Hi girls.

Another three months have passed (god, time flies by so fast) and I've used up quite a lot of products. I'm excited that there's a lot of skincare since I want to slowly try something new, though my skin was irritated for a while, however I'm glad it's back to normal again. So, grab a cup of tea or coffee and get on to reading, lovelies...

Afrodita Cosmetics Hyaluron Shower Gel

This is one of my all time favorite body washes. It smells so nice: refreshing but a tiny bit sweet. Plus it feels very gentle and nice on the skin.

Repurchase: yes

Dvorec Trebnik Juicy Orange shower gel

If you love oranges or citrusy scents, then you need this one. It smells just like oranges and leaves you totally refreshed and awake. Texture was nothing special but it worked great as well.

Repurchase: maybe

Balea You are Gold body lotion

A shimmery body lotion which leaves your skin looking sunkissed and healthy. It is brought out every year and if you need something shimmery and not too greasy, this is a nice lotion.

Repurchase: maybe

4kids And Us Anti-cellulite body milk

This cosmetics line is all about very natural ingredients, so of course the smell was very herbal which I wasn't a fan of because it made my room smell like it. Though I loved the texture since it was so milky but very hydrating. It nourished my skin nicely, though I don't think it worked against cellulite.

Repurchase: maybe

L'Oreal Paris Colorista Washout - Dirty Pink

I used this color to dye my hair pink and it worked better than I expected. It's supposed to wash out after two or three washes, however it lasted for at least a month on me. You can check how it looked right after here and how it faded nicely here, after 10 days. I do wash my hair very often (every third day) and I expected it to fade immediately but it wasn't like that. The main thing is that the light pink stayed on for very long and then it faded into orangey color which was on the hair for 2 months or even more. So be careful when using it. Though I loved the initial effect because my hair is very sun kissed and looks a bit ombre and light on the ends, so the color looked like it was applied more professionally and it worked as an ombre.

Repurchase: maybe

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Tropical scent 

My favorite Batiste scent - it's just so nice, literally tropical, coconuty. I really like Batiste dry shampoos even tough they're not transparent, so they still leave a white residue, however they're kind of better than all the other ones. I tend to buy them on Asos.com especially when on sale. 

Repurchase: yes, already have

Afrodita Cosmetics Kids Sun cream SPF 30

Of course I'm not a child, however this sun cream was great. It has a high SPF and is waterproof so it worked very well on me. Because I'm so pale, I get sunburned easily, however this one protected me very well. Plus, the texture absorbs in quickly, which I love. Sadly the packaging was smaller than usual (100ml), however I'll definitely repurchase is next year.

Repurchase: yes

Afrodita Cosmetics Professional Clean Up Cleansing Foam

This product is a part of professional line from Afrodita Cosmetics and it was very nice (you can get t online in Slovenia here). A very gentle, but thick and creamy foam which smells like chamomile. It gently cleansing the skin and leaves it refreshed.

Repurchase: yes

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Oil Absorbing mask

Sadly I have to throw this mask away. I've used it many times but it is so big (118 ml) that it expired before I could use it up. It was one of the first clay masks and it's a really good one. It dries up meanwhile absorbing all the oils. After 10 minutes or so you wash it off with water and the skin is left very smooth.

Repurchase: maybe

La Roche Posay Physiological Micellar Solution

I think this one has been replaced with the Ultra Micellar Water and I prefer the new version. This one was good, but now it's not available anymore.

Repurchase: no

Bocassy Clean & Tone Micellar Water

I absolutely loved the smell of this micellar water. It was something different but nice. It removed my makeup well and didn't leave the skin dried out. Though sometimes it would sting my eyes.

Repurchase: maybe

Bocassy Serum - Strong Firming & Hydrating

I've had this serum for too long, so I used it up just before it expired. It was my all time favorite serum. Such simple but great ingredients and it didn't make my skin greasy. It was my go to serum when I wanted great hydration. However because it's not the cheapest, I used it sparingly. Read more about it here.

Repurchase: maybe

Jasmin Girl Intimate Wipes

I've previously said that these were not wet enough and I wouldn't repurchase them, but as you can see, I did. This time I think these are just ok and serve their purpose. I like that the top has the plastic closing, so they don't dry out as fast.

