Avene TriAcneal - čuvena krema protiv nepravilnosti

Po meni postoje dve apotekarske kreme za nepravilnosti koje su se izdvojile iz mora opcija. Jedna je La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + (recenzija ovde), koja je već dugo moj apsoluti HG proizvod za ovu namenu. Druga je definitivno Avene TriAcneal krema koju toliko ljudi hvali, i koju sam ja konačno rešila da probam. Tako da je došao red na moje utiske o njoj i da vidimo kako se poredi sa mojom dragom LRP.

For me there are two pharmacy brand creams for irregularities that stood out from the sea of options. One of them is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo + (reviewed here), which has long been my absolutes HG product this purpose. The second one is definitely Avene TriAcneal cream that many people are praising, and that I finally decided to try. So it is time for my impressions and comparison with my dear LRP.

Krema dolazi u kartonskoj kutiji u kojoj je tuba od 30ml. Avene je za nijansu skuplji brend od LRP-a, pa ova krema košta minimalno 1790 dinara (dok je npr. Effaclar Duo+ 1421 dinara, a u pakovanju dobijate 10ml više). Na bazi je glikolne kiseline (dok je LRP na bazi salicilne), koja ima efekat pilinga i uklanja nepravilnosti. Takođe sadrži i retinaldehid koji reguliše orožnjavananje, štiti nepravilnosti i sprečava nastajanje novih. Naravno, tu je i Avene termalna voda koja umiruje i smanjuje crvenilo. Krema je retka i žućkaste boje. Tekstura je vrlo vodenasta i lako se razmazuje i upija u sekundi. Otvor tube je mali i doziranje je veoma lako, a potrebno je vrlo malo kreme za jedno nanošenje.

The cream comes in a cardboard box in which is a tubes of 30ml. Avene is a bit more expensive brand then LRP, so this cream costs a minimum of 1790 RSD (whereas for example Effaclar Duo + is 1421 RSD, and the packaging is 10ml larger). The basis is glycolic acid (while LRP is based on salicylic acid), which has a peeling effect and removes irregularities. It also contains retinaldehyde, which regulates thickening of the skin, protects irregularities and reduces formation of new ones. Of course, it also contain Avene thermal water which soothes and reduces redness. The cream is rare and yellowish in colour. Texture is very watery, easy to spread and it is absorbed in seconds. Tube opening is small and dosage is very easy, so you'll need very little cream for one application.

Kremu nanosim ciljano na problematčne zone. Ne preporučujem nanošenje na celo lice, da vam ne bi isušila kožu. Ipak ja nisam imala nikakvih problema sa isušivanjem s obzrom na mešovitu i masnu kožu, ali i zbog nanošenja hidratantne noćne kreme nakon Avene-a. Krema je namenjena za nanošenje noću i fotosenzitivna je. Moguće je koristiti je i preko dana uz dobru kremu sa faktorom. 

I use this cream in problem areas. I do not recommend applying it to the whole face, so you don't dry out the skin. Still, I had no problems with drying out since I have mixed and oily skin, but also because I apply moisturizing night cream after Avene. The cream is designed for application at night and is photosensitive. You can use it during the day with a good cream with SPF. 

Na koži krema je prijatna. Ne zateže, ne pecka, nije lepljiva, niti formira film na koži. Ipak ono najbitnije kod ovih krema je efekat na bubuljice. Kada je nanesem uveče, već ujutru sve sitnije bubuljice i crvenilo mi nestanu. Malo je sporija kod lečenja dubljih i većih bubuljica, pa njih sanira tek za nekoliko dana. Sličan je slučaj bio i kod LRP kreme, mada mi se čini da je u mom slučaju LRP krema bila brža.

On the skin cream is pleasant. It doesn't tighten and tingle, it's not sticky, nor forms a film on the skin. Yet what is most important in these creams is the effect on the pimples. When I apply it in the evening, in the morning all smaller spots and redness disappear. It's a little slower in the treatment of deeper and larger pimples, but they still heal in few days. Similar case was with the LRP cream, although it seems to me that in my case LRP cream was a bit faster.

