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.

April in maj sta bila meseca velikih novosti saj se počasi približuje poletje. Tako sem imela priložnost testiranja kar veliko izdelkov. V tej objavi pa bom omenila le tiste, ki sem jih uspela preizkusiti. Nekaj jih še namreč čaka na test, saj imam samo eno kožo ane :)

Hi girls.

It seems like April & May have been the months of new launches since summer is approaching quickly. I've been sent quite some new products and today I'll talk about some beauty products that I've actually tried and have opinion on already. Some are still waiting for a test as obviously I cannot test that many products at the same time.

This palette I received quite some time ago. Immediately when I opened it, I noticed a great variety of shades. So if you want to include more color into your makeup, this one would be perfect for you. The eye shadows seem very pigmented and they actually last a long time on the eyelids. I think MR has reformulated some eye shadows because these seem better quality than in the past.

Bourjois has been on fire with many new launches. I've written a complete review of these new cheek products - find it here. The packaging is adorable and the shades are gorgeous as well. These are one of the nicest looking blushes out there. They look so natural and lovely on the skin. Also the Petit Strober - highlighter is a champagne shade which is nice as well for any skin tones. The only thing I don't like is heavy smell of violets (not my favorite scent), however it disappears quickly on the skin.

Max Factor je ustvaril tole kremno paleto za senčenje z osmimi odtenki. Takšni produkti so v drogeriji kar redki, zato jih je veselje videt na poličkah trgovin. Sama najprej nanesem tekočo podlago in potem odtenek za senčenje na želene predele (natančna navodila so tudi na hrbtni strani embalaže). Kremnih izdelkov pa sicer ne smemo nanašati preko izdelkov v prahu saj lahko le ti pustijo čuden videz in se podlaga kar premakne. Najlažje je takšne izdelke nanašati z ovalnimi čopiči saj so ti zelo gosti in dobro zabrišejo kremne izdelke, da se ne opazijo črte. Odtenki niso zelo pigmentirani, zato jih je lahko nanašati ter slojiti. Svetlejši odtenki v paleti pa mi sicer niso kaj preveč všeč, ker so matt in lahko povzročijo nabiranje korektorja v gubicah. Lahko pa jih uporabljaš za popravljanje napak pri senčenju. Odtenki za senčenje so mi všeč in se mi ta paleta zdi precej dobra, če komaj začenjate vaditi senčenje obraza.

This is an 8-shade cream contour palette. You don't mostly see these kind of products in the stores so it's refreshing to see it on the market. You do have to get used to the creams. Firstly I apply my foundation and then contour all over where you're supposed to add it (there are instructions on the back). Also you should not add cream products on top of powder products. I found that the creams blend the easiest with Oval brushes because the bristles are so densely packed that it blends seamlessly. The shades are not crazily pigmented which means that you won't make many mistakes but still the colors are buildable. I don't really like the highlighting shades because they don't do that much (matt effect) and can crease up your concealer. But they can be used to fix a few mistakes. Though the contour shades are really nice. All in all, it's a great product for drugstore or if you're only getting into contouring.

Linija MicellAir Expert je odobrena s strani umetnikov ličenja in vsebuje izvleček črnega čaja, ki pomaga k učinkovitemu odstranjevanju nečistoč. Ker gre za dvofazni odstranjevalec ličil, je pred uporabo potrebno izdelek pretresti. Tekočina ni mastna in je zelo podobna micelarni vodi. Ličila kar dobro odstrani, vendar je pri zelo črnih maskarah potrebno nekaj več bombažnih blazinic. Sicer mi je odstranjevalec kar všeč, ni pa revolucionarni.

The MiceallAir Expert line is supposed to be approved by makeup artists and is infused with black tea extract to completely remove any impurities. This is  two phase oil, so you have to shake it well before use. I usually love these kind of removers. And this one does it's job well. The texture is not greasy and feels more like micellar water. It removes makeup nicely, however if you wear extra black mascara, it might take a cotton pad or two more to remove it completely. Otherwise I think it's a nice makeup remover product, however I don't see anything revolutionary about it.

