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

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





Talisman (is actually ok), Power (so much fall out), Enchanted (also quite ok), Wicked (is dark in the pan, but performs badly when applied)

Odtenki paletke so v vijoličnih in roza ženstvenih tonih. Najbolj mi je v oko padel sredinski lila odtenek z veliko bleščicami, ampak me je najbolj razočaral. Pravzaprav se senčilo sploh ne da nanesti, saj je zelo trdo in na čopič ali prst ujamem samo nekaj bleščic. Poizkusila sem tudi z mokrim čopičem, ampak je res slaba senčka. Morala bi biti bolj mehka in kremasta, da bi se odtenek lepo prenesel na oči. Matt odtenki so vredu, ampak tudi niso najboljše pigmentirani. 

Na voljo je še podobna paleta: Minnie, katera pa ima bolj rdečkaste tone in izgleda res zanimivo. Žal me je pigmentacija te paletke malce razočarala. Sem preizkusila že kakšno res boljšo od Catrice.

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

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

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

Živjo punce.

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

Hi girls.

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

Catrice Poreless Perfection Foundation 010 Cool Nude 

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

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

Catrice Instant Awake Concealer 005 Neutral Light 

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

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

Catrice Hemp & Mint Glow Lip Balm 010 High On Life

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

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

Živjo punce.

Ker se bliža božič, v drogerije prihajajo tudi praznični izdelki. Znamka Catrice decembra lansira bleščečo linijo izdelkov za še več glamurja v Decembru. Imela sem priložnost preizkusiti dva izdelka, zato berite naprej za moje mnenje...

Hi girls.

December is here and brands are launching their holiday collections. So, Catrice is launching their glittery collection with many shiny and glittery products, perfect for this season. I got to try two of the products, so keep on reading for my opinion on them...

Dazzle Metal Palette - 01 Dazzle On The Dancefloor

Paletka vsebuje osem senčil za veke in dva osvetljevalca, ki ju prav tako lahko uporabiš kot senčke. Odtenki so različni: bež, rjavi, bordo rdeč ter temno siv, tako da z njimi zlahka ustvariš celoten makeup na očeh. Vsebuje tudi matt rjavo senčko, ki je super za prehode, druge pa so večinoma bleščičaste ali vsaj sijoče. Senčila so dobro pigmentirana, kremasta in se zlahka zabrišejo. Sicer pa na mojih bolj mastnih vekah niso tako obstojna. Nato sta v paleti še dva čudovita osvetljevalca. Prvi ima rozast podton in perlast učinek, vendar je precej bleščičast. Drugi, na desni strani palete pa je čudovite barve šampanjca in lepo sijoč ter ni bleščeč. Zelo lepo se zabriše in izgleda čudovito na koži. tega zadnje uporabljam vsak dan odkar sem prejela paletko. Prav tako je embalaža res prelepa, čeprav ima žameten efekt na vrhu, kar bi se kar hitro umazalo. Paletka mi je všeč, ker vsebuje lepe odtenke in bi jo kupila verjetno že samo zaradi osvetljevalcev.

MPC: 7,39€

The palette has eight eyeshadows and two highlighters (can also be used as eyeshadows). You get some brown, burgundy and champagne shades which can make a nice makeup look. There's also a semi matt brown (great for transitions). But other shades are either shimmery or glittery. They're nicely pigmented, creamy and blend easily. All though they don't last whole day on me because my eyelids are quite oily. First highlighter is in a pinky, iridescent shade which has quite some glitter in it and is very sparkly. The one on the right is a nice champagne one which is nicely shiny but not glittery. I use this one all the time lately because it's just a perfect shade of highlight and is very pigmented. Also the packaging looks so pretty, even though the velvet top could get dirty easily. I love the palette because the shades are so gorgeous and I would buy it just for the highlighter.

Črtalo je na voljo v treh bleščečih odtenkih. Vijoličen ima duo-krom bleščice, ki imajo modro-vijola učinek. Po nanosu izgleda odtenek precej temen (skoraj črn) ter se bleščice in vijola sijaj opazita pod lučjo. Čopič je precej trd ter je z njim kar težko upravljati, še posebej pa dobro narisati podaljšano ali tanko črto. Sicer pa bo mogoče vseeno komu ustrezal. Jaz ga bom uporabljala za posebne priložnosti ali pa na vrh kakšnega priljubljenega črtala za malo sijaja. Pa vendar je zelo dobro obstojen in se ne razmaže (sama imam precej mastne veke).

MPC: 3,99€

Eyeliner comes in three shades. The lilac one is purple toned but seems to be duochrome with a blue effect. On the eyes it looks quite dark and the lilac effect with lots of glitter is visible only under bright lights. The brush is stiff so it's quite hard to make a wing. If you like this kind of liners, that's great but I will only use it if I really want it for the shade. Or maybe just use it on top of any other liners. But at least it has a long staying power (even on my oily eyelids).
