Lancôme pogosto sodeluje z modnimi oblikovalci in tako je tokrat združil moči z Olympio Le-Tan, ki je znana predvsem po oblikovanju unikatnih torbic, ki spominjajo na knjige. Pri čemer tudi paleta, ki so jo ustvarili, spominja na knjigo. Gre za omejeno izdajo.

Hi girls.

Lancôme has done some great collaborations with fashion designers (previously with Sonia Rykiel) for some limited collections. This time they've done a collection with Olympio Le-Tan, which is known by her interesting bag designs which look like actual books. Also the palette I'm going to introduce today, looks like a book and is very unique.

Of course, firstly we have to mention the packaging. It's embroidered with gold sides. It might be bulky, however it's a collector item, so I'm sure you won't be travelling with it.

Inside, you get four eyeshadows, four lip powders, a blusher and a glos. It also comes with an eyeshadow/lip brush.

Eye shadows feel buttery and are well pigmented. However with two shimmery shades, there is a fallout. Shade Nommé Désir is a muted white which is perfect for all over the lid or on the brow bone. Paradis is a deep burgundy which allows you to create a smokey eye or give some dimension to the eyes. Next up are shimmery shades. Brun Nacré is taupe and perfect for everyday. And a special one: Gris Argent which is glittery steel colour. The last one you have to apply wet since it's so glittery. However the effect is absolutely gorgeous and this shade would be perfect for winter parties or evening looks. I absolutely adore it. 

The lip powders are interesting as well. They are mess free and better option than lipsticks in the palette. I apply a gloss first and then tap on the lips with a chosen color. It creates a matt effect without being dry. Pigmentation is good and my favorite is the lightest shade: Couture.

Lastly is the blusher. The bow imprint is absolutely gorgeous and the texture is velvety soft. It's highly pigmented and creates a nice natural blushed finish. I love that it's not too rosy.

This palette is gorgeous and definitely a collector item as it looks amazing on the shelf. The price is quite steep, however it's a high-end brand and all the products inside have a high-quality and great longevity, even though the lip powder disappears when eatin/drinking.

Price: around 75€

Danes bom govorila o ličilih znamke, katere na blogu še nisem omenjala. To pa zato, ker nisem še ničesar preizkusila. Gre za znamko iz hiše Cosnova (pod okriljem imajo tudi Catrice in Essence) z bolj luksuznimi izdelki (in embalažami) ter malce dražjimi, a še vedno zelo dostopnimi ličili.

Hi girls.

Today I'll talk about a few products from a new-to-me brand. It's part of Cosnova company (which includes Catrice and Essence) and their line is all about more luxurious packaging and higher quality makeup with affordable prices.

Highlighting Drops 010 - 10,99€

Tole je zanimiv izdelek saj v drogerijah redkeje srečamo tekoče osvetljevalce. L.O.V. je tegale zapakiral v ozko embalažo s priročno pipeto. Izgleda tudi luksuzno (in težko), čeprav imam sama probleme pri takšnih izdelkih, ker moreš pipeto res počasi spravit nazaj, da se izdelek ne razlije naokrog. Tekstura je ravno dovolj tekoča. Osvetljevalec pa lahko vmešate v tekoči puder ali ga uporabite samostojno na želenih predelih. Ker imam sicer precej svetlo polt, mi ta svetel, skoraj bel odtenek z roza podtonom zelo ustreza in je opazen. Vsebuje pa tudi opazne bleščice, tako da ne daje samo sijaja, ki bi se zlil s kožo. Zato ta izdelek morda ni za tiste, ki imajo rade nežen, sijoč videz, ki izgleda zelo naravno. Mene te bleščice malce motijo, ker znajo poudariti povečane pore ter nepravilnosti, pa vendar v zmerni količini izgleda lepo na licih ter vekah.

