Review: Catrice Blush Box Glowing + Multicolour - 020 It's wine o'clock
5 Aug 2019
Continuing with Catrice new launches, here is another new at their stand, their Blush Box Glowing + Multicolour glowing powder blush. I have to say I haven't had many of Catrice blushes before, but they seem to be a favorite and it's because of great formula. This one is no exception.
Review: Essence LE Glow...Baked Metallic Highlighter (02)
13 Mar 2018
I've done it again. Bought yet another highlighter. But to be fair, for the price, this has to be one of the best I've tried. Essence came out with new Limited Edition called simply Glow... It's a whole collection filled with products that will add glow to your face. Glowing powders, highlighters, palettes, liquid highlighters, fixing sprays and such. I chose one of their metallic highlighters, because it looked so metallic and glowy.
Review: Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls - Radiant Glow
11 Jul 2017
It has been really hot month in Slovenia and I've been looking for products that are easier to use, since I don't always feel like I want a ton of makeup products on my face. What's the point, it's all going to melt down sooner or later. So if you're someone that likes product that can do a few things in one, you'll definitely want to read a review of these Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls in Radiant Glow.
Bronzing pearls come in a brown plastic pot with gold writing. You actually get a sponge on top of the pearls, so that they don't crush into each other and damage. It's also good to keep it for travelling.
In it is 22 grams of product and the regular price is 13.70€. Don't be alarmed, they often have these 50% off and more, so just wait for a good offer.
Pearls in the shade Radiant Glow have three different colors. Pink, light peach and mauve bronze. They all have small silver shimmer in it which gives it a nice sheen to the skin, but doesn't actually look too shimmery.
Pearls have a sweet flowery scent to them and it's a lovely surprise whenever you open them up.
Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls in Pink Bronze is a very light peachy shade with silver shimmer. It's much more shimmery than Radiant Glow. Radiant Glow looks like a perfect combination of a peachy toned bronze shade and a pink. The shimmer in it is more subtle and has a silver pinkish sheen to it. I compared it next to MAC Sheertone Blush in Pinch Me which is a more redish peach shade with no shimmer. H&M Pure Radiance Blusher in Rosy Brown is a dirty brownish pink shade with pink cool sheen. theBalm Hot Mama! is a lot more radiant pink shade with golden sheen to it. I also swatched Wet N Wild Coloricon blush in Apri-Cot In The Middle which is a lighter peachy shade with golden sheen. The base of it looks very similar to Radiant Glow, but it lacks that bit of pinkiness and bronze to it to be the same. If Wet n Wild and MAC Pinch Me had a baby, it would be Radiant Glow with a warm sheen.
The pigmentation is really nice. I usually apply them with a fluffy brush, because you can pick up quite a lot of color with just one swipe.
Formula is not too wet nor too dry to the touch. It applies evenly and gives you a pinkish bronze look with a nice sheen. If you apply it lightly, it gives you a pink toned bronze shade that is suitable for fair skin tones as well as light to medium. If you apply it heavily, it can look a lot pinkier, almost like a blush.
So I apply a light layer where I would usually apply bronzer and then I apply it heavier on the apples of the cheeks to make it more pink. I can almost skip the highlighter with this, because it has such a nice natural sheen. The pinkish tint to it gives it a natural sun burn look. Most people usually have a tint of pink to their skin, if they've been on a sun for too long.
On the photos below you can see my face just with foundation and powder on the right and then with the bronzing pearls on the left. As you can see the bronzing pearls really lift up my complexion and give it more dimension.
It actually looked a lot stronger in person, but my camera just refuses to pick up blush shades.
I also find that the shade lasts on my skin for the whole day. It might fade a bit, as with all products, but it's definitely still there in the evening.
I also have bronzing pearls in the shade Pink Bronze, which I use more as a highlighter when I'm tanned or as a shimmery blush. These have a light peach shade to them with cool silver shimmer through it.
Here you can see Pink Bronze used as a highlighter and Radiant Glow as a bronzer and blush in one.

V Sloveniji je bilo zadnje dni izredno vroče poletje. Zato se zadnje čase bolj osredotočam na izdelke, ki so lažji za uporabo, saj nočem nase dajati tone izdelkov. Niti nima smisla, ker se mi večina raztopi od potenja. Če tudi vi iščete izdelke, ki jih lahko uporabite za več nalog, potem vam priporočam, da nadaljujete z branjem o Avon Glow bronastih kroglicah za obraz.
