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 €)

2) Amazonia Face cream/krema za obraz (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 3,99 €)

3) Amazonia Eau de Toilette/toaletna voda for Him/zanj (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 7,99 €)

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 €)

6) Oriflame BioClinic Adult Skin Anti-Breakout/dnevno-nočni tretma za akne pri odraslih   (now on sale/zdaj v akciji za 18,99 €)

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


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


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!

BACK from the dead! Giveaway winner and update on the me :)

Dear Readers and Followers,

Hope you still remember me :)

I know it has been far too long since my last post, but so many things happened in my life.

Let give you a brief up-date to let you know what was going on while I was away.

First of all, I went to a summer school on Contemporary English in Cambridge last summer for 2 weeks.

As I knew that at school  where I worked wouldn't be place for me after my mentor returned from her maternity leave, 

my boyfriend and I decided to move away from his parents into our own home, so we bought a flat and started re-decorating it. It took  quite a while and had us totally busy as we mostly did everything by ourselves, but the end effect was of course worth it.

So I lost my job, but we got our own apartment :) 

For a while I worked in Austria, however, the distance was just too far for everyday drive, and the moving away of course couldn't be considered, as we just moved into out new flat.

Then after a few weeks of thinking, whining :) and such I finally started doing what I learned for - translating, and so far things have gone pretty well (for a month or so). Thus I translate mainly from English / German into my mother tongue Slovenian.

I know I have some unfinished business to attend to, I have already picked the winner from my last year's giveaway (there were so many entries I had to take a lot of time to sort them all out, then I chose the Random number generator to pick a number), and this is the person behind it:

Congratulations, sweety!
I will send you the email for confirmation.


So these were my past ''sins'', I did not give up polishing so expect some more pics and nail art from me in the future as well as some exciting reviews.

Love you all!


Till next time, kisses and hugs!

Anita alias KONADomania

EDIT: I'm just getting familiar with the new blogger, quite many new features! Have to get used to them:)

Music to my ears KOTD m73 + matte holo

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

A new week ahead and a new updated manicure, too. Over Glitter Gal Fuchsia I used China glaze Harmony and Konad image plate m73. In the end I mattified the whole manicure with China glaze Matte magic (last pic). However, I think I like the glossy one better.

How about you? Which mani do you prefer?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*

Never enough HOLO, how about a pink Glitter gal

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day, so let's see some nail polish goodness in the sun right? I received this polish in my swap with Michelle from Cosmetic Cupcakes. The brand is Glitter gal, the shade Fuchsia (gorgeous pinkish holographic polish with a hint of red in it), great coverage, two coats needed, and drying time was splendid, too. There's 1 coat of top coat in the pics.

How do you like this polish? Do you know the brand? Have you got any other holo polishes from it?

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

Fresh Air Fund foundation

Hello, dear readers and followers!

How are you doing on this lovely day?? Haven't heard from me for a while, right? I just wasn't able to post as often as I would like due to my work at school. But I have made some manicures in the meantime and taken pictures of them, of course, so I'll post these ASAP. Thank you who participated in the giveaway! There are so many entries, it might take some time to sort them out, but I'll do my best:)

I was also contacted and asked to help by spreading the word for Fresh Air foundation which enables children to spend quality time in the country and subburbs. They are in need of host families, and you my lovely readers from USA and Canada are requested to give a helping hand. For more information please visit their SITE.

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