Favourites in 2010

I'll start with skincare. So far my favourites are: Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Wash & Mask  I use it mostly as a mask, I do use it sometimes as a cleanser and I like it a lot. It's my favourite face mask, it makes my skin look so much healthier and it's really cheap for the amount you get. Uporabljam jo...

Avon SuperShock Gel Eyeliners

I ordered a couple of things from Avon: two SuperShock gel eyeliners in black and plumful. The black one is absolutely the blackest eyeliner I ever tried and it has  fantastic staying power. It literally doesn't budge after it dries, which takes about half a minute, but blends nicely before it dries. Plumful is a nice plum colour, also very pigmented and soft,...

Haul - Manhattan and Alverde

Manhattan Soft Mat Cream in 54L I couldn't resist buying another one of Manhattan's Soft Mat Creams. I just adore them (I previously raved about them here and here). So here are swatches of 54L, which is a dusty rose colour. Isn't it gorgeous? Nisem se mogla upreti, da ne bi kupila še enega izmed Manhattan Soft Mat Cream-ov. Obožujem jih, o njih...

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcreams

I already raved about these lipcreams, which are amazing. They feel like liquid lipsticks, are very pigmented, and dry mat. I recently purchased shade called 53M, which is peachy-pink. Swatches of 45H and 56K can be found here. Today I swatched all 6 colours available together and I think I'll also buy 54L. They are about 6-7€ and are quite heavily scented, the...

Manhattan, Lush, L'Occitane

Manhattan Magic Duo eyeshadow in Chrystal Plum is a part of LE called Diamonds are a Girls... I love, love, love the darker colour (darkened plum) and they are both really pigmented, but staying power is incredibly poor (no matter what I use underneath). It starts fading so fast, what a pity. The plum eyeshadow is matte, the lighter pinkish eyeshadow has some...

Ombia Multicolored Rouge

I found it in Hoffer. Of course I didn't expect much, Hoffer is not renouned for high quality make up, but I like this blush. Swirled together looks a bit sheer, more of a highlighter type blush, but if I use only the darkest colour (which is really pigmented) it gives me a lovely peachy flush. The middle colour is an average highlighter,...

My Current Hair Care

I have long, curly, dry, stubborn hair that hate rainy days and give me much trouble with trying to tame them (usually my only weapons are hair straightener or curler). I also have severe dandruff for some time now. I tried much of the products  available here in Slovenia, from Oronazol , Fitoval (neither of the two was particularity effective), Vichy (the old...

Nars Lip Lacquer Chelsea Girls and DiorKiss Cotton Candy

I almost forgot I have this lacquer, probably because I never really liked it much. I'm not that bothered by the fact that it comes in a pot, I apply it with a TBS lip brush. The problem is the consistency, which is very thick and tacky. Another problem is the colour, I expected it to be more nude (however I am very...

Alverde Eyeshadows in Magic Sage and Rose Garden

Zauberwald LE finally reach our DMs too. I only bought one eyeshadow in the shade 311 Magic Sage, which is a silvery taupe with a bit of golden shimmer, still it's more of a satin finish. It's such a beautiful shade (I suspect it might be similar to Mac's Smoke & Diamonds) . It really pigmented and soft, I'm not really sure about...

Bourjois Sweet Kiss Naturel Lipstick Swatches + Some Givenchy & Deborah

Bourjois has a new range of lipstick called Sweet Kiss Naturel. Quoted from their website: ''It's formula of 100% natural origin bring radiance and care to the lips.'' They felt a bit drying when I swatched them and they have a semi-mat finish, none of the shades contains shimmer (yay!). I like 05 and 06 a lot. 05 look really dark in the...

Haul - Calvin Klein Euphoria and Gliss Oil Nutritive

I was planning to buy edp, but I mistakenly bought edt. However I still like it a lot. It's very fruity at the beginning, than it turns into a oriental floral scent. Gliss Oil Nutritive Repair-Butter Mask I was immediately drawn to this mask when I saw shea butter in 3. place on the ingredients list. The mask is very thick in consistency...
