Hi girls.

I know I haven't written anything in a while. Well, I've been testing some skincare and such which take so much time to test properly. Meanwhile, here is what I used up...

The Body Shop Mango Shower Gel

I absolutely loved this shower gel. The scent was so refreshing and yummy. I'm not sure it smelled like mangoes, maybe a bit fresher and with a zesty undertone. It foamed up nicely and was so nice to shower with.

Repurchase: yes

CD Pomegranate Shower Gel

Another refreshing shower gel. This one didn't wow me as much as it had a slight scent of alcohol, however it was still nice to freshen up.

Repurchase: no

Planet Spa Caribbean Escape Luxurious Bath Elixir

This was some kind of bubble bath. It made some bubbles, but not that much. However it made my skin a bit more silky. The scent wasn't anything special, but it was a relaxing one.

Repurchase: maybe

Mirati Face Wash

One of my favorite skincare products since 2016. This face wash is gentle but refreshing with a lemon scent. It cleans the skin very well while not drying it up at all. Plus it's mostly natural. Review here.
Repurchase: probably

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

This is one of the best micellar waters I've tried. I love the La Roche Posay Ultra one, however this one is as nice but it's quite cheaper. It really does remove even the blackest mascara without irritating the eyes.

Repurchase: yes

L'Oreal Pure Clay Cleansing Gel

I love cleansing gels and this one was nice as well. Although because it has clay in it, I didn't use it every day, because it was really deeply cleansing. It removed the remains of the makeup very well and it didn't dry out my skin (though my skin type is oily).

Repurchase: maybe

Soraya Care Control Mattifying Cream

I love trying new face cream with matt effect because my skin gets quite oily. This one had a nice fresh scent. I did think it helped combating the oils, however I have other creams that work better.

Repurchase: no

Rexona Active Protection+ Invisible Anti-perspirant

I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying this 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 Stress Control deodorant

I think this one was one of my favorite deodorants so far. I love Rexona for hot and busy days since it protects me very well, however this one is a bit more special. Well, it just has that fresh, citrus smell to it which I love ! Sadly it is not made for black clothes.

Repurchase: yes

Garnier Mineral Protection Anti-perspirant

This is a decent deodorant. It protects me quite well, but I don't love the scent and I don't think it's as good as Rexona. I might switch to it again when I feel like Rexona doesn't work for me anymore.

Repurchase: maybe

Tigi Bed Head Oh Bee Hive! Dry Shampoo

The best dry shampoo I've ever tried. I do love Batiste, however this one by Tigi is just amazing. First of all, I loved the sweet scent which made my hair smell so nice for a whole day. The texture is transparent and sinks in very well without leaving annoying residue. It eliminates oil and gives you a fresh feeling. Although it might not be for the days where your hair is absolutely oily; that's where Batiste comes to help. I just don't like that it's so expensive for a dry shampoo.

Repurchase: yes

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.

Repurchase: yes

Lush I love Juicy Shampoo

One of my favorite shampoos for oily hair. It has an amazing tropical scent due to all the juices that it contains. It cleanses the hair very well without stripping it or leaving dry. Though I mostly use Lush solid shampoos because they're more environmentally friendly. 

Repurchase: yes

Schwarzkopf Blond Me Color Correction Spray Conditioner

An interesting product for blondes. This spray is rich purple and is supposed to help with correcting the yellow undertones of the hair. Also it has some sparkles in it. I'm not sure that it works great as a neutralizer, however I think it's better to use this one, than any other yellow oily conditioners. If you're looking for a great product to get you rid of the yellow tones, I recommend you Ice cream No-yellow shampoo (find it here) because that one is really good.

Repurchase: maybe

Afrodita Cosmetics Calendula Hand Cream

Afrodita has some nice products and usually doesn't disappoint me. Well, this hand cream was nice as well. It was nicely rich and texture sinks into the skin quite quick. The scent is a bit natural but pleasant. It worked well and I would buy it again.

Repurchase: yes

Caudalie The des Vignes Hand Cream

I like the original Caudalie hand cream and this one had the same texture but different scent. It was a bit more floral. You can read more about the whole line here.

Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Hand Cream

This is last years (2017) Christmas scent which I loved so much. I saved this cream a little bit because I just loved the scent. The texture was thinner, though it absorbed quickly. It wasn't the most moisturizing hand cream, however the scent made happy each time I used it.

Repurchase: yes

Essence Lip Ritual Repairing Lip Balm

I thought this lip balm would be nothing special, however it surprised me. By the look, it doesn't seem oily or buttery. The texture is light, but nicely hydrating. Cannot say that it repaired my lips, however it was moisturising enough. Plus the scent was interesting; fresh. 

