I have been thinking about getting my blog a new home and a new look. It took a while (a whole month, to be exact), but finally, it’s here! I hope you like the way it looks – I think it’s prettier and much easier to navigate. On the top, you have different categories you can browse through and on the right, you can use search to look for specific things that might interest you. I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out although I still have a lot of work to do since all the old posts look a bit different and need a bit of TLC (and computer skills). Hopefully, I will get everything just the way it’s supposed to be in a couple of months.
Že kar nekaj časa sem želela svoj blog preseliti na njegov lasten naslov in mu podariti tudi nov videz. Trajalo je kar dolgo (cel mesec, da smo čisto natančni), ampak končno je tu! Upam, da ti je nov videz všeč – meni se zdi lepši in precej bolj pregleden. Na vrhu lahko najdeš različne kategorije zapisov, na desni pa z iskalnikom lahko poiščeš vse, kar bi te morda zanimalo. Čeprav bo s starimi objavami še kar nekaj dela, saj se jim je videz med prenosom kar precej spremenil, pa sem osebno zelo vesela, da smo že skoraj na cilju. Upam, da bo čez kakšen mesec vse izgledalo tako, kot želim.
While I was sorting through old content, I found an old tag post (almost two years old) that I enjoyed very much and wanted to do it again. I’m talking about the A-Z tag where you choose one favorite brand and one favorite product from that brand for the entire alphabet. I am missing H & I (since I apparently don’t have any favorites for those letters), but other than that – here they are!
Ko sem brskala po starih zapisih, sem našla tag, v katerem sem zelo uživala, zato sem ga želela ponoviti (do takratne objave je namreč že dve leti). Gre za A-Z tag, v katerem za vsako črko abecede izbereš eno najljubšo znamko in znotraj tiste znamke še najljubši izdelek. Priznam, da nisem našla nobenega res dobrega izdelka za črki H & I, ampak vse ostale favorite ti predstavljam tu.

Avon has many great products and it was hard to choose one, but I love the color of this Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Minty. It’s similar to Essie Mint Candy, but the formula is better and it stays on my nails for up to a week. Bell Hypoalergenic is a relatively new brand to me but I’m really enjoying the Mat Powder (natural effect) and I’m about to hit pan! It’s a fine tinted pressed powder which makes my skin look flawless but doesn’t cake up on the liquid foundation. Catrice is my favorite drugstore brand and I have a large collection, but the winners in my book are the Shine Appeal Fluid Lipsticks that are light, well pigmented and not sticky at all. The shades and the packaging are gorgeous as well. Dvorec Trebnik is one of the best Slovenian beauty brands in my opinion and I am really loving this Refreshing toner with hamamelis extract. It’s light, smells nice and really cleans off my skin well
Avon ima mnogo super izdelkov in težko sem izbrala enega, venar pa sem popolnoma zaljubljena v barvo Avon Nailwear Pro+ Minty. Spominja me na Essie Mint Candy, vendar pa je formula Avona po mojem mnenju boljša in se na mojih nohtih obdrži tudi po cel teden. Bell Hypoalergenic je znamka, ki jo šele spoznavam, vendar pa res uživam pri uporabi Mat Powder (natural effect). Gre za fin puder v kamnu, ki mojo kožo naredi čudovito, vendar pa ne ustvari videza maske, ko ga nanesem čez tekočo podlago. Catrice je moja najljubša znamka in moja kolekcija ni majhna, kot svoj najljubši izdelek pa sem izbrala Shine Appeal tekoče šminke, ki so lahke, dobro pigmentirane in niso lepljive. Prav tako mi je zelo všeč pakiranje in izbor barv. Dvorec Trebnik je ena najboljših slovenskih lepotnih znamk in Osvežujoči tonik z izvlečkom nepozebnika lepo diši, je lahek na koži in jo tudi dobro očisti.

I’m sure you know Essence brand quite well. They bring out a bunch of products each year but my favorite is from their regular line – the Essence Long Lasting Lip Liner (in the photo from top to bottom shades Plum Cake, Yummy Berry, Sweetheart and Ready for Red). These lip liners and incredibly precise and long lasting and are the best in my collection – even better from those that are ten times more expensive. I’ve talked a lot about Freedom Brush Bath before – it’s the only thing I use to clean my brushes and so effective that I manage to clean 50+ brushes in half an hour. The best thing is that this soap can tackle even the most resistant make-up, like dried up eyeliner. Golden Rose has only been in Slovenian market a short time, but it’s becoming more and more popular for a reason. From the packaging view, the brand is nothing special, but the quality is there. My favorite Golden Rose product is the Silky Touch Blush in shade 207.
Essence znamko gotovo dobro poznaš. Vsako leto na trg pripeljejo kup novosti, vendar pa sem za najljubši izdelek izbrala enega iz njegove redne zbirke, in sicer Essence Long Lasting Lip Liner (na fotografiji od zgoraj navzdol odtenki Plum Cake, Yummy Berry, Sweetheart in Ready for Red). Izredno natančna in dolgo obstojna črtala za ustnice so trenutno najboljša v moji zbirki in prekašajo tudi kakšne, ki so desetkrat dražja. Freedom Brush Bath je edina stvar, ki jo uporabljam za čiščenje čopičev in sem o njej že velikokrat pisala. Gre za trdo milo, ki za mojih 50+ čopičev skrajša čas čiščenja na dobre pol ure in res očisti še tako trdovratno umazanijo, recimo zasušen eyeliner. Golden Rose je na slovenskem trgu šele kratek čas, pa vseeno pridobiva vedno več zvestih uporabnic – z razlogom. Gre za ličila, ki sicer z vidika embalaže res niso kaj posebnega, vendar to še kako nadomestijo s kakovostjo. Moj najljubši Golden Rose izdelek je trenutno rdečilo Silky touch blush v odtenku 207.

