Fresh & Clean Makeup-Remover Wipes (normal skin) 

I like these. They remove my makeup well & they smell nice. Also the packaging is nice with that plastic top (+ I've seen these on sale a lot !) 

Repurchase: probably

CadeaVera Anti-Spot Cleansing wipes (Young) 

The scent is really fresh and nice. They don't do the best job at removing my makeup but I wash my face anyways so sometimes I just want something to remove most of my makeup (at least on my face,maybe not on my eyes) and at that time these are very handy. 

Repurchase: probably

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads 

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're quite thin, but they totally work and I would say they're nice ! 

Repurchase: yes (always)

Shiseido Ultimune Serum 

I really like this serum. It is expensive as hell, however the texture is amazing. It is really light-weight, hydrates your skin and leaves it a bit softer and nicer. 

Purchase: I do really want to buy it !

Garnier Mineral Protection anti-perspirant 
While I really like Rexona deodorant, I found that this one works on me as greatly as well. This one doesn't leave any white marks and protects me even when I'm running around and being hot. Still I might switch to Rexona in summer months, however I recommend both.
Repurchase: maybe

To start of: sunglasses above are from H&M and I love them. I put them in a case from Pupa Milano because it's pretty and sturdy. And then of course I'm never leaving a house without keys which have a donut keychain on them.

Because I cannot stand having dry lips, I always have a lip balm (Labello - Repair & Care) & nude/moisturising lipstick (Essence - LE) with me to touch up. Also you gotta have some chewing gum. You can also call me handkerchief girl. If anyone needs it, I'm always there. It seems like not a lot of people carry these around but I like having them if anything happens and I just need one.

Then I also have this "pet hair" roller because my cat is mainly white and I like wearing black clothes, so I need one of these. And lastly on this picture: my wallet. It's a bit older now, but I cannot find a perfect sized wallet like this one anymore. It's from Accesorize and it's just perfect. Not too big and not too small. Plus it's pretty.

Hi girls !

My box was full of empty cosmetics, so here is another empties post ! I think I need to start purging my collection again because I'm not satified with how much I use up :)

Dove Invisible Dry Antiperspirant

Up untill this year I haven't tried anything from Dove. I don't know why because most products have such good reviews online. So, this deodorant smells really fresh and feminine. It's great at protecting me from bad smells and it lasts up whole day. It's supposed to be invisible, however if you spray too closely it can look a bit white.

Repurchase: already have

Garnier Neo Soft Flow Antiperspirant - Floral Touch

I was so happy when I got a package full of these new Garnier Neo deodorants. I actually really like them, however I got a problem with the packaging. Somehow I used this one only a few times and then all of a sudden it was completely empty. Just like the spray dissapeared and I've heard it happened to many girls. I'm using another one at the moment and that one is completely fine. I'm just not willing to risk that in the future. Other than that, it is a really nice deodorant and this scent was one of my faves. It lasts whole day and the actual spray is really gentle on the skin.

Repurchase: nope

Rexona Anti-perspirant - Invisible Aqua

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a looong time ! Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Anti-perspirant Invisible black + white

Hi girls.

From myself I know, having oily skin can be really annoying. That's why through the years I found some skincare and makeup that keep that shine at bay (well as much as they can). I know each skin might react different, however I hope you'll find some products in this post that you haven't tried before. I use these makeup items on daily basis (only sometimes I skip L'oreal primer). So if you've ever wondered what's on my face: those are these items.

Živjo punce !
Tokrat bom govorila o izdelkih za "nadležno", mastno kožo. Ja, to je moj tip kože in vedno iščem kaj boljšega, kar bi oljem preprečilo, da se kopičijo na koži. Seveda jih ne moreš zatreti, jih pa lahko uravnavaš ter prekriješ z različnimi izdelki. To sama poskušam z naslednjimi izdelki, katere uporabljam skoraj vsak dan (včasih preskočim L'orealov primer). Torej, če vas je kdaj zanimalo kaj je na mojem obrazu, so ti izdelki.

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

As it goes for my skincare, obviously I don't like to mattify my skin at night. Nor do I want to use harsh drying toners or face washes. So, this is the most important product in my morning skincare routine. This is a hydrating cream which absorbs into the skin quickly and is balancing the sebum, so you don't get oily quickly. As for anti-imperfections aspect, I can't say that it makes any difference on my skin. I'd say Total Mat version (which I'm not sure if it's still available) works the best, however this one is nice too, especially (was) for colder days. I've tried many mattifying creams but this one is the best for me.

Skozi leta sem spoznala, da moji koži ne ustrezajo agresivni čistilni geli ter matirajoči toniki za obraz, ker ji lahko izsušijo povrhnjico. Še vedno kožo dobro očistim z izdelki za normalno kožo, vendar zjutraj vedno sledi najbolj pomemben korak v moji negi: matiranje obraza z Normaderm kremo, katera pa hkrati deluje lahkotno vlažilno. Izmed vseh krem za matiranje katere sem preizkusila, sem se vedno vrnila k tej. Sicer se po 3 urah začnem precej svetit, ampak nobena krema ne deluje na mojem obrazu tako dobro kot tale. Nisem pa prepričana, če še vedno obstaja Total Mat različica (ocena tukaj), katera mi je bila še malce boljša od te ! Torej stanovanja ne zapustim brez te kreme na obrazu, tudi kadar imam "no makeup" dan.

