Živjo punce.

Na Instagramu sem vas vprašala ali naj z vami delim moj nakup iz Pariza in veliko vas je reklo, da ja. Že nekaj mesecev nisem objavila kakšnega nakupa, tako da je skrajni čas. Sicer pa nisem na veliko zapravljala, ker res ne morem porabit toliko ličil. Zato tudi najraje kupim kakšne potovalne različice izdelkov.

Hi girls.

I've asked you on Instagram if you wanted to see what I picked up in Paris and many of you said yes. I haven't done a haul post in a while, so it's about time. I could've spend more money but have restricted myself for splurging so much because I just can't use up everything. As you will see, I prefer buying smaller sized makeup, to test it and again because everything has expiration date, so I don't want to hoard too much.

Najprej sem seveda zavila v Sephoro. Prvo, ki sem opazila je bila na Champs Elysées. V trgovini je bila res ogromno gužva in tudi veliko zaposlenih so imeli, za vsako znamko posebej. Sicer pa sem si z lahkoto ogledala stvari. Napotila sem se do blagajne, kjer moreš it skozi vrsto, kjer imajo porazdeljene mini izdelke.

Of course firstly I stopped at Sephora. I spotted the one at Champs Elysées which was crazily packed and very alive. There were so many girls working for every beauty counter and it felt so cool. Besides I had no trouble going through and looking at things. I mainly navigated towards the "isle of doom" before you pay, where all the minis are displayed.

Že dolgo sem opazovala Benefit Galifornia rdečilo za lica in sem se zelo razveselila, ko sem opazila potovalno različico. V zbirki že imam Hoola bronzer, enake velikosti in sem zelo zadovoljna z njim saj je v embalaži veliko produkta. Rdečilo je lepe koralne barve ter je dobro pigmentirano. Nanaša pa se zelo enostavno. Popolno bo za pomlad/poletje.

I've been looking for Benefit Galifornia blush for such a long time and I am so happy they had a mini. I have the same sized Hoola bronzer and it has been amazing so far. There's a lot of product inside but is so cute for travelling as well. Galifornia blush is very corally, which I love and I cannot wait to use it, especially in the summer time. Pigmentation is great and the powder is finely mild.

Sicer sama nisem nora na osvetljevalce, vendar me je zelo zanimal ta Becca duo, ker so ti izdelki na spletu tako opevani. Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter v odtenku Opal je bolj bleščičast, kot sem si ga predstavljala in ima precej zlat ton. Je zelo pigmentiran in četudi ga morda ne bom vedno uporabljala na licih, bo super tudi kot senčilo. V setu je še enaka različica v tekoči obliki, ki pa bo super za poletne dni, za več sijaja.

I'm not much of a highlighter person but I wanted to pick Becca duo just to see all the hype around their products. Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Opal is definitely more glittery than I imagined. It has a gold undertone and s highly pigmented. If I'm not going to use it on the cheeks, I'll definitely use it on the eyelids. In the set you also the liquid version of Opal which will be great for summer time to achieve that glowy look.

Vzela sem še Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer v odtenku Light Neutral, ki pa je precej temen. V trgovini je izgledal svetlejši, tako da ga bom žal mogla uporabit poleti. Sicer pa je tektura korektorja zelo lahkotna, žametna in se lepo zabriše. Ni pa najbolj prekriven.

And then I also opted for Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer. It's in the shade Light Neutral which looked lighter at first but it's definitely quite dark. I hope I'll get the use out of it in the summer. From my first try, it seems very lightweight, velvety and comfortable on the skin.

Moj zadnji postanek je bil pri Urban Decay oddelku v Galeries Lafayette kjer sem kupila set, ki vsebuje Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Spray in All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. All Nighter že poznam in ga imam v veliki in majhni embalaži, vendar bosta kmalu prazni. Všeč mi je, ker odstrani pudrast videz ter podaljša obstojnost ličil. Super je tudi za osvežitev poleti čez dan. Quick Fix spreja pa še nisem preizkusila, vendar diši po kokosu, saj vsebuje kokosovo vodo. Gre za sprej, ki pripravi kožo na ličila. Naj bi zmanjšal videz por ter dodal nekaj hidracije. Res me zanima kako se bo obnesel.

I also stopped at Urban Decay counter in Galeries Lafayette where I picked up a duo of Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Spray and All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I have All Nighter in full and travel size so I love it already since it keeps my makeup from looking to cakey and it prolongs the wear but I'm about to run out of them so I needed a new one. I haven't tried Quick Fix spray before so I'm really intrigued. It smells like coconut water because that's one of the ingredients and it's supposed to prep your skin while reducing the pores and adding some hydration. We'll see how I get along with it.

