Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick

Matné pery sú in už dlhšiu dobu a ja som konečne objavila ten správny matný rúž, ktorý pery nevysušuje. Tekuté rúže Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet sú na trhu už dlhšiu dobu a ani neviem prečo som ich v DMke stále obchádzala. Vlastne mi ich odporučil vyskúšať vizážista Boris, ktorý si ich obľúbil hlavne kvôli skvelej pigmentácii a tiež trvácnosti na perách. A mal úplnú pravdu. Tieto rúže sú užasné! Majú veľmi príjemnú textúru a po nanesení na pery pôsobia zamatovo jemne. Ďalším plusom je, že nezvýrazňujú prípadné šupinky na perách, tak ako iné matné rúže, čiže netreba pred nanesením robiť pracný peeling pier. Trvácnosť je tiež veľmi dobrá a po nanesení rúžu ráno mi farba na perách vydrží až do poobedia, neotláča sa na pohár a tiež zvládne aj obed. Čo sa týka farebných odtieňov, tak ma najviac upútal č.10 - Don't pink of if a č. 14 - Plum Plum Girl, no prijala by som trochu väčší výber nude odtieňov. Celkovo som veľmi spokojná s týmito tekutými rúžmi a nosím ich teraz každý deň počas dňa, ale aj na večer.

Skúšali ste už Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet tekuté rúže? Ktorý je váš obľúbený odtieň?

 

New In - Catrice

Minulý týždeň som sa vybrala do DMky využiť kupón na 25%-tnú zľavu z čistiacich prostredkov. Teda to bol pôvodný plán, aj keď som už dopredu vedela, že len pri Domestose a Cife to určite neskončí :) A tak som si prihodila do košíka aj zopár kúskov z Catrice stojanu. 

Z jesennej Check & Tweet Fall 2014 kolekcie ma zaujali rúže v tak trochu neklasickom tenkom balení. Z troch dostupných odtieňov som si vybrala červeno-hnedý C03 Brit Chick.

Má taký polo-matný finish, takže pery veľmi nevysušuje. Ak ale máte trochu popraskané pery, určite by som odporučila pred nanesením rúžu použiť bezfarebný balzam, aby ste si zbytočne nezvýraznili jemné šupinky na perách.

Môj nákup sa samozrejme nezaobišiel bez nového laku na nechty. Zaujal ma tento tmavo fialovo bordový odtieň First Class Up-Grape, ktorý má nádhernú farbu, avšak jeho konzistencia je trochu hustejšia....

Nanášanie tohto laku bola jedna veľká nočná mora :( Neviem, či len mne sa ušiel takýto štetec nepodarok, ale bolo priam nemožné spraviť si pekný oblúčik s takto tvarovaným štetcom. Po prvých dvoch nechtoch som to vzdala a musela som použiť štetec z iného laku, aby som si nechty mohla dolakovať. Len dúfam, že nie všetky Catrice štetce sú takto tvarované, lebo to by znamenalo veľké mínus u mňa.

Posledným kúskom je ceruzka na obočie v odtieni 030 Brow-n-eyed Peas, ktorá momentálne nahradila ceruzku na obočie od Essence v odtieni 02 Brown. Nemám výhrady ani voči jednej, obe sú mäkké, dobre sa nanášajú a oba odtiene mi farebne sedia. Jediný rozdiel je v tvare kefky. Catrice má na konci ceruzky kefku v tvare špirály a Essence má takú klasickú kefku na vrchnáčiku. Mne asi viac vyhovuje tá kefka v tvare špirály, s ktorou sa dá obočie pekne vytvarovať. No a aby mi ten tvar obočia aj držal, tak som si do košíka ešte prihodila aj Lash/ Brow Designer Gel - priesvitný gél na zafixovanie tvaru obočia (tiež sa dá použiť aj na mihalnice). Rýchlo zaschne a obočie drží na mieste - takže spokojnosť.

Kúpili ste si nedávno niečo od Catrice? Ako ste boli spokojné?

 

Rita Ora for Rimmel or another NOTD

Laky Rimmel si normálne nekupujem, keďže mám svoje iné obľúbené drogériové značky, ale tieto s potlačou Rity Ora na vrchnáčiku ma celkom zaujali. Viem, že nie sú určite ničím odlišné od klasických 60 seconds lakov, ale tá Rita splnila svoj účel a dva odtiene putovali do môjho košíka :) Vybrala som si odtieň 873 - Breakfast in bed vo svojej obľúbenej mentolovo-zeleno-modrej farbe (aj keď na fotkách vyzerá skôr do modra) v štýle Essie - Mint Candy Apple a 203 - Lose Your Lingerie, krásnu pastelovo-krémovo-ružovú farbu z rovnakej kategórie ako Essie - Fiji alebo OPI - Mod About You (ako keby som takýchto odtieňov nemala doma ešte dosť!). Oba kryli pekne už v dvoch vrstvách, ale ružový som pre istotu naniesla až tri krát, aby vyzeral dobre na fotkách. So schnutím neboli problémy, avšak ako vždy som použila aj Nubar top coat, ktorý schnutie značne urýchlil, takže neviem úplne zhodnotiť či by samotný Rimmel uschol za 60 sekúnd. Dúfam, že mi vydžia na nechtoch minimálne 4 dni - potom to budem môcť zhodnotiť ako úplne skvelú kúpu, kedže stáli iba niečo pod 2 Eurá :)

