Minu OrganiCup kogemus | My experience with OrganiCup

Image
Click here to read about my experience with OrganiCup in English! Kui pikka sissejuhatust lugeda ei viitsi, siis siirdu kohe lõigu "Mis on OrganiCup ja minu kogemused sellega" juurde ;) Eelmisel aasta lõpus vaatasin ma ETV2 dokumentaali "Mürgine ilu", kus oli teemaks, milliseid mürgiseid aineid sisaldavad paljud ilu-ja kehahooldustooted, mida meist paljud igapäevaselt kasutavad. Filmist jäi mulle kõlama see, et ilutoodetele ei kehtigi nii ranged nõuded ja reeglid kui võiks arvata ja põhimõtteliselt loetakse ilutooted ohututeks kuniks pole tõestatud vastupidist. Ja see pani mu mõtlema, et tegelikult ei tea me ju ka täpselt kui ohutud/ohtlikud on tampoonid ja sidemed, mida meist paljud (sh mina ise) igas kuus teatud päevadel kasutame. Jah, tampoonid võivad põhjustada toksilise šoki sündroomi, ent lisaks sellele? On ju neidki töödeldud valmistamise käigus erinevate kemikaalidega, mis küll tibatillukeses koguses võivad olla ohutud aga aastast aastasse kasutades ena...

Month In Review: February 2021

Image
It's March! Yay! This means it is time for a little roundup of how my February went.  So let's start with my favourite part - the numbers! In February I posted 14 posts. That is seven less than in January and 11 more than a year ago. Of course, February was a bit shorter month, and so it could be a good excuse for fewer posts. But really I just had problems with time management and so I that's the reason for that.  Last month my blog received a bit fewer pageviews than in January (but again it was a shorter month) but about 45% more pageviews than a year ago.  When it comes to my earnings in February then unfortunately it was a very sad month and  so I only earned about 1/3 of what I made in January.  Top 10 posts  The most visited posts in February 2021 were: L’Oreal Preference 11.11 Ultra Light Crystal Blonde hair dye review ( read it here ) Essence HELLO, GOOD STUFF! products revire ( see the post here ) Little Black Dress & Pink Jacket and weekly link-up...

Yellow and green outfit for Spring & weekly link-up #213

Image
Hi, lovelies! How have you been! February has ended. The snow has almost melted. The sun is shining (okay, not every day but a lot more than before). And it feels like Spring. I really hope that there won't be any snow before October or November. Since the weather has been sunny lately then I wanted to put together an outfit that would be happy and bright and so here's my yellow and green outfit for Spring. Everything I used for this look is from my wardrobe so it's one of those shopping my closet looks. A few weeks ago I went through some plastic boxes where I keep clothes that I hardly ever wear. And I found some light cotton sweaters from one of the boxes. The yellow v-neck sweater just screamed "wear me" and so it was time to wear it again. I showed you this yellow v-neck sweater in 2015 paired with a pair of dark blue jeans and nude patent pumps . I purchased the yellow sweater 10+ years ago from Esprit. I used to wear it quite a lot when I worked at the...

Review: Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara

Image
Kliki siin, et Essence Maximum Definition ripsmeka arvustust eesti keeles lugeda *PR Sample Time for another Essence mascara review. I received Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara just before Christmas, and so you saw it featured in my Christmas Eve Makeup post. I have been using it almost daily now and so it's time to share with you my thoughts on it. Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara features an innovative and flexible fiber brush that reaches even the tiniest lashes in the corner of the eye. It helps to lengthen and shape the lashes from the root to the tip without leaving any clumps. The mascara comes in a red tube that holds 8ml of product. This mascara has a flexible fiber brush that makes mascara application easy. I like that the mascara wand helps to cover all my lashes from root to the tip while separating the lashes. The result looks beautiful and clump-free. Essence Maximum Definition Volume Mascara adds length and volume to my lashes. I like...

Blue, black and white outfit & weekly link-up #212

Image
This week, on the 24th of February, Estonia celebrates its Independence Day. The 24th of February is an important day for most Estonians. Usually, around that date, we have all kinds of events to celebrate the Independence Day - military parade, concerts, etc. However this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic most of the events are cancelled. The most important and most anticipated event usually is the President's reception and a gala concert that most of us can enjoy via television. Reception is loved by many because it is always interesting to see all those beautiful gowns and clothes worn by the guests. This year everyone can only enjoy our President's speech and concert via television and there's no reception. And people are asked to celebrate Estonia's 103rd birthday at home. We actually have usually celebrated it at home anyway and so it's not that different for our family. I usually bake a cake for the 24th of February - a cake that my family loves, make some...

Review: Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Split Ends Miracle Shampoo & Conditioner

Image
Kliki siin, et eesti keeles lugeda Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Split Ends Miracle šampoonist & palsamist Last year I reviewed L’Oreal Elvital Dream Length haircare products here on my blog. Those products were promised to help restore and protect split ends. My today's post is of rather similar products - Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Split Ends Miracle Shampoo & Conditioner. Split Ends Miracle products range is promised to even out structural differences from roots to ends and instantly repair damaged hair and split ends.  I have long hair. And it's dyed. And so products that save me from split ends and help to repair damaged hair are something I always want to try. That's why I ended up purchasing these Schwarzkopf products, especially since so far my experience with Schwarzkopf hair care has been good or very good. For example, I absolutely love Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Ultimate Repair Express Repair Conditioner Spray . I have purchased this leave-in spray several times a...

Avon Anew Platinum Night and Day creams with Protinol

Image
Kliki siin eesti keeles lugemiseks: Avon Anew Platinum Protinoliga pinguldav päevakreem SPF25 ja Anew Platinum Protinoliga taastav öökreem *PR sample A few months ago, I shared with you my thoughts on Avon Anew Skin Reset Plumping Shots and Anew Reversalist Day Perfecting Cream & Night Revitalising Cream . All  these three products contain Protinol - Avon's patented breakthrough technology. Protinol is clinically proven to restore both types of collagen found in healthy skin. It helps to mimic the perfect collagen ratio in the skin. Collagen makes up 80% of skin and is responsible for the quality, texture, and bounce in the skin. It's a complex protein and it is not easy to replace it once it's lost. There are two main types of collagen found in the skin - known as collagen 1 and collagen 3. Most topical skincare products only restore collagen 1. Thanks to Avon's Protinol technology, both types of collagen are restored. This means that Protinol helps to resto...