Kod izbora između Effaclar Duo-a i TriAcneal kreme mislim da je presudno kako vaša koža reaguje na određeni tip kiseline. Mislim da su obe kreme jednako dobre i veoma efektivne. U mom slučaju mislim da mi koža za nijansu bolje reaguje da LRP i salicilnu kiselinu, i da se nepravilnosti brže saniraju. Ipak, nijanse su u pitanju. Ova krema je po meni takođe odlična. Mislim da obe kreme morate probati da biste znali koja je za vas bolja.

When choosing between Effaclar Duo and TriAcneal cream I think it is crucial to see how your skin reacts to particular type of acid. I think they are both equally good and very effective. In my case I think my skin responds a bit better to LRP and salicylic acid, and that the irregularities are removed faster. However, these are all nuances. This cream is also excellent in my opinion. I think that both the cream need to be tried out, if you want to know which is a better choice for you.

Za kraj pogledajte i teksturu kreme:


For the end look at the texture of the cream:

Nega kose arganovim uljem uz Stevan Still Pro Argan liniju proizvoda

Iako retko pišem o proizvodima za kosu ovaj put pravim izuzetak. Ne volim da pišem o ovim proizvodima iz prostog razloga što retko koji proizod ostavi dovoljno upečatljiv efekat na kosi, da bih mogla sa sigurnošću da ga prokomentarišem. Međutim, nova linija Stevan Still proizvoda privukla je moju pažnju, a u nastavku posta pročitajte detaljnije i zašto. Možda ste već primetili u drogerijama nove Stevan Still proizvode. Pojavile su se 3 nove StillPro linije proizvoda za kosu (argan, makadamija i keratin), a svaka sadrži šampon, balzam i masku. Ja sam rešila da probam liniju za suvu i oštećenu kosu sa arganovim uljem.

Although I rarely write about hair products, this time I'll make an exception. I don't like to write about these products for the simple reason that they rarely leave a large effect on the hair, so I can never give a certain comment on any of them. However, a new product line from Stevan Still attracted my attention, and in the following text you can read why in more detail. You may have already noticed new Stevan Still products in drug stores. There are 3 new StillPro hair product lines (argan, macadamia, and keratin), and each contains a shampoo, conditioner and a mask. I've decided to try the line for dry and damaged hair with argan oil.

Ulje argana koje se nalazi u ovoj liniji proizvoda ima dvostruko dejstvo - oblažući kosu čini je sjajnom, ali i nadoknađuje nedostatak lipida u koži glave i tako štiti kosu od isušivanja. Cela linija ima predivan i bogat miris koji me podseća na stare frizerske salone i šampone i balzame koji smo koristili kao mali. Cvetno-voćkast i veoma osvežavajući miris. Šampon iz ove linije mi se sviđa zbog toga što stvara dobru penu i lepo čisti kosu. Ja kosu šamponiram dva puta lai već pi prvom pranju šampon uspe da napravi dosta dobru penu. Balzam se nanosi nakon šampona i umasira se u kosu i kožu glave. Treba da stoji 1 minut. Malo je ređi ali i pored toga dobro zagladi moju suvu kosu i olakša rasčešljavanje.

Argan oil, which is contained in this product line has a double effect - it coats the hair making it shiny, but also compensates for the lack of lipids in the skin of the scalp and protects your hair from drying out. The whole line has the beautiful and rich fragrance that reminds me of the old hairdressing salons and shampoo and conditioners that we have used as kids. Floral, fruity and very refreshing scent. Shampoo is nice because it creates a good foam and cleans hair well. I shampoo my hair twice, and even the first shampooing has quite a lot of foam. Conditioner is applied after the shampoo and massaged into the hair and scalp. It needs to stay on for 1 minute. It's a little rarer but nevertheless it smooths my dry hair well and makes combing easier.

