Živjo punce.

Spet en večji premor med objavami. Ta karantena pač ne vpliva dobro na mojo ustvarjalnost ali željo po tipkanju, ker se nič novega ne dogaja. Pa vendar mi je prišlo na misel, da vam danes predstavim moje najljubše podlage. Seveda so to tekoči pudri za mastno kožo, ker imam tak tip kože. Nekaj teh podlag boste našli v moji celotni zbirki tekočih podlag (tukaj). In ja, Dior in MAC podlago morem letos nujno porabiti, ker jima je rok uporabe potekel že en čas nazaj. Pa vendar se vonj in tekstura nista spremenila, zato sem ju obdržala. Pa preidimo na moje favorite tekočih podlag. Seveda je vsaka mastna koža tudi malce drugačna in morda ne bodo ustrezale vsaki koži. Jaz lahko rečem za te tekoče podlage, da jih bom uporabljala še naslednjih 10 let (če jih ne bodo dali iz prodaje)...

Hi girls.
It's been a while since I posted again. This quarantine is not doing anything good for boosting my creativeness but it's making me write even less. Well that's because nothing's been happening right now. Though I wanted to share my favorite foundations of all time. Some of them you can find in my foundation collection post (here). I know I should've thrown out Dior and MAC foundation, since they've probably been way past their expiration date. However the scent and texture are still the same, so they look all right. So let's see which are my favorite foundations. Keep in my that these for me are great for an oily skin - that's the type of my skin. I'm sure not every foundation works the same on everyone, but I still want to share what works great for me. And I would repurchase and use these foundations for 10 years or more (if they will not be discontinued) because I like them so much...

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 - Fair

Tole je hibrid negovalne kreme ter tekočega pudra v enem. Namenjena je korekciji kože (poenoti polt, izenači ten, zmanjša videz rdečice...). Tekstura je gostejša, penasta. Z Zoeva 102 Silk Finish čopičem  se zelo lepo in hitro zabriše. Odtenek Fair je za mojo kožo ravno dovolj svetel, vendar ni popoln. Pa vendar se nekako zlije (naj vas swatch na roki ne zavede, ker na obrazu ni tako temen). Najbolj mi je všeč, da na koži pusti lep naraven učinek. Ena pumpica je dovolj za celoten obraz. Za popolno prekrivnost priporočam dve pumpici. CC krema je lahkotna in čez dan je na koži ne občutim. Moja koža po nekaj urah izgleda bolj mastna kot pri uporabi Revlon Colorstay pudra, vendar me ne moti saj izgleda naravno. Prekrivnost se čez dan zmanjša, vendar podlaga ne razpade narazen. Super je, da ima SPF 40. Ni najbolj obstojna podlaga - je v osnovi CC krema. Pa vendar se za tak izdelek obnese zelo dobro in mi je za vsak dan zelo všeč, saj ne daje občutka maske. Priročna je tudi za potovanja, ker embalaža ni steklena. Sicer je precej dražja, vendar je meni res všeč. Celotno objavo  in več fotografij si lahko pogledate tukaj.

I've always wanted to try It Cosmetics CC cream but it was hard to get my hands on it, since they don't sell it in Slovenia. As you can see I've been loving it ever since I bought it, so it soon became my favorite and I used up quite a lot of it. It is a CC cream, so it is not as full coverage as a liquid foundation and has some cream properties. It has a thicker texture but it applies so nicely with Zoeva 102 Silk Finish brush. Shade Fair might not be perfect for my skin as it is a bit darker, however it still blends nicely. I mostly love this "foundation" because how lightweight it feels on the skin and has a beautiful natural finish - it's not too matt. It offers just enough coverage with one pumps, however for full coverage you need two pumps. As for longevity, after a whole day of wear, my skin tends to become more oily in comparison to Revlon Colorstay. But still, it doesn't break apart, the skin just looks a bit more shiny. Though coverage is fading a bit. I love it for everyday because it doesn't give me a mask feeling. That's why it soon became my favorite. Also the packaging is great for travel since it's not glass. Full review and more pictures here.

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation - 40 Light Ivory

Ta tekoča podlaga me je tako presenetila, da je po nekaj mesecih pristala med mojimi top tekočimi podlagami. Res stežka najdem tekoči puder, ki me res očara. Predvsem mi je padel v oči zelo svetel odtenek (na voljo je še svetlejši - 30 Porcelain) kar pri Max Factorju ne vidimo pogosto. Odtenek 40 je meni dovolj svetel in se lepo zlije s kožo. Tekstura je bolj tekoča, vendar je prekrivnost še vedno dobra: srednja. Pusti lep naraven, malce matirajoč izgled. Ko imam suho povrhnjico, tega ne poudari preveč ter ne zateguje kože. Na koži se obdrži ves dan, čeprav malce zbledi. Edino za poleti ne bo moja naj izbira, ker ne matira popolnoma. Več tukaj. 

