My 2013 Favorites

Hello :)

 

Today I'm sharing with you my 2013 beauty and random favorites. 

1. Skincare: My absolute favorite is this Avon Clearskin pore penatrating peeling. I've been using it through the whole year and it has became an irreplaceable product in my skincare routine.

2. Skincare: The L'oreal Hydra Active 3 micelar solution has been a dream for taking off makeup, it is probably the second best thing after the amazing Bioderma H2O.

3. Face: BB creams were big this year too and the Deborah Milano 5 in 1 left a big stamp on me. It is by far one of the best drugstore BB creams I've ever tried. I will keep repurchasing it for sure.

4. Face: Catrice LE Illuminating Base made me fall in love with highlighters and has been my dear companion through this year. We glowed into the night together !

5. Face: I was finally able to try the Collection 2000 concealer. And yes as you all know it is the best ever. I have to get it again. 

6. Eyes: The Sleek Vintage Romance palette found it's way to our hearts with it's goregeus jewel toned eye shadows. This palette has became a must have for a night out. 

7. Eyes: 2013 was the year that the Color Tattoos came to Slovenian drugstores. Since then I don't think there's been a day that I haven't used these as a base or just on their own.

8. Eyes: Maybelline mascaras have always been my favorites, but the Rocket stood out for me this year. It makes my lashes look great. I love that it gives me both length and volume. 

9. Eyes: This was one of the first products I tried from MUA. I love the formulation of this eyeliner. It's creamy and it glides on very well. I love lining my upper lash line for a smokey look.

10. Lips: Another discovery in 2013 were the new Essence lipsticks. I got two shades for now but I'm sure I'll be purchasing more. Very pigmented and very creamy.

11. Face: For pale girls bronzers are extremely hard to find. That is why I opted for this Catrice Multi Colored powder and I use it as a bronzer for a natural sun kissed look. 

12. Nails: In early fall I made my first Essie purchase. This one is in the shade Twin sweater set and it is the perfect all year round red color. It's been my favorite nailpolish ever since I bought it.

13. Nails: In 2013 I discovered the Golden Rose Jolly Jewels glitter nailpolishes. I own 4 of these and I love them all but this rosegold one is by far my favorite. If you have the chance to try them please do, you will be amazed.

14. Random: I love when my room smells nice and cozy, I mean who doesn't :)

I love using this Yankee Candle waxes. I do have a little obsession over them which has turned a shelf of my vanity into a mini wax collection. These are just some that I love. I'm currently burning the rest of my Christmas Memories wax.

15. Food: My breakfast consists of coffee and a bowl of these lovely Flakes. They taste amazing and they aren't the worst thing for your body. I love to eat them with milk or greek yogurt and add some banana to them.

16. Food: I do add honey to my bowl of cereal too. 

This one has been my favorite this year. I've been through so many that I can't even count. I love honey so much and I sweeten everything I can with it. 

17. Drink: My second favorite drink after coffee is tea. And my all time favorite tea has to be this Good Nature - Apple & Cinnamon tea. Those are two of my favorite things combined in a tea. Could life even get better? :)

Those were all the things I loved and enjoyed in 2013 and I'm sure I'll keep enjoying them in 2014. 

Are you familiar with this products and if you are, which are your favorites? 

I'm excited to read your comments.

Thank you for reading,

MeMeMe - Eye Inspire Eyeshadow Trio

Hey lovely readers :)

Živjo drage bralke :)

On this casual Sunday I have another review for you in English and Slovene.

This time I am reviewing a new brand that I haven't tried before. It is MeMeMe and I have heard of it before by watching a lot of british Beauty vloggers.

Last month Anja from Moja Drogerija (click away) asked us to pick a quad/trio from this brand to review and I decided to pick 04 Desire Eyes.

I was very atracted to this shade, because it's green colors reminded me of fall/autumn and since I don't have similar eyeshadow colors in my collection (schooker), it was an easy pick. 

