Hi girls.

I'm back with a little bit of a negative post. Dishing about some products that did not meet my expectations and are just not worth the price. Have you tried any of them and disliked them or maybe even liked them ? Let me know...Also you can find a few posts like this one here.

Živjo punce.

Tokrat se javljam z eno malce bolj negativno objavo. Spet vam predstavljam nekaj izdelkov od katerih sem pričakovala več kot pa so dosegli ter niso vredni svoje cene. Je kateri izmed njih tudi na vaši listi nezaželenih izdelkov? Ostale podobne objave pa lahko najdeš tukaj...

L'oreal Brow Artist Sculpt - 01 Blonde

This brow product firstly has a weird shape to it, so it's very hard to brush your eyebrows with. And secondly the product has a weird colour to it which is somehow very yellow and not ashy at all. It is just not a great find and I recommend you Golden Rose Brow mascara overall.

Ta maskara za obrvi me je razočarala po celi črti. Najprej, ima zelo čudno obliko krtačke, ki je tako debela, da si ne moreš natančno počesati obrvi ter ima na koncu še konico s katero bi lahko zarisal obrvi, ampak je vse skupaj zelo nerodno. Hkrati pa ima ta odtenek zelo čudno barvo, saj je nekako rumeno obarvan ter sploh ni sivkast oz "pepelnato blond", kar sama iščem v takšnih izdelkih. Najbolj vam priporočam Golden Rose Brow maskaro, ker je popolna za takšen tip izdelka.

The Body Shop Matte Clay Foundation - 010 Peruvian Lily

This was my first time trying TBS foundations. The shade is actually perfect for me: it's so pale and yellow toned, so it suits me. And the finish is nice natural matt. However on me, it doesn't have much lasting power, so it's starts to separate and transfer quite quickly. So I could get a two hours wear out of it when just going to lunch or something. I am very sad that it didn't work out for me, because I love the shade.

Tole je moj prvi tekoči puder znamke TBS. Kupila sem ga, ker je odtenek popoln za mojo polt: je zelo svetel ter ima rumen podton, kar se zelo lepo zlije z mojo kožo. In tudi končen izgled je lepo naraven matt. Sicer pa žal na meni res ni obstojen. Kar hitro zbledi ter se loči na predelih. Tako, da ga lahko nosim samo kako urco ali dve, če grem na pijačo/kosilo. Zelo mi je žal, da mi ne ustreza saj mi je odtenek res zelo všeč.

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara - mini

I am not disappointed with many mascaras but this one just left me "meh". And I seem to have a mascara in each one of this kind of posts because I store them away to mention. The brush is quite big with standard bristles which I love. But then the formula didn't wow me. It is on a drier side, so you have to brush the eyelashes many many times. Firstly it adds some length and then a bit of volume. But even if I apply it many times, it won't give me the wow effect. I am used to nice, volumizing and thickening mascaras and this one just doesn't meet my expectations. The final look is just too natural. But if you like going for a natural effect, it might be for you. Also if you have oily eye area, make sure to set it very well because it transfers under the eyes.

Bi rekla, da nad maskarami nisem dostikrat razočarana, vendar se v vsaki takšni objavi znajde ena, saj jih pridno hranim za omembo med izdelki, ki so me razočarali. Torej, krtačka na tej maskari je kar običajna s ščetinami, ki so prijetne na trepalnicah. Tekstura pa je precej suha in me ni navdušila. Četudi jo naneseš kar nekajkrat, končen učinek ni wow. Sama imam rada res goste in malce daljše trepalnice. Tale maskara pa na trepalnicah pusti nekaj barve, jih lepo podaljša, vendar sploh ni volumenska. Ker pa imam bolj mastne veke, se ta maskara rada odtisne pod očmi, kar mi prav tako ni všeč. Učinek je precej naraven, tako da če vam je to sicer všeč, bi vam morda maskara ustrezala.

