NOTD #4 – Revlon Charming

23. 4. 2014

I love violet clothes, my violet watch, violet wardrobe, violet umbrella … and last but not least, my Revlon pastel violet nail polish. I’ve had it for a month and use it at least once per week, aaaa! Luckily, the jar contains quite a lot of polish, but I’ll have to find a new one at some point in the future. Until then, I’ll be happy to wear it and I’ll pretend that it will be with me forever :D

Ljubim vijolična oblačilasvojo, vijolično uro, vijoličo omaro, vijoličen dežnik … in navsezadnje Revlonov pastelno vijoličen lak za nohte. Imam ga en mesec in na nohtih ga imam vsaj enkrat na teden, aaaa! Na srečo ga je v posodici res veliko, vendar bom morala na neki točki v prihodnosti poiskati novega. Do takrat pa ga bom veselo nosila in se pretvarjala, da ga bom imela za vedno :D

Empties #1

9. 4. 2014

Živjo! :) Končno sem se odločila napravit objavo o izpraznjenih izdelkih. Toliko časa sem zavlačevala, da sem še enkrat toliko izdelkov že vrgla v koš, ampak nekaj je bolje kot nič! Pa začnimo :)

Hi! :) I finally managed to create a post about empties. I postponed the post for so long that I threw away at least half of empty products, but I guess some products are better than none! Let’s start :)

IMG_8958

Batiste suhi šampon XXL volume – suhi šamponi v spreju znamke Batiste so odlični. Ta je namenjen večjemu volumnu, zato na laseh pusti čuden, mokast občutek. Bolj mi ustrezajo ostale vrste, tega ne bom ponovno kupila. Pri nas se jih sicer ne dobi, lahko pa jih naročimo prek asosa. 

Balea gel za tuširanje Exotic shower – najboljši gel za tuširanje! Vonj po eksotičnem sadju je enkraten in ko ga vonjam, imam vedno občutek, da sem na morju sredi poletja. Poleg tega pa je še tekstura izjemno zanimiva – ko gel namažemo po telesu, se spremeni v zelo gosto peno. Komaj čakam, da ga ponovno kupim :)

Batiste dry shampoo XXL volume – Batiste dry shampoos are great. This one is meant to create an XXL volume. However, it leaves a weird powdery layer on your hair (for the volume effect, I guess) and I won’t repurchase it because I prefer other types of this shampoo. They are not available in Slovenia, but can be purchased on asos.

Balea Exitic Shower shower gel – this is the best shower gel ever! The scent of exotic fruits is amazing and when I smell it I always have a feeling that I’m on the seaside in the middle of summer. Besides, the texture is very interesting – when the gel is applied on the body, it turns into very thick foam. I can’t wait to repurchase it :)

IMG_8963

Alverde deodorant z aloe vero – deodorant je zelo nežen in ima prijeten vonj. To je verjetno že moja tretja ali četrta steklenička. Glede učinkovitosti vam lahko povem, da je pri meni enako “močan” oz. neučinkovit kot ostali antiperspiranti, zato uporabljam kar naravnega, ker mi tako ali tako nič ne pomaga. Zagotovo ga bom ponovno ga kupila.

Revlon PhotoReady v odtenku Vanille – to podlago sem redno uporabljala nekaj let. Puder je izjemno prekriven, vendar vsebuje čisto majhne bleščice za retuširan efekt. Trenutno ga uporabljam za mešanje z drugimi podlagami, ker je ta že malo presvetla zame. Drugače pa ga priporočam!

Alverde krema za roke z ognjičem – nad to kremo za roke sem bila zelo navdušena, ker se v kožo resnično hitro vpije in ne pusti packarije. Vonj je zelo nežen, tako da je odlična za tiste, ki ne želijo močno odišavljenih krem.

Alverde deodorant with aloe vera – the deodorant is very gentle and has a pleasant scent. This is probably my third or fourth bottle. As for its effectiveness, I can tell you that it is as “strong” or should I say ineffective as all the other antiperspirants. This is why I use this one, because they never help anyway. I will definitely repurchase it again.

