Hello,
I'm here again with a haul. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I was on a spending ban for the whole month - which means that I wasn't allowed buying anything beauty related, only if I really ran out of something. I thought maybe I'd get distracted by buying gifts for other people. Then I was with girls at some drugstore which was closing off so I broke the ban and bought two Bourjois products, oh well. At least it wasn't much and it was half off.

Firstly I got all the pretty things from The Body Shop Advent Calendar (click, if you want to see everything). My favorite scent is definitely Frosted Cranberry !




1. L'oreal Gentle Eyes & Lips make-up remover
Actually I was affraid to run out of my two-phase makeup remover, so I bought these as they were on offer 1+1. Maybe it was an excuse but I didn't have any backup.

2. Ombia Cosmetics Cotton Pads (x120)
I ran out of all the cotton pads, so I bought these while I was at Hofer. These are really thin and not soft, so I don't like them. Can't wait to use them up.


3. Bourjois Color Edition 24hrs cream to powder eyeshadow - Prune Nocturne

4. Happy Light Bourjois Ultra-covering Concealer - 21 Ivoire

Hello girls.
As I've been into cosmetics for a long time, I was super excited to finally get an advent calendar. What could be better than The Body Shop one, as I've never tried something from them. I just wanted to share my opinion on this "product" and to let you know if it is worth splurging on. Also if you're considering getting one next year, here's a few of my thoughts. I was so sad when I opened the last door yesterday, because I really liked it.

Živjo !
Že nekaj let me kozmetika precej zanima, zato sem letos bila zelo vesela, ko sem lahko v Avstriji kupila ta adventni koledar. Še boljše pa je, da je znamke The Body Shop, ker od njih prej nisem prav nič sprobala. Z vami bom delila svoje mnenje, če vas seveda zanima ali je vreden denarja in če razmišljate o nakupu naslednje leto. Včeraj sem bila kr malo žalostna, ko sem odprla še zadnja vratca, saj je bilo res fajn odpirat vsak dan namesto čokolade ter je bilo tako vedno nekaj novega.

Hello :)
As we are coming into the colder days (well the weather here has been funky, but it's soon going to be cold), my skin feel pretty dry. My legs get super dry all year around and they need moisturization especially in the winter. Other than that, I also get quite dry skin on the palms of my hands. Also my oily skin gets quite dry which is weird because it stays oily, however I deal with some dry patches which sometimes shows through liquid powder/foundation.
Let's see which products I love the most in the winter.

Živjo :)
Ker prehajamo v bolj mrzle dneve (čeprav je trenutno vreme zelo čudno), je že zdaj moja koža bolj suha. Moje noge so suhe celo leto, še posebej pa postanejo suhe pozimi in potrebujejo ekstra nego in vlažitev. Prav tako je zgornja stran mojih dlani precej suha in včasih pozimi pride tudi do nadležne srbečice. Čeprav je koža na mojem obrazu običajno precej mastna, pa se na njej pojavijo kakšni suhi predeli ter sem pred tednom že izkusila "lupljenje" kože na nosu kar se vidi tudi skozi puder.
Torej poglejmo kateri izdelki so moji najljubši za ta letni čas in katere bom seveda uporabljala.

Hello,
today I'm going to show you my second and last MAC lipstick :) I've been searching for the perfect violet lipstick and then I saw this one on the internet. When I was shopping in Graz, they didn't have some shades of lipsticks, so in the end I tried this one and instantly bought it. It's a really fun color, eventough it may look frightening in the tube.

Živjo,
danes vam bom pokazala mojo drugo in tudi zadnjo MAC šminko :) Nekaj časa sem iskala pravo vijolično šminko in potem sem na spletu našla tole. Ko sem bila v šopingu v Grazu, niso imeli več veliko odtenkov in na koncu sem sprobala še tole na mojih ustnicah in sem se takoj odločila zanjo. Barva mogoče ni vsakdanja in zgleda mogoče čudno v embalaži, ampak je res lep odtenek.

