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.

Tu in tam si je treba malce privoščiti in ta Dior maskara je bila moj "sladkorček" v novembru. Zanjo sem se odločila, ker sem slišala veliko pohval in nekaj časa sem bila brez prave luksuzne maskare. Bila je v setu z mini Dior paleto, kar je še olajšalo odločitev. Drugače pa so mi trenutno najboljše L'Orealove maskare, saj mi dajo veliko volumna (kar najprej iščem pri maskari). Vedno so mi bile všeč maskare nekje srednjega ranga, dokler nisem preizkusila odlično luksuzno Lancôme maskaro...

Hi girls.

This was my treat in November, because why not. I've heard many good opinions about this mascara and since I didn't own a high end full-size mascara, I wanted to give it a go. It came in a set with a mini palette, which sold me on it right away. And I think it deserves a separate post. To be honest, my favorite mascaras currently are from L'Oreal as they always make my lashes very voluminous. Though I've never been the girl to love cheaper mascaras than that. But then I only discovered one amazing HE mascara from Lancôme...

Če jo primerjam z Lancôme Hypnôse Volume-à-porter mascara, katera me je očarala, je tudi Diorjeva dosegla moja pričakovanja. In ne, ni vsaka luksuzna maskara tako dobra, saj sem preizkusila tudi slednje: Bobbi Brown (Smokey Eye Mascara) and Estée Lauder (Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara), ki so bile za moje mnenje bolj povprečne.

Torej, če imate kaj odveč denarja, definitivno priporočam preizkus.
Cena: okoli 36€
