Omiljeno ove zime

Došlo nam je prolece! Oni koji imaju sreće sada su na planini i skijaju na posledjem snegu, a mi koji to ne možemo barem uživamo u suncu i lepom vremenu. Meni je ovu zimu, iako je bila blaga, obeležilo nekoliko dana skijanja koje sam srećom imala. Pa samim tim i proizvodi kojima sam se najčešće vraćala bili su proizvodi koji hrane kožu, a od šminke to je najčešće bilo nešto sa SPF-om, nude boje i brza i prirodna šminka.

The spring is here! Those who are fortunate are now on the mountain skiing on the last snow of the year, and those who can't do this are at least enjoying the sun and warm weather. For me this winter, even though it was very mild, was marked by few days of skiing that I fortunately had. And thus the products to which I have most frequently been returning were products for nourishing the skin, products with SPF, nude colours and fast and natural makeup.

Za početak izdvajam Kinesku nude paletu od 120 boja koja mi se jako sviđa, podjednako kao i šarena o kojoj sam pisala ovde. I ova paleta ima mnogo senki dobre pigmentacije, koje se ne krune.

To begin with I want to single out the Chinese 120 eyeshadow nude palette that I really like, just as mush I like the colorful version I wrote about here. This palette has many shades of good pigmentation, which don't crumble.

Zatim tu je Missha Perfect Cover BB krema u nijansi 23, koja ima dobar SPF i koju sam rado mazala da mi ujednači ten i štiti od sunca. O njoj sam pisala ovde. Ne mogu da verujem da mi i dalje traje, a baš je dugo imam. Dobila sam je na blogu Missundaztood's Fragrance and Makeup Blog. Takođe volela sam i Golden Rose City Style maskaru koja daje veoma prirodan izgled trepavica. Njena recenzija je ovde.

Then there is the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade 23, which has a good SPF and I gladly used it even out my complexion and protect against sun. I wrote about it here. I cannot believe I still have it, since I own it for quite a long time. I got it on the Missundaztood's Fragrance and Makeup Blog. I also loved Golden Rose City Style mascara that makes a very natural looking eyelashes. Its review is here.

Od šminke kao što ćete videti preovlađuju prirodne nijanse. Mnogo sam volela Essence kremasto rumenilo u nijansi 030 Miss Peach, koje sam dobila od Taye sa bloga My Little Beauty World. Daje mnogo lep prirodan izgled licu a namažem ga za tri sekunde. Zatim tu je Sleek ruž o kom ću uskoro pisati u nijansi Barely There, kao i Flormar Deluxe Cashmere Lipstick Stylo DC36 koji već dugo obožavam i o kom sam pisala ovde.

As far as make-up goes nude shades are the most numerous, as you will see. I liked Essence Cream blush in 030 Miss Peach, which I got from Taya from My Little Beauty World blog. It gives a very nice natural looking face and I apply it in three seconds. Then there's Sleek lipstick in shade Barely There, about which I'll write soon. Also Flormar Deluxe Cashmere Lipstick Stilo DC36 which I like for a long time and that I wrote about here.

Potpuno savršena kombinacija senki koju u poslednje vreme stalno koristim i koje su mi bile omiljene ove zime su Aura Divine Eyes 61 Sun Kiss, 63 Snakeskin i 64 Cafe Au Lait. Inače post sa svim senkama iz ove linije je ovde. Ove tri senke su prelepe, pigmentovane, lepo se blendaju i ne krune se. Milina! Takođe tu je i jedan mali uljez Manhattan mono senka 101G Made of Steel, koja me baš podseća na zimu. Boja je između bele, sive i srebrne. Dobila sam je na blogu Zipa This.

Completely perfect combination of eye shadows that I've been using a lot lately and that were my favorite this winter are Aura Divine Eyes 61 Sun Kiss, 63 Snakeskin and 64 Cafe Au Lait. The post with all the shadows from this line is here. These eye shadows are gorgeous, pigmented, blend nicely, and don't crumble. Heaven! Also there is a small intruder Manhattan mono eyeshadow 101G Made of Steel, which just reminds me of the winter. The coulor is somewhere between white, gray and silver. I got it on the Zipa This blog.