Products used:

Rimmel - Lose Your Lingerie

My Dior Story with a happy end

Today I want to share with you my very positive experience with Dior I've had recently. Let's start with a purchase of my long time wanted Dior perfume - Miss Dior Chérie. Every time I went around the Dior counter I sprayed it on my wrist and loved it. As my birthday was coming closer I knew what present I was getting - my husband bought it for me at the Duty-free shop. I wore it couple of times and realized that it smells somehow different than the one I tried so many times in the shop. The fact it didn't last long enough on my skin was also a big disappointment. Normally when you wear a new perfume you can smell it constantly on your skin for the first few days - but Chérie wasn't the case. Then I've googled it and found out that Dior changed a formula of this perfume and I'd got this new edition.

I've contacted the Dior customer services and explained what the problem was and that I'm not happy with my new Chérie at all :( They have kindly offered me that I can send the perfume back to their main office in France (for examination) and choose another product in the same value. I got sooo excited...... but I didn't want to get a perfume again so I went for 5 Couleurs and Poudre Shimmer (even though I really wanted Diorskin Nude Glow, but unfortunately it was unavailable).
I was dealing with lovely ladies (Stéphanie, Nadjaah, Aliya) who ensured the parcel was delivered to me even after two unsuccessful attempts. I'm very pleased with the customer service I received from them!

Ok that's enough of writing, let's have a look at the products:

I've picked the eyeshadows - 5 Couleurs in 754 Rose Tan and highlighter Poudre Shimmer in 002 Amber Diamond

Both products are amazing quality and I feel so special when using them because even the packaging on it's own is very pretty.

The colours in the eyeshadow palette are great for creating nude, everyday eyes. I like to apply the colour in the middle to my inner corner (I'll do a FOTD post using this lovely palette soon.)

There are already too many reviews on the Poudre Shimmer highlighter, but anyway I still want to mention that this product is sooooo great... you have to try yourself to understand what I mean :) It gives just the perfect glow to your cheekbones - bright but not too glittery.

Sigma E25 brush review

Sigma has very kindly send me their E25 blending brush in a travel size for a review. On the Sigma website this brush is described as: 

Oval-shaped brush with gently chiseled sides. Blends and softens the look of powder or cream shadows. Ideal to apply eye shadow primer, base eye shadow colors, and blend harsh lines.

And I completely agree with them. This brush is ideal for blending either cream or powder eyeshadow into your crease and you can also use it for applying eyeshadow all over your lid or above your crease. It's basically multi purpose and the final effect is always perfect!

And here is a short demo how I used this brush. I went for a bright green look.

I applied a green cream base from the Sleek i-DIVINE Primer Palette 

 

 Then I took my Sigma blending brush and blended the harsh edges as follows:

Nicely blended edges: 

Then I applied Barry M Duzzle Dust no. 72 - Emerald

And blended again:

 

 

To finish the look I applied Urban Decay Half Baked above my crease, Mac Vanilla in my inner corners, Barry M Duzzle Dust no. 44 - Bronze at the bottom inner lash line, Mac Blacktrack fluidline as an eyeliner and Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara.

 If I had to choose only one brush from my collection it'd definitely be the blending brush!

Lush Haul

I can't believe that I discovered Lush just now (after 5 1/2 years living in the UK!) I've read about it now and then on some blogs but never actually went to the shop.....until Saturday.... lots of blogers were raving about it so I thought I check it out :)

These goodies caught my eyes so I picked them up (and I love them all already):

• Rub Rub Rub
• Ocean Salt
• Bubble Gum
• Big Blue
• Stepping Stone
• Karma

All Lush products are organic, not tested on animals and smell amazing! They are fresh handmade and individually labeled with a cute little sticker of use by date and picture of person who made the product.

Karma Bubble Bar - it's fragrance is described as orange, patchouli and lemongrass.... you simply crumble it under the water whilst the taps are running and it creates an amazing froth and makes the water sooooo smooth :) love it!

Stepping Stone Foot Scrub - contains pumice and sea salt, smells citrusy.... good exfoliator for my dry feet..

Karma Bubble Bar & Stepping Stone Foot Scrub

Big Blue Bath Bomb - I haven't tried it yet, but it's that kind of thing you drop in the water and it frizzes away... it contains seaweed, lemon and lavender oil... I'm so excited to try it out! I'll probably cut it in half as it's quite big and use it twice :)

Big Blue Bath Bomb

Ocean Salt - scrubby ocean cocktail :) I've already used it twice and my skin was never so soft.... it's very salty, you can even taste it on your lips :) it also contains vodka infused limes (couldn't taste any vodka though (: ) and avocado butter.... they recommend to use it daily if your skin is oily (like mine is), but I stick with twice a week...:)

Ocean Salt

Rub Rub Rub - shower scrub - I also used it twice and it's just gorgeous... makes your body so clean and smooth.... it contains sea salt but not in such a big chunks as Ocean Salt... it's got more like gel consistency.... I'd definitely recommend this one :)

Rub Rub Rub

...and last but not least....

Bubble Gum - lips scrub - smells and taste like sweet candies... removes all dead skin from your lips... and the best part is that once you use it you can lick it from your lips :) yummy:)
