Beauty Tips For Girls

Hey guys! So yesterday i went to a little event called Beauty Tips For Girls. and when i say little, i mean little, there was about 15 of us i think, i went there with my 2 friends. there were 3 ladies talking to us about hair, nails, makeup and all this kind of beauty stuff :) while i was there i thought that i could make a blog post about it, i learned some new stuff, obviousely some of the thigs they talked about, i already knew.

Okay so first hair:
*They said that if you want to colour your hair on your own, without going to the salon and if you want to go black, then one of the worst to use is Palette, palette black is really intense and if you want to go any different colour later, it's gonna be really hard, they did not recommend it at all.
*They did say tho that first time ever colouring your hair you should definately go to a salon
*did you know that blondes have about 150 000 hairs, brunettes have about 100 00 hairs and redheads have about 50 000 hairs in their head, there's about 3000 hairs in 1cm2.
*You should wash your hair every other day or less, washing every day isn't good.
*You should change your shampoo atleast once a year (i do it after every time i run out of a bottle)
*Always use conditioner, when you make your hair wet, it will open your hair so that it would go clean, you use shampoo, which leaves the hair open, when you put conditioner, it will close the hair and the dirt won't get in. (imagine your hair string as a spruce cone) if you spray conditioner after, it will only make good, only that wouldn't be enough tho.
*did you know that after about 3 months without washing your hair, it will start cleaning itself
*Cutting your hair won't make it grow faster
*Hair grows in 2-10 years period, after that your hair will stop growing, that's why some people have normally longer hair than others.
*Don't wear pony tail all the time, it will damage your hair.
*When you straigten or blow dry, ALWAYS use heat protection, again it won't damage your hair that much then.
* If you're in a camp or some place with no water for a while and you maybe don't have dry shampoo, starch or baby powder will work the same.

On to nails:
*Always use base coat, if you don't then that's probably why your nails are yellow.
*Gel nails isn't the best choice, it will damage your own nail so much and now they have a theory that the UV lamp, they use, might cause cancer
*if you want gel nails, then a gel polish would be a better go.
*You know when the skin starts to come on your nail? then to push it away, don't use metallic tool, prefer wood or plastic or you can even do it with your own nails. 
*when the nail skin is really dry and hard, don't cut (or even worse bite) it off, just use some creams that will soften it up.
*Don't bite your nails, it's not good for them and well it doesn't look pretty at all.

Lastly makeup:
*Test foundation colour on your chin line
*Always remove makeup before sleep, it makes you look so much older in the future and the skin must be able to breathe.
*they said that you should actually remove makeup right after school but i'm way too lazy for that.
*Drink LOTS of water, it makes skin much healthier looking and feeling.
*When you have had a bit of sun burn on your face or you skin is just dry, then don't use foundation, it will show off much more.
*Foundation or any product is always better if it has SPF.
*did you know that there are pinky and yellowish tones of foundation, you have to find out, which matches your skin tone better.
*Use different masks and moisturisers, they always make skin look much better and awake.

Now one lady took a model and showed makeup on her, and well my friend was picked as a model :) so i'm going to tell you a little bit about that too.
firstly she made sure, which tone of foundation goes with her skin, and she said you can either apply it with a brush, fingers or a little sponge, she used a sponge. after that she put on blush and then we moved on to eyes. pink colours are always a sure go, a bit more challenging colours are blue and purple. she picked pink and dark pink/brown. if you want to use eyeliner too, then you should always use atleast a little bit of eye shadow or it will leave a nice little stripe on the lid, you don't want that :D then she put on mascara and moved on to lips. if you have lips with no certain outer line, you can use lip liner but it isn't really recommended for younger people. she went for all pink look so the lips were pink too, lips were filled with a glossy pink lip gloss. If you want to make it look like you have bigger eyes then use white liner on the water line and on the lid, exactly at that place where the eye pupil is. also use white or light shade under eyebrows and well the place where i drew with pancil on the drawing, marks the light colour places :D (sorry about that nose)


In the picture you can also see a weird line from nose to eyebrow, that shows the shape and lengt that your eyebrows should be and always make your brows wider and bigger from the inner corner.
She also said that you can use white on chin, if it's too small and if anything's too big just use bronzer. 
So this is the finished look on the model :)
Just look at her hair :P

Beautiful Anita :)

30 Day Blog Challenge #26 / Review

Hey! So today's challenge is my favourite makeup product at the moment and i thought, it would be a great time to make a review. I've been thinking of reviewing this foundation for a while now but haven't had the time yet :)

What i'm talking about is Manhattan clear face foundation


It's natural mat makeup with SPF 15. Moisturising, light coverage, slightly mattifying. I love this foundation, it's in 70 vanilla and i find this matching well with my skin tone. I bought it for 6€ and i think it's really cheap for so good product. It blends in quite easily. the tube says light coverage, that's what it is, so if you're looking for a bit heavier coverage then you can just use powder with the foundation.

