NOTD: Wild&Mild 006 Pink Mania

2013-05-22T22:15:00.001+03:00

As promised in my yesterday´s haul post here is Wild&Mild 006 Pink Mania nail polish. Those who follow me on Instagram saw it already on Sunday :P

On my nails you can see 2 coats of Wild&Mild 006 Pink Mania nail polish without any top coat. This is very very bright pink polish. Applying it is easy and for opaque result you will probably need 3 coats of polish. Without top coat it stays on my nails about a day.

Lately I have bought & ordered & received

2013-05-21T22:39:00.000+03:00

I haven´t done any haul posts for a while and so I guess it is time to show you what I have bought, ordered and received in last 3 or 4 weeks.

My iHerb haul :) My iHerb ordered came very quickly this time - just in 2 weeks or so. Usually I have to wait those packages about a month.

A new hair mask. I haven´t used any Pantene products for ages and decided to give a try to Pantene Nature Fusion hair mask.

Some new watches. These I ordered from Aliexpress.com and I have worn all of them now and so far I don´t have any complaints.

The weather has been warm and sunny lately and so I purchased a gift set that contains Australian Gold Spray Gel Sunscreen SPF15 (product that I aboslutely LOVE) and Australian Gold Moisture Lock.

And for my baby son I bought Nivea Pure & Sensitive Spray SPF50.

I needed new facial wash and this time I bought Erisan Cleansing Gel. I have used it for 2 weeks now and it is definitly very good product - takes off all makeup and even a mascara.

Nail polishes! I purchased some bright neon shades and basic white and black by Wild&Mild. YOu have already seen the yellow polish and you will see the pink one tomorrow.

Last Friday I also received this little parcel fromm KKCenterHk with some new nail art products. YOu will see the first manicure done with one of these on Friday ;)

Dermosil Duo Eyeshadow - Plum

2013-05-21T11:01:00.001+03:00

Hi!

Today I have Dermosil Duo Eyeshadow in Plum swatches for you.

I won this eyeshadow duo from a giveaway and I am not asked to write about it, but since I am a beauty blogger than I just have to show it to you :)

Hei!

Täna on mul teile Dermosil Duo lauvärvidest väike postitus. Võitsin ma selle komplekti juba pool aastat tagasi ühelt loosimiselt ning mõtlesin ka teiega jagada värvinäidiseid ja ühte lihtsat meigilooki sellega.

Dermosil Duo Eyeshadows comes in stylish compact with a mirror. The duo eyeshadow set costs €8.90 and is available at www.dermoshop.com.

Dermosil Duo Eyeshadows contain two matching shades - darker for crease and outer corner and lighter shade for lid and brow bone. These eyeshadows contain little bit shimmery particles but not much and so the result looks very natural. Applying them is easy and there really ain´t no fallout. Also they stay very well all day when used with primer.

Dermosil duo lauvärvid on stiilses pisikeses peegliga karbikeses ning ühes karbis on kaks tooni: heledam laule ja kulmuluule kandmiseks ning tumedam lauvoldis ja välisnurgas kasutamiseks. Dermosil duo lauvärvid sisaldavad veidi sädelust ent lõpptulemus on naturaalne ja tagasihoidlik. Dermosil duo lauärvide peale kandmine on lihtne ning midagi eriti ka silmade alla ei pudenenud. Püsivus koos lauvärvi aluskreemiga on igati hea. Dermosil duo lauvärvide hind on www.dermoshop.com/ee lehel 8.90€

Here are the swatches. As always both shades are swatched on bare skin (first swatch) and also over primer (the second swatch).

Värvinäidised. Nagu alati on näidised nii paljal nahal kui ka koos lauvärvi aluskreemiga.

And here is a simple eyemakeup look done using Dermosil Duo Eyeshadows in Plum. As you can see then these eyeshadows are perfect for everyday wear because they just add a little color to your eyes.

NOTD: Wild&Mild 007

2013-05-16T22:58:00.002+03:00

Hi!

Today I have a NOTD post for you. Today I am wearing on my nails this very pretty and bright Wild&Mild nail polish in 007. It actually has name too, but since it has faded then I can´t really tell you the name of it :(

On my nails you can see 4 coats of Wild&Mild nail polish and 1 coat of INM OTD top coat.

Wild&Mild 007 nail polish is very very sheer (and reminded me of Sinful Colors Professional nail polish). I am not very fond of its drying time.

To get opaque neon yellow result I advise you to use 1-2 coats of white nail polish and then add 2 coats of Wild&Mild 007. This polish would also work well for glitter sandwich.

Ted Baker Blogger Competition

2013-05-15T22:18:00.001+03:00

Hi!

Sorry I haven´t posted anything for couple of days. Don´t worry everything is just fine and I ´ll post every day soon again :)

Anyway today´s post is actually a post for Ted Baker Blogger Competition. I was recently contacted about it and so here is the outfit I styled for this competition.