Repurchase: maybe

Borotalco Intensive Anti-perspirant

This is one of my all time favorite deodorants. It really works if you sweat a lot (like I did in the summer), so it keeps you stinky-free. More about it in the review here.

Repurchase: yes

Garnier Perfect Blur smoothing perfecting primer

This was one of the first face primers available in the drugstore. It's like silicon and it blurs the skin, so that pores look smaller and skin is evened out. To me, it was just too smooth, so foundation wouldn't apply so well on top. I did try to use it up but I gave up and it became too old.

Repurchase: no

Vichy Pureté Thermale 3in1 One Step Cleanser - sample

I do not agree with the claim of this product. It's supposed to be a cleansing milk, toner and eye-makeup remover all in one. I just don't think this one removes my makeup. It just feels like a nice cleansing milk, great for second cleanse. It is ok, but nothing special.

Repurchase: no

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're not thick, but they totally work and I would say they're nice ! This again is a special edition, so the packaging looks very tropical

Repurchase: yes (always)

CadeaVera Eye Makeup Remover Pads with oil

This is a very travel friendly product. The pads are infused with oil, which is great. They do remove the makeup very well, however they can make your eyes sting. Still I prefer them on the go because I'm very minimalistic with packing when travelling.

Repurchase: maybe

Essence All About Matt ! oil control paper

If you're an "oily skin" kinda girl, you need these. I've spoken about these kind of magical papers here. They're genius because they absorb the oils without removing your makeup. Plus it's better to apply powder afterwards then on just oily skin. These are the cheapest (around 2 €).

Repurchase: already have

Avon Spa Treasures of The Dessert restoring hand cream

A very great hand cream. The texture was thicker, so it moisturised my hands very well due to Argan oil. Plus it wasn't greasy. The smell is maybe a bit oriental but still very nice.

Repurchase: maybe

Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm

I've featured a Pomegranate version of this one very long ago (here) and I loved that one. However, this one left me "meh". It was moisturising, however a bit more on the matt side and not so greasy, so I didn't feel like it was hydrating enough. Plus it's not that cheap. And the peppermint smell wasn't the best either. I don't know how the other version worked better.

Repurchase: no

Labello Original - neon version

I am a fan of original Labello and always will be. It is the best lip balm for my lips and it always works as it is very hydrating. This one was in the neon packaging which is supposed to be glowing in the dark, however I think it's a gimmick since mine wasn't really glowy in my purse. Now they also offer a glittery packaging, which I might need to get soon.

Repurchase: yes

Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine moisturizing lip balm

Unfortunately this one was featured in my post about disappointing products (here). I paid too much (10€) for it to be just slightly moisturising. It wasn't a miracle worker and I prefer some cheaper lip balms.

Repurchase: no

CadeaVera Anti-Shine Mattifying Papers

Another pack of these papers. Sadly I cannot find these in Müller stores anymore, so let me know if you've seen them lately. They were super cheap and compact, so they would just slide into my bag.

Repurchase: unfortunately no

Živjo punce.

Tudi v Sloveniji smo končno pričakali tako opevan tonik/sprej za obraz. Tuje blogerke so ga tako dolgo omenjale, vendar ga na naš trg ni bilo na spregled. Izdelek je namenjen predvsem mastni koži, s katero se soočam tudi sama in mastna T-cona je kar velika nadloga. Sama sem zelo kritična do izdelkov za matiranje kože, saj le redki res delujejo. Zato sem z veseljem testirala ta "čudežen" sprej. Ker izdelek testiram komaj 1 teden, z Vami danes delim prve vtise. 

Hi girls.

Another cult product which I'm sure you've heard of because of it being mentioned so many times on other blogs. Though it was not available in all countries, however in Slovenia, we finally have it. It's a spray, for oily, troubled skin. Which I have and greasy T-zone can really be annoying. That's why I like testing mattifying products and am very critical about them. Though again they might work different on you. Because I've been testing product only for about a week, these are some first thoughts I have on it...

Kaj sploh je ta čudežen izdelek?

