Products I want to use up in 2017 ***** Izdelki, ki jih želim porabiti v letu 2017

I’ll admit that my make-up collection isn’t exactly tiny. And also, I don’t really like thinking about it as a collection. I have more make-up than the average woman so I can compare products when I review them, but I really don’t want to hoard my make-up to the point where I no longer have anywhere to put it. Consequently, I decided that for the first time I’ll try to use up some of the products in the upcoming year.

Priznam – moja zbirka ličil ni ravno majhna. In o njej nerada razmišljam kot o zbirki. Seveda imam več ličil kot povprečna ženska, predvsem zato, da jih lahko med seboj primerjam, ko jih ocenjujem, vendar pa si v resnici ne želim toliko ličil, da ne bi vedela, kam z njimi. Posledično sem se letos prvič odločila, da bom nekaj izdelkov namensko skušala porabiti do konca tekom leta 2017.


The first product is the Catrice Chocolate Nudes Palette – you can find the review and more photos *here*. The biggest issue I have with small palettes is there is always something missing – a light matte shade for under the browbone, a shimmery shade for the inner corner or a good neutral crease color. This palette has it all so I can use it alone, but I simply don’t remember about it often enough. Hopefully, I’ll be able to use up the whole thing since all the shades are lovely and well pigmented.

Prvi izdelek je Catrice Chocolate Nudes paletka – oceno in več slik lahko najdeš *tu*. Problem manjših paletk je, da jim vedno nekaj manjka – bodisi svetla mat senčka za pod obrvi, bodisi svetlikajoč odtenek za v kotiček očesa, bodisi dobra nevtralna barva za v pregib očesa. Ta paletka ima prav vse to, zato jo lahko uporabljam tudi samostojno, vendar se premalokrat spomnim nanjo. Upam, da mi jo bo uspelo porabiti v celoti, saj so prav vsi odtenki zelo lepi in dobro pigmentirani.

BLOGMAS #6: BEST OF 2016 – MAKEUP ***** NAJBOLJŠI IZDELKI LETA 2016 – LIČILA


The year is coming to an end and among other things, a post about my favorite make-up products in 2016 is an absolute necessity. I reviewed quite a few of these products during the year. Where such post already exists, I’m including a link so you can read about the product in detail.

Eden od letnih zaključkov, ki je vsekakor nujen, je takšna objava o mojih naljubših ličilih, s katerimi sem se srečala v letu 2016. Mnogo teh izdelkov sem tekom leta že ocenila – kjer takšna ocena obstaja, bom vedno dodala povezavo, da si lahko prebereš še moje podrobno mnenje.

I tried to choose one product in each category but had to leave some categories out (like bronzer) because I simply didn’t find a product that would amaze me in 2016. Since there are still a bunch of products I want to talk about, let’s get started!

V vsaki kategoriji sem poizkusila izbrati en izdelek, pri čemer pa sem morala nekaj kategorij izpustiti (na primer bronzer), ker enostavno letos nisem našla izdelka, ki bi me tako očaral, da bi ga danes želela deliti s tabo. Ker pa je ličil vseeno veliko, predlagam, da kar začneva.


Let’s start at the base. My favorite primer of the year is L’Oreal Infallible Mattifying base. It’s a silicone primer that was put on hold during the warm summer months, but in normal weather this primer creates a lovely base on my face, fills the pores and prepares the skin for the liquid foundation. In that category, I really enjoyed the Catrice HD Liquid Coverage which is a mattifying foundation. Dropper made sure that the application was simple and besides being mattifying, this foundation also excelled in coverage. I also have to mention the Cover FX Custom Cover Drops (review *here*) that truly amazed me this year. I mixed them with primer, day cream, BB creams and other liquid foundation. They always blended nicely and made my skin look nice and fresh. Last but not least I want to mention the Maybelline Affinitone concealer that is creamy and thick (more than I can say for most concealers I own) so I mainly use it to cover imperfections and not for highlighting under my eyes. It’s too heavy and creamy for that in my opinion.

Začniva pri osnovah. Moj najljubši primer leta je L’Oreal Infallible Mattifying base. Gre za silikonski primer, ki je v največji vročini sicer počival v predalu, vendar pa mi v normalnih temperaturah ustvari lepo podlago na koži, zapolni pore in kožo s tem pripravi na tekočo podlago. Med temi sem letos uživala predvsem v uporabi Catrice HD Liquid Coverage, ki je mat tekoča podlaga. Kapalka poskrbi za enostaven nanos, poleg matiranja pa se ta podlaga lahko pohvali tudi z dobro prekrivnostjo. Poleg te podlage dodajam še Cover FX Custom Cover Drops (ocena *tu*), kapljice, ki so me letos poleti resnično navdušile. Dodajala sem jih primerjem, dnevni kremi, BB kremam in drugim tekočim podlagam, s katerimi so se odlično zmešale in ustvarile lep, svež videz moje kože. Nenazadnje je tu še Maybelline Affinitone korektor, ki je bolj kremast in gost, kot je to značilno za večino korektorjev v moji last, zato ga uporabljam predvsem za prekrivanje nepravilnosti na koži, ne pa toliko za osvetlitev predela pod očmi, saj je za to po mojem mnenju pretežak in pregost.

