Passing Fancy

I'm a sucker for animal shaped products. Bunny back, bee, koi fish and bears? Lush Spring releases look like an animal kingdom of cute (kawaii) treats. Well okay, Scrubee is not totally new but it's new for me. While ''bunny hopping'' solid shampoo is a neat complimentary item to Lush Easter collection.

SLO

Če je izdelek v obliki živali, potem ste mi to že avtomatsko prodali. Zajčkov repek, koi krapi, čebelice in medvedki? Ne, to ni živalsko kraljestvo. To so novi izdelki iz Lush pomladne kolekcije, ki so pocukrano luštkani! Mogoče že prepoznate Scrubee-ja ki ni čisto popolnoma nov, vendar je nov v moji kopalnici.

What I've picked up from Lush for Spring?

Oldies goldies like Dream Cream Body Lotion, the most soothing and comforting body lotion on the planet. My skin feels soft for days if I wouldn't shower. My knuckles are feeling really sore and dry at the moment and Dream Cream seems to do the trick. Actually, it's the only body lotion I can apply without making my red knuckles sting (thinking to myself and meanwhile, heavily applying it). Another repurchase is Lush Ocean Salt, a bit harsher but efficient facial scrub. It has a soft side too. Avocado and coconut oil will soften the skin and prepare it for another facial step. Scrubee Body Butter was on my wish list ever since it came out. Scent is exactly the same as with Honey I washed the kids. Caramel with loads of sweet honey. Scrubee is gentle - it melts in your hands like butter. Shredded coconut and almond shells will softly peel dead skin cells and buttery base will add nourishing touch.

Kaj sem izbrala za prihajajočo pomlad iz Lusha?

Preverjene klasike kot je Dream Cream losjon za roke in telo, ki me nikoli ne razočara. To je najbolj nežna, najbolj koži prijazna krema za telo. Koža po občutku ni več suha, občutek negovalnega sloja pa ostane več dni (ja, tudi čez lene vikende rada kaj potestiram). Trenutno sem imela težave s suhimi členki, ki so pekli ob vsakem stiku z losjonom. Potrjujem da je Dream Cream samo ena in edina - edina ki ne draži moje kože (ob tem pa velikodušno nanesem še en sloj na členke). Ponoven nakup je tudi Lush Ocean Salt, ki vedno znova čudovito pripravi mojo kožo na nadaljnjo nego. Piling je res malo bolj močan, vendar je uravnovešen z avokadom in kokosom. Vonj pa spomni na lepše poletne dni ki prihajajo. Scrubee maslo s pilingom za telo je bil na moji listi želja, odkar sem ga prvič uzrla na Lush policah. Diši kot njihov najbolj značilen Honey I washed the kids - karamela z medeno polivko. Scrubee je nežen - maslena baza neguje kožo, piling delci pa so iz luščin kokosa in mandljev. Učinkovit, sladek, nežen.

NEW to Lush and me?

Mother's day, father's day and Easter. My eye was instantly caught on the new Lush Raspberry Milkshake Soap. It looks delicious so you can imagine how it smells. Exactly the same as it's name. Like a tingly mouthwatering raspberry milkshake. No kidding. If you like sweetly scented soap and The Comforter, this is perfect for you. And since the collections are mostly based on bath products, I took only Wash Behind Your Ears Solid Shampoo from Easter collection. My sister's ''solid shampoo mania'' (she has 3+ at the moment) caught up with me and I wanted one for myself. Wash behind your ears shampoo seemed like a good match for the days when my hair is more prone to oily roots. Lemon and vinegar get rid of oiliness naturally and I'm left with shiny blonde hair afterwards. However, these solid shampoos are not rich enough for color treated hair so I suggest using them sparingly - once a week treat.

NOVO v Lushu in pri meni?

Materinski dan, dan očetov in velika noč. Novi izdelki so predvsem za kopanje, jaz pa sem pobrskala po izdelkih za tuširanje. Znova sem posegla po Lush Raspberry Milkshape milu, ki diši slastno. Če so vam blizu sladki vonji in vonj The Comforter, potem nimate kaj razmišljati. Vonj je namreč zelo saden a hkrati mlečen zaradi vanilije. Kar cedijo se mi sline, ko pomislim na ta vonj. Prav tako sem izbrala še Wash Behind your Ears trdni šampon, ki je del velikonočne kolekcije. Sestra me je uspešno okužila z ''šampon manijo'', saj ima trenutno 3+ Lush trdne šampone. Zato sem si zaželela trdni šampon, da bom lahko brez mirne vesti uporabljala svojega. Ta trdni šampon vsebuje limonin sok in kis, ki moje lasišče očisti in osveži ob najbolj napornih dnevih. Ko se začne moje lasišče prekomerno mastiti, posežem po Wash behind your ears. Kot šampon je premalo negovalen, saj imam barvane lase. Zato priporočam, da v primeru barvanih las raje uporabljate tega kot nek ''tedenski tretma''.

I'm a newbie and this is my first try of Clinique and GlamGlow. I'm happy to announce that both brands had successfully incorporated into my current skincare routine. I was missing extra pomp of moisture and care. GlamGlow is a new jewel I've discovered after a long time. I was only using natural brands at this time so it had to be pretty darn good if I've decided to keep it in my skincare routine. It offers so much more! Do I need to say that I'm already justifying to buy their new Glittermask?

SLO

Na teritoriju znamk Clinique in GlamGlow sem čisto nova. Doslej še nisem preizkusila njunih formul in sem vesela, da sta se obnesli prav obe. Clinique in GlamGlow sem uspešno vključila v mojo rutino nege obraza, ki je sicer skrbno sestavljena iz naravnih izdelkov. Marsikateri izdelek za nego obraza mi lahko polepša dan in to sta vsekakor storili ti dve znamki. GlamGlow mi je polepšal še kako naporen dan, medtem ko je Clinique skrbel za mojo dehidrirano kožo skozi ves dan. Še posebej sem presenečena nad GlamGlow, ki se je pred mano skrival kot negovalni biser. Moram poudariti, da že načrtujem nakup nove Glittermaske? Obe znamki sta dostopni v drogerijah Muller po vsej Sloveniji.

Before we move to ''the stars of the post'' I wanted to share a word or two about Clinique. Clinique Moisture Surge is probably their most famous skincare line and I can see why - it does what it promises. Moisture Surge gives moisture boost to dehydrated skin which is totally correct in my case. Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate is a wonderful addition to any regular daily or night cream. It's light and based on hyaluronic acid, which holds the aloe water. Little bubbles in the bottle are capsuled antioxidants. I've truly experienced much plumper and moisturised skin, without interference of new texture to my old skincare routine. Same goes with Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Gel-Cream which is light and water based. Both products are ''man worthy'' which means, that the texture won't bother men and oily skintypes. I like the Concentrate the best since Gel-Creme is not enough for my dry skin.

Še preden vam predstavim ''zvezde objave'' bi želela spisati stavek ali dva o znamki Clinique (slovenske novosti najdete tukaj). Četudi ne poznate Clinique, sem prepričana da ste slišali za Moisture Surge linijo. To je njihova najbolj popularna linija za dehidrirano kožo brez sijaja in vlage. Jaz sem se poigrala s Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged koncentratom, ki izgleda prav čarobno v sami steklenički. Izdelek je sam po sebi odličen ''kompanjon'' vsem kremam, saj se v kožo vpije v trenutku. Ima hialuronsko kislino, ki zadrži sok aloe vere in antioksidante. Tekstura je tipično gelasto-vodena in se obnaša kot odličen serum. Jaz bi temu rekla, da je ''potrjen s strani moških'', saj se na koži ne občuti hkrati pa doda učinkovit sloj nege. Enako se obnaša Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Gel-krema v mini obliki. Po občutku je zelo vodena, vendar pusti čisto lahek negovalen sloj. Sama kremica ni dovolj hranilna za mojo suho kožo, bo pa prišla prav v poletnih mesecih.

Clinique Pep-Start Double Bubble Purifying Mask is a sight to see. This is the most fun mask I have ever experienced. It starts as bubble pink gel consistency and slowly transforms into bubbles. Clinique Double Bubble Purifying Mask gently tingles your skin when transforming. On the end you look like a puffy bubbly face. Since my skin is dry, I haven't experience any dryness at all. It's refreshing and almost oil-like when you rinse it off. So I could conclude that it's a fun time on any skintype. Skin feels super clean, refreshed and energised.

Clinique Pep Start Double Bubble Purifying Maska je pravi mali eksperiment. To je najbolj zabavna maska daleč naokoli! Maska se nanese kot roza gel tekstura, ki se nato počasi ''mehurčka'' na obrazu v končno obliko mehurčkaste penice. Ob tem maska prijetno žgečka, občutek je prav zanimiv. Maska je sicer bolj primerna za nečisto kožo, vendar je ustrezala tudi moji suhi koži. Ob spiranju me namreč ni zategovala, niti nisem izkusila občutka suhosti. Maska je super izbira za darilo ali družabne večere, nisem pa opazila kakšnih norih sprememb na koži. Kožo pusti lepo osveženo, polno energije in čisto.

Wearing CLINIQUE Pep-Start Double Bubble Purifying Mask

I'm especially in love with GlamGlow - no wonder there's so much buzz around it. There's more to it than only stunning packaging and celebrity co-founders. Textures are outstanding and I could never imagine mud transforming into oil. First off is GlamGlow ThirstyCleanse Daily Hydrating Cleanser, daily cleanser for all skintypes. It's gentle and strong enough to remove foundation and other makeup (mascara needs 2-steps). The main ingredient is Brazilian yellow clay, which leaves skin feeling soft. Olive Milk and Leaf powder add richness and mild acid for moisture. But whole experience is rather tropical - cleanser smells like coconut sunscreen. I really, really enjoy using it as a 2-step cleanser.

Zaljubila sem se v GlamGlow - nič čudnega da je okoli te znamke toliko pozitivnega šušljanja. GlamGlow ni le popolna embalaža, ampak skriva odlične sestavine in nenavadne teksture. Nikoli si nisem niti predstavljala, da se lahko glina pretvori v oljno osnovo ob stiku z vodo. Prvi na vrsti je GlamGlow Thirstycleanse Daily Hydrating Cleanser, dnevni čistilec na osnovi Brazilske rumene gline. Čistilec je nežen in primeren za vse tipe kož, ki potrebujejo dodatno nego in odstranjevanje ličil. Ta moder čudež pobere iz obraza vsa ličila - le maskara potrebuje 2 sloja. Mleko in listi oljke naredijo kožo bolj mehko in dodajo blago kislino za lepši izgled in sijaj kože. Celotna izkušnja je zelo prijetna - moja suha koža je negovana, kremna pena pa diši kot tropska sončna krema. Zelo uživam v uporabi.

GlamGlow Powermud Treatment is a sight to feel. Truly a multi-sensory experience as GlamGlow proclaims. This deliciously scented apple mask is packed with fruit acids, white clay, rice powder, yeast acid, plankton extract. It applies like a jelly mask but hardens into a clay texture that's still light in layers. My skin feels a bit tingly within first 5 minutes. When you rinse it off, the dried texture transforms into light cleansing oil. You need to feel it to believe it. If you're a masking junkie, you need to try at least the smaller version. Crisp apple scent is just another bonus to supple glowing skin, that makes you addicted to this thing.

GlamGlow Powermud Treatment je stvar, ki jo morate nujno preizkusiti. Ta multi-senzorna maska je res nekaj posebnega za čute. Diši kot sveže nabrana zelena jabolka, saj je polna s sadnimi kislinami, belo glino, riževim pudrom, kvasovkami in planktonom. Maska se nanaša kot ''žele'' tekstura in se počasi strdi v prožno glineno osnovo. Mojo kožo začne takoj ščemeti. Ko jo sperete, se tekstura pretvori v čudovito oljnato emulzijo, ki odstrani vse nečistoče in pusti kožo mehko. Če ste ''mask junkie'' jo enostavno morate preizkusiti. Koži pusti namreč nek viden sijaj - na otip je mehkejša, bolj gladka. Svež jabolčni vonj pa bo zapečatil, da boste imeli sijajno kožo tudi ob najbolj napornih dneh. Jaz sem že prava mala odvisnica.

