All That Glitter... i...tufnice... :) / Dotty... :)

Zdravo devojke,
 na red je dosao jedan post o nokticima. :)

 Ja nokte na nogama lakiram otprilike jednom mesecno.
Nekad to bude jedan lak, a nekad volim da usaram pa koristim i po pet razlicitih lakova.
Ovog puta odlucila sam se za dva. :)

 

Hello everyone!

It's time for a post about nails. :)

 

I put nail polish on my toe nails about once a month.

Sometimes I use one nail polish, other times I use 5 different ones. 

This time I decided I would use two. :)

Koristila sam Sixteen lak u broju 463 - divna svetlo plava boja, a za lak mogu da kazem da je prilicno postojan. Vise o njemu mozete procitati u  u ovom postu.
Ukratko, boja je divna, ali je lak malo redji, pa obavezno mora d a se nanese u dva sloja.

Zatim sam koristila AURA lak u broju 64 - Pink Weekend, jedna jako lepa nijansa roze boje. I o ovom laku sam vec pisala ovde.
Ovaj lak ima bolju teksturu, vec sa prvim sloje dobija se odlicna prekrivenost, tako da drugi sloj nije neophodan, mada ja uvek lak nanesem u dva sloja. Rekla bih da je prvi ipak postojaniji.

I used Sixteen nail polish in number 463 - beautiful light blue colour, and for the nail polish I can say that it's pretty long lasting. More about it you can read  in this post.

In short, the colour is beautiful, obly that the nail polish is not thick enough, so you must apply two layers of it.

Then I used AURA nail polish in number 64 - Pink Weekend, one very nice pink colour. I wrote about this nail polish as well, you can read the post here.

This nail polish has better texture, with the first layer you get the nails covered perfectly, so that the second layer isn't needed at all, but, anyway, I always apply nail polishes in two layers. I would say that the first is longer lasting.

Takodje sam ponovo koristila i

AURA - The Strong Hardener Base Coat  i AURA Jelly Top Coat.

 I o njima sam vec pisama, kao recimo u ovom postu.

I also used again

AURA - The Strong Hardener Base Coat  and AURA Jelly Top Coat.

I wrote about them as well, like in this post.

Odlucila sam da se malo ''igram'', pa sam tri nokta premazala plavim lakom, a zatim nanela tufnice roze lakom. Jedan nokat sam samo premazala plavim, a jedan roze lakom. :)

I decided to ''play'' a little, so I covered three toe nails with the blue nail polish, then added some dotts with pink nail polish, I covered one toe nail only with the blue nail polish and one with pink nail polish.

Koje su boje trenutno vasi nokti na nogama?

Which colour are your toe nails at the moment?

Healthy Life and Exercise ~ ''Adho Mukha Svanasana''

Zdravo devojke,

u danasnjem postu predstavljam vam jos jednu joga pozu, jednu od mozda najprepoznatljivijih joga poza koju cete cesto videti u magazinima, na internetu u clancima posvecenim jogi.
To je poza ''Pas koji gleda na dole'' ili na sanskritu ''Adho Mukha Svanasana''.

To je poza koja se izvodi kao deo Pozdrava Suncu ili Surya Namaskar, sluzi za prelazak iz jedne joga poze u drugu i odmor izmedju istih, ali i kao poza za sebe, ona ima mnogo dobrobiti.

Hello my friends!
in today's post I will show you another yoga pose, one of th most famous yoga poses which you will often see in magazines and internet articles dedicated to yoga.
It's a pose called ''Downward  - Facing Dog'' or in sanskrit ''Adho Mukha Svanasana''.

It's a pose that is performed as part of  Sun Salutation or Surya Namaskar, it's a transition pose from one yoga pose to another, resting pose, but also has great benefits as a pose for itself.

U svom prvom ''Healthy Life nd Exercise'' postu sam pisala neke osnovne stvari u vezi sa  jogom, a takodje sam govorila i o pozi ''krava/macka''. Taj post mozete procitati ovde. O joga pozi ''Drvo'' mozete se informisati u ovom postu. Takodje pisala sam i varijaciji poze Dete.

In my first ''Healthy Life and Exercise'' post I wrote some basic things about yoga, and I also wrote about ''Cat/Cow'' pose. You can read that post here. About the yoga pose called ''Tree'',you can inform yourself here. I also wrote about the Extended Child's Pose.


''Pas koji gleda na dole'' ili na sanskritu ''Adho Mukha Svanasana'' poza.
''Downward  - Facing Dog'' / ''Adho Mukha Svanasana'' pose.

Napomena: Nisam jos uvek instruktor yoge!

Note: I'm still not a yoga teacher!

