Živjo punce.

Tokrat se oglašam s svojimi junijskimi favoriti. Večinoma trenutno uporabljam ista ličila, ker vem kaj mi je res všeč in se mi ne da eksperimentirati. Vseeno pa imam v rutini nekaj novih in ponovno odkritih izdelkov za nego obraza, telesa ipd. Pa poglejmo kateri so me pred kratkim navdušili...

Hi girls.

Long time no "see". I've been a bit lazy, but still wanted to share my latest beauty discoveries which I've been enjoying in June and also now in July. Let's see which are those products...

The Body Shop Ginger Shower Gel

TBS je lansiral dve omejeni liniji za poletje: ena je z vonjem po bananah druga pa z ingverjem. Gre za koncept uporabe hrane, ki ne ustreza trgovinskim standardom, ker ne izgleda popolno. Takšno običajno zavržejo, TBS pa se je odločil uporabiti to sadje in zelenjavo v svojih izdelkih. Eden izmed teh je nepopoln ingver. Sama ne rada uživam ingver, ampak ko sem povonjala ta izdelek, mi je takoj postal všeč. Obožujem citrusne, sveže vonje in tudi ta tuš gel je presenetljivo osvežilen. Čeprav ima še vedno precej naraven pridih, me spominja na limone s pridihom začimb. Meni se zdi vonj res super za poletje. Sicer pa ga malce "šparam", ker ga je škoda in je samo omejena izdaja.

The Body Shop launched limited edition products for body: one is with bananas and one is with ginger. It is based on using the food which is not up to store standards and looks imperfect. This food is usually thrown away, however TBS is using it in their skincare and such. One of them is imperfect ginger. I am not a fan of ginger, however when I smelled this line I changed my mind. The scent is actually very fresh. I am obsessed with fresh, fruity and zesty scents, so this one is very much to my liking. It has a zesty touch to it, with a bit of a natural but spicy scent. However to me it mostly smells like lemon ice tea. I love it, but because it's limited edition I've been kind of saving it a bit.

Dr. PAWPAW Peach Pink Balm

O teh večnamenskih balzamih sem slišala same pohvale in čeprav nisem potrebovala novih izdelkov, sem si v TkMaxx kupila trio balzamov (neobarvan, roza oranžen odtenek ter rdečkast odtenek). Glavna sestavina je PAWPAW - izvleček iz papaje, ki je zdravilna. Prav tako vsebuje aloe vero, olivno olje ter vazelin. Je goste teksture in res spominja na klasičen vazelin. Zelo lepo se razmaže ter ustnicam daje sijoč videz brez oljnega občutka. Odtenek je popoln za poletje saj je nežno roza breskvast. Balzam pa je brez vonja, kar morda ni tako zanimivo. Lahko ga naneseš tudi na lička. Brezbarven balzam pa je praktično za vse: tudi za pete, komolce; skratka povsod kjer imaš suho kožo.

I've read many good things about these lip balms before. I wasn't looking to buy it, however I got a trio in TkMaxx just to try out because it was extra cheap (colorless one, peachy and a red color). Main ingredient of these balms is PAWPAW which is an extract from papaya and is supposed to be very healing. Also there is aloe vera, olive oil and vaseline inside. The texture is thick and reminds me of a regular vaseline. It spreads very nicely and gives a shiny look to lips without feeling greasy. This shade is perfect for summer because the color is light peach. It doesn't have a scent, so it might not me so intriguing. You can also use it on the cheeks. The colorless one can also be used for heels, elbows and wherever your skin is very dry.

Labello Labellino Grapefruit & Maracuja

V nasprotju z PAWPAW balzamom, me je Labellino očaral, ker noro dobro diši po grenivki. Ima prav kisel vonj, zato bi ga kar pojedla. Labellino ima sicer lažjo teksturo in ni tako hranilen kot klasičen Labello, vendar te pač pakiranje očara.

In contrast to the PawPaw balm, Labellino impressed me with an amazing grapefruit scent. It actually smells a bit sour and makes me want to eat it. Though Labellino has a lighter texture than classic Labello balm, however the packaging is cute.

Živjo.

Kakšen mesec nazaj sem na Instagramu objavila fotografijo z izdelki, katere trenutno uporabljam za nego obraza. Ta tema še vedno ni stara, ker sem zvesta tem izdelkom (vsaj dokler jih ne porabim), vendar bom počasi vključila še kaj drugega. Odločila sem se, da z vami delim malce daljši zapis, zakaj so mi ti izdelki všeč. Naj omenim, da poleg teh izdelkov še uporabljam micelarno vodo, katero pa precej redno menjujem. Sedaj uporabljam Garnier Micellar Water, pred tem pa sem imela tudi La Roche Posay Ultra Micellar Water.

A month ago I uploaded a photo of my current skincare routine on my Instagram profile. I've been using only these products for a few months now, so I wanted to share with you, why I love them. When I use up some of them, I might try something new, since I'm a blogger and test products all the time. Besides the products you see on the picture, I also use micellar water to remove my makeup at first. Currently I use Garnier Micellar Water, but before that I used La Roche Posay Ultra Micellar Water.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel

Effaclar linija je posebej namenjena mastni in tudi težavni koži. Izdelki so tudi prilagojeni občutljivemu tipu kože. Ta gel sem uporabljala že pred leti, vendar se mi je takrat zdelo, da je preveč agresiven. Ta nova embalaža čistilnega gela pa mi ne povzroča nobenih težav. Prav všeč mi je. Prozoren gel se nežno speni in ima tudi nežen vonj. Po uporabi je koža dobro očiščena ter odstrani tudi ostanke ličil. Kože mi ne zateguje, vendar bi rekla, da vseeno ni primeren za suh tip kože, saj ni vlažilen (raje uporabite čistilno mleko). Skratka meni je ta gel super, ker se mi zdi enostaven, a res zelo dobro opravi svoje delo.

