E pa da sumiramo utiske o desetak proizvoda koje sam potrošila u poslednjih par meseci. Kada ih pogledam ovako na gomili, mahom su to bili baš super proizvodi.


Well, let's summarize the impressions of ten products which I have spent over the last few months. When I look at them together like this, I see that most of them were very good products.

- Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 Tinted Dry Touch Face Fluid - BB krema sa visokim faktorom i velikim prekrivanjem. Dobra je ali zbog velikog prekrivanja delujem sebi ponekad malo kao lutka, a glupo je namazati jako tanak sloj, jer se onda ne štitim od sunca dovoljno dobro. Ali sve u svemu nije loša. Cena joj je 1825 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Golden Rose Longstay Matte Face Powder - 08 - Odličan puder, koji dobro matira i nije brašnjav na licu. A ima i solidan izbor nijansi i izjednačava ten. Mnogo sam ga volela. Ima i dobro pakovanje sa ogledalom i aplikatorom. Košta 979 dinara , a moja ocena je 4/5.


- Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 50 Tinted Dry Touch Face Fluid - BB cream with a high SPF and coverage. Good, but due to the large coverage I sometimes look to my self little like a doll, and it would be stupid to apply a very thin layer, because then it won't protect me from the sun well enough. But all in all not bad. The price is 1825 RSD. Score 4/5.
- Golden Rose Longstay Matte Face Powder - 08 - Excellent powder, which mattifies well and is not floury on the face. There's also a nice selection of shades and it evens out the complexion. I loved it a lot. The packaging is good, it contains a mirror and an applicator. It costs 979 RSD, and my score is 4/5.

- Avene TriAcneal krema protiv nepravilnosti - Veoma dobra krema za uklanjanje bubuljica, ali kod mene nije efikasna koliko LPR Effaclar Duo+, šta da radim. Inače je veoma dobra. Košta 1790 dinara, a moja ocena je 5/5.

- La Roche-Posay termalna voda - Voda, kao voda. Ja nisam neki fanatik za termalne vode. Ipak kada koristim ulja na licu, najviše volim da ih koristim u kombinaciji sa termalnim vodama, kako bi se lakše i brže upila. Cena ove termalne vode ne znam kolika je, ali veliko pakovanje od 150ml košta oko 800 dinara, Moja ocena je 4/5.


- Avene TriAcneal - very good cream to remove pimples, but in my case not as effective as LPR Effaclar Duo +. Otherwise very good. It costs 1790 RSD, and my score is 5/5.
- La Roche-Posay Thermal Water - Water, like water. I'm not a fanatic for thermal waters. However, when using oils on my face, I like to use them in combination with thermal waters, so they are easily and quickly absorbed. I don't know its price but the price of 150ml packaging is around 800 RSD, and my score is 4/5.

- Kräuterhof Power Anti-Cellulite Serum - Osim što ne peče, ne vidim razliku u odnosu na običan gel. Kako je pakovanje malo, nikakav efekat nisam primetila dok je pakovanje trajalo. Neću ga više kupovati. Inače košta 841 dinara, a ocena je 3/5.

- Nivea Protect & Care dezodorans - Predivan nežan antiperspirant, koji divno miriše. Naravno na plavu Nivea kremu. Ne ostavlja mnogo bele tragove. Košta oko 350 dinara, a moja ocena je 4/5.

- Lilly krema za pete - Vrlo jeftina krema za ispucalu i suvu kožu stopala sa 10% uree, a moram priznati da radi dobro, čak bolje i od nekih malo skupljih krema sa više uree. Cena joj je 159 dinara, a moja ocena je 4/5.


- Kräuterhof Power Anti-Cellulite Serum - Except the fact that it does not burn, I do not see the difference compared to the  regular gel. Since the packaging of the serum is much smaller, I did not notice any effect on my skin, while I was using it. I will not buy it again. It costs or 841 RSD, and my score is 3/5.
- Nivea Protect & Care Deodorant - Beautiful gentle antiperspirant, which smells great. Of course, like the blue Nivea cream. It leaves a bit of white stains. It costs around 350 RSD, and my score is 4/5.
- Lilly Heel Cream - Very inexpensive cream for dry skin and chapped feet with 10% urea, but I have to admit it works well, even better than some a little more expensive creams with more urea. Its price is 159 RSD, and my score is 4/5.

