a poor man's "VENUS" palette


Hey peeps! Remember when I told you I wanted to buy the Venus palette from LC, but the recent incidents with the company have made me reconsider my options? I didn't wanna buy separate eyeshadows either, because a palette would be so much more convenient for me. I think I have now found a pretty good alternative for the palette.

So, I was at the Hair & Beauty 2015 expo a couple weeks back and walked past Grimas' booth and noticed they had some pretty nice looking eyeshadows there. Most of my eyeshadows for everyday use are from them and I think their quality-price ratio is really good. I decided to come back the next day and see if I could find dupes for all the colors in the Venus palette.

I saved pics of the original LC palette on my iPad and walked up to their booth, showed the pics I had on my iPad and their sales person helped me to pick colors that would be the best match. Here's my custom palette:



While doing some investigation the night before, I found out I already had colors that matched Icon and Creation, so I only had to buy 6 colors. The six colors cost me 20€ in total and the lady at the booth was so sweet and sent me some eyeshadow bases and caps via mail for free, so I could attach the other eyeshadow buttons I had to the palette!

Let's see how they look swatched:



I think 755 and 556 could definitely use some eyeshadow primer (which I don't have yet btw and I should buy one soon. I'm thinking about buying UDPP, is that good or would you recommend something even better?) but otherwise I'm pretty impressed!

I mostly wanted to get the Venus palette because of it's red shades, so the first look I did is pretty... red :--D I'm not really used to using "visible" eyeshadows, and have used neutrals and browns only for the past few years, so this takes some getting used to.



I don't really know what happened with the focus of this pic, but I think the red shades compliment my green eyes pretty nicely!



As you can probably tell, I'm still getting used to all the blending and fancy cut crease stuff... But I'll get there someday! I promise :D Close-ups like these make me feel so insecure about my nonexisting skills when it comes to makeup... boohoo.



Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the post! Maybe this was helpful for someone who was also looking to get their hands on the Venus palette :D Let me know what you think!

 .............................

Btw... I had the worst morning ever today, as I woke up to an awful sound coming from my laptop (yes, it was loud enough to wake me up at 7:00am), so I immediately shut it down. When I tried to restart it, nothing happened and after 10minutes of waiting, there was a a text on the screen that said "Operating System not found".

So... I guess my laptop had reached it's limit. The good thing is that I had most of my photos and music on my external hard drive so nothing super important was lost. Though there was some graphics stuff and other documents I wish I'll find a way to save, but yeah. I do not have a computer at the moment.

I have some ready blog posts waiting in my drafts, so this shouldn't affect my blogging schedule, but I can't promise anything 100%. We'll see how soon I'm able to get a new laptop. I hope your weekends have started better than mine :'D

My thoughts on Lime Crime

I hope you're not sick of me talking about Lime Crime yet. Altough, this one won't be a review but some thoughts I've had about the current incident with the personal information losses with those who purchased from their site and the about Lime Crime as a company in general.

Many of you have probably read this post, that was published earlier this week by a fellow Finnish blogger, Rose Shock. It's a very good post, so if you haven't, I suggest you go read it first. But I still felt like I had to put my two cents in.

I've always been an "I believe it when I see it" -kind of person (stupid? maybe), so even though I was aware of the rumors surrounding this company when I purchased from them, because none of my friends or none of the people I actually know, had had any problems with them, I saw no reason not to give them a try. (But I later found out that Malle, who ordered her black velvetine at the same time as I made my order, had experienced cracking with the product).

The products seemed great to me and that's how I decided to make an order (16th of Jan). The unicorn lipsticks and the velvetines I bought, were my first purchase and experience with them product and company wise.


3rd of Feb: I was anxious to get my stuff, because I hate waiting lol. The shipping was delayed with a week from the purchasing date because they had a huge number of orders to fullfil or what-so-ever. Turns out my order arrived two days after I complained about it...

Anyway, though the shipping took agonizing 3 weeks (which in my books is a long time), I was happy with the products (also, please keep in mind that my posts only reviewed the products themselves and not the company behind them).

