OPI Russian Navy is one of my favorite nail polishes so I just had to get this in suede finish too. This is so pretty! I think all these suedes look best with top coat (pic 2). OPI Russian Navy on yksi suosikkilakkojani, joten olihan tämä saatava suede-versionakin. Ja onhan tämä niin nätti! Tälläkin kertaa parhaimmillaan päälyslakan kanssa (kuva 2). _________________________________________________ I also received my Allure by Jen (@Etsy) order, I'll swatch these after Hong Kong! I bought some samples and a full size of lippie called "Dusty Rose". Oh dear, Dusty Rose REALLY has a blue flash. I have to be very careful when using this ;) I tried to photograph this but in the picture it was just a rosy color. Have you tried Allure by Jen products yet? Which are you favorites? Sain myös Allure by Jen (@Etsy) sampletilaukseni, swatchaan nämä toki reissun jälkeen. Tilasin hieman sampleja sekä täysikokoisen huulipunan sävyssä Dusty Rose. Ja voihan rähmä, tämä on aivan sininen ...

I'm so glad Heather, owner of About face cosmetics/ The She Space, decided to concentrate on pigments (and other product manufactured in her company) only. I really liked the the other products too but this is what Heather does so well! But if possible, I'd love to see primer and sealant to do a comeback :D Also the Libra Astrology collection is now up, I got the full sample set this time because all of those saphire inspired piggies looked so nice... And don't worry if you warmer toned, there are ones for you too! A few colors look especially nice: TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL: Silver pewter shimmer with a hint of cotton blue SOCIAL PLEASURE: softest iridescent cloud blue pearl with layers of copper and gold sparkle And the best part.... If you order 25 USD or more (before shipping) before saturday 3rd, you'll get TWO free BEEN CAUGHT KISSING LIPPIES IN PREVIEW COLORS! Can I resist an offer like this? I love TSS lippies, so of course not ;) No niin, ehdin vihdoin koneelle ;)...

I lost my tweezers last week so I just decided that it's time to buy new ones. I've been dreaming of Tweezermans for years and now I'm a pround owner of apple green Slant tweezers ;) I almost bought black ones but I'm glad I decided to buy colorful ones this time. Maybe some day I'll get bored to this color but I don't have think about that now ;) There was nothing wrong in my old tweezer (except that those are completely LOST) but Tweezermans are even better than I thought! I'm in love :D I also got nice little suprise from Aromaleigh! I entered photo contest "Where the world is Aromaleigh" and got a jar of Pure Hue pigment in Agate. Of you the winners got more but this really made my day :D you can my new AL les papillons EOTD in the end of this post. Kadotin pinsettini viimeviikolla ja uudet oli hankittava. Olen haaveillut jo vuosia Tweezermaneista ja nyt olen omenanvihreiden Slant-mallisten onnellinen omistaja ;) Melkein tuli ostettua mustat mu...

Couleur Caramel is a french line of organic and refillable cosmetics. The company has Ecocert certificate. " Natural vegetable and mineral ingredients : produced through Organic Farming, these active agents provide real treating effects. Couleur Caramel offers Rosin-free, Formalin-free, Mineral oil-free, Paraben-free, Phenoxyethanol-free and Toluene-free formulas. " I've found many good products from this company: - eyeshadows : very pigmented (I just love loose minerals more :D) - brow pencil "blond": I use this daily! Absolutely love this product! - corrector "beige clair 2": Another favorite, I use this daily under eyes. Hydrates and conceals, what more could I ask :D - lip liner (sorry, I don't know the color): This feel a bit too hard but it still gives nice amount of color. I like this one but I haven't found the perfect lipliner yet :/ - lipstick : I like this shimmery and sheer one but unfortunately most of the colors sold in local...