Evo linka do youtube videa gde mozete videti kako se pravilno i bezbedno izvodi joga poza ''Adho Mukha Svanasana''.
Here is a link to a youtube video, where you can see how to correctly and safely do the ''Adho Mukha Svanasana'' yoga pose. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYuJRSf0JaM

 Stanemo na sve cetiri, kao u pripremi za pozu Krava/Macka.
Kolena su pozicionirana direktno ispod kukova, zglobovi ispod ramena, prsti na rukama rasireni. Ledja prava, vrat prav, pogled usmeren ka podu, ramena daleko od usiju.(tzv. pozicija povrsine stola).
Sake pomerimo za duzinu sake unapred, savijemo prste na nogama i uz udah podiznemo kolena, podizemo  se na gore, kao da nas neko povuce za trticnu kost, sake su i dalje na zemlji, napravimo telom oblik obrnutog latinicnog slova ''V.''  (sika iznad)
Trudimo se da nam ledja budu prava, a kolena savijemo koliko god moramo.
Mozemo malo i da ''vozimo bicikl'', tj. da se oslanjamo na jednu, pa na drugu nogu.
Vrat treba da je slobodan, ako osetite da su vam ramena zgrcena uz vrat, povucite ih unazad dalje od vrata. Zamislite jednu pravu liniju od kukova do zglobova na rukama.
Disemo duboko, ostajemo u ovoj pozi nekoliko udaha i izdaha, a onda se polako vratimo uz izdah nazad na sve cetiri.

We start on all fours like in preparation for Cat/Cow pose, with knees placed directly underneath the hips and wrists underneath the shoulders, fingers spread wide. Flat back and neck, look torwards the floor, shoulders away from the ears. (so called tabletop position)
We move our palms forward for the lenght of the palms and crowl the toes under and with a deep breath in, we lift our kneese up, we lift up, as if someone were pulling our tail bone up to get into the position of the upsidedown letter ''V''. (the picture above) The palms are on the floor.
We try to keep our back streight and we bend our knees as generously as needed .
We can ''ride a bicycle'' a little, moving our weight from one leg to the other, alternating.

Neck should be free, if your shoulders are squeezed in your neck, pull the arms back a little, so that the neck is free. Imagine a streight line going from your hips to the wrists.
We breath deeply, staying in this pose for a few breaths in and out, then we slowly go back to tabletop position, back to all fours.

Dobrobiti joga poze ''Adho Mukha Svanasana'' su: oslobadja od umora, stresa i  umerene depresije, smiruje mozak, vraca energiju telu,oslobadja od glavobolje, nesanicu, bolova u kicmi i zamora, isteze ruke, ramena, noge, zadnju lozu, stopala, pomaze u oslobadjanju od simptoma menopauze, pomaze u prevenciji kod osteoporoze, poboljsava varenje, dobra je za visok krvni pritisak, sinusitis, astmu, ravna stopala...

Oprez kod glavobolja i visokog krvnog pritiska, poza se ne preporucuje za trudnice.

Benefits of  ''Adho Mukha Svanasana'' yoga pose are: relieves fatigue, stress, mild depression, calms the brain, energizes the body, relieves headache, insomnia, back pain and fatigue, stretches hands, arms, legs, shoulders, hamstrings, arches, it helps relieve symptoms of menopause, helps with prevention of osteoporosis, improves digestion, good for high blood pressure, sinusitis, asthma, flat feet..

Caution needed with headaches, high blood pressure and pose not recomended to be performed by pregnant women.

Eucerin DermatoCLEAN osvezavajuci gel za ciscenje i DermoPURIFYER piling ~ Moji utisci

Zdravo!
Danas cu podeliti sa vama svoje utiske o jednom cudesnom dvojcu -  Eucerin DermatoCLEAN osvezavajucem gelu za ciscenje i DermoPURIFYER pilingu.

 

Pocela sam da ih koristim pre vise od tri nedelje, pa mogu fino da vam ispricam kako su se ovi proizvodi pokazali kad je moje lice u pitanju.

Pre nego sto pocnem pricu o samim proizvodima, da napomenem da imam suvu, osetljivu kozu, mada mi leti vise odgovaraju proizvodi za normalnu/kombinovanu kozu.

Eucerin DermatoCLEAN osvezavajuci gel za ciscenje je proizvod namenjen nezi normalne i kombinovane koze, ali pise da ga takodje mogu koristiti i osobe sa osetljivom kozom, mada ne sa izuzetno osetljivom ili suvom kozom.

Dolazi u pakovanju od 200ml u bocici sa aplikatorom.

Ja sam ga nabavila u apoteci Srbotrade, gde kosta 656 dinara.

Ovaj gel ''uklanja sminku i pomaze kozi da lakse dise.'' 

Ja sam ga svega nekoliko puta koristila za skidanje sminke, iako ga inace koristim svakodnevno, i gel mi je svaki put lepo skinuo sminku sa lica.

Koristim ga ujutru i uvece kao gel za umivanje. Pokvasim lice, pa nanesem gel, istrljam lice blago kruznim pokretima i isperem. Ponekad prvo protrljam gel u rukama, cime se stvori malo pene, pa ga onda nanesem na lice i isperem. 

