KYLIE Lip kit - Worth the hype?

You know the Dash clan, don't you? Since I'm not really a big fan of theirs, Kylie is a beauty bomb. Not genuine, but you have to admit it, she looks fab! Her cosmetics are sold out in minutes, sometimes the site crushes because of too many people shopping. Everyone started to hype all over her lip kits. They were so popular, a lot of fake ones got on the market. It was hard to say which one is original. After some time, I decided to get lip a kit myself.

Since all of nude colours were sold out of course, I decided to give it a go to the Posie K. It's not really a nude colour but a bit more pinky-purple one. The fall is coming and that may be the perfect time for darker shades. I saw she has also some hard core colours like black and blue, but I wouldn't use any of those to be sure. So how did I like it?

Firstly, the lip liner and liquid lipstick aren't same colour to be fair. I tried lip pencil at first. Good feeling on the lips (not sure if because of the price? :)), great liner if you want your lips to pop out a bit more, make them bigger and outline them. After that I applied a thin layer of liquid lipstick. Smells good, but maybe the first feeling is like wearing 10 layers of MAC lipstic - might be heavy, but I think it's worth it.

Combining all together, the kit lasts like a lot on your lips. I tried it for work, I ate, talked, drank, everything and the consistency and overall look was the same after more than 10 hours.
Even when washing your face it's hard to take everything off. Big like for that. Before this kit my all time winners were Mac matte lipsticks, now I wish I could own a Kylie liquid lipstick in shade of my MAC nude one. Can you imagine? Wow!

So, if you don't mind spending 30$ on this lip kit, you should get one! I love it. Do you own a Kylie lip kit? Do you think is it worth the hype?

Love, M.

L'OCCITANE: Citronka in sivka praznujeta 40 let!

Vse najboljše, dragi L'Occitane. V trgovinicah je vse noro dišeče, svečke pred vhodi in košarice sivke po trgovini me res vsak dan znova popeljejo v deželo, ki si jo tako močno želim obiskati. Prava sivka in citronka sta ključni sestavini L'Occitana iz žetvene kolekcije, ki sta letos dobili novo podobo. Vsaka navdihuje s še bolj posebnimi vonji ter vabi vsakega da skoči z njo v neskončna polja ljubezni v Provansi.

Prva dišava, ustvarjena s strani L'Occitana, je bila Citronka. Klasična in močna, kot listi, ki jih pomečkaš v roki, ustvarjata svežino, ki traja in traja. Navdih za novo citronkino embalažo so neskončna polja citronke v pokrajini Drôme, ki segajo do kamor seže pogled.

Embalaža je prav po mojem okusu. Ni več toliko minimalistična kot prejšnje edicije, opazi se razkošje in praznovalni duh kolekcje. V dišavo so vnesli malce lahkotnejšo citronko in žensko geranijo. Vonj je svež in ravno prav močan ter dolgotrajen. Izmed vseh treh citronkinih edicij je ta dosegla sam vrh.

Kolekcija je opremljena s samimi novostmi. Citronka še ni imela tako nežnega in poživljajočega pilinga za prhanje. Piling delci odstranijo odmrlo kožo in jo nežno poživijo s citrusno noto citronke. Novost te kolekcije je tudi vlažilna pena za telo. Posebna je zato, ker telo tako lepo hlaaadiiiiii! Lahko jo postavite v hladilnik za še boljši učinek. Must have za na plažo.
Malce spremenjena je tudi meglica za telo, ki v primerjavi s prejšnjo nima tako močnega in izrazitega vonja, prav tako pa telo osveži in ščiti tudi proti nadležnim komarjem.
Najbolj lušna pa sta mi dva citronkina mila, pakirana v čudoviti zeleni škatlici, ki se izvleče in razpre. Vsebujeta ekološko citronko in citronkine liste, ki ustvarijo nežen piling za telo.

Zmagovalki te kolekcije sta vsekakor nova dišava, ki pomete s konkurenco, ter milca! Juhu, 10/10.

Sivka je simbol Provanse in L'Occitana ter ima zgodovinsko povezavo s to blagovno znamko. Združuje etnični pristop podjetja glede naravnih sestavin skupaj z izjemnim znanjem o njihovi uporabi. Žetev sivke nastopi v Avgustu, ko se mladi fantje odpravijo na griče žeti sivko. Ob pokošenih poljih se nato zberejo in obujajo spomine žetev prejšnjih let.

Sivki pravimo tudi modro zlato in je pravi aromatični poklon Provanse. Je dišavna duša regije in plod cenjenega dela - najbolj cenjena na svetu je prav zato, ker njena dišava daleč prednjači pred drugimi vrstami sivke. Iz njenih cvetov pridobivajo močno aromatično olje, ki je pravi koncentrat z izjemno močnim sproščujočim učinkom.

Novost v kolekciji sta sivkina peneča kopel ter duo milo, podobno kot pri citronki. Med obema kolekcijama bi se vedno odločila za sivko zaradi izjemnega vonja ter vrednosti, ki jo nosi. Sivkino milo vsebuje tudi nežne sivkine cvetove za piling telesa in odstranitev odmrlih celic. Vsebuje eterično olje sivke in Visoke Provanse, ki je pridobljeno z destilacijo sivkinih cvetov po tradicionalnem receptu.
Eterično olje prave sivke AOP si lahko kupite s sklopu kolekcije. Jaz ga imam in ga cenim kot čudovito naravno zdravilo za 100 vrst nevšečnosti: nespečnost, piki žuželk in komarjev, sprostitev, glavobol, slabost, stres,...

