Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes

U ovom postu pišem o jednom od proizvoda koji mi je dugo bio na Wish List-i konačno se našao u mojim rukama. Možda ste primetile da mnoge blogerke imaju čudnu vrstu opsesije prema okoloočnim kremama, a među njima sam svakako i ja. Ne znam zašto je to tako, ove kreme su najblaže kreme koje postoje i retko kad imaju neke revolucionarne efekte. Moje područje oka nije previše zahtevno ali ako neka krema uspe da dobro hidrira moju kožu, a uz to smanji nadutost ima veliki plus od mene. U ovom postu predstaviću vam  Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes - poseban serum za regiju oka koji neguje kožu ali i trepavice. Za razliku od klasičnih okoloočnih krema koje se mažu ispod oka, ovaj serum se maže i preko kapaka i trepavica. 

In this post I will write about one of the products that was long on my Wish List, and that is now finally in my hands. You might have noticed that many bloggers have a strange kind of obsession towards eye creams and I am definitely one of them. I do not know why this happens, since these creams are very mild and rarely have any revolutionary effect. My eye area is not too demanding, but if some cream succeeds in hydrating my skin, and also reduce puffiness it has a huge plus from me. In this post I will present you Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Eyes & Lashes - special serum for the eye region, which nourishes the skin but also lashes. Unlike conventional eye creams which should be applied under the eye, this serum should be applied over the eyelids and eyelashes, too.

Ovaj serum sadrži 10% ramnoze, aktivnog anti-age sastojka biljnog porekla, koji obnavlja kožu. Takođe sadrži i reflektujuće čestice koji vizuelno čine ovu regiju svetlijom. Takođe tu su i ceramidi sa antinflamatornim svojstvima koji neguju i regenerišu trepavice. Formula ovog seruma je hipoalergena, bez parabena, i obogaćena Vichy termalnom vodom. Serum obećava trenutno svetliju regiju, zategnutije bore i gušće trepavice iz dana u dan. Serum se preporučuje osobama starijim od 35 godina (ja nisam još uvek u toj grupi ali i to će brzo doći).

This serum contains 10% rhamnose, active anti-aging ingredient of vegetable origin, which regenerates the skin. It also contains reflective particles that visually make this region brighter. Also there are ceramides with anti-inflammatory properties that nourish and regenerate the eyelashes. The formula of this serum is hypoallergenic, paraben-free and enriched with Vichy thermal water. Serum promises a brighter region, tighter lines and thicker eyelashes with every passing day. Serum is recommended for people older than 35 years (I'm not in this group yet, but I will be soon enough).

Serum dolazi metalnoj bočici sa pumpicom. Sadrži 15ml i košta 3735 dinara (na žalost). Serum je redak i bele boje, a presijava se kao biser. Nema nikakav miris. Pakovanje mi se mnogo sviđa a pimpica savršeno dozira serum. Jedan pritisak na pumpicu istisnuće serum veličine zrna pirinča što je taman dovoljno za oba oka. Serum ima vodenu teksturu, veoma brzo se upija i ne ostavlja nikakav lepljivi film koji se oseća na koži.

Serum comes in a metal bottle with a pump dispenser. Contains 15ml and costs 3735 RSD (unfortunately). Serum is rare and white, and has pearly shine. It has no scent. Packaging is great and pump perfectly doses serum. One touch of the pump will give you serum the size of a rice grain, which is just enough for both eyes. The serum has a watery texture, is very quickly absorbed and does not leave a sticky film that can be felt on the skin.

A sada ono glavno - efekti. Kao prvo posvetljivanje regije reflektujućim česticama nisam uopšte primetila. Ipak koža izgleda lepo i nahranjeno. U ovoj regiji nemam mnogo bora pa efekti zatezanja nisu mogli da se vide dovoljno. Ali primecujem da koža izgleda lepo i čvrsto, a takođe mi se i jutarnja nadutost brže povlači. 