Masku koristim umesto balzama jednom nedeljno. Nanosi se nakon šampona kada peškirom upijemo višak vode iz kose. Na pakovanju piše da treba da odstoji na vlažnoj kosi 10-20 minuta. Iskreno, ja uglavnom nemam vremena za ovo i držim je oko 5 minuta. Međutim čak i pri ovom mom skraćenom korišćenju maske, kosa je izuzeno meka i jako se lako rasčešljava. Pri tom moram napomenuti da trenutno imam izuzetno suvu kosu, sa krajevima koje se mnogo mrse i jedva rasčešljavaju bez ovakvih proizvoda. Takođe, maska ne umasti kosu ni malo.

I use this mask once a week instead of a conditioner. It is applied after the shampoo on towel dried hair. On the packaging it says it needs to stay on damp hair for 10-20 minutes. Honestly, I usually do not have time for this, and I leave it on for about 5 minutes. However, even with this shortened period of use, my hair is noticeable soft and very easy to comb. I must note that I currently have very dry hair, with ends that get tangled a lot and I can barely comb them without these products. Also, mask won't make your hair greasy at all.

Šampon i balzam dolaze u velikom pakovanju od 500ml, sa izuzetno kvalitetno odrađenom pumpicom za doziranje. Maska dolazi u kutiji od 250ml. Sva tri proizvoda imaju istu cenu - 449 dinara. Takođe moram da prokomentarišem i sastav ovih proizvoda. Na slici ispod odozgo na dole okačila sam sastave šampona, balzama i maske. Da...šampon sadrži SLS i zato i pravi dobru penu, ali iskreno ja to volim kod šampona. Želim penu. Tako da mi ne smeta kada šamponi imaju SLS iako je u modi izbegavati ovaj sastojak. Kod balzama već drugi sastojak je glicerin, ali kao i ostali proizvodi sadrži parabene. Maska je naravno najzanimljivija sastavom, pa pored arganovog ulja i glicerina u masci takođe imamo i ricinusovo ulje i to visoko na spisku sastojaka. Međutim tu je i Paraffinum Liquidum koji se pretvara da hidrira i zaglađuje i koji ne volim.

Shampoo and conditioner come in a packaging of 500 ml, with a very well made dosing pump. The mask comes in a box of 250ml. All three products have the same price - 449 RSD. I also have to comment on the composition of these products. On the picture below from top to bottom you can see composition of shampoo, conditioner and mask. Yes ... shampoo contains SLS and that's why it makes nice foam, but honestly I like that in shampoos. I want foam. So, I do not mind when shampoos have SLS, although it is fashionable to avoid this ingredient. In conditioner the second ingredient is glycerin, but like other products it also containing parabens. The mask has, of course, the most interesting composition, and in addition to argan oil and glycerin, the mask also contains castor oil and it is high on the ingredient list. However it also contains Paraffinum Liquidum which just pretends to moisturize and smooths, and which I don't like.

Na slici ispod s leva na desno možete da vidite šampon, balzam i masku. Svi su svetle kajsija boje. Sve u svemu sastav ovih proizvoda je prilično standardan, za ovaj cenovni rang. Ipak ovi proizvodi prijaju mojoj kosi, lepo mirišu, nisu skupi i sadrže arganovo ulje, pa mi je drago da sam ih kupila i probala.

On the photo below from left to right you can see the shampoo, conditioner and mask. All are bright peachy colour. All in all, the composition of these products is pretty standard for this price range. However, my hair likes these products, they smell nice, are inexpensive and contain argan oil, so I am glad that I bought and tried them.

Da li ste primetili nove StillPro proizvode i da li ste ih probali? Volite li da koristite arganovo ulje za negu vaše kose?

Nyx Liquid Suede Lipsticks - 07 Sandstorm & 05 Orange County

Ovo je priča o moja dva nova ljubimca. Nyx je među svoje karmine ubacio novu liniju tečnih kremstih mat karmina - Liquid Suede. Ova linija ima čak 12 nijansi, koje su veoma različite i idu od potpuno nude do svetlo ljubičaste i sivkasto plave. Cena ovih karmina je 850 dinara, a ja sam se odlučila za dve nijanse. Jedna je nude i to je možda i najpopoluranija nijansa od svih 07 Sandstorm. Druga je drečavo narandžasta, s obzirom da je to moja omiljena boja - 05 Orange County.


