Hey guys!

So these are my nails for today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used one of my all time favourites PUPA Lasting Color Glossy Nail Polish in 706.

Black base with olive, golden and copper flecks in it. Not a regular glitter polish so it’s fairly easy to remove, opaque in 1! layer and lasts quite long (up to 6 days or so, but only it you use more than 1 layer and base+ top coat) pretty thick when it comes to consistency and… what else was I supposed to say??

Anyway, the only downer is that it costs 5 Euros for a 5ml bottle. Though, you might get away with only one layer… And the colour is pretty unique.

And I just wanted to show you what my mother bought me for First Advent

Yup, Barbie Advent calendar. I’m turning 18 in 2(!!!!!) weeks, she also brought a regular Santa one for my 20-year old brother.

Now I’m figuring out what to do next for you guys. I’m sick as the unmentionable but the fever is making me sort of hyper so I guess I’m sort of on a roll. And that’s without music!

OK, I’m over and out for now.

Love,

Janne.

SUQQU color blend eyeshadow review

Hello, dear readers! It’s about time I reviewed the amazing eyeshadows I received from Lisa Eldridge’s giveaway which was sponsored by SUQQU.

I received 3 eyeshadow quads.

So this is what the packaging looks like, I loved that the package had a velvet pouch to protect it. I like the sleek and minimalistic packaging, the only con being that it gets ugly fingerprints on it.

Now the palettes from left to right:

1. Kokedama 02
2. Matsukasa 03
3. Komorebi 07

The shadows are sheer at first but very easy to built up. The matte ones are a bit more pigmented actually. And they wear so well, even without a primer. Once I just did make up on one of my eyes to try the shadows out, then got into the shower and forgot to wash my face with a cleanser. Then I came out of the shower and I still had the eyeshadow on and it still looked decent.

I have also been to my fitness classes with these shadows on and they have been great!

Now I also have to mention that the brushes included are amazing. They are incredibly soft and nice and they would have been better than any of my other brushes if they were any longer. But they are very usable, so if you are on a trip and don’t want to take any brushes with you, you are good to go!

I’ll just show you a couple of looks I have made with the palettes.

Used Kokedama 02

A look with Matsukasa 03 above

And a little something with Komorebi 07

I apologise for the pictures not being the best, I really should have done some looks especially to show you the shadows, but these are just a bit random.

In conclusion, I would like to say that these eyeshadows are brilliant! Easy to build up and blend, last very long and nice brushes are included in the package.

Hope you are well.

With love,

Janne.

EOTD 11/11/11: Patriotic Friday

Today is Estonia’s playoff game against Ireland. And because of that, BLUE is the highly suggested colour for today, at least in Estonia. Since I don’t have any blue clothing items (except my jeans) I decided to dress in black and express my patriotism on my eyelids. So here you go, football inspired eyes and a little addition on my chest.

Products:

Face:

• Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 52 Vanilla 
• Artdeco Camouflage Cream in Beige Apricot
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in nr 004 Sandstorm
• Bourjois Délice de Soleil in nr 12 Fair/medium skin
• MIYO Cheeky Blush in Sorbet

Eyes:

• Manhattan Eyeshadow Base
• Eyeshadow Palette by H&M (colours nr 7, 9, 16, 18, 36)
• L’oreal Paris Lash Archidect 4D in Black Waterproof

 

Now I have to get ready for the game. You all should watch! Go Estonia!

Love,

Andra

Review: Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman foundation brush

So I went to Tallinn during school holidays and I hot this brush from I.L.U at Rocca al Mare shopping centre. This set me back 9,90 Euros, not bad for at all for quite a high-quality synthetic brush.

It’s quite a dense brush as you can see and it really hasn’t shed a hair yet. I quite like that it is slanted a bit, makes it slightly easier to work with. I also like that it doesn’t apply too much product, it also feels nice in my hands, though the rubbery part is sort of too high for my small hands so it doesn’t provide any special comfort but just adds to the design.

Basically I don’t have any bad things to say about this and would recommend it if you are looking for an affordable foundation brush.

And more proof that the Real Techniques brushes really are in Estonia. Behold, Tallinna Kaubamaja Ilumaailm.

They only had sets there that cost around 20 Euros, so I would really recommend checking them out if you are looking for new brushes.

They are advertised to be super easy to use since they have video tutorials explaining how to use them, so pretty brilliant for beginners.

Sorry if this seems to be a little too short for a review, I guess my brain isn’t at it’s prime at 2AM. You can always ask me in the comments if you need more clarification.
