Review: Nature Republic Aqua Super AquaMax Cream

Hi loves! I have been testing out Kbeauty brand Nature Republic. Its my fist time trying their products and I have been testing out their Aqua Super Aqua Max Cream (80ml, 8.64 EUR). Before jumping into this review I wanna let you know I have oily skin type and my skin is not sensitive.

It comes in a super cute packaging! I love the  green jar ( which is glass) its in and the cap of it makes it the cutest thing ever. The cap looks like the the cream inside (water gel). The formula of the cream is like a gel, which sinks into the skin effortlessly. It feels very refreshing and cooling on skin. It protects the skin from external environment by forming a moisture film over the skin. Hyaluronic acid helps to keep the skin moisture levels up longer.

I use it as a last step in my skincare routine. Its my morning moisturizer. You can see my morning skincare routine here, if you are interested. It sinks into the skin instantly and keeps me hydrated all day. The only thing that bothers me about this cream is the fragrance in it. Its so heavily fragranced! I would prefer something bit less or it to be totally fragrance free. I wouldn't recommend this cream for people who have sensitive skin type. 

You can find the full ingredient list and the product itself here. 

Overall I'm happy with this cream. It keeps me hydrated all day and doesn't feel heavy. I also love the refreshing feeling it gives my skin. I also wakes me up in the morning :) 

Do you like this type of creams?

Review: Béllapierre Shimmer 9 Stack: Fabulous

Hi loves! This week I'll share with you guys something awesome from Béllapierre. I have finally ready to review their Shimmer 9 Stack in Fabulous ($90.00). This contains their 9 shimmer powders, which are loose shadows. All the shadows are stacked up on top of each other, so I can only open one at the time, but I like I can see them all at once and its compact, perfect for traveling ;)

I'll be showing a close up of all 9 shadows in this tower, because it didn't photograph very well when its all stacked up. Anyway you'll find the swaches down below.

These are all super pigmented pigments and perfect to glam up any eye look. I like to use these with glitter primer from NYX. Its also what I used on the swatches to make it stick better. Its just so much easier to use the pigments that way.

I have been wearing them on and off for sometime now and I really do love these as a lid color. The colors here are fun and bright. These also work well together and blend into each other easily and these also work well with other powder shadows in my collection.

The staying power of these shadows is amazing. I apply it in the morning and in the evening it looks as good as in morning. 

This set is pricy number (I bought it in Estonia and it was way less, I think it was around 50 euros), but it will last me very long time and it just makes me wanna use more color and get out of my comfort zone. If you have read my other blog Pink Frenzy (link) sometime then you know how much I'm stuck in my nudes. I need some color in my life! I think everyone needs for special occasion. Anyway down below you can see swatches of the four shadows above.

• Desire - is shiny pitch pink. I like its not too light.
• Hurly Burly - is gorgeous shimmery purple. 
• Ocean - is a bight icy baby blue. Here is a look I did with it.
• Provence - is a shimmery light purple.

Lets take a closer look of the other shadows in this stack. I'm sorry guys this post is so super long. But I love how pretty the shadows look in their little homes.

• Reluctance -  is golden olive green. Its so stunning shade and here is a look I did with it.
• Discoteque - is a brilliant light golden green. Its a perfect shade for fall.
• Tropic - is bright green. I really wanna do cut crease eye look with it.
• Celebration - is a gorgeous golden copper and here is a look I did with it.
• Cinnabar - is shimmery red.

I'm so happy with these shadows. I have another 9 stack from them, which contains only glitters. I need to work with it bit more and then it will be up here. Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know your favorite mineral makeup brand.

If you are interested in this set, you can find it here.

Review: Joik Rosewater Face Mist

Hi loves! I have been all about face mists and all kind of toners. Toner is must have item in my skincare routine as long as I can remember. I feel a good toner keeps my skin smooth and acne free. Anyway today I wanna share with you Joik Rosewater Face Mist (50ml, 7.50EUR). 

The face mist comes in a plastic bottle and its easy to use. I spray it onto my skin every morning. The sprayer on it gives a fine and even mist. The 50ml bottle its in is perfect for traveling or keep in my handbag, if I wanna refresh the skin through out the day (no makeup days).

Rosewater is good for the skin and it helps hydrate, refresh, sooth and tone the skin. It also helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time it strengthens the skin and regenerates skin tissue.

I personally wouldn't put much fate into its ability to smooth wrinkles. The reason why I'm so impressed with it, is that it instantly hydrate my skin when applied. I use it after washing my face in the morning and it feels so good sprayed on my face. It also wakes me up and I feel refreshed.  

Ingredients: rosa damascena flower water, bensyl alcohol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate

All the info on the ingredients is from EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (low hazard, medium hazard, high hazard). If I haven't colored an ingredient it means I didn't find it in the database.

I'm very happy with this mist and love the rose scent it has <3 I wish it would come in a bigger bottle though. I'll use this 50ml up way too fast. If you wanna check it out for yourself, you can find it here. If you have any recommendation for this type of item let me know in the comments below.

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. 

What beauty products did you discover last year?

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.

Which is your favorite hair oil?

Review: Bellapierre Cheek & Lip Stain | Pink

Hi loves! I love cream blushes, because how fuss free its to use and I find cream blushes last longer on me. I have been using lately Bellapierre Cheek & Lip Stain in shade Pink ($20.00, 5g). Its also available in shade Coral.

This comes in a little plastic jar and the formula of it is oil free. It blends out super easily. I like to apply a bit of it on the my cheeks and blend out with more tense blending brush. It blends out evenly and I can build it up, if I want stronger looking blush. It might seem bit too pink, but on  pale skin tone it looks very flattering. Down below you can see a swatch of it and also the blended out version (on the right).

Once I set it with translucent powder, all the other powders apply on it as usually and there is no blotchiness, everything looks as it should. I'm really impresses with it and I feel I can use it with any eye look. Its so flattering tone of pink. 

I haven't used it on lips, so I can't comment on the staying power on there, but on cheeks it lasted on me all day with out fading or turning it blotchy mess. Also it hasn't broken me out or caused any irritation. Down below you can see all the ingredient list.

There is no scent to it and their products are not tested on animals. They also winner of Natural & Organic Awards Europe 2017. 

Ingredients: Octyl Palmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Cetyl Dimethicone Petrolatum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Nylon-12, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Candelilla Cera (Candelilla Wax), Propylene Glycol Laurate, Copernicia Cerifera Cera (Carnauba Wax), Silica, Phenoxyethanol. May contain: +/- [Mica (CI 77091), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI77499) FD&C (CI 42090:2,CI 19140, CI1580:1, CI15850:2)].

All the info on the ingredients is from EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database (low hazard,medium hazard, high hazard). If I haven't colored an ingredient it means I didn't find it in the database. 

So far I have been really happy with everything I have tried from the brand. This is such a nice item to add into my mineral makeup collection. If you are interested in this, you can check it out here.

Happy Holidays!