Hello :)
I decided to start with new series called "shop my stash". It sounds a bit weird, but let me tell you that everytime I use up a specific product I look at my collection and kind of "shop" and choose what I want to use next.
Because of that, I decided to show you what I have or use and give you a short overview, We'll start off with face cleansers. I have to mention that I think face cleansers are not worth spending a lot of money on. You can get the same effect while using the cheaper ones.

Živjo :)
Tokrat sem se odločila, da ustvarim serijo "shop my stash" oziroma "šoping moje zaloge". Mogoče zveni malo čudno, ampak običajno, ko mi zmanjka določenega izdelka, pogledam v mojo zbirko in "nakupujem" ter izbiram kaj bi naslednje porabila. 
Zaradi tega sem se odločila, da vam pokažem kaj se trenutno najde v moji zbirki in vam nekaj malega povem o izdelkih. Začela bom z izdelki za čiščenje obraza. Vsi so bolj namenjeni mešani do mastni koži, ker je to pač tip moje kože. Moja logika pri izdelkih za čiščenje obraza je, da ni važna cena, saj tudi najbolj poceni izdelki delujejo prav enako. Zato ne zapravljajte velike količine denarja za takšne izdelke, raje si kupite dražjo, učinkovito kremo.

Hello girls !
Finally, I'm reviewing something from The Body Shop. I was so excited to try everything I got last month in Graz, but at the same time I was really overwhelmed with the amount of products that came in the advent calendar. Oh well, on to the review...
I chose the "sample" sizes which have 50ml of product inside. The full-size is: 200ml.

Živjo !
Končno je tukaj ocena "enega" izmed The Body Shop izdelkov. Seveda sem po velikem šopingu v Grazu bila popolnoma navdušena in sem komaj čakala, da vse sprobam, pa vendar sploh nisem vedela kje naj začnem, ker sem tudi v koledarju dobila ogromno stvari. No, pa preidimo k oceni...
Sama sem izbrala majhne različice, ki vsebujejo 50ml izdelka (6€ - Avstrija). Običajne embalaže imajo 200ml (16€ - Avstrija).

Hello again :)
I've used up another bunch of products *proud face*, so it's time to share my thoughts with you girls. Again I'm almost done with some more, but this is already a huge empties, so I didn't want to bore you too much.

Hello readers !
This month I went to my neighbour country and I spend some € (actually a lot). Since we don't have a MAC and The Body Shop store in my country, I didn't care how much I'd spend. You can see that huge haul here.
Also I bought some other "essentials" in my country which you'll see here. And I'm still spending money on some things I really don't need - do you have any good advice for shoppaholics ?

Hello,
I'm here again with a Lush review :)
This time I'm reviewing a sample of a face mask, however you'll see why I think I've tested it properly. I know I haven't yet bought a full-size version of this mask, however I already had 4 samples of this, which combined together lasted me for abour 12 uses and I think I can review it properly for you.

Živjo,
še ena ocena Lush izdelka :)
Tokrat bom govorila o vzorcu maske za obraz z imenom Cupcake. Kljub temu, da je vzorec, je kar velik in ker sem že imela 4 vzorce te maske, sem jo lahko uporabila nekje 12 krat, zato menim, da jo vseeno lahko dobro ocenim za vas. Prodajalko lahko pri nakupu lepo prosite za vzorček kakšnega izdelka in vam ga bodo verjetno z veseljem podarile :)

Hello readers :)
As a result of my last shopping trip, here's a MAC short review with my thoughts.. Hope you'll find this helpful.
You'll see, both product are quite brownish. Fun fact: my first lipstick was a similar color. I remember going into a drugstore with my mom and picking out a brown shade, which she approves as well.

Živjo bralke :)
Kot rezultat mojega šoping dneva v Grazu, je tukaj manjša ocena oziroma mnenje o dveh MAC izdelkih za ustnice. Upam, da vam bo v pomoč.
Kot boste videle sta oba izdelka precej rjavkasta. Naj povem, da je moja prva šminka bila podobnega odtenka, mogoče svetlejša. Spomnim se, ko sem bila še mlajša sem z mamo obiskala nekakšno drogerijo in se odločila za rjav odtenek kateri je bil tudi njej všeč. Takrat so bili rjavi odtenki popularni in spet se vračajo nazaj.

