The Body Shop: Mandljeva krema in milo za roke

Ta dva izdelka sem dobila v darilnem setu. Prvi del darilnega paketa sem že opisala tukaj. Drugi del, torej kremo in milo za roke, pa bom sedaj.

I got these two products in a gift set. I reviewed the first part of the gift set here. The second part, the hand wash and the cream, I will review now.

Kremo za roke sem že uporabljala in že od nekdaj mi je všeč. Najprej naj omenim embalažo. Krema je v aluminijasti tubi, ki se zelo rada zmečka in meni ni najbolj všeč, ampak je praktična in uporabna saj, ko je kreme vedno manj, lahko tubo zvijemo.

I already used the hand cream and I always liked it. First let me mention the packaging. The cream is in a aluminum tube that likes to crumple and I don’t like that, but it is practical and useful, because when there’s less and less cream, we can roll up the tube.

Sama krema je bele barve, zelo dobro mazljiva, ravno prav gosta. Krema diši kot celotna mandljeva linija, po sladkih mandljih oziroma marcipanu. Krema se hitro vpije, ne pušča mastnega občutka, samo nežne roke. Vonj na rokah se obdrži kar nekaj časa, dobri dve uri ali več (odvisno kako pogosto umivate roke). Krema mi roke navlaži in nahrani, občutek na koži je super, kar je glede na to, da je olje sladkega mandlja že na četrtem mestu (čeprav bi lahko bilo tudi višje), tudi pričakovano. Kreme se porabi malo, tako da bo ena tuba dolgo zdržala. Kremo priporočam, še posebej, če vam je všeč vonj po marcipanu. Cena kreme je 8€.

The cream itself is white, very well spreadable, with just the right thickness. The cream smells like the whole almond line, like sweet almonds or marzipan. The cream absorbs quickly, it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, just soft hands. The smell stays on the skin quite some time, about two hours or more (depending how often you wash your hands). It moisturizes and nourishes my hands, the feeling on the skin is great, which is expected, given the fact that the sweet almond oil is in fourth place (although it could be higher) in ingredients. One tube will last you a long time, because you don’t need a lot. I do recommend the cream, especially if you like the smell of marzipan. It costs 8€.

The Body Shop trdi, da milo za roke v bistvu ne vsebuje mila. Milo je v plastični embalaži s pumpico. En pritisk na pumpico je dovolj da dobro umijemo roke. Milo se dobro speni, dobro umije in se enostavno spere. Na koži na pušča filma. Diši kot celotna linija, torej po sladkih mandljih oziroma po marcipanu. Milo bi naj kožo na rokah navlažilo, kar težko potrdim ali zanikam, edino kar lahko izpostavim je, da mi kože definitivno ne izsuši, kar je velik plus. Vonj se na rokah obdrži dobre pol ure. Cena mila je 7€.

The Body Shop states that the hand wash is soap-free. The wash is in a plastic packaging with a pump. One pump is enough to wash the hands well. The hand wash foams well, cleans good and washes off easily. It doesn’t leave a film on the skin. It smells like the whole line, like sweet almonds or marzipan. The wash is supposed to moisturize the hands, which I can’t confirm or deny, the only thing I can point out is that is definitely doesn’t dry out my skin, which is a big plus. The scent stays on the hands half an hour. The price for the wash is 7€.

Če zaključim, lahko povem, da je krema za roke res super. Milo ni slabo a ga verjetno ne bi več kupila, saj rada vedno preizkušam nova. Pilica in olje za nohte pa mi nista všeč in ju tudi ne bi več kupila. Ste preizkusile katerega izmed ocenjenih izdelkov. So vam bili všeč? Pustite mi komentar spodaj.

To conclude, I can say that the hand cream is really great. The hand wash is not bad but I probably wouldn’t buy it anymore, because I like to try out new things. The file and the nail oil I didn’t like and I wouldn’t buy them again. Did you try any of the reviewed products? Did you like them? Leave me a comment below.