Effaclar line is specially made for troubled and oily skin. The products are also suitable for sensitive skin. I've used this foaming gel in the past but thought it was too drying. However, there seems to be a new formula or my skin changed. A clear gel foams up and has a gentle scent. It's gentle on the skin, however it even helps remove remaining makeup. It doesn't dry out my skin or give me a tightening feeling. Although if you have a drier skin, I would recommend something more hydrating (such as a cleansing milk). But I really do like this product because it's simple and works perfectly.

Lush Tea Tree Water

Lushevim tonikom sem zvesta že več let. Preprosto ustrezajo moji koži ter imajo preproste, minimalne sestavine. Ob uporabi drugih tonikov mi ni tako prijetno kot ob Lushevih. Tea Tree tonik s čajevcem uporabljam, ko opazim mozoljčke na koži. Kar hitro mi pomaga in je hkrati tudi nežen.

I've been using Lush toners for years now. They suit my skin and are quite simple when it comes to the ingredients. Tea Tree toner of course contains tea tree which is great for any imperfections. That's why I use it when my skin is troubled and I feel like it does really help me. Plus it adds that freshness.

Lush Eau Roma Water

Ta tonik pa je namenjen suhi ter občutljivi koži. Sama ga rada uporabljam tudi pred nanosom dnevne kreme. Se mi zdi, da mi lepo pomiri kožo ter daje občutek svežine.

And this toner is suitable more for dry and sensitive skin. I apply it before daily cream or when my skin is a bit stressed since it calms it down and gives you a fresh feeling.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat

O tej matirni kremi sem se razpisala tukaj na blogu. Kot vidite trenutno uporabljam kar nekaj Effaclar izdelkov. Verjetno sem že milijon krat omenila, da mi lekarniška kozmetika res ustreza, še najbolj pa ti LRP izdelki saj ob njihovi uporabi res opazim razlike na koži. Effaclar Mat krema mi je všeč, ker zgladi kožo ter jo matira brez zategovanja. Sicer vsebuje silikone (Dimethicone), kar morda komu maši pore, vendar jaz z njimi v tej kremi nimam težav.

There's a post about this cream already on my blog here. As you can see I use a lot of Effaclar products. That's because my skin seems to really like pharmacy cosmetics. And with LRP products I really notice a difference. I really like Effaclar Matt because it smooths the skin and gives you a matt look without tightening feeling. It does contain silicons (Dimethicone), which can block your pores, however I don't have trouble with it.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+]

To kremico pa uporabljam, ko se mi naredijo izbruhi ali pa vidim neke spremembe na koži; včasih imam tudi kakšne pikice na koži in ni gladka. Se mi zdi, da mi ta krema kar hitro pomaga saj vsebuje salicilno kislino. Tekstura je lahkotna in se hitro vpije. Hkrati pa uravnava izločanje sebuma.

Another cream which comes in handy when my skin gets breakouts. This one helps diminish imperfections and make them disappear quicker. Plus it helps with any weird bumps on the skin which aren't pimples but are still somewhere under the skin. The main ingredient that helps is Salicylic  Acid. Texture is very light and absorbs quickly. Plus it helps regulate the oils.

L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Ultra Thirst-Quenching Cream

In še nazadnje krema, katera najbolj vlaži mojo kožo. Čeprav gre za gosto kremo, se res lepo vpije in ni mastna. Res je vlažilna in moja koža zgleda lepo sijoča. Verjetno jo bom precej pogrešala, saj jo bo kmalu zmanjkalo. Več tukaj.

And lastly, this is my night time cream which I love for really hydrating my skin. At first it seems thick, however it absorbs nicely and isn't greasy. I feel like it's nicely rich and it really does hydrate my skin. My skin looks plump and healthy afterwards. I will probably really miss it after using it up soon. Read a whole post here.

Živjo punce.

Mesec in pol nazaj sem začela uporabljati novo dnevno kremo. La Roche Posay Effaclar linija mi je zelo poznana, ker sem že veliko izdelkov preizkusila, vendar sem še vedno imela na listi želja tole matirno kremo. Po tem, ko sem porabila vse moje dnevne kreme je seveda bil čas za novo. Moj tip kože je kombiniran do masten. Sicer je včasih povrhnjica dehidrirana, ampak vlaženje nadoknadim v večerni rutini. Zjutraj in pred nanosom ličil pa najraje uporabim matirno kremo, da se čez dan ne svetim tako in je nanos ličil tudi lažji. Nisem pa ljubiteljica podlag oz. primerjev za ličila, ker pogosto ne delujejo vredu z mojim tipom kože ter mojim pudrom.

Hi girls.

A month and a half back, I started using this new face cream. I've tried so many things from LRP Effaclar range and this one has been on my wishlist for a long time. I actually used up all of my mattifying day creams and it was time to try a new one. My skin is combination to oily. I know it lacks a bit of hydration (which I compensate with my rich night routine), however in the morning before I apply my makeup I need a mattifying moisturizer which doesn't make my skin greasy and makes applying the makeup easier. I'm not much of a fan of primers because sometimes they don't work with my skin and foundation combination.

