Hello you guys :)
Nothing excites me more than testing a new product.
Sometimes I get late on the wagon and I see tons of reviews already written so
I have certain expectations about the product. I’m more into surprise effect
but hey, if I see everyone raving about the product I didn’t try, I’m more than
happy to go out and get it.
I love micellar waters and ever since the market was
floated with them I haven’t used anything else to remove my makeup. So it’s
been years already and I have tried really a lot of brands. Before this product,
my favs were BIODERMA SENSIBIO on the pricey side and GARNIER MICELLARCLEANSING WATER for SENSITIVE SKIN (the pink one) which is very affordable.
After I ran out of my pink Garnier micellar water I
went to get a new one. I’ve seen and heard a lot about this biphase micellar
water with oil but I did think twice before buying it because I was very
skeptical. I do wash my face after removing makeup but it’s still heavy formula
which I don’t prefer when removing heavy makeup. Also, the list of ingredients,
as you can see bellow, contains of 23 ingredients. For comparison purposes, the
pink one has only 7, Bioderma Sensibio 10. So you can notice there is a lot of
stuff in there. But I decided to get it and see for myself is it worth the
hype.
They say it:
·
removes
makeup
·
cleanses
·
soothes
·
no
rinse off
·
non
greasy finish
You get 400 ml and it is suppose to be enough for 200
uses with cotton pads. The price of this micellar water is a slightly higher
than the original pink one.
After properly using it for more than a month I can
say for sure that for me:
a) it
didn’t remove makeup – even though I have used more cotton pads than usual
(6-7) and tired various methods of removing eye makeup, I was never able to
remove my mascara completely; I always came out of shower looking like a panda
which NEVER happened with any other micellar water
b) it
didn’t cleanse – it remains on the surface of the skin unless you press it
real hard into the skin to literary wipe away makeup
c) it was not soothing – it burns on the eyelids
d) there
was definitely a need to rinse it off because it
e) had greasy finish – your skin absorbs that oil quite fast but I’m not okay with
stuffing my pores with oil when first – I know it is argan oil (or at least
they say it is) but I don’t know the origin of it, and second – since I’m aware
under that oil there still might be makeup residue… all that screams pimples to
me and, even though I’ve washed my face after every use, I did notice my skin didn’t
feel nor look good
I have dry to very dry skin and it has had those
effects on me. I don’t know how it could work any better for the oily skin, but
there are many excellent reviews on this product. It might be just my
experience but for sure I can say I will never buy this one again. I already
went and got it’s pink sister and stocked it up so I don’t get into temptation of
experimenting again with this one hahah
I wish you a lovely day :)

My dears,
I have to
apologize for being away for a very long time now. I have a lot of obligations finishing
my university education but as soon that is done, which I hope it will be in maximum
of 2 months, I will be back, with more frequent posts, higher quality content
and in general I will try to put this blog on its own feet, being the way I
imagined it long time ago.
In the
future I will try to make it bilingual but in a way that you choose which
language you want to read it on. I thought separated fragments which differ by
color will be a good thing but I find it by myself to be confusing so I will
fix it. I will work on graphics and higher quality photos; I will work my ass
off to finally buy DSLR; I will create profile on Facebook and connect all the activities
on social networks with this Blog.
All in all,
I have a plan and I will make it! :) Thank you everyone for sticking around and
following me on Instagram. I will still post some shorter posts here on the
Blog but I just wanted to announce that I didn’t die and that “glow by petra”
will soon be much happier place :D
Sending you
hugs and kisses :)

svima,
obaveze
su me gotovo satrle i jednostavno nisam bila u mogućnosti išta kvalitetnog
pisati ni objaviti ovdje. Međutim, nadam se da će se to uskoro promijeniti, trenutno
imam previše posla oko završetka studija, ali nadam se da će u maksimalnom roku
od dva mjeseca to sve biti riješeno i iza mene. Isplanirala sam mnogo noviteta,
puno veću aktivnost, kvalitetniji sadržaj i zapravo ću općenito probati podići
ovu stranicu na noge, na način na koji sam to davno zamislila.
Tako da
vas ubuduće ovdje očekuje – dvojezična stranica no tako da možete odabrati samo
jedan jezik jer, iako sam mislila da će odlomci u različitim bojama biti
dovoljni, mene to osobno zbunjuje i ostavlja mi dojam nereda tako da mi je to
prvo na popisu za odraditi. Nadalje, poboljšat ću grafički izgled i poraditi na
kvaliteti fotografija. Naradit ću se, no zaradit ću konačno i za taj DSLR.
Napravit ću stranicu i na Facebooku te spojiti sve aktivnosti na društvenim
mrežama sa ovim blogom, da sve postane jedna objedinjena zajednica.
Uglavnom,
plan imam i ostvarit ću ga! :) Hvala Vam svima koji me posjećujete ovdje i
pratite na Instagramu gdje sam trenutno puno aktivnija. I dalje ću objavljivati
kraće postiće ovdje no samo sam htjela napomenuti da to vjerojatno neće imati
neku učestalost koju želim. „glow by petra“ će uskoro postati puno sretnije
mjesto :D
Šaljem
vam puno zagrljaja i poljubaca :)

Hello my
friends :)
As I have
cleaned out my makeup shelves, by all means I had to make a mess again and fill
in blank spaces. So today I’m bringing you, again, new in in makeup and skincare
area.
