Beauty things I LOVE on everyday basis: Lush, Bourjois, Too Faced, RMS Beauty, Artdeco...


Having a first, non-student job is stressful. My beauty routine quickly became condensed for early mornings so goodbye experiments, you'll have to wait until weekend. I finally see how cruical it is to have a solid array of makeup that serves well for 8+ hours. What's in my everyday drawer? Let's see.

SLO
Imam svojo prvo, pravcato ne-študentsko službo. In šele zdaj občutim pomanjkanje ur v samem dnevu. Kako zaboga bom zdaj preizkušala vse nove kose ličil (ki jih še vedno pridno dodajam)? Tedenska rotacija ličil včasih pomaga. Ampak raje podržim kakšne favorite malce dlje. Že več kot mesec ali dva ''zlorabljam'' ene in iste produkte...

Urban Decay Heat Palette, Backdoor Lipstick, Sin Highlighter: Review & Makeup Look


Urban Decay Naked Heat palette got me thinking like: ''It's absolutely beautiful but this will never work on my fair skintone.'' 

I've proved myself wrong. I've challenged myself to use only Naked Heat over the past week and it delivered like any other Naked edition. I'm pleased with my Urban Decay Naked Heat palette, although I have really light skin and a neutral undertone. It has sufficient array of light and dark colors, 7 matte shades for the crease and fun shimmery coppers with hidden duochrome effect.

Urban Decay Naked Heat paleta mi je vlila mešane občutke: ''Izgleda čudovito vendar odtenki niso za mojo svetlo kožo.''

Sama sebi sem dokazala ravno nasprotno, saj sem si prejšnji delovni teden zadala poseben izziv. Da izkoristim Naked Heat paleto vsak dan v tednu, brez izjeme. Izkazalo se je, da sem z naborom odtenkov čisto zadovoljna. Paletka Naked Heat ima dovolj svetlih in temnih odtenkov, več kot dovolj mat odtenkov (kar 7 jih je) in presenetljivo zanimive ''šimraste'' bakrene odtenke.

MAC Makeup Look with Favorites: Ruby Woo, Patina and Soft & Gentle Skinfinish

mac makeup look with favorites

It's so hard to admit that I like MAC Ruby Woo more than I've ever imagined. It made me reconsider my hatred toward specific red shades all over again. In fact, I was picking up the wrong shades the whole time (there are some exceptions khm). How bizzare is that for a beauty blogger? 

SLO
Veliko se vrtim okoli rdečih ustnic in to težko priznam, glede na to, da sem se oklicala kot sovražnico klasične rdeče šminke. Ravno klasična MAC Ruby Woo mi je odprla nova obzorja rdeče, ki je še nisem poznala. In me spravila v dilemo, če sem v vseh teh letih sploh izbirala pravi odtenek rdeče zase? Seveda se je med raziskovanjem našlo nekaj posebnih rdečih odtenkov, ki se me še zdaj zdržijo, vendar nobeden od teh ni klasična mat rdeča šminka. Kar malo žalostno, glede na to da sem lepotna blogerka kajne?

Best of Essence Cosmetics: 15th Pinky Anniversary

happy birthday Essence 15 years

Happy, pink and playful - it's all that Essence have been for 15 years! Crazy, right? Time flies so fast and I can still remember the day I bought my first Essence lipstick. And mascara. And eyeliner. Basically, I had it all in my teenage years. And I still use my holy grail Essence items to this day. Not to mention regular updates - I can never pass their shelves without trying at least one new thing. So yeah Essence, I wish you a wonderful, pinky celebration and even more to come. A pinky lipstick a day, keep the bad mood away!

