I have to say, this one of the most eye-catching collections I've seen in a while. The packaging was inspired by Pop Art and it also definitely has that Benefit/TheBalm vibe to it. I just got the collection sent with no additional information, but I hear it's already on the stands (I go to drugstore twice a month, so I'm not really up to date with things, but I send someone awesome to check for me). There are more products than just what I got - there are two shades of bronzer (Barbados Babe is lighter than Hawaii), two shades of blush (another is Let Me Be your Peach) and three shades of lipsticks (alongside Pow Wow are a medium cool pink Pop Artist and red Red my Lips). You can see the whole collection here. 

Pop it Up Gel Eyeliner & Eyeshadow

01 Black Outlines, 15 Blue Eyes Wide Open and 22 Look up to you

5.99 €

As the name says these are gel eyeliners and eyeshadows in one, and though they work as both, you need to work fast if you want to wear these as eyeshadows because they set quickly. I got all three shades in the collection: 01 Black Outlines (black), 15 Blue Eyes Wide Open (blue) and 22 Look up to you (green). All are well pigmented, very smooth, apply very nicely with no spaces and they are not too creamy that they would sheer out on the lids. It's just a pleasure to apply them, except then you have to deal with dirty brushes after -  that's the only downside to gel eyeliners for me. Staying power is impressive as well and on my normal lids they last pretty much all day with no problems including (my tiny) wings. As eyeshadows they can look a bit patchy because the texture is of course thicker than most cream eyeshadows (it's more a gel eyeliner formula than eyeshadow), so I would rather use them as eyeshadow bases. I applied them as eyeshadows just once for the purposes of pictures and they were so hard to remove that I had to use an oily cleanser and it still wasn't properly clean. As regular eyeliners I wear them quite a lot, especially black and sometimes black + blue together (so I have definition from the black and a pop of colour from the blue. In fact I'm just wearing this combo today). All have a sticky plastic cover on them, which is reusable, so it should help a lot to keep them fresh longer.

01 Black Outlines

01 Black Outlines is a classic black with the usual gel matte finish. It reminds me of Mac's Fluidline that I had a few years back. It's smooth, it applies nicely and it's all round a lovely gel formula.

15 Blue Eyes Wide Open

15 Blue Eyes Wide Open is a cobalt-royal blue, again with a matte finish. I love this one because I just feel it suits my eyes and as I said before I combine it with black for more definition. All three give me an Ancient Egypt vibe, but this one especially fits the bill. It's more patchy on the eyes when worn as eyeshadow because it's thicker than the green one, so it needs a lot of quick blending, but I would suggest applying a powder eyeshadow over it to even it out. It's very opaque as an eyeshadow due to being so thick.

22 Look Up to you

22 Look up to You is a lighter emerald green and it's the thinnest out of the three that's why it works best as an eyeshadow, but again you need to work fast. Since it's a lighter shade than black and blue, it feels like it's not as intense, but it has the same pigmentation. Since it's smoothest out of the three, flick might get a bit out of control when drawing them. 

Pop it Up Powder Blush

08 You Make me Blush

4.99 €

There are two blushes in this collection and I got 08 You Make me Blush, which is a bright, medium Barbie pink in the pan. I have nothing like it in my collection, but it actually doesn't look as intense bubble gum pink on the cheeks than you might expect and it's a more subdued shade of pink. It's a bit powdery, especially compared to the smooth feeling bronzer and pigmentation is not as good either, but it's not hard building it up and it still looks good on the cheeks. Staying power is decent, after about four hours it's still on my cheeks, but I do apply a bit more layers than I would normally to get the colour going, so I'm sure that helps a lot. The packaging is just so totally my jam - pink polka dots. You can just imagine my excitement when I opened the parcel because this is just the cutest box ever. I just might get the peach one as well to display them on my vanity. 

