Maybelline Volum´ Express the Falsies Flared Mascara

                        

I was one of these lucky girls who got this new Maybelline Volum´ Express the Falsies Flared Mascara. I have used it almost 2 weeks and this is one of the best mascaras that I have used. 

Kurvja kujuga ripsmetuši hari/ Spoon curler brush

So first a little commercial about it: 

Maybelline promises:

False lash glam with a flare, instantly!  
• Patented Spoon Curler Brush fans out lashes from corner-to-corner, while our Pro-Keratin formula instantly builds volume without clumping.
• Unique flexible wand lifts and separates lashes to provide the look of 300% more visible, lashes.
For best results: Hold brush with spoon side upwards against lashes and sweep from root to tip. Repeat until desired look is achieved. Do not let dry between coats.

So what I expect from mascara:
- false lash effect
- doesn´t flake
- doesn´t smear or smudge
- nicely separated lashes
- doesn´t irritate eyes
- easy to remove


Pictures - Different days and different eye makeups:
You can see my lashes without any mascara HERE.

So what I think about Maybelline the Falsies Flared Mascara:
What I like: 
- makes my lashes thicker, longer and nicely curled
- doesn´t irritate my eyes
- easy to apply
- easy to remove
- doesn´t flake or smudge and stays on all day :)
- leaves my lashes nicely separated

What I don´t like:
- mascara wand is quite big and so it is bit hard to apply mascara on my lower eyelashes

So this is one of those mascaras that I would repurchase. I just love it!

Olin üks neist õnnelikest FB kasutajatest, kes sai proovida uut Maybelline Volum´ Express the Falsies Flared ripsmetušši. Ma olen seda nüüdseks kasutanud peaaegu 2 nädalat ja see on üks parimaid ripsmetušše!

Kõigepealt siis minu ootused ripsmetušile:

- kunstripsmete efekt st pikad, tihedad ripsmed

- ei pudene 

- ei määri

- ilusad eraldatud ripsmed

- ei ärrita silmi

- kerge eemaldada

Minu arvamus Maybelline´i Falsies Flared ripsmetušist:
Mis mulle meeldib: 
- muudab ripsmed tihedamaks ja pikemaks
- ei ärrita silmi
- lihtne peale kanda
- lihtne eemaldada
- ei jäta tükke, ei määri ja püsib peal terve päeva.
- jätab ripsmed kaunilt eraldatuks. 


Mis mulle ei meeldi:
- ripsmetuši hari on üsna suur ja seega on alumisi ripsmeid veidi raske värvida. 


Kokkuvõttes super hea ripsmekas ja kindlasti üks neist mida ostaksin uuesti! 

NOTD: nails inc Magnetic Polish

I used my new nails inc. magnetic polish for this mani. Actually that's all I used :)

But before showing you photos of my nails I want to share some information about these nail inc Magnetic Polishes from nails inc homepage. 

Magnetic polish is the most exciting nail polish you have ever seen. This amazing nail polish will give instant WOW factor and ensure that you are miles ahead of the fashion game. You can create a gorgeous nail art effect in just a few minutes using these unique magnetic polishes.

HOW DOES MAGNETIC POLISH WORK?
This unique formula has been specially developed with metallic particles to create a pattern on the nail using magnetic forces.As the magnet is held over the nail, the iron powder in the formulation gravitates toward the magnet forming the pattern/design secretly hidden in the magnet for an astonishing finish!

I own a nails inc Magnetic Polish in Trafalgar Square and I ordered it from ASOS.

Madre Labs Strawberry Oasis Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner

Madre Labs Strawberry Oasis Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner for dry/damaged hair were sent to me for reviewing from iHerb. I have used these alternately with Madre Labs Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner. ! like these products quite a lot.
  
All Madre Labs products are clearly marked on the packaging with "No-No-No´s" Seal. That means no sulfates, parabens, dyes, animal ingredients and animal testing. Ingredients that Madre Labs uses are considered gentle, biodegradable and "green" and they are in eco-friendly packaging. 

So about the products from iHerb. 
Shampoo:

For Dry/Damaged Hair

Contains No No-Nos

For the Love of Your Hair

With Açaí, Goji, Pomegranate and Seabuckthorn

Madre Labs® Moisturizing Shampoo gently and thoroughly cleansers your hair and scalp. It delivers the benefits of our proprietary blend of Antioxidant-Rich SuperFruits (Açaí, Goji, Pomegranate and Seabuckthorn), which helps protect your hair and scalp from oxidative and environmental damage. Aloe Vera, Amino Acids, Panthenol have been added to further nourish and moisturize dry, damage hair. The result is softer, shiny, more manageable hair.

