The beauty blogger tag

So Miss Becca Beauty tagged me into this and you should also check out her blog, it's really good :) let's begin!
Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
Mine is kind of wavy just a little bit, but enough to make me straighten my hair.
Do you dye your hair yourself or go to a salon?
I go to salon obviously. I've seen quite a few horrible things to happen to hair that is dyed at home, i don't want that!
Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I pretty much always just straighten my hair and leave them open. From clothes i sometimes wear like cardigan and stuff but sometimes i like to go cozy with a sweather or a knitting.
Do you do your own mani-pedi or do you go to the salon?
I quite love painting my nails but when it comes to right hand then i really struggle but yeah i do it myself, usually they turn up like a mess cause i don't let them dry properly...whoopsy!
Do you polish your toes in the winter or just in summer?
I do it in the winter too, i just can't stand when my nails aren't painted, yes even the toes.
How long does it take you to put on makeup?
Usually around 10-15 minutes
What do you do first, face or eyes?
Well i go like this: conceler > foundation/powder > eyelash curler > mascara > lipstick > sometimes blush or bronzer too
Do you 'collect' makeup or buy when you need it?
I usually just buy when i need it (infact today just purchased a whole new bag full of stuff) but when i see something really cool but i have it then i probably still end up buying it
How often do you wear false eyelashes?
Never! Never tried, probably someday will, maybe even soon, when it's my art school...graduation? I don't know
Do you wear makeup everyday?
At school, yes i do but when i have a lazy day,not going anywhere then usually not
Do you wear makeup when you're home alone or with your family?
Back to the previous question - usually not
Will you leave the house without makeup?
Nope, unless I'm going out for a short amount of time etc.
How many high-end products do you have?
I don't, i think, we don't have mac and nars and all that in Estonia -.-
Do you plan your OOFT every night or decide when you're getting dressed?
I decide in the morning while getting dressed
How often do you change your handbag?
Oh god that just reminded me that my current one desperately needs a replacement, it looks horrid! I change from different sizes, it depends where I'm going
What time do you wake up and go to sleep?
Well khmm it's 00:48 right now, and sadly it's normal for me, usually around 1am and wake up around 7am, atleast should be but i quite often find myself still in bed at 7:15 etc...
How often do you do your workout?
I do JillIan micheals right now, which is about 25 minutes every day and then i try to rollerblade an hour every day, when the weather is nice to me and soon I'll start bike riding and maybe even jogging plus 2 times a week PE and 2 hours of hip hop and 1 hour of folk dancing
Are you left or right handed?
Right
How tall are you?
1.70m
Do you speak any foreign languages?
Well English is foreign for me, then also study Russian and i got 1 or even 2 classes of Spanish which didn't really give me anything, i only remember how to say i love you and my name is merilin and some numbers i remember too, soon I start with German
How many pets do you have?
None right now, used to have a dog though. Also had a goldfish, he died, 5 days after getting him
How often are you on blogger?
I check it couple of times a day to see how many views I've got and wether i have new comments or a follower maybe :D and then when i see that someone i follow posted something, I'll read it through too
Do you read comments on blogs?
On mine i read all, those 8 comments that i have and on others i read some comments when I'm about to comment, i wanna know what others thought of that post
Do you keep a lits of products to try as you see other products?
I sometimes write them in my notebook if it seems interesting for me to try
How did you come up with your blog name?
Merilin from my name and those two z they just somehow came there i don't even know
What kind of camera do you use for your photos?
Samsung galaxy s advance phone camera
How often do you clean your house?
Once a week or around that, it's still a complete mess, i create mess within just 1 day, believe me
What is your favourite colour?
I don't have one but i like anything pastel
Do you swear?
Too much, i blame my dad, that's it!
What are you doing with the rest of your day?
By now it's already 1:10am so i guess finish this post and fall asleep, hopefully

Wowtch that was super long! Thank you if you sticked til' the end and again i tag everybody who just read it through and have a blog :) have a great evening/night/day :)

