Colours of the Rainbow Tag
četrtek, junij 27, 2013
This tag was really popular a few months back, but I still see an occasional post popping up. So the rules are to take all seven colours of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) plus pink and multi-coloured, and talk about your favourite beauty or fashion item that fits with those colours. I honestly enjoyed doing this tag and this definitely one of the most colourful posts I ever posted.
I could choose any of my red lipsticks here, as I really enjoy wearing them and I wear them frequently. I chose Floral Glam not just because it's currently my favourite red, but also because it's a lip cream and they are my favourite type of lip colours as they are very pigmented, last so long and have a matte finish. I did a comparison of most my red shades in the review for this lip cream and Floral Glam is an orange based red that bears a lot of resemblance to Mac's Lady Danger and MUA's 13 (again some of my favourites).
I never realised I have so many thing that are orange! And all the good stuff actually. So naturally I had difficulties picking one and I cheated a bit by making a second picture of my other choice - The Body Shop Vineyard Peach body butter here. I could include the entire Nutritive line from Kérastase here, well at least the products I got, because all of them all fantastic. I just keep getting more and more impressed by this mask. Every time I use it, everyday is a good hair day and I think that sums it up just nicely.
It was the most obvious choice out of all. I have, after all, been using it every day for more than two years as a face moisturiser. It made my skin so radiant and healthy looking not to mention very soft. It is a multi-purpose product and I also use it for my body and occasionally on my hair, it even works as a lip balm if you don't have anything else handy. Definitely a product worth the hype.
MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL Healing Oil Treatment
I would be really odd for me not to include at least one of the hair "oils". Since Nuxe oil took top place in the yellow category leaving no place for Orofluido, Macadamia was the best choice for green. They all perform so similarly that the only thing really differentiating them is the scent. Macadamia might not have the best scent in the world (mind you, some adore it, but get the sample size first just to be sure), but it is great for dry hair and I find it to be the one with the best defrizzing and shine properties.

I had difficulties choosing the blue product that deserves the top spot. I have many, but none really stands out. I decided then on what is the most obvious choice for me because I've been using this hairspray for years, particularly when I curl my hair. I never really talked about it apart from saying it has a tropical scent, but it doesn't make your hair stiff or sticky and manages to hold my curls in a decent condition for days.
MAX FACTOR Khol Pencil in Natural Glaze
This is one of those unsung heroes that I've been using everyday for years on my waterline and a bit in my inner corner to make the eyes look more awake and bigger. It's a fantastic fleshtoned eyeliner with peachy tones for an affordable price. If you don't have it yet, you need it.

This is my signature Summer scent which smells like a refreshing tropical fizzy drink. Sadly it doesn't last long, about an hour, but respraying it offers an instant refreshment on hotter days.
This was the only scent that I wore for over a year, so it definitely deserves the top spot among "the pinks". It's a very girly fragrance, featuring a delicious blend of kiwi and lichee notes with vanilla and white chocolate. Yeah you'll smell like sweets and cupcakes, but to me it's a comforting scent and I'm a fan of such sweet fragrances. The projection and staying power is exceptional for a celebrity fragrance and you can find good deals online, so it's reasonably priced.
Finding a multicoloured item wasn't an easy task, I don't even have any apart from the palettes. Sleek's Original one has been in my collection for quite a while, but I use it very rarely. The reason is that I rarely wear bright coloured eyeshadows (or any really) but if I need a bright blue, violet or green this the place to look. It's an affordable palette for those who want to experiment with colours. By the way, Sleek palettes have one of the best black eyeshadows.
I added a category with the mint green/teal/turquoise/ blue-green shades, since it is (are) my favourite colour(s) and selected Essie Mint Candy Apple. It's THE mint nail polish and has received many raves not just from me, but also from other beauty bloggers. I must admit, it is not the easiest polish to apply, yet I wear it the most out of all of my nail polishes. I have a few dupes, Depend 245 is pretty much a spot on dupe as is the already discontinued You Belong to Me by Essence.
If you find this tag fun, feel free to do it yourself.
Have a great day!

Zanimive izbire:) Obožujem parfume od Britney in Fantasy je najbolj sladkast:) Kje pa kupuješ Victoria's Secret izdelke? Na njihovi strani?
OdgovoriIzbrišiIz eBaya od nekega britanskega prodajalca :). VS stran ima previsoko poštnino.
IzbrišiKako si lepo pofotkala :) Ti je moglo kr malo časa vzeti :) Od Macadamie si morm že it iskat al masko in pa tole Nuxe olje me kar malo mami .. Misliš da je ok tudi za mastno kožo? :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiHvala :) Je kar trajalo, ampak mi je bilo prav veselje vse zlagat in slikat.
IzbrišiRavno danes sem gledala en video od britanske bloggerke Gh0stparties, ki pravi da je tudi ona imela mastno kožo, potem je pa začela poleg vlažilnih krem tudi olja uporabljat in se ji je koža izboljšala. Sprobaj, saj če ti ne bo ustrezal za kožo na obrazu ga še vedno lahko uporabljaš za telo in lase :)
Hvala ti res :)
Izbrišip.s.: imaš mogoče FB, Instagram? :)
IzbrišiNimam, imam le Pinterest http://pinterest.com/koby21/
IzbrišiNuxe olje je že en čas na moji WL, ker ga vse tako hvalite. Res si super naredila ta post in všeč mi je, ker si dodala mint barvo, ki je meni tudi ljuba. Jaz sem se že tudi spravila delat ta tag, ampak se mi ustavi pri indigo, ker težko najdem kak izdelek v tej barvi, moram še malo pobrskati okrog. Mislim, da bom naredila tvojo verzijo in dodala še mint barvo. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiJaz sem šla prav raziskovat kaj točno paše pod indigo. Zame je bila to vedno nekakšna bolj živo temno modra, ampak spada zraven tudi midnight blue in celo temno vijolično-modra. Se je potem izkazalo da imam kar nekaj stvari, ki pašejo pod to barvo. Mint barvo sem pa enostavno morala dodat :)
IzbrišiI really enjoy this post! Mateja is the BEST Beauty Blogger :)))

OdgovoriIzbrišiSo bile bolj video verzije popularne. Hvala :)
IzbrišiZdaj moram pa še enkrat v drogerijo in najti tole kožno barvico, ker je tako barvo pri nas kar težko dobiti
OdgovoriIzbrišiŠe to je težko dobit, kolikor sem gledala jo imajo v Müllerju, v DM-u pa ne.
IzbrišiAmazing tag! Should do it sometime soon, it's so uplifting <3
OdgovoriIzbrišiI honestly had so much fun taking photos for it :)
