Wishlist: Spring lip products

Although it's snowing outside I decided to blog about 3 new lip products of 2013 that have caught my eye. Not all of them are available in Estonia yet but I'll be definitely keeping my eye on the beauty counters for them to get here.

Kuigi väljas sajab alles lund, otsustasin mina kirjutada blogipostituse kolmest värskest huuletootest, mis on välismaistest videodest ja blogidest silma jäänud ja huvi pakkunud. Kahjuks ei ole kõik mainitud tooted veel Eesti kosmeetikalettidesse jõudnud, kuid hoian siiski silmad-kõrvad lahti.


1. Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids
LINK HERE
A collection of super bright lipsticks for the upcoming Spring/Summer season. Statement colours with amazingly vibrant colour pay-off. Available in 20 shades.
* Already available in Estonia but only in 4 shades according to Maybelline Estonia's Facebook page.

Kollektsioon eriti erksavärvilistest huulepulkadest lähenevaks kevad-suviseks hooajaks. Tõelised statement-toonid üli-hea pigmendiga. Saadaval 20-es toonis.
* Juba saadaval ka Eestis, kuid Maybelline Eesti Facebooki fänniliehe andmetel kõigest neljas toonis.



2. Maybelline ColorSensational Color Whisper
LINK HERE
20 adorable shades of lip butter which are impossible to pass up (not to mention the gorgeous packaging!). Supposedly similar to the Revlon Lip Butters that are a big hit in USA.
Unfortunately not available in Estonia yet.

20nes ilusas toonis huulepalsam, millest on võimatu mööda vaadata (rääkimata pilkupüüdvast pakendist!). Pidid olema väga sarnased Revloni Lip Butter'itega, mis on USAs suureks hitiks.
Eestis hetkel kahjuks müügil neid ei ole.



3. L'Oréal Paris Colour Caresse Wet Shine Stain
LINK HERE
A lipgloss/lip stain which is available in 12 different shades. Packaging looks absolutely fabulous and reminds me a lot of YSL. About the product... I've heard the darker colours are a lot more long-lasting than the lighter/nude ones but I still can't wait to try them out.
Not available in Estonia yet.

Tegu peaks siis olema kauapüsiva huuleläikega, mille valikus on saadaval 12 värvitooni. Pakend näeb välja väga glamuurne ja meenutab kahtlemata Yves Saint Laurent'i tooteid. Läigetest ise olen kuulnud nii palju, et tumedamad ja erksamad toonid on kõvasti kauapüsivamad kui heledamad toonid, kuid vaatamata sellele, kavatsen nad ikkagi järgi proovida.
Eestis veel saadaval ei ole.


Have you ever heard of there products? Tried them? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

On keegi veel kuulnud nendest toodetest või isegi proovinud neid? Huvitaks väga teie arvamused :)

Review: Manhattan Water Flash lipgloss

I (finally..) decided to write a review on one of my favourite lipglosses - Manhattan Water Flash lipgloss which I have in the colour 56C. It's my second tube already and it has been a part of my daily makeup routine for quite some time now.
One of the main reasons I even decided to purchase it was that it has no glitter or shimmer in it. I needed a simple gloss to use on daily basis and in Ideaal Kosmeetika (where I went to search for such a product) surprisingly weren't many of that kind.

What the package claims:
"The unique light gloss for a tempting wet-effect. Intensely moisturizing the lips."
And honestly - that's is exactly how I would describe the product myself too.

Pros:

* Reasonable price - I paid only 5€ for it (in Ideaal Kosmeetika)
* Light consistency - not sticky at all
* Leaves your lips very glossy and makes them visually more plumper
* Moisturizes thoroughly - perfect, if you love wearing matte lipsticks that tend to dry out your lips

* Subtle smell - reminds me of strawberry bubble gum but it's not overpowering and disappears in a few minutes
* Very light and compact pacaking - doesn't take up much room in your clutch or makeup bag like some other bulky lipgloss tubes

Cons:
* Somewhat sheer colour pay off (although I think this is also somewhat good as I can layer it over many different shades of lipstick)
* Not the best staying power - due to it's light consistency it doesn't stay on your lips for hours like the more stickier glosses

Conclusion: I would recommend this lipgloss for anyone who's looking for a intensely moisturizing gloss to wear on a daily basis. Very reasonable price & absolutely perfect over matte lipsticks! I rate it 9/10 and a must-have product for me.