New L'Oreal makeup on test: Lip Paints, Infallible Blush Palettes & XFiber mascara

new l'oreal makeup 2017 paint it loud

Blush palettes, lipsticks and iconic mascara - all new and glamed up? L'Oreal gives no mercy and all new releases look top notch. I'm in love with Infaillible Blush Paints and I'm still swooning over Lip Paints in two different textures. All colours are right up my alley, including red Lip Paint and coral blush palette, which I usually skip. Actually Amber Blush Paint even beat out my usual pink flushes as it has lovely, shimmery NARS kind-of shades.

Fresh, Everyday Look with new Rimmel makeup: Fresher Skin foundation, Kate Sculpting Palette


Rimmel has been always competitive with their foundations and lipsticks ever since I've entered the world of UK makeup. And that was far before Rimmel even decided branching through Europe so intensely. Rimmel has both - great, firm launches while some leave me cold-hearted and uninspired. However, I still believe they're best in making mascaras, foundations and lipsticks. I'm really happy to see newer launches such as Fresher Skin foundation, Kate Sculpting Palette and The Only 1 Matte lipstick in my makeup drawers - you should definitely at least quickly scroll down to check swatches, colors and quick but naturally glowy makeup look with only Rimmel products.

All NEW Makeup on my Vanity: Sephora Haul, Drugstore & more



If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably noticed I've been enjoying my time in Spain. There's no better way than Valencia to merge beaches, aquarium, city break, beautiful architecture and shopping in one. Spain is like a meet point of all makeup around the world - from highly concentrated Sephora on every corner, to UK and European drugstores, up to Korean variety of Tony Moly. Sticking to Sephora, I've been excited to finally pick additional Too Faced pieces. I could say it's one of my favourite brands but it's a pain in the ass buying it online or finding their counter in Europe. Also, Kat Von D is exclusively sold in Sephora so I won't even lose words on that.

New makeup at L'Oreal and Maybelline



L'Oreal Paris and Maybelline are blooming just when we thought they won't. A new extensive set of products stormed into our drugstores before we've (almost) quit. Maybelline made some drastic changes while L'Oreal released some pretty sweet pieces as well. L'Oreal Superstar line with the front star J.Lo is all about black, big and dramatic.


Remember past 2-phase mascaras with white side for dramatic, spidery lashes? Well, L'Oreal Paris re-started everything all over again. This time, improved L'Oreal False Lash Superstar Mascara (15,65€, drugstores like DM, Muller) brings big and voluminous lashes without clumps. Natural is not the flirting word with this mascara. White base makes lashes thicker and pronounced while second layer gives ultra black finish. First white layer has a same-like consistency as regular mascara, no fibers or particles whatsoever. I was personally always a fan of these kind of mascaras and I still remember my first golden L'Oreal tube in high school. The brush shape is nothing extra. Keep in mind, that this mascara does clump lashes a bit but I personally love big, almost spidery lashes. Visible and huge lashes make me happy. Can't say it's my favourite but I like the finished result altogether. If you're still grieving the past version, I'm sure you'll love new one as well.



L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar (10,19€, drugstores) might be the best eyeliner that I've ever tried. Yes indeed, your ultimate eyeliner freak likes this thingie so much. Bendable brush tip is just perfect for adjusting to your eye shape. Ultra black formula is strong enough to be layered over powder eyeshadows. Ah, I just hate when an eyeliner stops working because of layering over powder products. Does that happen to you too? Well, not anymore. I've been using this product for over several months now and it's still running smoothly. On top of all, it doesn't crease on bare eyelids. It's almost as waterproof and doesn't crack with movement. Finish is not matte but rather satin smooth. 5 Stars from me!





Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Palette (11,90€, drugstores like DM and Muller) is a rather delightful discovery on our drugstore shelves. Pigmentation is way better and improved in comparison to original The Nudes palette (review here). If you love new Essence palettes with super buttery eyeshadows, this has almost the same formula. They are richly pigmented and quite soft as they tend to crumble with high pressure. Still, I had no problems wearing them all day - only the darker shades slightly faded in intensity. No creasing or transferring whatsoever. Also, shade combination is pretty unique but still in the rows of neutral and mauve. Swatches are made without a primer, on bare skin!







Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick (6,99€ a piece, drugstores) are my personal gems out of them all. I was so drawn to them, that I even managed to infect my co-workers. Finally, new matte lipsticks on our market. Well, not so much. They are actually in the same category as NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, moussey and airy in texture. Above all, I got some feedback that the brighter shades actually don't dry up totally matte with time. And yes, I totally understand that it is a pretty good argument to be upset about them. Still, I choose the nudest out of them all - Nude Thrill, a brownish peach, and Nude Flush, modern mauve rose. I need to emphasise that I personally love them. They're not totally matte but rather a satin finish. They apply as soft mousse lipglosses with a bit of shine. Shine tends to disappear (at least on these 2 nude shades) within an hour or two. You're left with a comfortable formula that lasts up to 5 hours. It's not the most long wearing product on the market, but the nice feel on the lips repays it all. As a note, be careful at choosing colours. Possessed Plum is apparently the patchiest out of them all. Oh, and I bought both of them on my own - not to be mistaken. 







Don't forget to blot Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipsticks with a tissue, if you prefer more of a satin-matte finish. It makes all the difference, while formula is still comfortable and mousse-like. Color is slightly less intense and saturated but still wonderful.



My highlight is definitely the L'oreal Paris Superstar Eyeliner, which quickly became my ultimate necessity. Also, I'm religiously wearing my nude Vivid Matte Liquids everyday. Maybelline The Blushed Nudes and L'Oreal Superstar are favourites too, just not as intensely. Be careful before purchasing Vivid Matte Liquids - just to be clear, if you're on a hunt after super duper matte lipstick, Vivid Matte Liquid is not ''THE IT''. Maybelline and L'Oreal Paris are available worldwide in almost any nearby drugstore (DM, Tuš Drogerija, Muller for Slovenia).

Intro to Bobbi Brown & My Starter Kit Review


Recent Bobbi Brown Event was pure heaven for my soul. After indepth reading of Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual (that I got for Christmas upon my wish), I was feeling pretty excited to finally met Eduardo Ferreira, global makeup artist for Bobbi Brown. It was like....meeting a close Jesus' relative after intensely reading the Bible. Yes, Eduardo Ferreira is that cousin. With his master skills and charismatic appearance, I was once more falling in love with makeup. My love glance had no limit and I was absorbing every single word he said. He re-created Bobbi Brown's philosophy perfectly, as almost she was on the event herself. Bobbi Brown philosophy charms with enhancing natural beauty. Forget contouring, strobing is several years long philosophy from Bobbi Brown. Glowy skin, big lashes and innocent looking cheeks are the way to go. To read more about Bobbi Brown Event itself, go to my fellow blogger Lippie Hippie.

SLO
Bobbi Brown dogodek je bil zame skoraj nadnaraven. Kot bi po zavzetem prebiranju Biblije srečali bližnjega sorodnika samega Jezusa, ne pretiravam. Tako jaz dojemam Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual, lepotno knjižno biblijo za vse ženske. Po intenzivnem prebiranju, vse odkar sem jo dobila v dar za Božič (spet sveta prispodoba, kakšno naključje), sem v začetku novega leta prav vzhičeno pričakovala Bobbi Brown dogodek. Eduardo Ferreira, umetniški direktor in vodja izobraževanj pri Bobbi Brown, ni razočaral s svojo karizmo in neverjetnimi lepotnimi napotki. Da, to je ta sorodnik Jezusa. Enostavno je očaral s svojmi tehnikami ličenja in poustvaril samo filozofijo Bobbi Brown, kot bi bila le-ta tudi na našem majhnem, a slovensko velikem dogodku. Bobbi Brown filozofija očara s poudarkom naravne lepote, kar privlači ženske in poenostavi marsikatero ličenje zgodaj zjutraj. Bodimo iskreni, vse ženske imamo prenatrpane urnike in premalo časa. Tisti čar, sijaj in iskrivost pa lahko poenostavimo v majhen ritual, ki bo poudaril naše dobre poteze in skril nepravilnosti. Več o samem dogodku si lahko preberete na blogu Lippie Hippie.