Even if I was lucky and everything went pretty much as it should, some people weren't and have had serious problems with the company, having their credit card info stolen etc. Luckily I used PayPal and therefore was unaffected by it. The damage caused by the incident is not to something to be ignored and I feel so sorry for those who lost huge amounts of money and to whom it may have caused dramatic changes in their lives.

What bothers me, is I don't really know what Lime Crime is doing to fix the situation?? Except for changing their webshop platfrom and sending the letter below to their customers, but is it enough to regain a customer's trust?
 
Who is this Mark person anyway, I thought Doe was the president?
 
I also got the letter because I shopped at their store during the said period of time. I don't know what it would've said if I was affected though... Has any of you got their credit card info stolen? I hope not, but if so, I'd like to know what has happened after that.

These things are serious and it has definitely given me a good lesson to be careful when shopping online, because things like this might happen! I'm more than sure I'll continue paying with PayPal because I want to be safe.


Anyway, getting your money stolen is way more serious than my problems, but there's something that caught my attention and made me feel scammed and pissed. Wicked is the product I've used the most since recieving them and I just noticed something weird. Take a look:



I've honestly used it like 5 times and this is how much I have left!! I decided to check the site, but the info about the quantity of product in each tube is nowhere to be found. Next I checked the packaging and there's the TINIEST EVER print that says 2,6ml, which a normal person can't really even see without a magnifying glass. So, I've literally paid $20 for a few drops of lipstick PER PRODUCT. This is what makes me angry. For comparison, the liquid lipstick by Jeffree Star has 5,6ml for $18.

I decided to check the amount of product in the unicorn lippies too. 3,5g for $18. Okay, that sounds more reasonable, because for example MAC has 3g and NYX has 4,5g and a regular lipstick runs out much slower anyway.

BUT! While taking a closer look, I noticed something weird in these too. Take a look below:


Both have been applied twice, but I feel the amount of product is really uneven in these, and this is something I didn't even notice until now. I really doubt they're both 3,5g.


After all, I feel a bit disappointed with the company. I really liked the products, but I also know, there's a lot of people who will judge you if you show any kind of support towards them and I don't really know how I should feel about that. I don't want fingers pointing at me, calling me a bad person for purchasing a makeup product. I personally don't see anything wrong with it if you want to buy a lipstick that works and have a way to be safe when getting it (buying from other seller and/or using PayPal), even if it's kind of supporting the company.... idk. Many of you might feel differently about it. I still think the judging fingers should be pointing at Lime Crime, not the customer.

I've been drooling over LC's Venus palette for a long time, but haven't gotten my fingers on it yet, because it's constantly out of stock. And there's no way I'm paying 200€ for it in eBay. When finding out the amount of product in these lipsticks, I started thinking what if the Venus palette is also something you can use like five times and then run out? This is making me reconsider dupes for it because I know those exist, but I was kinda hoping to get a whole palette and not having to buy separate eyeshadows... I don't really know what I should do about it.


ANYWAY, long story short: stolen credit card infos and other problems suck, small amounts of product for expensive prices suck, people trying to guilt other customers who use their products also suck ass big time. I was happy about the quality of the products and no, I won't throw them out and I will keep on using them until they run out (which might be sooner than I'd like). Then I'll probably try out some other brand and hope it will be better.

latest makeup haul

Aattelin pitkästä aikaa päivittää vähän meikkipussin sisältöä tänne blogiin, etenkin nyt näiden uusien hankitojen osalta. En ookaan kirjotellu meikeistä pieneen ikuisuuteen ! Aika MAC painotteista on, mutta mukaan mahtui pari muutakin juttua joita haluun suositella.

I thought I could tell you a bit about my recent makeup purchases because I haven't done that in a loooong time ! Mostly MAC products but I have some other stuff I want to suggest also.

Maailman paras poskipuna, piste. Ostin mun ekan NARSin poskipunan (itseasiassa just samansävysenä) Nizzan reissulta syksyllä 2009. Siitä asti oon samaa väriä sutinut poskipäilleni ja tuote kesti päivittäisessä käytössä 3 VUOTTA ! Eli heivatkaa ne Rimmelit nyt roskiin ja ostakaa NARSia, NARS on paras. Jee.