On my Sephora list were also Kat Von D Lock-it Mini Baking Duo, Nars Creamy Concealer in Vanilla and Marc Jacobs Lip Trio Cream and Sugar Nude but I'll leave these for the next time.

Pri Lushu ne pozabijo na noben praznik in Velika noč ni izjema. S čimer imajo trenutno na voljo luštne tematske izdelke, ki bodo v tebi prebudili otroka ali pa te bodo definitivno spravili v dobro voljo. Šampon v obliki zajčka je res nekaj najbolj prikupnega, še bolj zabavne pa so različne kroglice v obliki jajčk. Priporočam tudi kopel v obliki korenčkov, ki ima prijeten svež vonj in naredi ogromno pene - ta je bila moja najljubša pretekla leta.

Hi girls.
Lush comes out with a collection for each holiday. And this Easter is especially fun. They brought out fun and cute products which may take you back to your childhood or just boost up your mood. Shampoo in the shape of a bunny is for sure the cutest, however you can also find many different bath products shaped like Easter eggs. Though I mostly recommend Bunch of carrots reusable bubble bar, which smells fresh and makes lots of bubbles - this one was my fav. from previous years.

To je kroglica, ki bi jo sama najraje uporabila v času aprilskega dežja, saj je oblikovana kot oblaček. V njej so tudi koščki v obliki kapljic, ki vsebujejo kakavovo maslo ter ekstra deviško olivno olje in delujejo kot oljna kopel. Zato je koža po uporabi navlažena. Vonj sestavljajo: cipresovo olje, olje cedrovine, absolut listov vijolice in absolut tonke. Tako diši bolj zemeljsko in cvetlično ter zelo spominja na naravo in svežo travo.

This bath bomb makes me want to use it on a cozy, rainy day since it's shaped like a cloud. Also it has some raindrops in it with contain cocoa butter and extra virgin olive oil. Both combined work as a bath oil and will make your skin soft and hydrated. Scent comes from: Cypress oil, Cedarwood oil, Violet leaf oil and Tonka Absolut. So the smell is earthy but flowery which reminds me a lot of nature.

Moje najljubše kopeli so peneče. To jajce lahko uporabiš dvakrat, če ga daš na pol in vsakič polovičko razdrobiš pod vročo vodo. V bani naredi veliko mehurčkov. Sredica pa vsebuje kakavovo ter karitejevo maslo, ki poskrbita za vlaženje. Odločaš se lahko med tremi barvnimi različicami. Vse pa imajo vonj po mentolu in čokoladi. Sicer na začetku spominja na "zobno pasto", ampak ima malce sladek pridih kot After Eight čokoladice. Meta odpre dihalne poti ter poživi telo.

I do prefer bubble bars because they make lots of foam. This eggy you can break into two halves and use it twice while crumbling it under hot water. It creates many bubbles while cocoa butter and shea butter nourish your skin. It comes in three color variations. The scent is very minty but it has a chocolate undertone to it. So at first it reminds me of toothpaste, however it also has a scent of After Eight chocolates. Mint opens up your nose and refreshes your whole body.

Sama res obožujem Lush-eve trde šampone, ker: dolgo zdržijo (za 80-100 pranj), so brez embalaže, se lepo spenijo in so super za potovanja. Zajčkov šampon vsebuje limonino olje, korenčkovo olje, jabolčni kis ter olje limonine mirte ki skupaj poskrbijo za ravnovesje lasišča ter sijoč videz las. Ima res svež vonj po limonah, ki me spominja na Montalbano (katerega uporabljam že nekaj mesecev), vendar je tale šampon še bolj osvežilen.  Super je za lase, ki se hitro mastijo (kakor moji) saj je res čistilen, zato sem se tega šampona res razveselila. Pred uporabo pa je najboljše, da smrček odstraniš, uhlji iz riževega papirja pa se stopijo.

I'm a huge fan of Lush's shampoo bars because: they last up to 100 washes, are packaging free, foam up nicely and are travel friendly. This bunny shampoo contains Lemon oil, Carrot Oil, Cider vinegar and Organic Lemon Myrtle Oil which cleanse and detoxify your hair. Also it is balancing so if you have oily scalp, this one might be fore you. The scent is very zesty, lemony which reminds me of Montalbano (which I've been using recently) but is even fresher. It cleanses my greasy hair nicely, so I'm quite happy about it. Though before use I removed a fluffy nose. But paper ears dissolve in the water.

To milo je sicer del linije za Materinski dan, vendar je na voljo v trgovinah ob istem času. Vonj ima seveda po malinah, s pridihom svežine limone. Res diši sadno, prijetno in prav tako izgleda čudovito - za "pojest". Vsebuje kakavovo maslo ter mandljevo olje, tako, da ne bo izsušilo vaše kože. Sama mila najraje uporabljam za umivanje rok ali čopičev.