Pop it Up Bronzing & Contouring Powder

61 Hi From Hawaii

4.99 €

Now that is some seriously pigmented bronzer. It's smoother and more buttery that the blush, so the brush picks up a lot of colour even if you just touch it. I have to be super careful with this, wiping most on the back of my hand and slowly building up the colour. It's a yellow toned bronzer, so quite warm, but it's not orange. For my skin tone it could be a touch cooler or redder, but it does create a fairy believable tan if I use it lightly, however, it can quickly turn muddy. I've applied a lot on the picture below, just so you can see how it looks, but of course I don't wear it like that and there is a picture at the end with a smaller amount. I've tried it as a contour and I can pull it off, again applied very, very lightly otherwise it's just brown on me, so it's not as good a shade as more taupe shades. I think this would suit medium warm skin tones, but they have one other bronzer which is lighter and i' would probably be a better fit for me, hence you'd see better looks. It lasts ok on the skin, for me it's hard to tell when it's gone because bronzers are like face powders. The packaging is again adorable and I actually prefer this one to the lighter Barbados bronzer box. 

Pop it Up Lipstick 

20 Pow! Wow!

5.99 €

 There are three shades in the collection and I got probably the most summery one, since Pow! Wow! is definitely something for those who love orange-red lip colours in the style of Lady Danger. It's a thick lipstick, but with a shiny finish, which means it's a lipstick you feel on the lips, but despite being glossy, it manages to cling on a lot longer than most such formulas. The shade is an orange-red that is more orange than Lady Danger by Mac, which on me is already completely orange, but on medium skin tones, it'll probably look more red. The lipstick has a scent of vanilla pudding, so very nice and delectable. The packaging is cardboard with an orange popsicles design.

Pop it up Gel Eyeliner & Eyeshadow in 01 Black Outlines on the eyes, Pop it Up blush in You Make Me Blush on the cheeks.

A couple more full face looks:

Pop it up Gel Eyeliner & Eyeshadow in 15 Blue Eyes Wide Open on the eyes, Pop it Up blush in You Make Me Blush on the cheeks and Pop it up lipstick in 20 Pow! Wow!

Pop it up Gel Eyeliner & Eyeshadow in 20 Look up to you, Pop it Up Bronzing & Contouring powder in 61 Hi from Hawaii and Pop it up lipstick in 20 Pow! Wow!

My top choices are gel eyeliners, especially the black and blue one as they are truly top notch quality. The blush could be a bit smoother and more pigmented, but it's still fine and the packaging is gorgeous. Bronzer is nice quality, smooth and very pigmented, also not orange, but more suited for warm medium skin tones than my pale neutral one. I should check the lighter one next time I'm in Müller. The lipstick looks cute and the formula lasts well for a glossier one, but again I think it's a shade for more medium skin tones and you know I like my lipsticks matte (also it's a bit thick feeling for my taste, but I'm sure most won't be bothered). This was actually my very first time trying Misslyn and I'm pretty impressed, also the fact the collection looks so nice is a big plus for me because I'm super shallow. 

Misslyn is available in Müllers.

Nude'tude Eyeshadow palette

TheBalm has some of the best eyeshadows I ever found. There are so pigmented, soft and they blend beautifully, and I also find that they wear the nicest as well as last longest on my normal lids. Once I tried their eyeshadows, I saw the big gap between the quality of high-end vs. budget, though not all eyeshadows in the palettes are equality good (in this one Silly is pretty bad and Snobby isn't that good either). Nude'dude is the first of the two neutral palettes by theBalm and it has a very simple and classic selection of colours, which gives you a nice variety when it comes to neutral looks, though I miss a medium toned lid shade or two and a basic, skin tone shade for blending. 

Nude'Dude Eyeshadow Palette

The second instalment of the neutral palettes by theBalm, but this one is already less of a conventional neutral palette. It's for those who find most neutral palettes too boring as it has some nice coppery shades, pinks and violets, but also some standard brown neutrals. I don't necessarily think it's the most versatile palette as far as combinations go and Nude'Tude is better in that respect, but it's basically it's an expansion of the Nude'Tude with all the shades you might have missed in that one. My favourites in the palette are still Flirty and Feisty - two, I'd never expect to love.

