FEBRUARY FAVOURITES!



Hello! It's the end of March, so perfect timing for some February favourites! I am super late as usual! There were a couple of products that I really liked using in the previous month and I am kind of thinking that I won't be making March favourites at all, as I keep using the same products all the time. So let's see what impressed me the most in the previous month!

OCTOBER FAVOURITES!


Hello everyone! Time to talk monthly favourites! As I was running late with my September ones I have thought it best to keep some space in between before posting October ones as well. I have a bunch of products here that I really liked and I have used since the day they entered my home! I think I found a couple of all autumn/winter season favourites as well!

Hello! Time really flies when you are having fun and this summer I really enjoyed myself a lot. Therefore I feel like I haven't even done much yet and we are already closing in to an end of August!

Lancôme bloggers brunch!


Hello! Let's talk about one very special beauty blogger brunch with Lancôme! What a lovely event it was! I was soo happy when I received the invite! The event was hosted by Lancôme Croatia as they also import for Slovenia and by two very lovely ladies - Ivana and Koraljka. The magic day was 5th May and the brunch happened at Slaščičarna Lolita! There was a small group of beauty bloggers but I think we had quite a blast! 


The lovely ladies presented us with the Juicy Shakers and what these actually are, going back to the original Juicy tube gloss, that was the first gloss ever made to the much later made mix called Juicy Shaker! If the product is still for a longer time you can see it part in two phases, the oil and the pigement. Therefore you need to give it a good shake before use and it helps also if you hold it upside down for a bit, so you soak the applicator better. Loved the presentation of these as it felt more like a chat with girls than the usual PR presentation. Plus we talked also about a couple of the new products that are yet to come in our stores - Energie De Vie The Smoothing & Glow boosting liquid care and also the new eyeliner coming out this summer Grandiôse Liner!









The lovely ladies who invited us all to party with Juicy Shakers :P

My first impression of the Jucy Shaker could be best described as - WOW! The applicator is soo amazingly soft and the application is nothing I have ever tried before! I have one in hade Meli Melon, which is sort of the most popular one as it's the right mix of pink-ish shade that suits different skin tones. Each Juicy Shaker is scented differently and mine has an amazing light and fruity smell! Love it! The packaging is to die for, nothing more needed to say! There will be a full blog post about it on my blog! The amazing thing is that this is not a gloss product or a stain product, at leats not the classical one, we are used to. This is pigment infused bi-phased lip oil, but it doesn't feel like an oil at all, as the formula is soo lightweight! Well, I am not telling you everything just yet, come visit me again when the full review will be on! 

For more info on the Juicy Shakers read here!

I had a very lovely time, ate some delicious snacks and had a really good coffee! It was nice to see the beauty bloggers again as well as meet the presenters! Loved to chat with them and I hope we will meet soon again! It was a lovely fun event and I feel very honored I had been invited! 

Thanks for reading!

The limited edition has already been spotted in our drugstores  (Slovenia) such as Muller, I was checking DM stores as well, but haven't seen this one yet. I like the design of these products very much, the oriental vibe and the colour selection is amazing and it immediately became one of my most wanted products, top on the wishlist!

Vsakodnevno ličenje z Farmasi :)


Lepo pozdravljeni! O znamki Farmasi sem že govorila pred časom, ko sem pisala o njihovem odličnem ajurvedskem rožmarinovem olju - Farmasi Tantric Massage Oil! Res odlično olje, ki sem ga z veseljem testirala! Tokrat pa vam predstavljam dva izdelka, ki sta idealna za vsakodnevno ličenje - Farmasi Glamour Shine rdečilo za ustnice ter Farmasi Silky Touch kompaktni puder. Izdelka sem prejela že pred časom, tako da lahko potrdim, da moje navdušenje ni samo prvi pozitivni vtis, ampak gre za dva izdelka, ki sem ju res dobro stestirala!

Ledene, zimske ustnice - AVON LUXE Couture Creme lip gloss Dainty Pink :)


Pozdravljeni! Ker je december in komaj čakam, da postane res mrzlo ter da zapade vsaj nekaj snega, sem tudi v lepotnem smislu čisto zimsko navdahnjena! Danes imam za vas oceno lip glosa, ki mi deluje idealen za kakšen "winter princess look" ali kaj podobnega! Že nekaj časa pridno testiram in z veseljem nosim Avon LUXE Couture Creme lip gloss  v odtenku  Dainty Pink, ki mi je zelo prirasel k srcu!

