Fashioned in Finland

I'm back! I was so tired before Christmas (so much work but it was worth it :D) so I just slept and red some books. But now blogging feels like fun again ;) I just wanted to tell my Finnish readers about the SALE. I got green YSL solo (yep, exactly the one I wanted!) and The Body Shop Shower Gels (which are my favorite bath foams). Täällä ollaan taas :D Joulukuu oli töissä hyvin rankka mutta ehdottomasti sen väärti! Bloggausinto meni kyllä hetkeksi, sen verran väsytti ;) Nyt ollaan tässä taas ja muistutellaan ALEsta! Sain himoitsemani YSL solo-luomivärin Sokokselta -50% (vihreä, lilan ja mustan seuraksi. Tästä meikit yms myöhemmin) sekä The Body Shopin suihkugeelejä (ovat suosikkikylpyvaahtojani). TBS Suihkugeelit 750ml pumppupullossa, 13€/kpl (norm. koko 250ml) And one of the books I got was the one of Michael Monroe. He lives in my home town so naturally wanted to have this book with an autograph :D If you are a fan, like his facebook page here: www.facebook.com/michae...

I LOVE The Body Shop scents (I have quite a collection already ;) and now I found a new one: White Musk Libertine! " A bold new twist on musk, this sensual eau de parfum features a heady blend of cruelty-free musks at its top, heart and base, with sweet notes of Turkish delight, baby orchid and Chantilly cream." Available in EdP (30ml), EdT (50ml), Body lotion, body mist & body wash. The bottles look fresh and feminine, very stylish. Jipii, uusi tuoksu The Body Shopilta! Tykkään tosiaan näistä ja aika kokoelma jo ennestään löytyykin :D Uusi White Musk Libertine on pakattu (ainakin minusta) tyylikkäässen pulloon ja tuoksuu myskiltä. Yllä tarkempaa kuvausta tuoksusta englanniksi. Onko tämä tuoksu ollut muillekin mieluinen?  Tarjolla on EdP 30 ml (n. 23€) , EdT 50 ml, body lotion, body wash ja body mist. Käytin tähän oman alekuponkini (kanta-asiakasohjelma muuttui) eli kovin oli edukas :)

Yay! Hand sanitizer with a lovely smell :D These Hand Cleanse gels from The Body Shop contain a lot of alcohol so at first these smell of Absolut vodka, or something. LOL. Well, anyway better that the regular ones! I have Pink Grapefruit and Sweet Lemon, but several other scents were available too (mango, strawberry, coconut and satsuma). Reissussa tulee käytettyä käsidesiä ja ihanaa, kun nyt saatavilla on kivampia tuoksujakin! Yliopiston Apteekista saa mustikkaa ja koivua mutta uudet tuoksut kiinnostavat toki aina :) Nyt The Body Shopista löytyy nämä Hand cleanse gelit kätevässä matkakoossa. Toki tuoksu on alkoholipitoisuutensa vuoksi aluksi lähinnä Absolut vodka-linjaa :D Mutta parempi kuin "tuoksuton", ainakin minun mielestäni. Itselläni on tuoksut Pink Grapefruit ja Sweet Lemon, tarjolla on näiden lisäksi mango, strawberry, coconut ja satsuma. Local TBS had travel sizes of body scrubs on sale so finally decided to test these :D Turun The body Shopiss aoli nämä mat...

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 ...

I usually can't resist The body Shop shower gel s (I use these as a bath foam) so I had to get a few from their new Earth Lovers range :D There were several scents to choose from: Apricot & basil Cucumber & Mint Watermelon & Eucalyptus Fig & Rosemary Pear & Lemongrass Lemon & Thyme Fragrance Free The products contain no sulphates, no colorants and no parabens, so if you  need to avoid those ingredients these might be for you :) I bought fragrance free (typical fragrance free scent) and Apricot&Basil  (typical & nice apricot scent). versions. These do foam in bath but not as much as the regular TBS shower gels, the foam is not very lasting either. I think I won't buy these again. Inci of the fragrance free version is: aqua, sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium clorite, glycerin, sodium benzoate, citric acid, trisodium ethylenediamine disuccionate, salicylic acid, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium hydr...

