Review: Klorane Nourishing Mask with Mango Butter Detangles


Hi loves, how have you all been. Today I have something for all the beauties with dry hair. I have been testing out Klorane Nourishing Mask with Mango Butter (150ml, 15.28€). This baby claims to do lot of things and I have been testing it out for months. This hair mask is for dry hair and comes in a plastic jar, which is bit see through and has a white cap. The first thing I noticed when I opened it up was the delicious mango smell and I'm not one who likes mangos, but I like this hair mask. 

Let's talk about the claims. It claims to nourish the hair, detangles the hair without weighing it down, protects the hair against the external aggressors, protects agains braking, protects against the drying effects of the sun, helps the hair's  ability to lock-in moisture and the formula is vegan.

Key ingredients are mango butter, which nourishes the hair. Another key ingredient is cationic complex, which adds shine to the hair and also helps to make it smooth.

It's formulated with out parabens, silicons, sulfates and sodium chloride. The formula feels light, even though it might not seem in the jar. It looks so rich and buttery, but in reality it feels light. It's easy to apply into the hair and you should keep on 5 to 20 minutes. 5 minutes when you don't need so deep nourishment and 20 minutes when the hair needs extra love and hydration. I usually leave it on for 5 minutes and it makes my hair look and feel fantastic.

It makes my hair look and feel amazing! It doesn't weigh it down, but I do have naturally dry hair, so it loves the nourishment and oils. My hairs motto is more oils the better. I have lot of hair and products usually don't weigh it down. I'm happy with this hair mask and would consider repurchasing it once it's over.

Review: Beauty Jar Brainstorm Cleansing & Purifying Scalp Scrub


Hi loves, I'm happy to share with you amazing discovery from Beauty Jar. I did got this sent as PR, but all my thoughts are 100% my own. I have their Brainstorm Cleansing & Purifying Scalp Scrub (100g, 2.90€). 

It's my first time trying the brand and I like their products are more natural. They don't use any colorants in their products and the scalp scrub contains 94.7% natural ingredients. Also there is no parabens or SLS in it.

It comes in a plastic tub, which is not ideal packaging in my oppinion. It's bit messy to use, but I don't see it fitting in to any other packaging either. 

It's formulated with ginger powder, almond oil, almond shell and bamboo powder. It does have slight ginger scent to it, which I do like. It smells so refreshing.

I try to use it once a week to deep cleanse my scalp. I wet the hair and massage it on to the scalp. After that I wash it off. It leaves my hair so soft, clean and it feels amazing. They do say to go in with a shampoo after that, but I have skipped it and gone in with a hair mask or conditioner. 


I'm so happy I had a chance to try Beauty Jar products. I do have some of their face masks to test out, which I'll be review soon. Their products are sold on Beauty Pro, which is Estonian online store and they do deliver in the EU. You can find this gem here, it amazing.

Top 5 Holy Grail Products


Hi loves! Today's post is my Top 5 Holy Grail Products. These products are all natural and I can see myself buying these over and over again.

First let's talk about the skincare products. I have been obsessing over D'Difference  Natural Beauty 4D Mild Cleansing Gel For Face & Eyes (link). Its my third bottle and it removes all my makeup gently. It doesn't irritate my eyes and does a good job cleaning my skin. I do need to use extra makeup remover when I use waterproof mascara or long lasting liner. Other then that it removes everything and is gentle to my skin. I see myself buying it over and over again.


The next item is the Aïcha Antioxidant Face Mask (link). This masks instantly brightens my skin and leaves it plumped. Its my first tube, but I'll be buying a new one when this one runs out.

Let's move on to hair and body care items. I bought to try Mulac Creme Berry 10 (link). It's intense hair mask, which keeps my hair soft and hydrated. It works like magic and my hair looks so much healthier when I use it. I have bleached hair and I need all the help I can get.