This foundation is newer to my collection - I've had it for just a couple of months, but it has already slipped into my top 5 foundations. This foundation impressed me because when my epidermis got drier, everything emphasised the drier patches. However the texture of this foundation is lighter and it blends into the skin easier. I love that they have lighter shades available (there is also a paler one - 30 Porcelain) which is perfect for "Snow White" skin types. Coverage is not the best, but it's good enough for me (medium). The finish is natural and it stays on nicely for quite some hours with a bit of fading. Though I'm sure it won't be my favorite for summer because it's not matt enough.

Dior DiorSkin Forever - 010

Tole je verjetno najdražji puder v moji zbirki in ga preveč šparam. Letos ga morem porabit ali pa bo šel počasi v smeti zaradi roka uporabe. Sama embalaža je res čudovita, v matiranem steklu - čeprav mi je dvakrat padel na ploščice in se je steklo okrušilo. Podlaga je do srednje prekrivna in izgleda zelo lepo naravno na koži. Res jo olepša ter je na pol matt in sploh ne daje pudrastega izgleda. Prav tako lepo diši. Najsvetlejši odtenek je čisto malo pretemen za mojo kožo, vendar je kar vredu, če ga zmešam s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami.

Probably the most expensive foundation is this Dior one. I've been saving it too much, so I need to use it up, otherwise it will go into the trash since it's out of date. Even the packaging with frosted glass is amazing - thought I dropped it twice and it's cracked. It has medium coverage and looks very natural, not powdery at all. It is semi-matt so it won't stay on as long, however it is still great for oily skin. Basically I love it for the nice natural finish and it doesn't look oily on my skin. The lightest shade is tiny bit too dark for me, however I can mix it with lightening drops.

Hi girls.

I've decided to show you a few products I've been using lately to get a more perfected skin. Also there will be some tips included and I hope this post will be interesting for you. You can use these techniques even in winter, however at that time I seem to change up my makeup products. In summer months I stay away from heavy makeup but I want my skin to look as beautiful as possible. Which you can achieve with a reasonable amount of right makeup. Also summer is all about the glowy skin, though because I have oily type of skin, I don't go over the top with highlighting products. So let's see what I use..

Živjo punce.

Torat vam bom opisala izdelke in tehnike s katerimi lahko dosežem videz izpopolnjene kože. Upam, da vam bo zapis zanimiv. Te tehnike lahko uporabite tudi pozimi, vendar sama takrat spremenim izbor izdelkov. Poleti se tako izogibam močnemu videzu ličil vendar želim, da je koža videti lepo. To se doseže z določenim nanosom pravih ličil. Poleti se na veliko govori o sijočem videzu, vendar ker je moja koža že naravno precej mastna, se izogibam pretirani uporabi osvetljevalcev. Torej, poglejmo kaj uporabljam...

Firstly, for skincare it is very important to have a great routine with products that work for you. I try as much to keep my skin clear from any impurities. When my skin has much texture I use a face scrub to remove dead skin. I always use Lush Ocean Salt scrub, once every two weeks which seem to work fine for me. And cleansing is also very important. Before bed I always double cleanse (makeup remover, then gel cleanser). Then I use light skincare, which usually involves any serum that I have in rotation at the moment. In the morning I keep it simple and only cleanse my face. I always use a cream before applying my makeup and wait for it to sink in. If I know pimple is coming through, I always apply some of the Tea Tree Oil drops from The Body Shop. Also Tea Tree Water toner from Lush is a saviour when having breakouts. 

Najprej je seveda zelo pomembna nega kože in da imate dobro rutino z izdelki, ki vam ustrezajo. Sama skušam kožo čim bolje negovati, da je čista in brez nepravilnosti. Tako, ko zaznam, da je tekstura kože čudna, posežem po pilingu, da odstranim odmrle delce. Vsaka dva tedna uporabim Lushev Ocean Salt piling, saj mi je najljubši. Zvečer pa si obraz vedno dvakrat čistim (najprej odstranim ličila, nato še uporabim čistilo v gelu). Sledi pa lahka nega obraza, tako uporabim kakšen serum, ki ga imam takrat v rotaciji. Zjutraj pa si samo lepo očistim obraz in je moja nega bolj preprosta. Pred nanosom ličil vedno nanesem kremo za obraz ter počakam nekaj minut. Kadar pa vem, da se mi bo naredil mozoljček, uporabim The Body Shop: Tea Tree Oil kapljice. Tudi Lushev Tea Tree Water tonik je moj najljubši za nečist kožo.

