Top 10 Award -- my current favourites

I have been neglecting my own blog and reading other people's blogs for a few days, only to wake up and find that Miss L from eisaamitte  has tagged me with Top 10 Award! Thank you so much! And thank you also for letting me know in the comments, otherwise I might have missed it in this Christmas chaos!

The game goes like this: All you have to do is pick 10 beauty related products and name which one is your top pick in that category. You can change some categories, if you want. Here are mine:

Hand and body lotion: Avon Planet Spa Mediterranean Olive Oil Body Butter with Orange Flower. Honestly, Avon body butters are so much better than the infamous Body Shop ones! For hands I use separate hand creams and I like The Body Shop Almond hand cream best.

Eyeshadow: Sleek Makeup I-Divine Palette in Au Naturel. Right now I prefer this to Naked palette.
Top coat: China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat. I think it beats Seche :)

Powder: Grimas Colour Powder loose powder. I use compact powder only for touch-ups.

Nail polish brand: I'm going to like Alessandro more and more. Used to be China Glaze.

Body wash: The Body Shop ones, currently with Pink Pomegranate. They smell gorgeous, don't dry your skin out and last for a long time.

Blush: Nars Deep Throat. Gorgeous colour! One of the most versatile blushes I've ever used.

Lip balm: Joik Deeply Moisturizing Emu Oil Salve. Works for your cuticles too!

Facial moisturizer: Lumene Vitamin C+ range, especially Bright Skin Radiance Nectar.

Eye cream: Avon Anew Rejuvenate 24 Hour Eye Cream. Actually,, there are two creams in one pot, one for night time, another for day time. 

Now it's your turn! I tag:

Beautiful Inside And Outside
The Big Pink Bow
Beauty and Make Up Boudoir
Iluelu
I.R. Pale

And that's about it right now! I don't want to tag Estonian bloggers who have been tagged before and don't know right now who to tag from abroad. Maybe I can figure it out later!

Here are the Top 10 Award rules:
1. Thank the person who tagged you and link their blog.
2. Put the Top 10 award logo on your blog.
3. List your top 10 cosmetics/beauty/health.
4. Choose 10 bloggers to tag, link their blogs and let them know.

Yours Truly,

China Glaze is coming out with Magnetix!

China Glaze official press picture is from here.

One of my favourite nail polish brands China Glaze is launching a new collection of magnetic nail polishes. There are 12 polishes in this collection and it's official launch time is said to be in March. God knows, when these will be in Estonia, but you'll always have eBay :)

For those who don't know what they are: Magnetic nail polishes have tiny parts of metal in their formula and when the wet polish is exposed to a magnet, these form different patterns on the nail. I have tried some and I think magnetic polishes are a great way to get interesting nails. If you know a few tips, the patterns are very easy to create, but look like you have taken a lot of trouble. Although magnetic nail polishes are nothing new, several brands have them by now, I'm looking forward to this collection. I just hope the quality of these is a bit better than China Glaze Metallic Crackles, that were a bit of a disappointment.

Actually, Crackle Glitters are on their way too, but I don't expect much from these.

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

Üks mu lemmikuid China Glaze toob kevadel turule 12 lakist koosneva magnetlakkide kollektsiooni. Juhuu! Kui kasutusnipid käpas, on magnetlakid väga toredad. Ootan juba! Hind ja millal need Eestisse jõuavad, pole teada, aga kärsitumad võivad alati pöörduda eBay poole.


Tulekul on ka pragunevad glitterlakid, aga noh... need jätan vist vahele. Metallikud olid väike pettumus.

Empties: October and November

Yes, I managed to use up all these things during last two months. Seeing them all at one picture makes me think: wow, that's a lot!

