Snapshots: La vie en rose

October 31, 2014~ mood, parfüümid, snapshots (pildipostitus)

rõngadI wanted to show you these pretties ages ago, but I haven’t had the chance to properly photograph them and do them justice. These natural pearl and silver earrings are VERY “me” – they’re very easy to match with different outfits so I wear them pretty much every day. What’s special about these very earrings is that they’re from a local online store that supports the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. 🙂
// Ma tahtsin teile neid iludusi juba ammu näidata, aga mul ei ole olnud võimalust neid korralikult ja vääriliselt pildistada. Need naturaalsete pärlite ja hõbedaga kõrvarõngad on VÄGA “mina” – neid on väga lihtne erinevate argiste riietuste juurde sobitada, sestap kannan neid pea iga päev. Eriliseks teeb need kõrvarõngad minu jaoks see, et nad on pärit internetipoest nimega Panda4Ever – lisaks neile kõrvarõngastele on seal veel palju pärlitest ehteid, aga ka väga toredaid mänguasju. Printsessil on näiteks imepehme ja täiesti haigelt armas pandaseljakott (ma pean seda ka teile pildistama, see näeb tal seljas välja, nagu panda kallistaks teda selja tagant). Mulle lähevad pandad (ja on alati läinud) väga hinge ja mu meelest on see täiesti imeline ettevõtmine. 🙂

parfüümThe latest (eleventh, to be precise) addition to my perfume collection – Lancôme Miracle EDP. I’ve told you before I have a perfume for every occasion, mood and outfit. Miracle will, together with Chanel’s Mademoiselle, serve as the signature scent for when I’m feeling a little posh and ladylike. 🙂
// Uusim (ja ühtlasi üheteistkümnes) lisa minu parfüümikollektsioonile  – Lancôme Miracle EDP. Ma olen teile varem ka rääkinud, et mul on iga meeleolu, riietuse ja ürituse juurde eraldi lõhn. Sellest saab koos Chaneli Mademoiselle’iga parfüüm nendeks hetkedeks, kui ma tunnen ennast eriti naiseliku ja natuke väljapeetuna. 🙂
IMG_0143Costany’s jar of good thoughts – it’s filled with ribbon-wrapped quotes all rolled up, waiting for you to pick one up every day and be inspired. Kiddo is very excited to open one every morning and it’s like a little thing of ours. This sure makes a great gift for a loved one! I already told Triinu Liis I think she should start making jars like these designed for kids. With quotes from kids’ books or something. We’d be first in line to get one, that’s for sure!
// Costany heade mõtete purk – täis ilusa paelaga kokku seotud tsitaate, mis on kokku rullitud ja ootavad iga päev, et keegi neist ühe haaraks ja inspireeritud saaks. Printsess on igal hommikul väga elevil ega jõua ära oodata, et ühe juba lahti teha võiks – see on nagu väike igahommikune rituaal. Heade mõtete purk on tõesti üks imetore ja südantsoojendav asi, mida öökapil (meie puhul aknalaual) hoida. Ma juba ütlesin ka Triinu Liisile, et ta peaks tootma spetsiaalselt lastele mõeldud purke tsitaatidega lasteraamatutest või midagi. Me seisaks kindlalt esimestena järjekorras, et selline soetada. 😀

