I just wanted to stop by and say Merry Christmas to all. Don't forget to love yourself and material things really don't matter unless you enjoy yourself and relax :)

Hello, here's a little post with pictures of my Christmas manicure (it's nothing special but still i like it)


Essence show your feet nail polish - 07 hot red (only 1 coat !)
Christmas nail stickers (you can find them here )

Here is another preview of what I wore on my nails this week :) I was testing these nail polish strips that I got last month and I really wanted to share my opinion with you !

I recommend using them on bare nails, because then they will stick nicely onto your nails.

Hello :) Long time no see :P
Well I had too much stuff going on in school and still working from home, so I decided to take a break and focus on school instead, but I was really craving posting some reviews and things :)
So for this review/comparison I decided to compare two mascaras because I have been recently given the L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess and I already owned the original version, so I wanted to compare them :)
I'll keep it short and simple !

Živjo ! Dolgo časa se nismo slišali :P
Preveč stvari se je dogajalo na faksu in pa zraven še delam od doma, zato sem se odločila, da si vzamem malo premora in se malce osredotočim na faks, vseeno sem si pa želela objavit kakšno oceno ali kaj podobnega :)
Za tole oceno sem se odločila, da bom primerjala dve maskari, saj sem pred kratkim dobila v natečaju L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess maskaro, hkrati pa sem že imela originalno različico, zato sem se odločila, da ju primerjam :) Vem pa, da obstajajo še druge različice, ki jih nisem preizkusila !
Tale objava bo bolj kratka in enostavna, saj želim, da govorijo slike zase !

So, I've been obsessed with those lip crayons and the moment, so I wanted to share which colors I have and how they look on me :) I won't do a proper review, but just my thoughts on why I like them :)

Today I'm going to review another lip product. I really like lip products even though I don't use them as much as I should, but am obsessed with lipstick and products like that :)
This one is a bit different, it is a kind of lipgloss.
It says it is 4 in 1: it is a comfort of luxury lipstick, moisturizes your lips, it is glossy and has extremely long-lasting color.
Number of my lipstick: 1 

Še ena ocena izdelka za ustnice :)  Obožujem izdelke za ustnice, čeprav jih ne uporabljam ravno vsak dan in tako pogosto kot bi lahko, ampak sem obsedena s šminkami in podobnimi izdelki.
Ta izdelek je malce drugačen, saj je kot glos.
Pravijo, da je 4 v 1: udobje razkošne šminke, vlaži vaše ustnice, daje sijaj in ima zelo dolgo obstojnost barve.
Številka oziroma odtenek moje "šminke": 1

So this is what I am wearing on my nails this week :) I really like this baby pink color. I never thought I would wear something like that but I really like it.




What I used:

They came in a set and I believe they aren't sold out yet, so you can still check your closest h&m for those goodies ( there is also red, blue and gold set available for 3,95 € if you are interested :D )

I can't believe it's the end of November already ! Crazy right ?
7. Fresh&Clean makeup remover wipes 60/1- I had those a while back, so I wanted to get them once again & they are lovely !









WHAT I GOT :

So this is the nailpolish I was wearing this week :)
I also bought the essence gold topper. I know the shade of this Essie nailpolish is kinda ''boring'' but I really like it and I was so happy I received it finally. I told you in the last haul that the girl from carodejka.si sent me a wrong nailpolish and never sent me a new one..well it happened ! I originally wanted Topless & Barefoot, but this one is pretty nice too :)
It is such a fallish color. This one took 2 coats. I've been really liking Essie nalpolishes because they last on my nails for about 5 days, which is nice !

Soooo... I know Christmas is in a month but I've been eyeing some beauty things at the moment. I'm giving myself a restriction from buying things at the moment, even though I've got enough money, but I have been spending a lot lately and I like saving money :) I'll show you a monthly haul at the end of the month. So currently these are the things I really like and would love to try :) And of course I'll be considering buying some in the end of December.

Today I'm going to review one of my favorite products of all time. Yes, you may have heard about it already, but I really wanted to share my opinion with you.