This is the story of my two new loves. Nyx added a new line of liquid lipstick with matte finish - Liquid Suede. This line has 12 shades, which are very diverse, ranging from a fully nude to light purple and grey-blue. The price of these lipsticks is 850 RSD, and I decided to buy two of them. One is nude and perhaps the most popular shade of all - 07 Sandstorm. The second one is a flashy orange, since that is my favourite colour - 05 Orange County.

Svi ruževi imaju 4ml. Dolaze u veoma čvrstom plastičnom pakovanju sa sunđerastim aplikatorom. Aplikator mi se veoma sviđa jer je malo iskošen, a takođe je i spljošten, pa lepše leže na usne. Formula je kremasta i lagana, vodootporna i zaista veoma pigmentovana. Čak se i nude nijanse vrlo teško skidaju sa kože. Sadrže ulje avokada i vitamin E koji neguju kožu. Formula me je zaista oduševila. Samo jedan sloj daje potpuno prekrivanje i to kod obe nijanse koje imam. Vrlo se lako nanose precizno, pošto je formula srednje gusta. Za oko minut se osuše na usnama i zatim ne mrdaju nigde.


All lipsticks have 4 ml. They come in a solid plastic packaging with sponge applicator. I like the applicator a lot, because it is a little angled and also flattened, so it nicely touches the lips during application. The formula is creamy and light, waterproof and indeed very pigmented. Even the nude shades are very difficult to remove from the skin. They contain avocado oil and vitamin E to nourish the skin. I was really impressed by the formula. Only one layer provides full coverage in case of both shades I have. It is very easy to apply them with precision, as the formula has medium density. In about a minute after application the lipstick is dry on the lips and then it won't move anywhere.

Ruževi preživljavaju i jelo i piće. Obrišu se jedino iz centra usana ako jedete masnu hranu. Kada se osuše na čašama ostaju minimalni tragovi. Treba jedino paziti pošto se zbog tećne formule preslikavaju na zube u tih prvih par minuta dok se ne osuše ili ako ih na usnama ima previše. Ne ulaze u borice, ravnomerno boje usne i ujednačeno se brišu i to tek nakon 4 do 5 sati. Ne razlivaju se i stoje tamo gde ste ih namazali. Formula je odlična i zbog toga što i pored mat izgleda na usnama, ne isušuje i ne zateže, već je zapravo vrlo prijatna.


Lipsticks survive eating and drinking. They will erase only from the centre of the lips if you eat greasy food. When dry they leave minimal traces on the glass if you drink something. You should be careful, since because of the liquid formula they can stain teeth in those first few minutes until they are dry or if  there are to much of the lipstick on the lips. They won't fill the fine lines, evenly colour lips and uniformly erase after 4 to 5 hours. Also, they won't move and stay where you apply them. Formula is also excellent since despite the matte finish they don't dry out lips, but are actually pleasant.

Mislim da su ovo karmini koji su konačno uspeli da reše sve nedostatke mat karmina, koje smo morali da trpimo zarad lepog mat izgleda usana. Nijansa 07 Sandstorm je srednje svetla bež nijansa, toplog podtona, ali sa sivkasto pepeljastim nijansama, pa nije baš za svakoga. Daje vrlo moderan izgled usana, ali nije za osobe koje ne žele da izgledaju po malo vamp. Nijansa je vrlo čudna, čini da izgledate lepo, a opet i nekako bolesno. Ja obožavam ovakve nijanse, ali mislim da je dobra rečenica moje sestre kada ga je prvi put videla na meni: "Što izgledaš kao da si mrtva?". Od ovog karmina ne odvajam se nikad. Od kada ga imam skoro samo njega nosim. Za devojke koje vole prirodne nijanse na usnama, ali bez tog čudnog efekta, obavezno probajte nijansu 04 Soft Spoken, koja ima malo rozeg u sebi i više je boja mesa.


