Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - Very Black

E ovo je recenzija za koju mi je drago što sam je odlagala. Maybelline Great Lash je stara i poznata Maybelline maskara. Ja sam je sada prvi put kupila i baš me je zanimalo kako će se pokazati. Neki je mnogo hvale, nekima pak nije ništa posebno. Dolazi u malecnom pakovanju ali ono sadrži 12.5ml što nikako nije malo. Košta 549 dinara. Četkica je klasična i malih dimenzija što se meni sa malim očima i još manjim trepavicama mnogo sviđa. Teško mi je da rukujem sa nekim ogromnim četkicama.

Now this is a review for which I was glad I delayed it. Maybelline Great Lash is an old and famous Maybelline mascara. This is the first time I bought it and I was curious would I like it. Some praise it a lot, however for some it's nothing special. It comes in a tiny packaging, but it contains 12.5ml which is not little. It costs 549 RSD. The brush is a classic one and it's quite small, which I like since I have small eyes and even smaller lashes. It's hard for me to use some huge brushes.

Maskaru bih svrstala u vlažnije i ređe. Kada se namaže ne daje veliki volumen, ali veoma lepo produžava trepavice i daje im divnu crnu boju. U početku mi je bilo potrebno da je pažljivo nanosim kako ne bih slepila trepavice, jer je maskare bilo dosta, a bila je vrlo tečna, čak i kada skinem višak maskare sa četkice. To mi je bilo naporno, mada je krajnji rezultat bio odličan. Nakon par meseci maskara se dovoljno prosušila da, iako je i dalje tečna, sada mogu bez ikakve muke da je savršeno nanesem bez ikakvog slepljivanja!

I would say this mascara is on the wet and rare side. When applied it doesn't give a great volume, but it nicely extends the lashes and gives them a beautiful black colour. In the beginning it was necessary to carefully apply it, so as not to stick lashes together, because there was a lot of the mascara and it was very fluid, even when I swipe off the excess mascara from the brush. It was hard to apply it, but the end result was excellent. After a few months mascara got  just dry enough so that I can effortlessly apply it perfectly without any sticking!

Ova maskara je lagana i daje srednje jak efekat na trepavicama. Ja jače od toga i ne volim, pa je za mene zaista idealna. Daje srednji volumen, ali odlično produžava i ne otežava trepavice. Na slici ispod vidite moje trepavice sa jednim i sa dva sloja. Slike su uradjene kada je maskara bila još nova, pa su dva sloja sa velikom pažnjom izvedena, a opet nisam izbegla blago slepljivanje. Srećom sada više nemam takvih problema i počela sam da obožavam ovu maskaru. U toku dana mi se nije ni malo krunila ni razlivala, a vrlo lako se skida bilo kojim sredsvom za skidanje šminke. 

This mascara is light and gives a medium strong effect on the lashes. I don't like stronger effect than that, so this is a great  mascara for me. It gives a medium volume, but elongates lashes without making them heavy. On the picture below you can see my lashes with one and two layers of this mascara. Images were made when the mascara was still new, so two layers were done with great care, and yet I didn't manage to completely avoid sticking of the lashes. Luckily I no longer have these problems and I started to love this mascara. During the day it didn't crumble or run, and it is very easy to remove it with any make-up remover.

Da li ste vi probali ovu maskaru i kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

Šta mi se sviđa kod ove maskare:
- cena,
- pakovanje,
- mala klasična četkica,
- produžava trepavice bez velikog volumena.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:
- malo slepljuje trepavice dok se ne prosuši.

Kanta Vol. 9

Od prošlog posta sa potrošenim proizvodima prošlo je dosta. Konačno se nakupilo dovoljno proizvoda da mogu da ih slikam i pobacam. Sreća, sreća radost! Prelazim odmah na stvar:

- L'Oreal Ideal Soft mleko za skidanje šminke - baš mi se svidelo. Nežno i lako je skidalo svu šminku sa lica. Detaljnije pogledajte u ovom postu. Pakovanje od 200ml košta 499 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Freeman maska sa limunom i mentom - potpuno fenomenalna maska za masnokošce. Trajala mi je sto godina. Obožavam je. Detalje pogledajte u ovom postu. Tuba od 150ml košta 610.2 dinara. Ocena 5/5.