Now for the main part - the effects. Firstly I didn't notice that my eye region is brighter due to reflective particles. Yet skin looks nice and supple. I do not have a lot of wrinkles in this region, so tightening effects could not be seen very well. But I have notice that skin looks nice and firm. Also, morning puffiness disappears faster.

Što se trepavica tiče moje su kratke i ravne, pa sam se zato posebno ponadala da ću ovim serumom moći malo da ih popravim. Nakon skoro cele potrošene bočice i više meseci korišćenja moram da priznam da su mi trepavice gušće! To se posebno vidi na jednom delu gde su mi trepavice uvek bile nekako jadne, kao da imam razdeljak na trepavicama. Tog dela više skoro uopšte nema. Trepavice mi nisu duže, barem ne vidno, ali sve ovo malo zavisi i od genetike. Generalno sam zadovoljna efektima, jer nisam očekivala da će biti toliki da mogu lako da ih primetim.

My lashes are short and straight, and I was therefore particularly hoping that this little serum will be able to fix this. After almost a whole bottle and several months of use I have to admit that my eyelashes are thicker! This is especially evident in one part where my eyelashes have always been kind of miserable, as if I had a hole in my lashes. This part is almost non existent now. Eyelashes are not longer, at least not visibly, but this all depends on genetics, too. Generally I am quite satisfied with the effects, because I did not expect them to be so easily noticeable.

Za kraj pogledajte kako serum izgleda:

For the end I want to show you how this serum looks like:

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.

Aura Velvet Matte Pressed Powder - 316 Medium Beige

Puder za matiranje je najbolji prijatelj masnokožaca. Ako ste vlasnik ovog tipa kože sigurno dobro znate o čemu pričam. Poslednji koji sam rešila da probam dolazi nam od Aure i reč je o Velvet Matte Pressed Powder-u. Ovaj puder može se naći u 6 nijansi, a cena mu je 629 dinara.

Mattifying powder is oily skin's best friend. If you have this type of skin you certainly know very well what I'm talking about. The last powder I decided to try comes from Aura and this is Velvet Matte Pressed Powder. This powder is available in 6 shades, a costs 629 RSD.

Nijansa koju sam ja kupila je 316 Medium Beige. Od ove nijanse postoji još samo jedna tamnija nijansa, mada realno ni ova nijansa nije pretamna, posebno sada za leto. Ipak naravno nije za one sa vrlo svetlom puti. Pakovanje sadrži 10g. Plastično je i srednje je čvrstine. Dobra strana ovog pudera je što ispod samog pudera postoji pregrada u kojoj se nalazi sunđerčić i ogledalo.

The shade I bought is 316 Medium Beige. There is only one darker shade, although my shade is still not too dark, especially during summer. Of course it is not for those with a very light skin. Packaging contains 10g. It is plastic and of medium firmness. The good thing about this powder is that beneath it there is another compartment with a sponge applicator and a mirror.

Puder je malo krupnije mleven i jako se kruni. Uopšte nije kompatibilan sa četkicama, čak i onim najmekšim. Ako ga nanosite četkicom kupite ga veoma blagim pritiskom četkice na puder, kako se ne bi previše krunio. Puder se zaprvo najbolje slaže upravo sa sunđerčićem koji se uz njega dobija. Kada se koristi sunđer, puder se ne kruni, a dobra količina pudera se sunđerom pokupi.

Powder is a little bit bigger grounded and crumbles a lot. Is not compatible with brushes, even the softest ones. If you apply it with a brush a very slight pressure of the brush will be needed if you want to avoid crumbling. Powder is the best if you apply it with its sponge applicator. When you use the sponge, it does not crumble and a good amount of powder is picked up.

Puder ima srednje prekrivanje. Dakle na koži će se videti, pa je bitno uložiti napor za odabir prave nijanse. Ako se nanosi četkicom može da bude malo brašnjav na licu, dok je sa sunđerčićem to mnogo blaže. Matiranje je srednje, kod mene (posebno leti) potreba za ponovnim matiranjem javlja se posle 2 do 3 sata. Puder se ne pomera sa lica niti nagomilava u boricama. Na koži mi nije izazvao nikakve probleme.