The only thing that i'd probably change about the packaging is that i don't really like how you get it out of the tube. it's so liquidy and then even with a slightest sqeeze it just flies all over the place and then i've got too much of it on my hand and, it's just a waste of product. so what i would do is that i would put a pump and it would be much easier to get it out. 


Over all i love this foundation and the fact that it's got SPF 15 is just a huge bonus in summer because let's face it, who remembres to put sun cream on face and we all hate when it gets all burned and stuff.

I've got some news again too :) i just added another section on my blog called Button sharing. You can go check it out, it's mainly for people with their own blog and would like to swap buttons with me. i already did it with Beauty To Bakes (you should go see her blog, it's really good) as you can see and i think it's such a good idea to get your blog for more people to see :) so if you're interested, go check it out! :)

April Favourites

Hello, i know i'm a little late with this post but i just haven't had time to write a proper, long post so let's begin :) I'm gonna say i'm sorry right in the beginning, there won't be a photo of the shampoo and the parfume because my stupid, extremly, sloth slow computer desided that it would be better not to let me upload these photos today. but luckily you can see them in the picture up above :)

First thing is this Midollo di bamboo, restructuring shampoo, Alfaparf Milano. i'm not so sure about which of the three things i just called it is the name, it's a really weird bottle but the stuff inside it is just amazing, i have this kind of hair that i should wash it every day but i don't cause i know it's bad for hair and bla bla bla, so i wash every other day and my hair is super greasy by the afternoon of the other day but with this shampoo i still wash every other day but my hair doesn't look that bad then. there is one downside and it's that it stinks, it really doesn't smell good it even kinda makes me sick but i just love the shampoo so i'm still using it.

next it Kate Moss parfume Wild Meadow, it smells amazing and i really have nothing else to say about that :)

Then i've got this Wet n Wild nailpolish megalast and it's name is E2093 Candy-licious. Not going to say anything else about that too cause i already talked abot it in my older post.

Now a new thing is Rimmel Match Perfection skin tone adapting concealer, it's 2 in 1 concealer & highlighter in shade 030 Classic Beige. that is super good concealer, it covers up so good yet makes it look really natural.

Last thing from makeup is Manhattan clear face compact powder in 76 sand and it is dermatologically tested, just a fun fact i thought i'd throw it out for you :p anyway i love love love this powder, i have a really light skin and usually i can't find any tones that match mine but this powder had so many different tones that everybody finds their true match :) i was really stuck with my last powder that i used, i thought i'd buy the same again cause i really loved it and thought that there's nothing better but i'm glad that i tried a new one, it really is better than the rimmel one that i had, it has a thing to apply it with but i still prefer to use a brush.


The not makeup stuff that i have loved is

firstly through this whole month i have done Jillian Michales 30 day shred. if you don't know what it is then well i watch it from youtube, actually she has a DVD but anyway it's a training programme it lasts 30 days and it includes 3 levels, each lasts for 10 days. you have to do a workout every day, it is about 25 long minutes so it doesn't take much out of your day and that's what i love about it.other thing that i love is that it's really simple but it works so good, i did the same thing last summer too and then it worked even better for me, i lost more kg than this time but yeah, try it, it's super. This is the 1st level and you can see all the other levels on youtube in the sidebar.

Secondly, i'm crazy about JLS right now, i've heard about them before but i never was a huge fan. Through April tho i have been loving their music so much and i felt absolutely devastated when i heard thet they split up, i really hope that they realise that they can't do solo and that they will go back together :) i've mentioned them so much in my posts already so i guess it was pretty obvious that i love them :)

Next thing is another youtuber Marcus Verdi, his channel is Permanent Marcus. he is not a big youtuber, he's got 60 subs but the videos are really great and relatable so if you could check him out, i linked him before then i hope you start watching his videos and if you subscribe then i'll give you a delicious cookie that is really warm because it just came out of the oven ;)

Lastly but not leastly a thing that i have literally loved is writing this blog right here, today i just hit 1500 views and i've got 11 followers which for me is incredible :)
So everybody who are in this picture, Thank you, you made my day when you followed me and for that i give you another warm cookie, they're delicious :) I'm also really happy about all the nice comments that i have gotten and yeah i really love writing this blog, i'm really happy that i started and i hope to continue cause i'm usually the type of person who doesn't really finish anything :D

Whhooh, it took me a whole 3 hours to write this one post here, it's because my computer just kept crashing and i don't have my sister's iPad (that isn't really iPad, it's from Samsung) here so i had to use this computer and it was really really slow and stuff but i finally made it, hope you liked this post :)

Friday Wants #1


Heyy :) IT IS FRIDAY!!! :) I thought i'd start a weekly post thing and i called it Friday Wants, here i post 3 things that i have wanted this week: 1) something from accesories
                            2) something from fashion
                            3) something from makeup/skin
I hope you like this idea and here is the first post of this series :p

From accesories i want this bag from accesorize :)
I've been wanting a bag for a while already cause my old one is literally just falling apart and i saw this bag in accesorize but i didn't have the money to buy it then, it costs 59€, i know it's very expensive but i hope to get it next time i go there. i really love it and it's perfect for school or when i need to take more stuff with me somewhere. the bag's name is Ooh La La Weekender

From fashion i want heels
they're not the ones i want, i just chose a cute picture for my blog :) I don't really know which ones i want, infact i don't even know which colour i want, i need them for my art school graduation (i don't know if i can call it graduation but i'm gonna do it anyway) and i have a black dress and i want some colourful shoes with that but i have no idea which...

