Hello again :)
As I promised I'm doing more blogposts this week than last one :P
This one is going to be short and simple, but I just wanted to show you my new addition to the "crayon" type of lipsticks/lipbalms.
These were on offer for 50% off in DM (so I got them for around 5€/each) so I immediately knew which ones I wanted :P I was kinda hesitanting because now I really have a lot of lip stuff like this but I realized these ones are different :)
I'll make it simple and show you swatches and pros, cons and a conclusion ^^ I hope you'll like it.

Živjo :)
Torej kot sem obljubila ta teden sledi več objav, napram prejšnjemu tednu :P
Tale ocena bo mogoče malo krajša ampak bom najpomembnejše stvari izpostavila. Torej pokazala vam bom mojo novo pridobitev k šminkam/balzamom za ustnice v obliki "barvic".
Kupila sem jih s kupončkom za -50%, ki mi ga je DM poslal domov (tako sem za vsako plačala nekje 5€) in sem takoj vedela katere odtenke bi imela ^^ Malce sem odlašala z nakupom, ker imam res veliko izdelkov za ustnice ampak, ko sem jih kupila sem opazila, da so te res drugačne :)
Upam, da vam bo všeč objava.











Pros:
+ they feel moisturizing and creamy
+ have a nice color payoff, you can build it, but it definitely is a great pigmentation for a product like that (I'm not sure for the other shaded though)
+ look glossy (normally I don't like that about lipbalms or w/e but this kind of effect looks nice - some people may not like that)
+ easy application !

Cons:
- they don't last long on your lips (I feel like they last only 2 or 3 hrs on me - if I don't eat or drink ! - just because they're so glossy and creamy)
- with these light shades you can't have chapped lips, because it shows through a little bit (but it's not that horrible)

Prednosti:
+ so zelo vlažilne in kremaste
+ pigmentiranost je res dobra, lahko jo nadgrajuješ, sicer pa če samo 1x greš čez ustnice se že vidi barva (nisem pa ziher glede drugih odtenkov, ki jih sama nimam)
+ ustnicam dajo "glossy" učinek (običajno mi to ni všeč ampak tukaj res zgleda lepo, skoraj "moker" videz dajo - mogoče nekaterim to ne bi bilo všeč)
+ nanos je zelo enostaven

Slabosti:
- na mojih ustnicah ne ostanejo dolgo (imam občutek da samo 2 ali pa mogoče 3 ure - če ne jem ali pijem ! - ker so res kremaste teksture)
- pri takšnih svetlih odtenkih morajo seveda tvoje ustnice zgledat "brezhibno" oziroma ne preveč spokano saj se opazi ob nanosu šmink (ampak ni pa tako zelo opazno !)



All in all:
I really like these Color Boost lip crayons, because they're really moisturizing (in that way they're better than Revlon ones) and the colors I chose are lovely <3 The pigmentation is really nice in my opinion !. They also say they're waterproof - not sure about that !
I really like the shade Peach on the beach, because it is just lovely and with some summer tan it would look amazing :)

Mnenje:
Zelo so mi všeč te "voščene" šminke, ker so zelo vlažilne (v tem pogledu so boljše od Revlonovih) in barve so luštne <3 Pigmentiranost je tudi zelo dobra !. Na embalaži sicer piše, da so vodoodporne ampak ne vem, če je to res :P Najbolj mi je všeč odtenek Peach on the beach, ker je zelo lep, čeprav običajno ne maram rozastih šmink, pa ima tale malo oranžkast podton in bi noro fajn zgledal skupaj s porjavelo kožo !

Price: 9.95 € (depends on store)
Cena: 9.95 € (odvisno od trgovine)

Points: 5/5
Ocena: 5/5

So if you follow me on my facebook (here), you'd know I was invited to another Afrodita cosmetics event. This one was all about new line for men. At first I thought it was weird to be invited to a man's cosmetics event but I still wanted to go, just because I cherish the invitation and was glad they invited me again :)
I brought my boyfriend with me, just because it was men's event :P And it was actually fun, because Bizovičar was funny with his comedy - music thing.
I was planning on all white outfit & new Bershka top from last fashion haul, but I changed my mind because it was kind of cold for a shirt like that.
Anyways this is what I wore:

Torej, če mi sledite na facebook.u (tukaj), veste, da sem spet bila povabljena na predstavitev kozmetike Afrodite. Tokrat je bila predstavljena nova moška kozmetika. Najprej mi je bilo malce čudno, da sem povabljena na "moški" event, ampak, ker sem bila vesela in je zelo lepo, da so me spet povabili, sem se ga udeležila. S seboj sem pripeljala, še fant, ker je bilo pač o moški kozmetiki :P Sam dogodek je bil kar zabaven, ker je bil Bizovičar zabavn s svojo komedijo o slovenski glasbi.
Planirala sem, da bom imela "all white" outfit in novo Bershka majčko iz prejšnje objave o pridobitvah, ampak sem si premislila, ker je bilo zunaj malce premrzlo za tako majčko.
Torej, nato sem oblekla tole:










p.s. : Let me know if you like these kind of posts :)

Hello again !
This is "another" fashion haul. I don't do these monthly, I just do them when I feel like I've shopped a lot and need to show stuff before there's too much :D Also I'm doing these because I like seeing what other people buy, so it gives me an idea. I didn't need any ot these items, but I wanted them :P And I've realized I need to buy some jean shorts for summer too ! Forgot those :P Other than that I should be fine, because my closet is now so empty I think I couldn't fit anything anymore xD *first world problems*
So here are the pictures.

Živjo,
ta teden sem spet manj aktivna, ampak vseeno sem pripravila še eno objavo z izdelki spletne trgovine moje-lece.si. Tokrat sem sprobala tekočino za leče in kapljice za oči za mehke leče znamke Gelone. Ker sta to 2 izdelka o katerih ne morem ogromno razlagat sem se tokrat odločila, da ne bom iskala ravno prednosti in slabosti ampak bom podala celotno iskreno mnenje.






Nekaj o izdelku:
Gelone je tekočina za kontaktne leče, ki je zaradi vsebnosti hyaluronat natrija (hialuronska k.) izredno kakovostna in primerna za vse vrste mehkih kontaktnih leč. Hialuronska kislina je snov, ki je človeškemu telesu naravna. Najdemo jo na primer v očesni steklovini, v tkivih in koži. Zaradi svojih edinstvenih lastnosti se uporablja v očesni plastični kirurgiji. Pomembna je zaradi svoje sposobnosti obnavljanja celic, s čimer je celjenje tkiva hitrejše.

Mnenje: Tekočina dobro očisti kontaktne leče, kakšnih večjih razlik pa jaz nikoli ne opazim med tekočinami, se mi zdijo kar podobne. Meni so vedno všeč te potovalne velikosti, ker so ravno pravšnje, če greš za nekaj dni od doma.

Kje jo lahko dobite: tukaj (trenutno je v akciji, na tej povezavi pa lahko najdete različna pakiranja in še druge tekočine za čiščenje leč)




Nekaj o izdelku:
Gelone 10 ml so kapljice za oko, ki zagotavljajo takojšnje olajšanje in izboljšanje udobja. Kapljice so učinkovito nadomestilo za solze. Umetno tvorijo zaščitni film, s čimer zaščitijo oči pred škodljivimi vplivi okolja kot so dim, vročina, veter, klimatizirani prostori, monitor itd. Gelone kapljice preprečujejo sušenje površine očesa in pomagajo odplakovati prašne delce. Ne vsebujejo konzervansov, njihova uporaba je vašim očem zelo prijazna.

Mnenje: Do zdaj sem sprobala že 3 različne verzije kapljic za oči. Ne vem zakaj, ampak te so mi res dobro navlažile oči za še nekaj ur. Kot sem že enkrat povedala, če ste začetnik nošenja kontaktnih leč priporočam, da si takoj nabavite kapljice, ker se oči morajo na začetku navaditi na leče in zna bit zelo nadležno, prav tako, če vas je strah nošenja leč zaradi neudobja - kapljice to dobro rešujejo. Vedno, ko me leče motijo ali pa imam suhe ter razdražljive oči, dam v vsako oko eno kapljico, torej priporočam uporabo po potrebi :)
Če ne veš kakšen občutek je ob uporabi takšnih kapljic, lahko opišem to tako: kot da bi oči zalil s tekočino in neudobje popusti takoj (res!).
Edino kar me moti pri takšni embalaži je, da moraš porabit kapljice v 1 mesecu, kar pa meni nikoli ne uspe, žal :)
Kje jih lahko dobite: tukaj

Za konec sem še želela malo bolj podrobno pokazat: Škatlico za kontaktne leče, ker se mi zdi zanimiva in pa zelo priročna ! Na sliki je škatlica v obliki slona in njene vsebine :)