Mary-Lou Manizer

Chances are that if you heard about one TheBalm product, it's probably this one. This is one of the most popular highlighters in the beauty community and rightly so. If you want some proper glow, look no further than this. It's a gold toned highlighter with an intense shine that is almost at the point of being too golden for me, but it's still fine, however, if you have a prominent cool skin tone, it probably won't work for you. It gives a lovely glow that is super glamorous, but I actually use it every day.

Put A Lid On It

I rarely talk about this, but it really impressed me. It doesn't necessarily intensify the eyeshadow that much, but it definitely helps them last a lot longer. It's slightly yellow tinted, but it doesn't leave any colour on the lids and it goes on very smooth, however, not completely in a"dry siliconey" way like similar such primers. It dries relatively quickly on the lids, but you can feel that you added a layer on which the products will stick better. With this primer my eyeshadows look perfect at the end of the day and I love that is comes in a squeeze tube because it's the best packaging for making sure you get to use all of the product.

Frat Body Shadow/Blush

TheBalm excels at powder products and that includes their blushes. Frat Boy has been around for a long time and its rating on forums (like Makeup Alley) is impressive - rightly so. The texture of it is unreal, it's the smoothest blush I've tried in my life, it's super pigmented and lasts pretty much all day on the cheeks. The colour is a classic matte peachy pink, even though it looks more muted in the pan, but it's peachier than for example Nars' Deep Throat and Orgasm, but less coral than Coralista, so a nice in between shade that has quite a brightening, cute effect.

Hot Mama Shadow/Blush

If you want something more coral than Frat Boy and with a proper highlight glow, Hot Mama is a good choice. On the cheeks it's a golden coral with a lovely glow, in fact it looks like you've mixed in a coral shade with MaryLou highlighter. Though it's perhaps less popular than Frat Boy, I actually like it more because it reminds me of my favourite Benefit Coralista.

Meet Matte Hughes

I adore matte liquid lipsticks and if this shade is any indication, these are best ones I've tried. The formula is creamy, super pigmented, applies evenly with no sheer patches, it smells like After Eight and dries to a velvet matte finish after about 10 minutes. It lasts so well on the lips and wears off nicely too. I have Adoring, a deep burgundy shade and it's the best such shade I ever found in a liquid lipstick formula, but I really want to expand my collection, especially with more nude shades like Charming, Sincere and Committed, plus I like the look of Dedicated as well.

Top 5 Essence Products

Have a great day!

I'm not exaggerating when I say these may be my favourite classic lipsticks ever. I kept them on my wishlist for a long time before I had a chance to try my first shade called Darling and it was love at first try. These have the best texture I've tried out of all classic lipsticks (bear in mind I'm a matte girl at heart) and I really want to own more of these, but I got Flirty first because it looked most like my type of shade. By the way, both Darling and Flirty are not a part of the original shade range, instead they've been released last year when they significantly expanded the line. 

Texture: I've reviewed the formula in my Darling review, however, they do differ a bit. It's a unique formula and something I'd describe as silicone-creamy, so it's very smooth on the lips almost like a primer with a lovely matte finish that doesn't look chalky. I tried wearing both shades side by side and Flirty is a bit more creamy and less matte. Those little differences will appeal to those who don't get along that well with matte lipsticks, but it's again a fantastic quality formula that feels comfortable on the lips. At Flirty the first layer is sheer, but second builds up the colour.

Necklace from the Happiness Boutique.

Colour: Don't be fooled by the vampy looking colour in the tube. It actually looks considerably lighter on the lips. It's a deeper pink-purple shade, but one that's more red than leaning to blue. I had hoped it's be a dupe for Mac's D for Danger, but it's more purple. It's more of an autumn/winter shade, or one that's better for night-time makeup.

Staying power: Staying power is nice since it's a darker shade, but it's a creamier texture, so it doesn't last as well as their Amore Matte Lip Cream. It leaves a stain, but on me it wasn't even because the colour stuck only on dead skin.

Packaging: One of the fanciest in the drugstore for sure. It's a gold imitation, so super shiny, but plastic. I love that they have the coloured bottom part, so you know which shade it is.

