Živjo punce !

Tale objava bo malce drugačna. Že dalj časa sem imela v mislih, da bi ustvarila makeup izgled s samo nekaj izdelki. Za svež in lep videz včasih ni potrebno sto izdelkov in ko se ti mudi, tudi nimaš časa uporabiti 10 ali več produktov za ličenje. Tako sem preizkusila novosti Deborah Milano, ki jih boste videle na mojem obrazu.

Hi girls !

I thought I'd do a bit different post for today, featuring me doing my makeup. So for this post I tried some novelties from Deborah with which I created easy, quick makeup look for when you are in a hurry or just don't want to use a hundred products. Being restricted on 5 products only, forces you to be creative. So it's refreshing to do this post.

Najprej sem za podlago uporabila tekoči puder. Tekstura le tega je malce gosta vendar se ob rahlem nanosu zelo lepo zlije s kožo in je lahkoten. Sama priporočam samo 1 iztisk na pumpico saj je srednje do zelo prekriven in se ob gostejšem nanosu hitro opazi na obrazu ali pa izgleda preveč pudrasto, kar mi ni lepo. Drugače pa pusti lep naraven finiš. Ker pa malce oksidira na meni, ga posvetlim s TBS kapljicami. Hialuronska kislina zagotovi vlaženje kože čez dan brez dodatnega sijaja ter z SPF 20 zaščiti kožo pred sončnimi žarki.

Firstly of course I started with a foundation. This is a newer addition. It's got thicker texture so I recommend using only one pump. With that, you can get quite a lot of coverage while feeling lightweight on the skin and leaving a nice natural finish. Though with layering it can be too heavy and look powdery. Because it tends to oxidise on me, I add some of the TBS drops to lighten it up. This foundation also contains hyaluronic acid to moisturize and SPF20 to protect skin from sun.

Ta kremni izdelek je 2 v 1: za konturo in osvetljevanje. Ker pa imam temnejši, oz. bolj topel odtenek, sem ga uporabila za bronzer; torej, da dodam obrazu malce topline, hkrati pa sam izgled deluje naravno. Na obraz sem narisala črte ter jih s krožnimi gibi s čopičem zabrisala. Sledila sem tudi črki "E" ter ostanek na čopiču zabrisala še na vrh čela. Svetlega dela nisem uporabila. Ker je produkt kremen, izgleda lepo naravno in brez pretiravanja.

Next up is warming up the face. This creamy product is 2 in 1 as one end is for contouring and one for highlighting (actually it lightens the areas, doesn't add any shine). Because the shade I used was dark and warm toned, I used it as a bronzer. I added some lines to my face and blended it with a brush, following letter "E". It blends easily and the finish it natural but you can still see the difference when applying it.

Ne smem pa pozabiti na obrvi, saj le te obrazu dodajo dodatno definicijo. Hkrati pa, ker so moje obrvi zelo svetle, jih poudarim, da ne izgledam kot da sem brez njih. Pri čemer sem uporabila ta svinčnik za risanje obrvi. Ima širšo, daljšo konico, zato je risanje enostavnejše in hitrejše. Hkrati ima na drugi strani krtačko s katerimi počešem obrvi, da so lepo urejene, ter malce zabrišem kar sem narisala, za bolj naraven izgled. Odtenek 01 pa je kar super za blondinke.

Let's not forget brows. They add another dimension to the face. And because my eyebrow hairs are quite blonde, I like defining them to stand out a bit. This Deborah eyebrow pencil is just perfect for that. Because the actual pencil is wider, it makes the strokes easier and I'm done within a minute. Plus on the other end you get a spoolie, so I can brush through and blend everything together. Finished result is great and shade 01 suits me as well.

Piko na I seveda doda šminka saj preusmeri pozornost iz celotnega obraza na ustnice. Pri čemer pink odtenek doda nekaj svežine ter izgled ni več tako dolgočasen. Ta mat šminka je zelo lahka in prijetna za nošenje ter ne izsuši ustnic preveč. Seveda pa priporočam pred nanosom šminke, da uporabiš še balzam za ustnice. Tako se šminka kasneje lažje odstrani in poskrbi za navlaženost ustnic. Je precej dolgoobstojna in zbledi šele ob uživanju mastne hrane.

And to add some color to my face, I finished off the look with a matt liquid lip. It transforms the natural, and a bit boring makeup to very fresh one. Plus it looks like you actually done something for yourself. The texture is light weight and is very easy to apply, even though I suck at applying liquid lipsticks. Before putting it on, I recommend using a lip balm because it does the trick with every liquid lipstick - prevents from drying the lips and makes removing later very easy. Actual lipstick is long lasting and will fade with eating greasy food.