Bobbi Brown makeup is masterpiece. Textures are perfectly balanced and the simplicity of packaging is making the products stand out. They are proffessional yet easy to use without unnecessary colour spectrum. The most famous product along Bobbi Brown Corrector is Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks. It's a multi-purpose breath of fresh colour for your lips and cheeks in a cream form. Cream blush looks instantly natural on your cheeks, while it gives perfect pigmentation to your lips. Who doesn't like matching lipstick and blush anyway? Formula joins with the skin as one and gives a lift to your face. They are highly pigmented yet enough blendable for beginners. Pot Rouge comes in several different tones, all carefully selected for every skintone. Pale Pink 11 shade is perfect for fair, light and medium skintones as it gives freshness and a pop of colour.

Bobbi Brown izdelki so mojstrski, popolnost tekstur in ličnost izdelkov tvori nepozabno profesionalno ličenje. Med najbolj odmevnimi je vsekakor večnamenski Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks, primeren za dodajanje živahnosti na lička in ustnice. Kremna formula se naravno spoji s teksturo kože in doda videz svežine. Ob stiku s kožo tvori kremno teksturo, ki je obenem zelo pigmentirana in obstojna. Kljub dobri pigmentaciji, ga lahko enostavno zabrišejo tudi začetnice v ličenju. Bobbi Brown odtenki so naravni in ustvarjeni za vsak ten kože. Pale Pink 11 odtenek je kot nalašč ustvarjen za svetlopolte, saj odtenek deluje naravno, hkrati pa poživi obraz. Vsestranskost z lahkoto upraviči malce višjo ceno.







Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara is a pitch black mascara to emphasize your natural lashes. It truly has one of the most darkest formulas on the market, perfectly fitting the concept of smokey eyes. With each stroke of mascara, you'll be left with perfect volume and bushy lashes. It's not the best at lengthening but tops other mascaras just fine. For those visible lashes you've always wanted. Texture is just enough wet, while the brush will appeal to majority. Also, note that the formula stays fresh for several months. It's the perfect black weapon for every woman, that's why, Smokey Eye Mascara got a lot of attention beforehand. Do I sense a newly released Bobbi Brown mascara?

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara je ena izmed najtemnejših maskar, primernih za vsakršni ''smokey look''. Z vsakim nanosom bo maskara podarila še večji volumen, večjo dramatičnost in hkrati definicijo. Trepalnice lepo loči, hkrati pa naredi dovolj opazne, da ni potrebe po dodatni definiciji oči. Sama bi še želela malce več podaljšanja, sem pa kljub temu zadovoljna s poudarjenimi in košatimi trepalnicami. Najraje jo kombiniram z ostalimi maskarami za podaljšanje, saj poda na koncu še bolj črn poudarek in definicijo. Tekstura je ravno dovolj gosta, hkrati pa lepo ohranja svežino same formule. Trepalnice so po Bobbi Brown pomembno orožje vsake ženske, zato je kultna Smokey Eye Mascara nepogrešljiva v vsaki kozmetični torbici.



My first Bobbi Brown splurge was Long-Wear Cream Shadow in Galaxy 9. I've heard many praises of their stick and cream eyeshadows so I blindly bought my first Bobbi Brown product. In terms of colour, it's a multi-dimensional khaki-silver with brown tones and golden pink shimmer. Pretty unique and spectacular as the name suggests. However, pigmentation is not my friend. Galaxy is semi-sheer so you need at least 2-3 coats to make it fully opaque. It's probably Bobbi Brown's intention as other nude shades look perfectly pigmented. Still, I love to layer it under my normal everyday shadows to make them more dimensional. In terms of longevity, it's pretty budge-proof on my eyelids. It's not a must have but you surely won't miss it out on Bobbi Brown counter.

