SilkNaturals haul


I LOVE The light shades Karen from SilkNaturals creates :) So this time I got Restless (UD Virgin copy), Boom (MAC Shroom copy) & vanilla. As you can see from my swatches below, the colors are not exact dupes but I really think these are as nice as the originals!

Pidän todellakin SilkNaturalsin vaaleista sävyistä ja nyt vihdoinkin, pitkän mietinnän jälkeen, päädyin ostaamaan sävyt Restless (UD Virgin), Boom (MAC Shroom) & Vanilla. Kuten swatcheistani voi hyvin huomata, sävyt eivät ole identtiset. Sanoisin silti, että tismalleen saman asian hoitavat kuin alkuperäisetkin :)  Varsinkin Boom tulee kovaan käyttöön, kuten MAC Shroom jo  onkin.




SilkNaturals mineral pigments are a bit more shimmery...







-SN Restless (lid)
-SN Boom (browbone)
-UD Naked, light brown (crease)
-UD Naked, med. brown (lower lashline)

But the reason I made the order was this:


Glacier lip gloss :D The color is teal, it's sheer so it's wearable. Contains menthol so it feels cooling. Next time i want Creampuff, a cool pink, I got a sample of it in my order.

"Glacier is a very very sheer teal color with bits of aqua glimmer.  It's kind of neat on its own, but it's a stand-out when layered over glosses.  It takes lippies that would normally be too warm, or too red and makes them more neutral."

Vegan & Gluten Free
Ingredients:   Ingredients:  Certified Organic Castor and Jojoba Oils, oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides (organic), Avocado Oil, Organic Candelilla Wax, Cranberry Oil, Raspberry Oil, Passionfruit Oil, Carnuaba Wax, Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, Menthol.  Also contains:  Mica, Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide, Tin Oxide, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate


Syy tilaukseeni on tämä sininen huulikiilto, Glacier! Antaa hieman viileää hohdetta, ei ole peittävä ja näin myös käyttökelpoinen sävy. Tuntuu viilentävältä, sisältää mentholia.


And what a pigmentation! Showstopper is a GORGEOUS fuchsia. I want a purple version too, Karen! :D It's so moisturizing too.

"Showstopper is as subtle as a hand grenade.  It's a super bright fuchsia with a hint of pearl.  It's the brightest pink we make, and it may even be the brightest pink anyone can make.  Don't get this if you want to blend in, and be a wallflower.  It's made for gals who want to be noticed."

Ingredients: Certified Organic Castor, Jojoba and Avocado Oils, Beeswax, Candillia Wax, Carnauba Wax, mica, flavor. Also contains Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, FD&C color 

Ja mikä väri ja pigmentin määrä! upea tämä Showstopper :D Mä tahdon vastaavan lilan! Kosteuttavakin vielä, i h a n a.

  1. I want to order from Silk Naturals so bad but I have a hard time telling myself that I need all those full-sizes especially with all the makeup I already have. Yikes!

  2. Tykkään myös SN:n neutraaleista, esim. Bone on yksinkertaisuudessaan yksi suosikeistani. Boomista tykkään myös, musta se on vähän lämpimämpi Shroomia. Oikeastaan kiva etteivät ole aivan identtisiä ainakin meille, jotka sattuvat molemmat omistamaan ;)

    Restless näyttää ihanan samettiselta, täytyy varmistaa et se on wish listilla. Showstopper on ihana mut taitaa olla aika samanlainen kuin Azalea (butter cream). Se violetti Crazy Love on täälläkin ostoslistalla!

  3. Show Stopper looks gorgeous! I *still* need to order from Silk Naturals, they're definitely the next indie company I'll buy from.

  5. OMG I need Glacier! *wheezes* I just bought Summer Shower from the MAC Fashion Flower collection and I like that, and I just rediscovered my MAC Chillin Cremesheen Glass. Glacier therefore looks totally up my alley!

    Also, thanks for the comparison swatches, I had no idea some of the clones were so far off. I own Boom and I still love it though :)

  6. Now I wish I got Showstopper. I got Gigi though, it's lighter but bright too. I love Glacier, it's my favourite SN lipgloss.

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...
