MILANI Conceal+Perfect/ FAIL

Heeeey! I had been seeing so many influencers and bloggers rave about this foundation and telling HOW full-coverage and nice and long-wearing it is that I never gave up on the thought of finding it and giving it a go myself. They do not sell Milani in Finland at all and a thought of ordering a foundation on the internet just gives me chills, I mean, I can not even pick out the right shade at the store. 

Last month I was in Tallinn over the weekend and a flash hit me that I can get Milani there and so I went and picked up this foundation.

First problem- I got the wrong shade- come oooon. It will be great somewhere in the middle of summer- I hope.

Second thing is- it is so heavy and thick. I do get that it says full coverage and all that but it is just thick on my face and it sits like an add-on layer. For example I have used the Make up Forever both liquid and stick foundations and they do not act like that- they are super heavy duty and high-coverage but they do not just sit there.

And because of the fact that it did not blend it just sat weirdly and setting it with a powder made it even worse. About two hours after wearing it I could see smile lines and the lines under my eyes wearing in. Also, it separated on the sides of my nose. And it just made my skin look worse.

I have read and heard so many great things about it that I would like to get a lighter shade and try it out once again. I do not have perfect skin so I feel that I need more product to make it look better and that may be the reason of it not working for me. To me it seems to be a suitable foundation for someone who has great skin already and can use just the tiny amount of that product and make their skin look even better.

DOSE OF COLORS lipgloss

Heeey!

Dose of Colors came out with some really good looking glosses and they were quite wanted I suppose- for the first time that I wanted to get them, they were sold out on Beautybay. Second time visiting the website a little later I managed to get the one I was most curious about- shade Goalz. This is a sheer gold shimmer and looked just too pretty on the picture.

For example the Fenty beauty Gloss bomb has more pinky or red sheen and some nude glitter reflects. Goalz is a sheer gold shimmer with a milky colour of the gloss itself. 

Because I have quite red lips myself I was a little scared that this will be just too light on it’s own my lips. But I was really surprised by the end result. It is too pretty on the lips. It smells great and applies beautifully and I wish I get a chance to try more of their glosses soon. They are constantly sold out, if you can- get them and give them a try!

Philips StyleCare curler

Heeey!

 Do you follow me on Instagram, if you do then you probably would have seen my story about how to get the perfect curls and I used not any other tool but the StyleCare curler by Philips. (If you do not, then what are you waiting for, head there and find me and see my Highlights to find what and how I used to achieve these curls!) They have an awesome technology built in to this thing and at first I was scared of putting my hair in it and just let it curl away but it worked out in the end as I think it needs a little practice in the beginning.

The way to use it is that you just take the section of your hair place it through the side in to the curler vertically, push a button and hold it down and let the wand inside curl your hair around it, hold it and when you hear a longer beep it means that you can let go of the button and the wand will release your fully curled section. Cool thing is, that if something goes wrong the tool automatically switches off and releases your hair without any damage or pulling.

Of course you can choose and set out a temperature that you want your hair to be curled at. And you can also choose how long you want the device to curl each of your sections. You can also set out the direction of the curl- if you want it to curl on the left or right or both ways.

The product has a great design and it has been certainly made sure that you will not burn yourself or your hair, which is extremely thoughtful.

The downside for me is that it took some time to get  hold of the proper way to use it and in my opinion it is a little complicated to use on yourself- curling of the sections in the back was super tough for me and using a mirror confused me even more on which way I should hold the curler and where should I put my section etc. Also, it is quite heavy, so lifting it up and down holding it while it curls your hair is pretty tiring. But, I tested it out on my relative and she has super long thick hair and it worked great with it and all in all for me it was much more comfortable to use on somebody else than on myself.