The Balm: The Manizer Sisters

Osvetljevanje obraza je na vrhuncu popularnosti. Sama se osvetljevanja obraza poslužujem že nekaj časa, ampak trenutno sem v fazi, ko najprej pogledam kakšen osvetljevalec kdo ima. 😉 Na listi želja sem dolgo imela The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer osvetljevalec, ki je prodajni hit pri tej znamki. Ko pa sem zagledala ta trio, sem vedela da bo moj. 🙂

Highlighting the face is at the peak of its popularity. I have been highlighting my face for quite some time now, but now I’m in the phase that the first thing I do, is look which highlighter someone has. 🙂 I had Mary-Lou Manizer from The Balm, the top selling item from the brand, on my wish list for a while now. So when I saw this trio, I knew it would be mine. 🙂

The Balm ima že leta v prodaji tri sestre Manizer in sicer Mary-Lou, Cindy-Lou in Betty-Lou Manizer, ki so lani stopile skupaj v paleto. Če kupite en osvetljevalec dobite 8,5g produkta, tukaj dobite 3g vsakega produkta, kar tudi ni malo.

The Balm has sold the three Manizer sisters for years, namely Mary-Lou, Cindy-Lou and Betty-Lou Manizer, that came together in a palette last year. If you buy one highlighter by itself, you get 8,5g of product, here you get 3g of each, which is quite enough.

Meni je paleta super všeč. Že sam izgled palete je unikaten, zanimiv, lep. Paleta je kartonasta, zelo dobro narejena, pokrov je na magnet, tako da se dobro zapre. Notri je majhno ogledalo, ki je dovolj veliko za popravke čez dan. Paleta pride v kartonastem rokavu, katerega lahko zvržete, saj je podoba na rokavu enaka podobi na paleti.

I like this palette a lot. The palette itself is unique, exciting, beautiful. The palette is made of cardboard, very well made, it has a magnet lid, so it closes nicely. Inside is a small mirror, which is big enough for touch-ups during the day. The palette comes in a cardboard sleeve, that you can throw away, because the image on the sleeve is the same as the one on the palette.

Gremo kar na sam produkt. Naj pripomnim, da lahko osvetljevalce uporabite tudi kot senčila. Vsi trije osvetljevalci so izredno kremasti, ravno prav mehki, niso pudrasti, produkt se zelo lepo nanaša. Prav tako se z lahkoto razmažejo, zblendajo, in so dolgo obstojni.

Let’s go to the product. I have to state that you can use the highlighters as eyeshadows as well. All three highlighters are extremely creamy, soft enough, not powdery, the product applies very nicely. They also blend really easy and are long-wearing.

Mary-Lou je bež osvetljevalec z zlatim sijajem. Predstavljajte si barvo šampanjca. Tega tudi največ uporabljam, ko želim, da je le-ta bolj izrazit. Uporabljam ga za osvetlitev v notranjem kotičku očesa, kot tudi po celem obrazu, saj je enostavno čudovit. Cindy-Lou je v barvi breskve z rožnatim podtonom in rožnatim sijajem. Ta ima med sestrami tudi najbolj nežen sijaj. Jaz ga uporabljam čez rdečilo, da mu dam piko na i. 😉 Betty-Lou je rjave barve, s toplimi podtoni in zlatim sijajem. Tega bomo dame, s svetlo poltjo, težko uporabile kot osvetljevalec, zato ga jaz uporabim kot rdečilo oziroma čez bronzer. Poleti, ko bom bolj zagorela bom uporabljala samo to na licih.

Mary-Lou is a beige highlighter with a golden sheen. Imagine the color of champagne. I use this one the most, when I want it to be more explicit. I use it to lighten my inner eye corner and the whole face, because it’s just gorgeous.  Cindy-Lou is peachy-pink with a pink sheen. This one has the softest shine between the sisters. I use it over the blush, to top it off. 😉 Betty-Lou is brown with warm undertones and a golden sheen. Fair skin ladies won’t be able to use this as a highlighter, so I use it as a blush or over a bronzer. In the summer, when I’m more tanned, I will use it on the cheeks.

Manizer sestre so res odličen produkt primeren za vsakogar. Jaz sem paleto kupila na Cloud10Beauty strani in zanjo odštela 28€. Ali ste že poskusile katero od Manizer sester? Kako se vam zdi produkt? Pustite mi komentar spodaj. 😉

The Manizer sisters are really a great product suitable for anyone. I bought this palette on Cloud10Beauty and paid 28€ for it. Did you try any of the Manizer sisters? Did you like the product? Leave me a comment below. 😉

Max Factor: Pan Stik

Tale puder v stiku sem uporabljala že v srednji šoli. Ker nisem imela nikoli večjih težav z aknami sem puder nanesla kvečjemu pod očmi in okoli nosu. Ker se je barva pudra zlila z mojo kožo, sem to tudi brez težav naredila. Ne spomnim se kdaj sem ga nehala uporabljati, ampak mislim, da je minilo najmanj 10 let odkar sem ga nazadnje uporabila. Sedaj ko so pudri v stiku vedno bolj popularni, sem se odločila, da ga bom ponovno preizkusila.

