Živjo punce
ter predvsem tiste s slabšim vidom, ki uporabljate leče ali pa še tudi ne.

V svojem arhivu objav sem opazila, da sem imela pripravljeno to objavo že s fotografijami ampak sem tako dolgo čakala, da lahko po več mesecih testiranja končno zapišem svoje mnenje.

Pred nekje letom dni sem prvič opazila kontaktne leče v drogeriji DM in ker je nekaj uporabnic imelo kar dobre izkušnje že po prvi uporabi, sem se odločila, da jih tudi jaz preizkusim. Namreč leče znajo biti zelo drage: za škatlico treh 2-tedenskih parov leč sem v optiki odštela tudi do 27€. DM pa ponuja dnevne ali mesečne (mehke) leče po res ugodnih cenah. Vsako lečo kupiš posebej, kar je priročno za tiste, ki imajo različno dioptrijo na očesih. Sama imam dioptrijo -2,50 (dioptrije DM leč si lahko ogledaš tukaj). Upam, da Vam bo objava v pomoč.

Hi girls !
This is quite a long overdue post. I've had it for months in my archive but was waiting for throughout test to be completed. It is about a brand of contact lenses and solution which can be bought in Europian drugstores called: Drogeriemarkt. 
I wanted to share my opinion with you because these are very affordable but good contact lenses. And I was spending up to 27€ per 3 pair of 2 week worth of contact which added up yearly to a great amount of money. That's why I tried these. If you wonder, my eye prescription is: -2,50.

In potem se je začelo testiranje. Sprva so me leče malce motile, ker sem bila že nekaj let navajena na Acuvue Oasys. Slednje so morda malce tanjše, zato lahko pride do razlike v občutku na očesu. Kot vse druge leče, ko se jih navadiš jih v očesu ne čutiš. Včasih lahko pride do neprijetnosti v očesu, če jih ne očistiš dobro ter se na njih naberejo kakšni delci prahu. Zato vedno sledim temu, da ko lečo vstavim v oko, se prepričam ali me kaj drgne. Če me moti in jo čutim na očesu, jo dam ven in še enkrat operem z raztopino za čiščenje leč.

Visiomax leče lahko nosim ves dan, tudi do 14 ur brez, da bi me kaj motilo, vendar je to odvisno od dneva. Včasih sem zelo utrujena in mi res ne paše, da imam tako dolgo leče v očesih. Po dolgem dnevu pa postanejo oči bolj suhe ter pogosto v takih primerih uporabim kapljice za oči. Sicer DM-jevih še nisem preizkusila.

Vsakič, ko odprem nove leče pa si zapišem datum, da lahko bolje sledim roku uporabe. Sicer ga tu in tam kdaj prekoračim zato, ker jih ne nosim vsak dan, vendar se v večini držim roka enomesečne uporabe. Imele pa naj bi tudi UV zaščito.

Leče so torej prijetne za nošenje, se občutijo kvalitetno in so cenovno zelo dostopne. Če pa leč ne uporabljate tako pogosto, lahko tudi preizkusite dnevne.

Cena posamezne leče: 3,49€

I was used to Acuvue Oasys contact lenses so I needed some getting used to monthly contacts which could be a bit thicker. I barely feel Visiomax contact lenses in my eyes so they're very gentle. Plus there is no discomfort unless you don't clean the lenses enough. Sometimes there can be some dust on a contact lense which can irritate your eye, so I always make sure to clean them and if I feel anything wrong in my eye, I clean it again.

That way I can wear contacts even for 14 hours without any irritation. However it sometimes depends on the day. Sometimes I'm really tired and I'd just like to take them out. In that case my eyes are probably quite dry and in need of some eye drops which I apply most of the time. However this happened to me with previous contacts as well. 

To make sure I use them for prescribed one month, I write on the paper a date when I opened them. And sometimes I wear them for few days more just because I don't wear them every they. Also have to mention that these have a UV protection.

All in all these are very nice to wear, feel well made and very affordable. And if you rarely use contact lenses, you can try daily ones.

Price: around 3,49€

DM ponuja tudi različne tekočine za leče za različne vrste leč: kombinirana raztopina (katero trenutno uporabljam sama), fiziološka raztopina, kombinirana raztopina z hialuronom, raztopina z vodikovim peroksidom, kombinirana raztopina SUPER (s posodico) in raztopina v ampulah. 

