Živjo.

Leto 2020 je tukaj in čas je za favorite leta 2019. Začenjamo z ličili, ki jih je letos malce več. Lanske favorite med ličili pa si lahko ogledaš tukaj. To so moji favoriti, ki sem jih preizkušala in so me navdušili v letošnjem letu. Nekako se ponavlja tip ličil, ki so mi najljubši, pa vendar so se odtenki malce zamenjali.

Hi girls.

It's the end of 2019 and it's time for yearly favorites. Starting off with favorite makeup. This year I purchased many great products and loved them. Last years favorites you can find here. I seem to repeat some brands and type of makeup. But some shades have changed. Still I stick to some makeup all the time. Most of this makeup I purchased myself...

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 - Fair

Opevana CC krema je tudi mene navdušila. Okej, morem priznati, da ni najboljši "puder" kar sem jih preizkusila, vendar se mi je hitro priljubil. Veliko pudrov se na moji mastni koži ne obnese, četudi so testirani na takšni koži. Zato imam le en ozek izbor podlag. O tej CC kremi govorim kot o pudru, ker je tako prekrivna, da zame ni samo CC krema. Je lahkotna in ustvari lep naravno matirajoč videz. Po njej se sicer hitreje svetim, vendar mi to ni moteče. Najbolj mi je všeč za dneve, ko se mi ne da ličit, ampak želim, da moja koža vseeno izgleda poenoteno in kot da je lepo naličena. Res je drag izdelek, vendar imam nekaj dražjih pudrov, ki se ne obnesejo tako dobro. Celotno objavo si lahko prebereš tukaj.

It Cosmetics CC cream is talk about so much, I had to try it. It's not the best foundation I've tried, however it grew on me and I've been loving it. I rarely find foundations that really work for my oily skin, so I have a limited selection. This foundation is not really a foundation, but a CC cream with more coverage. It's lightweight and is mattifying but still looks natural on the skin. I get shiny quicker, but I like the natural effect. I love it for days when I don't want much makeup on my skin, but still want to look presentable. It is quite expensive, however I have more expensive foundations that don't look as nice. You can find the whole post here.

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer & Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

Dva korektorja, ki sta me očaral to leto. Sicer sta si zelo podobna, zato se ne morem odločiti kateri mi je boljši, pa vendar si oba zaslužita mesto med favoriti. O njiju sem spisala primerjavo (več tukaj). Nars korektor je bolj prekriven in res dolgoobstojen, vendar je precej drag. Medtem, ko je Maybelline korektor tudi dovolj prekriven, daje naraven izgled ter je precej cenejši. Če bi se cenovno odločala bi zmagal Maybelline. Ko potrebujem večjo prekrivnost pa izberem Nars korektor. Vsak ima svoje prednosti, vendar sta oba dobra saj se ne vsedata v gubice.

The two concealers that wowed me this year. They might be really similar (even a dupe) but they are a bit different. You can read the whole comparison here. Nars concealer has a lot of coverage and is very long lasting but quite expensive. While Maybelline one has still a nice coverage, but is lighter and quite cheaper. If I chose based on the price, I'd choose Maybelline. However when I want a lot of coverage, I choose Nars. They're both good though and don't crease or settle into the lines.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

Še en kultni izdelek. In tudi mene je očaral. Gre za opevano maskaro (dupe naj bi bil L'orealova Lash Paradise maskara - katere nisem preizkusila). Je zelo volumenska, kar sama najprej iščem v maskari. Ima gosto krtačko in res zgosti ter naredi trepalnice zelo temno črne. Prav tako se ne razpaca kar tako.

Another cult product which wowed me. The famous mascara (L'Oreal has a dupe - Lash Paradise mascara which I haven't tried). It's very volumizing which I love. The thick brush really gets into the lashes and coats them nicely. The lashes look so voluminous and extremely black. Also it is quite long lasting.

Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara

Potem pa sem proti koncu leta preizkusila še eno odlično maskaro. Sicer je precej parfumirana, kar marsikomu ne bi bilo všeč. Tudi ta ima bolj gosto krtačko. Čeprav izgleda embalaža majhna, je v njej veliko maskare. Je zelo dobro volumenska in me je navdušila že od prve uporabe (običajno se morejo klasične maskare najprej malce posušiti). Več fotografij najdeš tukaj.

And then in the other half of the year I've tried Guerlain mascara and was again really impressed. This one is a bit perfumed which some might not like. I like the thick brush and nice packaging. It might look a bit small but it holds a lot of product. The volume effect is really great and it performed amazing even from the first try (usually you have to wait for mascara to dry a bit, so it starts performing great). You can find more photos and a post here.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Spotlight C-Pop

V letu 2019 sem našla tudi popoln odtenek Becca tekočega osvetljevalca. Pred tem sem uporabljala odtenek Opal, ki pa je bil malce temen za zimski čas. Ti osvetljevalci imajo res super teksturo. Zelo enostavno se nanašajo s prsti in sploh niso lepljivi. Se ne posušijo hitro, tako, da imaš čas, da ga zabrišeš (imam kar nekaj tekočih osvetljevalcev, ki se prehitro posušijo in jih niti ne morem dobro zabrisati).

