Sećanje na 2013. godinu

Prošla je još jedna godina, a kao što i sami znate to znači poplavu postova o omiljenim  i omraženim proizvodima, promašajima i ljubavima. Ja lično volim takve postove i smatram da su korisni, jer na jednom mestu mogu da vidim šta je dobro a šta bi eventualno trebalo zaobići. Ja sam rešila da napravim malo drugačiji post sa sličnom temom. Ovo je post o mojoj 2013. godini, o proizvodima, osobama i događajima koji su obeležili vreme koje je prošlo. Želim da se osvrnem i na dobre i na loše stvari, jednostavno na stvari koje ću pamtiti.


Another year has passed, and as you may know that means a flood of posts about favorite and hated products, failures and loves. Personally, I love these posts and believe that they are useful, because at one place you can see what is good and what should be avoided. I decided to do a little different post with a similar theme. This is a post about my year 2013, about the products, people and events that have marked the time that has passed. I want to look back on the good and the bad things, in one word the things that I remember.

Kao prvo 2013. godina je godina rođenja mog bloga. Za oko dva meseca ću tek slaviti moj prvi blogorođendan. I dalje mi je neverovatno da je za to kratko vreme moj blog pomalo izronio iz mora blogova koji postoje i  da se broj ljudi koji me prate sve brže povećava. I naravno da sam upoznala mnogo divnih blogokoleginica.  Svima koji me pratite sam veoma zahvalna!

Preparativa i dekorativa koja je izmamila moj osmeh:

Ne mogu reći da mi je mnogo proizvoda baš obeležilo ovu godinu. Bilo je dosta baš dobrih ali samo nekoliko koji su me oduševili. Ubedljivo najdraži proizvodi ove godine i su:
- Avon baza za senke,
- Avon Mega Effects maskara.

Oba su za mene fenomenalnta i ovim proglašavam Avon brendom godine za mene!


Firstly 2013. is the year my blog was born. For about two months I will celebrate my first blog-birthday. I still find it amazing that in such a short time, my blog has somewhat emerged from the sea of blogs that exist, and that the number of people who follow me is rapidly increasing. And of course I met many wonderful blog-colleagues. To all who follow me I'm very grateful!

Cosmetics and makeup that made me smile:

I cannot say I have tried a lot of products that marked this year. There were a lot of quite good products, but only a few that have thrilled me. Convincingly favorite products of this year are:
- Avon eyeshadow base,
- Avon Mega Effects mascara.

Both are phenomenal and I hereby declare Avon as my brand of the year!

Pored Avonovih stvari moram još da istaknem i predivni i na sve strane hvaljeni Eveline Celebrities ajlajner, čijoj se hordi fanova i ja pridružujem.


Apart from Avon stuff I also have to mention wonderful and all-round praised Eveline Celebrities eyeliner, to whos crowd of fans I must join.

Što se preparative tiče samo dve stvari su me potpuno oduševile:

- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo,

- Ekstra devičansko kokosovo ulje - koje je odlično i za moju kosu i za okoloočnu regiju, a i za kuvanje.


As far as cosmetics go I was absolutely thrilled only about two things:
- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo,
- Extra virgin coconut oil - which is great for my hair, eye region, but also for cooking.

Omiljeni LOTD:

Nisam mogla da se odlučim samo za jedan. Ubedljivo omiljena tri su mi ovi sa slika. Sva tri su barem što se senki na očima tiče rezultati proizvoda koji je ubedljivo obeležio moju godinu što se šminke tiče. Proizvod kojem sam se najviše obradovala i koji je ispunio i premašio sva moja očekivanja - Kineska paleta od 120 senki.


Favorite LOTD:

I couldn't make up my mind and choose just one. My favorite three are in the photos below. All three are, at least as far as the eyeshadows go, the results of the product that has marked my year as far as makeup goes. The product which I am most pleased about and which has met and exceeded all my expectations - Chinese 120 eyeshadow palette.

Velika razočaranja:

E u ovoj kategoriji veliko i počasno mesto zauzima Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Definition maskara. Čekala sam i da se osusi ali džabe. I na početku i kao suva se maže kao blato lopatom. Bacam je i tačka.


Great disappointments:

Well in this category honorery place is held by Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Definition Mascara. I waited for it to dry a bit, but with no effect. In the beginning as well as later on the application was like I was putting on mud with a shovel.

Najupečatljiviji događaj na kom sa bila:

Bilo je nekoliko baš lepih i dobro organizovanih događaja na kojima sam bila, ali ovaj put izdvajam predstavljanje Vichy Ideali seruma (a o samom serumu ovde). Em je zaista organizacija bila na nivou, a prostor u kom se sve dešavalo prelep, em je to moj prvi događaj tog tipa kada sam upoznala mnogo blogokoleginica i zato je ovaj događaj ostao nekako poseban za mene.