L'oreal Infallible Mattifying Primer

This was my recent purchase and ever since I got it, I've been hooked on it. Even though I use a mattifying cream, sometimes I wait for few minutes so that it absorbs nicely and my skin still needs a bit more mattifying effect. The texture is liquidy but when blended it feels like a velvet. It works nicely, plus it makes your makeup glide on easily.  Though I can't say that it prolongs the wear of foundation. As much as I'd like to also try foundation from this line, you can't get the lightest (Porcelain) shade in my country. So, I'll leave it on my wishlist for now.

Naslednji izdelek sem nakupila nedavno nazaj (nekje 3 tedne) in me je kar kmalu prepričal. Čeprav uporabljam matirno-vlažilno nego,  pustim da se krema vpije, nato pa vidim, če potrebujem še malce matiranja ne določenih predelih. Ta izdelek ni le dober za matiranje temveč je super podlaga za ličila, saj se puder nato lažje nanese na kožo, ko je ta izravnana. Tekstura primerja je tekoča, bazirana na silikonu, ki pusti žameten občutek na koži. Ne morem pa reči, da mi podaljša obstojnost tekočega pudra Iz te linije bi zelo rada preizkusila tudi tekočo podlago, vendar je pri nas ni na voljo najsvetlejšega (Porcelain) odtenka. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation For Combo/Oily Skin

Believe it or not, I've been using this foundation for almost 6 years. Yes, it's that good ! While some hate that it lacks a pump, I really got used to it (and hurray, they invented a pump not long ago! - but it's not available in Slovenia yet). So, what's so great about it ? It has an amazing coverage which is great for those days when you want to cover up everything (still you can sheer it out for everyday use). But mostly i love the staying power on oily areas. It lasts all day long. The effect is quite matt but it keeps the shine away for a few hours. I get shiny but not oily after 4 hours, so it doesn't melt off which is most important ! You can kind of feel it on your face after a few hours but it's better than feeling oily and gross. It can clog your pores a bit, so I try to clean my skin as much as I can and let it breathe a few days per week.

Ta tekoči puder je moj najljubši. Uporabljam ga že nekje 6 let, uf. Vem, da ga nekateri ne marajo, ker nima pumpice ter ga moreš preprosto zlit ven, ampak meni je to čist vseeno (so pa pudru dodali pumpico, vendar ne vem kdaj bo na voljo pri nas !). Kar mi je najbolj všeč pri tem pudru je kot prvo: prekrivnost, ki je srednja do popolna, seveda pa ga lahko za vsakodnevno uporabo zabrišeš na rahlo. Kot drugo je: obstojnost, ki traja celoten dan. Drugi pudri z mene dobesedno stečejo, vendar ta ostane na koži, čeprav si čez dan tu in tam tudi "napudram" obraz ter odstranim olja. Učinek je precej matirajoč in omogoča, da olja ne pridejo prehitro na vrh kože. Torej se ne svetim tako hitro. Seveda se po nekaj urah občuti na obrazu, vendar imam raje to, kot pa da občutim vsa olja na koži, ko se počutim že ogabno. Sicer je možno, da pore malce zamaši, ker je tekstura precej gosta in malo težka, zato si po celodnevnem nošenju dobro globinsko očistim kožo ter ji pustim dihat vsaj 2 dni na teden. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

This has to be the cheapest pressed powder I owned. Prices vary from 3-5€. The packaging is a bit cheap, but if you're careful with it, it should last you a long time. The powder is not too powdery, so it there's almost no fall out. On the skin it is not heavy and has a nice mattifying effect. It just looks nice on the skin. I'm sure there are quite a few better products out there, but not for this price. With a combination of Revlon Colorstay foundation, my makeup looks flawless even after 4 hours. I get a bit shiny but I powder my face after around 6-7 hours.

Ta izdelek je pa res tako poceni. Gre za matirajoč, dolgo obstojen puder v kamnu, katerega uporabljam za zaključek makeupa oz. fiksiranje + matiranje. Cena je nekje od 3-5€, odvisno od spletne trgovine. Embalaža je res bolj poceni in plastična, vendar sem se naučila, da skrbim zanjo, da se puder ne zlomi prehitro. Tekstura pudra je fina, ne preveč pudrasta in prav tako se ne drobi naokoli. Na koži pa ustvari matirajoč učinek brez težkega občutka. Meni je všeč obstojnost ter videz na moji koži. Seveda ni najboljši puder v kamnu, vendar je boljši od drugih sploh v tem cenovnem rangu. S kombinacijo Revlon tekočega pudra je makeup na obrazu po 4 urah še vedno na svojem mestu, le malce se svetim. "Napudrat" se morem mogoče po 6-7ih urah, ko so olja že na vrhu.

