It’s been a while since the last Catrice limited edition collection hit the shelves so I wasn’t too surprised when I opened my mailbox and realized that a new one is one the way. Catrice kindly provided me with an eyeshadow palette from the new ProvoCATRICE line which will be available until July. If you haven’t decided on the purchase yet, you can find my opinion about the lovely ProvoCATRICE Une Touche (touch) 5-pan palette down below.
Od zadnje limited edition kolekcije Catrice je minilo že kar nekaj časa, zato priznam, da nisem bila preveč presenečena, ko me je v nabiralniku pričakal paketek s paleto senčil iz nove linije ProvoCATRICE. Linija na police drogerij Tuš, v E.Leclerc MB, drogerije Ilirija in v spletno trgovino Click2Chic prihaja s 17.5. (in bo na voljo do julija), v kolikor pa se še nisi opogumila za nakup, pa si lahko v nadaljevanju prebereš moje mnenje o novi lepotički v moji zbirki – paleti petih senčil ProvoCATRICE Une Touche (dotik).
The entire line was inspired by the visual elements of lingerie and street fashion combos that are so popular on the streets these days. Besides the palette (5,29€), the ProvoCATRICE Line also includes five different rainbow nail polishes (3,29), two ombre blushes (4,29€), scented transparent powder (5,29), volumizing lash dust (4,29€) and two cushion matte lipsticks (5,29€). Personally, I’m most excited about the blushes and the polishes. I will be adding the latter to my collection of “not work appropriate but super cool for vacation and weekend gatherings with friends” collection.
Celotna linija navdih črpa iz vizualnih elementov kombinacije perila in ulične mode. Poleg spodaj predstavljene palete (5,29€) v njej lahko najdeš tudi pet mavričnih odtenkov lakov (3,29€), dvoje ombre rdečil za lička (4,29€), odišavljen transparentni puder (5,29€), prah za volumen trepalnic (4,29€) ter dve cushion mat šminki (5,29€). Osebno se najbolj navdušujem nad rdečili in laki, s katerimi bom verjetno še nekoliko obogatila svojo zbirko tistih lakov, ki morda niso najbolj primerni za v službo, jih bom pa še z večjim veseljem nosila med dopustom in vikend druženji s prijateljicami.
Une Touche palette is basically what could be the perfect palette. Small enough to fit in any purse and sturdy enough to withstand even the most exciting of travels. In general, I’d say that Catrice limited edition packagings are always of high quality and some of the best in my collection. I can tell that the palette was carefully curated. It contains two matte shadows (gray and light pink) great for the crease, two shimmery shadows for the lid and inside corner and a dark brown which is absolutely necessary for an evening look.
Paleta Une Touche je v osnovi popolna paleta. Dovolj majhna, da sodi v vsako torbico, dovolj trdna, da bi zdržala tudi kakšno bolj razburljivo potovanje. Na splošno so embalaže limited edition Catrice linij ene bolj trpežnih v moji zbirki. Pet odtenkov je bilo izbranih zelo premišljeno. Dva mat odtenka (siv in nežno roza) sta odlična za v pregib veke, z dvema svetlikajočima odtenkoma se poudari notranjost očesa in očesne kotičke, temno rjava barva pa je seveda nepogrešljiva za kakšen bolj večerni videz, ko rahlo zadimimo zunanje kotičke.
Trying out the palette for the first time, I wasn’t too impressed with the pigmentation. But what I’ve learned from previous experience with Catrice shadows is that they work completely different when applied onto a base – a neutral cream shadow (like the MAC Painterly Pot) or a neutral primer (in this case, I used the E.L.F. Eyelid Primer). As you can see from the photo above, there really is a big difference in pigmentation with (W/P) or without primer.
Ko sem paleto preizkusila prvič, sem bila kar malce razočarana nad pigmentacijo, vendar pa iz preteklih izkušenj s Catrice senčili vem, da se popolnoma drugače obnesejo, v kolikor jih nanesem na bazo – bodisi nevtralno kremno senčilo (npr. MAC Painterly Pot) ali nevtralen primer (v tem primeru sem uporabila E.L.F. Eyelid Primer). Kot lahko vidiš iz zgornje fotografije, je razlika med pigmentacijo brez ali z primerjem (W/P) res izrazita.
If you’re looking for a softly pigmented palette for everyday make-up or if you’re not bothered by primer application each morning, this certainly is a great palette. I’m very undemanding in my everyday make-up routine and this palette is great to give just the tiniest hint of color to my eyelids. It stays in place for ten hours from morning to mid-afternoon. It’s certainly not a revolutionarry palette, but I like the concept of a small and inexpensive palette that I’ll definitely be coming with me on work related travels.
V kolikor iščeš nežno pigmentirano paleto za vsakdanji make-up ali pa si ena tistih, ki ti ni težko vsako jutro nanesti primerja na veke, je to vsekakor čudovita paletka. Sama sem glede ličenja za vsakdan precej nezahtevna in ta paleta je ravno pravšnja, da na veke nanesem čisto malo barve, ki lepo zdrži potrebnih deset ur od jutra do popoldneva. Ne gre torej za kakršno koli revolucijo v senčilih, ampak za majhno, simpatično in cenovno dostopno paleto, ki bo vsekakor z mano odšla tudi na kakšno službeno pot.