Gre za adstrigentni tonik za mastno in problematično kožo. Pomirja draženje na površini kože (tudi po britju). Hkrati pa matira, prečiščuje ter uravnava sebum. Ter je brez parabenov. Vsebuje samo 3 sestavine: Voda, natrijev klorid, cinkov sulfat. Torej gre za raztopino cinkovega sulfata.

Uporaba: obraz očistite z izdelkom, primernim za mastno kožo, in nato popršite Serozinc. Med pršenjem zaprite oči. Počakajte nekaj minut, da se vpije, morebitni višek pa popivnajte z bombažno blazinico. Nato nanesite še prilagojeno nego za mastno kožo.

Ob pritisku, se iz embalaže razprši zelo fin prš in pokrije veliko površino obraza. Pri čemer zna biti malce moker, vendar se tekočina precej hitro vpije. Sama dobim občutek osvežitve in moja koža je pomirjena kar mi je še posebej pomembno, saj je zadnje čase precej razdražena.

Žal pa ne morem reči, da je moja koža povsem matirana in brez sijaja. Da, moja T-cona je malo manj mastna, vendar ima koža še vedno naraven sijaj in videz. Za popolno matiranost pa poskrbi moja dnevna krema, ki je zadnji korak v dnevni negi. Seveda se čez nekaj ur ponovno svetim.
Sprej lahko uporabiš tudi na vrh ličil, saj uravnava sebum, vendar pri meni spet ni tako opaznega učinka. Pa vendar mi je nekako sam koncept všeč, saj ne gre samo za vodo.

Na moji koži Serozinc ni pretirano matirajoč, vendar mi je super kot zelo preprost tonik, ki osveži ter pomiri kožo in jo pripravi na nadaljnjo nego. Priporočam uporabo zjutraj, saj čez noč ni priporočljivo matiranje kože. Prav tako opozarjam, da koža, ki jo venomer matiramo ali ji ne nudimo dovolj vlage, sama dela nasprotno in proizvaja še več olja. Zato prosim vsaj zvečer dajte na obraz dovolj kreme ali tudi kakšna olja, da se koža regenerira. Zjutraj pa je za ličila seveda potrebna malce bolj lahkotna nega, da se ne svetiš čez dan.

Cena: okoli 10€ za 150ml

So what is this product ?

Astrigent toner, specifically designed to target key signs of oily, blemish-prone skin. Skin looks and feels less shiny and greasy and mattified. How to use: pray onto skin after using a cleanser suitable for oily, blemish-prone skin. Close eyes while spraying. Leave to absorb for a few minutes, gently patting off any excess. Follow with a non-oily, non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) moisturiser. Also suitable for acne-prone skin. Ingredients Aqua/Water, Sodium Chloride, Zinc Sulphate.

Tin packaging sprays out a very fine mist, which is lovely as it covers the whole face without being too wet. Afterwards I wait for a minute so it absorbs. It gives me a refreshing and hydrating feeling. Plus it seems to be soothing. It does mattify my skin a bit, however it is not completely shine-free. Actually it just has that natural glow without being as oily as usual. I follow with mattifying cream which gives me the ultimate result. And again after a few hours I look a bit shiny. Of course I've also tried it on top of makeup which results in eliminating a powdery finish and taking away just a bit of that shine. 

To sum up, Serozinc is not as mattifying on my skin, however it is a good, simple toner with refreshing and soothing effect. I recommend using it as a part of morning skincare routine, because it is not that recommendable to use mattifying products at night. So, I have to also warn you that if you suffer from oily skin, please do not over-mattify it because when skin is too dehydrated it might produce even more oil. Rather than that, in the evening apply a good, non-comedogenic cream or even and oil to regenerate the skin. Thought in the morning use light-weight products for a nice base for makeup. 

Price: around 10€ / 150ml.

Pozdravljene.

Danes sem z Vami želela deliti nekaj osnovnih nasvetov ter trikov kako se lotiti nakupovanja kozmetike ter ličil preko spleta. Včasih je preprosto hitreje, če nekaj kupiš preko spleta in potem že komaj čakaš, da se bo doma pojavil paketek. Takrat vse verjetno dobimo občutek, kot da je božič, kajne ?