And the last product is from their Mother's day range, however it is available at the store at the same time. It smells incredible: fresh like strawberry, with a zing of lemon. It really is fruity and nice, plus it looks very "edible". Ingredients contain also cocoa butter and almond oil which won't dry out your skin. I love using it on my hands.

Nekaj mesecev nazaj smo dobili slovensko spletno trgovino The Body Shop. Pred tem sem njihove izdelke večinoma nakupovala v tujini. Najbolj so mi izdelki všeč zaradi prijetnih vonjev. Hkrati pa imam zelo rada njihovo Tea Tree Oil linijo, ker ustreza moji mastni koži. Drugi največji favorit pa so seveda njihove posvetlitvene kapljice. Izdelki me večinoma ne razočarajo, čeprav niso tako nizko cenovni. Tokrat pa sem preizkušala dve njihovi novosti, ki sta prav zanimiv...

Hi girls.

I've been familiar with TBS products for a few years now and I've loved almost everything that I've tried. However, now we have Slovenian website, which makes the products more accessible. TBS is mostly known for their amazing scents in body products, but I do really like also their skincare, such as Tea Tree Oil line. Also cannot live without Lightening Drops. This time I got to try two of their new products...

Drops of Youth Gentle Foaming Wash

"Nežno penečo čistilo za obraz, ki ne izsuši kože, 100 % vegansko. Vsebuje izvorne rastlinske celice morskega kropca iz obale Bretanije, ki obnavlja kožo."

Pena za umivanje obraza je precej gosta in kremasta, zato ob nanosu na obraz ne izpuhti. Občuti se prijetno in mehko. Hkrati pa dobro umije kožo. Po uporabi je moja koža osvežena in ni izsušena. Ne morem pa reči, da kožo obnovi ali učvrsti (kakor pravijo pri TBS) - takšni učinki se po mojem mnenju bolje poznajo pri kremah za obraz. Vonj je nežen in ne premočen. Skratka meni je to čistilo zelo prijetno za uporabo.

Cena: 14,50 (povezava)

"Enriched with plant stem cells, our instantly foaming face wash upon rinse-off leaves skin fresh and replenished. The youth-enhancing formula thoroughly cleanses the skin without drying, leaving your skin feeling smoother, softer and renewed."

This foam face wash has a nice texture: it's quite thick and creamy, so it won't disappear off the face right away. It feels soft and gentle. At the same time, it cleanses the skin very well without leaving a dry feeling. Also it feels refreshing. I cannot say that my skin is renewed or feeling younger - I'd say you notice that mainly with using face creams and such. The scent is gentle but pleasant. All in all, I do really enjoy using this face wash.

Lip Juicer - Coconut, Passion fruit & Carrot

"Vlažilna nega ustnic z balzamom za ustnice, ki rahlo obarva ustnice in jih odišavi s sadnim vonjem. Vsebuje ekstrakt treh super zelenjav in sadja 100 % vegansko obogaten z marulinim oljem iz pravičnega trgovanja iz Namibije, ekološkim olivnim oljem iz pravičnega trgovanja iz Italije in karitejevim maslom iz pravičnega trgovanja iz Gan. Brez petrilatuma, mineralnih olj, karmina in glutena."

Balzam se ob nanosu občuti kremasto ter bogato in sploh ni "tekoč". Na ustnicah ne pusti sijaja, temveč bolj naraven izgled. Je ravno dovolj vlažilen, vendar ne bo dovolj za zelo suhe ustnice (za to priporočam morda Lip Butter-je). Tako ga sama čez dan večkrat nanesem. Je zelo pigmentiran, saj se odtenek takoj pozna na ustnicah ter ga lahko slojiš. Odtenek tega balzama je koralen in res lep. Najbolj pa mi je všeč saden vonj, saj se večinoma vonja pasijonka. Ta vonj na ustnicah ostane še kakšne pol ure in se komaj zadržujem, da ne bi pojedla balzama, ker je res njami vonj. Embalaža je luštna in zelo priročna, saj balzam takoj naneseš na ustnice brez packanja.

Cena: 7,90€ (povezava)

"100% vegan, moisture-boosting balm. Scented with irresistible smoothie-inspired combinations. With blends of naturally derived extracts. Easily glides onto your lips for a smooth, soft and soothing finish. Community Trade shea butter, marula oil and organic olive oil."

