L'Occitane Marvelous hand cream trio & Melvita Rose water



I was looking for a new hand cream. I've using one from Melvita, it was just great but the smell of lavender is so strong... I wanted something else this time (I'll buy Melvita later again). And then I saw this pretty trio from L'Occitane and I just couldn't resist ;) I wasn't sure whether I'll love or hate the smells of cherry and rose but in fact both are just delicious :D Vanilla is nice too but I like the other two more. Vanilla also thicker than the others so I use it at nights.

The scents are:
-the fruity, zesty scent of Sweet Cherry
-the floral, sugary scent of Candied Rose
-the delectable softness of Shea Vanilla

Uuden käsivoiteen hankinta tuli ajankohtaiseksi, kun Melvitan versio loppui. Pidin Melvitastta paljon mutta tuoksu on melkoisen vahva (laventeli tms) ja halusin nyt vaihteeksi jotain muuta. Ja kun sitten näin tämän L'Occitanen trion kaupassa, olihan se pakko saada ;) Olin ihan varma, että pidän vaniljasta mutta en ollut yhtään varma miellyttävätkö ruusu ja kirsikka minua yhtään (en voi sietää kirsikan tuoksua). Yllätys olikin melkoinen, kun pidin niistä jopa vaniljaa enemmän :D Vanilja on koostumukseltaan muita myös selvästi paksumpi ja käytän sitä öisin.

I also bought a new bottle of Melvita Rose Water, I reallyreallyreally love it! I don't like smell of roses but my skin just loves this :D I use rose water as a skin toner and sometimes over my make up too. Rose water makes my skin so soft.

Ostin myös Melvitan ruusuvettä, taitaa olla jo kolmas pullo käytössä, tämä on ihana! En pidä ruusun tuoksusta mutta ihoni rakastaa ruusuvettä! Käytän siis kasvovetenä. Pidän vielä enemmän Vihreän Kosmetiikan versiosta mutta tällaiselle suurkuluttajalle se tulee hieman liian kalliiksi :/

And FOTD with Stardust pigments :) Unfortunately not the best, I still have terrible flu...

Hope you liked the look :) Can you tell me your favorite hand cream?

    Pretty look! Those colors look fabulous with your eyes. I've been looking for good rosewater lately, so I was glad to read your review. My favorite hand cream is Lavender Hand Therapy made by Crabtree & Evelyn. I do like L'Occitane's soaps a lot.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    I'm on a quest to find my HG.:) And I need to hurry up because my L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream (to be honest, I'm disappointed - it's too candy-sweet and doesn't moisturise well enough) is almost empty! I always try something new. I'd be glad to buy the same cream over and over again, but I just can't find "the one". Thinking of trying Lush Helping Hands. Let's see.:)

    Love your blog! Your FOTD&swatches are super cute! *thinking of ordering some pigments&jars* :)

    PS Have no idea what is the rose water for (sounds promising), but "have" to google now. :)

    It's always nice to know your favorites, so I can test those too :D And nice to see you here, HeavenNRJ!

    I use rose water as toner and also over mineral foundation. My supersensitive skin loves it, it makes skin so soft.

    You call this FOTD not the best?! You must be kidding. It's gorgeous!

    The handcream I'm using now is pretty good. It's from Rituals (a Dutch brand) and the cream's called Ginkgo's Secret. It's got ginseng and ginkgo biloba. It smells fantastic!

    Get well soon!

    Upee meikki ja L'Occitanen käsivoiteita ei voita mikään, pihistin äidiltä juuri pari kappaletta viime jouluna tulleita 4 roses ja cherry blossom putkiloita kun se ei saa käytettyä niitä ja omani 75 ml Lavender loppui. Sain tuon 75 ml kulutettua aika pian, 3 kkssa.

    Mili: Kiitän :) Nämä pikkuputkilot ovat kyllä käteviä, saa vaihdettua tuoksuakin nopeammin!

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...