- Allin losion - Odličan tretman za brži rast kose i jačanje korena. Nedavno sam pisala o njemu, i već posle jedne bočice kosa mi je u boljem stanju. Košta 835 dinara, a moja ocena je 5/5.

- Still Argan maska za kosu - Solidna maska, koja lepo neguje i omekšava kosu. Namenjena je suvoj i oštećenoj kosi, i sadrži arganovo ulje. Košta 449 dinara, a moja ocena je 4/5.

- Schwarzkopf Gliss Oil Nutritive tretman - Jedan od brojnih Gliss proizvoda koji se ne ispiraju. Ja ga mahom prskam na mokru kosu nakon pranja, ali može i na suvu. Oil Nutritive ima fenomenalan sastav, sa većim brojem ulja. Lepo omekšava kosu i olakšava rasčešljavanje, ali to rade i drugi Gliss proizvodi, sa manje zanimljivim sastavom. Cena je 343 dinara, a moja ocena 5/5.


- Allin Lotion - An excellent treatment for faster hair growth and stronger roots. I wrote about it recently, and after only one bottle my hair is in better condition. It costs 835 RSD, and my score is 5/5.
- Still Argan Hair Mask - Solid mask, which nourishes and softens nicely. It is designed for dry and damaged hair, and contains argan oil. It costs 449 RSD, and my score is 4/5.
- Schwarzkopf Gliss Oil Nutritive Treatment - One of the many Gliss leave in products. I mostly sprayed it onto damp hair after washing, but it can be used on dry hair, too. Oil Nutritive has a phenomenal composition, with a large number of oils. Beautifully softens the hair and makes it easier to comb, but other Gliss products with less interesting composition do the same, too. The price is 343 RSD, and my score is 5/5.

Kanta Vol. 23

Ovaj post sa potrošenim proizvodima sam dugo čekala i to zbog jednog proizvoda koji koristim već više od godinu dana, Velika pakovanja proizvoda su svakako veoma isplativa, ali zato mi ti proizvodi toliko dosade da na kraju krenem da pri svakom korišćenju sipam sve više kako bi se konačno potrošili.

I was waiting for this post for a long time because of one the product that I have spent, I have been using for over a year. Large packagings are certainly very cost-effective, but I get bored of them with time, so in the end I always use more product with each use, just to spend them faster. 

Za početak tu su nekoliko proizvoda za kosu:
- Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo - jednako dobro odmašćuje kosu kao i ostali, a pored toga daje kosi i volumen. To praktično znači da se malo ponaša kao lak za kosu i kosu ulepi. Generalno nisam ljubitelj volumena dobijenog na ovaj način, pa ipak neću kupovati ovaj Batiste šampon ponovo, već se vraćam na obične bez efekta volumena. Cena mu je oko 600 dinara a moja ocena je 3/5.
- Stillpro Argan Balzam - dobar balzam koji omekšava kosu, neguje je i lepo miriše. Volela sam ga i zbog velikog pakovanja i dobre cene od 449 dinara. Ocena 4/5.
- Serical Cream al Latte maska za kosu - ogromna (1 kg) i prejeftina maska za kosu od 400 dinara. Super omekšava i neguje kosu. Miriše na mleko i traje beskonačno. Konačno potrošena maska a moja ocena je 5/5.

First there are several hair products:

- Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo - equally good like the others, but in addition to removing oil it also gives hair volume. This practically means that it behaves a little like hair spray and makes hair sticky. Generally I'm not a fan of the volume obtained in this way, so I will not buy this Batiste shampoo again, but instead I will go back to regular ones without volume effect. Price is about 600 RSD and my score is 3/5.

- Stillpro Argan Conditioner - a good conditioner that softens the hair, nourishes it and smells nice. I also loved it because of the large packaging and good price of 449 RSD. Score 4/5.