Since the last post with spent products a lot of time has passed. I finally accumulated enough products to be able to take some photos and through them away. Happiness, happiness, joy! I move right to the point: 

- L'Oreal Ideal Soft cleansing milk - I liked it. Gently and easily removes all the makeup from your face. Details can be found in this post. Packaging of 200ml costs 499 RSD. Score 4/5. 
- Freeman mask with lemon and mint - totally awesome mask for oily skin. It lasted me a hundred years. I love it. For details, see this post. 150ml tube costs 610.2 RSD. Score 5/5.

- Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying piling za telo - fenomenalan malo jači piling za telo sa mineralima Mrtvog mora. Kupila sam ga zbog oduševljenja Marije (Head In The Clouds) i nisam se pokajala. Pakovanje od 200ml košta 780 dinara, mada je često snižen. Ocena 5/5.

- Balea mleko za pod tušem - vrlo dobro i hranljivo mleko sa odličnim sastavom. Nije dovoljno jako za osobe sa suvom kožom ali za sve ostale biće dovoljno i učiniće kožu mekom i nahranjenom. Pakovanje od 400ml košta 365 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Multiaktiv svetlucavo mleko za telo - dobro hidrira, možda nije baš za suvu kožu. Lagano i brzo se upija. Sadrži veoma driskretan šimer, koji kožu čini da blago svetluca. Odlično mleko za leto. Pakovanje je od 200ml. Cenu ne znam trenutno ali nije skupo. Ocena 4/5.


- Avon Planet Spa Perfectly Purifying Body Scrub - a phenomenal stronger body scrub with Dead Sea minerals. I bought it because of the enthusiasm of Marija (Head In The Clouds), and I didn't regret it. Packaging of 200ml costs 780 RSD, although the price is often reduced. Score 5/5. 
- Balea in shower body milk - very good and nourishing milk with excellent ingredients. It won't be enough for people with dry skin, but for everyone else it will be enough and will make your skin soft and nourished. Packaging of 400ml costs 365 RSD. Score 4/5. 
- Multiaktiv shimmering body milk - hydrates well, maybe not enough for dry skin. Gently and quickly absorbed. Contains very discrete shimmer, which makes the skin shimmer slightly. Great body milk for summer. Packaging contains 200ml. I don't know the current price, but it's not expensive. Score 4/5.

- Freeman Pssssst! šampon za suvo pranje kose - jedan od boljih šampona za suvo pranje kose koji sam probala. Pakovanje je malo i dobro za nošenje sa sobom. Detalje pogledajte ovde. Pakovanje ima 50g i košta 299.45 dinara. Ocena 5/5.

- Octenisept antiseptik - namerno sam ga stavila u ovaj post, da bih ponovo naglasila koliko obožavam ovaj sprej. Dezinfikuje sve od ogrebotina do bubuljica, a pogodan je i za prskanje na sluzokožu, u usta ili za vaginalnu primenu. Postoji i veće pakovanje. Ovo manje pakovanje od 50ml košta oko 350 dinara. Ocena je naravno 5/5.

- Lancome Tresor parfem - ovaj parfem sam dobila i mnogo mi se svideo. Ima  cvjetno-orijentalni miris, a u sebi sadrži finu kombinaciju ruže, jorgovana, latica cvijeta kajsije, heliotropa i irisa. Srednje ozbiljan. Nekako pogodan za sve uzraste, a i godišnja doba. Ova bočica od 30ml košta 6990 dinara. Moja ocena je 4/5.


- Freeman Pssssst! dry shampoo - one of the best dry shampoos I've ever tasted. The packaging is small and is good to carry with you. For details, see this post. Packaging has 50g and costs 299.45 RSD. Score 5/5. 
- Octenisept antiseptic - I deliberately put it in this post, so I can re-emphasize how much I love this spray. Disinfects everything from scratches to pimples, and it is also suitable for spraying on the mucous membranes in the mouth or vaginal application. There is also a larger packaging. This smaller packaging of 50ml cost about 350 RSD. Score is of course 5/5. 
- Lancome Tresor perfume - perfume that I got as a present and enjoyed a lot. It has a floral-oriental fragrance, and contains a fine combination of rose, lilac, peach flower petals, heliotrope and iris. The scent is medium serious. Somehow, suitable for all ages and seasons. This bottle of 30ml costs 6990 RSD. My score is 4/5.