30 Day Blog Challenge #3

Today's challenge is my favourite movie, which is LOL. The main actors are Miley Cyrus, Demi Moore and Douglas Booth. i love them all as an actor.
It's about a teenage girl Lola who has a boyfriend but they brake up and she starts dating her best friend, through time they get closer and closer and one time they go to Paris, where finally "it" happenes. if you know what i mean ;) Lola also has troubles in her mother-daughter relationship but finally all works out, definately recommend you to watch it :)

 I watch all the movies on 1Channel they have most of the movies there exept the very newest ones. You can watch LOL here you have to scroll down and it's all free and you don't even have to download, i usually take  putlocker or sockshare, then it takes you to another page and you have to click on Continue As Free User and then it takes you to the movie and just press play :)

If you want to watch the trailer then here it is :)

30 Day Blog Challenge #2

So today's challege is to post a photo of myself 5 years ago and talk about what has changed. I know, this photo is really weird and I'm not sure if it's made exactly 5 years ago but it should be me somewhere around age 10.
Yeah so what has changed? Hmm pretty much everything, well to talk about looks then i obviously look older now, i have now dyed my hair and i do my eyebrows and i wear makeup, which I'm pretty sure i didn't when i was somewhere around 10 :D clothing style is also very different. But from personality i think my friends would know best to answer that, one thing i know for sure is that i used to lie a lot when i was younger, i don't do that anymore....not so much. Then some friends have changed, family has changed a bit. yeah pretty much nothing special, normal changes i guess.

Sun is up, spring is here!

Yes, Estonia has finally kicked autumn's ass and spring is now here! :) Well actually it has been here for a little whie already, the last couple of days have been so sunny and warm. The weather is really beautiful right now. Okay i must say that today wasn't the best, it was rainy and cold and dark and windy but that was just for today...i hope. I really enjoy spring, already because it's one step closer to summer, which is not too far away anymore too! That makes me very happy :) So this was just a little "hello spring" post and i hope, you enjoy the warmer weather as much as i do, go out and do some sports, go for a little run in the forest or take a look around your neighbourhood taking a little walk around it :) I took some snaps on the weekend and i thought why not to share some of them with you too :)

Cheeky sister in the background :P

Lovely sunset

Sun is up!

Review: Makeup Products

As i said in my previous post, i got my makeup products. Yay :) so I'm doing a review on them, i got them about a week ago so i have tried all of them.
Firstly they came in this beautiful bag, i really love it and it's in perfect size.

Then well i got these Lady Gaga fake nails.

Okay i must admit, i haven't tried these but actually they're really cool just that I'm probably not going to wear them unless it's a fancy dress party or something, there are 10 black ones with golden studs and 10  black ones with painted golden tips :D

This is Pupa Luminys Baked Bronzing  Powder - Bright and Natural Tan Effect 03

It's a really good bronzer, i apply it with blush brush but i don't wear it daily, mostly because my own skintone is really light and it looks really fake when i don't have much makeup on.

This is Pupa Active Light foundation - perfect skin foundation 050 and it's oil free, SPF 10

Again good foundation but it's a bit too dark for my skintone, as i said I've got really light skin so it's so hard for me to find the perfect shade but when i tried it and didn't consider the shade then i must say it blends in quite easily and i believe that if it's a right tone then it'll look very natural if you apply a thin layer of it. Since it was my first foundation, i'm not used to apply it so i had to put it on and take off, put it on and take off again many times until i finally somehow managed to do it so that the final look is smooth(ish).

This is Makeup Factory lipstick and unfortunately i don't have other information of this cause there's nothing else written on it.

But what i can tell is that it's an orangy shimmer colour, i haven't really tried any orange colours before but i must say i quite liked it on me and it's not too dark and bright too and it's really pigmented so only good words for this lipstick

This is Makeup Factory Shimmer Lip Gloss 22

It's dark pink shimmery colour and i find it perfect for summer time so i can't wait to wear it. It stays on really good and doesn't come off too quickly unless you lick your lips or something, don't do that!

This is Pupa Professional eyeliner 01

Again, i don't really use eyeliner, if only then the one that you put on your waterline. Sometimes i wear liquid eyeliner when it's a party. But i still tried it, it's esay to apply, the brush is really small which is great cause I've tried some other ones and when it has a huge bush, it's really hard to not poke myself into eye. This liner leaves a smooth and thin line and it's really easy to use even for beginners.

