Kanta Vol. 2

Kako sam odlučila da pišem postove sa kantom za smeće svaki put kada se nakupi deset potrošenih proizvoda, došao je red i na sledeću turu kandidata za bacanje. Pređimo odmah na stvar:

Since I decided to write posts about garbage every time I collect ten spent items, the time has come for me to write my second garbage post. Let's get right to it:

- Body Drench piling za telo od malina - divno je mirisao i izgledao kao džem. Bio je dobar i kupiću ga nekada opet. Sadrži 170g i košta 550 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Lush Mask of Magnaminty - predobra, tugujem što je Lush otišao iz Srbije. Ima 125 g a cena je 765 dinara . Ocena 5/5.

- Bioderma Sebium micelarna - predobra, najbolja d svih koje sam probala, samo u Srbiji i preskupa. Ova od 250ml koštala je 1523 dinara. Ocena 4/5 samo zbog cene.

- Balea okoloočnak krema - nije loša, fino hidrira kožu, ali ako imate zahtevniju i suvu kožu te regije, možda će vam biti potrebno nešto jače. Ima 15ml i košta 339 dinara . Ocena 3/5.

- Kräuterhof anticelulit gel - nije loš, jedan od boljih koje sam do sad koristila. Ima 250ml a cena mu je 753 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Caudalie Beauty Elixir - nista specijalno, još me i peče ponekad kad ga nanesem. Zaobilazim ga u buduće. Ima 30ml, brzo se troši, a košta 1371 dinar. Ocena 3/5.



- Body Drench Body Scrub raspberry - it smelled wonderful and looked like jam. It was good and I will buy it once again. Contains 170g and costs 550 dinars. Score 4/5.

- Lush Mask of Magnaminty - phenomenal, I mourn the fact that Lush went from Serbia. There are 125g inside and the price is 765 dinars. Awarded 5/5.

- Bioderma Sebium micellar solution - phenomenal, the best from all I've tasted, but very expensive in Serbia. It contains 250ml and cost 1523 dinars. Score 4/5 only because of the price.

- Bale eye cream - not bad, hydrates the skin nicely, but if you have more demanding, dry skin of that region, you may need something stronger. There is 15ml in it and the price is 339 dinars. Score 3/5.

- Kräuterhof anticellulite gel - not bad, one of the better ones I've ever used. Contains 250ml and its price is 753 dinars. Score 4/5.

- Caudalie Beauty Elixir - nothing special, it burns sometimes when you apply it. I'll avoid it in the future. Contains 30ml, quickly consumed, and costs 1371 dinars. Score 3/5.

- Avon Skin So Soft mleko za telo sa arganovim uljem - nije lose, malo je gušće ali se brzo upija i lepo hrani. Miriše nekako parfemski. Ima 250ml i košta 610 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Garnier Intensive Care krema za ruke sa alantoinom - odlična. Kupila sam je zimi i mazala svaki dan od tad, a tek sam je sad potrošila. Suve ruke sređuje u dva mazanja. Najbolja koju sam do sad probala. Ima 100ml a košta oko 250 dinara. Ocena 5/5.

- Caudalie gel za tuširanje bez sapuna - dobila sam ovaj tester od 75ml i prilično sam se razočarala. Miris je previše blag. Takođe peni baš slabo pa mora tona da se stavi. Ocena 2/5.

- Oriflame Carbon Black ajlajner u stiku - dobar ali ako se jače pritisne hoće da se odlomi. Imam ga sto godina i nije se potrošio. Bacam jer mu je prošao rok. Ima 25g, a cene se ne sećam.

Toliko od mene za danas. :)

- Avon Skin So Soft Body Milk with Argan Oil - not bad, a little thicker but it is quickly absorbed and nourishes well. It smells kind of perfumy. Contains 250ml and costs 610 dinars . Score 4/5.

- Garnier Intensive Care hand cream with allantoin - excellent. I bought it in the winter and applied it every day since then and it lasted until now. Dry hand fixes in two applications. The best I've tested so far. It has 100ml and costs around 250 dinars. Score 5/5.

- Caudalie Shower Gel Soap-free - I got this tester with 75ml and I was pretty disappointed. The smell is too bland. It makes foam very hard so you have to use a lot of it. Score 2/5.