Nivea MicellAir Expert Face Wipes

The Body Shop Mint Mattifying Face Mist

TBS je lansiral spreje meglice za obraz za različne tipe kože: za utrujeno, mastno, občutljivo, suho ali pusto kožo. Sama sem seveda testirala tole za mastno kožo, ki naj bi pustila matirajoč učinek. Ker vsebuje meto, sem mislila, da bo vonj spominjal na žvečilne gumije ali zobno pasto, vendar je prijetno osvežilen. Meglica je lepo fina in se fajn razprši ter hitro vpije v kožo. Daje takojšen občutek svežine. Prav tako po minuti, ko se posuši, makeup izgleda malce bolj matt. Seveda ne matira popolnoma, vendar se mi zdi da odstrani nekaj sijaja. Odstrani "pudrast" videz na obrazu ter pripomore, da se ličila lepše zlijejo s kožo. Lahko pa jo uporabiš tudi pred nanosom ličil. Prav tako je zelo priročna za v torbico.

TBS has brought out face mists for different effects: glow, energising, calming, smoothing or mattifying. Of course because my skin is more oily, I opted for a matt one. I thought it would smell like mint chewing gums or such but actually it has a more pleasant smell. The mist is nicely fine and it absorbs quickly. It gives me an instant refreshing effect. Plus when it dries down, after a minute my makeup looks a bit more matt. Yes, it won't completely mattify the makeup, however I feel like it take a bit of shine away and keeps your skin from getting oilier faster. It eliminates the powdery look on the skin and helps the makeup blend into the skin better. Also, you can use it before applying makeup. Plus it's so handy to keep in your handbag.

When I received this cream, I didn't think it would work for my skin. It is innovation for moisturizing a sensitive skin. Even though my skin is quite oily, it can also be a bit sensitive from time to time. I tried using it in the morning, after cleansing my skin. Sometimes I can get irritated, so the cream calmed down my skin. It is light weight and sinks into the skin nicely. I can use it before applying makeup and it won't affect the way makeup looks. Plus it doesn't have much scent, which is great.

Tole sicer ni novost, vendar sem ta izdelek preizkusila šele pred kratkim. Postal mi je tako všeč, da sem ga skoraj porabila. Tale odstranjevalec ličil je sicer namenjen za obraz, vendar sem ga uporabljala večinoma na očeh. Je zelo nežen in sploh ni dražil mojih oči. Čeprav gre za dvofazno tekočino, ne pusti mastnega občutka ter učinkovito odstrani ličila. Prav tako ima prijeten svež vonj. Na koži naj bi pustil sijoč občutek, vendar o tem ne morem kar veliko govoriti. Zelo mi je všeč, da je nežen do kože in ličila popolnoma odstrani - tudi maskaro.

Technically this one is not new launch, but it has been one of my favorites lately. I've loved it so much that it's almost empty. I use this makeup remover mainly on my eyes even though it's meant for the face. It's gentle enough and doesn't irritate my eyes. You have to shake it well before use because it is two-phase liquid. It's not greasy and removes makeup very effectively. Also I love the refreshing scent. On the skin it's supposed to give glow but I cannot talk about that. All in all I love how gentle but very effective it is at removing every single trace of mascara. It's a great one.

Živjo punce.
Bourjois preseneča z vedno več čudovitimi novostmi. V prejšnji objavi o favoritih, sem govorila o njihovih Satin Edition senčilih ter Rouge Velvet The Lipstick šminki, katere so me očarale. Tokrat pa so lansirali nekaj izdelkov za lica. Ter sem se odločila, da jim namenim kar posebno objavo.

Hi girls.

Bourjois has been on fire with many new exciting launches. In previous favorites I talked about their Satin Edition Eye Shadows & Rouge Velvet The Lipstick which are quite amazing. And now they brought out new cheek products. So I decided to dedicate them an entire review post.

