Na moje veliko zadovoljstvo sklopila sam saradnju sa srpskim ogrankom kozmetičkog brenda Golden Rose čije proizvode rado koristim. Kvalitet njihovih proizvoda me do sada nijednom nije razočarao, a pored toga su i jako pristupačni za svačiji budžet što je jedan od glavnih razloga zašto posežem za njima kad god mi je potrebno nešto novo. Proizvodi koje sam dobila na testiranje su: ovalna četkica za nanošenje hajlajtera, korektora i preparata za konturisanje, tri ICE CHIC laka za nokte, tri tečna mat karmina, mini tečni mat karmin, tri maskare, tri olovke za usne i marker za usne. Vreme je da počnemo, šta kažete?


To my honest pleasure I started collaborating with the Serbian branch of the Golden Rose cosmetics brand, whose products I gladly use on a daily basis. The quality of their products never let me down so far, and apart from that they are affordable for nearly anyone's budget, which is why I usually turn to them when I need something new. The products I received for testing are: an oval brush for the application of highlighters, concealers and contouring products, three ICE CHIC nail polishes, three liquid matte lipsticks, a mini liquid matte lipstick, three mascaras, three lip pencils and a lip marker. It's time to begin, shall we?

Tek odskora sam ponovo počela malo češće da koristim lakove za nokte, i kako se u poslednje vreme prilično dobro zabavljam isprobavajući različite nijanse ova tri laka su me prijatno iznenadila. Prvi koji vidite je sedefasta bež nijansa sa hladnim smeđim podtonom i dovoljan je čak jedan sloj da gotovo u potpunosti pokrije nokat, mada ja uvek nanosim dva da bi boja bila što ujednačenija i da bi njegov biserni sjaj zaista došao do izražaja. Drugi lak sadrži sitne ljubičaste šljokice i kako je vrlo teško naneti ga tako da one pokriju čitav nokat pre bih ga preporučila kao završni sloj preko neke roze ili ljubičaste nijanse. Treći lak je smeđa mat nijansa i znatno je tamnija kad se nanese na nokat nego što je u bočici. Za ujednačenu boju bolje je naneti dva sloja, mada mu je pigmentacija takva da će već u jednom sloju pokriti ceo nokat.


I only started using nail polishes more frequently two or three weeks ago, and since I'm having so much fun trying out different shades these three nail polishes came as a really nice surprise. The first one that you can see is a pearly beige with a cold brownish subtone and a single layer is enough to cover the nail completely, though I always apply two layers to make sure the color is even and so that it can show its true pearly shine. The second polish contains small purple glitter and as it's really hard to apply it and make it cover every part of the nail I recommend it more as a top coat over a pink or purple polish. The third one is a matte brown shade which is much darker on the nails than inside the bottle. For an even color it is better to apply two coats, though it's so pigmented that it can cover the entire nail in a single coat.

Teško je pronaći kvalitetnu maskaru sa željenim efektom ukoliko niste spremni da za nju izdvojite malo više novca. Međutim, nije i nemoguće, a ove tri su dobra zamena za mnogobrojne maskare koje zahtevaju da za njih izdvojite čitavo malo bogatstvo. Smokey Lashes maskara ima četkicu koja je tačno onakva kakve volim - gusto raspoređene dlačice savršeno razdvajaju i uvijaju trepavice i ravnomerno nanose maskaru koja sama po sebi nije pregusta tako da ne postoji mogućnost da na trepavicama izgleda grudvasto čak i nakon nanošenja više slojeva. Kad sam pogledala četkicu koju ima False Lashes maskara mislila sam da mi se neće nimalo svideti, ali mogu reći da je sasvim pristojna za dnevne varijante kada ne želite da preterano naglasite trepavice, već samo da ih malo podignete tako da je dobra za svakoga sa spuštenim trepavicama. Moja omiljena je definitivno Lash Plumping maskara koja divno razdvaja trepavice, podiže ih i naglašava njihov volumen. Jedino što bi kod ove maskare moglo da predstavlja problem jeste četkica - prilično je velika tako da nije idealna za pristup uglovima očiju ali uz pažljivo rukovanje dobićete sjajan efekat.
Pošto ja ne konturišem, niti osećam potrebu da uopšte naučim kako se to radi, ovu četkicu koristim samo za nanošenje korektora. Lepo kupi i nanosi proizvod, i isto tako ga dobro razmazuje jer su dlačice dovoljno krute, a ujedno nijedna ne ispada prilikom čišćenja.


It's hard to find a good quality mascara with the desired effect unless you're willing to pay more for it. However, it's not impossible, and these three are a good substitute for many mascaras that require you to pay a small fortune. The Smokey Lashes mascara has a brush which is exactly what I like - densely arranged hairs that perfectly separate and twist your eyelashes and evenly distribute the mascara which is not so thick by itself so it won't look lumpy even after applying multiple layers. When I took a look at the brush that came with the False Lashes mascara I thought I wouldn't like it one bit, but I can say that it's just fine for a daytime type of look when you don't want to make your eyelashes look too dramatic, but only lift them up a bit so it makes it good for anyone with eyelashes that grow downwards. My favourite is definitely the Lash Plumping mascara that separates your eyelashes wonderfully, lifts them up and emphasizes their volume. The only potential issue with this one is the size of the brush - it's pretty big so it's not ideal for approaching the corners of the eyes but with good handling you'll get an amazing effect.
As I don't do contouring, and sense no need to even learn how to do it, I only use this brush to apply the concealer. It picks up and distributes the product quite nicely because its hairs are dense and stiff enough, and none of them fell out during cleaning.

