The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops - Lightening

Definitivno rešitev za porcelanasto polt in vse bledokožke, so te kapljice. Imajo moč posvetlitve pudra ter nevtraliziranja tona. Enostavno se zmešajo s tekočim pudrom ter ne spremenijo teksture. Posvetlitev pa je takoj opazna. Dandanes je res moja rešitev pri tekoči podlagi.

This product is a must for pale skin tones. Drops have a powder of lightening and neutralising the tone of your favorite foundation. They blend easily and don't change the texture of foundation. And the result is visible and perfect. It's a makeup saviour for me..

Mac Strobe Cream

Tale krema oziroma baza za pod ličila, je bila ena izmed najboljših odkritij v začetku leta. Super je za suho kožo, saj osveži videz suhe kože. Na začetku izgleda precej belo ter ima perlast videz, vendar se lepo zlije s kožo ter ne pusti mastnega občutka. Sama jo nanesem na bolj suhe predele kože, da lažje nanesem tekočo podlago in tudi lepše izgleda na suhi koži, saj se ne minimizira videz razpokanosti in podobno.

This makeup base was a highlight of the beginning of the year. It's great for dry skin or if you just want a bit more fresher look. It looks very white and pearlescent, however it blends into the skin very quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. I use it on drier spots of my face, to ensure my foundations glides on easier and looks better.

Paese rice powder

Tega izdelka sem se pa najbolj razveselila poleti. Namreč, ta prosojni puder v prahu vsrka vsa olja s kože ter tudi preprečuje, da bi se hitro svetila. Je res eden izmed najboljših pudrov v prahu.

This powder is probably one of the best translucent ones out there. I've tried a few but this one blew me away. It keeps my skin shine free for many hours, plus it completely mattifies the skin. It is just great for oily skin.

Zoeva Silk Finish Brush

Lansko leto sem odkrila Makeup Revolution ovalni čopič za nanašanje tekočega pudra, letos pa sem kupila enega od Zoeve. Malce spominja na Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, vendar je bolj okrogel in tisočkrat bolj mehek. To mi je najbolj všeč, saj se občuti tako prijetno na koži. Lepo zabriše podlago, čeprav je pri gostejših pudrih potrebno več truda.

Benefit Rockateur Blush

Tole mini rdečilo sem kupila v Londonu. Super je, ker je v potovalni embalaži, tako da ga vzamem povsod. Doma ga sicer morda ne uporabljam toliko. Super je za vse tone polti saj je takšen univerzalen breskvasto roza odtenek.

I bought this mini blush in London and have been loving it since, mostly for travelling. It's a really nice pinky peachy shade which is very suitable for all skin tones. Pigmentation is great, so I need just tiny amount, plus it lasts all day long. Of course you could find a dupe, however I do really like this one.

Max Factor Crème Bronzer - Light Gold

Ta bronzer sem že velikokrat omenila in zasluži si še zadnjo omembo leta. Prvo kot prvo, je super za svetlo polt. Ne le da odtenek izgleda zelo naravno, temveč pristaja moji polti, ki ni tako porjavela. Tekstura je fina in se lepo zlije s kožo.

I've mentioned this bronzer quite a few times, so let's do it again. This one is perfect for my pale skin which doesn't get that tanned. It looks very natural and beautiful on the skin. And it has the same lovely texture as their Creme Puff blushes.

Catrice Aquafresh Highlighting Eyeshadow - 020 Luminous Sensation

Živjo punce.

Zadnje čase nisem testirala veliko krem, zato tudi o negovalnih izdelkih ni bilo toliko govora na blogu. Le te ste bolj našle v "empties" objavah. Seveda imam samo en obraz in nimam možnosti testiranja več krem. Nekaj pa sem jih končno spraznila, tako da je prišlo na vrsto nekaj negovalnih izdelkov. Le ti so tudi novejši na poličkah in če te zanima kako delujejo, beri naprej...

Hi girls.

I haven't been trying that many creams lately, since I had so many that needed to be empties. That's why I own a lot of unopened ones, because one face cannot test that many. However I tested just a few skincare products which I will talk about today. These are a bite newer to the store, so if you'v been wondering how they work, keep on reading...

