Hello again,
today I have on the "menu" another monthly haul :) I know I haven't posted any good stuff this week but life happened and I got busy, however I bought some stuff this month & also got stuff :P
Well now I realized I haven't been buying that many cosmetics and makeup this month, just because I am really trying to use up a lot of my older stuff, but I have plans for some purchases in a few days :P
Let's see what I got ... :) If you want me to review anything just ask ^^

Repurchase: yes (if they'll still have this or any other fruity scent)


Repurchase: yes (also maybe I'll try different version next time
Repurchase: maybe


Nail repair Microcell 2000 - This is my ultimate love for my split and broken nails. Everytime I use this stuff my nails just get cured and pretty. I know for some of people it doesn't work but for me it works perfect ! Keep in mind that I've tried Essie's Grow Richer and it did nothing for me (dissapointed !)
Repurchase: always (until I find something better - I'm open for recommendations ! :) )

Živjo,
spet ena objava za tiste, ki uporabljate kontaktne leče :) Tokrat sem dobila super paket s spletne trgovine moje-lece.si . Najprej vam bom predstavila te enodnevne leče in naredila primerjavo z lečami, ki sem jih že sama uporabljala. Za zanimivost :P - moja dioptrija je -2,5 (če se spoznaš na to).
Sama sem do zdaj vedno uporabljala 14-dnevne mehke leče (Acuvue Oasys) in sem bila malce živčna, da bi sprobala katere druge ampak tokrat se mi je ponudila priložnost in sem si hitro oblikovala svoje mnenje...torej beri naprej ;)






Pozitivne lastnosti:
+ leče so zelo tanke zato se jih ne občuti
+ so zelo udobne
+ najbolj jih priporočam ljudem, ki jih ne nosijo vsakodnevno, tako se leče ne uničijo saj jih preprosto kar vržeš v koš po 1 dnevu
+ če si pozabljiva ali si pozabiš zapisat kdaj si odprla nov paketek leč ti bodo te le to olajšale
+ uporaba novega para leč vsak dan se mi zdi bolj higienska

Negativne lastnosti:
- ker so leče tanjše se mi je zdelo, da sem imela malce večje težave pri vstavljanju
(nasvet pri vstavljanju ! lečo moraš namestiti na oko zelo visoko - ne direktno na očesno zrklo, to je meni pomagalo)
- ker so leče tanjše se rade premikajo (ob mežikanju se same namestijo nazaj - če ne nosiš leč naj te to ne skrbi, ker to ne pomeni, da slabše vidiš  !)

Kje jih lahko dobiš ? tukaj (klik na povezavo)





Pozitivne lastnosti:
+ leče so tanke
+ so udobne
+ leče se ne premikajo preveč po očeh
+ en par leč obdržiš 14 dni

Negativne lastnosti:
- vstavljanje je zelo lahko
- četudi leč ne nosiš vsak dan jim rok trajanja teče saj so vmes v stiku z zrakom ter nečistočami
- po nekaj urah nošenja jih bolj občutiš (vendar ti lahko pri tem pomagajo kapljice za oči)
- na koncu - po nekje 2 tednih se mi zdi, da leče niso več tako učinkovite oziroma da malce slabše vidim
(to se mi je vedno zdelo - mogoče je pri ostalih drugače)

Kje jih lahko dobiš? tukaj (klik na povezavo)

