Moje omiljene četkice

Četkice su veoma bitan deo procesa šminkanja, zapravo one su neophodne ako uopšte želimo da pokušamo da se našminkamo dobro. Ja jako volim da ih kupujem, ali isto tako ne želim da kupujem nerazumno skupe četkice luksuznih brendova, već se uvek opredeljujem za jeftine. I među njima mogu se naći odlične četkice, a u ovom postu sam htela da vam pokažem one koje ja lično najviše volim i kažem vam za šta volim da ih koristim. Sve male četkice retko kad su bile skuplje od 500 dinara, dok su velike za lice recimo oko 1500 dinara. Kod većine sam napisala cenu, ali za nekoliko nisam znala tako da ste ostali bez tačne cene.

Brushes are a very important part of any make-up, in fact, they are necessary if you want to apply your make-up well. I really like to buy them, but I also don't want to buy unreasonably expensive brushes from luxury brands, but I always decide to go cheap. Even here you can find excellent brushes, and in this post I wanted to show you the ones that I personally love the most and tell you what I use them for. All small brushes here are not more expensive than 500 RSD, while big ones are around 1500 RSD. I wrote most of the prices, but a few I didn't know so you'll have to remain without their exact prices.

Četkice za podlogu:

- Blush 32 - 620 din, Alexandar Cosmetics,

- Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - 1339 din, DM .

Dve realno vrlo slične četkice, meke i odlične za razmazivanje tečnog pudera. RT je malo manja i blago pljosnata dok je Blush okrugla. Po gustini i mekoći su veoma slične. Verovatno zbog manje veličine, RT upije manje proizvoda prilikom nanošenja.

Foundation brushes:

- Blush 32 - 620 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics,

- Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - 1339 RSD, DM.

Two realistically very similar brushes, soft and excellent for spreading liquid foundation. RT is slightly smaller and slightly flatter while Blush is round. The density and softness are very similar. RT absorb less foundation during application, probably because of the smaller size. 

Četkice za oči:
- Blush 14C - 320 din, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Blush 65E - 310 din, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Blush 14B - 320 din, Alexandar Cosmetics.


Brushes for the eyes:
- Blush 14C - 320 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Blush 65E - 310 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Blush 14B - 320 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics.

Voljene četkice za blendanje Blush 14B i 14C koristim svaki dan. 14C je kraća i zbog toga mnogo bolja u blendanju, pa je koristim za pregib kapka, dok dužu 14B koristim za svetlije nijanse koje nanosim ispod obrva i finalno blendanje ka pregibu. 65E je fenomenalna pencil četkica, tvrda taman koliko treba.

Beloved blending brushes Blush 14B and 14C I use every day. 14C is shorter and therefore much better at blending, and I use it for crease, while the longer one 14B I use for lighter shades that I apply below the eyebrows and for final blending toward the crease. 65E is a great pencil brush, with just the right firmness.

Četkice za nanošenje senki:

- Cala 313 - 329 din, Alexandar Cosmetics,

- Essence četkica za senke - oko 250 din, Lilly, DM,

- Ubu 36 Smudger Brush - deo kompleta, DM,

- Mineralza Small Chisel Eye Brush - 500 din, preko FB.  

Brushes for the application of eye shadows:

- Cala 313 - 329 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics,

- Essence Eye Shadow Brush - around 250 RSD, Lilly, DM,

- Ubu 36 Smudger Brush - part of a set, DM,

- Mineralza Small Chisel Eye Brush- 500 RSD, on FB.

Četkice za nanošenje senke preko celog kapka su prilično proste i pred njima nisu veliki zahtevi, a moje omiljene su Essence i Cala 313. Tu su i dve vrlo specifične četkice Ubu za razmazivanje i Mineralza za veoma precizno naošenje.

Brushes for application of eye shadows across the eyelid are quite simple, without any demanding tasks before them. My favourite ones are Essence and Cala 313. There are also two very specific brushes in this group, Ubu for smudging  and Mineralza for very precise application.

Četkice za rumenilo:
- Real Techniques Blush Brush - 1389 din, DM,
- Ecotools četkica za rumenilo - DM.


Blush brushes:
- Real Techniques Blush Brush - 1389 RSD, DM,
- Ecotools Blush Brush - DM.

Sa ove dve četkice pokrivena sam kakvo god rumenilo da koristim. RT je obla, meka i retka, odlično kupi veoma pigmentirana rumenila, mada mi se ne sviđa baš kako joj ide blendanje ako je prvo nanošenje malo darežljivije od željenog. Ecotools je pljosnata i koso sečena sa obe strane. Odlična za blendanje i nanošenje skoro svih rumenila, pa je najčešće i koristim. Osim u slučaju veoma pigmentovanih gde posežem za RT.

With these two brushes I am covered whatever blush I use. RT is round, soft and rare, great for very pigmented blushes, although I don't exactly like how it blends if the first application is a little more generous than desired. Ecotools is flat and cut on both sides. Excellent for blending and applying almost all blushes, and I mostly use this brush. Except in the case of some highly pigmented blushes, when I reach for RT.

