Empties #19

Hi girls !

My box was full of empty cosmetics, so here is another empties post ! I think I need to start purging my collection again because I'm not satified with how much I use up :)

Dove Invisible Dry Antiperspirant

Up untill this year I haven't tried anything from Dove. I don't know why because most products have such good reviews online. So, this deodorant smells really fresh and feminine. It's great at protecting me from bad smells and it lasts up whole day. It's supposed to be invisible, however if you spray too closely it can look a bit white.

Repurchase: already have

Garnier Neo Soft Flow Antiperspirant - Floral Touch

I was so happy when I got a package full of these new Garnier Neo deodorants. I actually really like them, however I got a problem with the packaging. Somehow I used this one only a few times and then all of a sudden it was completely empty. Just like the spray dissapeared and I've heard it happened to many girls. I'm using another one at the moment and that one is completely fine. I'm just not willing to risk that in the future. Other than that, it is a really nice deodorant and this scent was one of my faves. It lasts whole day and the actual spray is really gentle on the skin.

Repurchase: nope

Rexona Anti-perspirant - Invisible Aqua

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a looong time ! Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Anti-perspirant Invisible black + white

I really liked this deodorant & it did a great job. Also I liked the smell (a bit better than other ones). The only problem I have with Rexona spray deodorants is that they are so strong when you spray them - I almost choke on them.

Repurchase: already have

Got2b Volumania Styling Powder

I am so sad that this is discontinued. I really love Batiste dry shampoos, however sometimes I just want to refresh my hair without too much product left in my hair. That's when I used this lovely product. It didn't show up on my hair and it was nicely refreshing. Also it smelled very nice !

Repurchase: sadly, discontinued

Phyto Huille Soyeuse

I have a problem with brushing out my hair, so I always search for products which won't weight down my (prone to grease easily) hair, while still taming it and providing some hydration. This oil is in a form of a light lotion, which hydrates my hair and can be used even only on the ends of the hair. It feels nice and doesn't feel greasy.
Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit shower gel

I love me some fruity shower gels. This one was quite zesty and refreshing which is awakening and great for mornings. It doesn't feel special but really lovely.
Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream
Shea line from TBS is one of my least favorite ones just because of the smell. It is neutral and good for the days when you don't want something over-powering, however it has a slight bitter scent to it. Despite that this product felt so moisturizing on my skin.
Repurchase: maybe

Afrodita Cosmetics Natural Balance Intimate Soap
Each year Afrodita Cosmetics surprises us with something new. This product was really missing in their line an I am happy to have tested it. It's a nice gentle intimate soap with just a faint scent. I have since bought a different version but I liked this one as well.
Repurchase: probably

The Body Shop Mango Sugar Scrub
A very nice body scrub, maybe a bit too gentle for my taste. Had a great fruity mango scent and I liked it.
Repurchase: maybe

Nivea Frangipani & Oil shower gel
This shower gel has small beads of oil in it which feels a bit moisturizing on the body. Also I liked the gentle floral but a bit fruity scent.
Repurchase: maybe

Treaclemoon One Ginger Morning Body Milk
One of the best smelling products ! I wish I didn't also have as much shower gels so I could buy that because it is divine. When I think of ginger, I think of biterness, however this body milk smelled so fresh and zesty. I just cannot describe it. Other than that it was just a light-weight body moisturiser.
Repurchase: maybe

Essence Studio Nails nail polish corrector pen

Here and there I buy this handy little product because it makes my life easier. It contains some nailpolish remover and is quite convenient. I just hate that the tip dries up so fast, even with changing it up.
Repurchase: maybe

Essence Studio Nails nail care pen
This was a pen with some oil product inside. It was nice, smelled likes oranges and kept my culticles moisturised. However, it went bad quickly and now it stinks.
Repurchase: probably not

Essence sponge nail polish remover
Finally I got rid of this one. It was a great nail polish remover with a big sponge inside. Usually I rotated my fingers in it and voila, nailpolish removed. However, doesn't work for glitter because it gets stuck on the sponge and you can tear it up. At the end I was left with a messy sponge full of dark nail polish remover in it, which was gross and didn't work anymore.
Repurchase: maybe

Dvorec Trebnik Creamy Hand gel
Dvorec Trebnik has some amazing products like this one. This hand cream is thick but feels light weight and instantly sinks into the hands while leaving a refreshing and moisturising effect behind. I love that it doesn't just leave a film on top. Mentioned here !
Repurchase: yes

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're quite thin, but they totally work and I would say they're nice !