Vaikka hinta onkin lähemmäs kolmekymppiä, se ei tunnu missään kun tietää, ettei uutta tartte hankkia pitkään aikaan. Pigmenttiäkin on sen verran reippaasti ettei tartte puolta rasiaa hinkata naamaan ennenku tulos näkyy.

Ostin omani HQhair.com'sta, koska NARSin omilla sivuilla postituskulut oli melko suolaset 21 euroa eli melkein tuotteen verran. Tuolta tilatessa postikuluihin meni ehkä euro.

Aijoo, jos joku miettii niin tuo hot pink sävy on nimeltään "Desire".

The best blush in the world. I bought my first NARS blush (actually in the same shade) from my trip to Nice in fall 2009. I've been using it everyday ever since and it lasted for 3 YEARS ! So throw away your Rimmel's and buy NARS, NARS is the best. Yay.

Even tho the price is almost 30 euros, it doesn't feel bad at all when you know you don't need to buy a new one in a looong time. It's also very pigmented so you need super tiny amount of the product to get the look.

I bought mine from HQhair.com, because NARS official site had quite salty prices with their shipping (21€ for a blush, wtf). From where I ordered from, it was like 1 euro.

Oh, and if somebody is wondering, this hot pink shade is called "Desire".

En tiedä oonko kertonut, mutta en siis oo aiemmin käyttänyt mitään puutereita koska en oo kokenut että mun naama kiiltäis mitenkään hirveesti. Mut jostain syystä nyt viimeaikoina se on kiiltäny normaalia enempi, joten päätin hankkii elämäni ensimmäisen puuterin !

Tiesin, etten haluu sellasta joka antais kasvoille mitään väriä, ihan vaan siks että voisin käyttää samaa kesällä ja talvella. Eli joku sellanen transparent puuteri oli hakusassa. Menin kysyyn MACiltä et mitä löytyis, ja sieltähän se sit löyty.

Väritön irtopuuteri joka toimii myös hyvin meikin kiinnittäjänä. Myyjä kertoi mulle että tää on valittu kaikista Stockmannin kosmetiikkatuotteista top kolmoseen ! Oon kyl ollu tosi tyytyväinen !

I don't know if I have told you before, but I haven't used any finishing powder before. My face usually doesn't get shiny or greasy looking during the day, but idk why my face has done that lately. It was time to buy the first powder of my life !

I knew I wanted a transparent one so I can use it during winter and summer and headed to MAC to ask what they had. Turns out they had exactly what I was looking for and I decided to buy it.

The seller told me this product was actually chosen to top 3 of all the cosmetic product in Stockmann ! And I can tell you I have been very pleased with it !

Mun mielessä on kutkutellut ajatus sellasesta luumun/mustelman värisestä huulipunasta jo pidemmän aikaa ja nyt vihdoin ton mustan huulipunan kokeilun jälkeen olin sitä mieltä, että sellanen saattais sopiakin mulle.

Noh, yks päivä pyörähdin kaupungilla töitten jälkeen ja lähin pläräämään huulipunavalikoimia Stokkalle. Kohta jo istuinkin MACin pisteen penkissä samalla kun myyjä testailee väriä mun huulille. Olin myyty ja ostin ko. värin samalta istumalta ja nappasin myös rajauskynän mukaan.

Ihan täydellinen väri, empä voi muuta sanoa. Kuvia tästä ja muista tän postauksen meikistä mun naamassa postauksen lopussa.

I've had this vision of a plum/bruise colored lipstick in my mind for a while now, and after trying the black lipstick recently, I thought it might actually suit me.

So, one day after work I headed to Stockmann to check out some lipsticks and soon found myself sitting at MAC's booth while the seller was applying this lipstick on my lips. It was instant love and I bought it and a lip pencil in similar shade.

The color is just perfect, that's all I can say. Pics of me wearing this and the other makeup products seen in this post, later on this post.

Viimeisenä, muttei vähäisempänä. Uus ripsari Yves Rocherilta jonka äiti antoi mulle. Se mitä ite etsin ripsivärissä ei niinkään oo huima pituus, tekoripsiä kun kuitenkin käytän, enemmänkin tuuheus ja se että se ei leviä. Viime aikoina kaikki ripsarit mitä oon käyttänyt, on levähtänyt tohon silmien alle päivän mittaa.