Soraya Care & Control Ultra Mat Cream for mixed and oily skin

Pred kar nekaj časa sem prejela to matirno kremo skupaj z masko, katere pa še trenutno nisem preizkusila. Najprej kar sem opazila je to, da krema zelo sveže diši po limonah, kar mi je všeč. Krema nima ravno posebej vlažilnih sestavin, razen glicerina. Prav tako pa ne vsebuje slabih alkoholov, ki bi mi izsušili kožo. Sicer pa vsebuje Dimethicone (silikon), kateri meni ne povzroča težav. Skratka, krema se zelo hitro vpije in lepo matira kožo. Najbolj pa mi je všeč, da je super baza za pod ličili. Se ne lupi in podlaga se zelo lepo razmaže. Čeprav se svetim po treh urah, pa mi trenutno to ni nadležno.

I was sent Soraya mattifying cream and mask a while ago. Finally I used up my favorite mattifying cream and I gave this one a go. I haven't tried the mask though. So, first thing that I've noticed is: the very fresh and zesty smell which I like. I cannot say that it contains anything hydrating other than glycerine. Gladly it doesn't contain any bad alcohols, so it won't dry out your skin. It does contain Dimethicone, which is silicone, however I don't have trouble with these. Other than that, it matifies my skin just enough and is great base for makeup. It doesn't flake off or anything and makeup spreads easily. I still get greasy after 3 hours, however I don't mind it these days.

V novembru sem prejela celotno novo hidratno linijo Kozmetike Afrodita. Všeč mi je, da se osredotočajo vlaženju kože, vendar sem malo skeptična glede zagotavljanja zaščite proti onesnaženosti. To je namreč precej težko testirati, čeprav krema vsebuje kar nekaj antioksidantov, ki varujejo kožo pred zunanjimi vplivi. Glavna vlažilna sestavina je jojobino olje, ki deluje kot lastni sebum, katerega koža običajno sama proizvaja ter zato ne zmasti kože. Dodana je tudi aloe vera. Ta serum mi je všeč kot klasičen vlažilec. Nudi mi ravno dovolj vlage, vendar bo ob najbolj mrzlih dneh premalo kot nočna nega.

I generously received the whole new line from Afrodita Cosmetics. I like the hydrating aspect, however am still a bit sceptical about it being protective against pollution. However, because it does have quite some antioxidants, that could be true. Though you cannot notice it when testing it on the skin. The hydration mainly comes from jojoba oil, which is great as it works as your regular sebum which skin usually provides. Also some aloe vera is in there. I like it on my oily skin just as a regular moisturiser. It provides just enough hydration, however when my skin will get very dry due to cold weather, I think it won't be enough for night care.

Od opevane znamke The Ordinary sem naročila samo dva izdelka in očitno sem z obema zadovoljna. Hialuronska kislina je ena izmed super sestavin, ki zelo hidrira kožo, kar je primerno zame, saj imam običajno izsušeno povrhnjico, kljub mastni koži. Sicer sem mnenja, da ta hialuronska ne dela čarovnij, vendar doda nekaj hidracije, brez obteženja kože. Je malce gostejše teksture, vendar se takoj vpije kožo in je super v kombinaciji s kremami. Ne morete pa je uporabljati samostojno, saj drugače hitro hlapi in lahko deluje ravno obratno.

I ordered just two products from Ordinary and it took me a while to test it. Everybody has been raving about it. And since my skin is mainly oily, but dehydrated I thought this would be great for me. To be honest, it doesn't do that much magic, however it does help to provide some extra hydration in combination with serums and cream. The texture is a bit thicker, however when applied it absorbs very nicely, which I love.

Nivea 1 Minute Urban Skin Detox Mask

Še en izdelek oziroma linija, ki se bori proti okoljskim vplivom, je znamke Nivea. Spet, sem malce skeptična, vendar sem preizkusila masko in mi je zelo všeč kako globinsko očisti kožo. Žal vsebuje alcohol denat. kateri sicer meni ne povzroča večjih težav, vendar zato te maske ne bi priporočala za suho kožo. Meni pa je všeč, saj bela glina dobro očisti kožo. Prav tako vsebuje tudi karitejevo maslo, ki malce navlaži kožo. Na koži jo lahko pustite le minuto in nato obrišete z mokro krpico, pri čemer ne deluje kot grob piling, saj drugače vsebuje delce.

And speaking of skincare battling the environmental stressors: also Nivea brought out a skincare dedicated to that problem. I'm not sure if I believe all the claims, however this mask does work detoxifying. Sadly it contains alcohol denat., which doesn't do any damage on my skin, however I wouldn't recommend it for drier skin. White clay cleanses the skin nicely. It also contains shea butter, so I don't feel like it would dry out my skin. After removing it with some water and cloth, it works a bit as an exfoliator due to particles. I like that it works fast.