Scent: It has a vanilla scent that's similar to Mac's lipsticks.

Price and availability: I got mine on Beauty Joint, for 5.99 $. Slovenes can get it on Click2Chic for about the same price, but it's often out of stock, so be quick when you see it. 

I want Love next, but of course, I dream of having a big selection of these.

AFRODITA Secret Garden Cream Shower Gel

Romantic Peony

I've never bought an Afrodita shower product before because I don't like any of their scents, but this one appealed to me. It's a nice creamy shower gel-cream that foams ok and doesn't feel too thin, however, it's not like Dove's shower gels and I notice I have dry skin after use like at most regular gels. It smells lovely, not classically floral, but already almost fruity, I swear I smell pear. I smelled all the scent from this Secret Garden Collection in the shop and liked three out of four, only rose really isn't my scent (I hate classic rose scents). The sweets line is a total miss for me though in terms of scents and I usually adore candy scents. I've already used almost an entire bottle and it's the most used shower gel in the bathroom.

SUBRINA Shower Gel

Cuba Libre 

I hear Subrina shower gels aren't that popular, at least among bloggers I know. I kinda get why, but if you're not fussy about shower gel (I like Balea's for example and there aren't many who truly love them), these are just fine. It's a basic, clear shower gel that more on the thin side and it's a bit light on the foam for my taste, but perfectly fine. It doesn't nourish the skin at all, so moisturiser is needed afterwards if you have problems with dryness. I picked this one because it smells exactly like Haribo Coca-Cola gummy sweets, so it's something for those with a sweet tooth, personally it's right up my alley. I smelled all of the showers gels from Subrina and really loved all of them apart from the oriental one, so for my taste they have a better selection of scents than Afrodita. They're basic, like Balea's or Dusch Das, but smell really nice and that's the most important thing to me when it comes to shower gels.

*SUBRINA Shower Gel

Tropical Escape 

This is actually the newest addition to the Subrina shower gel line and I'm not sure if it's even sold already in all the shops. I had write about this one separately even though it's in the same line as the previous one, but the formulas as quite different. This one is creamy, already more substantial that Cuba Libre and it foams ok. It smells similar to Escada's Taj Sunset fragrance, meaning it's not a classic very fresh tropical scent, instead it's a deeper mango scent that's very sweet, but I also smell some bananas and pineapple.

DVOREC TREBNIK Tropical Cocktail shower gel

Apparently I can't walk past a tropical shower gel, though actually if I were picking again, I'd pick the shea butter one. This has a fresh fruity tropical scent, they say it's mango and I think it's a mix of fruits. What I'm not impressed by is the formula. It's very thin and liquidy, so it doesn't foam all that well and looking at ingredients, they aren't that different from both Afrodita's and Subrina's version, so why such a difference, I don't know. I'd make it thicker, then I'd like it. Like all the previously mentioned shower gels I notice those dry little flakies on my skin after shower, so lotions are recommended after use.

AFRODITA 100% Spa Sugar Scrub

I heard many very positive reviews about this, so I was excited to try it, since there aren't many good drugstore scrubs around here. I've tried a lot of scrubs in my life and I like very harsh ones, so my favourites are L'Occitane's Honey and Soap & Glory scrubs (which are awesome!), I have to say this Afrodita's one kind of failed to impress me. You know what this is? It's a homemade sugar scrub. It feels exactly the same as the ones I make at home, it even smells about the same. It's sugar, lots of sunflower oil, shea butter and some vanilla fragrance. It's very, very greasy, something that unfortunately put me off. I make it a lot less oily for a reason, but I assume they had to use that much oil to prevent it from clumping (mine always clumps after a week). It's very harsh, that part I like a lot, but as I said its regular sugar, however, the oiliness it excessive and you end up greasy as a pig in the oven, it's basically necessary to use a regular soap after because shower gels just don't cut it. It smells vanillary not in a cookie way, but in a typical scented way. It's not bad, but I wish it was more like Soap & Glory's.

