Batiste Original dry shampoo

Batiste is my favorite dry shampoo of all times. Though I'm a bit picky with the scents and you cannot get a tropical scent in our country anymore. So I usually buy the Original version these days. This dry shampoo is just hard core and it works amazing even if your hair is really greasy. It can be a bit white sometimes, but I just use hair dryer to get it off.

Repurchase: always

Batiste Fresh dry shampoo
Last year I discovered this new scent and absolutely loved it because it it's refreshing and lighter. Though I think also the powder is lighter so when my hair is quite oily it doesn't help that much.
Repurchase: yes

Vitanove Dry Shampoo
This dry shampoo you can buy at E.Leclerc. I just bought it because I was interested. Though it was very powdery and white which is not great if you're in a hurry or your hair is darker. But if I have really greasy hair and just need to go somewhere quickly, I would use it and use my hair dryer on higher speed to get it off. It was cheap too, so I didn't care how it worked. But for everyday I wouldn't use it.
Repurchase: no


Nivea LE Fabulous Hibiscus Shower Gel
Unfortunately this shower gel scent was limited edition. It was really nice and fruity. However sometimes I think it would smell a bit too alcohol-like even though it doesn't contain alcohol. But I still loved using it because it was so refreshing and awakening.
Repurchase: would if I could

Lush Twilight Shower Gel
One of my favorite Lush scents. Though I get bored of Lush scents quite quickly, so it takes me such a long time to use up a bottle. This is a very specific lavender scent, but it also smells a bit like oatmeal cookies. The shower gel felt gentle on the skin. I just loved it for the calming but sweet scent. Though next time I would prefer a mini version.
Repurchase: yes

Afrodita Cosmetics Extra Sensitive Intimate Wash
A very nice and gentle feminine wash. I have one that is my top favorite, but this one is the second afterwards. And when I use something else, I miss this one. The scent is very light which is great and it seems very gentle on my lady bits.
Repurchase: yes

Rexona Active Protection+ Invisible Anti-Perspirant - Fresh

I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying the Active Protection+ one, it is now my winner. I always choose the ones for black and white clothing. This one lasts even longer and acts even more when you get active. I mostly also love this one for the scent because it's kind of a powdery one and out of all other Rexona deodorants, this one doesn't make me choke on it.

Repurchase: already have

Rexona Invisible Aqua Anti-Perspirant

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a long 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



Swiss O'Par Silver Shampoo
Immediately after I bleached (lightened) my hair, I purchased this shampoo. It's meant for blond or grey hair, to even out the tone and eliminated brassy look. It is quite watery, I would say, so it flows quickly down the hair. It helps a bit with toning the hair, however it's not that visible. I use it in between washes when I don't want to use Icecream No-Yellow shampoo (that one is the best for yellow tones).
Repurchase: maybe

L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary Clay Purifying Shampoo
One of the best drugstore shampoo for oily hair. It is very cleansing (contains clay) but doesn't dry out or strip the hair. I also really like the fresh scent. Though nowadays I use only solid shampoos but if I was in a quick need of shampoo, I would still buy it.
Repurchase: yes


The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Gel Wash
A very nice gentle face wash. Doesn't have much of a scent, but is still pleasant. It's not amazing, however it was really gentle and relaxing to use Read full review here.
Repurchase: maybe

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub
I love the scent of Soap & Glory products. Their original scent is just something special. This scrub felt moisturising and not drying. It wasn't too harsh, but still did it's job.
Repurchase: maybe

Caudalie Vinopure Skin Perfecting Mattifying Fluid
One of the lightest mattifying creams I've tried. I liked the light texture, however I felt that it sometimes took longer to absorb into the skin. I loved it at times when my skin wasn't as oily, but it still needed mattifying effect. Still I think I prefer the Vinosource Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid.
Repurchase: probably not 


Kamill Hand & Nail Cream Q10
A really nice moisturizing hand cream. It can be a bit thick, but it's not overly greasy. Plus the scent is nicely calming.
Repurchase: yes

Nuxe Rêve de miel Hand and Nail Cream
This line from Nuxe is quite popular and this is not my first time trying the hand cream. I'm not a fan of this scent because it's quite potent. The hand cream is moisturizing but doesn't do wonders. It takes some time to absorb in, so I used it before bed time.
Repurchase: no 

The Body Shop Glazed Apple Sugar Scrub
Another limited edition product. I loved this Christmas scent (from 2 or 3 years ago?) but I finally used it up. Actually I used it for my hands, because the purple shampoo really leaves a stain on hands. The scent is just amazing, it's like some apple candy and not too artificial.
Repurchase: I wish I could


Lush Charity Pot Hand & Body Lotion
This is a sample I got in London. It's main ingredient is fair trade cocoa and shea butter and the profit goes to charity. Plus it contains other hydrating oils. The texture is not too thick, however it takes some time to absorb. Though it is very moisturising. All Lush body lotions are very hydrating which I love. Though I'd use them only before slipping on pyjamas and going to bed. But this small pot I only used on some dry patches and it helped.
Repurchase: maybe

Lush Santa Baby Lip Scrub
My favorite festive Lush lip scrub. It smells and tasted like coca cola. It's not too sweet, but still pleasant. Texture is not too gritty as the sugar glides on smoothly without too much crumbling. Plus the aftertaste is nice. The whole pot lasts me a year. I used to use these lip scrubs all the time, but now I sometimes only use a hot wet cotton pad which works wonders too.
Repurchase: yes

