I used nail art striping tape and added two coats on e.l.f. nail polish in Metal Madness and finished with one coat of Poshe Top Coat. When I was doing my nails Jessie J´s song Laserlight was coming on TV and so thats what the mani reminded me - laser lights!

Glambox July 2012

Glambox is Estonian monthly subscription box (€7.99 per month) and in July in my Glambox were these items....

Glambox on igakuine kinkekarp 5-8 ilutootega. Juulikuises Glamboxis olid seekord siis sellised tooted....

Framesi Morphosis Total Control Anti grease shampoo sample. Since I don´t have problems with greasy hair and scalp, then I won´t be using this sample.

Framesi Morphosis Total Control šampooni rasusele peanahale tester. Kuna minul rasuste juuste ja peanahaga probleeme pole, siis seda testrit ma ei kasuta. 

Rich Pure Luxury Intense Moisture Shampoo (80ml). This shampoo is GOOD and so it is nice to get another one to use :P

Rich Pure Luxury Intensiivselt niisutav ja taastav šampoon (80ml). See šampoon on HEA ja seega oli meeldiv enda Glambox´st see jälle leida :P

GloMinerals lip gloss sample in Coconut. I haven´t tried it, yet, but on swatch it looked very pretty.

GloMinerals Coconut huuleläike tester. Ma ei ole seda veel kasutanud, aga käele tooni proovides tundus see küll hästi kena.

 Pinky Lip Smacker in Berry Strawberry Pink. I have tried it couple of times and it seems nice, but nothing special. I´ll do review about it when I have used it more. 

Pinky Lip Smacker hügieeniline huulepalsam. Olen seda mõned korrad proovinud ja tundub normaalne, aga ei midagi erilist. Teen sellest pikema ülevaate siis kui olen seda rohkem kasutada jõudnud.

Catrice Colour&Care Lipstick in Hot Cinnamon. Well the shade of this lipstick seems not very suitable for me, but we´ll see. 

Catrice Color&Care huulepulk toonis Hot Cinnamon. Huulepulgatoon ei tundu päris minu värv küll olevat, aga eks näis.

Institut Arnaud Youthful Radiance Eye Contour Care samples (2x) and Youthful Radiance Day Cream samples (2x). I have been using these samples about a week now and so far impressions are good. 

Institut Arnaud Youthful Radiance silmakreem ja päevakreem (kumbagi testrit on 2). Olen neid nädalajagu juba katsetanud ja seni on muljed head.

Himalaya Skin Smoothing Body Lotion samples (2x). Haven´t tried these, yet, but I hope they are good.

Himalaya pehmendava kehakreemi testrid (2x). Pole neid veel proovida jõudnud, aga loodan, et need on head.

Gatineau Melatogenine Eye Contour Cream sample. I can´t wait to try this sample, because I have heard good things about Gatineau products.

Gatineau Melatogenine silmakreemi tester. Ma ei jõua ära oodata kuna selle proovimiseni jõuan, kuna olen Gatineau toodete kohta palju head kuulnud.

Himalaya Gentle Exfoliating Daily Face Wash (travel size).

Himalaya õrnalt kooriv näopesu geel igapäevaseks kasutamiseks (reisisuurus).

Overall I am very happy with this months Glambox and I am thinking about ordering next Glambox also. I was very happy to find that this time there was 2 full sized products in my box and also there was more samples of the same product. 

Kokkuvõttes olen juulikuise Glambox´iga rahul ja kaalun juba ka augustikuise karbi tellimist. Seekord oli väga meeldiv leida lausa 2 täissuuruses toodet enda karbist ja samuti oli hea see, et ühe ja sama toote testreid  oli mitu. 

Have you tried any of these products? 

Kas oled mõnda nendest toodetest juba kasutanud?

Review: Anatomicals Rose and Jasmine Body Cleanser

I ordered Anatomicals Rose and Jasmine Body Cleanser in May from ASOS along with some other items. I have been using it for two months.

