Is this Naked Basics or what!?

Hi there!

I think it's time to let you know I'm still alive . This time I don't have new polish for you, but something that I also wanted to share with you. 

Vrijeme je da Vam dam do znanja da sam još živa . Ovaj put neću Vam pokazati novi lak (ali se mogu pohvaliti da ima i takvih), već nešto što sam isto tako htjela podijeliti s Vama. 

SAMMY Dress for Less

Hi there!

Some two months ago, I accept the offer from Dora from SAMMY Dress online shop to do a review of some of their products. She offered me products worth 30 $, including shipping costs. Looking what they offering, I decided to take two things - one for me, one for my boy. The package arrived after some fifteen to twenty days, outside it looked undamaged. And in it...
Although this is not a fashion blog, let me introduce you my son - 19, occupation: model, at least for a day .

Pred neka dva mjeseca, prihvatila sam ponudu od Dore iz SAMMY Dress online trgovine da napravim osvrt na par njihovih proizvoda. Ponudila mi je proizvode vrijednosti 30 $, s uključenim troškovima prijevoza. Nakon što sam pogledala što nude, odlučila sam se za dvije stvari - jednu za sebe, drugu za svog sina. Paket je stigao nakon nekih petnaest do dvadeset dana, i izvana se činio neoštećen. A unutra...
Premda ovo nije modni blog, dozvolite mi da Vam predstavim svog sina - 19, zanimanje: maneken, makar na jedan dan .

Famous shopping

Hi there!

You've probably heard of Famous Make Up. I saw few things there I just couldn't resist...
Pretpostavljam da ste već čule za Famous Make UP. Tamo sam vidjela par stvarčica kojima nisam mogla odoljeti...

so I bought myself this gorgeous Zebra palette, 2 nail polishes and Wash off Shimmer Tan. With this purchase I got Famous Party Purse as gift .

pa sam si kupila ovu krasnu Zebra paleticu, 2 laka za nokte i Losion za samotamnjenje koji se ispire. S ovom kupovinom dobila sam njihvou Party Purse na poklon .

In this cutest purse are four mini glitter polishes. But let's get back to what I was really excited for - the Zebra Complete Palette. 

U ovoj preslatkoj torbici su četiti mini glitter lakića. Ali bolje da se vratimo onom oko čega sam se najviše uzbudila - Zebra Complete Palette.

Once you opened it, you'll see a mirror with few first-aid brushes, and plastic cover above the palette. 

Nakon što ju otvorite, ugledat ćete ogledalo s par kistova za prvu pomoć i plastičan pokrov preko palete.

When you lift up the plastic cover, you'll finally see your palette, and names of all shades in plastic wrap. There's foil above palette, but it has a habit of sticking with plastic.

Kad podignete plastični pokrov, napokon ćete ugledati svoju paletu, skupa s imenima svih nijansi u plastičnom omotu. Paletu prekriva i folija koja se redovito prikrpi plastici. 

The palette consist of pressed powder and bronzer, three shades of blush, and 16 eyeshadows.

Paletica se sastoji od pudera i bronzera, tri nijanse rumenila i 16 sjenila za oči.

If you ask me, this are perfect tones for every eyes (ok, maybe but just maybe I would change this blue in green, because the green is at this moment closer to my heart).

Ako pitate mene, ove bojice idu uz svaku boju očiju (osobno bih možda, ali samo možda promijenila plave nijanse u zelene jer mi je trenutno zelena bliže srcu).

The pressed powder is in medium shade, bronzer too... I'm not sure if they'll fit for girls with darker skin. The blush shades looks fine, especially the highest shade.

Puder je nekakve srednje nijanse, bronzer isto... nisam baš sigurna bi li odgovarale curama s tamnijim tenom. Rumenila su mi skroz ok, naročito nijansa na vrhu.

Here you can see the names of all shades. 

Gore možete vidjeti imena svih nijansi.

Now, on the swatches. All of them on my hairy hand, without any base, I just dipped my fingers in  pots and smeared it on my skin.

A sad na swatcheve. Svi na mojoj dlakavoj ruci, bez baze, samo sam pritisnula prst u posudice i razmazala ga na kožu. 