DVOREC TREBNIK Shea Butter Cream

Looove this! I did not expect to like this product as much as I do and that's why I only took the 50 ml travel size. It smells exactly like The Body Shops' Shea Butter body butter, a scent I adore. It's nothing special - clean, a bit nutty and creamy, but I love it. The texture is as the name says a cream, not a thick butter, so it's not as greasy and it doesn't take that long to sink in, but it's nourishing enough for moderately dry skin, though sometimes I feel I need more. I think I'll buy a full size one day, but mostly because of the scent.

SUBRINA RECEPT Anti-dandruff lotion

Whilst perusing the isles of Műller, I had the worst itch on my scalp, it hasn't been so bad in a while, so I was ready to buy anything that promises to work fast. I saw this had a discount and I just grabbed it. First use was a bit of a disaster because this is a liquid, like water and despite the great nozzle, this still runs everywhere if you're not careful, including in my eye (it has alcohol on the second place, so that was really fun), but it worked. The annoying itch was gone. The effect are very similar to Alpencin Forte that I've loved for years, but it's easier to find and a lot cheaper. Also it doesn't smells as intensively of schnapps, but it's not a pleasant scent either. I think I found my new scalp saviour. By the way, it doesn't help reducing the amount of dandruff, it just calms down the scalp.

*SUBRINA Clean & Fresh Dry Shampoo

I think this is the first Slovene dry shampoo and I've already seen it in Müller. I think it's rather good, but you know I don't have oily hair, so I can only say how well it refreshes the hair. It's white, I expected that, so if you have very dark hair like me, you will need to comb the hair well after use. It's got a lovely fresh, clean linens scent that's mixed with almost a perfumey floral scent and it's gentle, inoffensive and pleasant, so not like Balea's which made me basically choke. It leaves the hair very light, so there isn't much of the touchable residue despite the whiteness and unlike at for example Batiste, I don't feel like I need to wash my hair the next day, but it's just keeps the hair fresh and airy. It gives a bit of volume, though not as much as some other (mostly because it's lighter that those) and also not much texture. For blondes and other with light hair, it's really nice.

 AFRODITA Serum 10 in 1 Protection

When I was buying this, I missed the silicone on the third place, so I was under the impression, this is a mix of proper oils that I could use when my hair is really dry and as a pre-wash treatment. Well according to ingredients it's a regular silicone-oil, but with a smaller silicone content than most, since sunflower oil is on the second place. I've tried a lot of such products in my life and all work about the same, so I was convinced I'll never find a bad one. Well, I found one. Yes, this will be a classic Mateja's bitchy hair review, but the main problem of this oil is that it's trying to be something between a proper oil and a silicone oil, and it just doesn't work. It's got three layers with different densities and then you need to shake it well, so it mixes into one misty, yellow fluid. It's very, very light and the packaging is just wrong for such a formula, it should be a spray because now it just spritzes out with such force, plus it doesn't stay on the hand no matter how you try and you lose product. On the plus side, since it's so light, it mostly likely won't make any hair greasy. They say you should use it on damp hair, which I agree because on dry hair, it just sucks as it does absolutely nothing. On damp hair if I use a hair dryer after, my hair is a bit sleeker and more manageable, but other products do it better. They went in the same direction as a lot of companies, bragging about a million effects, which is plainly said very annoying, but among other it's also a heat protectant and that's one of the rare pluses I'd give to this product. It has this strange scent that like it's an oriental perfume, but mixed with a scent of rancid oil. 

I noticed a lot of Slovene bloggers got this oil at an event and there were no reviews after, so I should probably have taken this as a sign, but I was curious. Does anyone love this?

DVOREC TREBNIK Hand Soap Sweet Peach

I think it's clear why I got this - I honestly can't walk by anything with peach. But this is a massive disappointment because it's the most basic of basic soaps and one that's über retro feeling. Seriously, I get flashes of my grandmas bathroom back in 95. It doesn't smell anything like peach, just an old-ish clean herbal scent. I dislike that it's a square design because it's annoying to use and it's like any other cheap soap that  leaves that drying, squeaky clean feeling, though I don't mind that as much. If you like retro things, this might be for you.

