Review: Essence & Catrice New In Spring/Summer 2020

Monday, May 11, 2020

Živjo punce.
Preden smo prešli v karanteno, sem prejela velikodušen paket Catrice in Essence novosti. S pomladjo so v drogerije dodali veliko novosti in nekaj sem jih imela priložnost preizkusiti. Iskreno, sem izdelke preizkušala tudi kar doma in je malce trajalo. Ampak končno sem skupaj spravila objavo...

Hi girls.
Honestly, I received this generous Essence & Catrice package right before we got into quarantine. Of course being spring, there are so many new products in drugstores even with this Corona virus going on. I was excited about new products so I was testing them even at home. But it took a while to test them all and compile today's post...






Essence Witch Side Palette

Paleta vsebuje 15 odtenkov: temno in svetlo stran z mat ter sijočimi odtenki. Embalaža je absolutno čudovita ter se slika na vrhu spreminja, ko jo premikaš. Mogoče bi lahko bila manjša in bolj priročna, saj so senčila precej velika in tudi prostora med njimi je veliko v paleti. Ampak je ena izmed palet, ki bi jo definitivno dala na ogled. Senčila so različno pigmentirana. Bleščeče ("marmorne") senčke so precej slabše pigmentirane in od njih dobiš samo učinek bleščic, vendar se tako drobijo, da se ne obdržijo na očeh niti z uporabo mokrega čopiča ali prsta. Ostale senčke so zelo dobro pigmentirane. Čeprav se matt odtenki precej drobijo, se zelo dobro zabrišejo ter je nanos lep in enostave. Za drogerijsko paleto se mi zdi precej dobra, razen teh marmornih senčil. Super je za tako dnevne kot bolj dramatične, večerne videze.

Palette consists of 15 color: dark and light side with various matt, shimmery and glittery shades. Packaging is really gorgeous and the picture on top shifts when you move it. Though it could be a bit smaller because the shades are very big and there's quite a lot of space in between in the palette. But I think it's a piece you don't travel with but display. Shades have different pigmentation. The glittery "marble" ones are quite badly pigmented. When applied, you don't actually get the color, but only glitter which usually falls down quickly. You cannot even apply it with wet brush or fingers. However other shades are gorgeous. Matt shades have a lot of fallout, however they blend very well and have a good pigmentation. And the shimmery shades are gorgeous as well (Enchanted, Talisman etc.). I do think it's a good drugstore palette (except for "marble" shades) and it's great for different day or night looks.


Notranji kotiček: Enchanted | Center: Charm | Zunanji kotiček: Potion
Inner Corner: Enchanted | Centre: Charm | Outter Corner: Potion


Različna pigmentacija senčk: bleščice se drobijo, sijoče senčke so kar vredu

Showing you glittery "baked shades which are badly pigmented:
Talisman (is actually ok), Power (so much fall out), Enchanted (also quite ok), Wicked (is dark in the pan, but performs badly when applied)


Disney Catrice Eyeshadow Palette - 02 Daisy's Signature

Odtenki paletke so v vijoličnih in roza ženstvenih tonih. Najbolj mi je v oko padel sredinski lila odtenek z veliko bleščicami, ampak me je najbolj razočaral. Pravzaprav se senčilo sploh ne da nanesti, saj je zelo trdo in na čopič ali prst ujamem samo nekaj bleščic. Poizkusila sem tudi z mokrim čopičem, ampak je res slaba senčka. Morala bi biti bolj mehka in kremasta, da bi se odtenek lepo prenesel na oči. Matt odtenki so vredu, ampak tudi niso najboljše pigmentirani. 
Na voljo je še podobna paleta: Minnie, katera pa ima bolj rdečkaste tone in izgleda res zanimivo. Žal me je pigmentacija te paletke malce razočarala. Sem preizkusila že kakšno res boljšo od Catrice.

I will just give you a short review of this palette because I was disappointed by it. When you first look at it, the shades look so pretty. However the glittery shades give no pigment and are really hard to use. You can only pick up a bit of glitter, no pigment and it's so hard to apply. They should have a more jelly consistency rather than dry. Matt shades are ok, but still the pigmentation is not great.
They have another palette in more burgundy and natural shades but I think it would disappoint me again. Catrice usually has nice, pigmented palettes but this one was quite bad.


Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes Mascara

Seveda nisem potrebovala še ene maskare in tudi preveč jih imam že odprtih. Pa vseeno sem prebrala, da se nekaterim dopade in sem jo še sama testirala. Gre za "tubing" maskaro, ki ovije vsako trepalnico posebej in se odstrani tudi samo z vodo, saj se potem preprosto odsvaljka dol. Ne zlepi trepalnic in ne povzroča grudic, tako, da gre za preprosto nanašanje brez packanja. Trepalnicam podari volumen in tudi dolžino. Sicer bi si želela, da bi bila še bolj volumenska, ker imam sama res rada videz tisočerih trepalnic. Res se ne razmaže (testirano tudi ob popoldanskem spancu) in ob solzah ali vodi se samo zdrobi dol. Raje imam, da me pod veko čaka kakšna pikica maskare, kot pa, da sem cela razpacana kot panda. Imam pa bolj mastne veke in se mi maskara kar hitro razpaca. Tako, da lahko za tole rečem, da me je presenetila. Res je dobra in jo priporočam, če imaš težave z obstojnostjo maskare.

This is a tubing mascara, so it wraps itself around the lashes. It lasts all day and can even withstand sweat and tears. Also it doesn't clump or crumble and can easily be removed with warm water. I really put it on the test and it's amazing. It doesn't smudge, it just crumbles off in such situations which I really like because when my eyelids become more oily, usually I would look like a panda (duh), but with this one I just see a dot of mascara here or there under my eyes. It's easy to just wipe it away and you still look fresh. I like the brush because separates lashes nicely and coats them individually. It gives you volume and length. Though I wish it would be even more volumizing because I love the look of "million" lashes. Still, I think it looks very nice on my lashes.  This mascara really surprised me and it's one of my favorite drugstore ones right now. I do recommend you trying it out, especially if you have trouble with longevity of mascaras.




Catrice Matt Pro Ink Non-Transfer

Šminka je ravno prav tekoča in enostavno mazljiva. Dovolj je tanek sloj. Ko jo naneseš, moreš počakati 10 sekund, da se lepo posuši. Potem pa je precej udobna. Še vedno jo občutiš na ustnicah, vendar jih ne zateguje takoj. Res nimam rada občutka zategovanja in tale se mi je zdela udobna tudi po parih urah. Mogoče bi lahko bil aplikator malce bolj precizen, vendar se vseeno lepo nanese. Je zelo obstojna in se ne odtisne tudi pri lupčkanju. Sicer pa mastne jedi lahko vseeno vplivajo na obstojnost. Odstranitev je zato malce težja, saj se z micelarno vodo najprej precej razmaže. Potrebno je uporabit dve gobici ali pa celo oljni odstranjevalec (kar sama ne dajem rada na ustnice). Sama imam dva temnejša roza odtenka. Na voljo je 10 odtenkov. Odtenek 080 Dream Big je taka malina roza barve in kar živega tona. Odtenek 060 I Choose Passion pa je temnejša roza z vijoličnim pridihom - taka "berry" barva.

These liquid lipsticks have just the perfect texture as they're easy to apply but not thick. One thin layer is enough for full coverage. You do have to wait about 10 seconds for it to fully dry though. After that it's quite comfortable. I don't like liquid lipsticks which tighten your lips and give you an uncomfortable feeling. I wore it for a few hours and I could feel is on my lips but it still wasn't too drying. It's transfer and kiss-proof. Though greasy meals could break it apart. But I found that taking it off was quite difficult. If you use micellar water, it can get messy and I need two cotton pads. Oil makeup remover is better but then again I don't like putting that on my lips. I got two darker pink shades but I'd love other nude shades as well. They offer 10 shades in total. Shade 080 Dream Big is quite pinky but with red undertone - I'd say it's a raspberry shade. While 060 I Choose Passion has a more violet, darker undertone and is more berry shade.

Essence 8h Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick

Tekoča šminka se zelo hitro posuši tako, da moreš z nanosom pohiteti. Tekstura je tekoča, tako, da ni pretežka. Pigmentiranost pa je odlična ter zadostuje tanek sloj za lepo prekrivnost. Pa vendar je meni takoj ustnice "zategnilo" skupaj ter mi je bila precej neudobna za nošenje. Sicer pa se mi zdi, da je tudi dobro obstojna. In tudi aplikator mi je ljubši pri tej tekoči šminki. Ampak raje priporočam Catrice tekoče šminke. Odtenek 05 Date Proof je roza nude.

This liquid lipstick is again more liquidy and doesn't look clumpy or too heavy. However it dries down very quickly and it tightens my lips right away. I find it very uncomfortable to wear, so I recommend Catrice liquid lipsticks instead. Though it has a very good staying power. And I prefer the applicator of this lipstick. Shade 05 Date Proof is a rosy nude color.