I absolutely adore Hoia Coffee & Peppermint Bodyscrub (link). It smells so good like coffee with hint of peppermint. It's handmade, makes my skin smooth and hydrated, which I love. I already have a backup of it :)


The last item in this line up is Ontic Minerals OnticPro Soft Shimmer Duo (link). Its Estonian brand and they make mineral makeup. This duo from them is absolutely stunning and best highlighter for my pale skin tone. If I ever manage to use it up I will definetly be repurchasing it. I don't think it would happen any time soon though.


These are the products I swear by! These all have high quality and make my skin, hair and body look amazing ;)


Have you tried any of these products?

Best Natural Beauty in 2017


Hi loves! Last year went by me so fast and in the beginning of every year I like to do ultimate favorites post. I haven't done any of natural beauty faves, so its time to share all the fantastic products I tried in 2017.

Makeup:

I have been loving Ontic Minerals and I tried so much from the last year. One of my favorites are their Mineral Bronzers and I have shade Sunblessed and Chocolicious (3g, 18.95€, review). These blend like a dream on skin and give the look of natural tan, at the same time both of these give a natural glow to the skin. Both shades are absolutely gorgeous and worth checking out, if you wanna try natural cosmetics or are on a market for new bronzer. 
Continuing with Ontic Minerals, I have also added new Mineral Eyeshadows from them in my collection (review). Their eyeshadows are beautiful, specially the loose eyeshadows. They are intense, blendable and the packaging is awesome (there is no mess when using these). Hopefully I can add more colors into my collection this year. They do have some fun colors as well, which I have my eye on. I try to add more color into my looks and not just wear nudes ;)
Next is also Estonian brand and its Le'Maagi. Last year I tried their Eyeshadow in shade 24K Gold (review). The formula of this shadow is one of the best I have tried. It feels so creamy to the touch and the pigmentation of it is out of this world. What you see in the pan is what you get on the lid. I don't own any other eyeshadow, which preforms so well and looks so intense. It makes me wanna get every single shadow they make and see if all their shadows are so brilliant.

Next fave is from Bellapierre Cosmetics and its their Mineral Lipstick in shade Catwalk (review). The shade Catwalk is perfect everyday pinky nude. It goes well with any eye look, feels comfortable on lips and its long lasting for creamy lipstick. I already have picked up few more shades into my collection, which I'll share with you guys this year for sure, keep an eye out for that ;)


Skincare:

Lets continue with skincare faves and this year I didn't find many products to obsess over. One this, which is unique and worth mentioning is  Domina Elegans Golden Beauty Mask (review). This is a gel mask, which bubbles up when applied and get out all the dirt from the skin. I could feel it and my skin looked and felt amazing after using it (its also Estonian beauty brand). I have one of their other masks to try, but this is in my list of skincare items I wanna repurchase.

Next 2 items are from Aïcha and both have been new finds. I love their Cream Milk Cleanser and Salt Face Scrub (review). Both products are gentle to the skin. The cleanser is such a nice step in the morning to cleanse the skin and I love it doesn't dry out my skin and this applies to both products. If I want more hydration I remove the cleanser with toner. The scrub is brilliant as well. It gently remove off all the dirt and leaves my skin soft, smooth and hydrated. With both of these products I haven't felt any uncomfortable tightness on skin, which happens with so many other cleanser.  






Hair & Body:

Best hair care find this year is Blessix Hair Silk + Vitamins (review). This is also Estonian beauty brand, which I discovered when I was in Ilu Mess (its Estonian beauty event).  This is used on wet hair, before blowdrying. This gem provides hydration to the hair and also protects against the heat. Every time I use it my hair looks so shiny, healthy and its so much easier to tame it. My hair can be hard to work with, because its naturally dry and wavy. 

I have also used it on dry hair and that way it also works for me. It instantly hydrates, gives it shine and makes in manageable. I feel like I don't need to use as much hair oil when I have this hair spray in my routine.
The last awesome natural beauty product I discovered this year is Hoia Lavender, Rosemary & Grapefruit Bodywhip (review). If you are on a lookout for good hydrating body products, this is it. This feels light weight when scooped up and turns into oil when applied on skin. It keeps my skin hydrated all day and the next day and the next day. Its best thing ever!