AFRODITA Hand Cream Olive 2 in 1

I'm super fussy about hand creams and I rarely use them because I dislike most (I like Nuxe's, Weleda's and love those Balea's Pflegecremes). This is another one I dislike. I picked this one because it says it has an antibacterial effect, those they say the effect is mild and I don't recognise any of the ingredients as being antibacterial (I'm not that good at reading them). It's a light lotion, but it just takes way to long for me to absorb, a few minutes, and I'm a person who can't stay still for long. Once it's absorbed, I just feel that it's not enough, like it didn't really nourish my hands. The scent is ok, but not my favourite. It's a musty lemony scent. I'll give this one to someone else.

AFRODITA Secret Garden kremni gel za prhanje

Romantic Peony

Do zdaj sploh še nisem kupila Afroditinega tuš gela. Šla sem jih nekajkrat preverit, pa mi ni bil noben vonj pretirano všeč, vključno s tisto lansko cukrasto linijo (pa imam ponavadi zelo rada take vonje), ampak tale potonikin me je pa prepričal. Ima dobro kremno formulo in se v redu peni, je celo malo gostejši kot običajni geli, ampak ni tako dober kot od Dove in opažam, da imam po tuširanju suho kožo. Diši res lepo, ne kot prava potonika, ampak lepše, bolj sveže in celo malo sadno. Meni diši malo po hruški. Preverila sem vse štiri tuš gele iz te Secret Garden kolekcije in so mi bili všeč trije od štirih, edino vrtnica ni niti malo zame. V kopalnici se že valja skoraj prazna embalaža, tako da je kar priljubljen.

SUBRINA gel za prhanje

Cuba Libre 

Kolikor berem bloge in komentarje Subrina tuš geli niso ravno popularni, ampak če niste tako zahtevni kar se tiče tuš gelov (npr. meni so od Balee krasni, pa večini niso všeč), so čisto dobri. Tale ima bolj lahko, prozorno formulo in čisto spodobno peni, sem pa opazila, da niso vse formule enake. Res je, da nič ne neguje kožo, verjetno je ravno to problem tistim, ki jih ne marajo, ampak sama pač potem uporabim kremo, če jo rabim. Tega sem izbrala, ker diši enako kot Haribo Coca-Cola gumijasti bonboni, torej je nekaj za vse tiste, ki obožujemo sladkarije, ampak moram reči, da sem preverila vse vonje njihovih tuš gelov in so mi bili vsi všeč, razen Oriental. Je osnoven tuš gel, kot npr. Baleiini in Dusch Das, ampak imajo dober izbor vonjev, kar je meni pri katerem koli tuš gelu še najbolj pomembno.

Tropical Escape 

To je najnovejši vonj od Subrine in sploh ne vem, če je že v vseh trgovinah, moral bi že biti, ampak sem ga morala, dati narazen od Cuba Libre, ker se mi zdi precej drugačen od tistega. Je že bolj gost in se dobro peni, tako da je precej boljši, pravzaprav isti kot od Afrodite. Meni diši podobno kot Escada Taj Sunset, torej ne tipičen svež tropski vonj, ampak je bolj sladek mango, voham pa tudi še malo  banane in ananasa.

DVOREC TREBNIK Tropical Cocktail poživljajoči gel za tuširanje

Očitno ne morem mimo tropskih vonjev, čeprav če bi še enkrat izbirala bi se zdaj odločila za karitejevo maslo. Tropical Coctail ima nepresenetljivo svež, tropski vonj, DT pravi po mangu, meni se zdi bolj mešanica različnega sadja. Formula me ni navdušila, ker je enostavno preredek in se skoraj nič ne peni. Sestavinsko je čisto podoben Afroditinemu in Subrininem tako, ampak so teksture čisto drugačne. Če bi bil bolj gost, bi mi bil všeč in upam, da je tistih karitejevim maslom boljši. Tudi pri tem opazim suhe luskice po tuširanju, kot pri vseh ostalih.