Čisto eterično olje sivke je eno redkih, ki ga lahko nanašamo direktno na kožo. Pripomore k boljšemu počutju in dobremu spancu. Deluje adstringentno in očiščevalno, prav tako pa odganja insekte. Označba AOP je dodeljena le najčistejšemu olju sivke in Visoke Provanse, ki ga dobijo iz cvetov  prave sivke, gojene na nadmorski višini 800m in več.

Prava ljubezen, kajne? Kateri izdelki iz kolekcij citronka/sivka so vas najbolj navdušili? 

PREGNANT? A size 12 life

My beautiful readers, I hope you are all feelin' good. I was thinking about this post for a very long time but a week ago something pushed me over my limits and I knew this had to go viral!
It was the day a friend of mine was in the hospital and I went over to check him and spend some time with him since hospitals aren't really a fun place to be. I said hello to his other "rommies" and had a little chat with one of them. After I went home I got a message from my friend telling me that that rommie asked if I was expecting. I couldn't believe it! I asked my friend what did he say? And he said he told him I was so not pregnant. The rommie turned it all on some kind of joke and said he asked that because he saw my tummy. #fml. And so I decided to write him a letter. To him and any other male or female that insulted me or any other curvy or plus sized girl or woman.

Dear mr. Rommie,

with lightness in my heart I must say you can absolutely chill down and take your emergency calming pill, cause I AM NOT PREGNANT. Yes my tummy is bigger than your super skinny daughter's one, but can you ask yourself if she is also THAT happy and THAT healthy as I am? Well, I can assure you she's not. Let me tell you what I eat in a day: vegan bowl for breakfast, some fruits, super easy lunch full of veggies, more fruits and salad to end the day. Therefore, I am healthy as f. I feel good in my body and that white dress that made you think I'm expecting makes me 5kg slimmer, thank god.

My structure has nothing to do with my wellbeing and of course I wouldn't want to change my outside because of some nasty people not minding their business.

With awareness that we can all be healthy and not eat only a cracker and some water a day I could build an empire, but what can you do?

The person I admire the most is Ashley Graham, a MODEL and designer and above all, a BODY ACTIVIST that could make you wanna apologise for your words, once said " I will not let others dictate what they think my body should look like for their own comfort, and neither should you." And with that, I'm ending this brief letter hoping you will bite your tongue next time you will want to say something like that to a cheerful and strong, healthy young woman.

Here to us *cheers* - with a glass of WINE - that could get us fatter, but yeah - we don't really care.

Love, M.

Makeup factory Unlimited lips: Magnetic lips review

Hi my dear readers! Since I'm working again I can totally see the lack of inspiration and motivation for blogging. I keep all my ideas in my new fancy notebook, so don't worry. I've been off for some days because I was working on this post so much, I needed my photos to look lovely and since my camera broke that's quite impossible.
Anyway, I got Makeup factory Magnetic lipsticks sent for a review and I remained speechless. Since Makeup factory is more on a high end makeup I took some time for really try all shades and to set a post 'bout it and be a bit more professional here. Doing some business, right? :)

Makeup factory was built thinking high end makeup isn't only for makeup experts. All products are perfume and paraben free so they are perfect for sensitive skin as well.
I got 10 different shades: 090 Soft Nude, 098 Tangerine, 161 Sheer pink, 166 Deep pink, 171 Deep Magenta, 288 Copper Rust, 310 Warm Orange, 335 Bright coral, 343 Pink Fuchsia and 377 Pink Carmine.

They are all packed in a matte black case that closes with a small magnet - it's all about magnetic lips! Of course all of them are paraben free. I love the colours, not really nude, right? That's exactly what I like about them. The colours are very, very bright. Some of them would do a fine cherry on top for a night out outfit, but I don't hesitate wearing them all the time.

The texture is smooth and it shines a bit, later they turn semi-matte. All of them are extremely long lasting and what I think the most important part is your lips are moisturised for so long!
I use them every day with a light BB cream and just a bit of mascara - it's all about the lips. Perfect for hot weather and summer fashion.

The price if 15,99e, you can buy them in Müller or on their webstore here, click. I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but my favourite one is Warm Orange! I never owned and loved an orange lipstick so much!
What do you think? Aren't they just perfect? I got them a safe and clean space in my drawer.

Love, M.