And that's good. I have neverending supply of halfway used bottles, tubes and jars. I don't have much of a problem with things I like: they always seem to end too quickly. But when I find the product poor or average, I'm too impatient to just stay calm and use it up. I'll just stash it somewhere and set out to finding something better. Unfortunately, there are a lot more average things than HG items in the world. I seem to use everything for a tiny while and then move on to new and more interesting things. Or I might just want to change my face cream or shampoo because I'm bored with the previous one. I believe the same behavior is familiar to a lot of girls. But this can't go on forever.

On the other hand, I don't like to throw half-used stuff out too, it would be a total waste of everything: time, money, environment... and so on. Besides, there has been more than one occasion, when I rediscover something from my stash and really like it.

While this is not exactly a Project Pan, collecting and saving all these empty bottles for picture purposes has disciplined me more and made me WANT to use as many things up as I can. I try to keep it up from now on.

Of course, there are some things I liked and am definitely going to buy again (or stock up, if this is a discontinued item). You can see them on this picture. I'm not going to do a separate review of every one. If you see something you are particularly interested about, please ask!

So that's why I posted a picture of that big bunch of bottles. More as a reminder for myself, 'cause I don't really think you'd be very curious about what's in my thrash.

How about you? Do you have a lot of half-used cosmetics lying around?

Yours Truly,

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

Siin on minu oktoobri- ja novembrikuus otsasaanud kosmeetikavahendid. Neid on palju, sest mul on päris palju pooleldi kasutatud kosmeetikat, mis mulle lihtsalt eriti ei meeldi või mille olen põnevamate asjade kasutamise nimel (ajutiselt, ha-ha!) kõrvale lükanud. Tegelikult peaks need lõpuni kasutama, et uutele ruumi teha. See postitus ongi eelkõige minu enda jaoks, et oleks suurem motivatsioon poolikud asjad lõpuni kasutada. Lähemalt arvustama ma neid ei hakka, kui tunnete lähemat huvi mõne toote vastu neilt piltidelt, küsige!

The Body Shop Almond, Wild Rose and Hemp Hand Creams review & comparison. All are good, pick your favourite

I promised to do this review & comparison a few posts ago. I think it's a good time for a hand cream post, because the seasons wintery weather dries hands out so badly. And how can you expose your pretty-pretty Christmassy nail polish on rugged hands, right? Besides, two of these hand creams just came out a few months ago (at least here in Estonia). Although the creams come in quite similar metallic tubes, they are all different. 

Hemp Hand Protector is the oldest of them all. I remember it been sold more than twelve years ago already. The Body Shop describes it as giving a heavy duty moisturisation, protection and repair for extremely dry skin.

So it does. The thick very lightly minty green cream has a unique but quite pleasant smell of grass (ha-ha!) and does it's job real well. It takes some time for it to sink in, but it makes your hands very soft, be they as dry as they may. It's because of the hemp seed oil unusually full of fatty acids our skin desperately needs to stay soft and supple. Yes, you have to wait a bit after applying this, because it takes some time to absorb, but the time is not too long and it does not leave a nasty film on your hands. The grassy smell lingers for quite a while, but if you grow used to it, you might start to like it as I do by now. The best part of this cream is that is also performs like cuticle cream: you can massage it in your cuticles and it makes them soft and cared for.

Wild Rose Hand Cream SPF 15 is a different cup of tea. The Body Shop claims that the lightweight cream with rosehip oil, Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil and Ghana shea butter has been made for mature skin. It's meant for hydrating the skin and helping to protect it against brown spots.

Whilst I don't know about the against-brown-spots action -- as I don't have any, I'm too young for this, boo! –, it is certainly lightweight, moisturising and has a lovely rosehip smell.

I don't really care about SPF 15 in winter either :D I bought this hand cream being mesmerized by the lovely classically ladylike rosy fragrance that lingers a lot longer than to your next hand wash and noticed the fine print only later. The best part of this cream is that it absorbs quickly, I'd say in 30 secs or a minute and doesn't leave my hands greasy at all. I hate greasy hands.