AFRODITA 100% Spa sladkorni piling

O tem pilingu so na nekaterih blogih praktično slavospevi in sem si ga res želela preizkusit, ker pri nas ni veliko dobrih pilingov za telo. Preizkusila sem že kar nekaj pilingov, trenutno imam še štiri druge v kopalnici in ta mi je žal najmanj všeč. Sicer imam rada zelo grobe pilinge, kar ta to je (moji najljubši so L'Occitanov z medom in Soap & Glory, ki so fantastični), ampak je pretirano masten. Je navaden sladkorni piling, čisto podoben tem, ki jih naredim doma, vsebuje pa sladkor, sončnično olje, karitejevo maslo in vanilijev ekstrakt kot najpomembnejše sestavine. Je izjemno masten in ko ga odpreš je kar kakšen centimeter olja nad sladkorjem, zaradi katerega je potem embalaža čisto mastna. Ko sama delam piling dam precej manj olja, ampak razumem zakaj ga je pri tem več, ker se ti drugače sladkor skupčka in je skoraj neuporaben. Všeč mi je, da je grob, ampak na koži ostane tak gost oljni sloj, ki ga je zelo težko odstranit če ne vzameš navadnega mila, ampak če ga pustiš si pa čisto preveč masten. Diši po vaniliji, ampak ne kot piškoti, bolj kot tipičen vanilijast kozmetični vonj. Ni slab, ampak si želim, da bi bil bolj kot Soap & Glory-evi.

DVOREC TREBNIK bogata karitejeva krema

Ok, tale mi je pa res všeč. Nisem pričakovala veliko, zato sem vzela samo 50 ml lonček, ampak mi je že žal, da nisem vzela večjega. Diši enako kot The Body Shop-ov Shea Butter maslo, vonj ki ga obožujem, čeprav ni čisto nič posebnega - čist, malo oreškast in kremen, ampak meni je tako dober. Ko ime pove je krema, ne maslo, tako da ni zelo gosta in se kar hitro vpije. Je dovolj za zmerno suho kožo, čeprav se mi včasih zdi, da bi rabila malo več.

SUBRINA RECEPT losjon proti prhljaju

Ko sem bila v Müllerju sem imela grozno srbečico na lasišču, res tako slabo ni bilo že nekaj časa, tako da sem bila pripravljena vzeti karkoli kar obljublja, da deluje hitro (torej ne šampon, ampak losjon) in tale je bil ravno v akciji. Ko sem ga uporabila prvič mi je tipično nerodno zame ponesreči steklo še malo v oko, ker je stvar zelo tekoča in ker ima alkohol na drugem mestu, si lahko predstavljate kako veselo je bilo. Ampak stvar je delovala in srbečica se je umirila. Deluje nekako kot Alpencin Medicinal Forte, ki je moj rešitelj že leta, ampak tega je lažje najti in še cenejši je (če iščete Alpencin ga v Müllerju že dolgo nisem videla, je pa na Salmi). Ta tudi ne diši čisto po žganju, čeprav tudi ni najlepši vonj. Mislim, da sem našla nov spodoben izdelek za srbečico, ampak kar se tiče delovanja na prhljaj, pa žal ne naredi dosti.

*SUBRINA Clean & Fresh suh šampon

Mislim, da je to prvi slovenski suh šampon in sem ga že videla v Müllerju. Meni je čisto dober, ampak kot morda veste imam zelo suhe lase, ki niso nikoli mastni, tako da ne vem kako dobro vpije maščobo. Suhe šampone imam jaz pač samo za osvežitev, parfum ter volumen in ta naredi vse tri stvari čisto ok. Je pa bel, tako da če imaš temne lase kot jaz, ga je treba potem dobro izčesat. Diši res zelo prijetno, kot čisto perilo, ampak že dosti vleče na lep cvetličen parfum, vonj pa je nevsiljiv, za razliko od Baleinega, ki me je skoraj zadušil. Lase naredi zelo lahke in nima veliko praškastega občutka zaradi katerega si moraš takoj drugi dan oprati lase, pravzaprav po nanosu si še dolgo nisem rabila oprati las (še enkrat - imam suhe. Je čisto drugače kot če se ti lasje mastijo). Da tudi malo volumna, ampak ne toliko kot tisti z več tega praškastega občutka, ker je veliko lažji. Blondinkam in tistim s svetlimi lasmi bo všeč, temnolaske pa sem vas opozorila, da je bel, se ga pa da enostavno izčesat.

