The worst beauty products I used in 2011

Image
I have mentioned some of my this years favourite products HERE , but now I would also like to share the products that I didn´t like. Oriflame Waterproof Eye makeup Remover (the old version) I did a short review about it here, but it is in Estonian only. I really hated this eye makeup remover. It  hurt my eyes and  left my face greasy. Very bad product. (The good news is that they improved its formula and now its much better) Nivea Visage Makeup Remover i haven´t reviewed this in my blog and I won´t either, but I totally hate this. It doesn´t remove anything and it is not gentle - it made my eyes itchy and red and so this is the worst eye makeup remover I have ever used! e.l.f. nail polish in white I reviewed this nail polish HERE . In that post I wasn´t very critical, but now I have used this nail polish more ( HERE  and  HERE ) and I don´t like it. I have to apply at least 3 coats for opacity and it dries forever. This is one of those nail polishes that I would not pur...

GlassesUSA

Image
I am one of those lucky girls who doesnt´have to wear glasses, YET, but my uncle has worn eyeglasses since the age of 10 and about 12 years ago my mom also had to start wearing them. So I know that eyeglasses aren´t cheap, especially if you want high quality frames and lenses. There are many different stores and online stores, but the prices are quite high everywhere.  Anyway couple of days ago I came across with GlassesUSA They sell eyeglasses online. From that website you can find prescription eyeglasses for both men and women and also prescription sunglasses. They offer high quality frames and lenses.  They also  offer lowest price guarantee and a satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program. Also great about GlassesUSA is that they ship worldwide, so you can buy glasses no matter where you are located. They offer wide selection of frames from retro to designer so it is quite difficult to decide what to order.  I have visited some similar sites , but w...

NOTD: Water Marbling

Image
I tried water marbling again and this time I had a better day :) I used Barry M nail polishes and they worked very well for water marbling.  What I used: - SpaRitual Protein Boost Nail Fortifier - Nail Paint by Barry M in Bright Red - Nail Paint by Barry M in Lemon Ice-Cream - China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

Belated Christmas Present

Image
Just a quick post.... Yesterday I received a little belated Christmas gift. I got Yves Rocher shower gel and  liquid hand soap. I have never used any products by Yves Rocher and so I was actually very happy to receive them.  Lihtsalt üks kiire postitus. Eile sain nimelt ühe hilise jõulukingi, milleks olid Yves Rocher dušigeel ja vedelseep. Ma ei ole kunagi Yves Rocher asju kasutanud ja seega olen väga rõõmus, et saan midagi ka sellest firmalt nüüd ära katsetada :P

NOTD: Black & White

Image
I actually wanted to do a water marbeling, but since yesterday was one of those days when water marbeling just didn´t want to come out the way I wanted, then I decided to do a simple mani with nail art stickers. I used e.l.f.nail polish in white for this mani and I just don´t like this nail polish. It takes forever to dry and I have to apply at least 3 coats for opacity and even after that it doesn´t look very good.  What I used:  - SpaRitual Protein Boost Nail Fortifier - e.l.f. nail polish in White - Aden Cosmetics nail polish in Black -China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

Questions & Answers 1

Image
So this is the post I promised to do when I have more time. In this post I answer the questions you asked me when I had my Madre Labs Giveaway and there was possible to get an extra entry when you asked a question. Since there was quite many questions then I make two posts.  Nii siis siin on lubatud küsimuste ja vastuste postitus, mille pidin tegema kui mul rohkem aega on. Küsimused on  pärit minu Madre Labsi loosimisest , kus lisa hääle sai kui küsisid minult küsimuse. Kuna küsimusi oli üsna palju siis ma teen kaks postitust kuna üks läheks liiga pikaks.  Q: When did you start blogging? A: I started blogging in February. I actually had thought about it many times before, but I wasn´t sure about what to write. First my blog wasn´t a beauty blog there was much random stuff then, but then more and more posts became beauty-related and so now this is a beauty blog :P K: Millal alustasid blogimisega? V: Blogimisega alustasin veebruaris. Tegelikult olin korduvalt mõelnud, et või...