Moj prvi Bobbi Brown nakup je zajemal Long-Wear Cream Shadow, kremno senčilo v odtenku Galaxy 9. Senčilo me je na prvi pogled očaralo z dimenzionalnostjo in prelivajočim odtenkom, medtem ko sem slišala veliko pohval na njihov račun. Galaxy je zatorej težko opredeljiv, kombinacija zamolkle sive in ''kaki'' ter rustikalno zlate kar kliče po odsevu. Na moje razočaranje je kremno senčilo malce prozorno, kar sicer ni značilno za ostala kremna senčila v tej liniji. Verjetno je namerno malce prosojno, da se lažje sloji. Senčilo se obdrži na veki tudi brez baze, obenem pa lepo poudari vsakodnevna senčila. Tekstura in formula sta mi všeč, vendar bi si želela popolno prekrivnost. Nevtralni odtenki v barvi kože so sicer čudovito pigmentirani. Galaxy ima upravičeno ime, saj je poln reflektivnih delcev, ki na svetlobi odsevajo zlato ali nežno roza barvo. 





BOBBI BROWN FACE
Bobbi Brown face is fresh, glowy and youthful. There are no signs of heavy textures or powders but rather, there's a thin layer of lightweight foundation and their cult Correctors. Bobbi Brown is a queen when it comes to colour-correcting and covering up dark circles. It's a must for making your face looking fresh and youthful. Eyes are only defined and highlighted with earthy tones, while you can express yourself with bold mascara application and soft eyeliner. I used Smokey Eye Mascara for that pitch black effect. Brows are only corrected. Lips and cheeks shine as rose petals with Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in colour Pale Pink. Bobbi Brown believes that all women naturally blush pink so please, no peaches or browns.

BOBBI BROWN OBRAZ
Bobbi Brown obraz je svež, naraven in iskriv. Ni znakov težkega pudra, obenem pa poudarja najboljše poteze obraza. Lahkotne teksture pudrov prekrijejo ravno dovolj, medtem ko korektorji v odtenkih breskve poskrbijo za tako nadležne temne kolobarje. Korektorji (Correctors) so srce in duša Bobbi Brown. Tudi oči se le nežno poudarijo, sicer najlažje s kakšno nevtralno šampanjec barvo in drobcem reflektivne senčke na sredini veke. Obrvi se samo poudari, maskaro pa lahko radodarno slojite na vaše trepalnice. Temnejše so trepalnice, lepši je pogled. Smokey Eye Mascara sem zato nanesla na spodnje in zgornje trepalnice. Ustnice in lička naj ostanejo čimbolj naravna, svežino pa se lahko doda z nežnim dotikom Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks. Sama sem uporabila odtenek Pale Pink na ustnicah in ličkih, saj Bobbi Brown verjame, da je roza najbolj naraven odtenek za lica. Nobena ženska na svetu ne zardi marelično ali rjavo.



Along with all fantastic products, I warmly suggest to at least browse through Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual book. It's a fantastic example of techniques, makeup looks, makeup tips and professional makeup applications. It's a staple for anyone, who loves venturing into makeup world. Bobbi Brown is available worldwide and don't forget to check out Bobbi Brown online site for updates. 

Prav tako priporočam vpogled v Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual knjigo, ki je odlična za začetnice kot tudi mojstrice ličenja. V njej so čudovito predstavljene tehnike za ličenje, različni videzi, potrebni izdelki za mojstrsko ličenje in njene male skrivnosti za lepšo kožo. Je čudovita osnova za vsakogar, ki se spogleduje z ličenjem. Knjigo lahko prelistate tudi v edinem Bobbi Brown kotičku v Sloveniji - Müller drogerija na Čopovi ulici. Poleg listanja knjige si lahko podrobno ogledate vse izdelke Bobbi Brown, vključno z omejenimi kolekcijami. Upam, da ste tudi vi občutili moje občudovanje do te znamke, hkrati pa bi se zahvalila ekipi Orbico in Müller Slovenija za tako enkraten in nepozaben dogodek.