Pošto sam već pisala o ovim tečnim mat karminima u ovom postu mislim da će biti dovoljno samo da vam predstavim tri od nekoliko novih nijansi koje su skoro pridodate kolekciji. Ovaj karmin u manjem pakovanju nema obeleženu nijansu tako da nisam sigurna koja je, ali s obzirom na to da mi užasno stoji kladim se na desetku. Izražen sivi podton u ovoj nijansi mi nikako ne pristaje niti će, ni preplanuloj ni kad se moj ten bude vratio u normalu. Nijansa 23 je dosta slična s tim što je nešto toplija boja u odnosu na prethodnu i vuče na ljubičasto, ali mi, makar u ovom trenutku, ne pristaje ništa bolje. Kada je nanesem usne mi izgledaju praktično sivo i takve karmine nikad nisam volela da nosim. Međutim, nijansa 25 je nešto što mnogo više volim jer su bordo karmini moja slabost. Doduše, u ovoj nijansi je ljubičasti podton dominantan u odnosu na crven, ali je izvrsna boja za predstojeću jesen i zimu. Nijansa 26 je boja koja podseća na čokoladu, ali nikako ne ide uz mene jer u kombinaciji sa mojom tamnom kosom i očima čini da mi lice izgleda bleđe. Nažalost, jedina nijansa koju, barem u ovom trenutku, smatram upotrebljivom kad sam ja u pitanju, jeste nijansa broj 25.


As I already described these liquid matte lipsticks in this post I think it will be enough if I just present you three out of several new shades that have recently been added to the collection. This lipstick in the mini packing wasn't labeled so I'm not sure which shade it is, but considering that it looks awful on me I bet it's the most famous ten. The dominant grey subtone in this shade never did, nor will it ever look good on me whether I'm tan or when my tan goes back to normal. Shade number 23 is quite similar except that it's just a tad warmer than the previous one and it's a bit more purple, but it doesn't look good on me at all, not in this very moment at least. When I put it on my lips look practically grey and I never liked wearing such lipsticks. However, shade number 25 is something I like much more because I have a weakness for burgundy lipsticks. The purple subtone is dominant over the red one, though, but it's a splendid color for the upcoming autumn and winter. Shade number 26 is a chocolate brown, but it doesn't suit me at all because with my dark hair and eyes it makes my face look pale. Sadly, the only shade that I can actually use, at least in this period, is the number 25.

Ovaj marker za usne je prvi proizvod te vrste sa kojim sam se susrela i stoga sam ga prvog i isprobala. Dok sam ga nanosila doslovno sam imala osećaj kao da tipičnim alkoholnim markerom prelazim preko usana i osećaj je, u najmanju ruku, teško opisati na bilo koji drugi način. Ne preporučujem da se koristi bez olovke za usne u identičnoj boji zbog urednosti, čak i uz najveću preciznost teško je popuniti svaki deo usana a da pri tom ne nastane potpuni fijasko. Međutim, jednom kad se osuši gotovo ga je nemoguće skinuti - dvofazno sredstvo za skidanje šminke ili neko na bazi ulja je svakako bolje u odnosu na micelarnu vodu jer ćete u suprotnom sigurno potrošiti sedam ili osam tupfera. Kad su u pitanju ovi mat karmini u vidu olovke već sam pisala o njima ovde, i same nijanse su jako lepe, ali za mene trenutno previše svetle. Nijansa 27 je topla boja kože, odnosno "nude" koja diskretno vuče na narandžasto dok je nijansa 28 bleda ružičasta. Olovka za usne u nijansi 530 je u lepoj ljubičastoj/bordo boji i ne ističe ispucalost usana i lako se razmazuje tako da je sjajna podloga za sjaj ili karmin u identičnoj boji, sasvim sigurno ću je koristiti.

Kako vam izgledaju ovi proizvodi? Nameravate li da isprobate neke od njih?



This lip marker is the first product of its kind that I've come across and therefore it was the first thing that I tested. While I was applying it I literally felt like I was painting my lips with a typical alcohol marker and the feeling is hard to describe differently to say the least. I don't recommend using it without a matching lip liner for the sake of making it look neat and tidy, even with the best possible precision it's hard to fill in every part of the lip without risking a total fiasco. However, once it dries out it's nearly impossible to take it off - a bi-phase or oily makeup remover is clearly a better option than micellar water, otherwise you'll use at least seven or eight cotton pads. When it comes to these crayon shaped lipsticks I wrote about them here, and the shades are really nice, but right now too bright for me. Shade number 27 is a warm nude that discreetly contains some orange, and shade number 28 is a pale pink. The lip liner in the shade 530 is in a nice purple/burgundy color and it doesn't emphasize chapped lips and it's easily smeared so it's a perfect base for a lipgloss or lipstick in a matching shade, I'll be using it a lot for sure.

What do you think of these products? Do you plan to try some of them?