As they say, you can tell the age of a lady by her hands, so the un-maturing action must be good for me. Hell, I must start to use it on my neck too, as this is another important lady part :P

I saved the best for the last: Almond Hand & Nail Cream. It moisturises hands and conditions nails, made with sweet almond oil, honey from Ethiopia, soy oil from Brazil and Community Fair Trade Brazil nut oil & Ghana shea butter. Suits all skin types.

I think this must be my favourite of these three, as this is the most quick one to absorb. I hate waiting for my hand cream to absorb and ruining all my important papers, magazines, phone screen and so on. Usually I usually don't like almond smell, as I consider it sickeningly sweet, but this is not the case here. I'm not good at describing smells, but this cream smells rather fresh and inviting to me, with only a slight hint of almond. It's an interesting inviting smell that says: “I really like to take good care myself. Touch my hand, smell this and you'll see and feel it.” Or something in these lines. It smells expensive. I swear, I could smell my hands all day wearing this :)

I bought only a small tube of Almond Hand Cream for carrying around in the handbag, but when this is finished, I'm quite sure I'll make a repurchase.

All of these hand creams are packed in metallic tubes, that seem very lovely and elegant at first, but may get ugly, crushed and battered by squeezing quickly. Though, I must mention that I've used my Body Shop Hemp cream metallic tube and L'Occitane hand cream metallic tube about the same time, and L'Occitane hand cream tube is much more demolished and ugly. So I guess Body Shop tubes hold on better.

There are other products like hand washes, nail butters and whatnot in all these product lines from The Body Shop, but I haven't tried any of them. Hope they are all as good as these creams.

I won't give you the exact prices, as I don't remember it for the Hemp Protector and the other ones I bought on sale anyway. Check your local Body Shop for prices.

Yours Truly,

Tolmu Rull

P.S. Did I mention that all of these smell gorgeous – especially almond, hemp and rosehip one :P

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

No mis ma oskan öelda lisaks eelnevale? Kõik kolm kätekreemi on väga head. Vanim, Body Shopi klassikaks saanud kanepiga kätekreem, on kõige toitvam ja sobib ka küünenahkade niisutamiseks, teised kaks jällegi imenduvad ekstrakiirusel :D Kõik lõhnavad imehästi ja kindlasti on need kreemid talveks hea ost. Hindu tšekkige lähimast Body Shopist.

Glambox --kas teie tellite? Glambox vs GlossyBox

Pilt on Glamboxi veebilehelt

This post is available mostly in Estonian only, as it concerns a new service in Estonia: Glambox. It's concept is the same, as with GlossyBox, but I find it is too expensive and meagre for Estonian context. They offer mostly very small samples from cheaper brands. However, I would probably be a subscriber of GlossyBox, if it was offered here.

Yours Truly,
Tolmu Rull


For my lovely Estonian ladies:


Lugesin täna Cherry.ee-st, et nüüd on ka Eestis kuulsa GlossyBox'i sarnane teenus (või on see pigem toode?) See pakkus mulle kohe huvi, sest olen välismaa blogidest palju lugenud GlossyBox'ide ja teiste sarnaste üllatuskarpide kohta.


Kes ei tea, millega tegu, siis asja idee on selles, et tellid endale Glambox'i, maksad iga kuu kindla summa ja sulle saadetakse pakk 4-5 mini-ilutoote ehk sämpliga. Minitooted on suuruses 1 ml kuni 80 ml ja need valitakse juhuslikkuse alusel: sa ei tea ette, mis sulle saadetakse ja pole ka garantiid, kas need asjad sulle sobivad. Küll aga lubab firma, et minitoodete müügihind kokku on suurem kui hind, mille eest paki tellid. Glambox maksab 7.90 eurot, postikulu ei lisandu. 


Kuigi täna pakuti Cherry's Glambox'i üheks kuuks odavamalt (4.90 eur), ei tõusnud mu käsi siiski vautšerit ostma.


