväärselt kulunud ja tundub, et toodet ennast on ka piisavalt, et jätkuks vähemalt 2 aastaks. Rääkides kogustest, siis suuremad lauvärvid on 1.9g ja pisemad 1g.

On keegi veel sama paletti proovinud või mõndasid teisi too faced´i lauvärve? Ma saan aru kui ei ole, ka mina mõtlesin pikalt, kas see investeering tasub ennast ära, kuna tegu on siiski nö high-end hinnaga minu jaoks. Ma olen väga õnnelik, et Eestis meigibrändide valik järjest laieneb ja too faced üks neist on. :)

Aitäh, et lugesite!

Preview: Sigma Paris Palette + Discount Code

2012-05-08T11:17:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Sigma released a new product yesterday and this time it is a nice palette. This is limited edition and costs 59 $.

Picture source: sigmabeautyaffiliates blog

1. 8 eyeshadows - they worked with youtube beauty gurus:

TiffanyD, Xteeener, DulceCandy87, Xsparkage, Frmheadtotoe, Petrilude and MacNC40.

This is limited edition, so if you want it, maybe you should hurry, because this seems to be getting a lot of attention at the moment. :) I love the lilac- browny part, not sure if I would use so bright blues on myself.

2. Two blushes: peachy and neutral - 2 lovely blushes to compliment different skintones.

3. A highlighter: add some warm glow to your face

4. E55 Eye shading brush - just a basic eyeshadow brush that everyone should have

5. F40 Large angled contour - perfect for brining out your cheekbones

I really think that the price is reasonable - this costs 59$, because eyeshadows and blushes alone would cost that much, but you get 2 nice brushes also! If you are interested you can get it from Sigma website, I am skipping this at the moment, because I am saving up for a bigger buy. :)

+ you will get a free gift when your purchase exceeds 30$ - at the moment you can get one eyeshadow:

+ keep your eyes open for discount codes, you will have to manually write it in the box, copy-paste doesn´t seem to work. I found one for the month of May that you can use: GLAM2012 - you get 10% off, so Paris palette would cost you only 53.1$ ;)

+ Sigma does ship internationally, so it doesn´t matter where you live!

Thank you for reading!

I am affiliated with Sigma, but I didn´t get any compensation or gifts from them to post this, I just love this palette and I wish I was a billioner to get every palette I like.

Hey, beauties!

Since spring is major cleaning time in every field of life, then I sorted out my makeup stash and you can see some items that really need a new home here: buduaar.ee. If you are really interested something and live abroad, send me an email: beautyfromliz@gmail.com

These products are only swatched and need a new home! :)

Hei kaunitarid!

Kuna kevad on suurpuhastuse aeg, siis sorteerisin oma meigikuhjast välja asjad, mis on kurvalt seisma jäänud. Olen tõesti kõiki vaid 1-2x proovinud, nii et tooted on praktiliselt uued. Ma ei müü neid sellepärast, et nad oleksid halvad, lihtsalt mõistus tuli koju- mul ei ole nii palju asju vaja :D

Kuulutus ise on siin: http://buduaar.ee/Turg/kuulutus/1261328 Kui midagi soovite võite kirjutada buduaari või siia kommentaaridesse. Hinnad pole ka kivist! ;)

Muul teemal ka - tõenäoliselt enne 8.maid siia väga palju postitusi ei tule, pean õppima eksamiks ning kohe pärast eksamit tuleb mõnus nädalalõpp Stockholmis.

Katsun seal veidi pildistada ka, teile vist meeldivad reisipostitused. :) Plaanis on väike 80ndate stiilikas, kõigile dressid ja meestele vuntsid jne, pean jõudma kunagi järgmine nädal veel kaltsukatesse ka tuulama. Võite soovitada häid kaltsukaid Tartus.

Loodan väga, et eksam läheb hästi - neuroloogia on siiani minu jaoks kõige keerulisem aine ning eksam tuleb suuline. Ma ei ole just suuliste eksamite fänn, kuna suure närveerimisega kipub pea tühjaks minema. Eks näis kuidas läheb- läbi ikka ei kuku, seda pole õnneks kunagi juhtunud (ja nüüd tuleb 3x üle õla sülitada, eksole). Sellel aastal vist jääb mul Volber vahele, aga pole hullu, küll ma Stockholmis järgi pidutsen-puhkan.

Vabadnust, kui mu jutt praegu väga ei jookse- mõtted on haigusloo juures, mille pean homme esitama.

Kõike head,

Liis

Makeup look inspired by Hunger Games: District 7

2012-04-27T09:30:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!
May I present you, another look from my Hunger games series. A week ago I actually wore this look out, so yes a wearable look! I choose this eyelook to represent district 7. You can read about it here, but here is just a short description to give you some idea:
"This beautiful district is lush with trees, from which these citizens supply our lumber and paper. The people of District 7 are hardworking and down-to-earth."
So here is what I came up with:

First of all I started with priming my eyelids, I used Make up store tinted eyeprimer.

Then I used NYX jumbo pencil in milk in the inner corners and on the browbone. NYX jumbo pencil in horse raddish all over the lid.

I used Lumiere eyepigments for this look.

Charity in the inner corners and 1/3 of the eyelid.

Kindness on 2/3 of the eyelid, on the moving lid.

Envy in the outer corner and blended into the outer crease.

Sublime is my crease color.

Cream soda as a highlight on the brownbone

A little bit of envy on the lower lashline.

If you don't have these pigments you can try with anything similar, I think that Wet'n'wild comfort zone palette is great option for looks similar to this.

Avon supershock eyeliner in Blackberry in the lower waterline.

Art deco high precision eyeliner for my bold eyeliner look and GOSH Show me volume mascara to make my lashes more noticeable.

What is on my face?

- Foundation: Avon Ideal Flawless finish foundation in ivory

- ELF studio twinkle pink blush

- ELF studio warm bronzer as a contour

- ELF studio translucent powder to set my makeup

What is on my lips?

Well I started out with Make up store lipstick in Attitude, then I didn't like the color just like that and added NYX golden red lipgloss on top of it- this made my lips a little bit more red and darker.