Živjo punce.

Odločila sem se, da Vam pokažem mojo zbirko tekočih pudrov katera se je v zadnjih dveh letih občutno povečala. Z Vami bom delila kateri tekoči pudri so moji najljubši in kateri mi niso priljubljeni (seznam si sledi po tem vrstnem redu). Ta objava bo najbolj v pomoč tistim, ki imate mešano do mastno kožo (kakor jaz), saj večinoma uporabljam pudre, ki so primerni samo za moj tip kože. Tu in tam pa testiram tudi kakšnega drugačnega. Veliko pudrov žal morem mešati s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami (sploh pozimi), ker imam zelo svetlo/porcelanasto polt. V moji zbirki je še nekaj BB in CC krem, vendar teh ne bom omenjala danes. Začela bom kar z mojimi štirimi najljubšimi pudri. Prijetno branje ;)...

Hi girls ! 
Finally I decided to show you my whole foundation collection. It has grown quite frankly in last two years. This post goes in order from my most used/loved foundations to the least favorite ones. It will be mostly helpful to the girls with combination/oily skin (which I have), though I test a few different foundations from time to time. A lot of them I also need to lighten up with TBS lightening drops because my skin is very pale/porcelain. I do own a few BB & CC creams which I won't mention today. So, have a nice read ;)

Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily - 150 Buff

Na vrhu seznama je seveda ta puder. Uporabljam ga verjetno že 8 let. Pred tem nisem vedela kakšen puder sploh morem jaz uporabljati, saj imam bolj mastno kožo. In takrat sem imela še izbruhe mozoljčkov, tako da je ta postal moj najljubši. To pa zato, ker je dobro prekriven. Čeprav so ga z leti razredčili in zdaj ni več tako prekriven. Hkrati pa ne zdrsi z obraza in se ne svetim hitro. Včasih maši pore, ampak si na koncu dneva res dobro globinsko očistim kožo, da ne ostane v porah. Odtenek Buff je super zame, saj imam rumen podton, vendar bi lahko bil še svetlejši. Obstaja tudi različica za suho kožo.

This has been my all time favorite foundation and I don't know what I'll do if one day they discontinue it. I've been using it for about 8 years. I am glad I discovered it when I had no idea what foundation I was supposed to be using on my oily skin. Plus at that time I had some pimples. I love it because it has a nice coverage (it used to really be full coverage, though it has been reformulated) and it has long staying power. Plus I don't get greasy quickly. It could clog your pores, however I make sure, I deeply cleanse my pores.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW13

Za ta puder sem najprej mislila, da mi je dekle v trgovini prodalo napačen odtenek, vendar sem ugotovila, da so očitno pri MAC-u zmedeni glede tonov. Sama sem zelo svetla in bi pričakovala da mi bo ponudila najmanjšo številko: 10, vendar pri liniji NW, 10-ka izgleda zelo roza, medtem ko je NW13 zelo bež in super za nevtralen podton (takšni so tudi opisi na spletu). Hkrati pa mi je zato žal malce pretemen. To rešujem s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami. Ima dobro prekrivnost (se da nagraditi do visoke prekrivnosti), vendar se po njem svetim hitreje kot po Revlon Colorstayu. Sicer pa mi je všeč kako izgleda na koži. Hranim ga predvsem za posebne priložnosti, saj je dražji. Vem, morala bi ga večkrat uporabiti. Oceno pudra si lahko ogledate tukaj. MAC izdelke pa lahko sedaj kupite tudi v Sloveniji (Citypark, Ljubljana).

At first i was confused because I thought this foundation has been matched to me wrongly. Though after searching on official website I realized they are so weird with shades. NW10 is a bit pink toned, while NW13 is very neutral beige. That's why I have a bit darker shade, which I still have to lighten, however undertone is perfect for me. Coverage is medium to full and it has a nice liquid texture.  I really like the way it looks on my skin. Though I get shiny quicker than with Revlon Colorstay. Because I'm a hoarder, I store this one for special ocasions. I know, I need to use it more. You can find a full review here.

Dior DiorSkin Forever - 010

Tole je verjetno najdražji puder v moji zbirki in tudi manj uporabljen, ker ga spet kot nekatere druge - preveč "šparam". Pa vendar ga morem porabiti, ker je že nekaj časa v moji zbirki. Že sama embalaža je res čudovita, v matiranem steklu. Podlaga je do srednje prekrivna in izgleda zelo lepo naravno na koži. Res jo olepša ter je na pol matt in sploh ne daje pudrastega izgleda. Prav tako lepo diši. Najsvetlejši odtenek je čisto malo pretemen za mojo kožo, vendar je kar vredu.