1. Razišči trg

Najprej se osredotoči na to, kaj točno želiš kupiti ali kaj potrebuješ v svoji zbirki. Poglej po uradnih spletnih straneh najljubših ali še nepoznanih znamk, ki bi jih želela preizkusiti ter preberi opise: npr. katera tekoča podlaga bi bila za tvoj tip kože in kaj zagotavljajo njene lastnosti. Lahko preveriš tudi sestavine in drugo.

2. Pred nakupom na spletu preglej "swatche" in ocene

Nato se prepričaj ali željen izdelek ustreza tvojim kriterijem. Zato pa smo tukaj blogerke saj sem prepričana, da se želiš izogniti zgrešenemu nakupu.
Ko brskaš po spletu, se med Googlovimi slikami najde ogromno fotografij, na katerih so prikazani odtenki in podrobnosti izdelka. To zbirko v večini kreiramo blogerke in ti svetujem, da si pomagaš s fotografijami ter jih primerjaš, saj boš le tako ugotovila, kako npr. izgleda en odtenek šminke na različnih polteh. Prav tako lahko najdeš ocene, ampak pozor! - le te so subjektivne, zato jih je priporočljivo prebrati več, saj ima vsaka lahko drugačno mnenje. Sicer pa so ocene še bolj pomembne, če se odločaš, da boš investirala več denarja v en izdelek. Tako primerjaš tudi kateri izdelek je bolj primeren zate.

3. Preveri in primerjaj cene v različnih spletnih trgovinah

Ko si izdelek že izbrala, pred nakupom ne pozabi primerjati akcij in cen v spletnih trgovinah. Če nakupuješ v Sloveniji, ti svetujem uporabo spletne strani oz. orodja Ceneje.si. Na tej strani lahko najdeš ogromno različnih kategorij, ne samo kozmetike. Tako je iskanje cen pri različnih ponudnikih preprosto in ti prikrajša čas, saj ti brskanje hitro pokaže, kje lahko najceneje kupiš svoj želeni izdelek. Recimo, da z lupo iščeš: "Revlon Colorstay tekoči puder". Ob kliku na izbran izdelek takoj izveš, kje najdeš najbolj ugoden nakup le tega ter te takoj preusmerijo na nakup. Če želiš, pa lahko izbran izdelek primerjaš tudi s cenami podobnih izdelkov.

Lahko preveriš tudi, kateri izdelki so trenutno priljubljeni in kaj ostala dekleta največkrat kupijo na spletu, tako, da klikneš na kategorijo "Lepota in Zdravje" ter se recimo osredotočiš samo na ličila.

4. Prijavi se na novičke spletnih trgovin

Ob prijavi na novičke nekaterih trgovin lahko prejmeš kakšno kodo za popust ter ostaneš na tekočem, kdaj imajo kakšne super popuste ali celo brezplačno poštnino. Prav tako nakupuj v času razprodaj ali recimo, za razne evente, kot so: "Črni petek" (v novembru).

5. Prednosti in triki nakupovanja

Včasih so cene na spletu res nižje, saj takšnim trgovinam ni potrebno najeti fizičnih prodajalcev ipd. Prav tako imaš zagotovitev, da izdelek ne bo že preizkušen, preden pride do tebe. Drogerije pa so polne preizkušenih ličil, saj se punce ne zavedajo, da so za to namenjeni izključno testerji. Vendar pri nakupovanju bodi pozorna, saj pri plačilu po povzetju velikokrat pošta računa še za svoje storitve (pribl. 1 €), poleg že osnovne poštnine. Tako preveri tudi, ali se ti skupaj s poštnino na kateri spletni strani bolj splača nakupovati. In pa pazi, da kupuješ le na preverjenih straneh, saj ne želiš, da pride do prevare, še posebej, če plačuješ s kartico.

In veselo nakupovanje !