Duo rdečila za lica se nahajajo v podobnih embalažah kot rdečila iz njihove klasične linije. Mene spominjajo na slaščice: Macarons ter so tako šik, s pariškim pridihom. Hkrati pa se v embalaži skrivata ogledalo in majhen čopič, katerega sicer jaz ne uporabljam.
Ideja teh rdečil je, da s temnejšim odtenkom oblikujete ter licem dodate dimenzijo medtem, ko svetlejši odtenek nanesete na sredino lic, da dodate barvo. Sicer sama raje s čopičem zavihtim po obeh polovicah ter dobim mešan odtenek in tega nanesem kot klasično rdečilo, saj želim enakomeren odtenek. Rdečila so lepo pigmentirana in na licih pustijo tudi malce sijaja. Prav tako trajajo ves dan. Na voljo pa so trije odtenki ter si želim preizkusit še breskvast odtenek (02 Romeo et peachette). Odtenek 01 Inseparoses je rožnat z malce mareličnim pridihom ter ni preveč roza. Odtenek 03 Crameli Melo pa je precej bronz, oranžkast in bi bil popoln na zagoreli koži.

The packaging is the same as for their blushes from a normal range. They call them: "Little Round Pot", which look cute and a bit old school - Parisienne. With a mirror and a little brush inside.

The blushes are a combination of two colors which are supposed to give your cheeks a little bit more dimension. You're supposed to apply darker color to shape the cheeks and then with lighter color applied to centre, to give them more flush. I don't like to play with that since I don't want my cheeks to be blotchy, so I just mix the two colors together and apply it. Blushes are nicely pigmented and give the cheeks a nice color and also leave some sheen. There are three shades available but I tested two. I wish I had a third, peachy shade (02 Romeo et peachette). Shade 01 Inseparoses is rosy with a bit of peachy undertone but not too pink. Shade 03 Crameli Melo is very bronzy and peachy, so it would look perfect on tanned skin.

In še en zanimiv izdelek, je osvetljevalec v čudovitem odtenku šampanjca, ki bo izgledal lepo na vseh tonih kože. Embalaža je enaka kot pri rdečilih: z ogledalom ter čopičem. Tekstura je mehka in fina tako, da se lepo nanaša. Sicer ni najbolj pigmentiran osvetljevalec, vendar se ga zlahka sloji. Sama vzamem manjši čopič ter ga nanesem na vrh ličnic.
Vsi izdelki (tudi rdečila), so precej močno odišavljeni po vijolicah (ni moj najljubši vonj), vendar ta vonj kar hitro izgine.

Cena izdelkov: okoli 10,35€

The highlighter/strober is a nice champagne shade which is suitable for a lot of skin tones. The actual powder is baked, so it's very fine. Again in the packaging you also get a mirror and a tiny brush. I is not the most pigmented highlighter but at the same time it's easily buildable. I just use a smaller brush and apply it onto the high points of the cheeks. 

Both products are scented quite heavily and smell like violets (not my favorite scent), however the scent disappears quickly.

Živjo punce.

Marec je res bil mesec novosti. Veliko znamk je lansiralo zanimive izdelke in tudi sama sem jih nekaj preizkusila. Prav tako sem odkrila nekatere izdelke, ki so novi v moji makeup torbici, vendar so na trgu že nekaj časa. Tako bom z Vami danes delila moje najljubše novosti.

Hi girls.

I think that march has been a month of many new launches. And I have been lucky to test quite a few of them but also I tried some products which have been on the market for a while and have discovered love for them.

Caudalie Make-up Removing Cleansing oil

Sicer nisem navdušena nad oljnimi odstranjevalci ličil, vendar sem se tega razveselila, ker je Caudalie ena izmed najljubših znamk za nego obraza. To čistilno olje ima sicer malce vonj po mandljih (kar mi ni najljubše), vendar se kar hitro razdiši, tako da mi je to vredu. V preteklosti sem preizkusila nekaj čistilnih olj, vendar mi niso bila všeč, ker nobeno ni dobro odstranilo maskare. Caudalie olje pa je čudovito, ker je učinkovito in prijetno. Ob primešanju vode se spremeni v mlečno teksturo, ki nežno odstrani vsa ličila. Ko ga spereš z obraza pusti za seboj mehak občutek brez mastnega filma. Imam pa malce težave, ker še vedno pride v oči in me malce draži. To olje mi je res všeč, ker deluje, je primerno za vse tipe kož in tudi sestavine so v večini naravne.