LIERAC Hydragenist & Sensorielle

I just can't stop the hype over Lierac's products. I think this must be love. You know how desperately I was trying to find the right product for my oily skin/face? After a chat with the nicest lady from Mediforma she wanted me to try Lierac's new Hydragenist moisturising cream-gel, because even oily skin needs to be moisturised and feel fresh. Here's what I'm talking about:

// Drage bralke! Saj veste, kako norim za Lieracovimi izdelki, ane? Maska oz. piling in odstranjevalec ličil sta me totalno prevzela. Mislim, da je tukaj govora o pristni ljubezni! Sicer pa je moja težnja po pravem izdelku za moj obraz povsem realna; težko najdem izdelek, ki je primeren za mojo oljnato in mešano kožo, da bi kožo nahranil in je ne pustil v tistem groznem sijaju. Po pogovoru z Mediformo sem se odločila za test teh dveh bonbončkov:

Lierac Hydragenist gel-cream is this very fresh moisturiser that hydrates, mattifies and and replumps your skin. Also it should smooth little wrinkles and fine lines, but I don't really have this problem (yet). I found it quite challenging to see if this mattifying effect will work on oily skin. When applying it leaves a soft, smooth and fresh feeling on your face. I was actually ill when I first tried this and had some quite big pimples on my cheeks. After using this cream they disappeared immediately. Wow, big +!
Because of the micro rice powder the mattifying effect is seen quite quickly. Even in those veery hot summer days.
The scent isn't very strong, like I mentioned before it's really light and smells like jasmin, rose water and gardenia.

// Lierac Hidragenist gel krema je tale čudovit roza vlažilec kože, ki jo hkrati tudi matira ter "poravna" drobne gubice in majhne linije. Predvsem me je zanimal tale matirni efekt gel kreme v kombinaciji z mastno kožo. Po nanosu pusti kožo mehko in svežo, tale občutek je res super, kakor da si se osvežil z mrzlo vodo. Prvič sem gel poskusila v dneh, ko sem bila bolna in sem imela par ogromnih in nadležnih mozoljčkov. Po uporabi kremice so v nekaj dnevih popolnoma izginili. Kaaakšen plus! Juhu!
Zaradi mikro riževega pudra je tudi mat videz dosežen zelo hitro. Tale gel krema mi služi (tudi) kot odlična podlaga za ličila.
Sam vonj je izredno nežen: jasmin, rožna vodica in gardenija. Popolna kombinacija, obožujem vse tri vonje skupaj.
Cena za 50ml kremice je 44e, kupite jo lahko tukaj, klik.

The other thing is something I can't leave my house without. Lierac Sensorielle fresh dry oil with 3 citrus flowers.  I like it because the scent isn't so invasive, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any marks on your clothes. And it's absolutely alcohol free, yay!

// Lierac Sensorielle suho olje je moja stalnica zadnje tedne. Všeč mi je, ker vonj ni invaziven, se hitro vpije in ne pušča mastnih sledi na oblačilih. Uporabljam ga bolj za telo kot lase, čeprav je primeren za oboje. Vonj po kameliji, gardeniji in jasminu me spremlja čez cel dan. Je brez alkohola, vsebuje pa arganovo olje, mandljevo olje, izvleček grozdja ipd.
Za 31e ga lahko kupite tukaj, klik.

What do you think? I can smell it through my laptop :)

Love, M.

New lovers

This post just needs this title! It'll be all about the products I bought or received in my PR box and my first and second thoughts about them. I haven't really been in a proper shopping for some time - it is because the lack of money and my health that's been pushing me down these days.

// Živjo, dragi bralci (s tem mislim na moje dame in seveda peščico fantov, ki berejo moj blog - oh saj vem, da ga tudi ti!) Ja, tale objava je prav res klicala po takšnem naslovu. Tokrat vas bom popeljala skozi nove izdelke, ki sem jih kupila ali prejela in jih obožujem. Kljub temu, da sta me zdravje in minus na kartici prejšnji mesec dodobra pokopala, ta mesec pridno šparam in si bom na račun tega zaležanega tedna privoščila kakšno stvar; beri: master shopping.

Oh btw., my camera BROKE so those are the last pictures made with my dear Canon 700d. If you have any idea into what should I invest my money, please, please let me know down in the comments. 

Anyway: I got a gift from L'occitane and it's the new Verbena body mist*. The scent is very chilly, lemony, refreshing, with citronella gras and I use it mostly to get rid of the mosquitos. It works just fine but it should definitely last longer when it comes to the scent.

// Te sličice so zadnje, kar mi je uspelo stresti z mojega ljubega Canona, preden je šlo vse po zlu. V kolikor imate predlog, kateri aparat naj si omislim, mi prosim javite v komentarje, da ne kiksnem v temo :) Kakorkoli, L'occitane me je razveselil s Citronkino osvežilno meglico za telo. Prosim, ne pršite je v obraz :) Ima pravi citronkin vonj obogaten z eteričnimi olji, jaz pa ga najraje uporabljam kar kot zaščito proti komarjem. Edini minus, ki ga odkrivam pri veliko L'occitanovih produktih: ni dovolj obstojen. V kolikor bi bil bolj, bi bila to naravna zmaga nad naravnimi repelenti. No, pa saj to je tako ali tako. #loccitaneforever

The next thing I bought myself was the Biobaza Spring flowers deo - just captured some springy feeling there since the summer is already here. I was definitely in need of a new natural deo. Before that I used Borotalco but when I took a closer look to the ingredients over there I instantly put those in the trash. The Biobaza one is made out of 99% of natural ingredients with a gentle smell of roses and gardenia - love this combination.