Priznam, da mi odtenek lip glosa sprva sploh ni bil všeč, sploh ker LUXE linija skriva še lepše, in sem se spraševala kako ga bom porabila. Ker pa je zdaj tako zimsko razpoloženje in je zima res že čisto tu, manjka samo še sneg, sem tudi sama podlegla bolj nežnemu, zimskemu makeup-u. V liniji LUXE najdete skupno deset različnih odtenkov glosov, odtenek Dainty Pink pa je najsvetlejši. Izdelek je pakiran v plastično tubo, ki pa ni klasično okrogla ampak je malce drugačna - ena ploskev je čisto ravna, druga pa ovalna. Podobnemu zgledu sledi celotna linija LUXE. Zaključen izgled daje zlat pokrovček ter zlat napis! Cena variira glede na kataloško obdobje, polna cena izdelka je 10,90 evra, trenutno pa je znižana na 5,90 evra. Osebno mi je zelo všeč, da je embalaža iz malce trše plastike, saj mi tako glos še ni počil.

Odtenek Dainty Pink je zelo svetel in nežen, vendar vsebuje večje bleščičaste delce, ki so vidni tudi na slikah spodaj - torej so vidni tudi na ustnicah! V sami tubi odtenek izgleda svetlo roza s hladnim podtonom ter srebrnimi bleščicami, odtenek deluje malce holografski. Na ustnicah izgleda zelo nežno, svetlo, ne da veliko barve ampak v kombinaciji z bleščicami ustnicam podari zelo svetleč, nežno roza izgled! Odtenek je kot nalašč za vse zimske zabave, ne le za božične ter novoletne! Osebno mi odtenek deluje bolj hladen ter zelo svetleč, ampak me v mesecu decembru svetleče stvari veliko bolj privlačijo kot sicer. Zadnje mesece sem bila na sploh zelo velika ljubiteljica glosov, kar ste lahko sklepali tudi po ostalih objavah na blogu in tudi tale glos me je zelo navdušil. Moja prva asociacija na  glos je ledena zimska vila! Aplikator je klasična blazinica, nekako povprečne velikosti, ki omogoča enostaven in natančen nanos. Tekstura tega glosa je malce neobičajna za glos - je veliko bolj gosta in se to vidi že takoj, ko odprete glos in pogledate kako se glos na aplikatorju kar drži skupaj! Gre za veliko bolj gosto, kompaktno teksturo, ki pa jo je enostavno nanesti na ustnice in se lepo razporedi po ustnicah. Sama navadno nanesem nekje dve plasti in s tem nimam težav, glos se ne svaljka, ne lepi skupaj, ampak se ga da lepo slojiti. Za več slojev si ne upam trditi, ampak nekje dva sloja do morda tri ni težav! Kar je seveda glede na odtenek, bleščice ter teksturo zelo pomembno! Glos nima vonja, tako da bo primeren tudi za tiste, ki ne marate parfumiranih izdelkov. Glos ni lepljiv in ustnic ne obteži, občutek na ustnicah je lahkoten in pa zelo mazljiv. Vem, da to nekako nima smisla, ampak me spominja malce na kak balzam, "vazelin", ker mi ustnice odlično prekrije in zaščiti in zimski mraz sploh ne pride do njih. Tale glos mi ustnice bolje prekrije kot ostali moji balzami, razen, če so le ti goste teksture, kot je recimo Nuxe Reve de miel, ki mi tudi na podoben "voskast" način zaščiti ustnice!






Skratka, Dainty Pink je in bo ostal moj redni spremljevalec, odličen je tudi zato, ker za nanos in popravke ni potrebe po ogledalu, poleg tega pa mi ustnice lepo navlaži in zaščiti pred mrazom.
Ste že poskusili Avon LUXE glose? Mi morda kak odtenek priporočate? Sama si želim poskusiti še odtenka Alluring Bronze ter Steamy Plum, v katalogu vedno delujeta tako mikavno! 

Upam, da vam je bila ocena v pomoč! V kolikor vam je objava všeč bom zelo vesela, če jo boste delili na svojih socialnih omrežjih!