Repurchase: maybe

Jasmin Girl Intimate Wipes

These are ok, but nothing special. I do still buy them from time to time because they're gentle and cheap. Plus the packaging is nice because you can actually close it with a plastic lid. Though I prefer Duchesse ones, which are a bit wetter.

Repurchase: maybe

Velnea Make-up Remover Wipes

I bought these because I went to the pool and needed to remove my makeup. I always just pick some random makeup wipes. Well, I didn't like these. Nowadays I think there are just a few makeup wipes that would not get my skin irritated. These ones made my eyes sting and my skin was quite red afterwards. I used them up while doing some swatches and such.

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 a bit thinner, but they totally work and I love them. They don't separate or anything, so it's easy to use them.
Repurchase: yes (always)

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads (Sand-Dorn Extract)
I did really enjoy these cotton pads as they were a bit thicker, so they were easier to use. Though I still buy the cheapest ones from Duchesse.
Repurchase: maybe

Živjo punce.

Pri Catrice so v aprilu lansirali novo omejeno kolekcijo Kaviar Gauche. V njej so vedno luštni izdelki, res lepi za pogledat in včasih jih je tudi škoda porabit. Pa poglejmo kaj sem testirala iz nove kolekcije, ki je že na poličkah drogerij...

Hi girls.
I'm back with new launches. This time in April, Catrice has released LE collection Kaviar Gauche. I think they release the same named collection each year but with different products. They're usually very pretty and sometimes I even want to just look at them and not use them. So let's see what I tested from this collection...

Ta set mini šmink je čist lušten. Sama težko porabim normalno šminko, zato se mi takšne mini zadeve vedno dopadejo. V priročni škatlici najdeš 4 odtenke šmink: rjavo-nude, oranžkasto nude, oranžno ter rdečo. Njihova embalaža sicer ni najbolj vrhunska, ampak za v torbico bodo kar vredu. Najbolj pa mi je všeč železna posodica, saj ima ogledalo in lahko odstraniš plastično držalo, ter v škatlico daš kar želiš. Tudi kakšne druge makeup izdelke, gumice ipd. Je lahka in priročna za v torbico. Same šminke pa so zelo pigmentirane in zelo kremaste (razen oranžen odtenek je precej matt). Enostavno se nanašajo in z enim potegom je odtenek na ustnicah popoln. Sicer obstojnost ni najboljša, ker gre za precej kremne, vlažilne šminke. Raznoliki odtenki so mi tudi všeč.



This lipstick set is totally cute and handy. I usually have a hard time using up a normal lipstick, so I really appreciate these small versions. Plus they're easier to apply since the bullet is a bit more precise. The small tin contains four lipstick: beige-nude, brownish-nude, orange and red shade (cool toned). I really like the tin because it has a mirror and you can take out the plastic insert, so you can store whatever you want in it (mostly makeup or some bobby pins) and put it in your purse. Lipsticks are very creamy and pigmentation is amazing, so you only need one swipe. Only orange shade is quite matt. They're easy to apply and look very nice on the lips. Unfortunately because of the creamy texture, they're not long lasting. But still they're nice to have in your bag. 

Čeprav imam sama že dovolj velike ustnice in jih ne bi rada povečala, mi je ta volumenski glos padel v oko, ker je odtenek nežno roza (tako "mlečen"). Sicer je embalaža malce slabša, ker je tudi aplikator nerodno majhen in trd ter z njim na ustnice ne moreš nanesti veliko izdelka. Sicer pa mi je glos všeč. Ima vonj po mentolu in tudi malce "peče" na ustnicah, saj naj bi jih ta mentol tako povečal. Ta občutek kar hitro izgine, kar mi je okej.

And another interesting lip product is this lip booster. Not that my lips are not big enough, because I wouldn't make them bigger anyway. I just really liked the creamy pink shade. Packaging is a bit difficult because it's so slim and applicator is stiff and tiny, so you have to take some time to apply product onto your lips. Though I like the shade and texture of gloss because it's not sticky and makes my lips look nice. The menthol though stings a bit at first: it's supposed to enlarge your lips, which I didn't notice much. However the feeling disappears quickly, so it's fine.

Živjo.

Kakšen mesec nazaj sem na Instagramu objavila fotografijo z izdelki, katere trenutno uporabljam za nego obraza. Ta tema še vedno ni stara, ker sem zvesta tem izdelkom (vsaj dokler jih ne porabim), vendar bom počasi vključila še kaj drugega. Odločila sem se, da z vami delim malce daljši zapis, zakaj so mi ti izdelki všeč. Naj omenim, da poleg teh izdelkov še uporabljam micelarno vodo, katero pa precej redno menjujem. Sedaj uporabljam Garnier Micellar Water, pred tem pa sem imela tudi La Roche Posay Ultra Micellar Water.

