Favourite matte lipsticks

O matte šminkah sem že pisala, pa vendarle še nisem naredila konkretne objave s swatchi in mojimi TOP matte šminkami. V zbirki jih imam kar nekaj, ena najljubša pa manjka - ji bom posvetila celotno objavo! Stay tuned!

Torej, prvi dve sta zagotovo MAC šminki. Vredni svojega slovesa in denarja.

All fired up in Diva. Definition najbolj dolgoobstojni, odlično pigementirani in preprosto - fantastični. Če jih še niste preizkusile, toplo priporočam. 

I love matte lipstick lately! They are such a hit! I wanted to prepare this post for you, because I do own some really pretty lipsticks....

First of them are from MAC cosmetics - love the long-lasting colour and pigmentation. Mac is Mac. Worth every cent. 

ALL FIRED UP AND DIVA <3

Bell HypoAllergenic in Maybelline

Obe sta mi zelo pri srcu, definitivno sta si tudi sorodni duši. Podobni pri pigmentaciji, ki je odlična in pri tem - da nista tako suhi kot MAC šminke. Kar mi je res všeč, ker pri Macovih včasih potrebujem še balzam - pa se nato ves ta matte učinek razgubi. 

Bell se mi zdi čudovita kot "poskusna" šminka, za vse ki še ne veste ali vam je ta učinek in občutek na ustnicah sploh všeč. Matte učinek je zelo suh in pri nekaterih lahko povzroči razpokane ustnice (pri meni kdaj pa kdaj) in da ne boste za prvo matte šminko odštele celo premoženje, vam priporočam, da preizkusite kakšno cenejšo (prav tako odlično), da vam ne bo žal :)

Bellovo kupite tukaj (klik!) in v Tuš Drogerijah, Nami in Maxiju. Maybelline pa v drogerijah/Muller.

Zelo mi je všeč, da se dobijo matte šminke tudi po nizkih cenah, Bellova stane okoli 5 eur in pigmentacija je popolnoma primerljiva z Macovimi. Nebi mogla reči, da so kaj slabše.

Maybelline stane nekaj evrov več, pa vendarle ni tako zasoljena cena kot pri Macovih. Prav tako odlična in zelo lepo diši.

The second one is from BELL HYPOALLERGENIC <3 I love that brand, it is perfect for people with sensitive skin and people that are allergic to something. 

The price is so low, around 5 euros for really highly pigmented lipstick which is also not that dry as the one from Mac. They are quite similar to Maybelline lipsticks too!

Pupa - lip fluid

Pupa me je s tem produktom povsem kupila. Odlična matte šminka, nora dejansko 24-urna obstojnost in hitro sušenje.

The best izdelek, imam na wishlisti še kar nekaj odtenkov... nekateri so zelo podobni Kylie Cosmetics, ki je postala pravi hit. Čeprav so za moje pojme cene zelo zasoljene + poštnina. Ne, nikakor ne bom dala 50 eur za matte lip fluid.

Pupin stane okoli 15 eur, kar se mi zdi zmerna cena, če jo primerjam s kvaliteto.

Nosim jo v tej objavi tukaj (klik!).

Pupa stole my heart with this shade and this collection. Perfect shades, long-lasting lipstick - really could last 24 hours! And they have some quite similar shades to Kylie cosmetics. But their price is too high if you ask me. No thanks!

Price is around 15 euros. 

Šminke sem preizkusila tudi na rokah, da jih lahko primerjate. Nekatere so res odlične, medtem ko BOURJOIS velvetki - ki jih imam sicer zelo rada, zelo zelo grdo smrdijo po plastiki, čeprav so res obstojni in pigmentirani. Velikokrat se tudi naberejo v gube na ustnicah, tako da so daleč od popolne šminke - čeprav prvih nekaj ur - izgledajo božansko na ustnicah. 

I am also big fan of Bourjois velvet lippies, but they have this plastic smell I really hate. And they are too dry. But I wear them a lot anyway...

Kot vidite, so pigmentacije različne. Pri nekaterih je dovolj 1 nanos in je barva takšna kot je na šminki.

The difference between pigmentations... 

