Perfume wishlist - Salma.si

Naredila sem wishlisto najljubših parfumov (no, vsaj nekaterih - za vse ni prostora, hehe) na Salma jih lahko dobite po zelo ugodnih cenah.

Ko imam čas (zadnje čase mi ravno tega primanjkuje) velikokrat raziskujem kaj vse ponujajo in kako točno se cene razlikujejo od drogerijskih. Razlike so pri nekaterih primerih kar ogromne, tako da se res splača malo pobrskati.

Da ne omenjam odličnih cen ličil... O katerih sem že pisala tukaj.

Prepričajte se same :)

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?

Hotel Primus retreat for bloggers



Čas je, da vam opišem in na dolgo in široko naredim lušte o našem kratkem potovanju na Ptuj!

 To, da sem se lahko udeležila pravega kratkega potovanja s slovenskimi blogerkami, edinstvenimi puncami - ki so me res navdihnile in navdušile je res ena izmed boljših stvari, ki mi jih je blogerski svet prinesel. Neskončno hvaležna in vesela za to izkušnjo! *hvalahvalahvala*

Najlepši del vsega je, da boste lahko prebrali opise na vseh blogih in videli, kako smo si podobne in hkrati različne pri "bloganju".

Pa začnimo!


Vse skupaj se je začela v Ljubljani, pri Mercedes-Benzih! To, da so poskrbeli za našo varnost na poti (in prav tako tudi stil, hehe) me je res osrečilo! Edinstvena priložnost, da prvič sedem za volan Mercedesa! 

Potovale smo z tremi avtomobili, tja smo potovale v CLA-ju in nazaj v C-klasi karavan. Z Ajdo, sva se hitro odločili da bo tja vozila ona - ker je že imela izkušnje z avtomatiki, nazaj pa jaz! Ajda, najlepša hvala ker si mi pomagala pri mojem premagovanju strahu - malce sem se ustrašila voziti tako velik avto, ker sem navajena na mojo "yarisko", pa vendarle sem se nakoncu POPOLNOMA zaljubila v lepotca. 

Neverjetno udobje, eleganca in seveda vožnja. Povsem neverjetna izkušnja. Nikoli si nisem mislila, da bom prepoznala in občutila razliko med vožnjo Mercedesa in katerega koli drugega avta. Pa vendarle... UAU. (več o tem drugič...)


Ajda pri delu, hehe... In najin črn lepotec. 


Po udobni vožnji... Smo prišle do hotela Primus. Ime je dobil po rimskemu vojskovodji, ki se je v antičnih časih boril na območju današnjega Ptuja oz. rimske Petovie.

Takoj smo se nastanile v sobe in ogledale kaj vse nam ponuja Spa in Wellness center v hotelu.

In... z drugo besedo... "kaj vse NE ponuja"... 

Slike govorijo zase. V tej sobici spodaj (japonski suiti) pa smo z Ajdo, Teso in Anela preživele nekaj spoščujočih trenutkov v zasebnem jacuzziju in savnah...



Vsaka je dobila svojo sobo, kar me je po eni strani razveselilo - ker še nikoli nisem imela hotelske sobe zase! Bilo je res zanimivo, predvsem pa sproščujoče biti malo "sam s seboj" in imeti svoj mir.

Sobe so zelo "domače" in okrašene z rimskimi freskami. Ne smem pa pozabiti na izjemen (velik) balkon, ki prav pride v poletnih dneh.


Slik bazenov žal nimam veliko, ker je bilo težko nositi fotoaparat v kopalne prostore zaradi vlage itd, tako da si jih lahko ogledate na spletni strani tukaj.

Nudijo ogromno ponudbo savn (infra rdeča, finska, turška...) ter bazene z termalno vodo (lahko se ga tudi najame).

Imajo res ogrooomno sob z zasebnih jacuzzijem in savnami, prav tako pa nudijo tudi ličenje, masaže, ter MED contour.


Kaj je MED Contour?

"Med Contour je edinstven medicinski tretma za preoblikovanje telesa in ena najbolj učinkovitih metod zmanjševanja odvečnih maščob in trdovratnega celulita.
 S kombinacijo ultrazvočne terapijevakuumske masaže in limfne drenaže pripomore k izločanju odvečnih strupov in maščob, zmanjšanju obsega, odstranjevanju celulita in izboljšanju tonusa ter elastičnosti kože. Primeren je tako za ženske kot za moške. Tretma je popolnoma varen in neboleč. Poteka pod zdravniškim nadzorom, brez kirurških posegov in okrevanja ter je ena najboljših alternativ kirurški liposukciji. Rezultati so vidni takoj in dolgoročni."
Več o tem si lahko preberete tukaj.
Moja izkušnja
O med contouru nisem vedela veliko, le tisto kar sem si uspela prebrati na internetu. 
Vse skupaj je zelo neboleče, meni je bilo prijetno - zna se zgoditi, da te nekajkrat zapeče koža (ker je naprava zelo topla) in to je vse. S kozmetičarko sva se posvetili predelu pod zadnjico, torej zadnja stran stegen in jih masirale z napravo. 
Ob tretmaju sem izgubila 1,5 cm obsega (kar je veliko) in zdi se mi, da se je tonus kože zares izboljšal. Razliko sem videla s prostim očesom in zdela se mi je res kar očitna.
Seveda, pa je fino če se tretma večkrat ponovi, ampak ker je zadeva dolgoročna - mislim, da se bo pri meni na koži rezultat poznal kar nekaj časa. 
So pa na Ptuju edini v Sloveniji, ki izvajajo to terapijo!

