First impressions - Joik BB Cream & TheBalm BalmShelter

Image
I am so tired of buying makeup/skincare products and then being disappointed. I've been trying to find a good BB cream/tinted moisturiser to get a shine-free, even complexion with sun protection. So I did my research, made a top 3 and went shopping. I know that in some stores you can ask for testers, but when you can't, then you should do what I did. I had 2 small empty containers and I discreetly pumped a little of the cream's testers into my containers. Because testers in stores are meant for testing, then why shouldn't I use them. Here are my first impressions of these two testers. Joik BB cream   light contains E-vitamin rich argan and wheat germ oils to moisturise and protect skin. It has a natural protection against UV rays. The BB cream evens out skin tone, hides small imperfections (sheer coverage) and leaves skin matte for 1-2 hours (I have really oily skin). But this also leaves a light layer of cream on my skin and doesn't completely sink in, which I d

JOIK Rosewater

JOIK is a natural cosmetics brand from Estonia. Their products are vegan,100% natural, gluten free and not tested on animals. I have only bought candles from them, so I can't really comment on their products. But it's summer, it's hot and my skin could use some refreshing throughout the day. JOIK 's cute little rosewater spray was too good to pass by.  Price 4€ The rosewater has a great price, small bottle fits in a purse and it smells like roses and rose hip. This is for face and body. You can use this basically any time you want. I've used the rosewater also to set my makeup. This spray leaves a glowing finish, which I just love. I definitely recommend JOIK Rosewater spray. I think a refreshing face spray/mist is perfect for summer. Stay cool!

Things to do on rainy day : watch TV

I'm a big fan of movies and TV shows. They are a great escape from reality and really entertaining. Since it's been pretty rainy lately, I started watching TV shows again. Here are some of my favourites: Supernatural just finished its 11th season and will be back for the 12th one, so there would be a lot of catching up. I really like it, it's a bit different and a lot of monster hunting tips. If you aren't interested in all 11 seasons, I'd suggest watching just season 1. It's a great introduction to the show. Or from season 1 - season 4. Season 11 was  really really good and we got to see God. Teen Wolf  has got it all. Watch high school students deal with werewolves and other supernatural beings. This began with humour and Scott figuring out this whole werewolf thing, but season 5 was pretty depressing and dramatic.  How I Met Your Mother  is more for those who want comedy and a bit less drama. But let's be honest, drama is everywhere. So watch 9 seas

A breath of fresh air

Summer is my favourite season. Not because there's no school, it's because the nature is blooming, sun is out, there is lightning and it's warm outside. To celebrate that and be healthier, me and my bestie stayed in Otepää for 4 days.  It's a small town that doesn't really have many activities or sights, but there's a lot of sports. So most of the time we were walking and every day we got over 20 000 steps. It was just the perfect place to get out of the city and enjoy nature. We climbed in the adventure park, fooled around on the swings, ate cake and ice cream, visited cemeteries, went rowing on the lake. So with those 4 days we travelled through Otepää and did almost everything there.  There was an energy pillar and a stone labyrinth, where you could gain energy. The instructions we found next to the energy pillar can be done anywhere with oak trees.  After following the instructions we actually felt refreshed, energized, it was like a cleanse. We we

My June favourites 2016

June has been full of so many interesting things, makeup free and full makeup days. So I thought it would be a good idea to share products that have been with me on my graduation and on those do nothing days.  My all-time favourite mascara is Maybelline Lash Sensational . This brave soldier keeps my lashes long, curled and voluminous.  TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer is the reason I am obsessed with highlighting. The sheen, the glow and the sparkles this highlighter gives, aaah I just love it. Overall this product is just perfection for me. It's summer, it's hot, I'm not. With the heat my skin has been extra oily, so Beauty Made Easy Oil Blotting Sheets became my best friend. These absorb oil instantly, leaving me with matte skin for few hours. Plus these look cute. Australian Gold Lip Balm with SPF 30 keeps my lips moisturised and soft. It's a bit pricey for lip balm, but you only need a little, so it lasts long. Also it's so small that you can tak