Lush Pumice Power

This is the first Lush product that disappointed me. I am such a fan of Lush and this product was recommended by someone, so I had to try it. It's supposed to be a scrub and soap for your feet. It smells a bit fresh and will probably get rid of any uncomfortable smells. It is quite a gentle scrub and on the touch it feels like fine sand. This is the first thing I don't like because it doesn't feel very scrubby and will leave a sandy feeling on the bottom of the shower. I feel like it softens the feet just a bit but doesn't get rid of any dead skin to be honest. It lasts for ages if you keep it out of water and it's very cheap. Sadly for me it doesn't work but some love it.

Tole je verjetno prvi Lush-ev izdelek, ki me je razočaral. Res sem preizkusila veliko njihovih izdelkov in tale je bil precej priporočen. Gre za piling za stopala oz. milo. Ima prijeten svež vonj kateri naj bi odstranil neprijetne vonjave. Sicer pa je precej nežen piling, ki se občuti kot pesek (tudi na dnu tuša). Na koži je precej nežen, kar že takoj pomeni, da stopal ne bo kar veliko zdrgnil. Malce zmehča stopala, sicer pa ne odstrani trde kože. Je poceni izdelek, katerega porabiš res malo, če ga po uporabi ne izpostavljaš vodi. Sicer pa ni nič kaj posebnega, ker se mi zdi, da z njim stopala drgnem "v prazno".

Gillette Venus Razors

Well beauty is not only skincare and makeup for me. So I have to touch on the subject about shaving as well. Ever since I've discovered the all mighty Venus Breeze razors, I cannot use anything else. But sometimes I venture into trying something else, as a beauty junkie I am. I've tried the men's Gilette version but was not that wowed by them (they were still nice). And then I tried these standard Venus ones for women and was just so disappointed. They only have three razors but they just don't give you that close shave. If you want a very close shave you have to pull and tighten the skin, however that can result into getting cut a bit. I just want my razor to give me a very close shave which Venus Breeze does. Those razors look just like this one but with some added soap, however they just work very differently. 

Lepota pa niso samo teme o lepih izdelkih, ampak se morem kdaj tudi dotakniti teme o britju. Odkar sem v najstništvu odkrila opevane Venus Breeze britvice, od njih ne odstopam in jih venomer kupujem ter uporabljam. Tu in tam pa še vedno zaradi firbca preizkusim kaj drugega. Preizkusila sem moške Gilette britvice, ki me niso ravno navdušile, čeprav so precej dobre. In potem sem enkrat kupila paket nekaj škatlic teh klasičnih britvic. Takoj sem bila razočarana. Čeprav imajo tri rezila, kakor Venus Breeze, ta ne delujejo niti približno tako dobro. Sama imam rada, da britvica pobrije dlačice čim bolj blizu kože (še posebej pod pazduho ter na intimnih predelih) in ta klasična britvica pusti kakšen milimeter ali dva dlačice, četudi uporabiš novo. Je kakor bi se brila s staro britvico. Lahko poskušaš kožo napet, kar se včasih pozna pri tem, da se vrežeš, pa še to ne bo pomagalo. Ne vem kako Venus Breeze na pogled izgledajo enako kot te, ampak imajo samo dodatno milo, vendar delujejo popolnoma drugače. Te pač niso vredne cene in sem zelo razočarana, ker sploh ne vem kaj naj z njimi.

Živjo punce.
Čas je, da z Vami delim spet nekaj izdelkov, ki so me razočarali oziroma me niso prepričali. Nekatere sem sama kupila, nekatere pa prejela. Vendar naj opomnim, da na vsaki osebi izdelki delujejo različno in verjetno je kateri izmed teh tudi všeč drugim. Seveda z Vami delim svojo, subjektivno izkušnjo. Prejšnje objave si lahko ogledate tukaj.

Hi girls.

I think it's time to discuss again about the products that didn't not work for me. Some I've bought & some I've received. Different products work for different people, so if you might happen to have tried & loved any of these, please share with me why - it's very interesting. You can read previous posts about disappointing products: here.