Powder has a medium coverage. So it will be visible on the skin, and it is important to make an effort to select the right shade. If applied with a brush it can be a little floury on the face, while with the sponge this is much milder. Mattification is medium, in my case (especially in summer) the need to reapply it occurs after 2 to 3 hours. Powder does not move from the face nor accumulates in wrinkles. On the skin it did not cause any problems.

Najveća mana ovog pudera je što se previše kruni. Takođe nije dobar za nošenje sa sobom. Meni se skroz izlomio posle par nedelja, dok je još bio prilično nov. Generalno puder je osrednji i mnogo me je razočarao, s obzirom da Auru mnogo volim. Mislim da je Aura sa ovim puderom na dobrom tragu, ali da moraju poraditi na formuli. Šta vi mislite o ovom puderu ako ste ga koristile?

The biggest drawback of this powder is that it crumbles a lot. It is also not good to take it with you. It completely broke after a few weeks, while it was still fairly new. Overall powder is mediocre and I was disappointed with it, given that I like Aura a lot. I think the Aura is on the right track, but they have to work on the formula. What do you think about this powder if you have used it?

BaByliss Paris Event

U četvrtak 26.5. održala se promocija novog brenda na našem tržištu - BaByliss Paris. Iako mi je ime ovog brenda bilo poznato, moram priznati da o njemu nisam mnogo znala. Ono što me je iznenadilo je da je ovo zapravo jedan od dominantnih brendova u Evropi, koji proizvodi aparate za negu za kućnu upotrebu (ali postoji i profesionalni deo asortimana), kao što su fenovi za kosu, prese, trimeri za muškarce itd. Njihovi proizvodi od sada biće dostupni i u našim prodavnicama sa kućnim aparatima.

On Thursday, 26.05. I attended a promotion of the new brand in our market - BaByliss Paris. Although the name of the brand was familiar to me, I must admit that I did not know very much about the brand. What surprised me the most was that this is actually one of the dominant brands in Europe, when it comes to home care appliances (but they also have professional products), such as hair dryers, presses, trimmers for men etc. Their products are now available in our country and you will be able to buy them in stores with household appliances.

Na promociji su bili izloženi njihovi proizvodi, bezbroj figara, presa, rotirajućih četki, fenova, trimera, ali i par po meni veoma posebnih proizvoda koje moram da izdvojim Na prvom mestu tu je Curl Secret, koji predstavlja prvi automatski keramički figaro. Izgleda potpuno neobično, a koristi se tako što se deo pramena blizu glave stavi između dva dela figara (slično kao kod pegle za kosu), a zatim figaro sam uvlači ceo pramen u sebe i namotava ga. Veoma zanimljiv aparat, a pre svega lak za korišćenje.


The promotion introduced countless curling irons, presses, rotary brushes, hair dryers, trimmers, and a couple of very special products that I have to mention individually. The first one is Curl Secret, which is the first automatic ceramic curling iron. It looks completely unusual. You put a peace of hair that is close to the head in between the two parts of the curling iron (similar to the way you use a straightening iron), and then it pulls in the rest of the hair automatically and curls it inside. A very interesting device, and above all easy to use.

Takođe veoma zanimljivi proizvodi koji su me veoma zainteresovali su IPL epilatori, koji za razliku od klasičnih epilatora koji dlaku čupaju velikm brojem pinceta, zapravo pulsevima svetlosti uništavaju koren dlake i sprečavaju njen rast. Ovaj tip epilacije posle dovoljno tretmana potpuno uklanja dlake na neko vreme. Sa ovim aparatima možete se sami kod kuće epilirati za kratko vreme (oni procenjuju da će vam za pola nogu trebati 10 minuta), i neće biti potrebe za odlaskom u salon na mnogo tretmana kako bi dlake prestale da rastu.