Repurchase: yes (always)

Duchesse Cosmetic Pads (Sanddorn-Extrakt)

Ok, so these are a bit different. They seem to be thicker, that's why they're more expensive than the other ones. I really liked them and they do help remove my makeup nicely.

Repurchase: yes

Nivea Creme Care Facial Cleansing Wipes
I was sent these to me quite a long time ago. Creme Care skincare is a hydrating/moisturising line, so it may not be my favorite since my skin is quite oily, however I did like these Cleansing Wipes. At first they burned my skin, don't know why, might be a bad combination of some prodcuts. They removed my makeup nicely while leaving my skin hydrated.
Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In moisture mask
Such a lovely hydration mask with a gentle floral scent. It made my skin feel nicely moisturised without an oily feeling. Also lasted for two uses.
Repurchase: maybe

Fresh & Clean Makeup-Remover Wipes (normal skin)

I like these. They remove my makeup well & they smell nice. Also the packaging is nice with that plastic top (+ I've seen these on sale a lot !)

Repurchase: probably

CadeVera Anti-Shine Mattifying Papers

If you have oily skin, you need these. These tiny papers blot away any oils and then you can powder if you want afterwards. Plus they're cheap. Mentioned here.
Repurchase: already have

Labello Original Lip Balm
My favorite Labello lip balm. It's so moisturizing and creamy, I just love it. Mentioned here.
Repurchase: yes

D&G L'Amoreux perfume
Unisex perfume which I actually really like. I received a sample and had to order it online. It's hard to get, so you have to look for it online. Also I liked the name
Repurchase: have a big bottle already

Duchesse Intimate Wipes

I really like these. They are wet enough and nicely calming. I use them mostly during that "time of the month"

Repurchase: yes

Balea Clear-Up Strips
These are my staple in skincare routine. My pores are so large and need some clearing up at least once per two weeks. They pull out the dirt quite well. However, since getting a blackhead extractor I don't need these as much but they're still convenient to have.
Repurchase: always

L'Oreal Micellar Water
I like this micellar water because it's effective and gentle on my eyes. Though I hate the packaging because it can spill everywhere easily.
Repurchase: probably

Balea bath Stick - Coconut

In the last year I've been enjoying baths. I mainly use Lush bath products but once in a while I buy something cheap as well. This is an oil bath full of shea butter and cocoa butter. You can used it two times (half and half) and it makes your skin feel nicely moisturized. Also it smells so lovely of coconut. The only downside to it, is that it has some shredded coconut on the top which can block your siff.
Repurchase: probably (maybe other scents as well)

Night Time Routine: Dvorec Trebnik Skincare (slo)

dvorectrebnik

Živjo punce !
Marca sem na čudovitih Golteh spoznala novo linijo kozmetike Dvorec Trebnik. Ustvarili so naravno linijo kozmetike za obraz, katera zajema 8 izdelkov. Tako sem sama zamenjala svojo nočno rutino z njihovimi izdelki, kateri moji koži precej ustrezajo. Seveda ne morem vseh izdelkov preizkusiti hkrati, zato se osredotočam na te, katere bom predstavila danes. Morda se komu zdi 5 izdelkov pretirano za popolno obrazno rutino, vendar z redno rutino dosežete lepšo kožo. Le ta je še bolj pomembna, če vsakodnevno nosite ličila. Ker gre za izdelke naravnega izvora, so vsi brez sintetičnih barvil, mineralnih olj, parabenov ter silikonov.

Čistilni losjon

Po odstranitvi ličil si vedno še enkrat dobro očistim obraz. Ta čistilni losjon za obraz vsebuje nepozebnik oz. poznano kot "witch-hazel" za katerega je znano, da deluje protivnetno in antiseptično. Kožo lepo očisti in ji nudi prijeten občutek brez zategovanja ali mastnega občutka. Pa vendar ni moj najljubši samo zato, ker obožujem čistilne gele, kateri se vsaj malce penijo in mi res dajejo občutek očiščene kože. Zdi se mi, da so tudi geli bolj primerni za moj mešan/masten tip kože, ker potrebuje nekaj več, da se odstranijo vsa olja z obraza. Na vonj sem se nekaj časa navajala, saj je precej naraven (jaz bi ga opisala kot "zeliščen"). Embalaža pa je priročna.

Osvežujoči tonik

Sledi seveda tonik, kateri pripravi kožo na nadaljno nego ter vzpostavi ravnovesje. Ta je prijeten, osvežilen, prav tako z nepozebnikom.. Vonj je spet bolj zeliščen oz. naraven, vendar seveda gre za naravno linijo kozmetike. Če vam takšni vonji morda niso všeč, ga izpustite. Občutek je po uporabi osvežilen in ne zateguje kože. Najbolj mi je všeč embalaža, ker je na "špric".