Bronzer on left, pressed powder on right.

Bronzer na lijevoj, puder na desnoj strani.

Blushes, from bottom up in palette, from left to right on my hand.

Rumenila, odozdo prema gore u paleti, s lijeva na desno na ruci.

The first row of eyeshadows, brown and nude shades.

Prvi red sjenila, smeđe nude nijanse.

The second row, grey to black eyeshadow.

Drugi red, siva i crno sjenilo.

The third row, blue shades.

Treći red, plave nijanse.

The lowest row, pink and purple part of palette. 

Najniži red, ružićasto-ljubičasti dio palete.

As you can see, the lightest shades are barely visible (but they'll go in corner of your eyes so it's not necessarily bad thing), the rest of shades are pretty decent pigmented. They can be build and blend easily. They stayed on my eyes whole day, my skin is dry to normal and I don't have greasy lids. Some of these shades intends to crumble, but no big deal. You can wear them, depends on the shades you  choose, as a daily make-up or something more vampy, for long nights out. 

I'm pretty happy with all these shades, these are all colors I use the most. I bought this palette mainly because I don't have any palette with powder and blush, and this looked so convenient for travels - few more brushes and mascara and I'm all set .

Kao što možete vidjeti, najsvjetlije nijanse su jedva vidljive (ali kako idu samo u kut oka to i nije nužno loše), ostatak sasvim pristojno pigmentiran. Lako se nadograđuju i blendaju. Na mojim kapcima izdrže bez problema čitav dan, koža mi je suha do normalna i nemam problema s masnim kapcima. Par sjenila se nešto truse, ali ne prestrašno. Mogu se nositi, zavisno od nijansi koje izaberete, kao dnevni ili vampy look, za duge noćne izlaske. 

Osobno sam zadovoljna izborom nijansi, ovo su sve boje koje najčešće koristim. Paleticu sam kupila jer uz sjenila ima i puder i rumenila i izgledala mi je najpraktičnija za putovanje- još koji kist i maskara i ja sam spremna .

Although I live on seaside, I'm not big fan of roasting myself on beach all day, so I'm pale true whole year. But, showing white legs is not an option, that's why I bought this 'Feel The Heat' wash off shimmer tan lotion. On lower photo you can see the ingredients, they're not ideal, lots of parabens in it, but I don't intend to wear this every day. 

Iako sam na moru, više nisam ljubitelj prženja na plaži tijekom čitavog dana, pa znam biti svjetlije puti čitave godine. No to ne znači da treba pokazivati bijele nogare - zato sam kupila ovaj 'Feel The Heat' wash off shimmer tan odnosno svjetlucavi losion za samotamnjenje koji se pritom još i ispire. Na donjoj fotki možete vidjeti sastojke koji baš i nisu idelani, ima dosta parabena, ali ionako neću to čudo stavljati svaki dan.

On tube (75 ml) is safety cap, so you can be sure that no one before you didn't open this stuff.

Tubica od 75 ml ima sigurnosni poklopac, pa ste sigurni da ju nitko prije vas nije otvorio.

Looks pretty dark...

Izgleda prilično tamno...

...but once you smear it all over it's not so scary. Warning, this will emphasize all your skin problems, as dry skin or moles, so you better give your skin some hydration before using this. It gave my skin discreet glow which I liked, and the coloration looks very natural.

...ali jednom kad ju razmažete više nije tako strašno. Upozorenje, ovo će naglasiti sve probleme vaše kože poput suhe kože ili madeža i bradavica, pa je bolje hidratizirati kožu prije upotrebe. Moja koža je dobila i diskretan sjaj koji mi se svidio, a obojanost je izgledala sasvim prirodno.

And this is my poor hand after using this remedy for pale skin... don't be scared, it really wash off super easily . It didn't stained my cloths, which I highly appreciate.  

I payed 2.49 pounds for this baby, palette was 5.99, shipping to Croatia 4.95. It took some week to arrive here, everything was packed great, with lots of bubbling foil. There's currently action on their site, everything is half-price (these are half-price), so if you like any of these stuff, hurry and grab something for yourself. I'm really happy with my purchase, for this price I can recommend it with clear conscience. 

