Another Monday, another opportunity for a new nail polish and a short post! As I’ve mentioned quite many times, I absolutely adore the Maybelline Colorama nail polish. The quality of the products is amazing and they last as long as much more expensive ones on my nails. As for the color, this hot pink / slightly fuchsia attracted my attention in no time. Who wouldn’t like to have such a beauty on her nails? ;)

There is no secret that I adore Yves Rocher products. I’ve had a few of their small perfumes until now, vanilla and peach scents, some body lotions and face creams. In Zagreb, however, I found a new love for 15 ml eaux de parfum! The store had around five different scents which are actually smaller packages of some perfumes in big bottles. This is great, especially if you cannot decide which one do you prefer, you can simply take both (or multiple)! Almost all scents are very fresh, so it was difficult to choose only one. I opted for Tendre Jasmin at the end, it has a gorgeous floral scent based on the jasmine blossom. Moreover, the package says that this scent is a concentrate of femininity and personally, I could not agree more. And you, have you ever tried some of their perfumes? :)

My everyday makeup has been pretty much the same recently. I still like to make it as simple and natural as possible, but top it off with a strong lipstick. Talking about lipsticks, they never seem to be bright on my lips for a reason (as seen in the third photo!). This Rimmel lipstick (Kate Moss) in the shade 30 is perfect for autumn, especially because of its creamy texture. As I already mentioned, it looks completely different on the picture. My favorite part of this look are the cheeks, I used the MUA cream blush in shade Dolly. Although I don’t like cream blushes, I just adore this one! It creates a gorgeous peach finish and is so easy to blend it in. I use the Real Techniques stippling brush, but it can be easily applied with fingers as well. Apart from the Rimmel eyebrow pencil in the shade Hazel, which I love love love, everything is pretty much the same as in the last couple of months :P That is, the Makeup Revolution palette Iconic 1, the Colossal Volum’ Express mascara by Maybelline, e.l.f. eyeshadow primer, the essence black longlasting eye pencil and the Manhattan powder matt foundation in shade Sand 80 (it’s a bit too light, so I mix it with a darker one).
The autumn vibe will definitely bring out a bit stronger eyes, maybe even smokey eyes which I loved a few years ago. Plus, I just can’t wait to start using deep red lipstick, I feel that I need a new one … We’ll see about that, I will definitely let you know about everything! :) Take care ♥

As already mentioned in the summer favorites post, I really like to use the Rimmel nail polish in the shade White Hot Love at the moment. Two coats are just enough for a good opacity. I do like nude and transparent shades, but such an intense white nail polish is great for a change. There is only one thing bothering me, why is this bottle so small?! I would love to have a bit bigger one, but this will do for now :) I hope that we will have Rimmel products in Slovene drugstores in the near future; online shopping is never as interesting as it is to view the products on the shelves :) Wish you a pleasant start of the week ♥
Kot sem povedala že v prispevku o najljubših izdelkih tega poletja, trenutno izjemno rada uporabljam Rimmlov lak za nohte White Hot Love. Za dobro prekrivnost sta dve plasti popolnoma dovolj. Sicer imam rada tudi prosojne nude odtenke, vendar je tako močna bela barva super sprememba. Moti me samo ena malenkost, steklenička je tako majhna! Z veseljem bi imela malenkost večjo, vendar bo zaenkrat kar v redu :) Upam, da bomo lahko kmalu tudi v slovenskih drogerijah kupovali Rimmlove izdelke, spletno nakupovanje je mnogo manj zanimivo kot pa ogledovanje izdelkov na policah :) Prijeten začetek tedna vam želim ♥

Lots of foreign bloggers seem to be enthusiastic about The Body Shop honey bronzers. Their matte texture allows us to contour the whole face and achieve as natural look as possible. There are four shades, mine is the third in the row and is called medium matte.
Veliko tujih blogerk je navdušenih nad The Body Shop bronzerji z medenimi odtenki. Ker imajo mat teksturo, lahko z njimi senčimo celoten obraz in dosežemo kar se da naraven videz. Dobimo ga lahko v štirih različnih odtenkih, moj pa pa je tretji po vrsti in se imenuje medium matte.
It was really hard to wait to take pictures first; only after that I tried it on my skin for the first time :) An essential information: all the shades (except for the last one) are quite light and although I have the third one, it is still quite light for me. Nonetheless, it delicately accentuates my cheek bones and other parts that would be otherwise sun-kissed. It will definitely be more visible in colder months.
Komaj sem počakala, da sem ga najprej poslikala in šele potem prvič poskusila na svoji koži! :) Pomemben podatek: vsi odtenki razen zadnjega so izjemno svetli in čeprav uporabljam tretjega, je zame še vedno precej svetel. Nežno poudari ličnice in ostale predele, ki bi jih obsijalo sonce. Sicer pa bo v hladnejših mesecih prišel bolj do izraza kot poleti.
This beautiful shade is not the only aspect I am passionate about, the texture of the bronzer is also interesting. It really is in accordance with its name, since it is designed as honeycombs and if you watch carefully, you can see that all the cells are actually convex! A real optical illusion, I say. Luckily, the bronzer is very real indeed ;)
Poleg res lepega odtenka sem verjetno najbolj navdušena nad teksturo samega bronzerja. Zelo je skladen z imenom, saj je oblikovan kot čebelje satovje, in če dobro pogledamo, so vse celice izbočene! Prava optična iluzija, vam pravim. Bronzer pa je na srečo vendarle resničen ;)