I think these lipsticks finally managed to solve all the shortcomings of matte lipstick we have to suffer for the sake of good matte looking lips. Shade 07 Sandstorm is a medium bright beige hue, with warm undertones, but with a grayish ashy tone, so it's not for everyone. It gives a very modern lip look, but it's not for people who do not want to look a little vamp. Shade is very strange, it makes you look beautiful, and yet somehow sick. I love these shades on me, but I think a good description of the shade is in my sisters words when she first saw it on me: "Why do you look like you're dead?". I never separate from this lipstick. Since I have bought it I almost only wear this lipstick. For girls who love natural colour of the lips, but without this strange effect, you must try shade 04 Soft Spoken, which has little pink in it and is more a flesh colour.

S druge strane tu je i drečava 05 Orange County, koja je srednje tamna veoma drečava narandžasta. Sviđa mi se pošto ne vuče na crveno, a nije ni presvetla. Nju nosim ređe pošto je upečatljivija, ali čekam leto i šarene haljine pa da je uposlim malo više.


On the other hand I also have shade 05 Orange County, which is a medium dark very flashy orange. I like it since it does not pull on red and it's not too light. I wear it less often since it is brighter, but I'm waiting for the summer and colourful dresses so I can use it a little more.

Oduševljena sam ovim ruževima, i pretpostavljam da neću odoleti i da ću morati da kupim još neku nijansu. Ovi ruževi su moj apsolutni HG tečni ruževi! Da li ste ih vi probali, a ako niste zašto niste?!

Avon Care Cocoa Butter Rich Cream

Nisu li multifunkcionalni proizvodi mnogo dobra i korisna stvar? Htela sam na brzinu da vam pomenem jedan takav proizvod koji mi se mnogo svideo, a za koji ste vervatno i čuli. Reč je o puteru za lice, ruke i telo iz Avon Care linije. Sadrži kako puter, vitamin E, ulje avokada, makadamije, grožđa i drugih biljaka, kao i ureu i glicerin. Miriše savršeno, na kakao i čokoladu. Ova Avonova linija proizvoda pored putera sadrži i druge proizvode. Ja sam kupila veliko pakovanje putera od 400ml i platila ga samo 349 dinara, a puna cena mu je 550 dinara.

Aren't multifunctional products a very good and useful thing? I just wanted to quickly mention one such product that I enjoy a lot, and which you might already know. It is a face, hands and body butter from Avon Care product line. It contains cocoa butter, vitamin E, avocado, macadamia, grape and other plant oils, as well as urea and glycerin. It smells perfect like cocoa and chocolate. This Avon's product line also has other products. I bought large 400ml packaging of butter and paid only 349 RSD. The full price is 550 RSD.

Puter je srednje gust i nije masan. Nakon mazanja odmah se upija i nije lepljiv. Koristila sam ga na telu i odlično je negovao. Čak se borio i sa suvim delovima u toku zime. Mazala sam ga i na ruke i stopala i čak se i tu pokazao dobro. Nije dovoljno jak za veoma ispucalu i suvu kožu, ali za svakodnevnu negu je odličan. Na lice ga nisam nanosila. Probala sam ga jednom i malo mi je prejak jer je moja koža ipak masna, ali nekome sa suvljom kožom neće biti loš.

Butter is medium thick and non greasy. After application it is immediately absorbed and is not sticky. I used it on the body and it nourished it excellently. It even fought dry areas during the winter. I apply it on my hands and feet and it is good for this, too. It is not strong enough for a very chapped and dry skin, but for daily care it is excellent. I didn't use it on my face. I tried it once and it was a little too strong because my skin is oily, but for someone with drier skin it won't be bad.

Puterom sam prezadovoljna i ovo veliko pakovanje traje zaista dugo. Da li ste probali nešto iz ove mirišljave Avon kolekcije proizvoda? Da li volite ovakve multifunkcionlne proizvode?

I'm very happy with this butter and this large packaging lasts a really long time. Have you already tried something from this nice smelling Avon product line? Do you like this kind of multifunctional products?