Živjo!
Danes vam bom predstavila enega izmed mojih najljubših izdelkov. Verjetno ste že slišali zanj, ampak sem hotela podati svoje mnenje in še vas navdušiti z njim :)

So what is this product ?
Lush tea tree water is basically a toner. Lush says:
" Oily, dull, tired and spotty skin brightens up with a routine spritz of Tea Tree Water. Antibacterial tea tree, juniperberry and grapefruit waters keep skin clear of blemishes and balance skin tone. Light and refreshing Tea Tree Water reduces redness and clears excess oil without drying so you can put your best face forward."

Torej, kaj je ta izdelek?
Lush, tea tree water je v bistvu tonik. Lush pravi:
"Za mastno, nečisto kožoTrpite zaradi mastne, nečiste in mozoljate kože? Brez panike! Nikakor ne uporabite običajnega tonika, ki vsebuje alkohol, saj boste vse samo poslabšali. Za vas imamo antibakterijski tonik s čajevcem in vodo brinovih jagod, ki kožo globinsko očisti in tonira."

My opinion and experience :)

What it does: 
it is a really nice toner, it refreshes your face really nicely, especially during warmer days. I really recommend it to the people with oily skin, because you can use it before applying makeup (as a primer - it mattifies your sking nicely ! ). Although I wish the mattifying effect would last longer, but I have tried so many mattifying products and none have lasted more than 4 hours.
Because it is very natural, it feels fresh and nice. The best thing is that it doesn't contain any alcohol (which normal toners contain), so your skin won't dry out. I know for myself that I love dry skin, but alcohols dry out your skin too much, especially after using it for a long time.

How I use it:
I spritz 3-4 times on a cotton pad and rub it on my skin. I like to use it separately on spots, because it contains tea tree water and tea tree dries your pimples and helps them with healing.

Price: 7,15 € for 100g & 11,45 € for 250 g . This bottle has lasted me a whole year and I think it is really worth it, compared to other products.
You really need small amount and I got this big bottle a year ago, and I'm desperate to finish it because it will expire in a month, but you can't just pour it on your face - you really need small amount of product ! I wish I bought the smaller version, but it is cheaper to buy one big bottle :).

Kaj počne:
je res fajn tonik, super osveži obraz, še posebej v toplih dneh. Res ga priporočam ljudem z mastno kožo, saj ga lahko uporabljate tudi kot podlago za ličila (kožo lepo matira). Kljub temu je ne matira dolgo, kar bi si sama želela, ampak sem že poskusila veliko matirnih kremic in podobno in nobena ni imela učinka dlje kot 4 ure. Ker je izdelek naraven, je občutek zelo svež in prijeten. Najboljša lastnost je, da ne vsebuje alkoholov (katere vsebuje veliko tonikov), saj ti kožo izsušujejo. Sama zase vem, da mi je všeč, ko imam suho kožo, vendar alkoholi po dolgotrajni uporabi preveč izsušijo kožo.

Kako ga jaz uporabljam:
Jaz špricnem 3-4x vsebino na vatirano blazinico in z njo ''podrgnem'' celoten obraz. Rada ga tudi uporabljam posebej na mozoljčkih, saj tea tree water oz. čajevec izsušuje mozolje ter deluje antibakterijsko in se jih pomaga znebit.

Cena:
7,15 € za 100g in 11,45 € za 250 g . Tale velika plastenka mi je zdržala za celo leto in še kar se trudim, da bi porabila vsebino, ker poteče rok izdelku čez 1 mesec. Ampak ne morem ga kar zlit na obraz, kot sem rekla potrebuješ res malo tekočine. Želim si, da bi kupila manjšo verzijo ampak je bilo ceneje kupit večjo flaško :D
Torej, kot sem rekla, imam ta izdelek že 1 leto in je definitivno vredno plačati malo več za ta super izdelek, če te seveda navduši tako kot mene :) Je pa tudi odvisno od človeka koliko ga uporablja !

I would give it 5/5 - I love everything about it !
Temu izdelku bi dala 5 od 5 točk saj mi je absolutno vse všeč pri njem !

