Empties #12 :)
Hello! It's been ages since I last posted about products I have finished up! I was sceptical about posting these as they were waiting their turn for so long and I almost forgot I ever used them :P However, I wanted to continue with leading a record of what I used up and weather or not I liked it, if I have repurchased or not... So here's a bunch of empties, waiting for me to talk about them since March! :P

Na testu: Dvorec Trebnik - Čistilni losjon in osvežujoči tonik :)
Pozdravljeni! Dobrodošli na mojem blogu oziroma dobrodošli nazaj! :P Pred časom sem bila povabljena na predstavitev novih izdelkov za nego obraza znamke Dvorec Trebnik. Predstavitev se je odvijala na Golteh kjer so nas res super razvajali in moram reči, da mi je zelo žal, da nisem uspela takrat spisati posebne objave o samem dogodku, vendar žal ni bilo časa. Zagotovo kakšno najdete pri kolegicah soblogerkah! Za začetek sem najprej poskusila čistilni losjon ter osvežujoči tonik, zato tudi najprej poročam, kako sta se obnesla ta dva izdelka. ;)

NEW IN December 2015 :)
Hello! Happy New Year everyone! Yes, I am still alive and kicking, even though I have not posted much in the last couple of weeks. Holidays can be pretty tricky and full of everything, so I hope you can understand the need to work on everything else in my life and sometimes not post as much... New year arrived very quickly, I hoped I will be able to post more in December, so I can already tell you that in January you will be reading a lot of reviews of products I have received in the last months of the previous year. But it's time for me to stop rambling and go on with my newbies from December, that's what's really interesting anyway!
Let's start with the pinks! From Kozmetika Afrodita I was sent a very lovely package, those who follow me on Instagram and Facebook, you have already seen this, and of course the whole package with the gourgeous box and all! Inside I have received Body Mousse cocoa butter & vitamin E with the scent of strawberries! It smells amazing, not like a fake plastic strawberry scent, but like a really nice strawberry smoothie or ice cream. I haven't tried it out yet, but you can expect a full review. The second item here is a lovely daily eyeshadow palette by Catrice which was a gift from lovely Natalija from Essence & Catrice! It's from the latest limited edition Graphic Grace and it's called C01 Linear Lines! I love the combination, even though I rarely use pink eyeshadow! The other three shades are very gentle and very wearable, so far I liked them! There will be a full review for this palette as well! Last item is another brush, I wanted this one for a long time and I finally bought it at my local Interspar actually, it by UBU brand and it's for contour or bronzer, and I like it soo slim I can use it for a more light and precise application. I prefer this one to the regular fan brush as this one is more compact and it's easier to control the amout of product I want to apply.
Some newbies for hair! The first product is a hair mask I got as a Christmas gift, it's by Le Petit Marseillais, its the Shea Butter and Honey one, more suitable for dry and damaged hair, but I have heard soo many great comments and recommenations for this one that I will try it as well! The second product is a repourchase for me, my second bottle of Batiste dry shampoo! I really like this one and it's priced at a reasonable price, about 5 euros, so I guess I will keep repurchasing for now! I love that it doesn't make my hair white and that if I apply enough of it, can actually get away with really greasy hair! And it holds for a whole day, not just for a couple of hours!
New jewelry! From Rock Vibe I won a giveaway and received this lovely pendant necklace with cat's eye stone in it, as well as the necklace next to it, though that one is really not my style and I probably won't end up wearing it. However I am really excited I have received two sets of earrings, both by H&M! I really wanted these winter themed one, with stars and snowflakes! Love these so much! I have also a new necklace, also by H&M, which I conveniantely forgot at my parents house and couldn't photograph it... But it's also a gorgeous one, very unlike me, but it's golden, shiny and colourful - with again - stars, moon, sun pendants! I will show it to you once I get it back, so keep watching out my social media pages!
Do you love chocolate as much as I do? If you do, than these two products by AVON are perfect for you! I received both as Saint Nicholas's gift at the beginning of December! These are both from the Planet Spa collection called Indulgent SPA Ritual and they are Chocolate Bath Elixir and Chocolate Face Mask! A perfect winter treatment for me!
I admit to being very active on Facebook in December, especially with all the giveaways, so these two goodies by I Love... came to me through a giveaway as well. I won it over at Beauty World. I am in love with the scent of the Mango & Papaya combination! It's really juicy and fresh and fruity! I haven't tried the lip gloss yet, but it looks very promising! From the I Love.. lip glosses I have already the Coconut& Cream one and I really like it! The shower gel is sadly just a mini version, but I guess I will repurchase a bigger bottle after I use up this one!
I have a new skin care product I am really looking forward to try! From Eucerin came a wishing letter and this AQUAporin Active cream. I have not yet tried any of their facial creams, not even testers, don't really know why, but I just never had anything from them. However my (to be) mother in law really likes the brand and uses their creams all the time! I plan to test and try also the body milk I was sent some time ago ( I know, I still haven't gotten around to trying that one out,..) and write a review on that one too.. though I might just write it all together in one post, will see. I am using the last bits of my Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep cream and even though I am sad to see it go, I am looking forward to trying out this one!