Now comes the part where you wondering what happens with nail polishes. Knowing me, you can be sure that every polish deserve its own post .

Do you spend your money online? Where?

Evo i moje jadne ruke nakon korištenja ove ljekarije za blijedu put... ne bojte se, prelako se ispire . Nije mi čak ni odjeću zamrljalo, a to jaaaako cijenim.

Platila sam 2.49 funte za ovo čudo, paleticu 5.99 a shipping do Hrvatske je 4.95. Sve je stiglo za nekih 7 dana, bilo je super zapakirano, s puno folije s mjehurićima. Još uvijek je aktualna akcija sve u pola cijene (to su i cijene po kojima je ovo plaćeno), pa ako vam se svidjela koja od ovih stvarčica, požurite i počastite se nečim. S ovom kupovinom sam prezadovoljna, i za ovu cijenu je mirne duše preporučim.

Sad slijedi dio gdje se vi pitata što se desilo s lakićima. Poznavajući mene, možete biti sigurni da svaki lak zaslužuje svoj post .

Ostavljate li i vi novce na online trgovinama? Kojima?

Thanks for stopping by. Žana

Hi there!

Last month I bought too many polishes... that means that some of them I can share with you . Let's see what we have here:
Prošli mjesec sam kupila previše lakova za nokte... to samo znači da ću neke od njih rado podijeliti s vama . Da vidimo što sve imamo tu:

One of you will get:

BeYu nail polish in shades #115 (bright red), #159 (taupe) and #344 (gold) with BeYu palette 'Fun & Style Quattro Eyeshadow' #56,

China Glaze texture nail polish 'unrefined',

Catrice nail polish 'Run Forest Run!'

and Essence Color & go 'the boy next door' nail polish.

All of these are bought by me, everything new and unopened (except of China Glaze 'unrefined' which you already saw, I wear it on two nails... sorry, I couldn't help myself). 

Jedna od vas će dobiti:
BeYu lakiće za nokte u nijansama #115 (žarkocrvena), #159 (taupe - šućmurastobućkasta nijansa) i #344 (zlatna) te BeYu paleticu 'Fun & Style Quattro Eyeshadow' # 56,
China Glaze texture lak 'unrefined',
Catrice lak za nokte 'Run Forest Run!'
i Essence Color & Go 'the boy next door'.
Sve ovo kupih sama, sve je novo i neotvoreno (osim China Glaze 'unrefined' kojeg ste već vidjeli, nosila sam ga na dva nokta... stvarno mi je žao, ali bilo je jače od mene, nisam si mogla pomoći).

But this time you'll have to do something for me . I would really love to see your nails, surprise me! You don't need to do any nail art, nothing fancy, I just want to see your nails painted in what ever style or color you like, with your analog signature. Write 'for nail crazy' on piece of paper and include that in your picture. Your photos must be online, I recommend ImageShack or some similar program, and you have to include the link of the photo in the form bellow. If you have any doubts or problems how to do this, let me know, I'll be glad to help you, but I'm sure the majority of you knows how to put a photo online. 

I need to know your name, your home address , photo of your nails and that's it! Winner will be chosen by mr. Random.
Good luck to you all, hope to see a lot of lovely manicures!
Ali ovog puta tražim da vi nešto napravite za mene . Stvarno bih voljela vidjeti vaše nokte, iznenadite me! Ne tražim nikakav nail art, ništa strašno teško, samo želim vidjeti vaše nokte nalakirane kako god vam drago i u kojoj god boji želite, zajedno s analognim potpisom. Napišite 'za nail crazy' na komadu papira i uklopite ga u fotku. Fotku ćete staviti online, preporučam ImageShack ili kakav sličan program, a link na fotku unesite u obrazac dolje. Ukoliko imate kakvih dilema ili problema oko ovog, slobodno se javite, bit će mi drago da vam pomognem, ali sam uvjerena da većina vas zna kako staviti fotku online.
Trebat će mi vaše ime, adresa , fotka vaših noktića i to je to! Pobjednika/cu će odabrati mr. Random.
Sretno vam svima, nadam se hrpi zgodnih manikura!