// Za Biobazinim deodorantom stoji cela zgodba. O tem, kako sem prišla do spoznanja, da so Borotalco deororanti za v smeti, pa kdaj drugič. Opomnik: v kolikor jih imate, jih zavržite. Sestavinsko niso v redu. Pa še na živalicah testirajo. No, po nasvetih kolegic blogerk sem se odločila investirati v Biobaza Spring flowers deodorant, kjer ga je 90% narejenega iz naravnih sestavin. Bravo! Zaenkrat sem zadovoljna - vonj je vrtničin z gardenijo, obstojnost je ok. Odlična kombinacija vonjev :) 

Avon also got me prepared for the summer and I want to thank you a lot for that. I'm using the Face  hydrating mist Aloe & Cotton like crazy from the day I got it. The scent reminds me of my mum, don't know why. Maybe she used some kind of similar shower gels when I was little. Anyway, this one is always with me on the go, on the beach, on my desk - everywhere.

//Avon me je pripravil na poletje kakor da bo vedel, da bom tik pred velikim 21.6 zbolela. Kremico z zaščitnim faktorjem imam že na nočni polici, najbolj pa sem navdušena nad Aloe & Cotton meglico za obraz.* Diši po mami. A veste tisti vonj domačnosti, ki ga zaduhaš, ko objameš mamo? Točno to. Morda je mama imela kakšno kremico, ki jo zavoham v tej meglici. Čudovito navlaži obraz, ga osveži in je moj absolutni favorit v torbici, za na plažo in na pisalni mizi.

Well, those goodies, what can I say. I needed to go to Triest with my dear friend cause she needed a dress for her sisters' wedding and got home with come pink for me too. I got a new MAC Fast Play Amplified lipstick. I thought it would be more matte though, but it's so long-lasting and I love it even so. This one is more for a evening night-out. Kiko cosmetics Velvet passion in 305 is a matte lipstick and more brighty-one. If I'm honest, I saw a colour like this on the best Kate la vie blog and of course I needed one too then. Very happy with the colour, very long lasting, and matte of course. 5/5.

And last but not least I got a Sephora Velvet Cushion, which is a matte lip cream that I adore. I use it always with the Kiko one.

// Ni šlo brez Trsta. Prijateljica je morala po obleko za sestrino poroko, jaz pa sem prišla domov z vrečko Macove šminkice Amplified, Kiko Velvet Passion v odtenku 305 in Sephora Velvet Cushion v prav takšni barvi kot je Kikova. Macova je malce bolj svetleča, ampak še vedno zelo dolgo obstojna, Kikova in Sephorina pa sta mat verzije in vsekakor bolj žive barve. Ker rada eksperimentiram, bom verjetno včasih tudi barve zamenjala in fuksijo vzela s seboj ven.

The end is sweet like this Cherie Macaron nail polish by L'Oreal Paris. The bright colour and new package just urged me to get one - and it was on discounted! The lasting is poor I think, I need to paint my nails every two days when using this treasure. 

// Tale pa za na konec. L'orealov Cherie Macaron je odličen lakec za poleg mojih novih šmink. Prenovljena embalaža res bode v oči, pa še znižani so bili. Sem morala probat. Nad obsojnostjo pa sem precej razočarana. Meni zdržijo največ dva dni, pa moram narediti korekcijo. Ime pa prav kliče po novem imenu za blog - hecam se, zvesta Berlinu :)

Kaj pa je novega pri vas? 

Love, M.

VISETT HAAR-STOP NEGOVALNA PENA ZA ZAVIRANJE RASTI DLAČIC (slo)

Pozdravljene damice!

Tokrat bo moja objava samo v slovenščini, saj je moj namen približati vam izdelek, ki sem ga prejela iz strani Metroshop. Z Visett prahom za odstranjevanje dlačic sem se srečala že prej in mi je za razliko od vsega ostalega zelo ustrezal, tokrat pa sem se spoznala še z negovalno peno za zaviranje rasti dlačic.

Če pomislim koliko denarja sem že zapravila za izdelke za odstranjevanje dlačic bi si lahko verjetno privoščila kak rabljen avto :) Kljub temu sem vedno na lovu za kakšen nov izdelek, ki bi me totalno prepričal. Z klasičnim Visettom sem bila precej zadovoljna, saj nima tistega groznega vonja, nisem pa zaznala upočasnjene rasti dlačic. Prav zato sem bila toliko bolj navdušena, ko sem prejela tole Haar-stop peno.

Visett negovalna pena naj bi zavirala rast dlačic in podaljšala čas med dvema britjema. Če peno uporabljamo dosledno, se rast dlačič postopno zmanjša za 75%!!! Si mislite? Uau!
Peno uporabljam tako, da po britju nanesem sloj na predel, kjer bi si želela zmanjšati rast dlačič. Do sedaj sem peno poskusila na predelu nog do kolen.

Kako deluje:

Aktivna učinkovina izvlečka Gymnema Silvestre prepreči delitev celic v dlačnem mešičku in tako telesu podaja informacijo, kot da telo ne bi vsebovalo hranil za rast dlačic, zato le-te "zaspijo" (obožujem ta izraz, ko govorimo o poraščenosti :)).

Mnenje:

Visett pena je čudovitega vonja po vaniliji, kar je absoluten plus, saj mi ostali produkti/losjoni precej zaudarjajo. Nanos je enostaven, pena pa deluje tudi kot losjon, noge dodatno navlaži in jih ohranja mehke. Osebno sem nad produktom navdušena! Uporabljam ga malo več kot dva tedna in res zaznavam, da je trajanje med dvema britjema daljše. In kar je najbolj pomembno: navlaženost in občutek gladkosti je dolgotrajen! Bravo Visett!