CadeaVera Anti-Shine Mattifying (Blotting) papers

I'm sure not a lot of girls use these. They can be funny when using in public (in bathrooms) but I don't care. First of all, when you get oily, you can't just blot your face with a pressed powder all the time. The oils will not absorb or get anywhere else other than stay on your face covered with the powder. So that's when these papers come in handy: you press one onto the oily area and push on it with fingers. After that you can see the oils on the paper and just throw it away. I use 2-3 on the whole face and then use a bit of powder. They are really great when you've been out for a whole day and just want to freshen up. Plus they're cheap. I buy mine from Müller (their brand - around 2 € / 50 papers) + Essence and other companies make these.

Zadnji korak so papirčki za matiranje oz. vpijanje olj s kože. Verjetno jih kar nekaj punc ne pozna, ampak so tako zelo priročni za čez dan. Na javnem wcju sem seveda velikokrat doživela smešne poglede ob uporabi teh papirčkov, ampak mi je čisto vseeno. Najprej naj omenim, da ko se olja naberejo čez dan na koži, jih ne moreš kar prekrit s pudrom v kamnu/prahu, ker jih seveda prekriješ, na gobici ali čopiču pa se ta olja nabirajo. Tako pridejo v upoštev ti papirčki. Preprosto vzameš enega in ga pritisneš na predel kjer je koža sijoča ter mastna in takoj absorbira olja s kože. Po potrebi uporabiš več papirčkov, jaz pa jih potrebujem nekje 2-3 za T-cono. Šele nato včasih uporabim puder v kamnu, ki bo uravnal izločanje olj. Izredno jih priporočam, ker je uporaba enostavna in res delujejo. Dodaten plus je cena, saj svoje kupujem v drogeriji Müller (okoli 2€ za 50 papirjev), prav tako pa jih izdelujejo tudi znamke kot so Essence in podobno.

All in all, I really enjoy using these products, however I need to warn you that ofcourse in the summer my makeup melts off easier, when I sweat.

To so izdelki, ki jih sama obožujem na dnevni ravni, vendar vas morem opozoriti, da se mi poleti seveda ličila vseeno hitreje stopijo z obraza, saj je tudi meni vroče in se potim ob groznih temperaturah.

Hi girls.

Don't judge, I spend some money this month on products that I really wanted (DM also had some nice coupons). Plus, Essence came out with a beautiful collection for spring, so I had to pick up many makeup items. Next month I'm definitely going to try to limit my purchases. I totally forgot to take pictures of just a few bits, so I'll include them in next month's haul. Also this month I decided to skip the PR products because you'll see them mostly on my blog or instagram anyways.

Catrice All Matt plus Foundation - 010 Light Beige

This one has been on my wishlist for a long time. I didn't purchase it simply because I had a few backups of my Revlon Colorstay and some other foundations to use up. I hope it's going to be great.

L'oreal Infallible Mattifying base

This one is supposed to lock in shine without any discomfort. Plus the only ingredients are: CYCLOPENTASILOXANE and DIMETHICONECROSSPOLYMER. So it's a simple silicone based primer. I'd say it's not a miracle worker and nothing can stop oils from bursting through foundation onto the skin, however I really like the velvety feeling and how it prepares the skin for application of foundation.

Essence Brush Cleansing Spray

A very handy product. Usually I wash my brushes with a solid soap, but in between washes I always needed something to give them a quick wash, so I thought this one would be great. Haven't tried it yet, though.

Balea Bath Stick (kokos/coconut)

This one smelled nice so why not, it was only 0,99€. And yes, I'm kinda obsessed with bath products at the moment.

Deborah Radiance Creator Highlighting Concealer - 02 medium

I already have a fair one, but because it's so light (great for highlighting), I also wanted a darker shade. It definitely isn't a corrector, so you need something underneath your eyes which would counteract any blueness or such, however it is a really nice light-weight concealer which illuminates slightly. Perfect for spring and summer.

Ebelin Make up + concealer brush

This one is probably a bit of a fail purchase. You definitely can't apply foundation with it, which initially I thought I'd do - too stiff and you can't circle with it. However, it's great for concealer. I like buffing my concealer in with this brush.

Essence TE Wake Up Spring !: Lip Balm & Lipstick Pen (01 Hello Sunshine!)

I bought lip balm just because it smells really nice ! The lipstick pen is a really nice natural, peachy shade - not too orangey or anything ! I don't own any like this one.

Batiste Dry Shampoo (for blonde hair)

CadeaVera Anti-bacterial face wipes

Lush: Bunch of Carrots - Reusable bubble bar & Ladybird bubble bar

And the best purchase of this month goes again to Lush. I just loveeeee how these two smell !

I featured Lady Bug in my Mother's day Beauty Gift Guide.
