Received some packages :P

Sorry for not posting almost a week. Those who follow me on Twitter or like my FB page now that I haven´t been feeling very well lately and so I hope when I get better I will be posting again more often. Anyway this week I got some parcels.    First I ordered new stamper and scraper from eBay, because the scraper I own at the moment (from Born Pretty) isn´t working that well and I hope this one is better. Then from iHerb I ordered Aubrey Organics Organic Lip Balm and Jojoba Meal & Oatmeal with Rosa Mosqueta Mask&Scrub for Dry skin. I made the order when iHerb offered Aubrey Organics products at an extra 10% off. This offer has now ended, but if you haven´t ordered from iHerb.com before then you can get an extra 5$ off when you use code ROH837   And I also used Sigma 10% off coupon code and ordered Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki F80. I haven´t used it, yet, but it is so soft and nice and I just can´t wait using it.  There is still time until January, 31st to use coupon c...

I went shopping....

Image
I actually planned to do another post today, but since we decided to go to movies to see Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and then do some shopping then I just didn´t have time for that. Anyway I didn´t buy much just two new belts and one nail polish.    The skinny belt. The only reason I bought this was the lock and key detail. It just looked so cool. (€6.95)  The second belt. And again it is all about the details. I just love the little bunnies on this belt. (€4.95) And a nail polish. I need new white nail polish and I decided to try OPI Alpine Snow (it can´t be worse than the e.l.f. white nail polish :P) (€10.02)

Fresh Look Rebalance Cream-Gel For Normal Skin

Image
I bought Fresh-Look Rebalance Cream-Gel in the end of November from Tallinna Kaubamaja and so I have used it for 1,5 months both morning and evening. I usually go to store and I know exactly what to get. This time I didn´t know and this cream was actually recommended to me by the salesperson. And I am happy that she did recommend this to me because this is a good cream.  What they say about this cream on Fresh Look website: Rebalance is a tender cream-gel suitable for all skin types, even the most delicate. Its soft rich texture refreshes and hydrates the skin without leaving an oily after-feel. Rebalance is free of traditional surfactants and is ideal for soothing the skin, especially after exposure to the sun or harsh weather. Contains natural Sesame oil and fluid Jojoba wax; a wealth of oil-soluble Vitamins ( E, A and essential fatty acids) as antioxidants; Vitamin B5 and the nutrient-rich Seabuckthorn fruit extract to enhance skin softness and protection. Directions: Smooth ge...

e.l.f. Tinted Moisturiser SPF20 in Porcelain

Image
I have used e.l.f. Tinted Moisturiser SPF20 over a month and I love it! When I ordered it then I was scared that the shade of it will be wrong again (as was with the BWC Tinted moisturiser ), but fortunately the shade Porcelain suits me well in the winter time (for summer this probably will be too light). What e.l.f. says about it: This lightweight and hydrating formula is breathable and provides anti-aging sun protection with UVA/UVB SPF 20. Achieve even skin tone and naturally radiant skin with this moisturizing sheer tint of color. The smooth formula enhances your complexion with the nourishing key ingredients Aloe, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E Directions To use just apply to clean skin in an upward and outward motion with a makeup sponge or foundation brush to achieve a flawless look. Ingredients: ACTIVE: Benzophenone-3, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide. INACTIVE: Water, Mineral Oil, Cyclomethicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Propylene Glycol, Dimethicone, S...