Bronaste kroglice za obraz se nahajajo v rjavi embalaži z zlatim napisom. Na vrhu kroglic je gobica, ki preprečuje, da bi se kroglice med sabo drgnile in po možnosti poškodovale. Jaz gobico obdržim tudi za potovanja.
V embalaži je 22 gramov izdelka in redna cena je 13.70€. Naj vas to ne zmoti, ker ima Avon kroglice pogosto znižane za 50% ali več. Samo počakajte na ugodno ponudbo.
Kroglice v odtenku Radiant Glow so treh različnih barv. Roza, svetlo marelične in vijolično bronz. Vse imajo majhne srebrne bleščice, ki koži dajo čudovit sijaj, vendar ne izgledajo preveč svetlikajoče.
Kroglice imajo sladkasto cvetličen vonj, ki je čudovito presenečenje vsakič, ko odprete embalažo.
Avon Glow bronaste kroglice za obraz so svetlo breskvastega odtenka s srebnimi bleščicami. So veliko bolj bleščičaste in sijoče kot Radiant Glow. Radiant Glow izgleda kot odlična kombinacija breskvastega bronz odtenka z dodatkom roza. Bleščice so bolj nežne in imajo srebrn sijaj. Primerjala sem jih z MAC Sheertone rdečilom za lica v odtenku Pinch Me, ki je bolj rdečkasto breskvast odtenek brez bleščic. H&M Pure Radiance rdečilo v odtenku Rosy Brown je umazano rjav roza odtenek z hladnim roza sijajem. theBalm Hot Mama! rdečilo je bolj živahnega roza odtenka z zlatim sijajem. Primerjala sem tudi Wet n Wild Coloricon rdečilo v odtenku Apri-Cot In The Middle, ki je svetlo breskvast odtenek z zlatim sijaje. Osnova tega izgleda precej podobna Radint Glow kroglicam, čeprav ni tako roza in bronz. Če bi Wet n Wild in MAC Pinch Me združili, bi dobili najbolj podoben odtenek Radiant Glow kroglicam z zlatim sijajem.
So dobro pigmentirane. Sama jih nanašam z mehkim čopičem, ker lahko z bolj gostim hitro pretirate z nanosom barve. Že z enim potegom dobite dobro pigmentirano barvo.
Formula ni preveč suha, niti preveč mokra. Nanaša se enakomerno in da koži roza bronz izgled z lepim sijajem. Če ga nanesete zelo lahko, boste dobili naraven zagorel ten z dodatkom roza odtenka, ki je primeren za zelo svetlo polt kot tudi srednjo. Roza obarvanost kroglic koži da tisti naraven izgleda zagorelosti. Večina ljudi dobi roza odtenek koža, če se rahlo opeče na soncu.
Na fotografijah lahko vidite moj obraz samo z podlago, korektorjem in pudrom v prahu na levi strani in potem z dodatkom kroglic na desni. Kroglice dodajo moji koži malo barve in dimenzije.
Odtenek se obdrži na obrazu ves dan. Mogoče malo zbledi kot vsi izdelki, ampak še vedno je na obrazu tudi ob koncu dneva.
Imam tudi kroglice za obraz v odtenku Pink Bronze, ki jih uporabljam bolj kot osvetljevalec, ko sem malo zagorela ali pa kot sijoče rdečilo za lica. Te imajo svetlo breskvast odtenek z hladnimi srebrnimi bleščicami.
Na fotografiji sem Pink Bronze uporabila kot osvetljevalec in Radiant Glow kot rdečilo za lica in bronzer.
Všeč mi je enostavnost uporabe kroglic. Zame je to tri v enem izdelek. Bronzasto roza odtenek lahko da obrazu malo definicije (če ga uporabimo kot kontur), toplino (kot bronzer) in roza odtenek na ličkah (ki izgleda kot, da ste preživeli popoldne na soncu in če jih nanesete malo bolj na lička, bo izgledalo rot roza rdečilo na ličkah). Pigmentacija je dobra, nimajo preveč bleščic, nanašajo se lepo, se dobro obdržijo na koži in imajo zanimiv vonj.