Disclaimer: All of these products I’ve bought by myself, if not stated
otherwise (Christmas gifts etc.), in the past month and a half.
Bokić
:)
Nakon
što sam se konačno riješila nereda na policama s kozmetikom, naravno da nakon
tog logika nalaže da se sve to opet popuni novim proizvodima. Tako da vam danas
opet donosim jedan new in post kozmetike i proizvoda za njegu kože koje sam
kupila.
Disclaimer:
Sve proizvode kupila sam sama, osim ako nije navedeno drugačije (božićni
pokloni itd.), u posljednjih mjesec i pol dana.
I went little crazy for Catrice Cosmetics recently, don’t really know how that happened since I was never really fan of their products. On their traditional sale in January I bought ALL MATT PLUS LIQUID FOUNDATION in shade 025 SAND BEIGE for 2,5$. This is the darkest shade which is, of course, way too dark for me, but last summer I’ve used that shade when I got tanned, so I know this will fit me this year too. And it is matte foundation so it’s really perfect for hot days.
Next, I’ve got this package that includes HD LIQUID COVERAGE FOUNDATION in shade 010 LIGHT BEIGE and you also get LIQUID CAMOUFLAGE CONCEALER in 010 PORCELLAIN. This wasn’t on sale but for the price of 8$ you get both products which I think is pretty neat. All I will say about it – I use both of these products every day since I bought it. I wear foundation 12+ hours a day and when I get home with this, it looks like I’ve put it on 3 hours ago. My favorites this year, definitely!
Ne znam
što mi se događa, no nikad nisam imala ni kupovala toliko Catrice Cosmetics
proizvoda, nikad me nisu previše oduševili. No, nešto se očito promijenilo. Na
njihovoj poznatoj siječanjskoj rasprodaji kupila sam nekoliko proizvoda. Prvi
je ALL MATT PLUS TEKUĆI PUDER u
nijansi 025 SAND BEIGE, a cijena mu
je bila 16,90kn. Radi se o najtamnijoj nijansi koja mi je, naravno,
trenutno pretamna, no prošlo ljeto nosila sam tu nijansu nakon što sam pocrnila
i bila mi je idealna. Tako da znam da će mi odgovarati i ove godine, a i radi
se o mat puderu tako da je to doista odlično za vruće ljetne dane.
Sljedeće
što sam kupila jest ovaj komplet u kojem dobijete HD LIQUID COVERAGE PUDER u nijansi 010 LIGHT BEIGE te LIQUID
CAMOUFLAGE KOREKTOR u 010
PORECELLAIN. Ovo nije bilo na sniženju, no za cijenu od 56 kuna, mislim da
se radi o korektnoj cijeni. Sve što ću reći za ova dva proizvoda – otkad sam ih
kupila, nosim ih svaki dan. Šminku nosim preko 12 sati na dan. Kada dođem kući nakon što nosim ovu kombinaciju,
koža mi izgleda kao da sam puder nanijela prije maksimalno 3 sata, sve je na
mjestu, nema suhih dijelova, ništa... Moji favoriti za ovu godinu, definitivno!
Here are the
swatches of all three products. Both concealer and lighter foundation match my
skin tone, especially after being blended well into the skin. You can notice
how concealer has more pinkish undertone and foundation is yellow based. At
first I thought it won’t look good combined, but pinkish concealer neutralizes
dark undereye area looking very natural and complimenting my skin tone.
Textures of
these foundations are not much alike. Even though they are both medium to high coverage
foundations, lighter one, HD LIQUID COVERAGE is very light, water based and at
first I thought it won’t cover anything. But with 2-3 solid pumps of the product,
I cover my whole face and hide all imperfections. And yes, this foundation has
a small pipette for reaching the product inside, I like it a lot :)
On the other
hand, as you can see on photos, ALL MATT PLUS has much thicker, creamier texture. Because it’s obviously
too dark for me, I still didn’t test it on my face, so I don’t know if it feels
heavy on the skin while wearing.

Ovdje
su i swatchevi sva tri proizvoda. I korektor i svjetliji puder odgovaraju mojoj
boji kože, naročito kad se dobro izblendaju na koži, ne ovako gusto naneseni.
Možete primijetiti kako korektor ima rozikasti podton, a tekući puder žuti. Isprva mi se činilo da to neće
izgledati dobro zajedno, no zapravo, rozi ton korektora odlično neutralizira
tamnije područje ispod očiju tako da to na kraju sve izgleda jako prirodno i
komplimentira mom tonu kože.