Moje mnenje:
Oči imaš le ene in je zelo pomembno kako skrbiš za njih. Sama uporabljam 14-dnevne leče že nekje 5 let in lahko priznam, da sem jih tudi sama nosila več kot samo 14 dni, na kar te opozarjajo okulisti in optiki, da ni vredu saj si lahko poškoduješ oči ! Vendar dokler se ti to ne zgodi se ne zavedaš (na srečo še nisem imela problemov).
Tako se mi enodnevne leče kontaktne leče le zdijo nekako bolj higienske saj jih samo vržeš v koš med tem, ko 14-dnevne uporabljaš ta 2 tedna z vsakodnevnim čiščenjem z raztopino za leče (kar pa verjamem, da verjetno ne očisti 100% vsega). Še bolj jih priporočam tistim, ki jih potrebujejo samo za posebne priložnosti ali pa jim leče drugače ne ustrezajo pa jih vseeno radi kdaj nosijo. Zaradi premikanja po očeh jih ne bi ravno priporočala ob obisku bazena saj se lahko hitro zgodi, da katera pade ven ob "sušenju" oči - no, če si zdrgneš oči po skoku v vodo! Če pa tega ne počneš in samo plavaš pa seveda ni problema !
Zaradi udobja bi vseeno izbrala 14-dnevne saj se mi zdi, da mi ne "poplesavajo" po očeh. Kljub temu, da velikokrat pozabim, da je moj dvotedenski rok leč potekel si zdaj zapisujem datum kdaj sem jih začela uporabljat. Se mi je pa že zgodilo, da sem eno lečo uničila in potem je šla samo v koš in je šel tudi delček denarja v koš. Tako pri enodnevnih lečah enostavno nadomestiš tisto 1 uničeno :).

Torej, to je moja izkušnja z lečami, če imaš tudi svojo jo zapiši spodaj :)

Today I decided to review one of my favorite brush sets. I don't own that many brushes, but I do own Synthetic 24 pcs brush set from BH cosmetics and a set of Real Techniques ones, however the one I'm going to review today I was impressed with immidiately.

BH Cosmetics says:
This sleek, Eco-friendly 10 piece brush set is made with all natural & recycled materials, allowing you to create stunning looks while protecting the environment! Each brush comes with soft, fluffy synthetic bristles, making it easy achieve a flawless makeup application. The naturally-dyed, lime green bamboo handles add a modern look to your everyday brushes and come with recycled aluminum ferrules. Each set comes in a soft linen case that will protect your brushes when on the go.





They DO NOT SHED at all ! Seriously, I've had these makeup brushes for more than 4 months and none of the brushes shed even one ''hair'' !  Comparing to black synthetic BH cosmetics brushes which do shed a bit. But these ones don't !
They are SOFT. I wouldn't say they're the softest makeup brushes (because I haven't tried other brands rather than RT & BH), but are really soft ! I recently bought Real Techniques brushes & I think these BH eco brushes are softer ! So that surprised me :)

The packaging or so called ''brush roll'' is very thin, but I like that because it is so small to store  & also very convenient for traveling !
The bad thing is that it does get dirty but because it's made of fabric you can wash it easily! :)
The handles are sturdy & I like how they are made from bamboo :)

Putting on makeup & blending it out is really easy with these brushes.
Eventhough the tips are "white" they are easy to clean !



With every set you find a brush that you won't need or you didn't find in other sets. This one I mainly bought because there are many eyeshadow and small brushes so it is really convinient & I think now I use most of them ! I just think the powder brush is a bit too small for me - I'm used to huge powder brush I have from MUA.

Brushes I use the most: 2. Angled blush brush, 4. Blending brush, 5. Contour blending brush, 7. Flat shadow brush.

I would really recommend this kit for any makeup beginner or even anybody, because it has the most important brushes :) I like it more than the 24 pcs - black set of BH cosmetics brushes.

I hope this review was helpful !

You can get them here.
Unfortunately they don't stock these currently at licila.si

This is what I have currently on my nails :3
Yesterday was such a gloomy day :S ... so I decided to finally paint my nails with this gorgeous NEON color. I ordered this one & also Bubblegum from Asos.com (they're on sale, but Bubblegum is sold out) . This was my first time trying Models Own nailpolishes. This formula is not thick but when you put it on it is opaque and it dries quickly :) Also if you have longer nails you could put on three coats because the white on your nail tips shows throught :P
All in all I'm really satisfied with this color as it is my first neon nailpolish.
Under the lights it looks a bit more pinky coral, but under sunlight I feel like it is more of a true coral with an orange undertone.

Živjo :)
Pred tednom sem ponovno prejela izdelek spletne trgovine lecka.net. Tokrat je to odstranjevalec ličil in sicer je losjon. Pričakovala sem, da bo bolj gost, vendar je tekoč.