The Body Shop = body butters. If you're thinking like that, then you're seriously missing out. The Body Shop offers so much more and that's also the main reason I always return in their store. It's fun but not overly cheesy - delivering only the best results if you choose the right product for the your needs. Let's start with the most obvious TOP The Body Shop pick, shall we?

SLO

The Body Shop = maslo za telo. Če razmišljate tako, potem resno zamujate skrite The Body Shop adute. Ponuja veliko več kot le odlična masla in je ponavadi ena izmed mojih prvih postojank v tujini. Izdelek ponudi točno to kar ponuja, hkrati pa je embalaža še vedno okusno igriva. Končno smo dobili The Body Shop v Slovenijo, vsa naročila pa lahko oddate tukaj. Trenutno je na voljo le spletna trgovina, čez nekaj mesecev pa se bomo sprehajali po prvi slovenski The Body Shop trgovini. Ker sem velika oboževalka The Body Shop-a že od nekdaj (in so to tudi opazili) so mi za vas ponudili kodo za 20% popust na VSE izdelke: SARA20 vspletni trgovini.
Jaz nimam od tega nič tako da brez skrbi - to je le moja dobra volja in zaupanje v njihove izdelke. Če vas bo slučajno zamikal nakup, boste vsaj prihranili nekaj evrov. Vsi izdelki, ki jih redno uporabljam pa so navedeni v nadaljevanju.

Stars of the show...

Of course it's not a real ''The Body Shop trip'' without picking up at least one Body butter. I'm devouring them with pleasure but at the same time, they're almost too good to use them up. A big pot of goodness will nevertheless last you for a month or two. There are numerous scents to try and they always add special editions like this Blueberry Body Butter. From the regular line, my favourite is Body Butter Shea. Note that texture also depends on the scent, it's richer and thicker with nutty scents and lighter with fruity scents. Try, try, try at the store.

Ni pravega izleta v njihovo trgovino, če ne posežete po vsaj enem lončku Body butter - masla za telo (17,50€ na spletu). Jaz se mazilim z njimi kot nora, po drugi strani pa jih želim čim pozneje porabiti. Vseeno bodo body butterji zdržali mesec ali dva ob redni uporabi. Prednost je tudi velika izbira vonjev in ''limited editions'' kot je moja borovnica. Iz redne linije mi je najbolj všeč nevtralen Body Butter Shea z vonjem po nevtralnem kariteju. Prav tako ne pozabite, da ima vsaka vonj masla drugačno teksturo. Nekateri so bolj gosti kot drugi, ponavadi so gostejši ravno oreškasti vonji. Zato teksture preizkušajte, preizkušajte, preizkušajte.

The Body Shop fragrance...

I'm also a big fan of The Body Shop Body Mists. They're so easy to use! I love to spray them over my clothes and body for an extra kick of freshness or sweetness. I adore their Moringa scent for spring and summer, while I use Brazil Nut (good substitute is Shea or Vanilla) at fall and winter. You can't expect longevity and power, but you can count on a subtle hint of scent.

Obožujem tudi The Body Shop Meglice za telo (13,90€ na spletu). Če pa so tako enostavne za uporabo! Med poletjem so nepogrešljive, saj jih rada velikodušno razpršim na kožo in oblačila. Najljubši vonj? Vsekakor moringa. Tak nežen, svež cvetlični vonj ki me malo spominja na šmarnice. Pozimi se ponavadi odločim za brazilski orešček (podoben vaniliji ali kariteju). Te meglice niso najbolj obstojne, so pa najbolj praktične dišave za ''on the go''.

The Body Shop everyday staples...

Okay, Banana shampoo is on my ''top list'' only because of scent. It's so darn delicious I can't resist! Also, my hair doesn't feel dry. It's a regular everyday shampoo that smells like sweet ass bananas. Yum, good enough to eat. If you follow up with Banana Conditioner I can promise you that banana hair will be olfactory noticeable. Good thing they brought out new Banana Body Yogurt to satisfy my ''go bananas''. Moving onto skincare, I always repurchase Chamomile Cleansing Oil. Comparing it to other cleansing oils, The Body Shop is much more rich and thick. Almost to the point that's extra greasy but if you take your time, everything can be removed in one swipe. This is my 4th bottle of it and that usually says something. I have only one complaint. The Body Shop, please fix the darn pump so it won't leak.

Priznam, The Body Shop Banana šampon (3,20-7,20€ na spletu) je na moji ''top listi'' izključno zaradi sladkega vonja. Diši tako slastno, da se ne morem upreti vsaj eni steklenički. Po sami teksturi je sicer navaden vsakodnevni šampon, ki odgovarja mojim zbeljenim lasem. Ni pa noben presežek kar se tiče nege. Če boste po šamponu uporabili še Banana balzam za lase, vam obljubim, da bodo vaši lasje zadišali. Še dobro smo poleg šamponov dobili tudi nov Banana Body Yogurt, ki bo zadovoljil vse vaše čute. Bananomanija se me je prijela. Za nego obraza vedno dokupim Čistilno Olje Kamilica (17,50€ na spletu), ki je gostejše kot večina čistilnih olj. Z njim je malce težje odstraniti maskaro, vendar je na koncu čiščenja vredno. Odstranil bo vsako sled ličil. To je že moja 4 steklenička kar je velik pokazatelj mojega navdušenja. Imam le eno pritožbo. The Body Shop, prosim, zamenjajte pumpico ker tale rada malce toči.

The Body Shop makeup after all...

And here it is, my favourite part. Makeup. First of all, I cannot live without TBS Shade Adjusting Drops Lightening. Those are necessity and every time I'm running out of it, I already have a backup in my drawer. Finito. It's perfect to lighten up all kinds of foundations, while it's still neutral enough that it doesn't interfere with texture or undertone. It's effective and little goes a long way. Another staple is TBS Honey Bronzer 02. It's so freakin' easy to use - that's why I love it. It's light but not orangey. My companion for life. I'm also a fan of The Body Shop Matte Lip Liquids which have mousse texture and soft satin finish. They're comfortable, easy to use and smell like fruit candy. Addictive scent have also Lip Juicer, new lipbalms with a tint. I chose cool pink/purple with Acai, blueberry and dragonfruit. If you look at the picture closely, you'll see that it leaves quite a nice color. Texture is also quite odd - like a whipped matte mousse that's super cushiony and comfy on the lips. I like.

Tukaj je, moj najljubši del. Ličila. Kje bi sploh začela? Ne morem brez TBS Shade Adjusting Lightening Drops (14,50€ na spletu), ki so obvezna oprema pri ličenju. Vedno imam rezervo v predalu, saj mi te posvetlitvene kapljice rešijo čisto vsako pretemno podlago. Te kapljice so zlato. Z njimi enostavno posvetlim vsako podlago. Posvetlitvene kapljice ne spremenijo osnovno teksturo pudra, hkrati pa so dovolj koncentrirane da jih porabite zelo malo. Zelo ljub mi je tudi TBS Honey Bronzer 02 (15,50€ na spletu), ki je dovolj svetel da je lahek za uporabo. Z njim nikoli ne izgledam ''umazano'', saj ima mehko teksturo in nevtralno-topel ton. Moj zvesti spremljevalec. Všeč so mi tudi TBS Matte Lip Liquids (8,90€ na spletu) ki imajo mousse teksturo in mehek žameten zaključek. Dišijo kot sadni bonboni, obenem pa so čisto udobni. Božanski vonj imajo tudi novi Lip Juicers, (7,90€ na spletu) obarvani balzami s sadnimi izvlečki. Jaz sem izbrala vijoličen odtenek z vonjem acai, borovnice in zmajevega sadeža. Zanimivo je, da ima ''smoothie'' teksturo z mat občutkom. Kljub temu je balzam hranilen in se obdrži na ustnicah kar nekaj časa.

The Body Shop Skincare line that intrigues me...

As for the skincare range, I'm intrigued by Drops of Light and Vitamin C line. I already wrote about TBS Skin Defence Multi-protectionhere. It's a lovely sun protection that feels like a veil. My only complaint is high amount of alcohol. Another thing in my skincare routine is Pure Translucency Brightening Serum for targeting my hyperpigmentation. Does it work? I can't really say after a month but I do believe it will help diminish pigments a little bit. At least optically. The main brightening ingredient is red algae - which is known being sensitive to ultraviolet radiation but can't grow without the sun. I do appreciate a more glowy appearance of the skin. Serum also works great with all kinds of day or night creams. Texture is quite runny and gel-like and little goes a long way. It also has a fair amount of mild acids to help regenerate the skin.

Pri negi obraza sem se vedno navduševala nad linijo Vitamin C in Drops of Light. Nekaj kosov iz Drops of Light sem že testirala tukaj, tokrat pa sem preizkusila najbolj koncentriran Pure Translucency Brightening Serum (29,50€ na spletu) za hiperpigmentacijo in madeže na koži. Ali deluje? Po mesečni uporabi še nisem zasledila čudeža, so pa moji madeži in pegice malce manj izstopili v tem pomladnem času. Kar je že samo po sebi velik uspeh, saj sem v tem času ponavadi čisto pegasta. Mislim da bo moja nova stalnica ker sem že obupala nad drugimi izdelki za hiperpigmentacijo. Tudi koža deluje bolj sijoče, serum pa se lahko sloji pred vsako kremico zjutraj ali zvečer. Je lahek in se hitro vpije, saj je dokaj voden in gelast. Osnova linije je rdeča alga, ki slovi po tem, da je ultra občutljiva na ultravijolično valovanje sonca. Poleg tega ima serum dodan tudi nekaj blagih kislin, ki pripomorejo k hitrejši regeneraciji kože. Ker je serum tako voden, mi bo služil še kar nekaj časa.

Blondes do it better. And this glorious Claudia Schiffer collection is a live proof of it. Claudia teamed up with favourite German brand Artdeco and they managed to create a stunning luxurious line called Claudia's Beauty Essentials. See for yourself, you won't be let indifferent.

SLO

Blondinke vedo kaj delajo. Živi primer je Claudia Schiffer, ki je z Artdecojem ustvarila veličastno kolekcijo ličil za zahtevne uporabnice. Claudia Schiffer Makeup ne izgleda samo lepo, ampak je tudi kvaliteta daleč najboljša med ostalo ponudbo. Ja! Pritrjujem vaši želji in nakupu ko boste zagledale ta ličila. Izdelki so pravi estetski balzam za oči, hkrati pa imajo čudovite teksture. Trenutno so vsi izdelki Claudia Schiffer znižani za polovico v vseh Muller poslovalnicah.

Let's start with the basic - Claudia Schiffer mascara. Super Long Lash Mascara (17,95€ in Muller or online) is everything I appreciate in a good mascara. It has a plastic wand that's not too big, the bristles are just enough ''grabby'' for getting that extra volume and at the same time, it gives me length. It's defining but no way clumpy. Also, I like the idea of linseed oil for ''on the day'' care. A solid staple like almost any Artdeco mascara. Same goes with Contour and Blusher Brush (24,95€ in Muller or online) which is good quality, has a nice grip, bristles are super soft and I'm pleased with blush application. I highly recommend checking out their brush collection for some nice staples.

Začnimo pri osnovi, maskari. Super Long Lash Maskara (~~17,95€~~ trenutno 9€ v Mullerju) ima vse kar cenim pri dobri maskari. Poudari moje trepalnice, doda volumen, jih malce podaljša, klasična plastična krtačka pa je enostavna za uporabo. Trepalnice nimajo grudic, so le lepo definirane in negovane z dodatkom olja lanenih semen. Odlično kot ponavadi, Artdeco. Enako dobri so tudi Claudia Schiffer čopiči, ki jih ne smete spregledati. Jaz imam Contour and Blusher Brush (~~24,95€~~ trenutno 12,47€ v Mullerju) in je res odlične kvalitete. Ščetine ne izpadajo in so ultra mehke. Čisto enostavno jih lahko primerjam z dobro poznanimi znamkami (khm Sigma, Zoeva...). Oblika tega čopiča je odlična za nanos konture, rdečila ali osvetljevalca.

