New In ~ A Haul Post

Hello everybody! How are you doing? I am just about to go for my jogging hour and then to my studying. As it happens, I got the job I was hoping to get and I start tomorrow, I am quite excited about that. I'm moving to my own place, similar to what I had in Bratislava, with entirely new schedule for me. We'll see how it goes. :)

I planned to do this post yesterday, but we went out and I ran out of time. It is essentially May haul post. And I kind of bought a lot this month. 

Maybe a lot is a strong expression ... certainly more than in previous few months. :) The pictures are an adventure, because my camera went crazy, I hope it is not too annoying. I think I really need to toss it at this point, but I dislike the pictures my cell phone makes, so I am trying to make it work ..

Nail stuff first! Afrodita Oliva nail polish remover is the only nail polish remover with acetone I can use and it is my favourite nail polish remover ever, together with its acetoneless sister called Aroma. I finally used up Sally Hansen remover I bought in Blava, where you can't get Afrodita and the change in quality is amazing. I love Afrodita, if you have the chance, try it! :)

China Glaze Splish Splash nail polish I bought on a whim from a girl, because I really liked it on swatches and it was on my WL since the collection came out. I am wearing it ATM and it feels very very similar to Zoya Tallulah. Comparison will follow. 

And Born Pretty Store water decals, three of them, you already saw Pandas, and I have two more to show you. Fun stuff, I love water decals!

Stuff for skin and face! :) A little package of testers I got from Sabex, our distributor of Bioderma brand. You can go online and give your information and they send you testers every once in a while. That is where I got my tester of their BB Sensibio cream and now I got a perfect package for my mixed skin, Sebium Global creme is already on my WL, I think it will be great for me, as my skin condition worsened in the past year. 

Illamasqua blusher Allure. Oh dear Lord of the Rings. One word comes to mind whenever I think of this blusher: pigmentation!! It is hands down the best blusher I have ever used. You need to touch it with your brush really really lightly and then tap it on your hand and then put it on your face, otherwise it will be too much. Amazing blush. And I LOVE the colour. Gorgeous little thing. I need to get more Illamasqua in my life. It was a bargain, I got is as exchange on mojbutik, but I honestly think it is worth whatever money they are demanding for it.

Oriflame double sided brush I got as exchange on mojbutik and it is a good brush, albeit a bit hard to store. But it is good for applying eyeshadow.

Etude Proof 10 Eye Primer is an eyeshadow base that I was planning to order for a loooong time. Ever since I saw the review on mejkap.si so yeah, long time. I still haven't tried it, as my ArtDeco one is still acting nicely, but I can't wait to put it to the test! You can see on the first picture a bunch of testers I got with it.

And something for hair and body. :) Le Petit Marseillais brand got on my radar when a good friend of mine brought me a couple of their products all the way from France and I loved them. Later on I noticed our Leclerc has some of their lines and I tried them again and loved them. So it was great news for me when I saw they are coming to Slovenia for real, with most of their lines and Leclerc had this huge sale on them a couple of weeks ago. So I got their Shea butter and honey hair conditioner and their Shea butter, almond and Argan oil body lotion. They smell divine, especially body lotion and they are great (I prefer the white, almond hair conditioner though). 

Balea Warmwachs I got again after reading amazing review on mejkap.si, and I already tried it on my legs and loved the result. It is good stuff. It is on sale right now since they are discontinuing it (figures!) so I already bought another package.

As always, if you want any specific reviews of any of the products in this post, just let me know in the comments. :)

What did you purchase for yourself in the last month? :)

New in (a haul post)

Hello everyone! This could be also titled "news of late". I haven't written in a while, it was quite an insane schedule I had, and, what is most important, my computer crashed and I was disconnected for a while. My BF then lent me the same laptop I had in Blava now and I can finally catch up. I still have a giveaway to prepare and a post with new items of April. 

Now, I have been very diligent last month, have hardly bought anything at all. In the end of the month, however, licila.si, a Slovene make up online store surprised me with a very nice package. 

Other than that, I have only bought a new BB Cream from Bioderma, as I wanted to try one for quite a while and Bioderma usually suits me.

Bioderma Sensibio BB Cream from their AR line is great stuff. I first got a tester in my mailbox and then decided to purchase it and I like it. It does not clog up my pores, even though it is from the richer line (Sensibio is richer comparing to their Hydrabio line), the shade is nice and covers up pores nicely. Sure, it is not like a full-cover foundation, but you do not really search for that in BB Cream, at least I do not. I also love the fact that it has SPF 30. 

And the package licila.si sent me. Make up Revolution! I got a mascara, a blusher, an eyeshadow and a lipstick. Very nice package, I have been testing the products for the past week and I am impressed with pigmentation of some of them. I will do separate reviews of the products, so more on them in later posts.

What is your favourite BB Cream? Have you too joined the Revolution? 

As always, if you want any specific reviews of the products in haul posts, all you need to do is ask. :)

Have a nice Sunday evening!

New In January ~ A haul post

Hey my dear people! Time for another haul post.

This time it contains absolutely no make up. Nothing looked good enough for me to buy. And since I spent a huge amount of money on my skin care, I'll probably skip make up for a while anyway. This is what I've gotten in the past two weeks.

