Hi girls.

I'm all about downsizing my collection at the moment. And look at all of those empties I just accumulated in two months. I'm quite proud of myself. Have you emptied any products recently as well ?

Nivea MicellAIR Expert Eye Make-Up Remover

This line from Nivea is quite interesting. The eye makeup remover works quite nicely, since it removes even a waterproof mascara. Though I would have to say that is is almost the same as any standard two-phase makeup removers but is just less greasy. Also mentioned here.

Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion

This was my morning moisturizer for a while. It had a light gel texture which sinked in very quickly. It didn't really keep me shine free but it helped a bit. Plus I liked how light it was which was perfect under makeup. Though I'm willing to try something new soon.

Repurchase: maybe

Vichy Idealia Life Serum

If you know me, you know I like the french pharmacy cosmetics a lot. Though I was surprised that I actually liked this serum since it has quite a thick texture. It looks like it's a bit pinky toned and has some light reflecting pigments in it. I used it sometimes instead of my night cream and it was lovely. I also love the scent of this line.

Repurchase: maybe

Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep

I absolutely adored this face cream. It has quite a strong, interesting smell but I didn't mind it. The texture is thicker and gel-like. I applied quite a lot before bed and it felt a bit sticky at first but it absorbed nicely through the night. In the morning my skin was very plump and looked very hydrated but not shiny. You can read a whole review here.

Repurchase: yes

Yummy Vanilla shower gel

It's rare that I hate a shower gel scent, however this one was horrible. It had such a fake and strong vanilla scent, it made me want to puke. It was just not a pleasant vanilla scent. The texture was all right but nothing special.

Repurchase: no

Afrodita Cosmetics Mystic Argan Oil Shower Gel

I really adored this shower gel. It has an interesting oriental, nutty but a bit sweet scent. It foams up nicely and feels luxurious in the shower. Plus it is very affordable.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Invisible Anti-Perspirant spray Aqua

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a looong time ! Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though and sometimes I choke on how powerful the scent and mist is. 

Repurchase: always

Gliss Kur Express Repair conditioner

I kind of always repurchased this product because it's perfect for my oily hair which has just a bit dry ends. It is light-weighed and smells nice. I usually spritz it on the ends of my wet hair, so it helps with combing through. Plus it conditions the hair.

Repurchase: yes

Batiste Dry Shampoo - blonde

A very good dry shampoo for blondes. Even though it looks quite yellow, it's great for my shade of hair. Because it's tinted it's not that visible when you put it on which can be great but also sometimes I struggle because I don't know where I put i already. It is great for when in a hurry and it does the job great. Also the scent is lovely.

Repurchase: yes

L'Oreal Paris Elvital Tonerde Absolue Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo is actually from their Extraordinary Clay line which I love. It has the same smell which again I really like and it makes your hair smell like it also. It is a very refreshing one, though not the best for very greasy hair. I like the lightness and the scent.

Repurchase: maybe

Le Couvent Des Minimes Eau Sereine Relaxing Pillow Mist

This is quite an interesting, maybe not necessary but a bit luxurious product. It's an actual pillow mist. Though I don't think it helped me to sleep much more calmer, I used it mainly as a room spray before going to bed. I think it does relax you a bit if you breathe it in because it has some lavender and refreshing mandarin scent to it. It was a nice product, though nothing revolutionary. I would maybe prefer an actual cologne from this line. More about it here.

Repurchase: no

Avon Luxe Silken Lip Perfector - Natural TintThis was supposed to be a lip product with a bit of a tint. Though this natural tint wasn't really visible on the lips, so I used it as a lip balm. The formula feels like it would be hydrating however it dried my lips out a bit because it dries in a few minutes. I also have a berry version which is very nicely pigmented.

Repurchase: no

Labello Classic lip balm 

Classic Labello is my all time favorite lip balm. It is just moisturising enough for me and I'm used to it. This one was in a sparkly packaging which looks so cute. Though I feel like I got too used to these lip balms, so now I switched a different one.

Repurchase: always

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're a bit thinner, but they totally work and I love them ! 

Repurchase: yes (always)

Nivea Clear-Up Strips

I really liked these face strips. Though I would appreciate if it contained only nose strips but oh well. They smelled a bit fresh and really stuck to the skin. I feel like they did pull out quite a lot if I prepared my skin before and used hot water to open up my pores.