Tekstura kremice me spominja na silikonske primerje, vendar ni tako gosta. Razlog za teksturo je seveda Dimethicone (silikon). Če imate probleme s silikoni v izdelkih za obraz ter vam mašijo pore; potem ne priporočam te kremice, drugače pa jo brez problema preizkusite. Sama nimam problema s tem in mi kremica ni mašila por. Ima nežen vonj, ki kar hitro izgine na koži. Po obrazu se krema enostavno razporedi in učinek je matirana koža, brez zategovanja. Prav tako je na dotik zelo mehka in pore so na videz malo manjše. Sicer ne daje vlažilnega občutka, ampak je kremica popolna za kasnejši nanos ličil. Po njej se ne svetim tako hitro, ampak še vedno se moja olja naravno proizvajajo, tako da jih ne prepreči popolnoma. To mi je čisto vredu, saj sem se sprijaznila da moja koža izgleda malce bolj sijoča po nekaj urah, vendar to izgleda lepo naravno in zdravo. Ni tako, kot da bi se polila z oljem. Če pa je olj na koži že preveč pa uporabim matirne lističe.

Krema vsebuje tudi malo salicilne kisline, ki pa pripomore k odpravi nepravilnosti, tako da je primerna tudi za nečisto kožo. Sicer sestavine niso najboljše, vendar moji koži krema ustreza, zato mi je všeč. Hkrati morem omenit, da imam zelo rada lekarniško kozmetiko, ker me običajno ne razočara.

The texture reminds me of silicon primers but it's not that thick. That is because it contains Dimethicone. If you struggle with silicon ingredients and they clog your pores, stay away from it. Otherwise, I would recommend you trying it, because I had no trouble with it even using it on daily basis. It has a very gentle scent which disappears quickly. The texture makes the cream spread very easily on the skin and it leaves a mattifying effect without being drying or tightening. On the touch the face feels very soft and pores look a bit smaller. It doesn't give you a hydrating effect, however it's perfect for applying makeup later on. When using this cream I don't get shiny that quickly, however my skin still produces oils, so it's not mattified all day long. This I don't mind because when I get oily after a few hours, I think it looks like a healthy natural skin. It doesn't look like I drowned myself in oil. But if I think there's too much shine, I just use blotting papers.

Cream also contains a bit of salicylic acid which helps with impurities, so it's good to use even on spotty skin. I know it doesn't contain the best ingredients, however if it works for my skin, I love it. I'm kinda very drawn to Pharmacy cosmetics because it works for me.

Živjo punce.

Tukaj je drugi del favoritov leta 2018. Moja najljubša ličila leta 2018 si lahko ogledaš ter prebreš tukaj. Danes pa sledi nega obraza, telesa in podobno...

Hi girls. 

This is the second part of my favorites for 2018. Previously I wrote about my favorite makeup in 2018, which you can read here. And today I'll talk some more about skincare, body and other favorites...

L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Water Gel Cleanser

Ta čistilni gel za umivanje obraza je bil res čudovit. Prijetno nežen, ampak učinkovit. Imel je res prijeten nežen vonj, zato sem ga najraje uporabljala zjutraj. Sicer je tudi ostanke ličil dobro odstranil ampak nekako mi je najbolj bil všeč za jutra. Najboljše mi je bilo, ker ne izsuši kože. Tudi to, da je doziranje bilo na pumpico mi je bilo zelo všeč. Sicer je res drag in dvomim, da bi si ga še enkrat privoščila sama, ampak sem tako uživala v uporabi. Več si lahko preberete v objavi tukaj.

I loved this cleansing gel. It was very pleasant to use because it was gentle but effective. The scent was very mild, so I used it mostly in the morning. However, it also removed all the remaining makeup off of my face when I used it at night. I mostly liked how gentle it was because it didn't dry out my skin. Plus the pump was very handy. It is an expensive face wash, so I doubt I will repurchase it, however I enjoyed it a lot. You can read more about it here.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash

Še en čistilni gel, ki se mi je zdel res dober. Tega sem uporabljala bolj po odstranjevanju ličil in mi je bil zelo všeč. Res se je dobro spenil ter odstranil še zadnje vidne ostanke maskare. Do kože je bil precej nežen in ni imel močnega vonja. Po spiranju mi kože tudi ni zategovalo. Dodaten plus pa je to, da je bil na pumpico. Tudi micelarna voda iz te linije mi je bila všeč.

Another face wash that I loved but this one is a lot cheaper. I used it mostly for taking off the rest of my makeup since it's based on micellar water. It foamed up very well and I noticed it helped with removing the rest of my stubborn mascara. On the skin it was quite gentle and I didn't notice that it would be drying. Plus the scent wasn't strong either. Another plus goes to the packaging with a pump, I very much appreciate that. I also liked the actual micellar water from this line.

L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Ultra Thirst-Quenching Cream

Še en izdelek iz novejše L'Occitane linije. Tole kremico uporabljam kot nočno, saj je moja koža čez dan bolj mastna. Gosta tekstura se hitro vpije v kožo in ne daje lepljivega občutka. Kožo pa res dobro nahrani. Sicer bi rekla, da je bolj primerna za dehidrirano kožo ter ne suho (če potrebujete masla in olja). Kljub redni uporabi se je ne porabi toliko. Več tukaj.