- Serical Cream al Latte Hair Mask - huge (1 kg) and very cheap hair mask for 400 RSD. Nicely softens and nourishes the hair. It smells like milk and lasts indefinitely. I finally spent the entire thing and my score is 5/5.

Malo šminke:

- Rimmel Stay Matte puder - odlično matira i ne kruni se. Nema nikakvo prekrivanje pa nijansa i nije toliko bitna, mada sve koje kod nas imaju da se kupe su prilično svetle. Cena pudera je  650 RSd, a moja ocena 4/5.

- Aura Velvet Matte puder - sušta suprotnost od prethodnog pudera. Ima srednje prekrivanje i mnogo se kruni. Matira solidno mada to traje samo nekoliko sati. Formula mu je loša i vrlo se lako polomio, a nekako mi nije bio dovoljno dobar da bih se potrudila da ga popravim, tako da leti u kantu. Cena pudera je 629 RSD, Moja ocena 3/5.

- Rimmel Wonderfull maskara - odlična maskara koja daje volumen, ali ne slepljuje trepavice. Dobra srednje gusta formula i dobra četkica. Cena maskare je 835 RSD, a moja ocena 4/5.

And a little makeup:

- Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - great mattification and no crumbling. It has no coverage, so the shade is not that important, but all shades that can be found here are quite light. Price is 650 RSD, and my score is 4/5.

- Aura Velvet Matte Pressed Powder - the exact opposite of the previous powder. It has a medium coverage and crumbles a lot. Matiffication is not bad, although it only lasts a few hours. Formula is bad and it is easily broke. It wasn't good enough for me to fix it, so I'm throwing it away. Price of the powders is 629 RSD and my score 3/5.

- Rimmel Wonderfull Mascara - a great volume mascara, that won't stick lashes together. Good medium-dense formula and a good brush. Price is 835 RSD and my score is 4/5.

I za kraj malo kozmetike:

- Avon Planet Spa Heavenly Hydraton ulje za lice - Ulje mahom na bazi susamovog i maslinovog ulja. Lepo hidrira, mada po sastavu nije ništa posebno i nema potpuno prirodan sastav. Cena ulja je 630 RSD, a moja ocena 5/5.

- Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control SPH 50+ - najbolja krema za lice sa SPF-om. Ni malo ne masti lice, a odlično štiti. Retka i lagana formula. Cena kreme je 1565 dinara, a moja ocena 5/5.

- Gerovital H3 Derma+ fluid za skidanje šminke - mleko koje vrlo dobro i lako skida svu šminku. Ne peče kada upadne u oči. Cena mleka je 1200 RSD, a moja ocena 4/5.

- Balea krema za smanjivanje zadebljanja na stopalima - jeftina a prilično efikasna krema. Lako omekšava i drži pod kontrolom kožu stopala, sprečavajući i usporavajući formiranje suvih i zadebljalih delova kože. Cena kreme je samo 245 RSD a moja ocena 4/5.

And finally a bit of cosmetics:

- Avon Planet Spa Heavenly Hydraton Face Oil - Oil mainly based on sesame and olive oil. Nicely moisturizes, although its composition is nothing special and it doesn't have a completely natural composition. The price of this oil is 630 RSD and my score is 5/5.

- Eucerin Sun Gel-Creme Oil Control SPH 50+ - the best face cream with SPF. Won't make the face oily at all, and also provides great sun protection. Rare and light formula. Price is 1565 RSD, and my score 5/5.

- Gerovital H3 Derma+ makeup removal fluid - milk that can very well and easily remove any makeup. It does not burn when it gets in your eyes. The milk costs 1200 RSD, and my score is 4/5.

- Balea cream for reduction of thick skin on the feet - quite cheap and effective cream. Easily softens and keeps under control skin on the feet, preventing and slowing down the formation of dry and thickened skin areas. Price is only 245 RSD and my score is 4/5.