I za kraj dva proizvoda za oči:

- Alverde okoloočna krema sa vidcom i aloe verom - solidna okoloočna krema, lepo hidrira i neguje, mada me nije baš oduševila. Detalje pročitajte u ovom postu. Tuba sadrži 15ml i košta 539 dinara. Ocena 4/5.

- Flormar Perfect Coverage korektor - solidan korektor koji dobro prekriva i ne uvlači se u borice oko oka. Na kraju kada se već malo prosušio lepio se za suvlje delove kože. Detalje pročitajte ovde. Sadrži 5ml i košta 509 dinara. Ocena 5/5.


In the end, the two products for the eyes:
- Alverde Eye Cream with eyebright and aloe vera - pretty good eye cream that moisturizes and nourishes well, although I wasn't exactly thrilled with it. Read the details in this post. Tube contains 15ml and costs 539 RSD. Score 4/5. 
- Flormar Perfect Coverage Concealer - nice concealer that covers well and doesn't accumulate in fine lines around the eye. At the end when it got a little dry it started sticking a bit to the drier parts of the skin. Read the details here. Contains 5ml and costs 509 RSD. Score 5/5.

I to bi bilo to u ovoj turi. A sad idem da sve pobacam! Da li ste vi probali neki od ovih proizvoda i kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

And that's all this time. Now I can through all of this away! Have you tried some of these products and what were your impressions?

Freeman Body Sugar Scrub - Pomegranate

Ljubav prema Freeman maskama za lice polako se proširila i na razne proizvode za telo. Tester pilinga od nara dobila sam prilikom jedne kupovine i potpuno se zaljubila u miris ovog pilinga....naravno morala sam da ga kupim. Piling miriše na neke žvake koje sam jela kada sam bila mala. Podseća na nar, ali je generalno sladak i jako prijatan, a zadržava se i na koži.

Love of Freeman face masks slowly spread to a variety of body products. With one of my purchases I got a tester for pomegranate body scrub and I completely fell in love with the smell of the scrub .... of course I had to buy it. Scrub smells like some sweet gum that I ate when I was a kid. Reminiscent of a pomegranate, but it is generally very sweet and fragrant, and it also stays a bit on the skin.

Piling dolazi u standardnom Freeman pakovanju - tubi od 150ml. Kupila sam ga preko Kozmetika Teatra po ceni od 593.25 dinara. U pitanju je šećerni piling, pa mu je i tekstura gusta i šećerna. Svrstala bih ga u pilinge srednje jačine, pošto šećer radi zaista vrlo dobar piling, ali se prilično brzo istopi, pa se sa ovim pilingom ne može uraditi neki jači piling. Pogodan je za često korišćenje, ako želite meku kožu i potpun mirisni ugođaj tokom tuširanja.

Piling comes in a standard Freeman packaging - 150ml tube. I bought it from Kozmetika Teatar for a price of 593.25 RSD. It is a sugar scrub, so it has a dense sugary texture. I would classify it in the moderate scrubs, because even though sugar does a very good scrub, it melts pretty quickly, so you  won't be able to do a stronger exfoliation with it. Suitable for frequent use, if you want soft skin and a complete fragrant atmosphere in the shower.

Sastav/Ingredients:
Sucrose, Propylene Glycol, Punica Granatum Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Carbomer, Fragrance (Parfum), Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol.

Na slikama pogledajte teksturu pilinga. Pilingom sam jako zadovoljna, mada bih lično volela da šećer malo duže traje pre nego što se istopi. Ali u tome ima udela i koliko toplom vodom se tušitare ... ako napravite saunu u kupatilu ... brzo će se otopiti. Da li ste vi probali ovaj piling i kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

On the pictures you can see the texture of the scrub. I'm very pleased with it, although I would personally like that sugar endures is a little bit longer before it melts. But it also depends on how hot the water is when you shower ... if you make a sauna in the bathroom ... it will melt quickly. Have you tried this scrub and what were your impressions?