This is all the awesome products I discovered this year. I'm so in love with every single one and highly recommend any of these items.

Review: Blessix Hair & Face Serum


Hi loves! I have natural dry hair and now that its color treated I need even more nourishment. I have been using Blessix Hair & Face Serum (11ml, 9.00 EUR). This can also be used on face, but I have used it only in my hair.


The serum comes in a little glass bottle and has a dropper. You might think its too small bottle, but I have used it since October and I still haven't used up half of it. I use 4 drops of it in my hair and it makes the end of my hair look I just got a fresh hair cut.

I don't know why it says serum as it is actually oil. It does sink into the skin and hair fast, doesn't feel heavy and nourishes, in my case my hair. It doesn't have any scent to it, so beauties with sensitive skin can use it too (if you want to use it as facial oil). 

I'm so happy I have this in my hair oil collection. It keeps the end of my hair looking healthy, nourished and the ends don't brake as fast. I do use quite a lot of heat on my hair. If you are interested checking it out, you can do so here.

Review: Blessix Hair Silk + Vitamins


Hi loves! Last time I was in Estonia I picked up  Blessix Hair Silk + Vitamins (200ml, €14.90), you can see the haul post here. Its a new to me Estonian beauty brand, which makes natural skincare, hair and body care products. I have 2 more items from them to test out, so keep an eye on the blog for upcoming posts, but now lets continue with this review.

This is perfect for dry, weak and damaged hair. I have color treated hair, which already is dry, so I definetly need this. It contains silk, panthenol, calcium panthotenate and vitamins A, E, B8 and H. These all give hair beautiful shine, makes it smooth and hydrates. It also protects the hair from hot and could (perfect for winter). 

How to use: Before using it gently shake to bottle. On the package it says to spray into wet or slightly damp hair. It fill protect the hair from heat, if you wanna use hairdryer. 

I have used it on dry hair as well and it makes it soft and give it shine. It provides instant hydration to my hair and makes it look healthier. Also it makes my hair smell so good :)

I also have noticed with this spray, that my hair is easy to comb through whenever I use it.  Another thing to keep in mind is that it lasts only 18 months from production date. 


I'm so happy I got this product. It has been wonderful and I have noticed chances in my hair from the first use. This is perfect for dry hair type, if you are interested I'll link it here. Its at the moment out of stock, but it should be back first of November.

Top 5 favorite Aïcha products


Hi loves! Today I have for you my top 5 Aïcha products, which I all have purchased with my own money. There is no affiliate links and its not sponsored in any way.

Lets start with skincare items and first is their Anti-Aging Argan Cream (50ml, review). All the ingredients are natural in it and its wonderful base for makeup application. After applying it, it leaves my skin matte and my makeup goes on so much better. Also it can be used in the evenings and I like to add few drops beauty oil in it for more hydration and nourishment for the night time.


My other favorite is their Pure Organic Argan Oil (50ml, review), which can be used on hair, body and remove the makeup. I use it only to remove my makeup and when traveling I do use it to hydrate my skin as well. It nourishes my eye area and melts away all my makeup, even the suborn eyeliner.

Now lets continue with hair care items and first is their Hair Treatment Serum (30ml, review) with argan oil. Its the first item I have tried from them and I have already used up 2 bottles and I do need to buy a new one. It is better then any hair oil. It gives my hair shine, takes care of the frizz and makes it feel softer. I also like it doesn't make my hair as oily then a hair oil would, so I don't need to wash my hair so often. I have naturally dry hair and this has been something I use every day.


My last two favorites from the brand is their Argan Shampoo (330ml) & Conditioner (300ml, review), which is with pro vitamin B5. It cleanses my hair well, but doesn't dry out my hair or my scalp. The conditioner makes my hair silky and soft. It just wonderful duo and my mom got me on it. According to her its the best shampoo and conditioner she has ever tried and I have to agree with her. I always come back to it :)



I hope you guys enjoyed this post :) If you have any questions leave them down below. You can find all the products on Aïcha's webpage, which you can access here.