Kupovina četkica preko AliExpress-a

Pre par meseci rešila sam da naručim četkice sa AliExpressa. Na ovom sajtu mogu se naći veoma jeftine stvari, kao i kopije mnogo skupljih brendova. Iskreno jako volim ovaj sajt, i ako znate kako da kupujete možete zaista odlično da prođete, bilo da kupujete četkice za šminkanje, odeću ili stvari za kuću. Do popularnosti ovog sajta došlo je mahom zbog velikog broja prodavaca koji robu šalju uz vrlo malu ili potpuno besplatnu poštarinu, što nije tako česta pojava na drugim popularnim sajtovima za kupovinu. 

A few months ago I decided to order some makeup brushes from AlliExpress. Here you can find very cheap items, as well as copies of the more expensive brands. Honestly, I really like this site, and if you know how to make a purchase you can really find great deals, no matter what you're buying, makeup brushes, clothes or stuff for your home. The popularity of the web site has been large mainly due to the vast number of vendors who send their goods with small or totally free shipping, which is not so common on other popular shopping web sites.

Šta god da kupujete, moj vam je savet da kupujete stvari koji je kupio veći broj ljudi, a posebno su bitni komentari kupaca koji se nalaze ispod svakog predmeta koji se prodaje. Tu možete da vidite koliko brzo pošiljkama obično treba da stignu, da li je konkretan prodavac korektan i da li je sa njim lako komunicirati, da li je poslao naručenu robu i da li je ona bila oštćena ili ne. Naravno u slučaju da vam narudžbina ne stigne, stigne oštećena ili pogrešna roba, postoji period u kom možete da se žalite i dobićete novac nazad. Veoma bitno je što kupci u komentarima često kače i slike proizvoda koji im je stigao, pa na tim slikama možete videti kako proizvod zaista izgleda i kakav mu je kvalitet.  

Whatever you buy, my advice to you is to buy items that a lot of people has bought. Especially relevant are comments of customers which are located below each object being sold. Here you can see how fast shipments arrives, whether a particular vendor is good and easy to communicate with, did he send the right item and whether it arrived damaged or not. Of course, in case your order doesn't arrive, arrives damaged, or its a wrong item, you have some time to complain and get your money back. Very important is that customers often share images of products that arrived, so in these pictures you can see how the product actually looks like and what is its quality.

Ja sam sa AliExpressa naručivala svašta, a neke pošiljke iz Kine su stizale i za manje od dve nedelje. Često ćete ipak morati da čekate malo duže, možda i do mesec ili dva. Zvezde ovog posta su pak dve četkice za šminkanje. Jedna je kopija Tarte četkice za konturiranje, a druga čuvene MAC četkice za podlogu u obliku četkice za zube.

I ordered a lot of things from AliExpress, and some shipments from China came in less than two weeks. Often, you'll still have to wait a little longer, perhaps up to a month or two. The stars of this post are two makeup brushes. One is a copy of Tarte contouring brush, and the other is a copy of a famous MAC foundation brush that looks like a toothbrush.

Tarte četkica za konturiranje je bar kod mene izazvala ljubav na prvi pogled, a moram reći i dodir. Vrlo je velika, ima ogromnu pljosnatu dršku od bambusa. Dlačice su dvobojne i srednje gustina. Po mekoći u gustini zapravo najviše podseća na Real Tecniques Expert Face Brush, ali je više nego duplo šira. Dolazi upakovana u gumenu kesicu.


Tarte contouring brush was love at first sight, but also at first touch. It is very large, has a huge flat bamboo handle. The hairs are two-coloured and have medium density. When it comes to softness and density it actually resembles the Real Tecniques Expert Face Brush the most, but it is more than twice as wide. It comes with a rubber bag.

Ova četkica nije dobra za nanošenje tamnijih nijansi za konturiranje (zbog svoje širine), ali je idealna za njihovo razmazivanje i blendanje. Takođe odlična je i za hajlajtere i rumenilo. Savršene je debljine, mekoće i gustine. Odlično se snalazi i sa manje i sa više pigmentovanim rumenilima. Ja je jednako koristim u sve gore navedene svrhe i obožavam je! Jedna je od četkica koje koristim svakodnevno. Kvalitet kopije je odličan. Ni jedna dlačica nije ispala ni nakon pranja. Sve je čvrsto i lepo zalepljeno, a dlačice su beskrajno meke i prijatne, Cena ove četkice bila je 5.45 $.