Kar bi morali vedeti:

- Viset lahko uporabljamo tako na telesu kot na obrazu.
- Ne iritira kože, ne povzroča rdečice ali srbečice.
- Primerna je tudi za moške kot balzam oz. losjon po britju.
- Ko prenehamo z uporabo pene, se dlačice spet "zbudijo", saj se keratinizacija celic spet poveča.
- Pena je primerna za vse tipe kože.

Vsekakor bom z uporabo Visett Harr-stop pene nadaljevala, saj ustreza meni in moji koži, povrh vsega pa je njena uporaba tudi način, kako navlažiti kožo, saj je zaradi nenehnega britja lahko izsušena in iritirana.

10/10!

Love, M.

Artdeco High Performance Eyeshadow Pens

High pigmented and super soft eye pencil for us who wear glasses and contacts? Yes please! My heart skipped a beat when I saw Artdeco sent me some of their high performance pencils to test. When shopping I always put Artdeco in high brand cosmetics not because of their prices but because of their quality. Once I received their limited edition lip stick for gift and since then I'm in love.

// Vrhunska pigmentacija in dolga obstojnost mehkega senčila za nas, očalonosce in uporabnike leč? Oja, to potrebujemo! Kako mi je poskočilo srce ob odpiranju paketa, za katerega se mi še sanjalo ni, da me bo v njem pričakal Artdeco set! Artdeco sem nekako vedno postavljala v serijo visoko kakovostnih ličil - ne toliko zaradi njihove cene kot zaradi njihove kvalitete. Nekoč sem v dar prejela eno izmed njihovih limited edition šmink in od takrat jih obožujem!

Artdeco high performance pencils were neatly packed in a lovely makeup bag signed with You look lovely today. I do, thanks to you! I got four different pencils in colours: 24, 27, 56 and 62.

And did you know those pens are made for sensitive eyes and contact lens users? Also, they are paraben, fragrance and mineral-oil free! Yay! 

// V prisrčni torbici, ki mi je polepšala dan s tem, ko mi je povedala, da izgledam lušno, so me čakali štirje izmed Artdeco senčil v barvah: 24, 27, 56 in 62. Takoj sem začela s testiranjem! 

Aja, a ste vedeli, da so ta ličila narejena brez dišav, parabenov in mineralnih olj? Prav zato so naravnost ustvarjena za občutljive oči in tiste, ki se poslužujemo kontantnih leč. 
Kako so me navušili?

The texture and silky and creamy so I use them as Khol as much as the regular eyeshadow, but in this case I blend them softly. They are water resistant and loooong lasting. I wear them all day when working and their pigmentation is excellent. You don't need to sharpen them because the sharpener is built in! Love it!

// Tekstura svinčnika je mehka in svilnata, lahko ga uporabljam kot Khol kajal ali navadno senčilo, ker je zelo mehko. Pri tem pazim, da ga dobro zasenčim. So odporni na vodo in izjemno obstojni. Jaz prakticiram močnejši makeup zaradi očal in pri tem uporabnim kremno barvo za kotiček očesa in močnejšo za preostali del veke. Takšen nanos mi zdrži skoraj cel dan! Svinčniki so narejeni na navoj, tako da lahko mirno pozabimo na šiljenje (ki mi gre tako zelo na živce:))

What I did is I took two pencils for myself and gave two to my mother. She has small eyes and all eyeshadows just aren't long lasting enough to open and brighten her eyes. This pens do their job perfect. She is very pleased using them and will repurchase one for sure!

I want to thank you again, dear Artdeco. It means the world you saw me in the ocean of great bloggers and gave me an opportunity to test your products.

// Kar sem naredila je, da sem dva svičnika obdržala, dva pa podarila moji mamici, ki je z ličili na nuli. Želela sem jo malce razveseliti in jo obdariti s produkti, ki so boljše kvalitete kot tisti, ki jih hrani že dvajset let v svojem lončku. Prisilila sem jo (ja, prav berete), da je vse stare svinčnike zavrgla. Juhu! Ker ima manjše oči, ima veliko težav pri iskanju ličil, ki bi ji oči poudarile in jih izpostavile, ne pa še bolj pomanjšale. Pravi, da je z Artdeco svinčniki več kot zadovoljna in prisega na njih.
Ob tem bi se rada vnovič iz srca zahvalila Artdeco-ju, da me je v oceanu blogerk našel in mi ponudil možnost preiskušanja izdelkov.

Love, M.

Pivoine face care collection from L'occitane

Well my dear readers, it's been a while. Today is such an awful weather, I worked till 1 p.m and now I finally took some time for myself. Missed you all, I missed blogging a lot this week, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything until now, it's been super busy two weeks. I stopped working as a librarian and started my job at L'occitane, so until today I worked two jobs at once. Stressful, let me say. I feel weak, out of my blog post ideas resources etc. That's why I took this week off blogging. I was active on Instagram and Facebook at least.