From Dvorec Trebnik I have received a huge box of goodies - the trio you see here and the book as well! I have already posted about the shower gel Juicy Orange, but I am glad I got it again as I feel like winter is perfect for fresh, citrus scents! I know some people prefer them in summer time, but I really like to use something light in winter time as well.. Along with it came Massage oil Vanilla, which has been sitting on my desk for a couple of days now, waiting to be tested, but I haven't finished yet my previous body cream, and I really want to do that first. So I have no idea how it smells, how it feels, how greasy or nourishing it is, but I will post about it for sure. The third product was Argan Ointment and I have already had a couple of testers of this one and I loved it! It is really amazing for any scars, scratches, dry skin! The way this helps me is really impressive and I was super excited to receive this in full size! The last part of the gift was this book Lepo; O lepoti, staranju in estetski kirurgiji by Franc Planinšek and others. I haven't started reading it yet ( I'm into exam mode right now), but if I do find the book interesting I will surely post about it here!
Some more Dvorec Trebnik goodies! Both of these I got as a gift at work (there were also other gifts, but weren't beauty related, so I haven't includeed them here) I got Shower gel Marigold and Marigold Ointment! I have already tested both and also spoken about them in this post, so I was really happy to get these two as well! The lucky coincidence with these was that in the morning I received the gift from Dvorec Trebnik and than in the afternoon the second one at work!
Another lovely surprise was this huge snowball by NIVEA and inside was hidden under snow this mini travel size Nivea creme 10 ml! Such a cute packaging and it was such a lovely surprise! This was one of the most original and different surprises from previous month! I got lucky the postman didn't crush this and it got to me whole!
If you read any Slovenian Beauty Bloggers than you already know that we had a Secret Santa game going on and eash got a gift from a randomly picked blogger. I have received a huge bunch of goodies from Ana - Beautysaur blog! I love her blog, her photos and the beauty choices she makes - I would love to borrow some of the products she has! Go check her blog here, if you don't know her already! So on to what my Secret Santa brought me! I got this huge round pot of I Love... Peachy Passionfruit nourishing body butter! Haven't opened it yet (same reason as above - I want to finish up one product before starting new ones), but I hope I will like the scent! I don't think I ever had anything this juicy! Than I got a glass nail file, but I am not sure who's it from, I will check with Ana. Also for nails I got the nail block thingy for nails! How did she know my nails need some more care?! Than there was a KIKO Nail Lacquer in shade 338 Light Lavander and it's such a gorgeous shade! Anyway, if you want to see the shade you will have to meet with me for a coffee or something, because this one definitely didn't want to be photographed! I also got a tinted lip balm P.S. in a lovely rosy shade. And also for lips is this KIKO Smart lip pencil in shade 712 Rose Mauve! I haven't been using the lip products much yet, I know that's unusual for me, but my lips are soo dry lately I kinda avoid regular lipsticks/pencils/glosses and try to stick with the lip balms more. The last lovely bit here is a scented wax Snowflake Cookie by Yankee Candle. Adore the scent so much! Plus - for all slovenian readers - this scent is the scent of the month January and you can get it now for 20% off!
So after all of these goodies, there was another one at the bottom of the box! And it is soo beautifulll it deserves a special place in this post! From Sephora I got my very first ever Sephora eyeshadow and face makeup palette! I have never tried anything from them before, only one mono eyeshadow and I liked that one, but these are soo pretty! The design of the plastic box outside and than the design of the box itself, how it opens up, the shades! It's the ultimate "take me with you anywhere" palette with a lovely blush that suits me and also two highlighters! I fell in love with shades Friday night and Scented candle at first sight, but the rest are also very beautiful! Love that I can make daily looks with this one as well as evening looks!
You may have already spotted that we had a special pre - new year event and that some of the beauty bloggers posted about it already! I won0t post about it separately, but all I can say is that it was really nice to see all the girls again! I have also met some of them for the first time and I had a nice time there! We met at Sputnik Svetovna kavarna , and I had no idea this was soo close to where I live! A big thank you goes to Gabi from Parokeets and Ajda from Ajda's for organizing the event, reserving a place for us and also for getting us some sponsors! I thought this was just gonna be like a bunch of girls going for coffee but it became a lot more! I would also like to thanks all the sponsors who decided to participate - AlpStories, Jessica Slovenija, Alessandro and E- kozmetika, 4 kids and us! I got lucky to receive some amazing gifts at the event! From AlpStories each one of us received a personalized and very creative gift! I got Have a Very Cherry Merry Christmas body milk with cherry scent, Keep Calm It's Almost Summer .. or take a btah and use your imagination bath salt with vanilla scent, This May Be A Wine ... But it's not, it's masage oil with rosemary scent and also two minis - Body milk and Shower gel Marigold. I mean, pretty amazing, right! The design, the colours, the names! I really love this gift and I like that a brand really invests into being more creative, different and personal! It makes a lot of difference if you get a gift like this instead of something generic.
Also at out little event I got another Alessandro nail polish, this time in shade Purple Purpose and Jessica Phenomen Oil. I haven't tried the nail polish yet, but I am regularly using the oil! And I love it! It does miracles, like some other bloggers promised me! I love the shape of the bottle, the pipette system and the scent of the product. It sinks into my skin really fast and actually visibly helps instantly! One of my most recent favourites (of all times, especially considering products for nail care)! Also treated myself a bit with Essence Winter? Wonderful! to coat in 01 A Winter's Tale. I won't be posting about this one separately, but I have already posted a review of a couple of products from this collection here.
A couple of random lovely bits! Won another giveaway over at Yves Rocher and got Fruits Noirs Blackberries sparkling body powder! I already have the hand cream from the collection and love the scent, you can read more about it here! So you can guess I was pretty excited to get this one as well, smells the same, yummy as well! Another gift was the new Bourjois Poudre de Riz de Java! I actually have the previous one as well and I have never posted about it, but it's a pretty amazing product! Smells divine, the effect on my skin (even though I have greasy skin) is also pretty great and it's just a little something I like to use every now and then... Now that I have both versions I will most definitely post about them! Third product is my new foundation by Deborah, called Dress Me Perfect in shade 00 Fair, which I bought at my local DM store. I got lucky they were sending the 50% off coupons, so of course I had to give this a try as it already impressed me with the testers! It doesn't happen often that I like a foundation soo quickly, but this one actually wow-ed me!