O tej maskari sem že veliko poslušala. Tokrat pa sem testirala vodoodporno različico. Kot veste, sama nisem pristaš vodoodpornih maskar, ker običajno na meni res ne delujejo saj imajo manjši učinek na trepalnice in mi efekt ni všeč. Vendar se je ta maskara izkazala za precej odlično. Ima plastično, ukrivljeno krtačko, ki se lepo prilega trepalnicam. Mojim trepalnicam pa podari veliko volumna in jih ne zlepi. Maskara je sicer vodoodporna, vendar se velikokrat malce razmaže, zaradi mojih mastnih vek. Odstranim jo z oljnim odstranjevalcem ličil.

In Slovenian beauty community, an original version of this mascara has been quite hyped up. I've tested the new, waterproof version. However, as you know, I'm not usually a fan of waterproof mascaras, since they don't do much to my lashes and disappoint me with the boring effect. However, this one is a bit different.
The wand is plastic and curved, which curls up my lashes very well and gives them a nice shape. It adds lots of volume and some length as well. Even though it's waterproof, sometimes it did smudge because of my oily eyelids. However I still remove it with oil based remover.

Sama nisem ljubiteljica mat šmink, ki popolnoma izsušijo ustnice, pa vendar rada tu in tam preizkusim kakšno mat šminko, četudi iz firbca. Ultimate Matt šminka me je tako že ob prvem nanosu spomnila na Catrice Matt Lip Artist šminko, ki je v obliki velikega svinčnika in ima podobno teksturo ob nanosu. Tisto šminko imam zelo rada, tako da sem vesela, da je tudi ta zelo prijetna.

Tekstura je zelo žametna in kremasta ob nanosu. Na dotik ima pudrast občutek, pa vendar se zlahka premika. Sam odtenek je res intenziven, saj je potreben samo en nanos, za popolno prekrivnost. 

Čeprav je izgled "matt", so ustnice po več urah nošenja malce suhe, vendar šminka ne pusti groznega občutka zategovanja saj ostane kremasta. Obstojnost pa je precej dobra, čeprav barva ob pitju ali ob jedi zbledi. V bistvu se na rob kozarca lepo odtisne, in na ustnicah samo enakomerno zbledi. Odtenek From Rose With Love je nežno roza (jesenski), ampak še vedno živahen. Izbirate lahko med 6 odtenki.

I'm not the biggest fan of matt lipsticks, because they tend to really dry out my lips, however I test a few from time to time, just because I'm very curious. This lipstick remind me of their version in a crayon which is called: Matt Lip Artist. It has the same creamy texture.
Though it becomes very velvety and powdery after some time. Application is very effortless and feels comfortable on the lips. Pigmentation is great and the lipstick is opaque with just one swipe.
Even though it looks matt, somehow it's creamy for some time and doesn't feel drying.
It is very long lasting, though when drinking or eating it fades off evenly. The shade From Rose With Love is muted pink, so it's very wearable for fall. There are 6 shades available.

Ta senčka je čudovita in zelo zanimiva saj ima "vodno" teksturo. Na otip se občuti malce mokro in hladno ter ima tak "bouncy" efekt. Zato morem sama s prstom po senčki dobro podrgnit in jo potem kar direktno nanesem na oči. Tak nanos mi je najlažji, saj čopič ne pobere toliko senčila. Nanesem jo na celotno veko, ter rob zabrišem s čopičem. Tako se popolnoma posuši in ima na otip teksturo običajne senčke ter se ne odtisne. Prav tako senčila kasneje ne moreš razpacati s prsti, ker se ne premakne nikamor. Na voljo so trije odtenki, 020 pa je "rose-gold". Na mojih vekah se lepo zlije, tako da učinek morda ni tako zelo dramatičen in je super za vsakodnevno uporabo, saj je tudi nanos enostaven.

Verjetno si bom omislila še najsvetlejši odtenek, saj bi bil super za notranje kotičke vek.

I saved the best for last. This eyeshadow is definitely unique with it's "water-like" texture. On the touch it feels cool and a bit wet with a bouncy effect. It's best used tapped on with fingers because the brush doesn't pick up that much color. I apply it all over the lid and blend in the edges with blending brush. Afterwards it dries up quickly and doesn't move anymore, so you cannot smudge it or ruin it. There are three available shades, and 020 is the more rose-gold/peachy shade which blends into my eyelids very well, so the effect might not be that dramatic, however I love the metallic finish. You could also use it to add on top of eyeshadow, in the middle of the lid to brighten the look.
This is a brilliant product and I need to purchase the lightest shades, to give me more lightening effect.