Teksture
oba tekuća pudera su potpuno drugačije. Iako su oba sa srednjom do visokom
pokrivnom moći, onaj svjetliji, HD LIQUID COVERAGE, je jako lagan, gotovo kao voda, kad ga stavite na
ruku doslovno curi i isprva sam mislila da nema šanse da prekrije bilo kakvu
nepravilnost na koži. No, 2-3 pumpice proizvoda dovoljne su mi da prekrijem
cijelo lice i sakrijem sve nepravilnosti. I da, ovaj puder ima malenu pipetu za
vađenje proizvoda, jako mi se to sviđa :)
S druge
strane, kao što možete vidjeti na slikama, ALL MATT PLUS je mnogo gušći,
kremastiji. Budući da je očigledno pretaman za mene, još uvijek ga nisam
isprobala pa ne mogu reći osjeti li se ta težina i na licu.
 |

First time I
was buying this liquid camouflage, because of the store lights, I thought
concealer in 010 will be too dark for me, so I was always buying the one in 005
Light Natural. So now, after I got this shade, I decided to compare it in
natural lighting. On the photo bellow you can see obvious difference in
undertones – 005 has yellow undertone and 010 has pinkish undertone. I use 005
when I want really bright undereye area, and 010 for natural, everyday looks,
since it’s almost the same as my skintone.

Kada
sam prije kupovala ovaj tekući korektor odnosno kamuflažu, zbog svjetla u
trgovinama, izgledalo mi je kao da će mi korektor u nijansi 010 biti pretaman,
stoga sam kupovala nijansu 005 Light Natural (koju btw možete naći samo u
Mulleru, dok ostale možete naći u svim drogerijama; ne znam zašto). Tako da sam
ih odlučila usporediti na normalnom svjetlu sada kada posjedujem oba. Na
fotografiji je očita razlika u podtonu – 005 ima žuti podton, dok je 010 rozi
podton. 005 koristim kada želim jače posvijetliti područje ispod očiju, a 010
za normalne, dnevne lookove, budući da je ta nijansa gotova identična nijansi
mog tena.
Going on
with Catrice Cosmetics... As „the baking“ trend continues, I decided to get
this NUDE ILLUSION LOOSE POWDER. I’ve read many positive reviews about this
powder so I decided to try it out. As a person with dry skin, I’m not the
biggest fan of matte finish on the skin, but sometimes I do need to set things
in place with a tiny amount of translucent powder.
Nadalje s Catriceom, trend „bakinga“ se nastavlja i dalje pa sam kupila ovaj NUDE ILLUSION LOOSE POWDER. Čitala sam super recenzije o njemu pa sam ga odlučila i isprobati. Kao suhokožac nisam fan pretjerano matiranog lica, no ponekad mi je ipak potrebno malo transparentnog pudera. Cijena mu je bila oko 36 kuna.
Another
Catrice thingy is this PRIME AND FINE PROFESSIONAL CONTOURING PALETTE in 020
WARM HARMONY which I also found on sale for 2,5$. If you follow me on Instagram,
you could have noticed how much I like the lighter version (I’m talking about
contouring shade, highlight one is disastrous), so after seeing the price I
decided to get this warmer shade too for the summer.
Još jedna Catrice
stvarčica je i ova PRIME AND FINE PROFESSIONAL CONTOURING PALETTE u 020 WARM
HARMONY koji sam također našla na
sniženju za 16,90 kn. Ako me pratite na Instagramu, mogli ste primijetiti kako apsolutno
obožavam svjetliju verziju ovog (nijansu za konturiranje, highlighter je
grozan) , pa sam ponukana cijenom morala uzeti i topliju varijantu za ljeto.

You could
see this next gem on my Instagram as well. I got this MAX FACTOR MASTERPIECE NUDE PALETTE in 03 ROSE NUDES as a Christmas present from my friend. I still have
to play around with it to see the quality of eye shadows but I absolutely adore
those pinkish tones in it. They are very soft and pigmented. So far, my favourite shade is 4th from the
top – rose gold glittery shade... Love it! :)
I
sljedeći dragulj mogli ste vidjeti na mom Instagramu. Dobila sam ovu paletu
sjenila MAX FACTOR MASTERPIECE NUDE PALETTE u nijansi 03 ROSE NUDES od prijateljice kao
poklon za Božić. Još uvijek ju nisam koristila dovoljno da vidim kako se
sjenila ponašaju kroz dan, no jako mi se sviđaju ove ružičaste nijanse. Također,
moram spomenuti da su jako mekana i pigmentirana. Omiljena nijansa mi je ova
četvrta odozgo – rose gold šljokičasta.. Predivna je! :)

I ordered some of the Oriflame stuff as well. First,
here are two THE ONE EVERLASTING FOUNDATIONS
in shades 31164 LIGHT IVORY and 31161 FAIR NUDE. I have never used
their foundations so I didn’t know which shade would fit me so I ordered two lightest
ones. They were on sale for 4$.
Naručila sam i nekoliko
proizvoda iz Oriflamea. Za početak tu su dva tekuća pudera THE ONE EVERLASTING FOUNDATION u nijansama 31164 LIGHT IVORY i 31161
FAIR NUDE. Nikad nisam koristila njihove proizvode pa nisam znala koja će
mi nijansa odgovarati. Obzirom da su bili sniženi na samo 29 kuna odlučila sam
uzeti dvije nijanse koje su mi se činile najsvjetlijima.
The result is – LIGHT IVORY has olive undertone and it
is appropriate for naturally darker skin tones while FAIR NUDE had more neutral,
yellowish undertone and fits me better.