Again with a product from this newer line from L'Occitane. I used this face cream as my night moisturizer since my skin gets quite oily during the day. The thicker texture actually sinked into the skin very fast and didn't leave any sticky residue behind. And it left my skin feeling nicely hydrated. I would say that it is made for dehydrated skin (like mine) but not for very dry skin (especially if you need more oils and butters). Even with a regular use, I didn't use it up yet. More about it here.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

Končno sem si kupila to olje za mozoljčke. Tea Tree linijo sem prej že preizkusila in mi je kar všeč, to olje pa je sedaj zmagalo. Olje čajevca je na splošno znano, da pomaga pri zaviranju mozoljčkov saj deluje antibakterijsko. Jaz si tole olje dam na vsak mozoljček posebej s pomočjo vatirane palčke in zjutraj ali že čez nekaj ur je opazna razlika. Mozolj posuši ter prepreči nadaljnjo nastajanje. Porabi se ga malo in je res tisti rešilni izdelek. Meni je še bolj všeč saj lahko na obrazu uporabim željene izdelke za nego, s tem oljem pa se fokusiram samo na mozoljčke.

Finally I bought this little oil for the pimples. I've tried some products from TBS Tea Tree line and I liked them, however this oil is a winner. Tea tree oil is known for being antibacterial, so it's great at preventing and getting rid of the pimples. I use it with a cotton swab to put it onto separate pimples and even in a few hours or in the morning I noticed a difference. It dries up the pimples and stops them from developing. This little bottle lasts a really long time, so it's totally worth the money. Plus I love it that I can use my regular skincare on my face and then just with this oil focus on imperfections.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Wet Skin Gel SPF 50+

Moja najljubša krema za sončenje tega leta. Spet gredo hvale LRP kozmetiki, ker njihovi izdelki res delujejo. Ta sončna krema je vodoodporna in ima SPF kar 50+. Tole je seveda zelo pomembno, če imaš tako belo kožo kot jaz in te sonce takoj opeče. Ob uporabi te kreme me na morju v 8 dneh ni niti malo opeklo in moja koža izgleda zdravo. Sicer, če je naneseš malo več, imaš na koži rahel sloj, vendar sploh ni tako mastna kot klasične kreme za sončenje. Zdi se mi res kvalitetna in ko grem spet na morje, si bom mogla omislit novo embalažo. Celotno objavo lahko prebereš tukaj.

My favorite and maybe even the best sunscreen I've ever used. Again thanks to LRP cosmetics because their products really do work. This sunscreen is waterproof and has an SPF of 50+. If you're pale as me, you know that SPF is very important. I get sunburned very easily and using this cream for 8 days I didn't get burned at all. After vacation I didn't look much tanned, however my skin was healthy. I like the texture of this cream because it spreads easily without leaving white traces. Sometimes if you put a bit much on, it would leaves residue, however in comparison to other sun creams it wasn't greasy at all. I think it has a great quality and next time I go on summer vacation, I need to buy another one. Read more about it here.

Rexona Invisible Anti-Perspirant Active Protection +

Našla sem moj novi najljubši deodorant. Sem sicer uporabnica Rexona že nekaj let. Edino kaj mi pri njihovih dezodoranti ni všeč, je to, da se ven razprši kar močna meglica ob kateri se kar dušim, ker imajo tudi močne vonje. Tale neviden Active Protection pa ni takšen. Ima prijeten nežen pudrast vonj, ki ni moteč. Tako se brez problema našpricam tudi v zaprti kopalnici. Hkrati pa je tudi zelo obstojen in me zaščiti ves dan tudi ob večjih aktivnostih.

I found my new favorite deodorant. I've been using Rexona for quite a few years now. The only thing Rexona sprays I don't like is that each one of them has a very strong scent and the spray is so strong that I choke on it each time I use them. This one is different. It has a nice gentle powdery scent and I can spray it even in a closed bathroom and have no trouble breathing normally. At the same time it is very long lasting and keeps me stinky free for a long time even with doing bigger activities.

The Body Shop Mango Body Yogurt

Sicer sem letos preizkusila kar nekaj losjonov za kožo, vendar me prepričajo le redki. Rada imam zelo bogate losjone, ki dejansko nahranijo kožo ali pa tudi take, ki jih naneseš na kožo ter se takoj vpijejo in se lahko oblečeš. No, tale jogurt za telo od The Body Shop-a je ravno takšen. Ima prijetno gelasto teksturo, ki se enostavno nanaša ter se takoj vpije v kožo. Tale ima še vonj po mangu, ki je res njami. Sicer kože ne navlaži vrhunsko, ampak mi je všeč, da v tistem trenutku občutim, da je koža malce nahranjena in lahko grem naprej z dnevnimi opravili. Več tukaj.

I think I've tried quite a few body lotions this year, however I'm very picky with them. I either like very rich body butters/lotions which really hydrate the skin or I prefer the ones which sink in right away so you can immediately put on the clothes. That's exactly how this body yogurt is like. It has a gel like texture which spreads easily and sinks in right away. Plus it smells like mango, which is so yummy. The skin is immediately hydrated, however the effect doesn't last a long time since it's so lightweight. But I like that I can continue doing my tasks right away. More here.

4Kids and Us Black Shampoo

Za testiranje tega šampona za lase sem odlašala, ker sem imela doma precejšnjo zbirko šamponov (ja, še zdaj imam kakšnega odveč na zalogi). In ne obžalujem nakupa. Sicer me malce zmoti, da se šampon ne speni tako dobro in ga moreš kar fajn podrgnit po mokrih laseh, vendar deluje precej dobro. Moje mastne lase res dobro očisti in niso hitro mastni. Ima nežen vonj, ki pa ni nič posebnega. Meni je tudi super, da je brez embalaže. Več podrobnosti si lahko prebereš tukaj.

I was putting of purchasing this shampoo because my stash at home was too big (I still own an extra shampoo here and there). However I'm so happy I finally bought it. Firstly I'm a bit annoyed that it doesn't foam up that well, but it's a natural shampoo so that's expected from it. However, it works great. It cleanses my oily hair very well and they don't get greasy fast. It has a gentle scent which is nothing special. But mostly it's great that it's packaging free. Read more about it here.

Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline

In še za konec ena dišava. V sodelovanju s Spleticna.si sem si jo izbrala glede na opis, ker imam rada bolj sveže vonje. In sem bila zelo vesela, da je popolnoma po mojem okusu. Je res osvežilen vonj, z rahlim pridihom cvetlic. Če ne marate citrusnih vonjev, potem žal ne bo za vas, ampak ima Bvlgari v tej liniji še veliko drugih vonjev. Meni je res prijeten vonj, ampak kakor je značilno za sveže vonje (in ker je toaletna voda), se hitreje razdiši. Se mi pa zdi, da tudi na moji koži parfumi res niso dobro obstojni, saj se zadnje čase tudi močne parfumske vode na meni kar razdišijo.

And the last product is a perfume. In collaboration with Spleticna.si I picked a perfume based on description because I liked fresher scents. Luckily I was happy with a choice because it's totally up my taste. It's a very clean, refreshing scent with a touch of flowers. If you're not a fan of citrus scents, this one won't be for you, however Bvlgari has many other scents in this range. I love this scent but as it is typical for fresh scents, they don't last a long time. Though this is also EDT. I do think I have trouble with perfumes because even strong, real perfumes don't last a long time on me.

Afrodita Cosmetics Orange Cream shower gel

I got this shower gel quite a long time ago. It has a nice creamy texture and it smells like Jaffa cakes or some orange sweets. Also it contains little pieces of cocoa. It was a really nice one but nothing extremely special.

Repurchase: maybe

Dvorec Trebnik Bubble Bath Lavender

I love bubbles and relaxing in the bath. Lvender is supposed to be very calming and soothing. I'm not a fan of it but in a bubble bath it was quite nice. I mixed it with any other scent though. It created nice bubbles but nothing outstanding. It was nice though.

Repurchase: not sure

Balea After Sun Shower gel

This shower gel is a must for summer time. It cleanses your skin off any chlorine and salt while it also soothes the skin which has been on the sun all day long. It has a coconuty scent to it, which is very summery. I do really like it.

Repurchase: yes

Balea Shower & Oil pearls

I got this shower gel because it's supposed to have oil pearls in it and my skin needed some hydration. I didn't see any major difference in dryness of my skin, but at the end I fell in love with the scent. It was very peachy, fruity and refreshing.

Repurchase: maybe

La Roche Posay Effaclar Ultra Micellar Water - Sensitive Skin & Micellar Water Oily Skin

I loved these Micellar Waters. To be exact, I cannot tell the difference between the sensitive one and the one for oily skin. They're very effective and remove even a stubborn, ultra black mascara. My eyes don't get irritated and the skin loves them. After switching to other makeup removers I've realized that these have been one of the best micellar waters I've used. Plus I have love for LRP skincare since everything I try, is very gentle to the skin and usually works. I know the prices is a bit steep but if you have troubled or sensitive skin, you might wanna try any of these. Read a full review here.

Repurchase: yes

CadeVera Lotion Eye Make-Up Removing Pads

I buy these for any trips. I've had the ones with oil solution but now I tried the lotion version. They're not the best since they can smear your mascara a bit and it takes time to take it off. Plus they do irritate my eyes sometimes. Though they're really convenient, being already soaked and nicely packaged. 

Repurchase: maybe

Jessa Intimate Wash - Sensitive

Some bloggers have raved about this intimate wash, so of course I had to try it. Some also use it for the face. But I used it the original way and it was a nice wash. All though I didn't notice anything special. It doesn't have any fragrance to it, which I liked.

Repurchase: maybe

Afrodita Cosmetics Body Mousse

This body mousse was so lovely. It's a body lotion with a texture of a mousse which is fun to use but at the same time it absorbs very quickly which I love. It's perfect when you are in a hurry or don't want to wait for the lotion to sink in. It's scented with strawberries and omg it's an amazing scent. The only thing I didn't like about it, is the small red pearls which are supposed to dissolve when you're massaging the mousse into your body. Sometimes it would take some time for them to dissolve and would leave a bit of a stain behind. But other than that I loved it.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Invisible Anti-Perspirant Active Protection +

I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying this one, it is now my winner. I always choose the ones for black and white clothing. This one lasts even longer and acts even more when you get active. I mostly also love this one for the scent because it's kind of a powdery one and out of all other Rexona deodorants, this one doesn't make me choke on it.

Repurchase: already have

Rexona Invisible Anti-Perspirant spray Aqua

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a long time. Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though and sometimes I choke on how powerful the scent and mist is.

Repurchase: always

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Tropical scent

My favorite Batiste scent - it's just so nice, literally tropical, coconuty. I really like Batiste dry shampoos even tough they're not transparent, so they still leave a white residue, however they're kind of better than all the other ones.

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 a bit thinner, but they totally work and I love them. They don't separate or anything, so it's easy to use them.
Repurchase: yes (always)

Blistex Conditioning Lip Balm

I switched to this lip balm for a while because I got too bored of Labello Classic. And it was nice and not too greasy. I love it a while back and I still think it's a nice one. Though I'm back to Labello because in these cold days it seems to hydrate my lips the best.

Repurchase: maybe

Vichy Quenching Mineral Mask

I've received these new Vichy masks but it took me a while to try them. I did love this one. It's nicely hydrating with a clear gel texture. I cannot say that it would be good for long term but when you need some extra hydration, it is very nice.

