In this year, Essence launched a new line of face products, called You Better Work!. The products are supposed to be waterproof, gym proof and have an SPF 20. I was sent one product from the line to review. It's You Better Work! Tinted Day Cream. Essence says the cream has a matte effect and that it creates a natural "no-makeup look". They are marketing this as a tinted day cream that can replace the foundation. The cream comes in a tube that holds 30ml of product and costs around 3-4€. The nozzle does get very messy so you will have to clean it often.
Last week I was invited to a blogger event by The Body Shop. I really like The Body Shop, their products and the whole company, I appreciate everything that they are doing to protect the animals and the world. You can read more about their projects about fighting against animal testing, about Comunity Trade and much more on their website. If you are interested, I talked about TBS products a lot on my blog, the Vanilla Pumpkin collection is still my favourite, it's a shame that it was a limited edition.
The famous Butter Bronzer from Physicians Formula has been on my WL for years. I always saw youtubers and bloggers raving about it but I thought 17,90€ was just too much for it (that's the price in Slovenia, I know there are less expensive elsewhere). I probably wouldn't even buy it but it was on sale so I ordered it.
Catrice Future Female Palette À Porter Eyeshadow is a newer edition to Catrice makeup. The palette is perfect for on the go and travelling. It comes in a small and really thin plastic packaging, you can just put it anywhere. The plastic feels cheap, so if you drop it, it will probably break. The palette contains 5,2g of product for around 4,50€.
Another new empties, this time it's a mix of skincare and makeup. You can read my previous empties posts here.
Primark is finally coming to Slovenia, to Ljubljana to be specific. This doesn't mean much to me because Graz is still closer to where I live but it's still great news. The store is opening on 13th of June and I'm sure as hell I'm not going to be there on the opening day haha. I had a wishlist prepared for some time now and I didn't have time to post it but what better time than now. I only put decor items and such in these posts because they are easier to find on their website. Of course, there is something from Friends, I always pick up something from the collection. There is a gel mask that is nice for headaches and migraines. The stationary is also something I usually pick up because it's cute and cheap. I'm not usually into bags like the one on the photo, I like them to be simple, but this one is gorgeous.
Shine Last & Go! is a new and updated gel nail polish line from Essence. I already revied one of the shades called I Believe, I talked about the brush and the formula. I was so impressed with how long that one lasted on my nails that I had to get two more. I chose 04 Millennial Pink and 16 Feme Fatal.
I got four products from L.O.V to test out. L.O.V is a sister brand to Essence and Catrice and here in Slovenia it was available in Müller but now we can only get it on Licila.si. They only have a few of their products and half of the collection it's not even in stock, so I'm not even sure if all of these products are still available to purchase.
Warm rays of sunshine on your face, a white sandy beach and golden light that promises unforgettable moments - in May, you can look forward to endless summer days and exuberant nights. With the bronzing products of the essence trend edition “sun. sand. & golden rainbows.“, a beach feeling and holiday flair already arrive in the early summer. A beautiful glow and shimmering accents conjure-up looks as if freshly kissed by the sun.
Avon came out with another new fragrance, this time it's Eve Truth. Eve Truth Eau de Parfum comes in a stunning diamond shaped bottle. It has light green tones and it's just amazing, it looks way more expensive than it is. In the bottle you get 50ml of product and it normally costs 32€ but Avon always has some sales going on. In the same line, you can also get a mini spray, a body spray and a body lotion.
Danes imam pripravljeno objavo o Della Spina spletni trgovini z očali. Če jih še ne poznaš, na dellaspina.si lahko veliko ceneje dobiš očala, kot pa v navadni optiki. Sama imam kar visoko dioptrijo in lahko v optiki že samo za okvirje brez leč dam veliko več, kot pa tukaj za celotni komplet.
A few months ago Glina.si sent me their clay facial cream to test and I really took my time with it. I already tried their clay soap and clay masks and I love them. I also heard very good reviews on the facial cream, Monika also talked about it a lot, so I had high expectations. I mentioned more about the brand in my older post.