Lip department has the same storyline. Claudia Schiffer lip products are easily superb quality and the textures remind me of high-end luxury lipsticks. My favourite by far are Cream Lipsticks (17,95€ in Muller or online) which are buttery soft but solid enough, nice to apply and comfortable for 4 hours or more. My top pick is Candy Cane - you know I love a good dusty mauve with pink undertone (khm, I'm wearing it on my lower picture). I'm also a fan of Claudia's Lip Liner (10,95€ in Muller or online) which is stiffer than usual lipliners but not annoyingly hard in texture. Just the right amount of grip and matte texture. Praline is a beautiful warm beige that goes well with my fair skintone. Believe it or not, I'm also a fan of Lip Gloss (14,95€ in Muller or online) in Be Mine which acts more like a balm than a gloss. Super duper comfy and the shade is universally flattering (look at the down pic).

Izdelki za ustnice so se (prav tako) izkazali. Navdušena sem nad vsem, čeprav sem ''snob'' pri izbiri šmink. Moje najljubše so seveda Claudia Schiffer Cream šminke (~~17,95€~~ trenutno okoli 9€ v Mullerju) ki so dovolj kremne in goste, da se obdržijo na ustnicah za kakšne 4 ure. Kupila sem odtenek Candy Cane - saj veste da obožujem moje roza nude odtenke s pudrastim odtenkom (khm, nosim jo na zadnji ''selfie'' sliki). Všeč mi je tudi Claudia's Lip Liner (~~10,95€~~ trenutno 5,47€ v Mullerju) ki je malce bolj trd svinčnik za ustnice, vseeno pa dovolj mehek za nežen matte učinek brez dodane šminke (glej 1.sliko). Svinčnik je udoben in klasičen. Praline je kombinacija bež barve, ki se preliva na mareličen odtenek. Čeprav nisem največja uporabnica glosov, je Lip Gloss Be Mine (~~14,95€~~ trenutno 12,47€ v Mullerju) čisto enakovreden mazljivemu balzamu. Na ustnicah je res udoben in lahkoten. Jaz sem zadovoljna, odtenki pa so v lepih nevtralnih barvah.

The ultimate model of the collection is Claudia Schiffer Blusher (29,50€ in Muller or online). Mine is Hot Sand, a nude peach with satin finish. It acts as described - subtle but strong pigment. You need only the tiniest amount of product to achieve flushed cheeks like mine. It a way that's not the best feature on a blusher on me. But who cares, packaging is everything. Still, texture is utterly smooth and silky like higher end products.

Zadnji ampak najlepši kos je Claudia Schiffer Blusher (~~29,50€~~ trenutno 15€ v Mullerju). Rdečilo Hot Sand je prelepo za uporabo - čeprav je meni padel na tla že med 1.uporabo. Jok in stok, ampak je preživel. Kljub temu ga rada nanašam med delovnim tednom saj se obdrži vse do zadnje ure. To rdečilo ne bo izgnilo, ostalo bo tam kjer ste ga nanesli. Pazite le, da boste nanašali z lahkotno roko saj je močno pigmentiran. Barvo je težko opisati - nekje med marelico, nude in bronzerjem s satenstim učinkom.

I love shaving my legs every day. Said no one ever. Spring harvest is already here and I'm not talking about fruit harvest. Body hair removal is annoying part for most of the women. But don't mind me, I'm actually enjoying my annual bikini-part and leg-part harvest. How? Why? I'm a firm believer of epilation. And Braun Silk-épil 9 makes it that much easier with additional attachments, features and looks. Why epilaton? It takes only 2 times in the whole summer to be hair-free. Don't be afraid of the word epilation. Today, epilation is far from being painful and irritating.

SLO

Kdor je kosmat, je tudi bogat. Ne vem če se ženske lahko tolažimo s to mislijo, so pa dlačice v centru pozornosti vsako poletje. Kako se lotiti iskanja idealne tehnike za odstranjevanje? Kaj je najboljša metoda? Se zanimaš za epiliranje?

Jaz sem na srečo svoj najljubši način odstranjevanja dlačic že našla pred leti. Imaš tanke, svetle in kratke dlačice? Potem bo epilator kot nalašč zate. Pa ne le zate, tudi za ostale bolj trmaste dlačice. Epiliranje je popolna metoda za odstranjevanje dlačic za slabih šest tednov (tako dolgo zdrži pri meni, sicer Braun obljublja gladko kožo do štirih tednov). To pomeni epiliranje samo dvakrat čez celo poletje. Tudi na bikini predelu. Pa naj vas ime epilator ne prestraši. Epiliranje je lahko malce neprijetno glede na vaš prag bolečine, pa vendar sem jaz popoln zagovornik te ''nič-kaj boleče'' metode. Ker imam svetle in tanke dlačice nimam nobenih težav z bolečino. Dejansko me epiliranje z Braun Silk-épil 9 zabava in nič ne boli. Dodatni pripomočki pa še kako polepšajo celoten proces.

How to prepare your skin for epilation?

Braun Silk-épil 9 makes everything so much easier. Braun comes with 2 peeling heads, which polish your skin to perfection. You only need a bit of shower gel on the peeling head and you're good to go. Skin like baby's butt. Wet & Dry system is the biggest bonus by far - wet epilation is just glorious for all sensitive skins. A bit of hot water can make miracles to lower pain or any displeasing feels. My older epilator that served me for several years hadn't had that function. And the massage head is like a cherry on top after a hardworking day.

Kako pripraviti kožo na epiliranje?

Braun Silk-épil 9 zadevo precej olajša. Moj model ima dva nastavka za piling telesa, zato ni treba skrbeti za dodatno ''loščenje'' kože. Samo malo gela za tuširanje dodate in koža bo gladka kot dojenčkova ritka. Že sam wet & dry sistem omogoča mokro in suho epiliranje kar je za občutljivce več kot dobrodošlo. Jaz sem nad mokrim epiliranjem enostavno navdušena, saj starejši epilator te funkcije ni imel. Topla voda je vsekakor prednost pri zmanjšanju morebitnega neprijetnega občutka. Nastavek za masažo pa doda piko na i pri zaključku ali začetku dneva.

Advantages of Braun Silk-épil 9...

are more than obvious. At least to me. I'm easily comparing it to my older epilator, which was much less pleasing. I like everything about it, seriously. I like the massage and peeling heads, I like the light on the epilator, I like the efficiency of the epilator, I like wet & dry system, I like simple charging station and the esthetically pleasing Braun device. As a blogger I simply can't ignore the looks of the device. It's feminine and beautiful, with violet details and white glitter. I'm really honoured that Braun wanted to cooperate with me and I wouldn't accept the offer if I wasn't a firm believer of epilation.

Prednosti Braun Silk-épil 9...

so več kot očitne. Vsaj meni, ki poznam pomanjkljivosti osnovnih modelov do potankosti po letih uporabe. Všeč so mi dodatni nastavki za piling in masažo, všeč mi je lučka na aparatu ki sveti v temi, všeč mi je wet & dry sistem, všeč mi je lepa polnilna postaja, všeč mi je učinkovitost puljenja dlačic in čudovit izgled. Kot blogerka ne morem prezreti izgleda te naprave. Bleščice in vijolični odtenki naredijo Braun Silk-epil 9 ''mašinco''ženstveno in lepo na pogled. Paše v čisto vsak prostor in jo z užitkom pogledam. Res sem vesela, da se je Braun odločil sodelovati z mano in tega nikakor ne bi sprejela, če ne bi že prej verjela v uporabo epilatorja. Zato vam skupaj z Braun in EnaA s kodo SARA30 nudimo 30% popust za vse ženske epilatorje, tudi za obraz, ženske brivnike ter darilna pakiranja (KLIK). Popust velja en teden (od 21. do 28.junija) in ni veljaven le za IPL naprave ter za nadomestne dele.

Vichy has heard my prayers. I've been on a healthy-skincare kick lately and nothing sounds better to me than daily cream with 97% natural origin. I was really happy about new Vichy change in the Aqualia Thermal line. Did you try it yet? It's heavenly for instant hydration and plump effect on young skin with minor smile lines. Don't get me wrong. All skintypes can take advantage of this hydrating miracle. Now, it's basically repackaged and reformulated to 97% ingredients of natural origin. How dope is that? The entire ingredients list is here but please don't stone me if I'm a slight beginner reading out lists of different ingredients. Of course, there's a percent of ingredients that needs to be added for olfactory experience and daily protection. I have Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Water Gel for oily/combination skin which works great as a base before makeup. The gel works wonderfully with any kind of foundation while it cools the skin. Such a gem for summer. Also note that this gel is not enough potent for night time routine. It has a slight perfume-floral scent that's not overpowering. Aqualia Thermal line consists of two creams for oily/combination skin and dry/very dry skin and a potent serum.

Vichy je uslišal mojo željo. Zadnje čase sem na iskalni akciji naravne nege, do česar me je privedlo moje zdravstveno stanje (ličila še zaenkrat ostajajo enaka, vsak ima svojo ''greško''). In me je močno razveselilo dejstvo, da je na trg prišla Vichy kremica ki ima kar 97% delež sestavin naravnega izvora. In to ravno najbolj priljubljena linija Aqualia Thermal, ki je vlažilna in primerna za mlajšo kožo. Pa ne me narobe razumet, ne bi raje o svojih letih. Tale vlažilna bombica je namreč ''instant rešitev'' za vsak tip kože. Jaz imam Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Water Gel (21,00€ za 50ml; klik tukaj), ki lepo napne kožo in zmanjša videz izraznih gubic. Sicer ni najboljša izbira za nočno vlaženje, je pa kvalitetna podlaga pred ličili. Hladilni gel odlično sodeluje z vsemi pudri. Kožo osveži s hialuronsko kislino in sladkorjem manozo, ki zadrži vlago. Zaenkrat ne morem trditi več kot to, da je koža po nanosu sproščena. Mi je pa tekstura zelo blizu in ne dvomim da bo všeč vsaki izmed vas v poletnih dneh. Seznam sestavin lahko preverite tukaj. In prosim ne me ''linčat''če nisem strokovnjak na področju sestavin. Sama oprostim npr. alkoholu in nisem pretirano pikolovska. Iz iste linije Aqualia Thermal izhaja še krema za suho kožo in intenzivni serum, ki kar poka s hidratacijo. Prav tako ne pozabite spremljati Vichy Facebook strani, kjer potekajo različne akcije in nagradni natečaji. Tam boste najprej obveščeni o vseh novostih in akcij v naših lekarnah.

I like smart products. Smart to the extent that I can use them for multiple reasons. I'm talking about smart cosmetics. The smartest collection to this date is Artdeco Natural Makeup Revolution. For me personally, it overcome all my expectations and it's another reason that I love Artdeco so much.

Rada imam pametne izdelke. Iznajdljive izdelke, ki imajo več obrazov kot samo korektor, rdečilo ali šminka. Govorim o pametni kozmetiki, ki je večnamenska in uporabna za več kot le eno stvar. Zelo pametna in skrbno izbrana je nova Artdeco Natural Makeup Revolution kolekcija. Toliko lepote in uporabnosti na kupu še nisem videla nikoli. Še eden razlog zakaj mi je Artdeco tako pri srcu.

Artdeco Multi Sticks are already picking up several prizes for their innovative formula and multitasking properties. Multi Sticks can be easily used as blusher, contour, highlight, concealer, lipstick and eyeshadow. To me, formula feels creamy and light, blending easily into the skin. They work really well on all areas of my face, it's only my eyelids that need to be primed beforehand. But cream eyeshadows usually crease on me so that's not big of a deal. Multi Sticks as concealers are okay but they're not 100% opaque, nor do they set. So you have to be careful with the amount. My favourite way of using them? I love 06 for cheeks and lips, 04 is my perfect contour shade and 01 matches me perfectly for adding a bit of coverage around my mouth and under-eye area. All products are used on lower picture, check out before - after pics!

Artdeco Multi Stick (15,95€ v Muller/Nama/Maxi ali na spletu) že pobira različne nagrade za inovativnost in so vsekakor češnja na vrhu lične kolekcije. Multi Sticks se lahko uporabljajo za vse - kot rdečilo, konturo, osvetljevalec, korektor in podlago. Izbira odtenkov je odlična - trije nevtralni toni, dva temnejša rjava in eden kožnat z roza podtonom. Formula je multiuporabna. Tekstura je zelo kremna in malce silikonasta, zato jo z lahkoto zabrišemo in dobimo čisto naraven videz obraza. Nič več ostrih linij in očitnih bronzerjev, koža bo izgledala sveža in naravna. Multi Stick-i izgledajo dobro na vseh delih obraza - le na vekah se mi rad nabere v gubo kot večina kremnih senčil. Prav tako imejte v mislih da Multi Stick-i niso 100% prekrivni ampak srednje. Prav tako se ne osušijo na obrazu, saj ohranijo vlago. Le odtenek 06 se na ustnicah spremeni v satenasto teksturo. Moji najljubši odtenki? Obvezno 06 za lička in ustnice, 04 za lepo konturo in 01 za prekrivanje podočnjakov. Vse tri sem uporabila na spodnjih slikah, poglejte si razliko.