My Highlighter Collection
27 Feb 2017
Highlighter is one of my favorite makeup products. I don't even remember when this highlighter craze began, because when I was growing up this wasn't one of the essential makeup products. Now it seems like makeup lovers are competing who will have brighter shine on their cheeks. I personally love the effect that highlighters can give to the skin. In my opinion shine on certain parts of the face makes you look fresh and younger. For a heavier application, it can look very glamorous and because I love everything sparkly, I obviously love the effect of it. If you only apply foundation, concealer and a good creamy highlighter, your skin can look amazing and you don't really need much more. Maybe some mascara and lip gloss.
That is why I decided to share my collection of highlighters. I'm sure I have more than some and that I have less than some. I can't even use all of these up and it's not that I need them, I just enjoy collecting them. A lot of these are Limited Editions and then there are some classics that you can still get.
This is perfect shade for very fair skin tones. It's white based with very light golden sheen to it. It's very creamy product, but once it gets on the skin it turns into a powder. It has tiny shimmer in ti which is visible, but gives your skin beautiful glow that still looks somewhat natural. I use this more in the winter time and when I use very little skin products. It looks perfect paired with a BB cream and nothing else.
This is one of the rare liquid highlighters in my collection. It's also great for fair skin tone, because it has light champagne shade with strong sheen. It has small champagne shimmer as well as some bigger gold shimmer. It's a bit chunkier, but on the skin it looks natural because of the liquid texture. Once it dries on the skin it doesn't move.
It's my most used cream highlighter. Whenever I want quick makeup look that looks natural, I always go for this one. It's so easy to apply and looks natural. It's another fair skin option with light champagne shade. It almost looks like a mix of light gold and pink, so it's fairly neutral. This one has dense shimmer which is very small and gives the skin that beautiful natural sheen. It's a cream product that stays creamy on the skin.
It's my least favorite highlighter, because it's not enough shimmery for my taste. It's suitable for fair skin tones, because it has white pinkish toned base to it. It actually looks like a regular powder with some added tiny shimmer. It also has fairly strong white base, so it's not sheer. For me personally this doesn't do much, so I rarely use it. It would be perfect for those that don't really like highlighters, but want to add the slightest sheen to the skin. It's very hard powder texture, so you have to build it up to get the color payoff.
Yes, it says bronzing pearls on it, but it's actually more a highlighter to me. It has a coral base to it that looks more like a very light blush, but on top of it, it also has white shimmer which gives it that pinkish white sheen. I use this more as a highlighter in the summer, when I'm a bit more tanned. That white sheen looks so much like highlighter that I wouldn't use it as a bronzer. You can also use it as a very light blush with a sheen. It's essentially powder in small pearl shapes. Powder is slightly wet, so it gives a nice color payoff.
It has slightly wet powder consistency. The shade is like a champagne mixed with a bit of pink. It's basically like a darker and pinkier version of Kiko's 100 Gold. It's again one of those that I tend to wear when I have a bit more color on my face. It has tiny shimmer that gives it subtle golden shine, but is very pigmented in general.
When I want something more pinkish, I always use this. It's my favorite pinkish highlighter. It has very light white pinkish base with tiny gold and pink shimmer. This is also great for fair skin tones, because the shade is very light. It also has that lovely sheen that looks gold on one side and pink on the other. It's so finely milled and has bright sheen. Powder has a bit more wet texture to it.
It's the most fun looking texture, because it's a gel that feels kind of jelly like. Once it dries on the skin it doesn't move. It has pinkish champagne base to it, but tiny shimmer in it gives it very golden glow. It has super fine shimmer and looks very natural and sheer on the skin. The sheen is quite strong and because it's very gold, it looks best on warm skin tones.
It's perfect for warm fair skin tones. It has very light base, but it's just slightly golden. The base is still very white, so it's perfect for my skin tone. The shimmer in it is so fine that it gives the skin lovely sheen. It's one of those starting to have a nice glow, but is still subdued highlighters.
Hands down the best highlighter by Essence and definitely one of my all time favorites in general. It looks so similar to theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer's texture, but it's a lot lighter in the shade. It has very light golden sheen that can be build up to almost metallic sheen. It's perfect for light skin tones, because it has such a fair gold shade. Powder has again that wetness to it and it's really pigmented. Shimmer in it is really small, but the sheen is very obvious. It's like a more obvious and more metallic version of the Merry Berry version.