Esiteks, tootevalik, mille näidised võidakse pakki panna, ei paelunud mind. Valikus on palju minule tundmatuid brände, mis esmapilgul ei tundu üldse huvitavad, või selliseid, mis niikuinii palju testreid ja sämpleid jagavad, näiteks Lumene. GlossyBox koosneb luksusbrändidest, mille sämplid on ka väga kallid.


Teiseks, valikus on ka väga odavaid brände, näiteks BYS, mille täissuuruses tooted maksavad täishinnaga vaid paar euri. Tootevalikut lubatakse edaspidi küll laiendada, aga kes teab, milliste brändidega...


Kolmandaks, ettevõte lubab, et iga kuu on karbis vähemalt kaks 15 ml suurust sämplit. See oli Glambox'i juures kõige pelutavam. Mismõttes ma maksan 7.90 euri ja saan näiteks 2x 15 ml kreemikest ja 3 pisikest 1 ml testrit? Pole üldse hea diil. Testreid ja minisid saab sageli ostudega tasutagi kaasa.


GlamBoxis GlossyBox'is ikka on sageli ka täissuuruses tooteid, isegi sellistelt brändidelt nagu Nars, Stila, Leighton Denny jne. Mõnes pakis on koguni mitu täissuuruses toodet. Seega tundub GlossyBox oluliselt rohkem oma hinda väärt, ehkki on kallim (12.95 inglise naela ehk ligikaudu 15 euri). 


Neljandaks, Glambox ei tule mitte koju, vaid sellel peab automaadis ise järel käima.


Seega pean Glambox'i liiga kalliks ja liiga ihneks teenuseks. GlossyBox'i ehk isegi telliksin, kui seda Eestis pakutaks. Milline on teie arvamus? Kas telliksite?


Kui keegi tellis Glambox'i, siis oleks väga tore arvustust lugeda.

Flormar Graffiti Nail Enamel polishes: review & a small contest!

Remember, some time ago I promised to show you some interesting crackle polishes? Here they are!

Flormar is a Turkish company and an old favourite of mine. It's very popular in Turkey, but not so widespread elsewhere, including Estonia. But their products are super and these polishes are no exception!

To be fair, I discovered Flormar Graffiti Nails polishes via MyLittleVanities blog. When I learned that they are finally available in Estonia, I just had to go and get them. Actually there are twelve colors in this line, but all of these were not available at the moment.

Just look how bright and beautiful these colours are! Texturewise, different crackle colours differ a bit: some are metallic, some are regularly matte and some are satiny and stay somewhere inbetween. Qualitywise these are a lot better than China Glaze Metallic Crackles: these are a lot easier to apply evenly and the cracks are much more consistent. They also dry very quickly.

I like the bottles too, I think they are fun and beautiful. The paper caps on the bottles will probably be lost soon. But on to the actual swatches:

I think the blue and silvery colours are my favourites and the yellow one is the least favourite. They don't have names, only numbers. I think it's not necessary to mark them down here.

And the promised little contest. You have to guess, what nail polish I'm wearing under these crackles. I want you to guess the company's name and the shade of the polish. The first person to guess correctly will receive a small prize from me! Hint: the prize comes straight from Turkey! Please leave your guesses at the comment section. A small hint for you: this is an extremely popular polish and it was launched this fall :)

The contest is open to all my GFC followers, no matter where in the world you live. New followers and multiple guesses are also allowed!

And a close shot of my nails. Please excuse the regrowth, it was not so visible if not looked through the macro lens. 

Yours Truly,

Tolmu Rull

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

Palun saage tuttavaks Türgi firma Flormar Graffiti Nail Enamel pragunevate lakkide sarjaga. Ma ei hakkagi pikalt heietama: need lakid on suurepärased, China Glaze kräkk-lakkidest oluliselt paremad!

Aga nüüd võistluse juurde! Arvake ära, mis lakk on mu küüntel praolakkide all. Ära on vaja arvata nii tootjafirma kui laki nimi. Esimesele õigele arvajale saadan Türgist toodud auhinna. Arvamused kirjutage palun kommentaaridesse ja ärge unustage seejuures olla ka GFC -followerid. 