They feel very wet and light on the skin and have
small to medium coverage. I would say this foundation is perfect for spring/summer
days for those who have normal skin without blemishes, just to freshen up their
face. I wore it several times and I liked it. It is perfect lightweight
everyday foundation.

Nijanse
koje sam naručila na kraju su ispale ovako – LIGHT IVORY ima podton boje
masline, prigodan za osobe s tamnijom bojom kože dok FAIR NUDE ima više
neutralan, žućkasti podton i pristaje mi puno bolje.
Što se
tiče teksture i osjećaja na licu, jako su “mokri” i lagani na koži. Male su, do
srednje, pokrivne moći i zapravo mi se čini kako je ovaj tekući puder prikladan
za proljetne ili ljetne dane za normalnu kožu bez nekih nepravilnosti, samo da
se osvježi lice. Nosila sam ga nekoliko puta na svom licu i svidio mi se.
Zapravo mislim da se radi o savršenom laganom puderu za svakodnevno nanošenje.

From the same line, there is THE ONE ILLUSKIN
CONCEALER in 30615 FAIR LIGHT. I’ve got it again on sale for 2,5$ and this is
my most recent purchase so I didn’t try it yet.
Iz iste
linije dolazi i THE ONE ILLUSKIN CONCEALER u nijansi 30615 FAIR LIGHT. I ovo
sam kupila iz razloga što je bilo povoljno u posljednjem katalogu, za 19,90
kuna. Nisam ga još stigla isprobati tako da se veselim testiranju.
Now
something that deserves its own posts but I’m gonna try to keep it short :) GOLDEN ROSE LONGSTAY LIQUID MATTE LIPSTICKS
in 03, 07, 10, and 12. I heard so
much about these lipsticks and I knew I had to get them. But, since they’re quite
pricey here in Croatia (5$) I made myself to wait until I travel, because I
knew they are cheaper anywhere else than here. So as I was spending holidays in
Bulgaria, I’ve found then on sale for 3,5$ and this was the result.
A sad
nešto o čemu bi se dalo pisati u cijelom jednom postu, no trudit ću se biti
kratka ovdje. GOLDEN ROSE LONGSTAY
LIQUID MATTE LIPSTICKS u nijansama 03,
07, 10 i 12. Puno sam slušala,
još više gledala fotografije na Instagramu i znala sam da ih moram nabaviti. Ali,
budući da svi znamo kako su cijene GR kozmetike kod nas u Hrvatskoj ponekad i
duplo više nego u zemljama oko nas, odlučila sam se strpjeti do prve prilike
kad ću otputovati. Blagdane sam provodila u Bugarskoj i naletjela na akciju u
njihovom Lillyju gdje su bili oko 24 kune. I ovo je rezultat...
Very soft,
longlasting, kissproof, don’t dry out your lips too much, come in beautiful
shades... These are definitely the best liquid lipsticks in my collection. And I’ll
be surely go back for more.
Jako
mekani, dugotrajni, ne skidaju se, ne isušuju vam dodatno usne, dolaze u
mnoštvu predivnih nijansi... Jednostavno, ovo su najbolji tekući ruževi u mojoj
kolekciji i sigurno ću se vratiti po još nijansi.
While I was
shopping for liquid lipsticks, Ive also noticed GOLDEN ROSE MATTE LISPTICK CRAYONS and got two in shades 02 and 15. Their price was even smaller, I believe 1,5$ or so, which was
really nothing for the quality of the crayons. They are very soft, don’t dry
out your lips and they don’t really go completely matte. You can barely feel
them on your lips because they are very creamy and comfortable for wearing.
The ESSENCE MATT MATT MATT LONGLASTING LIPGLOSS
in 01 LA VIE EST BELLE I got as a
Christmas present. I didn’t wear this one yet so I don’t know how it feels on
the lips, but I like it’s shade and great pigmentation which you can see on the
swatch.
Dok sam
birala nijanse tekućih ruževa, za oko su mi zapele i ove GOLDEN ROSE MATTE LISPTICK
CRAYONS u nijansama 02 i 15. Cjenovno su bile još povoljnije od
tekućih ruževa, oko 9-10 kuna, što je ništa naspram njihove kvalitete. Jako su
mekane, ne isušuju usne i ne suše se zapravo u potpuno mat ruž. Zato ih jedva
možete i osjetiti na usnama, jako su kremaste i vrlo ugodne za nošenje.
ESSENCE MATT
MATT MATT LONGLASTING LIPGLOSS u 01 LA VIE EST BELLE dobila sam kao
božićni poklon. Nisam ga još imala priliku nositi na usnama pa ne znam kakav je
osjećaj, no jako mi se sviđa nijansa kao i pigmentacija koju možete vidjeti na
swatchu.

ESSENCE
LIPGLOSS has a very beautiful baby pink shade. GOLDEN ROSE
CRAYON in 15 has perfect peachy nude shade while 02 has very pigmented burgundy
plumb shade. I like them all a lot :)

ESSENCE
LIPGLOSS ima jako divnu baby pink nijansu. GOLDEN ROSE CRAYON 15 čini mi se kao
savršena breskvasto neutralna nijansa dok je 02 vrlo pigmentirana tamnocrvena
ljubičasta nijansa. Sve mi se jako sviđaju :)
These three
products I bought on sale in one Croatian drugstore for only 7$. It is by
Serbian brand AURA and it included: EYES INTENSIFIER LIQUID EYELINER, LASH
& BROW CLEAR GEL and EYEBROW
SHADOW in 03 DARK. Individual
price of each product is around 5$ so getting 3 products for 7$ is very
affordable.
