50 Random Facts About Me Tag ♥

Neki vole ovakve postove, neki ne. Ja ih često sa velikim uživanjem čitam. Bilo mi je baš zabavno da odgovaram na pitanja. A nominovana sam na blogu The Glam Monster. Pa da odmah pređem na stvar. Evo nekoliko stvari o meni koje do sad niste znali.

Some like these posts, some do not. I often read them with great pleasure. It was really fun to answer all of the questions. I was nominated by the The Glam Monster blog. So to get to the point immediately. Here are some things about me that you didn't know until now.

1. KAKO SAM DOBILA IME KOJE IMAM?

Paaa mama mi je rekla da su planirali da se zovem Anja, ali im se to na kraju nije svidelo pa su se odlučili za Aleksandra.

2. KADA SAM POSLEDNJI PUT PLAKALA?

Na žalost ja lako mogu da plačem. Kada se mnogo iznerviram znaju da mi krenu suze. Valjda ne znam da se nosim sa stresom i on mngoo utiče na mene. Poslednjeg puta se baš ne sećam...bilo je pre neki dan i nije bilo ništa bitno ni spektakularno. :)

3. DA LI MI SE SVIĐA SOPSTVENI RUKOPIS?

Pa onako nije loš, čitak je, ali nije ni onako mnogo lep i ženski.

4. KOJA MI JE OMILJENA VRSTA MESA?

Pileće belo definitivno. Ali obožavam i ribu i morkse plodove, ako sme i to da se ovde ubroji.

5. IMAM LI DECU?

Ne još. :)

6. AKO BIH BILA NEKA DRUGA OSOBA, DA LI BIH SE DRUŽILA SA SOBOM?

Pa to valjda zavisi od toga kakva sam ako sam druga osoba. Ako bih izlazila po splavovima i vozila se u džipovima sumnjam da bih se družila samnom. :P

7. DA LI SAM ČESTO SARKASTIČNA?

Pa onako, srednje. Ne prezam od toga, ali nije mi ni baš svakodnevica.

8. DA LI IMAM SVE KRAJNIKE?

Imam! Nisam nikada imala problema sa njima. Jej!

 9. DA LI BIH URADILA BUNGEE-JUMP?

Bih. :) Mada lako je pričati ovako uopšteno, videli bi da li bih smela da sad stojim na vrhu nekog mosta iznad klisure.

10. KOJE SU MI OMILJENE CEREALIJE?

Nestle Fitness obične i sa čokoladom, ali me te sa čokoladom nerviraju jer je pakovanje manje a cena ista. Grrr!

1. HOW I GOT MY NAME?

My mom told me that they planned to call me Anja , but that they didn't like it in the end, so they changed it to Aleksandra. 

2. LAST TIME I CRIED?

Unfortunately I can cry easily. When I get frustrated and angry I can also cry. I guess, I'm not that good with dealing with stress. I don't remember the last time I cried... it was a few days ago and there was nothing significant or spectacular about it. :)

3. DO I LIKE MY OWN HANDWRITING?

Well it's not so bad, it's readable, but it's not very nice and girly.

4. WHAT IS MY FAVORITE MEAT?

Chicken breasts definitely. But I love fish and sea stuff, if that can be mentioned here.

5. DO I HAVE CHILDREN?

Not yet . :)

6. IF I WAS ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD I HUNG OUT WITH MYSELF?

So I guess it depends on what kind of person I am, if I'm a different person. If I go out clubbing and drive in huge jeeps, I doubt I would hung out with me.

7. AM I OFTEN SARCASTIC?

I'm  medium sarcastic. I don't shy away from it, but I also don't use it everyday.

8. DO YOU HAVE ANY TONSILS?

I have! I've never had any problems with them. Yay !

9. WOULD I EVER BUNGEE JUMP?

I would . :) Although it's easy to talk about this in general, we'll see whether I would do it if I was standing on the top of a bridge over some gorge.

10. MY FAVORITE CEREAL?

Nestle Fitness regular and chocolate, but chocolate ones are annoying because the packaging is smaller for the same price. Grrr !

11. DA LI ODPERTLAVAM CIPELE KADA IH SKIDAM?

Ako su plitke starke u pitanju onda ne (iako ih lepo pritegnem), a sve ostalo moram da raspertlam. Ne znam da hodam sa onako šljampavim cipelama, niti imam želju to da probam.