Empties: Saying goodbye to wonderful products

May 12, 2014~ edevus, juuksed, meik & nahahooldus, parfüümid, sildita

IMG_6926If these hadn’t been truly wonderful products, I wouldn’t have bothered posting this at all. These babies above were all absolutely sensational and that’s why I held on to them long enough and had the chance to do what they call an “empties” post. It was hard letting go and all of the above will be mine again someday, for sure.
NB! Eesti keeles lugemiseks scrolli postituse lõppu!
haircare#1 – Rich “Pure Luxury Intense Moisture” shampoo (200ml) and conditioner (200ml) were purchased on the ferry to Finland – I forgot to bring any with me. Completely impulsive, no previous experience with the brand, nothing. What I look for in a shampoo is great cleansing abilities without leaving the hair squeaky and rubbery after rinsing – some shampoos tend to have that tendency. This shampoo left my scalp and hair super-clean, the hair felt soft and… feathery light. Then I applied the conditioner, used my Macadamia NoTangle to brush it through (this is how I detangle my hair, I never attack tangles without conditioner) and left it on for approximately three minutes. My hair has NEVER looked better after a wash – even H couldn’t stop touching and complimenting my oh-my-god-so-soft angel hair. The sensation persisted for several days – it kept my hair tangle-free and gave it proper moisture without weighing it down. The scent is subtle, but pleasant. I give it four out of five cuckoos – the sulfates in the shampoo just don’t deserve a full pot. Other than that, it’s perfect.linnud4#2 – I ordered the Macadamia “Deep Repair Masque” (500ml) from allbeauty.com – among tons of other brands, they sell all Macadamia products for really friendly prices. The 500 ml jar is huge – using a generous amount of product twice a week, it lasted for almost six months. Before I bought this, my hair was in pretty bad shape. This is why this product is absolutely golden – it actually healed my hair. Not only does it leave the hair soft and shiny, it also greatly improves the texture and quality of the hair. I get a LOT less tangles and have almost no split ends after having used this baby frequently. It also helped my hair grow and made it look healthy the way no product has ever done before. I will surely buy another, because it truly is sensational. Thank you, kind people of Macadamia, for creating this amazing product!
linnud5body#6 This is my second bottle of Clean “Warm Cotton” eau de parfum and this product truly is one of a kind. It smells exactly like fresh laundry (no, not detergent) and wearing it gives a fabulous sensation of freshness and a huge confidence boost. It’s for those days when you feel like the best version of your natural self – when you take a look in the mirror and feel like everything you wear fits and like you don’t need make-up to look pretty. I love it and I’m devastated that I’m all out. 🙁
linnud5#2 – Nahrin is a Swiss healthcare brand and this mango body cream of theirs is one of the best moisturizers (and I say this having the world’s driest skin) I have ever come across. It’s all natural and contains mango butter, aloe vera, shea butter and jojoba oil to name a few ingredients. It smells like fresh, ripe mangoes and leaves the skin feeling like a newborn baby’s. It lasts pretty much forever and I would say it’s worth it’s price of 37€, but for that amount of money you could just buy a ton of shea butter and use that in stead. The product rating loses one cuckoo for being pricey, but other than that, it’s a truly great product.
linnud4face#5 – Biotherm’s “Pure-fect Skin” micro-exfoliating toner helped me a ton. Having surface-dry skin means being an awesome combobreaker – you get the dry skin of a crocodile with nasty redness and impurities.  This means I need to scrub, exfoliate and then moisturize like crazy to keep my complexion in somewhat decent shape. This toner is antibacterial and purifies without drying my skin out. It smells wonderful and leaves the skin feeling really fresh and clean. I had a lot less breakouts after I started using this and it gave my complexion a really nice and even glow. Definitely getting another bottle! It costs what high-end skincare products usually cost, but it lasts long and is worth every penny.
linnud5#4 – See the bite marks on the tube? See how I’ve pretty much twisted the tube inside and out to reach every last drop of the product? Clarins “Beauty Flash Balm” is like a magic wand for someone who has grey and uneven crocodile skin most days. Applying a thin coat of this before doing your make-up base illuminates the skin, gives it an absolutely fabulous glow, evens it, tightens, brightens, moisturizes… it is simply out of this world! It’s the world’s best primer and I NEED another tube as soon as possible. I would give it ten out of five cuckoos if that wasn’t against the rules. Seriously. Get it!

New in my perfume collection: Welcome (back) home, mademoiselle!

February 1, 2014~ edevus, ilusad asjad, parfüümid

perfumeH surprised me with a bottle of Chanel’s “Coco Mademoiselle” eau de parfum – I’ve had it twice before and it’s definitely sort of like a signature perfume for me. I have a whole philosophy behind wearing perfume – I like to have one for every mood and occasion. The Mademoiselle is the one I like to wear when I really feel like a lady – sophisticated, feminine and classy.  I’m extremely happy she’s back. Thank you, love!