We always seem to forget about personal hygiene products. I wanted to mention the Just wash for intimate care with wheat and chamomile. It’s the only product I use for my intimate parts and it has solved many of my issue from back in the days when I was using more invasive products. It’s probably no surprise to you to see Kat Von D Shade and Light palette in the mix – I hit pan on three shades in a year and it’s my go to contouring palette right now. Although it’s hard to come by and quite expensive, it’s definitely worth the money in my opinion. L’Occitane has been one of my favorite brands for a good decade and choosing the favorite product is next to impossible so I chose the one I’ve been loving the most recently – the Arlesienne perfume. It’s a flowery perfume which is normally not something I enjoy but this Arlesienne makes me feel strong and beautiful – which is what I’m looking for in a fragrance. Another brand I was hard pressed to choose from is Maybelline but the one product I couldn’t live without is the Fit Me Concealer (in photo shades 10 and 15). It’s the only under-eye concealer that doesn’t crease on me and I’m on my fourth and fifth bottle currently.
Blogerke le redko govorimo o osebni negi, zato sem resnično hotela omeniti Just gel za intimno nego z žiti in kamilico. Je edini izdelek, ki ga uporabljam za osebno nego in je rešil kar nekaj mojih težav iz časov, ko sem uporabljala bolj agresivne izdelke. Verjetno ni presenečenje, da v svoj izbor vključujem Kat Von D Shade&Light paletto. V enem letu sem do dna porabila tri od šestih odtenkov, kar priča o tem, da je to res moja najljubša paleta za konturo. Čeprav jo je težko dobiti in je kar draga, je definitivno vredna časa in truda. L’Occitane je že dobro desetletje ena mojih najljubših znamk in izbira naj izdelka je skoraj nemogoča, zato sem izbrala tistega, ki ga imam najraje v zadnjem času – Arlesienne parfum. Gre za parfum pretežno cvetličnih not, kakršni mi običajno niso preveč pri srcu, vendar pa se z Arlesienne počutim močno in lepo – to pa je tudi tisto, kar od parfuma želim. Še ena znamka, pri kateri sem težko izbrala, je Maybelline, ampak tisti izdelek, brez katerega ne bi mogla živeti, je Fit Me Concealer (na fotografiji odtenka 10 in 15). Je edini korektor, ki se mi pod očesom ne nabere v gubice, zato zdaj uporabljam že svojo četrto in peto stekleničko!

Nivea is probably a staple in every household. It’s not difficult to choose my favorite product since this is my third bottle of In-shower Body Milk smooth sensation. I find it hard to find the time for moisturizing, especially since I usually shower with my baby and need to hurry afterwards, so I take care of that during the shower. I can skip moisturizing for a week and Nivea makes sure my skin doesn’t suffer the consequences. Ombia Cosmetics hyaluron gel is a relatively new product in my routine but even after a month of use I can already tell that my skin feels more supple and is definitely more hydrated. I can’t wait for this to hit the shelves in Hofer again so I can stock up! Philip Kingsley is a brand I mention and recommend often when it comes to haircare. I love most of the products but the one I swear by is the Smoothing cream which does wonders for my frizzy hair. Rimmel is another brand we recently got in Slovenia but I’ve been a fan of the Match Perfection foundation long before that – this is actually my fourth bottle and I’m running out of it. It’s a medium coverage foundation with an incredible formula that blends into my skin almost like nothing is there. It’s definitely the best drugstore foundation for me.
Nivea je stalnica v vsakem gospodinjstvu. Z lahkoto izberem svoj naljubši izdelek, saj je to že moja tretja steklenica In-shower Body Milk Smooth sensation mleka za telo, ki se uporablja pod tušem. Težko najdem čas za vlaženje kože, še posebej kot se običajno tuširam z malim M-jem in moram pohiteti, zato vlaženje opravim kar pod tušem. Dejansko lahko vlaženje preskočim za cel teden, pa Nivea poskrbi, da moja koža ne čuti posledic. Ombia Cosmetics hialuronski gel je v moji rutini relativno nov izdelek, vendar že po mesecu uporabe vidim, da je moja koža bolj napeta in vsekakor bolj navlažena. Komaj čakam, da jo v Hoferju spet dobijo na police in se lahko založim! Philip Kingsley je znamka, ki jo pogosto priporočam za nego las. Všeč so mi praktično vsi izdelki, vendar pa prisegam na Smoothing cream, ki je neverjetna za krotenje mojih las, ki že na malo vlage postanejo puhasti. Rimmel smo v Sloveniji na police dobili šele nedavno, vendar pa sama na Match Perfection tekočo podlago prisegam že bistveno dlje – to je že moja četrta steklenička. Gre za tekočo podlago s srednjo prekrivnostjo in neverjetno formulo, ki se zlije z mojo kožo. Vsekakor je zame to najboljša drogerijska tekoča podlaga.