Gel je bezbojan i nema neki specifican miris, na slici ispod mozete da vidite kako izgleda.

 

Pise da gel sadrzi inovativnu  mesavinu: APG kompleks - izuzetno blago sredstvo za ciscenje; Gliko - Glicerol - koji stimulise stvaranje akvaporina 3, tj. distribuciju vode u samoj kozi, pomaze hidrataciju koze i stvaranje njene barijerne funkcije i Hijaluronsku kiselinu - koja odrzava vlaznost u kozi, vezujuci vodu za sebe.

Na slici ispod mozete procitati sastav.

I na kraju, sto se tice mojih utisaka - Lice mi je posle ciscenja ovim gelom glatko, cisto, osvezeno, mekano i elasticno i nema nikakvog zatezanja, sto je jako bitno.

Mom licu ovaj gel bas odgovara, nema iritacija. Nanosila sam ga i preko ociju, prilikom skidanja maskare i nije mi smetalo.

Jos jedan Eucerin preparat koji sam koristila cetiri puta u zadnje malo vise od tri nedelje je DermoPURIFYER piling - piling za problematicnu kozu sa mikrocesticama za ciscenje pora.

S obzirom na to da je ovaj piling iz linije koja je posvecena nezi problematicne, masne koze, sklone stvaranju akni, verovatno se pitate otkud taj piling kod mene...

Iskreno, ja nemam problem sa aknama, pojave mi se s vremena na vreme jedna ili dve, tu i tamo, ali stvarno retko. 

Desilo se da sam ga ja isprobala bas u momentu kad sam imala dve akne, negde kod cela sa obe strane i posto mi se pokazao odlicno, nisam odustala od njega, iako nije za moj tip koze.

Moja mama ima masnu kozu, tako da ovaj piling koristimo obe.

Piling dolazi u tubi, a pakovanje sadrzi 100ml proizvoda.
Ja sam ga kupila u Srbotrade apoteci gde kosta 729 din.

Preporucuje se da se piling nanese na lice jednom sedmicno, nakon cega se lice ispere vodom.

Pise da ovaj piling ''otpusava pore i cisti teksturu koze, dok smanjuje mitisere'' i

da ''deluje direktno na mestima problema, bez isusivanja koze''.  

Dakle ovaj piling ne isusuje kozu, sto je za mene jako bitno, naprotiv, koza mi je mekana i glatka posle koriscenja istog.

A sto se akni tice, mogu iz svog licnog iskustva da kazem da deluje. 

Prvi put kad sam ga nanela, kruznim pokretima, lagano masirajuci lice, nanela sam ga preko dve akne koje sam imala, ujutru od jedne akne nije bilo ni traga, dok je druga nestala u roku od dan, dva i od tad, vec tri nedelje nije mi se pojavila nijedna jedina.

Jeste da, kao sto sam rekla, generalno nemam problem sa aknama, ali da mi se ne pojavi nijedna jedina i to po ovim vrucinama, stvarno je neobicno.

Piling ima divan, osvezavajuci, opustajuci miris. Providan je sa plavim mikrocesticama koje blago masiraju kozu i otklanjaju izumrle celije sa koze.

Na slici ispod mozete videti kako piling izgleda.

Sto se mene tice, ja cu ovaj piling nastaviti da koristim, jer nisam primetila po bilo cemu da mi ne odgovara, naprotiv, koza mi je cista i nezna.

Na slici ispod mozete videti sastav:

Vrlo sam zadovoljna sa oba ova proizvoda i sa Eucerin proizvodima generalno.

Da li ste vi koristile neki od ovih proizvoda i kakva su vasa iskustva?

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa ~ Moji utisci / My impressions

Zdravo drage moje!

Danas zelim da podelim sa vama svoje utiske o Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa gel - kremi (krem - gelu) koju koristim, evo vec vise od dve nedelje.

Hello!
Today I would like to share with you my impressions about Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa gel - cream, which I've been using for over two weeks now.

 

Ja sam ovu gel kremicu dobila na poklon prilikom jedne porudzbine u apoteci Srbotrade, u pitanju je mini proizvod, pakovanje sadrzi 15g, za razliku od originalnog velikog pakovanja koje sadrzi 75g.

Ambalaza je staklena, sa belim poklopcem koji se zavrce.

I received this gel cream as a gift when ordering some other things at Srbotrade. It's a mini product that contains 15g, while the big gel creme contains 75g.



 Gel - krema je svetlo plave boje i ono cime me je osvojila i pre nego sto sam je stavila na lice, odmah po otvaranju, je miris.
Miris je prelep, opustajuci, nekako osvezavajuci...Savrsen za vece, da vas relaksira pred spavanje.

Gel cream is light blue in colour with beautiful scent - relaxing, refreshing...Perfect for evening to relax you before sleeping.

Ova gel - krema moze da se nanese u debljem sloju, pre spavanja, da se drzi 10-15 minuta, da se laganim pokretima umasira u kozu. Pise da se tako moze koristiti 1-3 puta nedeljno.