The unsung hero is also Artdeco Instant Skin Perfector (22,95€ in Muller). It's my second favourite out of the collection. Instant Skin Perfector works like a charm. It blurs out imperfections but it's still not silicone. It gives a bit of radiance and a bit of color without making you look unnatural. It gives the illuson of health. Works similar as Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow (I like it a lot but it's hell' expensive at 48€) but it's lighter and more forgiving for my pale skin. I won't even compare the pricepoints since Artdeco is cheaper. I'm wearing it with a bit of foundation on the upper picture.

Artdeco Multi Sticks so kar malo zasenčili Artdeco Instant Skin Perfector (22,95€ za 25ml v Muller/Nama/Maxi ali na spletu) moj 2.najljubši izdelek. Instant Skin Perfector je baza, ki optično skrije nepravilnosti. Je lahka, ni občutka silikona in doda malce barve samemu tenu. Jaz jo zelo rada uporabljam pred pudrom, saj me poživi in doda malce sijaja. Je tuba ''zdrave polti''. Deluje podobno kot Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow (ki me je navdušil ampak drag kot žafran pri 48€), le da odtenek malce svetlejši in lažji za uporabo. Primerjava cen je nesmiselna, ker je Artdeco Instant Skin Perfector veliko cenejši in bolj dostopen v Muller poslovalnicah. Hibrid vlaženja, sijaja in malce barve. Na zgornji sliki ga nosim skupaj s podlago.

Nanos z ovalnim Artdeco čopičem in zabrisovanje

And the perfect last touch up was made with gorgeous highlighter and nude lipstick. Artdeco Luminous Skin Stick (14,95€ in Muller) is a creamy glowy goodness that reflects a bit blue for that ''glass skin look'' that currently trends in Korea. It's perfect for that. Cheeks look moist and like glass. Stay away from it if you like your highlighter ultra shimmery and set. This particular stick doesn't set and leaves a slight tacky feeling that I personally don't mind on my dry skin. Also let's not forget about the lips. Artdeco Color Booster Lip Balms come in two shades. I have 8 Nude which is a lovely rose with lots of shine. Lips look juicy, moist and in the most beautiful natural state. Love!

Videz moram nujno zaključiti s šminko ali osvetljevalcem. Lahko bi uporabila kar Multi-Sticks ampak dajmo se poigrat tudi z ostalimi izdelki, ne? Artdeco Luminous Skin Stick(14,95€ v Muller/Nama/Maxi ali na spletu) je kremni osvetljevalec s perlasto bazo in rahlim modrim odsevom. Zaključek je ''moker'', učinek pa je ''glass skin'' ki je trenutno popularna v Koreji. Občutek na koži ostane malce moker, ampak mene osebno to ne moti na moji suhi koži. Artdeco Color Booster balzam za ustnice 8 Nude (8,50€ v Muller/Nama/Maxi ali na spletu) je čudovite barve in ima čudovit vlažilen občutek. Deluje kot balzam vendar obudi ustnice kot sočne in navlažene. Res edinstven odtenek ki bo pristajal čisto vsaki. Nova obvezna oprema v moji torbici!

Plastic. Facts like 8 million tons of plastic in the ocean sound teriffying but we can't actually imagine the amount unless we're somehow involved. Dead dolphin in our bay was crucial for me personally to reconsider my plastic habits. The problem wasn't personal until now. Until it came to our ''backyard'' if you know what I mean. Does it matter to you? Does it matter to us? Nobody's perfect and I'm guilty of some bad plastic habits too. Thankfully, my beloved LUSH regularly reminds me of different environment problems. Hot topic about plastic in the ocean is being evaluated also by Lush. For this purpose, Lush brought out Turtle Jelly Bomb which highlights the danger of plastic for all ocean living being. Including turtles which often mistake plastic bags for their food - jellyfish. That's why, Turtle Jelly Bomb is full with algae threads that remind of plastic. You will enjoy cypress and sandalwood scent but bathe in comforting layer of jelly. The bright side is also that Lush opened first ever store in Milano, that sells only naked products. Hurray! Also don't forget you can always trade 5 Lush pots for a fresh face mask.

Plastika. Lepo je navajati dejstva o 8 milijonih ton plastike v oceanih, če si sami tega niti ne predstavljamo. Pred dnevi sem na spletu zasledila sliko mrtvega delfina v enem od naših zalivov. Z Mercator vrečko in plastičnimi mrežicami okoli sebe. Novica me je pretresla ker problematike enostavno ne jemljem dovolj osebno. Ne tiče se nas dokler se to ne dogaja na našem vrtu. Se nas še vedno ne tiče? Se tebe to še vedno ne tiče? Nihče ni popoln, tudi jaz sem ''plastično kriva'' v kakšnih situacijah. Na srečo me LUSH velikokrat opomni. Pereča tema plastike v oceanih skrbi tudi Lush, kjer so za ta namen ustvarili Turtle žele bombico. Z njo želijo poudariti nevarnost plastike, ki jo želve in ostala živa bitja zamenjajo za hrano. Želvica bo presenetila z vonjem ciprese in sandalovine, alge agar agar pa bodo gladino vode spremenile v nežen žele. Lushevi izdelki so danes že 40% nagi, v Milano pa se je nedavno odprla 1. LUSH trgovina z izdelki brez embalaže. Blizu, kajne? Prav tako ne pozabite menjati 5 praznih posodic (ki se vedno znova uporabijo) za čisto svežo obrazno masko!

Suggestions how to save yourself from plastic:

buy yourself a cute tote bag for the store
don't buy plastic straw, reconsider buying alternative metal straw
store Lush naked products in their metal containers
take advantage of beautiful glass water bottles and coffee cups
bring your snack in waxed eco-friendly paper - I'm highly impressed by Bee's Wrap. Beautiful, nice smelling and eco.

Nekaj mojih predlogov za manj plastike v vaših življenjih:

uporabljaj večkratne platnene vrečke za v trgovino (upam da je to že samoumevno),
ne kupuj slamic in zavračaj le-te v kavarni,
Lush ''nagce'' shranjuj v njihovih posodicah (jaz imam že tri),
umisli si stekleno stekleničko za vodo ali kavo,
malico si prinesi v službo v povoščenem papirju - ta Bee's Wrap me je nedavno navdušil!

I'm obviously going to ask the most obvious question: Do we look the same? She's my mom and there's no one in the world I would trust more than my mom and my sister. Girl power rules. We support each other, we critise each other, we love each other. Moms are always the first women we look up to so no wonder we take over and adapt beauty routine we've been watching and secretly admiring since childhood. I was thinking hard for a long time what I've learn from my dearest mom. And it's actually epilaton that's quite high on the ''Mom's beauty list''.

SLO

Seveda moram vprašati: Sva si kaj podobne? Ona je moja mama in na svetu ni osebe, kateri bi bolj zaupala kot svoji mami in sestri. To je tista ženska moč o kateri vsi govorijo. Med sabo se podpiramo, se odkrito kritiziramo. Mama je vedno tista prva ženska po kateri se sanjavo zgledujemo že v otroštvu in nič ni čudnega če posvojimo kakšen lepotni trik. Dolgo časa sem razmišljala kaj sem se jaz naučila od svoje ljube mame. Verjeli ali ne, med prvimi stvarmi sem pomislila tudi na epilacijo, ki je pomemben del lepotnega rituala moje mame.

Some of her ultimate beauty tips include:

Epilator is the best and easiest way to get rid of body hair for summer. Whenever I've heard that typical noise I knew legs were out. No kidding, her old epilator sounded like grass mower. Still I got fascinated by it's efficiency and no-trouble use in my teenage years. And that's how I'm still a firm believer of epilator until today. Today I'm using Braun Silk-epil 9 which has variety of options: using in the shower, doing a massage and exfoliation, trimming option. You can read more about it here.

Being a teenager I was feeling a lot more pain and uncomfort when using epilator. Mom always suggested a good scrub beforehand and using ice cubes to lower ''pain levels''.

Calendula butter everywhere , anytime, always. My mom is obsessed (in the greatest extent possible) with applying calendula butter on her face, legs and body. Even my grandma uses it religiously.

Oh, mascara. I was introduced to the best mascara in the world by my mom. And it was freakin' Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara that's still iconic to this day. The smell of that mascara and the dramatic effect is still up to date.

My mom taught me to always use high sun protection, at least 30+ or 50+ SPF since we both have lots of freckles and hyperpigmentation. An essential for skin like mine. Still, if I get sunburns I always hear her advice in my head: Bepanthol.

Brushing my teeth. Dental hygiene is a basic I can't skip out. It's the primary thing for being beautiful with a big smile. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can camouflage neglected teeth.

Nekaj njenih lepotnih nasvetov, ki so ostali z mano:

Epilator je najboljša in najbolj elegantna pot do lepe in gladke kože v poletnih mesecih. Kadarkoli sem zaslišala tisti značilen zvok epilatorja, sem vedela da se je odprla sezona golih nog. Ne hecam se, njen star epilator se je zaslišal kot kosilnica. Vseeno me je mamino početje fasciniralo, ker je tako z lahkoto uporabljala to stvarco. Tudi sama sem jo nato preizkusila na koži v mojih najstniških letih in od takrat naprej sem z mašinco več kot zadovoljna. Danes uporabljam Braun Silk-epil 9 ki ima ogromno dodatnih možnosti, katerih si prej niti predstavljati nisem mogla. Več o njih preberite tukaj.

Kot najstnica občutiš veliko več bolečine in dražljajev. Zato sem ob mojih začetkih z epilatorjem imela nekaj neprijetnih občutkov. Mami mi je vedno svetovala da pred epiliranjem opravim en dober piling in da kocke ledu vedno rešijo vsako malo bolečino.

Ognjičevo mazilo je zanjo religija. Vsak dan, kjerkoli, kadarkoli. Moja mami je obsedena z njim v najboljšem pomenu besede in si ga nanaša večkrat na dan. Kamorkoli, tudi na obraz in noge. Moram omeniti da je tudi babica nora nanj?

Prvo maskaro mi je predstavila mami. In to ni bila kar ena maskara ampak ikonična Max Factor 2000 Calorie maskara ki še danes sije med poplavo maskar. Goste trepalnice vam z njo ne uidejo.
- Sončna krema s SPF faktorjem 30 ali 50+ je obvezna oprema. Obe imava nagnjenost k hiperpigmentaciji in pegicam, zato sem še toliko bolj hvaležna njenemu poduku. Maziljenje po sončenju z bogato kremo je nuja. Če pa so prisotne opekline, mi v glavi vedno zazveni: Bepanthol.

Umivanje zob je osnova ki je ne smem izpustiti. To je osnova higiene in osnova lepega nasmeška. Nič, ampak res nič ne more prikriti zob brez redne higiene.

I would like to thank Braun for pushing me even further in my blog content and finally revealing a piece of my personal life.

Prav tako bi se rada zahvalila znamki Braun, ki je s skupnim sodelovanjem iz mene izvabila malo bolj osebno zgodbo.

Having a first, non-student job is stressful. My beauty routine quickly became condensed for early mornings so goodbye experiments, you'll have to wait until weekend. I finally see how cruical it is to have a solid array of makeup that serves well for 8+ hours. What's in my everyday drawer? Let's see.

SLO

Imam svojo prvo, pravcato ne-študentsko službo. In šele zdaj občutim pomanjkanje ur v samem dnevu. Kako zaboga bom zdaj preizkušala vse nove kose ličil (ki jih še vedno pridno dodajam)? Tedenska rotacija ličil včasih pomaga. Ampak raje podržim kakšne favorite malce dlje. Že več kot mesec ali dva ''zlorabljam'' ene in iste produkte...