It's my favorite highlighter from my whole collection. This is again perfect for light and fair skin tones with warm undertone. It has very light yellow toned sheen to it, but the base looks more champagne. It's very similar to Essence Metal Glam. Metal Glam has more champagne tone to it and Moonstone has more yellow tone to it. Metal Glam is also just slightly more metallic. Moonstone still has quite bright sheen, but looks just a bit more natural. Shimmer in it is super fine. It's that perfect highlighter for everyday use, when you want it to give it glow, but not be too blinding. Powder also has wet feel to it.
Again one of my favorites. but it's just slightly darker than Moonstone, so it's now more reserved for when I have some color in my face (so more spring and summer). It also has that powder texture that feels wet to the touch. Shade is darker than Moonstone, because it's a bit more peachy golden. I would say that this could also be used on medium skin tones. It has tiny shimmer and gives quite metallic sheen to the skin.
Cream highlighter that is a bit darker than my usual choices. It has pink champagne shade, but has a very cool sheen on the skin. It's very pigmented and blends into skin lovely. It doesn't dry down to a powder finish. It's a bit too pink for my personal preference. It sort of looks natural because of the cream texture, but gives quite strong sheen to the skin.
Powder texture is very dry and almost feels like baked powders. It has strong payoff. The shade is light lavender purple, but the sheen is very cool white. It has tiny shimmer and gives intense sheen to the skin. This is perfect if you want to get rid of dullness on light skin tones.
If you have fair skin tone and want intense glow, than this one is for you. It has wet powder texture that is really pigmented. It's very light white based shade with slight yellow tint to it, but the sheen is very white. Shimmer is super fine. It's definitely gives the most intense glow in my highlighters collection.
It has that same dry baked texture as Hemisphere. Base is peach, but has that same white obvious sheen. Because of the peach base, I usually wear it when I am a bit tanned. It still gives the shin very cool sheen. Shimmer in it is also tiny.
Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter - Golden Lights
It's fairly light shade, but it has very intense yellow golden sheen to it. It's almost a bit too yellow for my taste, because it doesn't look natural on my fair skin tone. I do love to pair it with more bronzed looks and I especially like to use it as an eyeshadow. Shimmer in it is really small and it has intense sheen. Pigmentation is great. Texture is more dry.
If I think Makeup Revolution is a bit too yellow for my taste than this one is almost unwearable to me. It's even more golden and more yellow tinted. This would probably look amazing on medium skin tones, but for me it's too yellow. I do love it as an eyeshadow or for more creative makeup looks. It has very similar texture to Makeup Revolution. The shimmer is also very tiny and has good pigmentation.
I've been seeing this one a lot on Pinterest. Apparently it has become quite popular. It's in fact lovely highlighter. It looks almost like a bronzer in the pan and if you swatch it on the hand, it looks too dark. Once you apply it with a brush, it looks a lot lighter. It gives the skin subtle wearable sheen that has tiny shimmer and it looks like a pinkish champagne shade. It's really interesting shade that would probably work for light as well as medium skin tones. It's more suited for warm skin tones. It's just slightly too dark for me in the winter, but once I am not as pale and dead looking, it works. Powder has slight wetness to it.
This is my favorite darker highlighter for summer time. It has marbled design, so shades depend on which one you take. If it has more white in it, it will be lighter. Mine has more gold in it, so it's darker. If you want something more peachy golden than Essence Pure Nude, than go for this one. It also swatches darker than it looks like on the skin. It's a more peachier base, but with a true gold sheen. This looks stunning on tanned skin. It has enough sheen and glow, but it's not too obvious.
It could almost be shimmery bronzer for me in the winter. I use it only when I'm tanned. It's liquid and has very fine shimmer in it. It blends into the skin lovely and it can be sheered out. It has bronzy base to it, but has very golden sheen to it. I usually mix it with my foundation or just apply it as a subtle sheen on tops of cheeks. It's really pigmented and can be build up to a metallic sheen.
My personal favorites are Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector - Moonstone, theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer and Essence Le Metal Glam Highlighter Powder - 01 Gold Digger. For my tanned complexion I adore Terra Naturi Shimmer Powder Body & Face - 01 Golden Highlight. My favorite cream highlighter for a more natural look is Kiko Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter - 100 Gold.
I love everything shiny and that's probably why I fell in love with highlighters. Even though I'll probably never go through all of these, I still have some that I would love to own in my collection. I might still get some, but some are just out of my budget for now. Especially, because I can't justify buying yet another one seeing how many I already own.

Prepare for Summer with Avon Glow Collection
16 Jun 2016
Hey Beauties!
