Živjo punce.
Preden smo prešli v karanteno, sem prejela velikodušen paket Catrice in Essence novosti. S pomladjo so v drogerije dodali veliko novosti in nekaj sem jih imela priložnost preizkusiti. Iskreno, sem izdelke preizkušala tudi kar doma in je malce trajalo. Ampak končno sem skupaj spravila objavo...

Hi girls.
Honestly, I received this generous Essence & Catrice package right before we got into quarantine. Of course being spring, there are so many new products in drugstores even with this Corona virus going on. I was excited about new products so I was testing them even at home. But it took a while to test them all and compile today's post...





Talisman (is actually ok), Power (so much fall out), Enchanted (also quite ok), Wicked (is dark in the pan, but performs badly when applied)

Odtenki paletke so v vijoličnih in roza ženstvenih tonih. Najbolj mi je v oko padel sredinski lila odtenek z veliko bleščicami, ampak me je najbolj razočaral. Pravzaprav se senčilo sploh ne da nanesti, saj je zelo trdo in na čopič ali prst ujamem samo nekaj bleščic. Poizkusila sem tudi z mokrim čopičem, ampak je res slaba senčka. Morala bi biti bolj mehka in kremasta, da bi se odtenek lepo prenesel na oči. Matt odtenki so vredu, ampak tudi niso najboljše pigmentirani. 

Na voljo je še podobna paleta: Minnie, katera pa ima bolj rdečkaste tone in izgleda res zanimivo. Žal me je pigmentacija te paletke malce razočarala. Sem preizkusila že kakšno res boljšo od Catrice.

I will just give you a short review of this palette because I was disappointed by it. When you first look at it, the shades look so pretty. However the glittery shades give no pigment and are really hard to use. You can only pick up a bit of glitter, no pigment and it's so hard to apply. They should have a more jelly consistency rather than dry. Matt shades are ok, but still the pigmentation is not great.
They have another palette in more burgundy and natural shades but I think it would disappoint me again. Catrice usually has nice, pigmented palettes but this one was quite bad.

Seveda nisem potrebovala še ene maskare in tudi preveč jih imam že odprtih. Pa vseeno sem prebrala, da se nekaterim dopade in sem jo še sama testirala. Gre za "tubing" maskaro, ki ovije vsako trepalnico posebej in se odstrani tudi samo z vodo, saj se potem preprosto odsvaljka dol. Ne zlepi trepalnic in ne povzroča grudic, tako, da gre za preprosto nanašanje brez packanja. Trepalnicam podari volumen in tudi dolžino. Sicer bi si želela, da bi bila še bolj volumenska, ker imam sama res rada videz tisočerih trepalnic. Res se ne razmaže (testirano tudi ob popoldanskem spancu) in ob solzah ali vodi se samo zdrobi dol. Raje imam, da me pod veko čaka kakšna pikica maskare, kot pa, da sem cela razpacana kot panda. Imam pa bolj mastne veke in se mi maskara kar hitro razpaca. Tako, da lahko za tole rečem, da me je presenetila. Res je dobra in jo priporočam, če imaš težave z obstojnostjo maskare.

This is a tubing mascara, so it wraps itself around the lashes. It lasts all day and can even withstand sweat and tears. Also it doesn't clump or crumble and can easily be removed with warm water. I really put it on the test and it's amazing. It doesn't smudge, it just crumbles off in such situations which I really like because when my eyelids become more oily, usually I would look like a panda (duh), but with this one I just see a dot of mascara here or there under my eyes. It's easy to just wipe it away and you still look fresh. I like the brush because separates lashes nicely and coats them individually. It gives you volume and length. Though I wish it would be even more volumizing because I love the look of "million" lashes. Still, I think it looks very nice on my lashes.  This mascara really surprised me and it's one of my favorite drugstore ones right now. I do recommend you trying it out, especially if you have trouble with longevity of mascaras.

Hi girls.

