Volo spužvica za lice: recenzija

Pozdrav svima! Danas donosim kratak post u kojem ću opjevati proizvod koji apsolutno obožavam. Radi se o spužvici za lice napravljenoj od prirodne morske spužve. Spužve su ručno ubrane u Jadranskom moru (Hrvatska <3). Ova mala spužvica je napravila čuda za moju kožu (koža mi je znatno mekša i nježnija).

Gdje kupiti: dm (možda ih ima i drugdje, ja sam ih pronašla u dm-u)

Cijena: 15,90 kn (spužvica je duljine labella)

Ocjena: 10/10

Iskustvo: Koristim ovu spužvicu za čišćenje lica i za blagi piling, i od srca je preporučujem. Ova spužvica je bez problema zauzela mjesto u mojih TOP 5 proizvoda. Spužvica je meka i nježna, ali ipak pruža nježan piling i 'ulazi' u sve pore (površina spužvice nije ravna, već se sastoji od brojnih 'niti' koje lako čiste pore i ulaze u teško dostupna mjesta). Spužvicu stavim pod vodu i odmah je mekana i spremna za upotrebu, a brzo se suši. Mislila sam da bi ju možda moglo biti nezgodno čistiti, ali čišćenje prolazi glatko. Čak i samom vodom se lako čisti, ali ipak koristim nježan sapun, makar su spužve prirodno antibakterijske. Koristila sam je i za uklanjanje maske od ugljena (tu masku inače jako teško skidam s bilo čega), ali 2 minute kasnije spužvica je bila savršeno čista. Ne cufa se i ne kida, a tako ju je zabavno koristiti. Koristim ju već više od mjesec dana, i nisam na njoj primjetila nikakvu razliku, izgleda isto kao i kad sam je kupila. Otkad koristim ovu spužvicu, primjećujem da mi je koža znatno mekanija. Ovaj proizvod je potpuno druga dimenzija u usporednbi sa 'lažnim' sintetskim spužvicama, a i trajat će dulje. Spužvica je bez mirisa i takva će i ostati. Oduševio me ovaj proizvod i svima ga preporučujem. Volim SpužvaBoba Skockanog, a volim i ovaj proizvod.

Više o proizvodu: Budući da mi je ovo prvo iskustvo s prirodnim spužvama, možda ćete ipak pouzdanije informacije pronaći na web stranici ovog branda OVDJE. Vidim na njihovoj stranici da imaju i grublju spužvicu, ali tu do sada nisam uspjela pronaći, pa zato ako ju netko spazi u dm-u, javite mi!

Što piše na proizvodu (pogodan i za bebe):

Budući da postoji i veća verzija ove spužvice (za tijelo), moram i nju isprobati; baš me zanima kakva je. To je to za danas, hvala na posjetu. Ne zaboravite me pratiti na svim mojim platformama (linkovi su sa desne strane). Javite mi što mislite o ovom proizvodu ako ste ga isprobale i uživajte u danu.

Pozdrav, Jelena

Ombre Nails: Tequila Sunrise

Hey everyone! This color combination is my favorite to wear, probably because it reminds me of a Tequila Sunrise, which is my favorite cocktail. I meant to post this in one of my 'Nail Fail' posts, but I decided it isn't that bad. The only problem is that Ombre doesn't look very good on very short nails.

Products used:

Avon, Nail experts, Peeling and brittleness solver: It sucks. Do not purchase.

Essence, colour&go, really old collection: I'm trying to use up some of my old polishes, that's why I've been using these cute polishes a lot in the last few months. I loved these polishes, the texture was the perfect density, they are fast drying, the brush suited me and the bottles were adorable.

Catrice, 060 Bloody Mary To Go: The perfect classic red. Gorgeous.

Catrice, 070 Caught On The Red Carpet: A darker shade, but still a classic red. This one is more vampy. Wonderful texture, fast drying, covers in one coat.

Essence, Studio nails, Top Sealer: I like the one with the high shine better.

There you have it: a quick, fun look. In my opinion, short nails do not look nice on photos - that's why I rarely post them. So I guess I have to let my nails grow back.

Have a Tequila Sunrise and thanks for stopping by !
Love, Jelena

Hello Beauty Make-up Sponge, Review And Comparison

Pozdrav svima! U današnjem postu donosim recenziju ove slatke spužvice za nanošenje make up-a koju možete pronaći u Bipi. Proizvod je vrijedan pažnje, i isplati ga se kupiti.

Vrsta proizvoda: Spužvica za nanošenje tekućeg pudera/korektora/itd...; za mokro korištenje

Ime proizvoda: Hello Beauty, Makeup Sponge Applicator

Cijena: 19,90 kn

Gdje kupiti: samo Bipa

Ocjena: 10/10

Kupila bi ponovno?: Apsolutno. Imam i plavu verziju.