12. MISLIM LI DA SAM JAKA?

Onako srednje i psihički i fizički. Tj. kako se bavim plesom noge su mi baš jake, a ruke... pa one mogu da se porede s nogama samo ponekad kad navalim na sklekove neko vreme, ali to nikad ne opstane za stalno :)

13. KOJI MI JE OMILJENI SLADOLED?

Uh za malo da kažem da se ni jedan ne izdvaja. Ali to nije istina. Još od detinjstva omiljeni mi je sladoled Evga Status Passion. Na žalost ovi sladoledi se prodaju u Grčkoj pa ga jedem samo po nekad kada sam tamo. :(

11. DO I UNTIE SHOLEACES WHEN I REMOVE MY SHOES?

If they are shallow All Stars than no (although I nicely tighten them), but everything else I have to untie. I do not know how to walk with the loose shoes, nor do I have the desire to try.

12. DO I THINK I'M STRONG?

Medium - mentally and physically. Since I dance my legs are very strong, but my hands ... they can be compared with the legs just sometimes when I do a lot of push-ups for a while, but it never do that permanently. :)

13. WHAT'S MY FAVORITE ICE CREAM?

Oh I almost said that none of them stands out. But this is not true. Since my childhood my favorite ice cream is Evga Status Passion. Unfortunately, these ice creams are sold in Greece, so I eat it only once in a while, when I'm there. : (

14. STA PRVO PRIMETIM KOD LJUDI?

Celokupno lice. Mada ako su zapušteni, imaju sline, nešto prljavo ili musavo na licu onda to :)

Uhhh teško pitanje...ne znam. Volim hranu volim i da kuvam i svašta volim da jedem.

19. KOJE BOJE CIPELA SADA NOSIM?

Nosim neke karirane crveno bele papuče, koje je moj muž imao u kući još odavno. Tj. bile su tu i pre mene. :) Ali i dalje se drže kao da su juče kupljene.

Pojma nemam, nekako sam prerasla žanrove muzike. Sviđa mi se svašta, a slušam šta naleti. Znam samo šta ne volim. Većinu narodnjačkih, zabavnjačkih, folk i sličnih domaćih muzičkih ispada.

22. AKO BIH BILA OLOVKA ZA OCI, KOJE BIH BOJE BILA?

Hm... tamno ljubičasta.

23. KOJI SU MI OMILJENI MIRISI?

20. WHAT DID I LAST EAT?

Lamb stew (but instant one hahaha ), little meatballs, peas and sour red pepper. And two tangerines. Lunch.

21. WHAT DO I CURRENTLY LISTEN TO?

Zelena. Bile su plave kada sam bila mala.

Naočare nosim od četvrte godine. Sočiva sam nosila oko godinu ipo, a onda su mi dosadila. Mnogo smaranja i pri najmanjem umoru su me grebala i činilo mi se kao da mi se mnogo spava, iako u stvari nije tako bilo.

Uh pa mnoge. Ali Monika Beluči mi je uvek bila na vrhu.

34. LETO ILI ZIMA?

Volim more, volim i da skijam. Ali svakako biram leto. Zima je lepa kad si na snegu...u gradu u bljuzgi nije ni malo zabavno.

35. ZAGRLJAJI ILI POLJUPCI?

Voda koja teče, talasi, bilo kakva mirnija voda.

44. NA KOM SAM MESTU BILA NAJUDALJENIJA OD KUĆE?

U Pekingu sam bila na konferenciji. Dakle Kina.

45. IMAM LI NEKIH TALENATA?

Pojma nemam. Prilično dobro koristim i levu i desnu ruku. Kad sam bila mala uzela sam olovke sa obe ruke ali su mi roditelji rekli da koristim desnu. I na plesu primećujem da tipa imam bolju stabilnost kada radim okrete na levu stranu. Mada većinu stvari vežbam na desno tako da mi je to kad se sabere bolja strana. Pa i nije mi neki talenat...

46. GDE BIH VOLELA DA ŽIVIM KADA BIH IMALA IZBOR?

Preteško pitanje. Pojma nemam. Previše mi mesta pada na pamet.

47. ŠTA MI JE SAN?