Siiralt Teie,

Tolmu Rull

Freebies from L'Oreal Paris & L'Or swatches!

In last post I was telling about the freebies I got from L'Oreal makeup workshop. Now I finally picked them up and made some swatches! Here they are.

First, Color Riche Intense lipstick in 387 Ruby Explosion.

This is a very good lipstick: soft, pigmented, non-drying and stays on for hours. Not to mention that the shade is my favourite!

And on my hand. Notice that the tiny shiny particles are not really visible IRL.

On to the nail polish: Resist & Shine Titanium 739 Bronze Goddess. It's slightly thin, so this is four coats. Not really a bronze, is it?

And the making of this swatch. Now you can see why the back part of this nail plate is slightly smudgy :) And you can see my current manicure.

Yours Truly,
Tolmu Rull

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

Siin on värvinäidised (milline kohmakas sõna!) ehk swatch'id L'Oreal Paris koolitusel omandatud toodetest. Lakk on selline so-so, aga huulepulka fännan täiega! Just minu toon ja nii hea koostis ning püsivus! Täh-tähh, L'Oreal!

L'Oreali meigikoolitus Lana Valloga või Lana Vallo meigikoolitus L'Orealiga

I'm very sorry,  this is from Lana Vallo website.

This post is in Estonian only, because it concerns a make up workshop that is held in Estonian I attended last week. If you need more information, please ask!

For my lovely Estonian readers: 

Kas mäletate, paar kuud tagasi kutsuti FB-s inimesi L'Oreal Paris tasuta meigikoolitusele Lana Vallo stuudiosse? Tookord mul osalejate sekka mahtuda ei õnnestunud. Mu imestus oli suur kui eelmise nädala algul sain meili, et olen reedeks kutsutud koolitusele!

Loomulikult ei jätnud ma võimalust kasutamata ja olin määratud ajal Lana Vallo stuudios kohal. Lisaks minule oli tulnud veel kuus tüdrukut. Kahjuks pilte koolitusest pole, sest ei taibanud neid teha.

Lana Vallo meigistuudiosse polnud ma varem juhtunud. See on tegelikult meigistuudioks muudetud suur (stuudio)korter, s.t. avatud planeeringuga katusekorter Pärnu maanteel. Kööginurk ja mõnusad diivanid lisavad hubasust, ent ei tasu lasta end näilikust kodususest ära petta – kerge kardinaga eraldatuna on korteri “südameks” siiski pikk rida kenasti paarikaupa asetatud meigilaudu :)

Enne koolituse algust paluti kõigil osalejail meik maha võtta. Selleks olid laudadele valmis pandud L'Oreali puhastuspiimad ja toonikud. Minul oli meik juba kenasti kodus maha võetud ja nägu kreemitatud, seega jäi kõnealune etapp ära.

Koolituse alguses palus Lana ühe vabatahtliku modelliks ja jagas modelli peal ette näidates ning pabertahvlile kirjutatud märkuste abil põhiteadmisi meigipõhja ja silmameigi tegemisest ning kulmude-põskede-huulte meikimisest. Loomulikult kasutas ja tutvustas ta seejuures L'Oreal Paris tooteid. Pabertahvlile oli valmis joonistatud silmameigi skeem, mille põhjal valmis ka koolitusmeik. Etteruttavalt võib küll öelda, et sõltuvalt silmakujust ja värvivalikust tuli igal tüdrukul meik isesugune :D

Seejärel avanes igaühel võimalus vastomandatut praktikas proovida. Esimese sammuna aitasid Lana ja tema abiline valida sobiva jumestuskreemi L'Oreal Paris True Match jumestuskreemide seast, keegi vist proovis ka True Match mineraalmeiki ja Infallible jumestuskreemi.