It's monday and time for more wearable looks ;) I want to test all my Aromaleigh Les Papillons-pigments now, so I can order full sizes. So far I've decided to buy Glowing Luna (light yellow-green) and Zephyr's breeze (vibrant warm green). Tomorrow I'll try Soul takes flight, that looks so nice too! I'll go to Hong Kong this Friday so don't forget the giveaway :) Ja taas on maanantai ja sen myötä arkisemmat meikit ;) Haluan testata nyt kaikki Aromaleighin Les papillons-sävyt, jotta voin tilatata täysikokosiet haluamistani sävyistä. Tähän mennessä ostoskoriin hyppäsivät Glowing luna (vaalea keltavihreä) sekä Zephyr's breeze (kirkas ja lämmin vihreä). Huomenna vielä testivuorossa Soul takes flight, se vaikuttaa myös lupaavalta. Perjantaina lähden kohti Hong Kongia, älkää unohtako tulevaa arvontaa :) -Mschic primer -AL Glowing Luna (upper lid, tearduct) -AL Emergent beauty (crease, lower lid) -plum gel liner (MAC Macroviolet) -Vibrating mascara: Lancome Oscil...

I just noticed this product in local shop and I was curious to see the ingredients of this product. I didn't expect much (these "old" exclusive companies just can't make decent MINERAL makeup) and unfortunately I was right. The first in inci is talc and silicones are present too, of course! The ingredient list is also too long to be a "real" mineral product. The brush didn't convince me either... The powder felt nice though, so if you don't really care what's inside the jar, this might be a good choice. Unfortunaly I didn't have much time to look at the inci, I had my kids with me... My "favorite" so far is still Maybelline "mineral" makeup with teflon (PTFE) :D picture: www.esteelauder.com Huomasin juuri tämän tuotteen myynnissä Stockmannilla ja olinkin kiinnostunut mitä purkki pitää sisällään. Paljoa en odottanut (nämä "vanhat" hienot merkit eivät mineraalimeikeistä tajua yhtään mitään) ja mineraalituotteista e...

I wasn't that thrilled of my other OPI suede polishes (Ink and Russian navy) but Suzi skis in the Pyrenees is so pretty! Or maybe the reason is that I do not have the original Suzi skis in the Pyrenees YET ;) I didn't like this as suede but with top coat this is just amazing. En aivan riemusta hyppinyt muiden OPI suede lakkojeni kanssa (Ink ja Russian Navy) mutta Suzi skis in the Pyrenees on todella nätti! Vai onkohan syynä se, ettei minulla oli original versiota tästä lakasta VIELÄ ;) Suedena tämä ei niin innostanut mutta päälyslakan kanssa tämä on niin kaunis!

I noticed this weeks challenge in Aromaleigh forum and decided to do my third makeup today ;D The theme was "inspiration photo" or destination and just googled "Turku archipelago" and found this picture . So I decided to try light blue with warm green. Huomasin juuri tämän viikon meikki"kilpailun" eräältä foorumilta ja päätin tehdä päivän kolmannen meikin ;D Teemana oli inspiroiva kuva tai paikka ja googlettamalla Turun saariston löysin tämän ihanan kuvan. -AL Tanaquil (lid) -AL Zephyr's breeze (crease) -AL Flutura's cloud (lower lashline) -Indelible Oceanic (eyeliner) -Isadora buid up extra volume mascara, blue

Well, I had nothing else to do ;) My husband is watching formula I and kids are playing with their friends, so I had some time to play with my Les Papillons piggies. LOL I have wanted to try pink-green combo for a long time but I didn't have the right pigments to do this look. I got the idea for this combo from lovely Katrina, thank you! I used light pink on lid, hot pink on crease and vibrant green on lower lid. Selvästikään minulle ei ole tänään mitään tekemistä ;) Mies katselee formuloita ja lapset leikkivät kavereineen ulkona, joten minulla oli aikaa testailla Les papillons pigmenttejä. *heh* Olen halunnut testata pinkki-vihreä yhdistelmää jo pidempään mutta oikeita sävyjä ei löytynyt (en juuri siedä pinkkiä). Sain idean yhdistelmään eräältä mineraalimeikkifoorumilta. Käytin vaalenapunaista luomella, pinkkiä varjostustuksena ja vihreää alalumelle. -AL Butterly kisses (lid) -AL Dormant dream (crease) -AL Dormant dream foiled (eyeliner) -AL Winged psyche (lower lid) -Fatale masc...

