Essence & Catrice Update Spring/Summer 2019

Friday, March 08, 2019

Živjo punce.
Nova sezona pomeni nove izdelke pri Essence in Catrice. Žal nekatere stare izdelke odstranijo iz prodaje, četudi so vam bili zelo všeč. Jih pa nadomestijo novi, zanimivi izdelki. Nekatere sem imela priložnost preizkusiti tudi jaz. V drogerijah pa je na voljo res velik nov asortiman. Če te zanima kaj sem preizkušala in kakšno je moje mnenje, beri naprej...

New season means new products by Essence and Catrice. Unfortunately they might remove some of your favorite products, however there are some exciting new makeup and skincare products available in drugstores. I had an opportunity to test a few. If you're interesting in which I tested and what I think about them, keep on reading...


Essence You Better Work! Fixing Spray 

Ta sprej je del nove Essence linije, ki je namenjena predvsem tistim, ki ste zelo aktivni (v telovadnici ali na prostem). Všeč mi je, ker je meglica precej fina in se na obrazu ne opazi. Prav tako ni tistega občutka kot, da bi se "polila" s sprejem, kar se dogaja pri nekaterih takšnih sprejih za fiksiranje. Vonj je svež in definitivno opazen, vendar se hitro razdiši. Sicer ne morem reči, da podaljša obstojnost ličil za dolgo časa. Je pa super za osvežitev in odstranitev tistega "pudrastega" videza. Všeč mi je tudi embalaža, saj je manjša in je super za v torbico ali za na potovanja.

Essence designed a line, made for those who are especially active (in the gym or outside). I didn't test the product in the gym, however I walk a lot, plus I need to make my makeup last a long time, especially for my job. I really like that the spritz is very fine and it doesn't leave traces on the face. Also you don't get the feeling like you literally poured water on your face - some face sprays have a problem with that. It has a somehow refreshing scent, which is definitely noticeable, however it disappears quickly. I cannot say that I've seen some major difference in wear of my makeup. Though it definitely sets the makeup, eliminating that powdery look and feels nice to refresh yourself during the day. I like that the packaging is smaller, so it's nice to keep in your bag or to travel with.


Essence The Dip Eyeliner 

Včasih je črtalo za oči bilo del moje vsakdanje rutine ampak očitno sem to prerasla. Še vedno pa občudujem kako črtalo oziroma "mačji videz" na očeh spremeni celoten videz. Črtalo ima čvrsto, krajšo konico, katera je sicer bila včasih moja najljubša, vendar sem se tudi očitno navadila drugačnih črtal. Tako, da sem pri tem črtalu imela na začetku nekaj težav, ampak z nekaj vaje se navadiš tudi na takšen čopič. Odtenek je zelo črn, kar mi je zelo všeč, saj je nanos hiter in učinek takojšnji. S konico pa lahko zarišeš lepo ostro linijo. Na embalaži piše, da naj bi bilo črtalo tudi vodoodporno ampak to ne drži saj se takoj topi ob stiku vode.

I used to wear wing liner every single day, however I outgrew it. Still, from time to time I love to apply it and admire how the "cat eye" transforms my eye shape and whole makeup look. The liner has a firmer and shorter tip, which I used to love, however I got used to other kind of liners. So I had some trouble applying it in the beginning, however I think you can learn that too. The actual shade is very black, so application is quick without tracing over a few times. The liner is good for making a sharp line. On the packaging it says that it's waterproof, which it definitely isn't. You can simply remove it even with water.


Essence My Beauty Lip Ritual Repairing Balm 01 Repairing 

Sicer sem zvesta Labello balzamom za ustnice, vendar rada preizkušam tudi druge saj si želim najti najboljšo nego za ustnice. Tale me je presenetil, saj sem ob prvem nanosu opazila, da nima mastne teksture, temveč je formula precej lahkotna. Balzam vsebuje riževo olje, izvleček ginka ter vitamin E. Torej ni na osnovi masla, zato takšna lahka tekstura. Uporabljam ga čez dan in se mi zdi, da mi res lepo navlaži ustnice in na njih ostane kar nekaj časa. Na voljo pa sta še dva druga balzama: za vlaženje in negovanje.

