My Top 5 Beauty Products ATM

Hey people! How's it going? It was the last day of scool for me today and now we have a week off, despite the crappy weather, I'm feeling good :) Anyway, as I was thinking of blog posts to write I came up with this one, I feel like I have some essentials right now that I'd really like to share with you, so, let's get going!

Okay, let me start off with probably one of the most hyped product lately - the Rimmel wake me up foundation. I got it about a month ago and from then on, we've been unseperatable. I honestly wear it every day, except the days we have P.E. because I don't like heavy makeup on these days. I think this foundation is perfect if you don't want full coverage but it can also be build-able if you like.

Burt's Bees has seriousely been a staple of mine from way back since I got it. With autumn weather which means cold, moist and unpleasant, a lip balm is a must! This one is with mango butter and I adore the smell of it. I probably just apply it any time is see it which counts up to really many times during a day. And it's 100% natural, what more could you ever ask for!

Next is my favourite mascara at the moment. True, I do indeed curl my lashes before with lash curler but I honestly feel like it's the mascara that gives and keeps the nice curl in my lashes. Plus, I rarely get any clumps with the Rocket mascara and if you apply more than one coat it can even look like you have fake lashes on. I really love Maybelline mascaras, I think the package is really nice, the name just calls me to buy it and the quality is super too.

Lastly I have two shades from my Too Faced palette (you can see the palette in the first picture) First is called Like a Virgin and for me it's a universal colour. I use it under my eyes, in the outer corner to give some depth to my eyes. Also my eyebrows get done with this one. This is the perfect taupe colour that works for just about anything. 

Second colour from the palette is Leading Lady. I haven't payed much attention to this before but couple of weeks ago I discovered it and I have loved it ever since. It's a nice rose gold colour that looks gorgeous on lids and also you could use it under eyes, in the inner corner to give the eyes some sparkle. The 'Like a Virgin' is a matte and 'Leading Lady' is a shimmer shade.

So I guess this is my top 5 products at the moment. I have to tell you, it was really hard for me to decide between Burt's Bees and Rimmel stay matte but eventually soft lips came on top :)

Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful day!

My Current Wishlist

Hello! I just realised that I haven't done a wishlist post for quite a long time. And I actually have a little note page on my phone which I constantly update, basically I write there all the things that I feel like I would need. So I'm now going to share these wants with you guys :)

1. So I start off with a thing that has been in my wishlist posts for atleast 3 times, yeah I'm talking about the Tangle Teaser. I still haven't bought it! I feel like my hair would be really grateful for me when I finally buy it in the nearest future because right now it's very damaged. It might come from brushing my hair when it's wet, I can feel how it's breaking my hair but I still feel the need to do it. I'd like to get the one that comes with some of the macadamia oil products, I'm not sure which ones are in the little pack there.

2. Then the next thing is Marc Jacobs new perfume Honey. I smelled it at a shop and it was literally amazing! Kinda...hoping to get it for Christmas hehe.

3. I also have two Real Techniques brush sets that I'd really love to get. I actually don't own any Real Techniques bushes right now *shocked* but they're so so good and I would really like to get the Starter Set and the Duo-Fiber Collection. The duo-fiber is limited edition, WHY?! And omg I only recently found out that these brushes are by Nick and Sam Chapman! :O

4. Another thing in my wishlist is Lash Food. If you have not heard from it then it's basically a clear liner that you apply just like, well, liner and it should thicken and elongate your lashes. I've seen some of these before and after photos and the results really are amazing.

5. It's autumn, which means that the candle season has ofically began. I know that some people like to burn candles all year long but for me they're more like autumny, Chistmasy stuff. So in Estonia we have this company called JOIK and it makes a delicious scented candles(and some other things too). I'd love to buy a nice autumn scent. These candles really do fill up the room with the scent that you have, as I know that some cheaper versions might smell nice when you smell them closely but when you burn them, it gives nothing.

6. Eye cream is something that even people in my age should have in their skincare routine - as I again recently found out. I read that it helps to prevent the wrinkles around your eye area and with eye cream you should also have less wrinkles when you're older. And it keeps eyes looking a lot more fresh and you a lot more awake. The one that I'd want is either Lush or Joik

7. Onto makeup wishes, first thing is Maybelline color tattoo. And the colours that really caught my eye are bad to the bronze and pomegrante punk, very fall colours.  ( I just like the word fall better than autumn..)

8. I would love to buy all kinds of metallic and dark purple and navy colour nailplolishes to really get the autumn on my nails too. But a little while ago I saw Tanya Burr wearing China Glaze shocking pink in some kind of picture and it looked amazing so now I'm really eager to buy this shade even though it's a summery colour.

9. Nude lipstick is something that I do not have but I would love to wear it. And as I'm very impressed with the pigmentation and overall quality of the Rimmel Kate Moss red lipstick then why not to try a nude colour from the Kate Moss collection.