A month ago I uploaded a photo of my current skincare routine on my Instagram profile. I've been using only these products for a few months now, so I wanted to share with you, why I love them. When I use up some of them, I might try something new, since I'm a blogger and test products all the time. Besides the products you see on the picture, I also use micellar water to remove my makeup at first. Currently I use Garnier Micellar Water, but before that I used La Roche Posay Ultra Micellar Water.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel

Effaclar linija je posebej namenjena mastni in tudi težavni koži. Izdelki so tudi prilagojeni občutljivemu tipu kože. Ta gel sem uporabljala že pred leti, vendar se mi je takrat zdelo, da je preveč agresiven. Ta nova embalaža čistilnega gela pa mi ne povzroča nobenih težav. Prav všeč mi je. Prozoren gel se nežno speni in ima tudi nežen vonj. Po uporabi je koža dobro očiščena ter odstrani tudi ostanke ličil. Kože mi ne zateguje, vendar bi rekla, da vseeno ni primeren za suh tip kože, saj ni vlažilen (raje uporabite čistilno mleko). Skratka meni je ta gel super, ker se mi zdi enostaven, a res zelo dobro opravi svoje delo.

Effaclar line is specially made for troubled and oily skin. The products are also suitable for sensitive skin. I've used this foaming gel in the past but thought it was too drying. However, there seems to be a new formula or my skin changed. A clear gel foams up and has a gentle scent. It's gentle on the skin, however it even helps remove remaining makeup. It doesn't dry out my skin or give me a tightening feeling. Although if you have a drier skin, I would recommend something more hydrating (such as a cleansing milk). But I really do like this product because it's simple and works perfectly.

Lush Tea Tree Water

Lushevim tonikom sem zvesta že več let. Preprosto ustrezajo moji koži ter imajo preproste, minimalne sestavine. Ob uporabi drugih tonikov mi ni tako prijetno kot ob Lushevih. Tea Tree tonik s čajevcem uporabljam, ko opazim mozoljčke na koži. Kar hitro mi pomaga in je hkrati tudi nežen.

I've been using Lush toners for years now. They suit my skin and are quite simple when it comes to the ingredients. Tea Tree toner of course contains tea tree which is great for any imperfections. That's why I use it when my skin is troubled and I feel like it does really help me. Plus it adds that freshness.

Lush Eau Roma Water

Ta tonik pa je namenjen suhi ter občutljivi koži. Sama ga rada uporabljam tudi pred nanosom dnevne kreme. Se mi zdi, da mi lepo pomiri kožo ter daje občutek svežine.

And this toner is suitable more for dry and sensitive skin. I apply it before daily cream or when my skin is a bit stressed since it calms it down and gives you a fresh feeling.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat

O tej matirni kremi sem se razpisala tukaj na blogu. Kot vidite trenutno uporabljam kar nekaj Effaclar izdelkov. Verjetno sem že milijon krat omenila, da mi lekarniška kozmetika res ustreza, še najbolj pa ti LRP izdelki saj ob njihovi uporabi res opazim razlike na koži. Effaclar Mat krema mi je všeč, ker zgladi kožo ter jo matira brez zategovanja. Sicer vsebuje silikone (Dimethicone), kar morda komu maši pore, vendar jaz z njimi v tej kremi nimam težav.

There's a post about this cream already on my blog here. As you can see I use a lot of Effaclar products. That's because my skin seems to really like pharmacy cosmetics. And with LRP products I really notice a difference. I really like Effaclar Matt because it smooths the skin and gives you a matt look without tightening feeling. It does contain silicons (Dimethicone), which can block your pores, however I don't have trouble with it.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+]

To kremico pa uporabljam, ko se mi naredijo izbruhi ali pa vidim neke spremembe na koži; včasih imam tudi kakšne pikice na koži in ni gladka. Se mi zdi, da mi ta krema kar hitro pomaga saj vsebuje salicilno kislino. Tekstura je lahkotna in se hitro vpije. Hkrati pa uravnava izločanje sebuma.

Another cream which comes in handy when my skin gets breakouts. This one helps diminish imperfections and make them disappear quicker. Plus it helps with any weird bumps on the skin which aren't pimples but are still somewhere under the skin. The main ingredient that helps is Salicylic  Acid. Texture is very light and absorbs quickly. Plus it helps regulate the oils.

L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Ultra Thirst-Quenching Cream

In še nazadnje krema, katera najbolj vlaži mojo kožo. Čeprav gre za gosto kremo, se res lepo vpije in ni mastna. Res je vlažilna in moja koža zgleda lepo sijoča. Verjetno jo bom precej pogrešala, saj jo bo kmalu zmanjkalo. Več tukaj.