Hi girls !
Today I wanted to share a few thoughts on makeup bits I've been trying lately and show them on my face as well. There have been so many new launches and these are not all that I've tested through but they seem the best option for a bronzed/coral makeup look.

---

L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base
I always start with a mattifying/hydrating cream, however then I mostly use a primer like this one. It's based on silicone so it makes a smooth, even complexion, great for applying makeup. Also it helps a bit with my oily skin.

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation - 010 Light Beige
There's been quite a lot of talk about this product amongst Slovenian beauty bloggers, so I had to try it. Also because it promises light weight texture and matt effect which I totally need on my oily skin. I'd say that it is not too matt and not too shiny. On my skin it lasts for a few hours without moving around and also it doesn't feel heavy at all. I do need to powder my skin as well and I don't feel like it could last up to 24h as it claims. The only thing I dislike about it is the packaging which has a pump to distribute the foundation, however the hole on the top is so small so you could make a lot of mess. Also I can't believe that the lightest shade almost matches my porcelain complexion.

Deborah Radiance Creator Highlighting Concealer - 02 medium
I've talked about this product before here. The coverage is not the best, however I like how easy it applies and blends. Shade 02 medium is perfect. It still brightens the area while being a bit peachy to neutralise purple undertone.

Ebelin Makeup Sponge
Such a great discovery ! I've shown you this sponge in my latest haul (here). So now I can tell you more about it. It's a really soft sponge, which I feel like is hard to find in the drugstore. While most people use it to apply foundation, I use it to blend my foundation at the end and make it look even or flawless. I definitely recommend it. Plus it looks cute/colorful.

Catrice Eyebrow Filler 
This is the only product I haven't changed in two years. So if you have any recommendations for a similar product, leave them below. If you're lazy with your brows, you definitely need it. It gives color to your brows with just a few swipes of a brush and then they look put together and really nice. You can read more about it here.

Freedom Makeup Pro Strobe palette
I've been using this contouring/strobing palette for some months now and it's really nice. Some shades are quite cool and look very natural on the skin. Also sometimes I like to highlight. For the price, I think it's a nice palette. You also get a contouring brush with it which is really useful and makes contouring easier ! You can get it on licila.si - here.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Eden
My favourite eye shadow primer when I need a really long lasting eye shadow. I won't say much but it does the job the best and has a bit of coverage which my veiny eyelids do need. Read a review here.

L'Oreal Miss Hippie mascara
Sometimes I just can't believe how many mascaras companies make. Though L'oreal makes one of my favorite ones. This one leaves your eyelashes with a quite natural, unruly look. If you really like to separate your lashes then this one might not be for you. However, it gives my lashes a nice amount of volume and lenghtens as well.

---

Bourjois Souffle de Velvet 01 Orangelique
Another novelty from Bourjois. There's been such a hype around Velvet Matt lipsticks, which I never tried and then these came out. The texture is thin, easy wearing and comfortable on the lips. It's more of a sheer colour but buildable. The finish is matt but it doesn't dry out my lips too much. Though the smell is so artificial - gladly it disappears quickly.

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
This year I struggled with makeup melting off of my face. I just have oily skin so I can't do much other than prime and set well. So I finally splurged on this spray to finish off my makeup. It doesn't leave you matt or keep oils away completely, however it definitely makes your makeup long lasting. Makeup can still wear off, however very evenly and there aren't any cracks in foundation. Also the spray is really fine and so easy to use.

Hello girls !

Of course February flew away so fast and then I had so many posts waiting at the end of the month, so I decided to extend these favorite into March. Well we're at the end of April and finally I'm posting this. Crazy, I know. However I had more time to test out these products that I've been enjoying using.

Živjo punce !
Po treh mesecih končno spet o objava o trenutno najljubših izdelkih. Ne morem verjet, da sem preskočila tako februar kot marec. Kakorkoli, to so izdelki, katere sem z veseljem uporabljala te 3 mesece in jih bom seveda imela rada še naprej.





Max Factor - Velvet Volume False Lash Effect mascara
Finally I got back to this mascara, after using up two of my mascaras from a stash of overload of mascaras. I just love the spiky brush (though be careful with it) which separates every lash. It gives just enough volume and length. It's great for every day use, however if I wanted a dramatic effect I'd use something else. Read a review here.