Pa vaše najljubše matte šminke?

Jih sploh nosite? :)

And your favourite mattes? :)

Perfect vampy lips : Mac Diva & L.A. Girl Backstage

Manija "vampy lips" je narasla do te mere, da skoraj ne poznam punce (no, vsaj blogerke), ki nebi preizkusila kako tudi sama izgleda s temnejšo šminko. 

Sama sem se za božička pocrkljala z Mac - Diva šminko, mi me je res očarala. Definitivno NI za vsak dan, pa vseeno za pozne večere s prijateljicami ob vino - kot naročena! 

Všeč mi je pigmentacija, obstojnost - skratka vse kar predstavljajo Mac šminke. 

Veliko razočaranje pa je sledilo....

Ob testiranju L.A. odtenka BACKSTAGE (matte l.a. girl lipstick), ki so mi jo punce sicer globoko priporočile... Mene pa je popolnoma razočarala.

Formula je res smešna, čisto drugačna od tega kar sem vajena, lahko bi rekla da je podobna Bourjois velvet matte glosom (malo!)... Na mojih ustnicah se spremeni v grudice in nanos ni enak in res rešuje jo samo to - da ko obrišem nanos z papirjem potem ostane lep matte videz, drugače pa se ne posuši in ostane v grudicah... Blaaah, res za nikamor!

Nevem ali je bila samo moja šminka taka, ali sem prejela "pokvarjeno" verzijo, ampak res mi ni všeč. Polno grudic, nanos res ni lep, je pa čisto lahka. Zlahka bi si jo razmazala in še vedela nebi.

Odtenke imajo čudovite in res sem mislila, da bo sledilo navdušenje, tako pa mi res ni bila všeč. Žal.

Kupljena na Ebayu : okoli 6 eur

Za popolne VAMPY ustnice pa nekaj trikov :

- naredi piling za ustnice, vsaj meni RES pomaga, da odstraniš vso odmrle plasti z ustnic, tudi šminka bo lepše "ostala" na ustnicah

- na ustnice nanesi malo pudra + lipbalma (jaz vedno pod matte šminke dodam lip balm)

- svinčnik za ustnice, NUJNO ko gre za bolj temne barve, tudi če barva ni enaka, jo boš že skrila z šminko

- čim manj se je dotikaj s prsti in čim manj popravljaj, da ne razmažeš temne šminke, tam tega ne moreš skriti

Takšna naj bi bila na ustnicah L.A. Girl - BACKSTAGE, pa NI. 

Je svetlejša, nikakor ne pride do takšnega nanosa in ni tako pigmentirana.

My MAC lipstick collection

Back to... MACS!

I decided for this post because I wanted to share my Mac stories with you. Those lipstick are special for me and each of them is (almost, hah) from another city, so I thought it could be interesting.

(Party line...All fired up...New York Apple....Velvet Teddy...Diva...Craving)

Which one I wear the most?

All fired up (matte). 

Which one I wear the least?

Velvet teddy (matte). I don't feel like wearing nude lipstick lately.

MAC - all fired up

The second one on the picture. It was my first MAC. And still the best. My man gave it to me in Stuttgart. 

MAC - party line

My second favourite. The first on on the picture. My neighbour Anaja brought me this lovely from San Diego! (how about that)

MAC - New york apple

Came all the way from Minneapolis (Minnesota, US) from my father's friend who made me a favour and bought this for me there. (third on picture)

I love it. It is perfect lipstick for little black dress or Christmas Eve. 

MAC - Velvet teddy

Fourth on picture! The "nude" one. It is one of the most famous lipstick, but I only wore it like "3 times". I really must wear nude lips more often. Minneapolis again.

MAC - Diva

Also from Minneapolis (thanks Rozi!) and it is amazing. So dark. So special. So matte.

MAC - Craving

Bought it (finally) by myself haha in Amsterdam, so this one is from Europe, haha. Perfect everyday lipstick, I wear it too little, but it truly is pretty.

Which Macs do you own?