- Oriflame Carbon Black eyeliner stick - good but if you want press firmly it will break off. I got it such a long time ago and I didn't spend it whole. I tosing it because it is overdue. There are 25g in it, and the prices I cannot remember.

Enough from me for today. :)

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

 Verovatno svi već znaju kako se ovaj proizvod hvali na sva zvona. Ja sam svoj kupila na ovogodišnjem sajmu kozmetike. Do tad nisam gledala koliko košta, pa pravu cenu tada nisam znala. Platila sam ga 1500 dinara. Kupila sam manju bočicu od 30ml. Posle sam otišla do apoteke da pogledam regularnu cenu i videla da piše 1371 dinar. Tako da ne da nisam uštedela nego sam i platila više...
Od njega očekivala sam svašta, a sada kad sam ga probala nekako nije ispunio sva moja očekivanja. Doduše kada razmislim od ovog proizvoda ne bi trebalo previše da se očekuje. Ovo je ipak kao i bilo koja termalna voda samo ima i dodatak nekih ulja.

Pakovanje je prelepo, stakleno sa pumpicom. Šteta je to što da biste raspršili ovaj eliksir preko celig lica treba vam nekoliko pritisaka na pumpicu, tako da se prilično brzo troši. Namenjen je svim tipovima kože i na bazi je grejpfruta, ruzmarina, ruže i cveta pomorandže. Miris je meni lično lep ali je takav da se mnogima verovatno neće svideti. Takođe je i prilično jak, no kada se eliksir upije, što je prilično brzo, miris nestaje. Ne sadrži paraben i fenoksietanol.


Everyone probably already knows how praised this product is. I bought it at the cosmetics fair. Until then I hadn't seen its cost so I didn't know it at the time I bought it. I paid 1500 dinars for it. I bought a small bottle of 30ml. After that I went to the pharmacy to see regular price and I saw that it is 1371 dinars. So not only that I haven't saved any money, I even paid more for it...
I expected a lot from it, but now that I tried it, it didn't meet my expectations. However when I think about it now you shouldn't expect too much from it anyway. This is still just like any thermal water with addition of some oils.

Packaging is beautiful, made of glass with a sprayer. It is a pity that you need to press the pump a few times to cover your whole face, since the bottle won't last long. It is designed for all skin types, and based on the grapefruit, rosemary, rose and orange blossom. The scent is nice to me personally, but many people probably won't like it. It is also quite strong, but when elixir is absorbed, which is pretty fast, the smell disappears. It doesn't contain parabens and phenoxyethanol.

Ja sam ga uvek nanosila nakon umivanja. Kako se ja umivam Sephora četkom koja radi blagi piling ovaj eliksir mi u takvim situacijama izaziva blago peckanje. Osećaj na koži je kao da je hladi pa da to pecka. No probala sam da ga nanesem u toku dana kada mi lice nije sveže "izčetkano" i tada me ne pecka. Brzo se upija i koža izgleda nekako lepše. Pod prstima koža je zaglađena, mada iako kažu da ovaj eliksir sužava pore, osim pod prstima pore ne izgledaju ni malo sužene.

Moram da napomenem ovde da su mi bubuljice koje mi izlaze zbog hormona u toku ciklusa po čelu izašle mnogo gore nego inače od kada ga koristim. Da budem iskrena sumnjam da je ovaj proizvod zaista kriv za ovo, jer sigurno ne sužava pore dovoljno da bude realni krivac. Možda mi je bio samo takav mesec. No moje je da napomenem. Kada su mi prošle bubuljice od ciklusa, eliksir nije izazivao nikakve nove probleme.

Sve u svemu vidim da ovaj eliksir lepo hidrira moju kožu i da joj koristi, no što se izgleda kože tiče razlika nije drastična. Na kraju krajeva ovo je ipak samo voda obogaćena koječim. :) Eliksir mi se svideo, no sumnjam da ću ga nešto mnogo kupovati, jer nije jeftin a nije ni čudotvoran, barem kod mene.

Šta mi se svidelo:
- pakovanje,
- nakon nanošenja koža izleda svežije,
- na dodir koža je zaglađena i elastična.

Šta mi se nije svidelo:
- cena,
- brzo se troši,
- pore ne izgledaju sužene,
- miris je prilično jak i mnogima se neće svideti,
- ako ga nanosim posle umivanja Sephora četkom pecka me.