Testirala sem že kar veliko Avon izdelkov in nekateri me včasih ne navdušijo, vendar tale pa me res ni. Gre za olje za telo v obliki spreja, kar se mi je zdelo priročno. Vendar sem že ob prvi uporabi opazila, da ima precej čuden vonj po alkoholu. Nato sem pogledala na seznam sestavin in na drugem mestu opazila alcohol denat (ta lahko izsušuje kožo). Običajno sicer sama nisem občutljiva na alkohol v kozmetiki, saj ne vpliva toliko na spremembe moje kože, vendar ima to olje popolnoma vonj po alkoholu, kar sama na svojo kožo več ne bi dala. Sicer pa je tekstura precej suha in olje ne pusti mastnega občutka.

There have been some Avon products that left me "meh", however this one is really something else. The texture looks very liquidy, so it's good that it has a spray dispenser. Within the first use I've noticed it smells so weird and strong and then I took off the lid and realised that it smells literally like alcohol. Of course the second ingredient is alcohol denat. Usually I'm not bothered by alcohol in cosmetics, however this is outstanding. I cannot bring myself to use so much alcohol on my skin. Plus when applied, it is very dry doesn't leave you greasy.

Preizkušanja te BB kreme sem se zelo veselila, saj sem ljubiteljica Normaderm linije že več let. Izdelek imam doma že 2 leti in čas je, da spregovorim o njem ter ga vržem stran, saj mu je že pretekel rok. Normaderm linija mi je všeč saj imam mastno kožo in mi običajno izdelki uravnajo sebum. Tako je ta BB krema primerna za mastno ter problematično kožo. Obljublja kontroliranje sijaja in zmanjšanje nepravilnosti. Ko sem jo sama nanesla, sploh nisem imela občutka matiranja, po nekaj urah pa sem se tudi precej svetila. Prav tako je svetel odtenek: Light precej oranžen in temen. Žal meni učinek sploh ni bil všeč. Ne morem pa govoriti o tem ali res zmanjša nepravilnosti.

I was so excited when I got this BB cream because I've loved Normaderm line for many years now. And I can't believe I've had this product for 2 years now, so it's about time I get out what bothers me and throw it away. Because my skin is quite greasy, I was excited that this was finally a BB cream which would eliminate the shine while being very light on the skin.(that's what it claims) Yes, it's very light, however it gives you a natural glow and I become a disco ball after two hours. Plus the shade: light is still too dark on me and gives me an orange look. I cannot tell if it helps combat imperfections.

Tole potovalno različico maskare sem kupila skupaj z primerjem (kateri mi je še kar všeč) in vsebuje kar dobro količino: 2.8ml. Takšne krtačke kot jo ima ta maskara pred tem še nisem uporabljala: stožčasta oblika, z ožjim delom na vrhu. Ščetine pa so klasične, goste ter izgledajo super. Vendar me ni navdušila. Doda mi nekaj volumna in malo podaljša trepalnice, vendar ni nobenega wau učinka. Žal mi druge, cenejše maskare dajo veliko več volumna. Običajna različica je precej draga, zato menim, da ni vredna nakupa. Morda pa samo meni ne ustreza tale mini različica.

However, I've tried this mascara a couple of times separately and it just didn't wow me. Besides giving me some volume, there's not much longevity, so I would have to combine it with and other mascaras. I realized the full-size cost quite some money, so to me it is not worth it. Or maybe I don't get along with the mini version. I can easily get much more volume with other mascaras.

Čistilne robčke CadeaVera lahko kupite v drogerijah Müller in so precej poceni. Ta različica je namenjena občutljivi koži ter naj bi učinkovito odstranili ličila. Pa vendar so po mojih izkušnjah precej grobi. Vonj je svež vendar močen in umeten. Ličila odstrani odlično, vendar so me že ob prvi uporabi takoj pekle oči ter prav tako koža. Dobila sem tako topel občutek, okoli oči pa sem bila zelo rdeča. Preizkusila sem jih večkrat, vendar ti robčki res niso prijetni. Spomnim se, da sem jih preizkusila že pred nekaj leti, vendar so se očitno vmes spremenili. Pa vendar priporočam antibakterijsko različico robčkov, v zeleni embalaži, saj so meni osebno dobri in so nežni za mojo kožo, čeprav običajno ni občutljiva (mastna koža).