Lip Balm is very creamy and thick, so it doesn't feel slippery or thin on the lips. It doesn't leave too much shine, so it stays on for a while. It's just enough moisturising, however it might not be the best for very dry lips (in this case I recommend maybe Lip Butters). That's why I re-apply it throughout the day multiple times. It's very pigmented but you can also layer it. This shade is quite coral and looks very nice. But mostly I love the scent of passion fruit which is obviously very fruity and up my alley. It stays on the lips for at least half an hour, so I have to stop myself from eating it haha. Packaging is cute and very practical as you apply lip balm effortlessly.

Hi girls.

Spring is almost here and there have been many new product launches. Previously I've talked about L.O.V. novelties and this time I'll talk you through some Catrice Cosmetics products which I received. They brought out plenty of new makeup, but I'll share just a few with you today...

Živjo punce.

Pomlad prihaja in s tem veliko novih izdelkov. Nekaj časa nazaj sem govorila o L.O.V. novostih, tokrat pa Vam predstavljam nekatere Catrice novosti, ki sem jih prejela v test. Seveda je v kolekciji še veliko več produktov, ki bodo morda pritegnili vaš pogled in zanimanje...

The glow trend is still on, also at Catrice cosmetics. This dewy stick is actually just like a balm with a few glitters here and there. Texture is not sticky and it glides on very easily. It gives an effect of highlighter with a wet look. Though it doesn't show up that much. In this case I'd rather use it as a base and put highlighter on top of it, so it sticks better and enhances the look. In that way it works amazingly. 

Trend osvetljevanja je še vedno na vrhu, tudi pri Catrice kozmetiki. Ta stik je namenjen prav za učinek "mokrega" izgleda. Je kot nekakšen balzam z majhnimi bleščicami. Naneseš ga direktno na željene predele, pri čemer tekstura ni preveč lepljiva in se enostavno tudi zabriše. Čeprav je izgled precej subtilen in ga ne opaziš takoj. Tako ga sama raje uporabim kot osnovo za osvetljevalec v prahu. Ta se na ta balzam dobro oprime, ter poveča intenzivnost osvetljevalca.

This eyeshadow palette is interesting and seems to imitate Benefit duo eyeshadows. Pigmentation is great and sponge picks up quite a lot of product. However the sponge brush is quite big and it's a bit tough when you have small eyelids like me. It glides on easily, however you still need to blend it out. To me the final effect is a bit weird and definitely needs touch up. Though eyeshadows look very nice and I would use them separately with my normal brush. However they are all shimmery. The only plus is that they do last all day long. Unfortunately this kind of product would be suitable for girls who are only learning to do makeup, but then again it's a lot of hassle to apply eyeshadows.

Ta paleta senčil na prvi pogled izgleda precej zanimivo ter je podobna Benefitovim duo senčilom. Pigmentacija je kar dobra ter senčila na vekah ostanejo ves dan. Gobica pa pobere veliko izdelka, kar omogoča enostavnejši nanos. Hkrati je žal ta gobica prevelika za moje majhne veke in mi povzroča nekaj nevšečnosti. Končni učinek je malce čuden, saj je ta senčila definitivno še potrebno zabrisati. Izgled samih senčil pa je lep, saj gre za lepe odtenke, ki bi jih sama uporabljala samostojno. Žal v takšni paleti ni nobenega mat odtenka, ampak so sami sijoči. Nekako menim, da je ta paleta bolj primerna za mlajša dekleta, ki se učijo z ličili ali samo preizkušajo, vendar je hkrati uporaba malce težja.

Texture of this mascara is very wet at first. The brush is standard (but hourglass shaped), however I feel like packaging is not made greatly, since sometimes it doesn't wipe off the excess mascara. This results in a bit of clumpiness. It gives quite some volume to the lashes, however the effect is not outstanding. Also it is very black, so it shows up nicely, though it always seems to transfer everywhere: on the brow bone, under the eyes. I've never had such trouble with mascara, though keep in mind that my skin is quite oily but I try to combat that with powder. Sadly it doesn't work for me because of the transferring and I won't use it again. They do have a waterproof version as well.

Maskara je na začetku precej mokra. Krtačka je precej standardna, vendar z obliko "peščene ure". Embalaža pa mi ni najbolj všeč, saj se mi zdi, da je odprtina na vrhu prevelika in včasih ne odstrani odvečne maskare, kar se pozna v zlepljenih trepalnicah. Mojim trepalnicam doda kar nekaj volumna, vendar se mi učinek ne zdi tako wau. Je pa maskara ekstremno črna, kar izgleda lepo, vendar se na meni povsod odtisne: pod obrvmi, pod očmi. Tako, da če si ne bi popravila ličil čez dan, bi izgledala grozno. Tako velikih problemov še nisem imela z maskaro. Drugače se vedno trudim da dodobra matiram mojo mastno kožo z fiksirnimi pudri. Žal na meni pač ne deluje in je ne bom več uporabila. Imajo pa na voljo še vodoodporno različico.