Revlon PhotoReady in shade Vanilla – I used this foundation regularly for a couple of years. The foundation has a really good coverage, but it contains very small glitter for the airbrush effect. I currently use it for mixing with other foundations, because it’s a bit too light for my skin. I recommend it!

Alverde hand cream with calendula – I was thrilled with this hand cream because the skin absorbs it really quickly and does not leave a wet layer on the skin. Its scent is mild and is thus appropriate for those who don’t like to use strongly scented creams.

NOTD #3 ‒ Bleached Neons & morning coffee

4. 4. 2014

IMG_8857

IMG_8864

Včeraj sem imela eno uro časa za sprehajanje po centru Ljubljane, zato sem (seveda) zavila v Müller. Takoj sem se zaljubila v Maybelline lak za nohte iz nove kolekcije Bleached neons v marelični barvi. En noht sem premazala s Catrice lakom Crushed Crystals v odtenku Oyster & Champagne. Na tak način ga pogosto uporabljam, imam celo občutek, da ta odtenek paše k ravno vsem barvam! Prijetno pisan vikend vam želim :)

Yesterday, I had a spare hour in the centre of Ljubljana, so I (of course) headed to Müller. I immediately fell in love with the Maybelline nail polish from the Bleached Neons collection in a peachy shade. On one nail, I applied the Catrice Crushed Crystals nail polish in the shade Oyster & Champagne. I use it on a regular basis, I even think this shade matches all the colors! I hope you’ll have a colorful weekend :)

Essence effect nails ‒ velours powder

31. 3. 2014

Živjo! :) Danes sem se počutila zelo ustvarjalno, zato sem v roke vzela Essence Nail art rdeč puder za nohte. Kupila sem ga februarja in dvakrat že uporabila. Moram priznati, da je postopek precej tečen, na koncu pa imamo celotno delovno površino prekrito s pudrom. Zagotovo obstaja lažji način, zame je ta edini, ki vseeno ne zapraši cele sobe :)

Hi! :) I was feeling very crafty today, so I decided to create with the Essence Nail art red velvet powder for nails. I’ve bought it in February and used it twice since then. I have to admit that the whole process is quite complicated and the whole working surface is covered with powder at the end. I’m sure there is an easier way, this one is the only one that doesn’t cover the whole room with powder :)

IMG_8652

Najprej sem vse nohte namazala z Essence podlakom. Nato sem vse nohte prekrila s temno rdečim Essie lakom za nohte (shearling darling). Levi prstanec sem izpustila, ker je najbolje, da so vsi ostali nohti suhi ali pa niso namazani, da se puder ne prijema na druge nohte (razen če puder nanašamo na vse nohte). Ko so bili nohti popolnoma suhi, sem na prstanec nanesla dve debeli plasti lahka za nohte.

Puder je v posodici, ki ima na vrhu pokrovček z luknjicami. Žal puder ne pada ven, tako kot bi moral, zato sem pokrovček odstranila in puder s pinceto preložila na papir. Nato sem neposušen noht povaljala v pudru.

First, I applied the Essence base coat on all nails. Then I used a dark red Essie nail polish (shearing darling). I left out my left ring finger ‒ it’s easier to apply the powder when all the other nails are dry (unless you want to apply the powder on all of your nails). When the nails were dry, I generously applied two thick coats of the nail polish.

The powder is stored in a container and covered with a lid with holes. Unfortunately, the powder doesn’t fall out as it should, so I took off the lid and moved the powder on the paper. Then I rolled the undried nail in the powder.

