[NOTD] OPI No Spain No gain

I had only green "Here today... Aragon tomorrow" from OPI España (fall 2009) collection, but that was before I fell in love with Spain ;) I loved Barcelona and I hope next time I'll visit Mallorca. Now I saw this "No Spain No Gain" on sale and had to get it! In fact the color is something I've been looking for, it's purple creme but definitely reddish/ berry shade. They had also Pamplona Purple on sale but it's too close to Essence "Break Through" so I decided not to take it. The normal price for a bottle of OPI is 15.90€ (~20.5 USD) here, that's A LOT.

Minulla oli OPIn España-kokoelmasta vain vihreä "Here today... Aragon tomorrow" mutta tuo oli ennen kuin rakastuin Espanjaan ;) Kanarialle en mene enää koskaan mutta Barcelona vei sydämeni, seuraavaksi ehkä Mallorcalle. Nyt löysin tämän "No Spain No Gain"-lakan Stokkan alepöydästä ja korjasin kaunottaren mukaani, olinkin tälläistä sävyä hakenut. Koostumus on creme, levittyi kauniisti ja peitti kahdella kerroksella. Väri on purppura (punapohjainen violetti), jopa marjainen sävy. Myös Pamplona Purple olisi ollut tarjolla (tätä lilampi sävy) mutta se muistutti liikaa Essence Break Throughta, joka minulla jo onkin. Suomessa OPIn normaalihinta on 15.90€, laatu toki hyvä mutta silti kovin kallis...





How to spoil a mani? Add flakies of unflattering color over it ;) Nfu oh #40 is beautiful with its bluish flakes but it wasn't the best over purple nail polish.

Ja miten pilata lakkaus? Laita päälle täysin sopimatonta hippulakkaa ;) Nfu Oh #40 (Näytä Kyntesi-salongista) on upea sinertävine hippuineen mutta eipä ollut parhaimmillaan purppuraisen lakan päällä.

Silk Naturals mini-review, lip gloss swatches & EOTD with Charmed

I've been a customer of Silk Naturals nearly two years and the cs has always been excellent. The owner of the company is Karen and she always nice & helpful. My favorites from this company are lip glosses! Silk Naturals has both sheer and more opaque ones, my favorites are very natural ones like: Olen ollut Silk Naturals in asiakas jo lähes 2 vuotta ja asiakaspalvelu firmassa pelaa erittäin hyvin. Firman omistaa Karen, jonka mies on muuten suomalainen ;) Karen on aina vastaillut nopeasti kyselyihini. Omat suosikkini firmalta ovat huulikiillot. Näitä löytyy sekä läpikuultavia että peittävämpiä, suosikkini ovat luonnolliset sävyt kuten: 1. Foreplay (shimmery golden pink) 2. Berry Crush (golden berry, MAC Viva glam V clone) 3. Divine. Oh, my favorite and I couldn't find it from SN website :-O Eek! 4. Darling (peachie pink) These glosses are in slim tubes, I'll try lip gloss wands asap ;) I also liked solid frangrances a lot (Raspberry gingerale & Sexy Vanilla) but may...

shopping in Germany: Alverde & Alterra

Ok, I was in Germany like... in April ;) Well, I bought a lot of Alverde products from DM, the quality is excellent and the prices are VERY affordable! Just a few words about the products and a question. I LOVE Alverde shampoos & conditioners. Most of these products haven't been eco certiified before but I noticed that the Avocado series is now Natrue certified :-O Unfortunately it's not as good as it used to be... Not terrible but not great either, definitely not the product I expected it to be. Yes I know, it's certified now ;) Do you know if Alverde is planning to reformulate all of the shampoos and conditioners? If so, my suitcase will be much lighter in the future. Alverde body butter is THE BEST :D I also like the body lotions. Cranberry hand cream smells SO good... This time I tested some Alterra products from Rossmann too, I must say that I also like these a lot! I tested shampoos, hair conditioner, body lotion, hand cream etc. Just the eye makeup remov...

Mineralissima mineral makeup review

I got some products from Minerallisima for review purpose and for a giveaway :D I have so much mineral makeup that I REALLY can't buy anything anymore so it was great to test a new brand! Mineralissima's website is pleasant to browse and everything seemed very professional. Prices are affordable and so is the shipping. You can also get customer service in Finnish in this company :D And in many other lanquages as well. LOL Tästä postauksesta olisi tullut erittäin sekava kahdella kielellä, joten tällä kertaa vain englanniksi. Hyvä uutinen on se, että Mineralissiman sivut ovat myös suomeksi (ja ei todellakaan google translatella käännetyt ;D). Myös asiakaspalvelua saa Suomeksi! Sivut ovat mukavat selailla ja tuotteet myös todella laadukkaan oloiset. Voin suositella ja tilaan myöhemmin täältä lisääkin testattavaa/ täysikokoisia tuotteita :) Mineralissima foundation 1.2 gives medium (to heavy) coverage on my skin. The color is light (peachy) neutral. I love this foundation...