Another eyeliner Pupa Diamond Eyeliner 04

This is green! And this is really for only fancy places to wear, when you have a quite heavy makeup on, in my opinion. But again same stuff, easy to use, leaves a smooth thin line and yeah a great liner.

This is Pupa blush and now i don't know anything else, i can't remember whether it came in a box or not but if it did then i lost it and there's nothing else written on the product... but i can say that it's in 107 and it's dark pink :)

It's a beautiful colour and again really good for summer when you probably don't wear that much foundation and want to give yourself a nice glow.

Then another Lady Gaga product, sunglasses.

They're actually really cool but they don't look the best with my face lines but maybe sometimes i'll wear them :)

Finally, i got this really cute notebook from Bourjois.

Why i love it so much is that it's pink and it's got Eiffel Tower on it and i love Paris. And it's just really beautiful, i like it. I use it for my blogger notes, i write there all my ideas cause I've learned that computers aren't always trustable -.-

Today is also the day of Wantworthy giveaway, if you have read my previous posts then you know what it is, and i just thought I'd remind you that today is the day that they pick the winner of £500 worth of stuff :)

Recipe: caramel apples

I know, I'm not keeping my promises again, i told that next post is makeup review but i just wanted to share this recipe :) we made it today at school and it turned out quite well, i was already full before eating it so i felt a bit sick after but it had nothing to do with the taste, tho it is a quite sweet dessert :P
So what you need is:
1 apple per person
If you have 3 apples then:
30g almond slices
30g butter
1dl brown sugar
0.5tsp starch
1.5dl 35% cream
Ice cream (for serving)
Turn on the oven on 200 degrees in celcius. Start with melting the butter in pot, add brown sugar, almond slices, starch and cream, mix it until it's quite even and wait until it starts boiling, take the pot off the stove and start peeling the apples (optional). Cut them in half and remove the core. Cover the ovenproof with thin layer of butter and place the apples, cutting side down, in it. Pour the caramel sauce on and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
Take it out and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream (you could use any flavour but since the sause itself is so sweet then vanilla would be the best). And there you have a good yet simple dessert.
ENJOY! :)

My Hair Products

Hello so the beauty posts are back :) i got my makeup stuff and now i'm trying them and soon i'll do a review too but this time as you can see i'm telling you about my hair products :) i've found another place to write my blog, my computer is crashed, my phone is too small and i don't wanna go to the library too so now i'm on my sister's iPad, she got it like two days ago :D
Okay now hair products...
First thing is this

This is Schwarzkopf hair mousse Taft 3 weather brilliant-colour mousse for colored hair. I picked this one cause i have coloured hair and i also loved that it is pink :P it's extra strong, 3 out of 5. It has UV-filter like they all do i guess and it should hold 24 hours. From my experience it is really nice and it smells so good, but it leaves my hair kind of sticky, first i thought that maybe i put too much and i tried with less and it's still sticky, so that's the only bad thing about it.

Next thing is

It's dry shampoo from Romella hair care. It says brilliant for revitalising hair between washes. I use it aftier PE or when i'm feeling lazy and don't wanna wash my hair. I again love the way the bottle looks these cute little white flowers just...i feel like i'm too easy to trick with beautiful bottles and stuff and sometimes the product itself isn't even that good in it :D

Then this

It's heat protection from salon Lacoupe shine&smooth thermal straightening spray. I use it to protect my hair for straightening and in summer for sun tho i must admit, i'm really lazy with using this, i use it quite rarely which can not be good for my hair atall... and again it smells really nice, i like stuff that smells good :)

Next up is this crazy thing here

A spray hair conditioner Affinage hair care collection and i can't tell anything else about it cause there's nothing else written on the bottle, the stickers on it make my name MERILIN. what i can tell you is that it is really good and it literally smells like strawberries and the best thing is, it doesn't leave my hair sticky atall :)