At work I had this wonderful opportunity to try out L'occitane's new Peony face care collection. As you know, this collection is ideal for woman 25-35 years old who want their skin to look and feel just as perfect as they are. The well known serum, cream, CC cream and mist got their new brothers: perfecting toner, make up remover and gentle face scrub. Here they are:

How do they look? Pretty, right? Let me say, I tried all of them. The gentle scrub is cool. I like it a lot and I will probably purchase it in May. I could use it as a mask too. You just take for a nutshell of gel and massage it on your face. It transforms into the oil and leaves you skin fresh and soft. It has a bit of that fresh Peony scent but it is really gentle.
I was excited at first when I saw the Perfecting toner. It's like micellar water in gel texture. It removes makeup and leaves your skin clean and luminous. This one isn't on my wish list. I expected more watery texture and much stronger scent, where this one barely has any.

The absolute winner and first product on my wish list is the Perfecting toner. It refreshes and moisturises your skin as the touch up in your routine. After applying toner, your skin is ready to absorb serum and cream much better. This one has a pleasant Peony scent, which I adore. My skin looks just perfect after using this.

This is my collection that I adore and so does my skin. The CC cream is the reason why I don't need to wear any foundation somedays and look healthy and my skin looks perfect and natural. If you have extremely oily skin I suggest you to try perfecting cream first before buying it. It doesn't fit all skins, it contains shea butter that fits dry skin better.

Which of these newbies are you waiting for the most? Will you buy any?

    Love, M.

Lierac Démaquillant

Hello my dear readers! I made some photos the other day and I planned a few blog posts, but later I saw those photos were so bad I deleted them ASAP. It's been a while since my last very beauty-inspired post, but I got some little treasures and I've been testing them for a while. Other than that I'm super busy with opening my online store. Right now we're building a web page and everything needs to be just perfect! I'll keep you updated with everything. Now, let's get down to business.

// Dragi bralci in bralke! Zadnjič sem celo dopoldan preslikala in preškljocala po dnevni sobi, ko pa sem želela spisati objavo sem opazila, da so slike zanič. In jih posledično nabasala v smeti. Danes sem popravila situacijo in pripravila frišno objavico produkta, ki mi je zamajal tla pod nogami in s katerim sem že nekaj časa v ljubezenskem razmerju. To je Lierac Déemaquillant penasti gel za normalno do mešano kožo. Sama imam mešano, T predel pa masten, zato sem bila res radovedna, kaj mi bo prinesla ta novost. Za produkte se zahvaljujem Mediformi in moji čudoviti Moniki, ki ji lahko sledite na blogu tukaj, klik. 

I have been currently madly in love with Lierac Déemaquillant foaming cleansing gel for normal to combination skin, made of star anise and lime. Yum! I am one lucky girl to have received a full size product like this. Thanks to Mediforma and my sweet Monika (check her blog here, clickclick).

I remember the first day I tried this gel. I had very strong make up that day, big lashes, red lips and glittery eyeshadow. The instructions say you must apply the gel to wet skin, add some water to turn gel into the foam and rinse with water. And so I did in the shower. I thought I was gonna look like a witch after a break up when I'll come out of the shower, but you know what? NOT A SINGLE SPOT OF MAKE UP WAS LEFT ON MY FACE! This cleanser is like, the best thing I've had so far. Before Lierac I was using the L'occitane shea butter cleansing oil (also a 5 star product on my vanity).

// Spomnim se moje prve uporabi Lierac gela. Nosila sem precej udaren makeup, ki sem ga povrh tudi fiksirala, saj sem dolgo delala, pa še vikend je bil, saj veste. No, pod tušem sem prebrala navodila, da si gel naneseš na obraz, dodaš malo vode in zmasiraš, da nastane pena. Obraz umiješ z vodo in voila. Mislila sem, da bom po tem, ko bom prišla izpod tuša, izgledala podobno kot kakšna čarovnica s strtim srcem in po naporni noči. Ampak vse drugo - na obrazu ni bilo NITI SLEDU o makeupu, koža pa je bila čista, mehka in dišeča. Se hecaš, Mikela? Ne, niti slučajno. Po koncu mojega L'occitane karitejevega olja za obraz je tale Lieracov gel odliiičen nadomestek. Ok, morda ne nadomestek, ampak novi ljubljenček. Res sem navdušena!

The mix of honey, probiotics, anise and lime make your skin so soft and fresh, I really couldn't believe that. The scent reminds me of something from my childhood, but don't know what. 

Overall experience: 5/5

Scent: 5/5

Look: 4/5

Size: 5/5

This cleanser deserves a medal, yay! Have you tried it? Well, if you haven't, maybe you could find those products on my future online store. Stay tuned!

// Gel vsebuje same fine sestavine: med, probiotike, zvezdnati janež in limeto. 4 stvari, na katere sem nora! Vse skupaj mi diši po neki stvari iz otroštva, ki pa še nisem pogruntala, kaj je. Zato ga tudi vsak dan znova tako rada uporabljam, pravi Combray stil in sinestezije. Gel si za embalažo zasluži štirico, za vonj, velikost, kvaliteto in zadovoljnost z rezultatom pa čisto petico! Juhu! 

Ste ga že preizkusile? Vam je všeč?

How to storage makeup

Hello my dear readers! I just couldn't go on without doing nothing when I saw girls in our group discussing tips for makeup organisation. I went to Pinterest right away, saved a few pins and now, my dear fellow bloggers, here are some tips and tricks on how to storage and organise makeup when living in small space or rented room. Write down those ideas and go to Ikea, spend some money (not too much, plastic drawer dividers cost only a few euros) and really, reeeeallllyyy think about investing in an Alex drawer (IKEA). I own a few of them and they are really handy and spacious, also you can paint them the way you want. I will share with you some photos I found which I think are great to keep your things in order. I hope you will find some inspiration :)

Those are the plastic dividers I was talking about before. You can buy them in IKEA. The thing below, don't know how to call it, a plate? :) Is actually for cookies, but not in my house :)

This rack below is also from IKEA and I use too for my nail polishes. So handy. You can see all of them displayed right in front of you.