Blistex Conditioning Lip Balm
Just a standard lip balm. I switch between this one and Labello Classic lip balm and I like both. They're hydrating enough, but I still need to reapply it multiple times because it rubs off. Let me know if you have any favorite lip balm recommendation though.
Repurchase: yes

Carmex Classic Lip Balm
I heard so much about this lip balm but it actually disappointed me. It contains menthol and is quite strong. If I reapplied it even three times through my work time, my lips would start to feel very warm and tingly and the feeling wouldn't go away right away. So then I used it only when applying my makeup. It is very hydrating which I love, but I just can't have it for every day use.
Repurchase: sadly no 


The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit + Moringa Bath Bubble
I love bubble baths. These small heart bubble bars were fun. Maybe not as much as Lush ones, but still cute and nice smelling. Though here is the additional packaging which you don't get with Lush bubble bars.
Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Vitamin E + Aloe Sheet Mask
These are made of natural fibers and are biodegradable which is awesome. I think both were quite hydrating and made my skin feel very soft. At first they're very cold because of the sheet. But it totally works and is great for here and there if your skin is feeling dry.
Repurchase: maybe


Kiko Softening Hands Mask
I had this mask for such a long time and finally I tried it. I don't know what happened in Amsterdam; if it was the wind or their water but my hands got so dry and flakey and I would apply hand cream and balm on it multiple times per day. So then at home I tried this hands mask. It's actually like hand gloves filled with hand cream. You wear them for 10-15 minutes and meanwhile massage the cream into the hands. It feels a bit strange and cold. But when you take them off, the cream absorbs in and you're left with very smooth soft hands. There was still so much product left in the gloves, so I used it the next day again. I cannot say that it worked like a miracle, however after two uses I did see a difference and my hands aren't as flakey now.

Živjo punce.

Pomlad se bliža in s tem tudi novosti pri lepotnih znamkah. Tokrat sem preizkusila nekaj Catrice ličil. Imajo pa na voljo še ogromno drugih novih zanimivih ličil in izdelkov...

Hi girls.

It already feels like spring is coming. And it's also time for some new spring makeup, starting with new Catrice launch. I tested just a few product, but make sure you check out the rest of their new interesting line...

Catrice Poreless Perfection Foundation 010 Cool Nude 

Ta puder ima klasično penasto, gosto teksturo. Pa vendar ne vsebuje silikonov, ki bi morda komu mašili pore. Daje videz gladke kože ter malce zapolni pore. Hkrati pa ni tako težek na koži. Odtenek 010 izgleda zelo temno, čeprav se na koži hitro zabriše in ni tako temen. Še vedno je odtenek zame pretemen, imajo pa na voljo tudi svetlejšega: 005 Warm Ivory. Prekrivnost je srednja in je vredu za vsak dan. Obstojnost pa ni najboljša saj puder čez dan zbledi in počasi izgine.

This is a classic mousse type of foundation. It has a thick texture, but is silicon free which is great if your skin gets clogged if you use silicon type of products. Even though it's thick, it quickly blends and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It makes the skin look more smooth and fills the pores a bit. It is not long lasting though, so I wouldn't use it on hot and long days. Coverage is ok, but could be better if you have more pigmentation or imperfections. The shade 010 looks very dark, however somehow it blends in and looks lighter on the skin. Though it's still too dark for me. There is also a lighter shade available: 005 Warm Ivory.

Catrice Instant Awake Concealer 005 Neutral Light 

Korektor je zelo lahek in srednje prekriven. Verjetno najbolj temnih podočnjakov ne bo prekril. Zame pa je dovolj prekriven in se mi ne useda v gubice potem, ko ga fiksiram s pudrom v kamnu. Odtenek je dovolj svetel in ima rumenkast podton, kar mi je všeč. Obstaja še svetlejši odtenek: 002 Neutral Fair. Izbor odtenkov se mi zdi precej dober in se sprašujem zakaj tudi tekočih pudrov nimajo v tako svetlih odtenkov. Embalaža pa ima na vrhu gobico, ki morda ni najbolj higienska, vendar se meni zdi čist vredu, saj uporabljam korektor samo pod očmi. 

Concealer has a fresh, light weight texture and medium coverage. It probably won't cover up very dark circles, but for me it is enough. It doesn't settle into the fine lines if I set it with powder. Shade 005 is a light shade with yellow undertone which works perfect for me. There's also a lighter shade available: 002 Neutral Fair. I think the range of shades is great and I wonder why they don't make such light shades for their foundations (most of them are too dark for me). It's one of those concealers which have a sponge at the top which might not be hygienic, however I only use it under the eyes. But it is somehow handy to apply it directly onto the face. Plus it has a twist up system.

Catrice Hemp & Mint Glow Lip Balm 010 High On Life

Balzam za ustnice vsebuje konopljo ter mentol. Olje konoplje naj bi imelo hranilen učinek, mentol pa ustnice hladi in jim daje malce večji videz (ni močen učinek ter ne peče). Balzam pusti roza odtenek, glede na pH ustnic. Na meni je odtenek precej živo roza. Sicer je balzam lahek in nemasten, vendar se mi zdi, da bi lahko bil bolj hranljiv. Zato ga nimam za vsakdanjo uporabo ali za v torbico. 

This lip balm is based on hemp and menthol. Hemp oil is supposed to be nourishing, while menthol gives you a cooling effect and a plumper look (it is gentle - it doesn't sting or burn). Plus it is one of those color changing balms, so the pink shade varies based on the pH of your lips. My shade is pretty bright pink which I don't mind at all, but I wouldn't use it for every day. As it goes for hydrating, I don't think it is very moisturising. It is light weight, non-greasy but ok for here and there.