This year I purchased another one of Becca liquid highlighters. This time in a lighter shade. Last year I used Opal, which was a bit dark for winter time. I just love the texture of these highlighters. They're so easy to apply with fingers and are not sticky at all. You also have some time to blend it in, not like some highlighters which dry quick before you can even blend them. Plus this small packaging seems to last a long time.

Catrice Luminice Highlight & Bronze Glow Palette 020 Feel Gold

Še en odličen osvetljevalec. Ta je drogerijski in ima denarnici prijazno ceno. Se pa lahko primerja z dražjimi osvetljevalci. Srednji odtenek je popoln: ne preveč zlat, v "šampanjec" barvi. Ni bleščičast, ampak daje res lep sijoč videz. Celotno oceno si lahko ogledaš tukaj.

Another great but drugstore highlighter. I say it could compare to more expensive highlighters. The middle shade is absolutely perfect (champagne shade) and looks so glowy on the skin without looking shimmery. Read more here.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb - Diamond Milk

Lani sem imela enakega favorita v odtenku Fenty Glow, letos pa sem v Italiji kupila še svetlejši odtenek: Diamond Milk. Glos ima fajno gosto teksturo in se na ustnicah obdrži kar nekaj časa. Včasih ga uporabim kar namesto balzama za ustnice, ker je malce hranljiv. Ima njami sladek vonj.

Še en izdelek, kateri je bil moj najljubši že lani (v odtenku Fenty Glow). Letos pa sem izbrala svetlejši odtenek: Diamond Milk. The gloss has a thicker texture, so it sticks to the lips for a longer time. It's not sticky at all and feels a bit hydrating so sometimes I use it instead of lip balm. Also I love the sweet yummy scent. Plus the packaging is absolutely gorgeous.

Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray - Oil Control

In še nazadnje sprej za utrjevanje ličil. Spet še en precej poznan izdelek v lepotni skupnosti. Gre nekako za cenejšo verzijo Urban Decay All Nighter spreja. Lepo utrdi ličila in manjša videz pudraste kože. Hkrati pa se ne čuti na koži in se hitro posuši. Tudi sprej je zelo fin in ne "zmoči" obraza.

Last but not least we have a setting spray. This one is actually a dupe for All Nighter, but I'm sure you knew that already. So again I got to try and see how it compares. I'd say it is great and it definitely replaces that spray. It fixes makeup very well and eliminates the powdery look. Plus it is lightweight and quickly dries. The nozzle is great and the mist is very fine, so it doesn't give you a wet look. 

Hi girls.

Time for some favorites. I know I forget to do them but I really wanted to do my March ones because there are some interesting products. It seems like everything is evolving around my hair. I could almost call this post: my hair favorites. But then there are two other items I've been loving. So let's see what impressed me in march...

Živjo punce.
Spet je čas za mesečne favorite. Na njih pogosto pozabljam ampak tokrat sem res želela omeniti nekaj izdelkov, ki so me navdušili. Večina se vrti okoli nege za lase, saj sem se z lasmi precej ukvarjala. Pa poglejmo kateri so bili moji najljubši izdelki meseca marca...

L'Oreal Colorista Ombre Bleach

One day I decided to color my hair with a blue Colorista dye. But then I've noticed that since summer my hair is not as light anymore. So I decided to bleach and ombre my hair with this product. In Slovenia you can get it in DM drugstore. It's obviously easy and cheap way to achieve ombre effect at home. I have never colored my hair at home before so for the first time doing it, I think I did quite well. The most important part of this ombre kit, is the brush with which you achieve that look. It is a thinner brush to vertically apply product onto the hair. The kit also comes with all the essentials for bleaching, a small shampoo and also the gloves. Be careful to read the instructions because at first I moved the brush horizontally, which resulted in some stripes in my hair; although it's not that visible. With this kit it is very easy to apply the color and do it by yourself. I do have to again mention that there is no toner in the kit, so my hair turned a bit yellow, but I'm fixing it with a purple shampoo. I am most likely bleaching my hair again soon because I want my ends to be really white and soon I'll also apply purple color to it.

En dan sem bila v DM drogeriji in sem se odločila, da bi ponovno pobarvala lase z Colorista barvo; tokrat modro. Ampak sem kmalu ugotovila, da po poletju, ko sem se postrigla, moji lasje niso več tako svetli. Zato sem se odločila, da malo posvetlim lase in ustvarim ombre s tem L'Oreal setom. Gre za zelo poceni in enostaven način, da si sama doma ustvariš ombre učinek na laseh. Najbolj pomemben del v tem setu je krtačka s katero lažje dosežeš ombre efekt. Je tanjša in nanjo naneseš izdelek ter z njo navpično češeš po laseh. Svetujem da si pred uporabo dobro preberete navodila, ker sem sama pomotoma česala tudi v vodoravno smer, zato imam tu in tam kakšno črto, ki pa ni tako opazna. Set je namenjen samo za beljenje las in zraven ni kakšnega tonerja. Tako so moji lasje postali malce rumeni, česar sem se rešila z vijoličnim šamponom. Verjetno pa bom lase spet pobelila, ker hočem, da so moje konice precej svetlejše. Enkrat pa sledi še nanos vijolične barve. 