And I must say on the trip we paid so little for gas - I love my car! Hahah, that's why this shopping was possible. And mostly we were staying at our friend's houses, family ... So that a big, big, big plus! :)

I am really happy and grateful that I got the chance to shop so much! I am a lucky girl, but also if I remember all the "all day shifts" I worked... Work hard, shop hard! 

P.s. Must say I really had an amazing time yesterday on "one of my" first Zumba classes this year, girls I really missed you!

Gotta go to work now, later - we will celebrate my "father in law's" birthday & tomorrow me and my man are celebrating 4 years together *can't believe that love is still growing with everyday*, so I have really great days in from of me ... Damn, I feel so lucky lately, feels good to be grateful for all the good things in life 

Kisses,

It's all about "bindi"

I'm posting a lot of makeups from my iMac web cam, I know! But it's so simple to take photos with it & light is good & I think it's so personal and cosy!

So, about this look! Friday evening, I was going to theatre and I really didn't know what to wear or what makeup to use - so this is all "last minute" look.

I decided for totally black outfit, but a little more statement makeup. I used Makeup revolution eyeshadows (baked black) and Mac lipstick Cremesheen party line. I got it from my neighbour from San Diego!

I decided to go for a casual "indian" look, so I wore my black turban & BINDI! Bindi is this shiny glittery sticker I have on my face! I simply love it, it gives a whole makeup a "cherry on top" - thanks to my blogger friend Agnes, I first tried it with her and immediately ordered myself a 100 bindis from Ebay!

I really think bindi & turban made a whole look special. So I'm satisfied with the result.

What do you think? 15 minutes from makeup & styling? :D

Lot's of love & bindis,

Katja

Mac : lipsticks

I really wanted to show you my Mac's lipsticks. I first didn't liked them... Because I have this feeling that expensive cosmetics is overrated sometimes. But with Mac, I think is totally worth this money.

I have 4 Mac lipsticks, not included lipsticks in Mac palette... 

My favourite is definitely :  New York apple (first on picture)! I wore it here (click!) and just loving it so much!

I can't believe I actually bought only 2 of them, the rest was gift from my love and neighbour who went to California for the summer (thanks babe!<3).

Must say, I really like the smell of those lipstick, pigmentation and the matte formula. Normally I don't like matte lipstick but with Mac... I adore them. The red one (3rd on picture) is all fired up (you asked me a lot about this one) and the second velvet teddy.

Which are your favourite shades from Mac? I would really like to know!

USA Mac & Sephora haul

This post will be HUGE. But Sephora and Mac really deserve it. I'm a big Sephora fan for more then 6 years now. My father brought me my first Sephora palette from USA and since then I always loved their eye shadows. When my dad's friend went to US to visit his daughter, I grabbed a chance and order something from Mac and Sephora! The prices are lower there, than here in Europe!

This is my 5th or 6th Sephora palette. But first one with baked eyeshadows. I'm dreamy. I will post a swatch later, but this is just an amazing palette with everyday colours. It costed about 30 eur. But totally worth every single cent!

The second one was really cheeep! Only 10 $ which is about 8 euro! I had to have it and here it is. Totally useful colors, for everyday! :) Another product that is really great is this one click, click!

This is my first MAC single eyeshadow, I have a palette already (amazing dad!) find it here (click, click) and I'm impressed! It really not cheep... 16$ which is 12 euros, but worth trying it :) I totally love this gold shade, I'm wearing it everyday!

So... What else could be written about Mac lipstick more than "we all love them"?! 

I decided (after few hours of watching swatches) for New york apple (red one) and Velvet teddy (nude). New York apple is really an amazing red, I'm actually wearing it here (click, click) and the "nude" one is the famous Kylie Jenner lipstick. I really don't like her too much, fake lips are not my style (even if I get a questions a lot of times if I had botox job about my lips haha, nope just great gens) - but the makeup is nice so - this one should look really natural and soft. I will make another post about it.

I hope you liked the post, I'm totally in love with all my picks and can't wait to use them. Makeup is making me so happy! <3

P.s. FELIZ NAVIDAD/MERRY CRISTMAS/SREČEN BOŽIČ! <3

I'll be spending my christmas with my boyfriend's family, they celebrate it traditionally German way, so it's always fun! :)