The most memorable event that I attended:

There were a couple of beautiful and nicely organized events in the past year, but this time I will have to choose the presentation of Vichy Idealia Serum (about this serum read here). It was really well organized, and the space in which everything happened was so beautiful. I was also my first event of this kind where I met a lot of blog-colleagues and that is why this event remained something special for me.

Blog koji je obeležio ovu godinu:


Blog that has marked this year:

Dosta blogova mi se baš svidelo. Ali definitivno ovaj put izdvajam dragu Selmu i njen divni blog Meteo Beauty. Osećam da smo vrlo slične i da bismo se lepo slagale da živimo bliže. Nadam se da ću je upoznati i uživo, to će biti šlag na torti mojoj velikoj želji da ponovo odem u predivno Sarajevo. I naravno ona svog muža zove isto kao i ja svog - muž-puž. Šaljem joj puno :*****.


A lot of blogs I have really liked. But this time I definitely have to single out a blog led by dear Selma that is called Meteo Beauty. I feel that we are very similar and that we would get along very well if we lived closer to each other. I hope to meet her in person, it will be the icing on the cake to my great desire to go back to the beautiful Sarajevo. And of course she calls her husband just like I call mine - husband-snail (it rimes in Serbian). I'm sending her a lot of : *****.

Ali ne mogu da ne pomenem ni dragu Anu sa Me, Makeup and I bloga, koja mi je ubedljivo najveće iznenađenje ove godine i dokaz da je svet jako mali. I naravno veliko joj hvala za svo dobavljanje šminke po NBG-u i Hrvatskoj. I njoj šaljem :*****.

To su bili moji utisci o 2013. godini a da su vezani za blogosvet i kozmetiku. Koji su vaši utisci? Šta se vama urezalo u pamćenje?


But I also have to mention dear Anna from Me, Makeup and I blog, who was definitely the biggest surprise of this year, and a proof that the world is very small. And of course I want to thank her again for all the makeup  fetching  around New Belgrade and Croatia. I'm sending her a lot of : *****, too.

These were my impressions of the year 2013. that are related to the world of  blogging and cosmetics . What are your impressions? What are the thing you'll remember?

Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer - 07 Genius in The Bottle

Konačno je granulo sunce na nekoliko dana i to sam odmah iskoristila da slikam ovaj lak koji ne zaslužuje ništa manje od baš sunčanog vremena. Predivan je i moram ga pokazati u punom svetlu. Ovo je moj jedini Catrice lak i jedini koji sam baš i želela da imam. Reč je o nijansi 07 Genius in The Bottle (legendarno ime!).  Nijansa je zeleno zlatna. Na prvi pogled izgleda kao da je samo zlatan, ali se veoma presijava na zeleno i plavo.  Ali ponekad i na narandžasto. 

Finally the sun came out a few days ago and I immediately used it to take photos of this nail polish, that deserves nothing less then really shiny weather. It's beautiful and it I just had to show it in full glory. This is my only Catrice nail polish and the only one I really wanted to own. This is shade 07 Genius in The Bottle (legendary name!). The shade is greenish gold. At first glance it looks like it's only gold, but it shines green and blue a lot. Sometimes even orange.

Formula mu je dobra i lako se maže. Srednje je gustine i dva sloja su dovoljna za potpuno prekrivanje. Brzo se i suši, što ja mnogo volim kod lakova. Inače pakovanje sadrži 10ml i ima srednje široku četkicu, koja je baš dobra za mazanje. Trajnojst nije loša, ali nije ni ništa spektakularno. Na meni izdrži u proseku oko 4 dana, ali se ne skida u ljuspicama što je dobro. A trajnost ionako zavisi od noktiju i vašeg života. U Srbiji na žalost još uvek nije moguće kupiti Catrice proizvode. Ovaj je iz Hrvatske, a koštao je oko 300 dinara. A sada pogledajte ovog lepotana.

Its formula is good and easy to apply. Medium density and the two layers are sufficient for full coverage. Dries fast, which I like in nail polishes. The packaging contains 10ml and has a medium size brush, which is very good for application. Durability isn't bad, but it also isn't anything spectacular. For me, it lasted on average about four days, but when it comes of it doesn't have parts of it falling off, which is good. And durability depends on your nails and your life anyway. In Serbia, unfortunately, it isn't yet possible to buy Catrice products. This one is from Croatia and it costed about 300 RSD. And now look at this beauty.

Obožavam ovaj lak. Prelep je i skroz po mom ukusu. Da li ste ga vi probali? Ili neki drugi Catrice lak?

I love this nail polish. It is so beautiful and completely to my taste. Have you tried this shade? Or another Catrice nail polish?

New in! :)

Čini mi se da počinju da mi prirastaju za srce ove fotografije na kojima se vidi da sam jedva dočekala da grane jutarnje slabašno zimsko sunce. Baš se vidi na slici da je ovo zimsko sunce, ali ono daje neku čar slikama, iako su malo gore nego kada imam normalno osvetljenje u toku leta.

U poslednje vreme noviteti sporo pristižu ali nakupilo se dovoljno da mogu da vam pokažem koje recenzije vas očekuju na blogu uskoro. Pa da počnemo!