Moisturiser, primer and a touch of foundation. That's it. If I want a bit of freshness and healthy looking skin, I add Artdeco Multi Stick 60 (15,95€ in Muller). It's a life saver but not the best in the humid weather. So I'm looking forward to autumn where I'll take the full advantage of it. Nevertheless, it performs beautifully as a natural blush and lipstick. Multi Sticks are in detail here. If I'm feeling especially fancy, I put on additional layer of Too Faced Sweetie Pie Bronzer (about 30€ in Sephora). Perfect for pale complexions and smells like peaches on dope. RMS Beauty Un-cover up Concealer 11 (about 40€ on Cultbeauty) - boy do I love this! It's totally organic but it makes my undereye area look fantastic. It covers all the blue hues while it moisturises and leaves a dewy finish. I think this is a staple, an organic staple.

Krema, primer in malo pudra. To je to, ne da se mi komplicirat. Če sem res dobre volje, najraje dodam še kanček Artdeco Multi Stick-a v odtenku 60 ker res lepo poudari in osveži lička. O Artdeco Multi Sticks sem že pisala tukaj, še posebej pa mi je ljub omenjen odtenek. V vročini kremni produkti niso najboljša izbira, zato se veselim jeseni. Artdeco Multi Stick 60 (15,95€ v Mullerju in na spletu) pride prekrasen na ličkih in ustnicah ter pusti malce satenast zaključek. Ko imam občutek nepremagljivosti, dodam še bronzer. Z bronzerjem je videti vsak obraz zdrav in svež, zato mi je prirasel k srcu. Too Faced Sweetie Pie Bronzer (okoli 30€ v Sephori) je ravno dovolj svetel in nevtralen, da ga uporabljam ne glede na moj ten kože. Tudi za zimo bo perfekten, vonj je pa legendaren - kremaste breskve s figo. Prve denarčke sem zapravila na RMS Un-cover up Concealer (okoli 40€ na Cultbeauty) in še danes mi ni žal niti centa. Korektor je božanski - kljub čudno organskim sestavinam. Lepo prekrije podočnjake, jih neguje s kokosovim oljem in pusti malce sijoč odsev. Ravno prav za suho kožo. Prav tako je odličen kot podlaga, moja nov naravni favorit.

We couldn't live without mascara, could we? I'm highly impressed with new Bourjois Eye Catching Mascara (about 14€ in drugstores and online). Cats got me sold but the lashes...lordy! They are long and eye catching indeed. If you hate spidery and noticeable lashes, skip this. Otherwise, you will love it. I also changed my perfume wardrobe. Lush Amelie Mae (25€ for 30ml, all Lush stores) smells like hot summer nights on meadow with your first perfume and your first love. It's innocent and youthful. Raspberries are ripe, roses are fresh and ylang ylang is pleasantly seductive. There's nothing similar but still the scent seems so familiar. I'm addicted. Talking about raspberries, it might be my new favourite fruit? I spontaneously picked up Hurraw Echium Raspberry Tinted Lip Balm and it's complimenting the scent. I like Hurraw, I like their healthy ingredients. This one in particular leaves a nice purple-pink stain that's visible with a few layers. Nothing dramatic but still great on working days.

Brez maskare mi živeti ni. In če jo nanašam, potem jo nanašam močno in veliko. Bourjois Eye Catching Maskara (okoli 14€ v DM in Muller poslovalnicah) me je prodala že z mucki in mačjo kampanjo, ampak prava vrednost je v njej. Formula je popolna za res vidne in zelo poudarjene trepalnice. Močno jih zgosti, hkrati pa jih malce podaljša. Če sovražite ''pajkast efekt'', potem tole ne bo za vas. Kdo bi se sploh lahko upiral poudarjenim trepalnicam? Jaz nimam omejitev, v kombinaciji s kakšno drugo maskaro je učinek božanski. Zamenjala sem tudi parfumsko garderobo. Iščem naravne alternative in Lush Amelie Mae(25€ za 30ml v Lush poslovalnicah in na spletu) me je že nekaj časa žgečkal po nosu in v mislih. Privoščila sem si ga brez slabe vesti ker je nekaj posebnega. Hkrati pa nekaj tako znanega iz otroštva. Jaz bi dišavo opisala kot poletno noč na travniku s prvim sladkim parfumom in prvo ljubeznijo. Sladke maline, sveža in mlada vrtnica ter nežno zapeljiv ylang ylang. Mene je dišava prevzela, pa ne maram vrtnice. Maline? Mogoče so moje novo najljubše sadje saj sem spotoma pobrala tudi Hurraw Echium Raspberry Obarvan balzam(5,50€ v Orci in na spletu) ki pristaja mojemu novemu dišavnemu stilu. Hurraw mi je že dolgo časa všeč, všeč mi je brezskrbna uporaba balzamov z naravnimi sestavinami. Ta pusti za bonus še malce roza barve ki je vseeno nežna in hranilna. Vse to za en olepšan delovni dan.

It's been several times when I started writing this blog post but stopped somewhere in the middle. Why? There's several reasons why. It's an usual thing in my case. Women. First of all, I feel I've said enough about Mon Guerlain in my previous post. It's so spectacular you need to try it on your own. The original Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum is sensual and feminine but still fierce and spicy upon discovering new layers of modern women. Second of all, there's a brand new Mon Guerlain Eau de Toilette on the market and I rather wouldn't redirect the spotlight on young Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Florale. It's not fair but it must be done on behalf of my signature summer Eau de Parfum.

SLO

S to objavo že odlašam kar nekaj časa. Zakaj? Lahko navedem več razlogov zakaj. Tipično zame. Tipično žensko. Občutek imam, da sem Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum dodobra opevala že v tej objavi (klik, klik). Dišava je tako spektakularna, da jo je težko razdrobiti le na nekaj not in s tem pokazati njeno veličastnost. Premišljeno kombiniranje not Guerlainovih mojstrov se ne more kašati z besedo, zato želim da dišavo preizkusite same. Izvorna Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum je senzualna in ženstvena ampak tudi odločna in začinjena pod plastmi. Drug razlog je tudi nova Mon Guerlain Eau de Toilette, kateri ne bi rada prevzela soj luči. V imenu moje poletne spremljevalke Mon Guerlain Eau de Parum Florale si vseeno drznem preusmeriti nekaj pozornosti tudi na njo.

While classic Mon Guerlain has a distinctive floriental base, Mon Guerlain Florale is like a playful bouquet of flowers. Let's not make a mistake. The heart of it is still sensuous and radiant but with a new ribbon around it, called peony. Peony has a delicate, feminine fresh aroma which makes this ''wild at heart'' Mon Guerlain wearable even in warmer months. I can easily see it being a fan favourite, maybe even surpassing the original Mon Guerlain? Since I don't fit into stereotypical group of floral lovers, I dare to say that Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum is still the highest bidder in my nose. There's something special around raw scent of Sambac jasmine, Carla lavender, Vanilla Tahitensis and Album sandalwood. However, if you prefer more of an innocent floral breath you might want to contradict me on this one.

Medtem ko ima originalna Mon Guerlain prepoznavno ''cvetlično-orientalsko'' bazo, je Mon Guerlain Florale proti njej veliko bolj igriva, sveža in cvetlična. Srce dišave je še vedno senzualen in sijoč, zunanjost pa ovija nov cvet dišave - potonika. Potonika ima občutljiv, nežen in svež vonj ki ustreza večini žensk. Tako so kultni vonj spremenili v lahkotno različico, ki je primerna v vseh letnih časih. Pravi recept za novo uspešnico, ki bo zadišal vsaki in mogoče celo presegel uspeh Mon Guerlain? Drznem si reči da je zame klasična Mon Guerlain še vedno zmagovalka, ker ne spadam med cvetlične ljubitelje dišav. Mon Guerlain ima zame nekaj posebnega, osnova surovih sestavin kot so Sambac jasmin, Carla sivka, vanilija Tahitensis in Album sandalovina je več kot odlična sama po sebi. Vendar če so vam všeč nedolžno cvetlične dišave, potem mi boste na tem mestu lahko z veseljem nasprotovali. Dišave Mon Guerlain lahko preizkusite v vseh poslovalnicah Muller, Beautique, Nama in Maxi.

There's only one affordable drugstore brand that makes my blood flow faster - Bourjois. It's my spiritual makeup brand and I easily blend with French chic looks I usually get with using their products. Bourjois products are always innovative, fun and quite chic. No crazy neon colours or weird textures, just makeup that makes you pretty from day to day. In fact, Bourjois lipsticks are my favourite just because they have wearable, everyday shades that suit every skintone (khm, even my pale face if I can say so).

Obstaja le ena drogerijska znamka, ki mi požene kri po žilah od navdušenja - Bourjois. To je moja spiritualna znamka ki mi nudi točno to, kar vedno pričakujem od ličil. Z lahkoto se poistovetim z francoskim ''chic'' videzom, ki ga nosim vsak dan. Bourjois je zabaven, inovativen in še kako ''šik''. Nič neon barv ali neuporabnih tekstur, vsi Bourjois izdelki naredijo točno to kar morajo - te narediti lepo. Bourjois šminke so izjemne in ene mojih najljubših. Odtenki so edinstveni ampak nosljivi za vsako priložnost. Več o njih si lahko pogledate v mojem videu.

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation review is one of my most read blog posts in history. But it's slightly outdated as Bourjois is always improving their formulas. Quite recently, I caught up with their new Bourjois Healthy Mix BB Cream which instantly became my favourite among Healthy Mix range. It has a medium coverage, creamier texture and a lovely satin finish. Can you tell any imperfections on my face? No, because this dandy little thing covered all my current issues - dry patches, a bit of uneven texture and even enlarged pores around nose. This is what I call a GOOD foundation. I've topped a bit of Healthy Mix Concealer on my under-eye area since yellow tone counteracts with my blue hue. And let's not forget about the Healthy Mix Blurring Primer - it's a cheaper alternative to Clarins Instant Beauty Flash balm. Skin looks polished in a second.

Ocena Bourjois Healthy Mix podlage (preberi tukaj) je eden mojih najbolj branih ocen na blogu. Kljub temu da je objava že malo starejša, Bourjois še vedno navdušuje s svojimi odličnimi podlagami. Nedavno sem preizkusila nekoliko novejšo Healthy Mix BB kremo, ki je takoj prekosila vse ostale. Ta BB krema ima srednjo prekrivnost, bolj kremasto teksturo in naraven satenast zaključek. Nič kaj ''BB-jevsko'' ampak boljše. Ali opazite nekaj mojih nepravilnosti na obrazu? Verjetno ne, ker jih ta super stvarca lepo zakrije. Trenutno imam suho kožo okoli nosu, malce povečane pore in neenakomerno teksturo na bradi. Temu rečem DOBRA podlaga. Seveda je k temu pripomogel tudi Bourjois Healthy Mix Blurring Primer kot cenejša alternativa Clarins Instant Beauty Flash Balm. Koža je takoj osvežena in bolj gladka. Na podočnjake pa sem nanesla rumenkast Healthy Mix Concealer, ki zakrije moje modre sence.

Another thing I want to mention are Bourjois Le Duo Blush - the iconic item from Bourjois. Le Duo Blushers are new to the line and have two sides of blush for more fun. You can mix them, you can contour and use them more than one way. I generally love them since they're compact, cute and smell like vintage makeup. My favourite? 01 Inseparoses of course. The gorgeous lipstick I'm wearing is Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick05, a muted coral red with grey tones. A really unique color to my collection that I couldn't find anywhere else. Formula is satin-matte, ultra comfy and really longlasting. My best bet for work. Last but not least is Bourjois Metal Edition 24h Eyeshadow 07 which looks great over any eyeshadow. You can easily apply it as a pop of colour on the eyelids or on lower lash line like I did.