Make up looks inspired by Hunger games I have done so far:
1. District 4

What do you think of this look? Would you wear it out?

I have one question too, should I color my hair red? And if red, then how red - very bright primary or darker and more natural... I am quite lazy when it comes to my hair and red color needs refreshing quite often.

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Lubasin paar päeva tagasi, et postitan järgmise Näljamängudest inspireeritud meigi. Siin see on! Seekord on tegemist 4 ringkonnaga, mida iseloomustavad paksud metsad ja sõbralik rahvas. Minu arvates on tegemist täiesti avalikkuses kantava meigiga- ma käisin sellega nimelt eelmisel reedel väljas ja sain päris mitu komplimenti. ;)

Üritasin kasutada rohkem pigmente, mida ma muidu väga ei kasuta - ei, tegemist pole halbade toodetega, pressitud lauvärvid on lihtsalt mugavamad, kuna ei pudene nii palju. Nagu teate, siis on mul terve karbitäis Lumiere'i lauvärvi pigmente, kõik minisuuruses - mu meelest jätkub 1 grammist lauvärvist piisavalt kauaks.

Kuidas saada "metsa-look"?

- alustasin silmameigist, kuna lahtised pulbrid kipuvad silma alla pudenema.

- kõigepealt, nagu ikka silmameigi aluskreem. kasutasin make up store' i tinted varianti.

- seejärel võtsin NYXi jumbo silmapliiatsid- milk(matt valge) silma sisenurka ja kulmuluule, hajuta näpuga ning horse raddish (heleroheline, läikiv) üle kogu liikuva lau. Hajutasin seda koopajooneni.

- Seejärel kandsin silma sisenurka ning 1/3 lau ulatuses tooni nimega Charity, mis on imearmas kuldne ja läikiv toon.

- Ülejäänud liikuva lau peale kandsin Kindness pigmenti, mis on mõnus heleroheline toon.

- Silma välisnurka rõhutasin Envy'ga ning koopajoonele kandsin Sublime'i.

- kulmuluu tahtsin jätta matiks ning seetõttu kasutasin Cream Soda pigmenti, mis on elevandiluukarva matt toon.

- alumisele ripsmejoonele väljastpoolt alustades: envy, kindness, charity.

- ripsmetušš on Gosh, show me volume ja lainer ikka Art Deco High precision.

- näol on Avon ideal flawless jumestuskreem toonis ivory, ELFi studio seeria põsepuna toonis twinkle pink, päiksepuuder toonis Warm ning läbipaisted matistav puuder.

- huulte puhul alustasin Make up store'i huulepulgaga nende suvekollektsioonist ning kuna see toon polnud päris see, siis lisasin veel NYXi huuleläike toonis golden red (tegemist on siis round lipglossiga, mitte megashine variandiga).

Kui teil neid pigmente pole, siis valige lihtsalt midagi sarnast ;) Võite proovida nt Wet'n'wild comfort zone paletiga, mida peaks saama Seppälätest.

Küsiks teie nõu ka- mul on tekkinud salasoov värvida juuksed punaseks. Mis te arvate milline punane võiks mulle sobida ja kas see on üldse hea mõte, kui ma olen üsna laisk juustevärvija. Punane värv ju tuhmub nii kiirelt.

Aitäh, et leidsite aega lugeda!

Question Wednesday {Eyes Edition}

2012-04-25T23:51:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

I found question wednesday from MissL, you can read her answers here. Questions are really from Nykki´s Mane blog. This wednesday all questions were about eyes. So let´s get started.

1. What color are your eyes and if you could choose what color they were what color would that be?
My eyes are hazel I think, but they seem to be green in most of my pictures. I think hazel because around the pupil I have brown ring and outer edges are more gray. hmm any color, I think bright light blue eyes are pretty unique!
2. Bold Eyeliner, Light Eyeliner, or no eyeliner?
If I use it, then I usually go for a bold eyeliner look - not too thin and a bit winged.
3. What is your go to eye look?
In my daily makeup box I have Too Faced Romantic Eye palette and I use soulmates all over the lid, I do in the crease and for a little pop of color Cut the cake in the outer corners.
Something like this, but I used cut the cake all over the lid and First dance in the outer corners. You can see the eyeliner I like to do here too. :)

4. What brand makes your favorite eyeshadows?
Urban Decay defenitely! I also like Too Faced eyeshadows, but texture wise - UD is better!

5. What are your must have eye products?
A good eyeshadow primer - I have make up store tinted one right now, trying to use it up, because I have NYX HD eyeprimer too.
Volumizing mascara- since my lashes are quite long, I really want the mascara to add some volume.
Water-proof and long lasting eyeliner: doesn´t matter if it is a liquid or a pencil.

In Estonian

Hei, kaunitarid!

Leidsin ühe Eesti ilublogija: Miss L kaudu igakolmapäevased küsimused, päriselt välja mõtleb neid aga: Nykki´s Mane blog kirjutaja. (see on inglise keelne blogi).

1. Mis värvi on su silmad ja kui sa saaksid valida, mis värvi nad võiksid olla?

Mul on rohelised silmad (keskel pruun ring ja servad hallikamad). Tahaksin erksaid siniseid silmi.

2. Jõuline või peenike lainerijoon või üldse mitte?

No kui ma üldse laineriga viitsin jamada, siis ma leian, et mu lainerijoon on pigem jõulisem - keskmise paksusega ning veidi "flicked".

3. Mis on su "go-to" silmameik?

Mu sagedamini kasutatavate asjade karbis on kanda kinnitanud Too Faced Romantic Eye palett, kus on mõnusalt sätendav hele toon, mida kasutan üle kogu lau (nimega soulmates) ning I do, mis on matt külm pruun, kannan tavaliselt koopajoonele. Vahel lisan ka cut the cake (külm lillakashall) või first dance (matt tumelilla) silma välisnurka. (ülevaltoodud pildil olen kasutanud siin nimetatud toone, aga üle lau on lihtsalt cut the cake, mitte soulmates). Lilla (ala)tooniga lauvärvid sobivad imehästi pruunide ja roheliste silmadega neiudele ;)

Kindlasti lainer ja ka tihendav ripsmetušš.

