January 2013 favorites

Image
In January I loved these products...... Keune Care Line Vital Nutrition Shampoo & Conditioner. I started using these travel size products 3 weeks ago and so far I absolutely love them.    LÓreal Elvital Total Repair Leave-in Conditioner . I have been using this since September and again. LOVE! It makes my hair easily manageable and doesn´t weigh hair down.  Dermosil Compact Powder in Deep. When I received this then the name Deep scared me a bit because I thought that maybe it is very dark, but actually it suits my light skin very well.   My favorite nail polishes in January were Models Own Peaches&Cream and Dermosil nail polish in Seashell. My new favorite brow product is Oriflame Beauty Brow Kit. I also liked MUA Gel Eyeliner in Underground and MUA Professional Eye Primer .  My favorite hand cream in January was Lavera Basis Sensitive Hand Cream . Too bad it is empty already :(  Which were your favorite products in January?

First impressions: Oriflame VeryMe Fat Lash Black Out mascara

Image
Yesterday I tried my new Oriflame VeryMe Fat Lash Black Out mascara for the very first time.  It gave my lashes nice length, but it smeared and it was almost impossible to separate the lashes after applying the mascara. But the good news is that it survived the snow-rain-sleet that was coming down yesterday :) So overall the first impressions ain´t very good, but we´ll see in 2-3 weeks if this mascara is good or not ;)   Eile proovisin siis esimest korda oma uut Oriflame´i VeryMe Fat Lash Black Out ripsmekat. See andis mu ripmsetele kenasti pikkust, aga ripsmete erladamine - läbikammimine pärast nende värvimist oli suht võimatu :S ning natuke ta ka määris kuni ta veel ripsmetel kuivanud ei olnud. Hea uudis on see, et vähemalt elas see edukalt üle eile taevast alla sadanud lume-vihma-lörtsi.  Niisiis kokkuvõttes esmamuljed pole just kõige paremad aga eks 2-3 nädala pärast ole näha kui hea või halb see ripsmekas on :)

NOTD: sweet&cute

Image
Hi! Today I wanted sweet, simple and delicate manicure and here is the result. Hope you´ll like it. I used three coats of Dermosil nail polish in Seashell and then stamped the bow design on my nails. For stamping I used stamping image plate m59 from Born Pretty Store and OPI Alpine Snow. Then I added Colorful Crystal Rhinestones SS10 from also Born Pretty Store. I finished the mani with INM OTD top coat.  

Review: MUA Makeup Academy Every Lash Mascara

Image
I ordered MUA Makeup Academy Every Lash Mascara in black in August after all the hype about, it being just amazing. So is it? What MUA says about this mascara: " ‘Every Lash’ is just £3 and it smells of apple!! Yummy! It adds glamour, length and volume to your eyelashes. ‘Every lash’ is available in three shades – Black, Black/Brown and waterproof. This is the perfect mascara to add length with the first application and glamorous volume with the second. And by using the waterproof shade we guarantee you long lasting full lashes without smearing. "   Sounds great, right?  Yes it does and so I ordered it. What I like about this mascara is of course the stylish packaging and the mascara wand. It really does separate every lash and there is no clumps or smearing. And yes, there is the apple scent also. I really don´t understand why should mascara smell like apples, but never mind. Oh and the price of this mascara is also affordable - just £3. What I did not notice about ...

Review: Johnson´s Baby Shampoo

Image
Hi! Today´s review is about actually my baby´s shampoo, but since I have tried it too (I didn´t want to use it on his hair before I had tried it on mine :P ) I actually used it about a month and it was much better than I had expected. Information & ingredients list from the packaging This shampoo has mild scent and it lathers well. After using this shampoo my hair felt very soft and it seemed that they even didn´t need any conditioner. It made my hair nicely clean and what surprised me was that they stayed clean much longer than with my other shampoos. Johnson´s Baby Shampoo also gave some volume to my hair and I didn´t even have to use a blow dryer for achieving the volume. There is just one thing I did not like about this product - the bottle lid. When your hands are wet then it is bit difficult to open the lid.  Johnson´s Baby Shampoo is promised to be as gentle to eyes as pure water. So was it? I actually tried to get this shampoo in my eyes to find out if there would...

NOTD: lazy

Image
Hi! I was lazy today and so here is my simple lazy manicure . I used 2 coats of Models Own Peaches & Cream and 1 coat of Models Own Pink Fizz. I finished my nails with INM OTD topcoat. What I used: - Orly Nailtrition as a basecoat - Models Own nail polish in Peaches & Cream - Models Own Pink Fizz - INM OTD topcoat

Review: Lavera Basis Sensitive Organic Hand Cream

Image
A good hand cream is a must have, especially in cold winter time and in my case when I have to change my baby´s diapers x times a day and wash my hands x*x times a day. I received Lavera Basis Sensitive Hand Cream in Adorebox. I have been using it daily for about 2 months and I love it! This cream is one of my beauty favorites of 2012. But before I tell you why I like it here is some information and ingredients list from the packaging. So Lavera Basis Sensitive Organic hand cream with organic almond & organic shea butter comes in 75ml plastic tube. It has nice creamy texture and delicate scent. What I absolutely loved about this hand cream is that it absorbs very quickly and it doesn´t leave my hands greasy. I like its delicate scent which makes using this hand cream pleasant. Since I don´t have extra dry skin then this hand cream is enough for moisturising my hands and making skin soft again. If your skin is very dry then this cream probably ain´t nourishing enough, but ...