Še ena novost je pri nas so Bourjois Le Duo Blush. To so ikonični izdelki znamke, ki se prenašajo iz generacij že desetletja. Le Duo Blush ima po novem dve strani, s katerimi se lahko poigrate pri ''draping'', konturiranju ličk z rdečilom. Meni so zelo všeč. Zakaj? Luštni, priročni in dišijo kot pravi ''vintage'' kosi ličil. Najljubši je najsvetlješi - 01 Inseparoses, katerega sem nanesla na lička. Verjetno niste niti opazile, ker nosim tako čudovito šminko. To je Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick 05 - svetlejša, zamolkla rdeča s hladnimi toni. Takšnega odtenka še do danes nisem našla med drugimi znamkami. Formula je satensto-mat, ultra obstojna in udobna. Moja stava za dolge delovne dni. Zadnja stvar je Bourjois Metal Edition 24h Eyeshadow 07 ki ima rustikalno zlat odsev. Čudovito se nanaša kot dodatek čez navadna senčila. Sama sem ga nanesla na spodnjo linijo oči za malce svetlikajočega odseva. Vse Bourjois izdelke pa z lahkoto najdete v DM in Muller poslovalnicah.

The crown has fallen. The queen lipstick was for a long time Bourjois Rouge Velvet Lipstick. Actually, it's pretty surprising that I'm so picky with crowning the best lipstick from our drugstores. The more I test, the more standards I acquire. I'm ruthless with lipstick - it has to have ALL! I'm proud to present you my new favourite drugstore lipstick - new Artdeco High Performance Lipstick. That sexy cashmere texture instantly caught my attention as I saw something familiar in it. Check! The texture is actually identical to highly expensive Pat McGrath that I had to order from US. Soft matte formula is super comfy and gives an illusion of bigger lips. Compared to Artdeco, there's only one difference. The price. At 13,95€ a piece I can't really complain. Plus you can skip all the hassle when ordering online.

Krono za najboljšo šminko nerada predam. V mojem kotičku se menja precej šmink, vendar so krono zmagoslavja dolgo časa obdržale Bourjois šminke (poglej si jih tukaj). Ravno zaradi dolgoletnega zbiranja in preizkušanja šmink sem do njih neusmiljena - imeti mora VSE! S ponosom vam predstavljam nove kraljice na našem trgu - Artdeco High Performance Šminke. Formulo sem celo primerjala s Pat McGrath šminkami, ki so trenutno ''najboljše mat šminke na svetu'' in jih je težko dobiti v Slovenijo (razen če ste pripravljeni odšteti 50€+). Ista mazljiva formula in isti zaključek na ustnicah je nepremagljiv, saj nežna mat formula subtilno poveča obliko ustnic. Za slabih 13,95€ je to pravcato zmagoslavje, Artdeco pa z lahkoto najdeš na policah Name, Maxija, Mullerja in Tuš drogerije. Naredi si uslugo in preizkusi vsaj eno.

Artdeco High Performance Lipstick 724 Mat Terracotta

Artdeco High Performance Lipstick 762 Mat grape juice

Velvet texture is perfection. It's perfect for all of us who hate the drying effect of liquid lips. Artdeco High Performance Lipstick are extremely comfortable and similar to satin finish. But that doesn't mean they're not efficient. They're highly pigmented and creamy while the texture doesn't move on the lips. Pretty much, they're highly attractive with one swatch. All 4 colors smell like vanilla and are fall-ready. Crossing my fingers for more new colors - check, please!

Kosmata in žametna formula je popolna za vse, ki sovražite suho formulo tekočih šmink. Artdeco High Performance Šminke so izjemno udobne, veliko bolj podobne satenasti formuli. Mazljivost in močen pigment pa jih naredi neustavljivo privlačne z enim potegom. Barva se obdrži na mestu, s tem pa rdeč odtenek ne bo več vzbujal strahu. Vsi štirje odtenki dišijo po vaniliji in so popolni za slikovito jesen. Držim pesti da formula ostane v redni liniji - še nekaj odtenkov, prosim!

You might be thinking I'm slowly turning into a quirky LUSH lady but the reality is - I've just wanted to find a way to indulge Lush in another way than simply watching their bath bombs on display (and wishing I had a bath tub too). You, bath bomb lovers, can laugh all you want. I will comfort my sorrow in Lush perfumes and shower gels. I'm beginning to master my Lush scents. Seriously. Ever since Amelie Mae (read about it here) became my summer jam, I'm actually realising how much I've been missing out - not trying Lush perfumes beforehand. If you're a Lushie you most definitely need to find your favourite Lush scent! It's an obligatory step you need to take. But can you really bond to only one scent when there's so much colourfulness that suits different moods?

SLO

Mogoče se vam zdim že kot pokvarjena LUSH plošča, ampak po resnici? Želela sem raziskati še Lush parfume ker se samo slinim ob njihovih kopalnih kroglicah - ki ne pridejo v upoštev pri meni doma. Kopalnica brez bane je prekletstvo. Svojo žalost bom zlila na svojo kožo v obliki Lush stekleničk. S tem pa postajam pravi mali mojster Lush dišav. Ugotavljam kaj mi je všeč in kaj ne. Kakšen je moj karakter, kaj je moj dišavni podpis in kakšen vtis želim pustiti. Lush dišave so več kot barvne lestvice vonjev, pustijo močen pečat ravno zaradi nenavadnih mešanic, ki so daleč stran od generičnih poizkusov. Po poletni romanci z Amelie Mae (preberi tukaj) sem še bolj zaljubljena v čarovnije Lusha. Ko enkrat postaneš pravi Lushie, je raziskovanje svoje Lush identitete zabaven proces. Vprašanje je le, ali se lahko odločiš le za en vonj v mavrici dišav?

First of all, we need to clear something out. If I had the possibility to choose one general Lush scent and put it into a flask I would choose Honey I washed the Kids or It's Raining Men shower gel. Simply like that. I'm a sweet person that appreciates cozy and warmhearted notes. Honey is sweet but also bitter and more complex than meets the nose.
Vanillary (30g for 25€ in Lush stores) also in a body spray version, hint hint) will be everybody's sweetheart. I can't even imagine the possibility of not liking true vanilla scent. This is exactly IT. A true seductive vanilla notes, kind of sugary but still balanced with comforting tonka and a touch of jasmine. The scent is truly scrumptious like Lush claims. It's not girly at all - it's a grown up perfume with sweet character.
I'm Home (30g for 35€ in Lush stores) has character. Soft sweet character but a strong one. It's mocha coffee topped with caramel topping if I'm more precise. By all means, don't expect a straight forward chocolate but a smokey and rich version of Lush tonka. Do you see the pattern here? I obviously have a soft spot for tonka. Soft scarfs and warm jumpers, here I come!

Še prej pa moramo nekaj razčistiti. Če bi lahko, ČE bi obstajala možnost, da bi lahko izbrala svoj Lush ustekleničen vonj, bi zagotovo to bil Honey I washed the kids (ali It's Raining Men gel za tuširanje). Na jesen imam rada sladke, tople note ki pa so kljub temu malce prizemljene. Med je sladek in tudi grenek, veliko kompleksnejši v plasteh kot na prvo žogo.
Vanillary (30g za 25€ na Lush spletni strani; zdaj tudi v body spray verziji, juhu!) bo všeč vsaki in vsakemu. Ustrežljiv vonj prave vanilije bo kar lepil ljudi na tebe. Vanilija, ki je lepo uravnovešena z jasminom, ni nič kaj podobna dekliškim parfumom. Nasprotno, ravno kombinacija jasmina in tonke poudari čutnost hkrati pa doda nežen pudrast pridih. Kljub temu pa še najbolj sladkast v kolekciji Lush parfumov.
I'm Home (30g za 35€ na Lush spletni strani) ima mehek a močen karakter. Je kot skodelica moka kave, na katero se doda topel karamelni obliv. Vseeno ne pričakujte pravega vonja čokolade, saj je I'm Home umirjen z zadimljenim tonom smole in tonke. Ste že mogoče zaznali vzorec? Več kot očitno mi je pri srcu tonka. Topli šali in ogromni puloverji, prihajam!

Pa še nekaj! Lush parfumi imajo različne cene ravno zaradi vsebine in cen samih surovin, ki jih premišljeno dodajo v vsako dišavo. In še ekstra bonus točke? Dišave niso testirane na živalih, so dokaj naravno bazirane in držijo ves dan na koži in oblačilih. Kolikokrat se mi je že zgodilo, da sem tekom dneva zavohala samo sebe in spraševala sodelavke po novem parfumu, hihi.

No bath, no problem. In fact, it's the most colorful LUSH Christmas season for no-bath Lushies thus far. What are my and Chubby's spot-on favourites?

The one who loves long showers

You won't leave Lush store empty handed if your fav person (or you) loves warm showers. A rainbow of famous Snow fairy, spicy Cinders, calming Sleepy and uplifting Ectoplasm in both, naked and bottle version, are perfect to experience a new dimension of showering. Snow Fairy is my personal bubblegum sweetheart, while Cinders is straight-up runner because of warming cinnamon scent. Sleepy is a typical sweet lavender - for those who can't sleep. Another thing I've noticed is that the naked versions are quite creamy in texture so be careful with storing. Still they act totally same as the bottled ones, you just save planet from another plastic bottle or two.

Nimaš bane, nimaš problema. Letošnja LUSH božična kolekcija je polna mavrica dišečih pripomočkov za pod tuš. Kateri so moji in Čabijevi najljubši izdelki sezone? Dodajam nekaj predlogov za darila in malo svojega skromnega mnenja glede novih Lushevih božičnih izdelkov.

Za tiste ki obožujejo dolga tuširanja

Brez skrbi, iz Lush trgovine ne boste odšli praznih rok če vaša ljubljena oseba (ali vi) obožujete dolga, vroča tuširanja. Mavrica nagcev za tuširanje Snow Fairy, začimbnega Cinders, nežnega Sleepy in poživljajočega Ectoplasm bo pričarala novo izkušnjo pod tušem. Le odločiti se je treba za najljubši vonj. V času božiča mi vedno prija razigrana Snow Fairy ki diši po sladkorni peni, obenem pa sem očarana nad Cinders, cimet in eksotična pomaranča v enem. Sleepy s sivko ni ravno moj najljubši, ampak je lahko lepo darilo za vse nespečne. Prav tako sem opazila, da so nagci letos res mehki in kremni zato pazite kako jih shranjujete. Obnašajo se popolnoma enako kot verzije v plastičnih stekleničkah, le da naravi prihranite plastiko ali dve.

The one who has ultra soft skin

You can't go wrong with naked body conditioners. It's a fun concept to use body conditioner in your shower. After rinsing, you're ready to jump into fresh new PJ's without feeling sticky. Last year I've triedBuck's Fizz(really similar to Cinders, zesty but spicy) and it turned out to be a quick fix for my dry skin. Along with Buck's Fizz you can choose between Christingle, a fresh minty turquoise, and (obviously) Snow Fairy, pink bubblegum goodness. But that's not where it ends. Lush Sparkle Jars are versatile massage bars with subtle sparkles inside of them. Gingerbread Man, Twilight and Snow Fairy will make you feel moisturised but not overly sticky since powder matifies the skin. Handy dandy thing for that special time with loved person.

The one who adores chocolate pudding

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. That's how girls roll. The most scrumptious chocolate pudding scent has definitely Rudolph Face mask. Basically you will want to eat it everytime it's on your face. Seriously, it's that good. Don't worry, it's a type of face mask that will diminish your breakouts not make them. Another one is Butterbear Shower Jelly with captivating cocoa scent that's creamy and vanilla like.

Za tiste ki imajo vedno mehko kožo

Z balzami za telo enostavno ne morete zgrešiti. Lahko so zelo inovativno darilo, saj je koncept res nekaj posebnega v primerjavi s klasičnimi losjoni za telo. Balzam za telo enostavno uporabite kar pod tušem in ga nato sperete z vodo. S tem se izognete mastnemu občutku in lepljivosti, sveža pižama pa se ne bo moteče lepila na vas. Lani sem preizkušala slasten Buck's Fizz, mešanico sladkih citrusov in začimb, letos imam mentolast Christingle. Ja, tudi Snow Fairy je v tej obliki, brez skrbi. Ampak tukaj se zgodba ne konča. Če vas z balzami nisem prepričala, potem je za ljubeče pare popolna Lush masažna ploščica s pudrom. Z njo se lahko masirate, puder pa bo olje ploščice po nežni negi malce matiral. Pa še pripravljeni boste za zabavo! Gingerbread Man ima nežen vonj po piškotih, Twilight pa je zaradi sivke odličen pred spanjem.