I used this stick foundation in high school. Since I never had major problems with acne I applied the foundation under my eyes and around the nose only. I did that without a problem, because the color of the foundation blended with my skin. I don’t remember when I stopped using it, but I think that it has been at least 10 years since I last used it. Now that stick foundations are more and more popular I decided to try it again.

Kot sem že omenila, je puder v stiku, z embalažo na navoj, ki dobro dela. Puder nanesem direktno na kožo in ga ponavadi razmažem s čopičem, saj je tako prekrivnost boljša. Puder je izredno kremast, tako da se enostavno razmaže. Je dobro srednje prekriven, s ponovnim nanosom na določena mesta, ki to potrebujejo, lahko prekrivnost povečam. Jaz ga imam v odtenku 12 – true beige.

The foundation is in a stick form, as I already mentioned, with a twist up packaging, that works fine. I apply the foundation directly to the skin and I usually blend it out with a brush, because the coverage is better that way. The foundation is extremely creamy so it blends easily. It has a good medium coverage which I can build up in places where needed. I have it in the shade 12 – true beige.

Puder, tako kot vsakega drugega, fiksiram s pudrom v prahu. Ker je tako kremast, se mi koža precej hitro zmasti. Po eni uri se že svetim okoli nosu in po čelu. Za dame, ki imate mastno kožo bo to še večji problem, tako da ga odsvetujem, za tiste s suho kožo pa bo odličen. Puder je obstojen v primeru, da se obraza ne dotikate (kar se jaz ne), drugače se prenaša, tako na oblačila, kot tudi na roko, prste, ob dotiku.

As any other, I also set this foundation with a loose powder. Because it’s so creamy, my skin gets oily really quickly. After an hour I can see an oily shine around my nose and forehead. This will be an even bigger problem for the ladies with oily skin, so I don’t recommend it, but for the ones with dry skin, this will be great. The foundation will last quite long if you don’t touch your face (which I don’t), but otherwise it does transfer to clothes, hands, fingers, upon touch.

Jaz sem ga kupila v Mullerju in zanj odštela okoli 12€. Jaz ga sedaj uporabljam, ko grem, na primer, v trgovino in ga nanesem s prsti samo pod očmi, okoli nosu in na bradi. To mi vzame minuto in že sem pripravljena na odhod. Če se ličim za cel dan, potem uporabim kaj bolj obstojnega in nekaj kar mi ne zmasti kože tako hitro.

I bought it in Muller and paid around 12€ for it. I use it when I go, for example, to the store and apply it under my eyes, around my nose and on my chin only. This takes a minute and I’m out the door. If I apply make-up for the whole day then I use something more long-wearing and something that doesn’t make my skin oily that fast.

Moj vsakodnevni make-up

Od samega začetka sem imela plan, da se bom naličila, poslikala in objavila kaj sem uporabila za določen izgled. Največ težav so mi delale fotografije, saj nikoli nisem uspela dobro poslikati oči, da bi se barve lepo videle. Tokrat sem vsaj delno uspela in zato sem se tudi odločila, da bom ta vsakodnevni “look” tudi objavila. Obljubim, da se bom v bodoče potrudila, da bodo slike še boljše. 😉 Pa začnimo.

From the very beginning I had a plan, to put on make-up, take a picture and post what I used to achieve that look. The biggest problem were the photographs, because I could never photograph the eyes good enough, to show all the colors. This time I was at least partially successful so I decided to post this everyday make-up look. I promise I will try to make even better pictures in the future. 🙂 Let’s start.

Na obraz sem najprej nanesla H&M bazo za mat kožo, ki sem jo prvič poskusila, tako da ocena še sledi. Bazo sem nanesla na čelo, okoli nosu in na brado oziroma na T-predel, saj se mi tam tudi najhitreje zmasti. Potem sem nanesla tekoči puder in sicer Bourjois Healthy Mix v odtenku Vanilla 52. Sledil je korektor, H&M concealer v odtenku Ivory, ki sem ga nanesla pod očmi, na brado, okoli nosu in malenkost na sredino čela. Korektor sem fiksirala z Maybelline Dream Matte pudrom v kamnu, katerega mi je skoraj že zmanjkalo. 🙂 Preostanek obraza sem fiksirala z Maybelline Shine Free Loose pudrom, ki se je tudi znašel na lestvici najljubših izdelkov v letu 2015 (seznam najdete tukaj).