It seems to me that I'm starting to love these photos where you can see that I could hardly wait for the faint morning winter sun to rise. It is obvious on the photos that it is a winter sun, but it gives them some special charm, although they are a little worse then when I have a normal lighting during the summer.

Recently, new stuff were accumulating quite slowly, but finally I have enough that I can now show you which reviews await you on the blog soon. So let's start!

- Stevan Still proizvodi - Popart Šampon sa kamilicom i ricinusom i maske za kosu sa na bazi semenki grožđa i arganovog ulja. Šampon i maska sa arganovim uljem su deo proizvoda koje mi je poslao Stevan Still i o kojima ću uskoro pisati. Od njih sam dobila i masku sa keratinom, ali je ona već potrošena. Masku sa grožđem sam ubrzo sama kupila jer sam želela i nju da probam i napišem jednu grupnu recenziju.

- Stevan Still Products - popart shampoo with chamomile and castor oil and hair masks based on the grape seeds and argan oil. Shampoo and mask with argan oil are a part of the products sent to me by Stevan Still and about which I'll write soon. They also sent me keratin mask, but I've already spent it. I bought grape seed mask, because I wanted to try it and write a group review for all three masks.

- Maybelline Great Lash maskara - maskara koju ili baš hvale ili baš kude. A koje je moje mišljenje saznaćete uskoro.

- Aura Nano ruž, nijansa 88 - konačno da kupim i jedan Nano ruž od novijih nijansi. Biće uskoro recenzija mojih Nano ruževa.

- Essence Superheroes limitirana kolekcija i iz nje lak sa termo efektom - odmah sam odtrčala da ga kupim kada sam ga videla kod Cajke.

- Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - mascara that everyone loves or hates. And what is my opinion you'll find out soon.

- Aura Nano lipstick shade 88 - I finally bought one of the newer Nano lipsticks. I'll soon write a review of all my Nano lipsticks together.

- Essence Superheroes limited collection and from it a nail polish with a thermal effect - I immediately ran to buy it when I saw it at Cajkas blog.

- Bourjois čokoladni bronzer, nijansa 52 - dobila sam ga od čitateljke koja ga je dobila i nije ga koristila. Neizmerno sam joj zahvalna! Predivno miriše!!

- Noreva Exfoliac NC Gel - kupila sam ga na preporuku Dijane, pošto sam htela da se malo udaljim od moje drage Effaclar Duo kremice. Za sada mi se čini odlično ali još malo čekam na prave utiske. 

- Bourjois Chocolate bronzer, shade 52 - I got it from a reader who had received it and didn't use it. I am immensely grateful to her! It smells wonderfully!

- Noreve Exfoliac NC Gel - I bought it after recommendation from Dijana, because I wanted to change for some time my dear Effaclar Duo cream. For now, it seems great but I'll wait a little more for the whole impression.

- Multiaktiv Anti-Stress dnevna krema sa malinom i žen-šenom - planirala sam već neko vreme da je kupim, mnogo me je privlačila ta malina. Videćemo kakvi će biti utisci. :)

- Aminogenesis Really, Really Clean umivalica - potpuna zvezda ovog posta. Konačno sam ga kupila, bio je već duže na mojoj WL. Kupila sam ga kada je bilo sniženje za čitaoce Dear Skin bloga. Iako me je transfer novca u Hrvatsku kako bih ga platila koštao baš mnogo nije mi žao. Samo se nadam da ću uskoro saznati gde u Srbiji mogu da ga kupujem, pa da ne moram da se mučim za nabavku.

I za kraj jedan proizvod koji sam zaboravila da uslikam na grupnoj fotografiji:

- Multiaktiv Anti-Stress Day Cream with raspberry and ginseng - I planned for some time to buy it, the raspberry really attracted me. We'll see what my impressions are going to be. :)

- Aminogenesis Really, Really Clean Moisturizing Facial Cleanser - total star of this post. I finally bought it, it was already on my WL for a long time. I bought it during a discount for Dear Skin blog readers. Although money transfer to Croatia was extremely expensive I have no regrets. I just hope that I'll soon find out where to buy it in Serbia, so I don't have to struggle with purchase.

And finally one product that I forgot to photograph in the group photo:

- Freemann Pssst šampon za suvo pranje kose - dobila sam ga od Kozmetika Teatra koji uvozi Freeman u Srbiju. Jako se radujem isprobavanju ovog šampona i nadam se da će mi biti bar jednako dobar kao moj voljeni Batiste. Ovaj ima mnogo manje pakovanje pogodno za putovanja.

Toliko od mene za sada! Da li ste probali neki od ovih proizvoda? Koja recenzija vas najviše zanima?

- Freemann Pssst dry shampoo - I got it from Kozmetika Teatar which imports Freeman to Serbia. I'm really looking forward to trying out this shampoo and I hope that it will be at least as good as my beloved Batiste. This one has a much smaller packaging perfect for travel.