Anatomicals´s duši geeli tellisin ma ASOS´st mais koos paari teise asjaga. Olen seda nüüdseks kasutanud kaks kuud.

Ingredients:

Anatomicals Rose and Jasmin Body Cleanser has light pink color and nice rose scent, which reminds me of Crete and some local candies/sweets that we bought from there. The scent disappears from skin quite quickly. 

Anatomicals roosi ja jasmiiniga dušigeelil on õrn roosa värv ja mõnus roosi lõhn, mis meenutab mulle Kreetat ja sealseid kohalikke komme/maiustusi, mida sealt ostetud sai. Lõhn kaob nahalt aga siiski üsna ruttu.

This shower gel lathers nicely and doesn´t make my skin dry (of course I am not sure how it will work in winter time when my skin is drier, because this body cleanser doesn´t feel very moisturising).

Dušigeel vahutab hästi ja ei muuda mu nahka kuivaks (muidugi ma pole kindel kuidas tulemus talvisel ajal on, kuna siis on mu nahk kuivem ja see dušigeel ei tundu just väga niisutav).

Likes & dislikes

What I like about it:

- nice rose scent

- lathers well

- cleanses my skin nicely

- doesn´t make my skin dry

- very convenient packaging. I like that this bottle is boxy not round and that it has a pump.

- Anatmocials products range is free from DEA´s, Sulphates, Parabens and SLS´s.

What I don´t like:

- it doesn´t feel very moisturising.

Would I purchase it again?

Maybe. It is great for everyday use and I love its rose&jasmine scent that reminds me of Crete :P

Have you tried Anatomicals Rose and Jasmine Body Cleanser or any other products from their range?

Meeldimised ja mitte meeldimised

Mis mulle meeldib:

- mõnus roosi lõhn

- vahutab hästi

- teeb naha puhtaks

- ei muuda mu nahka kuivaks

- mugav pakend. Mulle meeldib, et Anatomicals´i duši geeli pakend on kandiline ja et sellel on pump.

- Anatomical´si tooted on DEA, sulfaatide, parabeenide ja SLS vabad.

Mis mulle ei meeldi:

- ei tundu eriti niisutav

Kas ma ostaksin seda veel?

Võibolla. See on mõnus toode igapäevaseks kasutamiseks ja mulle väga meeldib selle roosi&jasmiini lõhn, mis meenutab mulle Kreetat :P

Kas sa oled kasutanud Anatomicals´i roosi ja jasmiiniga dušigeeli või muid tooteid nendelt?

Comparison post: OPI vs L´Oreal Color Riche

Here is something suitable for Pink Wednesday :)

This time it is a comparison post. When I received L´Oreal Color Riche nail polish in Sassy Pink then I noticed that it reminded me of a polish I already had - OPI That´s Hot! Pink.

L-R: OPI That´s Hot! Pink; L´Oreal Color Riche Sassy Pink

 For these swatches I used 1 coat of nail polish

For these swatches I used 2 coats of nail polish

In my opinion they are very very similar. Their formula, finish and drying time is similar and also the shade of pink.  

So what do you think are they dupes or not?

Question Wednesday- Colors!

Time for anothet Questions Wednesday! This time the questions are color related.

1} What is your favorite color? How about your least favorite?
My favorite color for a long time has been turquoise blue. I just love it :D My least favorite.... well there really isn´t a color that I hate, but I guess it would be somekind of ugly or muddy green or brown probably.

2} What is your favorite color in a lip product?

Definitely ligther pink tones and nudes. They are so easy to wear for everyday looks and they go with almost everything

3} What is your favorite color for eyeshadow?

Lately I have started to love pinks :S Strange - I know! I also love love love champange shades and golden eyeshadows.

4} What was your favorite color as a child?

I can´t really remember, but I think it might have been red or yellow. 

5} What is your favorite color combination?

I love black combined with something bright. For example black&bright pink, black&yellow, black&bright orange, black&gold etc. :D

Questions Wednesday is now hosted by aly7 from Wonderland Beauty. So click on her blog and see what other bloggers answered!