Puder po nekaj urah malo spremeni strukturo in potemni. Drugače je manikura zanimiva, z veseljem bi jo imela večkrat in na vseh nohtih. Žal vzame preveč časa, vendar sem mi zdi, da je tudi na samo enem nohtu popolnoma prikupna. :)

The powder changes its structure and darkens after a few hours. The manicure is otherwise very interesting and I would love to have it more often and on all of my nails. Unfortunately, the preparation takes too long, but i think it’s nevertheless adorable on only one nail. :)

New In ‒ March haul

28. 3. 2014

Zdravo! Aaa, marec je že na koncu! Sploh ne morem verjeti, kako hitro se dnevi menjajo, sploh jih ne dohajam! Zato pa sem bolj zbrana pri nakupovanju :) V tem mescu sem kupila kar nekaj stvari, izpostavila pa bom najnovejše cukrčke <3

Hi there! Whaat, it’s the end of March already! I can’t believe how quickly the days go by, I can barely keep up! On the other hand, I’m more concentrated on shopping :) I’ve bought quite many things this month, but I’m going to focus on the latest sweeties <3

– H&M sončna očala: nikoli nisem bila prepričana nad kvaliteto H&M sončnih očal. Lani sem vseeno kupila čudovita rdeča očala, ki jih redno nosim že več kot eno leto. Sicer mi živalski vzorci niso preveč všeč, vendar me tukaj ne motijo. Komaj čakam, da bo spet malo več sonca! :)

– H&M kozmetična torbica: torbici s tako lepim rožastim vzorcem se nisem mogla upreti <3 Tako je lepa, da bi jo takoj uporabljala kot manjšo ročno torbico :) Mogoče, mogoče …

– H&M sunglasses: I was never sure whether H&M glasses are of good quality. I ‘ve nevertheless bought a gorgeous pair of red sunglasses last year, and I’ve been using them regularly since then. I usually don’t like animal print, but it doesn’t bother me in this case. I can’t wait for more sunshine! :)

– H&M make-up bag: I couldn’t resist a bag with such beautiful floral details <3 It’s so beautiful, I would immediately use it as a clutch :) Maybe, maybe …

– Essence rdečilo za lica iz kolekcije Cookies & Cream (Cakepop, that’s top!) je čudovite marelične barve. Celotna kolekcija je tako prikupna, da bi takoj imela vse izdelke :) Rdečilo je zelo močno pigmentirano in malo svetleče, tako da je zelo primerno za pomlad.

– MUA rdečilo v barvi 2 pa je zelo rožnato in mat, o vtisih vas obvestim kasneje.

– Essence blush from the Cookies & Cream Collection (Cakepop, that’s top!) is  has a gorgeous apricoty shade. The whole collection is so cute, I’d love to have all products :) The blush is very pigmented and a bit shimmery, thus very suitable for spring.

– MUA blush in shade 2 is pink and matt, I’ll let you know my impressions later.

IMG_8603

– Revlon lak za nohte v odtenku Charming je pastelno vijolične barve, podobne sivki. Ker so vsi Revlon laki na mojih nohtih najbolj obstojni, sem prepričana, da se bo tudi ta izkazal.

– Garnier balzam za lase z marelicami: do sedaj sem redno uporabljala balzame Balea, zdaj pa sem se odločila, da svojo rutino malo spremenim. Odločila sem se za Garnierjev balzam, božansko diši po marelicah. Danes sem ga že preskusila, med čakanjem, da balzam izperem, sem imela mini aromaterapijo! Lase je po uporabi resnično lažje razčesati, poleg tega pa še vedno lepo dišijo. Odličen je!

– Revlon nail polish in shade Charming is a pastel violet polish, similar to lavender. Since all Revlon polishes are great on my nails, I’m sure this one will prove the same.

– Garnier conditioner with apricot: I regularly used the Balea conditioners until now, and I decided to change my routine a little bit. I chose the Garnier conditioner with a lovely apricot-y scent. I’ve already used it today and while waiting for the last wash I had a mini aromatherapy! It was much easier to comb my hair, and besides, they have a lovely scent. It’s great!

No, pa sem skoraj vse spravila v torbico :) Lep vikend vam želim!

Well, I managed to store almost all of the products in the bag :) I wish you a lovely weekend!