Now onto the makeup. For base I keep it light because when being in a warm environment, I think my makeup gets cakey if there's too much product on it. I often use Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base in the shade 02 Champagne which gives a natural glow and prepares my skin for the next step. For foundation I still use Revlon Colorstay (150 Buff), which is medium coverage, but for this look I use a smaller amount, just to swipe it all over the face. Then I would focus on the areas which need extra coverage. There I would use Bourjois Radiance Reveal. That concealer is amazing because it provides medium coverage but it's light weight and doesn't crease. Also it's hydrating (Hyaluronic Acid) without looking cakey. For more coverage I would use: Lancôme Effacernes Longue Tenue Concealer. The key part here is to blend everything together using a wet makeup sponge. This little one from Real Techniques (Mini Eraser Sponge) is amazing for concealer and blending in areas. I still set my makeup with Rimmel Stay Matte! powder, but I use a smaller amount, to not look cakey.

In k ličenju...Podlaga naj bo čim lažja saj so poleti ličila lahko precej težka in dajejo pudrast videz, če jih nanesemo preveč. Velikokrat najprej nanesem Clarins Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion bazo v odtenku 02 Champagne, saj mi daje svež videz in pripravi kožo na naslednji korak. Še vedno uporabljam Revlon Colorstay tekoči puder, ki ima srednjo prekrivnost, vendar ga poleti nanesem majhno količino, ravno toliko, da prekrijem cel obraz. Nato se osredotočim na področja, ki potrebujejo več prekrivanja. Pri tem uporabim korektor Bourjois Radiance Reveal, kateri nudi srednjo prekrivnost in je tako lahkoten, da ga na koži ni opaziti. Prav tako je vlažilen saj vsebuje hialuronsko kislino. Za področja, ki potrebujejo res odlično prekrivnost pa uporabim Lancôme Effacernes Longue Tenue korektor. Ključni del pa je zabrisovanje z mokro gobico za nanos ličil. Tale od Real Techniques je super za zabrisovanje korektorja ter detajlov. Celoten makeup zaključim z Rimmel Stay Matte! pudrom v kamnu, katerega nanesem na rahlo, da videz ni pudrast.

For highlighting I am obsessed with Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid in the shade Opal. I apply a few dots on top of my cheeks and on my brow bone and then just blend out with finger. The finish is very natural and not too shimmery. Plus it adds that needed summer glow. I might also put it onto my eyelids. And then I focus on bronzing, which I'm back to Benefit Hoola Bronzer. It is just so easy to use as the powder is very fine and doesn't look patchy on the skin. I use a small amount because it's really pigmented and my skin is so pale. I would also use it in the crease of my eyelids.

Trenutno sem obsedena z Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid osvetljevalcem v odtenku Opal. Na vrh lic ter pod obrvi nanesem nekaj pikic katere zabrišem s prsti. Ključni izgled je zelo naraven ter ne bleščičast. S tem osvetljevalcem dosežem takšen lep, poleten sijaj. Lahko pa ga naneseš tudi na veke. Nadaljujem z uporabo bronzerja. Spet sem obsedena z Benefit Hoola bronzerjem. Ta doda ključen poleten videz zagorelosti. Ker sem zelo svetla, ga uporabim narahlo, pa vendar s tem dodam obrazu nekaj "življenja". Včasih ga uporabim tudi v pregibu vek oči.

I keep the eyes simple and just use DiorShow: Pump'n'Volume mascara which gives me amazing, fake-looking lashes. And finish off my brows with some Golden Rose brow mascara. For the lips I use just a simple creamy lipstick. My go to nude is MAC: Faux. Of course every makeup has to be finished with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to blend the makeup together, eliminate the powdery look and make it last all day long.

Oči pustim enostavne ter samo uporabim DiorShow - Pump'n'Volume maskaro, katera mi daje nor videz umetnih trepalnic. Na obrvi pa nanesem Golden Rose Brow Color Tinted Eyebrow maskaro. Za ustnice želim, da so videti čim bolj kremaste, zato nanesem tudi temu primerno vlažilno ali kremasto šminko. Moj najljubši "nude" odtenek je trenutno Faux, znamke MAC. Vsak videz pa ni popoln brez Urban Decay All Nighter spreja. Ta odstrani pudrast videz, pripomore k temu, da se ličila na koži lepše zlijejo in so obstojna dalj časa.

Živjo punce.

Odločila sem se, da Vam pokažem mojo zbirko tekočih pudrov katera se je v zadnjih dveh letih občutno povečala. Z Vami bom delila kateri tekoči pudri so moji najljubši in kateri mi niso priljubljeni (seznam si sledi po tem vrstnem redu). Ta objava bo najbolj v pomoč tistim, ki imate mešano do mastno kožo (kakor jaz), saj večinoma uporabljam pudre, ki so primerni samo za moj tip kože. Tu in tam pa testiram tudi kakšnega drugačnega. Veliko pudrov žal morem mešati s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami (sploh pozimi), ker imam zelo svetlo/porcelanasto polt. V moji zbirki je še nekaj BB in CC krem, vendar teh ne bom omenjala danes. Začela bom kar z mojimi štirimi najljubšimi pudri. Prijetno branje ;)...