Purchase: maybe

Nivea Q10 Anti Age Hand cream

At the moment I'm very lost at the hand cream department as each one of the ones I own, just don't work for me. All though this is the only one that I can say, works very good. It's a bit thicker but dries down quickly and is not greasy at all. But mostly it hydrates my hands the best. Also love the scent.

Repurchase: yes

Biotherm Biosource Foaming Cleanser

This is a thick mousse cleanser. It turns into a creamy consistency when mixed with water. It's not extremely foamy but it cleanses the skin deeply without leaving it extra dry. I did like it a lot but it's quite an expensive product.

Repurchase: no

CadeaVera Cleansing Face Wipes

I featured these in "Disapointing products" post. So of course I hated these. Somewhere on the packaging it says they're suitable even for sensitive skin. But oh my, they sting your eyes and skin. I don't usually have problems with irritation but these were absolutely horrendous. Also they're very soaked and smells just very artificial so they're very bad. At the end I used them for swatches, just to not throw them away.

Repurchase: hell no

Hi girls.

I'm back from vacation and am motivated to get back into blogging. I love beauty and I just need to start talking more about the things I really love. Summer months for me are not much about experimenting with my makeup and I wear less of it, so I don't want to repeat myself all the time about what I wear on my face. I found that I am using a lot of my yearly favorites, which you can find here. But for now, let's see what I discovered previous month and there are also some products that I gladly took with me on vacations.

Živjo punce.
Sedaj, ko sem nazaj iz poletnega oddiha, sem motivirana, da spet bolj redno pišem na blogu, saj rada delim lepotne izdelke nad katerimi sem navdušena. Hkrati pa poleti nisem nosila kaj veliko makeupa, ker je bilo res zelo vroče in zato nisem eksperimentirala z njim. Moja trenutno najljubša ličila pa lahko najdete v objavi tukaj. V tej objavi pa vam bom opisala nekaj izdelkov, ki so me navdušili v prejšnjem mesecu in sem jih z veseljem vzela tudi s seboj na potovanje.

Clinique Moisture Surge
This product is so hyped up but I never really had a chance to try it until I received this small sample. I took it with me on vacation and have loved it. It has a true gel texture which I never tried before. You can use quite a big amount of it, but it won't feel sticky or greasy. It sinks in quite quickly and skin feels hydrated right away. It's just a bit different from other moisturizers and I like it a lot. Though I will probably save it for later because I need to use up some other moisturizers.

Ta krema za obraz je kar opevana v lepotnem svetu. Sem si jo želela kar nekaj časa preizkusiti in nato sem končno dobila en manjši vzorec. Vzela sem jo na morje in me je kar očarala. Ima teksturo gela, kar je precej drugače za kremo za obraz. Lahko jo naneseš kar veliko, ampak ne pusti lepljivega ali mastnega občutka. V kožo se kar hitro vpije in takoj pusti občutek vlaženja. Nekako je drugačna od drugih krem in mi je res všeč. Sicer pa bom ta vzorec shranila še za kasneje saj morem najprej porabiti ostale kreme za obraz.

Essie - Blanc

This is my favorite white nailpolish. I actually like to use it on my feet in the summer, because I'm just too lazy to put it on my hands. It lasts such a long time and it is a perfect formula. It has a nice brush which is not to thick and the formula is so opaque and not gloopy. I use two coats and my toe nails are then looking perfect. Plus, white on the toes makes you look more tanned and is a bit of a refreshment.

Tole je moj najljubši bel lak za nohte. Sicer sem za mazanje nohtov na rokah zelo lena, pa si poleti vedno mažem nohte na nogah. In skoraj vedno imam na nohtih ta lak. Res ima fajno formulo, ker ni tako gost ampak je lepo prekriven. Sama nanesem dva sloja in nanos izgleda popoln. Bel lak za nohte pa daje videz malce bolj zagorele kože in deluje tako sveže.

Anthelios XL Clean Touch Anti-Shine (non-perfumed dry touch gel-cream) - SPF 50+

Tole je krema za zaščito obraza. Ima priročno pumpico s katero enostavno dozirate kremo. Sicer je tekstura gostejša kot sem si predstavljala, vendar ob nanosu na kožo in ko jo razmažeš, se nekako suši in imaš pod prsti bolj suh občutek zato jo moreš hitro razmazati. Je proti lesku, kar je meni še bolj všeč zato ker imam bolj mastno kožo in so mi vse kreme za zaščito obraza premastne. To me odvrne tudi od uporabe zaščite proti soncu na obrazu, zato običajno posežem po tekočih podlagah z SPF. Tole LRP kremico pa z veseljem uporabljam tudi pod ličili. Uporabila sem jo tudi na prečki, na lasišču, ker ni mastna in ne želim da mi tam zmasti lase, hkrati pa mi sonce zelo hitro opeče lasišče.

Krema je prav tako brez vonja ter je vodoodporna. 

This face sunscreen comes with a pump which is really handy for dispensing the cream. The texture is a bit thicker than I imagined, however when you apply it and rub it into the skin, it starts to dry down and feels even dry under the fingers. It is anti-shine which is perfect for my oily skin. I usually hate sunscreens because they are all so oily and sticky, so I usually opt for a foundation with SPF, however this one is quite great for me and I like using it under my makeup. I also used it on my hairline where I usually get sunburned easily but I don't want to have greasy hair. This cream is scent free and it also waterproof which is amazing.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Wet Skin Gel SPF 50+

In še sončna zaščita za celotno telo. Ta ima klasično pakiranje pri čemer mi to ni ravno najljubše, saj se na pokrovčku malce razlije in je nanašanje pacasto. Tekstura je sicer bolj lahkotna kot pri kremi za obraz ter se enostavno razmaže. Za seboj ne pušča belih lis ter se kar lepo posuši na koži. Ustvari zaščitni sloj, ki se sicer malce občuti, vendar je zato vodoodporna. Je brez dišav ter res dobro zaščiti kožo. Kjer sem izpustila kakšen predel na koži, me je vseeno opeklo, vendar nudi res dobro zaščito.