It's rare to see a liquid highlighter in drugstores and this one is a bit more special. It comes in a pipette style packaging which is weighty and looks gorgeous. Pipette is not my favorite since you can spill a product out. The texture of the product is nice, liquid but not too much and you can easily apply it. You can mix it in with a foundation or just use it separately. Because I'm quite pale, this icy white shade with a hint of pink just suits me. Though if you're looking for just a glow, this one might not be for you as it contains small visible glitter. I'm not a fan of them, however in a moderate way, it can look very pretty on the cheeks and eyelids.

Hi girls.

It's time for empties again. And I've successfully used up another batch of Lush products. Some are Limited Edition but some are favorites amongst lushies. Previous Lush empties are available for your read here.

Živjo punce !

Čas je za "prazno kanto" izdelkov. Tokrat se spet fokusiram samo na Lush kozmetiko. Prejšnje Lush "empties" pa si lahko ogledaš tukaj.

I love Juicy shampoo

This is one of my favorite shampoos of all time. I've since found a drugstore love, however nothing beats the amazing fresh smell of this shampoo. It's infused with fruits, so of course it's very tropical and leaves you feeling refreshed (for oily hair). Because of seaweed it's also super softening, so I don't even need a conditioner.

Repurchase: yes

Ker imam masten tip las, sem preizkusila že vse možno in eden izmed mojih najljubših je prav ta. Je zelo tropsko odišavljen saj vsebuje izvlečke sadij, ki lepo očistijo lase, izvleček morskih alg pa lase zmehča, tako da ne potrebujem balzama. Daje osvežileno občutek, vendar las ne pusti popolnoma suhih. Vseeno ga običajno ne uporabljam pri vsakem pranju - 1x na teden uporabim še bolj očiščevalen šampon.

Ponoven nakup: da

Rose Jam shower gel

This is seasonal as well. Though sometimes you can get it in the gifts, all year around. It's rose scented shower gel, however it has a zesty vibe to it. It's quite strong but leaves your skin smelling very nice. Though I get easily bored with it.

Repurchase: maybe

Rose Jam je prav tako božičen vonj tuš gela, čeprav ga velikokrat lahko dobite v darilnih setih celo leto. Diši seveda po vrtnicah, vendar ima malce svež pridih. Vonj je precej močen in jaz se ga kar hitro naveličam.

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Snow Fairy shower gel

A Winter "limited edition" must have. This cotton candy shower gel is definitely something else. Either you love it or hate it. I'm not sweet scents kind of person, however I just love this one. It makes me feel warm, cozy and happy. Plus it's nicely thick and smooth.

Repurchase: yes

Limitirana izdaja tuš gela, ki pride na police vsako zimo/Božič (tudi letos bo na voljo). Ta tuš gel ima vonj po sladkorni peni in je pravi "cuker". Čeprav ne maram veliko sladkih vonjev, pa je ta res poseben in ga morem imet vsako zimo. Prav tako ima gosto teksturo.

Ponoven nakup: da

Snowman shower jelly

If you're not sure what is shower jelly: google it. It's an interesting product: like a soap, but jelly-like because of seaweed extract. It's softening on the skin and works as a shower gel. It might be funny to use, however I like it mostly for washing my hands. This one smells like carrots or actually like berries. It's very nice and only available around Christmas.

Repurchase: maybe

V tej embalaži se je skrival žele za tuširanje - Božična izdaja. Ta je imel vonj po korenčku oz. malce bolj po gozdnih sadežih. Res osvežilno in zanimivo. Za tuširanje pač ni tako priročen, ker hitro razpade na pol, vendar je precej zabaven. Na koncu sem ga uporabila kot milo za roke.

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Bouncy Bunny shower jelly

Another shower jelly. This one was shaped like a bunny because it was an Easter edition. Smelled like oranges, very fresh. And again I preferred using it as a soap.

Repurchase: maybe

In še en žele za tuširanje. Ta je bil v obliki zajčka, iz Velikonočne izdaje. Dišal je po pomarančah in sem ga uporabila za umivanje rok. 

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Karma Kream body lotion

Can't believe it's been almost 3 years since the first time I've tried Karma Kream. It's a rich body lotion with a very specific scent: patchouli mixed with sweet orange oil. So the scent is quite oriental but a bit fresh at the same time. If you like, you like it, otherwise you just don't. When you apply it, the scent lingers until the next day. However the skin is also left very moisturised and happy. Lush body lotions are really the best for hydration !