Ova tri
proizvoda kupila sam u KOZMO drogeriji za cijenu od samo 50 kuna (sniženo sa
100 kuna). Radi se o AURA proizvodima za oči i obrve i to: EYES INTENSIFIER TUŠ ZA OČI, LASH & BROW BEZBOJNI GEL i EYEBROW SHADOW u nijansi 03 DARK. Individualna cijena svakog od
ovih proizvoda je preko 35 kuna tako da, kupiti sve zajedno za 50 kuna, čini mi
se vrlo povoljnim.
First impressions on all of the products were very good if not excellent. In EYEBROW SHADOW set you get
two shades – one is warmer brown, one is cooler brown. I prefer cooler shade
because it looks more natural on my brows. The LASH & BROW CLEAR GEL also looks promising because it doesn’t fell
sticky and it doesn’t crumble. When it
comes to EYES INTENSIFIER LIQUID
EYELINER, I like that it is very creamy and black. Once you put it on, you don’t
have to go over it because it streaky or something else. No! It is black, opaque and comes with a thin brush so it’s
very easy to apply. So, when I revise all the products, I think there isn’t anything
I don’t like about them. Cool :)
 |
| Hand swatches (from left to right): EYEBROW SHADOW cool brown, EYEBROW SHADOW warm brown, EYES INTENSIFIER LIQUID EYELINER in black |
Prvi dojmovi o sva tri
proizvoda su zapravo vrlo dobri, ako ne i odlični. U EYEBROW SHADOW dobijete dvije nijanse za obrve – jedna je topla
nijansa smeđe, druga je hladna smeđa. Osobno mi se više sviđa ta hladnija
nijansa jer izgleda prirodnije na mojim obrvama. LASH & BROW CLEAR GEL također se čini obećavajućim jer nije
ljepljiv nakon što se nanese na obrve i ne stvaraju se one ružne grudice. Što
se tiče EYES INTENSIFIER TEKUĆEG TUŠA, sviđa
mi se jer je jako kremast i crn. Jednom kad ga stavite, ne trebate prelaziti
još jednom kako biste se uvjerili da je prekrio sve dijelove. Ne! Radi se o
crnom, jako pigmentiranom tušu za oči koji dolazi s vrlo tankim kistićem za lakše nanošenje. Tako da, kada pogledam
zapravo sve ove proizvode, ne znam je li uopće postoji nešto što mi se ne sviđa
kod njih. Odlično :)
Before AURA one, I bought two other eyeliners – one of them because it’s my holy grail and the other one to compare it with my holy grail. My holy grail eyeliner is ESSENCE LIQUID INK WATERPROOF EYELINER. It has a very thin brush which makes it easy to apply it, it is black and has creamy texture to it. You can buy it in any drugstore and it costs around 3$.
The other one I wanted to test out is the GOLDEN ROSE PERFECT LASHES BLACK EYELINER. I bought it again when I was traveling, and for the price of 1,5$ I had to check what’s it all about.
Prije AURINOG, kupila
sam dva druga tekuća tuša za oči. Jednog sam kupila jer mi je to najdraži tuš,
a drugog jer sam ga željela usporediti s onim najdražim. Pa mi je tako najdraži
tekući tuš za oči ovaj ESSENCE LIQUID
INK EYELINER u WATERPROOF
izdanju. Ima jako tanki kistić za lako nanošenje, vrlo je taman, crn i kremaste
teksture. Može se kupiti u bilo kojoj drogeriji za cijenu od 21 kn.
S druge strane, htjela
sam isprobati GOLDEN ROSE PERFECT LASHES
BLACK EYELINER. Također sam ga kupila na putovanju, a dojmio me se svojim
pakiranjem i cijenom od nekih 12 kuna što mi je zbilja izazvalo reakciju – wow,
moram vidjeti što je ovo.
So if we
have in mind the price difference, it is even more surprising the difference in
amount of product. With GR you get 8,5 ml while with Essence its only 3 ml.
Ako imamo u vidu
razliku u cijenama, još je začuđujuća činjenica da s GR za duplo manju cijenu
dobijete puno veću količinu proizvoda, 8,5 ml naspram 3 ml koja dobijete u
Essencu.
 |
| Hand swatches - comparison (from left to right): ESSENCE LIQUID INK vs. GOLDEN ROSE PERFECT LASHES |
So for more
than double amount of product and half cheaper, you have to expect terrible
formula and shitty lasting. Not so true. As you can see on the swatch, there
are differences between eyeliner formulas, but in my opinion, they’re minor. Essence
eyeliner has creamier and heavier formula, which makes it more opaque and long lasting.