Mutta tää ei !! Ja muutenkin tulee ihan kivat räpsyttimet tällä vaikka joku päivä en jaksaiskaan liimata ripsiä naamaani. Taidampa siis ostaa tätä jatkossa, jee !

And last but not least. A new mascara from Yves Rocher which my mom gave me. What I usually look for in a mascara isn't the lenght that it gives, because I use false lashes anyway, but the thickness and that it doesn't smudge during the say. Lately all mascaras I've used have smudged my eyelids during the day which is awful.

But this one doesn't !! And it also gives you nice lashes, because there is some days when I feel too lazy to glue on some falsies. So I guess I'll be buying this from now on, yay !


Ja lopuksi vielä pari naama kuvaa, kaikki nää ylläolevat tuotteet naamassa siis näissä:

And at last, couple face shots. I'm wearing all the products above in these:

Kertokaahan mielipidettä lookista !

Please share your opinions about the look !

inside my makeup purse

Viime viikolla CesarsShopilla kävästessäni sain pari juttuu mukaani testattavaksi, jotka aattelin esitellä nyt !

Konadit, eli ne kynsilakkaleimasin jutut on varmaan suurimmalle osalle tuttuja, mutta kynsilakkojen lisäks Konadilla on olemassa myös kosmetiikkasarja ! Konadin meikkejä tuli hiljattain myyntiin myös Cesarsille, joten oli kiva päästä testaamaan näitä.

Kosmetiikkasarja on lähinnä nuorille suunnattu, minkä voi aika helposti jo pakkausten ja tuotenimien perusteella arvata.

I visited CesarsShop last week and got some new stuff for testing, so I decided to write a small review about them now !

Most of you probably know the stamping nailart tools by Konad already, but they also have a cosmetics line along with the nailpolishes ! CesarsShop recently started selling some of their makeup, so it was nice to get to try them.

The makeup line is mostly oriented for teenagers, which you can notice easily if you check out the packaging and the product names.

Teen's B.B Cream
Jes ! Vihdoinkin sain B.B Creamin :-D Nää on ollut jo kauan pinnalla Aasiassa, mutta lähiaikoina rantautuneet myös suomeen asti, esim. Garnierilta tais tulla yks ulos just vähän aikaa sitten, mut en oo kuullut siitä mitään kauheen hyvää. Testasin myös Ruotsissa ollessani Davyn siskolta Skin79'n B.B Creamia (koska sen mun matkalaukku episodin jälkeen omat meikit oli vielä kadoksissa), joka sai mun ihon näyttämään lähinnä harmaalta eikä peittänyt kyllä mitään :D

Olin ehkä aluks hiukan epäluuloinen tästä, mutta kun kokeilin, niin totesin että täähän toimii ! Mitä nyt muutaman pikku finnin peitin cover all mixillä, mut muuten tosi hyvä. Paljon kevyempi kuin mun normaali meikkivoide mut silti saa epätasasuudet piiloon.

Yes ! Finally got a B.B Cream :-D These have been a boom in Asia for a long time already, but lately have reached Finland too. For example, Garnier just released it's own, but I haven't heard anything good about it tho. Also tried Skin79's B.B Cream from Davy's sister when I was in Sweden (because of the episode with my suitcase, I didn't have my own makeup with me either), and it only made my skin look gray and didn't cover anything really :D

I was maybe a bit suscpicious about this, but when I tried it, I realised it works ! Although I had to cover couple pimples with cover all mix, but other than that, it was really good. Much more lighter than my usual foundation but still covered most of the flaws.

Pretty Doll's Lipstick
Sain tän huulipunan sävyssä "Nude Pink Brown" ja se on just sitä mitä nimikin sanoo :D Sopiva sekoitus noita kaikkia. Ehkä asteen tummempi kuin mitä oon yleensä tottunut käyttämään, mut silti kiva.
Tää tuoksuu ihanan makeelle, ehkä vähän hedelmäiselle ja tuntuu kivalta huulilla !

I got this lipstick in shade "Nude Pink Brown" and that's exactly what the color is :D A good mixture of all that. Maybe a bit darker than I've used to wearing, but still nice.
This has a sweet, maybe a bit fruity scent and feels nice on your lips !