Summer is almost here and I can't wait. With summer many brands launch summer collections and Avon Glow is one of them. Today's review is fairly long with demonstrations and lots of photos, so you don't get bored. I found some really nice products, so scroll down.
Avon Glow Bronzing Multi Sticks - Glowing Nude and Blushing Coral
These two products got me really curious, because in the summer I kind of like cream products, especially for those really quick makeup looks. Like when you're on holiday and try to look presentable for breakfast, but don't actually want to wear full face of makeup. Bronzing sticks come in a bronzed plastic stick form. This collection has bronzed theme with gold writing.
Sticks have 4 grams of product and regular price is 12.90€. Currently they're on offer for 8.60€. I think this is definitely overpriced considering how much product is in there. Initially I thought these were as big as for example Kiko highlighter.
You can chose among two colors: Glowing Nude and Blushing Coral.
Let's make something clear here, I definitely wouldn't call these both bronzing sticks. Glowing Nude is red based bronzer shade with lots of small silver shimmer. It's actually a very natural looking sun kissed shade. Usually when we catch some sun, we get a bit burned and the skin looks redish and not immediately brown. I think this shade nicely mimics that natural first day tan and it actually looks really flattering.
Blushing Coral is a definite blush for me. The name is completely wrong, since this is a fuchsia pink shade with small amount of tiny silver shimmer. There is so little shimmer that it looks almost matte.
They are cream products in a stick form. Texture is very creamy, I would almost say buttery. It feels slightly greasy and goes on really smooth. It's pretty transparent and it still let's your skin show through. If you're looking for something super pigmented, like cream concealers, this is not it. It's really sheer. You can build it up or sheer it down. It also blends with ease.
It has a dewy shiny finish. This will definitely give you a very natural dewy glow to the skin.
The scent is pretty artificial, but not all that noticeable.
In spite of these products being creams, they actually last a long time on my skin. I would say 8 hours with no fading. If you sweat a lot or have really oily skin, I can't guarantee you that it will stay put for such a long time.
You can see how Glowing Nude gives my pale face some color and dimension. It looks like my skin, just slightly warmer and bronzed. The effect is very subtle and natural.

Blushing Coral I use only as a cream blush. Pink is not my usual blush color, but I actually like how transparent and natural this one looks. It gives instant life to your face, but doesn't look nearly as visible as most powder blushes. Again, really natural looking product.
Obviously, you can use these sticks for multiple parts of the face. I also tried it on my lips. On the photo above you can see how Blushing Coral looks like a natural my lips but better pink flush of color.
Glowing Nude gives a more bronzy mauve type of flush to the lips and it actually looks really nice paired with warm bronzed makeup. This is definitely more my kind of nude shade.
You can also use them on eyes, but for me they are too greasy and wouldn't last on my lids.
I was expecting really pigmented cream products, but it turns out this is for all you natural makeup lovers. Both sticks are creamy, apply with ease (I like to apply them with fingers or a makeup sponge), blend really well and look super natural. They're sheer and just give you a light flush of color. Both products are dewy and give you a nice natural glow. Dry skin lovers would adore this. If you have oily skin, I would stay away, since this can make you skin look even oilier.
Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls - Pink Bronze
I've seen my fellow bloggers gushing over this and I kind of agree with them. They are apparently Avon's best selling product. Pearls come in a bronzed plastic pot. You'll also get a foam protector on top of them to prevent crashing the pearls together.
Regular price of these is 13.70€ and in it is 22 grams of product.
I got the shade Pink Bronze. They also have Bronzed, Deepest Bronze and Face Pearls, which work as a highlighter. I've also seen new shades Radiant Glow, Warm Coral and Bronzed in this campaign, but I am not sure why there's so many of shades.
The name is again off and it's actually light peach shade. They look really light on my swatch, but actually look a bit darker on my skin. There's two colors of pearls. One are shimmery light peach and one are shimmery pastel peach based nude. Mixed together you get a shimmery light peach shade.
With a fluffy brush this applies really light and I almost use it as a three in one product: bronzer, blush and highlighter. Since I am pretty fair and warm toned this works on me as a light bronzer shade. If I apply it heavily, it looks like a warm peachy blush on my cheeks. It also has very small beige shimmer to it, which gives a really nice sheen and can easily replace your highlighter as well, since it's practically mixed with the blush. Shimmer gives a really nice satin sheen finish and doesn't look shimmery or glittery.
These also last on me the whole day, since most of powder product also last on me with no problems.