Essence Shine Last & Go! is a new nail polish line by Essence, it replaced The Gel Nail Polish line that I really liked. The new formula should ensure optimal durability, amazing shine, it should be highly pigmented and dry much faster than the old formula.
Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara has been on my WL for quite some time. I loved Maybelline's mascaras back in the days when I just started using makeup, I adored the Rocket Volum' Express but they sadly don't make it anymore. But then Essence started making some great formulas, I even found my long time favourite I Love Extreme Mascara and because it's 10€ cheaper I stuck with that one. Recently, one Slovenian drugstore had 50% off of the Lash Sensational so I finally decided to test it.
A few weeks ago Avon sent me a lovely package containing three new products. A mascara that should give you lots of volume, a nourishing lip oil and a new matte lipstick. I tried the mascara and the lip oil but the lipstick is not really my colour, so I'm not going to review it, instead, I will include it in a giveaway that I'm planning. I did review their matte lipstick formula before, so if you are interested, you can check this post.
I already talked about some Afrodita's 100% SPA Products, I loved their body soufflé. Towards the end of lasts year they came out with some new sets of product: Organic Argan, Zen Rituals, Pure Coconut, De-Stress and Nourish Gold. I got the Organic Argan set on the blogger event, we could choose which ones we want to test and I decided for this one, I thought it would be the best for winter time. I explained the whole meaning behind the 100% SPA line in my older post so I will not go into details again. This argan line contains 100% organic argan oil and cocoa butter. These two nourish the skin, keep it from losing moisture and keep it from ageing. The products are also vegan.
I wanted to prepare a quick and easy pampering essentials/gift guide for valentines day. I didn't include any makeup because I wanted to make it all about taking care of yourself and making your skin soft and smelling nice. I found some products that came out now for valentines day but some are part of the regular assortments.
I love the blue version of this I Love Extreme mascara line by Essence. It is one of my favourite mascaras ever and I repurchased it numerous times. I also know the pink version is very popular but I haven't tried that one yet. This green tube was a new addition and I had to see if it's any good.
Giordani Gold Master Creation is a new line by Oriflame and I'm going to review a lipstick. They say it has been crafted to amplify a richly coloured finish and decadent creaminess with youth-boosting technology. It contains SPF20 and it should also be hydrating on the lips.
This is a part two of my 2018 favourites, here you can see the first one. In this one you will find some skincare, body care and hair care products.
Here are finally my 2018 favourites and in the next post I will share some skincare and other products. Here you will mostly see products that I discovered and loved in 2018 but there are two or three old favourites but I just had to include them here because I have been using them all throughout the year.
This post I had in mind for the whole of December but I didn't get around to do it. I even noticed that I could have posted better pictures so you (and I) could see how much of the product I actually used up. If I do another one of these posts, I will make sure I post some better ones. I liked the challenge, I finished a few products, but some I didn't use much. I think I will do it again this year but I'm not sure if I'm going to do a blog post about it.
I wanted to do one of these posts again. I like doing them, I don't really check statistics of my blog so often, but at the end of the year, I like to see which posts you enjoyed reading and which are my favourites, whether they took me a long time to do or I really liked doing them.
This post has become quite a tradition on my blog. Every year I do it and I give a shoutout to my fellow bloggers and their posts in December. Some worked hard during this month, some had Blogmases going on too. There are mostly beauty bloggers, but some also have travel/lifestyle section on their blogs. You can find some that blog in English but others only in Slovene. I also need to mention that these are not all of the Slovenian bloggers, there is just so many, that I'm sure I don't even know about all of them, and I mostly just chose the ones that are in my "field".
This is the last holiday-themed post. I meant to post this review somewhere between Christmas and New Year's, but I had some problems with Blogger. I am seriously considering switching to Wordpress, I'm familiar with it and with Blogger I feel there is always something wrong. Anyway, I prepared a short review of the Essence Mad About Red Matte Liquid Lipstick. I already have a full review on the nude version, called Dusty Romance, here.
