Pro Longwear Concealer (NC15)

Tekstura je malce gosta, vendar tako zagotavlja popolno prekrivnost ter potrebujete zelo majhno količino. Priporočam dobro zabrisovanje, da se izdelek ne usede v linije na obrazu. Na obrazu ostane skoraj ves dan, zato mi je res odličen.

Odtenek NC15 je najsvetlejši ter ima rumen podton, kar je meni super. Tako se ujema z Revlon Colorstay (150 Buff). Pri primerjavi z mojo MAC tekočo podlago, ki ima manjšo številko (13), pa je korektor vseeno svetlejši

Cena: nekje 22€ (v Evropi) za 9 ml

Korektor mi je res všeč, ker je prekrivnost odlična in tudi cena ni slaba za 9ml, saj potrebujete majhno količino ter vam ostane res za dolgo časa.

Price: around 22€ (in Europe...cheaper in USA)

All in all, I really like this concealer as it is so high-coverage. Sadly I broke it just after doing this review (karma eh?), however I'm for sure buying it again.

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.

Pozdravljene.
Danes se bom posvetila naravnim sestavinam v Lushevih maskah, katere so verjetno edine sveže maske, ki jih lahko tudi kupite. Ne vsebujejo konzervansov ter so iz najbolj svežih sestavin, zato jih je potrebno hraniti v hladilniku. Rok uporabe je 4 tedne, vendar se nekatere sestavine običajno pokvarijo kasneje. Sama to opazim po spremembi vonja, teksture ali pa sestavine v tubici dobesedno splesnijo. 

Pred tem sem že omenjala Cupcake svežo masko za mastno kožo, tokrat pa sem preizkusila kombiniranje mask za obraz. Zakaj? Ta trend sem opazila na spletu in se mi je zdel super ravno za moj mešan tip kože. Na T coni je koža precej mastna, zato sem tam uporabila Love Lettuce, za uravnavanje sebuma. Na licih ter ob straneh pa je koža bolj suha. Torej ko je koža zmešana, ne uporabite samo ene maske za obraz, temveč se fokusirajte na kaj posamezen predel na obrazu potrebuje (globinsko čiščenje, pomirjanje, vlaženje...). Maska se na obrazu pusti 10-15 minut, med tem pa se lahko stuširate, usedete v bano ali pa opravite hišna opravila. Zato ni nujno, da bi si morali vzeti čas za razvajanje kože ! Seveda pa sem maski preizkusila tudi posamezno, da Vam ju lahko dodobra opišem.

Hello girls.
I'm sure you've heard of Lush face masks. But did you know they have the fresh ones, which contain only the freshest natural ingredients and no preservatives which works the best and you can see the changes on the skin quicker ! That's why you keep them in the fridge and use them up in 4 weeks. Well I had their masks for longer than that and they didn't get spoilt right away. You just have to make sure it doesn't get mouldy, change a scent or texture, otherwise you throw it away.
Also I wanted to talk about multi-masking. I've heard bloggers talk about it and I wanted to try it out. Multi-masking actually means to use different face masks on the face, so you actually focus on what each area needs (deep cleansing, calming, hydrating...).
So because my T zone is oily, I used Love Lettuce to balance the oils. And then on other areas I used BB Seaweed to calm the redness on my cheeks and such. The mask is supposed to be on the skin for 10-15 minutes and then you wash it off. Meanwhile you can hop into the shower, take a relaxing bath or just do house chores. Your skin needs some pampering once in a while, so you don't need lots of free time available ! Of course I tested masks separately as well, to give you an honest opinion.

Sestavine:
Agar Agar gel, Kaolin, Med, Fullerjeva zemlja, Glicerin, Mandljevo olje, Mlete mandljeve lupine, Mleti mandlji, Sivkino olje, Klorofil

Ta maska ima nežen vonj po sivki, kar je lahko super za pred spanjem, da te pomiri in malce uspava. Je malce bolj tekoča, verjetno zato ker vsebuje mandljevo olje, vendar se zato zelo enostavno razporedi po koži. Takoj so vidni delci mandljeve lupine, ter ob odstranitvi delujejo kot piling. Če masko spirate s krožnimi gibi, opravi kar učinkovit/intenziven piling, zato morda ni primerna za občutljivo kožo. Po odstranitvi je koža zelo mehka in sijoča. Predvsem pa imam občutek, da je zelo dobro očiščena, vendar brez, da bi jo zategovalo ali izsušilo. Čeprav je namenjena balansiranju, vsebuje mandljevo olje. To kožo navlaži in lahko pusti nasproten učinek, da pore ne proizvajajo veliko sebuma (olj), zaradi navlaženosti kože. Na dolgi rok sicer ne deluje tako, da bi popolnoma odpravila masten sijaj, vendar imam občutek, da vredu balansira olja na moji koži.