I za kraj tri vrlo vredna dodatka preparativi u toku ove zime. Blistex MedPlus balzama za usne o kom sam pisala ovde. Omiljeni balzam za ekstremnije uslove. Savršen. Zatim dva proizvoda za noćnu negu koje sam rotirala. Balea Nature noćna krema koja me je oduševila jer je lagana i nemasna a dobro hidrira. Pišem o njoj uskoro obavezno! I Avon Planet Spa Heavenly Hydration ulje za lice koje tako dobro hrani kožu. Koža je ujutru jako mekana i elastična, prosto sam oduševljena. Isto pišem više uskoro!

I to bi bilo to! Šta ste vi voleli ove zime?

In the end, three very valuable additions to cosmetics during this winter. Blistex MedPlus lip balm which I've written about here. Favorite lip balm for extreme conditions. Perfect. Then two products for night care that I rotated. Balea Nature night cream, which I was delighted  about because it is light and non-greasy and hydrates well. I'll write about it soon for sure! Avon Planet Spa Heavenly Hydration facial oil that nourishes the skin so well. In the morning my skin is very soft and elastic, I'm just thrilled. I'll also write more soon! 

And that's it! What did you like this winter?

Fight Club Vol. #3 - Blistex Medplus VS La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres

VS   

Dugo nisam pisala ovaj tip posta, ali konačno sam naletela na dva proizvoda koji su slični i dobri su za upoređivanje - Blistex Medplus i La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres. 

Blistex Medplus dolazi u klasičnoj stik varijanti, dok LRP dolazi kao veoma gusta kremica u tubi. Pogledajte teksturu LRP-a:

I haven't written this type of post in a long time, but I finally stumbled across two products that are similar and are good for comparison - Blistex Medplus and La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Levres.

Blistex Medplus comes in classic stick packaging, while LRP is a very thick creams in a tube. Look at the texture of LRP:

Blistex ima sladak ukus i sadrži mentol i eukaliptus pa kada se namaže hladi usne. Ako me peku usne kada ga nanesem to prestaje iste sekunde. Prilično je masan i veoma prijatan u toku zime. S druge strane LRP ima isto neki slatkast ukus, ali nekako koncentrovaniji, i mene podseća na sirupe protiv kašlja. Ukus nije ružan, ali meni lično uopšte ne prija. Po teksturi me podseća na neke guste hranljive kreme za ruke. Peckanje isto prestaje kada ga nanesem, ali mi se on čini slabiji, i kada nestane sa usana, ne osećam da su mi usne toliko nahranjene i potrebno mi je da ga ponovo nanesem, dok je sa Blistex-om efekat ugodnosti na usnama ipak malo trajniji.

Blistex has a sweet taste and contains menthol and eucalyptus, and when applied it cools the lips. If my lips sting and hurt, when I apply it that stops in a second. It's pretty greasy and very nice during the winter. On the other hand, LRP also has a sweet taste, but somehow more concentrated, and reminds me of cough syrup. The taste is not ugly, but to me personally it isn't pleasant at all. The texture of LRP reminds me of some dense nourishing hand cream. The tingling sensation stops when you apply it, but it seems milder than Blistex, and when it dissapeares from the lips, I feel that my lips aren't that nourished and I need to reapply it, while Blistex has a more durable effect of  nourishment.

Sastav Blistex Medplus-a: 

Petrolatum, Cera Alba, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Jojoba Esters,  Ethylexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cera Microcristallina, Lanolin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Polyethylene, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Octocrylene, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Camphor, Menthol, Menthyl Lactate, Cetyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Aroma, Parfum, Saccharin, Thymol, Yellow Iron Oxide, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Flower Oil, Eugenol, Coumarin, Limonene.

Sastav LRP Cicaplast Levres :

Blistex sadrži 4.25g, košta oko 300 dinara, od otvaranja traje 12 meseci i ima SPF 15. Cicaplast ima 7.5 ml i košta pko 350 dinara, a od otvaranja isto traje 12 meseci. 

Blistex contains 4.25g, cost around 300 RSD, lasts 12 months from the time you open it and has SPF 15. Cicaplast has 7.5 ml, costs around 350 RSD, and also lasts 12 months from opening.

Kao što vidite nema mojih slika Blistex-a pošto ga nisam slikala dok je bio nov i lep, pa nisam htela da ga slikam sada izmučenog. A sad lepo da sumiram utiske i proglasim pobednika kroz jednu tabelicu.

As you can see there are no picture of my Blistex, because I haven't photographed it while it was new and pretty, so I didn't want to take any photos of it now, when it is ugly and used. Now to nicely sum up the impressions and announce winners in a table.