So that's all from me for now! Have you tried any of these products? What reviews are you most interested in?

Moji Golden Rose ruževi - 57, 86, 124

Dugo sam želela da imam bar nekoliko Golden Rose ruževa ali nisam znala gde da ih kupim. Onda sam konačno otkrila parfimeriju Kristabell i moji problemi su bili rešeni! Svaka njima čast na ogromnom izboru i normalnim cenama. Dva ruža sam dobila za rođendan, a jedan sam sama sebi kupila isto za rođendan (koje sve izgovore neću upotrebiti za te kupovine).

Takođe primetićete da sam počela da ubacujem na slike moj mučeni watermark. :D

I have long wanted to have at least a couple of Golden Rose lipsticks, but I didn't know where to buy them. Then I finally found Kristabell  perfumery and my problems were solved! I applaud them for their huge variety of products and normal prices. Two lipsticks I got for my birthday, and one I bought myself,  also for my birthday (ah all the excuses I make for these purchases).

Also, you'll notice that I began to insert my poor watermark on my photos. : D

Nijanse koje ću vam pokazati su 57, 86 i 124. Realno svi su mi predivni i jako sam ih zavolela. Naravno ovo su GR ruževi iz linije sa crnim pakovanjem koje sadrži 4,2g i oni koštaju po 190 dinara. Odmah imam samo jednu i jedinu zamerku na ovo pakovanje, a to je da je poklpac knap širine, a ruževi se lako otvaraju pa morate veoma pažljivo i ravno da ih zatvarate da se ruž ne bi izvukao i da ga poklopcem ne biste malo prignječili. To mi se desilo sa mojim prvom i jedinim GR ružem pre ova tri i od tad pazim kao luda (moj prvi GR ruž je nijansa 94 a o njemu pročitajte više ovde).


Shades that I will show you are 57, 86 and 124. Realistically they are all very beautiful and I've come to love them all. Of course these are GR lipsticks from their line with black packaging and they contain 4.2g and cost 190 RSD. Right now I have the one and only objection to this packaging, and that is that the lid fits very tight and lipsticks are easy to open, so you have to put the lid back very carefully and straight so the lipstick won't open in the process and so that you won't ruin the top of the lipstick. It happened to me with my first and only GR lipstick before these three and since then I'm very careful with this (my first GR lipstick was shade 94, read more here).

Pogledajte ova tri lepotana. Roza nijansa 57 je veoma poznata zbog velike sličnosti sa MAC Candy Yum Yum. Druga dva su tamnija i za njima će mnoge devojke posezati upravo u ovo hladno doba godine. Dakle na ovoj slici s leva na desno su nijanse 57, 124 i 86.


Look at these three beauties. Pink shade 57 is very famous because of it's similarities with MAC Candy Yum Yum. The other two are darker and a lot of girls will use them a lot during this cold part of the year. So in this picture from left to right are shades of 57, 124 and 86.

Evo ga i jedan grupni swatch. S leva na desno idu 57, 124 i 86. Sva tri ruža su veoma kremasta i pigmentovana. Jako se lako razmazuju i prijatni su na usnama. Ne isušuju usne ni malo. Ne lepe se za suve delove i homogeno se brišu. Srednje su postojani, izdrže jedno 3, 4 sata na meni. Ukratko - pravi predstavnici dobrih i jeftinih Golden Rose ruževa.

Here is one group swatch. From left to right are shades 57, 124 and 86. All three lipsticks are very creamy and pigmented. Very easy to apply and pleasant on the lips. They don't dry out the lips at all. They don't stick to dry parts and erase  homogeneously. Their durability is medium, they stay on my lips around 3 or 4 hours. In short - true representatives of good and cheap Golden Rose lipstick.

Sada ću da vam pokažem pojedinačno kako ovi ruževi izgledaju. Dakle nijansa 57 je svetla barbi roza, divna drečava i jako nežna ali i upadljiva. Pošto je reč o svetloj nijansi vrlo je lak za mazanje. Kao što sam već pomenula duplikat je za MAC Candy Yum Yum samo što je on koliko ja znam mat.

Now I'm going to show you how these lipsticks look individually. So 57 is a light shade of barbie pink, beautiful and neon, very tender but also striking. Since it is a light shade is very easy to apply. As I have already mentioned it is a dupe fore MAC Candy Yum Yum, but I think this one has matte finish.

Evo je i najbitnija slika na usnama na suncu i u senci. :)

Here is the most important photo on my lips in the sun and in shadow. :)

Nijansu 86 nisam baš skroz planirano naručila ali sam se odlučila za njega nakon nekih divnih slika po blogovima. Uopšte nisam zažalila. On me je baš iznenadio i takođe za njega su me mnogi pitali šta to imam na usnama. Boja je neka tamnija bobičasta nijansa. Ali nije mngoo ljubičast. Negde je između crvenog i ljubičastog. Nekako je dosta svetlucav, što mi se na prvu loptu nije toliko svidelo i izgledalo mi je nekako starinski, ali na usnama je ipak veoma lep, a ako hoću da još smanjim to presijavanje tu je uvek tapkanje papirnom maramicom.