As you might know I'm not really a fan of oil or balm cleansers. However, when I received this one I was excited because Caudalie is one of my favorite skincare brands and I love trying their products. Sure it smells a bit like almonds (not my fave) but the scent disappears quickly so I'm not that bothered with it. I've tried just a few oil cleansers before which didn't impress me because they didn't remove eye makeup properly. Well, this one is very nice and effective. As with an oil cleansers, when you mix it with water, it turns into milky consistency. It feels very pleasant on the skin and is easy to work with. It removes all of my eye makeup, though I still have trouble with not getting it into my eyes. When washed off, it doesn't leave any residue but makes my skin feel soft. Plus the ingredients are mostly natural.

Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick - 13 Nohalicious

Končno sem testirala tudi te nove Bourjois šminke. Pred kratkim so k redni liniji dodali še "čokoladno" izdajo odtenkov. Odtenek Nohalicious je rjavkasto roza in izgleda čudovito. Spominja me na MAC Soar svinčnik za ustnice, vendar ni tako roza. Na meni tak odtenek izgleda precej temno, vendar še vedno zelo nosljivo. Tekstura pa je res zanimiva. Nanese se zelo kremasto ter počasi posuši v mat učinek. Čeprav so moje ustnice običajno zelo suhe, jih ta šminka ne izsuši in jo brez problema nosim tudi po 6 ur. Res je dolgo obstojna in ostane na ustnicah tudi, če se malo odtisne ob uživanju pijače ali hrane. Edino kar mi ni všeč, je to, da ima tak kemični vonj. Že za tekoče Rouge Velvet šminke sem slišala, da je vonj precej umeten. Vendar se ob nanosu na ustnice razdiši, tako da to ni moteče.

Finally I got the chance to try this lipstick. Bourjois just launched a chocolate edition of their new Rouge Velvet The Lipstick formula. And it is very lovely. The shade Nohalicious is pinky brown which I think is gorgeous. It definitely reminds me of Soar lip pencil but is not as pinky. On me it turns out to be quite a darker nude and is quite bold. The formula is very interesting. Lipstick applies on so creamy and effortless but then dries to a matt finish. It is very long lasting and even if I eat something and it sometimes transfers a bit, it still stays on. My lips are usually very dry, but this one doesn't dry them out and I can get away with wearing it for 6 hours and I won't use a lip balm. So to me, that is very good. The only thing I dislike about these lipsticks is the chemical scent. Before I heard complains about the scent of the liquid Velvet lipsticks and these don't have a pleasant smell either, however when applied on the lips gladly I cannot notice it.

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

Še ena zanimiva novost pri Bourjois, so ta tekoča senčila. Zdi se mi, da v drogeriji trenutno ni veliko tekočih senčil, pred leti pa so bila večinoma precej slabe kvalitete. Tako da je ta novost kar zanimiva. Tekstura je mokra in se najlažje nanaša s prsti. Hkrati pa se zelo hitro suši, tako da je treba vse hitro zabrisati. Tekstura in izgled me spominja na Lush-eva kremna senčila (vendar ta niso več v prodaji), čeprav so se tista lažje nanašala. Za Bourjois tekoča senčila si moreš vzeti malo časa za nanos in, ko se jih enkrat navadiš so super. Za popolno prekrivnost sta potrebna dva sloja, svetlejša senčila pa lahko naneseš tudi na vrh obstoječega makeupa. Obstojnost je odlična in senčila so tudi cenovno dokaj dostopna.

Another new launch from Bourjois are these liquid eyeshadows. You cannot find many liquid eyeshadows in the stores nowadays and back in the day they were usually quite shitty quality. So this launch is quite interesting. The formula is quite wet and is best applied with fingers. You have to work with it quickly as they dry very quickly. These definitely remind me of Lush Cream Eyeshadows which did not dry as was and were amazing to work with (I wore Sophisticated a lot) but they are being discontinued. Anyways, Bourjois eyeshadows are more affordable (around 11€) and very useful. You can use lighter shades as a topper.