Today's post will be a bit different. It's in a collaboration with Femme Luxe Finery who have kindly let me choose some pieces from their website to review them. I know I do fashion posts only once a year, but you can find more of my fashion and looks on my Instagram. I chose some classic pieces which I love to wear on a daily basis and some Loungewear. The clothes are quite affordable and right on trend. You can also find some unique pieces. If you want to see more of their collection, check their website here. You can also follow them on their Instagram for more trendy inspiration.

First item is a white T-shirt. I love simple but chic cotton T-shirts like this. I wear them all the time. You can pair white T-shirt all year around, and also for summer it will make your tan stand out more. You can wear it with a skirt, jeans or even at home with some leggings or cycling shorts because it's a casual shirt. When I style it with jeans, I would tuck it in the top of my pants, but you can also tie it into a knot, so it's more of a cropped look and the shape looks a bit more structured. Otherwise it's quite an over sized shirt.The writing on it says: Oh La La which is quite cute. They have a bunch of other writings as well. I'm wearing size S (6/8). You can purchase it here.

This dress I thought wouldn't fit me because I got the size 10 (smaller sizes were out of stock) but I really liked the look of it, so I chose it anyway. I think it still works for me (usually I wear 6 or 8) and doesn't look too big. Because I'm a bit taller I wouldn't wear it as a dress but it is a nice shirt blouse. I think the shape is nice because in the middle section gives you nice shape to your body. At the same time it is quite a smart look. You could pair it with leather leggings or light jeans for spring/summer time. The fabric feels very well made. You can purchase it here.

And lastly we have this grey set it so on trend right now. Since we've been in quarantine, this is all I wanna wear at home. It's nice to have a nice looking set of lounge wear at home. This one doesn't look as boring and grubby. And those Joggers are especially comfortable. The strings are just decorative but the joggers are still very stretchy so it's true to the size (i got size S/M - 8/10). The material is a bit more artificial but it feels so soft and comfy. Plus it's very lightweight. I think the price (22,95€) for a whole set is a bargain. You can purchase it here.

- Do you like any of these pieces ? And tell me which one is your favorite !

*Pieces were sent to me, however opinion is 100% my own.

Živjo punce.

Spet en večji premor med objavami. Ta karantena pač ne vpliva dobro na mojo ustvarjalnost ali željo po tipkanju, ker se nič novega ne dogaja. Pa vendar mi je prišlo na misel, da vam danes predstavim moje najljubše podlage. Seveda so to tekoči pudri za mastno kožo, ker imam tak tip kože. Nekaj teh podlag boste našli v moji celotni zbirki tekočih podlag (tukaj). In ja, Dior in MAC podlago morem letos nujno porabiti, ker jima je rok uporabe potekel že en čas nazaj. Pa vendar se vonj in tekstura nista spremenila, zato sem ju obdržala. Pa preidimo na moje favorite tekočih podlag. Seveda je vsaka mastna koža tudi malce drugačna in morda ne bodo ustrezale vsaki koži. Jaz lahko rečem za te tekoče podlage, da jih bom uporabljala še naslednjih 10 let (če jih ne bodo dali iz prodaje)...

Hi girls.
It's been a while since I posted again. This quarantine is not doing anything good for boosting my creativeness but it's making me write even less. Well that's because nothing's been happening right now. Though I wanted to share my favorite foundations of all time. Some of them you can find in my foundation collection post (here). I know I should've thrown out Dior and MAC foundation, since they've probably been way past their expiration date. However the scent and texture are still the same, so they look all right. So let's see which are my favorite foundations. Keep in my that these for me are great for an oily skin - that's the type of my skin. I'm sure not every foundation works the same on everyone, but I still want to share what works great for me. And I would repurchase and use these foundations for 10 years or more (if they will not be discontinued) because I like them so much...

IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40 - Fair

Tole je hibrid negovalne kreme ter tekočega pudra v enem. Namenjena je korekciji kože (poenoti polt, izenači ten, zmanjša videz rdečice...). Tekstura je gostejša, penasta. Z Zoeva 102 Silk Finish čopičem  se zelo lepo in hitro zabriše. Odtenek Fair je za mojo kožo ravno dovolj svetel, vendar ni popoln. Pa vendar se nekako zlije (naj vas swatch na roki ne zavede, ker na obrazu ni tako temen). Najbolj mi je všeč, da na koži pusti lep naraven učinek. Ena pumpica je dovolj za celoten obraz. Za popolno prekrivnost priporočam dve pumpici. CC krema je lahkotna in čez dan je na koži ne občutim. Moja koža po nekaj urah izgleda bolj mastna kot pri uporabi Revlon Colorstay pudra, vendar me ne moti saj izgleda naravno. Prekrivnost se čez dan zmanjša, vendar podlaga ne razpade narazen. Super je, da ima SPF 40. Ni najbolj obstojna podlaga - je v osnovi CC krema. Pa vendar se za tak izdelek obnese zelo dobro in mi je za vsak dan zelo všeč, saj ne daje občutka maske. Priročna je tudi za potovanja, ker embalaža ni steklena. Sicer je precej dražja, vendar je meni res všeč. Celotno objavo  in več fotografij si lahko pogledate tukaj.

I've always wanted to try It Cosmetics CC cream but it was hard to get my hands on it, since they don't sell it in Slovenia. As you can see I've been loving it ever since I bought it, so it soon became my favorite and I used up quite a lot of it. It is a CC cream, so it is not as full coverage as a liquid foundation and has some cream properties. It has a thicker texture but it applies so nicely with Zoeva 102 Silk Finish brush. Shade Fair might not be perfect for my skin as it is a bit darker, however it still blends nicely. I mostly love this "foundation" because how lightweight it feels on the skin and has a beautiful natural finish - it's not too matt. It offers just enough coverage with one pumps, however for full coverage you need two pumps. As for longevity, after a whole day of wear, my skin tends to become more oily in comparison to Revlon Colorstay. But still, it doesn't break apart, the skin just looks a bit more shiny. Though coverage is fading a bit. I love it for everyday because it doesn't give me a mask feeling. That's why it soon became my favorite. Also the packaging is great for travel since it's not glass. Full review and more pictures here.

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation - 40 Light Ivory

Ta tekoča podlaga me je tako presenetila, da je po nekaj mesecih pristala med mojimi top tekočimi podlagami. Res stežka najdem tekoči puder, ki me res očara. Predvsem mi je padel v oči zelo svetel odtenek (na voljo je še svetlejši - 30 Porcelain) kar pri Max Factorju ne vidimo pogosto. Odtenek 40 je meni dovolj svetel in se lepo zlije s kožo. Tekstura je bolj tekoča, vendar je prekrivnost še vedno dobra: srednja. Pusti lep naraven, malce matirajoč izgled. Ko imam suho povrhnjico, tega ne poudari preveč ter ne zateguje kože. Na koži se obdrži ves dan, čeprav malce zbledi. Edino za poleti ne bo moja naj izbira, ker ne matira popolnoma. Več tukaj. 

This foundation is newer to my collection - I've had it for just a couple of months, but it has already slipped into my top 5 foundations. This foundation impressed me because when my epidermis got drier, everything emphasised the drier patches. However the texture of this foundation is lighter and it blends into the skin easier. I love that they have lighter shades available (there is also a paler one - 30 Porcelain) which is perfect for "Snow White" skin types. Coverage is not the best, but it's good enough for me (medium). The finish is natural and it stays on nicely for quite some hours with a bit of fading. Though I'm sure it won't be my favorite for summer because it's not matt enough.