This brand is by Müller and is very affordable. The wipes are supposed to be suitable for normal skin and promise removing makeup. However, these are very harsh. First of all, the smell is very artificial, refreshing and strong. And then I started wiping makeup off of my face and eyes and after a few seconds it gave me a warm sensation. I realized these contain either too much alcohol or have something that irritates me. My eyes stung so much afterwards and were quite red, so I had to wash my face quickly. Not pleasant at all ! I've tried them two years or so ago and liked them, however these seem to be different now. Now I use them to remove swatches or stuff like that because I can't even use then on my face. Though I recommend their Antibacterial version in a green packaging which is very gentle on me and I usually don't have any problems with face wipes (oily skin).

Hi girls !

Lately I've not had much motivation to write, which brings me to dish about products that I just did not like and would not repurchase or buy myself anyways. These kind of posts may not be as fun to write but are definitely worth it because I like being warned about products here an there. Let me know if you've tried any of these and if you feel the same about them or no...You can find a previous post about such product here.

Živjo punce !
Čeprav zadnje tedne nimam toliko motivacije za pisanje, pa sem se odločila, da govorim o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali. Morda ima takšna objava malce negativno noto, ampak sama sem rada opozorena o izdelkih, ki niso vredni nakupa. Če ste jih tudi ve preizkusile, pa me zanima kakšno je Vaše mnenje o njih...Prejšnjo objavo o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali, pa lahko najdete tukaj.

To be honest this product I bought just because I really needed a lip balm (I forgot mine) in Italy and I never tried anything from Kiehl's before. I bought it unaware that it was from Men's line, no wonder it's no-shine lip balm. And I liked the minty smell. It was not the cheapest, being around 10€. Formula is really light, water-like and slides on the lips easily. It contains shea butter as main moisturising ingredient, however I feel like it only makes a layer and doesn't give me much moisture. It's one of those if you need just a tiny bit of lip balm because I find even some lipsticks more hydrating than this product. Will be definitely trying anything else that is raved about, but this one did not work for me. I'm still using it up, mostly under lipsticks as it is not sticky.

Ta izdelek sem kupila čisto po naključju, saj sem v Italiji pozabila balzam za ustnice. In ker še nisem preizkusila ničesar od opevane znamke Kiehl's ter je bila prva trgovinica, ki sem jo videla, sem pač kupila ta balzam. Sicer nisem vedela, da je del moške linije, ampak mi je bil rahel vonj po poprovi meti. Cena pa tudi ni bila majhna: okoli 10€. Tekstura je zelo lahkotna, vodena in se enostavno razporedi po ustnicah. Hkrati pa ustvari nekakšen sloj, ki ni tako vlažilen kot bi si želela. Čeprav vsebuje karitejevo maslo, je balzam eden izmed najbolj lahkotnih, zato je bolj primerna za pod šminke za malce hidracije. Žal izdelek ni tako učinkovit in bom od te znamke raje preizkusila kaj bolj hvaljenega.

Not that many mascaras disappoint me, however when they do, I need to mention it. This one I got in a travel kit set and was really excited about. I think I read some good opinions about it. It's supposed to be volumizing, extremely black and dramatic mascara however it didn't meet up my expectations. I like my lashes very volumized and black. The brush is really nice as it doesn't clump my lashes and it adds quite some volume, however there is nothing that dramatic about it. I layered it quite a bit and still got the same effect as with any L'Oreal mascara. Plus the mini tube dries up quickly. I don't know if it's because it's a travel size, but sadly it's not that awesome or outstanding for the price.

