April in box

Hi there!

Sorry girls, this post will be in Croatian only.

Premda smo već danima u svibnju, ipak ću Vam pokazati što je novog kod mene od prošlog mjeseca. Opet sam skupila poštenu količinu proizvoda, postala sam prava shoppingholičarka .

Ok, kutija je puna i prepuna, ali ovo je zbilja maaaaala kutija.

Empty #4

Hi there!

Sorry girls, this post will be in Croatian only.

Zahvaljujući bloganju i svim beauty blogericama koje čitam postala sam pravi hrčak, jer svako malo naletim na nešto što bih htjela probati .
Zadnji ovakav post bio je skoro pred godinu dana, prošle godine u lipnju, pa se skupilo prilično toga. No, s početkom nove godine odlučila sam očistiti staro smeće i napraviti mjesta za novo . Sve što vidite, ispražnjeno je u tekućoj godini. 

February in Box

Hi there!

One more month has gone, and I have a bunch of new stuff to show you.

Još jedan mjesec je proletio, a ja sam opet završila s hrpom stvari spremnima za pokazivanje.

January's box of goodies

Hi there!

Only last week I removed our Christmas tree, it was time to get rid of it. I have never enjoyed in it so long, it was so cool to light up all those lights, just sit and enjoy in view, which I did every evening. Now it's time to move on... can you believe it's February already?

Anyway, there was something in the air this January, I was shopping a lot. Only thing I can say in my defence that the majority of these things was bought on discounts.

Tek sam prošli tjedan raskitila naše Božićno drvce, bilo je krajnje vrijeme da ga se rješim. Nikad nisam uživala u njemu ovako dugo, bilo mi je super upaliti svjećice, sjesti i uživati u pogledu, što sam i radila redovito svaku većer. No, vrijeme je da se krene dalje... možete li uopće vjerovati da smo već u veljači???
Nego, prošli je mjesec izgleda bilo nešto divlje u zraku, pa sam uživala u shoppingu. Jedino što mogu reći u svoju obranu je da je većina stvari ipak kupljena na akcijama. 

Favorites of 2013

Hi there!

It's been a while since I post 'new in' or an 'empty' post, so I decided to show you what I used the most during the last year. 

Nisam dugo napisala ni 'new in' ni 'empty' post, pa sam odlučila pokazati Vam za čim sam najčešće posezala tijekom prošle godine. 

New in September

Hi there!

As usual, I'll show you which beauty products came to me through September.
Kao i obićno, evo prikaza proizvoda koji su pronašli put do mene prošli mjesec.

Not a big bunch at all, I really learned to control myself and buy only what I need.

Nije prevelika gomila, već sam se naučila kontrolirati i uglavnom kupim samo ono što mi treba.

Balea Raspberry Face Wash Peeling, smells nice, we'll see if this is worth any, haven't tried yet.

Balea  Guave Shower Cream Gel, I usually love all Balea shower products, this one is not an exception. 

Afrodita Shower Gel with Jojoba Oil... most of girls love it, I hate it! I have a closed tub, and when I try to use this I almost throw up, I just couldn't bear that heavy smell. My son use it now, he loves it. 

Garnier Ultra Doux Heritage de Provence Shampoo with olive-tree leaves extract and rosemary oil - I bought it because I was extremely happy with shampoo with avocado oil and shea butter from the same line. 

Balea Malina Piling za Lice, zgodno miriše, tek treba provjeriti vrijedi li išta.

Balea Guave Gel za Tuširanje, volim Baleine gelove, ni ovaj nije iznimka.

Afrodita Gel za Tuširanje s Jojoba Uljem... većina ga cura hvali, a ja ga mrzim! Kod mene je kada zatvorena i kad sam pokušala koristiti ovo čudo skoro sam povratila, jednostavno ne mogu podnijeti tako težak miris. Preuzeo ga je moj sin, i njemu je ok (ne moram niti pričati da nakon njegovog tuširanja trebam ventilirati kuću). 

Garnier Ultra Doux Heritage de Provence Šampon s ekstraktom lista masline i uljem ružmarina sam kupila zato jer sam bila izuzetno zadovoljna sa šamponom s avokadovim uljem i karite maslacem iz iste linije.

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil with four oils: argan, macadamia, almond and rose. So far so good, but I haven't tested it properly. Some girls says that this feels so much as Nuxe dry oil, which I refuse to buy at such a ridiculous price.  