December is also perfect time for new fragrances and my Santa brought me a new one by Oriflame! I got My Naked Truth EdT and it's a very light scent, smells like a perfect flowery fruity combination and maybe this is more suitable for spring time, but I love it now and I use it almost daily! I feel like winter is full of heavy, sweet and spicy scents anyway.
A couple of random bits! I bought Nivea Creme Smooth cream shower and I must say I actually bought three at DM and two are already empty! I used the as hand soap as well and they smells so clean! I know it's a funny word to use when describing scent, but it does smell like a clean cottton! Anyway, I like that these don't dry out my skin, plus the scent is a big bonus.I needed another nail polish remover so I got Ebelin one, the usual one, nothing special about it, just another repurchase. Also got two new lip balms! One is by Oriflame and it's from the Tender care collection with Honey scent with organic honey. Love it, this really helps my lips lately, so I keep using it! Also like the scent, even though I am not a big fan of honey scented products. Some are just too plastic, but this one is actually pretty good! The second lip balm I got from my mom and it's the new Labello Cocoa Lip Butter! Also love to use this one, though it doesn't have a strong scent and I hoped it would have.
Another surprise package I got in December were these cute socks that came with a wishing card from Adria Spa! There's never enough socks and these are really cute and soft! Plus I loved that they were thinking outside the box, giving a bit different gifts than "just" cosmetics.
And now - LIPS! A big bunch of new lippies this month! From Essence limited edition All That Greys I received two lip glosses that are actually more like liquid lipsticks, they are very pigmented. I got shades 01 Roaring red and 02 That's what Rose would do. So Far I liked both shades, especially the dark one! From Catrice I got a new lip oil 01 Cozy cashmere, from the limited edition Rough Luxury. Also two new lipsticks in shades C01 Natural Nude and C02 Rustiy Red. I must say none of these really impressed me. I mean I like them, but they are not that, you know... amazing. I like the darker shade more than the nude one, thought the nude one suits me well too. The lip oil is just too runny and doesn't really do much for my lips, I prefer the lip oils from Essence Winter? Wonderful! collection. The last lippie here is also by Catrice, from the Alluring Reds collection, it's lip colour & care in shade C01 Smooth Operator. From the bunch I loved this one the most as it's most easy to use, cares for my lips and also gives me a hint of colour!
And of course that's not just it yet, I got some more lipsticks! From Deborah I have my third Absolute Liquid lipstick in shade 08! It's a true red shade, but I feel like this one doesn't suit me as well as the other two I have. Also won a giveaway over at a fellow blogger tara and her blog The Beauty Of A Nail Polish. I won ArtDeco lipstick from their winter collection Arctic Beauty in shade 103! And also bought two new lippies - Revlon Matte Balm in shade 270 Fiery and Oriflame The ONE Power Shine lip gloss in shade Sapphire Irridescence. I have been loving both very much, sadly, there weren't many chances to wear them... Though I must say the Sapphire Irridescence doesn't look blue on my lips, just slightly bluish and sparkly and it's got such a fine shimmer it doesn't look glittery, just ultra shiny. Love the shade!
And more Christmas gift! My boyfriends sister got me a little something from Sephora! It's a special edition Let it snow collection! This came in a lovely light blue and white packaging, designed like a little snow house, looked very cute! Inside I got a shimmering bubble bath & shower gel, a velvety body moisturizer and a white shower flower! Love the design of the whole package and especially of the bubble bath! It's round at the back and flat at the front with the white snowflake print! And the little round pot also has a bit of a face on it, looks like a snowman on the side ( other side, I didn't get to photograph, cause the product was constantly moving and rolling over). I love the light scent of this and I am planning a full post for these goodies as well!
So finally, this is it! I may rest now! Took me a long time to write this down! Also got some more gifts I didn't include in the post as they are not beauty (brand) related - some kitchen stuff like red wine glasses, a three story stand for cupcakes and such, a container for butter, a new pan for sauces that can also be used in the oven, some fluffy cozy socks for the lazy days, some more socks for every day... some amazing food treats and teas.. anyway, I was spoiled rotten in December!
How was your December? Any new gifts that impressed you?
Thanks for reading!

WINTER Essentials - HANDCREAMS!
Hello! Are you also in love with hand creams and can't say no to buying another one, even though you already have a couple at home? You are? Really? So am I! And this post is perfect for all hand cream junkies out there! I have prepared a post presenting my current stash of hand creams. Of course these are not all I have, but I will explain later why I haven't included the rest as well.
So, winter and well all colder months tend to make my hands really dry and my skin gets more thin and itchy and I do need to use a good moisturizer a lot. That doesn't mean I don't use hand creams all year round, just that I need them more in these colder months. I have had a couple of hand creams I have really loved and they will be honorably mentioned at the end, as I no longer have them and haven't repurchased them yet!
For today's post I have selected six hand creams I still have at home and have not been mentioned yet or talked about on my blog, except for Lemony Flutter, I have a full review for that one over here. This is not exactly a hand cream, but more of a cuticle butter that you can use all over, not just on your hands! I won't be talking long about this butter, but it's pretty versatile and ba used as more than just a cuticle butter! Though cuticles are very targeted in wintery cold months, this can be used just as a hand cream or on your elbows and such. You need just a small amount and it may take a bit longer to sink into the skin, but it will make your skin really soft and do it's magic well. If you love fresh, lemony scent - than this should be perfect for you!