My Artdeco Spring Look: Beauty Meets Fashion

Artdeco created his Spring 2016 collection in collaboration with Talbot Runhof, a successful brand under the fingertips of two designers. Their collaboration is not a new thing as they were gathering ideas in the past. This time, Artdeco went all out with floral print, navy sailor lines and high intensity colours. This romantic yet bold collection of makeup is truly inspirational to try out different, ''out of the box'' looks. Fashion and beauty truly go hand in hand. What better way to announce upcoming spring...

SLO
Artdeco je v sodelovanju z Talbot Runhof, ki je že skoraj tradicionalno, zacvetel v vsej veličini pomladnih barv. Talbot Runhof je namreč uspešen butik dveh oblikovalcev, ki sta vedno v koraku s trendi. Sveže cvetje, mornarske črte in barve modnih trendov so ujete v prikupno in zelo barvito zbirko ličil Beauty Meets Fashion. Hkrati drzna a romantična interpretacija, nakazuje da se moda in lepota resnično lepo ujameta v paru. Ali je sploh še kako bolje naznaniti pomlad kot s pisanim šopkom cvetja?


I've never really had any experiences with Artdeco mascaras, but there is something special about this particular Volume Supreme Mascara (13,95€). I've heard many praises beforehand and my expectations were high. Silicone mascara wand is actually perfect for getting those perfect, combed through lashes with fair lengthening. It gives a bit of volume and a lot of length while lashes look sophisticated without any clumps. Formula is lovely, not too liquidy yet it holds the curl. I generally hate extra liquidy formula like Maybelline's. Also, I don't feel you need any extra help from lash curler, the mascara is actually that good. Along with separate false eyelashes, I've also used this mascara in my spring look. Love at first try! I might convert into Artdeco mascara fan after all.

Pred preizkušnjo Volume Supreme Maskare (13,95€, Muller & na spletu) še nikoli nisem imela izkušenj z Artdeco maskarami. Slišala sem že kar nekaj pohval iz različnih smeri, vendar sem nekako vedno pozabila konkretno raziskati to področje. Bila sem zadovoljna z mojo redno izbiro, vendar me je nova Volume Supreme Maskara navdušila s prvim poizkusom. Trepalnice dobro poudari (čimbolj opazne, tem boljše), vendar jih kljub temu ne zlepi po nekaj nanosih. Silikonska krtačka trepalnice lepo loči, poda volumen in jih opazno podaljša brez dodatnega truda. Krtačka je univerzalna in bo všeč večjemu delu publike, saj je dobra srednja mera velikosti in tudi oblike. Formula je ravno pravšnja, ne pre-tekoča ne pre-gosta. Sovražim zelo tekoče formule, ki se ponavadi ne obdržijo dobro na mojih svetlih in dokaj kratkih trepalnicah. Prav tako maskara dobro obdrži dvig trepalnic sama po sebi. Težko sem navdušena nad novo maskaro takoj po odprtju, vendar me je tale prepričala s prvim nanosom. Mogoče pa se od danes naprej držim le Artdeco maskar...


Mineral Eye Styler (8,95€) is already a staple on Artdeco shelves, new is only colour in 90 Mineral Navy Blue. It's a blackened creamy shade with subtle navy blue sheen. It's waterproof and longlasting, perfect for adding a bit of depth to your inner eye area or smudged liner flick. Due to creamy formula, you can also use it as a base for all navy eyeshadows. It's opaque and buildable.