Repurchase: yes

Anthelios XL Clean Touch Anti-Shine (non-perfumed dry touch gel-cream) - SPF 50+

Tole je krema za zaščito obraza. Ima priročno pumpico s katero enostavno dozirate kremo. Sicer je tekstura gostejša kot sem si predstavljala, vendar ob nanosu na kožo in ko jo razmažeš, se nekako suši in imaš pod prsti bolj suh občutek zato jo moreš hitro razmazati. Je proti lesku, kar je meni še bolj všeč zato ker imam bolj mastno kožo in so mi vse kreme za zaščito obraza premastne. To me odvrne tudi od uporabe zaščite proti soncu na obrazu, zato običajno posežem po tekočih podlagah z SPF. Tole LRP kremico pa z veseljem uporabljam tudi pod ličili. Uporabila sem jo tudi na prečki, na lasišču, ker ni mastna in ne želim da mi tam zmasti lase, hkrati pa mi sonce zelo hitro opeče lasišče.

Krema je prav tako brez vonja ter je vodoodporna. 

This face sunscreen comes with a pump which is really handy for dispensing the cream. The texture is a bit thicker than I imagined, however when you apply it and rub it into the skin, it starts to dry down and feels even dry under the fingers. It is anti-shine which is perfect for my oily skin. I usually hate sunscreens because they are all so oily and sticky, so I usually opt for a foundation with SPF, however this one is quite great for me and I like using it under my makeup. I also used it on my hairline where I usually get sunburned easily but I don't want to have greasy hair. This cream is scent free and it also waterproof which is amazing.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Wet Skin Gel SPF 50+

In še sončna zaščita za celotno telo. Ta ima klasično pakiranje pri čemer mi to ni ravno najljubše, saj se na pokrovčku malce razlije in je nanašanje pacasto. Tekstura je sicer bolj lahkotna kot pri kremi za obraz ter se enostavno razmaže. Za seboj ne pušča belih lis ter se kar lepo posuši na koži. Ustvari zaščitni sloj, ki se sicer malce občuti, vendar je zato vodoodporna. Je brez dišav ter res dobro zaščiti kožo. Kjer sem izpustila kakšen predel na koži, me je vseeno opeklo, vendar nudi res dobro zaščito.

And a body sunscreen. It has a more conventional packaging which can be a bit messy on the lid. Though it has a lighter texture and is easily spread out. It doesn't leave any white marks and dries down quite quickly. It creates a film on the skin which is not sticky, however it really makes it waterproof. It is scent free and really protects the skin. Though if I left any areas without this cream, it burned me a bit. All in all it is a very nice protection from the sun.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Teint Mineral Corrective Compact Powder - 13 Sand Beige

Ta kompaktni puder sicer ni namenjen za zaščito obraza pred soncem, vendar vsebuje SPF 25, kar se mi osebno zdi super, saj se SPF redkeje nahaja v kompaktnih pudrih in pudrih v prahu. Odtenek Sand Beige je sicer malce temnejši od moje polti, vendar se kar lepo zlije s kožo, če ga dodam še malce po vratu in pa ko je moja koža malce rjava mi najbolje ustreza. Embalaža je super, ker ima veliko ogledalo in priročno gobico pod pudrom. Sama tekstura je kar mehka. Doda nekaj prekrivnosti, vendar ne kaj veliko. Na koži pa ustvari naraven videz, ne preveč pudrast in tudi ne popolnoma matt. Ni ravno za vsak dan, vendar je super, ko ne želim, da je moja koža popolnoma matirana. Sicer pa me najbolj navdušuje vsebovan SPF.

This compact powder isn't really made to be an only sun protection product you'll use, however I really appreciate the fact that it contains SPF. You can rarely find SPF in powder and compact products. The shade Sand Beige is a bit too dark for me, however if I put it down the neck, it will blend in easily, plus it doesn't oxidise throughout the day. It matches me better when I have some color to my skin. The packaging is great because it has a huge mirror and a sponge applicator under the powder. Texture is soft and it gives you some coverage. It creates a natural look, not too powdery and not completely matt. So I like to use it when I don't want my skin to be completely matt. Otherwise I love that it has a SPF.

Hi girls.
I haven't done a favourites post in a while. I'm quite focused on using up my older products and trying one or two once in a while, so I don't have that many discoveries. But still here are just a few products that I've been enjoying the past month...

Živjo punce.
Nekaj časa nisem z vami delila favoritov in spet je čas za to. Sicer sem osredotočena na porabo starejših izdelkov, pa vendar rada preizkusim kaj novega tu in tam. Tako da nimam toliko novosti. V tej objavi boste torej našle nekaj favoritov, ki sem jih z veseljem uporabljala prejšnji mesec.



Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash

I had this face wash in my stash for a while, however I had to use up the other ones firstly. It has a nice gel texture and foams up nicely. It's great at removing remains of the makeup, plus it cleanses the skin very well. I also like that it comes with a pump. It doesn't have much smell to it, however I like that.

Ta izdelek je v moji zbirki že en čas, vendar je komaj pred kratkim prišel na vrsto. Všeč mi je prijetna tekstura gela, ki se lepo speni. Dobro odstrani ostanke ličil in globinsko očisti kožo. Super je tudi, ker ima pumpico. Sicer pa nima ravno nekega vonja, kar mi je čisto vredu.

Balea Dusche & Olperlen - Peach scent

I was bored of my body washes so I decided to purchase this one. I absolutely adore the fresh scent of peaches. It's like peach ice tea. Also it is very lovely to use in the shower and it makes your skin smell amazing for a while. I thought it would be more hydrating because of the oil pearls, but it's just quite a normal body wash. Still I enjoy it very much.

Naveličala sem se mojih tuš gelov, zato sem si v DM kupila tega. Ima vonj po svežih breskvah oziroma po ledenem čaju z breskvami kar je noro fajn. Hkrati pa je prijeten za uporabo ter pusti prijeten vonj na koži še en čas. Sicer sem mislila, da bo bolj vlažilen, ker vsebuje perlice z oljem, vendar je bolj klasičen tuš gel. Vseeno mi je zelo všeč.

The Body Shop - Lip Butter Strawberry

Another product which I've had for a while. I just have too many lip balms. The fresh scent of strawberries is just amazing. I use it at home because it's a bit unhygenic to use because you need to dip in a finger. The texture is light because the butter melts on the lips right away. Though I don't think it's hydrating enough for very dry lips.

Še en izdelek, ki ga imam že nekaj časa v zbirki. Skratka, imam preveč balzamov za ustnice. Vonj po svežih jagodah je noro dober. Uporabljam ga doma, ker je bolj nehigienski za uporabo saj ga moreš nanest s prsti. Sicer pa je tekstura bolj lahkotna in se maslo hitro stopi na ustnicah. Ni pa najbolj vlažilen za zelo suhe ustnice.

Fenty Beauty The Bomb Gloss

V lepotnem svetu se kar veliko govori o Rihannini liniji ličil: Fenty Beauty. Tako sem se odločila, da še jaz nekaj preizkusim ter sem si kupila set s tem glosom in enim osvetljevalcem. Sicer glosov ne uporabljam vsakodnevno, vendar z veseljem posežem tudi po Clarinsovem glosu. Tako me je tale precej presenetil. Tekstura je gostejša, vendar nelepljiva. Ima sladek vonj, ki pa ni preveč močen. V embalaži izgleda precej bleščeče, vendar na ustnicah pusti lep sijoč, sočen videz. Hkrati jih naredi bolj polne. Všeč mi je tudi embalaža, ker je drugačna, čeprav je aplikator kar velik za takšen glos. Odtenek pa je precej univerzalen in bo ustrezal večim tonom kože.

Ebelin Precision Concealer Sponge

I've been a fan of Real Techniques Mini Eraser Sponges because they make applying concealer very easy. So when I was browsing through DM I spotted this mini ones (it comes in a pack of two) which are even tinnier. I have Ebelin rainbow sponge and I quite like it but I'm not a sponge lover for foundation, so I neglect it. This mini Ebelin sponge grows twice the size when wet and feels nicely soft, though it is definitely not as soft as RT one. It is nice for blending concealer and making any small touches. I would say that RT one is amazing, but this one is not bad either. It is a nice replacement and I recommend you trying it because these kind of sponges blend concealer seamlessly and eliminate creasing. 

Sama sem ljubiteljica Real Techniques mini gobic za nanašanje korektorja, ker zelo poenostavijo ličenje. Tako sem v DM-u naletela na te mini gobice (v paketu dobite 2) znamke Ebelin, ki pa so še manjše. Sama že imam Ebelin mavrično gobico, ki je kar dobra, vendar sama raje nanašam tekočo podlago s čopiči. Ta mini gobica pa zraste na dvakratno velikost, ko jo zmočiš in je lepo mehka. Ampak še vedno je RT gobica mehkejša in najboljša, vendar se Ebelinova gobica lahko precej primerja z njo. Je dobra nadomestitev in vam priporočam, da jo preizkusite, ker je s takšno gobico zabrisovanje korektorja res enostavno ter se izognete usedanju v gubice.