MeMeMe Trio - 04 Desire Eyes

Tokrat ocenjujem novo blagovno znamko, ki je do zdaj še nisem poskusila. Ta je MeMeMe za katero sem slišala le preko nekaterih pritanskih Lepotnih vloggerjev.

Prejšnji mesec Anja iz Moja Drogerija (klik), nam je dala na izbiro za oceno quad ali trio senčk te blagovne znamke in sem se odločila, da si izberem odtenek 04 Desire Eyes.

Ta odtenek me je zelo privlačil, ker so me zelene barve spomnile na jesen in ker nimam podobnega odtenka v moji kolekciji, je bila izbira lahka.

So lets dig into the details :)

Torej, gremo k podrobnostim :)

Packaging:

The shadows are in a round black container with a seethhrough lid which has the name of the brand on it (as you can see in the pictures).It reminds me a lot of MAC packaging (judging from pictures) and that excites me a lot. I also like that you can easily see the colors through the lid and I like that it closes well and securly.

Pakiranje:

Senčke so v okrogli črni posodi s prozornim pokrovom, ki ima na njem ime blagovne znamke (kot lahko vidite na slikah).

Spominja me na MAC embalaže (sodeč po slikah), kar me je navdušilo še bolj. Všeč mi je tudi, da lahko enostavno vidimo barve skozi pokrov. Pravtako pa da se dobro in varno zapre. 

Desire Eyes: up close

Enough talking about the outside, we all know real beauty lies on the inside. 

Dovolj govorjenja o zunanjosti, saj vsi vemo, da prava lepota leži v notranjosti.

Eyeshadow colors:

All the eyeshadows are shimmery, the vibrant green though is a little less. The lighter and darker mossy greens have gold reflex to them, where as the vibrant green has more of a golden green reflex. 

Barve senčil :

Vse senčila imajo "shimmer finiš", medtem ko živahno zeleni odtenek malo manj. Prva dva odtenka imajo zlati refleks, živahno zelena pa bolj zeleno-zlati refleks.

Application:

I love the formula of these eyeshadow. I found it very easy to apply them. You can blend them to get a more settle smokey look or build them up to get a more night out and sexy smokey eye. I also noticed that there wasn't as much fall out as there usually is with other eyeshadows I often use, and that was a plus. 

Nanos:

Obožujem formulo teh senčil. Ugotovila sem, da je nanos zelo enostaven. Zelo lahko se jih zabriše, da bi dobili bolj vsakodnevni Smokey, pravtako se da pigmentacijo dodajati, da bi dobili večern in seksi Smokey look. Opazila sem tudi, da ni bilo veliko opadanja senčil na licih, kar je velik plus, saj ni potrebno dodatno popravljanje podlage v tem predelu.

Pigmentation:The vibrant green dissapointed me in this aspect, in comparisson to the other two greens which are impressively much more pigmented. And as they say a picture is worth a 1000 words - you can see it all in the picture of the swatches.

Pigmentacija:

Živahno zelena me je razočarala v tem pogledu v primerjavi z drugima dvema, ki sta izjemno pigmentirana. 

In kot pravijo slika je vredna 1000 besed - vse se lepo vidi na slikah spodaj.

Swatch: with primer

Without primer

Staying power:

I used the eyeshadows with different primers and eyeshadow bases and overall I was satisfied with the staying power. The eyeshadows stayed well on my lids, they didn't crease and the colors stayes vibrant.

Obstojnost:

Senčila sem uporabila z različnimi podlagami in kremnimi senčili. Na splošno sem bila zadovoljena z obstojnostjo. 

Senčila so se odlično izkazala na mojih vekah, saj se niso pogreznila v gubice veke. Barve so tudi po nekaj urah ostale živahne.

The look I created

In conclusion if you are looking for a nice eyeshadow trio to carry aroung in your makeup bag, I reccommend you to get this one.

You can find all the different shades if you click this link, which will lead you to Anja's site Moja Drogerija.si where it retails for 8,30€.