Orange is really not my best color... But sometimes I just have to remind me ;) And this orange looks so nice (Spread your wing from Aromaleigh Les Papillons). It's truly a beautiful color but not just best for me. I bet Lisa Kate will look stunning with this! Oranssi ei ole tod parhaita värejäni mutta välillä siitäkin näemmä täytyy itseään muistuttaa ;) Ja tämä oranssi on vielä niin kaunis (Spread your wings, Aromaleighin Les Papillons kokoelmasta). Värinä siis upea mutta ei vaan minun juttuni. -AL Marigold (tearduct area) -AL Spread your wings, Les Papillons -AL Thalia's Return, Les Papillons -Brown gel liner -Lumene excellengt mascara, brown Spread your Wings: The gentle earthy orange of the Monarch Butterfly, but rich with metallic splendor, vivid color and sparks of pure silver. Thalia's Return: A deep and vivid warm chestnut metallic brown with sparkles of wine, coral and gold.

OPI Ink suede I bought 3 OPI suede nail polishes from Nailetc.com. The delivery was very fast (1 week) and my nail polishes were well packed, I'll definitely buy from this company again :) I saw pictures of suede polishes and got very interested, I didn't like mattes at all. I have tried only Ink suede yet and it's nice but not as amazing as I expected... And these are not as long lasting as regular ones. Ostin 3 OPI suede kynsilakkaa nailetc.com:ista. Toimitus oli nopea (1 viikko) and lakat oli hyvin pakatut, ostan varmasti täältä uudelleenkin. Essien matte about you nosti postikuluja aina 5 USD ja kun otin yhteyttä firmaan, selvisi että kysessä oli virhe sivuilla ja lupasivat palauttaa tuon tilauksen jälkeen. Palautus tuli PayPaliin seuraavana päivänä. Kiinnostuin OPIn suede-lakoista kuvien perusteella, mattet taas eivät innostaneet yhtään. Nyt olen testannut vasta Suede Ink-sävyn ja onhan se nätti mutta ei niin ihmeellinen kuin kuvittelin... Eivät ole myöskään yhtä kestä...

I got my order from HiFi cosmetics last week. Shipping was very fast (one week) and everything was nice & clean. The worst thing is this company is too many beutiful pigments: it was so hard to decide what to order ;) I have tried only 2 eyeshaows from this company yeat but at least in thoe colors quality was very good. Of course I always recommendend primer with pigments. Samples are really generous and you can get 20 samples in 15 USD . You can't get wrong with that kind of a deal :D And don't forget September BOGO (buy one, get one free). I got 2 full sizes too. I took "The Cyanide you drank" because of it's name and it is so pretty! HiFi Cosmetics in tilaus saapui viime viikolla. Toimitus oli nopea (1 viikko tilauksesta), samplet ovat todella reilut, paketti ja tuotteet olivat siistit. Pahinta tässä firmassa on liian monta ihanaa sävyä: liian vaikea valita mitä tilaa ;) Olen testannut vasta muutaman sävyn mutta laatu tuntuu niissä oikein hyvältä. Primer...

More looks with Aromaleigh Les Papillons ;) I decided to try yellow (Golden Crysalis) and orange (Spread your wings). When I applied Spread you wings, I knew it was a big mistage and I remowed it right away... I'll try it with some other color later. Fragile Charms was a surprise to me too, it so pretty! Lisää Aromaleigh Les Papillons-meikkejä ;) Päätin kokeilla tällä kertaa keltaista (Golden Crysalis) ja oranssia (Spread your wings). Heti, kun laitoin oranssia luomelle, tajusin että nyt menee ihan metsään ja poistin sen heti... Kokeilen sitä uudelleen myöhemmin eri värin kanssa. Fragile Charms taas yllätti positiivisesti, ihana sävy! -Mschic primer -AL Golden Chrysalis (lid, tearduct area) -AL Fragile charms (crease, lower lashline) -MAC Fluidline Blacktrack -Hypnose drama+Lumene excellenght mascara Golden Chrysalis: A truly unique muted organic gold with amazing dimensional spirit.

OPI Ink is one nail polish I've been wanting to buy for a long time and now I finally just bought it ;) This nail polish is from Night Brights, I also love My Private Jet from this collection. Ink is one of my favorites, a perfect bluish purple! OPIn Inkin ostamista olen harkinnut pitkään ja nyt vihdoin se tuli ostettua ;) Lakka kuuluu Night Brights kokoelmaan, kuten myös toinen suosikkini My Private Jet. Ink pääsi heti suosikkilakkojeni joukkoon, täydellinen sinilila!

