Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Alpha-H \ New In

Alpha-H is an Australian skin care brand - one of the most important things I am currently looking for in a brand is how sustainable they are and Alpha-H seems to tick all of the boxes. Almost 40% of their tubes and bottles are made from recycled material and the bottles themselves are recycleable. Their products are not tested on animals and they are paraben, silicone and SLS free. I have been especially happy with two of their products that I have been using over the last two months! Alpha-H Triple Action Cleanser with Thyme - 200ml / £25 This cleanser contains soothing Cucumber, hydrating Aloe Vera and the powerful natural anti-bacterial agent, Thyme. It is suitable for all skin types: normal, oily, combination and problematic. Why I like it It's gentle and safe to use over the delicate eye area. I had to be very careful with my previous cleanser, as it made the skin around the eye so rough and dry. With Alpha-H I can wash my whole face. I have slowly started t...

New in // skin care and make up

I've been looking for a face serum and body oil, as it has been a while since I bought any skin care or make up products. My mum has been ordering from Dermoshop for years and recommended a few of their products, so I put together an order. Dermosil Nature Body Oil - 100ml (RRP € 10.90 ) This body oil was recommended to me by mum. She has tried almost every product from Dermoshop and swears by this body oil. I am not too keen on big scents but this has a light natural citrus scent which I like. It contains sunflower, jojoba, avocado, blackcurrant seed oils and rosemary leaf extract. All of these ingredients are from a natural origin and are organic which makes this body oil even more loveable. Dermosil Faces Skin Balancing Serum - 30ml (RRP € 13.50) This serum is best for oily or combination skin as it keeps the skin fresh and gives it a matte finish. I have used this a few times now and it's very nice on the face, it absorbs quickly and it doesn't leave the...

Moshi - skin care and candles

A couple of months ago I tr ied out some skin care products and soy wax can dles from an Estonian natural cosmetics brand called Moshi . Finding the right face cream is always a challenge for me, so I took the risk and chose face products from their lavender-geranium range for my combination skin. I also ordered two packs of scented candles. They added s ome lip balm to my order for free, which I am very thankful for! Unfortunately, I was not impressed with t he Lavender-Geranium F ace C ream . Th e first 5 minutes after i s applied are fine but shortly afterwards my skin becomes shiny and oily. M y pores bec a me clogged and the cream fe lt heavy on my face. Lavender-Geranium F ace S crub works amazingly on my skin. The granules are tiny and the consistency feels super light. I have been using this once or twice a week and like to leave it on my skin for a few extra minutes after scrubbing. Once I have wash ed it off, I don't need to use toner or night...

Bloggers Swap

I spotted a post on an Estonian blog group I follow where bloggers came up with the idea of exchanging packages with each other . I love making presents, so I posted my messa ge and got a reply from Häly at Smaylest . We agreed on 5 different categories: food, beauty, accessories, homeware and book/movi e /music. When I opened the box, I was really happy to see this white wire fruit bowl - my previous bowl was looking very worn out and I was alread y thinking of replac ing it . I always have some fruit in the kitchen, so this is super useful! I am a big fan of JOIK as well as coconut, so this body lotion is exactly my kind of thing. I ' ve used JOIK body lotions in the past and found they are all very light which is perfect for the season. L uckily, I haven't had the chance to read this one yet . I haven't seen the movie either!    I don't wear much silver and sadly I am allergic to nickel, so the se ea rrings will need to be test...

SkinPep // New in

My fourth purchase from Skinpep has arrived (I am in love with their skin care) and this time I was interested in two new products - Titanium Micro Indentation (540) Roller and Super C15 Serum . I've never used any collagen treatments before! Titanium Micro Indentation (540) Roller (£19.99) is a treatment for fighting fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scarring and hyper-pigmentation. This roller stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin without damaging it. I have been using this roller once or twice a week on my face and neck after my evening shower, although it can be used almost every day depending on your skin tolerance. The biggest problem with my skin is red marks and little scars. After rolling, my skin is sensitive and is a bit red but this soon disappears. Every time I have used this, I have noticed an immediate change - my skin is evenly toned , smooth and my complexion has improved significantly. Super C15 Serum (£49.99 for 30ml) is...

Dermoshop // December order

I have been ordering from Dermoshop since 2010 and I don't know why I've never blogged about them before. Dermoshop is a Finnish company, selling a wide range of beauty products from skincare to make-up. I usually place orders with my mum who will forward them on to me. They do UK delivery but I prefer that mum sends them on to me, as she'll also send me some Estonian food at the same time. Recently I received a few products I ordered so I thought I'd share them with you.  Dermosil Sea Buckthorn Shower Cream, €5.90 I am a big fan of sea buckthorn beauty products and when I saw this shower cream in Dermoshop I couldn't resist buying it. This 250ml shower cream comes in a beautiful orange bottle containing sea buckthorn seed oil, berry extracts and glycerin. It has a very luxurious feel and cleanses skin gently, leaving it soft and supple. It also contains avocado oil which provides additional moisture to the skin. This shower cream has a strong but still ve...

JOIK haul // Estonian skin care

The first time I heard about JOIK was a couple of years ago when I came across their web site while researching natural Estonian skin care products. I love organic beauty products and I ' ve tried different Estonian skin care products in the past so and thought to try out JOIK. Sadly, I haven't seen any shops here in the UK selling Estonian skin care products or JOIK in particular. I found a beauty shop online called Love Lula which offer s natural skin care products from so many different brands - JOIK is one of them.  Firstly I have to say that I am very pleased with Love Lula . T heir web site is really easy to navigate and my order was with me in just two days. The only thing I could pick on was that one lid was loose and the product was leaking. Luckily it was the mask powder so there wasn't much damage.  I ordered 4 products and 3 of them are quite new to me. Radiance improving cranberry and blackcurrant facial mask for dull and lifeless skin - £11 I ...