Otsustasin (lõpuks...) kirjutada teile arvustuse oma ühe lemmiku huuleläike kohta - Manhattan Water Flash lipgloss, mida kasutan toonis 56C. Tegelikult ostsin ma selle omale juba teistkordselt ja tegu on asendamatu komponendiga mu igapäevases meigirutiinis.
Esmakordselt ostsin ma selle toote suvel, kuna vajasin hädasti huuleläiget, mis oleks läikiv, kuid mitte sädelusega. Ideaal Kosmeetikas veidi aga ringi vaadates selgus, et selliseid läikeid valikus kuigi palju ei olnudki. Manhattani kasuks langes kaalukauss parima värvivaliku tõttu ning olin just eelnevalt kuulnud mitmeid blogijaid kiitmas seda brändi (jah, langesin reklaamiohvriks.. :D)

Tuubil lubab kirjeldus kerge koostisega huuleläiget, mis intensiivselt huuli niisutades, jätab ahvatleva "märja efekti". Mina leian, et kirjeldus vastab absoluutselt tõele!

Plussid:
* Mõistlik hind - mina maksin kõigest 5€ selle eest (Ideaal Kosmeetikas)
* Kerge koostis - väga mõnusalt vedel ja mitte üldse kleepuv
* Jätab huultele väga intensiivse läike ja muudab neid ka visuaalselt lopsakamaks
* Äärmiselt niisutav - ideaalne, kui armastad kanda matte huulepulkasid, mis kipuvad huuli väga kuivaks tegema
* Tagasihoidlik lõhn - meenutab veidi maasikanätsu, kuid ei ole liiga tugev ja haihtub mõne minutiga
* Väike ja kompaktne tuub - ei võta palju ruumi ja mahub ideaalselt ka näiteks clutch'i

Miinused:
* Võrdlemisi nõrk pigmentatsioon (kuigi seda iseenesest saab ka plussiks lugeda, kuna huuleläiget on võimalik kanda väga paljude erinevat tooni huulepulkade peale)
* Kerge koostise tõttu ei püsi peal nii kaua (võrreldes nt kleepuvate huuleläigetega)

Kokkuvõtteks: Soovitaksin seda huuleläiget igaühele, kes otsib üli-niisutavat huuleläiget igapäevaseks kasutamiseks. Toote hind on mõistlik ning sobib ideaalselt kandmiseks mattide huulepulkade peal. Minult saab läige hindeks 9/10 ja kahtlemata on tegu minujaoks ühe must-have tootega.

Quick haul - 25.01.2012

I just got back from Selver and this is what I bought:

Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Waterproof mascara - 6.99€
Nivea Pure Effect Wash Off face cleansing gel - 3.45€

I actually went out to buy my usual Garnier face wash (which I have used for ages) but when I saw the Nivea one on sale I thought to myself why not give it a try. Falsies' mascara I purchaced just to try it and see what the hype is all about. And let's face it - it's pretty convenient to use a waterproof mascara in the wintertime as it's constantly snowing (or raining). I have never used neither of these products before so I'm very excited to try them out!

----------

Jõudsin just Selverist tagasi ja sellised on mu seekordsed ostud.

Tegelikult oli mul plaanis soetada omale uus Garnier'i näopesu kreem, mida ma juba pikemat aega kasutanud olen, aga nähes Nivea geeli allahinnatuna, mõtlesin et miks mitte siis seda juba proovida. Falsies ripsmetuši ostsin põhiliselt ainult selleks, et see ise kaa lõpuks ära proovida ja näha, kas see on kõike seda kiitust väärt, mida ma igaltpoolt kuulnud ja lugenud olen. Ning olgem ausad - veekindel ripsmetušš tuleb praegustes ilmastikuoludes ainult kasuks. Ma pole kumbagi toodet varem kasutanud seega olen päris põnevil, et saan neid lõpuks proovida!

Smoked out

Smoky eyemakeup adds a hint of mystery to every woman's look so I decided to do a quick inspirational post on it.

I know it's very hot outside right now and wearing such makeup in the daytime would be a torture but you can't go wrong with a smoky eye in the nighttime - that's for sure! This time I picked out looks that are more on the neutral side so expect nothing crazy.

Lumene Natural Code Mascara review

I bought my Lumene Natural Code Eye Dramatizer Volume-Maximizing Mascara almost a month ago now and I've been using it pretty much every day. It cost around 5-6€ and it was on sale so I spontaneously decided to give it a try. I mean the name of it sounds promising, right? At least that's what I thought..
On the tube it says:

Impressive volume with Fluffy Brush.
Conditioned lashes with natural arctic plantain.
Paraben-free.

 What's good about this mascara:
- gives a nice deep black colour
- good quality fluffy brush
- doesn't clump


What's bad about this mascara:
- doesn't give enough volume and length (at least for my liking)
- smudges during the day
- smudges really bad when in contact with water (rain, tears..)

It wasn't an expensive product so I don't regret buying it money wise but honestly I'm pretty disappointed in this mascara. I really wanted it to work. Especially as it's supposed to be paraben-free and condition my lashes. It may be good for my lashes but that's about it because it didn't do what I expected it to - lengthen and/or volumize them. I'm probably going to use up this tube but never re-purchase it again.
I give it 2/5 Glitter-stars.