Suggested Use

Gently shake before each use. Massage a generous amount of shampoo onto wet hair and scalp. work into rich lather. Rinse thoroughly. For best results, follow with Madre Labs® Moisturizing Conditioner. May be used daily.

Conditioner:

For Dry/Damaged Hair

Contains No No-Nos

For the Love of Your Hair

With Açaí, Goji, Pomegranate and Seabuckthorn

Madre Labs® Moisturizing Conditioner helps rehydrate dry, damaged hair. It also has the added benefit of being formulated with our proprietary blend of Antioxidant-Rich SuperFruits (Açaí, Goji, Pomegranate and Seabuckthorn), which helps protect your hair and scalp from oxidative and environmental damage. In addition, Aloe Vera, Amino Acids, Panthenol and a special blend of select oils have been added to further nourish and moisturize dry, damage hair. The result is softer, shinier, more manageable hair.


Suggested Use
Gently massage a generous amount of conditioner into wet hair and scalp. Leave on for at least one minute. Rinse thoroughly. May be used daily.

My opinion:
After using these for more than a month I like them. These are good natural moisturizing products. Well yeah, if you have very very dry or damaged hair then they might not be moisturizing enough. Couple of times I had problems when for some reason some highlighted parts of my hair were almost impossible to comb through, because there was so many tangles :S 


Anyway what I like about the shampoo:
- THE SCENT! I just love love love the scent of this shampoo (and conditioner also). This shampoo smells like strawberries. Yummy!
- lathers well
- cleans my hair well
- didn´t irritate my scalp


What I don´t like:
- for very damaged hair this shampoo isn´t moisturising enough and might leave them dry and frizzy.


I would give this shampoo 4,5 points out of 5.


What I like about the conditioner:
- delicious strawberry scent
- moisturises quite well without weighting my hair down
- leaves my hair soft and manageable
- easy to rinse out

What I don´t like:
- doesn´t moisturise enough when you have very damaged hair. 


So I would give this products 4 points out of 5 .

Madre Labs´i niisuatava šampooni ja palsami sain ma iHerb´st proovimiseks ja ülevaate kirjutamiseks. Olen neid kasutanud vahelduvalt Madre Labs´i tasakaalustava šampooni ja palsamiga ja muljed on väga positiivsed. 
Kõik Madre Labs´i tooted on sulfaadi, parabeenide, värvainete ja loomsete koostisosade vabad ning neid ei ole loomadel testitud. Madre Labs´i poolt kasutatavad koostisosad on õrnad, biolagunevad ja "rohelised" ning nad  loodussõbralikes pakendites.


Minu arvamus:
Peale rohkem kui kuuajalist Madre Labsi niisutava šampooni ja palsami kasutamist on muljed positiivsed. Need on head NATURAALSED niisutavad tooted. Muidugi jah, juhul kui tegu on väga kuivade ja rikutud juustega siis ei pruugi nad olla piisavalt niisutavad. Mõned korrad oli mul endalgi probleeme kui peale peapesu blondeeritud salgud olid millegi pärast jubedalt pusas ja nende lahti kammimine oli vaev ja piin. 


Aga nüüd siis meeldimised ja mitte meeldimised:
Mis mulle shampooni juures meeldib:
- LÕHN! Ma armastan selle šampooni (ja muidugi ka palsami) lõhna! Šampoon lõhnab nagu maasikad. Nämma!
- vahutab hästi
- teeb mu juuksed puhtaks
- ei ärrita peanahka


Mis mulle ei meeldi:
- väga rikutud juuste puhul ei niisuta šampoon piisavalt ja jätab juuksed kuivaks.


Kokkuvõttes 4,5 puntki 5st :)


Mis mulle palsami juures meeldib:
- magus maasika lõhn
- niisutab üsna hästi samas juukseid raskeks muutmata
- jätab juuksed pehmeks ja kergesti käsitsetavaks
- lihtne välja loputada


Mis mulle ei meelldi:
- väga rikutud juuste puhul ei ole piisavalt niisutav!


Kokkuvõttes 4 punkti 5st. 


Kui sa pole varem iHerb´st tellinud aga sooviksid seda teha ja samas säästa oma esimselt tellimuselt 5$ siis kasuta tellimisel koodi ROH837

NOTD: Extravagance Hello Kitty

I used two coats of OPI DS mini nail polish in Extravagance. This is very pretty color and even with one coat it looks great. I still used 2 but, really there wasn´t need for that. Also it looks good without any nail art, but I still did some stamping using stamping plate from Born Pretty.