Balea Aqua Serum. My skin loves it! Depending of my skin condition, I wear it alone or under bb creme or liquid foundation, but the point is - I always wear it. I definitely see the difference when I use it. 

Garnier Ultimate Beauty Oil s četiri vrste ulja: arganovim, makadamija, badema i ruže. Nije loše, ali trebam ga temeljitije istestirati. Neke cure kažu da ih jaaako podsjeća na Nuxe-ovo suho ulje, za koje odbijam platiti urnebesnu cijenu.

Balea Aqua Serum. Moja ga koža voli! Zavisno od stanja iste, nosim ga samog ili ispod podloge, ali poanta je u tome - da ga stalno nosim. Razlika kad ga upotrebljavam ili ne, je očita. Preporučam za dodatnu hidrataciju.

Mill Creek Aloe Fresh Deodorant, organic, natural ingredients, without aluminum chlorohydrate, which was the main reason why I decided to try it. First product from iHerb that I'm very disappointed with. 

Tea Tree Oil, also from one of iHerb's brand. This spring I had a fungus problem on my right foot, on thumb's nail to be precise. This baby helped me more than anything, I will never be without it anymore. 

Mill Creek Aloe Fresh Deodorant, organski, prirodnih sastojaka, bez aluminijskih soli, što je i bio glavni razlog zbog kojeg sam ga uzela. Prvi proizvod s iHerb-a koji me zbilja razočarao.

Tea Tree Oil ilitiga ulje čajevca, također jednog od brandova s iHerba. Ovo proljeće sam imala problema s gljivicama na palcu desne noge... ovo ulje me spasilo! Nema šanse da mi kućna apoteka ostane bez njega.

Brown, blue and yellow sand polish from Catrice collection 'L'Afrique, c'est chic'. I really needed these, i know you understand. 

One of Colleen polishes, deep blue color, bought just to try them.

Smeđi, plavi i žuti hrapavac iz Catrice kolekcije 'L'Afrique, c'est chic'. Stvarno su mi trebali, znam da me razumijete.

Tu je i Colleen lak, modre boje, kupljen tek da ih probam, izbor boja me uopće nije privukao.

Essence Multi Action Blackest Black mascara - since I tried this baby I'm sticking on it. Very good mascara for great price, just love it!

Essence Lipstick in #07 'natural beauty' because that's me - all natural and beauty . I haven't wear a lipstick from years, but now I'm wearing it on a daily bases, which means only one - I'm pretty happy with it. 

Essence Multi Action Blackest Black maskara - otkako sam ju probala držim se nje. Super maskara za odličnu cijenu, oduševljena!

Essence Lipstick #07 'natural beauty' jer to sam ja - sva prirodna i lijepa . Godinama nisam nosila ruž, a ovog nosim svakodnevno, što znači samo jedno - da mi se jako sviđa. Kupujem još koje.

Olea Wet Tissues for glasses... trust me, those from dm (think the brand is 'denk mit') are better. 

Olea maramice za Vaše vjetro i suncobrane... vjerujte, one iz dm-a (čini mi se da je brand 'denk mit') su bolje.

I couldn't skip this silvered necklace with super-gorgeous pendant that I won on  Sanja's blog, she's so talented and handy, and I'm wearing this proudly. Thanks Sanja!

Here are some items that I got for a review purpose:

Nisam ni mogla ni htjela preskočiti ovu posrebrnjenu ogrlicu s fantastičnim privjeskom koju sam osvojila na Sanjinom blogu. Cura je zbilja talentirana, a ja ogrlicu nosim s ponosom. Hvala Sanja!

Tu su i neke stvarčice koje sam dobla na recenziju:

from / od essence,

from / od Incoco,

and from / i od KKCenterHk.

That's all folks! What's new in your beauty department?

I to je sve! Što je novog u Vašem kozmetičkom odjeljku?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana

New in August

Hi there!

Post on monthly shopping or 'new in' already become a tradition on this blog. I like to see things I've collected, especially if I've been good and not gone overboard with decorative or nail polishes . Here's a whole lot:

Post o mjesečnom shoppingu ilitiga novitetima mi se već pretvorio u tradiciju. I meni se sviđa ovako na okupu vidjeti stvari koje sam skupila, naročito ako sam bila dobra i nisam pretjerala s dekorativom odnosno lakićima . Evo čitave hrpe:

In Kozmo store I bought two of Fa shower gels, love them both.