NOTD #2 ‒ Revlon (Siren)

9. 3. 2014

IMG_8275IMG_8282IMG_8283

Ali se samo meni zdi, da se vzdušje popolnoma spremeni, takoj ko malo posije sonce? V lepem vremenu mi vedno postanejo všeč močne, žive barve. Le zakaj jih ne bi začela uporabljati že v prvih sončnih dnevih? :)

Is it just me or does the atmosphere completely change once the sun starts shining? In a nice weather, I always go for very vivid colors. And why wouldn’t I start using them in the first sunny days? :)

My current skincare routine

4. 3. 2014

Zdaj je že marec, snega že dva tedna ni, jaz pa z zamudo pišem o trenutni negi obraza ‒ brez skrbi, še vedno je enaka ;)

It’s march already, the snow has been gone for two weeks, and I’m writing about my current skincare routine ‒ no worries, it’s still the same ;)

IMG_8012

Jeseni me je fant presenetil s štirimi L’Occitane izdelki, in sicer fluidom za obraz, masko, tonikom za matiranje in čistilno peno iz kolekcije Angelika ‒ le kako je vedel, kaj imam rada? :D  

Maska ‒ uporabljam jo dvakrat na teden, v kožo se zelo hitro vpije in jo dobro navlaži.        Tonik ‒ običajno ga uporabljam po odstranjevanju ličil s čistilnim mlekom in po uporabi maske.                                                                                                                          Fluid  ‒ priznati moram, da fluid res odlično opravi svojo nalogo. Kožo osveži, obenem pa ne pušča mastnega sloja, zato je odličen za uporabo pred nanosom podlage.         

In autumn, my boyfriend surprised me with four products of the L’Occitane’s Angelica collection, namely the fluid, mask, mattifying toner and foaming cleanser ‒ how on earth did he know what I like? :D                                                                                                      

 Mask ‒ I use it twice per week, the skin absorbs it quickly and it’s really refreshing.            Toner ‒ I usually use it after removing my makeup with a cleansing milk.                            Fluid ‒ I have to admit that the fluid really does its job. It freshens the skin, does not leave a greasy layer on and is thus perfect for use before applying your foundation. 

IMG_8008

Naslednje tri izdelke uporabljam enkrat do dvakrat na teden.

Piling za obraz ‒ piling St. Ives sem lansko leto kupila v Londonu, zdaj se sprašujem, zakaj nisem vzela še enega!! Piling je sicer kar grob, zato ni primeren za zelo občutljivo kožo. Jaz takih problemov nimam, kožo odlično očisti in jo pripravi na nadaljnjo nego.  Piling za ustnice  ‒ pozimi je koža suha, ustnice pa niso nobena izjema in v mrzlih mesecih prav tako potrebujejo nego. Sivkin piling sem naredila sama, recept je na voljo tukaj :)                                                                                                                             Krema za obraz ‒ Yves Rocher vlažilno kremo s kamilico se lahko uporablja tako podnevi kot zvečer. Krema je malenkost mastna, zato je ne priporočam za uporabo neposredno pred nanosom podlage. Nanesem jo takrat, ko čez dan ne uporabljam makeupa.

I use the next three products once or twice per week.                                                  

  Face scrub ‒ I bought the St. Ives scrub in London last year and I’m asking myself why I hadn’t bought another one! The scrub is quite rough and thus not suitable for a sensitive skin. I don’t have those problems, it cleanses the skin wonderfully and prepares it for the next stages of care.                                                                                                                     Lip scrub ‒ the skin gets very dry in winter and our lips are no exception, so it’s recommended to take care of them in colder months too. I made the lavender lip scrub myself, the recipe is available here :)                                                                               Face cream ‒ The Yves Rocher moisturising face cream can be used both by day and night. It’s a little bit greasy and I don’t recommend it before applying a foundation. I usually apply it when I don’t wear any makeup.

IMG_8011

Bliža se pomlad, zato bom nego kože počasi malo spremenila in prilagodila toplejšim mesecem :) Papa!

Spring is close, so I’ll have to change my skincare routine a little bit and adapt it for warmer months :) Buh bye!