And lastly, this is my night time cream which I love for really hydrating my skin. At first it seems thick, however it absorbs nicely and isn't greasy. I feel like it's nicely rich and it really does hydrate my skin. My skin looks plump and healthy afterwards. I will probably really miss it after using it up soon. Read a whole post here.

Hi girls.

Time for some favorites. I know I forget to do them but I really wanted to do my March ones because there are some interesting products. It seems like everything is evolving around my hair. I could almost call this post: my hair favorites. But then there are two other items I've been loving. So let's see what impressed me in march...

Živjo punce.
Spet je čas za mesečne favorite. Na njih pogosto pozabljam ampak tokrat sem res želela omeniti nekaj izdelkov, ki so me navdušili. Večina se vrti okoli nege za lase, saj sem se z lasmi precej ukvarjala. Pa poglejmo kateri so bili moji najljubši izdelki meseca marca...

L'Oreal Colorista Ombre Bleach

One day I decided to color my hair with a blue Colorista dye. But then I've noticed that since summer my hair is not as light anymore. So I decided to bleach and ombre my hair with this product. In Slovenia you can get it in DM drugstore. It's obviously easy and cheap way to achieve ombre effect at home. I have never colored my hair at home before so for the first time doing it, I think I did quite well. The most important part of this ombre kit, is the brush with which you achieve that look. It is a thinner brush to vertically apply product onto the hair. The kit also comes with all the essentials for bleaching, a small shampoo and also the gloves. Be careful to read the instructions because at first I moved the brush horizontally, which resulted in some stripes in my hair; although it's not that visible. With this kit it is very easy to apply the color and do it by yourself. I do have to again mention that there is no toner in the kit, so my hair turned a bit yellow, but I'm fixing it with a purple shampoo. I am most likely bleaching my hair again soon because I want my ends to be really white and soon I'll also apply purple color to it.

En dan sem bila v DM drogeriji in sem se odločila, da bi ponovno pobarvala lase z Colorista barvo; tokrat modro. Ampak sem kmalu ugotovila, da po poletju, ko sem se postrigla, moji lasje niso več tako svetli. Zato sem se odločila, da malo posvetlim lase in ustvarim ombre s tem L'Oreal setom. Gre za zelo poceni in enostaven način, da si sama doma ustvariš ombre učinek na laseh. Najbolj pomemben del v tem setu je krtačka s katero lažje dosežeš ombre efekt. Je tanjša in nanjo naneseš izdelek ter z njo navpično češeš po laseh. Svetujem da si pred uporabo dobro preberete navodila, ker sem sama pomotoma česala tudi v vodoravno smer, zato imam tu in tam kakšno črto, ki pa ni tako opazna. Set je namenjen samo za beljenje las in zraven ni kakšnega tonerja. Tako so moji lasje postali malce rumeni, česar sem se rešila z vijoličnim šamponom. Verjetno pa bom lase spet pobelila, ker hočem, da so moje konice precej svetlejše. Enkrat pa sledi še nanos vijolične barve. 

Inebrya Ice Cream No-yellow Shampoo

This one was actually recommended by my co-workers. As mentioned, I did an ombre with L'Oreal Colorista Ombre kit. It turned out great but my hair was quite yellow; the same color it goes when my hair is on the sun for a long time. Of course I prefer an ashy color so I needed a purple shampoo. I firstly picked up one from Müller (Swiss-o-par silver shampoo) which wasn't great but then I decided to splurge on this one. You can get it in Tuš Drogerija or DM. It's very intensely pigmented and it totally works. I usually shower and wash my hair firstly with my normal shampoo. When I step out I put on this shampoo on the whole hair and put a shower cap on. I leave it on like that for at least 15 minutes. I wash it off like normal. It doesn't leave any color on the bath tub or sink, however my hands are usually purple afterwards; so a scrubbing is needed. The effect is amazing, especially on the lightest ends where they get a bit grey. It makes a huge difference and I recommend it hundred percent.

