Last year I discovered great Oval brush by Makeup Revolution and this year I bought this one. It has a nice shape to it and the bristles are super soft which makes applying foundation a dream, since it caresses the skin nicely. It is similar to Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, however so much softer. It might not be the best for very thick foundations, since you do need to dab more than usual, however it leaves your skin looking perfect.

Ta senčka je čudovita in zelo zanimiva saj ima "vodno" teksturo ter je na otip "bouncy". Zato jo je najboljše nanašati s prstom na celotno veko, ter rob zabrisati s čopičem. Zelo mi je všeč, ker se popolnoma posuši in ima na otip teksturo običajne senčke ter se ne odtisne in ne razpaca na mastnih vekah. Super je za vsakodneven videz, ali pa za dodajanje malce sijaja.

This is an unique eyeshadow with a water-like texture and bouncy effect. I apply it with my finger and blend with a brush. It instantly dries up to a powder formula, however you cannot move it around so it has a long lasting power on my eyelids. It's great for everyday look or to add some shine to your existing eye look.

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage - 010 Light Beige

In od najboljših k v redu, ampak ne navdušujočim pudrom. Izbor Catrice odtenkov je precej slab (ta puder je na voljo samo v štirih), pa vendar mi je najsvetlejši vredu, če ga malo posvetlim s kapljicami. Je zelo tekoč in se lepo zabriše. Če ga naneseš preveč, pa lahko izgleda koža zelo napudrana. Drugače mi je všeč videz podlage in ima tudi zelo dobro obstojnost. Žal pa včasih precej oksidira.

And from my favorite, to not that exciting but still okay foundations. Catrice has a very limited selection of shades and this foundation comes only in four. The lightest one is okay for me if I lighten it. Texture is very liquid, however it blends easily. Though if applied heavier, it can look powdery. I do really like the finished result, even though it sometimes oxidizes.

Paese Liquid Powder Double Skin - 20A

Še ena tekoča podlaga, ki daje bolj svež videz in je za suho kožo. Ponuja srednjo prekrivnost in naj bi bila celo vodoodporna. Vendar se meni ne zdi dovolj prekriven. Ima pa zanimiv aplikator - podoben tistemu za korektor, vendar je ogromen. To zna biti sicer malce nehigienično ampak obenem praktično.

Another foundation with fresher finish, for dry skin. It is supposed to have medium coverage while being waterproof. I don't think it has that much coverage. Though I really like the applicator, which looks like the one for concealer, however quite big. It can be very useful, however a bit unhygenic.

Christmas is really something special with Lush festive products. They're unique, nice smelling and mostly never disappoint me. Lush has gone completely naked this year and by that I mean that they are offering every single product in a form without a packaging. You can choose to buy it with or without.

Once Upon a Time losjon za telo brez embalaže

Lushevi losjoni in masažne ploščice so moje najljubše in vedno bodo zaradi odličnega vlaženja. 

Tokrat pa so ustvarili losjon v trdi obliki. Izgleda kot ena oblika masažne ploščice, vendar gre za klasičen losjon, ki ga lahko kupite v lončku, vendar so ga uspešno strdili. Na pogled morda izdelek ni tako zanimiv, vendar izgleda kot majhen lonček. Shranjevanje spet ni tako praktično, vendar ga sama dam kar v papirnato vrečko, ki jo dobite v Lushu. Tako je lahko losjon masten, vendar ne boste zmastili okolice. Vonj Once Upon a Time je preplet poparka jabolk, grenivkinega olja, limoninega olja ter limetinega olja, ki skupaj tvorijo svež, kisel ampak malce cvetličen pridih. Losjon sestavljajo kakavovo maslo, karitejevo maslo, murumuru maslo, ilipe maslo, jojobino olje ter mandljevo olje. Sama to "ploščico" nanesem s potegom po telesu, ter jo nato odložim na suho površino. Nato pa vsebino vtrem v kožo. Deluje kot olje za telo, zato se koža sveti in potrebuje nekje 1 uro, da se vpije. Potem je koža zelo mehka in navlažena. Losjon je res zelo hranljiv ter kožo lepo nežno odišavi.