AFRODITA Serum 10 in 1 Protection

Ne vem kako sem zgrešila silikon na tretjem mestu med sestavinami, ampak sem bila sigurna, da je stvar samo mešanica navadnih olj in ga bom lahko uporabljala takrat ko bodo moje konice zelo suhe in kot intenzivni tretma pred pranjem. Ko sem doma dobro pogledala sestavine sem videla, da je klasičen silikon z oljem, čeprav je tukaj sončnično olje drugo na seznamu. Poskusila sem že kar nekaj takih izdelkov in vsi delujejo enako, tako da sem bila prepričana, da ne bom našla slabega - no, pa sem enega. Ja, to bo zdaj tista tipična moja super tečna ocena (ah, kot da ni splošno znano, da sem zelo zahtevna pri izdelkih za lase), ampak glavni problem tega izdelka je, da hoče biti nekaj vmes. Ni pravo olje, ni silikon in to enostavno ne deluje, čeprav sestavinsko izgleda zelo dober. Vizualno je zanimiv s temi sloji različne gostote, ki se potem zmešajo v motno, rumeno tekočino. Je zelo, zelo lahka formula in ta embalaža ni najboljša zanjo, ker ti špricne s preveliko hitrostjo, poleg tega ti pa olje kar zbeži z roke. Bolje bi bilo, če bi bil v spreju. Ker je tako lahko predvidevam, da bi bilo v redu morda tudi za lase, ki se hitro zmastijo oz. take ki jih večina stvari obteži. Priporočajo, da ga uporabiš na vlažnih laseh, kar se strinjam, ker na suhih ne naredi absolutno nič. Če ga nanesem na mokre lase pred sušenjem, naredi lase malo bolj gladke in ubogljive, ampak  drugi izdelki so bolj učinkoviti. Spet bom tečna, ampak moti me to pretiravanje z 10 učinki, ker večina stvari zveni kot seznam, ki ga je napisal Captain Obvious, ampak med naštetimi je tudi, da je toplotna zaščita, kar je eden izmed redkih plusov, ki jih dajem. Ima nek čuden vonj, ki je kot mešanica orientalskega parfuma in žaltavega olja.

Vem, da je veliko slovenskih blogerk dobilo to olje na nekem blogerskem dogodku, ampak potem nisem slišala nič o njen, kar bi si morala vzeti kot nek znak, ampak me je res mikalo ga preizkusit. A je komu všeč?

DVOREC TREBNIK Milo Breskev

Mislim, da je dovolj očitno zakaj sem vzela to milo - resno ne morem mimo česarkoli z breskvijo. Ampak tole me je pa razočaralo, ker niti malo ne diši po breskvi, ampak ima nek starinski čist, zeliščen vonj. Je čisto običajno milo z zelo retro izgledom in obliko, ki je nerodna za uporabo dokler je ne porabiš nekaj in pusti tisti tipičen, suh občutek na koži.

AFRODITA Krema za roke Oliva 2 v 1

Kar se tiče krem za roke sem skoraj toliko zahtevna kot pri stvareh za lase in mi večina ni všeč (všeč so mi od Nuxe, Weleda in tisti mini kovinske od Balee). Tudi ta mi ni všeč. Vzela sem jo ker me je pritegnil ta antibakterijski učinek, čeprav piše, da je blag in med sestavinami ne prepoznam nič antibakterijskega (vseh sestavin pa tudi ne morem poznat na pamet). Je lahka, ampak meni traja predolgo, da se vpije, nekje okrog 3 minute, ampak jaz pač ne morem biti toliko časa na miru. Ko se vpije imam občutek kot, da ni dovolj in da ni dovolj intenzivno nahranila roke. Vonj je ok, ampak ni moj najljubši. Nekako diši kot malo hecna limona. Dala jo bom komu drugemu.