Ta šampon za lase so mi priporočila sodelavke. Kot sem že omenila, sem si naredila ombre, vendar so moji lasje postali malce bolj rumen. Sama pa imam raje bolj pepelnato barvo, zato sem potrebovala vijoličen šampon. Najprej sem kupila enega v Müllerju (Swiss-o-par silver šampon), ampak ni bil tako dober. Ice Cream šampon za lase pa je bil nakup leta. Dobi se v Tuš drogeriji in v DMu. Je zelo pigmentiran in je temno vijoličen, ampak res deluje. Sama se običajno stuširam in potem izven tuša nanesem šampon po celih laseh ter na vrh dam kapo za tuširanje. Tako pustim, da je šampon na laseh vsaj 15 minut. Normalno si sperem lase. Šampon ne obarva bane ali umivalnika, vendar pa so moje dlani po nanosu precej vijolične in jih morem drgnit. Učinek šampona je noro dober, ker res takoj nevtralizira rumene tone in tam kjer so lasje zelo svetli, dobijo malce sivega tona. Res je učinkovit in ga 100% priporočam.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - Champagne Pop 

Wasn't a big fan of Opal pressed highlighter, but oh my this one is different. This shade is not as golden, but more champagne (of course) and it blends so nicely with my pale skin. It still is a bit glittery but not too much. It's more like a nice shimmer. Plus it's very pigmented, which I love.

Becca osvetljevalci so zelo opevani. Meni sicer Opal odtenek v kamnu ni tako všeč, vendar je Champagne Pop drugačen. Ta odtenek je tista prava barva "šampanjca", ki se zelo lepo zlije z mojo ultra svetlo poltjo. Še vedno ima nekaj bleščic, ampak to ni tako opazno. Zgleda bolj kot lep sijaj na licih. Hkrati pa je zelo pigmentiran in res izgleda čudovito na koži. 

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream

I bought this cream quite a long time ago but somehow forgot to mention it. It's all purpose hydrating cream. Texture looks very thick and oily. I used it firstly on very dry patches on my hands. It was quite nice before bed but it's not the best. Then I used it on my lips which I like the most. The scent is not that pleasant, however I like the effect. It makes your lips look quite oily and juicy. It looks like a clear gloss but better which I love. It won't heal the cracked lips but it does hydrate and plump up the lips. If you're looking for and "oily", watery kinds look, this is the best.

Tole "kremo" sem kupila že kar nekaj časa nazaj ampak sem jo pozabila vključiti na blog. Seveda sem jo kupila spet zato, ker sem slišala same pohvale. Gre za večnamensko vlažilno kremo, tako da jo lahko nanesete kamorkoli, kjer imate suho kožo. Tekstura je res gosta in oljnata. Najprej sem jo uporabljala na suhih predelih na dlaneh. Kožo je navlažila, vendar učinek ni bil najboljši. Potem sem jo začela uporabljati na ustnicah, kjer mi je bila najbolj všeč. Sicer vonj ni najbolj prijeten, ampak mi je všeč učinek. Na ustnicah izgleda kot nekakšno olje ter jih naredi lepo sočne. Sicer ne reši najbolj razpokanih ustnic, vendar lepo vlaži ter daje učinek polnejših ustnic. Če iščete takšen učinek videza "oljnih" ali vodenih ustnic, jo res priporočam.

L'Oreal Paris Professional Mythic Oil

Another hair favorite. I'm not usually into hair care because all I care about is a nice de-greasing shampoo and a dry shampoo here and there. Well I do also put some oil on my wet hair to comb through nicely and keep them away from looking too dry. I didn't care much for this oil but then I started using it and I love the way it smells. It really makes my hair smell nicely even after straightening it. Also I like that it's a bit lighter so it absorbs very quickly without weighing down the hair.

Še en favorit za lase. Sicer je to vse novo zame, saj običajno uporabljam smo šampon za mastne lase in suh šampon tu in tam. Sicer pa vedno nanesem olje na mokre lase, da se lažje razčešejo in so konice vsaj malo negovane. Tole olje je bilo v moji zalogi že nekaj časa. Začela sem ga uporabljat, ker sem porabila starega. In takoj sem odkrila, da mi je res všeč. Tekstura je res lahkotna in se hitro vpije lase ter jih ne zmasti. Hkrati pa ima noro lep vonj, katerega ne znam opisat. Moji lasje dišijo lepo tudi po tem, ko si jih zravnam. To me je najbolj pritegnilo pri tem olju. 

Hi girls.

Do you also feel accomplished using up a makeup product? Well I do. And it's funny because I used up so many makeup products at the same time and got a bit sad because well I would purchase them again but I've got too many other makeup items. Well let's see what I loved and what I didn't like.

Živjo punce. 
Spet mi je uspelo porabiti kar nekaj ličil. Počutim se kar ponosno nase, ko mi nečesa zmanjka..se tudi ve tako počutite ?...Kar nekaj izdelkov sem naenkrat porabila in čeprav sem vesela, da imam eno ličilo manj v zbirki, sem hkrati žalostna ko porabim nekaj kar mi je bilo najljubše. No, pa poglejmo kaj sem porabila...

Revlon Colorstay Combination/Oily Foundation - 150 Buff

This is my favorite foundation of all time. Though they've changed the packaging and "watered it down" just a bit, so it gets out easier. It is just such a nice medium to full coverage foundation and it stays put throughout the day on oily skin. The shade: 150 Buff is good for me since it has a yellow undertone and is great for pale skin. 