* recommend retail price

p.s. Do you see anything you like ?
For me the collection is not that special, however that heart blush and blush brush look cute ! I might buy them :P

Hello there again with another review !
I've been waiting to share my opinion about these products for a long time, due to having too many unused products. I finally started using these Mama Mio products and have also finished a few of them. Because I heard a lot of nice things about Mama Mio products before, I was excited to try these. I will keep it short because there's already 5 of the products so keep reading :)

These are sample sizes, however you get a nice amount of products to try them out properly.
All of the products smell citrusy and fresh, however it's a really interesting and unique scent, but not overpowering.

Živjo, še ena ocena za vas !
Dolgo sem čakala, da vredu sprobam te izdelke saj sem imela preveč drugih za porabit. Nekaj teh Mama Mio izdelkov sem že porabila in končno je tukaj ocena. O Mama Mio izdelkih sem slišala veliko lepega. Res je, da je veliko izdelkov za nosečnice ter mamice, pa imajo tudi nekaj izdelkov za kožo za navadne ali pa aktivne uporabnice. 

Izdelki so v manjši različici, ampak še vedno je v pakiranju dovolj izdelka, da dodobra testiraš.
Vsi imajo citrusen, svež vonj, pa vendar je zanimiv in kar unikaten ter ni preveč močen.

Hello !
Today I decided to do a separate haul because it is precious to me, especially because there are many products I wasn't able to get in my country. Maybe this haul is not that big, but I did spend s**t load of money.

Hello,
so today I'm really excited to share this review with you. Lush Slovenia contacted me to try something from them, so I couldn't decide what I'd like to try and then they surprised me with this body lotion. A long time ago I talked about Dream Cream body lotion and was so excited to see what this one is about.

You know, when you walk into a Lush shop you can smell that distinct smell each time. I never knew what it was, so when I received this cream I knew it was a blend of this Karma scent mixed with some other sweet scent. They also sell soap, solid perfume and more in this scent, as it was one of the first products from Lush.

Živjo,
danes imam zanimivo oceno za vas. Ko so me kontaktirali iz Lush Slovenija sem bila zelo vesela ampak se nisem mogla odločit kateri izdelek bi rada preizkusila, ker jih imam toliko na seznamu želja, pa vendar so mi na koncu poslali ta losjon za telo. Pred letom sem govorila o Dream Cream losjonu za telo, zato me je zelo zanimalo kako se bo tale obnesel.

Če ste že kdaj obiskale Lush trgovino, potem veste, da ima vsakokrat enak značilen vonj. Nikoli nisem vedela kaj točno je ta vonj, mislila sem, da je mešanica vonjav vseh izdelkov. Ko pa sem dobila ta losjon sem vedela, da je mešanica tega Karma vonja ter še nečesa sladkega. Ta Karma vonj obstaja še v obliki parfuma, mila itd., saj je bil eden izmed prvih Lush izdelkov.

Hello <3

Hello readers !
After a long time, here's another manicure. I just wanted to show you how pretty this nail polish is.
In my country we don't get every single limited collection from Essie, so I was super happy when we got some glitter ones from previous collections + this little gem.
I don't like wearing shiny nail polishes, however recently I've been into silver color on my nails and as I love Essie nail polishes (because they last a long time on me & I like painting my nails only once a week) - I totally fell in love with this one !

Hello :)

Hello, lovely readers :)
I know we're only in November, however Lush always brings out their Christmas product very early.
And as I've discovered these products last year and I'm still loving them this year, I decided to share my opinion on these :)

Snow Fairy shower gel

Again I tried staying away from drugstores, because I don't particularly need anything, however I bought some bits and then I got spoilt..like a lot :P

Živjo :)
Danes bom napisala malo drugačno objavo. Zdelo se mi je, da bi bilo zabavno, da malo poročam o tem kar sem delala pretekli vikend.

