Beauty Blog Coalition Weekly Roundup, June 29



Haul: Some new nail polishes

On Monday I was in Tartu and so I visited Beauty Pro shop to purchase some new nail polishes. This time I purchased some China Glaze nail polishes from there. I would have bought more, but on the last moment I decided not be so greedy :P


 So first of all I needed a new base coat, because my SpaRitual Protein Boost Nail Fortifier is almost empty. I decided to try China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat. 

L-R: I´m With The Lifeguard; Pink Voltage (mini); Blonde Bombshell 

From China Glaze Prismatic collection: Liquid Crystal and Ray-Diant 

L-R: Far Out; Drive In; Gold Digger

I also won some L´Oreal Color Riche nail polishes:
L-R: 617 You Are Worth It; 202 Marie Antoinette; 213 Sassy Pink; 618 Santorini Lagoon

Esmaspäeval viibisin Tartus ja kõige muuhulgas külastasin ka Beauty Pro kauplust, et osta mõned uued küünelakid. Seekord ostsin siis mõned China Glaze lakid, kuigi jah ma oleks neid sealt veelrohkem ostnud, aga otsustasin ikka mitte liiga ahneks minna :P Kõik need China Glaze´i tooted läksid mulle kokku maksma 27.30€. Pole paha....vist :P

Lisaks võitsin Facebooki mänguga ka 4 L´Oreal Color Riche küünelakki :)

    iHerb.com weekly specials

    iHerb.com offers extra 20% off from entire line of Madre Labs and Natrol products. You will see the discount in your shopping bag at the checkout.
    This offer is valid until Wednesday, July 4th 10 a.m PST

    About my experience with Madre Labs hair and body care products you can find HERE. I have also used Natrol Biotin Capsules. After using them my nails didn´t break so easily and my hair became much prettier. So I definitely advise you to try these capsules when you have problems with hair and nails. 

    If you haven´t ordered from iHerb.com before then use code ROH837  at the checkout to get extra $5 off from your order.


    iHerb.com pakub lisa 20% soodustust kõigile Madre Labs´i ja Natroli toodetele kuni kolmapäeva, 4.juulini. Soodustus on nähtav ostukorvis kui hakkad tellimust tegema. 

    Ise olen ma kasutanud mõlema firma tooteid. Minu kogemustest Madre labsi juukse-ja kehahooldustoodetega saad lugeda SIIT. Olen kasutanud ka Natroli Biotiini kapsleid kui mureks olid kergesti murduvad küüned ja juuksed kippusid liiga palju välja langema. Peale biotiini kapslite võtmist küüned enam ei murdunud nii palju ja ka juuksed muutusid palju ilusamaks. Neid konkreetiseid 600mcg kapsleid võib ka Eestisse tellida. 

    Kui sa ei ole varem Iherb.com´st tellinud, siis koodiga ROH837 saad oma esimeselt tellimuselt säästa 5$. 

    Glambox June 2012

    Glambox is an Estonian monthly subscription sample box that you will receive every month (just like Glossybox, Birchbox, Beauty Army etc) It costs 7.99€ per month. Every month you will receive 5-8 products to try. Some of them are samples, travel size products and there is sometimes one full size product, too. 
    Overall I am not very happy my Glambox this time. I hope next month it will be better.
    So here are the items I received. 


    Jõudsin ka lõpuks siis oma juunikuise Glamboxi sisu postitamiseni. Pean kohe ära mainima, et seekordne Glambox valmistas mulle väikese pettumuse. Ma ei teagi miks, aga ei olnud midagi sellist väga erilist seekord. 
    Aga igatahes siin siis asjad mis ma seekord sain. Kõigepealt ilutooted ja siis muud asjad.