Blogmas #4: BEST GIFTS UNDER 10€ ***** NAJBOLJŠA DARILA DO 10€


Welcome to the last post in the series of gift guides. This time, let me introduce you some gifts that are fun and useful and won’t leave your wallet completely dry. I always have some gifts like these in my care if I run into people I want to gift during the holiday season, but they are also great for those who participate in Secret Santa games.

Pozdravljena v še zadnji od treh objav z idejami za darila. Tokrat ti predstavljam darilca, ki so zabavna in uporabna, pa ne bodo popolnoma izsušila tvoje denarnice. Sama imam vedno nekaj takih darilc v avtu, če v prazničnih dneh naključno srečam koga, ki ga želim obdarovati, dobra pa so tudi za kakšne skrivnostne božičke!


First gift that would be perfect for me is a set of “clothes” for keys. My key for the front door is identical to the one of my parent’s house and I never know which is the right one! Besides that, I find these monkeys adorable, don’t you? They can be bought at Flat online store (5,95 € for the set).

Prvo darilo, ki bi bilo sploh zame zelo uporabno, je set “oblačilc” za ključe. Moj ključ za vhodna vrata in ključ vhodnih vrat pri mojih starših sta namreč popolnoma enaka in nikoli ne vem, kateri je pravi! Poleg tega so tele male opice izredno simpatične, mar ne? Opice so iz trgovine Flat, dobiš pa jih tudi v njihovi spletni trgovini (5,95 € za set).

 

 
Next gift is a must-have for every handbag. This cute little sheep acts as a holder for the earphones. Mine travel with me at the bottom of my purse and always get wrapped around the wallet, pens, papers, lipsticks and other clutter in my purse, which often damages them.  Sheep is also from Flat store (8,50€).

Naslednje darilce, ki je verjetno nepogrešljivo v vsaki ženski torbici, je tale simpatična ovčka, na katero se navijejo slušalke. Moje slušalke z menoj potujejo na dnu torbice in se vedno ovijejo okrog denarnice, svinčnikov, računov, šmink in podobnega navlake v torbici, poleg tega pa se pogosto poškodujejo. Ovčka je iz trgovine Flat (8,50€).

Freedom Pro Lipstick Kit: Vamp Collection (review and swatches)


Whenever autumn rolls around I realize that I don’t have any dark lipsticks in my collection and then search the web in the quest for that perfect autumnal lipstick. This year, I won’t need to do that, though, since I received the Freedom Pro Lipstick Kit  – Vamp collection at the Beautiful Bloggers conference by none other than Licila.si.

Vsako jesen ugotovim, da v svoji kolekciji nimam nobene temne šminke in potem prebrskam ves splet v iskanju tiste ene popolne jesenske šminke. Letos mi na srečo tega ne bo treba početi, saj sem od Licila.si na Beautiful Bloggers konferenci prejela Freedom Pro Lipstick kit – Vamp collection.

 


 

In the set, there are 5 full size lipsticks in various shades. There are many of these sets, so I suggest you look in the online store (link is below) for various options – there are nudes, pinks, retro mattes – something for everyone.

Set vključuje 5 šmink različnih barv v celotni velikosti. Teh setov je kar nekaj, zato ti predlagam, da kar v spletni trgovinici (povezavo najdeš spodaj) preveriš različne opcije – nude šminke, roza šminke, retro mat šminke – torej nekaj za vsakogar. 

My monthly make-up basket – July 2016

Originally, I was planning on doing two make-up baskets per month, but let’s face it, even I don’t have that much make-up to constantly swap items, so I am afraid that it would become rather boring. Instead, I’ll be doing this once a month and doing some additional reviews on the Monday I now have free to post whatever I like 🙂

So here are some of the products that I’ll be using and hopefully loving for the next few weeks.

Starting with the face, I’ll still be using the L’Oreal Infallible primer, but I actually bought the foundation to go along with it – the L’Oreal Infallible 24h-matte (in shade Sand). I hear that the combination works well together so I’m excited to give it a go. The shade of foundation is perhaps a tad too dark at the moment, but as I’m typing this from my seaside vacation, I’m sure that will probably change in a couple of days or so.

I’m going to give another go with the Freedom Pro Conceal and Correct palette. While the shade selection in this palette is really great, I find that the concealers are quite hard to blend and tend to crease on me. Perhaps a good primer will make a difference.

I’ll also be reaching for my Essence lights of the orient bronzer that has a hint of highlight in the middle. I fear this will be a bit too orange for me but we’ll see. To be on the safe side, I also brought my beloved Sleek palette (Fair) that includes a nice bronzer, a lovely coral blush and a decent highlighter.

I’ll also be trying out some new Ardeco goodies – a strobing fluid and contouring powders (lighter 12 – vanilla chocolate and darker 21 – dark chocolate). View Post