Explore also the old Ebay. Those organisers cost around 11$, but IKEA also offers a few of those for the same price.  Below are some ALEX storage ideas.

This is it. How do you storage your makeup? I use almost all of these ideas above. I have a big drawer full of dividers so I keep everything in order. Also remember to declutter! You can't actually use a gazillion foundations, right? Throw away!

Oriflame All love nature: Purifying tea tree line review

Hello everybody! I hope you are spending your days really good. I'm feeling just fine, working too much, but thinking about some new things in my life. I will probably make some personalised cosmetic products, so let me know in the comments if you support me with this decision :) More I can't say (yet). :)

Today my post will be all about pampering myself with some lovely products I got from Oriflame cosmetics, which are also my first catalogue brand that I got makeup from. I used to "steal" catalogues from my mum and searching for something really cool for that age, like a red lipstick or nude nail polish. I knew what was in. Now Oriflame grew in every single way possible and I am so proud of them. I wanted to try the Purifying tea tree line right away. I tested Tea tree clay mask, Tea tree blemish solver and Tea tree correcting stick.

// Danes je moj plan ocena Oriflamovih All love nature produktov za nego mastne kože, nagnjene k rdečici, kateri vsebujejo dragoceno eterično olje čajevca. Njam, obožujem ta vonj. Oriflame je prva kozmetična hiša, od katere sem dobila prve "ta prave" kozmetične produkte. Mami sem vedno skrivaj vzela katalog ter polepila strani, na katerih sem našla kaj zanimivega. Tako sem prejela kakšno rdečo šminko, pa kak nude lakec,... Danes je Oriflame precej večji, kot je bil takrat, na njih pa sem zelo ponosna in jim iz srca želim vse dobro za prihodnost. 

Blemishes are something I'm dealing with forever. I never paid that much attention to it, but now it begins to bother me. I've been using this Blemish solver* for some weeks now and it works like this: first when applying I get really red blemish on my usual spot on the face, but then it slowly disappears. I have it in my purse everywhere, because I really think it works. I heard some bloggers didn't like it that much, but for me and my oily skins works just fine. 3/5 from me.

And btw: did I tell you that I love the smell of tea tree essential oil that's in those products? 

// Rdečica in mini mozoljčki sta moja stalna spremljevalca, čeprav jima, vsaj rdečici, do pred kratkim nisem pripisovala posebnega pomena. Neko zimo pa sem ugotovila, da bi bilo ekstremno dobro, da bi se tega lahko rešila, saj se mi rdečica pojavi že ob minimalni spremembi temperature na hladno. Tako sem sprva preizkusila Love nature korektor s čajevcem*, ki ima izjemno blag vonj za moj okus ter dobro dene moji koži. Opazila sem, da na začetku uporabe moja koža kar precej pordi, nato pa se učinek zmanjša. To mi ne ustreza prav zelo, je pa res, da zelo dobro skrije pore in odpravi mozoljčke, zato ga vedno nosim s seboj v torbici. Ker nikoli ne veš... Ocena: 3/5

Let me say this first: this little one deserves a 5/5. Explain, blogger! This is a two in one corrective stick* with antibacterial essential tea tree oil. My undertone is cool so this is just like my personalised product. I use first the green side for my blemishes and nude side to conceal redness. I couldn't believe it. See yourself:

// Nad korektorjem v stiku s čajevcem* sem pa navdušena do konca. Antibakterijsko esencialno olje čajevca v tem produktu glede vonja ni tako izrazito, zato bi vam morda bolj ustrezal korektor v stiku kot pa prej omenjeni korektor. Z zelenim delom namažem izpostavljeni predel, z bež pa prekrijem rdečico. Pomaga in zdrži, čestitke, 5/5.

I love it and I'm very thankful that I got one. Adore you, Oriflame.

Love Nature Clay mask* is also my new mini lover. My skin is oily and this one really helps to clean my pores and absorb the excess sebum, so my skins feel so much better after using it. I love the matte look that my skin gets after cleaning my face. Ready for sleeping or in the morning ready for some light makeup! I give this mask also a 5/5.

// Glinena maska za obraz s čajevcem* je moj drugi favorit. Maska zelo dobro opravlja svoje delo, "počrpa" odvečni sebum, očisti pore ter moji koži na koncu doda mat efekt. Manj oljnate kože? Ja, prosim! Če jo uporabim zvečer, sem takoj pripravljena na doooolg spanec, zjutraj pa kožo pripravim za nanos rahlega dnevnega makeupa. Obožujem jo, uporabljam jo 2x tedensko. 5/5.

Navdušena sem nad Tea tree produkti, kot jim pravim sama. Mislim, da ne glede na ceno izredno dobro opravljajo svoje delo. Še dobro, da sem jih odkrila :)

Avon coloured lip balm and Mesmerize fragrance review

You can't actually know how happy was I when I got a biiiig package from Avon cosmetics waiting for me one morning. Just the best present to start a day. I got a bottle of Mesmerize frangrance and three coloured lip balms.