Ja je koristim svako vece, tako sto je pred spavanje, naravno posle umivanja, ciscenja lica nanesem u tanjem sloju. Koza istog momenta postane glatka, a ujutru je lepo hidrirana i osvezena. Nema znakova umora.

This  gel - cream can be applied in thick layer before bed, kept for 10-15 min, and massaged into the skin.It can be used 1-3 times a week like that.

I use it every day. I apply it in thin layer, after cleaning my face.
 The skin becomes soft instantly and in the morning it's hydrated and refreshed.

Pise da je ova gel krema za sve tipove koze, cak i za osetljivu, sto u mom slucaju definitivno stoji, ja imam suvu osetljivu kozu,  i da je za sve starosne dobi.
Sto se tice strukture to je nesto izmedju gela i lagane kremice
Nije gusta, lepljiva, nije masna i divno hidrira.
Koza je lepo upije.

It says that this gel cream is for all skin types, even for sensitive, and I have dry sensitive skin, and that it's for every age. 
It's structure is something between gel and light cream 
It's not thick, not oily and hydrates wonderfully.
The skin absorbs it nicely.

Sadrzi termalnu vodu i hijaluronsku kiselinu i ne sadrzi paraben.
Na slici ispod mozete videti sastav:

It contains thermal water and hyaluronate and no paraben.
You can see the ingredients in the photo below:

Jos jedna bitna stvar, bilo da je stavljate u debljem sloju 1-3 puta sedmicno ili u tanjem sloju svaki dan kao ja, ova gel - krema se ne trosi brzo.
Takva je da je dovoljno da uzmete sasvim malo pa da je nanesete na celo lice.
Ja je koristim vec dve nedelje, a potrosila sam tek malo s vrha, skoro da se i ne primeti.

Another important thing, whether you apply it 1-3 times a week in thick layer, or like me, every day in thin layer, this gel - cream it's not used out quickly.
It's enough to take a tiny bot of it to cover the whole face.
I've been using it for two weeks and I spent only a little bit from the top.

Danas ovu gel kremu od 75g mozete kupiti U Srbotrade apoteci po snizenoj ceni od 2387 din.
Ili mozete naruciti neki drugi Vichy proizvod i mozda dobiti ovu mini gel kremu od 15g na poklon (ako je ima na zalihama jos uvek), jer je Vichy promocija u toku. :)

Da li ste koristile ovu gel - kremu i kakvi su vasi utisci?
Have you been using this gel - cream and what are your impressions?

Nije PR proizvod. Vise informacija na sajtu Vichy.

Dr Colic maske za lice / Dr Colic Beauty Therapy Masks ~ Moji utisci /My Impressions

Zdravo drage moje,

pre nekoliko dana isprobala sam jednu Dr Colic masku za lice i u danasnjem postu podelicu svoje utiske sa vama.

Ja sam dve Dr Colic maske dobila na poklon prilikom jedne porudzbine u Srbotrade apoteci, vise o tome mozete procitati u ovom postu. 

Hi girls,

a few days ago I tried out one Dr Colic Beauty Therapy Mask for face and I will share my impressions with you in this post.

Maske koje sam dobila su: Dr Colic maska za lice - seme crnog grozdja i Dr Colic maska za lice - biljni proteini.

The masks I got are:  Dr Colic Beauty Therapy Mask - seed of black grapes and Dr Colic mask - plant proteins.

Evo sta o ovim maskama, izmedju ostalog,  pise na Dr Colic sajtu.
''Dr Colić Beauty Therapy maske posebno su kreirane za dubinsku negu kože lica i dekoltea.
... Dr Colić Beauty Therapy kolekcija maski kreirana je sa najefikasnijim prirodnim sastojcima koji deluju na konkretne potrebe vaše kože. Primena maske ima efekat spa tretmana na vaše lice i dekolte, delujući brzo i pružajući osećaj prijatnosti i zadovoljstva.
 Najbolji efekat se postiže kada se maske primenjuju jednom do dva puta nedeljno...
 Preporučuje se nanošenje maske uveče, na očišćenu kožu lica i dekoltea. Maska treba da stoji oko 20 minuta, nakon čega se nežan film aktivnih komponenti na koži može lagano umasirati.''

Odlucila sam da isprobam jednu, a drugu da dam mami. Mozda bi vise odgovaralo da sam njoj dala ovu od semena crnog grozdja, jer bas pise da je anti age, ali sam ja mislila da ce mirisati na grozdje, pa sam eto, najvise zbog mirisa odlucila da probam ovu. Maska, medjutim, nije mirisala na grozdje.
 Na Dr Colic sajtu ove maske mogu da se poruce za 330 din, ali mogu da se nadju i po nizoj ceni.

I tried one and gave the other one to my mum. I decided to try the one with the seeds of black grapes, because I thought the scent would be nice. The mask, however, didn't smell like grapes.
They can be bought for less than 3 euros.