Kombinirana raztopina SUPER (na fotografijah) ima priloženo posodico za shrambo ter je namenjena mehkim kontaktnim lečam, hkrati pa odstranjuje proteine. Med tekočinami sama sicer ne opazim razlike. Uporabljala sem SUPER ter kombinirano raztopino ter sta obe dobro očistili leče. Cene pa se gibljejo nekje med 4 in 8 euri. Na voljo imajo tudi kapljice za oči, poseben čistilec leč in še več.

As far as Contact Solution goes, I've tried two so far. They have many different ones:  combi solution, combi solution with salt, combi solution with hyaluron, combi solution SUPER, peroxide solution...

I've tried SUPER and combi solution and haven't seen any difference. They clean the contacts well and are quite cheap (4-8€).

Snow Fairy shower gel

If you aren't familiar with this cotton candy scent from Lush, you're missing it ! It's a limited edition from Christmas range and I have to have at least one every year. I'm not a sweet scents kind of person but this one is different. The sweet, bubblegum scent is quite strong and you only need a small amount to lather up well. On cold winter days it definitely cheers me up a bit and leaves me smelling yummy for hours ! Also mentioned here.

Repurchase: yes

Če še ne poznaš Lushevega Snow Fairy vonja, ne veš kaj zamujaš. Ta limitiran, božičen tuš gel je opojno sladek saj diši po sladkorni peni in sladkih čigumijih. Sicer običajno ne maram sladkih vonjev ampak je ta res poseben. Za lepo gosto peno je potrebna majhna količina, vonj pa me ob zimskih dneh spravi v boljšo voljo. Prav tako moja koža kasneje diši še več ur. Na blogu tudi tukaj.

This is a in-shower body lotion. Packed full of nourishing ingredients, such as: argan oil, shea butter, cupuacu butter etc., it feels nicely moisturizing on the skin. The scent of rose absolute is amazing but not too rosey due to vanilly infusion, since I'm not a fan of real rose scents. It nicely moisturizes the skin and leaves a nice scent behind which lasts for a few hours. However, because my skin on the legs is very dry, this conditioner is not moisturizing enought for that area. 

Repurchase: maybe

Tole je regenerator oziroma losjon, ki se uporablja pod tušem - tako na hitro. Poln je hranljivih sestavin, kot so: arganovo olje, karitejevo maslo, cupuacu maslo in podobno. Tako pusti hranilen občutek, brez da bi bil preveč masten. Odišavljen je z vrtnicami, vendar je dodane še malce vanilije. In kljub temu, da mi običajno vrtnični vonji niso tako všeč, mi je ta res prijeten. Na koži pa vonj ostane še kar nekaj časa. Na predelih kjer je koža res zelo suha, ne deluje tako vlažilno.

Dream Cream Self-Preserving body lotion

My all time favorite body lotion ! Eventhough it doesn't smell the best due to camomile and lavender, I just love how moisturizing it is. My legs can get so dry that the skin looks flakey - I'd call it snake skin unfortunately. This is the best thing for my skin and I can't say enough good things about it. Also if your skin is sensitive or itchy, it can be a good saviour. Though I still prefer the original version because to me it seems a bit less thick and oily. (Review of original version: here)

Repurchase: definitely !

Dream Cream je že kar nekaj časa moj najljubši losjon. Mojo ekstremno suho kožo zelo dobro navlaži, kamilica ter sivka pa jo pomirita. Čeprav vonj ni najboljši (je bolj naraven), mi je to vseeno, ker ga nič ne prekosi. Originalna različica pa mi je še vedno malce bolj všeč od te samokonzervirajoče. Nekako je ta malce bolj gost in masten. Starejša ocena: tukaj.

Eau Roma Water toner

I never thought I would be a fan of a toner infused with rose, but I am. Combined with lavender, the scent it not artificial and overpowering, which is up my alley.  It is definitely the only toner with rose which smells gently enough for my "taste". Other than that, it is calming and gives a refreshing feeling to the skin.

Repurchase: yes

Nisem ljubiteljica vonjev po vrtnicah ali sivki, ampak je ta tonik nekako poseben. V bistvu je edina vrtnična vodica, ki mi je všeč. Vonj ni pretirano močen in umeten, temveč pomirjajoč. Sestavine pa kožo pomirijo in jo malce navlažijo.

Ponoven nakup: ja

Tea Tree Water toner

This is one of my favorite toners. Tea tree water as an ingredient seems to work very well with my skin. It stops me from breaking out and dries up the pimples. I can really see the difference. I always miss it when I'm not using it. Old review here.

Repurchase: definitely !

