EOTD with bareMinerals Sugar Plum

I got bareMinerals Sugar Plum eye shadow from Jennifer when we met in Hong Kong. Thank you  :) This is fact my first BE eyeshadow and at least the color couldn't have been more perfect. This shade of plum is just so "me" and I love to use this color with light green. If you think this combo is too colorful, plum looks great with beige and baby pink too. The color is not that unique but still very pretty. Description says this should be "metallic" but I think it's not... It has some shimmer so it's not matte, but still not shimmery either. In fact I liked this one, it's very pigmented. It looks chunky in the jar, like my MAC pigments.

Inci: Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Mica (CI 77019), Iron Oxides (CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 77491), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)

Sain bareMineralsin Sugar Plum-luomivärin Jenniferiltä, kun tapasimme Hong Kongissa :) Tämä on itseasiassa ensimmäinen BE-luomivärini ja väri ei olisi voinut olla täydellisempi minulle. Tämä luumunsävy on ehdottomia suosikkejani väriltään ja niitäpä onkin minulle kertynyt ;) Käytän sävyä mielelläni vaaleanvihreän kanssa mutta esim beige tai vaaleanpunainen käyvät hyvin tälläisen sävyn seurana, jos tämä tuntuu liian värikkäältä. Erityisen uniikki tämä BE:n sävy ei ole mutta oikein nätti ja pigmenttinen kyllä. Kuvauksen mukaan tämän pitäisi olla "metallinen" mutta en ole ihan samaa mieltä... On tässä kimallusta eli ei mattakaan ole. Purkissa tämä näyttää kokkareiselta, kuten MACin pigmentitkin.







-Purely Cosmetics Pure mineral foundation (custom)
-MAC Conjure Up blush (looks dirty in the pan, I'm glad SA in Turku wnated to test this on my skin!)
-lips? Maybe Emani Minerals Rain Maker lip gloss

Detrivore primer
-Inglot AMC shine 45 (inner corner of the lid)
-Inglot AMC shine 41 (lid)
-BE Sugar Plum (crease, lower lashline)
-MAC Blitz&Glitz fluidline
-LashStiletto wp



It was very nice to try this brand too, because it's one of the few sold in shops also here in Finland. Not everybody wants to buy from the internet. I have tested their foundation last spring but contains bismuth oxycloride and I got rash immediately and matte version contains silica, so I cant use it either.

Oli ihan kiva testata näitäkin :) Bare Minerals on yksi niistä harvoista merkeistä, jota myydään kaupoissa (Kicks) täälläkin. Meikkipohjasta en välittänyt ollenkaan, kovin hohtava ja bismuth oxycloride sai ihon kutiamaan ja kukkimaan. Matte-versiota en viitsi edes testata tiedän jo että silica tekee saman... Kyllähän nämäkin monelle sopivat mutta herkkäihoisille en suosittele, silloin parempi voisi olla esim. Emani Mineralsin pohja.

  2. Sara.H. Thank you :)

    jennifer: Conjure Up is LE Mineralize blush from Magic, Mirth & Mischief collection. It looked terrible in the jar (dirty IMHO) but SA was so sure I would look great with it. She was right: I love it! The eyeshadow got a loving home <3

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...