Inebrya Ice Cream No-yellow Shampoo

This one was actually recommended by my co-workers. As mentioned, I did an ombre with L'Oreal Colorista Ombre kit. It turned out great but my hair was quite yellow; the same color it goes when my hair is on the sun for a long time. Of course I prefer an ashy color so I needed a purple shampoo. I firstly picked up one from Müller (Swiss-o-par silver shampoo) which wasn't great but then I decided to splurge on this one. You can get it in Tuš Drogerija or DM. It's very intensely pigmented and it totally works. I usually shower and wash my hair firstly with my normal shampoo. When I step out I put on this shampoo on the whole hair and put a shower cap on. I leave it on like that for at least 15 minutes. I wash it off like normal. It doesn't leave any color on the bath tub or sink, however my hands are usually purple afterwards; so a scrubbing is needed. The effect is amazing, especially on the lightest ends where they get a bit grey. It makes a huge difference and I recommend it hundred percent.

Ta šampon za lase so mi priporočila sodelavke. Kot sem že omenila, sem si naredila ombre, vendar so moji lasje postali malce bolj rumen. Sama pa imam raje bolj pepelnato barvo, zato sem potrebovala vijoličen šampon. Najprej sem kupila enega v Müllerju (Swiss-o-par silver šampon), ampak ni bil tako dober. Ice Cream šampon za lase pa je bil nakup leta. Dobi se v Tuš drogeriji in v DMu. Je zelo pigmentiran in je temno vijoličen, ampak res deluje. Sama se običajno stuširam in potem izven tuša nanesem šampon po celih laseh ter na vrh dam kapo za tuširanje. Tako pustim, da je šampon na laseh vsaj 15 minut. Normalno si sperem lase. Šampon ne obarva bane ali umivalnika, vendar pa so moje dlani po nanosu precej vijolične in jih morem drgnit. Učinek šampona je noro dober, ker res takoj nevtralizira rumene tone in tam kjer so lasje zelo svetli, dobijo malce sivega tona. Res je učinkovit in ga 100% priporočam.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - Champagne Pop 

Wasn't a big fan of Opal pressed highlighter, but oh my this one is different. This shade is not as golden, but more champagne (of course) and it blends so nicely with my pale skin. It still is a bit glittery but not too much. It's more like a nice shimmer. Plus it's very pigmented, which I love.

Becca osvetljevalci so zelo opevani. Meni sicer Opal odtenek v kamnu ni tako všeč, vendar je Champagne Pop drugačen. Ta odtenek je tista prava barva "šampanjca", ki se zelo lepo zlije z mojo ultra svetlo poltjo. Še vedno ima nekaj bleščic, ampak to ni tako opazno. Zgleda bolj kot lep sijaj na licih. Hkrati pa je zelo pigmentiran in res izgleda čudovito na koži. 

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream

I bought this cream quite a long time ago but somehow forgot to mention it. It's all purpose hydrating cream. Texture looks very thick and oily. I used it firstly on very dry patches on my hands. It was quite nice before bed but it's not the best. Then I used it on my lips which I like the most. The scent is not that pleasant, however I like the effect. It makes your lips look quite oily and juicy. It looks like a clear gloss but better which I love. It won't heal the cracked lips but it does hydrate and plump up the lips. If you're looking for and "oily", watery kinds look, this is the best.

Tole "kremo" sem kupila že kar nekaj časa nazaj ampak sem jo pozabila vključiti na blog. Seveda sem jo kupila spet zato, ker sem slišala same pohvale. Gre za večnamensko vlažilno kremo, tako da jo lahko nanesete kamorkoli, kjer imate suho kožo. Tekstura je res gosta in oljnata. Najprej sem jo uporabljala na suhih predelih na dlaneh. Kožo je navlažila, vendar učinek ni bil najboljši. Potem sem jo začela uporabljati na ustnicah, kjer mi je bila najbolj všeč. Sicer vonj ni najbolj prijeten, ampak mi je všeč učinek. Na ustnicah izgleda kot nekakšno olje ter jih naredi lepo sočne. Sicer ne reši najbolj razpokanih ustnic, vendar lepo vlaži ter daje učinek polnejših ustnic. Če iščete takšen učinek videza "oljnih" ali vodenih ustnic, jo res priporočam.

L'Oreal Paris Professional Mythic Oil

Another hair favorite. I'm not usually into hair care because all I care about is a nice de-greasing shampoo and a dry shampoo here and there. Well I do also put some oil on my wet hair to comb through nicely and keep them away from looking too dry. I didn't care much for this oil but then I started using it and I love the way it smells. It really makes my hair smell nicely even after straightening it. Also I like that it's a bit lighter so it absorbs very quickly without weighing down the hair.

Še en favorit za lase. Sicer je to vse novo zame, saj običajno uporabljam smo šampon za mastne lase in suh šampon tu in tam. Sicer pa vedno nanesem olje na mokre lase, da se lažje razčešejo in so konice vsaj malo negovane. Tole olje je bilo v moji zalogi že nekaj časa. Začela sem ga uporabljat, ker sem porabila starega. In takoj sem odkrila, da mi je res všeč. Tekstura je res lahkotna in se hitro vpije lase ter jih ne zmasti. Hkrati pa ima noro lep vonj, katerega ne znam opisat. Moji lasje dišijo lepo tudi po tem, ko si jih zravnam. To me je najbolj pritegnilo pri tem olju. 

Živjo punce.