This mask is lightly scented with lavender, so it is soothing and calming - might be perfect before going to bed. It doesn't have a thick texture so it's really easy to apply on the skin. You can see the almond shells which work as a scrub. If you wash it off with circular motions, it will give you an intensive scrub, so I don't recommend it for sensitive skin. Still, you can wipe it off with water without doing an intensive scrub. After removing it, my skin feels really soft and glowy, however not greasy at all. Almond oil actually helps balance oils on the skin, so think of it that way: if you put oil on oily skin, the pores won't produce as much sebum as there is enough moisture already. I feel like it does do that on my skin, however it probably doesn't work long term.

BB Seaweed - calming / pomirja

Živjo punce.

Verjetno ste na omrežjih Facebook in Instagram že zasledile, da sem postala Mirati ambasadorka. Sicer se je vse skupaj odvilo ravno sredi poletja ter sem se spopadala z goro obveznosti. Končno pa imam nekaj več časa, da se razpišem kako sta mi všeč 2 precej podobna izdelka. Gre za tekoče milo za obraz ter drugi izdelek: tekoče milo za telo. Oba imata svež ampak nežen vonj po limonah ter se občutita zelo negovalno. Naj še omenim, da se s tem, da sem ambasadorka k ničemur ne zavezujem in so moje objave popolnoma iskrene !
Mirati je slovenska kozmetika, ki daje poudarek na maslu Ghee (več o tem drugič), katerega sicer v teh čistilnih izdelkih ne najdete. Gre pa za naravno kozmetiko, kateri so minimalno dodane sintetične sestavine (v izdelkih je 99,3% naravnih sestavin, torej je dodanih samo 0,7% sintetičnih). Prvotni izdelki so bili sicer izdelani v Indiji (od koder je Ghee), ob prejemu Ecocert certifikata pa trenutno kozmetiko že izdelujejo v Sloveniji ! 10 % dobička od prodaje pa gre v dobrodelne namene.

Hello girls.
Since being Mirati ambassador, I got to try some new products from a brands which is actually Slovenian. I instantly fell in love with two products which I'm going to show you today. Both are freshly scented with lemons and feel quite nourishing.
Mirati cosmetics is enriched with Ghee butter (more about it next time), which sadly is not present in these two cleansing products. This lovely brand now also has an ECOCERT certificate being a natural and organic cosmetics. Though the products are made in India, the homeland of Ghee butter.



Zgodba za tem gelom za čiščenje obraza je takšna: bila sem ravno v iskanju novega čistila za obraz ter sem se prijavila za natečaj ambasadorke, pri čemer nisem imela večjih pričakovanj. V čistilni gel sem se zaljubila po nekaj uporabah (več o tem kasneje) saj je popolnoma po mojih pričakovanjih ter me nekako opiše s priljubljenim vonjem po limonah. Sam izdelek me je inspiriral za luštno ampak zabavno fotko s katero sem si kasneje pridobila naziv ambasadorke (na koncu objave).

Kaj ga odlikuje?

Izdelek ne vsebuje parabenov, ftalatov, SLS in sintetičnih dišav. SLS najdemo res povsod in vem, da se mu nekatera dekleta izogibajo saj zna dražit kožo. Zato je Coco Glucoside, ki ga najdeš v tem tekočem milu dober naraven nadomestek saj izvira iz kokosa. Le ta kožo površinsko ampak nežno očisti ter pomaga k temu, da se ustvari pena. Tekoče milo vsebuje tudi aloe vero, ki skrbi za vlaženje ter pomirja kožo po sončenju (super poletni spremljevalec). 

Rumenkasto prosojen gel se na koži takoj občuti zelo vlažilno, tudi pod prsti, ko si spiraš obraz - takšnega občutka še nisem doživela pri nobenem gelu za čiščenje obraza, zato me je čisto prevzel. Potrebuješ res minimalno količino, da se izdelek speni in je tekstura kremasta. Dišava eteričnega olja limone pa te lepo osveži. 

Skratka tekoče milo za obraz sem res dodobra stestirala in mi ga že na žalost zmanjkuje. 

Embalaža pa ima na zadnji strani luknjico, ki omogoča, da se zrak ujame v notranjost tube. Tako lahko ven izstisneš vso vsebino, sploh, ko gre izdelek proti koncu (več tukaj). 

Sestavine:

Aqua, Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), Coco Glucoside, Decyl glucoside, Propanediol, Glycerin, Dehydro Xanthan gum, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Alcohol Dehydroacetic Acid, Lemon essential oil (Citrus lemon).