I love the scent of Cranberries so I always buy some The Body Shop cranberry Christmas products ;) This time the holiday scents are called Cranberry Joy, Spiced vanilla & Jolly Orange. I always love their cranberry scent, rarely the vanilla one (although I usually love scent of vanilla) and the third scents is usually "ok", I might get something I find an interesting product. Rakastan karpalon tuoksua ja joka vuosi ostan muutamia The Body Shopin joulukokoelman tuotteita. Tänä vuonna tuoksut ovat Cranberry Joy, Spiced Vanilla & Jolly Orange. Cranberry on aina mieleeni, Vanilla harvemmin (vaikkakin vanilja yleensä onkin suosikkituoksujani) ja kolmas joulutuoksu on yleensä mielestäni "ihan ok", saatan ostaa jos kiva tuote löytyy. This time I bought most of the stuff for Christmas so I'm not able to review these but I added the prices in Finland & incis. Näistä suurin osa päätyy pukinkonttiin, tämän suurempia arvioita tuotteista ei ole siis tulossa...

My favorite bath foam is The Body Shop shower gel :) I love the scents, I like the way the bottles looks, these are concentrated, not too expensive as a bath foam and they foam very well. I used these as a shower gels earlier too but I'm a soap bar addict now. LOL Lempikylpyvaahtoni on The Body Shopin suihkugeelit :) Tuoksut ovat ihania ja tuoksuja on useita, pullot ovat tyylikkäät, tuote riittoisa, hinta ei ole kylpyvaahdoksi lainkaan paha ja vaahtoavatkin vielä hyvin. Ennen käytin näitä suihkugeelinäkin mutta siinä käytössä palasaippuat veivät sydämeni :D I also have a new shoe love :D Crocs! I barely use anything else anymore. They really have nice new models. Minulla on myös uusi kenkä-rakkaus: Crocsit! En juuri muuta enää käytäkään. Uusia ihania malleja on tullut, en Caymaneita sentään käytä (tosin olisivat ihan väärän malliset muutenkin jalkaani). Crocsit sopivat enemmän kuin loistavasti Suomen märkään syksyyn! Crocs Kaela & Tikru Crocs Lady, in fact I lo...

I saw this lovely new hair care range in The Body Shop, it's called Rainforest. They have 4 different lines for different hair types: Shine (normal/dry hair), Balance (oily), Moisture (dry/ damaged hair) and Radiance (coloured hair). The products are free of silicones, sulphates, parabens or colourants. Yay! Naturally I couldn't resist of buying these ;) I got package of travel sized products. The package contained 2x Radiance shampoo, 2x Radiance conditioner & a comb and I also got a sample of Moisture shampoo and conditioner. I REALLY liked the products and I'l buy full size of Radiance shampoo and conditioner later. The bilberry scent was lovely and my hair feels soft and conditioned. There were 3 sizes available: 60ml, 250ml and 400ml. Näin The Body Shopissa uuden hiustenhoitosarjan nimeltä Rainforest. Tarjolla on 4 eri linjaa eri hiustyypeille: Shine (normaalit/kuivat hiukset), Balance (rasvoittuvat hiukset), Moisture (kuivat/vahingoittuneet hiukset) ja Radiance (v...

I've really liked DeoDry roll-on from The Body Shop (you can find my reviw from here ) so I decided to try also the stick version. I usually do not like stick deodorants and I have to say that unfortunately this was not an exception... The formula is gel like, so it won't leave white marks and that is of course a good thing. The down side is that this won't make the skin dry/powdery like some sticks but it makes skin very STICKY :-O It felt quite terrible, I have used only three days and then I gave up: I won't use this anymore. My friend bought this too and she likes it, but I personally do no like it at all. Olen pitänyt The Body Shopin DeoDry roll-onista todella paljon (arvosteluni siitä löytyy täältä ), joten päädyin testaamaan myös stick-version. En yleensä stickeistä välitä ja valitettevasti niin kävi tälläkin kertaa.... Koostumus on geelimäinen, joten tämä ei jätä ihoa valkoiseksi ja tuo on toki hyvä juttu. Huonompi puoli taas on se, että tämä ei jättänyt ihoani ...