This is not a good brush to apply darker shades for contouring, but it's ideal for blending and smudging. Also it is excellent for highlighters and blushes. It has perfect thickness, softness and density. It handles more and less pigmented blushes the same. I use it in all of the above mentioned purposes and I love it! One of the brushes that I use on a daily basis. The quality is excellent. None of the hairs have fallen out even after washing. Everything is nice and tightly put together, the hairs are infinitely soft and pleasant. The price of the brush was brush 5.45 $.

MAC četkica u obliku četkice za zube je sada već veoma poznat i zanimljiv pokušaj MAC-a da uvede novine u način na koji se šminkamo. Kinezi su naravno i ovo iskopirali, pa je na AliExpress-u moguće kupiti mnogo raznih veličina ovih četkica, i to odvojeno ili u setovima. Ja sam kupila četkicu koja bi trebalo da je namenjena nanošenju podloge na lice.


MAC Brush in the form of a toothbrush is now a very famous and interesting MAC-a attempt to introduce innovations in the way the put on makeup. The Chinese copied it of course, so AliExpress offers many different sizes of these brushes, separately or in sets. I bought a toothbrush brush that should be intended for applying foundation to the face.

Srednje je veličine i veoma gusta. Dlačice su prilično tvrde, ali ni nakoji način neprijatne. Zbog gustine, čini mi se, četkica upija minimalnu količinu proizvoda što mi se jako sviđa. Iako se četkica drži drugačije od klasičnih nije problem sa njom razmazati puder. S ovom četkicom nekako razmazujem puder kao da ga razmazujem po nekom papiru ravnim potezima, dok klasičnim četkicama pravim više kružne pokrete. Iako treba malo da se naviknete na drugačije držanje četkice i njenu tvrdoću, nanošenje podloge sa njom je zabavno i lako. Puder nanosi u tankom sloju i on na koži izgleda lepo.

Medium-sized and very dense. The hairs are quite stiff, but in no way unpleasant. It seems to me that because of the density brush absorbs minimum quantity of foundation, which I really like. Although holding the brush is different from classic ones it is no problem to apply the foundation. With this brush I apply foundation using straight movements, like I was applying it to some paper, while with conventional brushes I mostly use circular motions. Although it takes a little to get used to a different grasp of the brush and its hardness, application with it is fun and easy. Foundation is applied in a thin layer and looks nice on the skin.

Četkica ima samo jednu manu, barem ova kineska kopija. Drška četkice je vrlo tanka, i osećam kako je pri korišćenju pod naponom ako se četkica više pritiska, pa treba paziti da ne pukne. Neki komentari na sajtu kažu da je drška pucala i u toku slanja. Ja sam je naručila zato zajedno sa Tarte četkicom, pa ju je ona štitila od uvijanja i pucanja. Cena četkice je bila 3.89 $.

The brush has only one flaw, at least this Chinese copy. The handle of the brush is very thin, and I feel it bending a bit if I use more pressure during application, so be careful not to break it. Some comments on the web site say that the handle broke during shipment. Therefore I ordered it together with Tarte brush, so it protected it from twisting and cracking. The price of the brush was 3.89 $.

Sa obe četkice sam prezadovoljna. Imaju dobar izgled, kvalitet, brzina dostave je dobra, a i cena. Da li imate neku od ove dve četkice? Da li naručujete sa Ali Expressa? Ja sam se baš navukla! Evo danas mi je baš stigla jakna, koja je zaista super izrade, ništa joj ne fali. Linkovi sa kojih sam kupila ;etike su: Tarte, MAC.


I am very satisfied with both brushes. They look good, have good quality, delivery is fast and their price is low. Do you have any of these two brushes? Do you order from Ali Express? I am really hooked! A jacket I ordered arrived today and it really looks great, there's nothing wrong with it. Links which I used to buy these brushes are: Tarte, MAC.