And a body sunscreen. It has a more conventional packaging which can be a bit messy on the lid. Though it has a lighter texture and is easily spread out. It doesn't leave any white marks and dries down quite quickly. It creates a film on the skin which is not sticky, however it really makes it waterproof. It is scent free and really protects the skin. Though if I left any areas without this cream, it burned me a bit. All in all it is a very nice protection from the sun.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Teint Mineral Corrective Compact Powder - 13 Sand Beige

Ta kompaktni puder sicer ni namenjen za zaščito obraza pred soncem, vendar vsebuje SPF 25, kar se mi osebno zdi super, saj se SPF redkeje nahaja v kompaktnih pudrih in pudrih v prahu. Odtenek Sand Beige je sicer malce temnejši od moje polti, vendar se kar lepo zlije s kožo, če ga dodam še malce po vratu in pa ko je moja koža malce rjava mi najbolje ustreza. Embalaža je super, ker ima veliko ogledalo in priročno gobico pod pudrom. Sama tekstura je kar mehka. Doda nekaj prekrivnosti, vendar ne kaj veliko. Na koži pa ustvari naraven videz, ne preveč pudrast in tudi ne popolnoma matt. Ni ravno za vsak dan, vendar je super, ko ne želim, da je moja koža popolnoma matirana. Sicer pa me najbolj navdušuje vsebovan SPF.

This compact powder isn't really made to be an only sun protection product you'll use, however I really appreciate the fact that it contains SPF. You can rarely find SPF in powder and compact products. The shade Sand Beige is a bit too dark for me, however if I put it down the neck, it will blend in easily, plus it doesn't oxidise throughout the day. It matches me better when I have some color to my skin. The packaging is great because it has a huge mirror and a sponge applicator under the powder. Texture is soft and it gives you some coverage. It creates a natural look, not too powdery and not completely matt. So I like to use it when I don't want my skin to be completely matt. Otherwise I love that it has a SPF.

Živjo punce.

Tudi v Sloveniji smo končno pričakali tako opevan tonik/sprej za obraz. Tuje blogerke so ga tako dolgo omenjale, vendar ga na naš trg ni bilo na spregled. Izdelek je namenjen predvsem mastni koži, s katero se soočam tudi sama in mastna T-cona je kar velika nadloga. Sama sem zelo kritična do izdelkov za matiranje kože, saj le redki res delujejo. Zato sem z veseljem testirala ta "čudežen" sprej. Ker izdelek testiram komaj 1 teden, z Vami danes delim prve vtise. 

Hi girls.

Another cult product which I'm sure you've heard of because of it being mentioned so many times on other blogs. Though it was not available in all countries, however in Slovenia, we finally have it. It's a spray, for oily, troubled skin. Which I have and greasy T-zone can really be annoying. That's why I like testing mattifying products and am very critical about them. Though again they might work different on you. Because I've been testing product only for about a week, these are some first thoughts I have on it...

Kaj sploh je ta čudežen izdelek?

Gre za adstrigentni tonik za mastno in problematično kožo. Pomirja draženje na površini kože (tudi po britju). Hkrati pa matira, prečiščuje ter uravnava sebum. Ter je brez parabenov. Vsebuje samo 3 sestavine: Voda, natrijev klorid, cinkov sulfat. Torej gre za raztopino cinkovega sulfata.

Uporaba: obraz očistite z izdelkom, primernim za mastno kožo, in nato popršite Serozinc. Med pršenjem zaprite oči. Počakajte nekaj minut, da se vpije, morebitni višek pa popivnajte z bombažno blazinico. Nato nanesite še prilagojeno nego za mastno kožo.

Ob pritisku, se iz embalaže razprši zelo fin prš in pokrije veliko površino obraza. Pri čemer zna biti malce moker, vendar se tekočina precej hitro vpije. Sama dobim občutek osvežitve in moja koža je pomirjena kar mi je še posebej pomembno, saj je zadnje čase precej razdražena.

Žal pa ne morem reči, da je moja koža povsem matirana in brez sijaja. Da, moja T-cona je malo manj mastna, vendar ima koža še vedno naraven sijaj in videz. Za popolno matiranost pa poskrbi moja dnevna krema, ki je zadnji korak v dnevni negi. Seveda se čez nekaj ur ponovno svetim.
Sprej lahko uporabiš tudi na vrh ličil, saj uravnava sebum, vendar pri meni spet ni tako opaznega učinka. Pa vendar mi je nekako sam koncept všeč, saj ne gre samo za vodo.

Na moji koži Serozinc ni pretirano matirajoč, vendar mi je super kot zelo preprost tonik, ki osveži ter pomiri kožo in jo pripravi na nadaljnjo nego. Priporočam uporabo zjutraj, saj čez noč ni priporočljivo matiranje kože. Prav tako opozarjam, da koža, ki jo venomer matiramo ali ji ne nudimo dovolj vlage, sama dela nasprotno in proizvaja še več olja. Zato prosim vsaj zvečer dajte na obraz dovolj kreme ali tudi kakšna olja, da se koža regenerira. Zjutraj pa je za ličila seveda potrebna malce bolj lahkotna nega, da se ne svetiš čez dan.