Hi girls ! 
Finally I decided to show you my whole foundation collection. It has grown quite frankly in last two years. This post goes in order from my most used/loved foundations to the least favorite ones. It will be mostly helpful to the girls with combination/oily skin (which I have), though I test a few different foundations from time to time. A lot of them I also need to lighten up with TBS lightening drops because my skin is very pale/porcelain. I do own a few BB & CC creams which I won't mention today. So, have a nice read ;)

Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily - 150 Buff

Na vrhu seznama je seveda ta puder. Uporabljam ga verjetno že 8 let. Pred tem nisem vedela kakšen puder sploh morem jaz uporabljati, saj imam bolj mastno kožo. In takrat sem imela še izbruhe mozoljčkov, tako da je ta postal moj najljubši. To pa zato, ker je dobro prekriven. Čeprav so ga z leti razredčili in zdaj ni več tako prekriven. Hkrati pa ne zdrsi z obraza in se ne svetim hitro. Včasih maši pore, ampak si na koncu dneva res dobro globinsko očistim kožo, da ne ostane v porah. Odtenek Buff je super zame, saj imam rumen podton, vendar bi lahko bil še svetlejši. Obstaja tudi različica za suho kožo.

This has been my all time favorite foundation and I don't know what I'll do if one day they discontinue it. I've been using it for about 8 years. I am glad I discovered it when I had no idea what foundation I was supposed to be using on my oily skin. Plus at that time I had some pimples. I love it because it has a nice coverage (it used to really be full coverage, though it has been reformulated) and it has long staying power. Plus I don't get greasy quickly. It could clog your pores, however I make sure, I deeply cleanse my pores.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid - NW13

Za ta puder sem najprej mislila, da mi je dekle v trgovini prodalo napačen odtenek, vendar sem ugotovila, da so očitno pri MAC-u zmedeni glede tonov. Sama sem zelo svetla in bi pričakovala da mi bo ponudila najmanjšo številko: 10, vendar pri liniji NW, 10-ka izgleda zelo roza, medtem ko je NW13 zelo bež in super za nevtralen podton (takšni so tudi opisi na spletu). Hkrati pa mi je zato žal malce pretemen. To rešujem s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami. Ima dobro prekrivnost (se da nagraditi do visoke prekrivnosti), vendar se po njem svetim hitreje kot po Revlon Colorstayu. Sicer pa mi je všeč kako izgleda na koži. Hranim ga predvsem za posebne priložnosti, saj je dražji. Vem, morala bi ga večkrat uporabiti. Oceno pudra si lahko ogledate tukaj. MAC izdelke pa lahko sedaj kupite tudi v Sloveniji (Citypark, Ljubljana).

At first i was confused because I thought this foundation has been matched to me wrongly. Though after searching on official website I realized they are so weird with shades. NW10 is a bit pink toned, while NW13 is very neutral beige. That's why I have a bit darker shade, which I still have to lighten, however undertone is perfect for me. Coverage is medium to full and it has a nice liquid texture.  I really like the way it looks on my skin. Though I get shiny quicker than with Revlon Colorstay. Because I'm a hoarder, I store this one for special ocasions. I know, I need to use it more. You can find a full review here.

Dior DiorSkin Forever - 010

Tole je verjetno najdražji puder v moji zbirki in tudi manj uporabljen, ker ga spet kot nekatere druge - preveč "šparam". Pa vendar ga morem porabiti, ker je že nekaj časa v moji zbirki. Že sama embalaža je res čudovita, v matiranem steklu. Podlaga je do srednje prekrivna in izgleda zelo lepo naravno na koži. Res jo olepša ter je na pol matt in sploh ne daje pudrastega izgleda. Prav tako lepo diši. Najsvetlejši odtenek je čisto malo pretemen za mojo kožo, vendar je kar vredu.

And the most expensive foundation is this Dior one. Again, I use it a bit less than I should, however I really like it. Even the packaging with frosted glass is amazing. It has medium coverage and looks very natural, not powdery at all. It is semi-matt so it won't stay on as long, however it is still great for oily skin. The lightest shade is tiny bit too dark for me, however I can manage it.

Max Factor Lasting Performance - 101 Ivory Beige

Ta puder zadnje čase zelo veliko uporabljam. Je zelo dobro prekriven in super tudi za mastno kožo, saj ostane na koži dlje časa. Odtenek je pretemen zame, zato ga osvetlim. Obstaja že kar dolgo, vendar so ga pred kratkim na novo formulirali. Skratka super najdba iz drogerije.

This has been my second most used foundation lately (after Revlon). It has a nice coverage and seems to be really long lasting on my oilier skin. The shade is a bit too dark, however I mix it with lightening drops. It has been in the drugstores for a long time, however they changed a packaging and formulation a bit. It's a great drugstore find.

