Last few days...

Hi my friends!

I disappeared on a few days... in meantime, I celebrated my xy b-day on friday, grab a cake please . The cake was eaten, of course, as soon as I cut it. It's Schwarzwald cake, done by this recipe... it was too late, I was too tired and didn't decorated it properly... other than that, it was super yummy (I made it so I must say so) .
Nije me bilo par dana... u međuvremenu sam u petak proslavila svoj xy rođendan, uzmite malo torte, molim vas . Torta je pojedena, narafno, čim je izrezana. U pitanju je Schwarzwald-ica, napravljena prema ovom receptu... bilo je već kasno a ja umorna pa se nisam previše zamarala dekoriranjem... inaće, bila je jaaako ukusna (a pošto sam je napravila moram je i pohvalit) .

I was in olive picking... it was fun but exhausting. This year no pics with olives . But there will be a tons pics in this post, so stay tuned.

I received some Essence and Catrice goodies. Wanna see it?

Bila sam i u berbi maslina... bilo je zabavno ali iscrpljujuće. Ove godine nema fotki s maslinama . Ali bit će tona drugih fotki pa ostanite sa mnom. 

Dobila sam neke Essence i Catrice stvarčice. Želite ih vidjeti?

Let's start with a make-up base. This is a new Catrice product, 'ultimate moisture fresh skin make up' and they say it's deeply hydrating, longwear and oil-free. I have shade '10 light beige', the lightest of them.

Najbolje je početi s make-up bazom. Ovo je novi Catrice proizvod - 'ultimate moisture fresh skin make up' a za njega se kaže da duboko hidratizira, dugo traje i bezuljni je proizvod. Imam nijansu '10 light beige', najsvjetliju među njima.

On first photo you see the color of it, on the second I smeared it a bit. It covers well, but not perfect... medium coverage, I'd said. Although it said it's deeply hydrating, I must put my hydrating creme underneath, otherwise my face starts to peel. I have dry skin, I guess it would work fine with oily skin. But with day creme it's just fine. The price is decent, for that amount of money you have great product. This is my very first Catrice liquid powder, and I'm not disappointed.

Na prvoj fotki vidite boju, na drugoj sam ga razmazala. Dobro pokriva, ali ne savršeno... srednja pokrivnost, rekla bih. Iako kažu da duboko hidratizira, morala sam staviti hidratantnu kremu ispod, inaće mi se lice počne perutati. Imam suhu kožu, pretpostavljam da bi masnijoj koži više odgovarao. Ali, s dnevnom kremom kao podlogom je sve u redu. Cijena je pristojna, i za te novce dobijete sasvim solidan proizvod. Ovo mi je prvi Catrice tekući puder, i nisam razočarana.      

There's been so much talking about new Essence pigments. These are my first! The green is called ' kiss the frog' and the blue 'little mermaid'. I love it! Those jars are so cute, well protected with paper so the pigments won't be everywhere before you get it. On the last photo you can see the different between pigments on its own and how they look when you applied them on a base. I don't have a special base for these pigments, so I used my old one - Essence 'I love stage' eyeshadow base. You can also use them for mixing your own polishes (before these came up I used my old eyeshadows ). These two are slightly shimmery. I so love these! Must get me more colors . 

Bilo je puno govora o novim Essence pigmenata. Ovo su moji prvi! Zeleni je 'kiss the frog' a plavi 'little mermaid'. Obožavam ih! Teglice su preslatke, pigmenti dobro zaštićeni papirom pa se neće prosipati svugdje prije no što uopće dođu do vas. Na zadnjoj fotki možete vidjeti razliku između pigmenata nanešenih na golu kožu i preko baze. Nemam novu bazu posebno izbačenu s pigmentima pa sam koristila svoju staru - Essence 'I love stage' bazu za kapke. Pigmente možete koristiti i za stvaranje novih lakića (prije njih ja sam koristila stara sjenila ). Ova dva pigmenta su lagano svjetlucava. Zbilja su krasni! Moram si nabaciti još koju boju .

This is Catrice '130 Greentings from...' kohl kajal. Cool color, love it. The kajal is soft, but not too soft, and it slide great over your skin. It looks more pigmented with base. 