First I applied the H&M mattifying primer on my face and this is the first time I used it so the review is yet to come. I applied the primer on my forehead, around my nose and on my chin, on the T-zone, because I get greasy the fastest there. Then I applied my foundation, the Bourjois Healthy Mix in the shade Vanilla 52. Next was the H&M concealer in the shade Ivory, which I applied under my eyes, on my chin, around my nose and a bit on the center of my forehead. I set the concealer with the Maybelline Dream Matte powder, that I’m almost out of. 🙂 I set the rest of my face with the Maybelline Shine Free Loose powder, that’s also in my top favorite products in 2015 (you can find the list here).

Potem sem začela z očmi. Najprej sem nanesla bazo, Essence I heart stage eyeshadow base, katero sem razmazala po celi veki. Za tale nežni izgled sem uporabila Zoevino Warm Spectrum paleto, ocena katere še sledi. Z rdečimi krogi so označena senčila, katera sem uporabila, številke pa označujejo vrstni red, kako sem jih nanašala.

Then I started with my eyes. First I applied the base, Essence I heart stage eyeshadow base, which I smudged all over the lid. I used the Zoeva Warm Spectrum palette for this soft look, review of which is yet to come. The red circles mark the eyeshadows that I used, the numbers indicate the order of how I applied them.

Čez bazo sem nanesla prvo senčilo po celi veki, da sem veko pripravila na nanos barvnih senčil. Najprej sem kot prehodno barvo uporabila drugo senčilo, ki sem ga nanesla nad in v gubo veke. Barvo sem nanesla parkrat, da sem jo lepo razmazala vse od zunanjega do notranjega kotička očesa. Potem sem vzela oranžno senčilo, tretje po vrsti, in ga nanesla samo v gubo veke. To sem ponavljala, dokler mi intenzivnost in izgled nista bila všeč. Nato je sledilo četrto senčilo, ki sem ga nanesla čez veko, od trepalnic do pregiba. Ker se mi ni zdelo dovolj pigmentirano, sem se odločila čopič navlažiti in tako nanesti senčilo na veko. Na koncu sem vzela še enkrat širši čopič s katerim sem nanesla prehodno barvo in brez senčila šla čez gubo veke in višje, da sem barve med seboj lepo povezala. Na koncu sem pod obrvmi nanesla še svetlo mat, peto, senčilo. V notranjih kotičkih očes sem nanesla še svetlo senčilo s sijajem. Na spodnji veki sem takoj pod trepalnicami nanesla čokoladno rjavo, sedmo, senčilo in ga skupaj z osmim senčilom razmazala do želene intenzitete. Nato je sledila maskara, uredila sem obrvi in oči so bile končane.

I applied the first eyeshadow over the base, over the whole lid, and this way I prepared my eyelid for the application of colorful eyeshadows. I applied the second eyeshadow as the transition color, above the crease and in the crease. I applied the color a few times, until it was evenly blended from the outer to the inner corner of the eye. Then I took the orange eyeshadow, third in a row, and applied it only to my crease. I repeated this step until I was happy with the intensity and the appearance. The fourth eyeshadow was the next step, which I applied on my lid, from the lash line to the crease. Since it did not seem pigmented enough I decided to wet my brush and apply the eyeshadow that way. Finally I took my blending brush that was used to apply my transition shade and I blended the colors in the crease and higher again, without any additional eyeshadow. In the end I applied the light matte, fifth, eyeshadow, under my eyebrows. In the inner corners of my eyes I decided to apply the light eyeshadow with the shimmer. On my lower lid, just below the eyelashes, I applied the chocolate brown, seventh, eyeshadow and smudged it with the eight eyeshadow to the desired intensity. I applied mascara, did my eyebrows and the eyes were finished.