Shade 86 I ordered a bit unplanned and I decided to go for it after seeing some nice photos on several blogs. I haven't regret it. It really surprised me and also many girls asked me what I have on my lips when I have worn it. The colour is a darker berry shade. But it isn't very purple. Somewhere between red and purple. It is kind of shimmery, which I didn't like at first since it seemed a bit old school, but on the lips it is still very nice, and if I want to have that glow even more reduced I dab my lips with a tissue paper.

Evo na slici na usnama možete malo da primetite kako sjaji, ali zapravo ne podseća na način na koji su sjajili neki ruževi moje mame kada sam bila mala. Pritom, na slikama uvek ruževi izgledaju za nijansu sjajnije negu u stvarnosti.

Here's the picture on the lips and as you can see it is shiny, although the shine is different form the one my mom's lipstick had when I was little. Also lipstick always look a bit more shiny on photos than in real life.

I za kraj nijansa 124. Za kupovinu ovog ruža zaslužan je post na blogu Anatomy of Beauty kada mi je ova nijansa i otišla na WL. Ovim ružem sam možda za nijansu razočarana jer nije ispao baš onakav kakvim sam ga zamišljala, mada i pored toga ga mnogo volim.


Finally shade 124. A post on Anatomy of Beauty blog is responsible for this lipstick, because when I first saw it, it went straight to my WL. This lipstick has disappointed me a little because it didn't come out exactly as I imagined it to be, but nevertheless I like it a lot.

Kada pogledate ruž on je izrazito braon boje i to prilično tamne, zbog čega sam ga i kupila. Na usnama međutim boja je mnogo blaža i više je neke tamno crvene boje koja vuče ka braon. Tekstura mu je nekako vodenasta. Ovo je dakle definitivno ruž koji zahteva tamno crvenu ili braon olovku ispod sebe. Prvo zato što je težak za precizno nanošene jer je taman i veoma maziv, a pošto nije ultra pigmentovan potrebna mu je mala pomoć da bi izgledao kako mu dolikuje. Mada ovo je možda i dobro jer je bez olovke svetliji i ipak mnogo nosiviji na svakodnevnoj bazi.

When you look at the lipstick it is distinctly brown colour and a quite dark shade, which is why I purchased it in the first place. On the lips colour is much lighter and more a dark red shade that slightly pulls to brown. Texture is somehow watery. So, this is definitely a lipstick that requires a dark red or brown lip liner underneath. First, because it is difficult to accurately apply because it is dark and very lubricant, and because it is not ultra pigmented so it needs a little help to make it look it's best. Although this is perhaps a good thing because without a lip liner it has lighter shade so it is much more wearable on a daily basis.

Slike su dakle bez olovke ispod. Nešto se nisam proslavila u mazanju ovog ruža kao što ćete primetiti. To dokazuje da je malo teži za rukovanje. Bar je kod mene takav slučaj.

Images are therefore without lip liner underneath. I didn't really apply it all that well as you can see. This proves that it is a little more difficult to handle.  At least for me.

Da li ste vi probali neki od ovih GR ruževa? Ako jeste koji su vaši utisci? Preporučite mi neku novu nijansu koja vam se mnogo svidela.

Šta mi se sviđa kod ovih GR ruževa:

- cena,

- pakovanje je čvrsto i lepo,

- mazivi su,

- pigmentacija,

- prijatni na usnama,

- solidna trajnost i homogeno brisanje,

- ne lepe se za suve delove,

- ogroman broj nijansi.

Ne sviđa mi se:

- dostupnost (realno u Srbiji ih nema na mnogo mesta, ili ima ali sa veoma mršavim izborom),

- moraju veoma pažljivo da se zatvaraju,

- nijansa 124 ne može samostalno da postigne na usnama boju kao u pakovanju.

- The packaging is nice and tight,

- They are very lubricant,

- Pigmentation,

- Pleasant on the lips,

Stevan Still Giveaway

Svi poklanjaju ponešto u poslednje vreme. Valjda nas je sve pomalo ponela ova predpraznična atmosfera. Danas ću u saradnji sa Stevan Still kompanijom (njihova fb strana) da započnem jedno malo darivanje. Oni između ostalog proizvode brojne preparate za kosu. Zaista svašta imaju, a asortiman pogledajte na njihovom sajtu.

There are so many giveaways lately. I guess we are all a bit into the holiday atmosphere. Today I have some presents for you in cooperation with Stevan Still company (their facebook page). They  produce, among other things, numerous hair products. If you are interested you can look up all of their stuff on their web site.

Ovaj put možete da dobijete Double Bubble šampon i Soft & Shine balzam, oba sa eteričnim uljem pomorandže. Oba su namenjena farbanoj kosi. Ova kolekcija produžava trajnost boje i sadrži pH faktor protiv ispiranja kao i UV faktor protiv sunca. Takođe usporava i mašćenje korena i daje kosi volumen i svežinu.

