I haven't posted a blog post on all the things that wait testing out or writing posts on before. Until today! You have to change things up in order to keep things interesting for yourself and for readers. Endlessly pouring rain behind my window and a hot cup of tea being my trustful friend, shall we start!

I don't like hair sprays. I just don't! I know you should use them if you just spent half an hour of your valuable time to make those lovely curls or amazing blow-out, but I can't make myself to use them. Maybe it is so, because I haven't found the right one yet? All the hair sprays I have gotten previously I ended up giving away after few uses. They always make my hair dry, stiff and plastic. Not to mention my hair does what it likes to do as it has its own stubborn brains and no hair spray would stop it! I got my hands on Macadamia Natural Oil Control Hair Spray that is filled with Macadamia Oil and Omegas 3, 5 and 7. I am not completely sure about this product yet, but I can say this may be the product that restored my trust in hair sprays. Maybe because it is full of oils and really lightweight when it come to its finish. Also, keep the humidity away from your hair do and that is very needed with this weepy summer weather we have in here.

Burberry Body Gold Limited Edition Eau de Parfum is something I refuse to put down lately even though it isn't necessarily a summery scent. It has top notes of green absinthe, illuminating peach and delicate freesia. Floral heart notes include rose absolute, iris and warm sandalwood. Base notes reveal woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, amber and musk. Totally warm and comforting scent that has really powerful sensual twist to it. It is something you would wear at night or on colder months as its warmth with the sour sweetness can be too heavy for summer. As I said, I have found a true comfort out of this scent on these cold days and refuse to skip it in my morning routine.

Two products have cheered me up so much lately and even though there's not much sun out there, I still enjoy having brand new pair of sunglasses along with this sleek watch. To be exact I got to wear my sunglasses for 20 minutes yesterday when we had beautiful bright sun during temperature of 4'C that made me doubt what season it is. Just after that we got huge load of pouring rain on us and I had to put my sunglasses inside this nifty case it comes with. These are KOMONO Urkel sunglasses in Tortoise. They give an excellent protection and are so comfortable to wear as they are high quality. You know how some cheaper glasses can have a plastic feel? It is not a case with these ones, they are made with optical hinges and have metal core inside. Not to mention I love the warm dark brown colour of mine. My watch is also from KOMONO, Magnus Black Black to be exact. With its black genuine leather strap, stainless steel brushed matte metal case, quite big display, lightness and water resistance it has all the qualities a perfect watch should have for me. I love how the simplicity and sleekness go hand in hand with this one!

A true multi tasking product, Shiseido Face Color Enhancing Trio in RS1 has everything a face could need when it comes to makeup. Harmonized tones of highlighter, sculpter and blusher form the perfect combination in one compact to use all three separately or mixed together. RS1 shade has been described as 'Glamorous Bronze Luster' and that is so true. The blusher gives the right amount of colour to achieve that flushed summery look, the bronzer is perfect for warm contouring or just adding wamrht to the face. Highlighter with the warm golden undertones and finest sheen to it will give that perfect angelic goddess glow. This also has to be the first makeup compact I own that came with the brush that isn't a garbage. The brush actually is the softest ever and makes the product application effortless.

Some time ago, a clothing brand Seppälä came out with cosmetic line full of different products from body care to makeup. At first I didn't know what to expect from a clothing brand. What do they know about beauty products? To try them out myself, I got few items and started out with the body product, The Must Have Body Scrub with passionfruit & guava. First, they are pretty clever with the names of the products that are simple and not over the top, yet witty and catching. I wasn't even under the shower yet when I was amazed by the packaging of this body scrub. It is such a high quality plastic jar that comes with a reflecting silver lid you can use as a mirror. How snazzy is that? The product itself makes me probably scrub my body more often than I should. But is is okay as it is really gentle and creamy. The scent of it is what gets to me! It smells like an expensive Victoria's Secret product and has the whipped cream consistency with fine gentle beads in it. While scrubs like this can leave residue on skin (and I don't like residue on my body as long as products are truly natural), this doesn't. It washes off completely clean and will leave skin smooth and velvety! Well done, Seppälä!