Repurchase: always

To je moja najljubša podlaga že vsaj sedem let. Vmes so spremenili embalažo (sedaj ima pumpico) ter ni več tako gosta. Še vedno ima kar dobro prekrivnost in se nabolje obnese na moji mastni koži. Odtenek 150 Buff je super zame saj ima rumen podton in je hkrati dovolj svetel za mojo porcelanasto polt. Tu in tam preizkusim še kakšno drugo tudi dražjo podlago, ampak se vedno vračam k tej.
Ponoven nakup: vedno

L'Occitne Pivoine Sublime CC Cream - Light

This was my favorite CC cream. The shade was great and it blended so well into my skin. For my oily skin, it wasn't too hydrating because I could wear it even to work sometimes. I just loved how it applied and gave me some coverage without looking cakey. It was very light weight. Unfortunately they discontinued it and I can't find anything similar. I might try Erborian CC cream though.

Tole pa je bila moja najljubša CC krema. Odtenek je bil super saj se je zelo lepo zlil z mojo kožo. Za mojo mastno polt ni bila preveč vlažilna in se nisem takoj svetila. Pozimi, ko je bila moja koža malce bolj suha, sem jo nosila namesto tekočega pudra. Preko sem nanesla samo puder v kamnu, za fiksiranje. Tekstura je bila tudi lepo lahkotna. Na žalost se je ne da več kupiti in tudi ne najdem česa tako podobnega. Mogoče bi preizkusila edino Erborian CC kremo.

Max Factor Creme Puff - 05 Translucent

This is the worst face powder I ever used. I cannot believe it's their cult product. First of all, it has a strong floral scent. And then, the shade is actually not translucent but very orangey beige. On my skin it of course showed up quite a lot so I hated that. I tried using it in the summer when my skin was tanned or as a bronzer. The powder is finelly mild which is nice, but I just hated the shade.
Repurchase: no

Najslabši puder v kamnu za obraz kar sem ga kdajkoli preizkusila. Baje je Max Factorjev kultni izdelek, kar stežka verjamem. Najprej naj omenim da ima precej značilen cvetličen vonj. Najhujše pa je, da je odtenek, ki naj bi bil brez odtenka oziroma transparenten; zelo obarvan. Ima tak oranžkast bež ton. Na moji svetli koži se precej vidi kar sploh ni okej. Uporabljala sem ga predvsem poleti, ko pridobim malo barve ali pa kot bronzer. Sicer je sama tekstura super, saj ne izgleda pudrasto na obrazu ampak odtenek je popolnoma zgrešen.
Ponoven nakup: ne

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer - 01 Ivory

Also one of my favorite concealers ever, which I need to repurchase soon. Even though my skin is usually oily, my under eye area is quite dry and this one was perfect for that. It has a watery texture, however it dries down and it has a nice coverage. Also sometimes when I needed to touch up my makeup after a long time, I would just take a wet sponge and dab it onto the areas that needed some coverage. Because of the watery texture it would just blend in well. The packaging is also pretty.
Repurchase: yes

Eden izmed mojih najljubših korektorjev, ki sem jih kdaj preizkusila. Čeprav je moja koža običajno bolj mastna, je predel okoli mojih oči bolj suh in ta korektor je svojo nalogo na podočnjakih super opravil. Ima vodeno teksturo, vendar se zelo lepo posuši ter dovolj prekrije. Super mi je bil tudi, ko sem si čez dan mogla popraviti makeup. Tako sem vzela mokro gobico in korektor nanesla na predele, ki so potrebovali nekaj prekrivnosti. Ker je tekstura zelo lahkotna, se je korektor zelo lepo zlil s kožo in se ni opazilo, da sem na obraz nanesla še več produkta. Všeč mi je tudi embalaža.
Ponoven nakup: nujno, ja

Max Factor 2000 Calorie Curl Addict Mascara

After trying the original - waterproof version of 2000 Calorie, I was disappointed. Then I got sent this one and was like why the hell not try it. Well, I loved it. The wand was curled which wasn't my favorite but the bristles were very dense and gave my lashes such a nice volume. It didn't clump up my lashes and the effect was just really nice.
Repurchase: maybe

Original, vodoodporna maskara 2000 Calorie me je sicer razočarala, čeprav je še en zelo opevan izdelek. Nato pa sem prejela to različico, ki obljublja večjo privihanost trepalnic. In izkazalo se je, da je res odlična. Krtačka je sicer zvita, kar mi ni najljubše, vendar so ščetine bile lepo goste in so mojim trepalnicam dodale res veliko volumna. Trepalnic mi maskara ni zlepila, temveč so izgledale res goste in polne. Res lep učinek.