Kada sam prvi put posegnula za njihovim proizvodima upravo sam ova dva proizvoda i kupila i bila sam zadovoljna. Lepo peru i neguju kosu, ne otežavaju je i kosa izgleda baš lepo. Ovaj put darivanje je otvoreno samo za osobe iz Srbije, zbog težine paketa koji ću morati da vam šaljem. :)

Potrebno je samo da ispunite Rafflecopter ispod, a dobitnika izvlačim naravno 1.1.2014. Važi isto pravilo kao i u prošlom darivanju: ako mi dobitnica ne odgovori na mail u roku od 48h biram novu. Naravno dobitnika bira random. Srećno!

P.S. prvi put koristim Rafflecopter, tako da se nadam da će sve lepo da radi.  

Today you can get Double Bubble shampoo and Soft & Shine conditioner, both with orange essential oils. Both are intended for coloured hair. This collection extends the durability of the hair colour and has a pH factor against it wearing out as well as UV factor against the sun. It also slows down the time until your roots become greasy and gives the hair volume and freshness.

When I first reached for their products I got these two products and I was pleased. They wash and nourish your hair well, don't make it heavy and the hair looks really nice. This giveaway is opened only for people from Serbia, because of the weight of the package that I'll have to send. :)

You just have to fill Rafflecopter app below, and of course I draw winners on the 01/01/2014. The same rule apply here as in the previous giveaway: if the winner doesn't respond to my email within 48 hours I choose a new one. Of course winner is chosen randomly. Good Luck!

P. S. This is  the first time I'm using Rafflecopter, so I hope that everything will work well.

Vichy Idealia BB Cream - Teinte Medium

Odlučila sam da je došlo vreme da pišem o BB kremi koja je poslednja došla do mene, a to je Vichy Idealia BB krema. Ova BB krema dolazi u dve nijanse Light i Medium, a moja je tamnija tj. Medium. BB krema dolazi u kartonskoj kutiji, a unutra je dugačka tuba sa veoma uskim otvorom koji je odličan za doziranje (ista je kao tuba kod Garnier BB kreme za masnu kožu). Tuba sadrži 40ml.

I decided it was time to write about BB cream that has became my possession not so long ago, and that is Idealia Vichy BB cream. This BB Cream comes in two shades Light and Medium, and mine is a darker one ie. Medium. BB cream comes in a cardboard box and inside is a long tube with a narrow opening, which is great for dosing (the tube is the same as for Garnier BB cream for oily skin). Tube contains 40ml.

Ova BB krema bi trebalo da hidrira kožu, ujednačava ten i daje mu blistavost, štiti od UV zraka i sa vremenom poboljšava celokupan izgled kože. Ono što se meni prvo svidelo je što ima SPF 25. Nijansa me je malo uplašila prvi put kada sam je istisnula iz tube jer je za nijansu tamnija od mog tena. Međutim ova BB krema se toliko savršeno stapa sa mojim tenom da je to neverovatno. Daje mi prirodan i zdrav izgled, ne izgledam bledo i ispijeno, kakva znam da budem kada uzmem neku BB kremu u svetlijoj nijansi, jer su one uglavnom za nijansu svetlije od moje kože. Iskreno mislim da bi ova krema odgovarala i nekom malo svetlijem, ali svakako i nekom i za koju nijansu tamnijem od mene, a ja sam recimo Bourjois HM Serum 53 nijansa, ili Revlon CS 180 (mada mi je on blago svetliji od tena).

This BB cream should hydrates the skin, even out complexion and give it radiance, protect against UV rays and eventually improve the overall appearance of the skin. What I liked was that it has SPF 25. I was a little scared the first time I used it as this shade is slightly darker than my skin tone. However, this BB cream blends  perfectly with my skin tone. It is so unbelievable. It gives me a natural and healthy look, I don't look pale and tired, as can happen when I use a BB cream that is slightly lighter shade than my skin. I honestly think that this BB cream would suit girls with a little lighter skin tone, but certainly ones with a few shades darker skin than mine, and I am somewhere around Bourjois HM Serum 53 shade, or Revlon CS 180 (although it is slightly lighter than my skin).

Prvo moram da kažem da je ova BB krema za mene san snova. Ovo je ubedljivo prva i jedina stvar koju sam mazala na lice a koja se ama baš ni malo ne vidi kada se namaže, a ten je ujednačen i blistav. Totalno neverovatno. Prekrivanje je srednje ka slabijem, pa svakako nije za osobe sa mnogo nepravilnosti po licu. BB krema daje blag dewy finiš, veoma prirodan. Moja koža je mešovita i imam masnu T zonu i normalne obraze. Ljudi sa ovakvom kožom znaju da beže od dewy finiša, ali sa pravim proizvodom možete da doživite preporod kao i ja. Sa njom ne izgledam ni malo masno i što je još čudnije i divnije, sa njom ubedljivo najsporije prosijam od svih proizvoda koje sam koristila, čak i bez setovanja T zone nekim praškastim proizvodom. Jednostavno mi je koža bolja čak i od čiste kože bez ičega na sebi.