On the other side, GR eyeliner is water based, it feels very wet and lightweight
when you apply it. It is not as opaque as Essence but it’s perfectly buildable
to full coverage and lasts as long as Essence one does. So I can say I’m quite
impressed with GOLDEN ROSE eyeliner. It is cheap, comes in very nice packaging,
has a very thin brush to apply product with and looks as good as my favourite
eyeliner looks. I will check more stuff on their counter because, from what I’ve
seen so far, they have quite impressing products there.
 |
| Hand swatches - comparison (from left to right): ESSENCE LIQUID INK vs. GOLDEN ROSE PERFECT LASHES |
Dakle, za više od
dvostruko više proizvoda a duplo manju cijenu, očekivala sam lošu formula i
nikakvo trajanje. Ali nisam to baš i dobila. Kao što možete vidjeti na swatchu,
postoji razlika između formula dvaju tuševa, ali ona je po mom mišljenju
zanemariva. Essenceov tuš ima
kremastiju, a samim time, i težu formulu što ga čini vrlo pigmentiranim i dugotrajnim.
S druge strane, GR je više vodenast, jako je mokar i lagan na kapku. Nije
toliko pigmentiran kao Essenceov, ali se savršeno nadograđuje do potpune
prekrivenosti i traje jednako kao i drugi tuš. Tako da sam poprilično
impresionirana Golden Roseovim tekućim tušem. Jeftin je, dolazi u profinjenom
pakiranju, ima jako tanak kistić za nanošenje i na očima izgleda jednako kao i
moj najdraži tuš. Definitivno ću potražiti još stvari na njihovim policama jer,
sudeći po dosadašnjim iskustvima, imaju vrlo impresivne proizvode.
If you
follow me on Instagram, you must have noticed this little thing. I swear by it
till this day, so I won’t say a lot of things about it. It is L'OREAL EXTRAORDINARY NUTRI GOLD OIL-CREAM.
I saw it on sale 1+1 and decided to get it because it was really affordable.
For two creams (50 ml + 50 ml) I have paid around 11$ which is great because it
will serve me for 3+ months for sure. It is great for my dry skin but I’ve
heard it also works on oily skin too, so don’t be afraid of this “oil” in the
name. It is very nourishing, keeps my skin soft and moisturized and doesn’t make
it to break out. It comes in a nice packaging but, after using it, prepare to
see your fingerprints all over that gold cover. I hate that! haha
Ako me pratite na
Instagramu, vjerojatno ste primijetile ovu stvarčicu. Kunem se u nju do dana
današnjeg tako da neću previše ni pričati o njoj. Radi se o L'OREAL EXTRAORDINARY NUTRI GOLD OIL-CREAM. Kupila sam ju na sniženju u BIPI, gdje ste za cijenu jednog proizvoda, drugi dobili gratis. Tako da sam dvije kreme, svaku od 50 ml, kupila za 80 kuna
što mi se čini vrlo povoljnim. Još ako uzmem u obzir da će mi trajati sigurno
preko 3 mjeseca, stvari se čine još boljim. Što se tiče same kreme, odlična je
za moju suhu kožu. No, nemojte se obeshrabriti ni vi sa masnom kožom, čula sam
da odlično reagira i na masnoj koži. Vrlo je njegujuća, čini mi kožu mekanom i
hidratiziranom te ne izaziva prištiće, odnosno ne začepljuje pore. Dolazi u jako
elegantnom pakiranju no, nakon korištenja, očekujte otiske prstiju preko
cijelog zlatnog poklopca. Mrzim to! haha
In my
Oriflame order, there were also these two things. One was HAPPY SKIN NOURISHING BODY MILK for EXTRA DRY SKIN that comes in 400 ml bottle. I still didn’t try
this out so I can’t say anything about it. I ordered it for 3$.
The other
thing was SWEDISH SPA PURIFYING FACE SCRUB
with SWEDISH ALGAE & SEA
MINERALS. It was on sale for 3$ for 75 ml so I decided to try it out. I
love clay masks for cleaning my skin, but they take me a lot of time so I
wanted to get some mild scrub I can use daily. I’ve used it couple of time so far
and I really like it. It feels fresh on my skin and its little scrub particles
deep clean my pores. After washing my face with it, it feels smooth and doesn’t
cause pimples.
U mojoj Oriflame
narudžbi našle su se još i ove dvije stvari. Jedna je HAPPY SKIN NOURISHING BODY
MILK za jako suhu kožu koja dolazi u
bočici od 400 ml. Nisam još isprobala ovo mlijeko za tijelo pa ne mogu ništa
previše reći o njemu. Platila sam ga 20
kuna.
Druga stvar jest ovaj SWEDISH SPA PURIFYING FACE SCRUB sa SWEDISH ALGAE & SEA MINERALS. Također
je bio na sniženju za 20 kuna za 75 ml tako da sam ga odlučila isprobati. Znate
da obožavam maske za lice od gline, no oduzmu mi puno vremena tako da sam
htjela isprobati neki lagani piling koji bih mogla koristiti svakodnevno.
Koristila sam ga nekoliko puta zasad i jako mi se sviđa. Jako je osvježavajuć
na licu, a njegove malene piling čestice naočigled mi čiste pore. Nije mi
prouzročilo prištiće ili druge nepravilnosti na koži, a nakon upotrebe, koža
lica mi je jako mekana pod prstima.