Also very interesting products that I was very interested in are the IPL epilators, which unlike conventional epilators, which pull out hair using many small tweezers, use light pulses to actually destroy the hair roots and prevent its growth. This type of epilation after sufficient treatments completely removes hair for a while. With this product you can epilate at home quickly (they estimate that you will need 10 minutes for half of the legs), and you will not need to go to the cosmetics salon on many treatments to remove hair.

Kompanija BaByliss zapravo je deo Conair korporacije koja je osnovana čak 1959. godine. S obzirom da su sada i na našem tržištu, mene samo zanima da ih vidim po prodavnicama i zapravo saznam cene njihovih proizvoda.


The BaByliss company is actually a part Conair corporation, which was established in 1959. Given that they are now available in our market, I am just interested to see their products in shops and actually find out their prices.

Da li ste čuli za BaByliss? Da li vam se proizvodi koje sam pomenula čine zanimljivim?

Nivea noviteti i mini recenzije

Nivea je u poslednje vreme izbacila više noviteta koji se već mogu naći u prodaji. Mnoge od njih sam dobila od Nivee da isprobam. Kada se sve to sabere sa nekim proizvodima koje sam već imala, shvatila sam da Nivea trenutno predstavlja jedan veliki deo proizvoda za negu mog lica, tela i kose. Zato sam rešila da vam pokažem neke od Niveinih noviteta i proizvode koje trenutno koristim.


Nivea has recently released several new products that are already in stores. Many of them I got from Nivea to try out. When all this is added to some products I already had, I realized that Nivea currently represents a large part of my face, body and hair care. So I decided to show you some of the new Nivea products I currently use.

Pre svega pojavili su se različiti proizvodi sa mirisom dobre stare plave Nivea kreme. Moram priznati da je uživanje pronaći taj miris koji me podseća na čisto i u drugim proizvodima: 

- Protect & Care Anti- perspirant - nežan, ne pecka, štiti od neprijatnih mirisa, 

-  Body Milk Nourishing Intensive Moisture Care (Dry to Very Dry Skin) - divan miris, gusta i vrlo intenzivna formula, lako se razmazuje i upija, mada je malo masnija,

- Creme Care Cream Shower - potpuno uživanje u Nivea mirisu u veoma kremastoj i nežnoj kupki, koja neguje i ne isušuje kožu uopšte.


First of all we have different products with the smell of good old blue Nivea cream. I have to admit that I enjoy feeling this scent that reminds me of cleanliness in other products:
- Protect & Care Anti-perspirant - soft, doesn't sting, protects against odor,
- Body Milk Nourishing Intensive Moisture Care (Dry to Very Dry Skin) - a nice scent, thick and very intense formula, easy to spread and absorb, although it is a bit greasy,
- Creme Care Cream Shower - enjoy the Nivea scent in very creamy and gentle shower gel that nourishes and does not dry out the skin at all.

Od proizvoda za kosu tu su dva noviteta:

- Repair & Targeted Care (Dry, Stressed Hair) šampon i balzam - Mirišu po meni na kakao, mada miris nje veoma intenzivan. Moja kosa je baš suva i oštećena zbog farbanja, ali ova dva proizvoda ludački omekšaju kosu. Nakon pranja kose, čak i bez korišćenja ovog balzama kosa je jako meka, ni malo se ne mrsi i deluje potpuno zdravo. Naravno ovo ne znači da je ovi proizvodi zaista toliko obnove, već većinom samo čine da ona izgleda zdravije i mekše.
Takođe koristim i:

- Flexible Curlse Styling Mousse - moja omiljena pena koju koristim kada žeim da mi kosa bude loknasta. Ne ulepi kosu uopšte i ne izmasti je, a dobro drži lokne. Naravno ako imate kosu koja se lako ispravlja pena neće moći mnogo da pomogne. Ja srećom imam kosu koja se lepo slaže sa loknama.