Nega kose arganovim uljem uz Stevan Still Pro Argan liniju proizvoda

Iako retko pišem o proizvodima za kosu ovaj put pravim izuzetak. Ne volim da pišem o ovim proizvodima iz prostog razloga što retko koji proizod ostavi dovoljno upečatljiv efekat na kosi, da bih mogla sa sigurnošću da ga prokomentarišem. Međutim, nova linija Stevan Still proizvoda privukla je moju pažnju, a u nastavku posta pročitajte detaljnije i zašto. Možda ste već primetili u drogerijama nove Stevan Still proizvode. Pojavile su se 3 nove StillPro linije proizvoda za kosu (argan, makadamija i keratin), a svaka sadrži šampon, balzam i masku. Ja sam rešila da probam liniju za suvu i oštećenu kosu sa arganovim uljem.

Although I rarely write about hair products, this time I'll make an exception. I don't like to write about these products for the simple reason that they rarely leave a large effect on the hair, so I can never give a certain comment on any of them. However, a new product line from Stevan Still attracted my attention, and in the following text you can read why in more detail. You may have already noticed new Stevan Still products in drug stores. There are 3 new StillPro hair product lines (argan, macadamia, and keratin), and each contains a shampoo, conditioner and a mask. I've decided to try the line for dry and damaged hair with argan oil.

Ulje argana koje se nalazi u ovoj liniji proizvoda ima dvostruko dejstvo - oblažući kosu čini je sjajnom, ali i nadoknađuje nedostatak lipida u koži glave i tako štiti kosu od isušivanja. Cela linija ima predivan i bogat miris koji me podseća na stare frizerske salone i šampone i balzame koji smo koristili kao mali. Cvetno-voćkast i veoma osvežavajući miris. Šampon iz ove linije mi se sviđa zbog toga što stvara dobru penu i lepo čisti kosu. Ja kosu šamponiram dva puta lai već pi prvom pranju šampon uspe da napravi dosta dobru penu. Balzam se nanosi nakon šampona i umasira se u kosu i kožu glave. Treba da stoji 1 minut. Malo je ređi ali i pored toga dobro zagladi moju suvu kosu i olakša rasčešljavanje.

Argan oil, which is contained in this product line has a double effect - it coats the hair making it shiny, but also compensates for the lack of lipids in the skin of the scalp and protects your hair from drying out. The whole line has the beautiful and rich fragrance that reminds me of the old hairdressing salons and shampoo and conditioners that we have used as kids. Floral, fruity and very refreshing scent. Shampoo is nice because it creates a good foam and cleans hair well. I shampoo my hair twice, and even the first shampooing has quite a lot of foam. Conditioner is applied after the shampoo and massaged into the hair and scalp. It needs to stay on for 1 minute. It's a little rarer but nevertheless it smooths my dry hair well and makes combing easier.

Masku koristim umesto balzama jednom nedeljno. Nanosi se nakon šampona kada peškirom upijemo višak vode iz kose. Na pakovanju piše da treba da odstoji na vlažnoj kosi 10-20 minuta. Iskreno, ja uglavnom nemam vremena za ovo i držim je oko 5 minuta. Međutim čak i pri ovom mom skraćenom korišćenju maske, kosa je izuzeno meka i jako se lako rasčešljava. Pri tom moram napomenuti da trenutno imam izuzetno suvu kosu, sa krajevima koje se mnogo mrse i jedva rasčešljavaju bez ovakvih proizvoda. Takođe, maska ne umasti kosu ni malo.

I use this mask once a week instead of a conditioner. It is applied after the shampoo on towel dried hair. On the packaging it says it needs to stay on damp hair for 10-20 minutes. Honestly, I usually do not have time for this, and I leave it on for about 5 minutes. However, even with this shortened period of use, my hair is noticeable soft and very easy to comb. I must note that I currently have very dry hair, with ends that get tangled a lot and I can barely comb them without these products. Also, mask won't make your hair greasy at all.