4. Mis firma lauvärvid on su lemmikud?

Urban Decay'le pole päris võrdväärset vastast minu meelest- lauvärvid on super pigmenteeritud, on mõnusa tekstuuriga ja püsivad kaua. Too Faced lauvärvid on head, aga just nö võisusest jääb puudu. Odavamatest firmadest soovitaks ka Wet'n' wildi palette, mul on olemas vanity, comfort zone ja sweet as candy (kõik nimed on klikitavad ja viivad teid vastava paleti ülevaate juurde ;) ).

5. Milliste silmadele mõeldud toodeteta sa ei kujutaks oma elu ette?

Esimene, mida ma ka kõige sagedamini kasutan, on kindlasti tihendav ja tume ripsmetušš. Mul on muidu üsna pikad ripsmed, aga nad vajavad kindlasti tiheduse poolelt järeleaitamise tunde.

Teiseks soovitan kõigil osta endale üks silmameigi aluskreem, tõesti jäävad värvid pealekandes erksamad ja püsivad kauem! Hetkel üritan põhja peale teha oma make up store'i praimerile, sest juba uued katsetamist vajavad tooted ootavad (nt NYD HD eyeprimer).

Kolmandaks, üks hea pigmendiga kauapüsiv (veekindel) must lainer - pole vahet kas geel või vedelik või eelistad hoopis pliiatsit. Mina kasutan hetkel Art Deco High Precision silmalainerit, mis just mõni aeg tagasi toimunud osturallil ka allahinnatud oli- hetkel endale tagavara ei ostnud... täishind on 13-16€ olenevalt ostukohast, osturallilt sai 8€'ga.

Minu meelest on sellised küsimused toredad ja aitavad muuta blogi isiklikumaks, kes ikka viitsib alati lauvärve ja küünelakke vahtida :D Kui olete ise blogija, siis ootan teie vastuseid postitusena- põnev on ju lugeda. Kui lihtsalt vastata tahate, palun - kommentaarid on avatud nagu alati :)
Jõudsin just öölaulupeolt tagasi ja mõtlesin, et postitan veel kolmapäeval :P

Aitäh, et leidsite aega lugemiseks!

FOTD: Candy pink vol 2

2012-04-24T20:22:00.000+03:00

Hey, beauties!

One of my readers wanted to see a darker version of my FOTD: candy pink, because I said there that I kept adding darker colors etc. So here is the result.

Eyeshadows are still from the Sleek Oh So Special palette, Avon supershock eyeliner in the waterline.

And yes, these photos are taken on the same day, I just kept my hair down.
Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Üks mu lugejatest(Hei, Sandra!) soovis näha "kommimeigi" tumedamat varianti, kuna ütlesin, et arendasin seda veel edasi. Siin on siis tulemus - kasutasin ikka sama Sleeki paletti (Oh so special) ning lisasin limaskestale Avon supershocki silmapliiatsi, muud väga ei muutnud.

Pildid on tõesti tehtud samal päeval, lasin lihtsalt oma kiharad valla :P et natuke üldpilti muuta.

Mis te arvate, kas tume silmapliiats sobib siia või mitte? Ma ise arvan, et tegi vist liiga tumedaks üldmulje.

Aitäh, et lugesite-vaatasite!

NOTD: OPI Designer... de better!

2012-04-23T20:08:00.001+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Quick nail post for a change. This is OPI Designer de better, gorgeous metallic polish that was part of OPI the Muppets collection, which came out this winter. Pretty unique shade in my opinion, defenitely a stand out shade from that collection. I ordered this from ebay, and paid around 9 $ for it, can´t remember exactly. Unfortunately this was limited edition, but maybe you can find it somewhere.

This is 2 coats and picture is taken in daylight, without flash.

I would describe this tone as a cold gold color with bronze glitters. This is similar to ORLY Luze polish, you can look at my swatches here.

That is all for today, because I have to study for tomorrow (a test in Finnish and practical work in Neurology).

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Üks kiire postitus õppimise vahele (hehee homme on Soome keeles kontrolltöö ja neuroloogias akadeemiline haiguslugu). Laki ostsin tegelikult juba mitu kuud tagasi ebayst ja maksin ta eest u 9 $ + saatmine, nii et kindlasti ei olnud see just mu odavaim küünelakk. Hind oli kõrgem ka seetõttu, et tegemist on limiteeritud kollektsiooniga - tuli ta välja minu teada 2011 lõpus. Müüdi ka Eestis, Kaubamajas ja ILU poodides.
Tegemist on üsna erilise tooniga, kuna esmapilgul tundub järjekordne külma tooni kuldne lakk, kuid lähemal vaatamisel sisaldab see pisikesi pronskikarva glitterosakesi. Pilt on tehtud päevavalguses ja välguta, ning mu küüntel on 2 kihti lakki.

Kui sarnased lakid meeldivad, julgen soovitada ka ORLY Luxe lakki, mille kohta näete postitust siin.

Tänaseks kõik, lähiajal on tulemas Näljamängude 2.meik ;) Pildid on juba tehtud.
Aitäh, et leidsite aega lugemiseks!

Chitchat: Does your astral sign define your wardrobe?

2012-04-22T23:24:00.002+03:00

Hello, beauties!

Today I discovered interesting article about your astral signs and closet in Estonian website buduaar.ee. I wanted to show you what they about Gemini, which is my sign.

So this article is in Estonian so I butchered the text and shortened it a bit, to bring out the key features.

Gemini (22nd May to 21st July)

- wardrobe for gemini is very versatile, because ther mood changes often and therefore they need to change their outfit accordingly, sometimes several times a day.

- they don't prefer certain styles, because grow tired of the same things - outfit helps them to "born again"

- shopping: price is important, but if the shoes are really convenient and they like them- they will still buy those shoes, never regretting the buy.

- Gemini doesn't care about brands, most important is how the clothing item looks and feels on- does it fit nicely?