Na koncu sem se spet vrnila na obraz, kamor sem nanesla bronzer, Too Faced Sun Bunny bronzer, s katerim sem obraz rahlo konturirala. Za rdečilo sem uporabila Spectrum Coral paleto od Zoeve, kjer sem uporabila najsvetlejšo barvo. Za konec pa sem še nanesla osvetljevalec in sicer The Balm Cindy-Lou Manizer, katerega sem nanesla na vrh ličnic. Na ustnice sem nanesla Bobbi Brown lip gloss, Pink beige 21, in to je bilo to.

In the end I returned to my face again, where I applied some bronzer, Too Faced Sun Bunny bronzer, that I used to slightly contour my face. For the blush I used the Spectrum Coral palette from Zoeva, where I used the lightest color. Finally I applied the highlighter, The Balm Cindy-Lou Manizer, which I applied on the top of my cheeks. I used Bobby Brown lip gloss, Pink beige 21, and that was it.

Če nimate Zoeva Warm Spectrum palete potem ne skrbite, saj so katera koli senčila v podobnih barvah enako dobra. Uporabite izdelke, ki jih imate, in verjamem da vam bo uspelo ustvariti lep, vsakodnevni izgled. Če vam je ta objava všeč in si želite še več takšnih mi pustite komentar spodaj ali objavo všečkajte.

If you don’t have the Zoeva Warm Spectrum palette, don’t worry, any other eyeshadows in similar colors will be good as well. Use the products that you have and I believe that you will be able to create a nice, everyday, look. If you liked this post and you wish to see more of such, please leave me a comment or like the post.

Essence: Shape your face contouring palette

Tale paleta za konturing je izgledala privlačno v trgovini in ker me je Essence že parkrat pozitivno presenetil in nimam še take palete, sem se odločila, da jo bom poskusila. Na voljo sta v dveh različicah, jaz sem vzela 10 ready, set, peach!, ki je bolj topla različica.

This contouring palette looked really attractive in the store and because Essence did positively surprise me a couple of times and I don’t have a palette like this, I decided to try it out. You can get it in two versions and I took 10 ready, set, peach!, which is the warmer version.

Light box

Paleta je v prozorni plastični embalaži, kot večina njihovih izdelkov. Nič posebnega, ampak opravi svoje delo. Najprej imamo mat bronzer, potem je na vrsti mat osvetljevalec in na koncu rdečilo, ki ima drobne bleščice. Najbolj me je zmotilo to, da v Mullerju niso imeli testerja, tako da barv nisem mogla preizkusiti tam, ampak sem jih komaj doma. Bronzer je zelo trd. Barva se s težavo prenese na prst, s čopičem gre malo lažje. Bronzer je malenkost bolj topel, kot bi bilo primerno za senčenje obraza, ampak meni to odgovarja. Z bronzerjem grem čez določeno mesto večkrat, saj ni zelo pigmentiran. Sam odtenek na meni izgleda dobro. V primeru, da ste začetnica in vas je strah, da ne bi preveč nanesle, potem je ta bronzer pravi za vas. 🙂

The palette is in a transparent plastic packaging, like the majority of their products. Nothing special, it does the job. First, we have a matte bronzer, then comes the matte highlighter and in the end, the blush with shimmer. What bothered me the most, was that Muller didn’t have any testers to swatch the colors, so I did that when I got home. The bronzer is very hard. It’s hard to pick up the color with the finger, it’s a bit easier with the brush. The bronzer is slightly warmer then it would be appropriate for contouring, but I like it. I go over one spot a few times with the bronzer, because it’s not that pigmented. The shade itself looks good on me. In case you are a beginner and you are afraid that you will apply too much, then this bronzer is the one for you. 🙂

Naravna svetloba / Natural light

Osvetljevalec mi sploh ni všeč, ker je mat. Sama imam rada če ima osvetljevalec sijaj. Prav tako je bolj mehak kot bronzer a hkrati zelo pudrast. Sama sem ga uporabljala za fiksiranje korektorja pod očmi, ampak niti za to se ni obnesel. Sama barva je dovolj svetla, da lepo osvetli predel pod očmi, ampak ne glede na to, kateri korektor sem uporabila, v roku pol ure, je bil ta v majhnih gubicah. To se mi nikoli ne dogaja z MAC-ovim Pro Longwear korektorjem, ki je pri meni številka ena. Zdaj pa se je. Zato sem osvetljevalec tudi nehala uporabljati.