Škatlica je kompaktna, lahko jo spraviš v svojo toaletno torbico. Vsebuje ogledalo, pinceto, ter posodico za leče in pa majhno "flaško" za tekočino. Sicer na slikah na spletni strani ni videti, da bi tole flaško vse vsebovale, ampak sem preverila pri podjetju in so mi zagotovili, da je vsem škatlicam priložena ! :)

Tole in ostale škatlice si lahko pogledate: tukaj

Hello readers, it's already hot outside and our skin needs some refreshing.
Up until 3 or 4 years ago I didn't think a toner was needed for my skin. Then I learned how lovely it feels on my skin. If you don't already have a toner in your skin routine I think you should invest into one, either a cheap or a bit more expensive one.
I do have extremely oily skin on my T-zone during summer, so this is just an essential for me.
I don't think a toner is the one thing that will solve your skin problems - BUT ! -> in combination with your face wash + day/night cream it works. If I don't wash my face properly, my skin starts breaking out a bit and it doesn't feel great anymore. So, when I do my skin routine like I should I feel like it helps with keeping my skin clear. I feel like sometimes some of the toners helped with my big pores, but not for a long period of time - I think unfortunately nothing can clear that :/
I know I will present quite a lot of toners to you, but for me each one of them worked in their own way + I believe toner can't harm/break out your skin (unless it dries it out). Also I didn't want to describe 4 because 5 sounds better, so I tested another one :). I will share with you my opinion & experience, however I won't go into details about ingredients, but - ALL of these toners ARE ALCOHOL FREE.

Živjo, bralke :P Zunaj je že precej vroče in naša koža potrebuje malo osvežitve in danes predstavljam nekaj tonikov za mastno ali pa problematično kožo.
Do pred nekje 3 ali 4 leth se mi ni zdelo, da potrebujem tonik za svojo kožo. Nato pa sem se poučila kakšen fajn občutek pustijo na mojem obrazu. Če še nimaš tonika v svoji rutini, sem mnenja, da bi morala vseeno poizkusiti z vsaj enim.
Med poletjem imam res zelo mastno kožo na T-predelu obraza, tako, da je tonik osnova moje rutine.
Sem mnenja, da tonik ne odpravi težav s kožo - AMPAK! -> v kombinaciji s čistilnim gelom + dnevno/nočno kremo za obraz skupaj delujejo super. Sama opazim ,da če si obraza ne umijem vredu in toniziram, se začnejo pojavljati mozoljčki in podobno. Nekateri toniki so mi malce pomagali z velikimi porami, ampak ne za dolgo, saj se na žalost tega res težko znebiš :/
Vem, da vam bom predstavila kar veliko tonikov, ampak zame je vsak izmed njih deloval malce drugače + menim, da tonik ne more ravno škodovati vaši koži (razen če jo res izsuši). In pa tudi nisem želela opisat samo 4, ker se 5 sliši bolje, zato sem še v zadnjem času testirala še enega. Torej z vami bom delila moje mnenje in izkušnjo, ne bom se poglabljala v sestavine, ampak vsi TI toniki SO BREZ ALKOHOLA.




1. Lush Tea Tree Water Toner (250g)
This is my all time favorite toner. I talked about it here .
I just love the way it feels on my skin and it is the best one for summer because it mattifies your skin quickly and tea tree helps with imperfections. However you might not like the scent because it has a bit of tea tree smell, but it's not strong !. I love the spritz on this one, which I like using during the day on summer holiday, just to refreshen my face :)

Tale je moj najljubši. O njem sem govorila tukaj .
Všeč mi je občutek na koži in je najboljši za poletje saj hitro matira kožo in čajevec pomaga pri nepravilnostih. Edino vonj ima malo po čajevcu, kar morda komu ne bi bilo všeč, ampak ni tako močen - lahko pa tudi verjetno sprobaš v trgovini kako se ti zdi. Super je tudi to, da je narejen kot razpršilo, kar mi je všeč za uporabo na počitnicah, saj preprosto "napršim" kožo, da jo osvežim.

2. Afrodita Clean Phase Toner (for normal to oily skin) (200 ml)
I received this one at the Afrodita event. It has a nice, a bit sweet, a bit floral scent like all Clean Phase products have. It might be a bit over-powering to some people.
It feels refreshing, it mattifies your skin but not completely till it looks a bit dry. Also it takes a bit more time to sink into your skin which I don't like but it's not that slow either.