Dr Colic maska za lice - seme crnog grozdja.
Dr Colic Beauty Therapy Mask - seed of black grapes

 

 

Maska je spakovana u kesici i kad se izvadi prilicno je mokra. U pitanju su prave anatomske papirne maske koja odgovaraju svakom licu, sa izrezima za oci, usta i nozdrve. Lako se stavlja na lice, ispred ogledala. Osecaj je malo cudan, ako ovakvu masku isprobavate prvi put.

Drzi se 20tak minuta na licu, zatim se skine i umasira. Pise da ne mora da se ispira, ali sam se ja, ipak, posto sam je umasirala u lice, umila.

Dok je maska bila na licu nije bilo nikakvog posebnog osecaja, osim vrlo, vrlo blagog peckanja na par mesta, ali posle umivanja osecala sam kao da mi lice blago hladi; osecaj je bio prijatan. Takodje, imala sam utisak da mi je ten blistaviji i ujednaceniji, a koza veoma glatka.

The mask is packed inside a plastic bag and when you take it out it's really wet. They are real anatomy paper masks with open wholes for eyes, mouth and nose. It's easy to put it on in front of the mirror.

The feeling is somewhat unusual, if you use this mask for the first time.

You keep it on for about 20 minutes, then take it off and massage it in your face. It says your face doesn't need to be rinsed afterwards, but I did wash my face.

There was no special feeling while the mask was on the face, especially some slight tingling, but after taking it off and washing face, there was some feel of coolness on the face, which was comfortable. Also, my face was with better tan and glow and the skin was very smooth.

Na slici ispod mozete videti kako izgleda, ja sam je posle koriscenja stavila na parce folije da je slikam.
U rukama je poput deblje vlazne maramice.

You can see in the picture bellow what they look like. I took a photo after using it.
In the hands it feels like a baby wipe.

Na slici ispod mozete da vidite sta proizvodjac kaze u vezi sa ovom maskom, kao i sastav.

You can see the ingredients in the picture bellow.

Drugu Dr Colic masku za lice - biljni proteini je, kao sto sam vec rekla, isprobala moja mama i njeni utisci su otprilike kao i moji.

Ona se takodje umila posto je skinula masku.

Dr Colic Beauty Therapy Mask - plant proteins , like I said was used by my mum and her impressions are pretty much the same.

She also washed her face after taking the mask off.

Sto se mirisa tice, obe maske mirisu slicno, ali to nije neki poseban miris i ne znam uopste kako bih ga opisala.

Evo sta proizvodjac kaze o masci biljni proteini i tu je takodje sastav.

As for the scent, both masks smell about the same, but it's no special scen and I wouldn't know how to describe it.

Here are the ingredients:

Prvi put sam probala ovakve maske, za pravi efekat, verujem da moraju da se koriste vise od jednom.

Mogla bih da probam jos neke. :)

I tried this type of masks for the first time and for the real effect, I believe you have to use them more than once.

I could try some more. :)

Da li ste vi koristile Dr Colic maske za lice i kakvi su vasi utisci?

Have you been using these, or this type of face masks and what  are your impressions?

New In ~ Noviteti

Zdravo!

Nadam se da ste svi danas u nekoj debeloj hladovini!

Evo nekih noviteta koji su stigli 30 juna. Pogadjate vec? Naruceno iz apoteke  Srbotrade :)

Hello!
I hope you are all in some really good shade today.
Here are some of the products that arrived on June 30th. You guessed already? Ordered at 
Srbotrade. :)

 

Odlucila sam da iskoristim zadnju Eucerin promociju leta, gde sam za dva izabrana Eucerin proizvoda cija vrednost zajedno prelazi 1000 din., izabrala jedan Eucerin proizvod na poklon.

Pored toga isti dan bila je promocija Sebamed proizvoda koji su bili na akciji 37%, pa sam narucila ulje za tusiranje.

Ostale stvarcice koje ukljucuju dve Dr Colic maske za lice, Vichy mini kremu i dva uzorka Vichy sampona za kosu su bili - pokloni!! 

I decided to use the last Eucerin promotion this summer in Srbotrade, where for two products which cost together over 8,5 euros,you got to choose a gift - which is not a mini product, but a full size one.

Other than that Sebamed was on a 37% discount the same day, so I ordered their shower oil.

Other things which include Dr Colic face masks, Vichy cream and two samples of Vichy shampoos were gifts!

Od Eucerin proizvoda narucila sam Sampon za kosu protiv peruti, 250ml kosta 720 din, zatim Eucerin Dermopurifyer piling, 100ml kosta 729 din. 

Sampon sam koristila vec par puta, a piling dvaput. Moram da kazem da su mi zasad utisci pozitivni. 

Kao poklon izabrala sam Eucerin DermatoClean osvezavajuci gel za ciscenje lica, koji inace kosta 656 din, a boca je od 200ml. Koristim ga vec svakodnevno i utisci su takodje pozitivni.