I don’t like the highlighter at all, because it’s matte. I myself like highlighters with a sheen. Also it’s a lot softer then the bronzer but at the same time very powdery. I used it to set my concealer under my eyes, but it didn’t work for that either. The color itself is light enough, so it lightens the under eye area, but no matter which concealer I used, within half an hour, it creased and set in my fine lines. This never happens with my MAC Pro Longwear concealer, which is my number one. This time it did. That’s also why I stopped using the highlighter.

Naravna svetloba / Natural light

Rdečilo je v barvi breskve z drobnimi zlatimi bleščicami in čeprav mi je všeč in tudi sama tekstura je najboljša od vseh, pa ga skoraj nikoli ne uporabim, saj že po sami paleti redko posegam. Rdečilo se lepo nanaša, bleščice dajo lep zlat sijaj in niso preveč opazne na obazu, saj so res zelo drobne. Tudi pigmentirano je dovolj, da z enim nanosom dobimo pravo količino produkta na licih. Mogoče sem trenutno še preveč bleda za ta odtenek in bom več posegala po njemu poleti, ko bom malo bolj zagorela.

The blush is a peach color with gold shimmer and although I like it and the texture is the best of all, I rarely use it, because I don’t reach for the palette itself. The blush applies nicely, the shimmer gives a nice golden sheen and it’s not that visible on the face, because it’s really fine. One coat is enough to get the right amount of product on the cheeks, because the pigmentation is good. Maybe I’m currently too pale for this shade and I’ll use it more in the summer, when I get a tan.

Light Box z bliskavico / Light box with flash

Če pogledam na produkt kot celoto, potem moram priznati, da me ni navdušil. Ni zelo slab, kot tudi ne zelo dober. Za začetnice bi bronzer bil dober, saj ga lahko naknadno poglobimo. Osvetljevalec je v mojih očeh neuporaben, rdečilo pa je po kvaliteti zelo dobro. Paleto sem kupila v Mullerju in zanjo odštela okrog 4,50€. Sama je ne bi več kupila, saj imam veliko produktov, ki so boljši.

If I look at the product as a whole, then I have to admit that it didn’t impress me. It’s not very bad as it’s not very good. The bronzer would be good for beginners, because we can deepen it. The highlighter is in my eyes useless, the blush is very good. I bought the palette in Muller and paid around 4,50€. I wouldn’t repurchase, because I have a lot of products that are better.

Lush: Frozen

V redu, priznam, da nisem preverila sestavin oziroma kako bi naj dišala tale krogla, ampak sem jo kupila, ker je še nisem preizkusila. In mogoče to ni bila najboljša ideja. Torej kopalna bombica je svetlo modre barve, na sredini je temno modra plast. Glavne note bi naj bile grenivka in tunizijski neroli. In čeprav mi grenivka zelo lepo, sveže, poživljajoče diši, mi tale krogla na noben način ni dišala po grenivki.

OK, I admit I didn’t check the ingredients or how this bath bomb is supposed to smell, but I bought it because I haven’t tried it yet. And maybe that wasn’t the best idea. So this bath bomb is light blue with a dark blue layer in the middle. The main notes are supposed to be grapefruit and Tunisian neroli. And although grapefruit smells really nice, fresh, invigorating to me, this bomb didn’t smell in any way like grapefruit.

Torej sam vonj je izjemno blag, meni po ničemer ni dišala, kar me je seveda razočaralo, saj imam dobre izkušnje z Lushevimi kopalnimi bombami. Opazovanje bombice kako se topi je po drugi strani pravo doživetje. Iz temno modre sredice se vali modra barva, ki me je presenetila z morjem srebrnih bleščic, ki so poplesavale po gladini. Ko se je bombica stopila so bleščice na vodi bile tako goste, da je izgledalo kot oljni madež. Sama voda je temno nebesno modra. Čudovita. Čeprav je kopanje v tej kopeli bilo res čarobno na pogled, pa mi ni prineslo zadovoljstva, ker ni dišalo. Prav tako je bleščic toliko, da se mi je koža bleščala in tudi po dolgem drgnjenju jih nisem uspela popolnoma odstranit. Čeprav me to načeloma ne moti, pa bi rada imela opcijo, da se ne svetim kot disko krogla. 😀 Vonj se na koži ne obdrži.