I've always applied it after washing my face. I wash my face with Sephora brush which performes gentle exfoliation and in this situation this elixir causes a tingling sensation. The feeling on the skin is cooling and tingling. I tried to apply it during the day when my face is not freshly "brushed" and there was no tingling sensation. It is quickly absorbed and the skin looks nicer. Under my fingers the skin was smooth, but even though they say this elixir tightens pores, except under my fingers they didn't look any smaller.

I have to mention here that my pimple outburst because of hormones during the cycle were much worse than usual on my forehead since I started using this elixir. To be honest I doubt that this product is the one to blame, because it certainly doesn't tighten pores sufficiently to be the one to blame for this. Maybe it was just a bad month. But I still have to mention this. When my pimples from that cycle disappeared, the elixir didn't cause any new problems.

All in all, I noticed that this beautiful elixir moisturizes my skin and that it is good for me, but I didn't see any drastic difference in my skin. At the end this is still just a water enriched with all kinds of stuff. :) I liked it, but I doubt that I will buy it often, because it isn't cheap and it isn't miraculous, at least for me.

What I liked:
- Packaging,,
- After applying it the skin looks refreshed,
- The skin is smooth and elastic under the fingers.

What I didn't like:
- Price,
- Is quickly spent,
- Pores don't seem narrower,
- The smell is pretty strong, and many won't like it,
- If you apply it after washing your face with Sephora brush it causes little burning and tingling sensation.

21. međunarodni kongres i sajam kozmetike - izveštaj i ulov

Kud svi tu i mali Mujo. Bila sam i ja juče na sajmu! Moji utisci su onako osrednji. Nekako mi je sajam izgledao malecko. No nije to ni glavni razlog za ovakav moj utisak. 50% su bili zastupljeni štandovi posvećeni noktima, koji meni nisu toliko zanimljivi. 30% su bili štandovi posvećeni kosi i frizerima. Tek 15% štandova je posvećeno preparativi, a samo 5% dekorativi. Čak mislim da je i ovih 5% preterivanje :). Kao prirodnjak u duši sve sam vam izdelila na procente. Kako je meni dekorativa najzanimljivija pa onda preparativa, nisam imala mnogo štandova za koje bih se zalepila.


Where everybody goes, little Mujo goes, too. I went to the cosmetics fair yesterday! My impressions are mediocre. Somehow it seemed a bit small. But this is not even the main reason for my impression. 50% of stands was committed to nails, which are not that interesting to me. 30% were stands dedicated to hair and hairdressing. Only 15% of stands were devoted to skincare, and only 5% to makeup. I even think that 5% is an overstatement :). As a scientist at heart I have summed everything in percentages. As I am interested in makeup, and than in skincare products, I didn't have a lot of stands that I would be drawn to.

Aleksandar cosmetics je zaposeo čitavu trecinu hale i doneo tonu stvari na prodaju. No nisam primetila nikakvo sniženje kod njih ili je toliko mikroskopsko da skinu po dinar, dva sa proizvoda. To je malo razočaravajuće od njih. Drugi štandovi su  uglavnom imali sniženja. Takođe mnogi štandovi su imali mogućnost plaćanja i karticom što su se lepo dosetili da bi devojke mogle da kupuju i kada potroše pare koje su ponele. Dobro za njih loše za naše džepove, ali same smo krive.

No, ja sam prilično zadovoljna svojim ulovom. Srednjeg je gabarita, a za neke stvarčice sam dosta jeftinije prošla. Sve u svemu veoma sam zadovoljna. Evo mog ulova:


Alexander cosmetics has spread to the third of the hall and brought a ton of stuff for sale. But I have not noticed any price reduction or is was so microscopic that they removed maybe a dinar or two from the full price of products. It's a little disappointing of them. Other stands generally had lower prices. Also many booths had the option of paying with the credit card, so girls who already spent all their planned money could shop even more. Good for them, bad for our pockets, but it's our own fault.

I'm pretty happy with my catch. It is medium sized, and some stuff I've bought a lot cheaper. All in all I'm very pleased. Here's my catch:

Kupila sam:
- Arcocere vosak za depilaciju (kapućino), koji je namenjen osetljivijoj koži, a može da izvuče i jače dlake.
- Arcocere ulje za posle depilacije sa kokosom, namenjeno uklanjanju ostatka voska a i za smirivanje kože.
- Kristal trake za depilaciju (50 komada).



