NOTD: silvery snowflakes in dark night

I just had to use my new China Glaze nail polishes for my new mani. This mani looks adorable in real life and I just couldn´t capture it on the photo and that sucks :S I really hate winter time where there is so little daylight and I just don´t like taking pictures using artificial light and my camera isn´t the best either :S 

Anyway I used two coats of China Glaze Velvet bow and then stamped these snowflake-like images using China Glaze Icicle. 

 What I used:
- SpaRitual Protein Boost Nail Fortifier
- China Glaze nail polish in Velvet Bow
- China Glaze nail polish in Icicle
- OPI RapiDry Top Coat
- stamping plate A36 from eBay

weekend shopping...

Niisiis eile sai jälle natukene shoppamas käidud Viru Keskuses. Rohkem tegin küll window shopingut, aga mõne asja ostsin ära ka :P

Kõigepealt siis China Glaze´i kinkekomplekt, mille ostsin Kaubamajast, kus 4 täissuuruses küünelakki ja maniküürikott koos väikese küüneviiliga. Hinnaks 20€ (mina sain Partnerkaardiga selle 19€-ga). 

Yesterday I went shopping at Viru Keskus. Mostly I did window shopping but I did buy some things. Firstly I bought China Glaze Gift Set that contains four full sized nail polishes and a small manicure case with nail file. That set cost 20€. 

L-R: Velvet Bow, Poinsettia, Icicle, Tinsel Town

Swatches:

with flash: L-R: Icicle, Velvet Bow, Poinsettia, Tinsel Town

natural light: L-R: Icicle, Velvet Bow, Poinsettia, Tinsel Town

Lisaks ostsin veel ka China Glaze´i kiirkuivatava pealislaki (7,50€)/ I also bought China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat (€7.50)

Lisaks ostsin ma Kaubamaja Ilumaailmast ka uue päevakreemi ja silmakreemi. Tavaliselt lähen ma kreemi ostma nii, et tean täpselt mida ma tahan, seekord aga teadsin ma vaid milleks mul kreemi vaja on aga mis firma oma vms selles suhtes oli eeltöö nö tegemata. Ning seega siis oli seekord esimene kord kui lasin klienditeenindajal endale erinevaid kreeme tutvustada ja lõpuks ostsingi tema poolt soovitatu. Tegemist siis minu jaoks täiesti tundmatu firma kreemidega.  

I also bought a new eye cream and day cream. Usually when I go shopping for a new cream then I know exactly what I want, but this time I only new that I wanted and needed a new cream and that it. And so it was the first time when I let the sales person introduce me different creams and I finally bought creams she recommended. I have never heard of this brand before. 

Fresh Look Rebalance kreem näole (14€) /Fresh Look Rebalance cream (€14)

 Fresh Look silmakreem (15,27€) /Fresh Look Eye Cream (€15,27)

Lisaks sain kaasa ka Natural Sea Beauty Mineral Aqua Anti-Wrinkle kreemi testri. Selle firma tooteid olen varemgi kasutanud. Näiteks meeldib mulle väga nende Mudamask kuivale nahale. 

I also got a sample of Natural Sea Beauty Mineral Aqua Anti-Wrinkle cream. I have used products by this Natural Sea Beauty before. I really love their Mud Mask for dry skin. 

And thats it! No clothes this time, even though it was very hard not to buy a cute blue top from Vero Moda :S

Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist Lipstick in Pure Berry

This is my second Oriflame lipstick, but first one that I purchased (the first one I got as a gift about a year ago). I´m not a lipstick person - I really prefer lip glosses. 

Oriflame Studio Artist Lipstick in Berry Pink is medium dark berry color, but when I apply it on my lips then it looks lighter and brighter and not dark at all. 

What they say about Studio Artist Lipsticks on Oriflame´s homepage:
Creamy shine without shimmer! A satin-smooth texture in warm, muted shades for perfectly luscious lips with a flawless finish. The creamy, comfortable formulation moisturises your lips, leaving them feeling as wonderful as they look. The specially designed bullet shape means expert precision when applying.
Ingredients/ koostis:

RICINUS COMMUNIS OIL, OCTYLDODECANOL, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRACAPRYLATE/TETRACAPRATE, LANOLIN, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, CERA MICROCRISTALLINA, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, POLYETHYLENE, PARAFFIN, MICA, BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, CANDELILLA CERA, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, CERA CARNAUBA, SILICA, BUTYL METHOXYDIBENZOYLMETHANE, PARFUM, CANOLA OIL, PROPYLPARABEN, ROSA CANINA FRUIT OIL, TALC, BHT, TOCOPHEROL

Pure Berry on my lips (photo taken in natural light)

My opinion about it: 
What I like:
- creamy and without shimmer as promised
- moisturises my lips nicely
- lovely shade - perfect for using every day
- mild scent


What I don´t like:
- doesn´t stay on very long. Stays about 2 or 3 hours, but if I eat or drink then even less.
- not very well pigmented

So I would give this lipstick 4 points out of 5, but I wouldn´t purchase it again.

Eesti keeles ka :)

Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist huulepulk toonis Pure Berry on minu teine Oriflame´i huulepulk (aga esimene mille ma ise sealt ostnud olen, teise Oriflame huulepulga sain aasta tagasi kingituseks). Tegelikult ei ole ma väga huulepulga inimene - eelistan kasutada huuleläikeid. 

Oriflame´i Studio Artist huulepulk toonis Pure Berry on keskmiselt tume marjatoon, aga kui ma selle huultele kannan jääb ta palju heledam ja üldse mitte tume. 

Oriflame kodulehelt info Oriflame Beauty Studio Artist huulepulga kohta:

Kreemjas, ilma sädeluseta läige! Satiinsileda tekstuuriga huulepulk soojades summutatud toonides. Veatu tulemus. Koostis, mis niisutab huuli, annab huultele suurepärase tunde ja välimuse. Spetsiaalselt disainitud otsik võimaldab täpse pealekandmise.

Minu arvamus selle huulepulga kohta:

Mis mulle meeldib: 

- kreemjas ja sädeluseta nagu lubatud

- niisutab huuli mõnusalt

- kena toon - sobilik igapäevaseks kasutamiseks

- õrn lõhn

Mis mulle ei meeldi:

- püsib 2-3tundi ja kui ma söön ja joon siis veelgi vähem

- ei ole eriti pigmenteeritud

Kokkuvõttes 4 punkti 5 ja rohkem seda tooni ei ostaks. 

NOTD: something from Fail Category

So this mani is from my Fail Category and actually it is more like a NOTH (nails of the hour) then NOTD, because I removed it pretty quickly.
I had great plan but unfortunately the result just wasn´t what I had expected.