So the scent itself is really mild, it didn’t smell like anything to me which was of course disappointing, because I have good experience with Lush bath bombs. Watching the bomb dissolve is on the other hand a real experience. Blue color fizzes from the deep blue core, which surprised me with a sea of silver glitter that pranced on the surface. The glitter on the water was so thick, that when the bomb melted, it looked like an oil slick. The water itself is dark sky-blue. Wonderful. Although bathing in this bath was magical to look at, it didn’t bring me satisfaction because of the lack of scent. Because of the huge amount of glitter my skin sparkled and even after a long rub I couldn’t get them all off. Even though in principal I don’t mind it, I would like to have an option not to shine as a disco ball. 😀 The scent doesn’t linger on the skin.

Sestavine: natrijev bikarbonat, citronska kislina, bleščice, parfum, grenivkino olje, nerolijevo olje, vrtnično olje, vinski kamen, natrijev lavrat sulfat, lavril betain, lilial, hydroxycitronellal, geraniol, limonene, linalool, srebrne bleščice, barvilo 42090, barvilo 42053.

Zmotilo me je tudi to, da je bila kad po kopanju prekrita z bleščicami in kljub tuširanju se niso vse sprale. Kože mi ni izsušila, ker je vedno plus. Za bombico sem odštela 6,95€ in žal je več ne bom kupila. Je veliko drugih, ki so mi veliko bolj všeč.

What also bothered me is that the bath tub was covered with glitter after bathing and despite washing it, they didn’t wash off. It didn’t dry out my skin, which is always a plus. I paid 6,95€ for the bath bomb and I won’t repurchase it. There are many others that I like much more.

The Body Shop: Mandljevo olje za nohte & obnohtno kožico in pilica za nohte

Ta dva izdelka sem dobila v setu za rojstni dan. V setu so bili štirje izdelki: milo za roke, krema za roke, olje za obnohtno kožico in nohte ter pilica za nohte. Škatla je dobre velikosti in mi v kopalnici služi za shranjevanje.

I got these two products in a set for my birthday. There were four products in the set: a hand wash, hand cream, nail & cuticle oil and a nail file. The box is a good size and I use it for storage in my bathroom.

Olje je v priročni embalaži s potisnim sistemom, čopičem za enostavni nanos in mehko potisno gumico za obnohtno kožico. Embalaža mi je všeč, saj je res enostavna za uporabo.

The oil is in a convenient package with a twist system, a brush for easy application and a soft rubbery cuticle pusher for the nail cuticle. I like the packaging, because it’s really easy to use.

Olje je rahlo gosto, ni čisto tekoče, kot olja ponavadi so. Je prozorno z rahlim rumenim odtenkom. Z lahkoto ga razmažem okoli nohta s čopičem. Olje sem pustila na obnohtni kožici dobro uro, potem pa sem ga vmasirala v noht in kožico. Vpije se hitro. Vonj je sladek, diši po marcipanu. S potisno gumico sem obnohtno kožico potisnila z nohta in moram povedati, da ni šlo tako enostavno, kot sem vajena. Čeprav se mi je zdelo, da olje ne more biti slabo, saj je pač olje in deluje, ampak izgleda, da ni tako. Olje je sicer zmehčalo kožico, ampak se mi zdi da ne tako, kot druga olja. Prav tako me je presenetilo, da mi obnohtne kožice ni nahranilo niti kaj preveč navlažilo, saj je bila drugi dan kožica precej suha. Prav tako je olja zelo malo (1,8ml) in, če kupite “svinčnik” posebej, je cena kar zasoljena (12€) za tako malo produkta. Jaz bom olje porabila, ne bi ga pa več kupila.

The oil is lightly thick, it’s not as liquid as oils usually are. It’s transparent with a hint of yellow. I easily spread it around my nail with the brush. I left the oil on my cuticle for a good hour, then I massaged it into my nail and cuticle. It absorbs quickly. The scent is sweet, it smells like marzipan. I pushed my cuticle away from the nail with the rubbery pusher and I have to say that it didn’t go as easy as I’m used to. Although I thought that the oil can’t be bad, it’s an oil and it works, but it seems that that’s not the case. The oil did soften my cuticle, but not as good as the other oils do. It also surprised me that the oil didn’t nourish nor did it moisturize my cuticle, because my cuticle was pretty dry the next day. Also there is not a lot of oil (1,8ml) and if you buy this “pencil” by itself, the price is quite steep (12€) for that little product. I will use the oil up, but will never repurchase.