Šampon i balzam dolaze u velikom pakovanju od 500ml, sa izuzetno kvalitetno odrađenom pumpicom za doziranje. Maska dolazi u kutiji od 250ml. Sva tri proizvoda imaju istu cenu - 449 dinara. Takođe moram da prokomentarišem i sastav ovih proizvoda. Na slici ispod odozgo na dole okačila sam sastave šampona, balzama i maske. Da...šampon sadrži SLS i zato i pravi dobru penu, ali iskreno ja to volim kod šampona. Želim penu. Tako da mi ne smeta kada šamponi imaju SLS iako je u modi izbegavati ovaj sastojak. Kod balzama već drugi sastojak je glicerin, ali kao i ostali proizvodi sadrži parabene. Maska je naravno najzanimljivija sastavom, pa pored arganovog ulja i glicerina u masci takođe imamo i ricinusovo ulje i to visoko na spisku sastojaka. Međutim tu je i Paraffinum Liquidum koji se pretvara da hidrira i zaglađuje i koji ne volim.

Shampoo and conditioner come in a packaging of 500 ml, with a very well made dosing pump. The mask comes in a box of 250ml. All three products have the same price - 449 RSD. I also have to comment on the composition of these products. On the picture below from top to bottom you can see composition of shampoo, conditioner and mask. Yes ... shampoo contains SLS and that's why it makes nice foam, but honestly I like that in shampoos. I want foam. So, I do not mind when shampoos have SLS, although it is fashionable to avoid this ingredient. In conditioner the second ingredient is glycerin, but like other products it also containing parabens. The mask has, of course, the most interesting composition, and in addition to argan oil and glycerin, the mask also contains castor oil and it is high on the ingredient list. However it also contains Paraffinum Liquidum which just pretends to moisturize and smooths, and which I don't like.

Na slici ispod s leva na desno možete da vidite šampon, balzam i masku. Svi su svetle kajsija boje. Sve u svemu sastav ovih proizvoda je prilično standardan, za ovaj cenovni rang. Ipak ovi proizvodi prijaju mojoj kosi, lepo mirišu, nisu skupi i sadrže arganovo ulje, pa mi je drago da sam ih kupila i probala.

On the photo below from left to right you can see the shampoo, conditioner and mask. All are bright peachy colour. All in all, the composition of these products is pretty standard for this price range. However, my hair likes these products, they smell nice, are inexpensive and contain argan oil, so I am glad that I bought and tried them.

Still Popart Natural Line šampon - Kamilica i ricinus

Evo još jednog proizvoda koji sam dobila u saradnji sa Stevan Still kompanijom. Reč je o šamponu iz njihove Popart Natural Line linije proizvoda. Ova linija sadrži prirodne sastojke koji neguju, štite i obnavljaju kosu.

Linija se deli u tri grupe prema nameni. Pokušala sam to da prikažem na slici iznad. Dakle postoje proizvodi sa kamilicom i ricinusom (jača kosu i daje sjaj, za sve tipove kose), aloe verom i avokadom (intenzivna nega kose i kože glave, za slabu, tanku i lomljivu kosu) i medom i mlekom (hrani i regeneriše, za suvu i oštećenu kosu). Svaka grupa u sebi sadrži šampon, balzam i pakovanje za kosu. Ja sam od njih dobila šampon sa kamilicom i ricinusom.

Here is another product that I received in cooperation with Stevan Still company. It is a shampoo from their Popart Natural Line product line. This line contains natural ingredients that nourish, protect and regenerate hair.

The line is divided into three groups according to their purposes. I tried to show it in the picture above. So there are products with chamomile and castor oil (strengthens hair and gives shine, all hair types), aloe vera and avocado (intensive care for hair and scalp, for weak, thin and fragile hair) and honey and milk (nourishes and regenerates, for dry and damaged hair). Each group contains shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. They gave me a shampoo with chamomile and castor oil.

Šampon dolazi u pakovanju od 250ml i košta samo oko 99 dinara! Pakovanje nije luksuzno, ali mi je beskrajno simpatično, jer ima maleni čep na odvrtanje. Ovaj šampon miriše po meni najviše na kamilicu, ali me jako podseća na šampone iz detinjstva, kao i lepe mirise u starim frizerskim salonima. To me je potpuno oduševilo! Od otvaranja može da se koristi 6 meseci. Inače dostupan je u većim supermarketima, bar sam ga ja tu viđala.