Kako koristiti: Spužvica se može koristiti suha i mokra. Nisam je uopće koristila suhu jer bi ju ipak trebalo koristiti mokru. Znači, stavim spužvicu pod vodu, stisnem par puta, spužvica nabubri i uveća se (skoro pa duplo), nakon toga iscjedim višak vode (ovo je bitno), i spužvica je spremna za korištenje. Ako je ostalo previše vode u spužvici, rezultat neće biti tako dobar. Tekući puder nanesem na lice (ja ga nanosim tu i tamo, pa ga ravnomjerno rasporedim spužvicom, ali možete ga i rasporediti kistom, pa zatim preći na spužvicu). Spužvicom tapkam po licu da se puder dobro rasporedi i da dobijem prirodan izgled.

Moji dojmovi: Spužvica navodno dolazi u 4 nijanse: bijela/roza, hot pink, žuta i plava. Bijelo-rozu nisam vidjela u dućanima, ali eto, navodno ih ima. E sad, javila se neka dilema o tome ima li spužvica u hot pink boji drugačiju teksturu od ostalih - budući da nisam uzela tu boju ne mogu odgovoriti na to pitanje, tako da moja recenzija uključuje samo žutu boju (navodno je hot pink verzija nešto tvrđa). Spužvica nema mirisa (kao neke lošije verzije), a još je i antialergijska i bez lateksa. Najvažnija stvar koju trebate znati, za razliku od drugih proizvoda ove vrste koje sam recenzirala, ova spužvica nabubri kad je mokra (i zbog toga je naravno bolja od ostalih). Spužvica stvarno skraćuje vrijeme nanošenja pudera. S njom postižem prirodan izgled. Spužvica nije pogodna ako trebate sakriti puno toga ili nanijeti deblji sloj pudera (za to je ipak bolji kist). Spužvica pomaže nanijeti manju količinu pudera, i ravnomjerno ga rasporediti po licu. Meni je super jer ne volim debeli sloj pudera, a i ne trebam puno toga sakriti. Što se tiče korektora, dobra je za jako guste korektore koje treba nježno utapkati u lice.

Pranje: Na proizvodu stoji ovako: ''Ako spužvicu koristite svakodnevno, potrebno ju je jednom tjedno oprati blagim šamponom.'' JEDNOM TJEDNO???!!! To je najveća glupost koju sam čula u životu. Zamislite to: smočiš spužvicu, na njoj ostane pudera i masnoće, onda stoji dok se suši na zraku, pa se čestice prašine skupljaju po njoj, i tako 7 dana dok ju ne opereš?! Ma slobodno napravite tako - dobit ćete užasne akne! Nema šanse! Ja perem spužvicu nakon svakog korištenja. Perem ju običnom vodom i blagim šamponom (tj. Babylove kupkom koju sam spominjala OVDJE, makar se jako pjeni) ili intimnim sapunom. Spužvica se brzo suši (mora stajati na otvorenom dok se suši, jer ako ju zatvorite u kutiju, mogu se razviti plijesni), i trebala bi vam biti spremna za idući dan (ali ja ih imam više pa ih izmjenjujem). Namjerno nisam pisala recenziju prvi tjedan kad sam uzela ovaj proizvod, jer sam htjela vidjeti kako će se ponašati. Ono što sam ja primjetila jest ako ju operete što brže nakon korištenja, bolje će se oprati. Ako ste u žurbi, pa ju ostavite da čeka pranje dok se ne vratite doma, rezultati pranja će biti slabiji. Prvi puta kada sam ju prala svaki ostatak pudera sam uspjela ukloniti - a koristila sam Revlonov Colorstay (koji je zloglasan po tome koliko ga je teško ukloniti s beauty alata). Bila sam impresionirana. Međutim, sa svakim idućim pranjem, spužvicu je bilo sve teže oprati, svaki puta bi mi ostala po jedna neuklonjiva mrlja. Međutim, onda sam koristila jedan laganiji puder (Catrice All Matt plus): i kada sam ju prala ne samo da se uklonio sav trag tog pudera, uklonjene su i sve prijašnje mrlje! Tako da sada imam ponovno savršeno čistu spužvicu. Treba paziti na to da budete nježni prema spužvici, ja imam nokte četvrtastog oblika, i pri pranju sam povukla rub nokta po spužvici, pa mi se tamo napravila 'brazda'. Zapravo, izgleda kao da sam ju okrznula nožem. Zaključak: Može se oprati, ali potrebno ju je održavati i redovito prati. Neke mrlje vam se možda čine neuklonjive, ali otići će s idućim pranjem. Čak i ako ih ne uspijete ukloniti, spužvica je sigurna za korištenje, makar ima mrlja po sebi.

