Embalaža je zelo unikatna, saj je tridimenzionalna z vezenino. Luksuzen poudarek pa ji daje zlat sijaj ob straneh.

V paleti se skrivajo štirje odtenki senčil za oči, štirje pudri za ustnice, rdečilo za lica ter glos in priložen čopič za senčilo in ustnice.

Senčila so zelo "kremasta" in se zlahka nanašajo. Bleščeči odtenki pa se malce drobijo. Odtenek Nommé Désir je bež z mat učinkom ter je super za nanos kot osnova čez celotno veko ali pod obrvmi. Sledi mu odtenek Paradis, kateri je rjavo vijoličen in je super za pregib veke ter videzu doda dimenzionalnost, hkrati pa omogoča, da z njim narediš "smokey eye" videz.

Sledita bolj sijoča odtenka. Brun Nacré je sivkasto rjav odtenek, ki je zelo nosljiv s sijočim učinkom. Zadnji: Gris Argent je bleščeč, srebrn odtenek, katerega pa je najbolje nanašati na moker način. Tako daje dramatičen učinek in bo super za praznične/decembrske dni ali za večerni videz. Je kar unikaten in je moj najljubši.

Magnetic Loose Eyeshadow - 570 Cosmic Gravity - 9,99€

To senčilo je definitivno zanimivo saj so prosti pigmenti bili namagneteni. Pri čemer naj bi se senčilo bolje oprijelo vek ter bilo dolgo obstojno in intenzivno. Senčilo pa ima žametno teksturo. Za bolj metalik/moker videz, se lahko senčilo nanese tudi z mokrim čopičem.

Ugotovila sem, da je najboljše nanašanje s tapkanjem in ne zabrisovanjem, saj pri tem senčilo izgubi veliko sijaja in ni tako pigmentirano. Tako bi ga sama uporabila pri videzu bolj na sredini veke, za dramatičen učinek. Lahko se uporablja tudi na moker način, pri čemer naj bo čopič rahlo moker, saj se senčilo z vodo dobesedno stopi in je zelo tekoče. Pusti pa učinek "folije" in moreš malce počakat, da se posuši. Na žalost so moje veke bolj mastne in tudi ob uporabi podlage za senčila, se ob obeh nanosih senčilo "odtisne" na vrh veke. Vsekakor pa je zanimiv učinek in če nosite dramatičen make-up ali potrebujete nekaj za ekstra priložnost, ga je morda vredno preizkusit. 

This is an interesting eyeshadow which is very similar to the one MAC brought out. It's magnetized, so that it would be more long lasting and would hold up on the eyelids for longer. And it has an interesting, velvet texture which is very fun to look at. 

While playing with it, I found tapping it on with a finger worked best because when you try to blend it, it just looses that shine. If that's not metallic enough for you, you can use it with a wet brush which results in foil effect and is very dramatic. Though you have to wait for it to dry. Sadly my eyelids are a bit on the oily side and this eyeshadow just tends to transfer up onto my upper eyelid. 

It's a very innovative product and if you want to achieve ultimate party look, it might definitely be worth a try.

Effaclar Ultra Micellar Water

Tekoči pudri se poleti kar hitro topijo s kože. Zato velikokrat posežem le po korektorju, saj ta že z nanosom tankega sloja nudi več prekrivnosti. Pri čemer uporabim mokro gobico za ličila.  Korektor z dolgo obstojnostjo (Lancome Long-lasting Softening Concealer - 01) nanesem na sredino čela, malce na nos ter na lica in brado, ter ga tako od znotraj navzven zabrišem s tapkanjem gobice. Korektorja ne potrebujem po celem obrazu, zato ga nanesem ravno toliko, da izenačim ten ter prekrijem nekaj nepravilnosti. Pod oči pa nanesem bolj vlažilen korektor s hialuronsko kislino: Bourjois Radiance Reveal (01), saj se mi od vročine področje pod očmi hitro suši.

Nato si malce definiram še obrvi z Golden Rose obarvano maskaro za obrvi (Brow Color Tinted Eyebrow Mascara). Ta poskrbi, da so moje obrvi vidne ter se ne zbriše. Maskaro zabrišem s krtačko za obrvi.

Sledi najbolj pomemben korak: nanos transparentnega pudra, ki omogoča dolgoobstojnost ličil ter vpija olja s kože. Trenutno uporabljam Paese puder v prahu. Gre za rižev puder, ki je zelo fino mlet ter absorbira odvečen sebum s kože, hkrati pa ne izsuši kože. Ti pudri so vedno zelo "prašni", vendar se le ta ob nanosu na kožo zelo lepo zlije, ter se ne opazi. Res je fantastičen, saj se niti po nekaj urah ne svetim, ter moja ličila ostanejo nedotaknjena dalj časa.

Nato nanesem bronzer, za zagorel videz. Že nekje 1 mesec uporabljam novost od Max Factorja: Crème Bronzer - v kamnu, v odtenku Light Gold (obstaja še temnejši, Medium Bronze), kateri je super za svetlo polt. Ne le da odtenek izgleda zelo naravno, temveč pristaja moji polti, ki ni tako porjavela. Tekstura je fina in se lepo zlije s kožo. Enako odličen je kot njihova Creme Puff rdečila in je eden izmed mojih najljubših izdelkov to poletje. Nanesem ga na obraz v obliki črke "E" ter tudi na pregib veke za definicijo ter tako dodam še malo topline na veke.

Na notranje kotičke oči pa sem nanesla mojo novo najljubšo senčilo: Colourpop - Going Rouge. Gre za svetlo bež senčilo, z lepim sijajem. Malce sem ga uporabila tudi kot osvetljevalec in izpade prav lepo.