Torej, najprej nisem vedla, da obstaja več takšnih frizerskih seminarjev v naši državi. Nekatera dekleta s katerimi smo skupaj delale, so bile tako že na večih takšnih dogodkih. Sama pa sem za točno tale seminar izvedela preko FB. Seminar je prirejal frizerski studio in trgovina z lasno kozmetiko: Studio MA. Prirejali so seminar s podjetjem Tigi. Ker je seminar bil v Mariboru sem se odločila, da sodelujem, pa da vidimo če me bodo izbrali. Preko spleta sem tako izpolnila obrazec in iz naših prijav so izbrali neko število deklet, ki smo potem prišle na "casting" na sam sedež.
Sicer sem sama bila izbrana kot zadnja, verjetno tudi zato, ker se nisem trenutno želela barvat, razen preliv bi mi ustrezal. Seveda sem bila vesela, ko sem le bila izbrana, saj je to pomenilo neko novo izkušnjo, pričesko ter smo punce tudi bile plačane.

Punce je izbiral Carl Zachhau, ki izvaja takšne seminarje po praktično celem svetu, ter je učitelj in "hair guru". Ni šlo za lepotno tekmovanje, temveč je frizer izbiral punce glede na to, kakšna je bila njegova vizija, torej kako jih postričt, pobarvat ter kako bi izgledale za sam šov. Nekaterim je malce od bližje pogledal lase, ter se hitro odločil. Vse je spraševal po barvah za lase ter dolžini striženja. Ko nas je izbral nam je na hitro povedal kako je glede naslednjega dne, ter da moramo imeti črno spodnje perilo - saj so vsa oblačila črna ter črne petke.

I decided to introduce you to my favorite products from the brands I use the most. I hope I'll keep these posts as good as possible and interesting.
Essence was the first brand I tried from makeup. I know firstly I bought a blue eyeshadow (haha, don't ask), so this is a good start.

Odločila sem se, da poskušam narediti objave najljubših izdelkov določenih znamk, kolikor mi bo moja zbirka ličil dopuščala :) Upam, da vam je to interesantno.
Kot prvo znamko sem izbrala Essence, ker se mi zdi, da je bila prva znamka ličil, ki sem jo sprobala. Vem, da sem si najprej kupila senčilo svetlo modre barve - groza, vem. 

Živjo !
Pred kratkim so meni in še nekaj blogerkam poslali nekaj Labello izdelkov. Jaz sem bila zelo vesela, ker Labello izdelke že dolgo uporabljam (kot verjetno večina punc) in nikoli ni preveč balzamov za ustnice !
Spomnim se, da je verjetno en izmed prvih balzamov za ustnice bil Labello Cherry (zdaj je že seveda prenovljen in malce drugačen).



Morem priznat, da nekaj časa sploh nisem uporabljala Labello izdelkov, ker se ustnice na nekaj navadijo in potem se mi zdi, da en izdelek ne deluje več enako.

Živjo :)
Tukaj je drugi del izdelkov, ki sem jih prejela od Kozmetike Afrodita. Tokrat vam predstavljam linijo: Coconut Milk. Spet priporočam, da se o vonju prepričate z obiskom drogerije :).

Hello again :)
I'm here with another empty products post. I feel like I've accumulated a lot of empties again. When I was ready to take pictures of empty products, they just kept on coming, so I'm quite excited to throw these things away. I think next time I need to do this sooner. Let's read more about what I used up...



Oriflame Milk & Honey Softening Hand Lotion - At the beginning I was turned off because it smells like honey, because I don't like honey scents in any of my products. The texture is liquidy, however it instantly moisturizes your hands and sinks in quickly + it does leave your hands soft. I love the packaging - the pump is great ! The scent kind of grew on me and I liked this product at the end.
(Re)purchase: probably not (not my favorite scent + I got it as a gift).

Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Repairing Lotion (for extra dry skin - with Nourishing Shea Butter) - I've had this for such a long time and finally I used it up. It nicely moisturizes your skin and is not too greasy, however it still takes time to sink into your skin. The whole claim: Moisturizes for 7 days is so fake. No moisturizer can do that. I did really like the scent.
Repurchase: maybe

Balea Mango Mambo Shower gel - A really yummy shower gel. I love mango scents, so this one was perfect for me. Balea shower gels are so cheap (1€) and they lather nicely and I forgot how nice they actually are. This one was a winner for me. Unfortunately it is a LE, however you can still find them in DM drugstore, but I have too many shower gels, so I shouldn' repurchase it.
Repurchase: definitely would (too many shower gels + it is LE)

Subrina Perfume Drops shower gel - Nice shower gel, however nothing special. The scent was ok, quite perfumed - as the name says. It did clean my skin well.
Repurchase: probably not (I like changing my shower gels all the time)



Gaia Creams Palmarosa & Thistle face and body cream - This was interesting. It was a nice thick buttery consistency and it wuickly melted when in touch with heat. It was nicely moisturizing. The smell was very natural, a bit herbal. However, I didn't think it was that special. Again, it was "gifted" to me.
(Re)purchase: nope (just because I'm not into those natural creams) 

Afrodita Young & Pure Purifying foam (face wash) - I'm not really a lover of face foams. This one was nicely refreshing and cleaned my face like all the purifying products usually do. I got it for free so I eventually used it up.
(Re)purchase: nope (not a fan of foam products)




Borotalco Invisible deodorant - Not my favorite one. It does the job, doesn't leave too much white cast, however when you spray it, you can choke on it - it is so strong (even more than Rexona). It just didn't impress me.
Repurchase: nope

Dove Invisible Dry Anti White Marks Deodorant - Nice smelling deodorant, a bit fresh, but it had that powdery scent. I don't think it left any white marks on my clothes, however it was not good in the summer - totally didn't protect me from sweating or bad smell.
Repurchase: nope

Balea Young deospray Nasch Katze (mini) - Oh my, this was horrible. I bought it to keep it in my handbag. The smell was just so sweet and suffocating. I'm not one of those people who would spray & smell it in the store, so I didn't know what the smell would be like. Protection was ok.
Repurchase: nope



Essence My Skin Caring Cleansing Wipes - These smelled really nice, however they were'nt the best for removing makeup. At least I got them as a gift.
(Re)purchase: nope

New Zealand Volcanic Clay black head nose strip - I love nose strips. This one wasn't anything special, however it did the job.
Purchase: nope

L'erbolario Tiare shampoo - A really nice sample. For me it was enough to wash my hair once and was left with even spare. It was nicely clarifying and it left my hair smelling real nice.
Repurchase: nope (just because it's expensive)

Eubos Liquid Washing Emulsion (instead of soap) - A very mild smelling soap. Did the job great and it didn't dry out my skin on the hands.
Purchase: nope

Argan Oil hair oil - This is suppossed to be a Slovenian argan oil. It smelled really nice ! It worked nicely, like some hair oils do.
Repurchase: maybe



H&M lipgloss - I've had this one for such a long time. I like some of the h&m lipglosses because they can be quite nice. This one wasn't sticky or too watery + the brush was awesome !
Repurchase: maybe (but can't, they don't sell these anymore)

Labello Med Protection lip balm - I think Labello lip balms are quite average, however some of them can be really good. This was not the case. This did not moisturize my lips at all. I had to put it on and on and it still didn't work, plus the smell was just mehh.
Repurchase: nope

Essence Viva Brasil lip balm (01 Colour Parade) - The worst lip balm thingy experience ever. It had a nice pink color and it was really moisturizing, however it started crumbling because of all of the layers. Then I threw it on the floor and it broke and I fixed it and it still kept breaking. Horrible.
Repurchase: nope (was LE + it crumbled)

REPURCHASED/USED UP MULTIPLE TIMES

Schwarzkopf Taft Power Hair Spray - My forever repurchased product. It has a great hold & it just works. Also I usually buy this on sale. For the girls who don't like the extra power & a bit of "hard to brush" hair, I wouldn't recommend this. However I usually spray this on and then quickly brush through so it looks nice & neat.
Repurchase: already have
Schaebens Peel-off mask - Oh my this smells so good - tropical. It is kind weird because it's a blue masque & it has shimmer in it. However I love it & it does it's job.
Repurchase: always

Love and Lemons, Simona