Zaključak: Ova spužvica košta isto kao i sve druge low-end spužvice za makeup (19,90 kn), ali pruža puno više. Od svih verzija koje možete nabaviti kod nas (a koje ne koštaju bogatstvo) ova je nadaleko najbolja, posebno zato što je jedina koja nabubri kada je mokra. Lako ju je i jednostavno koristiti, i spada pod one beauty alate koje bi svatko morao imati. Apsolutno preporučujem, ova je jedina koja vam treba.

Ovaj proizvod je za tebe ako: Ako još uvijek koristiš kistove, ili ako tražiš jeftin, a zadovoljavajući proizvod.

Izbjegavaj ovaj proizvod ako: Ako već imaš skuplje verzije ovakvog proizvoda, onda ti ovo ne treba.

These Nails Suck - But So Does The Finale Of HIMYM

Products used for this look:

Smart girls get more, no.36 - this polish is watery, but it shows you how a brand doesn't mean anything because this polish is light years better than the Maybelline green from this post. I'm wearing 3 coats, but 2 are enough. Downside - it's slow drying, but the finish is amazing - it's very smooth. I have this polish a long time, and the texture is still great. SGGM has some good polishes.
Maybelline COLORAMA, Neons, no.190 - what you're seeing on these pictures are 3 layers - and it's still transparent. I was wearing a base coat, and this horrible polish STILL painted my nails green! Disgusting. It has a matte finish, and is long lasting, but I would not recommend this polish. I got it on sale for less than a euro, so that's fine. I might use it over some other green polish, but never again solo. One of the worst polishes I've ever tried.

Now, let's talk about the How I Met Your Mother finale. I wanted to wait a while so that everyone had time to find out what had happened, so that noone would be upset because there were

SPOILERS.

Honestly, if you by now do not know how the show ended, it's not my fault you live under a rock.

So, Ted Mosby turned out to be a creep, pervert, psychopath, and (probably) murderer. He was obsessed with a woman (Robin) that wanted nothing to do with him - she refused to have kids with him (I guess she didn't love him enough), and she slept with his best friend - he even watched them get married. So he finds some poor chick, gets her pregnant, uses her to have kids (but never even likes her). When the kids are old enough (they're no longer babies, because Robin hates children), he kills his wife off (most likely), and then as soon as she's dead, gets back the chick he always wanted. Disgusting. 

Yeah yeah, I know I'm exaggerating (obviously), but seriously, what the hell???!!!

I think the whole show was wrongly marketed - I think the title of the show was misleading. You know, when someone asks their father ''how did you meet our mother'' - than the father usually tells them the story of how he met their mother. He does not use the opportunity to tell them how he wants to bang their aunt. And how he doesn't give a shit about their mother. I mean, the scenario of how the kids are OK with this - it would never happen in real life. His kids would detest him.

I mean, those poor kids just wanted to know how he met their mother - and he won't even give them that. He spends his time talking about how he really loved another person the whole time (even if she never liked him at all), how he only used their mother as a baby-making machine, and is asking his kids' permission to f*** someone else.

Ted and Robin probably killed the mother together. Ted got his kids (which was what he wanted), and Robin gets Ted and doesn't have to lose her good figure. So gross. The show should have been called ''How I killed your mother and now I'll ask you to support me while I f*** that bitch that helped me get rid of your mom (most likely)''. The whole show made us think that it will be a story about how a couple got together, but really, it's a story about a guy who has kids with some sorry girl he hates, and he can't wait until she's dead so he can f*** other people.

Gross.

Leave your thoughts below, and let me know what you think. Are you disappointed? Do you think Ted is a murderer? Do you think he ever even loved the mother or was he just using her as a baby making machine? Do you think Robin is the greatest slut that ever lived? Do you think the show will now be hated amongst all the previous fans? Let me know.

Thanks for stopping by,

love, Jelena

Ombre Heart Studs from KKCenterHk

Happy Holidays! When I did a review of KKCenterHk N.NAIL Heart Studs in White - 6mm Nail Art Decorations [NNAIL-DRN628] (product LINK), I wrote that I chose the white studs because it will be easy to paint them into any shade I wanted. So here is a look I promised using those studs. You can check out my original review of the Heart Studs HERE.

This look was easy to achieve - first I had to bend the hearts so they would match my nail shape (piece of cake), then I painted the studs with nail polish. I waited about 5 minutes for them to dry, and then I applied them to my nails using nail glue. I love Ombre effect everywhere, and I had so much fun wearing this look.

Nail polishes used for this look:

Base - 2 coats of Catrice's Limited Edition Neo Geisha Collection - C01 Discreet Artist

Yellow Heart - smart girls get more, no. 36

Tangerine Heart - Deborah Milano, 19 Sombrero Tan

Orange Heart - Essence colour&go, old collection

Red Heart - Maybelline Colorama, no.75

Yes, the hearts can be re-used, but there's no need for that, since I still have a ton of them left. You really get a lot with one purchase. Anyways, I am so happy with this product and with the final look. Do you like this look?