There are also two new hair products:
- Repair & Targeted Care (Dry, Stressed Hair) Shampoo and Conditioner - Smells like cocoa in my opinion, but the smell of it is very intense. My hair is very dry and damaged from colouring, but these two products insanely soften my hair. After washing my hair, even without the use of conditioner hair is very soft, it won't tangle and seems completely healthy. Of course this does not mean that these products really  repair it that much, but mostly make it look healthier and softer.
I also use:
- Flexible Curls Styling Mousse - my favorite mousse I use when I want curly hair. Won't stick hair together and make it greasy, a makes curls more durable. Of course, if you have hair that is easily straitened it won't be of much help. I luckily have hair that agrees with curls well.

A za kraj malo potpuno različitih proizvoda:

- Invisible Anti-perspirant - dobar dezodorans protiv znojenja. Posebno je dobar pošto ne ostavlja bele tragove. Miris mu je blag i nije pre napadan. Smanjuje znojenje, ali ne nešto posebno, u rangu je ostalih dobrih dezodoransa.

- Refreshing Cleansing Milk - dobro rešenje za nežno uklanjanje šminke, posebno za osobe sa suvom kožom. Mleko je prijatno i lako rastvara šminku bez trljanja,.

- Carea & Cocoa Care Shower - divna kremasta kupka koja miriše na kakao. Koža je vrlo meka nakon korišćenja kupke jer kupka sadrži kakoa puter i hidrira.

- Nivea Intimo Mild - sapun za intimnu higijenu koji je blag i dobar za svakodnevnu upotrebu. Generalno volim Niveine intimne sapune i vrlo su mi prijatni i umirujući. Jedina zamerka je što na njima ne piše pH vrednost, koja je kod ovih proivoda itekako bitna.

For the end some completely different products:

- Invisible Anti-perspirant - a good antiperspirant deodorant . It is especially good because it doesn't leave white marks. Its smell is mild and not overwhelming. Reduces sweating, but not in any extraordinary amount. It is similar to other good deodorants.

- Refreshing Cleansing Milk - a good solution to gently remove makeup, especially for people with dry skin. Milk is a pleasant and easily dissolves make-up without rubbing,.

- Care & Cocoa Care Shower - wonderful creamy Shower gel that smells of cocoa. The skin is very soft after using it since it contains cocoa butter which hydrates.

- Nivea Intimo Mild - soap for intimate hygiene that is gentle and good for everyday use. Overall I like Nivea intimate soaps and they are very pleasant and soothing. The only complaint I have is that there's not written pH value, which is at the very important for this type of product.

Krema koja je u centru slike je takođe novitet - Nivea Care nova univerzalna krema za lice i telo. Ipak o njoj ću pisati u posebnom postu. Volite li Niveu? Koji od ovih proizvoda koristite?

The cream, which is in the center of the image is also a new product - Nivea Care new universal cream for face and body. But I will write about it in a separate post. Do you like Nivea? Which of these products do you use?

Balea Horhaut Reduzier Creme - krema za odstranjivanje zadeljale kože stopala

Jedna od vrlo bitnih stvari za mene je nega stopala. Kako se bavim plesom već više od decenije mnogo moram da pazim na svoja stopala, kako ona ne bi izgledala katastrofalno, što je vrlo česta pojava kod plesača. Vrlo sam ponosna što uspevam u ovom mom poduhvatu očuvanja sopstvenih stopala i to bez odlaska kod pedikira. Krema koju sam poslednju rešila da probam je Baleina posebna krema namenjena smanjivanju zadebljale kože stopala, a to je upravo nešto što meni treba. 

One very important thing for me is foot care. Since I dance for more than a decade I have to take care of my feet a lot, so they won't look disastrous, which is very common in dancers. I am very proud that I'm handling this enterprise of saving my feet quite well, even without going to a pedicure. The cream I decided to try now is a special Balea cream intended for reduction of  thickened skin of the feet, and that is exactly what I need.

Krema sadrži ureu i alantoin, koji neguju i omekšavaju i vrlo suvu i grubu kožu. Ipak krema je posebna pošto sadrži i voćne kiseline kao i salicilnu kiselinu, koje pomažu smanjenju zadebljanja i obnovi kože. Krema dolazi u tubi od 50ml i manja je od ostalih Baleinih krema za stopala. Košta 249 dinara, pa je zbog manjeg pakovanja za nijansu skuplja od ostalih Baleinih krema.