Dior DiorSkin Forever - 010

Tole je verjetno najdražji puder v moji zbirki in ga preveč šparam. Letos ga morem porabit ali pa bo šel počasi v smeti zaradi roka uporabe. Sama embalaža je res čudovita, v matiranem steklu - čeprav mi je dvakrat padel na ploščice in se je steklo okrušilo. Podlaga je do srednje prekrivna in izgleda zelo lepo naravno na koži. Res jo olepša ter je na pol matt in sploh ne daje pudrastega izgleda. Prav tako lepo diši. Najsvetlejši odtenek je čisto malo pretemen za mojo kožo, vendar je kar vredu, če ga zmešam s posvetlitvenimi kapljicami.

Probably the most expensive foundation is this Dior one. I've been saving it too much, so I need to use it up, otherwise it will go into the trash since it's out of date. Even the packaging with frosted glass is amazing - thought I dropped it twice and it's cracked. It has medium coverage and looks very natural, not powdery at all. It is semi-matt so it won't stay on as long, however it is still great for oily skin. Basically I love it for the nice natural finish and it doesn't look oily on my skin. The lightest shade is tiny bit too dark for me, however I can mix it with lightening drops.

Živjo punce.

Razmišljala sem o čem naj pišem trenutno, ko je situacija povsod tako čudna. Pa vendar je tudi meni dolgčas doma in si želim pisati o stvareh, ki me veselijo. Danes sem se odločila, da omenim izdelke, ki sem jih nakupila pred kratkim (mesec ali dva nazaj) in so mi všeč ali se mi zdijo vredni omembe. Ne pozivam vas k nakupu izdelkov ampak če nakupujete, to storite preko spleta...

Hi girls.

I've been thinking what to write about and I know the time is difficult right now, but I am still bored and want to share a few things with you. I decided to talk about a few recent purchases because they're worth mentioning. If you decided you need something, just purchase it online. But still, you don't need these products. However they excite me...

L'Oreal Paris Glow Mon Amour Liquid Highlighting Drops - Champagne

Zares čudovit osvetljevalec. Seveda nisem potrebovala še enega, pa vendar sta me odtenek in sijaj zelo pritegnila. Tekstura je malce bolj oljnata, kar nisem pričakovala. Vendar mi je to všeč, saj se lažje zabriše ter ni preveč gost ali lepljiv. Posuši se malce počasneje, a se zato lepše zabriše. Potrebuješ res majhno količino (kapljico) in sama ga nanesem ter zabrišem kar s prsti. Odtenek je popoln, bež "šampanjec" in na koži izgleda lepo "naravno". Definitivno je eden izmed mojih najljubših.

This is a gorgeous highlighter. Not that I needed another one but the shade and shimmer in this one is really special. The texture is a bit oily, which I didn't expect, however that's why it blends easily and is not thick or sticky. You only need a small amount and I usually apply it with just my fingers. The shade is perfect champagne and it blends into the skin so easily. I definitely forgot to mention it in my last favorites. Scroll to bottom for a picture.

Inebrya Ice Cream No-yellow Shampoo

Tale šampon sem ponovno kupila, ker mi ga bo počasi zmanjkalo. Je najboljši vijoličen šampon in vsako, kateri sem ga priporočila, je navdušil. Ni poceni (okoli 10€) ampak je res temno vijolične barve in zelo dobro pigmentiran, tako, da res daje hladen ton lasem. Celoten opis in oceno si lahko preberete tukaj.

I repurchased this shampoo because I'm running out of it. And I just love it. It's the best purple shampoo I've tried. It's very purple and it really cools the shade of the hair. It's not the cheapest but it's worth it. If you wanna read more about it and see before and after, click here.

Too Faced Sex Hangover Mascara and Primer Duo Mini Set
Ta set sem kupila v Amsterdamu. Maskaro sem že imela in porabila in je res odlična. Čeprav imam nekje 10 neodprtih maskar, včasih želim le najboljše od najboljšega. Zato sem tudi tole vzela na zalogo. Res je zelo volumenska ter naredi trepalnice bolj dramatične. Več slik maskare lahko najdeš tukaj. Primerja pa še nisem preizkusila in me precej zanima. Si želite kakšne ocene ?