Šta mi se sviđa kod ovog pilinga:
- pakovanje,
- cena,
- miris,
- radi piling srednje jačine.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:
- šećer se topi brže nego što bih ja volela.

Aura Dragan Vurdelja Gel Eyeliner - promocija

U sredu, 7.5. Aura je održala prezentaciju novog proizvoda - gel ajlajnera napravljenog u saradnji sa Draganom Vurdeljom. Promocija je održana u predivnom novom hotelu Square 9.

On Wednesday, 7.5. Aura has organized a presentation of a new product - gel eyeliner produced in collaboration with Dragan Vurdelja. Promotion was held in the beautiful new Square 9  hotel.

Na sledećoj, doduše malo tamnoj slici, vidite delić atmosfere pre nego što su zvanice stigle. Bilo je baš dosta ljudi, a cela atmosfera je bila nekako luksuzna, ali ipak prilično opuštena. Uz zanimljivu hranu i predivan šampanjac predstavljen nam je novi gel ajlajner.

In the following, albeit a little dark photo, you can see a fraction of the atmosphere before guests arrived. There were a lot of people, and the whole atmosphere was kind of luxurious, but still pretty relaxed. With interesting food and wonderful champagne Aura launched their new gel eyeliner.

Na kraju su šminkeri koristeći novi ajlajner našminkali nekoliko devojaka i predstavili nekoliko stilova nanošenja ajlajnera - od tanke linije duž trepavica, pa do potpuno obojenog kapka.


At the end of the presentation make-up artists showed a few different ways to use this new gel eyeliner - from the thin line along the lashes, to fully colored lid.

Moj favorit je naravno linija duž trepavica, tako da sam slikala devojku koju su tako našminkali. Iskreno se radujem isprobavanju ovog ajlajnera.

My favorite is of course just a line along the upper lashes, so I took a photo of the girl who had that type of eyeliner on. I am sincerely looking forward to trying out this eyeliner.

Za mene je ova prezentacija bila posebna i na ličnom nivou. Konačno sam upoznala Jasminu koja vodi blog Makeup Arena, koji svi verovatno znate ako pratite više blogova.

For me this was a special presentation on a personal level. I finally got to meet in person Jasmina from Makeup Arena blog, which you probably know if you follow more beauty blogs.

Na kraju prezentacije dobili smo i novi ajlajner, koji dolazi u kutijici u kojoj je malena teglica i četkica. Pored toga dobili smo i flašu vina na kom isto piše Aura, što me je potpuno iznenadilo. Jedva čekam da ga probam! Toliko od mene, a uskoro stižu i utisci o novom Aura gel ajlajneru.

At the end of the presentation we got a new eyeliner that comes in a box in which is a small jar and a brush. In addition, we also received a bottle of wine with Aura written on the label, which came as a real surprise to me. I cannot wait to try it! So much from me this time, and I'll soon write about my impressions about the new Aura gel eyeliner.

Guam anticelulit blato

Guam je brend koji dolazi iz Italije i koji u proizvodima sadrži ekstrakt alge marine, koja ubrzava metabolizam, uz sicilijansku glinu i biljne sastojke. Poznati su po anticelulit proizvodima sa ovim algama, međutim pored ovoga oni proizvode i razne proizvode za lice, telo i kosu. Guam anticelulit blato je proizvod za koji znam odavno i koji sam dugo planirala da probam. Blato dolazi u velikim pakovanjima, ali sam ja u Metropolitenu dobila ove kesice, da mogu da blato isprobam. 

Guam is a brand that comes from Italy and their product contain extract of marine algae, which speeds up the metabolism, together with Sicilian clay and herbal ingredients. They are known for their anti-cellulite products with the algae, but in addition to this they produce various products for the face, body and hair. Guam anti-cellulite mud is a product that I have known about for a long time and that I have long planned to try. Mud comes in big packagings, but I got these little bags in Metropoliten perfumery, so I can try it.