From Eucerin products I ordered Shampoo for hair, 250ml costs 6euros, then Eucerin Dermopurifyer piling, 100ml kosts also about 6 euros.

I used shampoo a couple ot times and pilling twice. I must say that for now the impressions are positive. :) 

As a gift I chose Eucerin DermatoClean gel for cleaning face, which otherwise costs over 5 euros, and the bottle contains 200ml. I've been using it daily and the impressions are also positive.

Sledeca stvar koju sam kupila je Sebamed ulje za tusiranje. Pakovanje od 200 ml mene je kostalo manje od 500 din, jer je bilo na 37% popustu, a inace kosta 750 din.

Dve Dr Colic maske - Biljni proteini i seme crnog grozdja bili su pokloni, a inace na Dr Colic sajtu mogu da se poruce za 330 din, ali mislim da mogu da se kupe i po nizoj ceni.

Nista od ovog jos nisam isprobala.

Another thing I bought is Sebamed shower oil. The package of 200ml costed less than 5 euros, because of the 37% discount. Otherwise it costs over 6 euros.

Two Dr Colic face masks were gifts, and on the Dr Colic site they costs  a little less than 3 euros each, but they can be bought for less than that too.

I haven't tried any of these yet.

I za kraj, jos pokloncica. :) Mini Vichy gel krema za lice Aqualia Thermal night spa, 15 ml.

Originalno pakovanje od 75 ml kosta 2540 din.

Koristim je svakodnevno i mogu a kazem da mi se jako svidja, a miris je divan, opustajuci.

Tu su takodje bila i dva uzorka Vichy sampona za kosu - Dercos Mineral soft, 7ml. Jos uvek ih nisam isprobala.

And finally, more gifts. :) Mini Vichy face gel cream Aqualia Thermal night spa, 15 ml.

Original package of 75 ml costs over 20 euros.

I have been using it daily and I must say I like it, the scent is very relaxing.

There were also included two Vichy hair shampoos - Dercos Mineral soft, 7ml.

I haveen't tried them yet.

I za kraj, s obzirom na to da sam porucila zajedno sa sestrom, pa smo tako i postarinu od svega 300 din podelile, da vidite, uz sve njene i moje poklone (sve Sebamed male kutijice, 7 ukupno su pokloncici) koliko stvari smo dobile za oko 3500 din!!

And at the end, since I ordered together with my sister, so we even shared the postage of 2,5 euros, I wanted you to see with all our gifts ( all the small Sebamed packages - 7 of them were gifts), how many things we got for about 30 euros...

Hvala apoteci Srbotrade, stvarno sam prezadovoljna! Najbolji su bez konkurencije, za sad iskljucivo kod njih narucujem. :)

Lumene Bright Now Blur - Line & Pore Minimizer My Impressions /Moji utisci

Zdravo, devojke! 

Danas cu vam preneti svoje utiske o Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer - prajmeru koji ja koristim. Sadrzi arkticku mocvarnu jagodu (cloudberry), koja je bogata antioksidantima i stiti kozu od prevremenog starenja. Smanjuje vidljivost pora i linija na licu, cineci ga besprekorno glatkim.
Ne sadrzi ulje.

Prvo sam testirala uzorak nekoliko dana pocetkom maja, a onda sam kasnije resila da kupim i ceo proizvod.

Lumene kozmetika nije dostupna ovde, ali moze da se poruci online.

Hi girls!

Today I will share with you my impressions about Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer - primer which I use. It contains arctic cloudberry, which is rich in antioxidants and it protects skin from aging.
It lessens visibility of pores and lines on the face, making it instantly really smooth.
Oil free.

First I tested a sample for a few days at the beginning of May and then later I decided to buy the whole product.

Lumene isn't available here, but you can buy it online.

Imam suvu kozu i ne bas prosirene pore. Ovo su moja iskustva sa  Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer - om.
Proizvodi koji odgovaraju meni, ne znaci nuzno a ce odgovarati i vama. 
 
Prvi dan tokom koriscenja uzorka ovog proizvoda, nanela sam ga na lice desetak minuta posto sam nanela kremu koju inace koristim.

Ono sto sam istog trenutka primetila to je da mi je lice postalo neverovatno glatko, nijedne neravnine.

Taj prvi dan sam odlucila da ne stavljam nikakav puder preko, da bih videla kako mi lice reaguje na sam prajmer.

Plasila sam se da ne pocne da se guli, jer kad sam ga razmazala izmedju prstiju da osetim teksturu, jeste se gulio, ali se to na licu ne desava. 

Ne guli se sa lica cak ni posle celog dana. Izuzetno je postojan.
Dolazi u plasticnoj tubi od 30 ml i kosta 15 evra.

I have dry, sensitive skin and not very big pores. These are my experiences with  Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer.
Products that suits me, doesn't necessarily mean that will suit you. 
 

First day of using this product, I applied it on my face 10 minutes after applying a cream which I normally use. 