U Kozmu sam na sniženju naletjela na Fa tuširalice i pokupila dvije, obje odlične.

Kozmo now has a new brand on its shelfs - Mess Head Hear Therapy, from which I took Shine Serum, based on silicone, gave my hair lovely shine without greasy feeling afterward.

Opet u Kozma, jedan od novih brandova u ponudi - Mess Head Hair Therapy, serumu za sjaj nisam mogla odoljeti. Super miriše i stvarno zasjaji i zagladi kosu a opet mi nije bila masna nakon toga. Na bazi silikona, ali frigaj ga...

I also took two antiperspirants: Nivea dry comfort which is my favorite for decade now, and Garnier mineral UltraDry. I would definitely advise you to take natural deodorant instead of these, but I'm kinda allergic to soda and I'm still searching for Mr right. 

I dezići su bili na akciji, uz Nivea dry comfort, koja mi je omiljena već čitavo desetljeće, ili mi se bar tako čini, uzela sam i Garnier mineral UltraDry i nije loš... ali ovu Niveu obožavam. Kod Miyu i EkozmetikeReciklozmetike možete pronaći izvrsne i zdrave deziće bez parabena i aluminijskih spojeve koje radije preporučam nego ove industrijske... meni nažalost soda iziritira kožu, no ako ipak pronađem neki prirodan koji mi paše obavezno vam javim. Zato je moj mužek oduševljen, a kad jedan muškarac kaže da ovakvi dezići djeluju onda znajte da su zbilja dobri.

See how well I behaved, only one new polish - Catrice Innocdent Toxin from Revoltaire collection. And, of course, nail polish remover, this one from essence is not that hard on my poor cuticles.

Bila sam dobra pa sam proteklih 30 dana kupila tek jedan lak - Catrice Innocent Toxin iz Revoltaire kolekcije. I naravno, trebao mi je novi odstranjivač laka, ovaj essence-ov je dovoljno blag za moje napaćene zanoktice.

I've heard a lot about L'oreal's 3in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution, so I took one to see it for myself. Haven't tried yet, but hoping it won't make me any problem.

L'oreal-ova micelarna otopina je postala zvijezda domaćih beauty blogova pa sam je morala i sama isprobati... odnosno, na probu još čeka jer imam dovoljno proizvoda koje koristim u iste svrhe. 

Signal toothpaste and KPlus shaving gel, which I took for the first time but I already love - it has a mild smell and didn't cause any reaction on my skin.

Pasta za zubeke i gel za brijanje Konzumove robne marke KPlus. Odličan je, blagog mirisa i bez ikakvih reakcija na koži!

Something to tame my wild hear.

Počastila sam se i novom kopčom za kosu. 

I really, really love shea butter! I'm trying to avoid any petroleum based cream, this is so much better and healthier solution for my dry skin. For any skin, if you ask me. For my son, whom is having a psoriasis, this is a real blessing (with addition of evening primrose oil but never the less). 

Cocoa butter is also great, smells gorgeous (I just wanna lick my hands), but if you having a dry skin, shea butter is a better solution. Highly recommend these products, bought on iHerb.

Shea butter, ili karite maslac, je kod mene već u standardnoj postavi. Trudim se izbaciti iz upotrebe sve mazalice na bazi petroleja odnosno nafte a ovo je odlična alternativa. Ovaj maslac puno bolje nahrani kožu koja ne traži 'piti' onako često kako je to bio slučaj dok sam trošila Baleinu Nevenovu mast. 

Kakao maslac sam uzela prvi put, u ovom je i ulje od jojobe a sve već znamo kako je jojoba prava stvar za našu kožu. Prekrasno miriše, dođe mi da si ližem ruke, koža je mekana i glatka nakon nje, ali meni je shea butter osobni favorit i za suhu kožu ipak bolji izbor. Da ne govorim kako je mom klincu s psorijazom pravi dar (doduše, u kombinaciji s uljem noćurka ali svejedno).

Osim ovim mazalica koje su stigle s iHerb-a, sve je kupljeno u Kozma... ovaj mjesec ću morati nadoknaditi propušteno vrijeme u dm-u kojeg protekli nisam ni posjetila .

Here you can see why I bought only one nail polish last month - I received so many of them as a gift .