Nekaj o izdelku:
Negovalni losjon za odstranjevanje ličil je izdelan na vodni osnovi in vsebuje izključno ne-ionske sestavine, pH losjona je enak pH-ju solz, zato je posebej primeren za osebe z zelo občutljivimi očmi in osebe, ki uporabljajo kontaktne leče. Losjon nežno in učinkovito odstrani očesni make up, koži okrog oči pa vrača napetost.





Prednosti:
+ dobro očisti ličila z oči, še bolje pa tudi vsa ličila z obraza
+ ob uporabi me ne pečejo oči (tudi če tekočina pride v oči)
+ embalaža ima majhno luknjico, zato ven ne steče preveč tekočine
+ tudi, če imaš v očeh leče in si očistiš oči z odstranjevalcem je vse vredu (mene nič ne moti)

Slabosti:
- srednje močen vonj (mene ne moti)
- cena je malce visoka


Kje lahko dobiš tale odstranjevalec ličil ? -> Negovalni losjon za odstranjevanje ličil (klik na povezavo)

Moje mnenje:
Losjon je prijeten za odstranjevanje ličil in mi je všeč uporabnost. Sicer sama nimam pretirano občutljivih oči, vendar me kljub temu kdaj pečejo ob uporabi odstranjevalcev ličil, tale losjon pa mi na srečo ni povzročal težav :) Če tudi ti rada sprobavaš nove odstranjevalce ličil, bi bil mogoče ta zanimiv zate :)

Pred kakšnim tednom sem prejela paketek Vipera kozmetike s spletne drogerije e-parfumerija . V bistvu sem imela srečo in sem kot nagrado prejela maskaro, ampak so se odločili, da mi pošljejo še senčke v oceno :)
Ocena bo tokrat samo v slovenščini (tudi zato,ker sem na slabem s časom :P, obljubljam pa v prihodnjem tednu še kaj bolj zanimivega)

Na strani pravijo: Vsak izdelek VIPERA kozmetike je dermatološko testiran , varen in ne povzroča alergij.

Tako, da če kateri ličila povzročajo alergije je mogoče to boljša alternativa.
Celotna Vipera ponudba: e-parfumerija.si/vipera (klik na povezavo).









Prednosti:
+ senčka je dobro pigmentirana ob nanosu s prstom
+ kljub temu, da je v plastični embalaži pa se odpira na "klik" in vsebuje majhno ogledalce na vrhu
+ večina bleščic, ki jih senčilo vsebuje ostane na vekah

Slabosti:
- ob nanosu s čopičem je pigmentiranost slabša
- senčilo žal ni dobro obstojno

Kje ga lahko najdete: e-parfumerija.si/vipera-neojoy (cena: 4,20 €)





Prednosti:
+ senčilo je lepo kremasto
+ priložen je tudi čopič, ki se mi vseeno zdi super za nanos
+ pigmentiranost je dobra (čeprav se tale senčka uporablja za podlago pod sencami)
+ bolje se obnese ob nanosu senčke čez to kremno bazo

Slabosti:
- na mojih vekah se zelo hitro začne nabirat v gubah, tudi ob uporabi primerja
- obstojnost ni najboljša

Kje ga lahko najdete: http://e-parfumerija.si/dreamcream (cena: 5,90 €)





Prednosti:
+ maskara omogoča dober volumen s tem, da ne podaljša trepalnic preveč (kar je meni osebno super saj od volumenske maskare ne pričakujem oziroma včasih nočem, da mi trepalnice preveč podaljša, ker imam že tako daljše trepalnice :) )  - na meni ima podoben učinek kot Maybelline Colossal Volume
+ ne povzroča grudic
+ ščetka trepalnice lepo loči
+ cena je nizka
+ ni preveč mokra niti suha

Slabosti:
- ščetka ni moja najljubša, pa vendar se v redu obnese

Kje jo lahko najdete: e-parfumerija.si/maskara (cena: 4,95 €)

Moje mnenje o vseh izdelkih:
Senčke mi niso najljubše, saj se na mojih vekah ne obnesejo dobro. Sicer bi pa raje sprobala še kašno bolj nevtralno barvo senčil v kamnu. Maskara pa je postala ena izmed mojih najljubših maskar saj ima točno takšne lastnosti, ki jih iščem pri maskarah. dober volumen, zelo črna barva, ne povzroča grudic in trepalnice lepo loči narazen !
To kozmetiko bi priporočala, če bi vam mogoče ustrezala saj je dermatološko testirana. Seveda pa najbolj priporočam maskaro, če iščete takšne lastnosti kot jaz !