Tale tonik sem dobila na Afrodita dogodku. Ima prijeten vonj, malce sladek, malce mogoče cvetličen, takšen kot vsi Clean Phase izdelki, ampak mogoče je nekaterim ljudem preveč močen.
Daje osvežilen občutek ter matira kožo ampak ne popolnoma - da bi izgledala suho. Tudi traja dlje časa, da se vpije v kožo, kar mi ni všeč, ampak dobro, ne traja res tako dolgo.

3. Afrodita Young & Pure Refresh Toner (deep hydrating, anti-imperfections) (200 ml)
This one is really really refreshing, almost more than the Lush one. The scent is also fresh. But it doesn't dry your skin, it mattifies it a bit less than the Clean Phase one. If you have drier skin and need something for problematic skin I think this one would be for you. As well as with Clean Phase one, I feel like it does take time to sink into your skin.

Tale je zelo osvežilen, mogoče celo bolj kot tisti iz Lush-a. Vonj je svež. Ne izsuši kože, jo matira ampak mogoče malo manj kot tisti Clean Phase. Če imaš malce bolj suho kožo od moje in potrebuješ nekaj za problematično kožo bi morda tale bil zate. Tudi tale potrebuje malce več časa, da se vpije v kožo.

4. Soraya Care & Control Anti-bacterial Toner (200 ml)
I know I talked about this one too (here). But I wanted to say sth again. I just love the scent of this one - so citrusy and fresh. This would be my number 2 pick for summer. Also while using it, it helped with problems on my skin, it cleared it, shrinked my pores just a bit & it mattified my skin.

O tem sem že govorila (tukaj). Ampak sem spet hotela še par stvari poudariti. Obožujem tale vonj - zelo citrusen je in svež. Tale je na moji listi takoj za Lush Tea Tree Water. In pa tudi ob uporabi se mi je zdelo, da mi je pomagal s problemi na koži, jo je očistil in malce skrčil pore in tudi matira.

5. Nivea (pure effect) Stay Clear Purifying Toner (200 ml)
As you can see I almost finished this one. I've had it for quite a long time, but I fell back in love with it.
It is really refreshing and as it says it mattifies your skin. It feels nice on your skin and sometimes I felt like it cleared my skin really well. If you have drier skin, it would feel drying on your skin too (like it did sometimes on mine during winter).

Tega sem že skoraj končala (kar je tudi bil moj namen saj kot vidite imam preveč tonikov ^^). Tale tonik sem imela že kar nekaj časa, ampak sem ga pred nekaj meseci ponovno vzljubila. Je res vlažilen in kot tudi pravi, matira kožo (kar dobro !). Občutek na koži je vseeno prijeten in včasih sem imela občutek, da mi je pomagal očistiti kožo. Če imaš morda malce bolj suho kožo, bi morda bil tale vseeno preveč izsušujoč.

I know these toners seem to be a bit the same, but I hope you found something useful !
I'm not sure about the prices, but I know Afrodita is around 5€, Nivea maybe more, Soraya a bit less than 9€ & Lush around 12 €.
Nisem ziher glede cen ampak vem, da so afroditini toniki okoli 5€, menda celo manj, Nivea je malce dražja, Soraya stane malo manj kot 9€ in Lush malo manj kot 12€.

p.s. Let me know what you think :)

Hi !
I know this week there haven't been any exciting posts, but I wanted to show you these nail stickers & tell you my opinion about them :P
I hope that in a few days I will manage to put up better post :P.
So, I wore these only for 2 two days because I went out clubbing and I totally managed to ruin my nails xD You'll see... I think if you don't do anything mayor they could last for 3 days. But they're easy to scratch.
Another thing I did wrong is that I streched them out too much when applying & then I filed my nails too much, so the tips of the nails were already a bit bare. I've used stickers like that before, but was my first time using silver ones so now I know how to do it next time.

Hello again !
Today I'm starting with a NOTD. Well actually I only wore this for a day just to show you the colors & then because I don't have a swatch wheel yet, I decided to show you a comparison between two quite similiar shades on my nails.
Here it is !












Both photograph peachy-orange, but they're really different in person ! I tried so many times just to show you how pink the Maybelline one is but didn't succeed -_-
In the end I put a filter on a Maybelline one so you could see WHAT I SAW IN MY REAL LIFE.

Love and Lemons, Simona
