Bunch of reviews ORIFLAME and Come-back giveaway

Dear Readers and Followers,

as I said in my previous post, a lot of things have changed for me, mostly good ones:)

I also had a chance to participate in Oriflame Slovenia review programme. I think I have already told you once that I'm their representative too.This is what I got into my mail, a more than generous package. So this post is going to be bilingual, hope you don't mind:) The products were provided by Oriflame, all the opinions are completely mine.

Drage Bralke/-ci,

kot sem že omenila v prejšnjem prispevku, se je v mojem življenju spremenilo veliko stvari, večina na bolje:)

Dobila sem priložnost sodelovati v ocenjevalnem programu Oriflame Slovenija, kjer sem članica že več kot 9 let. In to je paketek, ki sem ga prejela po pošti, več kot radodarno:) Izdelke mi je poslal Oriflame, vse ocene so izključno moje in na njih ni vplival nihče.

The products that I received are as follows/Prejela sem naslednje izdelke iz kataloga 8:

1) Giordani Gold Mineral Therapy foundation/puder in/v barvi Natural beige (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 12,49 €)

4) Amazonia Eau de Toilette/toaletna voda for Her/zanjo (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 7,99 €)

5) VeryMe Eye Crayon/Senčilo v barvici in/v barvi Burgundy (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 2,99 €)

9) Hair Shine Boost Serum for light hair/serum za sijaj za svetle lase ((now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 3,29 €)


Here are the ones I have tried so far and liked/To so izdelki, ki sem jih preizkusila in so mi bili všeč:

Oriflame Colour Breeze nail polish/lak za nohte in/v barvi Sun ( (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 3,99 €)

Amount/Količina: 7ml
Please enlarge the picture to see it better./ Povečajte sliko, da boste videle tega lepotca.
Lovely summery colour that looks perfect on sun tanned skin. Sunny yellow with small silver shimmer.
Krasna barva, ki izgleda odlično na zagoreli koži. Sončna rumena z drobnimi svetlikajočimi delčki.


What I liked/Kar mi je bilo všeč:
+ gorgeous colour/krasna barva
+long durability, I had it on my nails for at least a week, minor tipwear, and that's it/dolgo obstojen, imela sem ga na nohtih ves teden, obrabile so se samo konice
+ double brush/dvojni čopič
+ drying time, when you apply it thin it dries quite fast/čas sušenja, v tankih slojih se posuši res hitro


What I didn't like/Kar mi ni bilo tako všeč:
- application, the polish is really streaky, thus you need 3 coats to full coverage/ lak ni najbolj prekriven, 3 sloji do popolne prekrivnosti
- 7 ml


Overall/Skupno:
The colour is amazing, I don't own anything in my collection that looks similar to it, the price is 3,99 € for 7 ml, quite pricey, but if you buy it on sale it's still cheaper than its regular price 6,49 €). If you don't own a similar colour, than go for it. I will definitely use it again, although I dislike the application, but the durability is its advantage.

Prekrasna barva, v moji zbirki nimam ničesar podobnega, cena je 3,99 € za 7 ml, kar je kar precej, vendar še vedno ceneje takrat, ko je v akciji, drugače je cena 6,49 €. Če še nimate takšne barve, vam priporočam tale lak. Zagotovo ga bom še uporabila to poletje, čeprav mi nanos ni preveč všeč, njegova obstojnost odtehta vse to.

Essential Daily Scrub Cleanser/Dnevni čustilni peeling  (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 4,99 €)

Amount/Količina: 100 ml

A cleansing peelling you can use on a daily basis. Čistilni piling, ki ga lahko uporabljate vsak dan.

What I liked/Kar mi je bilo všeč:

+ it does its job/deluje odlično

+ smell/vonj

+ it moisturizes my skin/vlaži kožo

What I didn't like/Kar mi ni bilo tako všeč:

- hmm, I don't know if I see any disadvantages, perhaps the amount you get 100 ml for 4,99 €/ ne vem, če ima sploh kakšne minuse, morda cena, za 100 ml je 4,99 €, ko ni v akciji je 6,99 €

Overall/Skupno:

I love this product, it cleanses, peels softly my skin, and it moisturizes at the same time. Perfect! 

I can only recommend it. The price is a bit high for the amount you get, but it's worth it.

Ta izdelek je odličen, mojo kožo očisti, naredi nežen piling in jo obenem tudi nahrani. Res krasno! Cena je za količino morda malce visoka, vendar je je izdelek res vreden. Priporočam!