Review: Dove Intense Repair hair mask

Image
Hi! I bought Dove Intense Repair Hair Mask in August and I used it about 2 months once a week. I had quite high expectations on this mask, but...... well read on. Information about it from www.dove.us: " This intensive treatment, with Fiber Actives, deeply repairs and replenishes damaged hair due to breakage from combing. It also helps restore damaged or missing proteins, boosting inner resistance, and uses patented MICROMOISTURE Serum to help smooth the hair’s cuticle and rebuild its protective coating."   Ingredients: Dove Intense Repair deep repair mask for damaged hair is nice and creamy. It is easy to apply this mask through towel dried hair, leave for 3-5 minutes and then rinse your hair. It has typical drugstore hair mask scent.  So as I mentioned I did have high expectations on this mask, but in my opinion it wasn´t anything special. It was totally average drugstore mask. It did make my hair more manageable an softer and added shine, but I didn´t notice any ...

NOTD: snowflakes falling

Image
Hi! Remember my manicure that I showed you on Tuesday?  That mani was perfect background for the stamping I planned to do.   I received this stamping image plate m59 from Born Pretty Store and I just had to use the snowflake  design from it. I am also planning to do my Valentine´s Day mani using this image plate ;)   So here is my mani :) For stamping I used OPI Alpine Snow. It ain´t the best polish for stamping, but it gets the job done :) About the image plate: M59 image plate costs $2.99. The diameter of this image plate is 5,5cm and there are 7 different cute designs on it. The quality of this stamping image plate is good and the images actually transfer very well.    To save 10% from your Born Pretty Store order use code BTL91. Born Pretty Store also offers free worldwide shipping :) *This image plate was sent for me for the review. All opinions here are my own and I am not getting paid to post this article.

Review: BWC Extra Gentle eye makeup remover

Image
Hi! Today I have another review for you :)   I ordered BWC Beauty Without Cruelty eye makeup remover from iHerb  where it costs $6.02. I have used it about 2-3 months and here is my opinion about it.   But first information and ingredients from the packaging    So as you can see this eye makeup remover sounds promising. But was it as good as said? I like that it doesn´t have scent and there really ain´t no oily residue after removing makeup. Also what I like about BWC makeup remover is that it takes off all my eye makeup easily and I don´t have to rub or anything - I just wet cotton pad and then wipe my lids and lashes with it. BUT there was one product that this makeup remover couldn´t remove - MUA Makeup Academy Gel Eyeliner in Underground. I don´t know why, but this eyeliner stayed on my lash line no matter how long I waited :S What I don´t like about this makeup remover is that when it gets in your eyes then it stings :S and also it tends to make my eye area unpleasa...

I made a small  iHerb order this morning.....     Can´t wait all this stuff to arrive :D

Hi! It is time for NOTD post . Today I was lazy and did just simple layering.  What I used? I first applied two coats of Funky Fingers Sound Check and then added one coat of Models Own Bluebelle. I finished my manicure with INM OTD top coat.

Sigma Best Selling products of 2012

This morning I received Sigma Beauty newsletter and there was this Top10 bestselling Sigma products. Since I like all kinds of Top10s then I just had to share it with you :) image from Sigma Beauty blog As you can see their most popular product is F80 Flat Kabuki and I am not surprised. I have it and I like it a lot!

On the third place is Limited Edition Paris Palette. This palette contains 8 eye shadows, 2 blushes, 1 highlight and also two brushes. The fourth bestseller is E25 blending brush. Next popular product is their patent pending Dry´n Shape. This product is great for completely drying and shaping your most dense brushes in 4-6 hours. This is definitely something I want to order when they have some free worldwide shipping event (shipping to Estonia ain´t the cheapest ...

Review: MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner

Image
Hi! Today I have another review for you :)  I have had this MUA Makeup Academy Extreme Felt Eyeliner Black since July. I ordered it from muastore.co.uk nd it costs £2 there. I have used it quite a lot and so it is time to share my thoughts about it. MUA says that: " This easy- to- use pen creates dramatic and powerful eyes- apply in one quick and easy swoop across upper and lower lash lines. For a feline effect, flick line up towards outer corners."   So does this eyeliner live up to its promises? MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner has very fine felt tip and so creating fine line is easy and achieving thicker line ain´t problem either. It has nice black (not dark grey or smth like that) color and it stays all day where it supposed to stay. It is easy to use, but I couldn´t get away with just one swoop across my lash line. To get nice black even result I had to swoop 3-4 times. What I liked about it was that it didn´t smudge or fade and it came off easily with regular makeup ...

Review: AnneMarie Borlind Anne Lind Strawberry Body Lotion

Image
Hi! Today I have a review for you and this time it is about AnneMarie Borlind Anne Lind Strawberry Body Lotion that I received in September´s Adorebox . I started using it when I got it and now it is unfortunately empty :( Why unfortunately? Because I loved it a lot during those cold days when my skin gets unpleasantly dry :S AnneMarie Borlind Anne Lind Strawberry Body Lotion is promised to be free from preservatives, synthetic colorants and mineral oils and silicones. It contains natural fragrances, pure vegetable oils and natural active ingredients. It has been produced according to the BDIH guidelines for natural cosmetics.  Anne Lind Body Lotion is nice and creamy. I was afraid at first that it won´t absorb well (I don´t even know why I thought that), but it actually sank in my skin quite fast. My skin was well moisturised and it didn´t leave any kind of greasy feeling.  It also had wonderful strawberry scent (not overpowering) which I absolutely loved!    So would I buy it...