// H üllatas mind sünnipäeva puhul Chaneli “Coco Mademoiselle” EDP’ga. See on minu jaoks juba kolmas pudel ja tänaseks juba natukene nagu signatuurlõhn. Minu parfüümikollektsiooni ja üleüldse lõhnaõli kandmise taga on koguni eraldi filosoofia – mul on iga meeleolu ja olukorra jaoks eraldi lõhn. Mademoiselle on nendeks hetkedeks, kui ma tunnen ennast nagu tõeline daam – väljapeetud, naiselik ja stiilne. Olen niiiii-iii rõõmus, et ta on viimaks jälle tagasi minu juures. Aitäh, armsam!

perfume2This beauty is Dior’s “J’adore” and she’s also my first ever real perfume. Not eau de toilette, not eau de parfum… just parfum. The packaging is gorgeous and the scent is amazing. True luxury!
// See kaunitar on Diori “J’adore” ja ta on minu esimene tõeline parfüüm. Mitte tualettvesi ega parfüümvesi… lihtsalt parfüüm. Pakend on imekaunis ja lõhn on taevalik. Tõeline luksus!

My perfume collection

January 13, 2013~ edevus, parfüümid, sildita

perfumes1 Mexx “Lovesome // 2 Clean “Warm Cotton” // 3 Juicy Couture “Viva la Juicy” // 4 Escada “Magnetism” // 5 Chanel “Mademoiselle” // 6 Escada “Sexy Graffiti” // 7 Versace “Crystal Noir” // 8 Nina Ricci “Fantasy”

Not only do I suffer from a classic case of goo hoarding, I also love collecting perfumes. I like to choose a different scent for every occasion, outfit and mood. Sometimes I feel like not wearing make-up and throwing on a casual outfit, so I either wear Clean “Warm cotton” or Mexx “Lovesome”, because they’re fresh (especially the first one) and young. When I feel I want to be preppy and sophisticated, Chanel’s “Coco Mademoiselle” works perfectly. The Escadas (especially “Sexy Graffiti”, it’s my latest favorite), Juicy Couture’s “Viva la Juicy” and Nina Ricci’s “Fantasy” are rich and fruity perfumes, I wear those when I dress up, put my make up on and feel all gussied up and sexy.  The black crystal by Versace has been my signature perfume (someone borrows your scarf and goes “hey, this smells exactly like you!”) for ages now and it suits any occasion. It’s very feminine, intense and unlike its successor “Bright Crystal”, it actually smells really-really good.

The next ones I’d like to add to the collection are Joop! “All about Eve” (I just remembered that one from my early teens, it’s an amazingly fresh apple-infused scent), Viktor & Rolf’s “Flowerbomb”, Calvin Klein’s “Euphoria” and Lancôme’s “Hypnôse”. One could ask what I do with several gallons of perfume, but I have never really owned a bottle of perfume that’s gone bad – I just finish them all up.

If you’ve got any questions about the perfumes I listed – shoot! Do you use any of the ones I mentioned and do you just stick to one signature perfume or do you also like to have several to choose from?

Clean – Warm Cotton

August 28, 2012~ edevus, parfüümid

“Cozy up to CLEAN Warm Cotton Eau de Parfum, a fragrance that captures the comforting scent of just-out-of-the-dryer freshness. Blending the crispness of freshly laundered linens into an understated fragrance that is soft and subtly sexy, CLEAN Warm Cotton is perfect for the modern woman who is confident enough to let herself – not her fragrance – command attention.

Notes:
Citrus, Watery Green Pear, Verbena, Floral Essences, Fruit Essences, Marine Essences, Jasmine, Orange Flower, Musk, Fougere, Amber.
Style:
Soft. Crisp. Subtly sexy.”

Remember I told you me and the bug got pressies sent to us by my mommy dearest? I showed you what she got but forgot to show off my share. This wondrous 30 ml of heavenly scents is by far the coolest  thing I’ve ever had in my beauty arsenal.  When it comes to perfumes you could probably call me a collector – I can never have enough. I usually like sweet, rich and very feminine perfumes (my signature one is Versace’s ‘Crystal Noir’, followed by Juicy Couture’s ‘Viva la Juicy’, if you’ve ever come across those, you have an idea of what I usually like) but this one completely blew me away.

‘Clean – Warm Cotton’ is exactly what it claims to be – it pretty much smells like detergent. But imagine it smelling like laundry in that really nice way – when you’ve gotten up early and well-rested on a Saturday and have all your dirty laundry done by noon. Or imagine having taken a long bath (face masks, body scrubs, maybe even a scented candle or two involved) and then crawling into a bed with fresh, heavenly soft and perfectly ironed bed linen. Can you feel it? I swear to god that’s exactly what it smells like – relaxation, confidence, freshness… It’s simply fantastic so I suggest you try it out if you ever stumble upon it. 🙂