While the weather is hectic and can't decide which it wants to be, warm or cold, sunny or rainy, my skin doesn't like this! And it takes everything out on me, like I could choose the right temperature for it. While my skin gets drier I always look into balancing products as I don't want to suffocate my skin with heavy creams when not needed. This Kris D'Amour Balancing Facial Treatment Oil has become handy to me when handling my skin's moods. I have used it only for couple of days, but I already see and feel improvement as my skin isn't so dry around my nose an mouth anymore. It has been formulated for oily, combination and acne prone skin so it should also sort out few break outs I have. I am especially impressed my the ingredient list it has: oils of jojoba, hazelnut, tamanu, seabuckthorn, apple seed, grape seed, juniper berry, lavender, petitgrain, patchouli and extracts of green, red and white teas. All to balance, nourish, hydrate and decongest the skin. Also in love with its comforting warm blend of scents I look forward to smelling whenever I use it.

Filorga BB-Perfect Anti-Aging Beauty Balm has been amazing to me in those two days I have used it! It covers well, better than other BB-creams I have tried and yet looks like you aren't wearing a makeup on your skin. Healthy dewy finish with the moisturising properties guaranteed! My 'radiant beige' shade adapts with my own skin tone perfectly and leaves it definitely brighter and more radiant. Feels almost like putting a good moisturiser on and getting the corrective part as a good surprise.

Garnier Ultra Doux Honey Treasures Shampoo and Conditioner are something I got sent as a gift and  otherwise probably wouldn't have these in my hands. Recently I have tried to take care of my hair with more gentler and natural products and Garnier isn't exactly pure. Also I am aware that sometimes really good hair products aren't 100% pure. A lot of times I am also guilty of choosing the ones that work well and aren't natural. With an open mind, I used these yesterday for the first time. They smell like milk and honey and are both really creamy and easy to use. No residue left into hair, really easy to wash out and totally fuzz free when it comes to using them. I actually liked them after one use and am sure to try them out for a little longer. They left my hair smooth and stronger. Not much to say about the nourishing part as I still needed to use my hair serum afterwards, but the strength of the hair is noticeable! Great for a basic hair care when you don't want to use loads of products, but still want great results.

Biosolis Self Tanning Spray is more like milk that comes out from a spray bottle. The thing I love the most about it is that is certified organic products with EcoCert and BIO labels on it. It has light yellow texture which makes it easy to apply, doesn't smell at any stage of self tanning and gives most natural tan on face and body within one use. You will look like you are slightly sun-kissed, nothing extreme and major at all! Actually it was a refreshing experience to use a product like this, you don't have to be scared of orange or weird shades and streaks. It can be made more intense and darker with re-applying the next day. Huge plus, it won't clog pores and even though I have used it once only I will get more into it and probably will notice even more benefits of it. I am happy with this product as it is hard to find an organic self-tanner that is actually good!

This post came out longer than I was prepared, but oh well! Have you got something new in your beauty stash you just got and is waiting for you to dive into it or just started to use?

It was probably the end of last year when I got my hair real short in order to get them healthier. Shoulder length is short for me as my hair is real thick and I in order to manage them, they need to be longer than that. Since I have always used some kind of oil treatments on my hair, my choices were usually grapeseed oil, avocado oil or apricot kernel oil. I looked into something else than just plain oils I used before. An organic blend of best selected and nurturing oils, especially designed for hair sounded perfect to me! This is where Yarok Feed Your Youth Hair Oil came into play.

When I first got it I was mainly amazed by its sleek bottle, wonderful scent and the colour of the oil itself. It is green and smells like orange blossom. I knew it does great job moisturising hair and feeding the scalp, but had no idea of the other benefits of it. 

It is marketed as an anti-aging treatment to make dull and stressed out hair alive again! Can't argue with that, but that is something any oil can do whether applied as a treatment or hair serum. This serum has so many oils in combination that deliver all the vitamins, antioxidants, fatty acids and minerals right to your scalp much faster than one plain oil can do. It is a mixture of avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, wheat germ, ylang ylang, yarrow oil, orange blossom and bitter orange. 

What it does besides giving your hair a much needed moisture kick? First of all, it should be applied from top to ends, so your scalp would get the most out of it. After all, this is where your hair starts to grow. A lot of times we are so concentrated in feeding our ends, we forget our scalp. 

This serum will remove any buildup and residue from other hair products that may sit on our scalp and hair, while hydrating, nourishing scalp and hair from root to tip. Oil being rich enough, it nurses them back alive within only one treatment and offers them safety blanket from sun, stress and heat tools. 