- Style: neutral, van wear anything from sprty outfits to jeans, jackets and shirts. Gemini loves layering!

- Colors: They might prefer violet, yellow or orange items.

- Accesories: jewelry made out of chains.

- Makeup: Yellow is a good choice for eyeshadow color, because it is the color of happiness and helps to communicate. But gemini tend to wear cooler colors and don't love overly bright eyeshadows. Matte texture is preferable.

- Hair: Changes as often as their hectic minds. Radical changes and new haircuts is their thing.

- Brand: Alexander Mcqueen

Alexander Mcqueen boots - I would wear them!

These seem to be extremely high for me, but I love the contrast in these shoes!

My comment:

I hate layers, I hate yellow color and I have never changed my outfit several times a day. I do like purple color and Alexander Mcqueen items (but ofc don't own any of them). I have made extreme changes with my hair - coloring them black, red, cutting them short for no reason etc. So not everything suggested in this article is correct, but it was defenenitely a fun Sunday night read.

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Leidsin just http://buduaar.ee lehelt põneva artikli, kus lahatakse iga tähemärgi esindaja stiili. Loomulikult oleks veel põnevam olnud, kui nad oleksid nt toonud näiteid kuulsustest, kes on tüüpilised ja nö vastavad kirjeldusele.

Minu tähemärk on kaksikud, olen sündinud 27.mai. Kõigepealt siis buduaarist võetud tekst ning seejärel minu kommentaar.

Kaksikud (22. mai – 21. juuni)

Kaksikute garderoob on väga mitmekülgne. Nende tuju on väga muutuv ja see tingib vajaduse muuta oma maskeeringut mitu korda päevas. Nad ei eelista üht kindlat stiili, sest tüdinevad sellest ruttu. Rõivastus paneb nad sisemiselt uuesti sündima, muudab nende rolli ja pakub vaheldust. Ostlemas käies kaaluvad Kaksikud alati, kas on nõus nõutud summat maksma, kuid kui ta leiab mõnusaimad sussid, mis iial tehtud on, ei kahetse ta nende ostmist kunagi. Teda ei huvita kuulsad rõivabrändid, olulisem on hoopis see, kuidas ese seljas tundub ja välja näeb. Kaksikute stiili iseloomustab neutraalsus. Tema riidekapis on esindatud sportlikud rõivad, kuid ka teksad, T-särgid ja kerged jakid. Kaksikute tähtkuju sümboliseerib mitmust – seega armastavad Kaksikud kanda riideid kihiti.

Värvid: Kaksikute jaoks ei mängi rolli rõivaste värvitoon, kuid nad võiksid otsustada violetse, oranži või kollase kasuks.

Aksessuaarid: erinevad kettidest koosnevad ehted on Kaksikute parim valik. Nad on väga kiindunud ka käekottidesse ja kohvritesse.

Jumestus: heaks valikuks lauvärvitoonidest on Kaksikute jaoks kollane. See rõõmus värv mõjub tujutõstvalt ning aitab parandada mälu ja suhtlusoskust. Ise eelistavad nad aga valida jahedaid toone ega armasta kirkaid värve. Matt tekstuur on Kaksikute sõber.

Soeng: Kaksikute soengud vahelduvad kiirelt nagu nende heitlik loomus. Nad armastavad katsetada uusi lahendusi ja teha radikaalseid muutusi.

Bränd: Alexander McQueen

Kommentaar:

Ma ütleks, et kogu tekst kindlasti õige ei ole. Näiteks mu garderoobis on ainult üks kollane riideese ja üldiselt ma kõnnin sellest värvist kaarega mööda. Ma mitmekülgsuse koha pealt ei oska ka suurt midagi arvata.. ma ütleks, et pigem on mu stiil igav ja eelistan mitte silma paista. Riideid ma väga tihti ei osta ja kui ostan, siis pigem odavamaid - hetkel tõesti ei ole veel väga suurt võimalust valida. Ma väga tahaks teada, mida on mõeldud sportlike rõivaste all- kas tõesti päris kiledresse?! No neid mul pole küll ühtegi ja kohe kindlasti ei kannaks ma neid väljaspool trennisaali.

Kui nüüd riiete kihti kandmisest rääkida, siis pigem on nii, et kui ma ka tahaks seda teha, siis väga ei oska ja mind tohutult häirib kui nt jope alt kampsuni serv paistab- päris tüütu kiiks või mis.

Ehteid kannan ka minimaalselt ja ei ütleks, et väga eelistaks kette - pigem on hetkel südamelähedasemad lipsukesed ja nt väga kiftid on swarowski kivikestega kuldsed vihmavarjud (ebay leid, maksin vist u 1 $ nende eest! ).

Soengute koha pealt pole ma väga ekstreemne inimene, aga kui teen muutuse, siis tavaliselt nö salaja, sest mulle meeldib inimesi šokeerida. Olen värvinud juukseid nii punaseks kui ka sinakasmustaks (seda isegi 2x). Hetkel kisub väga porganditooni poole jälle, aga punane on tõesti värv, mis vajab tihedat värskendamist ja ma ei tea, kas minu püsimatuse juures selleks aega leian. Aegajalt olen ka pealtnäha täiesti terved juuksed üsna lühikeseks lõiganud- lihtsalt nii väga hakkavad vahel katkised juukseotsad häirima. Täitsa võimalik, et ma näen tonti seal, kus seda pole, sest pole kunagi saanud negatiivseid kommentaare oma juuste kohta. Kas kellelgi on veel nii, et just alumise kihi juukseotsad hargnevad kaheksaks?(jah, ma ükskord lugesin kokku... )

Brändi kohta nii palju, et kindlasti on Alexander McQueen väga äge disainer, praegu käisin kohe ta kodulehte uudistamas ja neetidega kingi kannaks küll, aga u 250 € paari kingade eest, ükskõik kui kvaliteetsed nad on, on minule küll üle jõu käiv. Üldine looming aga mulle iseenesest meeldib, nii et pigem on selle punktiga täppi pandud - aga usun, et antud disainer meeldib ka teistele, olenemata tähtkujust. :D

Loodan, et polnud väga igav lugemine ja kui soovite enda tähtkuju kohta rohkem teada saada, siis siin on link uuesti: http://buduaar.ee artiklile.