Evo razloga zboj kojeg ovaj mjesec nisam tražila nove lakove - jer sam brdo njih dobila .

These lovely water decals, neon studs and glitter polishes came from Born Pretty Store.

Naljepnice, zakovice i glitter lakići su stigli od Born Pretty Store na recenziju.

From ItGirl I received these L'oreal cuties: Purple disturbia, Rebel blue and Lush tangerine.

Od ItGirl stigla su ova tri L'orealova medenjaka: Purple disturbia, Rebel blue i Lush tangerine.

My dear hubby brought me these polishes all the way from Papenburg, Germany. I wished for p2 sand style collection, which I got, and received some bonus polishes, it must be because I'm such an awesome lady . On photo you see: p2 sand style - adorable, lovesome, seductive, illegal and confidential. In lower row: Maybelline Color Show by Colorama in Wine Shimmer and Marinho, essence 'crack me! pearly pink' and 'spell bound!' and 'witches come true' from magnetics collection. I also got one lip gloss and two perfume, which I forgot to photograph... and bunch of Milka chocolate which is my favorite! 

A moj supružnik je u Papanburškom dm-u ulovio ove lakiće: p2 sand style - adorable, lovesome, seductive, illegal i confidential. Čak sam dobila i bonus: Maybelline Color Show by Colorama u nijansama Wine Shimmer i Marinho, essence 'crack me! pearly pink' te 'spell bound!' i 'witches come true' iz magnetics kolekcije. Donji red je tek isprika za one p2 lakiće koje nije uspio naći . Dobila sam još i jedno essence sjajilo, i dva parfemića ali njih sam zaboravila pofotkati... a o Milka čokoladama vam neću reći niti riječi - osim da su bile najteži dio njegove prtljage i najbrže se izgubile iz vidokruga .

How was your august? 

Čime ste se vi počastile protekli mjesec?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

New in July

Hi there!

At the beginning of this month, I have to reveal what came during the last one. Trust me, this time it wont be a big bunch. Let me start with showing them all together.
Na početku novog mjeseca, moram vam pokazati što je stiglo proteklog. Vjerujte mi, ovaj put to neće biti velika hrpa. Za početak, evo svih noviteta zajedno.

For my hair: 

'Garnier' Ultra Doux shampoo with avocado oil and shea butter. Sounds great, can't wait to try it. 

'Balea' Proffesional oil with argan and sunflower oil for damaged and dry hair. I so need this. 

Za kosu:

Garnier Ultra Doux šampon s avokadovim uljem i karite maslacem. Zvuči odlično, jedva čekam probati. 

Balea Proffesional ulje za kosu s arganovim i uljem suncokreta za oštećenu i suhu kosu, baš ono što mi treba.

For my face:

'alverde' 2 phase make-up remover. It said that's suitable for sensitive skin too... well, my ass is . It's full of alcohol and it burned my eyes! This is very first product from 'alverde' that I bought, I'm not sure if I'll make that mistake twice.... or maybe next time I'll read a label before I actually bought something. 

'My face' skin care washing cream, haven't tried yet, but I'll hope I'll have more luck with this product than the first one . 

'Balea' clear-up stripes. Since I have enlarged pores on my nose, these stripes work just fine for me. Yes, I use them only on my nose.

Za lice:

alverde 2-fazni odstranjivač šminke. Kaže da je pogodan za osjetljivu kožu... ma da, jako . Pun je alkohola i spalio mi je oči pri prvom isprobavanju! Ovo mi je prvi alverde proizvod, nisam sigurna hoću li ikad više kupiti išta njihovo... a možda ću idući put pročitati etiketu prije no što nešto zaista i kupim. 

Ukoliko koja od vas koristi ovaj proizvod i paše vam, rado ću ga proslijediti, javite mi se komentarom ili emailom. 

My face krema za dnevno, blago ćišćenje lica. Nisam još probala, ali toplo se nadam da ću imati više sreće nego s prethodnim proizvodom.

Balea trakice za dubinsko čiščenje. Imam proširene pore na surli pa ove trakice kod mene sasvim dobro djeluju i da, koristim ih samo za nos. 

From neck down:

'Cien' anti-perspirant with aloe vera. Cheap and efficient roll-on, gentle to my skin. Maybe I'll buy it again, maybe I don't.

'Balea' creamy shower gel with mango butter and ananas - smells divine. Love Balea products, have to try them all .