Evo ga i sastav (CosDNA):

First I have to say that this BB cream is like a dream for me. This is by far the first and only thing that I applied to my face that is absolutely invisible when applied, and makes my complexion even and radiant. Totally unbelievable. Coverage is medium towards weaker, so it certainly isn't for those with a lot of imperfections on the face. BB cream gives mild dewy finish, very natural. My skin is mixed and I have oily T zone and normal cheeks. People with this type of skin usually avoid dewy finish, but with the right product, you can experience a rebirth as I did. With it I don't look oily at all and what is even stranger and even more wonderful is that it makes my skin become oily slower than any other product I have ever used, even without setting my T zone with some powdery product. My skin is even better than without anything on it.

Here are the ingredients (CosDNA):

Znam da sam se raspisala ali kad se ljubav rodi teško mogu da se obuzdam. Srećna sam jer ću moći i leti da je nosim jer je malo tamnija od mene pa će i tad izgledati prirodno. Inače mislim da bi ova BB krema bila odlična za sve tipove kože, jedino bi možda baš masnoj bila problematična, mada nikad se ne zna jer moja T zona baš dobro reaguje na nju.

I know that I have written a lot already, but when love is born I can hardly help myself. I am happy because I'll also be able to use it when summer comes since it is slightly darker than my skin, so it will still look natural then. I think this BB cream is excellent for all skin types, except perhaps for very oily, but you never know because my T zone really responded well to it.

Tekstura kreme je srednje gusta, dakle zaista podseća na BB kremu, za razliku od nekih koje imaju baš retku formulu. Ali jako se lako i bez problema razmazuje i odmah izgleda odlično. Nema nekog čekanja da se upije ili nešto slično. A i prilično je postojana, skoro ceo dan mi stoji na licu, mada ne može baš ceo dan da izdrži da stoji i prekriva kao kad se nanese.

The texture of the cream is medium thick, so it is really reminiscent of a BB cream, unlike some which have very rare formula. It is applied very easily and smears without problems and immediately looks great. There's no waiting for it to dry or anything like that. And it's pretty durable. It stays on my face almost the whole day, but not quite as strong at the end of the day compared to the time of application.

Za sada ne mogu da kažem da sam primetila da mi je ona popravila sam izgled kože, ali to niti od nje tražim niti sam očekivala. Meni je bitno da sa njom izgledam odlično, prirodno i ne sjajim se ko luda. Jedina manja mana ove BB kreme, pored postojanja samo dve nijanse (mada sumnjam da je to toliki problem jer se stapa ko luda sa tenom) je cena koja je ipak malo jača i iznosi oko 2600 dinara. Mada jedna tuba će vam sigurno trajati bar nekoliko meseci sa svakodnevnim korišćenjem. Evo ga i swatch:

For now, I cannot say that I noticed that it improved the appearance of my skin, but neither is asked that from it, neither I expected it. It is important that I look great with it, natural and I don't look oily a lot. The only minor drawback of this BB cream, despite the existence of only two shades (although I doubt that's much of a problem as it blend like crazy with skin) is the price that is a little stronger and is about 2600 RSD. Although one tube will definitely last at least several months with daily use. Here's the swatch:

Obožavam ovu BB kremu. Neplanirano je došla do mene, ali me je zato skroz oduševila. Da li ste vi probali ovu BB kremu i kakvo je vaše mišljenje?

Liebster nagrada

Jedno ogromno HVALA za ovu nominaciju Mishi sa bloga Crossing beauty. Uvek su mi zabavni ovakvi postovi jer čitam nove stvari o devojkama iza blogova koje pratim. Evo pitanja koje je ona postavila. Baš mi je bilo zabavno da na njih odgovaram.

1. Prvo što primetiš kod osobe prilikom upoznavanja je?

Kako izgleda, celo lice. Imam problem što prilikom upoznavanja nesvesno pravim mentalnu zabelešku kako osoba izgleda i uopšte ne slušam ime koje izgovara i onda se posle sramotim i pitam još sto puta.

2. Da li smatraš da su određeni kozmetički brendovi neopravdano skupi? Ako da, navedi jedan.

Ma iskreno mislim da mnogi skuplji brendovi napumpavaju cene zbog imena. Realno ako neka krema košta 6000 dinara a postoje slične za manje od hiljadu, osim ako su zlato stavljali unutra, veći deo cene je plaćanje imena. Ne mogu da navedem konkretno ime pošto generalno smatram da je tako kod većine skupih brendova. Često oni imaju i neke super stvari ali često imaju i proizvode koji nemaju ništa posebno u sastavu i ne rade ništa posebno, a skupi su.

3. Prvi proizvod kupljen sopstvenim novcem?

E to stvarno ne znam. Znam samo da mi su jedni od prvih komada šminke bila dva Aurina ruža a mislima da je to bilo od prilike u neko vreme kad sam počela da radim i dobijam platu.