Moj najljubši tonik. Zakaj? Ker moja koža obožuje čajevec, ki deluje antibakterijsko in mi pomaga pri odstranjevanju mozoljčkov. Sama kar hitro opazim rezultate, prav tako pa je prijetno osvežilen tonik. (Zelo staro oceno najdete: tukaj).
Ponoven nakup: seveda

Cupcake face mask

This has to be one of my favorite face masks. Containing Morrocan mud, it absorbs all the oils of the skin while leaving it really soft. It just smells like chocolate and the scent lingers on my skin for an hour. It still feels refreshing due to mint and it's just really nice when you want your skin to feel really clean. Review here.

Repurchase: definitely !

Ena izmed mojih najljubših mask za obraz. In še sveža je ! Ker vsebuje maroško blato, posrka s kože vsa olja in nečistoče, kakavovo maslo pa kožo pusti lepo mehko. Dodaten plus je, da koža diši po čokoladi še kakšno uro kasneje. Uporabljam jo, ko želim občutek res čiste kože. Omemba tukaj.

Love Lettuce face mask

This balancing mask contains almond oil to moisturize while lavender balances the oils and ground almond shells give you a nice scrub. It's a great face mask for oily skin types, however not good for sensitive skin since the scrub can be a bit harsh. I've talked about it here.

"Repurchase": probably

Love Lettuce maska je namenjena balansiranju kože. Tako vsebuje mandljevo olje za navlažitev ter sivko za balansiranje kože. Mleti mandlji pa opravijo piling, ki morda ni primeren za občutljivo kožo. Ker vsebuje veliko olja, na mastni koži preprečuje, da bi le ta proizvajala še več sebuma. Hkrati pa dobro očisti kožo. Omenila sem jo tukaj.

"Ponoven nakup": verjetno

BB Seaweed face mask

On the oposite site, this face mask is more on the clay side and dries up quickly. Doesn't contain any particles as a scrub. Aloe vera and seaweed calm down the skin. It's great for any redness or sunburns. Mentioned here.

"Repurchase": maybe in the summer

V primerjavi z Love Lettuce, pa je BB Seaweed klasična glinena maska, ki se hitro posuši na koži, vendar ne vsebuje delcev za piling. Ker vsebuje veliko aloe vere ter morskih alg, dobro pomiri kožo. Zmanjša rdečico ter je predvsem pomirjajoča za kakšne sončne opekline. Omemba tukaj.

"Ponoven nakup": mogoče poleti

Salted Coconut hand scrub

This coconut scrub is great for rough, dry hands. It scrubs and softens while preparing them for a hand cream. It does work nicely on the hands, however the effect anywhere else on the skin dissapears.

Repurchase: maybe

Pilingi za roke so bolj redkost, pa vendar znajo biti zanimivi. Tale zelo prijetno diši po kokosu ter soli. Roke lepo zmehča, odstrani odmrle celice ter jih pripravi na kremo. Na rokah ima sicer dober učinek, na telesu pa ni nič kaj posebnega.

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

D'Fluff Strawberry shaving soap

This is one tricky to use shaving soap. The consistency is like soap but softer, so you can easily scoop out. It take some time to work with it. I put it in the middle of my palm and then rub into wet skin, so that it foams up into a creamy consistency. It's not easy to use, that's why most people don't buy it. The smells is pleasant but could be more strawberry-like.

Repurchase: no

To milo za britje morda ni tako priljubljeno. Ima teksturo zmehčanega mila, zato ga lahko ven spraviš kar z roko. Pa vendar ga je težje uporabljat. Sama dam kos v dlan ter z njim podrgnem po mokri koži dokler se ne začne malce penit ter se spremeni v kremasto teksturo, podobno navadnemu milu. Na žalost ga je težje uporabljat. Vonj pa je prijeten, vendar bi lahko malce bolj dišal po jagodah.

Ponoven nakup: ne

Honey Trap Lip Balm

One of the best, moisturizing lip balms. Containing butters it really hydrates the lips. And this one has a vanilla sweet scent with a bit of mint to give a cooling effect. Though I dislike this kind of packaging because it's so unsanitary.

Repurchase: maybe

Tole je ena izmed najbolj vlažilnih balzamov za ustnice. Ker vsebuje prava masla, ustnice res dobro navlaži ter ustvari nekakšen hranilen sloj. Vonj je zelo njami: vanilija ter malo meti, ki deluje hladilno. Edino embalaža je malce nehigienska, saj moreš za vsak nanos uporabit prst.