Black Cats Eyeliner
Eyelineriä tarttee aina, eikä mulla oo mitään valittamista tästäkään. Kunnon musta, eli peittää hyvin, kuivuu nopeasti, sivellin on ohut jolla saa tarkkaa jälkeä, ei tartu silmäluomiin päivän aikana jne. Kaikki kohdallaan !

You always need an eyeliner and I have nothing to complain about this one either. A real black color so it doesn't come out as transparent, dries quickly, the brush is thin and you can make fine lines with it, doesn't smudge your eyelids during the day and so on. Works perfectly !


Ja nyt kun jo valmiiksi kirjoittelin meikeistä, niin kirjotellaan vähän lisää vielä :D Oon lupaillut postaa mun meikkipussin sisällöstä jo hyvän aikaa, niin tässäpä olis nyt vihdoin ! Käytin melkein koko päivän tän kollaasin tekoon, joten toivottavasti se on hyvä ja saa selvää mikä mikin on XD En sen kummemmin kirjottanut et mitä sävyy mikäkin on, koska ei ois mahtunut, joten kysykää jos kiinnostaa :D

Näiden lisäks mun meikkilaukussa kulkee "first aid kit" aka pinsetit, ripsiliima (ripsien fiksailuun), pikaliima(kynsiäksidenttien varalle) ja silmätipat (jos piilarit alkaa hiertää). Muutaman jutun myös jätin pois koska ei kollaasiin mahtunu ja säilytän niitä laatikoissa enkä meikkipussissa (esim. Sigman paletti) jne.

And now when I'm already writing about makeup, I'm gonna write a bit more about them :D I've been promising to post for a quite while about what's inside my makeup purse, so here it is, finally ! I spent almost the whole day making this collage, so I hope it's good and you can see what is what XD I didn't list the exact names of the products in it because I couldn't fit them in it, but if you're interested in something, please ask :D

With these, I have a "first aid kit" in my makeup purse which contains tweezers, eyelash glue (for fixing false lashes), super glue (for nail accidents) and eyedrops (for contact lenses). Also left out a couple things out of this because they're things I store in my drawer, not makeup purse (like the Sigma palette) and so on.

Ps. Tällanen sydän jonkun tietyn meikin päällä tarkottaa sit sitä et se on yks mun lempparituotteista !
Ps. This heart symbol over some specific makeup means that it's one of my favourite products !

Huomasin että mulla on yllättävän paljon huulipunia ja -kiiltoja, sekä luomivärejä ottaen huomioon miten vähän käytän mitään huulimeikkiä ja että päädyn aina siihen ruskeeseen luomiväriin, haha. Ja kyllä, jokainen nainen tarvitsee kuusi ripsiväriä.....

I noticed I have kinda a lot of lipsticks and -glosses, and also a lot eyeshadows even tho I hardly ever use lip makeup and I always end up picking the brown eyeshadow, haha. And yes, every woman needs six mascaras......

Sain myös uuden kuoren mun kännykkään Cesarsilta, jee ! *-* Tän pääkallokuoren oisin alunperinkin halunnut, mut viimeks kun kävin, niin ei ollut vielä kuin ne näytekappaleet mistä sain valita. Hihii. Btw, kaikki nää kuoret on nyt -30% joten käykää tsekkailemassa jos blingaava luuri kiinnostaa. TÄÄLLÄ !

I also got a new case for my phone when I visited Cesars, yay ! *-* This was the one I orginally wanted actually, but last time I was there, they only had the sample pieces where I got to pick from. Hihii. Btw, all cases are 30% OFF now, so check it out if you're interested to make your phone blingy. HERE !

outfit and new eyeshadows from sigma

Just a quick update for now before I go to sleep ! We had a board game evening at my place today and had a lot of fun 8D Alex arrived right after he got off from school so we had time to cook some food and chill a bit, before the others would arrive. Tiina, Toni, Heikki, Sami and Sini got here after 6pm and then we started playing !

This was my outfit for today:

cardigan fuga t-shirt ghost of harlem shorts DIY fur muffler pull&bear shoes jeffrey campbell

We played Afrikan tähti and Alias. AND planned an awesome party for next week, you'll hear about it later XD I need to start doing my outfit for it soon hihiii.