Rešila sam da probam i uporedim dva tipa blata - original i sa ubrzanim delovanjem. Oba blata podstiču razmenu materija. Glina upija toksine i masnoće iz organizma, a umesto njih, telu predaje mineralne soli.  S druge strane alge ubrzavaju metabolizam na mestima gde se blato nanese. Oba blata imaju identičan miris - na more, alge i glinu. Takođe imaju i istu teksturu gline i zelene su boje. 

I decided to try and compare the two types of mud - original and with rapid action. Both mud types stimulate metabolism. Clay absorbs fat and toxins from the body, and instead gives the body mineral salts. On the other hand, algae accelerate the metabolism on the places where the mud is applied. Both have the same smell of mud, sea algae and clay. They have the same texture of clay and have green colour.

Blato se nanosi svaki treći dan. Nakon desetak tretmana pravi se pauza od 20 dana. Originalno blato treba da se drži na koži 45 minuta. Nakon nanošenja blata, noge zamotam u providnu foliju. Dolazi u metalik kesici od 75 ml. Ja sam blato nanosila na zadnjicu i zadnji deo butina i u kesici ima i više nego dovoljno da se blato nanese dva puta. 

Blato se prodaje u teglama od dve dimenzije:

- 500g (za 5-6 tretmana), 4740 dinara,

- 1kg (za 10-12 tretmana), 8370 dinara.

Evo ga i sastav:

The mud is applied every three days. After ten treatments a break of 20 days needs to be made. Original mud should be kept on the skin for 45 minutes. After applying the mud, I wrapped my legs in a plastic foil. It comes in a metallic bag of 75 ml. I applied mud on the buttocks and back of the thighs and the bag had more than enough mud to use it twice. 

Mud is sold in jars of two dimensions: 

- 500g (5-6 treatments), 4740 RSD, 

- 1kg (10-12 treatments), 8370 RSD. 

Here's the ingredient list:

Blato sa ubrzanim delovanjem dolazi u kesici sa crvenom nalepnicom, a kesa sadrži 100g blata. I ova kesa je dovoljna za dva nanošenja. Blato sa ubrzanim delovanjem potrebno je držati samo 15 minuta. Evo ga i sastav ovog blata, koji je skoro isti kao kod originalnog blata:

Mud with accelerated action comes in the bag with a red label, and the bag contains 100g of mud. The bag is sufficient for two applications. Mud with rapid action should be kept on the skin only for 15 minutes. Here are the ingredients, which are almost the same as for the original mud:

Oba blata izazivaju sličan osećaj peckanja na koži. Blato ne zagreva, već samo pecka i pomalo svrbi ali ništa što je teško izdržati. Meni se ova dva blata čine prilično isto, tako da je ovo blato sa ubrzanim delovanjem pogodnije za osobe koje ne žele 45 minuta da sede umotane u celofan. Primetila sam da mi se koža blago zacrvenela nakon 45 minuta sa originalnim blatom, dok se to nije desilo sa ubrzanom formulom.

Blato sa ubrzanim delovanjem se prodaje u teglama od dve dimenzije:

- 300g (za 3-5 tretmana), 2417 dinara,

- 1kg (za 13-15 tretmana), 7650 dinara.


After applying them on my skin both muds caused a similar tingling sensation on the skin. Mud doesn't heat up the skin, but only makes it tingle and itch a little, but nothing that is difficult to endure. Both muds look pretty similar to me, so the mud with the rapid action is better suited for people who do not want to sit for 45 minutes wrapped in cellophane. I noticed that my skin got slightly red after 45 minutes with the original mud, but that didn't happen with the accelerated formula. 
Mud with rapid action is sold in jars of two dimensions: 
- 300g (3-5 treatments), 2417 RSD, 
- 1kg (for 13-15 treatments), 7650 RSD.