One of the Christmases
present was also this SCOTTISH FINE
SOAPS WILLOW & BLUEBELL GIFT SET. I still didn’t try any of these
products so I can’t say much about them. It comes in a cute packaging and
smells excellent. I’m excited to try them out.
Još jedan od božićnih
poklona bio je i ovaj SCOTTISH FINE
SOAPS WILLOW & BLUEBELL GIFT SET. Nisam još isprobala nijedan od
proizvoda pa ne mogu puno reći o njima. Sve je stiglo u jako slatkom pakiranju
i miriši prekrasno. Veselim se isprobavanju.
BALEA DUSCH PEELING ORANGE & MINZE I bought
because I have really dry skin and I need to remove dead skin cells often to
keep it as much as I can under control. This one smells very nice, fresh and I
love using it. But it doesn’t really do much. It has many peeling particles in
it but if I don’t use it with peeling glove, I don’t see it doing anything. For
the 200 ml of the product you will pay 1,5$ so it’s very cheap which I like
about Balea products.
MIXA BODY BALM REPAIRING SURGRAS for SENSITIVE SKIN and EXTRA DRYNESS is my new discovery and I love it! Like I’ve said, I
have very dry skin and after taking a shower I have to bathe in body lotions.
And even though I tried many, none of them did anything to me. Well, until this
one. It is very rich body milk, it absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves it
smooth and very soft. It really helped me a lot and I will for sure buy it
again. Price for 400 ml is 6$.
BOURJOIS PARIS ANTI-PERSPIRANT DEODORANT SPRAY TENDRESSE
is for sure my favorite deodorant for a while now. When I was traveling I
forgot mine at home and bought this one in Bulgaria. And I found it on great
deal, for 200 ml (which is promo pack, usually it comes in 150 ml) I have paid
around 3$. When buying, I always mix scents so I don’t get bored of it and this
time I bought the one with Cotton Flower scent. Love it!
Kupila sam BALEA DUSCH PEELING ORANGE & MINZE jer
imam jako suhu kožu i trebam redovito uklanjati mrtve stanice prilikom
tuširanja kako bih to koliko toliko držala pod kontrolom. Ovaj piling mi se
svidio zbog svog mirisa, jako je osvježavajuć i volim ga koristiti. Međutim, da
je pretjerano učinkovit, i nije baš. Ima puno piling čestica u sebi, ali ako ga
ne koristim s rukavicom za piling i ne vidim neki učinak. Za 200 ml proizvoda
trebat ćete izdvojiti svega 9 kuna što je vrlo jeftino i ono što me uvijek
obraduje kod Balea proizvoda.
MIXA BODY BALM REPAIRING SURGRAS SENSITIVE SKIN and EXTRA DRYNESS mi je novo otkriće I obožavam ga! Kao što sam već spomenula,
imam jako suhu kožu i nakon tuširanja doslovno se trebam okupati u losionu za
tijelo ako se ne želim probuditi sa Saharom. Međutim, iako sam isprobala doista
svašta, nijedan od losiona nije mi nimalo pomogao. Barem ne dosad. Ovo mlijeko
za tijelo jako je bogato, gusto, no lako se razmazuje, brzo se upija u kožu i
ostavlja ju jako mekanom. Zasad mi je doista pomoglo i veselim se korištenju
nakon tuširanja te ću ga svakako kupiti ponovno. Cijena za 400 ml je 40 kuna u
našim drogerijama no tražite ga na (čestim) sniženjima, tad ispadne vrlo
povoljno.
BOURJOIS PARIS ANTI-PERSPIRANT
DEODORANT SPRAY TENDRESSE je moj najdraži
dezodorans već dulje vrijeme. Kad sam putovala, zaboravila sam spakirati svoj
dezodorans kod kuće pa sam morala kupiti novi u Bugarskoj. I našla sam ga na
odličnoj ponudi, promo pakiranje od 200 ml (inače dolazi u bočici od 150 ml)
platila sam oko 20 kuna. Kod kupovanja,
uvijek volim promijeniti miris da mi ne dosadi. Ovog puta kupila sam tako onaj
s mirisom cvijeta pamuka. No obožavam ih sve!
This pink bundle
includes some makeup tools. As you could see in my post about washing brushes,
I love these HELLO BEAUTY MAKEUP SPONGES.
They were on sale in BIPA so I bought two. You can never have too many of
those, for the days when you are too lazy to wash one, you always have other
one clean and fresh :) They are very soft and blend makeup excellent. I can’t
remember when was the last time I have used brush to apply foundations. Their
price is around 3$ per piece so it still keeps me away from buying Beauty
Blender. I really do want to try that miracle but my wallet doesn’t allow me
when I see the price difference.
This big PRETTY TIME MAKEUP PUFF I bought in
Bulgaria in Lilly. I like using those when I apply makeup on others and when I’m
doing eye makeup after I already applied my foundation so I don’t mess it
around. It was very cheap, 0,50$.
As I have
started doing many eye looks, which you can check on my Instagram, I’ve noticed
I’m missing some very precise brushes in my collection. I was too lazy to wait
for weeks till they arrive from China, so I bought these two lip brushes from
BIPA. They were also very cheap, around 1-2$, and fast solution for my “problems”.
