Iako možda tako deluje, ne uvodim novu kategoriju postova na blogu (top 5 je Isidorin fazon, moliću lepo), već sam samo odlučila da vam pokažem neke od proizvoda koje u poslednje vreme koristim i kojih, pukom slučajnošću, ima pet u ovom postu. Iako većinu imam tek odnedavno slobodno mogu reći da sam oduševljena njima i da vam ih toplo preporučujem. Predstaviću vam ih jedan po jedan sledećim redosledom:


1. Essence luminous matt bronzer:  dugo sam razmišljala o tome da kupim ovaj proizvod i razočarala se kada sam konačno odlučila da to i učinim, a u Lilly parfimeriji ga nije bilo. Međutim, uspela sam da pronađem poslednji primerak u DM parfimeriji tako da sam na kraju ipak imala sreće. Nijansa koju sam uzela je 01 - Sunshine koja je, ponavljam, ujedno bila i jedina kada sam ga kupila, što verovatno znači da je povučen iz prodaje. Iskreno se nadam da grešim jer sam se zaljubila u njega već na prvi pogled. Dizajn je naprosto prelep, kad god ga pogledam imam utisak da držim sunce na svom dlanu. Sam bronzer se nalazi na obodu dok je u sredini kompaktni prah sa svetlucavom završnicom za koji nisam sigurna da mogu reći da je hajlajter jer nije toliko intenzivan. Uprkos tome, kada ga nanesem na jagodice lice mi dobije divan, nežan, suptilan sjaj i tada mi hajlajter nije ni potreban. Na poslednjoj slici možete donekle videti kako izgleda na koži, pokušala sam da jagodicom prsta pokupim i nanesem oba dela proizvoda. Na licu izgleda neuporedivo lepše, napomenuću kada ga budem nosila u nekom od narednih postova da vidite kako izgleda. ;)


2. EOS balzami za usne:  NAJZAD!!! Najzad je moguće kupiti EOS balzame za usne u DM parfimerijama! Sećam se da sam pet minuta gledala u njih misleći da sanjam, ali ne, istina je. Oni koje sam ja lično videla u prodaji su Sweet mint (u sferičnom pakovanju i u stiku), Blueberry acai, Pomegranate raspberry, Summer fruit, Strawberry sorbet, Lemon drop (sa zaštitnim faktorom 15 i koji je ujedno sledeći koji ću kupiti) i ova dva - Vanilla mint i Coconut milk. Prvi miriše na mešavinu vanile i mentola gde je vanila dominantnija komponenta. Za razliku od Sweet mint balzama ne daje osećaj blagog hlađenja na usnama iako i sam sadrži mentol, ali kao i svi EOS balzami hidrira usne i ostavlja prijatan osećaj mekoće. Ružičasti ima miris kokosa i potpuno me je osvojio. Ne znam jesam li to ikada pominjala, ali obožavam miris kokosa i rado pijem hladnu kafu s ekstraktom kokosa, oba me asociraju na leto i uvek mi mogu popraviti raspoloženje. Cena u DM parfimerijama im je inače 799 dinara, ali trenutno su, makar u onoj u kojoj sam ih ja kupila, na sniženju tako da ih možete uzeti za 599 dinara što bi, ako mene pitate, trebalo da im bude redovna cena jer toliko koštaju i u stranim zemljama. Zahvaljujući hranljivim sastojcima poput maslinovog i kokosovog ulja (spisak sastojaka možete pogledati za svaki balzam ponaosob, na primer ovde), kao i činjenici da ne sadrže gluten i parabene, sjajni su za oporavak usana od česte upotrebe mat karmina koji ih gotovo po pravilu isušuju, kao i da ih zaštite od dehidratacije i ispucalosti.


3. Flormar sjajevi za usne:  ako mene pitate, mislim da se sjajevi za usne vraćaju u velikom stilu i prete da svrgnu mat karmine sa trona. Mislim da sam poslednji put koristila sjajeve za usne dok sam još išla u osnovnu školu, a onda sam odlučila da im ponovo dam šansu. Flormar nudi veliki izbor proizvoda po pristupačnim cenama i isprobala sam dva sjaja za usne - Pink Peach iz linije Supershine koji je boje breskve i sadrži sitne svetlucave čestice, i Golden Terracotta iz Long Wearing linije koji takođe sadrži svetlucave čestice i svojom bojom podseća na "nude" karmine koje koristim, mada je opisuju kao boju opeke sa primesama zlatne. Sjaj boje breskve sam nosila u ovom postu i tu možete videti kako izgleda na usnama, ali se i na poslednjoj slici vidi da im je pigmentacija impresivna. Oba sjaja daju lepu boju usnama, a čak ih i vizuelno blago uvećavaju zahvaljujući svetlucavim česticama kojima u poslednje vreme ne odolevam.


4. Martinia cosmetics senka za oči sa šljokicama:  sam Bog zna koliko sam tragala za savršenom zlatnom senkom za oči sa šljokicama, i najzad sam je pronašla u katalogu Martinović kozmetike (katalog pogledajte ovde). Naneta suvom četkicom samo daje efekat svetlucanja i deluje prozračno, ali naneta mokrom (blago nakvašenom) četkicom je znatno intenzivnija i dobija se primetno jača boja. Štaviše, tako naneta može poslužiti i kao ajlajner za glamuroznu završnicu. Na poslednjoj slici sam je nanela na oba načina tako da i sami možete da vidite razliku.