Ima mali broj sastojaka, što mi se sviđa. Sadrži SLS ali ja iskreno volim šampone koji pene, tako da nemam nikakav problem sa ovim sastojkom. Evo ga i ceo sastav:

The shampoo comes in a bottle of 250ml and costs only about 99 RSD! The packaging is not a luxurious one, but it's endlessly charming, because it has a small opening and lid. This shampoo smells the most like chamomile, but it is very reminiscent of shampoos from my childhood, as well as the beautiful smells in the old hairdressers. That totally impressed me! It can be used for 6 months after opening. It is available in major supermarkets, at least I saw it there. 

It has a small number of ingredients, which I like. Contains SLS but I honestly love shampoos that foam, so I have no problem with this ingredient. Here's the whole ingredient list:

Šampon je providan i za nijansu ređi od prosečnog šampona. Moji utisci o ovom šamponu su vrlo pozitivni. Lepo peni i sa lakoćom čisti kosu. Nakon korišćenja kosa je škriputava, kao kad bi je prali sapunom, samo naravno šriputavost nije toliko izražena. S druge strane na dodir nije suva. Takođe mi nije ni isušio kožu glave, već je jako prijatan. Moram da napomenem da ja nemam osetljivu kožu glave. Kosa mi je farbana, tako da je malo isušena, ali uopšte nije kao slama posle pranja, što mi se često dešava kad kosu operem nekim šamponima koji nisu puni silikona. Poseća me malo na neke od dobrih litarskih šampona. Ne otežava kosu, već je ona rastresita i meka, i ne masti se ubrzano. Po meni je ovo sasvim korektan i dobar šampon, a posebno za tako malu cenu.

Volela bih da možda probam celu jednu liniju šampon, balzam i pakovanje i da vidim kakvi će tada biti rezulati. Da li ste vi probali neki od proizvoda iz Popart Natural Line linije? Kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

Šta mi se sviđa:

- cena,

- dostupnost,

- tri linije za različite vrste kose i potrebe,

- jako lepo miriše,

- dobro pere kosu i ne isušuje kožu glave ni kosu.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:

- nemam zamerke.

Shampoo is translucent and slightly rearer than the average shampoo. My impressions of this shampoo are very positive. Nicely foams and clean my hair easily. After use hair is creaking, as if it is washed with soap, just not so pronounced of course. On the other hand the hair isn't dry to the touch. Also, it didn't dry out my scalp, but it was very pleasant. I have to mention that I don't have a very sensitive scalp. My hair is coloured, so it's a bit dry, but after washing it's not like straw, which we often happens when I wash my hair with some shampoos that are not full of silicone. It reminds me a bit on some of the good liter shampoos. Doesn't make my hair heavy, but it's loose and soft, and doesn't become oily faster. For me this is a very correct and good shampoo, especially for such a low price.

I would maybe like to try a whole line of shampoo, conditioner and hair mask and see what will then be the result. Did you try some of the products from Popart Natural Line product line? What were your impressions?

What I like abot this product:
- Price,
- Availability,
- Three lines for different hair types and needs,
- Very nice smell,
- Well-washed hair and doesn't dry out my scalp or hair.

What I don't like:
- I have no objections.

Still Keratin Mask, Argan Mask & Grape Mask

Dve maske dobila sam kao PR uzorak od Stevan Still kompanije. Rešila sam da sama kupim i treću masku pa da napravim jednu grupnu recenziju. Tako da ću danas da vam predstavim sve tri maske: Keratin Mask, Argan Mask i Grape Mask.


I got two masks as a PR sample from Stevan Still company. I decided to buy the third mask and then make a group review. So today I'm going to tell you my impressions of all three masks: Keratin Mask, Argan  Mask and Grape Mask.

Generalno moram da napomenem da razlika između sve tri maske nije velika, kao što ćete moći da pročitate na slikama sa stavom. Svi sastojci su isti i tek se na samom kraju pojavljuju ovi sastojci po kojima su maske i dobile ime. 