L'Oreal Infallible 24H Matte - 11 Vanilla

Tudi ta puder ni slab za mastno kožo. Daje popolnoma matiran videz ter se res ne svetiš hitro. Tekstura je ravno dovolj tekoča, čeprav ga moreš hitro razmazati saj se takoj posuši. Žal pa je odtenek malce zgrešen saj lahko izgleda oranžen na koži (tudi tega posvetlim). Ni moj najljubši, saj imam z njim nekaj dela, vendar je zelo dober drogerijski puder za mastno kožo.

Another oily skin appropriate foundation. This one gives you a really matt finish and really helps you from getting shiny quickly. Texture is liquid enough, however it dries quickly so you have to work fast. The shade Vanilla is a bit orangey, however again I can lighten it. I used to use it a lot, however these days I have many other ones that impress me.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow - Neutral 2

Ta puder ni ravno primeren za mojo mastno kožo, vendar sem ga z veseljem nekajkrat testirala. Naprej mi je všeč to, da so na voljo nevtralni odtenki, saj ustreza moji polti, čeprav je malce temnejši. Tekstura pa je tekoča in se najboljše zabriše kar s prsti. Tako dobite naraven, zdrav, sijoč videz, ki pa ne izgleda mastno. Meni je začetni izgled res zelo všeč. Žal pa se kljub fiksiranju kar hitro svetim. Priporočam ga tistim s suho kožo, saj se verjetno ne bo oprijel suhih predelov.

This foundation is certainly not for oilier skin, however I've tested it a few times and really like it. First of all, I like the neutral shade, which suits my skin, even though it could be lighter. Texture is liquid and is best used with fingers to warm it up. The finish is very natural and glowy but not greasy. I love how healthy it makes my skin look. Though sadly even with powder and fixing, I get shiny quickly. I definitely recommend it to the ones with drier skin since it doesn't seem to cling on dry patches.

Rimmel Stay Matte - 100 Ivory

Ta puder ima puhasto, "mousse" teksturo, ki zna kožo precej obtežiti. Zato priporočam bolj rahel nanos. Žal ima tudi ta odtenek bolj oranžen videz in ga že nekaj časa nisem uporabila. In ga tudi verjetno ne bi, če bi imela pravi odtenek saj mi ni všeč tekstura. Če imate kakšne suhe predele, se jih bo ta puder zelo oprijel.

This foundation has a mousse texture which can be really heavy on your skin. So a light application is recommended, however it still isn't my favorite. Plus the shades is quite orangey, and I would not use it anymore.

Rimmel Fresher Skin - 100 Ivory

Tega pa verjetno ne uporabljam veliko zaradi tega, ker se nahaja v lončku, ki ni najbolj priročen. Podlaga daje res svež videz, ter se ne občuti mastno. Pa vendar, se jaz na koncu delavnega dneva precej svetim. Odtenek pa je temnejši. Če najdete ustrezen odtenek, ga priporočam tistim z bolj suho kožo.

What puts me off using this foundations is that it comes in a pot which is not really handy. On the skin it looks very fresh and not greasy. Though I get quite shiny after a few hours. Plus the shade selection is weird. I do recommend it for more drier skin.

Hi girls.

After a haul from Italy, here I am again with an usual haul. As you know I tend not to buy many things, however I wanted to show you what I bought and maybe what's new out there.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Of course this is my favorite foundation (featured here.) and every time Müller has a 30% off offer, I buy it ! And now it even comes with a pump. 

These are just great to keep around when you need them. Also great for that time in the month to keep you lady bits fresh and clean.

UD All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray - Travel Size

Of course because I fell in love with this spray, I wanted one in a mini version for travel or keep in my bag. I love that the bottle is so slim and not heavy at all. And to let you know: it's the best setting spray I've tried so far.

Essence My Umbrella Contour Brush

I really like angled brushes to contour, bronze or add a blush. Though the ones I have from BH are a bit too fluffy, that's why I bought this one since it's a bit slimmer, however not stiff or too thin.

This is a new brand in our stores. It's actually by DM drugstore. The products look appealing, however I promissed myself not to buy as many products. That's why I focused on lip liners which I lack off. 210 is a nice nude, not too orange or pink (not the same as on the picture) and 490 is a dark, vampy purple one - perfect for fall. Lip liners are really creamy and easy to apply, however a bit drying (as most lip liners). I find them quite long lasting, though they leave a sticky feeling behing. Plus they have a sharpener hidden at the bottom.

Then I also chose a Brow Gel Filler since I've been using Catrice one for a year and wanted to try something new. The shade 020 (which seems lighter than 010) is a bit too dark for my eyebrows. Still, I'll make it somehow work. The formula dries really fast so if you make any mistakes you have to be quick. It definitely is long lasting.

Hi girls.

From myself I know, having oily skin can be really annoying. That's why through the years I found some skincare and makeup that keep that shine at bay (well as much as they can). I know each skin might react different, however I hope you'll find some products in this post that you haven't tried before. I use these makeup items on daily basis (only sometimes I skip L'oreal primer). So if you've ever wondered what's on my face: those are these items.