I bought:
- Arcocere wax for hair removal (cappuccino), which is intended for sensitive skin, but can also pull out even stronger hair.
- Arcocere after waxing oil with coconut, for removing wax residue and for soothing the skin.
- Kristal waxing strips (50 pieces).

- Ardell Natural veštačke trepavice, koje nisu jako velike i mislim da će biti odlične za dnevnu šminku, da se uopšte ne primeti da su stavljene veštačke trepavice.
- Body Drench piling za telom sa malinama, koji sam morala da kupim pošto izgleda identično kao džem, a vala i miriše kao džem. Nisam probala kakav je ukus, mada je moja sestra morala i da lizne da se uveri da nije džem.



- Ardell Natural false eyelashes, which are not that big and I think they would be great for a daytime makeup, and that it won't be obvious that these are fake.
- Body Drench Body Scrub with raspberries, which I had to buy since it looked exactly like jam and also smelled like jam. I didn't try what it tastes like, although my sister had to lick it and make sure it wasn't jam.

- Caudalie Beauty Elixir od 30ml - čuveni proizvod na bazi grejpfruta, ruzmarina, ruže i cvetova pomorandže, koji bi trebalo da sužava pore i popravlja ten. Mnogi su ga hvalili, a neki i nisu. Ja se samo nadam da će na meni raditi i da ću ja biti jedna od onih koji ga hvale.
- Lierac Dioptigel redukujući gel za kesice ispod očiju - veoma sam uzbuđena što sam ovo kupila pošto od kad znam za sebe budim se sa buhtlicama ispod očiju, pa ako mi ovo pomogne slaviću na sva zvona.
- Caudalie kupka koju sam dobila kada sam kupila njihov eliksir i Lierac okoloočnu kremicu. Bez sapuna je i bez parabena.
- China Glaze Texture lak za nokte u nijansi koja se zove Itty, bitty, gritty. Zanimljiv nazv i zanimljiva boja.



- Caudalie Beauty Elixir 30ml - famous product based on grapefruit, rosemary, orange blossom and rose, which is supposed to reduce pores and improve the complexion. Many praise it, but some are not. I just hope it will work for me and that I will be one of those who praise it.
- Lierac Dioptigel Puffiness Reduction Gel - I am very excited that I bought this because ever since I can remember I was waking up with little puffs under my eyes, so if it helps me I will celebrate with bells ringing.
- Caudalie Shhower Gel that I got as a present when I bought their Elixir and Lierac Dioptigel. It is soap-free and paraben-free.
- China Glaze Texture nail polish in shade called Itty, bitty, gritty. Very interesting name and also an interesting shade.

- Mineralza četkice za šminku i to odozgo: small chisel eye brush od samurove dlake, flat top eye brush od kozije dlake i flat top foundation brush od konjske dlake. Zbog ovih četkica sam takođe mnogo srećna. Nadam se da su dobre, jako su mekane i na prvi pogled mi se čine odlične.


Ali to nije sve što sam kupila tog dana! Kako se uporedo sa ovim sajmom održavao i sajam hortikulture kupila sam i sledeće dve biljčice:



- Mineralza makeup brushes and from the top they are: small chisel eye brush with sable hair, flat top eye brush with goat hair, and a flat top foundation brush made of horse hair. I'm also very happy that I bought these brushes. I hope they are good, they are very soft and at first glance seem to be excellent.

But that's not the only thing I bought that day! Along with cosmetics fair horticulture fair was organized too, so I bought two little plants:

Kaktusčići su jako su malecki i jedva čekam da ih presadim u tu veću saksiju koju vidite na slici. Taman imam praznine za njih. Veliki sam ljubitelj pustinjskih biljčica.
Toliko od mene za danas. Ako nekoga zanimaju cene ili detaljnije o nekom proizvodu neka pita. Svakako ću pisati detaljnije o nekim proizvodima koje sam kupila.



Cacti are very tiny and I cannot wait to replant them into a larger pot that you can see in the picture. I have great gaps just for them. I am a big fan of desert plants.
Enough from me for today. If you're interested in prices or details about any product I showed you, just ask. I'll definitely write more about some of the products that I bought.