Repurchase: probably not (have found a new favorite scent: Sleepy)

Minilo je že kar 3 leta odkar sem preizkusila ta losjon. Gre za bogat losjon z masli in olji, ki dobro navlaži kožo ter jo pusti mehko - ob nanosu zvečer, je koža še zjutraj zelo mehka in odišavljena. Posebnost losjona pa je poseben orientalski vonj: preplet pačulija in sladke pomaranče. Tako ima vseeno svež pridih. Lushevi losjoni so res moji najljubši saj mi najbolje navlažijo kožo.

Ponoven nakup: verjetno ne, ker sem odkrila novi najljubši vonj: Sleepy

Ocean Salt face scrub

I feel like I haven't mentioned this product on my blog enough. You can read a review here. It's a great face scrub (can also be used on body), which leaves your skin soft and bright. Even though it can be harsh - you can use a tiny amount mixed with water, I just love the way it makes my skin look.

Repurchase: yes

Tega izdelka morda na blogu ne omenjam dovolj. Celotno oceno pa si lahko preberete tukaj. Gre za odličen piling za obraz (lahko ga uporabljate tudi na telesu) na osnovi morske soli, ki zmehča kožo ter skupaj z limetami poskrbi za sijoč videz. Super je tudi za čiščenje por. Sicer zna biti grob, vendar lahko majhno količino zmešate z več vode. Občutek na koži pa je čudovit.

Ponoven nakup: seveda

Oatifix face mask

This was my saviour during colder months (have a read about it here). My skin got very dry an flaky, so this face mask helped me a lot. It is very thick and a bit oily, so it's very hydrating. Plus it calms the skin. Also it smells like cookies, so that's another bonus. It surprises me that it doesn't dry down on the skin, so you just remove it with cloth and a bit of water. I'll exchange my 5 pots for this one this winter as well :)

"Repurchase": yes

Pozimi sem pisala o tej maski za obraz, saj mi je rešila suho kožo (več tukaj). Moja koža se je lupila in medtem, ko nobena krema ni pomagala, je maska opravila svoje delo. Ima zelo gosto teksturo, ki je ekstra vlažilna. Na koži se sploh ne posuši in jo nato odstraniš z toplo vodo in kakšno krpico. Verjetno se bo to zimo spet znašla v moji rutini.

"Ponoven nakup": da 

Eyes Right mascara

Yes, Lush does mascara as well. It has only 3 synthetic ingredients and is infused with fresh wheat grass to condition the lashes. Plus most girls which have very sensitive eyes, love it. I dislike the packaging because the brush can be so awkward and you can't get a lot of product out. Though I liked the natural effect it had on my lashes: it's lengthening, not so much volumizing, but it's quite black too.

Repurchase: probably not

Tako je, Lush ima v svoji kolekciji tudi maskaro. Ta vsebuje minimalno količino sintetičnih sestavin ter izvleček pšenične trave, ki neguje trepalnice. Primerna je tudi za občutljive oči ("občutljivke" jo precej hvalijo). Na žalost pa ima malce smotano embalažo: je tako majhna ter iz nje ne spraviš vsega produkta. Učinek na trepalnicah pa je meni sicer všeč: podaljša trepalnice, doda malce volumna in je zelo črna. Vseeno pa ni takšnega wau učinka kot pri običajnih maskarah.

Ponoven nakup: verjetno ne

Santa's lip scrub

Another seasonal product. If they bring it out this year, you have to get it ! It's Coca Cola flavoured - so yummy. As any of their scrubs, it's effective and nice, however I really love this flavor.

Repurchase: yes

Še en sezonski ampak čudovit izdelek. Piling za ustnice z Božičnim vonjem/okusom po Coca Coli. Ta je meni eden najljubših, ker je enostavno yummy ter dobro odstrani odmrle celice z ustnic.

Ponoven nakup: seveda