Moje trepalnice niso tako zahtevne in mi kar veliko maskar ustreza - nekatere so boljše od drugih, pa vendar, ko me katera razočara jo moram omeniti. Tole sem kupila v travel setu, katerega sem se zelo razveselila. Gre za volumensko maskaro, ki naj bi bila ekstremno črna ter zagotavljala dramatičen učinek na trepalnicah. Žal pa ni tako. Krtačka mi je sicer všeč, ker lepo loči trepalnice in jih ne zlepi. Maskara pa je povprečno volumenska in podaljša trepalnice, vendar ne opazim dramatičnega učinka. Večkrat sem jo preizkušala ter jo slojila, vendar z njo dosežem enak učinek kot npr. z priljubljenimi maskarami L'Oreal. Morda je tudi kriva mini tubica, ker se formula prej posuši.

Another product from Bobbi Brown that just did not work for me. Firstly, I don't really use cleansing oils on daily basis so this one was a first for me. You're supposed to use it on dry skin while massaging it in and then mix it with warm water and remove it. It does get some foundation off, however it doesn't do anything on the eyes - it just smudges everything around and if you get it in the eyes, the vision gets blurry and it's not pleasant at all. I just don't feel like it's worth it and I'd rather use micellar water or sth else. It contains Kukui Nut and Sunflower Oils.

Še en BB izdelek, ki me ni očaral. Tole pa je olje za odstranjevanje ličil oz. čiščenje kože. Čeprav jih običajno v vsakodnevni negi obraza ne uporabljam, pa sem dala temu priložnost. Uporablja se ga na suho kožo, tako da se vmasira s krožnimi gibi, nato pa dodaš še vodo in se pomeša v kremasto teksturo pri čemer se odstranijo ličila. Meni žal ni tako všeč, ker ne odstrani ličil z obraza tako dobro, še večje težave pa imam pri očeh saj se vse razpaca. In če olje pride v oko, imaš potem zamegljen videz in neprijeten občutek. Skratka, raje uporabim kakšno micelarno vodo. Izdelek vsebuje KuKui ter sončnično olje.

In Slovenia and I assume many other countries, girls have been raving and going crazy over black peel-off masks. So, DM has made one for their Balea brand and it's just whatever. Firstly, it is not really black, more like dark grey. Texture is super runny, so when applying it, it runs down your face. I finally got the hang of it and applied it like normal - thin coat, but had to be in a lying position (180°) and wait for it to dry. Well, it doesn't dry quickly. I never had such a long drying mask, even when applying a thin layer. It took 25 minutes to dry. At the end I peeled it off - nothing painful, really easy but still a bit messy. All I was left with, was a bit less oily, glowy skin but the pores were still filled. It might be ok if you have pimples, since it contains Salicylic acid, however there is so much alcohol in it (Alcohol Denat on second place, right after Water), so not worth it. It's only 0,50€ and you get at least 2 uses out of it. I went crazy and couldn't find it anywhere to purchase, so when I saw it, I bought like 4 packets - not expensive but still not worth it.

In še izdelek kateri je zadnje čase tako opevan na spletu in vseh družbenih omrežjih: črna peel-off maska. Tudi DM ima svojo pod znamko Balea in je najcenejša kar je možno (0,50€). Ker so jo vse tako opevale in kupovale sem se odločila, da tudi jaz preverim kakšna je in seveda sem jo iskala po vseh DM trgovinah in ko sem jo končno našla sem kupila 4 - ni vredno. Tekstura je zelo tekoča in ko jo nanašaš na obraz kar teče. Po nekaj poizkusih sem jo tudi zelo lepo nanesla - tanek sloj, ampak se je zelo dolgo sušila. Pri čemer sem se raje kar vlegla, da se ne bi premaknila. Še vedno je to najbolj dolgo sušeča maska kar sem jo preizkusila - suši se kar 25 minut. In ko jo odstraniš, je to zlahka, brez bolečin, le z nekaj packarije. Učinek: bolj matirana, sijoča koža, pore pa so še vedno zamašene. Ker vsebuje salicilno kislino bi morda res bila super za tiste, ki se soočate z mozoljčki - pa vendar, vsebuje toliko alkohola (Alcohol Denat na drugem mestu, takoj za vodo), da ni vredno. Res je poceni in jo imaš za večkrat (1 paketek je za vsaj 2x), ampak sama raje kupim kakšno drugo masko.

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.