Kot obljubljeno, vam danes pokažem kaj sem nakupila na zadnjem potovanju v Rimu, v Italiji. Najbolj sem nakupovala v Sephori, sem se pa ustavila tudi v trgovini Kiko Milano. Res rada nakupujem v tujini, vendar samo znamke, ki pri nas niso dostopne. Nekaj nakupljenih izdelkov sem že poizkusila in mislim, da sem dobro izbrala...

Hi girls. 

As promised, today I'm showing you what I bought on my latest trip to Rome, Italy. Mainly I shopped in Sephora and then I also stopped in Kiko Milano store. I love shopping abroad for brands that we cannot get in Slovenia. I have already tried some of the products and I think I picked some great ones...

Najprej sem kupila Becca set in sicer C Pop Glow On The Go. Tale set imam že v odtenku Opal in so mi izdelki zelo všeč, čeprav je osvetljevalec v kamnu malce preveč bleščičast ter zlat za mojo polt. Tokrat sem se odločila, da preizkusim opevan Champagne Pop, saj sem po testiranju v trgovini ugotovila, da je odtenek svetlejši in bi mi verjetno lepše pristajal. Prav sem se odločila saj je odtenek popoln in oba izdelka sta mi zelo všeč. Čeprav je tekstura tekočega osvetljevalca moja najljubša, pa je tudi ta osvetljevalec v kamnu zelo lep saj izgleda manj bleščeč in je zelo lep na koži saj je v lepem odtenku šampanjca.

Firstly I bought Becca C Pop Glow On The Go. I already own an Opal version of this set and have been loving it even though the powder highlight is just too glittery and too gold for me. This time I decided to try the Champagne Pop version because I tested it in the store and the shade is lighter which I though would suit me better. And I picked good because I already love it. The liquid highlighter is my favorite formula of highlighter and I recommend it 100%. I even like the pressed highlighter because it's not that glittery and suits me very nicely.

Nato sem izbrala tudi set, ki ga sicer nisem potrebovala ampak te znamke še nisem preizkusila. Gre za Marc Jacobs set Sugar High Nude Lip Trio. Vsebuje mini šminko, lip gloss ter črtalo za ustnice. Slednjega sem preizkusila nekajkrat in je zelo prijeten. Tekstura je kremasta in zelo enostavno se nanaša. Posuši se v matt finiš in ostane na ustnicah kar nekaj časa. Odtenek mi pristoji saj je podoben odtenku mojih ustnic, vendar jih še olepša in je malo bolj bež. Gloss ter šminko pa še morem preizkusiti.

A set I didn't need but caught my eye because I haven't tried this brand before is: Marc Jacobs Sugar High Nude Lip Trio. You get a lipstick, lip gloss and a lip liner in it. I've tried lip liner a few times and it is really lovely. The texture is creamy so it applies very easily but then it dries down to a matt formula so it doesn't budge. The shade is my lip color but a bit more on a beige side and I think it suits me nicely. Still have to try lipstick and the lip gloss.

Ker absolutno obožujem originalno različico Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb glossa v odtenku Fenty Glow, sem se odločila kupiti še en nov odtenek: Diamond Milk, tokrat v "full-size" različici. Ta odtenek je sicer bolj srebrno bel ter ob nanosu na ustnice na začetku izgleda precej belo, vendar ko ga lepo rapzorediš se zlije z ustnicami. Pusti sijoč videz z bleščicami, ki pa niso vpadajoče. Res izgleda lepo. Tile glosi so mi tudi zelo všeč, ker niso lepljivi in se občutijo precej vlažilno.

I absolutely adore the original Gloss Bomb in the shade Fenty Glow which I have in a travel size. That's why I decided to purchase a new shade of Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Diamond Milk. It's in a silvery white shade which when applied at first looks quite white but then you rub your lips together and it blends nicely. It adds some sparkle and light glow to the lips. It just looks so juicy and pretty. I also love these glosses because they don't feel sticky and are quite hydrating.

Moja L'Occitane CC krema je bila v zadnjih izdihljajih (najboljša stvar ever), zato sem se odločila, da preizkusim kakšen podoben izdelek saj so trenutno koži takšne obarvane kreme zelo všeč. Izbrala sem Kiko Milano Daily Protection BB Cream (01 Ivory) kremico. Tekstura je sicer bolj gosta in tudi sama krema je precej odišavljena. Sicer pa mi je všeč koliko prekrivnosti nudi brez, da bi se opazil dodaten sloj na obrazu. Na moji bolj mastni koži (trenutno sicer malce bolj dehidrirani) ostane lep videz okoli 4 ure po nanosu.

Prav tako sem vzela še Kiko Milano High Lightening Effect Fluid Concealer (01) - korektor, saj je izgledal cenejši dvojnik za YSL Touche Eclat in te rada preizkušam. Testirala sem ga samo enkrat in tekstura je sicer malce prelahka. Odtenek pa je rumenkast in mi je všeč.

Še eno zanimivost sem opazila: Kiko Milano Softening Hands Mask - masko za roke in ker so moje roke trenutno bolj suhe, se mi je zdela dovolj interesantna, da jo preizkusim. Nisem je še sicer testirala, vendar poročam, ko bom.

I used up my L'Occitane CC cream which was the best thing ever and decided to try a new one because my skin likes these products at the moment. I actually picked Kiko Milano Daily Protection BB Cream. It feels a bit thicker and is quite heavily scented. Though I do like the coverage it gives me without looking like a mask. On my oily skin (a bit drier atm) stays nice for about 4 hours.