Hi, lovely readers !
As by the title...I'm not going to talk about my favorite spring/summer lipstick shade obsession :3
Since maybe august 2013 I've been obsessing over peachy &coral lipsticks & over the past few months I've accumulated quite a few :) But I didn't include true orange shades, just because I only have 2 of them, but If you're interested - leave me a comment below ! (I'll maybe try to buy another orange lipstick)
Yes some of them are more on a coral side, but still kind of peachy !
I will give a small description about each one. Also all my swatches on the lips are on my bare lips so the color of my lips may be peaking out of the lipstick color :P (but that's how I wear them - I never put any kind of powder underneath)

Again I'm here with a brand: Makeup Revolution. The same day that my easter package from licila.si arrived I ordered some things for myself as well (you can see it here) :)
I think I'm going to basically review everything but here is the first part of that haul !
Because this is a new brand I wanted to share my opinion on these lipsticks as well because I kinda feel in love with them. The shades: Electric Love & Love a Hug

Živjo, spet sem tukaj z izdelki znamke: Makeup Revolution. Še isti ali naslednji dan, ko sem prejela paket velikonočnega zajčka z licila.si sem tudi sama opravila nakup in si naročila nekaj izdelkov (lahko vidiš tukaj). Verjetno bom vse ocenila, ampak tukaj je prvi del mojega nakupa.
Ker je to nova znamka sem se odločila, da podam svoje mnenje o teh ''šminkah" saj so me navdušile.
Izbrala sem dva odtenka: Electric Love in Love a Hug












Review:
Consistency: These are very creamy & glossy ! I immediately started loving them because they are really moisturizing & give your lips kind of "juicy" & glossy effect (although I don't like glosses but this is different :3)
Pigmentation: the pigmentation is not great, but these aren't meant to be normal lipsticks. You still get quite a nice wash of color with them ! So the pigmentation is between a lipstick and a lip butter. Also you can build them up a bit !
Packaging: packaging is not special but it is nice & more sturdy then the original lipstick version (which has a flimsy cap that is kinda falling off)
Price: I think these ''lipsticks'' are a bit pricey for what they are but I do love them :)

Price: 4,95 € (licila.si)

Ocena:
Tekstura: Te šminke oziroma balzami so zelo kremasti in sijoči ! Takoj so mi bili všeč saj so zelo vlažilni in dajo tvojim ustnicam nekakšen "sočen" in sijoč efekt (čeprav ne maram glosov je tukaj drugače)
Pigmentacija: pigmentacija ni odlična, ampak ti balzami niso namenjeni temu, da bi bili običajne šminke. Kljub temu pa vseeno na ustnicah pusti rahel odtenek barve ! Tako je pigmentacija med šminko in maslom za ustnice. Vseeno je malce možno pigmentacijo nadgradit.
Embalaža: ni kaj posebnega, je lepa in klasična ampak je boljša od običajnih Makeup Revolution šmink (pri katerih imam občutek, da bo pokrovček vsak čas padel dol - ker ni dobro pritrjen)
Cena: cena je malce previsoka glede na to za kakšno teksturo in koncept gre ampak pri drugih znamkah najdeš te ''šminke'' še za 1x višjo ceno.

Cena: 4.95 € -> najdeš jih tukaj (na dnu).

Meni so super in nimam nobenih pritožb ^^

What I would buy: definitely one of those lip glosses. The packaging looks like the one from Hourglass Cosmetics :) Overall I think this collection speaks: COLOR . I'm not that into color on my eyelids & none of the nailpolish shades look appealing to me. But if you're into that, then this is the collection for you :)