And then

My spray from Cutrin. Finishing spray for extra strong hold. I use it very rarely only sometimes when i use bobby pins to secure my bang up and usually it won't stay without the spray. This is the first one that i can definitely say that it does not smell good atall but it holds really good so i'm still using it :P

Last products are

They're both from Schwarzkopf, the first, blue one is hair therapy moisture kick, and it moisturases your hair, smells good again :p the red one is hairtherapy amino cell rebuild, for damaged hair, repair rescue intense spray conditioner and it also smell really good :) they're both BC bonacure, leave-in conditioner :)

Last thing is not a product, it's more like an item, my hairstraighteners

From Philips. Got these for my birthday. The temperature goes from 180-230 degrees by Celcius. And yeah i really like these. :)
Now a weird thing happened awhile ago, my friends found out about that blog and as i understood, some of them are reading it :D and in some reason i now think much more about what i'm writing here :D i'm glad i got some new readers tho :)

Everything!

Okay so i finally have a little bit of spare time to actually sit down and write something and since i still haven't got my makeup stuff (which i soon will get, hopefully) then i though i'd tell you some...stuff :) I am sorry that i haven't wrote anything for a while and you've been waiting, which you probably haven't but whatever :D i've just been super busy also my computer has been crashed and it still is so i'm at my granny's right now and writing that :D
The reason i've been so busy, and will be in the future for a while too is that i just have all the stuff come at me all in once and i just feel like i can't do this anymore, i just want to lay on a couch and do nothing, sadly it's not possible. I am doing my art school final work right now and i have to be at art school more the usually, which means sometimes more than 3 times a week and more than 4 hours at once. Also i have folk dancing and hip hop and our folk dancing teachers desided to make our trainings longer -.- Then our school has this show called playback, where each class copies a known music video and performs that on stage infront of other classes, so i have playback rehearsals too. And also my aunt with her two children from Germany came to Estonia to visit us so i have also been hanging out with them too, i really love these little cute boys :) And ofcourse the youtubers are going crazy with uploading their videos, which i have notying against to but just especially on Sundays, when there are like 6 new videos in one day and then i have to watch them all and comment them alland try to get noticed etc. and that takes a lot of time and laughing and effort too :P
I have found a new adicction thanks to Louise from Sprinkle of glitter and it's called Pinterest, i had the user before too but i had no idea what to do there but now since she is talking about that alot i desied to try and well now i'm kinda adiccted... If you want then you could follow my pinterest, i pin about fashion, cute stuff, makeup, quotes and ofcourse there are also fangirling pins :D
And i've found some new people and bands, i like, they're probably not new for you but well yeah.
First new person is Joey Graceffa i have seen his videos before but haven't really paid that much attention on him but now that everybody's uploading their Florida vlogs and he is in these too and he seems really cool, he was also in Zoe's latest video too, which btw cracked me up :D And anyway i have now been watching Joey's videos and they're really fun and i really really like him :)
Then there's Ed Sheeran, i really love his songs, they're so different and just chill, makes me feel good when i listen to them and they help me escape from that stressful world for a little while.
And then 5sos aka 5 Seconds Of Summer. i've seen people tweeting about 5sos alot and then i was like what the hell is that and then i googled it and found a cheeky boyband and also found out they're on tour with 1D! How can i be so stupid and just not know about them... And yeah i also really like their music and i probably have nothing else to write about them cause you all seem to know who they are and i'm the stupid one here :P
And last but definately not least is Bastille. Probably my favourite band at the moment And my favourite song is Pompeii, it's just so good and i could listen to it over and over again and never get tired of that (i know i will some day duh) So the way i discovered them is again through twitter and all the youtubers talk about them all the time and recently Marcus had Bastille in his Sunday Sounds post in his blog which included Pompeii too. And i just really love them :)
My next post should be soon, when i get my makeup stuff and then i'll probably do another review or someting, so please don't judge me for not posting that often anymore :)
Sorry if you like my makeup posts more, i just didn't have anything to write about and i was out of ideas, cause my own computer is crashed, like i said and that's where all my ideas were listed out.
I leave you with a quote picture from my pinterest, let that inspire you!  I think, this is very right cause there's no reason to worry about stupid stuff if it doesn't take you anywhere good :)
