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?

New In jeeeej!

Ovaj New In nije mnogo obilan ali je meni lično najdraži do sad, pošto ima nekoliko proizvoda zbog kojih sam presrećna zato što su u mom posedu. Tako da neću da odugovlačim i prelazim odmah na stvar.

This New In isn't that abundant but it is still my favorite one yet, since I will show you several products that made me very happy to finally be in my possession. So I will get right to it.

- Kineska paleta 120 senki - koliko sam je samo želela, ali nije mi se dalo da je naručim on-line, a svi koji su ih preprodavali (a da su iz Srbije) su prosto podizali cene do nenormlanih visina i želeli da zarade mnogo na njoj, tako da nisam nikako želela da im priuštim to zadovoljstvo. I potpuno slučajno sam naletela na paletu u jednoj kineskoj prodavnici. Platila sam je samo 1200 dinara. Posle sam proverila po rasporedu senki i to zaista jeste jedna od paleta koje se mogu naručiti on-line (ova konkretno paleta postoji u četiri kombinacije boja senki). Uglavnom do sada sam je malo isprobala i oduševljena sam!!!

- Nyx mat fiksator - konačno sam ga kupila i platila sam ga 720 dinara. Videćemo kako će se pokazati. Na prvu loptu mi se čini super, ali sačekaću da mi spadne sreća zbog kupovine. Onda će utisci biti realniji. :)

- Blush četkica za blendanje 14B - i nju sam baš želela. Ovaj mesec sam baš sebi ispunjavala želje. Košta samo 196 dinara.

- Artdeco Lash Growth Activator - nadam se da radi. Još jedna stvar koju sam želela. Cena mu je 1311 dinara pošto je trenutno sniženje na sve Artdeco maskare i slične proizvode. Trk u Jasmin!

- Aura papirići za blotovanje - konačno jeftini papirići za blotovanje! A podjednako su dobri. Koštaju samo 199 dinara.

- Artdeco Dita von Teese ruž 607 Bon Bon - opet sam kupila na sniženju (mada se i nisu pretrgli sa sniženjem), pošto ova kolekcija polako završava svoj mandat. Platila sam ga 945 dinara. Moj prvi Artdeco ruž. Maziću ga, paziću ga i zvaću ga Đole! Obožavam ga. Uskoro stižu i utisci i prelepe slike. :)

- Chinese 120 eyeshadow palette - I wanted it so much for a while, but I never ordered it on-line, and everyone who was reselling it (and who is from Serbia) raised their prices insanely much and I wouldn't give them that much money even if that was my last option. And completely by accident I came across this palette in a Chinese store. I paid only 1200 dinars for it. After I checked on-line the colours of eyeshadows inside I confirmed that it really was one of the palettes that can be ordered on-line (this particular palette is available in four colour combinations). Anyway, so far I have tried a few of them and I am thrilled!

- Nyx matte setting spray - I finally bought it and I paid 720 RSD for it. I'll see if it is good soon. My first impression are great, but I'll wait for my happiness from buying it to stop. Then I will have a more realistic impressions. :)

- Blush blending brush 14B - one more thing that I really wanted. This month I was really making my fishes come true. It costs only 196 RSD.

- Artdeco Lash Growth Activator - hope it works. Another thing I wanted. Its price is 1311 RSD, because of the current discount on all Artdeco mascaras and similar products. Run to Jasmine!

- Aura blotting papers - finally cheap blotting papers! And just as good. They cost only 199 RSD.

- Artdeco Dita Von Teese lipstick 607 Bon Bon - again I bought it on a discount (but nor a really big one), as this collection is slowly ending its mandate. I paid 945 RSD for it. My first Artdeco lipstick. I'll cuddle it, protect it and it call it Đole! I love it. Review and beautiful pictures are coming soon. :)

A sada i malo preparative:

-  Eucerim AquaPorin okoloočna kremica - uvek sam u potrazi za dobrim kremicama za ovu regiju. Nadam se da će mi ova odgovarati. Platila sam je 1225 dinara.

- Biomelem balzam sa nevenom - inače ne pokazujem proizvode ovog tipa, ali ovaj balzam moram. Jeftin je i oduševljena sam koliko ima manje sastojaka od običnih balzama. Mnogo prirodniji i nadam se dobar. Videćemo. Cena - 255 dinara.

- Freshka Gora pasta za zube sa cimetom - morala sam da je probam. Postoji sa mentom, pomorandžom i cimetom. Za sada sam veoma zadovoljna. Košta 150 dinara i kupuje se u prodavnicama zdrave hrane. Postoji i duplo veće pakovanje.

And now a little cosmetics:

- Eucerim AquaPorin cream for eye region - always looking for good creams for this region. I hope it will be good. I paid 1225 RSD for it.

- Biomelem conditioner with calendula - I usually don't show you this type of  products, but I had to show you this conditioner. It's cheap and I am thrilled with how much less ingredients it has compared to ordinary conditioners. More natural, and I hope good. We'll see. Price - 255 RSD.

- Freshka Gora toothpaste with cinnamon - I had to try it. There are combinations with mint, orange and cinnamon. So far I am very pleased. It costs 150 RSD and can be purchased in healthy food stores. There is also a big packaging of this toothpaste.

I to bi bilo to za sada. Uskoro ću naravno pisati i detaljnije utiske. Šta vas specijalno zanima? Jeste li vi probali neki od ovih proizvoda?