Živjo punce.

Lancôme pogosto sodeluje z modnimi oblikovalci in tako je tokrat združil moči z Olympio Le-Tan, ki je znana predvsem po oblikovanju unikatnih torbic, ki spominjajo na knjige. Pri čemer tudi paleta, ki so jo ustvarili, spominja na knjigo. Gre za omejeno izdajo.

Hi girls.

Lancôme has done some great collaborations with fashion designers (previously with Sonia Rykiel) for some limited collections. This time they've done a collection with Olympio Le-Tan, which is known by her interesting bag designs which look like actual books. Also the palette I'm going to introduce today, looks like a book and is very unique.

Of course, firstly we have to mention the packaging. It's embroidered with gold sides. It might be bulky, however it's a collector item, so I'm sure you won't be travelling with it.

Inside, you get four eyeshadows, four lip powders, a blusher and a glos. It also comes with an eyeshadow/lip brush.

Eye shadows feel buttery and are well pigmented. However with two shimmery shades, there is a fallout. Shade Nommé Désir is a muted white which is perfect for all over the lid or on the brow bone. Paradis is a deep burgundy which allows you to create a smokey eye or give some dimension to the eyes. Next up are shimmery shades. Brun Nacré is taupe and perfect for everyday. And a special one: Gris Argent which is glittery steel colour. The last one you have to apply wet since it's so glittery. However the effect is absolutely gorgeous and this shade would be perfect for winter parties or evening looks. I absolutely adore it. 

The lip powders are interesting as well. They are mess free and better option than lipsticks in the palette. I apply a gloss first and then tap on the lips with a chosen color. It creates a matt effect without being dry. Pigmentation is good and my favorite is the lightest shade: Couture.

Lastly is the blusher. The bow imprint is absolutely gorgeous and the texture is velvety soft. It's highly pigmented and creates a nice natural blushed finish. I love that it's not too rosy.

This palette is gorgeous and definitely a collector item as it looks amazing on the shelf. The price is quite steep, however it's a high-end brand and all the products inside have a high-quality and great longevity, even though the lip powder disappears when eatin/drinking.

Price: around 75€

Živjo punce.

Danes bom govorila o ličilih znamke, katere na blogu še nisem omenjala. To pa zato, ker nisem še ničesar preizkusila. Gre za znamko iz hiše Cosnova (pod okriljem imajo tudi Catrice in Essence) z bolj luksuznimi izdelki (in embalažami) ter malce dražjimi, a še vedno zelo dostopnimi ličili.

Hi girls.

Today I'll talk about a few products from a new-to-me brand. It's part of Cosnova company (which includes Catrice and Essence) and their line is all about more luxurious packaging and higher quality makeup with affordable prices.

Highlighting Drops 010 - 10,99€

Tole je zanimiv izdelek saj v drogerijah redkeje srečamo tekoče osvetljevalce. L.O.V. je tegale zapakiral v ozko embalažo s priročno pipeto. Izgleda tudi luksuzno (in težko), čeprav imam sama probleme pri takšnih izdelkih, ker moreš pipeto res počasi spravit nazaj, da se izdelek ne razlije naokrog. Tekstura je ravno dovolj tekoča. Osvetljevalec pa lahko vmešate v tekoči puder ali ga uporabite samostojno na želenih predelih. Ker imam sicer precej svetlo polt, mi ta svetel, skoraj bel odtenek z roza podtonom zelo ustreza in je opazen. Vsebuje pa tudi opazne bleščice, tako da ne daje samo sijaja, ki bi se zlil s kožo. Zato ta izdelek morda ni za tiste, ki imajo rade nežen, sijoč videz, ki izgleda zelo naravno. Mene te bleščice malce motijo, ker znajo poudariti povečane pore ter nepravilnosti, pa vendar v zmerni količini izgleda lepo na licih ter vekah.