Posebne četkce za lice:

- Ebelin ravno sečena četkica - 569 din, DM.

- Blush 10A - Aleksandar Cosmetics.

Special face brushes:

- Ebelin Straight Cut Brush - 569 RSD, DM.

- Blush 10A - Alexander Cosmetics.

Ebelin četkica je prilično tvrda i od plastičnih vlakana koja mi nisu mnogo lepa sama po sebi. Ok je i za nanošenje podloge, međutim ono za šta mi je odlična je nanošenje korektora tj. kamuflaše, ako mi je potrebano da je nanesem na naku malo veću površinu. Odlično je razmaže i blenda pa dobijem jače prekrivanje bez težine. Blush 10A je divna precizna četkica za konturiranje, meka i srednje veličine.

Ebelin brush is quite hard and I don't like its plastic fibers that much. It is good for applying foundation, however what I love is how it applies concealer ie. camouflage cream if I need higher coverage on a larger area. Great in applying and blending, so I get more coverage without weight. Blush 10A is a wonderful precision brush for contouring, soft and medium in size.

Četkice za kameni puder:

- Ecotools četkica za puder - deo seta, DM,

- Look by Bipa kabuki - nema u Srbiji.

Powder brushes:

- Ecotools Powder Brush - part of a set, DM,

- Look by Bipa Kabuki - not available in Serbia.

Obe četkce su meke i prosto savršene. Kabuki je veći. Beskrajno je mek i lep. Obe četkice koristim podjednako, mada kabuki često nosim sa sobom pošto je kratak.

Both brushes are soft and simply perfect. Kabuki is bigger. Infinitely supple and beautiful. Both brushes I use the same amount, although I often carry kabuki with me, since it is short.

Četkice za korektor i obrve:
- Blush 12A - 345 din, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Ecotools četkica za korektor - deo seta, DM.
- Ecotools četkica za obrve - deo seta, DM.


Concealer and eyebrow brushes:
- Blush 12A - 345 RSD, Alexandar Cosmetics,
- Ecotools Concealer Brush - part of a set, DM.
- Ecotools Brow Brush - part of a set, DM.

Blush 12A je fenomenalna četkica koju svakoga dana koristim za razmazivanje tečnog korektora na podočnjake. Da se ja pitam možda bi je napravila malo mekšu. Ecotools četkica za korektor je odlična za nanošenje korektora i kamuflaže na lice, a četkica za obrve je super pošto je vrlo uska i precizna.

Blush 12A is a phenomenal brush that I use every day for blending liquid concealer on dark circles. If I could choose I would make it a bit softer. Ecotools concealer brush is great for application of concealer and camouflage on the face and brow brush is very nice since it is very narrow and precise.

Sve ovo su četkice koje koristim skoro svaki dan. Volim ih i bez njih ne mogu. Da li i vi delite ljubav prema nekoj od ovih četkica? Da li volite da kupujete četkie?

These are all brushes I use almost every day. I love them and without them I couldn't function on a daily basis. Do you share my love for some of these brushes? Do you like buying make-up brushes?

Moja 2014. godina

Godina koja je prošla biće jedna od onih nekoliko koje ću uvek pamtiti. Toliko mnogo lošeg i toliko mnogo dobrog je sadržala da i da počnem da pričam, to bi se proteglo u nedogleg. Zato neću početi. Osim što ću poželeti vama a i sebi da mi 2015. bude ispunjena elanom da radim na sebi i svemu što moj život obuhvata i da mi optimizma nikada ne fali. A u ovom malom postu u kom neću daviti sa ličnim životom, srećom, nesrećom, preispitivanjima, i sumnjama, radostima, uspesima i promašajima, pričaću naravno o kozmetici. Svi smo ovde zbog toga ionako. Dakle šta je to obeležilo moju 2014. godinu:


The year that has passed will be one of the few that I will always remember. So much bad and so much good has happened and if I start talking about it, it would last to long. So I won't start. I only want to wish all of you and myself a year 2015. filled with enthusiasm to work on myself and everything that my life includes and never to lack optimism. And in this small post in which I will not talk about my personal life, happiness, unhappiness, doubts, joy, successes and failures, I'll talk about cosmetics. We are all here for that anyway. So what has marked my 2014:

- Aura

Za mene apsolutni brend godine. Protekle godine izbacili su toliko mnogo novih proizvoda, pudera, korektora, tečnih i običnih ruževa, četkice itd. I tolko su im proizvodi dobri da im još jednom čestitam. Ja imam tu sreću da sa njima sarađujem i dobila sam dosta stvari na recenziju. Sa tolikom srećom sam isprobavala sve nijanse novih ruževa i toliko sam se oduševila formulama. Od kad su izašli Aura tečni mat ruževi i obični mat ruževi (recenzija za nekoliko dana) ja ništa drugo i ne koristim.