First hand product is actually a creamy hand gel called Fresh Aloe by Dvorec Trebnik. I must say I love their hand products! They really do the job and sink in to the skin really fast! I have already talked about one of their hand gels on my blog, you can read the review here. This is a creamy hand gel base on valuable oils. Aloe is as we know very hydrating and leaves the skin soft and smooth. Avocado oil is very moisturizing and promotes skin renewal. Wheat germ oil contains high vitamin E and protects against the influence of weather. All in all, this product sounds very promising and it also delivers! It's got a creamy but light texture, a gentle fresh scent I reall like, sinks into the skin really fast! Doesn't leave any greasy residue on my hands and I can go working on my stuff right away! It also doesn't contain any parabens, mineral oil, silicones or synthetic colouring. It comes packaged in a round plastic pot with a lid, it contains 50 ml and retails at 4,79 euros. You can get more info about this hand cream here!
I have already mentioned LUSH Lemony Flutter above but I just have to say if you are a fan of natural cosmetics, if you like LUSH products, if you like fresh citrusy products you should try this or maybe just at least try it in the store! It's not the most expensive but it's also not that cheap - for 50 grams you will give about 10 euros, at least that's the slovenian price here. Still, as I am saving this a bit and only using it for my hands it lasted me a whole year and some! So For such a long period of time this is well worth the buy! Also other beuaty bloggers I know also recommended me this especially for the winter time as it really helps with the dry cuticles! Which I always have!
And now two hand creams that are a bit cheaper and available at local DM stores! First on is by Essence and it came in this years hand creams limited edition but you can probably still get it at some stores. It's theirs Hi, I care for you! hand cream with floral fragrance. This one promises to be an intensive care for particularly rough and dry hands. The repair formula with shea butter and coconut oil provides moisture and care and protects your hands from dryness for up to 24 hours. And also promises not to leave an oily residue! I can confirm that, it doesn't leave your hands sticky and greasy! It's also a very light cream, the texture is light and gentle, sinks in easily and nourishes my skin, but it did not help me from feeling dry hands in 24 hours, this helps me more for a couple of hours at most. It comes in a plastic tube that contains 75 ml and retails for about 2,19 euros.
The second one I bough a couple of months ago but recently started using it! It's by Balea and it's from their Luxury collection - Golden Glamour! I must say I fell in love with the scent! This is just soo amazingly smelling product that I also bought a bath salt and will be posting a separate post about both products as well! They smell of patchuli and vanilla and the combination is divine! The other Luxury combination is called Red Love and smells of coconut, just so you know, all you coconut lover out there! The bonus is these Balea products are really affordable, I think this hand lotion was a bit more expensive, something over 2 euros, but the rest of the products from this collection are a bit under two euros and up to three, so really reasonable priced and also look amazing! I love the packaging of this hand lotion! The black and golden design looks very glam, the pump dispenser makes the use of this very clean, more than with Dvorec Trebnik or Lush. The plastic bottle contains 150 ml, so you also get the largest amount for the price! If you don't have a Christmas gift yet and you are on a budget - this could be perfect! However, this is a hand lotion, meaning the texture of this is more runny than with other products presented here and may not deliver as well as other hand creams. It nourishes well, but you may need to reapply more often. Anyway, the combo of price, amount and scent is just too good not to give this a try!
Next one has been in my stash for quite some time now and it's by Yves Rocher, from their last years winter collection Fruits Noirs/ Blackberries hand cream. I admit I've been saving this one as well, as I wasn't sure I will be able to buy it again soon and it smells so amazing! It's very similar in texture to Balea hand lotion as it has a more liquidy, more runny texture than other hand creams. It sinks into the skin well and fast, but may leave a greasy residue if you apply too much at once. It smells soo good! The sweet scent of berries is simply amazing! It doesn't perform so well at nourishing, but it can be compared to the Balea one or Essence one. It comes packaged in a plastic tube that contains 75 ml and the price was about 4 euros or something like that. This year they have a bit different winter offer and you can get three different hand creams - orange & almond, orange & cinnamon, spicy vanilla. Anyway, if you are into super scented and delicious hand creams you should try something from Yves Rocher!
And the last hand cream I have here is by Kozmetika Afrodita and is also already on my repurchase list! Because it's really amazing! It comes packaged in a plastic tube that contains 75 ml. It's actually 2 in 1 product, a hand and nail care hand cream Olive. It's a fast absorbing cream and also has antibacterial effect! I love to carry this one with me in my bag or just have it on my desk at all times. They way this dries up and sinks into my skin is amazing! If I said before with other creams they sink in fast - triple that with this one! This just sinks into my skin before I am even finished rubbing it in! It's also got a very lightweight texture, doesn't leave any greasy residue ever and is perfect even to take with you to your work as it dries up so fast you can use your hands almost instantly. I alo love that it contains olive extract and lemon essential oil, these two intensively moisturise the skin on your hands, provide nail and cuticle care and is also mildly antibacterial. It's also paraben, paraffin and silicone free! Plus is also reasonable price, depends where you buy it though, it can be somewehere between 3 or 4 euros! Really recommend this one, it's been my favourite to use in the last two months!