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara

Hypnôse Volume-à-porter maskara mi je bila res čudovita in sem bila kar žalostna, ko mi jo je zmanjkalo. Tako sem komaj čakala, da preizkusim kakšno novo Hypnôse maskaro. V tej liniji je ogromno različnih, tako da je izbira precej težka. Maskara Drama pa ima zanimivo ukrivljeno krtačko, ki trepalnicam podari veliko volumna in tudi nekaj dolžine. Čeprav končni videz ni tako dramatičen. Všeč mi je tudi, da ostane nedotaknjena skoraj ves dan.

I was obsessed with Hypnôse Volume-à-porter mascara and was so sad when it run out. So I was excited to try a new one. Lancôme has so many different mascaras in the range Hypnôse, so it's quite hard to choose. The Drama mascara is not as dramatic as it says, however the effect is very nice. The brush is curvy and it adds a lot of volume to the lashes. Plus some length. Also it doesn't smudge on me and is very longlasting.

Labello Labellino - Pink Watermelon & Pomegranate

Meni so Labellino balzami precej všeč, čeprav se morda tu in tam katera ne bi strinjala. Vendar sta meni všeč tekstura in način nanašanja. Zato se razveselim novih vonjev. Ta je precej saden, kar je po mojem "okusu". Prav tako na ustnicah pusti nežno roza odtenek ter je ravno dovolj vlažilen.

I've been loving Labellino lip balms even though some may not be fans of them. But I do like the consistency and all. The new scent is nicely fruity (just up to my taste) and leaves a pretty rosy wash of color to the lips. It is moisturizing enough and fun to use.

Živjo punce.
Ne dolgo nazaj sem govorila o favoritih leta 2017. Vendar sem kar hitro v začetku leta odkrila že nekaj novih izdelkov, ki so mi všeč. Sicer z kozmetiko za nego obraza nisem eksperimentirala, saj moram porabit goro krem. Sem pa odkrila nekaj čudovitih makeup izdelkov.

Hi girls.

Even though I've recently posted a blog post about my 2017 favorites, in 2018 I already discovered some nice products. I haven't been experimenting much with skincare, because I'm trying to use up my products.

Vipera Avangarde Makeup Illuminator - 12


Highlighters are not on top in my makeup routine, as I mostly skip it. However I do try a few here and there but mostly love creamy ones which I can blend with my fingers. This one is quite liquidy, which applies so nicely and doesn't look patchy at all. I like the champagne/gold hue to it. Plus it looks very natural and not glittery. It really is nice one.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Pressed Face Powder

O Healthy Mix liniji govorijo prav vse punce, še posebej pa o tekoči podlagi. Žal je moja koža mešana/mastna večino leta, zato ta "vlažilna" linija ni najbolj primerna zame. Sem pa imela priložnost preizkusiti puder v kamnu, kateri se mi je priljubil. Embalaža je prenovljena, puder pa ima nežen vonj po sadju. Tekstura je žametna ter na obrazu ne izgleda "pudrasto". Mojo kožo matira za nekaj ur, vendar je ne izsuši. Sicer pa zame ne bi bil primeren za poletne dni, saj ne matira dovolj. Trenutno pa mi je ravno to všeč, saj je povrhnjica na moji koži bolj izsušena. Odtenek 02 je malce temnejši, vendar se lepo zlije z mojo poltjo.

I feel like everybody is talking about Healthy Mix range, especially foundation. However, I like my foundations to be really matt because of combination/oily skin. So I never considered buying anything from this range. Though I like trying different powders, so of course I immediately tested it when receiving it. This powder comes in a new packaging which is see-through. It smells fruity and feels very velvety to the touch. When applied on the skin it feels light-weight and not cakey at all which is very nice. It sets my makeup and mattifies for a few hours, though not the whole day. I like it for now that my skin is not that oily, however I probably won't use it for hot summer days when I really need to completely mattify my skin. Shade 02 is not the lightest, however it does blend into my skin.