Also got some stuff from Sigma Beauty few days ago ! I was expecting to get only this eyeshadow palette but I also got this brushkit AGAIN, I have no idea why, but since I've already made a review about them, I gave it to Alex because I knew he was in a desperate need of new brushes. I've been really pleased with the brushes so I think he will like them too.

I joined the Sigma Beauty Affiliate program lately, so I got some info about it, and ofcourse this eyeshadow palette !

It comes in 3 different colors, the one I got is called "Bare". Perfect shades for creating smokey eyes and nude looks ! Each palette has 8 beautiful eyeshadows~

Close-up !

You'll also get this brush with the palette ! Hahah still unfinished nails, I haven't had time to finish them yet, but I'll do it soon so you'll get the part 2 for the nail tutorial asap.

Here's some swatches because I don't have any proper makeup pics yet. Later, maybe !
Buuut I like it so much, I was actually hoping to get this exact palette and I got it so I feel lucky *u*

Go check out Sigma Beauty website, they have awesome makeup stuff and especially brushes that I would honestly recommend to everyone !

Bye for now, and sorry for the half-assed entry, all I can think about right now is sleeping hahaha. Later !

lenses, lashes, facial masks...

Sain jo melko pitkän aikaa sitten testattavakseni juttuja Shoppingholics.com'lta, mutta sain vasta nyt aikaseks tehtyä tän.
Paketti sisälsi Jümily no.2 -ripset, pari kappaletta My Beauty Diaryn Hello Kitty -kasvonaamioita, sekä Princess Mimi Apple Green -piilarit.

I got some stuff to review from Shoppingholics.com quite while ago, but haven't had time to do this entry until now.
The parcel included Jümily no.2 -lashes, couple Hello Kitty masks by My Beauty Diary, and Princess Mimi Apple Green -contact lenses.

Alotetaan vaikka näistä ripsistä ! Paketissa on siis kahdet erilaiset ripset, molemmat yläripsiä, joita voi käyttää yhdessä tai erikseen (siitä varmaan toi nimi "3 way eyes").
Ekaks aattelin et oumaigaad, mitä teen näillä, koska nää on niin erilaiset kuin ne ripset mihin oon tottunut joita käytän päivittäin.

Let's start with these lashes ! The package has 2 different types of lashes, both upper lashes, which you can wear together or separately (I guess that's why they're called "3 way eyes").
First I was like ohmygod, what I'm gonna do with these, because these are totally different than the lashes I've used to wear with my daily makeup.

Eli ensinnäkin mun piti kehitellä vähän erilainen meikki kuin yleensä. Käytin siis paria hailakkaa ruskeen sävyä ja tollasta valkosta shimmeriä. sit vaan ripsaria ja eyelinerin jätin kokonaan pois, tota silmän sisänurkkaa lukuunottamatta.
Ripsi #1 ei oo juuri minkään näköinen, tosi luonnollinen mut tuo ehkä ihan aavistuksen ilmettä. Mut sit kun lisää vielä ton ripsi #2'n niin, alkaa näyttääkin joltain, mut silti pysyy melko luonnollisena :D
Nää ripset ois varmaan aika hyvät silleen et #1 kouluun/töihin, ja jos illal on bileet niin liimaa viel #2 päälle niin on ready to go !
Paitsi et mä tykkään vähän jytkymmästä lookista niin nää ei oo ehkä mulle se omin juttu.

At first I had to create a bit different makeup style than my usual one is. I used 2 light brown eyeshadows and some white shimmer. Then added some mascara and didn't use any eyeliner, excep for the inner corners of my eyes.
Lash #1 doesn't really look like anything by itself, really natural and gives only a hint of volume. But when you add lash #2, they start to look like something, but still remaining natural :D
These lashes are good if you want to achieve a natural look and also useful if you wear #1 to school/work and have a party or something later that day, just apply #2 to your makeup and you're ready to go.
But I personally prefer more dramatic look, so these lashes weren't so much my thing.

