Hi girls.

Spring is almost here and there have been many new product launches. Previously I've talked about L.O.V. novelties and this time I'll talk you through some Catrice Cosmetics products which I received. They brought out plenty of new makeup, but I'll share just a few with you today...

Živjo punce.

Pomlad prihaja in s tem veliko novih izdelkov. Nekaj časa nazaj sem govorila o L.O.V. novostih, tokrat pa Vam predstavljam nekatere Catrice novosti, ki sem jih prejela v test. Seveda je v kolekciji še veliko več produktov, ki bodo morda pritegnili vaš pogled in zanimanje...

The glow trend is still on, also at Catrice cosmetics. This dewy stick is actually just like a balm with a few glitters here and there. Texture is not sticky and it glides on very easily. It gives an effect of highlighter with a wet look. Though it doesn't show up that much. In this case I'd rather use it as a base and put highlighter on top of it, so it sticks better and enhances the look. In that way it works amazingly. 

Trend osvetljevanja je še vedno na vrhu, tudi pri Catrice kozmetiki. Ta stik je namenjen prav za učinek "mokrega" izgleda. Je kot nekakšen balzam z majhnimi bleščicami. Naneseš ga direktno na željene predele, pri čemer tekstura ni preveč lepljiva in se enostavno tudi zabriše. Čeprav je izgled precej subtilen in ga ne opaziš takoj. Tako ga sama raje uporabim kot osnovo za osvetljevalec v prahu. Ta se na ta balzam dobro oprime, ter poveča intenzivnost osvetljevalca.

This eyeshadow palette is interesting and seems to imitate Benefit duo eyeshadows. Pigmentation is great and sponge picks up quite a lot of product. However the sponge brush is quite big and it's a bit tough when you have small eyelids like me. It glides on easily, however you still need to blend it out. To me the final effect is a bit weird and definitely needs touch up. Though eyeshadows look very nice and I would use them separately with my normal brush. However they are all shimmery. The only plus is that they do last all day long. Unfortunately this kind of product would be suitable for girls who are only learning to do makeup, but then again it's a lot of hassle to apply eyeshadows.

Ta paleta senčil na prvi pogled izgleda precej zanimivo ter je podobna Benefitovim duo senčilom. Pigmentacija je kar dobra ter senčila na vekah ostanejo ves dan. Gobica pa pobere veliko izdelka, kar omogoča enostavnejši nanos. Hkrati je žal ta gobica prevelika za moje majhne veke in mi povzroča nekaj nevšečnosti. Končni učinek je malce čuden, saj je ta senčila definitivno še potrebno zabrisati. Izgled samih senčil pa je lep, saj gre za lepe odtenke, ki bi jih sama uporabljala samostojno. Žal v takšni paleti ni nobenega mat odtenka, ampak so sami sijoči. Nekako menim, da je ta paleta bolj primerna za mlajša dekleta, ki se učijo z ličili ali samo preizkušajo, vendar je hkrati uporaba malce težja.

Texture of this mascara is very wet at first. The brush is standard (but hourglass shaped), however I feel like packaging is not made greatly, since sometimes it doesn't wipe off the excess mascara. This results in a bit of clumpiness. It gives quite some volume to the lashes, however the effect is not outstanding. Also it is very black, so it shows up nicely, though it always seems to transfer everywhere: on the brow bone, under the eyes. I've never had such trouble with mascara, though keep in mind that my skin is quite oily but I try to combat that with powder. Sadly it doesn't work for me because of the transferring and I won't use it again. They do have a waterproof version as well.

Maskara je na začetku precej mokra. Krtačka je precej standardna, vendar z obliko "peščene ure". Embalaža pa mi ni najbolj všeč, saj se mi zdi, da je odprtina na vrhu prevelika in včasih ne odstrani odvečne maskare, kar se pozna v zlepljenih trepalnicah. Mojim trepalnicam doda kar nekaj volumna, vendar se mi učinek ne zdi tako wau. Je pa maskara ekstremno črna, kar izgleda lepo, vendar se na meni povsod odtisne: pod obrvmi, pod očmi. Tako, da če si ne bi popravila ličil čez dan, bi izgledala grozno. Tako velikih problemov še nisem imela z maskaro. Drugače se vedno trudim da dodobra matiram mojo mastno kožo z fiksirnimi pudri. Žal na meni pač ne deluje in je ne bom več uporabila. Imajo pa na voljo še vodoodporno različico.

