Fashioned in Finland

I got my Mum Mum's Crafts order about 3 weeks ago, sorry it took me this much time to review one of my favorite foundations :D Lucy is so sweet and I LOVE the products she makes! This time I got: -samples of the Moisture Max foundation (Light, medium and Medium Beige) -Sheer Bliss soap, I LOVE these soaps! -two Lemon Cream lip balms (I already have one so it IS good :D). Moisture Max foundation is nearly matte, the coverage is medium to heavy and it feels moisturizing. This reminds me of Meow Flawless Feline, but with some extra ingredient my skin loves (silk & allantoin). This definitely is one of my favorites! Lucy recommends this to those with sensitive, mature & dry skins, and I agree :) I will buy a full size as soon as I can test "light" foundation, I think that is my shade. Now I'm a bit tanned and Medium beige works well, but my skin will soon be lighter. Inci: mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, magnesium myristate, magnesium stearate, boron nitrid...

I really like Mum Mum's Crafts ! Lucy is always so helpul and products are also just excellent, I think this was my third order from her. This time I got lip tints, lip balm, soap and a few 3 in 1 pigments. Pidän todella Mum Mum's Craftista niin tuotteiden kun omistajankin suhteen :) Tämä taisi olla kolmas tilaukseni Lucylta ja tällä kertaa ostin huulirasvoja, huulikiiltoja, saippuan ja muutamia 3 in 1-pigmenttejä. The nail polish is P2 Color Victim "222 Artful" Natural lips Om nom nom :D Delicious tnted lip balms, no bad smell/taste and feels smooth (I don't like gritty formulas) & buttery (soft but not too soft either). Very nice! Toffee is almost invisible, Berry smooth is beautiful natural color. Nam nam :D Kerrassaan herkulliset värilliset huulirasvat, ei pahaa makua/hajua, tuntuu sileältä ja pehmeältä (en tykkää "röpölöisistä" huulikiilloista) & sulaa huulille (ei liian kova eikä liian pehmeä). Ihania siis! Toffee on hyvin hento väriltään,...

I'm SO happy! My lovely blogger friend sent me this new mascara from Max Factor. This washable waterproof version is not available in Finland yet. Thank you so much Ana ( Lipstick and Lightsabers ). I got this mascara today, so these are just first impressions. Brush is easy to use: slim and long. Separates & lengtens, doesn't give that much volume. washes off easily with JUST water! This is water-soluable, not "tube" thing (water really "melts" this :-O). Is it waterproof? I don't know yet (but don't swim with this :D). Does it keep the curl? Don't know yet, but I doubt... Sain tänään bloggari-ystävältäni Analta (maksoin siis toki itse) Max Factorin uuden Lash Extension Effect mascaran washable waterproof-versiona. Tavallinenhan on Suomessakin jo saatavilla ja tämän pitäisi kyllä myöhemmin tulla myös. Tässä ensimmäiset tuntemukset: Harja on pitkä ja kapea, ei suttaa yhtään! Erottelee ja pidentää, ei niinkään tuuhenna. Lähtee helposti pois PE...

Sorry, it took me forever and ever to test Mum Mum's mattes... I tried these once with Detrivore primer but it was disaster :D Maybe mattes work better with less sticky base? Today I tried these with Too faced shadow insurance and I really liked these! I usually do not like mattes (except ones from Aromaleigh) so I'm glad I found these too :) If you want to read more about Mum Mum's mattes, see LisaKate's post here and here are my swatches. On pitänyt testata nämä Mum Mum'sin mattasävyt jo pidempään... Kerran kokeilinkin mutta lopputulos oli ihan järkky Detrivore primerin kanssa. Ehkä tosiaan tahmaisemmat primerit eivät ole parhaimmillaan matta-sävyjen kanssa. Nyt käytössä oli Too Facedin pohjustaja ja johan toimii :) En suuremmin matta-sävyistä perusta, Aromaleigh tosin on poikkeus tähän. Jos haluat lukea lisää Mum Mum'sin mattasävyistä, katso LisaKaten postaus täältä. Omat swatchini taas löydät täältä. ' Sorry, didn't have contact lenses on so I didn...

I practically NEVER use pinks on my nails but now I wanted to try Opi Kinky in Helsinki. And I have to say that I really do not like this :D But maybe this still is a must have for all Finnish nail polish addicts. LOL En käytännössä koskaan käytä pinkkejä lakkoja mutta täytyihän sitä OPIn Kinky In Helsinki kuitenkin saada ;) Olisin voinut jättää testin väliin, en kertakaikkiaan pidä tästä... Mutta kaipa tämä kunnon lakkafriikin valikoimiin on silti kuuluttava :D And here is the EOTD using Mum Mum's greens: -GOSH Primer -Mum Mum's Spring Dew LE (tear duct area, inner lid) -Mum Mum's Jade (lid) -Mum Mum's Emerald forest (crease, lower lashline) -MAC Fluidline Blitz and Glitz -Lumene Excellenght+ Shiseido mascara base

Once again I decided not order anything but then a lovely reader of this blog contacted and send me this link. It's a video review made by Enkore, telling about Purely cosmetics. Well, just look the video! Especially if you have acne scars or super-oily skin. I don't have those problems but I still found many interesting products from Purely Cosmetics :) I wanted to test the foundation, primer for normal/dry skin & DIAMOND powder. I really like the ingredients this company uses! I also contacted the owner, Robyn, before I ordered and she answered me right away. I'll tell more when the products arrive. I'll post some eyeshadow swatches too, since I "accidentally" ordered the sample pack of 22 colors... Oops. I hope I get the color called Purple Koala ;D I also added Robyn's blog to my blog list because I found her blog very informative, and funny too! But I can't post any Purely pics yet but here is my second FOTD with Mum Mum's . This is my ...

I was quite sure I won't look for new minerals companies from Etsy (I just have too much stuff already :D) but then I went to Mum Mum's site ... Well, I just found their site so lovely and Lucy was so nice too :D I ordered some samples and full size of LE color "spring dew" and Orange Sherbet lipbalm. I found the colors beautiful and unique, this company does NOT sell repacked stuff! "With more research and loads of experiments, I developed my own mineral makeup line." Next time I'll try also the hand made soaps. I didn't take the foundation since it contain silica (I can't use it in foundation) but I found the other products very nice! For example Peach 3 in 1 colors is just divine. I've tried only a few eyeshadows yet but so far I really like these! Samples are in baggies (5 samples/ 5 USD) and LE full sizes in 5g sifter jars (5 USD). Eyeshadows/3 in 1 colors/blushes are in 10g jars and the price is 7 USD. There is also Limited edition min...