I have placed orders from e.l.f. many times, because I am almost never disappointed by their products. I have quite a few of their products and I am currently the most enthusiastic about the makeup mist & set, eye primer and eye shadows. However, this purchase has been completely different. I have never tried their bronzers, blushes, or brushes and I thought it was a great opportunity to try them too.
S spletne strani e.l.f. sem že večkrat naročala, saj me njihovi izdelki skoraj nikoli ne razočarajo. Imam že nekaj izdelkov in najbolj sem najbolj navdušena nad sprejem za utrjevanje ličil in primerjem za oči. Ta nakup pa je bil popolnoma drugačen. Nisem še namreč poskusila bronzerjev, rdečil ali čopičev in zdela se mi je odlična priložnost, da nakupim tudi to.
The bronzer in the shade Sunkissed comes in a simple plastic packaging, which seems quite fragile in comparison to the blush. Its brown color is otherwise beautiful and contains some shimmer. A small brush is included, but it is somehow too small to do anything with it so I will not use it. (at the bottom)
The blush is in the shade Pink Passion. This bright pink becomes lighter when applied on the skin. The packaging is very compact and includes a mirror. I am usually not thrilled about blushes, but this one seems really nice. If I will like it after some time, I will focus on it in another post. (in the middle)
Shimmering facial whip with glitter in the shade Golden Peach is actually a cream highlighter for the whole face − eyes, lips and cheeks. I bought it for the cheeks but looks better on the eyes. It fades after some time and I do not recommend it for a long lasting make up. (on the top)
Bronzer v odtenku Sunkissed je pakiran v enostavni plastični embalaži, ki je v primerjavi z blushem kar krhka. Sicer pa je prelepe rjavkaste barve z malo bleščicami. V pakiranju pride z majhnim čopičem, ki pa se mi zdi malenkost neuporaben. Popolnoma premajhen je, tako da ga ne bom uporabljala. (spodnji)
Rdečilo je v močnem roza odtenku Pink Passion, ki pa na koži postane svetlejši. Embalaža je zelo kompaktna, ima pa tudi ogledalce. Nad rdečili običajno nisem navdušena, to pa je res simpatično. Če mi bo v prihodnje še tako všeč, bo omenjen tudi v kakšni drugi objavi. (srednji)
Krema za obraz z bleščicami v odtenku Golden Peach je osvetljevalec v kremi za celoten obraz, torej oči, ustnice in lička. Naročila sem ga za lička, vendar mi je boljši na očeh. Sčasoma zbledi, tako da ni primeren za bolj obstojen make up. (zgornji)
The lip balm with strawberry flavor should provide intensive moisture, as well as heal and prevent chapping. Well, I haven’t noticed anything in particular, the Alverde lip balms are still the best in my opinion .
Last but not least, the eyebrow kit. It comes in two shades, a lighter one in a hard form and the darker one in a gel form. The lighter one is so dusty that is not even visible on the brows, whereas the gel one is too dark. It is somehow the best way to combine both with a bigger brush (the kit brush is absolutely too small) and fill the eyebrows … Does this even make sense? Well, it works for me :)
Mazilo za ustnice z vonjem jagode naj bi zagotavljalo celovito vlaženje ustnic in zdravilo ter preprečevalo suho kožo. Hmm, meni ničesar od tega ni izrazito izboljšalo, Alverde mazila za ustnice so še vedno na prvem mestu.
In še zadnji, set za urejanje obrvi ima dva odtenka, svetlejši v trdi obliki in temnejši v gelu. Svetlejši se tako praši, da ga na obrveh sploh ne opazim, temnejši pa je zelo temen. Nekako najboljša rešitev je, da z večjim čopičem (ta je absolutno premajhen) zmešam malo gela in prahu in tako zapolnim obrvi … Je to sploh smiselno? Važno, da pri meni deluje :)

Although I’m currently using blushes more than before, bronzers are still my favorite choice. A few months ago, I ordered the Beauty UK baked bronzer in the shade goddess (4). It seemed to be quite dark in the picture, so I took it immediately!
Čeprav zadnje čase rdečila raje uporabljam kot pred leti, so bronzerji še vedno moja najljubša izbira. Nekaj mesecev nazaj sem na spletni strani licila.si naročila baked bronzer znamke Beauty UK v odtenku goddess (4). Na sliki mi je deloval precej temen, zato sem ga nemudoma vzela!
The bronzer turned out to be very shimmery and quite light. I could have searched for the swatches on the Internet before I ordered it … but the damage has already been done :) Since it’s very light and the glitter is so tiny, I use it as a highlighter above the bronzer I’ve already applied. It’s really long lasting and I’m quite sorry that the shade is not darker; I really want to find a darker, yet shimmery bronzer. It seems like I’ll be looking for the one for quite some time :)
Izkazalo se je, da je bronzer v resnici zelo svetleč in precej svetel. Sicer bi se lahko malo pozanimala o odtenku, preden sem naročila … vendar je bila škoda že storjena :) Ker je zelo svetel in ker so bleščice izjemno majhne, ga uporabljam bolj kot osvetljevalec nad že nanešenim bronzerjem. Zelo je dolgo obstojen in kar malo mi je žal, da ni temnejši, ker si res želim najti močnejši, a vseeno malce bleščeč bronzer. Očitno bom pravega še kar nekaj časa iskala :)