Za končen videz oči, sem izbrala Avon Mark - Big & Daring maskaro, ki trepalnicam doda predvsem lep volumen. Krtačka je velika ter lepo priviha trepalnice. Za končen videz kakršnega imam rada sama, z njo večkrat "počešem" trepalnice. Ni najbolj dramatična maskara, vendar mi je všeč kako lepo razporedi trepalnice. Spominja me na Big & False Lash, saj ima tudi ta ekstremno obstojnost. Ne gre za vodoodporno maskaro, vendar deluje kot da bi bila. Je tako obstojna, da je micelarna voda ne odstrani ter uporabim oljni odstranjevalec. Prav tako pa na koncu dneva trepalnice izgledajo enake ter se mi maskara v največji vročini ne odtisne na zgornji pregib veke (to se mi velikokrat dogaja).

Videz zaključim s šminko, ki osveži videz. Sama imam najraje kremaste, v oranžkastih in koralnih odtenkih. Zato je Rimmel Moisture Renew šminka v odtenku: In love with ginger (660) pravšnja zame. Ustnic ne izsuši in čeprav je kremasta, je kar dovolj obstojna. Za podaljšanje obstojnosti nanesem 1 sloj, ga potapkam z robčkom ter ponovim nanos.

In še za konec: Avon Mark sprej za fiksiranje (Setting sprej). Seveda, kot že samo ime pravi: sprej fiksira ličila ter odstrani "praškast" videz ličil. Lahko pa se uporabljal tudi za pripravo kože na ličila. Meni se zdi, da kar pomaga malce podaljšati obstojnost, ter poskrbi da se vse na mestu. Ni mi pa všeč, da mi malce strdi lase, ko ga napršim na obraz in mi uide naokoli. Seveda je fajn preizkusit nekaj novega, vendar verjetno ne bo zamenjal UD All Nighter spreja, ki ga uporabljam, ko je nujno.

Kljub temu je Avonov sprej dobra alternativa.

ENGLISH 

Firstly I apply mattifying cream (for my usually oily skin) and wait a couple of minutes and afterwards I repeat the same with a cream with SPF.

Because foundations slide off easily in the heat, I opt for only concealer which gives me more coverage applying a thin layer. So I use a damp beauty blender with Lancome Long-lasting Softening concealer. I apply it on the centre of my face: a bit on forehead, nose, cheeks and chin and then blend it out by tapping with a sponge. That is just enough to even out my skin and cover up any small imperfections. Under the eyes I use a more hydrating concealer with hyaluronic acid: Bourjois Radiance Reveal, because my under eye area has been drier due to hot/dry weather.

Afterwards I define my brows using Golden Rose Brow Color Tinted Eyebrow Mascara. It gives me enough color and definition. To blend it out, I use a spoolie.

And then I follow with the most important step: applying translucent powder. Currently I'm using Paese Rice Powder which really absorbs all the oils, but doesn't dry out the skin. It's finely mild and prolongs the wear of makeup. After a few hours I'm still not that shiny and my makeup is in place. Plus it doesn't give me a powdery look.

To add more shine, I added a Colourpop - Going Rouge eyeshadow to inner corners of the eyes and a bit on the cheeks as a highlighter. It's a nice light beige shade with pretty shimmer in it. 

Then I follow with a bronzer for a really nice summery look. I've been using Max Factor Crème Bronzer in the shade Light Gold (also a darker shade is available: Medium Bronze) which is perfect for my pale skin which doesn't get that tanned. It looks very natural and beautiful on the skin. And it has the same nice texture as their Creme Puff blushes. I apply it in the shape of a letter E and a bit into the crease of eyes to add some definition and warmth.

To complete the eye look, I use Avon Mark - Big & Daring mascara, which gives me nice volume and with a big wand curls up my lashes. It's not that dramatic, so I make sure to brush through eyelashes a few times to achieve the wanted look. It really separates the lashes. It's very long wearing, even though it's not really waterproof. I do have to remove it with oil based remover. However that's why I like it in the heat because it doesn't transfer onto my upper eyelid (which usually happens to me) and looks the same at the end of the day.

Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Purifying gel
I loved this cleansing gel, especially for double cleansing. Firstly I would remove makeup with micellar water and then grab a face brush and use this gel. It foams up greatly and cleanses deeply. Afterwards I would have a squeaky clean skin. Though I would not recommend it using in colder months or if your skin is dry because it could be drying. It did work fine for me, so I was happy. Plus, the pump is so handy.

Uriage Cleansing Make-up remover foam
I wrote about this cleanser here. It was nicely creamy and thick, plus it makes your skin feel nice and not dried out. I used it at night and in the morning and really loved it. Though I didn't initially use it for removing my makeup.

Garnier Biphase Micellar Clenasing Water in Oil 
This micellar water is infused with oils, so it's very easy to remove makeup. It does the job amazingly, plus it smells very fresh. And in comparison to any oil makeup remover it is much better since it's not that greasy. Though it may not be for those who dislike cleansing oils or such since it can leave behind a bit of a greasy feeling. However I always double cleanse my face so it's perfect for me.
Repurchase: yes

Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Foaming Face Wash
This face wash is supposed to remove excess oil and is infused with lemon and honey. It was nicely cleansing but without drying out the skin because the texture was very creamy. Though I didn't like the scent: it was just overpowering and too much for a product like that.
Repurchase: probably not

Uriage Eau Thermale
Thermal waters in spray are very useful in summer months. So this mini was great even on the go. I spray it directly onto the face or cotton pad. It soothes the skin and feels refreshing. I also love using it after a face mask or a scrub to sooth my skin and re-hydrate.