4. Pas ili mačka? I zašto? :)

Pas. Pa umiljatiji su mi i zabavniji. Iskreniji. I ne grebu dok se igraju :) Mada volim ja i mačke.

5. Prva stvar koju napraviš kad se probudiš?

Operem zube i umijem se. Ne volim ni da govorim bez opranih zuba. Nakon toga popijem vitamine i vodu, da razredim krv, a onda dolazi pravljenje kafe i čitanje malo blogonovosti pre odlaska na posao.

6. Proizvod koji te je oduševio u poslednje vreme? Ali baš, baš oduševio :)

Nerafinisano kokosovo ulje! Divno je i za kosu i za okoloočnu regiju i za pravljenje pilinga za usne. A i prosto ludim za mirisom kokosa. Mmmmmm!

7. Osvojila si sedmicu na LOTO-u :) Šta ćeš napraviti?

Kupujem veliki stan i sređujem ga kako ja želim. Odplaćujem kredit za ovaj koji sad imam i onda taj iznajmljujem. A može i novi auto :)

8. Sećaš li se svoje prve on line kupovine? Ako da, šta se to lepo našlo u korpici? :)

Ništa! I to zato što sam naručila ogromnu e.l.f. paletu koja mi nikada nije stigla. Ali bar su mi vratili pare. Onda sam pokušala da kupim nešto od Sleek koje isto nije stiglo i onda nakon nekoliko meseci ganjanja poslali su mi opet i konačno je stiglo. Sleek paleta senki i Face Form.

9. Ulaziš u drogeriju/ parfimeriju. Polica ka kojoj ideš je?

Uh ovo baš zavisi od toga zašto sam ušla. Ako sam ušla da razgledam onda realno prolazim sve police i gledam ima li nešto novo na njima.

10. Šta ćeš dobiti od Deda Mraza ove godine?

Deda Mraz ne postoji! Možda mi neko kupi nešto za novu godinu ili ja sama sebi ali nešto su mali izgledi za tako nešto.

Hvala Mishi za nominaciju. Ja neću dalje nominovati pošto se većina blogova koje pratim već ionako našla na nečijem spisku u ovom krugu nagrađivanja. :)

An enormous THANKS for this nomination to Misha from Crossing beauty blog. It is always so entertaining to read these posts and in them new things about the girls behind the blogs I follow. Here are the questions she asked. It was really fun to answer them.

1. The first thing you notice when meeting a person is?

The whole face. I have a problem since when I meet someone I unconsciously make a mental note of how a person looks like and don't listen to their name, and then after I'm embarrassed but I have to ask hundred times what is their name.

2. Do you think that certain cosmetic brands are unreasonably expensive? If so, provide one brand.

Well honestly I think that many of the more expensive brands pump up their prices because of their name. Realistically , if a cream costs 6000 RSD and there are similar ones for less than a 1000 RSD, unless they are putting gold in theirs, much of the cost is paying for their name. I cannot list the specific brand because in general I think that most of expensive brands do this. Often they have some great stuff, but often they'll have products that don't do anything special and don't have anything special in their ingredients, but are still expensive.

3. The first item you purchased with your own money?

I really don't know. I just know that one of the first pieces of make-up were two Aura lipsticks and I think that I bought them around the time I started working and got my first paycheck.

4. Dog or cat ? And why? :)

Dog. They are sweeter and more fun. Honest. I don't scratch while playing :) Although I love cats, too.

5. The first thing you do that when you wake up?

Brush my teeth and wash my face. I don't even like to talk without my teeth washed. After that I drink vitamins and water to make my blood thinner after the night, and then comes making of coffee and reading a little of blog news before going to work.

6. The product you have been impressed by lately? But really, really impressed :)

Extra virgin coconut oil! It's great for hair and as a night eye cream and to make peelings for lips. I'm just crazy for the scent of coconut. Mmmmmm!

7. You win on lottery :) What are you going to do?

Buy a large apartment and organize it the way I want. I would pay my bank credit for this apartment and then I rent it. A might buy a new car, too :)

8. Do you remember your first on-line purchase? If so, what nice thing could be found in your goody basket? :)

Nothing! I ordered a huge e.l.f.  eye shadow palette, which we never arrived. But at least I got my money back. Then I tried to buy something from Sleek, and that also didn't arrive. Then after a few months they sent me my order again and it finally arrived. Sleek palette of eye shadows and Face Form.

9. You enter the drugstore/perfumery. To which shelves you go to?

Uh this really depends on why I entered. If I went to look around then I would actually go through all the shelves and look if there's anything new on them.

10. What will you get from Santa this year?

Santa Claus doesn't exist! Maybe someone will buy something to me for the new year or I might by something myself, but that's unlikely.

Thanks again Misha for the nomination. I won't nominate anyone else, since most blogs I follow have already found themselves on someone's list in this nomination round. :)