Aitäh, et leidsite aega lugeda!

Haul: What have I purchased in April

2012-04-20T21:13:00.002+03:00

Hey, beauties!

Since April is almost over I wanted to share with you the beauty products and some clothes that I bought in April. I try to buy as little beauty products as I can, to save up for my birthday present and I am going to Stockholm with my boyfriend and a group of friends in the beginning of May to visit friends there who study abroad. We will travel by airplane, we chose Ryanair, because the prices are really cheap and since we are going only for a weekend, we don't need that much stuff, so we can just take only hand baggage. I wanted to show you the hotel that we are planning to stay in: Omena hotel. This is in the centrum and not so expensive at all - comparing to other options.

Okay, but now onto the haul. First, beauty products:

1. AVON Ideal Flawless finish foundation in Ivory- separate review coming, but when you first apply it, this leaves really natural finish, it has medium coverage, but unfortunately it has broken me out a tiny bit (small pimples and comedones on my forehead) and doesn't last amazingly long on my combination skin.

2. AVON supershock gel eyeliner pencil in Black- just your basic black eyeliner, really pigmented and stays on the waterline for quite a few hours.

3. AVON supershock gel eyeliner pencil in Blackberry - gorgeous creamy brown shade with golden glitter.

4. GOSH Show me volume mascara in black - I really needed a new one, because my maybelline Falsies had started to smudge a lot and fall down on my cheeks during the day. So far I am really happy with my GOSH mascara, but I have to test it out another week to give my final review. It doesn't clump, stays on well and is quite easy to remove.

5.-9. 4 new NYX Jumbo Pencils- yes I know I totally didn't need more of these, but when I bought some for other beauites in Estonia, I couldn't resist and ordered myself a backup for Milk jumbo eyepencil and wanted to try some new tones: Sparkle nude, Cobalt and Sparkle Green.

That's it!

Also I was sent by Estonian PR company new oriflame Ecobeauty daycream, nightcream and eyecream, which I used for a week, but then these broke me out really badly and I stopped using them. Should I do giveaway for these?! (the package is hygenic, because bottles come with a pump).

As for clothing, I didn't buy much, just some items from New Yorker- yes I know, they are cheap and more meant for teenagers, but as I said, I am on a budget and wanted to bring some color in my wardrobe. So I got:

1. Fishbone cobalt blue skinny jeans- my new favourite jeans!

2. Fishbone mint-green stiped cardigan - is just love this color combo!!!

3. Fishbone plain slouchy t-shirt, again mint green

4. Amisu beige-white striped t-shirt, very sheer material, needs something underneath.

5. not in the picture, just plain white tanktop

I am nowehere near pro, when taking pictures of clothes, so I took just a photo of them laying fat on my sofa.

I am too insecure to show them on myself, I've been skipping on workouts for last 2 weeks, bad bad Liis!!

Another great news is that I am doing another beauty swap, this time with a Canadian youtuber Tatiana- she is originallt from Russia. I told her that I wanted to try out some Annabelle products and maybe I can get my hands on a Revlon lip butter that suits me too. I really really want to try it out in Sweet tart.

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Kuna Aprill on juba peaaegu läbi ja loodetavasti ma enam midagi juurde ei osta, siis jagaksin teiega asju, mille sellel kuul endale soetanud olen. Iluasjade vallas olen üritanud ennast tagasi hoida ja seega ostsin ainult 9 asja. Ma tean, et seda tundub palju, aga tegelikult oli nii jumestuskreem(lõpuks ometi piisavalt hele toon!) kui ka ripsmetušš(vana oli ära kuivanud) vajalikud ostud. AVONi supershock silmapliiatseid olin ihaldanud juba mitu kuud ja kuna mu ämmakandidaat on avon-lady, siis lõpuks ometi taipasin tema kaudu need ka tellida. AVONi jumestuskreemi kohta teen ka eraldi ülevaate, kus näitan täpselt kuidas katab ja toon plussid miinused välja. Lühidalt ütleks niipalju, et keskmise katvusega poolmatt jumestuskreem, mis siiski kogu päeva peal ei püsi ja veidi on ka poore ummistav. Pisikesed punnikesed ja komedoonid on tekkinud otsmikule, kuigi oma näohoolduses ma midagi muud muutnud ei ole.

Pliiatseid mul otseselt juurde polnud vaja, aga kuna korraldasin jälle NYX silmapliiatsite ühistellimuse, siis ikka ei suutnud jätta tellimata endale 4 uut: 1 Milk tagavaraks, Cobalt, Sparkle Green ja Sparkle Nude olid aga uued toonid jumbo silmapliiatsite valikus.

Kuu alguses saadeti mulle prooviks ka uued Ecobeauty kreemid, aitäh Polhelm PR. Nendest kirjutan ka eraldi ülevaate - lühidalt, mulle need kahjuks ei sobinud, kuna mu nahk reageeris uutele toodetele väga tormiliselt (paar "toredat" punast sõpra piirkondades, mis muidu pigem punnivabad). Mis te arvate, kas ma võiksin need kreemid oma Eesti lugejate vahel välja loosida? Pakendid ise on hügieenilised, kuna kreemidel on pumbad, kasutanud olen neid kõiki max 5x. Samuti sain Giordian Gold huuleläike(lilla) ja küünelaki(virsikukarva- jah, just NIIPIDI), aga kuna hetkel juba vähemalt 2 sama loosi käimas on, siis mõtlesin enda omaga veidi oodata.