Love and Lemons, Simona

So finally I decided to post what I bought this month from clothes and accessories. I've been spending more on clothes this month, but at the end of the month I'll still do a beauty haul :)
I've been loving loose, open, flowy cardigans lately nad sweaters. Don't forget my burgundy pants :P
I'll keep this post short and simple !

So I decided to share a few beauty tricks with you, although there are already so many tips on the web, but maybe you haven't heard of any of those (i hope so :P)

1. Before bed, always use a pimple cream on your pimples (this is no trick, but I wanted to share what helps me: https://si.oriflame.com/products/product?code=30155 )
 - this green corrector really does dry out your imperfections through the night and it helps a lot with healing

2. Store your cosmetic wipes upside down ( you know how your cosmetic wipes dry out if they are not closed properly ? put them in a plastic container and store them upside down, that will prevent drying them out and the liquid will always be on the bottom - this way on the top )

3. If you have chapped lips, wet your cosmetic pad with a really hot water and then rub it against your lips ( hot water helps your lips to soften and the dead skin will peel off - you can also use a lip scrub after that or just regular sugar)

4. How to make your lipstick last longer:  (this is how I do it)
http://beautyofalemon.blogspot.com/2013/10/how-to-apply-lipstick-perfectly.html

5. Put your nails with fresh nailpolish under a cold water or use drying drops to dry them quickly :)
( this is what I use: http://en.essence-beautyfriends.eu/typo3temp/pics/d45912872f.jpg )

OTHER TIPS (which I think you already heard about !):

- always use a base coat ( I have seen so many girls with red nails after removing a red nailpolish and it really isn't healthy for your nails - so if you use a base coat you know this doesn't happen as often )
- always use some kind of oil on your hair ends ( to prevent them from damaging - IF A HAIR IS DEAD THERE'S NO HELP - keep in mind that, because if you put oil on dead hair you can't fix it, only cutting it helps)
- drink a lot of water ( it helps your skin to clear out)
- if you have oily skin you should use moisturizer too ! Because if you always clean and exfoliate and mattify your skin, the skin will produce even more oil, so make sure to keep your skin moisturized with an appropriate cream ( I heard that using any argan or face oil is good too )


This is all for today, if I forgot something, I'll make sure to complete the list :)

Love and Lemons, Simona

For the past month I have been searching everywhere for the perfect dark vampy red lipstick. All I could find were dark plum shades, so I was sceptic about ordering this one online, but then I checked some blogs and I had to have this one. I own one of ArtDeco lipsticks already, so I knew I would like this one.

I ordered it here: https://www.artdeco.si/
It wasn't expensive, because it is on sale and they had free shiping at the time. (yay!) It is from limited edition from Dita von Teese.

It is a velvet finish and I think because of that it doesn't stay on your lips for a very long time, but the shade is totally gorgeous. The packaging is really nice and slim. I think it is a very sexy color and because I'm really pale it suits me nicely and I wouldn't pick darker color than this, but for the other skin tones I think they could go darker.

Packaging & on my lips:

So today I woke up pretty early (this hour change totally messed up my sleeping schedule :S I usually go to sleep at 2am, but now at midnight - that sucks :S ), so this post is pretty early :)
This month I found myself spending more money on clothes and shoes & less on makeup, but still I bought some beauty treats :3

THINGS I BOUGHT :)


1. ArtDeco Dita von Teese lipstick - 656 Black Dahlia ( I'm in love with this lipstick, it is the perfect dark vampy red color I wanted, I need to do a post about it ! )
2. Maybelline AffiniMAT - ( I already did a blog post, so make sure to check it out :) )
3. Depend Gellack Remover - 2,45 € ( I removed gelish nails which a girl did on me and it really worked, you need to do it maybe twice but it works and you save some money doing it by yourself)
4. Essie nailpolishes - Sag harbor & Wicked - 10€ for 2 + shipping from carodejka.si
( I ordered Topless & Barefoot shade instead of Sag Harbor and the lady sent me the wrong color, she said she'll send another one which looks more like the one I ordered in the first place, but she never did and that's stupid ! .. but I love Wicked shade ! .. I may purchase other colors in a store :P )