And now some honourable mentions! I loved the Caudalie Hand and Nail cream and I wish to repurchase it as it was really great to my hands! Full review you can read here! Nivea Soft, that is actually universal cream but I mostly used it as a hand cream! Performs really well, love the secnt as well as the effect on my skin. The Body Shop also makes some mean hand creams! I loved this one - Coconut! The texture was very light but still very nourishing and the smell was amazing, I want it again! If you like natural cosmetics and don't mind getting your hands a bit greasy this one by Alverde, might work well for you - personally I didn't like it enough to repurchase it again - Alverde Naturkosmetik Intensiv handcreme with pomegranate and shea butter. Also a shout out to all L'Occitane hand creams, especially the Shea butter ones are amazing! Weather you buy it as a gift or just for your own personal use they perform very well. The Shea ones are the ones that really nourish the best and I have had a couple of them already. I would love to repurchase but I am currently enjoying one from the latest winter collection Pierre Herme Pamplemousse Rhubarbe, you can read more about it here. Also love to use the classic NIVEA creme in the blue round tin pot as a hand cream!
I have not included all my handcreams into this post as some of them will be Christmas presents, some will be talked about in seperate posts and some I have already posted about and I included them in the honourable mentions, as I already commented on them on this blog and didn't want to repeat myself too much! Just wanted to show you the bunch that rotates my desk and hand bag frequently!
I hope this post was helpful to you! If you liked it let me know and I would be very happy if you also decided to share this post on your social media! If you have any recommendations for me let me know in the comments! Have you tried any hand creams that impressed you as well?
Thanks for reading!

Razvajanje z novostmi dt - Dvorec Trebnik :)
Pozdravljeni! Zopet novosti pri Dvorec Trebnik! Ja prav ste prebrali, zopet nekaj novega - tokrat predstavljam in ocenjujem izdelke linije dt! V test sem prejela kar štiri izdelke iz nove kolekcije in sicer - Berry pepper kremo za utrujene noge in stopala, Energy Tonic osvežilno meglico za obraz in telo, Juicy Orange osvežujoči gel za tuširanje ter Sparkle Star svetlikajoče olje za telo in lase.
Nova linija je bila ustvarjena z mislimi na živahne vonje ter urejene in zahtevne uporabnike, ki jim je pomembno kaj nanašajo na kožo in lase. Sledili so sodobnim kozmetičnim trendom in izločili zdravju škodljive surovine. Vsi izdelki se ponašajo z naslednjimi lastnostmi - so brez parabenov, brez mineralnih olj, brez sintetičnih barvil in brez silikonov, brez gensko spremenjenih organizmov, vsebujejo sestavine naravnega izvora in so bogati z rastlinskimi izvlečki in naravnimi olji.
Prvi izdelek, ki sem ga poskusila je bila krema Berry pepper krema za utrujene noge in stopala. Gre za vlažilno dnevno kremo za noge, ki je obogatena z naravnimi sestavinami, ki intenzivno mehčajo in obnavljajo kožo ter zagotavljajo žametno mehkobo. Olje grozdnih pečk, ekstrakt bršljana in virginijskega nepozebnika vlažijo, ščitijo in spodbujajo mikrocirkulacijo kože. Eterično olje grenivke deluje antibakterijsko in osveži kožo. Izdelek je pakiran v okroglo posodico z pokrovčkom na navoj, celotna embalaža je iz malce trše, močnejše plastike. Meni se to zdi super, ker mi je krema že padla po tleh in se na embalaži sploh ne pozna. Vsebuje 50 ml izdelka, cena pa je 3,99 evra. Tekstura kreme me spominja malce na žele, vendar je krema lahka, se lepo in hitro vpija, ne pušča mastnih sledi. Poleg tega še božansko diši! Ampak resno! Vonj je popoln, svež, saden, spominja še najbolj na grenivko ampak zvečer na utrujene noge tak vonj še najbolj paše! Poraba kreme je sicer odvisna od pogostosti nanosa ter kje vse jo boste nanašali, sama sem kremo nanesla samo na stopala, občasno pa tudi pod kolena, na krčne žile, ker se mi je zdelo, da mi krema zelo lepo pomiri žgoč občutek pod nogami. Sicer ne vedno, ampak mi je pomagala! Imam kar precej težav s krčnimi žilami in bolečinami pod koleni, tako da sem vedno na lovu za kremo, ki bi pomagala olajšati skelečo bolečino. Imela sem tudi tester kostanjeve kreme, tudi od Dvorec Trebnik, in mi je bila super! Kremo sem uporabljala ob večerih, nanesla na sveže umita stopala, tanko plast ter povrhu dala nogavice za spanje, ter pustila, da se je krema lepo vpila. Moja stopala so zadnja leta precej bolj suha in predvsem pete mi povzročajo težave, ta krema pa je opazno pomagala in kožo bolj navlažila! Zjutraj sem se vedno zbudila s popolnoma mehkimi stopali, koža pa je ob redni uporabi nasploh postala bolj mehka, voljna in manj razpokana. Glede na res minimalno porabo, bi z res popolnoma redno uporabo, res čisto vsak večer lonček porabila v približno dveh mesecih. No razen če ste navajeni nanašati kremo po celih stopalih, potem se vam zna zgoditi, da bi kremo porabili malce hitreje. Če imate res zelo hude težave z razpokano kožo na stopalih pa raje priporočam obisk dermatologa in uporabo še bolj sestavinsko enostavnih izdelkov - recimo arganovo olje ali karitejevo maslo. Osebno nimam tako drastičnih težav in mi je krema res lepo negovala stopala, z njo sem zelo zadovoljna!