What I instantly noticed is that the skin on my face became really very smooth.

That first day I decided to not put any powder, to see how my face reacts on this primer. 

I was afraid that the primer would start peeling, because when I put it inbetween my fingers to check the texture it did peel a little, but that doesn't happen on the face. 

It doesn't peel from the face even after a whole day. It's really long lasting.
It comes in a plastic tube that contains 30 ml of the product. It costs 15 euros.

Druga stvar koja mi je bila bitna je ta sto nije tezak za moje lice, nemam utisak kao da sam stavila neku masku, naprotiv, imam utisak kao da sam stavila neku laganu kremu.

Boja mu je bela, sa primesama blago, blago rozikaste. 

Another very important thing to me is that it's not heavy on my face, it doesn't give this feeling of having a mask on your face, the contrary, it feels as if you have put a light cream on your face. 
 The colour is white with a tiny bit of very pale rose.

 

Sledeci dan i narednih nekoliko puta koristila sam podlogu preko (Lumene Nude Perfection Fluid Foundation - takodje tesetr koji sam zelela da isprobam) i mogu da kazem da sam je lakse, ravnomerno nanela i da je prajmer produzio trajnost cele sminke na licu svaki put.

Tih dana su takodje bile neke vrucine i bas 6. maja po povratku sa Slave, kasno popodne, pogledala sam se u ogledalo ocekujuci da vidim nista od sminke, medjutim, jako sam se prijatno iznenadila kad sam videla da je sve, puder, rumenilo..na svom mestu. I da mi lice deluje nekako sveze, kao da sam se tek nasminkala.  Lice mi se nije sijalo, samo nos malo (za sta krivim puder) vec je bilo lepo matirano.

To je bilo dovoljno razloga da pozelim da kupim ovaj proizvod.

S obzirom na to da se ne sminkam svaki dan, verujem da ce dugo da mi traje.

The next day and a few times after that I used a foundation over it (Lumene Nude Perfection Fluid Foundation - a tester which I also wated to try) and I must say that it was so easy to apply it evenly and thanks to the primer,  the makeup on my face did last longer every time

It was very hot during those days too, and on the May 6th, after coming back from ''Slava'', in the late afternoon, I looked in the mirror expecting to see no makeup left on my face, but I was very positively surprised when I noticed that everything powder, blush... was on it's place. 

And that my face looked kind of fresh, as if I had just put makeup on it.
There was no shine (except on my nose a little for which I blame the powder), my face was nicely matte.

That was enough reasons for me to wish to buy this product. 

And since I don't put makeup every day, I'm sure it will also last long. 

Na slici ispod mozete videti sastav.

In the picture bellow you can see the ingredients:

Kao sto sam vec pomenula, ja inace nemam mnogo vidljive pore ili linije, imam jedan manji oziljak (od boginja), tako da ne znam koliko bi dobar ovaj pore minimizer (prajmer) bio dobar za one koji bas imaju vidljive prosirene pore, pretpostavljam da bi, ali ja mogu da govorim samo o svom iskustvu.
Like I already said,  I don't have big pores or lines on my face, just one tiny scar, so I don't know how good would this pore minimizer be for those who have very big pores, I guess it would be good, but I can talk only about my own experience.

Koji vi prajmer koristite i kako ste zadovoljne istim?

Da li ste probale nesto od Lumene kozmetike?

Which primer do you use and are you satisfied with it?

Have you tried any of the Lumene products?

Junski favoriti / June Favourites

Zdravo devojke,

na red je dosao post o proizvodima koje svrstavam u favorite meseca juna.

Kao sto mozete da vidite na slici ispod, nema bas mnogo proizvoda, a dekorative uopste, izuzev jednog laka za nokte.

Hello girls,

it's time to write a post about June Favourites.
Not many products as you can see in the picture bellow and no make up at all, except for one nail polish.

Nije da nisam koristila vise proizvoda, ali sam vecinu, recimo, pocela da koristim relativno skoro i iako su utisci pozitivni, mislim da ih nisam koristila dovoljno dugo da bi ih stavila u favorite. To, medjutim, verovatno znaci da ce julskih favorita biti mnogo vise. :)

Sto se, pak, dekorative tice, koristila sam uglavnom isto sto i u maju, pa ne bih da se ponavljam.

Post sa majskim favoritima mozete pogledati ovde.

Neki proizvodi su se medju favoritima nasli ocekivano, dok drugi potpuno neocekivano. Pa da krenemo.

I did use more products during June, but many of those I have just started using and even though the impressions are good, I don't think I've used them long enough to list them among the favourites. There will be more products in the July Favourites post. :)
The make up I used is pretty much the same I used in May, so not to repeat myself. You can read my May Favourites post here.

 Dva proizvoda kojima, ako pratite moj blog, znate da sam trenutno potpuno odusevljena su:  
Eucerin pH5 ulje za tusiranje o kom sam svoje utiske iznela u ovom postu
i naravno cuveno NUXE carobno suvo ulje o kom sam opsirno pisala ovde.