Živjo punce.

To poletje je eno izmed najbolj vročih in vročina še kar ne pojenja. Pri meni se to kaže v lenosti kar se lahko opazi tudi pri ličenju, saj se verjetno vse zavedamo, da se ličila hitro stopijo z obraza. Zato sama posežem po bolj minimalističnemu videzu z nekaj triki, ki mi dajejo udoben občutek ter svež videz tudi. Seveda je pri tem nujna uporaba izdelkov z dolgo obstojnostjo.

Trenutno je moja koža v najboljšem stanju do zdaj. To pripisujem negi z dvojnim čiščenjem kože (odstranitev ličil z micelarno in nato globinsko čiščenje z gelom z uporabo ščetke). Prav tako pa ne nanašam preveč krem - ravno toliko kolikor moja koža potrebuje. V vročini je manj več, pa vendar si želim tudi malo poenotenosti kože.

Hi girls.

This year we have been blessed (or cursed?) with heat waves. And with that comes the laziness facing with the fact that your makeup will probably melt off right away. Well, it's true and I do not understand the girls who still put on a whole cake face in this heat. Instead, I'd like to talk about how I do my makeup for very hot weather. Keeping it minimal is the key and using the right products which don't smear as fast. At the moment my skin is in the best condition it's ever been and the reason is probably behind double cleansing (micelar water + face wash using face brush which very deeply cleanses my skin) and not putting too much product on my face, not even many creams. So I don't need a lot of coverage, but still I want my skin to look even despite of my redness and freckles.

To brighten up and freshen the look, I usually use some kind of lip product. I like my lipsticks to be creamy and in bright orangey shades. That's why the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in the shade: In love with ginger (660) is perfect for me. The texture is not drying, however it still wears nicely. To prolong the wear, I apply one layer, then pat it with handkerchief and apply another one.

And to finish off, a setting spray is a must in the summer. I tried the Avon Mark Setting spray. It fixes makeup and eliminates the powdery look. You can also use it to prep the skin for makeup. I do think it makes my makeup a bit more long lasting, however sometimes it hardens up my hair when I'm not careful with spraying. It is a good cheap alternative, however it probably won't replace my UD All Nighter spray.

Spomnim se še časov, ko so se mi v osnovni šoli začeli pojavljati prvi mozoljčki in takoj sem posegla po korektorju v stiku. Takrat še ni bilo tako velike izbire, tekoči korektorji pa so se uporabljali redkeje. Ti kremni stiki so običajno bili preveč kremasti in so se kar hitro razmazali ter se niso lepo zabrisali. Seveda se z leti vse spreminja in tako me je presenetil novi Bourjois korektor z odlično teksturo. Ta je sprva kremasta vendar se ob nanosu spremeni v bolj pudrast finiš, pri čemer izgleda naravno ter se enostavno zabriše. Uporabljam ga tako pod očmi kot na vseh nepravilnostih. Odtenek 01 pa se lepo zlije z mojo poltjo. Kljub temu, da je končen videz naraven oz. žameten, pa kože ne izsuši ter se ne vseda v moje smejalne gubice pod očmi.

Sama ga nanesem kar neposredno iz embalaže ter zabrišem z navlaženo majhno gobico.

Na voljo so 3 odtenki: 01 Ivory, 02 Beige, 03 Golden Beige

This product reminds me of Primary school and my first pimples in puberty. Back then there weren't many concealers on the market, plus the liquid ones were rarely used. So I had one of those stick concealers to cover imperfections, however it was too creamy.
Of course over the years makeup has improved which is shown in this Bourjois concealer as it has a great texture. First of it is creamy and easy to use however it blends into more of a powdery, velvet finish and I can definitely sense the silicon base. I can use it under my eyes and on any imperfections. Coverage may not be the highest but it looks natural and covers what I want. The shade 01 is perfect for my porcelain skin. Doesn't feel drying and it doesn't settle into my smile lines.
I can use it with a wet blending sponge.