Nakon što blato odstoji na koži potrebno je isprati ga vodom. Nakon nanošenja koža mi je bila nekako glatka i zategnuta, a celulit manje vidljiv. Realan uticaj na celulit ne mogu mnogo da komentarišem, nakon korišćenja samo ove dve kesice. Ovo blato bi trebalo da celulit izvuče na površinu i pomogne da uz masažu, ishranu i vežbanje on lakše nestane. Blato nije namenjeno koži koja je osetljiva i ima proširene vene i kapilare, a ne preporučuje se ni u trudnoći i za vreme dojenja.

Šta mi se sviđa kod ovog blata:
- prijatno za korišćenje, samo malo pecka,
- lepo zateže kožu i ubrzava uklanjanje celulita.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:
- cena,
- mora dugo da se drži na koži,
- nije pogodno za osobe sa proširenim venama i kapilarima.

After the mud sits on the skin it should be rinsed with water. After application, my skin was smooth and tight, and cellulite was less visible. I cannot comment on the real impact on cellulite, after using just these two bags. This mud should help you get rid of the cellulite together with massage, diet and exercises. Mud is not intended for skin that is sensitive and has varicose veins and capillaries, and also in pregnancy and during breastfeeding. 

What I like about this mud: 
- Pleasant to use, just tingles a little, 
- Tightens the skin well and speeds up the removal of cellulite. 

What I don't like: 
- Price,
- Needs to stay long on the skin, 
- Not suitable for people with varicose veins, and capillaries.

Avon Planet Spa Heavenly Hydration Facial Oil

Pre nekoliko meseci videla sam u Avon katalogu i ovo ulje za lice. Deo je moje omiljene Planet Spa kolekcije i to linije Heavenly Hydration koja sadrži maslinovo ulje. Bočica me je odmah privukla, a i činjenica da do sad nisam koristila ni jedno ulje za lice, pa me je jako zanimalo kako će moja koža reagovati.

A few months ago I saw a face oil in the Avon catalog. It was a part of my favorite Planet Spa collection and Heavenly Hydration line which contains olive oil. The bottle immediately attracted me. Also up to now I haven't used a single facial oil, so I was curious of how my skin would react.

Ulje dolazi u lepoj i čvrstoj kartonskoj kutiji u kojoj je staklena bočica sa pipetom. Pakovanju sadrži 30ml. Bočica zgleda luksuzno, a pipeta vrlo lako dozira ulje. Glavni sastojak ovog ulja je zapravo susamovo ulje, mada sadrži i maslinovo ulje. Pogledajte sastav:

Oil comes in a nice and solid cardboard box and inside is a glass bottle with pipette. The packaging contains 30ml. Bottle looks luxurious and pipette doses oil easily. The main ingredient is actually sesame oil, but it also contains olive oil. Look at the ingredients:

Ulje ima vrlo blag i prijatan biljni miris. Retko je i žućkaste boje. Ja sam ga platila 399 dinara, mada kao i uvek cene variraju u zavisnosti od kataloga (puna cena je 630 dinara).

Oil has a very mild and pleasant herbal scent. It is rare and has a yellowish color. I paid 399 RSD for it, but as always, prices depend on the catalog (full price is 630 RSD).

Ulje nanosim uveče, umesto noćne kreme. Najbolje mi se pokazalo da ga nanosim na nekoliko dana, a ne svaki dan, jer moja koža nije suva niti dehidrirana. Nikada mi nije izazvalo nikakve probleme na licu. Oko pola pipete mi je dovoljno za celo lice. Ulje je srednje masno i prilično se brzo upija, mada koža ostane malo masna uvek. Meni to nije problem jer svakako idem na spavanje. 

I apply it in the evening instead of night cream. I found it best to apply it every few days instead of every day, because my skin isn't dry or dehydrated. It never caused any problems to my face. About half of the pipette is enough for the whole face. Oil is a medium greasy and is absorbed fairly quickly, but the skin remains slightly oily always. That's not a problem for me, because I'm going to bed.

Najbitnije je da mi je koža ujutru jako meka, elastična i nahranjena. Ovo ulje malo bolje hrani kožu od svih noćnih krema koje sam u poslednje vreme koristila. Zaista je vrlo dobro, a moguće da bi na suvoj koži imalo i bolji efekat.