Tässä kuvaa lookista, johon käytin noita ripsiä, kokonaisuudessaan. En jaksanut laittaa tukkaa kunnolla kun en oo käynyt tänään muualla kuin Alepassa XD

Here's some pics of the full look I created for these lashes. Didn't bother to fix my hair so much, because I've only done some grocery shopping today XD

Seuraavaksi, piilarit ! Mulla on nää samat linssit ruskeena ja harmaanakin, joten aikalailla tiesin mitä odottaa näiltä.

Next, the lenses ! I already had these in brown and in gray, so I kinda knew what to expect from these.

Joten eipä ole muuta kuin hyvää sanottavaa näistä. Tosi nätit, vaikka vihree ei mun lempiväreihin kuulukaan.

And so I don't have anything negative to say about these. They are so pretty, even tho green isn't any of my favourite colors.
Enlargement: ★★★★★
Design/Color: ★★★★★
Comfort: ★★★★★

Ja viimeisenä, My Beauty Diaryn Hello Kitty kasvonaamiot. Näitä sain kaks erilaista: mansikkamaito naamio (pinkki) ja hunaja mansikka naamio (keltainen).

And at last, Hello Kitty facial masks from My Beauty Diary. I got 2 different ones: strawberry milk mask (pink) and honey strawberry mask (yellow).

pink mask
suitable for: All Skin Types. Especially Uneven & Rough Skin tone.
effects: Whitening, Smoothening

yellow mask
suitable for: All Skin types. Especially Dry & Rough skin tone.
effects: Brightening, Moisturizing

Koska Davy oli käymässä mun luona, päätettiin testata näitä yhdessä koska mulla oli näitä kaksi. Davy testas keltaista ja mä pinkkiä.

Since Davy was visiting me, we decided to do the review together because I had two of these. He got the yellow one and I got the pink one.

LOLOLOL. Joten meikit pois ja menoks.... XD Nauran näille kuville vieläkin.

Soooo, remove the makeup and stuff... XD I'm still laughing at these photos. LOLOL.

Pidettiin näitä naamalla n. 10 minuuttia ennenkuin kyllästyttiin makaamaan sängyllä liikkumatta ja otettiin pois XD Tykkään ite enemmän sellasista naamioista jotka oikeesti levitetään naamalle, enkä niinkään näistä kangasnaamioista, mutta tässä arviota hiukan:

We wore these for ~10min before we got bored to laying on the bed, wearing these and not moving at all XD I personally like clay masks and stuff like that more than these kind of masks but anyway, here's a little review what we thought:

My review
+ Smells good
+ Made my skin softer
- Not super effective
- Idk what shape of face you should have for these, but I kept getting this stuff to my mouth all the time XD
Davy's review
+ Easy to apply
+ Easy to wear
- Very little effect

byebye Spain, hello Helsinki !

Moimoi ! Palasin takaisin Suomeen tiistain ja keskiviikon välisenä yönä ja olin kotona joskus viiden aikaan aamulla hehee. Loput reissusta meni mahtavasti, lisää siitä vähän myöhemmin tässä entryssä !

Eilen jo kerkesin näkemään kavereita puistoilun merkeissä, vasemmalla kuva eilisen asusta !
hat carlings
shirt pull&bear
shorts stradivarius
shoes coolway
necklace random shop in malaga
scrunchie monki
Kokeilin ekaa kertaa ikinä elämässäni pukeutua kokovalkoiseen 8D tai no.. lähes ! Kuiteskin, en oo ihan varma tykkäilenkö tosta paidasta mutta se oli ainoo suhteellisen sopiva mikä mun kaapista löytyi :D Haluisin jonkun sellasen valkosen lirttitopin tms noiden shortsien kaa mieluummin~

Heyyy ! I returned back to Finland at the night between tuesday and wednesday and I was at home like 5am I think hehe. The rest of my trip was great also, more about it later in this entry !

Yesterday I already managed to go see my friends at the city and we went to hang out in a park. On left you can see my outfit from yesterday !