Finally from makeup/skin i want Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter

 It costs £10.50 from Soap and Glory and i really want to try this, seems like such a good thing :) i've never tried anything soap and glory but as much as i've heard or read they're really good and for me they already look so good and cute it just invites you to buy, doesn't it!

So anyway that was my first friday wants and i hope to continue if you like it :)
Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend, summer is not far anymore at all! xxx

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 :)

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 :)

March Favourites

Now you might or might not think that i stole this idea from Louise cause she just posted her March favourites video today too. But i didn't, i had this idea since i made this blog, that i will do a March favourites post. So i linked you Louise's video before and if you already haven't watched it then 1)what is wrong with you? and 2)you should totally watch it. Because it's amazing and she is amazing and like always, she looks amazing :)
Okay so now i made a whole novell about how amazing Louise is and i think, i should get to my March favoutites then.

                                                  So the first thing is this Schwarzkopf conditioner.
It is the one that the proffessional hairdressers use too. It's BC hairtherapy moisture kick.
 You spray it in your hair and you leave it there too. This is very nice because firstly it really leaves your hair really easy to comb through and gives them a nice shiny effect. It also smells really nice and leaves the smell in your hair the whole day, so if you don't like that your hair has a smell then this probably isn't for you.

Then there is the lipstick, that i wrote about in my makeup and skincare proucts post.
And this is a nice corally, pinky lipstick from Bourjois and i've really been enjoying it through the whole March.

This was also in that post, it's Pupa highlighter.
I don't have it right now, cause i ran out of it and i must say, it's quite a disaster for me, because i bought myself a cover stick but it's far not as good as this one, and soon my mum's friend should come here and we get a little bargain through her and then i'll get a new one, i really hope it's soon...

Again a product from my older post, Maybelline mascara.
That gives my lashes a really great effect and with the eyelash curler it makes my eyes look much bigger. It says it gives you the falses effect, now i wouldn't actually say that cause it just didn't make my lashes long and thick enough to look like falses, but actually i wouldn't like that so much too, i find that false lashes don't always look that good. And i am very pleased with that product. (also just found out that it's the same that Tanya Burr uses and Zoe bought it rom America too)

And this is the lip balm i made a review on, from Oriflame. 
Here, i've really got nothing else to say than buy it! Just go and buy it, you won't regret it, it's really that good.

This i the Rimmel powder Match Perfetion.
Now today i just realised, i'm running out of that one too...crap. My mum's friend really has to come soon and get me all this stuff. This is the best powder i've ever used and if you find one, that matches your skin tone, then you'll love it.  It gives a nice matt effect to your face and blends in really easily.

This is my favourite parfume at the moment, it's the NafNaf Fashion Instinct
It smells really nice but in my opinion the only down side is that it doesn't last that long, so i have to spray it on multiple times in one day, but all the other ways, it's really great.

I am in looove with this Playboy shower gel right now.
It's Playboy VIP shower gel Glam & Rich. It smells absolutely amazing! And it has a really nice texture, it's not too liquidly and it's not too thick too and it leaves my skin smelling so good after the shower.


Then from food, my favourite in March is definately Caesars salad. Because it is really good and it's healthy so what could be better than good and healthy together? It's a nice fresh food and doesn't leave you feel too heavy after you've eaten it.

From youtubers, i think there's no point to even start because they're all the same: Zoe, Louise, Alfie, Marcus, Caspar, Chai, Tyler, Jim, Tanya, Jack and Finn etc. Also the channels that i like and which are featuring some of those youtubers are GWRomg and DailyMixTV
Right now is the absolute best time to watch them, cause basically every day they're uploading a vlog about their trip to Florida and i just really enjoy watching them and ofcourse they make me jealouse cause the videos are full of extremly lucky fans getting to meet those youtubers and take pictures with them.
Now there's a youtuber in my list, Chai, he is a really funny guy and makes amazing videos but he doesn't have much subscribers, which ofourse doesn't mean anything but just that if you don't know him, then you should definately watch him beause he is hilarious and he is really kind too :)

So i hope you liked my first favourites post and my blog is about to hit 500 views!! *party* just kidding. But yes, only 10 views missing from 500 :P Thank you, who really do read my posts and if you like them then i'm really happy :)

I have a little something to tell you too, i just found out, how to add the follow button to my blog (join this site) and i'm not pushing anybody to press it, but if you like my blog and you enjoy reading it, then you can hit that button and get an email notification every time, i make a new post :) Again, i'm not pushing anybody to do that, but it would make me super duper mega happy, to even get one! :) I hope you liked my first beauty related post, it was a bit difficult to make and i don't really know how to do that, so if you have any tips or something, what i could do differently, then let me know and i'll try to make the new one better :)