Cena: okoli 10€ za 150ml

So what is this product ?

Astrigent toner, specifically designed to target key signs of oily, blemish-prone skin. Skin looks and feels less shiny and greasy and mattified. How to use: pray onto skin after using a cleanser suitable for oily, blemish-prone skin. Close eyes while spraying. Leave to absorb for a few minutes, gently patting off any excess. Follow with a non-oily, non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) moisturiser. Also suitable for acne-prone skin. Ingredients Aqua/Water, Sodium Chloride, Zinc Sulphate.

Tin packaging sprays out a very fine mist, which is lovely as it covers the whole face without being too wet. Afterwards I wait for a minute so it absorbs. It gives me a refreshing and hydrating feeling. Plus it seems to be soothing. It does mattify my skin a bit, however it is not completely shine-free. Actually it just has that natural glow without being as oily as usual. I follow with mattifying cream which gives me the ultimate result. And again after a few hours I look a bit shiny. Of course I've also tried it on top of makeup which results in eliminating a powdery finish and taking away just a bit of that shine. 

To sum up, Serozinc is not as mattifying on my skin, however it is a good, simple toner with refreshing and soothing effect. I recommend using it as a part of morning skincare routine, because it is not that recommendable to use mattifying products at night. So, I have to also warn you that if you suffer from oily skin, please do not over-mattify it because when skin is too dehydrated it might produce even more oil. Rather than that, in the evening apply a good, non-comedogenic cream or even and oil to regenerate the skin. Thought in the morning use light-weight products for a nice base for makeup. 

Price: around 10€ / 150ml.

Effaclar Duo [+] SPF30

Tole je verjetno najbolj zanimiv in težko pričakovan izdelek. Že dolgo govorim o Effaclar Duo [+] kremi, saj mojo kožo vedno zelo dobro očisti nepravilnosti in mi je zelo všeč. Lani je LRP lansiral še obarvano kremo (Unifiant), za poletje pa so letos dodali še kremo z SPF30, kar je super saj je zaščita kože pred soncem zelo pomembna. Kakor celotna linija Effaclar Duo [+] krem, tudi ta vsebuje aktivne sestavine (Salicilna kislina) proti nepravilnostim. 

V primerjavi z original različico Effaclar Duo [+], ki ima zelo lahkotno teksturo, pa ima nova verjetno zaradi SPF30 gostejšo teksturo in je precej podobna klasični kremi za zaščito obraza pred soncem. Tole me je sicer malce zmotilo, vendar je ob nanosu na obraz druga zgodba. Kremo sama lepo razmažem, da jo dobro vtrem v kožo, nato pa počakam 10 minut da se vpije. Za tem obraz ni masten in brez problema nanesem tekočo podlago. Dobro se obnese na soncu saj kožo zaščiti. Uporabljala pa sem jo tudi na morju. Sicer si želim, da bi bila tekstura lažja, vendar mi vseeno ustreza in ne zamaši por. Pa vendar jo je najprej dobro preizkusit, saj morda ni za vsakogar.

Sicer LRP pravi, da to ni izdelek za zaščito pred soncem, vendar se meni ne zdi napačno, če ga uporabljam tako, v zmerni količini.

LRP added an exciting product to their existing DUO [+] creams. which has and SPF 30 - perfect for summer. This one as well contains Salicylic acid which clears up imperfections.

I liked the light texture of Effaclar Duo [+], however the SPF30 one has a thicker texture, similar to sun creams. It's not my favourite, however it performs nicely on my skin. I spread it nicely on the skin, making it sure it sinks in well and wait for about 10 minutes. Afterwards my skin is not sticky or greasy and I have no problem applying foundation on top of it. Plus it really does protect my face from the sun.

This cream might not be for everyone: it just depends on how you and your skin like the different texture. However it did not clog my pores.

LRP says that this is not a product for sun protection, however I still like using it instead of other sun creams for the face.

Novo micelarno vodo sem testirala že pred nekaj časa, vendar tisto za občutljivo kožo (objavo najdeš tukaj). Effaclar micelarna voda pa je namenjena predvsem mastni (občutljivi) koži, kakršno imam tudi sama. Gre za klasično tekočino z nežnim vonjem, ki pa res učinkovito odstrani ličila. Zelo dobro odstrani tudi nadležno maskaro ter ne draži oči. Na koži pa sicer nisem opazila razlike med to in micelarno vodo za občutljivo kožo.

I've tested the new edition of LRP Micellar water before (you can find a review here): for sensitive skin, however this time I tested the one for oily (and sensitive) skin - my type. It's a classic water with a gentle smell and it's very effective at removing my makeup. Mascara is removed with almost no effort and it's not irritating my eyes. However I did not notice any difference between this one and the one in white packaging - for sensitive skin.

Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel

Peneč, čistilni gel je dobil novo podobo oz. modro prozorno embalažo. Izdelek pa je po teksturi ostal enak ter je še zelo prijeten. Gost gel se zelo lepo speni in je za nanos potrebna le manjša količina. Zelo dobro očisti ostanke ličil, vendar kože pri tem ne izsuši. Namenjen pa je seveda bolj mastni koži. Všeč mi je tudi embalaža saj ima zelo majhno luknjico za doziranje, tako da se izdelek na zliva ven.

Another product I've tried before. However this time they've revamped it into a clear/blue package. It's a liquid gel type of product which foams up very nicely, using just a small amount. It cleanses deeply, removing the remaining makeup, without drying out my skin (i don't know how it performs on drier skin - though it's meant for oily skin). Another plus gets the packaging which has a tiny hole on the top, so the product doesn't spill.