Cena: 18,18€ (kupite ga lahko tudi tukaj)

Face Wash doesn't contain any parabens, ftalats, SLS or synthetic fragrances. To some people, this is important because products that don't contain SLS are harder to find. That's why they replaced it with a coconut based foaming agent: Coco Glucoside which gently cleanses the skin and helps the product to foam up. One of the best ingredients in this face wash is aloe vera, which helps hydrate and calm down the skin. That's why it's suitable even in the summer and for more sensitive skin. 
The gel is light yellow and when working it up with water it starts to feel really softening and hydrating. You only need a small amount to get that creamy texture. Combined with lemon essential oil, it refreshes your skin and wakes you up a bit. The smell is not overpowering, so it's definitely pleasant.
Another interesting aspect is the packaging, since it has a small air hole at the back, which helps you squeeze out all the product till it's completely empty.

Enak vonj in občutek boste našle tudi pri milu oziroma gelu za tuširanje. Zelo lepo se speni in občutek je precej vlažilen oziroma ne izsuši kože. Seveda, če je koža bolj suhega tipa, jo je kasneje potrebno navlažiti s kakšnim losjonom. Tudi ta vsebuje vlažilno ter pomirjevalno aloe vero.

Sicer bi rekla, da je vonj bolj nežen in ne tako osvežilen kot pri milu za obraz, vendar ni premočen ter ga lahko uporabljam tudi kadar se ne počutim najbolje (včasih mi po močnih vonjih postane malce slabo). Sestavinsko je milo za telo zelo podobno milu za obraz in mi je verjetno tudi zato precej všeč.
Embalaža je manj zanimiva ampak še vedno popolnoma enostavna za uporabo .

Sestavine: 

Aqua, Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), Coco glucoside, Decyl glucoside, Glycerin, Propanediol, Dehydro Xanthan gum, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Alcohol Dehydroacetic Acid, Lemon essential oil (Citrus lemon).

Cena: 9,99€ (kupite ga lahko tudi tukaj)

I found the same hydrating, softening feeling in a shower gel. It foams up very well and I don't get a drying feeling. For a very dry skin I will always recommend a body milk afterwards. Again, it contains a great natural ingredient: aloe vera. This one smells the same as face wash, however a bit more gentle and not as refreshing. That is why I can use it also when I don't feel that great, since sometimes strong scents can make me feel a bit sick, so this one is appropriate all the time. Ingredients are similar to face wash and that's probably why I like it a lot as well.

Hi girls !

At the end of August I went on vacation from Ljubljana to Italy with my boyfriend, his American friend and girlfriend. We had lots of fun and as on every vacation, it seems like I have a tradition to do "a bit" of shopping. Of course in the stores that are not available in our country.

Firstly in Venice I stopped in Khiel's, just because it was the first store I saw. I really needed a lip balm since I forgot mine in a car, parked far away, so I bought Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm which was like 9,50€. Probably the most expensive lip balm I now own. It's minty and feels a bit more like salve, so not that hydrating. I also wanted to try their face masks but the smallest ones were like 18€ or more and I can't buy that many beauty products, so I skipped those. Yup, Khiel's is really expensive.

Then in Kiko I looked around for cushion foundation but the shades didn't impress me, so I picked a Nail Cuticle Oil (2,90€) which comes with a brush applicator and I kinda need it for on the go.

I also stopped by MAC which was packed full of people and I felt sorry for only two girls working inside. I wanted to buy a shader brush but it was like 20€, so I was like hell no, since you can get Zoeva brushes for less. I picked up the last small Prep+Prime Fix + spray to try out (10€). The bigger one was like 18€, however I have a new UD one and this little one is perfect to carry around. And I didn't even get a bag.

Then I could've shopped in Florence but didn't bother (silly me), so on the way home we stopped in Trieste at the shopping centre Torri d'Europa. Immediately I stopped in Sephora where I wasn't that impressed. It's quite a small shop and the selection is not that amazing. Still, I picked up a few things. I decided to mainly focus on brand I haven't tried before: Benefit Cosmetics. The How to Look Best at Everything Kit - Light (34,5€) seemed so appropriate. I just love smaller products to try out and this one covers all the basics: the POREfessional PRO balm, hello flawless oxygen wow foundation - ivory, boi-ing concealer in 01 & 02 and hello flawless powder - ivory + a brush.

p.s. Let me know which products would you like to see on the blog first ?

Pozdravljene !
Morda ste na slovenskih blogih že zasledile kaj informacij o novem Borotalcu dezodorantu s kroglico. Imam občutek, da redkeje govorim o najpomembnejših izdelkih v dnevni rutini, tako sem se lotila tega testiranja z odprtimi mislimi. To leto je bilo res vroče in toplo vreme se še kar ni poslovilo, zato je bil ta čas res primeren za test dezodoranta z intenzivno zaščito.