Živjo punce !
Tokrat bom govorila o izdelkih za "nadležno", mastno kožo. Ja, to je moj tip kože in vedno iščem kaj boljšega, kar bi oljem preprečilo, da se kopičijo na koži. Seveda jih ne moreš zatreti, jih pa lahko uravnavaš ter prekriješ z različnimi izdelki. To sama poskušam z naslednjimi izdelki, katere uporabljam skoraj vsak dan (včasih preskočim L'orealov primer). Torej, če vas je kdaj zanimalo kaj je na mojem obrazu, so ti izdelki.

Vichy Normaderm Anti-Imperfection Hydrating Care

As it goes for my skincare, obviously I don't like to mattify my skin at night. Nor do I want to use harsh drying toners or face washes. So, this is the most important product in my morning skincare routine. This is a hydrating cream which absorbs into the skin quickly and is balancing the sebum, so you don't get oily quickly. As for anti-imperfections aspect, I can't say that it makes any difference on my skin. I'd say Total Mat version (which I'm not sure if it's still available) works the best, however this one is nice too, especially (was) for colder days. I've tried many mattifying creams but this one is the best for me.

Skozi leta sem spoznala, da moji koži ne ustrezajo agresivni čistilni geli ter matirajoči toniki za obraz, ker ji lahko izsušijo povrhnjico. Še vedno kožo dobro očistim z izdelki za normalno kožo, vendar zjutraj vedno sledi najbolj pomemben korak v moji negi: matiranje obraza z Normaderm kremo, katera pa hkrati deluje lahkotno vlažilno. Izmed vseh krem za matiranje katere sem preizkusila, sem se vedno vrnila k tej. Sicer se po 3 urah začnem precej svetit, ampak nobena krema ne deluje na mojem obrazu tako dobro kot tale. Nisem pa prepričana, če še vedno obstaja Total Mat različica (ocena tukaj), katera mi je bila še malce boljša od te ! Torej stanovanja ne zapustim brez te kreme na obrazu, tudi kadar imam "no makeup" dan.

L'oreal Infallible Mattifying Primer

This was my recent purchase and ever since I got it, I've been hooked on it. Even though I use a mattifying cream, sometimes I wait for few minutes so that it absorbs nicely and my skin still needs a bit more mattifying effect. The texture is liquidy but when blended it feels like a velvet. It works nicely, plus it makes your makeup glide on easily.  Though I can't say that it prolongs the wear of foundation. As much as I'd like to also try foundation from this line, you can't get the lightest (Porcelain) shade in my country. So, I'll leave it on my wishlist for now.

Naslednji izdelek sem nakupila nedavno nazaj (nekje 3 tedne) in me je kar kmalu prepričal. Čeprav uporabljam matirno-vlažilno nego,  pustim da se krema vpije, nato pa vidim, če potrebujem še malce matiranja ne določenih predelih. Ta izdelek ni le dober za matiranje temveč je super podlaga za ličila, saj se puder nato lažje nanese na kožo, ko je ta izravnana. Tekstura primerja je tekoča, bazirana na silikonu, ki pusti žameten občutek na koži. Ne morem pa reči, da mi podaljša obstojnost tekočega pudra Iz te linije bi zelo rada preizkusila tudi tekočo podlago, vendar je pri nas ni na voljo najsvetlejšega (Porcelain) odtenka. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation For Combo/Oily Skin

Believe it or not, I've been using this foundation for almost 6 years. Yes, it's that good ! While some hate that it lacks a pump, I really got used to it (and hurray, they invented a pump not long ago! - but it's not available in Slovenia yet). So, what's so great about it ? It has an amazing coverage which is great for those days when you want to cover up everything (still you can sheer it out for everyday use). But mostly i love the staying power on oily areas. It lasts all day long. The effect is quite matt but it keeps the shine away for a few hours. I get shiny but not oily after 4 hours, so it doesn't melt off which is most important ! You can kind of feel it on your face after a few hours but it's better than feeling oily and gross. It can clog your pores a bit, so I try to clean my skin as much as I can and let it breathe a few days per week.