L'Oreal Miss Hippie Mascara

Another nice mascara. It was amazingly volumizing, however a bit clumpy at times but it gave me such a good messy, festival look. It's actually very black and looks so good on the lashes.
Repurchase: maybe

Še ena odlična maskara. Prav tako zelo volumenska. Tale je zaradi ščetin malce zlepila trepalnice, vendar na dober način. Tako sem dosegla mičkeno neurejen festivalski videz. Bila je tudi zelo črna in je naredila kar wau učinek na trepalnicah.
Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Chanel Le Volume Revolution Mascara

I got this small mascara in a magazine. I featured it on my blog here. I actually really liked it. The wand was plastic and weird but it gave my lashes lots and lots of volume. I was impressed.
Purchase: maybe

Tole mini maskaro sem prejela v eni reviji. Na blogu sem jo že omenila tukaj. Čeprav sem bila skeptična, ker je res draga, me je res lepo presenetila. Plastična krtačka je bila malce nenavadne oblike, vendar je mojim trepalnicam dodala res veliko volumna.
Nakup: mogoče

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

I expected too much from this mascara. Maybe I got a faulty one but it was a bit dry. The wand was big and looked actually nice, but the mascara did nothing for my lashes. It added some length but there was no volume.
Repurchase: no

In sledijo maskare, ki so me razočarale. Tale je tudi kar hvaljena. Mogoče sem dobila neko čudno, vendar je bila že sama tekstura bolj suha. Krtačka je bila velika in je izgledala kar okej, vendar maskara ni na mojih trepalnicah nič naredila. Dodala je mičkeno dolžine, ampak prav nič volumna.
Ponoven nakup: ne

Clarins Be Long Mascara

Another disappointing mascara. If you're looking for only lengthening aspect, it could be fine, but for me there was not enough volume. Plus the wand was plastic and very spiky, so it kind of hurt applying on the mascara.
Repurchase: no

Še ena maskara, ki me je razočarala. Sicer, če iščete samo naraven videz in, da vam maskara malo podaljša trepalnice, bi morda bila okej. Mojim trepalnicam pa ni dodala prav nič volumna; kar običajno želim. Hkrati je bila krtačka plastična ter precej špičasta, kar me je ob nanašanju malce bolelo.
Ponoven nakup: ne

Look by Bipa Eye Duo eyeliner

This eyeliner can be found in Bipa drugstores in Austria. I picked this "pen" looking eyeliner and totally loved it. It was nicely black and it was easy to apply a cat eye. I didn't care for the crayon black eyeliner on the other side because I don't use those.

To črtalo lahko najdete v avstrijski drogeriji Bipa. Kupila sem ga, saj mi je všeč črtalo, ki ima obliko "flumastra" in tršo konico, ki pa je vseeno malce gibljiva. Odtenek je bil zelo črn in zelo enostaven je bil za nanos podaljšane črte na očeh. Na drugi strani je bilo tudi klasično črtalo v obliki barvice, katerega pa sicer nisem uporabljala.
Ponoven nakup: mogoče.

Hi girls.

I know you haven't heard from me in a while, but I've just been busy and every time I wanted to do something for my blog, something more important came first. Again three months have passed and I accumulated a lot of beauty trash again which I'll talk about today. Also have to mention that I'm planning on doing makeup empties but I just need a good light to take the pictures...

L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Water Gel Cleanser

I absolutely loved this face cleanser. The texture was nice and it didn't foam up too much. It was just very gentle and didn't dry out my skin. Also I totally appreciated the pump, since it's so handy. I really enjoyed it but I wouldn't spend 20€ on a face cleanser to be honest. You can read more about this line here on my blog.

Repurchase: probably not (very expensive)

Mirati Face Wash

One of my favorite skincare products from 2016. This face wash is gentle but refreshing with a lemon scent. It cleans the skin very well while not drying it up at all. Plus it's mostly natural. Review here. Repurchase: probably

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash

Oh my, I've used up another face wash ? It looks like I wash my face 10 times per day, but no, only two (morning and night). This one also came with a pump which is very lovely. It was quite gentle, even though it foamed up quite a lot. It also removed the remains of my makeup very well. Right now I'm also using the Garnier Micellar Water which is amazing.

Repurchase: maybe

Avon True Nutra Effects Micellar Cleansing Water

I've used this one up because it was just in my stash. It's not my favorite micellar water because it is not the best at removing mascara and sometimes it also stings my eyes. I think for the price is ok, but I'd rather choose Garnier one.