Pakovanje je dobro, a količina u kesici od 15ml je dovoljna za celu kosu, a meni je kosa prilično dugačka. Cena ovih maski je 89 dinara. Ima ih na raznim mestima kao što su razne drogerije ili veći supermarketi. Ja sam moju kupila u Lilly-u. Sve maske bi trebalo da se nanose na vlažnu kosu  i da stoje 20 minuta. Posle toga se kosa ispere.


Generally I have to mention that the difference between all three masks isn't big, as you'll be able to read on the photos with ingredients. All the ingredients are the same and the ingredients, these masks got their names by, appears at the end of these ingredient lists.

The packaging is good, and the amount it contains is 15ml, which is sufficient for the whole hair, and my hair is pretty long. Price of these masks is 89 RSD. They can be found in some drogeries and larger supermarkets. I bought mine in Lilly. All masks should be applied to damp hair and stay for 20 minutes. After that, the hair should be rinsed.

1. Keratin Mask

Ova maska je sa keratinom i namenjena je obnavljanju i jačanju kose. Miriše kao neke tipične stvari po frizerskim salonima, sve u svemu veoma lepo i prijatno. Ova maska mi se najviše svidela. Nakon nje kosa je bila izrazito mekana i izgledala je zdravo. Meni su trenutno baš rascvetali krajevi i ovih dana idem da ih šišam, ali nakon ove maske četka je prolazila kroz kosu skoro identično kao kada se tek ošipam, pa kad četka samo ispadne iz kose na samom kraju. Potpuno neverovatno. Volela bih da probam da je koristim češće i da vidim koliko će mi negovati i štititi kosu.


This mask is with keratin and is intended for the renewal and strengthening of hair. It smells like some typical things from hairdressers, all in all very nice and pleasant. I liked this mask the most. After using it my hair was very soft and looked healthy. I currently have a lot of split ends and these days I'm going to get a hair cut, but after using this mask the brush went through my hair so easy, almost the same as after a hair cut, when the brush just falls out at the end. Completely unbelievable. I would like to try to use it more often and see how it is going to nurture and protect my hair.

2. Argan Mask

Ova maska je sa arganovim uljem i treba da kosu neguje i da joj sjaj. Kosa posle nje jeste sjajna i meka. Po mirisu i delovanju podseća me na mnoge maske u velikim pakovanjima koje sam probala i s te strane me nije nešto mnogo impresionirala. Ima i tipičan ali prijatan miris. Dejstvo joj je dobro ali nekako slabije nego kod keratisnke maske. 



This mask with argan oil should nourish and make hair shiny. After use my hair was really shiny and soft. The scent and the effects remind me of many masks in large packagings that I have already tried, so it didn't really impress me that much. It has typical but pleasant smell. The effects on my her are good but somehow weaker than with  keratin masks.

3. Grape Mask

Ovu masku sam ja kupila. Na bazi je ulja iz semenki grožđa. Namenjena je nezi i zaštiti strukture i boje kose. Veoma lepo i voćkasto miriše, ali ne previše jako. Posle ove maske kosa je isto veoma lepa, meka i sjajna. Po meni je taj efekat između efekta keratinske i arganove maske. Kod ove i argan maske krajevi nisu totalno zaglađeni, ali kosa jeste u generalno dosta boljem stanju nego bez korišćenja ovih maski.


This mask I bought. It contains grape seed oil. It is intended for care and protection of the hair structure and colour. It has very nice and fruity smell, but not too intense. After this mask my hair was also very beautiful, soft and shiny. To me, this mask has the effect somewhere between the effects of keratin and argan mask. This mask, as well as argan mask, don't make my ends totally smooth, but the hair is generally in a lot better condition than without the use of these masks.

Sve u svemu jako mi se sviđaju maske, ali mi se keratin maska nekako izdvojila. Sve bi ih rado kupila ponovo, ali ovu sa keratinom najradije. Da li ste ih vi probali i kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

Šta mi se svidelo kod ovih maski:
- cena,
- pakovanje,
- dostupnost,
- delovanje.

Šta mi se nije svidelo:
- po sastavu se ne razlikuju mnogo,
- argan i grožđe su malo slabijeg efekta.

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?

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.