It's rare to see a liquid highlighter in drugstores and this one is a bit more special. It comes in a pipette style packaging which is weighty and looks gorgeous. Pipette is not my favorite since you can spill a product out. The texture of the product is nice, liquid but not too much and you can easily apply it. You can mix it in with a foundation or just use it separately. Because I'm quite pale, this icy white shade with a hint of pink just suits me. Though if you're looking for just a glow, this one might not be for you as it contains small visible glitter. I'm not a fan of them, however in a moderate way, it can look very pretty on the cheeks and eyelids.

Hi girls.

It's time for empties again. And I've successfully used up another batch of Lush products. Some are Limited Edition but some are favorites amongst lushies. Previous Lush empties are available for your read here.

Živjo punce !

Čas je za "prazno kanto" izdelkov. Tokrat se spet fokusiram samo na Lush kozmetiko. Prejšnje Lush "empties" pa si lahko ogledaš tukaj.

I love Juicy shampoo

This is one of my favorite shampoos of all time. I've since found a drugstore love, however nothing beats the amazing fresh smell of this shampoo. It's infused with fruits, so of course it's very tropical and leaves you feeling refreshed (for oily hair). Because of seaweed it's also super softening, so I don't even need a conditioner.

Repurchase: yes

Ker imam masten tip las, sem preizkusila že vse možno in eden izmed mojih najljubših je prav ta. Je zelo tropsko odišavljen saj vsebuje izvlečke sadij, ki lepo očistijo lase, izvleček morskih alg pa lase zmehča, tako da ne potrebujem balzama. Daje osvežileno občutek, vendar las ne pusti popolnoma suhih. Vseeno ga običajno ne uporabljam pri vsakem pranju - 1x na teden uporabim še bolj očiščevalen šampon.

Ponoven nakup: da

Rose Jam shower gel

This is seasonal as well. Though sometimes you can get it in the gifts, all year around. It's rose scented shower gel, however it has a zesty vibe to it. It's quite strong but leaves your skin smelling very nice. Though I get easily bored with it.

Repurchase: maybe

Rose Jam je prav tako božičen vonj tuš gela, čeprav ga velikokrat lahko dobite v darilnih setih celo leto. Diši seveda po vrtnicah, vendar ima malce svež pridih. Vonj je precej močen in jaz se ga kar hitro naveličam.

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Snow Fairy shower gel

A Winter "limited edition" must have. This cotton candy shower gel is definitely something else. Either you love it or hate it. I'm not sweet scents kind of person, however I just love this one. It makes me feel warm, cozy and happy. Plus it's nicely thick and smooth.

Repurchase: yes

Limitirana izdaja tuš gela, ki pride na police vsako zimo/Božič (tudi letos bo na voljo). Ta tuš gel ima vonj po sladkorni peni in je pravi "cuker". Čeprav ne maram veliko sladkih vonjev, pa je ta res poseben in ga morem imet vsako zimo. Prav tako ima gosto teksturo.

Ponoven nakup: da

Snowman shower jelly

If you're not sure what is shower jelly: google it. It's an interesting product: like a soap, but jelly-like because of seaweed extract. It's softening on the skin and works as a shower gel. It might be funny to use, however I like it mostly for washing my hands. This one smells like carrots or actually like berries. It's very nice and only available around Christmas.

Repurchase: maybe

V tej embalaži se je skrival žele za tuširanje - Božična izdaja. Ta je imel vonj po korenčku oz. malce bolj po gozdnih sadežih. Res osvežilno in zanimivo. Za tuširanje pač ni tako priročen, ker hitro razpade na pol, vendar je precej zabaven. Na koncu sem ga uporabila kot milo za roke.

Bouncy Bunny shower jelly

Another shower jelly. This one was shaped like a bunny because it was an Easter edition. Smelled like oranges, very fresh. And again I preferred using it as a soap.

Repurchase: maybe

In še en žele za tuširanje. Ta je bil v obliki zajčka, iz Velikonočne izdaje. Dišal je po pomarančah in sem ga uporabila za umivanje rok.