The cream contains urea and allantoin, which nourish and soften even very dry and rough skin. It also contains fruit acids and salicylic acid, which help reduce skin thickening and restores the skin. The cream comes in a tube of 50 ml and it's smaller than other Balea foot creams. It costs 249 RSD,  Due to smaller packaging it is slightly more expensive than other Balea creams, although we still have to admit that the cream is very cheap.

Krema ima blag citrusan miris, pošto sadrži ulja iz kore citrusa. Srednje je gustine, ali nije mnogo masna, već se vrlo brzo upija, bez ostavljanja upadljivog masnog filma na koži. Moja koža je vrlo dobro reagovala na kremu. Lepo omekša i suvi delovi se izgube. Takođe sam primetila da se zadebljanja za nijansu sporije formiraju. Moguće je da bi ova krema na nekome ko se ne bavi plesom i nije stalno bos imala i još bolji efekat. Žao mi je samo što je pakovanje kreme malo.

The cream has a mild citrusy scent, as it contains oil from citrus peels. It has medium density, and isn't oily, but is rapidly absorbed without leaving a greasy film on the skin. My skin had a very good reaction to the cream. It nicely softens and dry parts disappear. I also noticed that the thickening is slightly slower. It is possible that this cream would be more effective on someone who is not a dancer and is not barefoot all the time.  I am only sorry that the packaging is a bit small.

Krema mi se svidela i dobra je za svakodnevnu negu malo zahtevnijih stopala. Efekti nisu ekstremni ali su primetni, i vrlo zadovoljavajući s obzirom na nisku cenu ove kreme. Da li ste probali ovu kremu i kakvi su bili vaši utisci?

I like the cream and it is good for daily care of a little more demanding feet. The effects are not extreme, but they are noticeable and very satisfactory given the low cost of this cream. Have you tried this cream, and what were your impressions?

Ebelin Professional Make Up Egg & Concealer Egg

Postoje tri tipa devojaka: one koje puder nanose prstima, sunđerima i četikicama. Ja spadam u ovu treću grupu, a ako se žurim ponekad izletim i u grupu koja koristi dobre stare prste. Naravno to malo zavisi i od same formule pudera, i koliko jako prekrivanje želim da dobijem. Ipak nisam mogla da odolim da ne probam sunđere, i to naravno u obliku sada već veoma popularnog jajeta. Odlučila sam se za Ebelin jaje koje se može naći u DM drogerijama. Kada sam ga kupila koštalo je 375 dinara (mada moguće je da je danas za nijansu skuplje).

There are three types of girls: those that apply foundation using their fingers, different kinds of sponges and brushes. I belong to the third group, and if I'm in a hurry I sometimes jump to the group that uses the good old fingers. Of course it depends a little form the foundation formula, and the coverage I want to achieve. Yet I could not resist trying out some sponges, and of course I bought the one in a form of a now very popular egg. I decided to buy Ebelin egg that can be found in DM drugstores. When I bought it, it costed 375 RSD (although it is possible that today it is a bit more expensive).

Sunđer je roze boje i srednje je tvrd. Kada se pokvasi blago se uveća i omekša. Mokar sunđer upiće manje pudera u sebe, pa ćete na taj način štedeti sam proizvod. Naravno pre nanošenja sunđer se dobro iscedi od vode, a zatim se puder raspoređuje po koži tapkanjem. Za to je koristim donji širi deo sunđera. Dobra stvar kod ovi sunđerčića je što se s njima nanosi vrlo tanak i prozračan sloj pudera. Deluje tanje nego kada za nanošenje koristim četkicu, a svakako je tanji sloj nego kada se puder nanosi prstima. Takođe puder deluje veoma ujednačeno i izblendano.

