Hi girls.

Today I decided to talk about products that I don't really like that much. I expected them to perform good but they actually didn't. Maybe you like some of them, but for me they just didn't work. Another disclaimer: even though the products mentioned in this post didn't work for me, I try to use up some of them or give them away to a person that would enjoy them...

Živjo.
Danes pa malce negativna objava o izdelkih, ki so me razočarali. Mislila sem, da me bodo navdušili, vendar niso opravili svojega namena. Mogoče so komu super izdelki, vendar zame niso delovali dovolj dobro. Hkrati pa naj omenim, da vseeno takšne izdelke poskušam porabit ali pa jih dam komu, ki bi mu bili všeč...

Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 One Step Cleanser

As much as I like Vichy products, this one didn't spark my joy. It supposed to cleanse, remove makeup and tone your skin. It's a cleansing milk which isn't my favorite either. You apply it onto the skin, massage it in and then remove it with cotton pads or warm water. Well, I don't like the fact that it leaves my skin so greasy afterwards. It simply doesn't remove and leaves a weird layer behind. So then I would need to use another cleanser. It's not my first option to remove makeup either since I didn't feel like it remove my eye makeup well. I just think it's too much work.

Običajno mi Vichy izdelki za nego obraza res ustrezajo, ampak tale me res ni navdušil. Deluje kot čistilec, odstranjevalec ličil ter toner - 3 v 1. Ima teksturo kot čistilna mleka, kar meni že tako običajno ni všeč. Pa vendar sem ga kar nekajkrat preizkusila in se ni dobro obneslo. Izdelek naneseš direktno na kožo, tekočino vmasiraš ter vzameš vatice in z njimi obrišeš obraz, ali pa s toplo vodo kar umiješ stran izdelek ter nečistoče. Najbolj me moti, da za seboj pusti tak masten občutek. Ne da se ga odstranit in za seboj pusti čuden sloj. Tako, da morem nato vseeno uporabit še eno čistilo za obraz. Hkrati pa se mi zdi, da tudi ličil ne odstrani dobro. Preveč dela je z njim in ne obnese se dobro.

Carmex Classic  lip balm

I bought this lip balms because I've heard good things about Carmex. Well I loved this lip balm at first, but then I realised it was kinda bad for every day use. Yes it feels nicely moisturizing, however it contains menthol so it plumps up your lips and speeds up circulation. If I used it often during the day, my lips would get hot and that feeling wouldn't stop. Now I use it once during application of my makeup and then I'm finished with it. But I'm curious if the Carmex in the pot has menthol as well.

Carmex balzam sem kupila, ker je veliko govora o njih. Tekstura mi je na začetku bila res zelo všeč in zdelo se mi je, da mi dobro navlaži ustnice. Nato pa sem ugotovila, da verjetno ni primeren za vsak dan saj vsebuje mentol in pospeši cirkulacijo v ustnicah, da izgledajo bolj polne. Če sem ga uporabljala redno čez dan, so bile moje ustnice potem vroče in občutek ni izginil po nekaj urah in mi je bilo zelo neprijetno. Zato ga zdaj uporabim samo enkrat vmes, ko se ličim. Me pa zanima ali vsak Carmex balzam vsebuje izvleček mentola.  

Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment - Simply Rose

I got two products from Kiehl's and neither of them wowed me (Creme de Corps lotion is quite ok, but nothing special for that price). This lip balm is tinted red and would be a perfect Christmas shade. However, it is quite drying. It doesn't do much on my lips. If it would be a lipstick, I would understand that, but being a lip balm, it couldn't be worse. 

Od znamke Kiehl's sem dobila dva izdelka in noben me ni pretirano navdušil (Creme de Corps losjon je kar vredu, ampak nič posebnega za tako visoko ceno). Ta balzam je obarvan (sicer je moj v božični izdaji) in je lep odtenek za praznične dni. Hkrati pa se mi ne zdi dovolj vlažilen, temveč precej suh. Nanese se lepo kremasto, ampak potem se mi zdi izsušujoč. In tudi malo preveč je pigmentiran za navaden balzam. Bi razumela, če bi bila šminka in bi izsušila moje ustnice, vendar je balzam, zato ga ne razumem.

Yves Saint Laurent All Hours FoundationI mentioned this product before (here). But let's talk about it again because it deserves to be in this post. As much as I love the porcelain shade (B10) and how lightweight it is, it just disappointed me. That's because there was so much good talk about it amongst beauty bloggers. The name "all hours" suggests it to be long lasting, however, it just does not last long on my skin. After 5 hours I'm quite oily and it separates on my chin. It's quite sad because this is one hella expensive foundation and now I learned that it would be best to test a foundation before purchasing it. But if you don't have extra oily T-zone, maybe you could try it out, because it has a pretty finish.

O tem izdelku sem že pisala tukaj. Ampak naj ga še enkrat omenim, ker si žal zasluži tole objavo. Res mi je všeč zelo svetel porcelanast odtenek (B10) in kako lahkotna je ta podlaga. Pa vendar me je ta puder razočaral. Morda tudi zato, ker je bil tako opevan v lepotnem svetu. Ime "all hours" seveda namiguje na to, da naj bi bila podlaga zelo obstojna, vendar ne na moji koži. Sama imam precej mastno T-cono. Ko nosim ta puder, moja koža po 5ih urah izgleda precej mastna ter se podlaga tudi začne ločevati na bradi. Res žalostno za tako drag tekoč puder. Sem se naučila, da bi bilo pred nakupom potrebno preizkusiti podlago. Pa vendar, nekako jo bom vseeno porabila. Če pa nimate tako masten T-cone, jo morda lahko vseeno preizkusite saj zgleda res lepo na koži.

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).