Skratka, če iščete lep Trio senčil za prenašanje v vaši kozmetični torbici, vam priporočam tole senčilo. Lahko najdete vse različne odtenke, če kliknete to povezavo, ki vas bo popeljala na strani Moja Drogerija.si, kjer se prodaja za 8,30 €.

Essence's 17-piece Set

Hello Beauty World ;)

A while ago me and my friend came across an offer on one of the Slovenian's  discount sites. It was about an  Essence Set of makeup. And if there is anything I deeply love about makeup, it is Essence stuff. And also I knew that these products were a great add to my collection and also I got a beautiful see-thorough makeup bag with it (I've been wanting one of those for a while).

Here is the content of this lovely set:

EYES:

1. Essence eyeshadow - 33 it's my party

- matt effect, super-soft & long lasting eyeshadow
This is a beautiful teal color and goes perfectly for spicing up a natural look.

2.Essence Quattro eyeshadow - 01 Ciao Bella!

- 4 shades, perfectly matched for trendy looks
I was super excited to see this palette in my set, since it is one of my all time favorite quattros from Essence.

3.Essence Long lasting eye pencil - 14 Think Khaki!

- Super soft eye pencil for precise application, long-lasting.
Goes perfectly with the neutral palette.

4. Essence Black mania - carbon black volume mascara

- Gives lashes ultimate volume, with carbon black pigments for intensely stunning black lashes.

LIPS:

1. Essence Lipliner - 01 Soft Rose

- Soft and precise application, long-lasting.
This lipliner  is perfect to create a nice pinky-nude lip. 

2.Essence Stay with me longlasting lipgloss - 06 Berry me

- A colourful lipgloss for glossy lips.
This glosses are great not just because of their staying power, but also because of their great color payoff.

3.Essence lipgloss - 22 Italian lover

- A lipgloss for glamorous shine.
This was one of  my favorite lip glosses years ago. I think I repurchased this shade at least 10 times. I was very glad to see it in this set and go down memory lane.

4.Essence Cream gloss with cocoa butter - 02 Cocoa butter

- Moisturizing cream gloss for smooth and glossy lips (smells like cocoa).
Amazing product! I can't believe that I never purchased it in the past. It is surprisingly the most moisturizing lip gloss I own.

NAILS: 

1. Essence Nude glam nail polish - 01 Cotton candy

- A nail polish that is perfect for a trendy nude look. For higher coverage apply twice.

2.Essence Colour&Go quick drying nail polish - 51 Mellow Yellow

- Nail polish with a flat brush - quick dry: trendy nail style within seconds!
It goes on very smoothly and it has amazing fine yellow glitter in it. Perfect for spring and summer.

3.Essence Multi dimension XXXL shine nail polish - 66 Most Wanted

- Special formula for long-lasting, high covering & extreme glossy finish.
I love the glossyness of this nail polish. 

4.Essence Glitter topcoat 

- For an extra sparkling manicure result. Extends the lasting power of the nail polish.
I have been wearing it over Most Wanted and I love the combination. Sadly I am saying goodbye to darker colors since spring is around the corner(it's sadly still snowing in Slovenia)!

FACE STUFF + NAIL STICKERS: 

1. Essence Nail Art sticker 

- Self-adhesive nail stickers

2.Essence Nail Art tattoo

- Super thin nail tattoo sticker

3.Essence pure skin

I am looking forward to giving this a go.

4.Essence Pure mineral powder make-up - 02 Soft Sand

- 100% minerals, no preservatives, no perfume, soft like powder, covering like a foundation, long-lasting.

This is a lovely mineral foundation. It is perfect for my skin and I love the natural finish of it. Sadly it is a little too dark for me right now, but I think that it will be perfect for summer when I really don't like using too much makeup.

The last piece of the set is the clear makeup bag.
This set was only 9, 90 € and I don't regret at all the purchase.
I hope there will be other offers like this again :)
I hope you enjoyed the read :)
Leave me a comment and have a nice day,
Dee ;)