***KKCenterHk has sent me the N.NAILS Heart Studs for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Summer Sunset Ombre Look

Happy Monday everyone! So I dug up these photos, I wore this look during the summer. Sunset Ombre is my favorite nail look. This would have looked so much better if I did some black stamping over it, but instead I put glitter on, and sort of ruined it. Here's a photo of that:

I like it better without the top coat. Anyways, the polishes I used are all unavailable (I'm trying to use up some of my older polishes), EXCEPT for the one on the pinky, which is Maybelline Colorama no.75 (amazing texture and color, I recommend this one). The winter is upon us, so it's time to do white-to-blue ombre looks. Do you wear Ombre nails at all? Thanks for stopping by!

Sunset Ombre With Dots

This is an update to a look I posted yesterday. Link to that post is HERE, where you can find all the info on the products used. The dotting is done by essence's Stampy polish in black.

I do a lot of dotted looks, especially dotted ombre. I just enjoy them so much. What do you think about them ? Would you wear them?

Sunset Ombre

My original plan was to do an ombre look with dotting on it (that post is coming tomorrow). I thought I might do black dots on these nails and then paint the thumb black with dots of these four colors. Well I did that - and it looked horrible. Yikes! So I present to you this ombre, the infamous thumb excluded. ;)

The red shade is by Maybelline, no.75. Awesome texture, the new COLORAMA line is amazing! 

Ring finger is by essence, from the old collection. Just a classic carrot shade.

Middle finger is by Deborah Milano, Pret A Porter, 19 Sombrero Tan. Great quality polishes.

The yellow is by Maybelline but it's from the old mini colorama collection - I'm so grateful that they've changed the formula, the old collection was not good. Not good at all. Strange bottles as well.

Come back tomorrow to check out the dotted version ;)

Colorful Clouds On Pink

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is a fun summer look I wore. I am in love with this hot pink polish - it was sent to me by the lovely N@ILBOX, you can check out her blog HERE. This is my first Gabrini polish, I do know they're very popular here. The smell reminded me of nail polishes from my childhood (weird, right?). Anyways, I'm wearing 2 coats, but 1 is enough. Picture of other nail polishes used in the bottom of the post.

Polishes used: some old essence color&go (I figure I might use these until they expire), Deborah Milano, Eveline miniMAX shade no. 801 (this shade looks gorgeous, I havent worn it solo yet), and the Gabrini, shade no. 366. Are you enjoying the summer ?

Almost Lizards

This look would have been awesome - if only the lizards transferred good. Oh well, you cant have it all. What I tried to do is have a different color lizard on every finger - but some polishes didn't work well for stamping, so the lizards were horribly maimed, poor little guys. :( I'd say the ring finger is the only decent looking one. Image of polishes used in the bottom of the post. The black stars I bough from Essence, though I havent seen them on the racks recently. I did not use nail glue to attach the stars, just clear polish and they held on for 3 days. Though, I would recommend nail glue if you want more durability.

Yellow Is Not My Color

This yellow would look great on someone else's skin tone, but not me. I am wearing 3 layers of Catrice's 'Don't Feed The Birds'. This polish is long gone, I actually got it as a gift with another purchase. I would never have bought it myself because, even though it looks amazing in the bottle, it doesn't work well for me. Wouldn't you agree? Makes my hands look tired and dull. But it is a beautiful shade with the most amazing sparkle. I wore this look 2 weeks ago, so tomorrow I'll post an upgrade of this look, a failed attempt at stamping. Wait till you see it haha!

Hope you're all looking forward to the weekend. xoxo Jelena

Dragon Skin With Deborah Milano

Hey girls! I decided to do a very strange mix - a gold and silver look. I never mix these two colors together but the result ended up pretty awesome - it looks like dragon skin...well if anyone can pull this look off, a dragon would be able to hehe. I guess I always imagined dragons to have gold skin with silver scales... I used only Deborah Milano products for this look. The yellow is number 20 'Yellow Submarine'. I dont like this shade by itself because it doesnt match my skin tone well, but for this look it worked very well. I think this baby is from the old collection, so it's not in stores anymore. It's very sheer, and 2 coats will not cover everything but at least it's fast drying. It's got a very nice shimmer to it, almost hologram-like. The silver glitter cracking polish on top is number 03. I think the reason this looks great is because of the glitter-cracking polish. I did notice Deborah had other glitter-cracking shades (like purple) so I'll have to go and get them, since I now adore this look.

What do you think? Do you like this look? Do you mix gold and silver? Have you tried Deborah's glitter cracking polishes? I cant believe it took me so long to get on the cracking-polish train hehe Now I'm hooked....anyway, see you guys soon, have a great day!