Da živim srećno. Imam muža, decu, dobro mi ide na poslu, ostanem u kontaktu sa ljudima koje volim i ne mrzi me da vežbam i za mnogo godina, pa izgledam prilično ok i krećem se normalno i ništa me ne boli. :)

48. NAJLUĐA STVAR KOJU SAM IKAD URADILA?

Joj ja baš nisam neka osoba za ludilo. Ne pada mi na pamet ništa zanimljivo.

49. ŠTA RADIM U OVOM TRENUTKU?

Odmaram od pisanja doktorata. Dakle kuckam po blogu naravno :)

50. DA LI SAM UŽIVALA U ODGOVARANJU NA OVIH 50 PITANJA?

I za kraj evo vam jedna random fact slika :)

Matte. :)

44. THE PLACE I WAS AT, THAT WAS THE FARTHEST FROM HOME?

In Beijing, I was at a conference. So China.

45. DO I HAVE SOME TALENTS?

I have no idea. I use my both hand pretty well. When I was little, I first took pencils with both hands but my parents told me to use the right one. When I dance I notice that I have better stability when doing turns on the left side. Although most of the thing I practice to do on the right side, so it is still my better side. It's not really a talent ...

46. WHERE WOULD I LIKE TO LIVE IF I HAD THE CHOICE?

It's too hard a question. I have no idea. There are too many places I can think of.

47. WHAT IS MY DREAM?

To live happily. To have a husband, children, to be successful at my job, stay in touch with people I love and not be lazy to exercise for many years, so I look pretty ok and move normally and nothing hurts me. :)

48. THE CRAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE?

Oh I 'm not a person for crazy. I cannot think of anything interesting.

49. WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW?

Resting from writing my phD thesis. So writing on my blog of course :)

50. DID I ENJOY ANSWERING THESE 50 QUESTIONS?

If it wasn't fun I wouldn't even do it.

And finally here's one random fact picture. :)

Freeman Bare Foot Peppermint + Plum Foot Lotion

Ima nešto posebno u traženju dobrih krema za stopala, bar za mene. Kako sam do sad sa Freeman-om imala samo dobra iskustva rešila sam da probam njihovu kremu sa pepermintom i šljivom. Kao i svi Freeman proizvodi dolazi u većem pakovanju od uobičajenih za ovakve kreme. Tuba sadrži 150ml. Ja sam je kupila naravno preko Kozmetika Teatra, a platila sam je 565 dinara. Koliko ja znam ima je i po objektima koji i dalje prodaju Freeman, kao npr. u nekim velikim lancima supermarketa i DM-u. Viđala sam je ja mislim u Rodi.

There is something special in finding good foot cream, at least for me. Since I had only good experiences with Freeman cosmetics I decided to try their foot cream with peppermint and plum. Like all Freeman products it comes in a larger packaging than what is usual for these creams. Tube contains 150ml. I've bought it on Kozmetika Teatar web site and I paid 565 RSD for it. As far as I know it can also be found in stores that still sell Freeman, e.g. in some large supermarket chains and DM. I've seen it Roda, I think.

Prva stvar na koju ja padam je dobar miris, a s obzirom da je ovo Freeman uopste me ne čudi što sam se odmah potpuno zaljubila u miris ove kreme. Miriše na šljive, ali više na neke bombonice i žvake koje sam imala kada sam bila mala. Prilično jako miriše, a miris nekako osvežava i budi. Sama krema je srednje gusta, recimo kao mleko za telo. Ima veoma blagu ljubičastu boju i nije potpuno bela.

The first thing I fall for is a good smell, and given that this is Freeman it didn't surprise me at all that I totally fell in love with the scent of this cream. It smells of plums, but more like some candy and chewing gum that I had when I was little. Pretty strong smell, and somehow refreshing and bright. The cream is medium thick, as a body milk for example. It has a very slight purple color and isn't completely white.

Sastav/Ingredient List:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Mineral Oil/Paraffinum Liquidum/Huile Minérale, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, Prunus Domestica Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (shea butter), Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Panthenol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Carbomer, Tetrasodium Edta, Triethanolamine, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Citral, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, Ext. Violet 2 (CI 60730), Red 33 (CI 17200).