Natuke igavam on ehk mu New Yorkerist ostetud riidehunnik, aga tahtsin kevadel veidi värvi oma garderoobi tuua. Nagu aimata võite, siis olen teksapüks-kampsun inimene, kõige mugavam riietus kitli all (valge kittel katab mind 4h päevas :P ). Kitsalõikelised teksased on Fishbone'i valikust ja päriselus on nad veel erksamad kui pildil. Rohelise-mündiroh. triibuline kampsun hakkas lihtsalt värvide poolest silma, kuigi kahjuks lõige mulle väga ei sobi. Mündiroheline t-särk oli aha lihtsalt implussost, mida ma õnneks ei kahetse. Beeži-valgetriibuline pluus tundus mõnusalt neutraalne valik tasakaalustamaks kogu värvide ülekullastust (pildil ei ole selle pluusi alla ostetud valget maikat).

Andke andeks, et riided kõige paremini presenteeritud pole, aga OOTD postitusi tee siin nägema ei hakka, ma olen liiga ebakindel, et siia neid postitada. Ebakindlus tuleneb jälle laiskusest, pole juba 2 nädalat trenni teinud - enesetundes annab see ka juba tunda... ja süütundes ka (üks uusaasta lubadus oli ju korralikult trennis käia ja kaalu langetada).

Riiete osas ostsin enda arust palju asju, sest tavaliselt käin ma lihtsalt poodides asju vaatamas, aga tollel korral nö sai küllalt ja otsustasin endale midagi lubada ka. Õnneks valisin üsna odava poe selleks. Mind asjade halb kvaliteet ei häiri, nagunii on need tooted ju ainult max aastaks. Pole veel nii rikas et endale kvaliteetseid rõivaid lubada.
Lisaks, lähen mai alguses (juba 2 näd pärast) Stockholmi, sõpradele külla, kes seal aasta Erasmuse projekti kaudu õppida saavad. Seekord ei ole eestlastele tavapärane laevakruiis, vaid läheme hoopis Ryanairiga (piletid on megaodavad!!!) ja saame laevasõidule kuluva aja võrra rohkem Stockholmis kohapeal olla. Ööbime mõnusas Omena hotellis, mida jagaks ka teiega, kuna väga kihvt sisekujundus tundub seal olevat (klõpsake lingile, siis näete ;)). Tundub, et tegemist on ka kõige odavama hotelli/hosteliga Stockholmi kesklinna piirkonnas.

Andke teada, kas sooviksite ka edaspidi mu ostude kohta postitusi näha. Võib-olla annab see kellelegi ideid, mille suhtes poes silmad lahti hoida. ;) Kui asjade hindu tahate teada, siis võite kommentaarides küsida, aga ma ei saa lubada, et ma kõike täpselt mäletan.

Kõike head,

Liis

Makeup Look Inspired by Hunger Games: District 4

2012-04-18T15:27:00.001+03:00

Hey, beauties!

I am a big fan of the Hunger Games series and yesterday I decided to do my own series inspired by districts in Panem. So there is going to be a total of 14 looks - I counted the capitol as a separate district. Since I really wanted to do something colorful and defenitely out of my comfort zone- I wear blue eyeshadows very rarely, I started with District 4. This isn´t meant to be a wearable look, well at least I wouldn´t wear it out.

If you want to read more about District for go here, but basically every district has their own sepciality and for district 4 it is fishing and other edible marine life. So that explains the overusage of bright blue and sea green color. I even tried something more crazy, but I won´t post it here.

Eyeshadows are from 120 palette & MUA Immaculate palette. As a base I used NYX jumbo eye pencils in Pacific, milk and cobalt and NYX slide on pencil in Azure. In my lower lashline and waterline I used Make Up store´s eyepencil in Water Spring.

I kept the rest of the face pretty simple and used a peach blush by Milani called Luminoso and NYX Mega shine lipgloss in Smokey look on my lips.

Hahaa.. I look so young in this picture, actually I am already getting 24 in almost a month!

I can´t promise you now when I will post the next look in this series, but it will come. And I truly hope that I can find inspiration to do all 14...

Let me know what do you think of this look!

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Tundub, et ei ole inimest, kes ei teaks Näljamängude triloogiat- olen kõik 3 raamatut läbi lugenud ja suur fänn. Väga palju on ilumaailmas sellest raamatust inspireeritud meike, kuna Panem on ju nii mugavalt jaotatud 13ks ringkonnaks ning on üks uhke pealinn, otsustasin teha ka oma seeria, kus saab kokku olema 14 meiki. Kuna täna oli mul tuju kasutada väga erksaid värve ja sinised on viimaste seas, mida üldse kasutan, otsustasin alustada 4 ringkonnaga, mille eripäraks on kalandus ja kõik merega seotu. Kohe kindlasti ei ole see meik, millega ma tänavale patseerima julgeks minna - tegemist on pigem fantaasiameigiga ning palun piltide vaatamisel ja kommenteerimisel ka sellega arvestada. Lauvärvid on pärit 120 tooniga paletist ja MUA Immaculate paletist, nende all kasutasin NYXi jumbo silmapliiatseid (toonid Pacific, Milk, veidi ka Cobalt), NYXi slide on silmapliiatsit toonis Azure ja alumisel ripsmejoonel ning limaskestal on Make up store´i Water Spring silmapliiats. Kindlasti annaks vunki juurde veel kunstiripsmed, aga ma olen ikka veel nende paigaldamisel käpard, nii et ei hakanud katsetama.

Põsed ja huuled otsustasin jätta pigem neutraalsemaks ja seega kasutasin virsikukarva põsepuna(Milani baked blush in Luminosos) ning huuleläiget(NYXi megashine huuleläige toonis smokey look).

Ma hetkel ei julge lubada, millal täpselt ja mis ringkonna meik järgmisena tuleb, aga loodan väga, et ma leian endas piisavalt püsivust ja fantaasiat, et teieni tuua kõik 14 meiki.

Andke teada, mida sellest meigist arvate - minu meelest tuli päris hästi välja! :)

Aitäh, et lugesite!

NB! Kõik, kes satuvad mu blogi lugema teiste blogide kaudu siis palun kasutage follow nuppu, oleksin teile väga tänulik ja kohe kindlasti luban suuremat loosi, kui mul 500 followeri täitub - tundub, et sellel aastal satub see enamvähem samasse aega mu sünnipäevaga, mis on mai lõpus. ;)

FOTD: Candy pink

2012-04-16T21:23:00.001+03:00

Hey, beauties!
Here is just a quick face of the day, that I did on last Thursday. I played around with Sleek´s Oh So Special palette, that I have neglected somewhat since I got it. Also I tried out Avon Ideal flawless foundation that pixiwoo sister´s have really liked- I promise to write a review if I have used it longer.