Hvala za pozornost!


Love, UniqaPoly

Winter time: Essence Winter? Wonderful! LE :)


Hello! This year Essence prepared the perfect winter makeup collection! I love collections that are not just Christmas/holidays related with golds and reds, but more winter related, products that are more versatile for every makeup user, not just makeup junkies like beauty bloggers! The limited edition I will b talking about today is called Winter? Wonderful! and I have three products to present from it - a hand cream, a blush and an oil lip tint!



Let's talk about handream first! The name of this one is 01 You Melt my Heart. I was lucky to catch the last one on an almost raided limited edition stand at my local Muller store. The price for this one was 2,19 euros, which is the usual Essence price. I really love the design of this hand cream, the packaging is sooo beautiful! The little snowflakes on the packaging make all the difference, otherwise I might not buy this one at all. The packaging is otherwise a clasic plastic tube that contains 100 ml of product and once open lasts for another 12 months. The moisturizing hand balm melts in to your hands for an immediate feeling of comfort. The innovative formula contains milk protein and cotton extract and will leave your cuticles and skin smoothed. I really love the scent as well! The texture is very light and sinks into the skin really fast! 


The second product I will be talking about is the blush - 01 Winter Kissed Cheeks!  It comes in a classic transparent case, the usual packaging for their blushes and contains 4,5 grams. The design of the blush goes with the rest of the limited edition - the amazing snowflake design and the colour choise is pretty amazing, looks so lovely! The three colour combined look so natural, though the pink shae is dominant. The combination includes the big pink snowflake, the smaller peach snowflakes and the background is in a light beige/browny shade with golden shine to it. It does contain very small shimmer but it's not visible on my face, it looks more like a matte blush on me. I like that the pigmentation is good, but not too strong, as I can layer some more if I want but at the same time don't go overboard with my first application. If I apply it very gently, it looks so natural like I have nothing on, but I can easily build it up. If I apply it just one thin layer it looks more like my cheeks are a bit pink from the outside cold! Looks very natural and very flattering! The price for this one is 3,29 euros.




And the last product is tint&oil for lips in shade 01 If Kisses Were Snowflakes... It comes in a silvery, sleek packaging taht contains 6,5 ml of product and is good for another 12 months once open. This packaging doesn't have any snowflakes on it, unfortunately, no extra decor. It looks like a lip gloss and also has a small doe foot applicator. The scent of this is very sweet, but I am noticing a lot of lip products by Essence have sweet scents. The texture of this lip oil is actually quite thick and covers my lips very well. It protects them well against cold outside and creates a shiny barrier between them and cold air. It is actually nourishing, like lip balms, actually helps me keep my lips smooth and in good condition. This gives me a very light pink stain, but applied multiplue times in lets say three hours will give my lips a very strong pink look. Otherwise this really gives just a hint of colour, which stays on my lips and gives them a gentle stain. What I like the most is the non sticky and lightweight formula! The price for this one is 3,29 euros.

Currently loving - Bourjois Sweet Kiss lip glosses :)



Hello! Ready to sit down, grab a cup of tea and read about these lovely lipglosses? I have had these Bourjois lipglosses for a couple of months now and I must say they impressed me and I love to wear both shades! These came out this summer and they are called Sweet Kiss, but they are really similar to the old version of their lipglosses, that they still offer, Effet 3D 8 hours Gloss. 

Finding a perfect lipgloss is very hard, especially if you really dislike the sticky feeling and you need something with a very good formula. I find these Sweet Kiss glosses by Bourjois perfect! I bought two shades in September at my local DM store when they were "buy one get one for free" and I have been wearing them almost every second day since than! And that's saying something, coming from a lip product obsessed gal!


Packaging, price - The packaging is very similar to already mentioned 3D glosses, plastic, transparent, with a matching shade on top, so you can see straight away which shade you are holding. There are six shades available in total. They have a brush applicator just like the old 3D versions. The brush applicator is small but enables you to apply very precisely. These contain 5,7 ml and they cost about 11 - 12 euros, depends where you buy them.