I bought this set in Amsterdam. I had mascara before and it is a really good one, so I wanted to repurchase it. Not that I need a new mascara, because I have like 10 unopened ones, but this is one of my favorite ones. Sometimes I just want to use what's best of the best. It came in a set with a primer which I haven't tried yet but I should soon. Are you interested in a review?

Živjo punce.
Že dolgo se nisem oglasila na blogu. Preprosto nisem imela energije in spet imam neke težave z zdravjem - o katerih vas ne bi dolgočasila, saj ima vsak svoje probleme. Danes pa vam predstavim moje favorite meseca februarja. Te izdelke sem res redno uporabljala...

Hi girls.

It's time for a new post. I've been waiting a while to post it because I simply didn't have energy or could not be bothered because I had some health issues again. But I don't want to bore you with that, so let's just introduce you to my monthly favorites. These products I've been really using a lot...

Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation - 40 Light Ivory

Zadnji mesec in pol sem uporabljala to tekočo podlago. Pudrov ne menjam tako pogosto, vendar se je pozimi moja koža spet malce spremenila in je povrhnjica bolj suha, zato ji Revlon Colorstay ne odgovarja, saj poudari suhe predele. Ko sem prejela to podlago, sem jo kar hitro začela testirati, saj bi tudi naj bila dolgoobstojna ter mi je predvsem padel v oči zelo svetel odtenek (na voljo je še svetlejši - 30 Porcelain) kar pri Max Factorju ne vidimo pogosto. Odtenek 40 je meni dovolj svetel in se lepo zlije s kožo. Tekstura je bolj tekoča, vendar je prekrivnost še vedno dobra: srednja. Ni tako prekriven kot kakšna "maska", pa vendar pusti lep naraven izgled in tudi finiš je naraven, malce matirajoč vendar ne preveč. Trenutno mi je všeč in se na koži obdrži ves dan, čeprav malce zbledi. Se mi pa zdi, da za poletje ne bo vredu, ker ni popolnoma matt in se bo z obraza hitreje stopil. 

I've been using this foundation a lot for the past month. My skin got a bit drier, so Revlon Colorstay foundation really emphasised the drier patches. Then I switched to this foundation and was quite impressed. I love that they have lighter shades available (there is also a paler one - 30 Porcelain) which is perfect for "Snow White" skin types. The texture is quite runny but coverage is still good enough: medium. It won't cover major imperfections though. The finish is natural and it stays on flawlessly for quite some hours with just a bit of fading. For now I love it, however I think when summer is here, this foundation will not be matt enough and will just slide off of my face.

Catrice Instant Awake Concealer - 005 Neutral Light

Catrice korektorji so eden tistih drogerijskih "must have" izdelkov, saj se običajno izkažejo za zelo dobre. Ta nov korektor je tudi mene navdušil. Sicer gre za bolj lahko, malce vlažilno teksturo. Pa vendar meni to trenutno paše, saj imam bolj suho kožo kot ponavadi. Lepo se zabriše in se ne vsede gubice pod očmi (seveda ob fiksiranju s pudrom v kamnu ali prahu). Ter ne zateguje kože saj ima malce vlažilen občutek. Pakiranje mi ni najljubše, pa vendar je priročno. 

Catrice concealers are quite great. This one I love that it's really lightweight and a bit hydrating because my skin has been on the drier side since it's winter time. It wears nicely and doesn't crease much under the eyes. Though of course you have to set it with a powder.

Avon HerStory Nude Suede Lipstick

Tale šminka se mi je priljubila, ker je odtenek lep "naraven". Nekako je bež, ampak ni preveč temen ali preveč svetel. V glavnem pristaja moji svetli polti. Hkrati pa je tekstura zelo udobna. Je na pol matt in ne izsuši ustnic. Tako, da je udobna za nošenje čez dan. Tudi obstojnost je kar dobra, čeprav ne ostane na ustnicah ob mastnih jedeh. Všeč mi je tudi saden vonj.