Naravno najbitnije je kako ova krema neguje. Ova krema je po meni namenjena svakodnevnoj nezi, hidrataciji, opuštanju i osvežavanju umornih stopala. I ovaj posao zaista mnogo dobro radi. Brzo se upija i nije masna. Ja je mažem pred spavanje u krevetu i ne čekam sto godina da legnem, bez bojazni da ću pola kreme obrisati o posteljinu. Nakon mazanja koža je lepo hidrirana, meka i elastična. Ono što ova krema nije uspela da uradi je da mnogo omekša i smanji zadebljale i tvrde delove na tabanima, ali svakako jeste imala veliku ulogu da oni budu pod kontrolom i da ne budu suvi. Ali zato postoji krema za pete iz iste linije. Nju sam i planirala da kupim, ali je tada nije bilo, pa ću je sigurno probati kada ovu potrošim. Baš me zanima kakva je u odnosu na ovaj losion i da li će biti jača i delotvornija i kod tvrđih delova kože.

Of course the most important is how this cream nourishes. In my opinion this cream is intended for everyday care, hydration, relaxing and refreshing tired feet. And this job it indeed does very well. It is quickly absorbed and non-greasy. I apply it before I go to sleep, in my bed, and I don't have to wait a hundred years to lay down. I don't have any fear that I will wipe half of the cream on linens. After application the skin is nicely hydrated, soft and elastic. What this cream didn't manage to do is to drastically soften and reduce thickened and hard parts of the soles of my feet. But it did play a big role in keeping those parts under control and making them hydrated. But there is also a cream for heels from the same line. I had initially planned to buy that one, but it wasn't in stock at that moment, so I'll certainly try it when I spend this one. I wonder how different it is compared to this lotion and will it be stronger and more effective with hard parts of the skin.

Ako želite hidratantnu kremu za svakodnevnu negu stopala koja nisu mnogo suva, ispucala i oštećena, a volite da krema lepo miriše, ovo je definitivno krema za vas. Ja sam je mnogo zavolela. Da li ste je vi probali i kakvi su vam bili utisci?

Šta mi se sviđa kod ove kreme:

- veliko pakovanje,

- cena,

- miris,

- brzo se upija i nije masna,

- dobro hidrira i neguje.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:

- volela bih da je malo jača bog zadebljalih delova, mada tome nije baš ni namenjena.

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.

Da li ste vi probali neku od ove dve zimske mazalice i kakvi su bili vaši utisci? Koji vam je bolji? Meni su oba odlična, ali može biti samo jedan pobednik.

Did you try any of these two winter lip balms and what were your impressions? Which one is better for you? I love both of them, but there can be only one winner.

Nude i pastel NOTD

E ovaj put ću vam pokazati dosta lakova na jednom mestu. Tmurno je bilo taj dan pa su slike sa blicem, ili u senci bez blica. Mada boje su prilično realne u svakom slučaju. Do nedavno nisam posedovala uopste nude i braonkaste lakove, a onda me je nesto spopalo i ubrzo se nekoliko naslo u mom posedu. Trenutno mi se mnogo sviđaju.

Za početak hoću da kažem da sam na nokte prvo mazala Aura The Strong Hardener bazni lak, koji mi se mnogo sviđa. Lepo mi učvrsti nokte, smanjuje listanje, ne dozvoljava da mi lak oboji nokte i jeftin je. Bočica od 12ml košta 279 dinara. Kao poslednji sloj mazala sam Essence Gel-Look nadlak, koji isto baš volim i koji em daje lep sjaj, em dosta produžava trajanje laka.

Well this time I will show you a lot of nail polishes in one place. It was gloomy that day so the pictures are with flash, or in the shadow without the flash. But still the colours are quite realistic in each case. Until recently I didn't have any nude or brownish nail polishes and then something came over me and soon several of them were in my possession. I like them a lot at the moment.

But first I want to say that the first thing I applied to my nail is Aura The Strong Hardener base coat, which I like a lot. Nicely strengthens nails, reduces breakage, doesn't allow nail polish to stain my nails. Bottle of 12ml costs 279 RSD. As a final layer I used Essence Gel-Look top coat, which I also just love, because it gives a nice shine and prolongs duration of polishes.

