Bunch of essence stuff

Hi girls!

While essence had changed its assortments this month, I still have some old goodies that I got from them all the way in September. Yep, maybe I'm the laziest blogger after all . Trust me, there's nothing I can do about it, it's not my fault that time flies in supersonic speed . Anyway, this is what they send me:

Premda je essence ovog mjeseca promijenio dio asortimana, nešto izbacio, nešto novo uveo... ja još uvijek imam neke od stvarčica koje su mi poslali čak u rujnu. Ok, možda sam ipak najlijenija blogerica . Ali vjerujte mi kad kažem, ništa ja tu ne mogu promijeniti, nisam ja kriva što vrijeme leti supersoničnom brzinom (ili mi ga netko krade) . Da ne davim, evo što su mi poslali:

What I did and what I think about essence nail art paper print manicure, you can see here. This set had a lot of potential, but unfortunately it was fail, at least when it comes to colored paper print.

I'd like to warn you that every bold letters are link to essence site, on which you can found more information about that product and list of ingredients. You can easily change the language by choosing your country at the bottom of page. 

Next thing from this list is a winner . It's essence studio nails express nail oil pen.

Što sam napravila i što mislim o essence nail art paper print manikuri, možete provjeriti ovdje. Ovaj set ima mnogo potencijala, na žalost moja očekivanja nije ispunio, barem kad se radi o dijelu s papirom u boji. 

Htjela bih Vas upozoriti i da su sva ova podebljana slova link na essence stranicu na kojoj ćete pronaći detaljnija objašnjenja o navedenom proizvodu, kao i sastav istih. 

Zato je iduća stvarčica čisti pobjednik . Radi se o essence studio nails express uljnoj olovci za nokte. 

The main difference between this pen and the old version is brush. With this pen you get real brush, that won't bend or split like the old version. 

Najveća razlika između ove i ranijih verzija je četkica. S ovom olovkom dobijete pravu četkicu, koja se neće ni savinuti, ni slomiti, ni razdijeliti kao što se to znalo dešavati starijima nakon dulje upotrebe. 

How to get the oil out from it? Piece of cake, just turn the end of your pen clockwise, this way you can easily manage the quantity of oil you want on your nails. It smells great, reminds me of cyclamen, and it's the most practical application of nail oil ever... just love it! You can see that some bigger companies, like OPI, are just announcing similar products. The only downside of this product is the fact that once yours hands are oiled and you touching the pen, the inscription on that pen will vanish. That doesn't bother me, but some of you may.  

Kako dobiti ulje van? Ništa lakše, samo okrenete kraj olovke u smjeru kazaljki na satu, i same određujete količinu ulja koju želite ili trebate. Super miriše, mene podsjeća na ciklame, i ovo je zbilja najpraktičnija aplikacija ulja za nokte ikad... i ja sam totalno oduševljena! Možda ste primjetile da i neke veće kompanije, poput OPI-ja, najavljuju sličan proizvod. Jedina mana ovog čuda je činjenica da ako se ulje s Vaših ruku prenese na olovku, izbrisat će napise na njoj. Meni ovo baš i ne smeta, ali nekima bi moglo. 

essence nail art GLOW in the nigh topcoat... does it work? Yes, it definitely works, I wore it in several occasions,  but I just couldn't capture it properly with my camera .

essence nail art GLOW in the night nadlak... radi li uopće? O da, definitivno radi, nosila sam ga u par navrata, ali mi nikako nije uspijevalo pošteno ga poslikati .

I've tried this and that, changing my camera's options... and these are the best results. I'm so unhappy with these photos, that's the only reason why you haven't see them earlier. Don't forget to charge up your nails under the lamp, and you're ready to light up someone's dark night . 