Putting together this look wasn´t easy because there was just too many amazing pieces to choose from, but finally I decided to go with these three items.

PATCEY Colour skinny denim £79 in Mid Blue

CATHH Stripe top £35

MAGRIAA Long length blazer £199

So why these? I wanted something simple but chic and versatile. Coloured skinny jeans with the striped top are perfect for everyday wear and when paired with blazer it looks more sophisticated and suitable for more events and occasions.

NOTD: Models Own Golden Green

2013-05-07T08:09:00.001+03:00

Hi!

The sun is shining this morning and so I wanted to put something that looks GORGEOUS in the sunshine on my nails. After going through my nail polish drawer and considering glitters I decided to apply Models Own Golden Green on my nails. I ordered this polish last Autumn, but I still haven´t used it and today´s weather just seemed perfect for wearing it. Golden Green is from Models Own Beetlejuice line and it has been around since 2011.

On my nails you can see 2 coats of Models Own Golden Green without any topcoat.

Reviva Labs Cleansing Gel review

2013-05-06T22:49:00.000+03:00

Hi!

Today I have Reviva Labs Cleansing Gel review for you. I ordered it from iHerb couple of months ago and it soon became one of my favorite cleansing gels and I also mentioned it in my April 2013 Favorites post.

Before I tell you why I liked it, here little information from the packaging.

Ingredients

Reviva Labs Cleansing Gel comes in 118ml plastic bottle. Because of its size it is very convenient for travelling. It has very delicate scent.

When compared to other cleansing gels that I´ve used so far than this one does not foam. At first it was just so strange to me, but I got used to it.

So what I liked about it?

I love love love that it does not make my skin dry. It is just so typical that after using a cleansing gel my skin feels unpleasantly dry and tight, but with this gel I didn´t get that feeling. I was also pleasantly surprised that it removed makeup pretty well (even eyemakeup and non-waterproof mascara). After using it my skin was nicely clean. Even though I do not have sensitive skin than I do believe that Reviva Labs Cleansing Gel suits sensitive skin well. What I also like about it is that Reviva Labs does not test their products on animals :)

Would I order it again?

Definitely! It performed very well and didn´t make my skin dry.

If you haven´t ordered from iHerb before then with code ROH837 you can save up to $10 from your very first order.

Hei!

Täna siis postitus Reviva Labs näopesugeelist, mida saite näha mu Aprillikuiste lemmikute postituses.

Tellisin ma selle geeli mõned kuud tagasi iHerb´st ja üsna varsti peale selle kasutama hakkamist sai see üheks mu seniseks suurimaks lemmikuks.

Reviva Labs´i näopuhastusgeel on 118ml plastikpudelis ja on just sellise mõnusa suurusega, et seda on hea kaasa võtta nt reisile. Reviva Labs´i geelil on tagasihoidlik lõhn ning erinevatelt enamikust teistest näopesugeelidest mida seni kasutanud olen, siis see ei vahuta. Alguses oli see minu jaoks väga imelik, aga harjusin sellega üsna ruttu.

Mis mulle väga väga väga meeldis oli see, et Reviva Labs´i näopesugeel ei muutnud minu näonahka ebameeldivalt kuivaks. Minu üllatuseks eemaldas see ka meigi üsna edukalt sh silmameigi ja ka mitteveekindla ripsmetuši. Kuigi minul ei ole tundlik nahk, siis selle geeli puhul ma tõesti usun, et see sobib ka tundlikule nahale ilma probleeme tekitamata. Üks pluss veel Reviva Labs´i juures on see, et nad ei testi enda tooteid loomadel :)

Kas ma ostaks seda veel?

Kindlasti! See töötas hästi ja ei muutnud mu nahka ebameeldivalt kuivaks.

April 2013 Favorites

2013-05-04T21:17:00.001+03:00

Hi!

I am little late with my April favorites post, but I guess better late then never :)

You have seen some of these products in my previous favorites posts - what can I do if I just reach so often to them.

So from the left

Reviva Labs Gentle, Soothing Cleansing Gel - I just love love love this and review of it will come soon.

Queen Helene Refreshing Mint Julep Natural Facial Scrub - Again I love it! It is not harsh on my skin and it doesn´t make it unpleasantly dry.

e.l.f. Mineral Infused Face Primer - gives me nice and even look and has affordable price.

Palmer´s Eventone BB Cream in Fair/Light- I actually have kind of love-hate relationship with this one. At first I loved it... then I absolutely hated it and in April I started loving it again. Review coming soon.

MD Formulations Sun Protector SPF30 for face - Very good sunscreen for face. I have been using quite a lot lately and I like it a lot.

For my blonde hair these LÓreal Professionnel Shine Blonde shampoo & conditioner are must-have! These remove this unwanted yellowish hues from blonde hair well and don´t make my hair dry (of course I use them only once a week).