Še sestavine: Aqua, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Sorbitan Oleate, Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Polyquaternium-37, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Lauryl Glucoside, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Benzyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tocopherol, Ethoxydiglycol, Propylene Glycol, Hedera Helix Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Lactic Acid, Glucose, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Coco-Caprylate, Parfum, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract, Citrus Grandis Peel Oil, Benzyl Salicylate, Limonene, Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional.
Drugi izdelek, ki sem ga poskusila in me je navdušil od prve uporabe naprej je bil Sparkle Star svetlikajoče olje za telo in lase. Olje za lase in telo vsebuje kombinacijo petih hranljivih olj, ki naredijo lase in kožo svileno mehko in zapeljivo sijočo. Vsebuje mešanico mandljevega, oljčnega, jojobinega, olja grozdnih pešk ter organskega arganovega olja. Izdelek je pakiran v plastenko z sistem za pršenje ter plastičnim prozornim pokrovčkom. Ker gre za bolj tekoče olje, nima klasične gostote, se ga zelo enostavno dozira ven in se ne maši zaradi dodanih bleščic. Plastenka vsebuje 150 ml izdelka, cena pa je 6,99 evra. Olje me je kot sem že omenila, navdušilo v prvo! Prepriča me tako lahka, tekoče tekstura, ki se zelo hitro vpije in ne pušča mastnih sledi kot tudi sam vonj izdelka! Res super lepo diši! Ker se ga dozira kot sprej, se ga ne porabi veliko za posamezen nanos. Večinoma sem ga nanašala na noge ter roke. Malce ga posprejam, potem pa razmažem z roko po koži. Vsebuje zlate bleščice, ki pa so res nežne in zelo drobne, tako da se jih ne vidi tako zelo. Super deluje na malce zagoreli koži, drugače pa doda nežen topel lesk. Osebno sem ga uporabljala samo na koži po telesu, na laseh ga nisem preizkusila, sem pa pri kolegicah soblogerkah zasledila, da se super obnese tudi na laseh, le da je potrebno biti previden, da ga ne nanesete preveč. Skratka, ne gre za klasično olje za telo ali lase, ampak lepo odišavljeno z drobnimi zlatimi bleščicami, ki kožo ter lase tudi lepo neguje. Koža po uporabi je bila prijetno mehka in navlažena. Najraje ga uporabljam pred spanjem, ker mi vonj super odgovarja in me lepo pomiri. Pa tudi super je za nanos po rokah in dekolteju recimo, če se kam odpravljam zvečer in imam krajše rokave ali večji izrez na majici, doda malce svetlobe, barve, odišavi ter hkrati neguje. Vonj bi še najbolje opisala kot mešanico arganovega ter mandljevega, vonj je res tak malce "parfumast", topel in ampak ni premočan. Res super zadeva!
Še sestavine - Ethylhexyl Stearate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Coco-Caprylate, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Parfum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Potassium Aluminum Silicate, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Citronellol, Coumarin, Geraniol, Citral, Limonene.
Tretji izdelek je Energy tonic osvežilna meglica za obraz in telo. Meglica za obraz in telo vsebuje aloe vero in virginijski nepozebnik, ki odlično navlažita in pomirjata kožo. Izdelek ima podobno embalažo kot olje, saj je pakiran v plastenko z sprej dozirnim sistemom, lahko pa celotno glavo spreja tudi odvijete stran, če želite. Plastenka vsebuje 150 ml izdelka, cena pa je 6,99 evra. Pumpica pri meni dozira normalno, dovolj nežno, čeprav pogosto kar odvijem in si izdelek natočim na vatirano blazinico ter ga uporabim kot običajni tonik za obraz. Nekateri uporabniki so komentirali, da jim je sprej premočan in da dozira preveč izdelka naenkrat, spet drugi, da lepo razprši izdelek in je super za doziranje.Ima prijeten, zelo svež vonj! Osebno se mi izdelek zdi bolj primeren za tople poletne dni, ampak najdem uporabo za njega tudi sedaj. Priznam, da težko ocenim njegovo ustreznost moji koži, še posebej, ko govorim o koži obraza. Po telesu me izdelek lepo osveži, rahlo odišavi in mi nasploh ustreza. Po obrazu pa mi včasih čisto ustreza, ni nobenih neprijetnih reakcij, me lepo osveži, včasih pa me zapeče in imam obraz po nanosu te meglice čisto rdeč. Ne vem v čem je problem, na začetku testiranja nisem imela nobenih težav. Trenutno pa ima moj obraz precej problemov z mozolji in sem se odločila, da bom meglico raje uporabljala samo za osvežitev telesa. Morda je kožo obraza zmotila vsebnost alkohola, morda pa je čisto kaj drugega. Izdelek mi je všeč tudi, ker ne pušča nobenega filma na koži, ni lepljiv. Zanimiv izdelek, popoln za vse, ki imate razne osvežilne meglice za telo in obraz :)
Sestavine - Aqua, Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Parfum, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract, Coceth-7, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Mentha Piperita Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Citral, Limonene, Linalool.
