Question Wednesday Blog Hop #10 {Changing Seasons}

1. What is your favorite season? What colors, scents, tastes, sounds do you associate with it?

I don´t have a favorite season. I like all four seasons, because they all are so different. 

2. What are your favorite and least favorite parts of each season?
What I like: Spring - everything is fresh and blooming, singing birds return back and everything is just so happy. Summer - warm weather, I don´t have to go to work :D Autumn - colorful leaves Winter - snow, snow and snow!  What I don´t like: Spring - rainy and windy weather. Summer - sometimes it is just too hot. Autumn - wind, rain, mud :S Winter - when the weather get too cold or it is one of those winters when there is no snow, just rain :S

3. Do you have any seasonal disorders (SAD, allergies, the fall dread of school starting up or celebration of same...)?
No.  

4. How do you change your beauty routine as the seasons change? Do you use different products, or just different colors? (Or less makeup during one season, or more during another?)
There aren´t many changes. I change the moisturising cream if weather gets warmer and start using cream with SPF. For my nails I use more bright colors in the spring and summer. 

5. Share your favorite winter or summer recipe! A salad, a sandwich, a dessert, a drink...anything.
This is difficult. I do cook, but so far what I make hasn´t really depended on the season.

a tiny e.l.f haul....

I made a small order from eyeslipsface.co.uk. Actually I ordered more items, but since I am planning to have some giveaways in the near future then I will only show you the stuff I got for myself ;)

I have said before that I am not really a lipstick person, but.... but I really wanted to try some  lipsticks, because I am little tired of lip glosses and so I decided to try these e.l.f. lipsticks. They didn´t cost much so even if they are no good then I won´t be very sad.
So e.l.f. Lipsticks in Nostalgic and in Seductive

and another lip product - Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Perfect Pink

And something for eyes - e.l.f. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in black

Latest beauty buys....

This post will be short, because I haven´t bought or ordered very many beauty related items lately.

Dry Flowers from eBay. My mani with them you will see tomorrow.

New fast dry top coat. I have heard so many good things about Poshe top coat and so decided to give it a try. This is also from eBay.

My hair is completely blonde again and so I wanted something for my blonde hair. From I.L.U I bought Goldwell Golorglow Leave-in treatment for blonde hair. This is promised to make them easy to comb and protect against heat and sun. I hope it is good. 

Going blonde again also means that I need a good nourishing hair mask and so from Selver I bought this. It was there on sale (€2.69 I think). I haven´t used any haircare products from Dove before so I really don´t know what to expect.

I love receiving packages...

... especially if it is something I have won :D 
About three weeks ago I won JennaFroggy´s from I´m Still Thinking.... giveaway and this week I received the prize :)

Here you can see everything I received ....


I got 3 Sinful Colors minis. I already used one of them for my mani, that I will show you tomorrow ;)

My very first Julep product. I already have used Julep Glycolic Hand Scrub couple of times and I love how soft my hands are after using it.

City Color bronzer

Eyeshadow palette from City Color

Sparkling Cuticle Oil from Wonder Beauty Products on Etsy

8 containers of loose glitters

and something sweet :) 

Thank you again Jenna :)

PS! My next giveaway will be coming... soon.....

Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment

I ordered Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment from Lookfantastic.com when they had their Spring sale. I don´t have problems with weak or very short lashes, but I wanted something to treat them a bit :) I read raving comments about this treatment and so when I found it on sale then I of course ordered it. 
 For now I have used it 37 days and so I think it is time to show you the results, but before that of course the photos of the product and promises....

Information on the packaging

The promises from Lookfantastic 
"Strengthen, lengthen and thicken lashes with Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment. This unique nutritive product for lashes stimulates lash growth so you wake up to lovely luxuriant and silky lashes.
Eye lashes are an essential element of face beauty. Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment contains proteins and natural active ingredients which strengthen, cover and protect the lashes allowing them to become healthy, long and resistant."

Ingerdients: 

The product is in glass bottle and it comes with a brush that looks like a mascara wand. Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash serum is really easy to apply - just like your regular mascara. The serum is clear and it isn´t noticeable when applied on lashes. 


Before and after photos.
From the before and after (that I made 37 days after starting using the product) photos I can´t really see a difference, but IRL I can see a difference in the length of my lashes (or maybe it is my imagination) and my lashes look especially pretty when I apply mascara.