I tried to wear full white for the first time in my life ever 8D Or... almost, atleast !
Anyway, I'm not sure if I like the shirt but that was the only one I could find from my closet which somehow fit in :D I'd like to have a loose white top with the shorts instead~

with Tiina, Heikki and Sami here ! Herpderpderp~

Ostosläjä mitä sain Espanjooliasta haalittua mukaani ! Tykkään hirveesti etenkin noista molemmista kengistä ja voisin muuttaa Espanjaan ihan vaan sen kenkävalikoiman takia... En koskaan löydä suomesta kivoja kenkiä jotka olis kohtuu hintasetkin.. Tuol oli kivoja tyyliin 19€lla ! *_*

Sit kans uus pullo mun lempparituoksua Lolita Lempickaa kun mun 100ml pullo on tyhjä hetkenä minä hyvänsä, ja musta tuntuu etten osais olla ilmankaan.. Plus !! Oli vaan 29,90€ toi 50ml pullo, normaalisti se olis 66€ tjsp, en tiedä miks ne myi niin halvalla, mut empä valita.

Ihastuin myös kaikkiin sulkajuttuihin tuolla ollessani, ei varmaan huomaa...

The haul I brought with me from Spain ! Especially liking both pairs of shoes I bought and I think I could move to Spain just because of the variation of the shoes they sold there.. I never find any nice shoes from Finland unless they're super pricey, but in Spain there was nice ones for even 19€ and so ! *_*

Also bought a new bottle of my favourite perfume, Lolita Lempicka, because my current 100ml bottle will be empty soon and I couldn't live without it.. Plus !! It was only 29,90€ for 50ml and normally it would be something like 66€, I don't know why it was so cheap but I'm not complaining.

You might notice I bought lots of stuff with feathers on them hehee....

Sitten kuvapläjäystä loppureissun ajalta että saan nää pois alta ennenkuin jatkan bloggailua muista jutuista~

And now some pics I took during the rest of the trip~

Käytiin mm. Marbellassa, missä söin elämäni korkeimman pehmiksen ikinä.. ja toi oli vasta se pienin koko :--D

Visited Marbella where I had the tallest ice cream of my life.... And that was the small one :---D



Pelattiin minigolfia yks päivä 8D
Played minigolf one day 8D

Nää kuvat onkin sit jo Malagasta, missä oltiin viime sunnuntaista tiistaihin.
Söin mm. sikahyvää pizzaa jonka tilasin sattumalta kun en ymmärtänyt juuri mitään espanjankielisestä menusta ja lueskelin uutisia japanilaisilla sanomalehdillä itsensä päällystäneen miehen kanssa..

These pics are from Malaga, where we stayed from last sunday to tuesday.
I ate some super delicious pizza which I ordered accidentally because I didn't understand anything about the spanish menu hahah and read some news with a man who had covered himseld in japanese newspapers..

Pakko mainita erikseen tästä yhestä ruokapaikasta koska se oli niin siisti ! Kyseessä oli siis Wok Buffet niminen paikka jossa sait ite valita lautaselles raakoja kasviksia ja lihoja yms, jonka jälkeen veit ne kokille ja valitsit haluamas kastikkeen ja se kokkas ne sun nenän eessä :--D Namnam ! Tällanen suomeenkin kiitos !

I have write about this one super cool restaurant we visited. It was a place called Wok Buffet where you chose the raw ingredients of your wok to your plate, then you took the plate to the chef and chose a sauce for them and then he cooked it in front of you :--D Nomnom ! I want one of these restaurants in Finland too, thanks !

Joku kyseli aikasemmassa postauksessa että missä kannattaa shoppailla tjn? Nappasin kuvia niistä kaupoista mistä tykkäsin !
Stradivarius, Bershka ja Pull&Bear mitkä löytyy esim. myös Tallinnasta oli kivoja. Primor myi kosmetiikkaa ja hajuvesiä, Kiko puolestaan halpoja ja kivoja meikkejä. El Corte Ingles oli espanjalainen versio meidän Stockmannista :D

Somebody asked for places to shop in the previous entry if I remember right, so I took some pics of the ones I liked !
Stradivarius, Bershka and Pull&Bear were nice (the closest stores they have are in Tallinn if you're living in Finland). Primor sold cosmetics and perfumes and Kiko had some cheap and nice makeup products.
El Corte Ingles was a spanish version of Stockmann which we have in Finland.

BUUUUT I have to go now, gonna head to the beach with Alex before it's too late, BYES !