And the most expensive foundation is this Dior one. Again, I use it a bit less than I should, however I really like it. Even the packaging with frosted glass is amazing. It has medium coverage and looks very natural, not powdery at all. It is semi-matt so it won't stay on as long, however it is still great for oily skin. The lightest shade is tiny bit too dark for me, however I can manage it.

Max Factor Lasting Performance - 101 Ivory Beige

Ta puder zadnje čase zelo veliko uporabljam. Je zelo dobro prekriven in super tudi za mastno kožo, saj ostane na koži dlje časa. Odtenek je pretemen zame, zato ga osvetlim. Obstaja že kar dolgo, vendar so ga pred kratkim na novo formulirali. Skratka super najdba iz drogerije.

This has been my second most used foundation lately (after Revlon). It has a nice coverage and seems to be really long lasting on my oilier skin. The shade is a bit too dark, however I mix it with lightening drops. It has been in the drugstores for a long time, however they changed a packaging and formulation a bit. It's a great drugstore find.

L'Oreal Infallible 24H Matte - 11 Vanilla

Tudi ta puder ni slab za mastno kožo. Daje popolnoma matiran videz ter se res ne svetiš hitro. Tekstura je ravno dovolj tekoča, čeprav ga moreš hitro razmazati saj se takoj posuši. Žal pa je odtenek malce zgrešen saj lahko izgleda oranžen na koži (tudi tega posvetlim). Ni moj najljubši, saj imam z njim nekaj dela, vendar je zelo dober drogerijski puder za mastno kožo.

Another oily skin appropriate foundation. This one gives you a really matt finish and really helps you from getting shiny quickly. Texture is liquid enough, however it dries quickly so you have to work fast. The shade Vanilla is a bit orangey, however again I can lighten it. I used to use it a lot, however these days I have many other ones that impress me.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow - Neutral 2

Ta puder ni ravno primeren za mojo mastno kožo, vendar sem ga z veseljem nekajkrat testirala. Naprej mi je všeč to, da so na voljo nevtralni odtenki, saj ustreza moji polti, čeprav je malce temnejši. Tekstura pa je tekoča in se najboljše zabriše kar s prsti. Tako dobite naraven, zdrav, sijoč videz, ki pa ne izgleda mastno. Meni je začetni izgled res zelo všeč. Žal pa se kljub fiksiranju kar hitro svetim. Priporočam ga tistim s suho kožo, saj se verjetno ne bo oprijel suhih predelov.

This foundation is certainly not for oilier skin, however I've tested it a few times and really like it. First of all, I like the neutral shade, which suits my skin, even though it could be lighter. Texture is liquid and is best used with fingers to warm it up. The finish is very natural and glowy but not greasy. I love how healthy it makes my skin look. Though sadly even with powder and fixing, I get shiny quickly. I definitely recommend it to the ones with drier skin since it doesn't seem to cling on dry patches.

Rimmel Stay Matte - 100 Ivory

Ta puder ima puhasto, "mousse" teksturo, ki zna kožo precej obtežiti. Zato priporočam bolj rahel nanos. Žal ima tudi ta odtenek bolj oranžen videz in ga že nekaj časa nisem uporabila. In ga tudi verjetno ne bi, če bi imela pravi odtenek saj mi ni všeč tekstura. Če imate kakšne suhe predele, se jih bo ta puder zelo oprijel.

This foundation has a mousse texture which can be really heavy on your skin. So a light application is recommended, however it still isn't my favorite. Plus the shades is quite orangey, and I would not use it anymore.

Rimmel Fresher Skin - 100 Ivory

Tega pa verjetno ne uporabljam veliko zaradi tega, ker se nahaja v lončku, ki ni najbolj priročen. Podlaga daje res svež videz, ter se ne občuti mastno. Pa vendar, se jaz na koncu delavnega dneva precej svetim. Odtenek pa je temnejši. Če najdete ustrezen odtenek, ga priporočam tistim z bolj suho kožo.

What puts me off using this foundations is that it comes in a pot which is not really handy. On the skin it looks very fresh and not greasy. Though I get quite shiny after a few hours. Plus the shade selection is weird. I do recommend it for more drier skin.