My review and opinions about Mavala Eye-Lite Double Lash Night Treatment
What I like about it:
- easy to apply on my lashes
- doesn´t irritate my eyes
- made my lashes bit longer (even though I can´t see it on the photos :S)
- doesn´t cost very much (when compared to similar products)
- the serum doesn´t have any scent


What I don´t like
- by the comments and reviews that I read I assumed that this treatment would make my lashes look EXTRA gorgeous :D
- the packaging - the glass bottle isn´t very travel friendly and if you are clumsy then you just might drop it and break it. 


In conclusion this is good product and I would advise you to give it a try if you have problems with weak or short lashes, because it helps to grow then bit longer, but don´t expect some major results. 


Eesti keeles ka :)
Mavala Double Lash ripsmete hooldusvahendi tellisin ma Lookfantastic´st kui seal oli kevadine allahindlus. (Eestimaistest e-poodidest on see saadaval nt Mia Boutique´s ja seda päris hea hinnaga - 9.06€)
Mul ei ole otseselt probleeme nõrkade või väga lühikeste ripsmetega, aga ikka tahaks ju eriti pikki ja ilusaid ja vaevalt, et väike turgutuskuur neile paha teeks. Olles lugenud netiavarustest kiidukommentaare just sellele tootele ja arvestades selle head hinda siis otsustasingi selle ära proovida.
Pärast 37 päevast kasutamist on tulemused siis sellised nagu eespoololevatel befor ja after piltidel näha võib. Piltidelt ei ole eriti suuri muutusi märgata, kui peeglisse vaadates mulle küll tundub, et ripsmed oleksid nagu pikemad ja ilusamad kui enne (või on see mu kujutlusvõime tulemus :D) Igatahes kui veel ripsmetušši ka kasutada, siis tunduvad ripsmed endisest veelgi ilusamad :D


Info Mavala Double Lash ripsmete hooldusvahendi kohta Mia Boutique lehelt:
"Ripsmete hooldusvahend, mis tugevdab, pikendab ja tihendab ripsmeid. Toitev hooldusvahend, mis pikendab ja tugevdab ripsmeid, aitab stimuleerida ripsmete kiiremat kasvu ja kaitseb neid. Looduslikud koostisained annavad ripsmetele sära ja tihedust. Toode, mis on täiustatud loodusliku mukopolüsahhariidiga (glütsiidikompleksühend), mis mõjub karvakasvule soodsalt. See toimeaine on kombineeritud aminohappe ja B2-vitamiiniga, mille soodne mõju kapillaarsele kasvule on üldtuntud. Teie ripsmed on tugevamad, kaitstud, pikemad ja vastupidavamad. Esimesi tulemusi näete kuu aja pärast.
Kasutamine: Kandke vahend ööseks puhastatud ripsmetele. Jätke ripsmetele kogu ööks."


Minu arvamus Mavala Double Lash ripsmete hooldusvahendist:
Mis mulle meeldib:
- väga lihtne peale kanda
- ei ärritanud mu silmi
- muutis mu ripsmesd minu arvates veidi pikemaks ja ilusamaks
- ei maksa väga palju kui võrrelda hinda teiste samalaadsete toodetega
- tootel pole mingit lõhna

Mis mulle ei meeldi:
- kommentaaride põhjal eeldasin ja ootasin hüpersupermega tulemust :D
- ripsmete hooldusvahend on klaasist pudelikeses ja seega see väga reismise sõbralik pole ja maha seda ka kukutada hea idee vist ei ole :D

Kokkuvõttes on tegu normaalse tootega ja juhul kui mureks on nõrgad või lühikesed ripsmed, siis soovitan seda proovida, sest ilusamaks aitab ta ikka ripsmeid muuta, lihtsalt ei tasu oodata mingeid super tulemusi.

Last weeks in pics....

So here is another random post about my last two weeks in pics. There really isn´t anything very interesting. Mainly just work work and work.......


I received my small order from ASOS. I needed a maternity dress to wear on a party this weekend and so I also ordered a body wash that was on sale.


I made a strawberry cheesecake for my Mr R. It turned out delicious.....

On one lovely and sunny day we went to Leetse to grill and enjoy the weather. There was just one very very VERY annoying thing about it - the very hungry mosquitoes or midges or what ever you want to call them :S

.... and me 24 weeks pregnant

 One day I was bit lazy and used only mascara and e.l.f. Shimmer eye pencil in Teal for my eye makeup :P

My mom´s tulips

I also have been wearing my very very cheap flats from everything5pounds.com. I love these flats!

Thanks for reading :)
I hope you enjoyed my non-beauty related post :P