Karma Kream body lotion

Can't believe it's been almost 3 years since the first time I've tried Karma Kream. It's a rich body lotion with a very specific scent: patchouli mixed with sweet orange oil. So the scent is quite oriental but a bit fresh at the same time. If you like, you like it, otherwise you just don't. When you apply it, the scent lingers until the next day. However the skin is also left very moisturised and happy. Lush body lotions are really the best for hydration !

Repurchase: probably not (have found a new favorite scent: Sleepy)

Minilo je že kar 3 leta odkar sem preizkusila ta losjon. Gre za bogat losjon z masli in olji, ki dobro navlaži kožo ter jo pusti mehko - ob nanosu zvečer, je koža še zjutraj zelo mehka in odišavljena. Posebnost losjona pa je poseben orientalski vonj: preplet pačulija in sladke pomaranče. Tako ima vseeno svež pridih. Lushevi losjoni so res moji najljubši saj mi najbolje navlažijo kožo.

Ponoven nakup: verjetno ne, ker sem odkrila novi najljubši vonj: Sleepy

Ocean Salt face scrub

I feel like I haven't mentioned this product on my blog enough. You can read a review here. It's a great face scrub (can also be used on body), which leaves your skin soft and bright. Even though it can be harsh - you can use a tiny amount mixed with water, I just love the way it makes my skin look.

Repurchase: yes

Tega izdelka morda na blogu ne omenjam dovolj. Celotno oceno pa si lahko preberete tukaj. Gre za odličen piling za obraz (lahko ga uporabljate tudi na telesu) na osnovi morske soli, ki zmehča kožo ter skupaj z limetami poskrbi za sijoč videz. Super je tudi za čiščenje por. Sicer zna biti grob, vendar lahko majhno količino zmešate z več vode. Občutek na koži pa je čudovit.

Oatifix face mask

This was my saviour during colder months (have a read about it here). My skin got very dry an flaky, so this face mask helped me a lot. It is very thick and a bit oily, so it's very hydrating. Plus it calms the skin. Also it smells like cookies, so that's another bonus. It surprises me that it doesn't dry down on the skin, so you just remove it with cloth and a bit of water. I'll exchange my 5 pots for this one this winter as well :)

"Repurchase": yes

Pozimi sem pisala o tej maski za obraz, saj mi je rešila suho kožo (več tukaj). Moja koža se je lupila in medtem, ko nobena krema ni pomagala, je maska opravila svoje delo. Ima zelo gosto teksturo, ki je ekstra vlažilna. Na koži se sploh ne posuši in jo nato odstraniš z toplo vodo in kakšno krpico. Verjetno se bo to zimo spet znašla v moji rutini.

"Ponoven nakup": da 

Eyes Right mascara

Yes, Lush does mascara as well. It has only 3 synthetic ingredients and is infused with fresh wheat grass to condition the lashes. Plus most girls which have very sensitive eyes, love it. I dislike the packaging because the brush can be so awkward and you can't get a lot of product out. Though I liked the natural effect it had on my lashes: it's lengthening, not so much volumizing, but it's quite black too.

Repurchase: probably not

Tako je, Lush ima v svoji kolekciji tudi maskaro. Ta vsebuje minimalno količino sintetičnih sestavin ter izvleček pšenične trave, ki neguje trepalnice. Primerna je tudi za občutljive oči ("občutljivke" jo precej hvalijo). Na žalost pa ima malce smotano embalažo: je tako majhna ter iz nje ne spraviš vsega produkta. Učinek na trepalnicah pa je meni sicer všeč: podaljša trepalnice, doda malce volumna in je zelo črna. Vseeno pa ni takšnega wau učinka kot pri običajnih maskarah.

Ponoven nakup: verjetno ne

Santa's lip scrub

Another seasonal product. If they bring it out this year, you have to get it ! It's Coca Cola flavoured - so yummy. As any of their scrubs, it's effective and nice, however I really love this flavor.

Repurchase: yes

Še en sezonski ampak čudovit izdelek. Piling za ustnice z Božičnim vonjem/okusom po Coca Coli. Ta je meni eden najljubših, ker je enostavno yummy ter dobro odstrani odmrle celice z ustnic.