Also could not pass the Kiko Milano High Lightening Effect Fluid Concealer because it looked like YSL Touche Eclat and I like to try cheaper dupes. I only tried it once and I think the formula is a bit too thin. Though the shade is nice.

Then I spotted Kiko Milano Softening Hands Mask which sounds interesting because my hands are so dry and none of the hands creams help them entirely. I haven't tried it yet but will report.

Še ena zanimiva trgovinica, ki jo najdeš v večjih državah je: Tiger. Imajo res luštne in zanimive izdelke za dom in pisalne potrebščine. Tam bi vse pokupila, vendar ne rabim toliko stvari in tudi jih običajno ne spravim v kovček. Kupila sem samo Make-Up gobico iz lepotne sekcije ter flumastre in en blokec.

V Sephori sem še kupila Merci Handy Hand Cleansing Gel - gel za razkuževanje rok, ker ga je fajn imeti s seboj v torbici kamor koli greš.

A fun store you can find in bigger countries is Tiger. They have such fun home accessories and stationery and I would buy everything if I could pack it with me. I only bought Make-Up Sponge from beauty section and some pens though.

Also I picked this Merci Handy Hand Cleansing Gel in Sephora because it's just handy to have it in the bag.

Živjo punce.

Konec leta 2018 je tukaj in čas je za moje letne favorite. To so izdelki, ki so me v letu 2018 res navdušili in bi jih ponovno kupila, če mi jih zmanjka. Začnimo pa kar z ličili, saj so meni najbolj privlačna tema.

Hi girls. 

2018 is coming to an end, so of course it's time for some yearly favorites. Today I will talk about the makeup products that impressed me this year and I would repurchase them if they run out...

Dior Diorshow Pump’N’Volume Mascara

Ta maskara je ena izmed najboljših kar sem jih preizkusila (za njo je takoj še Lancôme Hypnôse maskara). Sicer je na začetku precej mokra, vendar je po nekaj uporabah popolna. Doda res veliko volumna in dolžine - učinek je res wau. Več o njej si lahko prebereš tukaj. Sicer ta embalaža, ki jo lahko stiskaš meni ni tako wau, ker je tudi nisem stiskala saj je bila drugače krtačka preveč pokrita z izdelkom. (p.s. embalaža na fotografiji je seveda že prazna).

This mascara is one of the best I've tried so far (in the second is za njo je takoj še Lancôme Hypnôse mascara). At first it seemed quite wet but after a few tries I loved it. It adds a ton of volume and length. It makes my lashes look fake but in a good way. The packaging is gimmicky as the tube is squeezable and I didn't use that feature as the brush would get coated too much. Read more about it here. (of course this mascara is very much empty).

Fenty Beauty The Bomb Gloss

Vedno povem, da nisem največji ljubitelj glosov (včasih sem bila obsedena z njimi), pa vendar me tu in tam kateri navduši. Tale Fenty glos je nekako poseben. Ima gosto teksturo, vendar ni lepljiva ampak se občuti precej vlažilno. Najbolj pa je lep učinek na ustnicah, saj pusti tako lep sijaj ter naredi ustnice sočne. Čeprav izgleda v embalaži precej bleščeče, pa na na ustnicah ne deluje tako.

I say all the time that I'm not a fan of lip gloss (I used to only wear gloss though), however here and there I'm impressed with one. This Fenty one is special and not just because everyone hypes about it and because it's Rihanna's line. It has a nice thicker texture without being sticky and on the lips it feels quite hydrating. But mostly it gives my lips such a nice juicy shiny effect. It does contain glitter, which you cannot feel and it doesn't even look glittery on the lips.

Bourjois Satin Edition 24H Eyeshadows (Mauve your body & Beige-seller)

Sama imam rada enostavno ličenje in izdelke s katerimi hitro dosežeš žele videz, zato so mi tudi ta Bourjois senčila priročna. So tekoče oblike, s klasičnim aplikatorjem kot pri tekočih šminkah, tako da ga enostavno potapkaš na veko in potem zabrišeš s čopičem. Z enim senčilom hitro dosežeš lep očesni videz. Senčila pa so tudi zelo dobro obstojna in se hitro posušijo na vekah, tako da se ne zbirajo v gubah. Tudi odtenki so lepi. Več tukaj.

I'm all about simple makeup and products that make you achieve effortless look without much input. That's why I like these Bourjois eye shadows. They're in a liquid form with a doe-foot applicator which allows you to simply dot the product onto the eyelids and blend out with a blending brush. It simple and immediately you have an eye shadow look. Also these shadows are very long lasting and dry up quickly, so they don't bunch in the crease. These are also available in a beautiful array of shades. More photos here.

Benefit Galifornia Blush

Po tem, ko sem odkrila Hoola bronzer, ki je še vedno moj favorit, pa sem si v Parizu kupila še tole rdečilo za lička. Gre za zlato pink odtenek, ki je na pogled precej oranžen. Pa vendar, na licih pusti tako lep zagorel, poleten videz. Meni so taki odtenki res lepi in tale ni izjema. Poleg tega, pa se enostavno zabriše in izgleda popolno. Sicer ga sedaj pozimi ne uporabljam, ampak pride na vrsto v vseh drugih letnih časih.