How to use it? Dropper it comes with, makes it so easy to use. You just need 2-3 droppers of oil. Smooth it through your hair, starting from to scalp by slowly releasing the oil. Then you give your head and hair little massage to get the oil working and distribute the oil more evenly. After all that, you can use a warm towel on your hair, because oils will work better with the heat, but it also works great without it. Depending on how much time you have in your hands, you should let it sit in your hair at least 10-15 minutes. I sometimes left it in for couple of hours while doing something else. Then you will wash it off and condition your hair like you usually do. You won't feel the need to double wash, because even though this oil is rich, it also absorbs into your scalp and hair quite good without leaving your locks greasy afterwards. You are left with healthy, bouncy, much stronger hair and the delicate scent of orange blossom may linger in your hair for quite some time. Also, my scalp felt always so comfortable and hydrated, it reminded me, it all starts from the roots. 

Now my hair has grown quite a lot and I truly believe Yarok hair serum has helped so much with it. Sometimes it almost happens without noticing. There will be just those days, I or someone else states, that my hair has gotten longer again. 

As I have been really bad with being regular with my 'empties' post I decided it is easier to follow and write when I do them in smaller patches. Here are five products I managed to save from going into trash and I literally ended last month. So this post is really in order! When it comes to makeup I have no used up products to show you, but you will get more skincare and little bit hair care. 

MÁDARA Deep Moisture Gel is the one I have talked about before and just ended the second tube of it. I love it to hydrate my skin and apply under my moisturiser when I am drier. But more than ever, it is a perfect instead a moisturiser when your skin is unbalanced and isn't that dry. I always reach for it when it get warmer and even hot outside. It keep oilier areas at a bay and doesn't let skin get dry on other areas. It has such a pleasant and fresh herbal scent and liquidy consistency of this gel goes on like a much needed nectar for your face. I reviewed this and other MÁDARA products in here.

Nurme Lavender Facial Toner is meant for problematic skin, but everyone would actually benefit from it. It is 100% natural and I am absolutely in love with their facial toners. Lavender one I particularly love when I have some breakouts to calm down or at night time in general. It soothes, tones and cleans every trace of face mask or face cleaner off your skin. It comes in a spray bottle and that makes it easy to apply it before moisturising-step as a spray refreshment. The only thing I would love more than this already is, would be the bottle. It is fairly small and I go through it so fast. Also I would prefer a bottle to be without the pump as I love my toner on cotton round and whenever I spray it on cotton it gets everywhere else and that's a waste.

Caru Skincare Cucumber + Lime Organic Toner is created for normal or combination skin. It is extremely balancing and detoxifying and has much more power than any other toner I have used. When I first got it, I couldn't get over how beautiful this vintage bottle was. Chances are I am going to clean it and keep it just use it in the future when I happen to stumble on the beauty products that have a not so good packaging. The other thing was a scent of it. It is so refreshing and comforting, just like fresh cucumber salad with the twist of lime! With the combination of cucumbers and limes, it soothes an calms skin immediately, yet leaves pores so clean and small with the cleaning effects of lime. Even if it is labelled as a toner for normal to combination skin, it is so gentle, I would suggest it to everyone with the benefits of clearing up skin, boosting it and balancing its pH levels at all times.

Silver Tree Argan Oil Thairapy Ultra Hydrating Hair Mask is a huge jar full of really moisturising hair mask. I got it for a while ago from local Estonian beauty store I.L.U, when I was actually in a search of a new hair serum. I knew nothing about this brand when I picked it up, but was nicely surprised after first use. Since then it has been my must-have hair once a week hair mask and already got myself a new one. It is really thick and so moisturising yet doesn't leave hair heavy or greasy. It restores hair within few uses and you can actually feel, yourlocks are in a better condition. As just adding moisture doesn't cut it for my hair, it must also has to add some strength, because I won't struggle with the breakage anymore like I did before finding this mask. Since I have tried ever so expensive Macadamia Deep Repair Hair Mask which great, but is quite a splurge when it comes to its price. These two are really similar when it comes to hair results afterwards, but this one is so much cheaper.

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty is a face mask for problematic skin on face and back. I only used it on my face. Being deep cleansing, toning, exfoliating it takes care of your pores and blemishes you might have. I was so amazed by it at first and love the tingling sensation at first because of its natural peppermint oil, but after a while this mask made me sick. The scent got so repulsive and strong for me, I just applied it to use it up and knew it works wonders. It does really heal any blemishes and cleans up pores, but there's too much peppermint for my taste. Probably will give it a try in the far future again, but for now I will stay away from it.