My everyday is usually Classic Labello, however I still like testing other lip balms and finding something even better for my lips. This one surprised me because firstly I thought it was too light because the texture is not oily at all. It contains some rice oil, ginko extract and vitamin E. So it's not based on butters, which is why it has a lighter texture. However when I use it during the day, I feel like it really does hydrate my lips and it stays on them for quite a while. Essence also has two other lip balms: nourishing and moisturizing.


Catrice 1 Minute Face Perfector 010 One Fits All 

Tole je podlaga s katero se ne razumema najboljše. Naj bi se prilegala vsakemu tenu kože ter zagotavljala mat učinek. Hkrati pa naj bi izginile pore ter nepravilnosti. Lahko jo uporabljate kot podlago za puder ali samostojno. Odtenek je v lončku precej temen, vendar se ob tapkanju v kožo zlije. Sicer za seboj še vedno pusti rahel ton kar se na moji svetli koži precej pozna. Sicer je polt res malce bolj matirana ter zabriše pore, vendar več kot to ne naredi. Če bi hotela samo ta dva učinka, bi raje izbrala kakšen brezbarven izdelek za zmanjšanje por.

This is an interesting but gimmicky face product. It's a perfecting base with a tint which should be suitable for every skin tone. Also it promises to blur the pores, hide the imperfections and to leave a matt effect on the skin. The shade looks very dark in the pot and while tapping onto the skin, it does blend in, however on my porcelain skin tone, I feel like is still visible. Though the skin is mattified and pores look smaller. So if you're looking for these two aspects, this is a go for you. However, for a mattifying base, I'd rather choose something without a tint, since this shade doesn't really work for me.


Catrice Golden Dust Highlighter Drops 010 Spacegold 

Sama sem našla veliko veselje v tekočih osvetljevalcih in jih res rada testiram. Tole je nov Catrice tekoči osvetljevalec s kapalko. Gre za zlat odtenek, ki pa je bolj rumenkast in res svetel, tako, da pristaja tudi moji porcelanasti polti. Tekstura je gostejša in sama osvetljevalec nanesem tako, da s kapalko ustvarim nekaj pikic na vrhu lic ter ga nato s prsti zabrišem. Osvetljevalec ni pretirano bleščeč in daje bolj naraven videz. Sicer si želim, da bi se ga malo bolj opazilo.

For quite some time now I've been loving liquid highlighters and love to discover new ones. The new one from Catrice comes with a dropper. The shade is golden with a yellow undertone and because it's quite light, it blends into my porcelain skin quite well. Texture is a bit thicker and I apply it with a dropper, putting on a few dots on top of my cheeks. Then I blend it in just with my fingers. The highlighter is not glittery and not that shiny at all, so it gives you a natural look. Though I wish it would have more shine to it.


Catrice Power Plumping Gel Lipstick 010 My Lips! My Rules!

Na mojih ustnicah pa se večinoma znajdejo bolj vlažilne teksture šmink, zato sem z veseljem testirala to gel šminko, ki vsebuje tudi vlažilni hialuron. Odtenek 010 je precej svetel bež, vendar ustnicam podari lep sijaj in jim daje malce bolj hladen ton, kar je meni všeč saj so moje ustnice običajno precej rdeče. Take šminke niso pretirano pigmentirane, ampak je meni ta sijaj in vlažilen videz absolutno všeč. Verjetno bi se odločila še za kateri drug "nude" odtenek.

As for the lipsticks goes, I always choose hydrating shiny ones over the matt texture. This one is a gel lipstick and also contains hydrating hyaluron. The shade 010 is quite light beige, however on the lips it looks very natural. It gives a cooler tone to my usually very pink lips and gives a nice shiny effect without being glittery. Of course the pigmentation isn't great, however I just love the effect. I will probably have a look at the other nude shades they offer.
