My cousin and I ordered quite a lot of stuff from feelunique.com (they offer free shipping worldwide). I think it took about a week and a half for the order to arrive. On the first picture is my part of the order - St. Tropez self tan bronzing mousse, Redken All Soft conditioner, Maybelline Dream Touch blush in Peach (review of it in another post) and I also bought St.Tropez application mitt, but it's not in the picture. My cousin also ordered St. Tropez mousse, other items were Jemma Kidd creme blush in Guava (a very pigmented, bright pink shade) and Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning for face and decollete (she gave me some of it, I have it in an old L'Occitane bottle).

First of, swatches of Jemma Kidd Blushwear Creme Cheek Colour in Guava. See how bright it is? Of course you have to use a light hand when applying it, but it gives a beautiful pinky flush.

And the best part of the haul: St. Tropez self tan bronzing mousse. I am super pale and I rarely tan even if I sunbathe (I actually prefer to stay in the shade). This is the best self tanner I ever used. I smells amazing, sort of floral and fresh (I used to have a shower gel that smelled very similar, I believe it was called Fresh Summer by Duschdas). It's a bronze mousse, which is handy because you can see where you applied it. I use a mitt and it buffs the tan beautifully. When I used it for the first time, it did apply a bit streaky, but it was my fault, because I got my arm wet to soon after application. The second time it looked flawless, with no streaks. It dries in a minute, so you can get dressed after a few minutes and it doesn't transfer to the clothes or sheets. The tan you get look so natural and beautiful, and it's dark enough even after one application (my cousin was amazed by the results). You have to wash your hands thoroughly after application (preferably every time you apply it on a certain part of the body or you'll get dark hands). Also I apply some moisturiser on my elbows, knees hands and feet before applying tan. Here's a video on how to apply it click. I find  that it does smell a bit of self tanner, but it actually so mild, you can cover it with a body moisturiser. All in all a great self tanner.

It's very expensive (around 25 pounds for 236 ml) but it's so much better that your run-of-the-mill drugstore tan. I highly recommend it.

The application mitt - It very expensive (3,5 pounds) considering how cheaply it's made. I felt a bit stupid paying that much for it, but there is no cheaper alternative available on feelunique or here in Slovenia.

Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning for face and decollete - It's a very light lotion that you apply with a cotton pad. It doesn't get streaky at all. It's not as dark as St. Tropez, with one application you get just a touch of colour, more of a healthy glow actually. It smells lovely and it doesn't have that self tan scent at all. It feels very light on the skin and doesn't make my skin oily or clog my pores. You get 125 ml for 15,20 pounds. Another product I'd recommend.

Highlighters are one of my favourite make up product. A touch of highlighter on the top of the cheekbones, (also down the nose and on the cupid's bow) just gives that final touch to your make up. But you have to be careful when applying it, because you don't want to make it look to obvious. You don't want to have a very visible shimmery stripe on your cheekbones that just screams ''I'm wearing to much highlighter'' (unless that's what you're going for), you just want it to look like your skin is healthy and dewy. The key is to blend your highlighter with your foundation. I've learned this trick from Lisa Eldridge, who is one of my favourite make up guru's on Youtube (I'll post the video at the end of the post). What you want to do is to apply your (in this case liquid or cream) highlighter after you applied your foundation (rather than only after blush) and really blend it into your skin. Than apply blush and blend a bit of highlighter again on your cheekbones and blending it with your blush. It's a great trick and it makes your skin look amazing.

Highlighterji oz.osvetljevalci so eni izmed mojih najljubših izdelkov. Malo osvetljevalca na vrhu ličnic da tisti svetleč in zdrav videz, ter poveže celotni make up. Ampak z njim je treba biti previden, namreč nihče ne želi imeti očitne svetleče črte na obrazu, ki kar kriči ''imam preveč osvetljevalca'' (razen če si tak videz pač želite). Ključno je da zabrišete osvetljevalec v samo podlago, tako da ni vidnih prehodov. Ta trik sem se naučila od Lise Eldridge, ki je ena izmed mojih naljubših make up gurujev na Youtubu (ta posnetek bom dodala na konec te objave). Osvetljevalec (v tem primeru najboljše tekoči ali kremni) nanesite zatem ko ste nanesle podlago (torej pred nanosom blusha) in zabrišite vse prehode. Nato nanesite blush in spet zabrišite malenkost highligterja na ličnice in ga zabrišite še malo v sam blush.

 1. Essence Moonlight Collection LE Shimmer Powder - a very light highlighter, not particularity pigmented. Because it's so subtle I actually prefer to use it on my cheeks or on top of blush to give it that extra luminosity./ je bolj malo pigmentiran in zato, ker ni tako očiten, ga raje uporabljam za lička in čez blush da dodam tak zdrav sijaj. Podoben osvetljevalec, ki mi je zelo všeč pa ga nimam sama, je iz Blossom etc. LE.

2. E.l.f. Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder - It's to light to be a bronzer, but it's a great cheap highlighter with golden tones. It's very pigmented and soft, price-wise it's a bargain (1,7€), but the packaging is really cheap looking (then who cares considering the price). Again, it works very well alone on the cheeks or on top of blush. It's a great colour for summer, when you have a bit of colour./ Naj vas ime ne zavede ni bronzer, ker je presvetel, ampak je super in poceni osvetljevalec z zlatimi toni. Je precej pigmentiran in mehek, je izjemno poceni (1,7€), ter embalaža je izjemno slabo narejena (ampak za 1,7 € kaj boljšega ne moreš pričakovat). Je super za poletje ko imaš že nekaj barve. Kot Essencovega ga rada uporabljam na ličkih samih in čez blush.