Takođe uklonila sam nekoliko proizvoda sa svoje WL! Dakle ispunila sam sebi želje sa WL i sada sa iste uklanjam:

-  Nyx mat fiksator, 

- Artdeco Lash Growth Activator, 

- Artdeco Dita von Teese ruž 607 Bon Bon. 

And that's it for now. Soon I will certainly write more detailed impressions. Is something specially interesting for you? Have you tried any of these products?

Also I removed some products from my WL! I made some of my wishes from WL true and now I can remove these product from my WL:

- Nyx matte setting spray,

- Artdeco Lash Growth Activator,

- Artdeco Dita Von Teese lipstick 607 Bon Bon.

Blush četkica za mineralni puder 32

Koliko sam samo bila srećna kada sam videla da su Blush četkice počele da se prodaju u Alexandar Cosmetics-u! Slaba sam na četkice i mnogo volim da ih kupujem, ali isto tako do sad nisam kupila ni jednu od skupljih četkica. Zato sam se obradovala kada sam videla ove jeftine četkice, koje izgledaju jako kvalitetno.

 Za početak kupila sam četkicu broj 32 koja je namenjena nanošenju mineralnog pudera u prahu. Kupila sam baš nju iz isključivo jednog razloga - izgleda skoro potpuno identično kao Sephorina četkica broj 45, koju jako dugo želim, a koja je skoro pet puta skuplja. Ova četkica košta 447 dinara.

Oh how happy I was, when I saw that Alexandar Cosmetics started selling Blush brushes! I have a weakness for makeup brushes and I love buying them, but so far I haven't bought any of the more expensive ones. That's why I was so happy when I saw these cheap brushes, which looked very nice.

To start with, I bought a brush 32, which is intended for applying mineral loose powders. I bought it for purely one reason - it looks almost exactly the same as Sephora's brush 45, which I wanted for a long time, and which is nearly five times more expensive. This brush costs 447 RSD.

Vlakna ove četkice su sintetička i dvobojno ofarbana, a drška je od metala i drveta (bar se meni tako čini). Čvrsta je i teška, i izgleda kvalitetno napravljeno. Ni jedna dlačica nije ispala prilikom korišćenja niti prilikom pranja.

Četkica je namenjena nanošenju praškastog mineralno pudera, ali kako ja njega ne koristim isprobala sam je za sve druge moguće namene. Za nanošenje pudera u prahu i kamenu je odlična. Jako je mekana i prijatna na koži. Najugodnija četkica koju posedujem. Takođe je i prilično gusta pa se ne savija već lepo utrljava proizvod. Prava divna četkica za mineralni puder.

The fibers of this brush are synthetic and dual colour, and the handle is made of metal and wood (at least it seems that way to me). Solid and heavy, it looks well made. Not one hair fell out during use or while washing.

Brush is designed for mineral powder, but as I don't use this type of products, I used it for all other purposes. It is excellent for application of loose and pressed powders. It is very soft and pleasant to the skin. The most pleasant brush I own. It's also quite thick and doesn't bend, so it rubs the product in very well. Truly wonderful mineral powder brush.

Njom sam nanosila i tečni puder. Pošto je površina četkice prilično ravna i samo blago zaobljena, jako lepo razmazuje i blenda tečni puder. Nakon nanošenja pudera ovom četkicom, nikakve linije se ne mogu videti i sve je prelepo izblendano i prirodno, a za takav rezultat potrebno je jako malo vremena.

Veličina četkice je baš taman, nije premala pa da nanošenje traje sto godina, a ni prevelika pa da su manji delovi ispod oka i oka nosa i usta teže dostupni. Jedina mana je što zna da upije malo više pudera, pa nije baš idealna ako puder nanosite tako što ga istisnete na nadlanicu pa sa nje uzimate puder i nanosite na lice. Zato ja uzmem i prstima rasporedim puder po licu, a onda ga cetkom brzo razmažem i izblendam. Na ovaj način mi nije poterbno više pudera, a sam proces nanošenja traje baš kratko.

I used it for applying liquid foundation as well. Since its surface is quite flat and only slightly rounded, it spreads and blend liquid foundation very well. After applying the foundation with this brush, no lines can be seen, and everything is beautiful and naturally blended, and all this is done in no time.

Brush size is just right, not too small so that the application taking ages, and not too big so that the smaller parts under the eye and around the nose and mouth aren't so easily reachable. The only drawback is that it can soak up a little more foundation, so it's not ideal if you apply it by squeezing it out on the back of your hand and that taking the foundation from there with a brush and apply it to the face. That's why I use my fingers and apply the foundation on a few places on my face and then quickly spread it and blend it whit this brush. In this way I don't need any more foundation than usual and the application process is very short.

Da rezimiram. Ova četkica je jeftina, jako kvalitetna i odlična i za praškaste i za tečne pudere. Ja sam njom prezadovoljna i obožavam je. Koristim je za milion različitih proizvoda. Tako je meka da bih je samo nosala sa sobom i prelazila njome po koži. Sigurno vredi svaku paru.

To sum up. This brush is cheap, very good quality and great for powder and liquid foundation. I am very happy with it and I love it. I use it for a million different products. It's so soft that I wish I could take it with me everywhere and cuddle my face with it. Certainly worth every penny.

Da li ste je vi probali? Ili neku drugu Blush četkicu?