After being obsessed with Hoola bronzer, which is still my favorite, I bought in Paris also this blush. It's a golden pink shade which in the pan looks quite orange. However it gives the most beautiful  summery sun kissed look to the cheeks. I love this kind of shades and this one is special as well. Other than that, the formula is amazing since it looks effortless and blends very easily. I don't use it in the winter time but it is in my everyday makeup all year around.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid - Opal

Še en izdelek in odkritje za katerega sem tako vesela, da sem si ga kupila. Sicer gre za mini različico (enkrat imam namen kupit full-size izdelek). Je tekoč osvetljevalec v bež zlatem odtenku. Je ravno prave teksture saj ni tako tekoč kot nekateri osvetljevalci, ampak se tudi enostavno zabriše. Doda lep naraven sijaj brez vidnih bleščic. Sicer za mojo popolnoma belo polt ni najbolj primeren za pozimi, ker je malce pretemen za ta čas, drugače ga pa vedno uporabljam. Več fotografij na obrazu najdeš tukaj.

Another product which I'm so happy I bought. It is in a travel size version, however one day I will buy the full size. This is a liquid highlighter in a golden beige shade. The texture is perfect: not too liquidy and it blends very easily even with fingers. It gives the skin the most beautiful natural glow.  It doesn't look glittery at all which I love. It is kinda darker than my ghostly pale skin, so I don't use it now in the winter, other than that I use it all the time. See more pictures here. 

Makeup Revolution 4K Highlighter Palette - Rose Gold

To paletko osvetljevalcev sem prejela šele en mesec nazaj, vendar jo od takrat uporabljam skoraj vsak dan. Vsebuje 4 osvetljevalce: dva svetlejša (bel ter rose gold) in dva temnejša (zlat s pink duokrom učinkom in bronze). Uporabljam seveda samo svetla odtenka. Sicer je v samem prahu precej bleščic, ampak se nekako ob nanosu na koži lepo zlijejo. Bel odtenek je precej svetel vendar se na moji koži prav lepo zabriše in na licih ne pusti "črte". Z njim pa moreš biti res pazljiv. Rose gold pa je res zelo lep odtenek saj ima univerzalen bež podton z dodatkom malce roza barve. Za mojo polt ni pretemen in se lepo zabriše ter se odtenek na koži ne pozna. Ostane le lep sijaj. Osvetljevalci so res noro dobro pigmentirani in enostavni za uporabo tudi za začetnice.

This highlighter palette I received only a month ago and I've been using it almost every day since. It has 4 highlighters in it: two light ones (white and rose gold) and two dark ones (gold with pink duo chrome and a bronze). I use only the lighter ones. At first you can see a bunch of glitter in the powder, however when applied on the skin it doesn't actually look that glittery. The white shade is pearlescent and, however on my very pale skin it does blend in quite well without leaving a "striped" look. You do have to be a bit more careful with that shade. The rose gold shade is very pretty and blends into the skin very nicely. It has that nice beige undertone and is not too dark for me. The highlighters are very pigmented and easy to blend even if you're just a beginner at it.

Hi girls.

I've decided to show you a few products I've been using lately to get a more perfected skin. Also there will be some tips included and I hope this post will be interesting for you. You can use these techniques even in winter, however at that time I seem to change up my makeup products. In summer months I stay away from heavy makeup but I want my skin to look as beautiful as possible. Which you can achieve with a reasonable amount of right makeup. Also summer is all about the glowy skin, though because I have oily type of skin, I don't go over the top with highlighting products. So let's see what I use..

Živjo punce.

Torat vam bom opisala izdelke in tehnike s katerimi lahko dosežem videz izpopolnjene kože. Upam, da vam bo zapis zanimiv. Te tehnike lahko uporabite tudi pozimi, vendar sama takrat spremenim izbor izdelkov. Poleti se tako izogibam močnemu videzu ličil vendar želim, da je koža videti lepo. To se doseže z določenim nanosom pravih ličil. Poleti se na veliko govori o sijočem videzu, vendar ker je moja koža že naravno precej mastna, se izogibam pretirani uporabi osvetljevalcev. Torej, poglejmo kaj uporabljam...

Firstly, for skincare it is very important to have a great routine with products that work for you. I try as much to keep my skin clear from any impurities. When my skin has much texture I use a face scrub to remove dead skin. I always use Lush Ocean Salt scrub, once every two weeks which seem to work fine for me. And cleansing is also very important. Before bed I always double cleanse (makeup remover, then gel cleanser). Then I use light skincare, which usually involves any serum that I have in rotation at the moment. In the morning I keep it simple and only cleanse my face. I always use a cream before applying my makeup and wait for it to sink in. If I know pimple is coming through, I always apply some of the Tea Tree Oil drops from The Body Shop. Also Tea Tree Water toner from Lush is a saviour when having breakouts. 

Najprej je seveda zelo pomembna nega kože in da imate dobro rutino z izdelki, ki vam ustrezajo. Sama skušam kožo čim bolje negovati, da je čista in brez nepravilnosti. Tako, ko zaznam, da je tekstura kože čudna, posežem po pilingu, da odstranim odmrle delce. Vsaka dva tedna uporabim Lushev Ocean Salt piling, saj mi je najljubši. Zvečer pa si obraz vedno dvakrat čistim (najprej odstranim ličila, nato še uporabim čistilo v gelu). Sledi pa lahka nega obraza, tako uporabim kakšen serum, ki ga imam takrat v rotaciji. Zjutraj pa si samo lepo očistim obraz in je moja nega bolj preprosta. Pred nanosom ličil vedno nanesem kremo za obraz ter počakam nekaj minut. Kadar pa vem, da se mi bo naredil mozoljček, uporabim The Body Shop: Tea Tree Oil kapljice. Tudi Lushev Tea Tree Water tonik je moj najljubši za nečist kožo.