So far they seem okay, nothing special actually.
Ova ružičasta hrpica
sadrži neke proizvode za nanošenje šminke. Kao što ste mogli vidjeti u mom
postu o pranju kistova, obožavam ove HELLO
BEAUTY MAKEUP SPUŽVICE. Bile su na sniženju u BIPI za nešto manje od 20
kuna pa sam kupila odmah dvije. Nikad ne možete imati ovakvih jeftinih spužvica
previše. Nerijetko mi se dogodi da sam prelijena ili umorna za pranje, a ovako
uvijek imate drugu spužvicu koja vas čeka svježa i čista :) Radi se o jako
mekanim spužvicama, odlično blendaju puder na licu. Ne sjećam se kad sam zadnji
puta koristila kist za nanošenje tekuće podloge. Zbilja želim isprobati
originalni BeautyBlender koji nam je konačno dostupan u Hrvatskoj, no cijena od
20 kuna naspram 120 mi je i dalje trn u oku. No bit će, kupit ću ja i to čudo!
Ovaj veliki PRETTY TIME MAKEUP PUFF sam također
kupila u Bugarskoj u Lillyju. Volim koristiti ove puffove kada šminkam druge
ili kad nanosim sjenila na oči nakon što sam već nanijela podlogu na lice, da
ne upropastim sve. Ovakve stvari su u Lillyju dosta jeftine, oko 5 kuna sam
platila ovu, dok sam u Hrvatskoj u BIPI za duplo manju spužvicu dala 20
kuna. Savršenstvo -.-
Budući da sam se dosta
aktivirala oko kreiranja raznih eye lookova, koje možete vidjeti na momInstagramu, primijetila sam da mi nedostaju jako precizni kistići. Bila sam
prelijena čekati tjednima da mi stignu iz Kine, pa kad sam slučajno naletjela
na ove kistiće za usne u BIPI po cijeni od 10-15 kuna, odlučila sam ih uzeti i
uštedjeti na vremenu. Zasad mi se čine u redu, ništa specijalno zapravo.
The last purchase
in this post is from Mϋller. I bought some random stuff but still decided to include
it in this post. First is AVEO NAILPOLISH
REMOVER with MELONE. It’s very
cheap, it costs 0,50$. I bought two of those. I like how it removes nailpolish
and I’ve been using it for a long time. Next is AVEO CREMESOAP with ALMOND
MILK SCENT. Again, cheap, 1$, I like its smell and it is pink so it fits my
current bathroom theme lol I bought two PALMOLIVE
CREAM SHOWER GELS because they were on sale, for 1$. I like Palmolive
shower gels but in a world of so many brands, these ones seem so basic and not
interesting and I usually skip them. This time I bought basic SENSITIVE SCENT and FEEL GLAMOROUS, of course I couldn’t skip
pink one… And the last but not least, I’m a girl and we spend those things in
unlimited quantities. I bought two packs of these DUCHESSE PADS again because they were on sale, for a 1$ or so. I like
them.
Zadnja kupovina bila je
u Mϋlleru. Radi se o jako random stvarima no odlučila sam i njih uključiti u
ovaj post, svi kupujemo i ovakve stvari. Prvi je AVEO NAILPOLISH REMOVER sa mirisom lubenice. Jako je jeftin, košta
4 kune. Kupila sam dva pakiranja jer mi se sviđa kako uklanja lak. Koristim ga
već dulje vrijeme. Zatim slijedi AVEO
CREMESOAP sa mirisom BADEMOVOG
MLIJEKA. Opet, jeftino, 8 kuna, miriši odlično i ružičast je pa mi se
uklapa u trenutni izgled kupaonice lol Kupila sam i dva PALMOLIVE CREAM SHOWER GELS. Bili su sniženi na 8,5 kuna. Volim Palmolive gelove za
tuširanje no nekako su mi nezanimljivi i neprivlačni pa ih nikad baš ne
kupujem. No ovaj put sam se odlučila za dva, klasični SENSITIVE i, nigdje bez nečeg ružičastog, FEEL GLAMOROUS. I za sam kraj, kao i svaka cura, previše novaca
potrošim na ovakve stvari. Kupila sam dva pakiranja DUCHESSE HIGIJENSKIH ULOŽAKA. Također su bili na sniženju, za 6
kuna, a odgovaraju mi. Ne vidim neku razliku između ovih za 6 ili drugih za
10-15 kuna. Svi služe svojoj svrsi.
And that’s it!
Sorry for another long post but this time I really bought a lot of stuff and
wanted to share some details about all of them. I hope I helped you with
something you were thinking of buying :) Follow me on Instagram, there I’m more
active and I often share more makeup related stuff. Much love :)
I to je to za ovaj
post. Znam da je opet jako dugačak, no skupilo se puno proizvoda, a hjela sam
vam o svima reći svoje dojmove budući da sam ih dosta već isprobala. Nadam se da
sam vam pomogla ako ste planirali kupiti nešto od ovih proizvoda :) Pratite me na Instagramu, tamo sam puno aktivnija i često objavljujem makeup lookove što
mi je primarna ljubav. Nadam se da ugodno provodite vrijeme. Šaljem vam puno
pusa :)
