Review: The Perfect Eyebrow Kit by Seppälä

Hi my lovely readers!
Today I'm going to review The Perfect Eyebrow Kit from Seppälä.

The Finnish clothing store called Seppälä used to sell WetnWild, however they decided to stop selling W&W and  make their own makeup line instead.



The only product I purchased from the fairly new makeup line was The Perfect Eyebrow Kit, because I  ran out of my eyebrow kit by W&W and I wanted to try out something new. I have been using this product for two months.



I was not impressed with this product. The quality is chalky and after couple of hours the eyebrows are significally faded if you have accidentally rubbed/touched them.
So I don't recommend this product unless you are a beginner with makeup.


See? It's much worse in the actual eyebrows.... Patchy and chalky.

Overall I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

Pros:
+Nice selection of colors for brunettes
+ Good for beginners to practice and use for under 6 hours

Cons:
- Chalky
- Not much pigment
- The wax does absolutely nothing
- Fades away too quickly

I will not repurchase this product.

Thanks for reading, hope this helps! Have a magical day!

Eye of the day and Nails of the day

Hi my lovely readers! Today I decided to share with you my #Eotd &  #Notd ;)

Eyes of the day
(Well I guess this would be considered as face of the day)


Eye makeup: Naked palette's Naked & Buck in the crease, Virgin and Stila's Kitten on the lid and Lucky on the lower lash line. Black gel liner by WetnWild.
Turqoise kohl liner in waterline by Barry M, color: 13

Blush: Benefit's Coralista
Bronzer: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil

Lipstick: Lumene's Raspberry Miracle lipstick shade: 10, Flower Meadow/Niityllä.


These nails were inspired by highlighters. I was taking some notes with my highlighters and thought of this design. It was simple to do. I used China Glazes Flip Flop Fantasy, Orange Knockout and Celtic Sun. I used three very thin coats of each polish. Love the super bright result!

Hope you liked this post, thanks for reading!

Beauty Blogger meet in Tampere & a goodie bag haul!


Just a little excited to go to the meet...

Hi my lovely readers!
 Greetings from Tampere! :) I was invited to a meet for Finnish beauty bloggers hosted by the lovely Sanni and Elisa. I absolutely love these meets, because I get to meet all of my awesome blogger friends in one place! I also got to meet some new people, too bad there was 35 of us and I didn't have time to chat with everyone. Maybe next time!

We met at Plevna, a cozy brewery  restaurant. Most of us ate something, but I only drank coffee, since I had already eaten before I got there.

Loved the atmosphere!
Thanks for the photo, Eiko from Kahvia ja Kosmetiikkaa-blog! :)

After dining we moved to a different room and listened to three awesome presentations. The kickoff to the presentations was by Lumene, the famous Finnish cosmetic brand (which I personally love). After Lumene, we had a little break and got incredible goodie bags! 
We returned to the room, and got to enjoy of Mikko Vainio's hair demo and Zuii Organic's presentation.

REVIEW: Chanel Black Pearl 513


Hi my lovely readers! I decided to make a quick review of Chanel's Black pearl -nail polish.

Texture/formula: 7/10
Kind of streaky and uneven. However if you put just a little bit more effort to the application it will be ok. After a second coat you can still see the brush marks but it won't be too bad.

After one coat
After two coats
After two days of wear without topcoat

Longevity: 7/10
Without a topcoat this polish started to chip off on the second day of wear, as you can see from the picture above. So, nothing amazing here.

Overall: 7/10
The color is pretty, and I think the name describes the color perfectly. However the formula and longevity could be improved. The brush is just like any other Chanel brush, kind of square shape which I don't really like, since my cuticles are round. So, it's a nice nail polish but not my top choice for easy application process.

Thanks so much for reading, feel free to leave a request on the comment section down below! :)

Finnish Beauty Bloggers' meet

Me, Shiny, Virve and Sini ♥ I just love those girls

Hi my lovely readers! 
Me and 27 other Finnish beauty bloggers decided to have a gathering last Saturday. Our host was the beautiful Sensaisti. The gathering was just AWESOME! It was so much fun to meet my blogger friends I rarely get to see. The food was absolutely delicious and the place so pretty! 

All this food *___* Nomnomnom
I'm still drooling after Ilona's mocha bites (which are not shown in the pic though xD)
Guess who joined to the  Lyyli-fanclub? Isn't she just the cutest little chihuahua ever?
Thanks for taking this pic, Sini!
Ooh-la-laa! Wonder what's inside?

Our host had such a nice surprise for us - a huge gift bag full of amazing cosmetic items! I was in cloud nine! I'm so looking forward to testing all these wonderful products! :)


That was just crazy, huh?! I feel so lucky and blessed for receiving all that amazing stuff, thanks again Sensaisti and the companies who were so generous to us!

Now, here are just a few pics from the memorable night...