Now onto the makeup. For base I keep it light because when being in a warm environment, I think my makeup gets cakey if there's too much product on it. I often use Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base in the shade 02 Champagne which gives a natural glow and prepares my skin for the next step. For foundation I still use Revlon Colorstay (150 Buff), which is medium coverage, but for this look I use a smaller amount, just to swipe it all over the face. Then I would focus on the areas which need extra coverage. There I would use Bourjois Radiance Reveal. That concealer is amazing because it provides medium coverage but it's light weight and doesn't crease. Also it's hydrating (Hyaluronic Acid) without looking cakey. For more coverage I would use: Lancôme Effacernes Longue Tenue Concealer. The key part here is to blend everything together using a wet makeup sponge. This little one from Real Techniques (Mini Eraser Sponge) is amazing for concealer and blending in areas. I still set my makeup with Rimmel Stay Matte! powder, but I use a smaller amount, to not look cakey.

In k ličenju...Podlaga naj bo čim lažja saj so poleti ličila lahko precej težka in dajejo pudrast videz, če jih nanesemo preveč. Velikokrat najprej nanesem Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion bazo v odtenku 02 Champagne, saj mi daje svež videz in pripravi kožo na naslednji korak. Še vedno uporabljam Revlon Colorstay tekoči puder, ki ima srednjo prekrivnost, vendar ga poleti nanesem majhno količino, ravno toliko, da prekrijem cel obraz. Nato se osredotočim na področja, ki potrebujejo več prekrivanja. Pri tem uporabim korektor Bourjois Radiance Reveal, kateri nudi srednjo prekrivnost in je tako lahkoten, da ga na koži ni opaziti. Prav tako je vlažilen saj vsebuje hialuronsko kislino. Za področja, ki potrebujejo res odlično prekrivnost pa uporabim Lancôme Effacernes Longue Tenue korektor. Ključni del pa je zabrisovanje z mokro gobico za nanos ličil. Tale od Real Techniques je super za zabrisovanje korektorja ter detajlov. Celoten makeup zaključim z Rimmel Stay Matte! pudrom v kamnu, katerega nanesem na rahlo, da videz ni pudrast.

For highlighting I am obsessed with Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid in the shade Opal. I apply a few dots on top of my cheeks and on my brow bone and then just blend out with finger. The finish is very natural and not too shimmery. Plus it adds that needed summer glow. I might also put it onto my eyelids. And then I focus on bronzing, which I'm back to Benefit Hoola Bronzer. It is just so easy to use as the powder is very fine and doesn't look patchy on the skin. I use a small amount because it's really pigmented and my skin is so pale. I would also use it in the crease of my eyelids.

Trenutno sem obsedena z Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid osvetljevalcem v odtenku Opal. Na vrh lic ter pod obrvi nanesem nekaj pikic katere zabrišem s prsti. Ključni izgled je zelo naraven ter ne bleščičast. S tem osvetljevalcem dosežem takšen lep, poleten sijaj. Lahko pa ga naneseš tudi na veke. Nadaljujem z uporabo bronzerja. Spet sem obsedena z Benefit Hoola bronzerjem. Ta doda ključen poleten videz zagorelosti. Ker sem zelo svetla, ga uporabim narahlo, pa vendar s tem dodam obrazu nekaj "življenja". Včasih ga uporabim tudi v pregibu vek oči.

I keep the eyes simple and just use DiorShow: Pump'n'Volume mascara which gives me amazing, fake-looking lashes. And finish off my brows with some Golden Rose brow mascara. For the lips I use just a simple creamy lipstick. My go to nude is MAC: Faux. Of course every makeup has to be finished with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to blend the makeup together, eliminate the powdery look and make it last all day long.

Oči pustim enostavne ter samo uporabim DiorShow - Pump'n'Volume maskaro, katera mi daje nor videz umetnih trepalnic. Na obrvi pa nanesem Golden Rose Brow Color Tinted Eyebrow maskaro. Za ustnice želim, da so videti čim bolj kremaste, zato nanesem tudi temu primerno vlažilno ali kremasto šminko. Moj najljubši "nude" odtenek je trenutno Faux, znamke MAC. Vsak videz pa ni popoln brez Urban Decay All Nighter spreja. Ta odstrani pudrast videz, pripomore k temu, da se ličila na koži lepše zlijejo in so obstojna dalj časa.