And the nail polishes that I used the most in April.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush Bling-Tastic 04

Maybelline Colorama #749

Maybelline Colorama #181

Maybelline Colorama #86

And that´s it!

NOTD: purple on purple

Last night I added Maybelline Colorama #50 to my nails.

I did classic French tip using Colorama #50.

On my nails

DIY Scarf Hanger

2013-05-02T21:51:00.000+03:00

Hi!

Today I have a little bit different post for you :)

From blog Greyhounds In Pajamas I found this brilliant and simple idea for DIY scarf hanger.

Hei!

Blogist Greyhounds In Pajamas leidsin selle lihtsa ja geniaalse sallide hoiustamise idee.

So doing it is very simple. You need hanger and shower curtain rings.

Sallide hoidiku tegemiseks läheb vaja riidepuud ja dušikardina rõngaid (need konkreetsed ostsin Bauhofist ja hind oli 3€ ringis).

Attach shower curtain rings to the hanger.

Pane dušikardina rõngad riidepuu külge.

And then add your scarves :)

Ja siis lisa sallid :)

And ready! I just love this idea and I am happy that I found it and now storing my scarves is so much easier.

Ja ongi valmis! Olen rõõmus, et selle idee leidsin ning sallide hoiustamine muutus palju mugavamaks.

In April I wrote about....

2013-05-01T21:46:00.000+03:00

Hi!

Here is little roundup post about all the beauty related posts I did in April and so in case you missed anything you can check it out now :)

Manicure posts

In April I showed you several pretty nail polishes and some manicures. Probably one of my the most favorite one was Sally Hansen Gem Crush Bling-Tastic 04 which is gorgeous blue glitter polish. Loved it! I also showed you 3 different Maybelline Colorama nail polishe. Colorama #749 is lovely yellow nail polish, Colorama #181 is pretty yellow-green nail polish that in my opinion looks pretty unique. And then there was Colorama #86 which is pretty pastel purple. Like it a lot!

I also showed you really cool fluffy stickers and for one of my mani I used nail art stickers ordered from eBay. In April I practised stamping again and you can see my manicures with stamping here and here.

Reviews, swatches & comparisons

I compared two yellow polishes - Nubar Hot Yellow and Maybelline Colorama #749 and I also swatches one of my favorite eyeshadow palette - MUA Undressed palette.

I did 8 product reviews. Products that I loved were definitely e.l.f. Mineral Infused Primer, Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Shading Brush, e.l.f. Therapeutic Conditioning Lip Balm and MUA Gel Eyeliner.

Product that I liked (even though the shade was not very suitable for my skin tone) was Lohashill BB Cream -my very first Asian BB cream. And finally 3 products that I didn´t like or hated. I didn´t like Nivea Aqua Effect Refreshing Wash Gel because it made my skin too dry. I hated Byphasse Eyes Makeu-Up remover because it was just rather useless. And then there was Oriflame´s Very Me Fat Lash Black Out mascara that just isn´t worth the money.

In April I also did 2 EOTD posts. For one look I used Nivea Creative Eyes Pure Diamonds eyeshadow trio and for thee second one I used two different MUA eyeshadow palettes.

Don´t forger that I am running two blog giveaways at the moment. One is open Internationally and the second one is for US and Canada.

NOTD: Maybelline Colorama #86

2013-04-30T21:18:00.000+03:00

Hi!

Today on my nails is Maybelline Colorama #86 that was sent for me from Maybelline.

Colorama #86 is pretty pastel purple and I like it a lot! I have actually been wearing it since Saturday and I think I will wear it for couple of days more.

Maybelline Colorama #86 is opaque in 2 coats and drying time is faster than some other Colorama polishes that I´ve used.

On my nails you can see 3 coats of nail polish (since I had been wearing it on my nails without top coat since Saturday than I added 3rd coat to do some touch up before taking the photos)

Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Your Eyes/Enhanced Shading Brush review

2013-04-29T23:15:00.001+03:00

Hi!

Today I have Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Your Eyes/Enhanced Shading Brush review for you. I actually have had this brush for 8 months and I discovered that I still haven´t written post about it. I ordered this brush from iHerb with Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Your Eyes/Enhanced Starter Set. The reason why I ordered this brush was that the ones in the starter set seemed bit too big for more detailed shading.

Shading brush has hand-cut synthetic taklon bristles and it is 100% cruelty free. Handles of the brush is made of aluminum and so it is lightweight. I have nothing bad to say about the quality of this brush. Just like the brushes in the starter kit this one also has great quality. I have washed it many times and there hasn´t been any fall out of bristles. Also it picks up eye shadows nicely and applying them is easy. I use this brush for more detailed and precise eye shadow application and also for applying eye shadow in crease and to lower lash line.

Until May1st 2013 iHerb has special offer on all Real Technique brushes and so you can save extra 20%. If you haven´t ordered from iHerb.com before then with code ROH837 you can save up to $10 from your very first order.