Hair Shine Boost Serum for light hair/serum za sijaj za svetle lase ((now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 3,29 €)

Amount/Količina: 50 ml

What they say it does:

A creamy serum that restores the natural shine of light hair. Infused with white pearl and containing the ProShine System, this serum creates a boost of healthy shine. (Source: Oriflame website.)

Kaj pravijo za ta izdelek:

Lahek serum s svetlikajočimi se svetlimi delci, ki dodajo sijaj svetlo rjavim in blond lasem. Vsebuje ProShine sistem, ki ustvari sijaj pri svetlejših laseh.

What I liked/Kar mi je bilo všeč:

+ that it's light/ res je lahek

+ soft shine/rahel sijaj

+ a little goes a long way/majhna količina zadostuje za dolgo

+ it doesn't make my hair greasy/ne masti las

What I didn't like/Kar mi ni bilo všeč:

- the serum I received was for light hair, mine, however, are darker, thus the effect wasn't that evident/ serum, ki sem ga prejela, je bil namenjen svetlih lasem, moji so temni, tako tudi učinek ni bil tako zelo opazen

Overall/Skupno:

I liked the serum, although I think I will try the version for darker hair. The effect was definitely there, the shine as you can see it on the pictures, but I suppose when using the darker one it will be more prominent.

I also liked that it didn't grease my hair, as they get greasy were soon, I have to wash them every 2 days:(

Serum mi je bil všeč, vendar bom poskusila še različico za temnejše lase. Učinek se je opazil, vendar ni bil tako zelo izrazit, saj imam temnejše lase. Všeč mi je bilo tudi to, da ne masti las, moji so zelo občutljivi, moram jih umivati na 2 dni.

I'm also trying the Oriflame BioClinic Adult Skin Anti-Breakout/dnevno-nočni tretma za akne pri odraslih,

I intend to use it for a month to see some real changes, right now it does it's job well.

Preizkušam še tudi Oriflame BioClinic Adult Skin Anti-Breakout/dnevno-nočni tretma za akne pri odraslih, nameravam ga uporabljati vsaj en mesec, da vidim razliko prej in sedaj, za zdaj učinkuje!

Look what I got:) huge amount of nail art supplies

Hello, dear readers and followers,

long time no hear or see from me:( I'm sorry, I really am, but my first year as a teacher really requires a lot of work and effort to be put into, to prepare all the needed material, powerpoints, etc. But enough about the work, let's get to the fun part, right;)

I while ago I was contacted by super friendly Jessica from the Born pretty store. A web site which carries various beauty and nail art products. I was given the option to choose among their products, and I chose the package of 100 fimo canes (which also included  2 spare rhinestone cases, a glue, as well as a great cutter for fimo canes (they're 10 in the package, so I suppose it really last long), love how you thin you can cut the canes!) and 3 x Nail Art Rhinestone Nail Art Lot Dotting pen W Glue (it comprises a set of dotting tools with 3 wheels of rhinestones in the shape of hearts, stars and the regular -circle ones, as well as 4 nail glues. I also got a bunch of orangewood sticks,  And also a piece of paper with transparent foil over it, there're some white spots on it, I don't know what it's for, but I suppose they're water decals, hmmm, have to figure it out:) The service is great, the package is delivered from Hong Kong, and it took it about 14 days to get to Slovenia.

This package is the biggest nail art supply I've ever got, can't wait to try everything out!

How about you? Which ones do you fancy the most? What do you think of the paper covered with foil? Could it be water decals? What are you personal experiences with nail art products? Which ones are a must have?

Thank you,dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Let's look at the photos, right;)

Covergirl LashBlast mascara review

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a great day!

No nails today, but some pics of me wearing Covergirl LashBlast mascara which I got in  my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. I've read some many reviews about this mascara I just couldn't wait to try it on and was super happy when I received it in Maria's package.

I'm sure you're seen many reviews too, how about another quick one ;) This piece of beauty is simply AMAZING! I can say it the best mascara I've come across with. There are 2 coats of it in the pics and no clumping or whatsoever. Just pure volume and length, that's all I need in my mascara :)

What's your favourite mascara of all time? Which ones would you like to try?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

My very first BarryM nail polish in Rasberry

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Not so long ago I got an email from the web shop named Ličila.si  in which they offered to send me BarryM nail polish for review. Of course I was interested, even more because I did not own any nail polish from this brand. BarryM was not available in Slovenia for a long time and Ličila.si is the only shop that sells this brand.