This lipstick I've been mainly loving because of the nice nude shade. It's kind of beige but not too light or too dark. It has a nice semi-matt finish, so it stays on for quite a while. Plus the smell is nicely fruity. 

Batiste Original dry shampoo

Batiste is my favorite dry shampoo of all times. Though I'm a bit picky with the scents and you cannot get a tropical scent in our country anymore. So I usually buy the Original version these days. This dry shampoo is just hard core and it works amazing even if your hair is really greasy. It can be a bit white sometimes, but I just use hair dryer to get it off.

Repurchase: always

Batiste Fresh dry shampoo
Last year I discovered this new scent and absolutely loved it because it it's refreshing and lighter. Though I think also the powder is lighter so when my hair is quite oily it doesn't help that much.
Repurchase: yes

Vitanove Dry Shampoo
This dry shampoo you can buy at E.Leclerc. I just bought it because I was interested. Though it was very powdery and white which is not great if you're in a hurry or your hair is darker. But if I have really greasy hair and just need to go somewhere quickly, I would use it and use my hair dryer on higher speed to get it off. It was cheap too, so I didn't care how it worked. But for everyday I wouldn't use it.
Repurchase: no


Nivea LE Fabulous Hibiscus Shower Gel
Unfortunately this shower gel scent was limited edition. It was really nice and fruity. However sometimes I think it would smell a bit too alcohol-like even though it doesn't contain alcohol. But I still loved using it because it was so refreshing and awakening.
Repurchase: would if I could

Lush Twilight Shower Gel
One of my favorite Lush scents. Though I get bored of Lush scents quite quickly, so it takes me such a long time to use up a bottle. This is a very specific lavender scent, but it also smells a bit like oatmeal cookies. The shower gel felt gentle on the skin. I just loved it for the calming but sweet scent. Though next time I would prefer a mini version.
Repurchase: yes

Afrodita Cosmetics Extra Sensitive Intimate Wash
A very nice and gentle feminine wash. I have one that is my top favorite, but this one is the second afterwards. And when I use something else, I miss this one. The scent is very light which is great and it seems very gentle on my lady bits.
Repurchase: yes

Rexona Active Protection+ Invisible Anti-Perspirant - Fresh

I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying the Active Protection+ one, it is now my winner. I always choose the ones for black and white clothing. This one lasts even longer and acts even more when you get active. I mostly also love this one for the scent because it's kind of a powdery one and out of all other Rexona deodorants, this one doesn't make me choke on it.

Repurchase: already have

Rexona Invisible Aqua Anti-Perspirant

This one is always nice. It does the job and keep you "stinky-free" for a long time. Also it doesn't leave yellow marks. It's still a bit white though and sometimes I choke on how powerful the scent and mist is.

Repurchase: always



Swiss O'Par Silver Shampoo
Immediately after I bleached (lightened) my hair, I purchased this shampoo. It's meant for blond or grey hair, to even out the tone and eliminated brassy look. It is quite watery, I would say, so it flows quickly down the hair. It helps a bit with toning the hair, however it's not that visible. I use it in between washes when I don't want to use Icecream No-Yellow shampoo (that one is the best for yellow tones).
Repurchase: maybe

L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary Clay Purifying Shampoo
One of the best drugstore shampoo for oily hair. It is very cleansing (contains clay) but doesn't dry out or strip the hair. I also really like the fresh scent. Though nowadays I use only solid shampoos but if I was in a quick need of shampoo, I would still buy it.
Repurchase: yes


The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Gel Wash
A very nice gentle face wash. Doesn't have much of a scent, but is still pleasant. It's not amazing, however it was really gentle and relaxing to use Read full review here.
Repurchase: maybe

Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub
I love the scent of Soap & Glory products. Their original scent is just something special. This scrub felt moisturising and not drying. It wasn't too harsh, but still did it's job.
Repurchase: maybe