The most important thing is that my skin is very soft  in the morning, supple and nourished. This oil nourishes the skin a little better than all the night creams I have recently used. It is really very good, and it is possible that it would even have a better effect on the dry skin.

Evo kako izgleda na koži:

Here's how it looks on the skin:

Meni se efekat na koži koji ovo ulje proizvodi veoma svideo, posebno u toku zime kada mi je koža zahtevala više hidratacije. Da li ste ga vi probali? Koje ulje vi volite da koristite za lice? A koje vam se pokazalo kao loše?

Šta mi se sviđa kod ovog ulja:
- cena,
- pakovanje,
- doziranje,
- ne izaziva probleme na koži,
- dobro hrani.

Šta mi se ne sviđa:
- nemam zamerke.

My Little Beauty Helpers

Rešila sam da napišem jedan grupni post o nekim stvarčicama koje svakodnevno koristim i koje mnogo volim. Ovo je dakle priča o nekim malim pomoćnicima u svakodnevnoj beauty rutini.

1. Macadamia NoTangle četka

Ovo je jedna od onih četki koje ne čupaju kosu i kad je ova četka u pitanju to je potpuno tačno. Fenomenalno i jako lako rasčešljava kosu bez ikakvog čupanja i oštećivanja dlake. Od kad je imam ne mogu da zamislim da se češljam običnom četkom. Ima i lepu dršku, mada je oblik drške malo bolji za dešnjake.

I decided to write a post about some stuff I use every day and that I love very much. Therefore, this is a story about some little helpers in my everyday beauty routine. 

1. Macadamia NoNangle brush 
This is one of those brushes that don't pull your hair and when it comes to this brush that's absolutely true. It's awesome and easily detangles hair without pulling and damaging the hair. Since I bought it I cannot imagine combing with a regular brush again. It has a nice handle, although the shape of the handle a little better for right-handed people.

Četka košta 750 dinara u Alexandar Cosmetics-u.


Brush cost 750 RSD in Alexandar Cosmetics.

2. Sephora Blemish Extractor

Odlična stvar za vađenje mitisera ili za bubuljice. Ima dva kraja jedan sa širom površinom kojom pritiskate oko mitisera  i koja bi trebalo prva da se koristi, i drugu užu. Ovo je dobra stvar jer na ovaj način koža oko mesta koje se cedi trpi manji pritisak i brže će se smiriti. Naravno najbolji rezultati dobijaju se ako naparite lice i otvorite pore ili nakon pilinga.

2. Sephora Blemish Extractor
A great thing for the extraction of blackheads or pimples. There are two ends, one with the wider area which presses around a blackhead and that should be used first, and the narrower one. This is a good thing because in this way the skin around the blemish suffer less stress and heals faster. Of course, the best results are obtained if you open pores by steam or after peeling.

Cena ovog metalnog štapića je 820 dinara.


The price of this little metal rod is 820 RSD.

3. Sephora pinceta

Ova pinceta razlikuje se od većine koju sam imala priliku da koristim iz nekoliko razloga. Pinceta na sebi ima malu sijalicu koja osvetljava kožu u pravcu vrha pincete, kako bi se i najmanje dlačice videle. Pinceta je plastična ali su joj vrhovi kojima se dlačica čupa metalni. Kada se pinceta pritisne metalni delovi se spoje ali se i uvuku i sami povuku i izvade dlačicu. U početku potrebno je malo navikavanja, ali vrlo brzo se ulazi u štos.

3. Sephora tweezers
These tweezers are different than most I've had the opportunity to use for a number of reasons. Tweezers have a little light that illuminates the skin towards the tip of the tweezers, so the smallest hairs can be seen. Tweezers are plastic but the end which pulls out hair is metal. When tweezers are pressed metal parts come together, but also pull in, so this pulls out hair. At first it takes a little getting used to, but you quickly get the hang of it.

Pinceta se može kupiti u Sephori po ceni od 1790 dinara.


Tweezers can be purchased at Sephora for the price of 1790 RSD.