There is this online shop here in Slovakia (called mojalekaren.sk) and they had very good deal on Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle solution. For 17 eur I got 500 ml bottle and 100 ml one as a gift. Now, tell me, isn't the small bottle the cutest thing EVER? It is so adorable! And dead useful, absolutely perfect for travelling! I read quite often comparisons between micelle solutions on blogsphere and I find them really interesting. Bioderma's still rocks for me though. Yeah, it is expensive, but after battling with Ziaja make up remover I really appreciate how easy make up is removed with it. And after re-removing the make up after using Ziaja with my Argan & Mandel oil that I usually have for hair, I really appreciate how Bioderma does not make my eyes watery because they are so irritated (one of the reasons why I simply cannot use oil based removers). So, honestly, I'll just stick to Bioderma. I am really impressed by the brand in general. Also the Bioderma Sensibio Rich creme has become holy grail for my mother's dry skin (so dry oils were not enough for her skin!). And I am fortunate enough to be living at home right around the corner of Leposana, where Bioderma is offer at the lowest price in Slovenia, I think. FTW. :)

I have also bought Bioderma Hydrabio Legere creme after using Sensibio Light tester for a while. That one was too rich for me, it cloged my pores a bit on the greasy part of my skin, but for my dry half of the face (yes, I love my skin) it was perfect, I haven't found a creme that would suit me that much in years. So I tried with Hydrabio line, hoping it would tone down the pore clogging but keep my skin hydrated and so far it is absolute perfection. It just might take Derma E's first place on my creme list, also because the packaging is perfect. 

Second half is for my body. Dermacol Aroma Ritual Sicilian Pistachio shower gel smells divine. Most people are like: wtf, pistachio, really?? And I think they are discontinuing it, but I adore the smell. It smells like pistachio ice cream in Cocoa in Ljubljana (where you can get the best pistachio ice cream ever, it really tastes like pistachio!). So yeah, I love Dermacol shower gels, I need to buy Jasmine one as well.

Fennel Body Yogurt I bought on sale, chocolate chip cookie smell sounded like an awesome idea for some odd reason. I am normally not too fond of sweet smells, but if they are done properly, I like them. This one smells amazing for a couple of minutes, really like chocolate cookie dough, but after 15 minutes it dissolves into this sweet smell that is not really defined. Pity. It has a good texture and keeps my skin soft though. They also have strawberry ice cream scent, but as I dread the artificial strawberry smell, I will not buy it evah.

What did you buy in the past few weeks? Do you like Bioderma?

Paket Petek

Hey ladies. This post will be in Slovene. Why? I decided I will post about Slovene stores in Slovene language, because it is rather irrelevant for the rest of you where I got the product and what my opinion of the store is, when you can't really shop there. I will talk about the products in English as well though. This week I'm introducing Bioderma products for skincare, only as a haul post, but if you wish to hear my opinion on them (because Bioderma is available elsewhere, of course), let me know in the comments. :)

Torej ... kot rečeno zgoraj, bom od zdaj naprej o slovenskih trgovinah pisala v slovenščini. Ker, roko na srce, nekoga izven Slovenije pač ne zanima moja izkušnja z Mojo kozmetiko, ali z Ličila.si, ali s katero koli drugo slovensko trgovino, morda pa bo katera lažje zgooglala informacijo, če bo spisana v slovenščini. :) In ja, morda s tem podzavestno poskušam popestirti bloganje, katerega zadnje čase grdo zanemarjam ... in morda se moram malce odpočiti od angleščine odkar večina mojega dela poteka v tem jeziku. ;)

Paket Petek tega tedna skriva v sebi testerje kvalitetne znamke za nego kože Bioderma. Slovenska spletna stran ima na voljo, po mojem skromnem mnenju, odličen sistem, kjer se vpišeš v njihov program, označiš tip kože in lasišča in ti pošljejo testerje izdelkov, primernih tvojemu tipu kože. Zdi se mi odličen sistem, ker se mi je v preteklosti velikokrat zgodilo, da so mi prodajalke sicer prijazno zmetale v vrečko en kup testerjev, ki pa so se izkazali za popolnoma neuporabne. Ker je Bioderma dražja znamka, je super preizkusiti izdelke, ki so dejansko namenjeni tvojemu tipu kože, preden žrtvuješ večjo količino denarja za eno kremo, za katero se izkaže, da je neprimerna za tvoj obraz. Tako je v mojem nabiralniku pristalo naslednje:

Iz dobljenega lahko sklepate, da se je mati Narava pri meni počutila zelo razdvojeno ... želela bi mi dati malce zahtevnejšo kožo, vendar ni bila čisto točno prepričana, ali bom hodila okoli zafarbana ali svetleče mastna ... pa je rekla, oh, saj to gre pa lepo skupaj, če malce porazdeliš po obrazu in sem fasala oboje. ;) Imam mastno T cono z razširjenimi porami za katero je kot naročena Sebium linija Bioderme, in občutljiva, k rdečici nagnjena lica (v bistvu tanko kožo, zaradi česar zelo hitro zardim, tudi če se ne počutim neprijetno) in suho spodnjo čeljust (sploh brado), za katero bo očitno linija Sensibio. Zraven še krema za oči in, česar sem bila izredno vesela, njihova micelarna raztopina za odstranjevanje ličil, o kateri berem samo najboljše. 

Ker sem že nekaj časa v iskanju boljših izdelkov za nego kožo (trenutni mi ne ustrezajo najbolje), držim pesti, da bo Bioderma zame. Je dražja, vendar obljublja zelo dobre rezultate. Zaenkrat sem preizkusila obe kremi za obraz (vsako na svojem delu obraza) in Sebium krema je pravi mali čudež, prisežem. Če vas zanima kaj več, sporočite v komentarju. :) Vsekakor pa priporočam, da se vpišete na Biodermo, testerji, sploh dobrih izdelkov, so zmeraj dobrodošla stvar preden se odločiš za nakup. :) 

Hvala za branje in vaš čas! :)