Hi girls !
Today I'm going to talk about a product which is essential in every day routine, however it seems as if we forget to talk about these things. I'm talking about deodorant by Borotalco.



Borotalco Intensive deodorant promisses intensive 48 protection even for the most active and it's supposed to act against hypersweating. It contains powder which absorbs the sweat and regulates sweating. It doesn't contain any alcohol, so it could be appropriate for sensitive skin.

Personally I am not an active type of person who would go to the gym and run in the nature, however most of the time instead of car I choose walking and cycling and I do that a lot. And when it's hot outside like it was this summer, I really need a great protection. Also I put it on the test in Italy where there were a lot of activities going on.

The deodorant itself smells powdery and quite gentle and wouldn't clash with your favorite perfume. And because the smell is gentle, I thought it would not protect me from bad smells. I was wrong. It does absorb some sweat but mostly it keeps me from smelling bad for the whole day. I cannot say that protection lasts up to 48h, however it definitely is one of the most intensive deodorants.

It doesn't claim to be transparent, however I didn't get any issue with white transfers on my dark clothes. I apply a thin/normal layer (don't put too much on) to my underarm area and wait a bit so it dries and then just dress up. All in all I really like it and was pleasantly surprised. Price varies around 3€.
Based on ingredients it's not a natural deodorant, so if you prefer those, then this one might not be for you.

Hi girls !
Today I wanted to share a few thoughts on makeup bits I've been trying lately and show them on my face as well. There have been so many new launches and these are not all that I've tested through but they seem the best option for a bronzed/coral makeup look.

---

L'Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base
I always start with a mattifying/hydrating cream, however then I mostly use a primer like this one. It's based on silicone so it makes a smooth, even complexion, great for applying makeup. Also it helps a bit with my oily skin.

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation - 010 Light Beige
There's been quite a lot of talk about this product amongst Slovenian beauty bloggers, so I had to try it. Also because it promises light weight texture and matt effect which I totally need on my oily skin. I'd say that it is not too matt and not too shiny. On my skin it lasts for a few hours without moving around and also it doesn't feel heavy at all. I do need to powder my skin as well and I don't feel like it could last up to 24h as it claims. The only thing I dislike about it is the packaging which has a pump to distribute the foundation, however the hole on the top is so small so you could make a lot of mess. Also I can't believe that the lightest shade almost matches my porcelain complexion.

Deborah Radiance Creator Highlighting Concealer - 02 medium
I've talked about this product before here. The coverage is not the best, however I like how easy it applies and blends. Shade 02 medium is perfect. It still brightens the area while being a bit peachy to neutralise purple undertone.

Ebelin Makeup Sponge
Such a great discovery ! I've shown you this sponge in my latest haul (here). So now I can tell you more about it. It's a really soft sponge, which I feel like is hard to find in the drugstore. While most people use it to apply foundation, I use it to blend my foundation at the end and make it look even or flawless. I definitely recommend it. Plus it looks cute/colorful.

Catrice Eyebrow Filler 
This is the only product I haven't changed in two years. So if you have any recommendations for a similar product, leave them below. If you're lazy with your brows, you definitely need it. It gives color to your brows with just a few swipes of a brush and then they look put together and really nice. You can read more about it here.

Freedom Makeup Pro Strobe palette
I've been using this contouring/strobing palette for some months now and it's really nice. Some shades are quite cool and look very natural on the skin. Also sometimes I like to highlight. For the price, I think it's a nice palette. You also get a contouring brush with it which is really useful and makes contouring easier ! You can get it on licila.si - here.

---

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Eden
My favourite eye shadow primer when I need a really long lasting eye shadow. I won't say much but it does the job the best and has a bit of coverage which my veiny eyelids do need. Read a review here.

L'Oreal Miss Hippie mascara
Sometimes I just can't believe how many mascaras companies make. Though L'oreal makes one of my favorite ones. This one leaves your eyelashes with a quite natural, unruly look. If you really like to separate your lashes then this one might not be for you. However, it gives my lashes a nice amount of volume and lenghtens as well.

---

Bourjois Souffle de Velvet 01 Orangelique
Another novelty from Bourjois. There's been such a hype around Velvet Matt lipsticks, which I never tried and then these came out. The texture is thin, easy wearing and comfortable on the lips. It's more of a sheer colour but buildable. The finish is matt but it doesn't dry out my lips too much. Though the smell is so artificial - gladly it disappears quickly.

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
This year I struggled with makeup melting off of my face. I just have oily skin so I can't do much other than prime and set well. So I finally splurged on this spray to finish off my makeup. It doesn't leave you matt or keep oils away completely, however it definitely makes your makeup long lasting. Makeup can still wear off, however very evenly and there aren't any cracks in foundation. Also the spray is really fine and so easy to use.