Pokušavala sam ovako i onako, mjenjala opcije na fotiću... i ovo su, na žalost, najbolji rezultati. Toliko sam nezadovoljna fotkama da ih najradije ne bih ni pokazivala. Ne zaboravite napuniti nokte ispod kakve lampe, i spremne ste osvijetliti nečiju tamnu noć .

essence studio nails pocket file set of 6 mini files. They look cute, and they fit any pocket or bag... but the quality is not that great. They're soft and easily ware out... but when it's emergency, they can be handy. 

essence studio nails pocket file set sa šest turpijica. Izgledaju slatko, i lako stanu u svaki džep ili torbu... ali kvaliteta im baš i nije bajna. Mekane su i lako i brzo istroše... ali u slučaju nužde, mogu poslužiti. 

This is how they look after just few using . Too bad.

Ovako su izgledale već nakon par korištenja . Na žalost.

essence nail art effect nails - 07 candy buffet - it really looks like candy buffet! 

essence nail art effect nails - 07 candy buffet - stvarno i izgleda kao brdo bonbončića!

These pearls come in a plastic jar, with handy cap which you can use if you're applying them like sprinkles. 

Perlice su u plastičnoj posudici, s praktičnim čepom kojeg možete koristiti tako da ih posipate po noktima. 

I like it better without it, I just dive my finger with wet polish in the jar .

Meni se više sviđa bez njega, tako prst s mokrim lakom samo uronim u teglicu .

I tried different shapes, I was just fooling around. Once they're completely dry, this manicure can last for a day or two. I love this kind of stuff, they're just not for everyday, but for special occasions when you really want your manicure to be noticed. 

The last thing that I got from essence team, doesn't have anything to do with nails. 

Pokušavala sam stvoriti različite oblike, malo sam se zaigrala. Jednom kad je sasvim suha, manikura Vam može potrajati barem dan-dva. Meni se ovakve stvarčice sviđaju, nisu za svaki dan, ali za kakvu posebnu priliku u kojoj želite da Vaša manikura bude primjećena - odličan izbor. 

Posljednja stvarčica iz ovog paketa od essence tima, nema ama baš ništa zajedničko s noktima. 

It's essence sun club all-in-one bronzing highlighter. 

Ovo je essence sun club all-in-one bronzing highlighter.

On upper photo I dipped my fingers on each color in this compact and pressed it on my skin. As you can see they're not that pigmented, but once you mix them and blend on your skin, they look lovely.

Na gornjoj fotci vidite razmaz prstiju umoćenih u svaku pojedinu boju ovog kompakta na koži. Možda se ne čine baš pigmentirani, ali kad ih pomiješate i izblendate na koži, baš lijepo izgledaju. 

Bronzer is visible enough and has shimmer in it, and highlighter just gives you nice glow, I think it's the way it should look, you don't need to shine like you took a bath in oil . I got the version for lighter skin, and I really love it. The packaging is cute, tight and practical, no need for bronzer and highlighter, you have it all in one. It has pleasant smells, which I really can't define, it applies like a dream, it doesn't crumble and on my skin it last whole day. It gives your skin (or mine if you like) healthy look and discrete shine, and I'm using it even during the winter, although this year we didn't have winter, just autumn and spring from October till now . 

As for new essence stuff, you can check it out yourself - here. 

Have you tried any of these stuff, did you liked them?

Bronzer je naravno vidljiviji, ima shimmera, a highlighter Vam da diskretan sjaj, mislim da tako i treba biti, a ne da se sjajimo kao da smo se okupale u ulju . Imam verziju za svjetliji ten, i stvarno mi se sviđa i paše. Pakiranje je slatko, čvrsto i praktično, ne trebam bronzer i highlighter, imam sve u jednom. Ugodno miriše, premda miris ne mogu definirati, nanosi se kao san, ne trusi se i na mojoj koži ostane čitav dan. Koži da zdrav izgled i diskretan sjaj, a koristim ga i sad, usred zime, premda ove godine zimu baš i nismo imali, više su se izmjenjivali jesen i proljeće još tamo od listopada prošle godine .

A što se tiče novih essence stvarčica, lako ih provjerite i same - ovdje.

Jeste li već probale neke od ovih stvarčica, kako su Vam se svidjele?

Thanks for stopping by, Žana