Well, I told you I LOVE TBS perfumes ;) I bought these two new ones from Barcelona, they has these in discount and the price was just 12.50€/ bottle and I'm not even sure if the LE one will be sold in Finland at all. Kerroinhan, että olen ihan hulluna The Body Shopin tuoksuihin ;) Ostin nämä kaksi lisävahvistusta Barcelonasta, olivat alessa (12.50€/kpl) ja en ole edes varma tuleeko White Musk Breezeä Suomeen lainkaan (kyselin myyjältä ennen reissua ja hän ei ollut ainakaan siitä kuullut). WHITE MUSK Breeze (2010) "The notes feature lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, plum, peach, leafy green, elemi, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, aquatic notes, ylang ylang, tagette, carnation, white musk, cedar wood, patchouli and touch of vanilla." I had just a few minutes to decide whether to buy this one or not... It's nice but maybe too "aquatic" for me after all. Not bad but not very special either at least not for me. Minulla oli vain pari minuuttia aikaa päättää, ota...

My favorite eye makeup remover is Make Up For Ever SENS'EYES! I read about this product from one blog last spring and I wanted to test this right away. I've always had problems in finding eye cleansers since my skin is very sensitive, I prefer waterproof mascara and I HATE liquid cleansers. This creamy cleanser works so well, I love it and I have used several bottles now. Unfortunately this is quite expensive... Otherwise it's perfect :D You can find reviews from Makeupalley. The price is the only reason I keep searching for an alternative. Last week I noticed Camomille waterproof eye-makeup remover in The Body Shop and asked for a little sample, so I can test it. I'm glad I did test it first. This is not nearly as good (I still had mascara left after using this) and a bonus: I got rash too :( So if your eyes are very sentitive, this might not work. If you know a waterproof eye makeup remower gel or creams, I'd really like to know (Sens' eyes is just SO expensiv...

I bought this DeoDry roll-on from The Body Shop because it was refillable (great idea) and aluminium salt & paraben free. I took the floral scent, but there were 2 other scents available too. When I tried this deodorant for the first time, I didn't know that alcohol denat was the second in the inci... But I really felt it! So this does not work on very sentive skin, it feels better now when I have used for a week but I'm not sure if I'm able to use this for longer time :/ I hope I can, because I really like this. There is also alcohol free stick available, it's aluminium salt free too. This made me feel very fresh for a few hours. It couldn't keep my under arms dry for a whole day (this is not an antiperspirant) but there were no unwanted smells either. I tested this in BodyBalance too and it ws enough. In fact TBS Deo Dry roll-on is the first aluminium salt free deodorant I can use even at work :D Ostin tämän The Body Shopin uuden deodorantin koska siihen lö...

nailpolish is Trind 131 Yep, I am addcted to The Body Shop perfumes :D I saw a new Lychee Blossom in a shop a few days ago and bought it immediately. TBS perfumes are nice, the price is not too high but these do not smell "cheap" either, I also like the simple bottle a lot. My favorite is Neroli Jasmin, it's in my top 5 perfume without any doubt :) Jep, olen hulluna The Body Shopin tuoksuihin :D Kun näin uuden Lychee Blossom-tuoksun kaupassa, lähti se välittömästi mukaani. TBS:n tuoksut ovat kivoja, ei niin kalliita mutta eivät kuitenkaan tuoksu "halvalta", tykkään myös yksinkertaisista pulloista. Suosikki on Neroli jasmin, yksi top 5 hajuvesistäni ehdottomasti! En kuvauksia suomentanut, ovat useimmat suoraan Fragranticasta, en oikein osaa kuvata tuoksuja itse :P LYCHEE BLOSSOM (LE, 2010) Fruity, floral & sparkling scent. I like this new one a lot! WHITE MUSK BLUSH (LE, 2007) "The perfume opens with the notes of bergamot, apple, cinnamon peel and tange...