Mene je vonj očaral, saj imam rada sveže vonje, ta pa je zame nekaj novega.

Cena: 11,95€ / 100g (Več o sestavinah tukaj.)

Solid body lotion sounds just like a massage bar and yes it works just like that, however there's only a difference that you could have it in a liquid version, so they just solidified this one. It is not that cute to store, but I love that it has the same shape as a pot. Even better option to store it, is in the paper pouch which you usually get in the store because it gets greasy, but stays fresh inside.

This one is scented with apple infusion, grapefruit oil and lemon oil, so it's nicely fruity and zesty but with a little twist of floral scent. The moisture comes from cocoa butter, shea butter, murumuru butter, ilipe butter, jojoba oil and almond oil. It starts to melt when being held, so it's very easy to apply and rub onto the skin. I apply it in single motion and put it onto a dry surface and then rub into the skin, so it absorbs better. I apply it before bed and because the oils just melt into your skin, you need to wait for an hour to completely eliminate shine. It leaves your skin super soft and very hydrated. 

I absolutely love the scent and am probably going to buy the one in a pot as well.

Twilight gel za tuširanje

Spominjam se kako so me spraševali po Twilight vonju, ko sem še delala v trgovini. Mini tuš gel pa je bilo možno dobiti le v enem darilnem paketu. Sprva nisem bila tako očarana nad vonjem, vendar mi je bila Twilight kroglica za kopanje prečudovita. Sama nisem ljubiteljica tradicionalnega vonja po sivki, vendar je Twilight vonj res poseben. Poleg sivke, vsebuje še ylang ylang ter tonko, ki mu doda prijeten sladek vonj. Tako je vonj sproščujoč ter malce sladek in zelo topel. Tekstura tuš gela pa je ob stiku z vodo zelo kremasta in prijetna na koži. Vonj na koži ostane nekaj časa, vendar ni tako močen kot na primer Snow Fairy tuš gel. Na vrh pa lahko dodate še Sleepy losjon za telo ali tudi nov Twilight sprej za telo.

Skratka, vonj je popoln za stresne dni ali seveda pred spanjem, za sproščanje. Mene pomiri in spravi v boljšo voljo.

When I worked at Lush, there were quite many people asking about the Twilight scent in a shower gel form because you could only get it in a certain gift box. I didn't understand it at first, however Twilight bath bomb was an absolute charm. I am not a lover of traditional lavender scent, however this one is different. Twilight scent is a mix of lavender, ylang ylang and tonka which gives it a sweet scent. I love that it's a bit sweet, however relaxing and it just makes you feel cozy. Shower gel is so nice and creamy on the skin. It's not overly scented, like Snow Fairy, so it's a bit more enjoyable. It leaves your skin soft and clean, plus it lasts on your skin for a bit. You can top it on with Sleepy body lotion which is amazing (more here). Also in regular line you can get Twilight spray. This scent is of course perfect before going to sleep or if you're stressed.

Plum Snow peneča kopel

 Innocence

Ingredients: castor and sunflower oil (moisturizing), polyphenols (anti-oxidant), beeswax (nourishes, protects), aloe vera  extract (soothing, repairing)

French Kiss lip balm comes in three different shades: Innocence - natural pink/colourless (vanilla-orange scent), Seduction - light pink (vanilla scent), Addiction - raspberry red (red berry scent).

To me Innocence leaves no color, while Seduction leaves a slight pink shade which looks like "My lips but better" color. And Addiction leaves light raspberry red shade. They all leave some shine. Plus the smells are interesting, while Innocence has a really refreshing scent, the Seduction is so sweet, it will make you want to eat it (thought they don't taste like chemicals if you lick them off).