5. NYX olovke za oči sa šljokicama:  pastelne boje i šljokice su direktna asocijacija na proleće i leto, barem ako mene pitate. Sigurno sam već mnogo puta rekla da je moja omiljena boja mint, odnosno tirkizna, odnosno akva - stoga ne treba da vas čudi što sam kupila ovu Aqua glitter olovku za oči. Nju imam već neko vreme i rado je koristim, što se da primetiti i na fotografijama dok je Lavender glitter olovka nova u mojoj kolekciji. Sećam se kako sam, dok sam još uvek bila u osnovnoj školi, šesti ili sedmi razred, stalno koristila krejone sa šljokicama u tri boje - crnoj, zelenoj i ljubičastoj, i kada sam videla da NYX prodaje ne samo identične, već i brojne druge nijanse, nisam mogla da odolim. Ove olovke najradije koristim nanoseći ih direktno ispod donjih trepavica i zahvaljujući tome oči izgledaju sasvim drugačije. Poslušajte me - ove olovke su sjajne u kombinaciji sa klasičnim crnim ajlajnerom.


Da li ste vi probali neki od ovih proizvoda i kakvi su vam utisci? Jeste li i vi možda odlučili da probate nešto novo u skorije vreme i imate li neke predloge i preporuke za mene? Recite mi u komentarima. ;)

Although it might seem so, I'm not introducing a new category of posts on the blog (top 5 is Isidora's thing, mind you), I just decided to show you some of the products that I've been using lately and it just happens that there are five of them. I got most of them recently, but nevertheless I feel free to say that I love them and that I warmly recommend them. I'll introduce them all one by one in the following order:


1. Essence luminous matt bronzing powder:  I've been thinking about buying this product for a long time and got disappointed when I finally decided to do it, and I couldn't find it in the local shop where I usually buy make up. However, I managed to find the last one in the DM shop so I got lucky in the end. The shade I took is 01 - Sunshine which was, I repeat, the only one available when I bought it, which probably means that it will no longer be sold. I honestly hope I'm wrong because I'm absolutely in love with this product. I love the design, whenever I look at it I feel like I'm holding the sun in the palm of my hand. The outside ring represents the bronzer while the center circle is consisted of a shiny pressed powder, which I can't really describe as a highlighter because it's not so intensive. Nevertheless, when I put it on my cheekbones it gives my face a lovely, tender, subtle glow and I don't even need a highlighter then. You can somewhat see what it looks like in the last picture, I tried to pick up both parts of the product with my finger and show it somehow. It looks much better on the face, I'll let you know when I take pictures wearing it in the upcoming posts so that you can see how it looks. ;)


2. EOS lip balms:  AT LAST!!! At long last one can purchase EOS lip balms in DM shops! I remember staring at them for five full minutes thinking that I was dreaming, but no, it's true. The ones that I've seen available are Sweet mint (both as a sphere and as a stick), Blueberry acai, Pomegranate raspberry, Summer fruit, Strawberry sorbet, Lemon drop (with SPF 15 which is also the next one that I'll buy) and these two - Vanilla mint and Coconut milk. The first one smells like the mix of vanilla and mint, out of which vanilla is the dominant component. Unlike Sweet mint it doesn't give you that mild cooling sensation on the lips even though it also contains mint, but just like all EOS lip balms it hydrates the lips and tenderizes them. The pink one smells like coconut and it won me over. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I just love the smell of coconut and drinking ice coffee with coconut extract, both remind me of summer and can always lift me up. Thanks to the nutritious ingredients such as olive and coconut oil (you can see the complete list of ingredients for each individual lip balm, for example here), as well as the fact that they don't contain gluten and parabens, they are great to use to recover your lips from the excessive use of matte lipsticks which nearly always dries them out, as well as to protect them from dehydration and chapping.


3. Flormar lip glosses:  if you ask me, I think that lip glosses are making a big comeback and threatening to take matte lipsticks off the throne. I think that the last time I used lip glosses was back in grade school, and then I decided to give them another shot. Flormar offers a wide range of products at affordable prices and I tried out two lip glosses - Pink Peach from the Supershine line which is a peachy color and has fine glitter, and Golden Terracotta from the Long Wearing line which also contains fine glitter and resembles the nude lipsticks that I use, though it's described as a terracotta shade with a golden subtone. I was wearing the peach colored lip gloss in this post and you can see what it looks like on the lips, but you can also tell by the last picture that their pigmentation is impressive. Both glosses give your lips a lovely color, and they even make them visually slightly bigger thanks to the glitter which I cannot resist lately. 


4. Martinia cosmetics glitter eyeshadow:  God himself knows how long I've been looking for a perfect golden glitter eyeshadow, and at long last I found it in the Martinović cosmetics catalogue (you can check it out here). Applied with a dry brush it only gives the discreet glittering effect and looks sort of transparent, but if you apply it with a wet brush (with a single drop of water) you will get a noticeably more intensive color and glitter. Moreover, that's how you can use it as an eyeliner for a glam finish. I applied it both ways in the last photo so that you can see the difference.


5. NYX glitter eye pencils:  pastels and glitter are a direct association to spring and summer, at least if you ask me. I must have said a million times so far that my favourite color is mint, or turquoise if you prefer, or aqua if you prefer - therefore you shouldn't be surprised that I purchased this Aqua glitter eye pencil. I've owned it for quite a while and I use it with pleasure, which you can tell by the photos, and the Lavender glitter pencil is new in my collection. I remember how I used to use glitter eye pencils back in sixth or seventh grade, especially these three colors - black, green and purple, and when I saw that NYX is selling not only identical shades, but also many more I could not help myself. I use these pencils the most by applying them directly under the lower eyelashes and thanks to that you can make your eyes look completely different. Take my advice - these pencils are terrific when combined with classic black eyeliner.


Did you try any of these products out and what are your impressions? Did you decide to go for something new lately and do you have any suggestions for me or something to recommend? Let me know in the comments. ;)