A ovo je Catrice '130 Greentings from...' kohl kajal olovka za oči. Cool boja, baš mi se sviđa. Olovka je mekana, ali ne premekana, i lagano klizi preko kože. S bazom izgleda pigmentiranije.

On the upper photos is Catrice liquid liptint in color '030 Are You Red-y?' I haven't use this kind of product before so I didn't knew what to expect. But let me tell you what did I get. This is not a lipstick, this is not even a lipgloss. This thing intensify the color of your lips, so you can use it under lipstick or lipgloss. And let me tell you, this one smells divine... like raspberry jelly beans . Even my son said it smells gorgeous, he came from living room to my bedroom asking what smells so great!  On third photo from up to down: one coat, one coat smeared and two coats. On the last photo in this group you can see how difficult is to remove it from the skin. I used cleansing milk and then almond oil, but it's still there. I hope it'll last just as long on lips. 

Na gornjim fotkama je Catrice tekući liptint u nijansi '030 Are You Red-y?'. Ove proizvode nisam prije koristila pa nisam ni znala što očekivati. Ali da vam kažem što sam dobila. Ovo definitivno nije ruž za usne, nije čak ni sjajilo. Ali ovo čudo pojačava boju vaših usana, pa ga možete koristiti kao podlogu za ruž ili sjajilo. I da vam kažem, miriše božanstveno... podsjeća me na žele bombone od maline . Čak je i moj sin rekao da miriše krasno, dolepršao je iz dnevne sobe pitajući koji sam to miris otvorila! Na trećoj fotki od gore prema dolje su: jedan sloj, pa razmazan sloj i najdonji u dva sloja. Na zadnjoj fotki iz ove grupe možete vidjeti kako je teško odstraniti ga s kože. Koristila sam prvo mlijeko za čišćenje a onda i bademovo ulje, ali crvena boja je još vidljiva. Nadam se da će ovako trajat i na usnama. 

This was Essence stay all day long lasting eyeshadow in shade '08 the magic must go on'. Awesome color, just the way I like it! It's creamy eyeshadow, with shimmer in it. It applies smoothly but it looks better with eyeshadow base, which you can see on upper photo.
Ovo je Essence stay all day long lasting eyeshadow u nijansi '08 the magic must go on'. Krasna boja, baš onakva kakvu ja volim! Ovo vam je kremasto sjenilo, s shimmerom. Nanosi se bez problema, ali opet izgleda bolje s bazom, kako možete vidjeti i na gornjoj fotki.

Catrice Absolute Eye Colour mono eyeshadow in color '550 Saw It On Blue Tube'. I have bluish grey eyes and blue looks yuck on me, but this shade I can wear! Such a gorgeous deep blue color . It applies nice, it's well pigmented, but as you can see, once again, it looks better with base on.  

Catrice Absolute Eye Colour mono eyeshadow '550 Saw It On Blue Tube'. Imam plavkasto sive oči i plave mi baš ne stoje, ali ovu nijansu definitivno mogu nostiti! Krasna tamno plava boja . Nanosi se bez problema, dobro je pigmentirana, ali kao što možete vidjeti, i ona bolje izgleda preko baze.

I also got this Essence multi action blackest black mascara. I was a bit skeptical, because I'm so in love with Essence's 'I love extreme' volume mascara, that one was a real revelation! Well, the new one is even better, I didn't think I'd said that, but my eyelashes are more defined with it, it separate them better, and it's so super black. I would show you, but I'm an old woman, and I must be careful for the sake of the sensitive people among you .

I've showed you enough for one day, for more pics, some better, some worst, come back tomorrow.

Dobila sam i Essence multi action najcrnju crnu maskaru. Bila sam malo skeptična, jer sam tako zaljubljena u Essenceovu staru 'I love extreme' volume maskaru, no ova je baš bila otkriće! Nova je još bolja, nisam mislila da ću to reći, ali bolje mi definira trepavice i razdvoji ih, i baš je crna da crnja ne može biti. Pokazala bih vam kako izgleda na očima, ali ja sam stara žena i moram paziti na one osjetljivije među vama .

No, dosta sam vam pokazala za jedan dan, za još koju bolju ili lošiju fotku navratite i sutra.

Till we meet again, love you all, Žana