I have always thought that graduation gifts could be something that lasts and something that you could keep. Or something that could be sentimental and for your soul. After all graduation is the new beginning and graduate's new very important step into life. Why not keep our closest ones in mind and give them something nice to make those steps easier and more fun. Here are some of the things that I chose. It is always great and much cheaper to make something yourself, but when in lack of inspiration I hope this selection helps you.

Both jewellery items come from Pi-Ret Jewelry who makes everything by hand and ties her whole heart and passion into every piece of jewellery she makes. Necklace is called White Lilac and contains long row of fresh water pearls complimented with textured baroque pearls which makes this piece completely unique. This necklace is definitely something to keep and something that would light up any occasion, casual or something special. It can be worn long or layered short. The Brunette earrings are something I have talked about before. These delicate pieces are made of kunzite quartz wrapped in gold filled wire. The warmth of the stone would warm up any complexion and wearing these would have the effect of lightening up any kind of mood you might have.

Hair straighteners come from Cloud Nine. I am a true fan of my regular iron and find it is the easiest tool to create curls, waves or straight sleek hair. Now they came out with The C9 Touch which has mineral plates that glide smoothly through hair. It also offers instant automatic heat and chooses the exact temperature for you- you just have to choose between higher and lower heat option.

Clarisonic Mia2 doesn't need an introduction. It is a professional sonic facial brush for clearer, smoother and healthier skin. I have had my Clarisonic Mia for over a year now and can't be happier with it. It has changed my skincare routine upside down and in a better way of course. Every time I use it, my skin feels so smooth, polished and it creates a perfect canvas for next skincare steps: toners, serums, moisturisers. 

Versace Bright Crystal Absolu Eau de Parfum more intensive version of infamous Versace Bright Crystal which is totally feminine and delightful. This perfume is fresh, glamorous and seductive with its notes of magnolia, pomegranate, raspberry, mahogany, musk, lotus, peony and amber.

River Island Floral Quilt Makeup Bag could be quite affordable yet sleek gift to anyone who loves beauty. This good sized bag comes in dusky pink shade with a soft floral quilt finish that compliments its golden zipper and splash free black lining. Golden River Island plate on the bag just adds this makeup bag more luxurious feel.

Floral Silk Scarf  comes in light shades and would be a perfect addition to any outfit in order to keep you warm on a chilly day or just spice up your clothing with floral patterns and silky texture.

Time for another 'beauty favourites' post. While I have been using so much new and great products lately that I haven't talked about yet, I needed to cut down the amount of products I love and bring you the best of my favourites. So these thing made the cut, are totally trustworthy and basically my heroes when it comes to beauty care. Again, I must admit that I have undetectably become a junkie and an addict for natural beauty products. While I do have some things in my beauty stash that aren't completely natural, I noticed that these are mostly natural and safe to use for everyone. 

Organic Surge Moisture Boost Shampoo and Conditioner are both the products that surprised me the most. These are so affordable and free of all the nasty stuff that aren't good for your hair. Shampoo is so gentle yet lathers well and cleans hair like nobody's business. It is enriched with aloe vera, olive leaf and grape vine extracts that keep hair moisturised and silky. Lemon peel extract seals the hair cuticle to maintain its shine and keep hair frizz free. Thyme and fennel seed extracts work to strengthen and prevent breakage. While shampoo cleanses without stripping hair, conditioner is with its thickness and creamy texture hydrates and nourishes even the driest locks. I am so pleased with these products and have managed to get my hair into better condition than I have ever dreamed.

Unique Haircare Leave-In Conditioner is a certified organic spray conditioner with a low pH-value and milk proteins that protect every individual hair strand from heat stress, colour fading and environmental damage. I truly recommend it to everyone, but especially to people who need to improve their hair condition, lock in moisture, but are worried about their hair weighing down or going flat. This adds perfect amount of luxurious moisture and strength to hair, but also gives surprisingly great volume and body to it. I have used it in damp hair before styling and in dry hair when I need to refresh my locks between washes. Both ways work wonders!