Evo sad i lakova koje sam koristila. Svuda sam malaza dva sloja. Svi ovi lakovi su zaista dobri i nisu mnogo zahtevni za mazanje.
Palac: China Glaze White on White (njega volim da mažem i u tri tanka sloja)
Kažiprst: Flormar Supermatte M124
Sednji prst:  Flormar Supermatte M110
Domali: Revelique 70 Avant-garde
Mali: Aura 804 Black Sofa


And now polishes that I used. I applied two coats. All of these polishes are very good and aren't very hard to apply.
Thumb: China Glaze White on White (I also like to apply it in three thin coats) 
Index finger: Flormar Supermatte M124
Middle finger: Flormar Supermatte M110 
Ring finger: Revelique 70 Avant-garde 
Little finger: Aura 804 Black Sofa 

Ove slike u senci su od sutradan, pa se lak malo uništio haha :)


These photos in the shade are from a day after, so the polish got a little destroyed haha :)

Volite li nude i braonkaste lakove? Koji je vaš omiljeni?


Do you like nude and brownish polishes? Which one is your favorite?

Manna sapuni za lice - Slonovača i Ebanovina + Sapun Latice cveta

Rešila sam da prvi post u novoj 2014. godini bude o prirodnoj kozmetici, tačnije o Manna sapunima. Kao što verovatno već znate ako ste čuli za Manna proizvode, oni u svom asortimaju imaju veliki broj sapuna za lice i telo, ali i za kosu. Pored toga imaju i razne putere za telo, kugle za kupanje, ulja i balzame za usne i slepoočnice. Sve je naravno veoma prirodno i bez konzervansa. Pa ako do sad niste dovoljno proučili njihov asortiman pogledajte šta sve imaju, a i cene na njihovom sajtu. Ja sam kao svoje prve Manna proizvode naručila dva sapuna namenjena koži lica.


I decided that the first post in year 2014. is going to be about natural cosmetics, more specifically about Manna soaps. As you probably already know if you've heard of Manna products, they sell a large number of soaps for the face and body, as well as for hair. They also produce various body butters, bath balls, oils and lip balms. All, of course, very natural and free of preservatives. So if you haven't studied their products  by now, you can look up the products and their prices on their web site. I bought two face soaps as my first Manna products.

Sapuni su stigli u paketu u kom se nalazila porukica za mene, što mislim da je baš lep detalj jer daje utisak kako brinu o svojim korisnicima. Takođe pored sapuna koje sam poručila stiglo je i maleno parčence sapuna Latice cveta, što me je takođe baš oduševilo.


Soaps have arrived in the package in which there was also a text messages for me, which I think is a very nice detail, because it gives the impression that they care about their customers. Also, in addition to soaps I ordered, there was a small peace of Flower petals soap, which was also very nice.

Kao što vidite sapuni su pakovanu u vrlo lep papir, koji još više asocira na to da se radi o prirodnoj kozmetici. Naravno ono što je bitno je da se ispod tog ukrasnog papira nalazi sapun u vakumiranoj providnoj foliji, pa je veoma dobro zaštićen. 

As you can see soaps are packaged in a very nice paper, which goes well with the natural cosmetics theme. Of course, what matters is that beneath the decorative paper the soap is vacuum packed in a transparent foil, so it's well protected.

Sapun imaju 90g i prilično su veliki. Sigurno će vam trajati baš dugo. Ja sam sapune presekla na pola i podelila sa sestrom, a i te polovine mi i dalje traju i baš se sporo troše. Oba sapuna koštaju 595 dinara. Međutim ako kupite samo jedan sapun tj. cena vaše porudžbine iznosi ispod 999 dinara moraćete da platite i poštarinu od 279 dinara. U slučaju da je cena vaše porudžbine 1000-1499 dinara poštarina se smanjuje na 149 dinara koliko sam je ja i platila za ova dva sapuna. Naravno poštarina se može još smanjiti ako kupite još više stvari.

Soaps have 90g and are quite large. They will last very long time, for sure. I have cut my soaps in half and shared them with my sister, and I still have my halves. Both soaps cost 595 RSD. But if you buy only one soap and the price of your order is below 999 RSD, you'll have to pay the postage of 279 RSD, too. When the price of your order is between 1000-1499 RSD postage is reduced to 149 RSD, how much I paid for the my order. Of course postage can be further reduced if you buy more stuff.