4. Sephora četka za umivanje

I još jedna divna stvar koju sam kupila u Sephori - četka za umivanje. Kupila sam je odavno. Četka inače ima i poklopac ali on mi se odavno polomio. Mnogo volim da se umivam ovom četkom jer ona radi blag piling i mnogo bolje uklanja nečistoće, nego kada se umivam samo rukama. Bez nje ne mogu da zamislim svaki dan. Cena ove četke je 590 dinara.

4. Sephora face brush 
And another great thing that I bought at Sephora - face brush. I bought it a long time ago. Brush has a cap but mine is long broken. I love to wash my face using this brush because it does gentle exfoliation and is better to remove impurities than when I wash my face by hand only. I cannot imagine every day without it. The price of this brush is 590 RSD.

5. Octenisept vaginalni aplikator

Octenisept je antiseptik koji se može prskati svuda, dakle i po koži ali i na sluznice. Od kada sam ga prvi put kupila ne ostajem bez njega nikad. Međutim ono o čemu zapravo želim da pričam je plastični nastavak koji se montira na prskalicu i koji omogućava vaginalnu aplikaciju spreja. Na taj način mogu da spečim neke infekcije i pobijem gamad kada mi se učini da kreću da se množe. Odlična stvar za sprečavanje većih upala.

5. Octenisept vaginal applicator
Octenisept is an antiseptic which can be sprayed everywhere, on the skin and on the mucous membranes. From the time when I first purchased it, I have never stayed without it. But what I really want to talk about is the plastic that attaches to the nozzle and allows vaginal application of the spray. That way I can prevent an infection and kill all kinds of vermin that starts multiplying. A great thing to prevent major infections. 

Pre aplikacije potrebno je jednom prsnuti spej kako bi on izašao kroz rupice na aplikatoru i razmazati sprej po aplikatoru. Na taj način su i unutrašnjost i spoljašnjost dezinfikovane. Nakon aplikacije operem ga pod mlazom vode i prsnem još jednom da bih ponovo dezinfikovala aplikator. Takođe bitno je da se čuva na mestu gde tečnost sa aplikatora može da ispari kako se bakterije ne bi razmnožavale na njemu. Kupuje se u bolje opremljenim apotekama, ali moram da priznam da sam ga ja jedva našla. Platila sam ga 884 dinara. Sam sprej u ovoj manjoj bočici je oko 350 dinara.

Prior to the application you need a press the nozzle ones, so the spray goes through the holes in the applicator and then I spread it over the applicator. In this way, the interior and exterior are disinfected. After application I wash it under water and press once again to disinfect the applicator again. Also it is important to keep it in a place where liquid from the applicator can evaporate so the bacteria cannot multiply on it. It can be purchased in better-equipped pharmacies, but I have to admit that I could hardly found it anywhere. I paid 884 RSD for it. The spray in this smaller bottle is around 350 RSD.

6. Papirići za matiranje

Kao osoba sa mešovitom kožom ja ne mogu da živim bez papirića za matiranje. Ovaj put slikala sam Essence papiriće (269 dinara) koji imaju odlično pakovanje na izvlačenje. Mada često kupujem i Aura papiriće jer su najjeftiniji. Skuplje varijante su Sephora, Inglot, a mislim da i Flormar sada ima papiriće, mada ne znam po kojoj ceni. Naravno tu je i Nyx koji ima nekoliko varijanti ovih papirića. U svakom slučaju odlična stvar za uklanjanje viška sebuma u toku dana.

6. Blotting papers 
As a person with mixed skin I cannot live without blotting papers. This time I took pictures of Essence oil control papers (269 RSD) that have a great packaging. Although I often buy Aura papers because they are the cheapest. The more expensive versions are Sephora, Inglot, and I think Flormar now has them, but I don't know at what price. Of course there are also several different Nyx blotting papers. In any case, a good thing for the removal of excess sebum produced during the day.

I to su bili neki pomoćnici koji su samnom svaki dan. Da li vi koristite nešto od ovoga? Imate li još neke pomoćnike bez kojih ne možete, a koje možete da mi preporučite?

And those were some of the helpers which are with me every day. Do you use any of these? Any other thing that you can't live without and that you can recommend?