Esmalt kandsime igaüks omal käel peale praimeri Studio Secrets Professional Resurfacing Primer ja tegime meigipõhja. Kas teadsite, et True Match Liquid jumestuskreemil on kolm erinevate tähistustega alaliini: W (warm ehk soe kollakale nahale), C (cold ehk külm roosakale nahale ja N (neutral ehk neutraalne neile, kes jäävad sooja ja külma vahepeale)? Mina ei teadnud. True Match jumestuskreem jättis mulle üllatavalt hea mulje: toon C2 sobis üsna täpselt mu Mac NC15 nahatooniga ja oli väga mõnus peale kanda. True Match kattis väiksemad iluvead ära, kuid seejuures mõjus nahal äärmiselt loomulikuna. Ainus väike etteheide oleks, et pärast 3-4 tundi nahal muutus mu nahk üsna läikivaks, kuid seda juhtub mul paljude jumestuskreemidega. Samas on kindlasti tegu väga hea jumestuskreemiga ja kui ma peaks kunagi vajama uut jumestuskreemi, siis ma kindlasti kaaluks selle ostmist.

Peitekreemina kasutasime True Match Touche Magique Concealer'it, nii silma all kui mujal. Eraldi peitekat vistrike jaoks L'Orealil polnud. Samuti tuli tolmpuudri asemel meigi kinnitamiseks kasutada True Match kompaktpuudrit, mille toonide numeratsioon vastab samuti True Match jumestuskreemide omale (nagu ka Touche Magique toonide numeratsioon). See häiris mind veidi, kuna olen juba aastaid kasutanud tolmpuudrit ja olen veendunud, et kompaktpuuder sobib pigem meigi värskendamiseks.

Nüüd oli käes põskede ja silmade kord. Silmade värvimiseks oli igaühe laual suur kosmeetikakott erinevate toodetega, mille seast valida, ja pintslikomplekt Real Techniques Starter Set by Samantha Chapman.

Need pintslid ei meeldinud mulle üldse! Ilmselt olen harjunud paremaid kasutama:D Kulmupintsel oli liiga suur, see, mida Samantha Chapman nimetab Accent Brush liiga väike ja ebamugava kujuga ja üleüldse olid need pintslid kuidagi liiga pehmed ja libedad. Põsepunapintsel oleks minu arvates kõlvanud rohkem puudri jaoks, põsepuna tarvis oleksin soovinud väiksemat ja täpsemat pintslit. Minu arvates Real Techniques pintslid pigem loopisid värvi laiali kui seda laule kandsid. Ainsana saab mult armu Base Shadow brush, mida kasutasin silmakoopa rõhutamiseks ja värvide hajutamiseks. Samas saan aru, et need ongi ainult hajutuskomplekitidena mõeldud ega peagi erilist professionaalsust pakkuma.

Minu arvates on odavamatest pintslitest näiteks elf Studio sarja pintslid oluliselt täpsemad ja annavad parema kontrolli oma tegevuse üle. Mac'i jt. heade firmade pintslitest muidugi rääkimata. Aga eks see maitse ja harjumuse asi ole. Igatahes minust jääb see komplekt küll nüüd pärast proovimist poodi. Kes veel on kõnealusele koolitusele minemas ja harjunud kvaliteetseid pintsleid kasutama, soovitan oma pintslikomplekti kaasa võtta!

Palusin Lanal valida mulle silmameigitoonid ja teha ühe silma minu peal oma käega. Lana valis minu rohelistele silmadele ja heledatele juustele kombinatsiooni tumesinisest, hallikast sinisest ja kahest beežikast toonist (Smoky Blue Duo Eyeshadow 22 ja Star Secrets Quad Pro Eyeshadows 333 Freida Pinto). Ise ma poleks iial endale meigiks tumesiniseid toone valinud, aga see tegigi asja põnevaks minu jaoks :D Lõppude lõpuks läksingi koolitusele ju selleks, et midagi uut ja huvitavat (enda kohta) teada saada.