What I used:

Face: Avon Ideal Flawless invisible coverage foundation in Ivory (that is the lightest shade in their range!) Applied it with Sigma F 80 flat top kabuki brush.

ELF mineral blush in coral (still reaching for that one, elf UK, please restock my favorite blush!) Applied with ELF studio blush brush.

Eyebrows: NYX Eyebrow Cake powder in blonde (I used ELF studio small angled brush) + ELF Wet gloss & brow mascara

Eyes:

Eyeliner: Art Deco high precision eyeliner in black

Eyeprimer: Make up store tinted eyerpimer

Eyeshadows from Sleek Oh So Special palette. (Took this photo from the review of this palette)

Shades used:

1. All over the lid: Pamper

2. In the outer corner: a little bit of Organza

3. In the crease: a mixture of Gift basket and Boxed

4. On the lower lashline: Gift basket

+ 2 eyeshadow brushes: ELF Eyeshadow C brush + Sigma E25 travel sized blending brush.

Mascara: Maybelline Falsies volume express (which has tried out and flkes and smudges on my lower lashline - I already bough a new one- GOSH Show me volume mascara)

Lips: I think I used Lumiere lipgloss in Frost bite or NYX Mega shine lipgloss in gold pink (I´m so sorry, I can´t remember which one).

In Estonian:

Hei, kaunitarid!

Üks kiire päevane meik, mille tegin eelmisel neljapäeval. Kasutasin selleks Sleeki Oh So Special paletti, kus on mõnusad pastelsed roosad segatuna igapäevasemate pruunidega. Katsetasin ka minu jaoks uut Avoni jumestuskreemi, mis peaks andma täiusliku jume, kuid samas jäädes ise märkamatuks. Kirjutan kindlasti selle kohta eraldi arvustuse. Katvus on tõesti hea ja nahal maskitunnet ka ei teki. Minul on kõige heledam toon nende valikust. Põskedel on mu igapäevane põsepuna ELFi mineraaltoodete hulgast- toonis Coral. ELF palun täienda oma varusid sellega, enne ma uut tellimust ei tee.

Kulmude täitmiseks kasutasin NYXi kulmupuudri komplekti, mis mõeldud blondidele- jah, Eesti kartulikoorele sobivad blondidele mõeldud toonid. Kulmukarvad taltsutasin kõigi suure lemmiku ELFi wet gloss & brow mascaraga (haah, nimi hakkab juba pähe kuluma, varem pidin iga kord ELFi lefelt või pakendilt vaatama).

Lainerina kasutasin ArtDeco High Precision eyelinerit, see on mul kohe kindlasti paar kuud olnud ja ärakuivamise märke veel ei ilmuta õnneks.

Ma tõesti ei mäleta mis toodet ma huultel kasutasin, aga igasugune heleroosa huuleläige sobib, kui soovite sarnast tulemust!

hehee.. vabandust väheste piltide eest, ma läksin hiljem natuke hoogu ja arendasin antud look´i veel edasi- rõhutades rohkem koopajoont, lisades tumepruuni silmapliiatsi limaskestale jne. Kui te VÄGA tahate võin seda tulemust ka näidata, aga nagu ütlesin, siis läksin tõesti veidi liiale ja mulle tegelikult nii tume meik ei sobi.

Kena kevadet ja rohkelt päikest!

NOTD: Revlon Whimsical & China Glaze For Audrey

2012-04-14T18:23:00.000+03:00

Hey!

I managed to buy Whimsical from http://www.thetracefacephiles.com/blog sale and OMG is this pretty. When I got it I instantly wanted to pair it up with China Glaze For Audrey, which is my all time favorite nail polish. Unfortunately it has started to separate and become a little gloopy so I had to mix it up and add some thinner. Combination is just perfect, I can´t stop staring at my nails.

I also got Revlon Facets of Fuschia from her blog sale, but I already sold it, so I can´t show you that anymore. It was pretty and it really broke my heart to sell it, but I know that I don´t really wear dark polishes. I hope my friend is happy with her new polish. (Greetings to Urmeli!)

Anyway, here is the result.

I used 2 coats of For Audrey and 2 coats of Whimsical.

And here is a close up to show the pretty glitters in Whimsical. (the smallest glitters that reflect blue here seem to be the "bubbles" in real life :D )

What do you think of this combination? Are you one of the beauty girls who love Revlon Whimsical?

Thank you for reading!

In Estonian:

Mul õnnestus ühelt blogimüügilt osta endale 2 Revloni haruldast lakki, ühte näete neist tänases postituses, see on Revlon Whimsical. Kuna Whimsical ise on oma olemuselt üsna kerge katvusega ja ma ei raatsi seda väga palju kulutada, siis kasutasin baasvärvina ühte oma lemmikutest- China Glaze For Audrey lakki. Minu meelest üliarmas ja kevadine kombinatsioon. Päriselus tunduks nagu lakk mullitaks veidi, kuid tegemist on tegelikult imeväikeste glitter osakestega, mis mingi nurga alt peegeldavad sinist või hõbedast tooni.

Piltidel on kasutatud mõlemat lakki 2 kihti. Loomulikult kasutasin alus- ja pealislakki ka, aga pildile neid ei lisanud, usun et te olete neid varem ka näinud.

Teine haruldus oli Revlon Facets of Fuschia, mis on imekena lakk, aga kuna minu jaoks on tegelikult mustal baasil lakk veidi liiga tume, siis müüsin selle ühele heale sõbrannale, kes sellesse esimest silmapilgust armus. (Tervitused, Urmelile! Ma tean küll et sa seda blogi vahel loed ;)) Mu süda tilkus verd, aga usun, et tema tunneb sellest lakist rohkem rõõmu.