Sleek is a brand that often gets overlooked but deserves more attention. I love this Contouring and Blush Palette (Fair) for everyday simple make-up routine. The bronzer is nice and warm, but not to yellow toned, the highlighter gives a soft glow and the blush is an amazing peachy red. This is also my favorite travel palette. Too Faced has an amazing array of products but the one I will always return to is the Better than Sex mascara. It’s the only mascara I’m willing to spend this much money on, because it gives my lashes tons of volume and doesn’t clump them up, even with two coats or more. Urban Decay is my favorite brand for eyeshadow palettes and the Naked Ultimate Basics palette is an amazing matte palette full of earthy tones that is my go-to palette right now.
Sleek je znamka ki jo pogosto spregledam, pa si zasluži več pozornosti. Obožujem svojo Contouring and blush paleto (Fair), ki je odlična za vsakodnevno rutino. Bronzer je topel, vendar nima rumenega podtona, osvetljevalec polti res da nežen sijaj, rdečilo pa je v čudovitem breskovem odtenku z rdečim podtonom. To je tudi moja najljubša paleta za potovanja. Too Faced ponuja super nabor izdelkov, sama pa se vedno vračam k Better than Sex maskari, ki je edina, za katero sem pripravljena potrošiti toliko denarja, saj mojim trepalnicam doda ogromno volumna, hkrati pa ne postane grudasta. Urban Decay je moja najljubša znamka senčil za oči, Naked Ultimate Basics pa je paleta polna zemeljskih mat odtenkov in trenutno tudi moja najljubša.

Vichy is a brand that delivers every time. I have been wearing the Normaderm BB Clear unifying correcting cream every day throughout the summer and on days when I don’t leave the house at all. It gives my skin a reasonable amount of coverage to cover the major imperfection and smooths the skin. It also works well as a primer. Yves Rocher stores are always a challenge for me as I want to buy everything, but this was my first repurchase. The Derma-care treatment is a nice daily moisturizer that really gets into the skin and gives it the necessary moisturization. I also can’t get around the packaging which is not the most practical, but definitely super pretty. Last but not least is Zoya – a great brand of nail polishes. I would probably get every shade imaginable since I absolutely love the shades they come up with, but given the price, I’m sticking to a handful already in my collection and only add a few each year. My favorite is the grey-green glittery Yuna that I wear all the time in winter months.
Vichy je znamka, ki me nikoli ne razočara. Normaderm BB kremo za poenotenje sem uporabljala vsak dan med poletjem, uporabim pa jo tudi ob dneh, ko sem večinoma doma. Koži doda nekaj prekrivnosti, hkrati pa poenoti polt. Dobro deluje tudi kot primer. Obisk Yves Rocher trgovine je zame vedno nevaren, saj želim kupiti prav vse. Edini izdelek, ki sem ga kupila že drugič, je Derma-care treatment, dobra dnevna vlažilna krema, ki se lepo vpije v kožo. Prav tako mi je izredno všeč embalaža, ki morda ni najbolj praktična, ampak vsekakor čudovita. Zadnja znamka v izboru je Zoya – super znamka lakov za nohte. Verjetno bi si privoščila vsak odtenek, ki obstaja, vendar pa je cena kar visoka, zato jih vsako leto v svojo kolekcijo dodam le nekaj. Moj najljubši odtenek je sivo-zelena Yuma, ki sem jo redno nosila v zimskih mesecih.
That’s it for my A-Z tag and my first post on the new blog! I hope you enjoyed it. If you decide to do this tag, don’t forget to let me know – I’d love to read it! Until next time, stay beautiful!
To je bil moj A-Z tag in tudi prva objava na novem blogu – upam, da si v branju uživala. Če boš tag poustvarila, mi to vsekakor sporoči, saj ga bom z veseljem prebrala. Do naslednjič, ostani čudovita!