Končno sem porabila dve starejši maskari in sem se nato vrnila k tej. Res ima čudovito krtačko, katera loči vsako posamezno trepalnico ter podari dovolj volumna in dolžine. Lahko bi bila bolj volumenska, ampak me ne moti, ker je uporaba res enostavna. Ščetine so zelo špičaste tako, da lahko malo dražijo oko - odvisno kako nanašate maskaro. Si pa želim preizkusit še kakšno Max Factorjevo maskaro. Oceno ter več slik si lahko pogledate tukaj.


Max Factor Creme Puff Blush - Lavish Mauve
One of my favorite products from 2015 found it's way into favorites again. It was just perfect shade for cold days, when I needed some color on my face. It's a natural, not too pink shade. Also texture is just very nice and it blends easily. Review here.

To rdečilo se je znašlo tudi v mojih favoritih leta 2015. Naravnost čudovito je. In kot vidite po fotografiji, tudi ni več zaobljeno, ker ga precej rada uporabljam. Popoln, naraven odtenek, ki ni preveč roza, tekstura pa je čudovita, saj se enostavno zabriše na ličkih. Oceno najdeš tukaj.


Lush - Buffy Body Butter
One of my favorite Lush products which I probably haven't featured yet. I bought it two years ago and after using it up, it found its way again into my shower. Lately I've been enjoying it, so it definitely deserves a mention. It's a body butter which has ground rice and ground almonds in it, so it exfoliates the skin. Besides that it contains Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter and Fair Trade Shea Butter which leave your skin soft and moisturized, so you don't need any lotion after your get out of the shower. It's great for those difficult areas: butt and the back of thighs because it's speeds up the circulation and might help with cellulite. The scent is quite neutral with a bit of lavender and lemon oil, however I just love how my skin feels afterwards.

O tem izdelku še nisem povedala kaj veliko in ker sem ga spet začela uporabljat sem se odločila, da ga vključim tudi v to objavo. To je v bistvu maslena ploščica. Medtem, ko si z njo pod tušem naredite fajni piling s pomočjo mletega riža in mandljev, hkrati tudi vlaži kožo. V bistvu karitejevo ter kakavovo maslo ustvarita tak prijeten sloj na koži, kakor da bi se namazali z losjonom. Včasih sem glede losjonov za telo precej lena in mi je takšna zadeva super. Vonj je zelo nežen, obožujem pa mehak občutek na koži. Priporočam tudi za uporabo na "težavnih" predelih: npr. na riti in zadnji strani stegen, da spodbudite cirkulacijo in mogoče tudi pomaga proti celulitu. Imate pa tudi na voljo npr. King of Skin, ki pa ne vsebuje delcev oz. pilinga.

Alessandro Veggie Carrot & Orange Nail Cream
Unfortunately these little nail cuticle creams are limited edition, however Alessandro often makes these in different scents. It's a nice, light cream which is not greasy at all, however nicely hydrating. Also the smell is really fresh, just up my alley.

Žal je bila ta kremica za obnohtno kožo limitirane izdaje, vendar pogosto izdajajo različne vonje. Meni je predvsem všeč, da ni preveč mastna temveč je prijetno lahka ampak se še vedno občuti vlažilno. Vonj korenček - pomaranča pa je zelo svež - njami.

Avon Cocoa Butter Hand Cream
Though I dislike the lip butter from this line, I really like this hand cream. It's nicely moisturizing, however not too greasy, so it sinks into the skin quite quickly. It doesn't leave any layer on the skin, so it moisturized the skin from within. Also the smell is yummy but not to sweet.

Čeprav sem v eni izmed prejšnjih objav omenila, da mi iz te linije res ni všeč maslo za ustnice, pa mi je v nasprotju ta krema za roke zelo všeč. Lepo se vpije v kožo in nahrani kožo na rokah brez mastnega občutka. Tekstura ni preveč lahka in tudi ne preveč gosta. Vonj pa je odličen, sladek vendar ne preveč.

Eucerin Lip Repair Lip Balm

In the past I didn't have any good experiences with lip balms in a liquid form, however this one really surprised me. The texture is not too liquidy and it creates a nice protective layer on the lips, which dries a bit and doesn't slide off. It feels moisturizing but not to heavy. Because it contains vitamin E+C, bisabolol and dexpanthenol, it protects and calm the lips but also it's repairing. There is no added fragrance, which is really nice.