Mineral Eye Styler svinčnik za oči (8,95€, Muller & na spletu) je že dejansko nekaj časa na Artdeco policah, vendar se je skupini pridružil nov odtenek 09 Mineral Navy Blue. Svinčnik je baziran na črni barvi in ima dokaj subtilen mornarsko moder pridih. Kremna formula je popolna za vse, tako za ''zadimljen videz'' kot tudi nadomestek tekočega črtala. Kremna tekstura se lahko uporabi tudi kot baza za senčila. Obenem pa se črtalo posuši v dokaj vodoodporno formulo, ki jo lahko odstranimo le z oljnim čistilcem. Črtalo je dobro pigmentirano in se zlahka sloji.



Eyeshadows (dose 10,95€, each eyeshadow 4,95€) from Artdeco are always superb. From buttery smooth texture, longevity and crazy pigmentation. Six new shades were added to the massive palette of colours. All in all, they are all pretty pigmented but some of them are slightly crumbly (pink and navy blue). But let's take a look at each of them in detail.
36A Golden Almond is yellowish champagne with golden shimmer. It's not fully opaque but rather sheer wash of gold. I've used it in my look as a brow bone and inner eye highlighter. Could be easily used as cheek highlighter too. 120 Pink Bloom is standard pink with blue shimmer or shift. It's not the most pigmented colour out of the bunch but used with damp brush, I've incorporated pink on my lower lash line. 135 Skipper's Love is a pure matte red. Red eyeshadow is pretty difficult to use but paired with other brights, you can avoid looking sick or tired. I don't recommend using it with black eyeshadow as it can look outdated or devil-ish. I used it as a main colour all over my lid. 252 Lemon Flicker is a unique blend of lemongrass green and gold shimmer. It can be easily paired with neutral or as a refreshing grasshopper green. Perfect for the inner eye area or as a shifting colour through entire lid. 270 Navy Blue is a satin darkened blue, perfect as an liner or smokey base. Pigmentation could be better but eyeshadow base can bring out full intensity. 515 Mat Stony Shore is a perfect matte pigeon grey. It's just enough warm to be paired with neutrals yet I love to use it on my brows. Also, works well as a cheek contour shade on my lower look.

Artdeco Senčila za oči (dozica 10,95€ in posamezno senčilo 4,95€, Muller & na spletu) so po kvaliteti vedno popolna. Že nekaj let sem zvesta uporabnica njihovih enojnih senčil, saj so mehka kot maslo, imajo odlično pigmentacijo in so dolgo obstojna. Šest novih odtenkov preseneča z drznostjo palete barv in vsekakor vabijo izven okvirjev. Na splošno so vsi odtenki dobro pigmentirani, moti me le drobljivost pri roza in modrem odtenku. Ampak oglejmo si raje podrobno vsak odtenek.
36A Golden Almond je rumenkasto bež z zlatim odsevom. Odtenek ni popolnoma prekriven, zato se ga lahko sloji čez ostale barve ali se uporabi kot osvetljevalec kotičkov očes ali lic. 120 Pink Bloom je standardna roza s šimrastim odsevom modre. Malce drobljiva tekstura in slabša pigmentacija sicer ni tako velika ovira, saj se lepo nanaša na malce mokrem čopiču. 135 Skipper's Love je čista mat rdeča. Rdeča je zelo težka za uporabo, saj lahko oči hitro izgledajo vnete ali utrujene. Mogoče se izognite kombinacije rdeča-črna, saj lahko oči hitro izgledajo ''zlobno'' in raje posezite po kombinaciji svetlejših odtenkov. 252 Lemon Flicker je nadvse nenavadna mešanica limonsko zelene in zlatih svetlečih delcev. Lepo osvetli notranje kotičke oči, doda pa tudi nekaj dimenzije na vekah. 270 Navy Blue je dokaj potemnjena mornarsko modra, ki se lahko uporabi za ''smokey eyes'' ali doda obrobo namesto tekočega črtala. Pigmentacija sicer ni najboljša, vendar se v kombinaciji s svinčnikom ali bazo lahko doseže popolna prekrivnost. 515 Mat Stony Shore je idealna golobje mat siva, popolna v kombinaciji ostalih nevtralnih odtenkov. Jaz jo uporabljam tudi za obrvi, saj ima ravno pravšnjo dozo toplega in hladnega tona.





