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.

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!

A new brand to me: Ingrid Cosmetics and NOTD, perfect for Valentine

Hello, dear readers and followers,

today I've got a new brand Ingrid cosmetics which I stumbled across in Tuš drogerije in Maribor. I've heard of it before and when  I saw this pretty I just could not stop myself grabbing it:) Can you blame me;)

This polish is a gorgeous red with tinny red and gold glitter-shimmer and it covers greatly with 2 coats, though I think if you have shorter nails one would be just OK:) Somewhat the polish didn't want to be photographed, at least the shimmer/glitter part of it.

What do you think? Have you heard of this brand? Perhaps own something of it?

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

OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE swatch and NOTD, and yes, I'm still here:)

Hello, dear readers and followers,

I know it has been just too long from my last post, but the work has taken too much of my spare time. I hat to step in for one of my work collegues who wasn't feeling too well, so when I came back from work, I just had no strenght to do anything, not even polish my nails. I have some photos of my unpublished manicures which I plan to post one after another.

Here is one of them, a gorgeous polish I'm sure you all know, namely the OPI Lincoln park after dark SUEDE. There are 2 coats in the pictures, although I think of you're careful one would be just OK. I love the effect, how about you??

Do you own any of the SUEDE polishes? What do you think of them?

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

China glaze Rich&famous swatch and NOTD - pics gallore

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

It's Wednesday already, the days seem to rush when I'm at work, and the spare time is being reduced to minumum. But I like it so far;)

The polish I have for you today is China glaze Rich&Famous, a bright pink cream which was somehow difficult to photograph. The pictures taken with flash and indoors are quite colour accurate. It a great summer polish and if you want the feeling of the summer to return, try it;) There are 2 coats in the pictures, over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2 and one coat of INM OutTheDoor topcoat. Though the colour is pretty much glossy on it self.

How do you fancy this colour? Have you got any similar ones?

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

Zoya Lana swatch and pic spam

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Another post from the vault, this time with another gorgeous polish I got in the swap with Maria from R3Daily. It's Zoya Lana from the Reverie collection.

I'm sure you've seen it somewhere on the blog sphere. It's reddish orange coloured polish with great duochrome shimmer that changes colour from gold to green. Hope the pictures show it well, this pretty was a bit difficult to photograph.

There are 3 coats in the pictures, except in the first 2, where there are only 2 coats. You can get away just with 2, but I added another one to achieve more depth. There's also 1 coat of INM OuttheDoor top coat over it.

Do you own any polishes from the Reverie collection? What do you think of them?

How do you like this colour?

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

ps. I'm preparing a small giveaway (and then a large one when I hit 700 followers and to celebrate the first anniversary;)

Chameleon: Alessandro 261 swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're having a fantastic weekend!

The manicure I have for you today is a true chameleon, it switches colours from green, blue to purple, depending on the light and angle. I wasn't able to capture its beauty perfectly, but still here are the shots. The pretty's name is Alessandro 261 and it was apart of their Vamp collection, released in 2009. There are 2 coats in the pictures with 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat over it.

How do you like the colour? DO you own any Alessandro nail polishes? What are your experiences with them?

China glaze Aztec orange swatch and NOTD - and an apology

Hello, dear readers and followers,

long time no see, or better read.

I've got a full time job at school, so I'm super duper busy at the moment, it might take a while to get used to everything, to get all the things done.

The posts that come will consist of swatches I did in the last months but haven't published them yetand the number of post will be slightly reduced, I hope you understand. This job came all of a sudden, I never thought it would come so soon.

Here's one of them - China glaze Aztec orange which isn't really that orange-like but it's more of a brigth red colour, almost a neon. There are 2 coats in the pictures without a top coat.

Thank you for your understanding, wishing you a nice and polished Friday:*

Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

how are you? It's Wednesday already :)

Today's polish and NOTD is Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors, a silver foil polish I got in my swap with Maria from R3 Daily. It's super flashy and shiny, it's really a smoky version of silver. There are 2 coats in the pictures over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. I also added 1 coat of OPI RapiDry top coat.

Do you own any Sonia Kashuk nail polishes? This is my very first polish from this brand, and I'm loving it! What are your experiences? Do you own any similar colours?