Negovalni balzam za kožo v predelu oči z rožno vodo

Sledi vlaženje kože. Mislim, da sama bolj slabo skrbim za kožo okoli oči. Verjetno sem samo lena. Kljub temu sem res poskušala vsak večer nanesti to kremico okoli oči. Je lahke teksture in zelo nežna do predela okoli oči, saj je tam koža najbolj tanka. Deluje zelo osvežilno, o zmanjšanju gubic pa ne morem govoriti. Balzam naj bi vseboval tudi malo kofeina za zmanjšanje zabuhlosti predela okoli oči. S tem prav tako nimam ogromnih težav ter nisem opazila sprememb. In naj še omenim to super embalažo vseh krem: je na potisk, kar omogoča enostavno doziranje ter ostanejo izdelki higienski.

Vlažilni serum z hialuronsko kislino

...je naravnost čudovit ! Ker imam mešan tip kože, običajno ne maram težkih krem, ki se počasi vpijajo ter za seboj puščajo masten občutek. Zato najraje posežem po serumih, ki so tekoči in dajejo občutek vlaženja, kakor bi koža vsrkala ogromno vode. Tudi ta je takšen. Skoraj transparentna tekočina ima rahel vonj po vrtnicah, ki pa je v primerjavi z nekaterimi podobnimi izdelki zelo prijeten. Takoj se vpije v kožo in za seboj ne pušča nobenega neprijetnega občutka. Super je za uporabo, ko me po obrazu zateguje, sploh po kakšnih čistilnih gelih za obraz ali šamponu za lase, ko mi ta razdraži čelo. Ker vsebuje hialuronsko kislino, zagotavlja dobro vlaženje. Priporočam ga tako za "mastnokožke" kot tudi tiste s suho kožo (v hladnejših dneh tudi kot dodatna nega pod kremo za obraz).

Negovalni balzam s propolisom

Včasih pa potrebujem malo več vlaženja oz. občutek, da je moja koža navlažena tudi na otip, saj se kreme v primerjavi s serumi počasneje vpijejo (vsaj na moji koži). Ta balzam je še posebej namenjen nečistoča. Kot nočno kremo sem izbrala prav tega saj poleg propolisa, ki deluje pomirjajoče, vsebuje še čajevec s katerim imam običajno odlične izkušnje pri odpravljanju nepravilnosti. Zame definitivno ta krema ni namenjena za dnevno nego, ker je precej vlažilna in mi mastne kože ne matira, temveč se včasih občuti precej težko. Po redni uporabi te kreme nisem opazila kakšnih velikih sprememb, pa vendar se mi je zazdelo tu in tam, da mi je malo pomagala proti nepravilnostim (mozoljčkom).

Cene izdelkov se gibljejo med 9,99 in 11,99€ ter jih najdete v trgovinah Mercator in tudi v

>spletni trgovini< (kjer si lahko podrobno ogledate sestavine)

"Edino kar meni osebno manjka v celotni liniji je morda bolj lahka dnevna (matirna) krema za mastno kožo ter kakšen gel ali pena za čiščenje. Seveda pa so to samo moje preference. "

5 products I've been loving in January

catrice

Hi girls !
In January I've tried to test just a few new bits, but was mostly focused on using up old skincare and body products. Still I found some interesting products to talk about.

Živjo punce !
Da malce popestrim objave, sem tudi ta mesec uspela spisat kateri izdelki so me navdušili v januarju. Ker sem se ta mesec bolj osredotočila na porabo starejših izdelkov, jih nisem toliko preizkusila. Pa vendar si nekateri zaslužijo omembo, saj so me očarali.

Lush Cream Eyeshadow - Sophisticated

So this is an interesting eye shadow. Though the price is steep, I instantly fell in love. I love taupe shades and this one is right up my alley. It's a creamy eye shadow which I dot on my eyelids and then just blend with fingers. Takes me two seconds. It spreads nicely, transforming into a powdery texture and I find myself not even using a blending brush. The only thing I was sceptic about is: longevity. Why ? Because creamy eyeshadows tend to really crease on my oily eyelids. But I was so wrong ! Sometimes I don't even need to use primer with this one. I'm thinking about doing a post on lush makeup items.

To senčilo za oči je definitivno zanimivo. Že po prvi uporabi sem se zaljubila vanj, saj obožujem takšne "sivkasto-rjave" odtenke in je ta popolnoma pisan na mojo kožo. Gre za kremasto senčilo, katerega sama nanesem po pikicah na veke ter ga kar s prsti zabrišem. Uporaba je res enostavna saj se tekstura spremeni v bolj pudrasto in običajno niti ne potrebujem čopiča za zabrisovanje. Ker imam mastne veke običajno spodaj nanesem podlago za senčila, ampak tudi ni tako ključnega pomena, saj kar dobro zdrži na vekah. Kar me moti je mogoče le cena (18,50€).

