The Body Shop eye palette 02 á la mode

I've wanted to buy this palette for a longer time but I just found it too expensive... Now it was on sale so I bought it :D The eyeshadow feels so smoot and I really like the colors! I thought could create both daytime & evening looks with this so it will be great for travelling too. BUT.

It really was not a high quality palette :/ The lighter colors were ok (the silver felt the more pigmented), but the pink one was SO sheer... I used a ton and it didn't show at all! I applied black to the crease and it looked patchy, I didn't have much time that morning, so I decided to use dark greay from Inglot to cover it. Yep, not planning to use this again, I also won't buy any eyeshadows from TBS for a long time :(

I guess some like these "less intensive" palettes but they are definitely not for me. LOL

Olin tätä The Body Shopin palettia kuolannut jo pidempään mutta oli mielestäni liian kallis (n. 25€). Nyt se löytyi ale-kopasta ja päätin hankkia sen omakseni :D Laatu tosiaan tuntui kädelle testatessa kivalta ja pehmoiselta. Väritkin olivat ihanat, ajattelin että tällä saa sekä kivoja päivä- että iltameikkejä aikaan. Mutta...

Eipä tämä kovin laadukkaalta sitten tuntunutkaan :/ vaaleimmat sävyt olivat "ihan ok", hopea tuntui parhaalta mutta vaaleanpunainen oli niin läpikuultava... Laitoin ihan älyttömästi eikä silti näkynyt yhtään. Kun taas laitoin mustaa luomivakoon, sain aikaa aika pahasti läikikkään lookin, joten kiireestä johtuen tartuin välittömästi inglotin tummanharmaaseen. 

Suoraan sanottuna en juuri ole kiinnostunut tätä enää testaamaan ja pysyttelen taas muutaman vuoden erossa TBS:n luomiväreistä ;) 

Ihan takuulla osa näistäkin pitää, onneksi makuja on monia, mutta itse taidan pitäytyä hieman pigmenttisemmissä versioissa :D

  1. It looks soo cute. I love the darkest color though, it seems very pigmented.

  2. Eilen katselin tätä ja melkein ostinkin. Ehkä jotenkin arvasin ettei se ole niin hyvä kuin miltä näyttää. Kiitos että kerroit siitä :)

  6. so bad, Nea, sorry you did not like it at all!
    but do not be so critical on the TBS eye shadows, please. for example, I love the cubes eye shadows- super pigmented and very durable. also the line of the duocrome eye shadows, the ones that are like "chameleon" on the eye- are also of a good quality.
    this palette, yes, I found it too patchy ad the price/quality, even 50 % off- is really not worth it! I was also thinking on buying it, but instead opted for another cubes palette

  7. Lovely look! Too bad about the palette though. I noticed it was on sale and was planning on checking it out in person and hoping they didn't sell out before I could get to it. Now I know I won't be missing out it they do since I don't go for the sheer shadows.
    Thanks for your review. :)

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...