Texture, application, scent, taste, longevity - Formula of these is very lightweight and I love it! It's also non sticky and feels very gentle, almost watery. It's also very hydrating, thanks to plant oil. If you don't layer well, these glosses can sometimes look a bit patchy, but on me this happened very rarely, especially if I had any dry patches on my lips. They are slightly sweet scented, kinda goes with the name as well. They have a bit of taste, but to me it's a bitter one and I don't like it. Some desribed the taste as sweet but to me this is somewhat bitter. I find these two last on me for about 2 to 3 hours, no more, as I tend to eat and drink all the time and munch on stuff and these glosses do not survive that. They also don't leave a stain behind and when they dry up they tend to dissappear evenly, so the lips still look ok. The feeling of hydrated lips lasts longer than the actual full on lip gloss, I feel my lips really love this texture and are more hydrated for about  4-5 hours, which is pretty decent, even though these promise to hydrate for 10 hours.

Shade, pigmentation, finish - I have two shades, a light one 01 Rose qui peut  and shade 04 Incogni - Rose. The first one is very light, pale milky rosy-nude shade, which I don't wear that often. But the other one is a true gem! I love it! It's a more pigmented dusty warm rose shade, that looks so natural and so sophisticated on me that I just can't stop wearing it. The pigmentation is good for a lipgloss, it settles evenly after application, but it's not very strong, so we are not talking about liquid lipstick effect but more of a classic lipgloss effect. The finished look is shiny, almost could say mirrored finish. Still it's not too much, it looks very well combined with a strong eye look! They don't contain any shimmer or glitter. I also feel like the shade 04 Incogni - Rose has a bit better pigmentation, just glides on so well, no need to use a mirror!




02 Rose Qui Peut
04 Incogni-Rose
Have you tried any of these? I am tempted to try another shade Sand - Sation! I am very pleased with these two, they were one of my favourite lip glosses and still are to wear this autumn/winter season, alongside Oriflame's The ONE 5 in 1 glosses, you can read about here

Hope this post was helpful to you! If you liked it, I would be very happy if you also decided to share it on your social media!

Review: Essence - Liquid lipstick in 06 Make a statement


Hello! Just a quick stop before I go all Christmas-y and such... Every brand seems to be offering liquid lipsticks lately  and Essence released five shades this Autumn. These promise to be a 2 in 1, give you the coverage of a lipstick and a shine of a lip gloss. The packaging reminds me a lot of Dior Fluid Stick, with a  lipstick bullet shape within the centre. This Essence Make A Statement liquid lipstick has waited for so long to be talked about! Really, I tried to post about it sooner but oh well, here we are! Have you already tried these lipsticks?


Packaging, price - The packaging is clear plastic, sturdy and won't break even if it falls. This is actually very good for me, I tend to drop stuff on a regular basis. It contains  4 ml of product and once opened lasts for another 18 months. The applicator is classic, doe-foot, it's maybe a bit more narrow than usually, but that just helps you get a more precise application. Price is about three euros, I think.

Texture, application, scent, longevity -  This has a nice formula, it's not sticky, but it is a bit heavy on my lips. It doesn't crease or stick to my dry patches which I like a lot! Application is easy, applies more like a gloss and is very opaque, one layer of this could be enough. It's got a slight scent, sweet one and also tastes a bit sweet. Doesn't bother me thou. It's not  a long lasting product and on me this lasted for about an hour or maybe two, but it doesn't survive eating or drinking. However it wore off evenly,  faded well and didn't leave any patches or such. If you don't mind reapplying this regularly, than you should give it a go!

Shade, pigmentation, finish - The shade variety is actually pretty limited, so I chose the darkest shade as this one was the only one I really liked, it's called 06 Make A Statement. It's a red(ish) - brown  shade. I find the shade perfect for warmer skin tones. Pigmentation is really good, I am impressed that I only need one layer to get the full shade and even at that! The finish is glossy, shiny. Some may describe these as more of a pigmented lip gloss than a liquid lipstick and I would agree with them. The shade does leave a stain on your lips after wear, so even when you eat and such and it wears off, you still have a bit of shade on you. The swatches are a bit lighter than the actual shade, but still I must say the shade on me looks this light and not at all the dark berry redish brown shade it looks in the packaging. Anyway, it's the darkest shade available from the bunch.



I hope this post was helpful to you! If you liked it, I would be very happy if you also shared it!