The colour I got is 273 Rasberry. Lovely and classic colour which looks great with any clothes you wear. The bottle holds 10ml of nail polish and it costs 4,45€. It is of jelly consistency and the best part is that it is fully coverable in 1 a bit thicker coat. In the pictures you see 1 coat of BarryM Rasperry over 1 coat of Poshe basecoat, there is also no topcoat in the pictures, as the polish is really glossy on itself. The brush is great too, easy to handle and to apply the polish, drying time is normal too, I did not do any cleanup after the polishing and I am extremely satisfied with that:)

Do you know BarryM brand and do you have any nail polish from this brand? How do you fancy the colour?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*


Pozdravljeni, dragi bralci in bralke:)

Pred kratkim sem prejela prijazen email iz spletne trgovine Ličila.si, v katerem so mi ponudili, da mi pošljejo lak BarryM znamke in da ga preizkusim. Seveda sem bila zelo vesela ponudbe, saj v moji zbirke še nimam nobenega lakca te znamke. Te znamke namreč dolgo ni bilo mogoče dobiti pri nas v Sloveniji, sedaj pa je na voljo samo v spletni trgovini Ličila.si.

Barva, ki sem jo prejela, je 273 Rasberry (Malina) in tudi lepo opiše barvo, ki je res ''malinasta'', polna rdeča barva, z visokim sijajem tudi brez nadlaka. Sam lak je jelly konsistence in krasno prekriva tudi s samo enim malce debelejšim slojem, kar je super! S čopičem sem bila zelo zadovoljna, lak lahko namreč naneseš zelo natančno in tudi kasnejše čiščenje ni bilo potrebno. Torej sem samo nalakirala in poslikala:) Slike so bile narejene na različnih osvetlitvah in z bliskavico oz. brez nje. Na slikah je 1 plast laka preko 1 plasti Poshe podlaka. Lak se posuši v normalnem času. Steklenička vsebuje 10ml laka in stane 4,45€.

Torej, kaj mislite o barvi? Že imate kakšen BarryM lak ali pa ga nameravate kupiti?

OPI Hong Kong Tiny Takeouts Swatches, lots and lots of pictures:)

As promised yesterday (see the post for colour description), I'm bringing you the swatches of OPI Hong Kong collection, more precisely the polishes which are in the Tiny Takeouts, generously sent to me by ZaPikoNaI, Slovenian nail polish distributor.

All polishes were applied in 2 coats, though I must say they have great coverage, perhaps one thicker coat would do. There is no top coat in the pictures, you can see that these polishes are super glossy. I also didn't have any difficulties when applying them, the pictures aren't pre-cleaned, the brush was really easy to handle although it's really small:) I was pleasantly surprized at how shiny they are. Pictures were taken in in direct sun, then in lightbox with artificial light w/- flash.

I just cannot help myself, my personal favourite is Dim sum plum:) How about yours?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

OPI Hong Kong Tiny Takeouts pics and GIVEAWAY reminder

 Hello, dear readers:)

how was your weekend? Did you get some new energy for the week? Me and my BF spent one day at the ski slopes in Rogla.

On Friday I got a package from Slovenian web store ZaPikoNaI which sells OPI, China Glaze, Orly, and Zoya at great prices. Its owner kindly sent me the mini polishes from the newest OPI collection Hong Kong to review and swatch. The four polishes are packed in the cutest little box which resembles the box you get at your favourite Chinese restaurant when you want to take your food with you, isn't it just cute?? :) In this Tiny takeouts box you get 3 colour polishes; Read my fortune cookie, Dim sum plum, and Suzi says Feng shui. You also get one bottle of RapiDry TopCoat. These tinny OPI bottles are just the cutest on Earth:) even though they contain only 3.75 ml/ 1/8 Fl. Oz. Pictures were taken in my lightbox with artificial light and flash.

The box says for Read my fortune cookie ''And this rich red is in my future'', it's a truly bright and rich red indeed  I even think it's the brightest red I own, and I own many:)

Dim sum plum is ''A berry delectable delicacy'' which certainly holds true:), though the colour looks more like a dark cyclamen colour to me than just berry.

Suzi says Feng shui is ''A serene cobalt blue to balance your yin yang'', it's an amazing colour, it reminds me of sea. It certainly has something special to it.

I'll post the swatches tomorrow. What do you think of this collection?Do you want to order some polishesfrom it? Or already have some?

You can still enter my 300+ followers giveaway, which you find HERE and it ends 21st March, so hurry up and get a chance to win some great prizes;)

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*