S pilico prav tako nisem zadovoljna. Najprej me je zmotila oblika, saj ne maram kvadratnih pilic, imam raje ploščate, tako da brez težav pridem pod noht. S to pilico je bilo to nemogoče. Pilica ima štiri ploskve, štiri različne teksture, ki nohte skrajšajo, očistijo, zgladijo in spolirajo. Tale pilica nohtov ne bo skrajšala oziroma potrebovali boste veliko več časa in truda, da noht skrajšate. Jaz sem poskusila z enim nohtom, potem pa sem jo hitro zamenjala za mojo Essence profesionalno pilico 4 v 1, ki svoje delo opravi hitro in učinkovito. Edino, za kar je bila ta pilica dobra, je bila za glajenje in poliranje nohtov, vendar pa moja Essence pilica naredi isto. Zato je bila tale pilica veliko razočaranje. Pilico lahko tudi posebej kupite, ampak je jaz ne priporočam. Cena izdelka je 5€.

I also wasn’t too happy with the file either. First of all I don’t like the shape of it, because I don’t like square files, I like flat ones, so I can get under my nail easily. This was impossible with this file. The file has four surfaces, four different textures that shorten the nail, clean it, smooth and polish the nail. This file won’t shorten the nail or you will need much more time and effort to shorten it. I tried with one nail and then replaced it quickly with my Essence professional nail file 4 in 1, that does its job fast and effective. The only thing this file is good for is to smooth and polish the nails, but my Essence file can do the same. This was a big disappointment for me. You can buy the file on its own, but I don’t recommend it. The price is 5€.

Vseeno se veselim preizkušanju mila za roke, saj kremo že poznam in mi je tudi zelo všeč. Ocene drugih dveh izdelkov kmalu na blogu. Ste že poskusili katerega od naštetih produktov? Kaj je vaše mnenje?

Still I can’t wait to try the hand soap, because I already know the cream and I really like it. The reviews of the other two products soon on my blog. Did you try any of the listed products? What is your opinion?

Radi se imejte in veliko se smejte. 🙂

Vse najboljše ;)

Drage dame, tudi jaz vam želim prelep dan žena. Pa naj ne bo samo današnji dan lep, ampak naj bodo lepi vsi dnevi. 🙂

Dear ladies, I wish you all a wonderful Women’s Day. I wish you that all your days are wonderful, not just today. 🙂

Radi se imejte in veliko se smejte! 😉

Darila za dan žena

Ker se bliža 8. Marec oziroma dan žena sem se odločila, da naredim en krajši nakupovalni vodič za vaše sestre, mame, punce, žene… Odločila sem se za negovalno kozmetiko, saj se mi zdi boljša izbira, kot ličila. Sicer pa če osebo poznate zelo dobro, potem so seveda tudi ličila vedno dobra izbira ( z YSL maskaro po moje ne morete zgrešiti ;)).

Because March 8th or International Women’s day is coming soon I decided to do a short shopping guide for your sisters, mothers, girlfriends, wives… I decided to go with skincare cosmetics, because I think this is a better choice than make-up. Although if you know the person really well, then make-up is always a good choice (you can never go wrong with a YSL mascara ;)).

Na izbiro bom dala cenejša, kot tudi dražja darila in v glavnem darila, ki se lahko kupijo v Sloveniji, tako da, če še niste izbrali darila za ljubljeno osebo, ne boste z darilom zamujali. Pa začnimo. 😀

I will give cheaper and more expensive choices for gifts and mainly gifts that can be bought in Slovenia, so if you haven’t bought a present for your loved one just yet, they won’t have to wait for it. Let’s start. 😀

Tukaj je torej par daril, ki so meni všeč, sicer pa imate na izbiro neskončno možnosti. Darilne kartice so tudi vedno dobra izbira, če ne veste kaj bi izbrali. Če kliknete na povezavo, ki je pri vsakem darilu, bo vas ta popeljala na stran z darilom. Ta darila seveda niso primerna le za dan žena, ampak tudi za obletnice, rojstne dneve… Kakšna darila so vam všeč in kaj najraje podarjate? Pri meni ne morete zgrešiti s čokolado. 😛

So here are a few gifts that I like, otherwise you have endless possibilities. Gift cards are also a good choice if you don’t know what to choose. If you click on the link by the name, that is by every gift, it will take you directly to the site with that gift. These presents are not only suitable for Women’s day, but also anniversaries, birthdays,… What kind of presents do you prefer to get and what do you prefer to give? With me you can’t go wrong with a chocolate. 😛