Tulemus sai ülimalt kena, ehkki igapäevaselt nii tugevat meiki ma ei kanna. Kuigi koolituse eesmärk oli õpetada pigem (kergemat) päevameiki, siis minu meik päevameik küll enam ei olnud, vähemalt mitte minu jaoks. Tulemus oli pigem rohkem modern smoky eye liinis :P

Pärast silmade valmissaamist korrigeerisin veelkord põsepuna, panin kergelt värvi kulmudele ja roosat läiget huuletele: Glam Shine 6H toonis 106 Forever Young. Leidsin endale ka uue mõnusa huulepliiatsi Contour Parfait toonis 656 Honey.

Pooleteise tunniga oli kõik valmis. Tehnika polnud iseenesest raske, aga mõni kogenematum pliks jäi vist küll veidi jänni. Mina sain aja piires võimaluse veel L'Oreal Paris erinevaid tooteid näppida ja Lanale hulgaliselt küsimusi esitada, ent lahkusin siiski ligi tunni enne kolmetunnise koolituse lõppu. Ma arvan, et ma uudishimuliku ilublogijana esitasin rohkem küsimusi kui kõik ülejäänud tüdrukud üldse kokku. Ja Lana oli väga lahke vastama!

Lahkudes sai igaüks kaasa kingikotikese. Minu kotikeses oli imekena tomatipunane huulepulk Ruby Explosion 387 kollektsioonist L'Or ja kuldne küünelakk 739 Bronze Goddess samast kollektsioonist. Mis teistel oli, ma ei tea, ehk samad asjad. Huulekas on tõesti hea: niisutav, kauapüsiv ja ideaalne toon minusuguse edeva blondiini jaoks!

Need olid minu kingikotis :)

See oli üks vahva koolitus, vaatamata asjaolule, et igapäevases meigis kasutan tegelikult keerulisemaid tehnikaid ja rohkem tooteid. Ka läks Lana õpetus veidi vastuollu tehnikatega, millega mina olen harjunud. Aga oli värskendav näha teist vaatenurka ja õppida tundma l'Oreal Paris tootevalikut. Uskuge või mitte – täna töistele kohtumistele minnes on mu silmadel üsna intensiinve tumesinine meik!

Suur tänu L'Orealile ja Lana Vallole toreda koolituse eest. Kui võimalik, osaleks teinekordki!

Siiralt Teie,

Tolmu Rull

P.S. Kes ostis Cherry.ee voucheri Lana Vallo koolitusele, siis Lana ütles, et see tuleb põhimõtteliselt samasugune. Ainult et Jane Iredale ja TheBalm toodetega. Ja võtke fotokas kindlasti kaasa!

Oh, no: Naked again! Naked 2 palette release

I believe it's the official promo picture, from the internet.

Urban Decay have released today "the most anticipated sequel of the century" -- vol. 2 of their famous Naked palette. Along with some Naked shades for the 24/7 pencils and lips products. It's all over the blogs today around the world!

Of course I don't have it yet,  but you can see the palette and some quite good swatches here and here.

My initial thought of the palette is that it is too warm-colored for me and too similar to the initial Naked. I mean, most of us have barely acquired the first one yet. I'm not going to start another race for Naked, no, thank you. Besides, there are a lot of another options, like some Sleek palettes, if you need a good neutrals palette.

I am probably getting it anyway, some day. No rush.

Yours Truly,
Tolmu Rull

For my lovely Estonian ladies:

(Kuri)kuulus Urban Decay pani täna müüki järje oma kuulsale Naked paletile: Naked 2. Kuigi mõlemas paletis kordub vaid üks toon, arvan ma, et pole kiiret Naked 2 paleti omanikuks saamisega. Need kaks paletti on liiga sarnased. Ja olemas on ka häid alternatiive, nagu Sleek'i neutraalvärvidega paletid.


UK veebipoodides täna seda veel müügil ei näinud, aga küllap Naked 2 sinna varsti müügile ilmub. Nagu ka uued Naked-nime kandvad 24/7 silmapliiatsid ja huulemeigid.