Za tiste ki obožujejo čokoladni puding

Čokolada, čokolada, čokolada. To je glavno vodilo in motivacija vsake punce. Letos boste še posebej presenečeni nad čokoladnim vonjem nove maske za obraz. Lush Rudolph Maska za obraz diši kot čokoladni puding, ki bi ga želeli takoj pojesti z obraza. Brez skrbi, to je maska ki bo preprečila mozolje, ne pa jih naredila. Božansko diši tudi Butterbear Žele za tuširanje. Je nežnejša verzija kakava in kremaste vanilije.

The one who dances on strawberry fields forever

Hippie vibes or you just love strawberries? Strawberry Santa Soap is match made in heaven for all who love strawberries. It has an addictive scent that will last for days in your bathroom. Cocoa butter adds creaminess so I could totally imagine it being used in shower too. A soap that's gentle and sweet. Another favourite is Satsuma, a fresh chinese orange soap.

Za tiste ki plešejo po poljih jagod

Hipi vibracije ali ima rada le jagode? Lush Strawberry Santa milo je božanska kombinacija svežih jagod in kakavovega masla. Milo z velikim M. Kopalnica bo dišala še tedne s tem majhnim palčkom. Stepeni del pa bo kožo tudi malo nahranil zato ga sama z veseljem uporabljam tudi pod tušem. Poleg Strawberry Santa mi je v oči padla tudi Satsuma, energično milo v obliki kitajskega citrusa.

How would you define cactus scent? I wouldn't say that cactus has any particular scent. In fact I'm not even sure if I ever smelled one. Which makes The Body Shopchoice of spring scent even weirder. Cactus sounds itchy and scratchy but don't get easily terrified by the sound of it. Cactus Blossom is one of the nicest smelling line from their floral-fruity scent family. It's that kind of scent you can't easily get bored of. It's zesty floral but still neutral. Do you know aloe vera? Kind of the same with a mixture of lime and peony.
Cactus Blossom Shower geland Exfoliating Gel Body Scrub have pretty standard TBS formulation. Shower gel is your typical shower equipment (but the scent lasts quite long on the skin), while Body Scrub has biodegreadable raspberry seeds and extra honey. Body Scrub could be a little more rough for the skin-out season. My favourite is Cactus Blossom Body Butter since it softens skin with shea and cocoa butter while the veil of floral scent lasts entire day. I really like it. It's non-offensive and light enough in texture so you're not sticking to everything.

If you're up for some cruelty-free or vegan cosmetics and pretty neutral spring scent, The Body Shop got you covered.

Kako kaktus sploh diši? Tudi jaz ne vem, vendar se ne sliši nič kaj nežno. The Body Shop je tvegal in izbira se je obrestovala. Cactus Blossom ima nevsiljiv vonj, ki spominja na aloe vero, potoniko in malo limete. Nevtralen vonj, ki se ga ne naveličaš v prvem tednu. Ko nakupujem v The Body Shop, najraje izberem nevtralne vonje ravno iz tega razloga. Kričeči vonji me odbijajo, sploh če se mešajo z mojim parfumom. Moram dodati, da je moja najljubša meglica za telo Moringa?

Cactus Blossom gel za tuširanje je klasičen tuš pomočnik, medtem ko je Cactus Blossom piling za teloobogaten z medom. Piling je podoben želeju in mi je osebno premalo grob za ''gole-noge'' sezono. Piling delci so semena malin, zato so prijazni okolju. Presenetilo me je dejstvo, da se vonj po tuširanju dobro obdrži kar nekaj dodatnih ur. Moje najljubše je ikonično Cactus Blossom maslo za telo, ki je bogato s karitejevim maslom. Kljub temu ima manj mastno teksturo, ki se ne lepi na oblačila. Zares nežen vonj aloe vere z limeto me nevidno spremlja skozi dan. Celotna linija je obogatena z izvlečkom kaktusovega cveta iz Maroka, ki da značilen svež vonj. The Body Shop ne testira na živalih in je pionir le-tega, kar mi osebno ogromno pomeni pri mojem prehodu na ''cruelty-free'' kozmetiko. Če pa iščeš nežen vonj za pomlad, potem TBS pokriva tvoje želje. The Body Shop izdelke zlahka najdete na spletu, v Supernovi Rudnik in Europarku Maribor.

Uh oh, I haven't updated you with my book progress for a really long time. I feel kinda guilty simply because I've had some nice classic gems in my hands. If I start with the whole J.K. Rowling thing, I've enjoyed her Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. Even though it's written as a script. You actually get used to it quite quickly and the story plot just glides effortleslly. I really liked it, it's not too much and not too little. It has some hidden magical secrets that keep you going until the end. Speaking about Rowling, the first part of Harry Potter was in my hands for the third time. Just because of the beautiful illustrated art work that made a whole new perspective to the book. This is easily a piece of art that shouldn't be missing in fan collection. I adore it and I go through illustrations many times when I feel down.

Ojoj, o knjigah se že nismo pogovarjali kar nekaj časa. Pogrešala sem to, vendar mi čas ni dopuščal da bi brala več kot si želim. Vendarle pa sem uspela zaključiti nekaj dobrih knjig, ki so vredne branja. Z J.K. Rowling ne moreš nikoli zgrešiti, zato sem se lotila knjige Magične živali. Priznam, zapis v obliki scenarija mi na začetku ni bil pri srcu in mi je deloval potratno. Vendar sem se zapisa hitro navadila in knjiga je drsela kot svila pod mojimi očmi. Knjiga je res prijetna za branje in jo boste končali v zelo kratkem času. Ima ravno dovolj zanimivih elementov, hkrati pa osrednjo zgodbo, ki takoj pritegne. Nikakor ni cenena kopija Harry Potterja, jaz sem v njej tako uživala, da sem pogledala še film. Ko že ravno pišem o Harryju Potterju, novejša ilustrirana verzija prve knjige Kamen modrosti je veličastna. Ilustracije dodajo novo dimenzijo in je prava majhna umetnina. Večkrat jo vzamem v roke in jo občudujem (khm,weirdo).

Love me some adult fantasy and A darker shade of magic by V.E. Schwab was on my obligatory list-to-read. It's where you should start your fantasy journey. Comparing it to Sanderson books, I was a bit let down. I have to be honest, I was expecting more action and unpredictable events that would match up on the end. Instead, I got a pretty average story about a magician and badass woman who turn around the system of several worlds. Honestly, the plot didn't even stick to me. But I've read it pretty fast so it's a nice overal read. I'm not sure if I will continue with other books in this series. Maybe I just got spoilt by brilliant work of Sanderson.

Najljubše so mi fantazijske knjige in A darker shade of magic od V.E. Schwab je vsekakor dober uvod v ta žanr. Z njo se potovanje začne. Vendar je moj vrstni red branja malo zamešal stvari. Najprej sem prebrala celo trilogijo The Mistborn od Sandersona in ta je pustila velik pečat na meni. Nekako se A darker shade of magic ne more kosati z vznemirljivostjo prejšnje trilogije. Knjiga se mi je malo vlekla, zgodba pa je dokaj klasična. O moškem s čarobno močjo in potepuški ženski, ki se dobro znajde v vsaki situaciji. Zgodba se odvija v Londonu, kjer obstajajo 4 vzporedni svetovi. Koncept je zelo zanimiv, vendar me je osnovna zgodba malo izgubila. Ne vem če bom nadaljevala to serijo knjig. Mogoče me je Sanderson le malo razvadil, bom še prej posegla po njegovih knjigah (na listi želja imam Elantris in Steelheart).

I've finally finished a trilogy that I've started in my childhood, His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman. It's a lot more serious and complicated when you deep dive into last two books. Northern Lights is a really cheerful and easy-going part while it gets darker and darker with the end. I really enjoyed it although I still have to process ideas and secret meanings in this one. It's quite critical to society and it reflects inner emotions people through daemons. I will totally re-read this one in the future, it left me with a lot of questions open.

Končno sem dokončala kultno trilogijo Njegova temna tvar od Phillipa Pullmana. Verjetno vsi najbolje poznate Severni sij, prvi del serije. Vendar se zgodba zaplete in postane veliko temačnejša z zadnjo knjigo. Trilogija ni namenjena le mlajši populaciji (kakor jo ponavadi razvrščajo v knjižnicah), ampak je odraslo čtivo in mi še zdaj buri misli. Ker jo imam v angleščini jo je bilo malce težje brati, zato priporočam izvode v slovenščini. Vsekakor jo bom še enkrat prebrala ko bom imela dovolj časa za sproten premislek, saj vsebuje zgodba ogromno družbenih vprašanj in skritih pomenov. Res priporočam branje.

Sometimes I get really bad sugar cravings and at those times, I turn to Whole Food Energy by Elise Museles (I didn't know she's a blogger until now, wow). Because it's easy to get some wonderful ideas for healthy sweet treats. Not only sweet, there's inspiration for salty office snacks, busy on-the-go treats and healthy smoothies. Majority of the recipes are vegan and made from scratch.

Nisem si mislila da bom tolikokrat uporabila Energijo na polno (napisala jo je blogerka Elise Museles), vendar pride prav ko želim zdrav in hiter posladek. Najboljše je ravno to, da so v njej združeni ''simpl'' recepti za sladke in slane prigrizke, ki so narejeni iz osnovnih živil v vsaki kuhinji. Večinoma so uporabljene zdrave sestavine kot so oreščki, suho sadje, kokosova moka. V njej so tudi ideje smutijev, ploščic, granol in namazov, ki večinoma temeljijo na veganski osnovi. Najraje uporabljam recept za granolo in recept za čokoladne kroglice, njam!

My upcoming Summer reads?
I've got some great finds that I didn't manage to read last year. But certainly I will read them this year. I'm talking about last year's hit from Rosie Walsh, The Man who didn't Call, which was a big hit for my mom. She truly enjoyed the mystery love story. I'm also planning to read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this one is on my top list. Supposedly a cult classic about war, love, poverty, death in a city of Latin America. Sounds super interesting especially since I enjoyed similar story from The Muse. Let's not forget my ultimate summer books by Elena Ferrante. Her stories about raw women relationships are seductive, I can't wait to dig into the third part Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay of Neapolitan Novels. If you like to explore relationships and emotions, you will love her description of quite normal life events in Italy. Of course there's also The Bear and the Nightgale (folk inspired story) and A Court of Thorns and Roses (fantasy) that I want to read. Let's have fingers crossed I will manage to read all of them or more.

Moj izbor za poletno branje?
Odkrito, ga še nimam čisto izpiljenega. Vsekakor bom dokončala O tistih, ki bežijo in o tistih, ki ostajajo od Elene Ferrante. Trenutno zopet požiram njen 3.del in vem, da jo bom hitro končala. Zgodba se tekoče razvija, osebe in čustva v knjigah pa delujejo živo. Obožujem jo. Nato bom verjetno nadaljevala z lansko uspešnico Moški, ki ni poklical. Moja mami jo je lani dobesedno pojedla v nekaj dneh in jo še zdaj velikokrat pohvali, saj zna knjiga razburiti z napeto zgodbo. Prav tako še imam na spisku Sto let samote od Gabriela Garcie Marquez, ki je nedavno prišla k nam v slovenščini. Zgodba mi že na daleč diši po uspehu, saj vsebuje elemente zgodovine Latinske Amerike, vojne, ljubezni, družine. Je ena izmed tistih, ki se jih izredno veselim prijeti v roke (držim pesti da bo vsaj podobna The Muse). In ne smem pozabiti na moji angleški verziji The Bear and the Nightgale(folk zgodba z elementi narave) in A Court of Thorns and Roses(fantazijska fikcija), katere sem zasledila pri tujih bralkah. Zdaj pa držite pesti da preberem vse ali še več. Kaj pa mi ti priporočaš za branje?

I've been updated with beauty bits for almost a decade and I felt pretty safe to say I'm a small beauty enthusiast that knows too much. However, since I've started to venture into clean beauty world, I felt lost. Totally lost. It's like opening doors to an undiscovered pandora box. Where to start, what are the best basics and where to find them? I struggled with same questions I usually get asked. One of the first things I came across in clean beauty department was Petit Vour. A pink subscription box that contains only best cruelty-free, vegan and non-toxic products. From makeup, skincare to bodycare and haircare. The best part is the affordability and worldwide shipping...