Texture is a bit thicker, however nicely smooth (they describe it as ‘crème brûlée’), so you have to use it a couple of times, so it softens a bit. After that it's lovely and not greasy or sticky. But because of thicker texture, they seem to last on the lips for a bit longer. They are moisturising, enough for daily use, however if you have really dry lips, these won't help you.

Packaging is absolutely stunning: a plastic bottom with a cute, "instagrammable" wooden top. It's something different and special. Though because the balm is in a pot, I wouldn't carry it around with me since it can become quite unhygenic when applying it with not so clean fingers. So, I love using them at home or just before I go out, since I don't wear a lot of lipstick. I do appreciate that it contains many natural ingredients.

All in all, these are very lightly colored, so if you're looking for more color, these won't be for you. Other than that, they're very pleasant, nourishing and feel a bit like pampering. Also the scents are lovely.

Catrice Aquafresh Highlighting Eyeshadow - 020 Luminous Sensation

Max Factor Crème Bronzer - Light Gold

Po tem, ko je ta podlaga dolgo bila razprodana, sem jo končno dobila v moje roke. Gre za tekoči puder, ki naj bi zagotavljal visoko prekrivnost z enostavnim nanosom. Hkrati Ordinary ponuja ogromno odtenkov z različnimi podtoni, čeprav je svoj popoln odtenek zelo težko izbrati preko spleta, saj včasih nekatere podlage vsaj malo oksidirajo. Ker pa je moja polt zelo svetla, sem se odločila za najsvetlejši odtenek z nevtralnim podtonom, saj imam sama veliko rumenega podtona.

Odtenek je zame popoln, saj izgleda malce rumenkasto in se zelo lepo zlije z mojo kožo. Mislim, da je to prvi tekoči puder, ki popolnoma ustreza moji polti (niti Buff od Revlon Colorstay-a ni tako svetel). Tekstura je zelo tekoča in mazljiva. Žal pa se pri nekaterih čopičih poznajo potegi ščetin. Najboljši čopič za nanos pa je: ovalni, ki ima zelo goste ščetine.

Prekrivnost je minimalna do srednja, ter na koži izgleda naravno, pri čemer potrebujem več korektorja na mozoljčkih in nepravilnostih. Finiš pa je naraven in ne preveč sijoč. Sama ga fiksiram s pudrom v kamnu. Obstojnost ni dolga, vendar na obrazu s fiksiranjem ostane vsaj 5 ur brez razmazanja. Všeč mi je, ker je lahek in bo super tudi za bolj suho kožo pozimi. Najbolj pa mi je všeč svetel odtenek, ki na meni minimalno oksidira. Skratka, za čase, ko ne rabim nosit pudra po 10 ur. Cena pa je zelo prijazna denarnici ! (6,90€/30ml - tukaj). Je tudi v fajni, potovalni embalaži.

This hyped up product was sold out for such a long time and I finally got my hands on it. It's a foundation which promises high coverage in a light-weight formula, with a semi-matt finish. The best thing about it, is that you can choose from 21 shades which includes different undertones. Of course it's a bit hard to pick foundation online, however I am so pale that I simply chose the lightest shade with a neutral undertone. My skin has a lot of yellow undertone, so the shade 1.0 looks a little yellow as it should. It's the perfect match - even Revlon Colorstay Buff is not that pale. Texture is easily spreadable and quite liquid. Though there can be some brush strokes visible, so I recommend a dense brush like oval ones.
Coverage is minimal to medium and it looks very natural on the skin. That's why i really need concealer on problem areas (pimples, dark circles, redness...). And finished look is semi-matt which is fine for my oily skin, however I always top it with translucent powder to get the matt look. Longevity is not amazing, as it lasts on me for about 5 hours without creasing or smudging. I do like the light finish and it would be great for drier skin in the winter time. But mostly I love the super pale shade which suits me perfectly and does not oxidise. So I use it on the day when I know I won't have to wear foundation for 10 hours or so. Plus it's quite cheap (6,90€/30ml -here). And also the packaging is very useful and travel friendly.