Andke teada, mis te sellest kombinatsioonist arvate ja kas te kuulute ka nende hulka, kelle silmis on Revloni Whimsical lakk ülikena.

Aitäh, et lugesite!

Battle: Urban Decay Naked vs MUA Heaven and Earth

2012-04-09T17:31:00.000+03:00

Hello beauties!

Today I am writing a comparison post, both palettes are pretty well known in the blogging and youtube world. UD naked is in no doubt a holy grail neutral eyeshadow palette for many users, but does MUA heaven and earth palette step on it´s heels?

Here are all the pretty colors you get in these palettes:

Price: UD Naked 36£ vs MUA 4£ - MUA wins in this category
Both have 12 neutral eyeshadws, but how much product you really get:

UD Naked 15.6 grams vs MUA 9.6 grams - UD wins (more great eyeshadows to use!)
Color variety: Is defenitely better in UD palette, IMO Heaven and earth palette have too much similar mid toned warm browns and lacks a black eyeshadow. UD 1: MUA 0
Color finishes: UD has 2 matte shades and MUA has 0, so UD wins again.
Eyeshadow texture: UD is known for it´s buttery smooth shadows, MUA comes pretty close for most of the shades (but some are not that great) So UD wins once again.
Packaging: MUA palette is defenitely smaller and more hygenic, but UD palette comes with a decent size mirror. MUA wins in this category.

Final score: UD wins (UD 4: 2 MUA)

I´ll let you decide, if they are dupes or not:

All the swatches are done on bare skin(I usually don´t use a primer, because I really want to see how good are the shadows on their own). Pictures are taken in daylight without flash.
Numbering starts from the top row, left and second row from left - sorry I didn't make axtra photo for numbering.

MUA 4- UD Virgin (quite close!)

MUA 9 - UD Sin

Almost there, MUA 9 is a bit less pigmented and more peachy.

MUA 8- UD Naked/Buck

You can´t compare matte vs shimmers, but Naked and MUA 8 seems to be pretty similar in tone.

MUA 2, 10 or 12- UD Sidecar

I don´t see any dupes for sidecar.

MUA 3 or 6- UD Half baked

All are golds, but that´s where the similarity ends. MUA 3 is more greener and MUA 6 is more warmer gold. Also Half baked is the most buttery shade I have ever touched - so no similarity in texture either.

MUA 2, 3, 11 - UD Smog

No dupes here, 2 is too gold, 3 is too warm, 11 is too warm and darker.

MUA 5, 11, 12 - UD Darkhorse
No dupes here, all MUA colors are lighter and warmer than darkhorse.

MUA 2, 5, 10, 11- UD Toasted
MUA 10 actually seems to be pretty close, others not so much.

MUA 5, 7- UD Hustle
You can't find any similar tone in MUA palette for this eyeshadow.

In conclusion: they are defenitely not dupes, but if you are on a budget and want some good neutral eyeshadows, then MUA Heaven & Earth palette is really close. I tend to use MUA one more, because I don´t want to waste my precious Naked palette.

In Estonian:
Täna siis üks postitus, kus võrdlen paljude lemmikut Urban Decay Naked paletti ja järjekordset "teisikut" MUA Heaven and Earth palett - kas tõesti suudab keegi UD kandadele astuda?
Võrdlesin neid 6 aspektist:
1. Hind: UD palett maksab £ 36 ja MUA palett £ 4
2. Kui palju toodet selle raha eest saab ehk kogus:
UD paletis on 15.6 grammi, MUA paletis 9.6 g.
3. & 4. Toonivalik ja finish: Mõlemas on 12 neutraalset tooni, aga MUA paletis pole ühtegi matti lauvärvi ning puudub ka must (või äärmisel juhul tumehall)
5. Lauvärvide tekstuur: no UD võisele tekstuurile vastu ei saa, kuigi ka MUA lauvärvid pole ülemäära kriitjad - kipuvad nad siiski rohkem põsele pudenema.
6. Pakend: MUA palett on väiksem, kuid puudub peegel (mida ma nagunii ei kasutaks) - pakend ise on tunduvalt hügieenilisem. Naked palett on suur ja näeb parem välja, kuid sametine kate määrdub kergesti ning seda on keeruline puhastada. Kobakäppadele on vist naked palett ohutum - usun et pappümbris on parem amortisaator kui paljas plastik.
Toonivõrdluseid näete ülevalt - ma ütleks, et täiesti samu toone te MUA paletist ei leia, küll aga on tegemist üsna hea paletiga selles hinnaklassis. MUA saadab juba mõnda aega ka oma tooteid Eestisse, MUA paleti ülevaates ütlesin, et sain ta kätte 14.märts. Tellimus tuli UKst 14 päeva.
Loodan, et kellelgi oli sellest postitusest kasu ka - kuigi tundub, et paljud mu postitused on pigem nö tundmatute brändide ülevaated. Mind tõesti ei tõmba Eestist kuskilt kosmeetikapoest väga tooteid ostma kui mujalt saab palju põnevamaid tooteid ja palju odavamalt kui Eestist. ;)
Tänan, et leidsite aega lugeda!

UK meigibränd Illamasqua pakub lihavõtete puhul suurepärast allahindlust. Iga päev avaldatakse uus kategooria, millest tuleb üles leida 5 toodet, mis on 50% allahinnatud. Tooteid ei pea ostma konkreetsel päeval, võite tellida ka viimasel päeval - siis on ka 4. päeva allahindlus juba teada. Teie elu lihtsustamiseks otsisin juba kategooriad läbi ja ülevalt leiate nimekirja konkreetsetest tootedest, mis on allahinnatud.
Mul endal ei ole veel ühtegi Illamaswua toodet, aga olen nende meigi kohta väga palju head kuulnud, pidid väga hea pigmendiga olema, nii et näpud ikka väga sügelevad - aga lubasin ju endale, et hoian kokku, nii et ise vist ei telli midagi.
Lisaks allahindlusele pakuvad nad ka tasuta saatmist kui summa ületab 75 naela (kui kamba peale tellida, siis oleks see vist isegi reaalselt võimalik täis saada).

Ilusaid lihavõtteid!