Sponge is pink and medium hard. When dampened it slightly enlarges and becomes softer. Wet sponge will soak in less foundation, and you will thus save product. Of course, before applying your foundation sponge sound be squeezed to remove excess water, and then the foundation should be applied by tapping motion. For that I use the big lower part of the sponge. The good thing about these sponges is that they easily apply a very thin layer of foundation. It is thinner than when I use a brush to apply it, and it is certainly thinner than when I use my fingers for application. Also, foundation looks very even and blended.

S druge strane vrh sunđera koji je zašiljen može se koristiti za korektor ispod oka ili za bolje prilaženje delovima oko nosa, Ovaj sunđer je dobar i za blendanje proizvoda za konturiranje i generalno stapanje šminke koju na lice nanesete. Njim možete i setovati ten praškastim proizvodima. Krajnji rezultat je lagan, izblendan, prozračan i blago sjajan ten (koža mi uvek deluje nekako dewy posle korišćenja sunđera).

On the other hand the top of the sponge that is tapered can be used for concealer under the eye or to reach area around the nose more easily. This sponge is good for blending contouring products and generally blending makeup you apply. It can also be used for setting makeup using powdery products. The end result is a lightweight, blended, translucent and slightly shiny complexion (my skin always looks a bit dewy after using the sponge).

Od skoro Ebelin je u prodaju ubacio i pakovanje sa dva mini jajeta koji su namenjeni nanošenju korektora. Daleko su lakši i praktičniji za korišćenje u ovoj regiji nego vrh velikog jajeta. Cena pakovanja sa dva mini jajeta je 399 dinara.

Ebelin recently introduced packaging with two mini eggs that are intended for concealer application. They are far easier and more convenient to use in this region than the tip of the large egg. Price of this packaging with two mini egg is 399 RSD.

Pošto su ovi sunđerčići mali, za blendanje korektora ispod oka koristim zaobljeni donji deo sunđera, dok zašiljeni koristim samo oko unutrašnjeg dela oka. Ako korektor prvo nanesem i blago razmažem prstima sunđerčić će zaista lepo izblendati korektor do kraja. Ako pak jaje koristim za nanošenje korektora, dobija se ponovo tanji sloj i ako vam je korektor malo stariji ili vam ova regija nije dovoljno hidrirana, ne dobija se baš idealno prekrivanje i ujednačenost.

Since these sponges are small, for blending concealer under the eye I use the rounded bottom of the sponge, while tapered part I only use around the inner part of the eye. If I apply concealer first and then use sponge for blending, it will do that well. But if I use the sponge to apply concealer, I get thinner layer again, so if your concealer a little older or this region is not sufficiently hydrated, you won't get an ideal coverage and evening of the complexion.

Sunđeri bi trebalo da se operu nakon svakog korišćenja. Najčešće ih perem običnim tečnim sapunom, ali po nekad koristim i tečnost za čišćenje četkica za šminku. Prilično se lako očiste i na njima ne ostaju baš mnogo mrlje od pudera i korektora.

Sponges should be washed after each use. Most often I wash them using liquid soap, but sometimes I use the cleaning liquid for makeup brushes. They are pretty easy to clean and foundation and concealer stains wont stay on them that much.

Na slikama ispod možete da vidite razliku u veličini ovih sunđerčića kada su suvi i nakvašeni. Pokvasila sam plavi sunđer, dok je rozi suv.

In the pictures below you can see the difference in size of the sponge when dry and soaked with water. The blue sponge is wet, while the pink one is dry.

Ovi sunđeri su zaista jedan višenamenski proizvod za brzo i lako nanošenje pre svega tečnih proizvoda na lice, ali i blendanje svih ostalih proizvoda. Često ih koristim od kad sam ih kupila, mada moram priznati da su mi moje četkice i dalje najdraže za nanošeje pudera.

These sponges are truly a multi-purpose products for quick and easy application of liquid products on the face, but also for blending of all other products. I have used them often since I got them, although I must admit that I continue love to most my good old foundation brushes.

Da li koristite čuvena sunđerasta jaja i kakvo je vaše mišljenje o njima? Koji vam je omiljeni brend ovih aplikatora?