What I used:
- Protective Base Coat by Depend
- OPI DS in Extravagance
- White nail art stamping polish from Born Pretty
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I just live these OPI mini sets. All the polishes look very very pretty and it is just so hard to decide what to put on my nails next :D

I also swatched nails inc Magnetic Polish in Trafalgar Square. 

NOTD: Pink Wednesday

I tried my new OPI nail polish in That´s Hot! Pink and I just love it. The colour is very pretty pink and it is opaque in two coats. I also used some nail stickers for this mani. I think they are by Kiss, but i´m not sure because I bought them 2 or 3 years ago and I don´t have the packaging any more.

What I used:
- Depend Protective Base Coat
- OPI Nail Lacquer in That´s Hot! Pink
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
- nail stickers

non-beauty related: MMA RAJU 8

So this post is truly non-beauty post :)
On Saturday we went to see MMA RAJU 8 event in Tartu. I have seen events like this before and they are impressive. I´m not a big fan of martial arts (but R is :P) and so the only reason I go see these events is to just see something different. 
So for those who do not know what is MMA:
MMA= Mixed Martial Arts is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, including boxing, wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay Thai, kickboxing, karate, judo and other styles. (from Wikipedia)

Nail Mail :)

e.l.f. Mineral Lip Gloss

I ordered these e.l.f. Lip Glosses in September when there was 50% off everything at e.l.f. UK. These lip glosses cost £3.00 each and I ordered them in Wild and in Au Naturale. I have been using these about a month and these are very good! I just have one complain about the shade Wild. By name I assumed that it would really be like something wild and that it would give my lips this bright color :D, but actually it doesn´t give almost any color. 

What e.l.f. says about them:

The soft and silky formula glides onto lips to create a luscious shine without feeling sticky or tacky. The sheer tint of color is the perfect hue to give you a beautiful and natural glossy look. Infused with key vitamins A & E to protect and moisturize your lips. All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.

Directions

Apply color to lips. Wear alone or layer with another color for a unique personal blend.

Ingredients:

Mineral Oil, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Mica Silica, Capryly Glycol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides (CI77491, CI77492, CI77499), Manganese Violet (CI77742), Mica (CI77019), Red No.7 Lake (CI15850), Red No.27 Lake (CI45410), Red No.6 Lake (CI15850), Blue No.1 Lake (CI42090), Yellow No.5 Lake (CI19140), Yellow No.6 Lake (CI15985).

L-R e.l.f. Mineral Lip Gloss in Wild; e.l.f. Mineral Lip Gloss in Au Naturale

L-R: Wild (heavily swatched); Wild (lightly swatched and smudged); Au Naturale (heavily swatched); Au Naturale (lightly swatched and smudged)

bare lips

e.l.f. Mineral Lip Gloss in Wild on my lips

e.l.f Mineral Lip Gloss in Au Naturale on my lips

My opinion about these lip glosses. 
What I like:
- they keep my lips nicely moisturised
- gives my lips pretty shine
- perfect for everyday use in daytime
- good applicator
- convenient packaging
 - they aren´t sticky 
- lasts about 2 hours (including a cup of tea or coffee)
- don´t cost much


What I don´t like
- I would like if they lasted longer on my lips 


So in conclusion I would give these lip glosses 5 points out of 5 and I would definitely buy them again for everyday use.

Tellisin need e.l.f.´i huuleläiked endale juba septembris kui e.l.f. UK saidil oli 50% allahindlus kõigile toodetele. Olen neid huuleläiked kasutanud nüüdseks juba kuu aega ja ma olen nendega väga rahul. Ok tooni Wild kohta võiks veidi kobised- nimelt nimetuse järgi ma oletasin (jah ma tean et oletamine ja järeldamine on minu väga halvad omadused), et tegu on erksama ja rohkem tooni andva huuleläikega, aga tegelikult on tegu üsna läbipaistva läikega, mis annabki põhiliselt ainult läiget.


Mis mulle e.l.f. mineraalidega huuleläigete juures meeldib:
- mu huuled on mõnusalt niisutatud ja ei muutu kuivaks
- annavad mu huultele ilusa läike
- sobivad igapäevaseks kasutamiseks
- väga mõnus ja mugav aplikaator, 
- mugav pakend
- ei ole vastikult kleepuvad
- püsivad huultel umbes 2 tundi (selle aja sisse jääb ka tass teed või kohvi)
- odavad


Mis mulle ei meeldi e.l.f. mineraalidega huuleläigete juures:
- võiks püsida kauem kui umbes kaks tundi


Kokkuvõttes annaksin neile huuleläigetele 5 punkti 5st ja ostaksin neid ka tulevius igapäevaseks kasutamiseks.