For me, the absolute brand of the year. During the last year they launched so many new products, foundations, concealers, liquid and ordinary lipstick, brushes etc. And their products are so good that once again I congratulate them. I have been fortunate to collaborate with them and get a lot of things for a review. I was very happy to try out all of the new shades of lipsticks and so thrilled with their formulas. Since Aura launched their liquid and ordinary matte lipsticks (review in a few days) I barely use anything else.

- Amnogenesis

Još jedna saradnja zbog koje mi je mnogo drago. Imala sam veliku sreću da probam neke njihove proizvode, i tako sam naletela i na predobru kremu za lice koja mi je ubedljivo najbolja koju sam probala u 2014. godini - Therapeutic Facial Repair. A misija za 2015. godinu je da konačno probam kremu sa moje WL - okoloočnu Counter Clockwise.


Another collaboration that made me really happy. I had the great fortune to try some of their products, and so I tried a great face cream that became by far the best I've tasted in 2014. - Therapeutic Facial Repair. A mission for 2015. is to finally try the eye cream from my WL - Counter Clockwise.

- Garnier Olia

Ofarbala sam se ponovo u naranđasto i našla farbu koja mi odgovara. Ova boja zna da bude problematična ali Garnier Olia 7.40 pokazala se dorasla zadatku.


I dyed my hair in orange again and found a hair colour that suits me. This shade can be a problem but Garnier Olia 7.40 proved to be up to the task.

- Nuxe i Real Techniques

Dva brenda koja sam sa tolikim odusevljenjem isčekivala....a onda...nisam ništa od njih kupila. Al dobro nemam beskonačno para (hah da sam bar u rangu imam dovoljno para), tako da će te kupovine morati da sačekaju 2015.


Two brands that I have waited for with so much enthusiasm .... and then ... I haven't bought any of their products. But I don't have infinite amount o money (hah if I just had at least enough money for a normal life), so these purchases will have to wait year 2015.

- Insight 

Šampon kojim sam kosu prala više od pola 2014. godine (da toliko mi je trajalo jedno najveće pakovanje). A pritom je i veoma dobar (šampon za oštećenu kosu). Ova kupovina biće svakako ponovljena, bolje uštede nema.


The shampoo that I used to wash my hair over half of the year 2014. (that is how much the biggest packaging lasted). And the shampoo is also very good (shampoo for damaged hair). This purchase will certainly be repeated, there is no better savings.

- Vichy

Preparativa koju sam najviše koristila. Takođe ovaj brend je u toku 2014. godine izbacio i puder koji mi je pred kraj bočice i koji je daleko najbolji puder i po nijansi i po teksturi koji sam do sad koristila. Odgovara mi u svakom pogledu - Vichy Teint Ideal Fluid.


Cosmetics that was used the most. Also, during the 2014. this brand launched a new powder and foundation line. My foundation bottle is almost at the end and it was by far the best foundation for me when it comes to the shades and texture. It suits me in every way - Vichy Teint Ideal Fluid.

- Siberian Health 

Brend prirodne kozmetike koji je u Srbiji od 2014. godine. Ne smem sad da pričam detalje ali...nekoliko proizvoda koje trnutno isprobavam su me oduševili. Recenzije uskoro.


Brand of natural cosmetics which came to Serbia in 2014. I cannot talk specifics but ... a few  of the products that I'm currently trying out delighted me. Reviews coming soon.

- Avon 

Kao i uvek Avon baza za senke se koristila neprekidno i ako ikada prestanu da je prave zapaliću im kancelarije. A u 2014. godini otkrila sam jednako dobar proizvod koji takođe uvrštavam u stalnu postavku - spej za brzo sušenje laka za nokte.


As always Avon eyeshadow base is something I have constantly used and if they ever stop making it I'll burn down their offices. And in 2014, I discovered an equally good product that is also gong to become a permanent part of my life - fast drying nail polish spray.

Bitno je da nije bilo mnogo velikih promašaja i da ne znam šta bih navela kao neku vrlo lošu stvar koju sam probala. Slike kineske palete sa 120 senki pokradene su mi više puta i na kraju sam bila primorana da i na njih stavim logo. To mi je sve bilo ipak nekako zanimljivo.


It is important that there weren't a lot of big misses and I do not know which product to mention as a very bad thing I have tried. My pictures of Chinese eyeshadow palette with 120 shades were stolen several times and in the end I was forced to put my logo on them. That was still a bit interesting to me in some way.

To bi bila moja 2014. godina. Mnogo isprobanih proizvoda, mnogo recenzija, prezentacija i druženja sa blogokoleginicama. Sve u svemu ... bar što se bloga tiče 2014. godina mi se čini kao dobra godina. Broj pratilaca je rastao, a komentari na blog su i dalje vrlo pozitivni. Hvala vam svima koji me pratite, bez vas ovo i ne bi imalo mnogo smisla.


That would be my year 2014. There were many new products, many reviews, presentations and events with other beauty bloggers. All in all ... at least as far as my blog is concerned 2014. seems like a good year. Number of followers grew, and comments on the blog are still very positive. Big thanks to all of you who follow me, without you this wouldn't make much sense.