Ta tekoči puder je moj najljubši. Uporabljam ga že nekje 6 let, uf. Vem, da ga nekateri ne marajo, ker nima pumpice ter ga moreš preprosto zlit ven, ampak meni je to čist vseeno (so pa pudru dodali pumpico, vendar ne vem kdaj bo na voljo pri nas !). Kar mi je najbolj všeč pri tem pudru je kot prvo: prekrivnost, ki je srednja do popolna, seveda pa ga lahko za vsakodnevno uporabo zabrišeš na rahlo. Kot drugo je: obstojnost, ki traja celoten dan. Drugi pudri z mene dobesedno stečejo, vendar ta ostane na koži, čeprav si čez dan tu in tam tudi "napudram" obraz ter odstranim olja. Učinek je precej matirajoč in omogoča, da olja ne pridejo prehitro na vrh kože. Torej se ne svetim tako hitro. Seveda se po nekaj urah občuti na obrazu, vendar imam raje to, kot pa da občutim vsa olja na koži, ko se počutim že ogabno. Sicer je možno, da pore malce zamaši, ker je tekstura precej gosta in malo težka, zato si po celodnevnem nošenju dobro globinsko očistim kožo ter ji pustim dihat vsaj 2 dni na teden. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

This has to be the cheapest pressed powder I owned. Prices vary from 3-5€. The packaging is a bit cheap, but if you're careful with it, it should last you a long time. The powder is not too powdery, so it there's almost no fall out. On the skin it is not heavy and has a nice mattifying effect. It just looks nice on the skin. I'm sure there are quite a few better products out there, but not for this price. With a combination of Revlon Colorstay foundation, my makeup looks flawless even after 4 hours. I get a bit shiny but I powder my face after around 6-7 hours.

Ta izdelek je pa res tako poceni. Gre za matirajoč, dolgo obstojen puder v kamnu, katerega uporabljam za zaključek makeupa oz. fiksiranje + matiranje. Cena je nekje od 3-5€, odvisno od spletne trgovine. Embalaža je res bolj poceni in plastična, vendar sem se naučila, da skrbim zanjo, da se puder ne zlomi prehitro. Tekstura pudra je fina, ne preveč pudrasta in prav tako se ne drobi naokoli. Na koži pa ustvari matirajoč učinek brez težkega občutka. Meni je všeč obstojnost ter videz na moji koži. Seveda ni najboljši puder v kamnu, vendar je boljši od drugih sploh v tem cenovnem rangu. S kombinacijo Revlon tekočega pudra je makeup na obrazu po 4 urah še vedno na svojem mestu, le malce se svetim. "Napudrat" se morem mogoče po 6-7ih urah, ko so olja že na vrhu.

CadeaVera Anti-Shine Mattifying (Blotting) papers

I'm sure not a lot of girls use these. They can be funny when using in public (in bathrooms) but I don't care. First of all, when you get oily, you can't just blot your face with a pressed powder all the time. The oils will not absorb or get anywhere else other than stay on your face covered with the powder. So that's when these papers come in handy: you press one onto the oily area and push on it with fingers. After that you can see the oils on the paper and just throw it away. I use 2-3 on the whole face and then use a bit of powder. They are really great when you've been out for a whole day and just want to freshen up. Plus they're cheap. I buy mine from Müller (their brand - around 2 € / 50 papers) + Essence and other companies make these.

Zadnji korak so papirčki za matiranje oz. vpijanje olj s kože. Verjetno jih kar nekaj punc ne pozna, ampak so tako zelo priročni za čez dan. Na javnem wcju sem seveda velikokrat doživela smešne poglede ob uporabi teh papirčkov, ampak mi je čisto vseeno. Najprej naj omenim, da ko se olja naberejo čez dan na koži, jih ne moreš kar prekrit s pudrom v kamnu/prahu, ker jih seveda prekriješ, na gobici ali čopiču pa se ta olja nabirajo. Tako pridejo v upoštev ti papirčki. Preprosto vzameš enega in ga pritisneš na predel kjer je koža sijoča ter mastna in takoj absorbira olja s kože. Po potrebi uporabiš več papirčkov, jaz pa jih potrebujem nekje 2-3 za T-cono. Šele nato včasih uporabim puder v kamnu, ki bo uravnal izločanje olj. Izredno jih priporočam, ker je uporaba enostavna in res delujejo. Dodaten plus je cena, saj svoje kupujem v drogeriji Müller (okoli 2€ za 50 papirjev), prav tako pa jih izdelujejo tudi znamke kot so Essence in podobno.

All in all, I really enjoy using these products, however I need to warn you that ofcourse in the summer my makeup melts off easier, when I sweat.

To so izdelki, ki jih sama obožujem na dnevni ravni, vendar vas morem opozoriti, da se mi poleti seveda ličila vseeno hitreje stopijo z obraza, saj je tudi meni vroče in se potim ob groznih temperaturah.

Živjo !

Verjetno sem ena redkih, ki mi ne uspe vsak mesec predstavit najljubših izdelkov, ampak ta mesec mi je le uspelo :) Vsakega izdelka seveda ne morem posebej ocenit, saj se mi jih je veliko nabralo, tako pa vam lahko predstavim nekaj najljubših izdelkov meseca novembra, kateri si zaslužijo omembo. Uporabljala sem jih večino meseca ter sem z njimi precej zadovoljna. Če mi uspe, lahko naslednji mesec ali v začetku januarja pričakujete moje letošnje najljubše izdelke, saj je to letos edina objava takšnega tipa.