Review: Aïcha Pure Organic Extra Virgin Argan Oil


Hi loves! This week I have for you guys amazing product which can be used so many ways and I had it with me when I was in Rome. I'm talking about Aïcha Pure Organic Extra Virgin Argan Oil (50ml, 34.95 EUR).


The packaging as usual is beautiful and stunning! It also comes with a pump, which makes it super easy to use and it pumps out just right amount of product. I love I can use it on my hair, hydrate my skin and it also melts away all my makeup. 


Its 100% extra virgin argan oil and sinks into the skin fast and the formula of it is more to the runny side. I like to use it mostly to remove my eye makeup, which is stubborn and doesn't come off easily, specially when I wear smudge proof liner. I like how soft and hydrated my eye area feels after using it. Its also great to moisturize my skin. I like to use it on my hands and legs when I need extra hydration boost.

Its also great to use on hair. It instantly hydrates the hair and tames the frizz, which is constant battle for me. It also gives my hair lovely shine.



I got it as part of my birthday gift from my mom and this oil has been wonderful! Its specially great to have with me when traveling. I love how fast it sinks into the skin and I can use it so many ways.


If you are interested I'll link the magical oil here and they do ship worldwide.

Wishlist: Estonian Beauty


Hi loves! I haven't lived in Estonia for sometime now (around 7 years) and in Estonia lately there is so many natural beauty brands and I want to try everything :D So here is my wishlist at the moment!

Lets start out with Joik and I have reviewed few of their products on my blog before. I have tried their their bath products, which you can read about here and here. I have my eye on their Citrus Bath Truffles (310 g, 12,00 €, link).

This pictures is from Joik.eu

I can imagine how refreshing this will smell. I love citrus scent on bath and body products. This is suitable for dry skin, which is exactly what my skin will need upcoming season. I love colder months to take bath, I find it so relaxing.

Next Joik item in my list is their Shower Oil Fresh (200 ml, 15,73 €, link). The name already makes me want to try it and it claims to wash gently and thats what my skin will need upcoming season. Its with avocado and grape seed oil, which sounds like it will be so moisturizing to the skin.

Next is their Cleansing Facial Foam with Cucumber & Watercress Extracts & Aloe Juice (150 ml, 18,50 €, link). I like foam cleansers, because on colder months they seem more gentle on the skin. It claims to balance and restore the skin.

I'm trying out at the moment Turbliss toner, which I'll talk about next week, but I do have other products I would love to try from them, like their Illuminating Peat Water with 24K Gold (100 ml, link). I like it can be used on face and hair. 

This picture is from Turbliss.eu

I'm in love with body oils. I feel body oils sink into the skin so much faster then butters and instantly hydrate the skin. I can't wait to get my hands on Turbliss Firming and Enlivening Body Oil (link). Its 100% natural and when applied to damp skin, it claims to sink in fast. The packaging looks cute too :)

The last item from them on my wishlist is their Magical Berry Oil (10ml, link). It contains vitamin E and A, and is for 30+. I'm in love with facial oils and its a must have step in my skincare routine. I like this is suitable to use around eyes and lips as well.

The picture is from Turbliss.eu


This is it for my wishlist :) Have you tried any of these products before? Let me know in the comments below if you have and whats your thoughts.

Beauty Haul: Olivolio Botanics, Olivia, Mastic Spa


Hi loves! Today I have for you natural beauty haul and all the products mentioned here are from Greece. I had no idea how many natural beauty brands Greece has to offer. I picked up most of the products from a store called Natura Greca (link, they had that time I was there 20% off). They were so helpful when I wanted to check out every brand they had in store and the selection was huge. Its located in Rhodes, which is gorgeous place for vacation and shopping new skincare ;)

I picked up 3 products from brand called Olivolio Botanics. First 2 items are from their Argan Oil range and you guys already know how much I love beauty products with argan oil in it. I got their 100% Moroccan Organic Argan Oil Hair Mask (250 ml, 10.90 EUR - full price) and its for all hair types and promise to nourish and hydrate the hair. I like on package their say the product is made of dreams :)


The second item from the same argan range is a skincare item and I got their Restoring & Firming Serum (30 ml, 22.90 EUR), which is also with 100% Moroccan Organic Argan Oil. Its not tested on animals and it promises to give long lasting hydration, which my skin needs at the moment. I totally got burned on the beach :/ My skin can't take Greece sun for 5 hours.