For this unusual Spring look I've used:
Eyeshadow 135 Skipper's Love for entire lid
Eyeshadow 120 Pink Bloom on my lower lash line
Eyeshadow 36A Golden Almond on my brow bone and inner corners
Eyeshadow 515 Matt Stoney Shore as a cheek contour and brow colour
Volume Supreme Mascara along with single false lashes
Perfect Color Lipstick 25A (Mystical Forest LE) with Kiko Smart Lip pencil 715
On the second picture I've only changed lip color with MAC All Fired Up

Za ta dokaj nenavaden spomladanski videz sem večinoma uporabila:
Senčilo 135 Skipper's Love po celotni veki
Senčilo 120 Pink Bloom na spodnjem delu vek
Senčilo 36A Golden Almond kot osvetljevalec pod obrvmi
Senčilo 515 Matt Stoney Shore za osenčenje ličnic in obrvi
Volume Supreme Mascara skupaj s posameznimi umetnimi trepalnicami
Perfect Color Lipstick 25A (Mystical Forest kolekcija) in Kiko Smart Lip pencil 715
Na drugi sliki sem le zamenjala šminko z odtenkom MAC All Fired Up



This collection definitely got me out of my comfort zone. Bold colours that usually don't get much attention on daily basis are truly a surprise. Nevertheless, Beauty Meets Fashion Talbot Runhof clearly has some hidden gems after initial frightening effect. Looking for that perfect red eyeshadow? 135 Skipper's Love is the answer. Colours like 36A Golden Almond and 252 Lemon Flicker give a bit of dimension to your neutral look with golden specks. While pigeon grey 515 Mat Stoney Shore is perfect for all blondes - multitasker for brows, contouring and neutral eyelooks. Volume Supreme Mascara is my personal gem from this line - it lengthens, gives volume and defines lashes without a problem. Along these eye makeup bits, there are also 6 Perfect Mat Colour lipsticks (I approve texture and colours!), 2 new Hydra Lip Booster glosses, 3 shades of Eye Designer shadows, 4 nail polishes, 1 red Mineral Lip Stylo and floral Blush.

Priznam, kolekcija me je potisnila izven mojih udobnih okvirjev. Drzne barve so velikokrat pozabljene v predalih, ker enostavno niso tako uporabne za vsak dan. Na prvo žogo deluje kolekcija celo malce hektično in zmedeno. Kljub temu, se v pomladni kolekciji Talbot Runhof lahko najde nekaj biserov. Če še vedno iščete popolno rdečo senčilo, bo 135 Skipper's Love prišel prav v kreativnih trenutkih. Odtenka 36A Golden Almond in 252 Lemon Flicker sta dokaj edinstvena in uporabna tudi za kanček razigrane pastelne a zlate barve. Medtem ko je 515 Mat Stony Shore nepogrešljiva nevtralno golobje siva za vse blondinke - tako za obrvi, senčenje in nevtralne videze. Volume Supreme Maskara je čudovita, trepalnice lepo loči ter jih hkrati optično podaljša in poveča. Vsekakor moj najljubši kos te kolekcije. Poleg vseh predstavljenih izdelkov lahko v kolekciji raziščete še 6 Perfect Mat šmink (teksturo sem preizkusila v Mullerju in potrjujem nakup), 2 nova odtenka Hydra Lip Booster glosa, 3 novi odtenki Eye Designer senčil, 4 laki, 1 svinčnik za ustnice in rdečilo s čudovitim cvetličnim potiskom. Kolekcijo si že lahko ogledate v Mullerjih ali na spletni strani Artdeco.