10. And the last thing for now is again from Rimmel. It's their Scandal Eyes retro Glam mascara. The wond looks so good, it's like this little hourglass shape and it should work well with lashes.

So I hope you guys liked this little update post on my wishlist, as you can see, I want a lot of things! Let me know in the comments what do you think of the products in my list, should I try these? 

I actually have one more update post in mind and it should be the updated what's in my makeup bag, so keep your eyes peeled for that ;)

25 Facts About Me

Well hello there! Another quite a long brake has been in my posts, not as long as the last one though but I've still missed blogging. It's just that my time kinda like disappears, and I have no idea where it goes. But anyway, I've seen this tag floating around the blog world and also the youtube world for quite a long time and I always like to read/watch these kind of things. So I hope you'll like it and I'm sure you'll find out more stuff about me, even the people who I know in real life :)

1) I used to go to acting class for couple of years.

2) I can do the cup song and I can also sing the lyrics (well not sing because I don't have a good voice)

3) When I was in first, second, third and maybe even fourth grade I really wanted to become a teacher, how original I know.

4) I now want to become either interior designer or makeup artist and ofcourse I'd love to travel A LOT!

5) I'm dreaming of going on an exchange student year after tenth grade aka in two years. I don't know exactly where but some ideas are USA, Australia or South Africa.

6) I used to hate the thought of getting a car licence, driving seemed so dangerous and I was terrified at the thought of some day I'll have to make them and drive around with a real car, so when everybody else were talking about really wanting to get them, I was like mhm mhmm...NO! Now I absolutely can't wait to get them.

7) I am cra-zy about England and all the things that have something to do with that country, I just am, I seriousely can't explain why.

8) I bloody hate NARS product names, and no, we don't even have NARS in Estonia but as much as I've heard then they're really gross. I mean like come on, deep throat and orgasm for blush not really appropriate now, is it?!

9) I go through makeup removers like it's nothing. I can honestly use up a whole normal size (200ml) bottle with less than a month!

10) In June, 2013 I graduated art school. I had been studying there for 5 years. For the last 3 years of art school I also studied art history.

11) I love watching youtubers (and kinda stalking them online too) I'd really love to meet some of them.

12) My dream is to one day live in England somewhere near London or in London

13) I love dancing. I go to 3 different kind of dancing lessons - hip hop, folk and zumba. Can I count zumba into dancing? I will anyway.

14) Our family used to have a dog, well actually he was more of my great-granny's dog but he lived with us so, yeah. His name was Palli and when he died he was like 14 or 15 years old I think.

15) I'd really love to know what the world will look like after about 1000 years from now but we all know that this isn't possible for this generation, duh. That's why I secretly hope that there IS life after death and then I could haunt around and see what the whole world looks like.

16) I can be really weird and just have these kind of weirdness moments. But I can also be very quiet and barely talk to anyone.

17) All kinds of bees and wasps and the bugs that can sting me freak me out. whenever I see one near me I literally run, I know you're not supposed to do that and you should actually stand still but I physically can't, the thought of that yellow thing flying around me is simply terrifying.

18) I love nailpolishes.

19) I have never injured myself badly. I think the worst one that I have had is that in a dance rehersal my knee came out of it's joint for a second and then it klicked right back in. It bloated up quite badly and obviousely it hurt a lot. For about 4-5 days I couldn't dance, I still could walk but it was really painful. Anyway, it wasn't even serious enough for me to have to go to the hospital. Since my grandma works at the hospital she told me to put a gabbage leaf on my knee during night time. After a week it was all good but I still couldn't do all kinds of exercises.

20) I don't really like peanut butter, I can maybe eat it with some foods but it definately wouldn't be my fisrt choice, Nutella is way better haha.

21) I have been to Latvia, Russia, Finland, Sweden (all Estonia's neighbour countries), Lithuania, Germany and Egypt.

22) I kinda go nuts when I'm shopping and then I have no control what so ever over the money I have. I do feel bad about splurging so much when I get home and realise what I have done.

23) This year I have decided to really study hard and try my very best to get good grades, I think that the fact that if I have good grades then I'll have a better chance of going on an exchange year motivates me the most. I've already given up with chemistry though, it's just something that my brain doesn't get.

24) I can't wait to start decoratig my room with Christmas stuff. Infact every year I go all Christmas-crazy at the beginning-ish of Octorer. For exaple, couple of days ago I started listening to "Shake up christmas" and I full on sang along.

25) I have had this post saved in my drafts for ages and I gradually built up the facts here, it was because I wanted to come up with some more interesting facts not like oh my name is Merilin by the way etc.

So that is all for my 25 facts. And I tag everybody who haven't done it yet, I'm looking forward to reading your posts because as I said, I like doing it ;)