Browttitude Professional Eyebrow Palette - 500 Blonde Perfection

Ta paleta izdelkov za obrvi je res odlična. V njej dobite: duet senčila za obrvi, pomada za obrvi, vosek za fiksiranje ter osvetljevalec za obrvi. Prav tako vsebuje pripomočke: čopič/krtačko, šablone za obrvi ter mini pinceto. Sicer je embalaža malce večja in ni tako prijazna za potovanje, vendar imate v njej res vse kar potrebujete za urejanje obrvi. Prav tako pa so produkti zelo dobro pigmentirani. Najbolj mi je všeč senčilo za obrvi, hkrati pa me je presenetila tudi pomada saj je enostavna za uporabo ter ne izgleda preveč ostro. Čopič je majhen ter tako precizen in enostaven za uporabo. Vsi produkti pa tudi dobro zdržijo čez dan in priporočam, da si ogledate to paleto. Moja je seveda v svetlejšem odtenku za blondinke.

This eyebrow kit is really nice. It comes with duo brow powder, brow pomade, fixing wax and highlighter. Also you get tools with it: brush/spoolie, eyebrow stencils and mini tweezers.

Although the packaging might be a bit bulky and not travel friendly, it's amazing because it's all you need for brows. The powder is nicely pigmented and applies very easily. I didn't think I'd like the brow pomade, but I do as it is easy to use and doesn't look too harsh on the brows. The brush is precise and makes application very easy. I think all the products inside are great quality and you cannot go wrong with the palette.

Lovillusion Holographic Highlighter Palette

Sicer nisem največja uporabnica osvetljevalcev, vendar so tile zanimivi, saj so holografski. V paleti se skrivajo trije odtenki: Iridescent Pink, Opalescent Green, Peach Prism. Vsak ima tak duo ton, ki se spreminja. Najbolj pa mi je všeč mareličen odtenek, saj ima roza odsev ter je najbolj nosljiv.

Všeč mi je tudi, da že na paleti z navodili svetujejo, da jih naneseš posebej na očeh ali na vrh senčil, kot običajen osvetljevalec na obrazu ali pa ga dodaš tudi na telo - še posebej na ključnico. So zelo pigmentirani in če imaš rada osvetljevalce, ti bo ta paleta res zanimiva.

I'm not a highlighting "queen", however these holographic highlighters are very interesting. In the palette you get three shades: Iridescent Pink, Opalescent Green, Peach Prism. My favorite one is the peachy shade which has a pink hue to it.

I like the fact that they advise you to wear it on the eyes separately or over the top of the eyeshadow, use it as an usual highlighter all over the face or even put it onto the body - collarbone. Pigmentation is great and if you like highlighters, you'd definitely love this palette.

BlushLiasion Dewy Gel Blush Stick - 010 Daring Pink

Še en drugačen izdelek je to rdečilo z "mokro" gelasto teksturo. Je v embalaži z obliko valja in na drugem koncu se skriva tudi čopič. Ta pa ni ravno najboljši, saj kožo preveč vleče in ali ne zabriše dobro izdelka, ali pa uniči izgled tekoče podlage. Samo rdečilo pa se enostavno zabriše s prsti ali mehkejšim čopičem. Ta rožnat odtenek je zelo pigmentiran in je precej opazen. Super pa bo za poletne dni, saj vlaži in se lepše zlije s kožo. Lahko ga naneseš tudi na ustnice.

The blush comes in a standard stick packaging, however on the bottom you also get a dense blush. The texture is gel-like, so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. Plus it blends easily. The actual brush is not that great at blending because it pulls the skin around, so I recommend you using the fingers or a softer brush. The pink shade is very noticeable as the blush is very pigmented. It would be perfect for spring/summer time. And I'd use it also on the lips.