They have a subtle almost floral scent to them, which is quite pleasant to me.

| Left: BB cream and powder, Right: Bronzing Pearls in Pink Bronze as bronzer and blush |
I much prefer these over Face Pearls (highlighting), since these actually give nice warm peach shade to the face and actually work also as a bronzer on me. Shimmery particles give it nice natural sheen that gives you really pretty glow. This would probably look even better over medium skin tones or when I get some tan.
Avon Glow Kajalsticks - Warm Sand, Silver Pearl, Pacific Blue
I already own a few of Avon eye pencils and love them all. I like them, because most of them are really soft and I hate hard pencils.
These two sided pencils were designed to compliment your tan with colorful side and to add definition with black side. Each pencil has regular black on one side and colorful shade on other side.
They also have the same bronzed design. Caps are transparent. In each is 0.94 grams of product and the regular price is 6.50€. Now they're on offer for 3.50€.
Warm Sand: shimmery peachy nude with matte black
Silver Pearl: shimmery silver with matte black
Pacific Blue: sea blue with matte black
Both sides and all colors are really creamy, but not as much as for example Supershock pencils, which are actually like gels. They glide on with ease and don't tuck your lids.
With one swipe you get a sheerer application, but with two or three swipes you get fully pigmented swatch. Colored sides look almost metallic and blue has visible small silver shimmer. Black is matte.
You need to use brush with black, if you want super precise application, like thinned out wing. They are great for smudging and creating smoky looks.
Only downside is that I seem to sharpen them a lot, since I always want a really precise tip.
They last on my lids whole day. If you have hooded eyes and get greasy, this will transfer on top lid. Just saying, because it happened to me while I was running errands on a hot day.
Warm Sand
This is my absolute favorite combination. I use peachy nude in the inner corners as a highlight and it really brightens them up. You can also use it on the bottom to create that Asian highlighted look. This would look good on pretty much everyone.
Silver Pearl
This metallic silver shade really brings out the eyes. It clashes with my warm tone, but would look absolutely amazing paired with blue eyes.
Pacific Blue
I rarely like blues, but for some reason, I found quite a few blue liners this year that I really like. This is my second favorite shade. It really looks like a sea blue and it gives eyes color and it instantly reminds me of holidays and summer. I think the blue is a mix of cool and warm tone and would look good on both skin tones.
These colors would definitely pop out against tanned skin and they are the easiest way to add some color while your on holiday or sporting that lovely tan at home. Even if you're not tanned, these really are amazing creamy pigmented eye pencils that will look good paired with many different eye looks. I love the formula and the shades. Avon eye pencils are again one of my favorite Avon products. The only negative thing with these is that they will transfer on the upped lid, if you have oily lids.
Avon Glow collection is a nice range of products for that effortless summery makeup look. Bronzing sticks are perfect to take on holidays for natural looking glowy skin, while bronzing pearls will enhance the tan and give you a bit more glowy evening look. Kajalsticks are great for giving some color to your eyes or enhancing that lovely tan. Either way, all of these products can be worn on holiday, at home or if you can't catch a break, in the office.

Poletje je že skoraj tu in jaz komaj čakam. Številne znamke
za poletje pripravijo nove kolekcije in Avon Glow je ena izmed teh. Današnja
ocena je sicer precej dolga, vendar imam veliko prikazov in fotografij, da se
ne boste dolgočasili. Našla sem nekaj zanimivih izdelkov.
Avon Glow Bronzer Multi Stick – Glowing Nude in Blushing
Coral
Ta dva izdelka sta v meni takoj prebudila zanimanje, ker
poleti rada uporabljam kremne izdelke, sloh za kakšne hitre makeupe. Na primer
kot takrat, ko sem na morju in želim priti na zajtrk dokaj urejena, hkrati pa
nočem imeti cel obraz namazan s tonami ličil. Bronzing stika prideta v rjavi
plastični embalaži. Celotna kolekcija ima bronzast izgled z zlato pisavo.
V vsakem stiku je 4 grame izdelka in redna cena je 12.90€.
Trenutno jih lahko dobite za 8.60€. Cena
se mi zdi pretirana glede na to koliko izdelka je v embalaži. Najprej sem
mislila, da so ti stiki večji kot npr. Kiko osvetljevalec.
Izbirate lahko med dvema odtenkoma: Glowing Nude in Blushing
Coral.