Caudalie Vinopure Skin Perfecting Mattifying Fluid
One of the lightest mattifying creams I've tried. I liked the light texture, however I felt that it sometimes took longer to absorb into the skin. I loved it at times when my skin wasn't as oily, but it still needed mattifying effect. Still I think I prefer the Vinosource Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid.
Repurchase: probably not 


Kamill Hand & Nail Cream Q10
A really nice moisturizing hand cream. It can be a bit thick, but it's not overly greasy. Plus the scent is nicely calming.
Repurchase: yes

Nuxe Rêve de miel Hand and Nail Cream
This line from Nuxe is quite popular and this is not my first time trying the hand cream. I'm not a fan of this scent because it's quite potent. The hand cream is moisturizing but doesn't do wonders. It takes some time to absorb in, so I used it before bed time.
Repurchase: no 

The Body Shop Glazed Apple Sugar Scrub
Another limited edition product. I loved this Christmas scent (from 2 or 3 years ago?) but I finally used it up. Actually I used it for my hands, because the purple shampoo really leaves a stain on hands. The scent is just amazing, it's like some apple candy and not too artificial.
Repurchase: I wish I could


Lush Charity Pot Hand & Body Lotion
This is a sample I got in London. It's main ingredient is fair trade cocoa and shea butter and the profit goes to charity. Plus it contains other hydrating oils. The texture is not too thick, however it takes some time to absorb. Though it is very moisturising. All Lush body lotions are very hydrating which I love. Though I'd use them only before slipping on pyjamas and going to bed. But this small pot I only used on some dry patches and it helped.
Repurchase: maybe

Lush Santa Baby Lip Scrub
My favorite festive Lush lip scrub. It smells and tasted like coca cola. It's not too sweet, but still pleasant. Texture is not too gritty as the sugar glides on smoothly without too much crumbling. Plus the aftertaste is nice. The whole pot lasts me a year. I used to use these lip scrubs all the time, but now I sometimes only use a hot wet cotton pad which works wonders too.
Repurchase: yes

Blistex Conditioning Lip Balm
Just a standard lip balm. I switch between this one and Labello Classic lip balm and I like both. They're hydrating enough, but I still need to reapply it multiple times because it rubs off. Let me know if you have any favorite lip balm recommendation though.
Repurchase: yes

Carmex Classic Lip Balm
I heard so much about this lip balm but it actually disappointed me. It contains menthol and is quite strong. If I reapplied it even three times through my work time, my lips would start to feel very warm and tingly and the feeling wouldn't go away right away. So then I used it only when applying my makeup. It is very hydrating which I love, but I just can't have it for every day use.
Repurchase: sadly no 


The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit + Moringa Bath Bubble
I love bubble baths. These small heart bubble bars were fun. Maybe not as much as Lush ones, but still cute and nice smelling. Though here is the additional packaging which you don't get with Lush bubble bars.
Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Vitamin E + Aloe Sheet Mask
These are made of natural fibers and are biodegradable which is awesome. I think both were quite hydrating and made my skin feel very soft. At first they're very cold because of the sheet. But it totally works and is great for here and there if your skin is feeling dry.
Repurchase: maybe


Kiko Softening Hands Mask
I had this mask for such a long time and finally I tried it. I don't know what happened in Amsterdam; if it was the wind or their water but my hands got so dry and flakey and I would apply hand cream and balm on it multiple times per day. So then at home I tried this hands mask. It's actually like hand gloves filled with hand cream. You wear them for 10-15 minutes and meanwhile massage the cream into the hands. It feels a bit strange and cold. But when you take them off, the cream absorbs in and you're left with very smooth soft hands. There was still so much product left in the gloves, so I used it the next day again. I cannot say that it worked like a miracle, however after two uses I did see a difference and my hands aren't as flakey now.
Repurchase: maybe

Živjo punce.