Ter še četrti, zadnji izdelek, ki sem ga poskusila - Juicy Orange osvežujoči gel za tuširanje z vonjem sočnih pomaranč. Negovalni gel za tuširanje s sadnim vonjem pomaranče kožo nežno očisti in jo prijetno nadišavi. Obogaten je z eteričnim oljem pomaranče, ki kožo pomirja in jo neguje. Izdelek je primeren za vse vrste kože, pakiran je v plastično embalažo, ki vsebuje 200 ml izdelka, cena pa je 2,99 evra. Če ste spremljali moj blog v zadnjih dneh, ste tale gel za tuširanje že lahko zasledili med mojimi zadnjimi praznimi izdelki - Empties #11 :) Gel za tuširanje ima res super svež vonj, čisto po pomarančah in brez grenkega pridiha, ki ga ima lahko lupina pomaranče včasih. Izdelek je rahlo obarvan, ravno prav gost, vendar ne gre za kremen gel, bolj za klasičen gel za tuširanje. Kožo res lepo nežno očisti, je ne draži in ne izsušuje. Malce jo tudi odišavi, vendar ne preveč. Je res tak nežen, nevsiljiv vonj. Všeč mi je, da lahko embalažo zvrha odvijem, ker je očitno ostalo še malce tuš gela notri. Sama plastenka je precej trda in težka, ampak se mi je zdelo, da je malce preveč težka in ko sem odvila pokrovček sem videla, da se notri skriva še malo gela. V bistvu je cela kopalnica lepo dišala po pomarančah po uporabi tega tuš gel in tudi moj fant je pohvalil, da lepo dišim! Tako da punce, priporočam ;)
Sestavine - Aqua, Sodium Coco-Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Sodium Chloride, Glyceryl Oleate, Lauryl Glucoside, Stearyl Citrate, Parfum, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citral.
Ste že zasledili novo dt kolekcijo? Ste kaj preizkusili? Sama sem malce pobrskala po njihovi spletni strani in bi z veseljem poskusila še bogato karitejevo kremo ter maslo za telo karite, oboje se mi sliši popolno za zimske dni, gel za tuširanje vrtnico, če je soditi po gelu s pomarančo, mi bo vrtnica gotovo všeč ter kopalno sol meta. Trenutno pa že uživam še v treh izdelkih iz kolekcije, o katerih boste lahko brali na blogu v tem ter prihodnjem mesecu - kremni gel za roke aloja, balzam za ustnice z jagodo ter balzam za ustnice z medom :) Tokrat niso pozabili niti na fante - za njih so pripravili Energy shock 2v1 gel za tuširanje za moške :)

Empties #11 :)
Hello! Have you missed my empty products posts? Haven't posted in a while, my last empties post was at the beginning of August, so here's about three months of empties. I did try to use up a lot of different products, so here's the bunch!
From Dvorec Trebnik I have used up three products! About Sea-buckthorn collection I have already posted on my blog, I actually did two separate posts and you can read them here (sorry, only in Slovene) - Dvorec Trebnik part 1 and part 2. I will try not to repeat myself, so I am just gonna say, this collection is pretty amazing and if you have a chance to try something really go for it! I gave some of the products to my mum, as she really likes their products and wanted to tyr this line as well. So you won't be seeing shower oil, massage oil and hand gel in my empties as I gave them to her and she also seemed to be really loving these! I have yet to finish the body milk from the collection but I admit I am saving it up a bit. The third product I have not posted about yet, but I promise you it will be properly reviewed this month! It's a new shower gel called Juicy orange from their new collection dt. I really loved the fresh scent of this shower gel, it didn't dry up my skin and it also made my whole bathroom smell juicy! More in the upcoming review of dt products!
A bunch of Balea shower gels! I have used up Balea Dusch-Bodymilk Vanille as base for shaving my legs, not so much as a shower lotion, as I felt it was too greasy on my skin and didn't leave me with a fresh feeling. I like to feel my skin completely fresh and without any greasy residue after shower and I felt like this left some traces of the product on my skin. I know it's supposed to as it's supposed to nourish your skin while you shower, buy I guess my skin is not dry enough to need so much nourishment. Anyway, this works great for me as a shaving cream and I will probably be repurchasing. The other three shower gels didn't impress me much. They are just standard Balea shower gels that have a nice scent and do their job. I liked the least After Sun Dusche, so I ended up using it as a hand wash. I did however like the scents of Hibiskus&Nektarine as it was really juicy and fresh and also the scent of Vanille&Cocos as it was more milky, sweet and more on the vanilla side than coconut, still Loved to use it up! I don't think I will be repurchasing though, I liked them, but just not that much.
And some more shower gels! Yes, I use them up quite fast and I do use a lot of them, but considering I have more than one shower gel open at once I can finish a couple more in almost three months time, especially as some were open and waiting to be used up for a long time. One of my favourite shower gels of all time was this shower foam from Adria Spa and it smelled divine! It's perfect for all lavander lovers! I have posted a full review for this one here :) From Palmolive I had one of their latest arrivals - So Vibrant Pearly shower gel with essential oil (ginger and hibiscus). Loved the fresh scent, felt good on ym skin and in general I have been really satisfied with this one, so I might think about repurchasing it! From Nivea I have finished two products, one is shower gel Frangipani&Oil and the other is Creme Peeling. Loved both products, the scents of these two were amazing and I would repurchase both! Especially the Creme Peeling as it's really creamy, has some fine peeling parts in it, is very gentle and effective at the same time and makse my skin really soft and leavse some gentle scent!