The last item from the brand is a body butter and its their Donkey Milk (250 ml, 14.90), which smelled so good in the store that I needed it! Its extra moisturizing body butter, which fits all skin types.


Then I picked up a face mask from brand called Mastic Spa and its their Deep Hydra Mask (50 ml). Its for 27+ and its for dehydrated skin. My skin is more oily, but when I picked it up I had sunburn and my skin felt really dry. I'll let you guys know once I have try it. I like its peel off mask, it makes it bit different then other hydrating masks I have tried.

These next items I picked up in a pharmacy, but the brand is available in the store I picked up other items. I went in for sunscreen and ended up buying some body care items as well. My first pick was Olivia Beauty & The Olive Tree Shower Gel (300 ml). I have already used it and absolutely love it! Its rich with vitamin E and the formula is gentle to the skin.

The next item is from the same brand its also for body. I picked their Ultra Lightweight & Hydrating Creamy Body Butter Melon & Pepper (200 ml, 8 EUR). Its sounds interesting, but I can't even imagine how the scent is and I don't want to open it before I use up my other body cream. Its going to be a surprise for me :D 


The last 2 items are also from Olivia and its their Shampoo for norma hair (300 ml, it was in a gift set with the shower gel and was around 14 EUR) and Conditioner for dry and dehydrated hair (300 ml, 8 EUR). 


I feel I got something for every part of my body, but there was so much more to try. I did hold myself back with the shopping, but I'll definitely go back, if its not available where I'm located. Greece also has to offer good food and the weather was amazing! I have lived in Netherlands/Belgium so long that, when there is more then 3 days blue sky it surprises me. 


Anyway, I hope you guys like this post and I'll see you in my next one!

Review: Aïcha Argan Shampoo & Conditioner


Hi loves! Today's post is bit different, as I'm sharing my mom's experience with Aïcha Argan Shampoo (330 ml, 20.95 EUR) & Conditioner (300 ml, 22.95 EUR). Both are with pro vitamin B5. I bought this set for my mom as a christmas gift and she has been so happy with the shampoo and conditioner, that I needed to share her thoughts with you guys.

Both shampoo and conditioner come in a squeeze tube packaging. I personally would like to see it with a pump, but thats just me. I do like the design of the packaging and how eye catching it is.

My mom's hair is very dry and this range is perfect for dry, dyed, damaged, dull or flat hair. These 2 gems make my mom's hair so much softer and she even told me that no other shampoo and conditioner has made her hair so soft (she is in her early sixties). She also said her hair holds better, the hair has more elasticity to it and she doesn't need to use as much hair oil. She felt her hair was overall more hydrated and its gentle for the scalp, which I 100% agree with.

I have used this shampoo and conditioner few times when I visited my mom. First I used Body Shop Banana shampoo, which my mom did like at that time (before trying Aïcha products) and it irritated my scalp so much. My scalp got so itchy and dry and then I tried the Aïcha shampoo and conditioner and it soothed my scalp right away and after first wash the itchiness and dryness left my scalp. I also noticed how deeply it cleansed my hair.

The formula is with 100% organic argan oil and is free of parabens, SLS and SLES. Its not tested on animals and is hypoallergenic.


My mom already asked me to get her new set for her and I plan to get one for myself as well :) At the moment I'm testing out their Argan Anti-Aging Cream, which is amazing and my oily skin loves it. There will be full review on it soon ;)

If you are interested in the shampoo and conditioner I link it here, so you can check it out. If you buy the shampoo and conditioner together its 39.95 EUR and they do ship world wide. The shipping in west of Europe is around 10 EUR, it depends how heavy is the package. Rest of the Europe is around 16 EUR, again it depends how heavy is the package. 


Have you tired their products before?