Živjo punce.
Opazila sem, da res z veseljem kupujem mini oziroma majhne različice ličil. Verjetno se strinjamo, da izgledajo takšne embalaže res luštno. Hkrati pa če želim preizkusiti malce dražje izdelke, se mi zdi ful fajn, da le tega preizkusim, da se izognem katastrofalnemu nakupu. Seveda če preračunamo, je nakupovanje takšnih izdelkov morda dražje, vendar jih jaz raje kupim, ker ne vem ali mi bodo všeč. Takšne mini oziroma potovalne izdelke lahko po večini kupite v Sephori in podobnih trgovinah z ličili. Kakšne negovalne izdelke in produkte za kožo pa dobite tudi v klasičnih drogerijah. Hkrati pa če radi letite in ste omejeni na ročno prtljago, se morate tudi držati pravil koliko tekočin lahko vzamete s seboj in je takrat takšna opcija res fajn. Sicer pa kakšne šampone itd. je fajn samo prelit v majhne embalaže.

Hi girls.

I noticed that I'm quite obsessed with buying mini sized products. First of all they look so cute but then again if I want to try an expensive makeup product, sometimes I'd rather just test it firstly to see how it performs on me. If you calculate it, buying mini sized products might be a bit more expensive but in my opinion if you can sometimes avoid a disastrous purchase, it's worth it. Mostly you can find mini/travel options for makeup in Sephora and such. But for skincare and other, you can get it even in drugstores or sometimes it's a gift with purchase. Plus if you always travel with hand luggage, you're limited to how much liquid you can take with you, so these come in handy. Though I'd advise you to sometimes use up one packaging and then fill it up with what you have at home.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer 

Ne spomnim se, da bi kdaj sploh porabila rdečilo za lička ali bronzer. Zato se mi takšna ideja majhnega bronzerja zdi super odločitev. Le tega sama vzamem s seboj res povsod kamor grem in še vedno se mi ni uspelo prebiti do dna. Odtenek je super, ker ni topel in izgleda precej naravno na koži.  Velikost embalaže pa je res pravšnja. Čopič, ki sem ga dobila zraven pa sicer ni najbolj uporaben, kar me ne moti.

I can't remember that I'd ever used up a blush or a bronzer. So purchasing a smaller bronzer was a perfect decision. I literally take it everywhere I go and I still haven't hit the pan. I think the shade is great as it's not too orangey and it looks very nice on the skin, not patchy at all. The brush might be useless but the actual size of packaging is just great.

Benefit Galifornia Blush

Še en Benefit potovalen izdelek za lička. V embalaži izgleda zelo oranžno, vendar, če so vam všeč marelični odtenki, je ta res lep. Z rahlim nanosom, daje licem pravšnjo barvo. Izgleda lepo in lička delujejo živa. Odtenek je tudi super za poletja in festivalsko sezono. Kvaliteta pa je prav tako kot pri bronzerju odlična, tako da mi je res všeč.

Another great mini cheek product by Benefit. It might looks scarily orange in the pan, however if you love peachy blushes, this one is just beautiful. With a light swipe, it gives you right amount of color. Plus the color is great for summer time and festival season. The quality is great and I just love it.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

Tole je eden izmed mojih "must have" izdelkov, ko potujem. Je verjetno eden izmed najboljših sprejev za fiksiranje ličil. Tega majhnega hranim za potovanja ali dolge dneve. Všeč mi je, ker mojega obraza ne matira popolnoma in ga ne "zategne". Hkrati pa dobro osveži obraz, odstrani pudrast videz ter ličilom podaljša obstojnost. Iz spreja pa se razprši zelo fina meglica, kar redko opazim pri drugih sprejih.

This is a must when travelling. It might really be one of the best setting sprays. I've used up a big bottle and have been keeping small one for when travelling. I like that it doesn't completely mattify my skin, so it doesn't give you a tight feeling. But mainly it's great because it makes your makeup a bit more long lasting and it definitely eliminates a powdery look. The spray on these is great: it's very fine and covers the whole face quickly. 

Makeup Forever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder

Tudi puder v prahu kar težko porabiš, ker ga za eno uporabo potrebuješ precej malo. Tako se mi ta potovalna velikost zdi popolna. Embalaža pa je super, saj je oblikovana tako, da prah ne uide iz sita in ne leti povsod. Tekstura pudra je zelo fina in lahkotna ter se lepo zlije s kožo. Sam izdelek se mi za takšno ceno ne zdi tako poseben, vendar deluje.

Again, loose powders go a long way and if you don't use them regularly, this kind of "travel" size is just perfect. I love this packaging because it has a stopper, so the powder doesn't fly up everywhere. But the actual powder is very light and blends into the skin easily. I don't think it's that amazing for the price, but it's nice.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid - Opal

V Parizu sem kupila Becca set z osvetljevalcema v prahu ter tekoči obliki, v odtenku Opal. Sicer sem mislila, da mi bo najbolj všeč kompaktni osvetljevalec, vendar me je tekoči popolnoma presenetil. Kompaktni izgleda precej bleščeče, medtem, ko se tekoč precej lepše zabriše in zlije s kožo, tako da izgleda bolj naravno. Enostavno ga je uporabljati in končen učinek je res lep. Sama ga zabrišem kar s prsti in včasih na vrh nanesem transparenten puder, da odstranim lepljivost, ki pa ni tako moteča.

I bought a Becca set with Powder & Liquid highlighter in the shade Opal in Paris (see the haul here). I thought I would prefer the pressed powder, however I was stunned by the liquid highlighter. The powder looks a bit too glittery while the liquid blends in nicely and leaves such a natural nice sheen on the skin. It's so easy to use and the effect is just perfect. I mostly blend it in with my fingers and sometimes set it with translucent powder even though the texture is not really sticky.

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.