Pa da najprej razčistimo, zame oba definitivnonista
bronzerja. Glowing Nude je bronzer odtenek, ki ima očiten rdečkast podton in
veliko majhnih srebrnih bleščic. Je precej naraven odtenek, ki izgleda kot bi
te dejansko poljubilo sonce. Po navadi smo ob prvem dnevu sončenja rahlo
rdečkasti in meni se zdi, da ta odtenek dobro odraža to naravno zagorelost in
izgleda precej naravno.
Blushing Coral je zame definitivno rdečilo za lica. Ime je
popolnoma napačno saj gre za fuksijo roza odtenek z majhnimi delčki sivih
bleščic. Teh je tako malo, da izgleda skoraj mat.
Oba izdelka sta kremna v obliki stika. Tekstura je zelo
kremasta, skoraj maslena. Na kožo se nanašata z lahkoto. Sta precej
transparentna in koža se bo še vedno videla skozi izdelek. Če iščete kaj
izredno pigmentiranega, kot na primer kremne korektorje, potem to zagotovo ni
za vas. Je res precej transparentno. Lahko jih nanesete narahlo ali pa jih
nadgradite. Zabrisujejo se z lahkoto.
Finiš je precej sijoč in naraven.
Vonj je tak umeten, čeprav ni moteč.
Čeprav sta oba izdelka kremna, na meni ostaneta precej
dolgo. Rekla bom, da sta po 8-ih urah še vedno nedotaknjena. Če se veliko
potite ali imate naravno bolj mastno kožo, ne morem trditi, da bo obstojnost
enaka.
Glowing Nude mojemu svetlemu obrazu doda nekaj barve in
dimenzije. Izgleda kot moja koža, samo rahlo bolj zagorela in topla. Efekt je
res subtilen in naraven.
Blushing Coral uporabljam samo kot rdečilo za lica. Roza po
navadi ni moj odtenek rdečila, vendar je ta tako transparenten in izgleda zelo
naravno. Takoj doda celotnemu izgledu malo življenja in izgleda veliko bolj
naravno kot rdečila v prahu.
Seveda lahko ta izdelka uporabljate za več delov obraza. Jaz
sem ju preizkusila tudi na ustnicah. Blushing Coral izgleda kot naraven a bolj
roza odtenek moj ustnic.
Glowing Nude doda bolj bronzasto vijoličast sijaj in izgleda
zelo lepo kombiniran z bronzerjem. To je vsekakor bolj moj nude odtenek.
Lahko jih uporabljate tudi na očeh. Sama tega nisem storila,
ker imam preveč mastne veke.
Pričakovala sem zelo pigmentirane kremne izdelke, ki pa so
se izkazali bolj primerni za vse, ki prisegate na naravni izgled. Oba stik se
nanašata z lahkoto (jaz ju nanašam s prsti ali makeup gobico), dobro
zabrisujeta in izgledata izredno naravno. Sta precej prozorna in dodata samo
rahlo barvo. Izgled je precej naraven in sijoč. Vsi, ki imate suho kožo boste
zagotovo vzljubili ta izdelka. Če pa imate mastno, ju ne bi priporočala, saj
lahko vaša koža izgleda še bolj sijoče in mastno.
Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls – Pink Bronze
Moje soblogerke so že hvalile ta izdelek in jaz se strinjam
z njimi. Te perlice naj bi bile en najbolj prodajanih Avonovih izdelkov.
Perlice imajo rjavo plastično posodo. Zraven dobite tudi gobico, ki perlice med
potovanjem zaščiti.
Redna cena je 13.70€ in v embalaži je 22 gramov izdelka.
Dobila sem odtenek Pink bronze. Imajo tudi Bronzed, Deepest
Bronze in Face Pearls, ki so bolj kot osvetljevalec. V tem katalogu sem videla
tudi odtenke Radiant Glow, Warm Coral in Bronzed. Ni mi jasno zakaj imajo
toliko različnih odtenkov.
Ime je zopet popolnoma napačno, saj so perlice v svetlo
mareličnem odtenku. Izgledajo svetlejše na roki, kot na mojem obrazu. Perlice
so v dveh barvah. Ena je sijoča svetlo marelična barva, druga pa sijoča
pastelno nevtralna barva. Ko ju zmešam skupaj dobim svetlikajočo rahlo
mareličen odtenek.