Ponoven nakup: mogoče

Daddy-o hair shampoo

Because the packaging is empty you obviously can't see what color the shampoo was: bright purple, to combat any yelowness on colored blonde hair. However on my hair it left a shiny effect due to lemon juice. Sadly, the coconut oil seemed to get my hair greasy quicker.

Repurchase: no

Ta šampon je v bistvu živo vijolične barve, s čimer pomaga pri nevtraliziranju rumenkastih tonov na barvanih blond laseh. Seveda sama nimam barvanih las ter nisem opazila razlike pri barvi, temveč je limonin sok, katerega tudi vsebuje šampon, pustil na laseh sijoč videz. Na žalost pa je kokosovo olje hitreje zmastilo lase.

Ponoven nakup: ne

Jumping Juniper hair shampoo

On the picture you can see a tiny amount of what's left of this lavender/lemon shampoo. Designed for greasy hair, it really cleanses while leaving the hair soft. It's very easy to use as it lathers up nicely and I have no complaint about it. Though when I wanted a bit less of a cleansing effect and more softness, I used I love juicy. I definitely see the difference between drugstore shampoo's and Lush ones. This bar lasts for ages so it's worth the money. You can find a review here.

Repurchase: yes

Morem priznat, da sem to ploščico za umivanje las imela res dolgo. Vmes sem poskušala porabit še kaj drugega, tale pa se ni pokvaril ter je res dolgo zdržal. Je popoln za moj tip las: mastno lasišče ter suhe konice. Vsebuje pa sivko za balansiranje ter čistilno limono, ki lasem doda nekaj sijaja. Ta ploščica se zelo enostavno uporablja ter dobro speni, med tem ko zelo dobro očisti lase. Hkrati pa ne izsuši las, vendar bi za še več mehkobe priporočala tekoči šampon I love juicy. Morem še omenit, da definitivno vidim razliko v občutku na laseh, ko uporabljam navadne drogerijske šampone v primerjavi z Lushevimi - katerih več ne zamenjam. Trd šampon pa je definitivno vreden cene saj zdrži zelo dolgo. Več pa v oceni: tukaj.

Spomnim se še časov, ko so se mi v osnovni šoli začeli pojavljati prvi mozoljčki in takoj sem posegla po korektorju v stiku. Takrat še ni bilo tako velike izbire, tekoči korektorji pa so se uporabljali redkeje. Ti kremni stiki so običajno bili preveč kremasti in so se kar hitro razmazali ter se niso lepo zabrisali. Seveda se z leti vse spreminja in tako me je presenetil novi Bourjois korektor z odlično teksturo. Ta je sprva kremasta vendar se ob nanosu spremeni v bolj pudrast finiš, pri čemer izgleda naravno ter se enostavno zabriše. Uporabljam ga tako pod očmi kot na vseh nepravilnostih. Odtenek 01 pa se lepo zlije z mojo poltjo. Kljub temu, da je končen videz naraven oz. žameten, pa kože ne izsuši ter se ne vseda v moje smejalne gubice pod očmi.

Sama ga nanesem kar neposredno iz embalaže ter zabrišem z navlaženo majhno gobico.

Na voljo so 3 odtenki: 01 Ivory, 02 Beige, 03 Golden Beige

Priporočena MPC: 8,16 €

This product reminds me of Primary school and my first pimples in puberty. Back then there weren't many concealers on the market, plus the liquid ones were rarely used. So I had one of those stick concealers to cover imperfections, however it was too creamy.
Of course over the years makeup has improved which is shown in this Bourjois concealer as it has a great texture. First of it is creamy and easy to use however it blends into more of a powdery, velvet finish and I can definitely sense the silicon base. I can use it under my eyes and on any imperfections. Coverage may not be the highest but it looks natural and covers what I want. The shade 01 is perfect for my porcelain skin. Doesn't feel drying and it doesn't settle into my smile lines.
I can use it with a wet blending sponge.

Živjo punce.

Danes Vam bom predstavila 2 cenovno ugodni toaletni vodici. Tokrat pa se mi je k testiranju pridružil tudi fant saj imava zdaj "ujemajoči" dišavi. Zakaj narekovaji? Ker se precej razlikujeta in na prvi vonj ne bi rekla, da sta iz enake kolekcije. Pa vendar sta steklenički podobni in luštni za na poličko.

P.s. na koncu sledi tudi nagradna igra v kateri lahko osvojiš žensko dišavo.