I jedan i drugi proizvod potpuno zasluzeno u favoritima, meni odgovaraju,dobro mi hidriraju kozu, jednom recju - savrsena nega.

Oba ulja su kupljena, tj. narucena online u apoteci Srbotrade.

Two products which I'm delighted with at the moment are Eucerin pH5 shower oil about which I wrote in this post.
and of course NUXE Huile Prodigieuse about which I wrote here.
Both very well deserved to be among the favourites, they suit me, hydrate my skin well - perfect care in one word.

 Zatim jedan Velnea balzam za ruke i nokte od 30 ml, koji sam cisto onako, usput, uzela. 

Cesto sam ga koristila u toku juna, jos ga nisam potrosila. Losion je lagan, nije gust, prijatnog je mirisa. Ono sto mi se posebno svidja je to sto je za jacanje noktiju, a to ce meni tek biti potrebno, jer sam konacno odlucila da se vratim na prirodne nokte! :) Sadrzi Aloe Veru,vitamin E i keratin. Kupljen u Lilly -ju

Tu je, zatim, Titania krema za stopala sa ureom. Nisam previse ocekivala od nje i malo sam se razocarala kad sam videla da sadrzi paraben, ali sam je svakodnevno koristila u toku juna i ucinkovitost ne mogu da joj osporim -  naime, pete su mi savrseno glatke. Tako da se sa punim pravom nalazi rame uz rame s ostalim proizvodima u ovom postu. Takodje je kupljena u Lilly-ju.

Medju favoritima se, naravno, nasla i Balea so za kupanje sa mirisom jasmina i tresnjinog cveta.
 To su kao neki mali mirisljavi kristali roze boje. Ja sam je stavljala vec par puta u kupku za stopala, a vise o tome mozete procitati u ovom postu.
Miris je divan, opustajuci i iskreno, evo sad dok pisem ovaj post, jedva cekam da ponovo pripremim kupku za moja stopala i uzivam 20tak minuta, uz naravo, divan miris ove Balea soli. :)

A, cim se pomene tresnjin cvet, ja odmah zamisljam Japan i gejse koje setaju u svojim sarenim kimono-ima, sa suncobranima i naravno, sve me to odmah asocira na jednu od mojih omiljenih knjiga koju sam procitala dva puta do sad ~ Memoari jedne gejse.

Then there is Velena balm for hands and nails, 30 ml. I used it often in June. It's ligt, not thick, with nice scent. Contains Aloe Vera, vitamine E and keratene. Perfect for nails, which is good, because I have just decided to return to my natural nails.

Then we have Titania foot cream with urea. I didn't expect much from it and I was a little disappointed when I noticed that it contained parabene, but I've been using it daily in June and I can't say that it's not effective, my feet are really smooth. So, it deserved it's place among the favourites in this post. 

Among my favourites is, of course, Balea salt with the scent of jasmine and cherry blossoms. 
Like small pink scented crystals. I used them a couple of times by now for my hot bath for feet. You can read more about it here.
The scent is beautiful, relaxing and honestly, while writing this, I can't wait to prepare the hot bath for my feet ad enjoy for about 20 mins., using this Balea salt, of course.

And as soon as the Cherry Blossoms are mentioned I think of Japan and Geishas with their colourful kimonos and parasols and I can't help remembering one of my favourite books, which I read twice by now ~ Memoirs of A Geisha.

Tu je i jedan lak za nokte, Lumene Gloss and Care #41 - Golden Sand. Ovaj lak je medju favoritima, jer mi se boja najvise svidja od svih lakova koje sam koristila u toku ovog meseca, plus tu su sljokice, a ja sljokicave lakove obozavam. 

Volim ga i zato sto dugo traje, a ima siroku cetkicu, pa se vrlo brzo i lako nanosi. 

Takodje je dovoljno naneti ga u jednom sloju, mada ja uvek lakove nanesem u dva sloja.

I na kraju jedan proizvod za negu usana - MUUMI balzam sa mirisom pomorandze. I ukus i miris su divni, a takodje je i sa SPF15, sto je dodatan plus.  Pakovanje sadrzi 5,7 g proizvoda, sto je vise nego sto sam navikla da balzami za usne tj. labela koje kupujem sadrze.

Oba proizvoda su pokloni od supruga, te im ne znam cenu.

There is one nail polish,  Lumene Gloss and Care #41 - Golden Sand. This nail polish is among my favourites, because of all the nail polishes I used this month, this colour I like the best, plus it has gliter and I love glitter. Nail polish is good, long lasting, easily applied with wide brush. One layer is enough, but I always put nail polishes in two layers.

And finally a products for lips - MUUMI lipbalm with the scent of orange. The scent and taste are really nice and there is also SPF 15 , which is another plus. The package contains 5,7 g of the product, which is more than I'm used to find in the lipbalms I buy.

Both products are gifts from my husband.