1. Sapun Ebanovina

1. Ebony soap

Ovaj sapun je crne boje, a to duguje medicinskom uglju (Carbo medicinalis) koji se nalazi u njegovom sastavu. Takođe sadrži i ekstra devičansko maslinovo ulje, susamovo ulje, shea puter, kokosovo ulje i ricinusovo ulje. Šta oni kažu o sapunu:

- Dubinski čisti,
- Delotvorno vrši detoksikaciju,
- Zahvaljujući svojoj aktivnoj površini, sposoban je da privuče ka sebi suvišne masnoće i toksične materije iz kože,
- Prodire u kožu i pore čisti iz dubine,
- Uklanja nečistoće,
- Nežno neguje kožu zahvaćenu aknama i miteserima.


This soap is black, and it owes that to medical coal (Carbo medicinalis), which is in its ingredients. It also includes extra virginal olive oil, sesame oil, shea butter, coconut and castor oil. What they say about the soap:
- Deeply cleans,
- Detoxifies the skin efficiently,
- Thanks to its active surface, it's capable of attracting excess oil and toxic substances from the skin,
- Penetrates the skin and  cleans pores deeply,
- Removes impurities,
- Gently nourishes acne and blackheads prone skin.

Moji utisci o sapunu su veoma pozitivni. Veoma dobro čisti kožu i ona je nakon umivanja veoma mekana i glatka. Zaista se oseća i izgleda dubinski čisto. Dobro čisti i proširene pore i mitisere. Nije mi ih skroz uklonio ali su pore mnogo čistije i nakupljanje masnoća je dosta smanjeno. Sav višak sebuma je uklonjen. Sam sapun nema neki poseban miris, veoma blag. Prosto miriše na prirodne sapune, ako ste ih nekada probali, znate na šta mislim. Pravi dovoljno pene, ali pena nije mnogo gusta. Mada ima je sasvim dovoljno da se lepo umijete.

My impressions of this soap are very positive. It cleans the skin very well and after using it the skin is very soft and smooth. Skin really feels and looks deeply cleansed. It cleans enlarged pores and blackheads well. Though it didn't remove them completely, my pores are much cleaner and oil accumulation is quite reduced. Any excess sebum is removed. The soap has no specific smell, very bland. It simply smells of natural soaps, if you have ever tried them you'll know what I mean. It produces enough foam, but the foam isn't very thick. Although there is quite enough of it to wash your face well.

Ovaj sapun ima po meni dve mane. Prva je ta što nenormalno peče ako dospe u oši, a ja volim da kada se umivam operem celo lice pa ne zaobilazim ni oči. I onda moram vrlo pažljivo da trljam i veoma podrobno da ispiram. Druga mana je što blago isušuje kožu. Zato ga nikako ne bih preporučila osobama sa suvom kožom, pa možda čak ni sa normalnom. Ali za masnokošce i osobe sa mešovitom kožom (ali bez suvih obraza) je super. Pošto malo isušuje ubrzao je proces nestanka hormonskih bubuljica i smirio crvenilo. Meni se veoma svideo, ali činjenica je da nije za svakoga.

This soap has two downsides. The first one is that it burns so much if it gets in your eyes, and I like to wash my face whole and I don't like to skip the eye region. So I have to wash very carefully and rinse a lot. Another drawback is that it slightly dries out the skin. I wouldn't recommend it to people with dry skin, maybe not even with normal skin. But for oily and mixed skin (but without dry cheeks) it is great. Since it dries the skin a little it accelerated disappearance of hormonal pimples and redness. I liked it quite a lot, but the fact is that it is not for everyone.

2. Sapun Slonovača:

2. Ivory soap:

 

Ovaj sapun je nasuprot prvog sapuna bele boje. U sebi sadrži belu glinu, koja ima sposobnost izvlačenja masnoća iz kože, bez njenog isušivanja. Pored gline ovaj sapun sadrži i ekstra devičansko maslinovo ulje, susamovo ulje, kako puter, kokosovo ulje i ricinusovo ulje. Šta oni kažu o sapunu: 

- Temeljno čisti i besprekorno otklanja svakodnevne nečistoće sa površine vaše kože,
 - Nežno neguje,
 - Poravnava kožu i čini je baršunastom,
 - Izvanredno vrši detoksikaciju,
 - Popravlja strukturu kože,
 - Regeneriše je,
 - Smiruje je,
 - Dobro zamenjuje bebi pudere, zbog toga će i koži vaše bebe učiniti uslugu,
 - Pogodna je za sve tipove kože, ali će Slonovača sapunu za čišćenje lica najviše biti zahvalna suva, osetljiva, iritirana i zrela koža.