Vestige Verdant Face Mask is a miracle in a jar. It is produced in my own little home country, Estonia and has become a huge thing in here. I can't argue with the fact that it is amazing! It comes in huge jar that lasts basically months and months. It can be used daily and is suitable for every skin type and skin condition as it has so many benefits. It deep cleanses and moisturises, improves skin texture, revives blood circulation, heals allergies and overly sensitive skin, diminishes acne, relieves stress and restores natural pH balance of skin. As has only organic minerals and bioactive humic acid I truly believe in every statement this mask has made! It goes on smooth, looks absolutely black and starts to itch on skin soon after waiting around. You can actually feel it working and pulling all the nastiness out of your skin. It is messy to remove, but not impossible. I have found it is best to wash it off in the shower so this has become my daily face routine just before getting into shower. My skin has become a lot clearer, smoother and balanced since I have used it regularly.

Selexir Peace Balm has been my another must have wonder product when it comes to skin care. It is and intensive cosmetic salve that specifically soothes distressed, irritated and sensitive skin areas. Its formula is bursting with goodness as it contains 21 highly concentrated natural ingredients. It improves skin's texture, balances its hydration levels and strengthens skin's natural barrier. I have used it around my mouth which was my problem area when temperature changes got the best out of my skin. I have also used it on cracked hands and lips just before going to bed and woken up to perfectly healed skin. I am especially impressed with the amount of time it works. You literally apply tiniest amount of it on your problem area and wake up to beautifully healed skin in the morning!

NOVExpert Eye Contour Care is a moisturising lifting and decongesting eye cream with hyaluronic acid, cucumber extracts and cornflower in it. It is deeply hydrating, yet so light and absorbs fast without laving any residue on the eye area. It has significally reduced my dark circles and promises also to combat any puffiness and dryness. It relieves redness and discomfort when I have my common spring time allergies and feels comforting in the morning right after waking up. I also love the fact that it is hypoallergenic and 100% natural.

I do plan doing a full detailed reviews on some of these products, so bare with me. When you want me to write a review on the product that got your attention, just let me know!

It is still great summer going on here and that affect definitely my wish list, where everything looks light and bright. I have been lurking on ASOS so much lately and therefore many of my beauty wishes happen to be from their selection. Another wonderful and very comparable website is Siison. I have talked about it before and get regularly so many good ideas from there.

1. OSKIA Skincare Bedtime Beauty Boost, is a nutri-active regenerating and nourishing night cream. I love night treatments as they are highly effective and I love them even more when they are natural and full of minerals, vitamins, omegas, essential oils and peptides just like this one.

2. Sleek Makeup True Colour Lipstick in Peaches and Cream, looks like a perfect bright coral nude lipstick. I have heard that Sleek lipsticks are so pigmented, long lasting and true to colour. No wonder it is tempting me every since I know its existence.

3. Ted Baker Treasured Orchid Makeup Bag, is a floral printed, has a glossy finish, zipper and even smaller inner compartment. Ted Baker knows the world of makeup bags and is always creating new and prettier ones.

4. Moshi Wild Mango Body Scrub is made in Estonia and extremely nourishing smoothing for your skin. It has a sea buckthorn oil full of vitamins and smoothing sugar for extra sweet body exfoliation. Plus it promises to leave body delicious and silky!

5. L'occitane Angelica Protective Lotion SPF 15 is a fresh light textured moisturising day lotion infused with real organic angelica from France. I can imagine how perfect it would be for morning skin routine with its freshness, protectiveness and boosting effect.

6. Bourjois Cream Blush in Nude Velvet looks like a perfect nude coraly pink shade. I am more and more into cream blushes and can't fancy them enough. They are fuss free to apply, stay on very natural and leave such a polished look on cheekbones. 

7. Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Liner in Nude is a creamy long lasting liner in a variation of colours. I would opt for a nude shade to brighten up the eye area and waterline whenever needed.

8. The Balm Shady Lady Vol 2 Eyeshadow Palette. Apart from cutest packaging The Balm tends to have wonderful quality and colour payoff so this eyeshadow palette would be amazing for autumn. These shades are perfect for everything: from neutral eye to more dramatic look.

9. Jenoris Pistachio Oil Hair Treatment is full of Omegas, vitamins and fatty acids. Perfect for frizzy dry hair as a pre styling product or nourishing oil treatment before washing your hair.

10. SteamCream 3in1 Moisturiser Scarlet Tin is a lightweight all purpose moisturiser in a sleek handy tin. All SteamCream moisturisers are handmade from unrefined steam and floral extracts. Not to mention that all their tins are to die for!