I was so sure my favorites from les Papillons collection will be Glowing Luna and Morphing moon. Glowing Luna is amazing but Morphing moon wasn't that special on me (it very nice though). It always good to try sample first :) I wanted to try purplish shade on lower lid, it was ok but not the best for me either. Have you tried Les Papillon yet? Which are are you favorite pigments/combos? Olin niin varma, että suosikkini Les Papillons-kokoelmasta olisivat Glowing Luna ja Morphing moon. Glowing Luna on ihana mutta Morphing moon ei niin erityinen, ainakaan minulla (kiva kyllä sekin). Ainahan se on hyvä testata samplella ensin :) Alaluomella testasin tuollaisen lilahtavan sävyn, ihan ok muttei paras sävy minulle. Oletko jo testannut kokoelman? Mitkä ovat suosikkipigmenttisi/yhdistelmäsi? -Mschic primer -AL Air & Light (lid) -AL Morphing moon (crease) -AL Fragile charms (lower lashline) -AL Ice (browbone) -AL Drama queen Teal (eyeliner) -Isadora build up extra volume wp, blue Air ...

Oh, I absolutely LOVE this new collection from Aromaleigh! I need a full size of Glowing Luna, it is just perfect ;) Note: Les Papillons is on -25% sale this week. . Oi, rakastan Aromaleighin uutta kokoelmaa! Glowing Luna tulee hankittua täysikokoisena, se on ihan täydellinen ;) Huom: Les Papillons kokoelma on tämän viikon -25% alessa. -Mschic by Seppälä primer -AL Glowing Luna (lid, tearduct area) -AL Zephyr's breeze (crease) -AL Flutura's cloud (lower lashline) -AL Ice (browbone) -Gel liner from Coastal scents, Envy -Isadora Build up extra volume wp mascara, blue Glowing Luna: A pigmented warm green yellow... or yellowish warm green?

Do you recognise this product? I'm sure it's sold by other brands too. I really like this primer and use it almost daily. The downside is that I've heard and noticed that it gets dry quite quickly... Tässä siis suosikkiprimerini. Olen satavarma, että ko. tuotetta myydään muillakin merkeillä, ilmianna jos tunnistat :D Huono puoli on kuulemani mukaan (ja hieman alan itsekin jo sen huomaamaan) se, että tämä kuivahtaa purkkiinsa aika nopeasti. OPI Ink on nails ;)

Yellow is new color fo me... I hated the color but my daughter loves yellow and now I guess I'm used to it ;) This was quite strong, but I liked it! Keltainen ei ole suosikkivärejäni ollut, enkä sitä ole juuri käyttänyt. Tyttäreni kuitenkin rakastaa keltaista ja ehkäpä minkäkin olen nyt hieman tottunut siihen. Aikas vahva meikki tämä oli mutta pidin kyllä paljon :) -Mschic primer -AL Goldenrod (tearduct area) -AL Nico (lid) -AL Smokescreen (outer lid) -AL Bette (crease, lower lid) -MAC Blacktrack fluidline -Hypnose drama (& Lumene Excellenght mascara on lower lashes) Goldenrod Pure Eyes Matte Eyeshadow: A medium saturated yellow shadow with a very eye-brightening effect. Nico Eye Lustre: Baroque yellow gold with a soft pink pearl iridescent highlight Smokescreen Pure Hue: A very fine dark grey glimmer Bette Bete Noire: Dreamy steel blue grey with sparks of green and gold.

Oh dear, it feels like Christmas! First I got my OCNailart order, it took only 7 days to arrive. Now I can start playing with Konad ;) Ou nou, tuntuu jo ihan joululta! Ensinnäkin sain Konad-pakettini OCNailartista, saapumisessa kesti vain 7 päivää. Nyt voi Konad-leikit alkaa ;) Stamp& Scraper, image plate holder, Konad special nail polish in black, black pearl, silver & purple, Plates m64, m63 & m25. _____________________________________________ Then I went to the Body Shop and bought "some" of the old favorites...