// Tokrat sem želela malce več pisati v slovenščini, zato bom temu posvetila več časa. Šele pred kratkim sem začela sodelovati z znamkami in všeč mi je, da me ljudje prepoznajo po objavah, privlačnih fotografijah in realnih ocenah. To je navsezadnje "strokovna" potrditev, da delaš na pravi poti (ki je v blogerskih vodah precej skrita in dolgotrajna za najti). Kakorkoli, neko jutro me je prebudil zvonec in glas poštarja. Ker sem bolj zaspanka in dolgo zvečer delam, se mu nisem oglasila, vendar že ve, da mi paket vseeno pusti pred vrati. Točka zate, prijazen poštar. Kakorkoli, Avon mi je poslal ogromen paket in mi čudovito polepšal jutro. Prejela sem Mesmerize dišavo in kar tri odtenke obarvanih balzamov za ustnice.

You know how much I love perfumes? I opened the package right away. Omg, the packaging is so my style. Looks so oriental. 5/5 for the look. Although this peachy scent could be my thing, I sensed it slightly stronger than I wanted to. The scent lasts for a while so I went working a few times wearing it, but wasn't that impressed. Maybe some other scent more floral or feminine could do the job.

// Oh, kako obožujem dišave. Ne štejem več svoje zbirke. Obožujem to, da se lahko pošpricam z dišavo, ki mi je namenjena določen dan. Kar tako, po počutju. Ko sem zagledala veliko modro škatlico, sem jo v sekundi odprla. Olala, kakšna embalaža. Orientalska, dragocena, zlata. Terna, dragi Avon. 5/5, tukaj si pobral vse točke :). Bela breskev, sandalvina in potonika tvorijo parfum Mesmerize*, ki me po vsebini ni preveč pritegnil, razlog pa je premočan vonj zame osebno. Sicer je dišava bolj orientalska (nisem ravno njihov pristaš), potoniko pa se skozi vonj lepo čuti. Prav tako vonj ne stagnira po pol ure, tako da dobi plus točke tudi zato. Menim, da bi meni odgovarjal kakšen bolj ženstven vonj. 

I'm totally impressed with those coloured lip balms. I got three different shades: Reviving raspberry*, Berry smooth* and Caring coral*. They contain bees wax, shea butter and vitamin E. Great choice, Avon. After application my lips looked and felt very moisturised and smooth. The perfect amount of colour gives my lips shine and I'm ready to go: with Reviving raspberry I'm going to work, Caring coral is my nr.1 when I wear more extravagant clothes and Berry smooth is my evening favourite. Also love the package, so I give them 5/5 points.

// Obarvani balzamčki so moja zadnja obsesija. V dnevih, ko delam jutranjo smeno, ne nosim skoraj nič makeupa, malce BB kreme, maskara in obarvan balzam. Še dobro, da sem jih dobila v treh odtenkih, tako Berry smooth nosim bolj za večerne izhode, Reviving raspberry skoraj vsak dan, Caring coral pa takrat, ko sem oblečena bolj ekstra in barvito. Sprva sem mislila, da mi oranžen odtenek sploh ne bo pristajal, pa se je izkazalo ravno obratno. Odlični so, ker imam ravno pravšnjo pigmentiranost, da se pozna na ustnicah, hkrati pa podarijo ustnicam čudovit lesk in navlaženost. Narejene so iz čebeljega voska, karitejevega masla ter vitamina E. Tako lahko rečete adijo razpokanim ustnicam. Povrh vsega mi je tudi embalaža všeč, minimalistična in klasična. Odlično, dragi Avon, podarim ti 5/5 točk!

Have you ever tried coloured lip balms? How did you like it?

                                                                          Love, M.

Versace Woman

Hello my dear readers! For today I prepared a fresh and new perfume review post. When it comes to perfumes I am extremely picky. Not all of "the best ones" really fit my style. Although I own a lot of them, there are quite a few that I love and didn't cost me more than 20 euros. This time I went on a hunt for one more feminine, powerful and specific scent on Salma.si, where you can find some very good bargains when it comes to fragrances and makeup. I picked a bottle of Versace Woman fragrance.

Did you know that Gianni Versace came from one of the poorest parts of Italy? Nevertheless he had travelled a lot and became very eccentric and charismatic person. Since his death his family has been keeping his passion alive.

Well, let's get to business. First of all, I feel for this luxurious bottle. On the top it has like a ring with little purple diamonds. When you first smell it, you can sense the jasmine pretty strongly, which I personally love. I own other fragrances with jasmine as well and they suit me good. Then the fragrance develops a scent hugged with raspberry and delicate lotus. At the end you can sense a bit of wood and amber that make quite a harmony with previous notes. The scent is very intense and lasts so long!

I love how powerful and strong this scent makes me feel. I wear it for work as well as in the evening. I spray it on my hair too, yes, I know. If you are a bit more sensitive when it comes to scents, maybe this perfume could be a bit too intense for you.

Anyway, if you are more like me and ready to become a strong, powerful woman, you can but this perfume here, for a 50ml bottle you will spend 32 euros, which is pretty cheap for the great product you will receive.


Have you found any great bargains this time? Do you think this fragrance could suit you?

                                                                        Love, M.
