Maybelline Lifter Gloss 002 Ice

Preizkusila sem tudi kar nekaj primerjev, saj je moja koža postala malce bolj suha in imam rada kakšno vlažilno podlago, pod prekrivnimi pudri. Ta primer vsebuje perlice, katere se utekočinijo, s pritiskom na pumpico. Sicer se na obrazu, na blizu precej poznajo bleščice, ampak se jih skozi puder ne vidi. Zdi se mi da mi daje tak lep sijaj in tudi puder lepo zdrsne s čopičem preko. 

I also tested a few primers. Because my skin got a bit drier, I started to love a nice hydrating primer under the full coverage powders. This one contains pearls, which liquify when pumped out. On the face it blends easily but it does leave some shimmer behing if you look at the skin up close. When applying foundation over the top, it doesn't show through. It does leave a nice glow and I love that foundations applies evenly on top of it.

Too Faced Hangover Primer

Še en vlažilen primer. Tale ima malce vonj po kokosu, ker vsebuje kokosovo vodo. Je res lahkoten, "voden" in se res takoj vpije. Potrebna je malce večja količina za dober vlažilen učinek. Ne pusti pa lepljivega občutka. Puder se lepo zabriše na vrh primerja in se ne "razleze" ali razpoka. Seveda je ta "mini" različica samo za nekajkrat, a meni se je kar hitro dopadel. 

Another hydrating primer. This one has a slight coconut scent, since it's infused with coconut water. It's very lightweight and almost "watery", so it absorbs quickly. I do tend to apply quite a bit to get a nice hydrating feeling. However it feels light and non sticky. Also foundation applies nicely on top of it and it doesn't crack or slide. Of course this mini version is just for a few uses, but I liked it almost right away.

Afrodita Cosmetics Clean Up Face Wash

Ta gel za umivanje obraza sem omenila že na Instagramu. Kupila sem ga, ker mi je zmanjkalo gelov in zame je tale tako nostalgičen. Še posebej po vonju, saj sem na prvi blogerski dogodek šla ravno na lansiranje Clean Phase linije. Vmes so čez leta spremenili podobo linije, vendar je ta gel še vedno tako prijeten. Je tekoč, prozoren in ima prijeten vonj. Kožo nežno, a dobro očisti vseh nečistoč. Najraje ga uporabljam zjutraj.

This is such a nostalgic face wash. Because I ran out of my face washes, I bought this one again. The scent alone is nostalgic to me, because the first blogger event I visited was a launch of Clean Phase line. Throughout the years they've changed the packaging, however this face wash remained as lovely. The texture is quite liquidy, transparent and has a nice gentle smell which is a bit hard to describe. It cleanses the skin very well without being harsh. I love using it especially in the morning.

Balea Aloe Vera Gel

Ker mi je zmanjkalo Afroditinega gela po depilaciji, sem se tokrat odločila, da kupim kar aloe vera gel, ki ima sam po sebi pomirjajočo funkcijo. In tale Balea je res cenovno ugoden (2,29€ / 200 ml). Seveda ima teksturo gela, ki pa je zelo lahkotna, se takoj vpije in ne pusti lepljivega občutka. Meni se zdi, da mi kožo lepo pomiri po depilaciji in ker se hitro vpije, se lahko takoj oblečem. Super bo tudi za poletne dni.

I ran out of my Afrodita Cosmetics after depilation gel, so I decided to try something different. I opted for an aloe vera gel which has calming properties. I chose this Balea one which is quite cheap. Of course it has a texture of a gel, which is very light weight and it absorbs in quickly. Plus it doesn't leave a sticky feeling behind. It's calming and I can put on my clothes right away. I imagine this is gonna be a good product for summer time also. 

Colab Dry Shampoo Paradise

Ker obožujem suhe šampone za lase, sem se odločila, da preizkusim še kakšnega drugega. Izbrala sem Colab znamko, ker jo precej hvalijo. Vonj Paradise mi je odličen, saj ima tako sladek tropski vonj, po kokosu. Spominja me na Batiste Tropical vonj, ki pa se ga žal v Sloveniji ne da več dobiti. Kot piše na embalaži, je ta suh šampon skoraj transparenten. Jaz vseeno opazim malce beline, ampak ni moteče. Deluje dobro, vendar ni za zelo mastne lase. V tem primeru bolj priporočam Batiste. Sicer pa mi je fajn, ko želim lase malce osvežiti med pranji in še ni take krize. Hkrati me vonj precej prepriča, ker lase še kar nekaj časa lepo dišijo. 

Because I love dry shampoos, I decided to try out something new. I chose a Colab one because it's quite talked about. Immediately I loved the Paradise scent because it reminded me of Batiste Tropical scent which is not available anymore in Slovenia. As the packaging states: it's almost transparent. I do notice just a bit of white spots but nothing so visible. It works great, it refreshes the hair and it leaves such a nice sweet but tropical scent behind. The smell lingers even for a few hours. Though it doesn't work the best on really greasy hair. In that case, I recommend Batiste dry shampoo. 

This foaming face wash is not a revolutionary product, however it's really nice and I love it. It's gentle: doesn't contain any alcohol, it contains aloe vera and glycerin. It cleanses the face very nicely but gently. I mostly use it in the morning, one and a half pump is enough. The texture is thicker, so when you apply it onto the skin, it is nicely creamy and doesn't disappear right away. I do think because it 's a foam product, it gets used up faster. Also it's quite cheap.

Another face wash, but a bit different. I've been using LRP Effaclar face wash for years now. But in 2020 they launched a new version which works as a micro-peeling. It's even more cleansing and fights impurities. I don't use it now in the winter months because it could dry out my skin, however other months it was great. I love using it when I have makeup on. So, firstly I remove makeup with micellar water and then wash my face with this face wash. It really deeply cleanses the face and removes all the remaining makeup. Also it leaves a soft feeling behind. I wrote more about it here.

This is not a new product to me, however I really used it in 2020. It's a very light serum with hyluronic acid which is hydrating. I love using it when I want a simple moisturizer with a refreshing feeling (especially in the morning). Of course it's very light on the skin and not greasy at all. It just gives you a nice hydrating feeling. Also it's nice as a base for makeup. However it might be a bit on the pricey side.

This is like an universal cream: it's for the face, body and hands. It's repairing and regenerating cream. I mostly used it on my hands and I think it's great. It has an interesting texture because it seems a bit greasy at first, however it immediately sinks into the skin. It leaves a soft but dry feeling behind. It's great for any cracks and very dry areas. It's not irritating, so it's even ok to use it on the inflamed areas as it is soothing. The scent is nothing special or invasive, but I like that. 

I forgot to mention this product in 2019, however it was a "must have" in 2020. I think it's like a cult product, so of course I had to try it. I bought a smaller packaging and I'm glad I did, because you need a really small amount, so it will last you a long time. It's based on mineral oils and it has a very specific scent. You can put it anywhere, on the really dry areas. It has a really oily, thick texture. So on the lips it looks like a lip oil. I mostly used it on my very cracked and dry hands and any areas where I scratched myself so badly because my skin was so dry and itchy. I could use Bepanthen also, but I like this one. I apply it in the evening on my hands when I know I'm not gonna do anything, so I can really wait for it to work and sink in of course because it's oily. It's also great on any irritated areas because it doesn't sting.