'Nivea' invisible antiperspirant stick. Works fine, smells nice, no bad reaction on my skin - so far, so good. Unfortunately I had to give up from natural deodorants, soda in them really irritates my skin .

Od vrata dolje:

Cien anti-perspirant s aloe verom. Jeftin i što se mene tiče učinkovit roll-on, nježan prema mojoj koži, i možda ga kupim još koji put. 

Balea kremasti gel za tuširanje s maslacem od manga i ananasa - miriše božanstveno! Volim Baleine proizvode, moram ih sve probati .

Nivea invisible antiperspirant. Radi super, fino miriše, nikakve reakcije na koži - za sada, sve štima. Na žalost, morala sam odustati od prirodnih dezića, soda u njima iritira moju kožu .

New toothpaste and some products we all use but barely talk about them .

Nova pasta za zube i neki proizvodi koje manje-više sve koristimo ali jedva progovaramo o njima .

New 'Out of Africa' lip balm, unscented, with shea butter, and two of 'Madre Bees' lip balms - one unflavored, the other one with pomegranate oil. 'Madre Bees' lip balms are great, but 'Out of Africa' are just perfect . Does anyone knows how come I always pay for 'Madre Bees' lip balms, although they are suppose to be free of charge on iHerb??

Novi 'Out of Africa' balzam za usne, bez mirisa, sa karite maslacem i dva 'Madre Bees' balzama - jedan neutralnog ukusa a drugi s uljem nara. 'Madre Bees' balzami uopće nisu loši, ali 'Out of Africa' su mi savršeni . Može li me itko prosvijetliti - kako to da uvijek platim za 'Madre Bees' balzame kad se na iHerbu nude kao besplatni??

These were the things I bought, now on the things I've received .

Ovo su bile stvari koje sam kupila, idemo sad na ono što sam dobila .

From Juliana Nails I got these two nail file, topcoat and bottle of cuticle oil. More about those some other time, after I try them properly. 

Od Julijana Nails dobila sam dvije turpijice, nadlak i bočicu ulja za zanoktice. Više o njima ćete ćuti kad ih pošteno isprobam.

From sweet Josipa I got these two 'pevonia' face creams. 

'Balea' hair mask came from Lenka, it was consolation prize - instead of an ice cream .

Od drage Josipe dobila sam ove dvije 'pevonia' kremice za lice. 

Baleina maska za kosu je od Lenke, utješna nagrada umjesto sladoleda .

From Lendoxia I received these two polishes - Catrice 'London's Weather Forecast' (one of my favorite of all times) and 'essence' i'm bleutiful.

Od  Lendoxie sam dobila ova dva laka - Catrice London's Weather Forecast (jedan od omiljenih svih vremena) i essence-ov 'i'm bleutiful'.

Rapsodi 33 and 35 (my first of this brand), 'smart girls get more' 65 (limited edition), MUA nail polish in shade 13, essence 'chica' from their 'show off!' collection, Deborah Shine Tech in #23 and essence 'fairy berry' of 'fairy tale' collection - these are all from Irena, for leaving the most comments on her blog. Thank you girls .

Rapsodi 33 i 35 (moji prvi ovog branda), 'smart girls get more' #65 (le), MUA lak za nokte #13, essence 'chica' iz kolekcije 'show off!', Deborah Shine Tech #23 i essence 'fairy berry' iz 'fairy tale' le - svi su stigli od Irene zato što sam na njenom blogu ostavila najviše komentara. Hvala cure .

And this is, believe it or not, the only nail polish that I've bought last month - Lovely Lapis suncoat peelable water-based nail polish. I bought it on iHerb, stay tuned to see it in action. 

I think I was good girl through july. How about you, have you spend a fortune on your cosmetics!?

A evo i, vjerovale ili ne, jedinog laka kojeg sam kupila protekli mjesec - Lovely Lapis lak na vodenoj bazi. Kupljen na iHerb, recenzija uskoro.

Mislim da sam ovog srpnja baš bila dobra. A vi, jeste dale bogatstvo za kozmetiku!?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana 

p.s. 

Best commentator last month was Lendoxia, so she'll become a new owner of these thingies:

Najbolji odnosno najvrijedniji komentator prošli mjesec je bila Lendoxia, pa će ona biti novi vlasnik ovih stvačica:

Congrats! / Čestitam!