FOR HER

S.Oliver for her krasi močen, cvetličen vonj. Ker nisem ljubiteljica cvetličnih vonjev, mi je najbolj všeč, ko se razdiši saj nato dobi prijeten pudrast, mošusen vonj, ki ni preveč opojen. Izgled embalaže zelo spominja na Chloe parfum. Čeprav gre za toaletno vodo, pa je obstojnost precej dobra. Gre za zelo ženstveno dišavo, ki pa je cenovno dostopna (cene se gibljejo med 15-20€ za 30ml).

"s.Oliver For Her is an elegant floral fragrance that begins with fresh notes of bergamot, lychee and pink pepper. A bouquet of Turkish rose, peony and magnolia gives the floral character, supported by the powdery - balsamic base of amber, musk and iris."

Of course it has a strong, floral smell which is not my favorite. However, when the upper notes wash away, it gets that nice, powdery-musk scent which I really like. It's a nice feminine fragrance. Also the packaging is very beautiful as it reminds me of Chloe perfumes. As for longevity goes, for a eau de toilete it seems to be quite long lasting. Plus, the price is very affordable at 15-20€ for 30 ml.

FOR HIM

SKINCARE

Mirati Face Wash

I usually buy whichever gel face cleanser since they usually don't impress me. Though I want it to be greatly cleansing. However, this one is quite different. The texture is thick, however when mixed with water it foams up nicely and feel very soft on the skin. It just feels different and more hydrating. Plus it doesn't dry out my skin at all. I blogged about it here.

Caudalie: Vinosource Moisturizing Mattifying Fluid

This face cream quickly became my favorite one. After years of searching for a great mattifying cream, I've successfully found something other than Vichy Normaderm which I've been using for 5 years. Firstly I discovered TBS Tea Tree mattifying cream which is high on top of my favorites list but somehow this one by Caudalie really stole my attention. It's such a gentle, light weight cream and great for oily skin. Containing natural ingredients it also feels good to be putting onto my skin. And I like the matt effect even though eventually I get oily. You can read my review here.

Vichy Idealia Eyes Eye Contour cream

Recently I've started using eye creams more often. And I especially like this one. It brightens up the under eye area while hydrating it. It's perfect for a routine before makeup since it sinks in right away. Though for a night time it could be more moisturizing.

Garnier Biphase Micellar Clenasing Water in Oil

There have been two micellar waters that impressed me - this one and by Bocassy. However I chose this one just because I'm used to anything infused with oils, so it's very easy to remove makeup. It does the job amazingly, plus it smells very fresh. And in comparison to any oil makeup remover it is much better since it's not that greasy. Though maybe I wouldn't recommend it for those who dislike cleansing oils or such since it can leave behind a bit of a greasy feeling. However I always double cleanse my face so it's perfect for me.

BODY

Afrodita Cosmetics Natural Balance Intimate Soap

I've only mentioned this product in my empties. Intimate products are not something we talk about a lot, however a soap is a must. It's balancing (the intimate area has different pH than whole body) and keeps the area fresh while this one with aloe vera also acts calming. I've tried the 3 Active version, however I kind of prefer this one. Also I love the fact that it's Slovenian made.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying Shower Gel

I know it's a mini sized product - 75ml to be exact, however it impressed me after just a few uses. Being infused with built-in body lotion it leaves the skin nicely soft and feels extra moisturizing. Besides that, I just looove the scent. It smells fruity but a bit floral, it's just unique. I need to purchase a full size soon.

Lush Sleepy Body lotion

I know I haven't been using this lotion for a long time (only two months), however I totally fell in love with the scent. I've talked about Lush body lotions before because they're the best to me. And then Christmas collection came out and along this body lotion. I just love the sweet lavender scent, it's just so comforting. Sadly you might not find this scent in stores anymore as it was part of Christmas collection.

OTHER

Lush I love Juicy shampoo

I've been using this shampoo for more than a year which is rare for me. It is simply the best I could find for my type of hair (greasy scalp, drier ends). So basically it is a shampoo with fresh juices which cleanse my scalp while Carrageenan Extract leaves it nicely soft. I don't even need a conditioner afterwards. Though I have to warn you that combination of juices can sting the eyes while washing.

Jessica Phenomen Culticle oil

My culticles have been very dry this year and when I remember I always choose this oil. Unlike some other oils, it absorbs quite quickly and doesn't leave behind too much of a greasy feeling. I dislike the almond scent but will still use it since it works nicely. I don't know how I will ever use it up because you need a small amount so it's definitely worth the money.