Repurchase: no

Rituals Happy Buddha Foaming Shower Gel

This is my second "can" of this shower gel. With mandarin & yuzu it felt very refreshing. And it is not a commercial citrus scent, but has relaxing feel to it. The foam was thick and very nourishing. You don't see products like this often. You can read a review here.

Repurchase: yes

The Body Shop Frosted Berries Shower gel

I change up my shower gels quite often, but here and there I'm obsessed with a scent. This one is definitely one of my ultimate favorites. It's only available during Christmas time, so I repurchase a bottle each year. This one was last years and now I have a new version which is called Berry Bon Bon and is literally the same.

Repurchase: hell yes

Afrodita Cosmetics Lavender & Lemon Antibacterial Hand Wash

I got a few products with this lavender scent from Afrodita. I love the brand. However this hand wash was just average. I thought the smell would be a bit more distinct, however you could barely smell it. It was still a nice hand wash but nothing to remember.

Repurchase: maybe

The Body Shop Glazed Apple Body Butter

Another festive product. I thought it was still worth mentioning it because I hope they will bring this scent back. And also because TBS body butters are iconic. They're really moisturizing and nice. On me, the butter looks and feels oily, so I use it only before bed. But still I love how nice it is.

Repurchase: yes

Afrodita Cosmetics Body Butter (jojoba oil & shea butter)

I don't think this product is available anymore. Still I'll mention it because 100% SPA products by Afrodita Cosmetics are really lovely. This body butter was really thick, however it felt very luxurious on the skin and it melted in like an oil. So again I would use this only before putting on the pyjamas.

Afrodita Cosmetics Delicate Balance Intimate Cream Wash

Another lovely product from Afrodita. I've tried also the version for shaving which is lovely as well. The intimate wash is not overly foamy and it feels gentle. I don't really notice difference between intimate soaps, other that some foam up too much. Also I never had any reaction for any of them. This one is also made in Slovenia, which is great.

Repurchase: yes

Rexona Active Protection+ Invisible Anti-perspirant

I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying this 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 Maximum Protection Classic Anti-perspirant

I thought this one was the same as Active Protection one but I was wrong. You don't get stinky quickly and it works amazing at that, but I have a problem with the scent. It again makes me choke like hell and I just despise that.

Repurchase: no

Garnier Mineral Protection Anti-perspirant

This is a decent deodorant. It protects me quite well, but I don't love the scent and I don't think it's as good as Rexona. I might switch to it again when I feel like Rexona doesn't work for me anymore.

Repurchase: maybe

Caudalie Instant Detox Mask

I got a bunch of samples of Caudalie face masks and this one I tried one time when my skin was a bit bad. The clay texture was pink which was fun. It was just like an ordinary clay mask which dries quite well on the skin. It cleaned my pores a bit and I felt like it was very purifying. It didn't dry out my skin.

Repurchase: maybe

Labello Labellino Raspberry Red Apple Lip Balm

These little eggs are a bit newer version of lip balms for Labello. Yes they might look like EOS lip balms, however these are not waxy. At first I thought the Labellino was amazing but then I discovered that still the classic Labello is the best for me. This one smelt amazing: very fruity. It left a bit of a light pink tone on the lips, so if my lips were cracked this lip balm would show in each crack, which looked gross. But on a normal day, I liked it.

Repurchase: maybe

Labello Classic Care

My all time favorite lip balm. It's a bit thicker and looks oily on the lips, however I feel like it is really one of the best (even though ingredients aren't any special). For me it just works, so I always repurchase it.

Repurchase: yes

Vichy Idealia Eyes (eye cream)

It took me such a long time to use up this eye cream. To be honest, I thought it was just ok. It has a pearly tint to it, which is nice in the morning of before you're using makeup, so the under eye area looks a bit more awaken. Other than that, I didn't think it was moisturizing enough for me. Though I loved the jelly applicator which was handy.

Repurchase: probably not

Duchesse Intimate Wipes

I really like these. They are wet enough and nicely calming. I use them mostly during that "time of the month".

Repurchase: yes

Balea Refreshing Wipes 3 in 1

These makeup wipes were actually really nice. They were gentle enough and removed mascara quite okay. Also they were very lightly scented. I used them when travelling. They aren't the best but for the price, they're quite decent.

Repurchase: probably

Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes

I bought this on BeautyBay because I wanted the free shipping ha ha. I chose them because they're supposed to be "soothing" or for sensitive skin. Well, they stung my eyes quite a lot, so my expectations were suddenly diminished. The wipes were nicely wet and smelled lightly of cucumbers, however they were just too harsh on my skin.

Repurchase: no

Duchesse Cotton Pads (duo quality)

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are a bit thinner, but still have a great quality. They work great, so I keep repurchasing them.

Repurchase: yes (always)