Pogosto s takšnimi tekočimi balzami za ustnice nimam pozitivnih izkušenj, vendar je ta drugačen. Moje ustnice zaščiti, na njih ustvari zaščitni sloj, ki pa ni prav tekoč, da bi kar izginil z ustnic. Predvsem pa mi lepo nahrani ustnice brez mastnega občutka. Prav tako naj bi ustnice pomirjal in imam občutek, da jih tudi lepo obnavlja za kar gre zahvala sestavinam. Vsebuje vitamin E+C, bisabolol and dexpanthenol, vendar je brez dodanih dišav, kar mi je všeč. 

Garnier Neo Dry Mist antiperspirant - Fresh Blossom

One of the new weirdest looking deodorant out there, which surprisingly works amazing on me. I especially love this Fresh Blossom scent which is fresh and a bit floral but not too much. So the circle design of the actual spray is made that way to ensure that the flow is soft and gentle to the sensitive skin. It's a bit tricky to use at first but you get used to it. It's mineral based but with no alcohol. Also it contains panthenol which is supposed to be calming on the skin. It's supposed to protect you for 48 hours, which I don't really believe, however it protects me all days long, even if I'm really active. I did notice that two light scents: Shower Clean and Pure Cotton are not that long lasting, which I'd blame solely on the scents since they are not that strong and I can smell a bit if I sweat. Also so far I didn't notice any white residue on my black clothes (yaay).

Ti dezodoranti so kar super. Najbolj mi je všeč vonj Fresh Blossom, ker je zelo svež in ni preveč cvetličen. Dizajn je povsem nekaj nenavadnega, vendar super za tiste, ki imate občutljive podpazduhe, saj je iztisk zelo nežen. Krogec malce otežuje, da točno umerite špric na tisto željeno mesto, vendar pri meni vseeno to ni velik problem. Gre za antiperspirant na mineralni osnovi, ki pa ne vsebuje alkohola. Vsebuje pa tudi pantenol za pomiritev. Zaščiti me cel dan, kar mi je super saj včasih potrebujem več zaščite. Prav tako na mojih črnih oblačilih nisem zasledila, da bi puščal belih sledi. Edino kar še morem omenit je to, da nekateri vonji na meni ne zdržijo tako dolgo. Verjetno, ker niso tako intenzivni, hitreje "zavoham", da sem se spotila. To težavo imam pri vonjih: Shower Clean in Pure Cotton, ki pa sta prijetno nežna ter se ne tepeta z vonjem parfuma.

Živjo !
Končno spet objava o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali. Sicer zelo rada govorim o izdelkih, ki so mi všeč in so me navdušili, vendar skušam pri vsakem najt tudi kakšno napakico. Včasih pa mi nekateri izdelki žal res ne ustrezajo. Vsaka koža, lasje ter preference so drugačne, zato ni nujno, da vam ne bi ustrezali. In četudi me nekateri izdelki razočarajo, jih poskušam porabit, saj jih ne rada mečem v koš.

Avon Cocoa Butter - Lip Butter
Naslednja je krema za roke, katero sem sicer na blogu že omenila. Čeprav mi je všeč gosta tekstura, ki se hitro vpije v roke, pa žal ne daje dolgotrajnega učinka. Uporabljala sem jo po večini pred spanjem in zjutraj sem se vedno zbudila s suho kožo na rokah. Prav tako, takoj po uporabi nisem imela občutka izredne navlaženosti. Rekla bi da je super za v torbico, ker ni mastna, ampak za to ceno bi pričakovala kaj  več. Ta vonj je po vaniliji.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this one before. Usually I don't have problems with mascaras since my eyelashes are not high-maintenance, however this one has a horrible packaging and brush. The hole is just too big and when you pull out the brush, there is too much mascara on it. Bristles are thick and coated with too much mascara which leaves me with spider lashes. Though I use a different brush to separate them afterwards, it's just too much hassle. Only good thing is the nicely volumizing formula.

Last but not least...Probably the most deceiving product. This one is supposed to be translucent, but oh no, it literally looks like a light bronze powder. I don't know how is that logical...When I put it on my face it makes my foundation a bit darker which I don't like at all most of the year. Nowadays I use it to set my concealer under the eyes when it's looking a bit too pale. And ofcourse I use it in the summer when I'm not as pale. I'm pretty sure you can't even get this powder in a proper light shade. Also I prefer Rimmel Stay Matte powder much more. This Max Factor one seems to be a bit heavy on my skin.

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.

Hi girls !

This month flew by so fast and I'm a bit excited for upcoming spring. There seem to be a lot of new launches before spring, so I got spoilt with some products. I'm not trying to brag but I just want to let you know what I received, so if you want a review or you're just a bit interested in proucts. Also I shopped a bit - not too much. Still thinking about buying more seasonal Lush products - they're just so cute and delicious smelling !