Hi girls !
I'm probably one of the few beauty bloggers who don't manage to post monthly favorites each month. However, this month I'm doing it ! Each month I discover or re-discover some beauty products that I use the entire month or even further, however they can't make it to my blog since I have such an overload of products. Still, today I'm presenting you some of the most favorite products from November. Hopefully at the end of december, or begining of january, I will be posting my 2015 favorite products.

Avon Micellar Water

Ta mesec sem imela priložnost preizkusiti novost znamke Avon. Ta vodica za odstranjevanje ličil mi je takoj postala všeč, saj deluje: dobro in hitro odstrani ličila ter ne draži mojih oči. Embalaža pa ima na vrhu majhno luknjico, tako da je doziranje pravšnjo. Edino kar me moti je malce bolj umeten vonj. Je brez parabenov, barvil ter alkoholov. Več tukaj.

This month I had an opportunity to try out a new addition to Avon line. This micellar water removes makeup very efficiently and quickly, without irritating my eyes. Packaging has a small whole on the top, so the liquid doesn't just pour out. The only thing I don't like about it, is the artificial smell. It doesn't containt parabens, alcohol or color.

Catrice Velvet Matt Eyeshadow - 010 Vanillaty Fair

Dobra mat senčila so "must have" ! To senčilo me je popolnoma očaralo, ker je dobro pigmentirano in tudi dobro obstojno. Običajno ga nanesem na celotno veko, da osvetlim oči, ter v "gubo" na očesu nanesem temen odtenek, da ustvarim "konturo" na očesu.

A good matt eyeshadow is a "must have" ! So in november I got charmed by this eyeshadow, It has a great pigmentation and it's really good. Usually I apply it on the entire eyelid and then contour my eye in the crease with a darker color.

Revlon kissable balm stain - Rendezvous

To šmink sem ta mesec velikokrat nosila..Zakaj?: jesensko-zimski odtenek, dobra obstojnost ter predvsem enostavno nanašanje, ker je v obliki velike "barvice". Ocenila sem jo že dolgo časa nazaj (klik tukaj).

In november I wore this lipstick quite a lot of times. It's just a perfect fall-winter shade. Has a good pigmentation and application is very easy because it's shaped like a "pencil". Also longevity is great. I reviewed it here (a loong time ago :D).

Nanshy Large Shader Brush

Moj prvi Nanshy čopič. Sicer je malce velik, ampak z njim enostavno ter hitro naneseš senčilo po celotni veki. Prav tako pa je zelo mehak ter so ščetine sintetične. Najdeš ga lahko na licila.si

There has been a lot of talk about Nanshy brushes and this one is my first. It's quite large, however it's so easy to use and you can easily apply eyeshadow on the entire eyelid in just a few seconds. Also it's so soft and bristles are synthetic. 

Phyto Huille Soyeuse

Sama imam bolj masten tip las, moje konice pa trenutno niso tako uničene. Pa vendar imam običajno probleme pri razčeševanju. Tako vedno iščem izdelke, ki las ne bi zmastili, ampak jih ukrotili. To olje je v obliki lahkega losjona, kar omogoča enostaven nanos ter ne pušča mastnega občutka. Super je tudi samo za negovanje konic. Več tukaj.

My hair is usually greasy on the top, but my ends haven't been that damaged. I do have problem with brushing out my hair, so I always search for products which won't weight down my hair but will still tame it and be hydrating enough. 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 grease up my hair.

Živjo punce !

Tokrat bo govora o znamki ličil: Revlon. Morem priznati, da iz njihovega asortimana še nisem preizkusila tako veliko izdelkov, vendar že nekaj let skoraj vsakodnevno uporabljam Colorstay puder za obraz, kateri mi je preprosto čudovit. Razen tega pa sem na blogu že dooolgo časa nazaj ocenila Kissable Balm Stain ter Lacquer Balm šminke za ustnice. Sicer pa vedno slišim samo pohvale o Revlon izdelkih, predvsem tudi od tujih blogerk...

Hi girls !
Today I'm going to talk about two fairly new products by Revlon. I do have to say that I don't own that many Revlon products, however their Colorstay foundation for mixed to oily skin is my holly grail. A long time ago I did review their Kissable Balm Stain and Lacquer Balm lipsticks (those reviews are so old and I'm embarrassed about the photos haha). But mostly I hear great things about Revlon, especially from foreign bloggers...

What I bought

Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Foaming Face Wash (mini)

L to R: Essie - Playa del Platinum, Catrice - From dusk to dawn, Revlon - Chic, Essie - Mind your Mittens, Licorice, Wicked, Toggle to the top

Here I am with monthy beauty haul :) This month I think I spent more money on clothes rather than cosmetics, but I still have few bits to show you :)
Also I've been into using up old stuff :3 I am a bit OCD when it comes to order so I'm going crazy while living with bunch of things I want to get rid of :)