    Himalaya Herbals Nourishing Skin Cream sample. 
    Himalaya Herbals toitev universaalkreem (tester)


    Himalaya Herbals Natural Protein Shampoo sample
    Himalaya Herbals seebivaba proteiinidega šampoon (tester)

    L`occitane Amande Shower Oil (travel size)
    L´occitane luksuslik dušiõli (reisisuurus)

    Caribbean Breeze Aloe Burn Relief (travel size)
    Caribbean Breeze aaloega geel päikesepõletuse või putukahammustuste leevendamiseks (reisisuurus)

    Batiste Dry Shampoo (50ml)
    Batiste kuivšampoon (50ml)

    Institut Arnaud Facial Care Ritual Gentle Facial Exfoliating Gel (sample)
    Institut Arnaud õrn näokoorimisgeel (tester)

    Dr. Scheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Moisturizing Care (sample)
    Dr.Schelleri niisutav kreem (näidis)

    A coupon - when you spend €15 at L´occitane shop then with this coupon you will get a free Hand Cream 
    Voucher - kui ostad rohkem kui 15€ eest L´occitane kauplusest Viru Keskuses, siis saad tasuta kätekreemi

    A pay as you go sim card with 1€ preloaded.
    This is something totally useless to me. I am very happy with my current mobile service provider and so this is something I won´t be using.

    Super kõnekaardi stardikas
    Hmm minu jaoks täiesti kasutu asi. Olen väga rahul oma praeguse mobiilside firmaga ja seda stardikat 
    kindlasti kasutama ei hakka

    and as always - a chocolate :P
    jaa nagu alati ka üks väike šokolaad

     So what are your thoughts about this month´s Glambox? 

    Mida teie juunikuisest Glambox´st arvate?

    EcoTools Bamboo Eye Brush Set

    I received this Ecotools Bamboo Eye Brush Set as a gift from iHerb.com 9 months ago. I have been using these brushes ever since I received them and since I LOVE these then I just had to write a short review about them! (*Even though I received these as a gift I am not asked to review these and I am not getting paid  for the review. All opinions here are 100% honest and belong to me!)

    EcoToolsi pinstlite komplekti sain ma iHerb.com´st kingiks juba üheksa kuud tagasi. Ma olen neid pintsleid kasutanud igapäevaselt silmameigi tegemiseks ja kuna ma neid tõsiselt armastan, siis ma lihtsalt pidin tegema nendest väikese postituse. (*Ma sain need pintslid kingiks, aga mul ei ole palutud neist ülevaadet kirjutada ja mulle ei maksta selle postituse eest. Kõik arvamused siin on 100% ausad ja kuuluvad mulle)
    These brushes come in natural cotton and hemp case with mirror. It is really easy to store these in this case and take them with you where ever you go. 


    Need pintslid on naturaalsest puuvillast ja kanepist ümbrises, milles on ka peegel. Pintsleid on selles kotikeses hea hoida ja kaasa võtta kuhu iganes sa lähed. 
    EcoTools brushes are made of natural and recycled materials and they are cruelty free. The handles of these brushes are made of bamboo. They have soft taklon bristles and recycled aluminum ferrules. 
    The handles of the brushes are labelled (blend, smudge, crease etc) and so these are especially good if you are beginner at using  makeup brushes. 


    EcoTools pintslid on tehtud naturaalsetest ja ümbertöödeldud materjalidest ja nad on julmuse vabad. Pintslite käepidemed on tehtud bambusest. Pintslitel on pehmed taklonist harjased ja ümbertöödeldud alumiiniumist kaitserõngad. Pintslitel on kirjas milleks nad on mõeldud ja see on eriti hea kui oled pintslite kasutamses alles algaja. 

    Blending brush:
    This is the largest brush in the set. I use it for blending eye shadows. You can also use it for applying eyeshadows, but for me this brush seems little bit too big for that.


    See on komplekti kõige suurem pintsel. Mina kasutan seda lauvärvide hajutamiseks. Seda saab kasutada ka lauvärvide peale kandmiseks, aga minu jaoks on see selleks liiga suur. 

    Crease brush:
    As said on the label I use it for applying darker eyeshadow in the crease and also in the outer corner.


    Mina kasutan seda pintslit tumedama lauvärvi kandmiseks lauvolti ja välis nurka. 

    Highlight brush:
    Nice and fluffy brush. I use it for applying applying eyeshadows on browbone and sometimes in the inner corner. 