Pomlad se bliža in s tem tudi novosti pri lepotnih znamkah. Tokrat sem preizkusila nekaj Catrice ličil. Imajo pa na voljo še ogromno drugih novih zanimivih ličil in izdelkov...

Hi girls.

It already feels like spring is coming. And it's also time for some new spring makeup, starting with new Catrice launch. I tested just a few product, but make sure you check out the rest of their new interesting line...

Catrice Poreless Perfection Foundation 010 Cool Nude 

Ta puder ima klasično penasto, gosto teksturo. Pa vendar ne vsebuje silikonov, ki bi morda komu mašili pore. Daje videz gladke kože ter malce zapolni pore. Hkrati pa ni tako težek na koži. Odtenek 010 izgleda zelo temno, čeprav se na koži hitro zabriše in ni tako temen. Še vedno je odtenek zame pretemen, imajo pa na voljo tudi svetlejšega: 005 Warm Ivory. Prekrivnost je srednja in je vredu za vsak dan. Obstojnost pa ni najboljša saj puder čez dan zbledi in počasi izgine.

This is a classic mousse type of foundation. It has a thick texture, but is silicon free which is great if your skin gets clogged if you use silicon type of products. Even though it's thick, it quickly blends and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It makes the skin look more smooth and fills the pores a bit. It is not long lasting though, so I wouldn't use it on hot and long days. Coverage is ok, but could be better if you have more pigmentation or imperfections. The shade 010 looks very dark, however somehow it blends in and looks lighter on the skin. Though it's still too dark for me. There is also a lighter shade available: 005 Warm Ivory.

Catrice Instant Awake Concealer 005 Neutral Light 

Korektor je zelo lahek in srednje prekriven. Verjetno najbolj temnih podočnjakov ne bo prekril. Zame pa je dovolj prekriven in se mi ne useda v gubice potem, ko ga fiksiram s pudrom v kamnu. Odtenek je dovolj svetel in ima rumenkast podton, kar mi je všeč. Obstaja še svetlejši odtenek: 002 Neutral Fair. Izbor odtenkov se mi zdi precej dober in se sprašujem zakaj tudi tekočih pudrov nimajo v tako svetlih odtenkov. Embalaža pa ima na vrhu gobico, ki morda ni najbolj higienska, vendar se meni zdi čist vredu, saj uporabljam korektor samo pod očmi. 

Concealer has a fresh, light weight texture and medium coverage. It probably won't cover up very dark circles, but for me it is enough. It doesn't settle into the fine lines if I set it with powder. Shade 005 is a light shade with yellow undertone which works perfect for me. There's also a lighter shade available: 002 Neutral Fair. I think the range of shades is great and I wonder why they don't make such light shades for their foundations (most of them are too dark for me). It's one of those concealers which have a sponge at the top which might not be hygienic, however I only use it under the eyes. But it is somehow handy to apply it directly onto the face. Plus it has a twist up system.

Catrice Hemp & Mint Glow Lip Balm 010 High On Life

Balzam za ustnice vsebuje konopljo ter mentol. Olje konoplje naj bi imelo hranilen učinek, mentol pa ustnice hladi in jim daje malce večji videz (ni močen učinek ter ne peče). Balzam pusti roza odtenek, glede na pH ustnic. Na meni je odtenek precej živo roza. Sicer je balzam lahek in nemasten, vendar se mi zdi, da bi lahko bil bolj hranljiv. Zato ga nimam za vsakdanjo uporabo ali za v torbico. 

This lip balm is based on hemp and menthol. Hemp oil is supposed to be nourishing, while menthol gives you a cooling effect and a plumper look (it is gentle - it doesn't sting or burn). Plus it is one of those color changing balms, so the pink shade varies based on the pH of your lips. My shade is pretty bright pink which I don't mind at all, but I wouldn't use it for every day. As it goes for hydrating, I don't think it is very moisturising. It is light weight, non-greasy but ok for here and there.