This soap is the opposite of the first soap and has white colour. It contains white clay, which has the capability of extracting oil from the skin without drying it. In addition to clay, this soap contains extra virginal olive oil, sesame oil, cocoa butter, coconut and castor oil. What they say about the soap:
- It deeply cleanses and impeccably removes everyday dirt from the surface of your skin,
- Gently nourishes, 
- Makes skin flat and velvety, 
- Outstanding detoxification,
 - It improves skin structure, 
- Regenerates it, 
- Calms it, 
- I replaced the baby powders, so you'll do your baby's skin a favor,
 - Suitable for all skin types, but the Ivory soap is best for dry, sensitive, irritated and mature skin.

Što se čišćenja kože tiče podjednako je dobar kao i sapun Ebanovina. Zaista temeljno i dobro čisti i uklanja masnoće, ali zaista za razliku od Ebanovine nakon umivanja nema nikakvog zatezanja i koža nije isušena. Na žalost isto kao i kod prvog sapuna ekstremno peče kada upadne pena u oči. I ovim sapunom sam jako zadovoljna i mislim da je mnogo svestraniji jer mogu da ga koriste i osobe sa suvljom kožom. S druge strane ako imate problematičnu kožu, čini mi se da ovaj sapun malo sporije isušuje i smiruje bubuljice od Ebanovine, mada ipak utiče na njihovo ubrzano nestajanje.


As far as cleaning the skin it is just as good as Ebony soap. It really cleans and removes oil well, but unlike Ebony soap, after use there is no tightening and the skin is not dry. Unfortunately, the same as for the first soap, it burns extremely when the foam goes in the eyes. I'm very pleased with this soap and I think it is much more versatile because it can be used even by people with dry skin. On the other hand if you have problematic skin, it seems to me that this soap dries out pimples a little slower then Ebony, but it still helps with their faster disappearance.

Oba sapuna su zaista dobra, ali moram da napomenem da mislim da ne mogu samostalno da pobede bubuljice, posebno ako imate baš problematičnu kožu. Ako imate problema sa pokojom hormonskom bubuljicom, masnom kožom i mitiserima, onda će ovi sapuni biti prilično dobri za vas.


Both soaps are really good, but I have to mention that I don't think they can fight pimples by themselves, especially if you have very problematic skin. If you have a problem with occasional hormonal pimples, blackheads and oily skin, then these soaps are probably going to be pretty good for you. 

3. Sapun Latice cvete


3. Flower petals soap

Na kraju želim da napišem i nekoliko reči o sapunčiću koji sam dobila uz porudžbinu. Ovaj sapun je žućkasto bele boje, a kroz sebe ima tamnije braonkaste mrljice. Sapun nema miris kao i prethodna dva što me je malo razočaralo. Koristila sam ga za tuširanje, a kada se tuširam volim da oko mene lepo miriše. Inače pravi prilično dobru penu i samo blago isušuje kožu, veoma neprimetno, tako da nije loš.


Finally I want to write a few words about the soaps that I got with my order. This soap is a yellowish white colour, and has a dark brownish specks  through. The soap doesn't have any scent like the previous two, which disappointed me a bit. I used it for shower, and when I take a shower I like nice smells around me. Otherwise it produces a pretty good foam, and only slightly dries out the skin, very inconspicuously, so it's not bad.

O njemu imam neko srednje mišljenje, mada najviše zbog toga što sam se nadala da će lepo mirisati, valjda zbog naziva. Inače nije loš.


I have a medium opinion about it, but mostly because I was hoping that it smells nice, I guess because of its name. Otherwise, it's not bad.

Da li ste vi probali neki od Manna sapuna? Ja bih volela da probam neki od njihovih mirisljavih Coco sapuna.

Šta mi se sviđa kod ovih sapuna:
- cena nije loša,
- pakovanje,
- prirodni sastojci,
- veliki izbor sapuna,
- odlično čiste kožu i uklanjaju višak masnoće.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:
- skupa poštarina,
- nemaju miris, mada mi je to smetalo samo kod sapuna Latice cveta,
- sapun Ebanovina malo isušuje kožu,
- strahovito peku ako upadne pena u oči.