    Mõnus kohev pintsel, millega kannan heledat highlight tooni kulmuluule ja vahel ka silma sisenurka.

    Smudge brush:
    This brush is bit too soft for smudging eyeliner or eyeshadows along the lash line. I use it for applying eyesadows in inner corner of the eye and on the lower lash line.


    Minu arvates on see pintsel veidi liiga pehme selleks et hajutada pliiatsi joont või lauvärve ripsmepiiril. Mina kasutan seda, et kanda heledat lauvärvi silmsisenurka ja vahel ka lauvärvi alumisele ripsmejoonele.

    Shading brush:
    I use it for applying eyeshadows on my eyelid. This brush would be perfect if it was just bit bigger, but I don´t complain, because this brush allows precise eyeshadow application.


    Mina kasutan seda pintslit lauvärvi laule kandmiseks. See pintsel oleks täiuslik kui ta oleks veidi suurem, aga ma ei kurda kuna sellega saab väga täpselt lauvärvi kanda sinna kuhu vaja.

    Likes and dislikes:
    - they are cruelty free and made of natural and recycled materials
    - these brushes are very durable. I use them all the time and wash them about once a week and these brushes still look as good as new and there hasn´t  been any shedding.
    - This set doesn´t cost much ($7.22 at iHerb)
    - labelled handles
    - brushes are in convenient travel case.

    What I don´t like:
    - the mirror in the case isn´t the best and I don´t like it.
    - Smudge brush is bit too soft

    Would I buy this set again?
    Of course! After good experience with this set I also want to try other brushes by EcoTools.



    If you haven´t ordered from iHerb.com before, then with code ROH837 you can get $5 off from your first order.

    Meeldimised ja mitte meeldimised
    Mis mulle meeldib:
    - pintslid on julmuse vabad ja tehtud naturaalsetest ja ümbertöödeldud materjalidest
    - väga vastupidavad pintslid. Ma kasutan neid kogu aeg ja pesen kord nädalas ning nad näevad ikka välja nagu uued ja nad ei ole hakanud ka karvu ajama
    - odava hinnaga (iHerb´st 7.22$) ja saadaval ka eestimaistes ökopoodides ja online poodides
    - markeeritud pintslite käepidemed
    - pintslid on mugavad kotikese


    Mis mulle ei meeldi:
    - kotikeses olev peegel on üsna kehv
    - hajutamispintsel (smudge brush) on veidi liiga pehme


    Kas ma ostaksin neid pintsleid uuesti?
     Kindlasti! Peale head kogemust Ecotools silmapintslitega tahan tulevikus kindlasti proovida ka nende teisi pintsleid.

    NOTD: butterflies

    For today´s mani I used nails printing modes from KKCenterHKThese come with different designs (butterflies, bows, flowers etc).














    I liked that these printing modes come with easy to understand instructions and they are easy to use. 
    Just be careful when when you stick them to the pillow of your finger to reduce the intentsity of the glue, and also when you remove it from your nail, because they might break and then it is difficult to remove it from your nail. Overall I think this is a great product with good price ($2.67) and I would recommend you to try these. 

    KKCenterHK offers a unique coupon code for my lovely readers.
    This coupon code gives you 10% off your order and is valid until January, 31st 2013.
    and the coupon code: eisaamitte


    And here is my mani created using these:
    I first applied to coats of Maybelline miniColorama nail polish in Marshmallow. For the butterflies I used OPI DS nail polish in Reflection. Since the mani seemed bit boring to me then I added little yellow dots using dotting tools. In sunshine the mani looked really cute, but unfortunately there just wasn´t no sun when I took the photos :(
    What I used:
    - SpaRitual Protein Boost Nail Fortifier as a base coat
    - Maybelline miniColorama nail polish in Marshmallow
    - OPI DS nail polish in Reflection
    - Maybelline minColorama nail polish in Urban Lemon
    - dotting tools
    - Poshe Top Coat

    * This product was sent for me for review. All my opinions about itare my own and I am not paid to review it!