Merry Christmas!

Image
Merry Christmas to all my lovely followers and readers!   Kauneid jõule kõigile minu kallitele followeridele ja lugejatele! picture via Pinterest In my wish list post  there was one wish which was a new camera. And so on Thursday evening I went to Rocca al Mare Euronics and bought a new camera. This was a hard decision because until the end I wasn´t sure whether to get a new compact camera or a digital SLR camera. After trying different cameras I decided to buy......   Minu kingisoovinimekirja postituses oli üks minu kingisoovidest uus fotoaparaat. Ja neljapäeva õhtul käisingi Rocca al Mare Euronicsis ja ostsine endale uue kaamera. Valik oli raske ja kuni lõpuni polnud ma kindel kas osta uus kompakt kaamera või digipeegel. Peale erinevate fotokate proovimist otsustasin osta .....   So this is my new camera. All day yesterday I was taking photos of totally pointless things just to try out the camera and at the moment I totally love it!   Niisiis see on minu uus f...

The Christmas Tag

Image
I found this Christmas tag from:  http://beckysmakeup.blogspot.com/  and since it seemed fun to do then I decided to do it also.    Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? I have never tried Egg Nog and so I definitely prefer Hot Chocolate   Coloured lights on tree/house or white? We are using coloured lights on our tree.    Do you hang mistletoe? No. Hanging a mistletoe is something we don't do here in Estonia   When do you put your decorations up? When I get this special Christmas feeling or in the end of November :P   What is your favourite holiday dish? Christmas wouldn´t be perfect without black pudding aka blood pudding aka blood sausage   Favourite Holiday memory as a child?   I have sweet memories of all my holidays as a child and so there is very hard to point out a favourite one.   When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I don´t remember how old I was or how did I find the truth about the Santa. Its like I suddenly just knew it .    Do you ope...

NOTD: snowflake mani vol 2

Image

Cutrin Bio+ Energen Shampoo

Image
I bought Cutrin Bio+ Energen Shampoo in October from Stockmann. It was there on sale and cost €6.50. This shampoo is also available on mylook.ee . I bought this shampoo because I had problems with my hair - suddenly I had problems with hair loss and I just didn´t know what to do. I knew that this shampoo had helped me three years ago and so I tried it again. So my opinion from year 2008: What I liked about it: - my hair stayed clean longer and this shampoo added volume to my hair - hair loss stopped - it didn´t irritate my scalp and I don´t remember anything that I wouldn´t have liked  Information from the packaging.  Ingredients   My opinion 2011 I started using this shampoo in the end of October and after using it over a month here is what I liked about it : - mild scent and lathers well - makes my hair nicely clean without making them dry - it slowed down hair loss, BUT I cannot be sure if this shampoo was the reason for that, because I have been taking biotin ...

I have a pair of shoes that fitted perfectly when I bought them three years ago. But after some time of wearing them they became too big, started to cause blisters and it was very uncomfortable to wear them.

i went shopping

Image
Yes, yesterday I went shopping. I went to buy new clothes two wear to a Christmas party, but I ended up with only a top (not for Christmas party), facial wash and blackhead exfoliating wash. The problem yesterday was that it was one of those days when I try on many many different clothes, but I just don´t like anything or I just can´t make up my mind whether to buy or not to buy something :S Käisin eile shoppamas. Eesmärgiks oli leida uued riided kahele jõulupeole (riidekapp on pungil asju täis aga selga ikka midagi panna pole). Kahjuks ma midagi ei leidnudki :S Ehk siis eile oli üks neist päevadest kui ma käin mööda poode, proovin meeletus koguses erinevaid riideid ja mitte miski ei meeldi mulle või ei suuda ma otsustada kas osta või mitte osta ja lõpuks ei ostagi :S Igatahes nagu öeldud ma jõulupeole riideid ei saanudki aga Mark&Spencerist ja The Body Shopist paar asja ikka ära ostsin. From The Body Shop I bought Nutriganics Foaming Facial Wash and Tea Tree Blackhead Exf...