Finished up another Nivea product, an Nivea Soft moisturizing universal cream I actually used as a hand cream. Really loved the gentle scent and it is already on my list for repurchase! The other product is by L'Occitane and it's from the Jasmin & Bergamote collection and I really loved this body milk! I would repurchase full size any time, if I could. My stash of body lotions is simply too big. It's got a very light texture, sinks into the skin fast and really does the job as it should, I loved it! I have also posted a full review for this product and you can read it here :)
Nivea has become one of my favourite brands, by the looks of this empties post :P I did really love this 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water. It worked so much better than any other I have had so far! I have never posted about it on my blog, but from all the micellar waters I have tried this one is by far my favourite. It's gentle and very effective, one swipe really removes almost everything (only a face brush does it better), never needed much of the product to remove a full face of makeup. Also my skin never had any bad reactions to it, it always worked really well for me. Also it's not too expensive and I will be repurchasing very soon! The second product I have used up is by Noemie Cosmetics and it's Purifying Toning Lotion. I really loved that it was so gentle to my skin! I am thinking of repurchasing it, as it has grown on me and my skin liked this one a lot. I have posted about this toner here :)
And a mix of empties, two of the products have been ampy since mid August, but I have not posted my empties until now. I have been using Garnier Ambre Solaire Ideal Bronze spf 30 and Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive advanced spf 50 during my summer holidays. I must say I did like the Ideal bronze lotion, it provided me with a lovely colour and protection. But I disliked the face cream as it caused me a brekout. Still it provided me with enough protection and didn't feel greasy. Next year though I will only repurchase Ideal bronze lotion. Also used up another deodorant, this time by Dove, it's their go fresh anti-perspirant and it the scent was perfect for summer, but I used it up quickly as I needed to reapply a lot. Now I am using Borotalco and I have been using one deodoarnt for over two months now! I am so impressed by it, only need to apply it once a day, it does it's job amazingly well! And the last empty here is a standard repurchase for me, I have been repurchasing this one like for ever, since it has been released when I was still in highschool! Basically, almost for 10 years! Veet In shower Hair Removal Cream is one fo the products I seem to repurchase every time as they have simply not come up with anything better and more effective to use under shower.
Some products for face I have finished include Garnier Hautklar Wasabi Clean peeling, AlpStories Cleansing Gel Sage & Mint and Inell Lait Demaquillant makeup remover. I had this Garnier peeling for some months and it did the job well, also loved the freshness of it! Would repurchase but already have a stash of products at home. Anyway, for anyone who likes products with a fresh scent and feel on the skin after use, this might be good for you! The particles are not too small or too big and just the right density, this was gentle enough and also did the job well at the same time. I have a whole post for the AlpStories cleansing gel and I must admit this has become one of my favourite cleansing gels of all time! You can read the full review here :) If you have a chance to try it out I really recommend it! Also used up another bottle of makeup remover from Inell, I think I will keep repurchasing this one as well, as it's really affordable and does the job well!
Have finished some of the lip balms as well! I had this one by Maybelline Baby lips Peach Kiss for a long time and it didn't really do anything for my lips, so I will not be repurchasing. It did add a bit of colour but the colour liked to crease on my lips and stick to my dry patches. Anyway, not something I liked or want to repurchase. The second lip balm is by Lip Smacker and it's Kiwi. I liked this one, it was fresh, and sweet and fruity. Did perform well on my lips, but is not very good at nourishing. My lips need some more care than this, so I won't be repurchasing. Maybe in summer time, but not right now. The third lip balm I used up is by Oriflame and it's theirs The ONE BB lip balm and I loved this one! The packaging, the scent, the texture, the light colour and shimmer this gives. It's also good at nourishing your lips, personally I really liked this one and I would repurchase! Finished one of my powders - finally done with Catrice Colour Correcting Mattifying powder in shade 010 Delicate Blossom. I liked it but it could do better. On my face this just didn't last that long and I was shiny too fast for my liking. I will not be repurchasing, but if you are interested you can read a full review here. The last product I have finished that you can see here is L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC cream in Light, one of my favourite products of this summer, if not the top favourite product! Really recommend you this one and love almost everything about it - you can read full review here! Repurchase - totally yes, but maybe next summer, as it's a very light product with light coverage.
Some empty Caudalie and DermEden testers. I will not talk much about these as I will post a short review of my impressions soon. From Caudalie I have tried and loved Instant Detox mask, really effective, has a nice scent and I would love to try a full sized product. Also loved the Divine Oil, smells as the name suggests - divine! Also impressed by Divine legs tinted body balm, have never tried something like this before - gives quite a strong colour! Maybe I will buy it for next spring/summer season :) From DermEden I have tried D-day Protocole daily defense universal cream and Night protocole Intense anti-aging face cream. Both products were very promising, but will tell you more in a separate post!
And some late arrivals - products I have just finished up or I have forgtotten to take a picture! I have here two shower packs by WorldNaturelle, full review here :) I loved both of these and I really recommend you to try them sometime! Also finished up some testers of a new foundation - Deborah Milano Dress Me Perfect 01 Fair. Loved the texture, application, coverage is quite strong, shade suits me really well, staying power is good! More or less I am very impressed by this foundation, but I will not be purchasing it just yet as I would like to wait and use up all the new foundations I have bought in September. Another tester I have used up is by Bottega Verde, it's their Riso Venere hydrating face cream with Venere black Rice extract and Rice bran oil. Loved the scent and texture of this cream even though it's not really meant for my skin type. Felt very luxurious, but I have no idea how it would have turned out on the long run. Another toner I have just used up is by Natura Siberica Cleansing tonic, it's actually a repurchase, my second bottle. Loved that it's so gentle, but I want to try something new now, so I won't be repurchasing just yet. And last two products I have used up are both one of my all time favourites - Caudalie Hand and Nail cream, you can find full review here, and L'Occitane Cleansing oil - full review here :) Loved both products and would love to repurchase as soon as possible! Also I think both of these are pretty amazing to give as Christmas gifts!
So these were my empties! Have you tried any of these products? How did they work for you? :)
Hope this post was useful to you! If you liked it you can share it too!