Petit Vour costs 25$ including worldwide shipping which is a total steal when you'll see the content. It usually comes with one full size product and 3 mini deluxe samples (some of them are honestly full size too). My first box is from July and I couldn't be more happier with it. Clean products (aka not harmful to your body, natural and safe to use) are already incorporated into my skincare routine.

In Petit Vour July 2019 Beauty box I got three samples of clean skincare. Kalos After Hours Soothing Night Cream was a nice surprise to my routine, it's potent but soothing. It locks in moisture and give a fresh appearance to my skin in the morning. I love to pair it with my Fushi Passion Seed Oil. I was especially pleasantly surprised by French Girl Organics Lait de Rose Vitamin C Polishing Wash, a big name in clean beauty world. This polishing wash is everything! I love it so much. It brightens and tightens with antioxidants, vitamin C, amino acids. It's an enzymatic and physical exfoliator made out of bamboo powder and willow bark. I definitely need to try more from this beautiful brand. Last skincare bit is Ursa Major Bright & Easy 3-minute Flash Mask. It's a jelly mask packed with enzymes and my dry skin welcomes it open-handed. Nice feature but nothing spectacular.

I got the base products for my makeup, which makes me utterly happy. I never owned an eye primer that is safe, natural and clean. Terre Mere Smudge-Proof Anti-aging Eye Shadow Base is not only working as it should, it also contains hyaluronic acid and prevents fine lines. I have hooded eyes and this primer 100% works on me. Eyeshadows are vibrant and don't crease on me. Plus it has a yellow tinge so it counteracts with my blue hint on the eyelids. Antonym Natural Eye Pencil Noir black works well as any other generic pencil. It's surprisingly soft so I like to smudge it along my eyelash line.

I was never putting a lot of attention to clay. It was usually in my harsh acne-skin products (which were a big failure btw) and I always felt clay is not the best choice for my dry skin. However, ever since I've been sick and I've been rediscovering different treatments to boost up immune system, I came across clay a lot, a lot of times. Heck, it's perfect to re-boost back your health only by drinking it. And it has a lot of helpful minerals for your body. Why not trying it also on my face then?

Nikoli nisem veliko razmišljala o glini. Je pač bila tam nekje, glino pa so ponavadi vsebovali moji najbolj agresivni čistilci za aknasto kožo v najstniškem obdobju (slaba, slaba ideja). Glino sem vedno povezovala z izsušitvijo moje suhe kože, zato sem se je izogibala. Dokler nisem prišla do točke, ko sem zbolela. Odkrivala sem različne naravne načine za povišanje mojega imunskega sistema in glej ga zlomka, pitje gline dejansko pomaga pri čiščenju in regeneraciji telesa. Glina vsebuje ogromno mineralov, ki jih telo potrebuje za normalno delovanje (poleg vseh probiotikov in vitaminskih dodatkov). Če je dovolj dobra za notranjnost, zakaj ne bi preizkusila gline tudi na obrazu?

I'm not talking about generic clay skincare that is targeted for acne but rather about pure clay without any chemical or harsh additives. Clay Ritual, Slovenian family company, uses clay as a base for all skincare necessities in our bathroom. There's dry shampoo, clay cream, clay shampoo, etc. But why not start at the beginning right? I dug my fingers into Clay Ritual Grey clay mask, which is natural clay powder that you can mix with water. Actually, all her products are vegan and cruelty-free, hurray. For once, I had pleasant experience with a clay mask on my dry skin. It tugs when it dries but the skin afterwards still feels soft and moist.

Ne govorim o glinenih maskah za problematično kožo, ki vsebujejo ogromno nevarnih kemikalij. Jaz sem preizkušala čisto zmes gline iz Glina.si, ki ima izpopolnjeno linijo izdelkov iz gline. Najdete lahko naravni šampon, suhi šampon z glino, kremo z glino in še in še. Jaz sem začela pri osnovi, preizkusila sem Clay Ritual glineno masko za obraz, ki ni samo lepa embalaža. Čist glinen prah lahko mešate z vodo za obrazno masko na tisoče načinov in sami dodajate sveže sestavine. Meni je všeč ravno zaradi dejstva, da moje suhe kože ne izsuši. Res je, da maska malce zateguje ko se suši, vendar je po ''maskanju'' koža čista in mehka. Včasih jo zmešam celo z žličko medu. Lonček verjetno zadostuje za več kot 20 nanosov. Clay Ritual glineno masko enostavno naročite s Glina.si, kmalu pa jo boste našli tudi na policah Lidl-a. Jaz jih večkrat opazim tudi v večini bio trgovin. Vsi Clay Ritual izdelki so veganski in niso testirani na živalih.

Clay tooth powder is another story. I wasn't totally sure how to use it at first but I became friends with it. I like to use it in the morning since I still want to use regular tooth paste with flouride to protect my teeth from caries. The clay powder also has xylitol, mint leaf and sage leaf which are great for your gums (as my sister dental hygienist told me). Also, extra minerals from clay will absorb through your gums, at least in my logical thinking. Win win, I only recommend using extra flouride.

Clay Ritual Glineni zobni prah je druga zgodba. Z njim se nisem najbolje ujela na začetku, saj sem ga morala dodobra spoznati. Moja sestra, zobni higienik, mi vedno poudarja kako je pomemben flourid za zaščito zob. Edini problem, ki sem ga imela s tem zobnim prahom, je ravno pomanjkanje flourida v izdelku. Zobni glineni prah ga namreč ne vsebuje, zato ga vključujem v rutino zjutraj. Ker vsebuje xylitol in žajbelj, je prah odličen za preprečevanje bolezni dlesni (to me je podučila sestra). Preko dlesni (mehkega tkiva) pa lahko pridobimo tudi nekaj dodatnih mineralov iz gline, vsaj po moji logiki. Toplo priporočam dodatno uporabo zobne kreme s flouridom za zaščito zob, glinen zobni prah pa bo poskrbel za zadovoljne dlesni.

I'm pretty sure you have at least 5 lipbalms rolling around in your handbag if you're reading this blog. I know I have. But is a lipbalm just a bad habit? I've been paranoid with ingredients since the day I had problems with my health. And if you think a little further, mouth is, indeed, the closest way to ingesting harmful chemicals.

SLO

Imam več kot 5 balzamov za ustnice. Če bereš moj blog, verjamem, da jih imaš vsaj toliko tudi ti. Verjetno se ti po torbici skrivajo kar trije naenkrat. Je nanašanje balzama za ustnice res slaba navada? Zadnje čase je to kar vroča tema in priznam da imam pomisleke tudi jaz. Ko pride do balzamov za ustnice sem velik ''snob'' in pregledam vsak seznam sestavin. Ne rabim hormonskih motilcev, umetnih polnil in konzervansov. Usta so najhitrejša pot do zaužitja, zato se z balzami za ustnice ne hecam.

Women can swallow bits of lipsticks, lipbalms and lipgloss unintentionally. While the number is not as high as it was proposed in the media years ago (talking about kilos), it's still a bit terrifying to use lip products that have bad ingredients. But what are bad ingredients?

Every person would point out different chemicals they don't want in lip products. For me personally, I've been avoiding everything I don't know how to pronounce in my classic lipbalm. Okay, I close one eye on the lipsticks but I'm doing a change to clean beauty in that department too. It may seem a bit drastic but there's so many good organic, natural lipbalms on the market that I honestly don't feel switching back to Carmex or Labello. Ironically, generic lipbalms can make your lips addicted to their ingredients. And it forms a psychological habit to apply lipbalm. Interesting. While I don't see a great deal in forming a habit to combat your inner stress or anxiety, the true enemy here are harmful ingredients. The more you use them, the more chance of getting negative impact. I would avoid all toxic substances and carcinogens like mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons, parabens in general, BHA. Lanolin, vaseline or benzocaine are not my friends either as they can cause different skin reactions on some people. Here's your common sense to decide.

Ženske po statistiki zaužijemo kar nekaj šminke in balzamov, številke so tudi v kilogramih. Verjetno številka ni tako ogromna v povprečju, vendar še zdaleč ni nedolžna zadeva. Če pa v to navržemo škodljive sestavine, potem pa je to zaskrbljujoč podatek. Kaj pa so slabe/škodljive sestavine?
Vsaka oseba bi mi verjetno izpostavila različne sestavine. Odvisno kaj kdo dojema kot škodljivo. Jaz se držim najbolj enostavnega načela. Če sestavine ne morem izgovoriti ali sploh ne poznam, ne gre v mojo negovalno rutino. Sploh pa ne v obliki balzama za ustnice, pri šminkah še zamižim na eno oko. Pa tudi tukaj delam počasno ''čistko'' na naravne alternative. Kar se tiče balzamov za ustnice, mi je odveč kupiti Carmex ali Labello. Imamo ogromno ponudbo naravnih balzamov za ustnice in se mi zdi ironično preklapljati na generične balzame, s katerimi postanejo ustnice odvisne in s tem izgubijo lastno sposobnost vlaženja. Ampak me vedno znova preseneti ko me povprašate po izdelkih, ki sem jih že izključila iz uporabe. Mogoče smo pa res premalo podkovani na tem področju. Potem je tukaj še drug, psihološki aspekt ''mazanja'' ustnic. Mene ne skrbi psihološka navada mazanja ustnic, s katerim zmanjšamo stres ali anksioznost. Skrbi me bolj sestavinski vidik. Če nanašamo balzam s vprašljivimi sestavinami veliko prepogosto, kaj se zgodi takrat? Med vprašljive sestavine (ki so lahko tudi kancerogene) spadajo mineralna olja, parabeni, BHA in drugi. Lanolin, vazelin in benzocaine mi prav tako ne dišijo, nekateri pa poročajo tudi o kožnih reakcijah. Študije si nasprotujejo, vendar mi zdrava kmečka pamet govori bolje ''brez'' kot ''s''.

Buy local, natural products and you'll be perfectly fine. For extra safety, check ingredients on products you use. Don't rely on false claims of brands, they just want one thing. Be a conscious consumer, learn and support what really benefits you. Lips need just a little bit moisture and oil for protection but generally your body knows how to adjust. Lipbalms from health/organic stores are my number one choice. I also got inspired by newly released Butters Lip Butter since it contains only cupuacu seed butter, coconut oil, almond oil and bee wax. Yummy flavours like honey-vanilla, mixed berries and cinnamon cookie come from edible aromas we usually find in food. Although is hard to decide, my favourite is mixed berries. Really scrumptious scent after forest berries with a bit of acidity and sweetness. Oh, there's another interesting fact! The base of the product is cupuacu seed butter which hydrates skin 200% better than lanolin (which is actually made out of sheep's wool). They are organic, cruelty-free, eco-friendly and made in Slovenia - english site here. I also added some pics of my hard-working Chubby, he's always up for a photo shooting. I know you want to see him after a long time, he's my ultimate helper.

Kupuj lokalno, uporabljaj naravno in bo čisto OK. Podobno kot pri hrani. Poglej sestavine na izdelkih ki jih kupuješ. Ne zanašaj se na obljube znamk, preverjaj in raziskuj. Bodi zaveden kupec ki se zaveda kaj je dobro zanj. Ustnice ne potrebujejo ničesar več kot dodatno vlaženje in malce zaščite, saj se tvoje telo zna prilagoditi. Jaz najraje nakupujem balzame v bio trgovinah, pred kratkim pa so me navdihnili Butters Lip Butter balzami za ustnice ki vsebujejo le cupuacu maslo, kokosovo olje, mandljevo olje in čebelji vosek. Cupuacu je iz družine kakavovca in je izredno dober vlažilec. V primerjavi z lanolinom (ki je izdelan iz ovčje volne) vlaži kožo kar 200% bolje. Lip Butter-ji dišijo po medu-vaniliji, Speculaas piškotih in gozdnih sadežih. Uporabljajo se jedilne arome, katere najdete v hrani. Izredno težko se odločim za najljubšega (ker so vsi za pojest) vendar bi izbrala gozdne sadeže. So ravno prav sladki. Balzami so organski, prijazni do okolja, niso testirani na živalih in so narejeni izključno v Sloveniji. Najdete jih lahko v spletni trgovini in v vseh Sanolaborjih ter Kalčkih. Dostopno in prijazno do živali in okolja. V ta namen sem dodala še nekaj slik mojega pomagača. Sem prepričana, da ste Chubbyja že kar malo pogrešali.