Če jih nanesem z mehkim čopičem, je nanos precej lahek in
transparenten. Uporabljam jih kar tri v enem: kot bronzer, rdečilo za lica in
osvetljevalec. Ker sem precej svetla in imam topel podton jih lahko uporabim
kot rahel bronzer. Če jih nanesem večkrat dobim bolj mareličast odtenek, ki ga
uporabim kot rdečilo za lica. Ker je svetlikajoče, pa lahko pozabim na
osvetljevalec, saj kožo tudi malo posvetli in ji da sijaj.
Tudi te perlice na meni zdržijo ves dan, kot vsi drugi izdelki
v prahu.
Imajo rahel cvetličen vonj, ki je meni kar prijeten.
Te perlice so mi vsekakor ljubše kot Face Pearls, saj te
dajo obrazu malo barve in na meni delujejo celo kot bronzer. Svetlikajoči delci
dajo čudovit naraven sijaj. Verjetno bi izgledale še lepše na srednji polti ali
takrat, ko bom malo porjavela.
Avon Glow dvostranski kajal svinčnik – Warm Sand, Silver
Pearl, Pacific Blue
Imam že kar nekaj Avonovih svinčnikov za oči in vsi so mi
všeč. Predvsem zato ker so mehki, saj ne maram trdih svinčnikov.
Gre za dvostranske svinčnike, ki naj bi z barvnim odtenkom
poudarili zagorelo polt, z črnim pa definirali oči. Vsak svinčnik ima na eni
strani črn odtenek na drugi pa barven.
Tudi ti so rjavkastega dizajna. Pokrovčki so prozorni. V
vsakem je 0.94 grame izdelka in redna cena je 6.50€. Trenutno jih lahko odbite
za 3.50€.
Warm Sand: svetlikajoča marelično nevtralna in mat črna
Silver Pearl: svetlikajoča siva in mat črna
Pacific Blue: morsko modra in mat črna
Obe strani sta zelo kremni, ampak ne tako kot na primer
Supershock svinčniki, ki so že bolj kot gel. Nanašajo se z lahkoto.
Z enim nanosom dobite bolj prozorno sled, z dvema ali tremi
pa popolnoma pigmentiran nanos. Barvni odtenki izgledajo skoraj kovinsko in
modra ima precej vidne srebrne bleščice. Črna je mar.
Če hočete izredno natančen nanos, potem boste potrebovali
čopič. So odlični za zabrisovanje in ustvarjanje zadimljenih izgledov.
Na meni ostanejo cel dan. Če imate povešene veke in mastne,
potem se lahko odtisnejo na zgornjo veko. Meni se je to zgodilo na vroč dan, ko
sem hodila po opravkih.
Warm Sand
To je moja najljubša kombinacija. Marelično nevtralen
odtenek uporabljam za posvetlitev notranjih kotičkov. Lahko ga uporabite tudi
okrog spodnjih trepalnic za bolj azijski videz.
Silver Pearl
Ta kovinsko srebrni odtenek res poudari oči. Sicer se malo
tepe z mojim toplim tonom, ampak bi izgledal čudovito na modrih očeh.
Pacific Blue
Redko kdaj so mi všeč modri odtenki. Letos pa sem našla kar
nekaj modrih izdelkov za oči, ki so mi všeč. Ta odtenek res izgleda moder kot
morje in očem doda barvo. Spomni me na počitnice in poletje. Je moj drugi
najljubši odtenek. Modra mi deluje precej nevtralna in je primerna za topel in
hladen ton kože.
Ti odtenki bi vsekakor poudarili zagorelost in so
najenostavnejši način za dodajanja barve v vaše vsakodnevno ličenje. Tudi če
niste zagoreli, bodo ti kremasti svinčniki izgledali čudovito z različnimi
makeupi. Všeč mi je formula kot tudi odtenki. Avonovi svinčniki so eni mojih
ljubših izdelkov od njih. Edina negativna stvar je, da se lahko odtisnejo na
veke, sploh, če imate mastne.
Avon Glow kolekcija ima zanimiv nabor odtenkov za enostaven
poletni videz. Kremasti stiki so perfektni za lahkoten makeup na počitnicah za
res naraven izgled. Za močnejši makeup so primerne perlice, ki dajo naraven
zagorel videt. Svinčniki pa bodo dodali barvo in definicijo. Če ste na
počitnicah, doma ali v pisarni, vsepovsod vam bodo takšni izdelki zagotovo v
korist odvisno od vaših preferenc.