3. High Beam by Benefit - Expensive (around 20€), but you get a massive amount. You only need a little amount so it will last you ages. The packaging is like an oversized Essence nail polish. It has a nail polish type applicator. This one is my current choice of highlighter (apart from Jemma Kidd's one). Because it's liquid, you can get the most natural result, but you can really go heavy on this one. / Je zelo drag (okrog 20€), ampak dobiš ogromno količino. Potrebuješ ga nanesti res majhno količino, zato dvomim da mi ga bo kdaj uspelo porabit (rok trajanja je le 6 mesecev, kar mi je čudno). Embalaža je kot malo večji lak za nohte od Essence, dejansko je čopič kot od laka. Trenutno največ uporabljam ta osvetljevalce, poleg Ice Gold od Jemme Kidd. Ker je tekoč se z njim dobi zelo naraven sijaj, ker se ga da lepo zabrisat, ampak ni ga težko nanesti tudi preveč.

4. Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Radiance Creme in Ice Gold - one of my two favourite highlighters ever (the other one being Mac Vanilla pigment). It's so easy to use (I use fingers), simply because it's a cream. The packaging is great with a big mirror. I always have it in my make up bag, it's easy to touch it up whenever you need or want. It gives the most natural, dewy result / Eden izmed dveh mojih najljubših osvetljevalcev (drugi je Macov pigment Vanilla). Je zelo enostaven za uporabo, jaz ga nanašam kar s prsti, se lepo zblenda in zabriše, da res naraven sijoč videz, skratka super. Embalaža je primerna za potovanja, ima veliko ogledalo tako da lahko kadarkoli popraviš make up.

But don't feel limited by the description of the product. You can use an shimmery eyeshadow as highlighter. I found quite a few shimmery eyeshadows in my collection. So look through your stash, you might find something useful. / Ni vam pa seveda treba steči v drogerijo po osvetljevalec, uporabite lahko tudi navadno svetleče senčilo. Sama imam kar nekaj takih senčil v svoji zbirki, tako da preglejte kaj imate v svoji, morda najdete kar uporabnega.

 1. Vanilla pigment by Mac - A fantastic highlighter. It just looks so great on the skin, I know it doesn't look that great on the picture, but in real life it's just gorgeous/ Odličen osvetljevalec, enostavno izgleda čudovito na koži. Čeprav na moji sliki izgleda bolj bogo je v živo krasen)

2. Alverde Baked eyeshadow in Elegant Beige - Mine's all broken and messed up, sorry about that. A very shimmery highlighter, be careful not to apply to much, but it's a great highlighter/eyeshadow./ Moj je ves razbit, ker so tale senčila precej krhka. Precej bleščičašt osvetljevalec/senčilo, ki ga lahko najdete v vsakem DM-u. Samo bodite previdni pri nanosu, kaj kmalu ga lahko nanesete preveč.

3. Essence eyeshadow from More Than a Fairy Tale palette (Secrets of the Past LE) - A very subtle highlighter, great for those who don't want a lot of shimmer. It just gives a bit of luminosity./ Zelo primeren osvetljevalec za tiste ki ne marate bleščič. Če imate to paletko slučajno v kakšnem predalu, preizkusite to senčilo kot osvetljevalec, da tisti sijoč videz brez da bi bil preveč bleščeč.

4. 2nd eyeshadow from top row in Sleek's Storm Palette - A very shimmery one, use a light hand when applying it.

5. Urban Decay Virgin eyeshadow from the Naked Palette - another more demure shade, but it does contain some shimmer

6. Urban Decay Sin eyeshadow - very shimmery, I use it in the inner corners of my eyes. It's better suited for darker skintone if you intend to use it as a highlighter.

And here is a video from Lisa Eldridge on how to apply liquid and cream highlighter. I highly recommend watching her videos, I learned so much from them.

In tukaj je še posnetek od Lise Eldridge kako nanesti tekoči in kremen osvetljevalec. Vam priporočam da pogledate vsaj nekaj njenih posnetkov, jaz sem se naučila ogromno iz njih.

In the last month I basically wore the same make up every day - a thin black line (with Mac's fluidline) on the top lash line, Max Factors white eyeliner in the waterline, mascara (I just bought a new one, Million lashes by L'Oreal), Tinted moisturizer by E.l.f. with some Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer, Coralista on the cheeks and Jemma Kidd's higlighter. On the lips I mostly wore NYX's Istanbul or Mac's Creme Cup.

These are undoubtedly my favourite glosses. The formula is amazing. They are creamy, really pigmented, non-sticky and long lasting.

17 Petal is the most amazingly beautiful colour ever. If I had to buy only one lipgloss until the rest of my life, this would be it. It’s the most beautiful light baby pink, but slightly beigey, it literally looks like Mac’s Hue lipstick in gloss form.
10 Tea Rose looks like a dirty pink with golden shimmer in the tube, but once applied the colour is completely different. It’s a rosey-corally colour, not really one of my favourites. I got this one for free as gift with purchase and I didn’t have the option of choosing the colour myself.

Ti glosi so absolutno moji najljubši. Tekstura je fantastična, so kremni, res pigmentirani in dobro prekrivni. Niso lepljivi in so dobro obstojni.

17 Petal je najbolj čudovita barva ever. Če bi morala kupovati le en glos do konca življenja, bi to bil ta. Je najlepša svetla baby roza barva z malo bež. Dobesedno izgleda kot Macova Hue šminka v obliki glosa.
10 Tea Rose izgleda kot umazana roza z drobnimi zlatimi bleščicami, ampak na ustnicah izgleda popolnoma drugače, kot koralno-roza, skoraj vleče na oranžno. Ni ravno ena izmed mojih najljubših barv, ampak se ga dobila zastonj kot darilo ob nakupu in nisem imela možnosti izbire barve.