Catrice Prime and Fine Professional Contouring Palette - 010 Ashy Radiance

Another hyped product amongst beauty bloggers (at least slovenian). I know I've been to the drugstore many times and it was out of stock all the time + I didn't need another contouring shade so I forgot about it. Thankfully I won it in a giveaway. This ashy brown shade just suits my pale complexion and I just love how easy it is to blend.

Še en izdelek, ki ima dober ugled med blogerkami. Kot veste ga je tudi malce težje dobiti v drogeriji, saj zaloge takoj poidejo. Tudi sama sem ga iskala, vendar, ker imam že druge pudre za senčenje obraza, sem ga potem avtomatsko pozabila. Na srečo pa sem ga prejela v nagradni igri. Torej, odtenek je res perfekten za svetlo polt, saj ima sivkast podton ter ne izgleda oranžno. Prav tako se enostavno zabriše in z nanosom nimam problemov. Skratka, priporočam.

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - Light

In October, lovely Maša from Low Maintenance Beauty brought me this concealer which I wanted for a very long time. I just wanted to understand the hype behind it. And now I'm totally hooked on it. It just has the best coverage: hides any imperfection. Also the lightest shade really suits my porcelain skin. Plus it's around 5€. Sadly you can only get it in UK, so now I'm going to store it somewhere and use up some other concealers.

Za to pridobitev gre zahvala Maši iz Low Maintenance Beauty. Namreč ga je prinesla s svojega potovanja v oktobru. Res me je zanimalo zakaj toliko govora med tujimi blogerkami prav o tem korektorju. No, zdaj vem. Prekrivnost je naravnost čudovita. Prekrije vse nepravilnosti, najsvetlejši odtenek pa ustreza moji ekstremno porcelanasti polti. V Angliji pa stane samo 5€, kar je odlično. Sicer ga bom za zdaj malce pospravila, ker morem najprej porabit kakšen drug korektor in mi je tega res škoda.

Dvorec Trebnik Creamy Hand Gel - Funky Coconut

As Tamara from CherryColors said: it smells like Malibu alcohol drink (more from her here) ! The scent is quite strong: coconuty but with a slight note of alcohol which can be interesting. The texture is definitely unique for a hand cream: a creamy gel formula which sinks into the skin quite quickly. The packaging is ok, though I usually don't like sticking my fingers in pots full of products, but it's a hand cream anyways. It really nourishes my hands which can be difficult for me since I find barely any hand cream good enough in the winter time.

Prvo kot prvo, ima ta krema za roke vonj po alkoholni pijači Malibu (s tem se strinja tudi Tamara iz CherryColors). Vonj je res močan, ampak ni po značilnem kokosu, temveč ima malce alkoholni pridih kar je zanimivo. Najbolj mi je všeč unikatna tekstura saj je kremasta vendar podobna gelu. Precej hitro se vpije v roke, ampak dobro navlaži kožo. Embalaža ni moja najljubša, ampak ji oprostim, ker je res čudovita.

Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm

Another Lush product. Actually I've been using it for about two months and I think this is one of the best lip balms I've tried. It contains shea butter, almond oil, olive oil some other bits to make it smell really love, such as: honey, white chocolate and mint. When you apply it on the lips, it feels nourishing but when you wait a bit, the oils and butter melt and produce a nourishing layer. It definitely is one of the most moisturizing lip balms out there and it smells amazing ! The only thing I don't like is the actual packaging even though they've re-designed the packaging (old one on the picture).

Še en izdelek znamke Lush, ki si zasluži svojo omembo. Po dveh mesecih uporabe lahko rečem, da je to eden izmed najbolj hranljivih balzamov, ki sem jih preizkusila. Vsebuje karitejevo maslo, mandljevo olje ter olivno olje. Za vonj pa so mu dodali: med, belo čokolado ter meto. Po nanosu na ustnice počakaš par sekund in se olja ter masla začnejo kar topit na ustnicah, kar ustvari čudovit hranljiv sloj. Res je super vlažilen, pa še njami diši :3 Na fotografiji je malce starejša embalaža, saj so jo sedaj že malce spremenili, pa vendar mi ni najljubša, ker ne maram vtikat prstov v balzame. Trenutno tega kar z embalažo podrgnem na ustnice, kar je še funkcionalno.