Mokri "beach hair" in ustvarjanje makeupa z Ajdo! 


In zdaj k najslajši stvari... HRANI!

Kot me verjetno že poznate, če vsaj nekaj časa berete moj blog ali spremljate moj instagram profil - veste, da nisem ravno pretirano navdušena nad zdravo prehrano. Sadje in zelenjava mi nista blizu, obožujem meso, kruh, pizzo in pite vseh vrst. Prav tako, nikoli nimam dovolj špagetov in krompirja.

Zato, mi je beseda "detox" tuja. Pa vendarle, človek se vedno spreminja in uči.

Hrana, ki smo jo z blogerkami jedle ta vikend je bila zdrava in popolnoma "detox".


Postregli so nam z najrazličnejšimi jedmi! Jaz osebno sem se najbolj razveselila rib, lososa in dobrega domačega vina.

Preizkusila sem tudi špinačni smoothie, ki res "poka" od zdravja. Meni osebno je preveč "naraven", hehe pa vendarle sem se počutila res dobro ko sem ga pila - končno nekaj vitaminčkov za moje telo!


Zelo zanimivo so nam postregli tudi juho! Kuhala se je 24 ur in ni vsebovala niti kančka soli. 

Ker se je toliko časa prekuhavala z zelišči, so spustila tisti okus - ki ni potreboval dodatne soli in tako je bila jed takoj bolj zdrava. 


Hrana je bila odlična, zame seveda malo preveč zelenjave, vendar to je bila DETOX verzija.

Vsekakor pa je hrana zelo okusna in všeč mi je, kako lepo je vse dekorirano tako da je paša prav tako za oči in želodček!



Po dogodivščinah v hotelu Primus, smo se tik pred odhodom v Ljubljano zapeljale še do znane Gostilne Ribič v centru Ptuja.

Tam je bila hrana kot ustvarjena za moj okus. Odlično slovensko vino, postrežba 1A in prijaznost osebja! 

Bolj na kratko - hrana je bila božanska. Ker je gostilna poznana predvsem po ribji hrani (kar meni zelo odgovarja) sem srčno upala, da bom okusila nekaj nepozabnega.

Vendar, da bo to jastog s špageti... Aaaa! Moje veselje je bilo nepopisno, pojedla sem še del Aneline porcije (hvala haha!) in uživala maksimalno!

Upam, da nisem naredila prevelikih luštov... Tudi jaz se zdajle nebi branila te porcije... še enkrat... in še enkrat.



In še za konec... Katja za volanom!

Najlepša hvala VSEM, ki so kakorkoli pripomogli k našemu "detox vikendu". Imela sem se nepozabno, vesela sem - da sem lahko spoznala punce in uživala v vsem kar mi ima Ptuj za ponudit! 

Hvala in...

Se vidimo!

P.s. Še vedno poteka glasovanje tukaj, če glasujete za katerokoli blogerko lahko tudi ve zadanete nagrado vikend v Termah Ptuj! :)

Bom pa seveda vesela, če glasujete zame, hihi.

URBAN DECAY : Naked palette review



Let's get ... NAKED! 

Finally the post I believe a lot of girls wanted to read! My naked story (haha!)...

Let's go back to Frankfurt (Germany!)...
We all know that naked palettes are "something". If you have it, you feel like a princess. Because it is so : beautiful, amazing, pretty and so expensive. 

Why did I bought it?

First of all, I want to clear this out - I thought they are so overrated! Everyone on instagram, blogs have it. I thought they are not so interesting at all.

But then I saw it couple of times in shops (Amsterdam, Hamburg...) and when we were in Frankfurt a lady who worked at the shop, showed me some swatches and I was totally shocked. Pigmentation is craaaazy. She tried some shades on my eyes, I was in love.

And the palette is SO much bigger in real and it truly is worth every cent. For me it is a perfect palette, you don't need anything else if you have this one.


I know. 50 euros for a palette is not a small price! BUT, it is so big, the pigmentation is perfect and it has those amazing shades you can use everyday.

I believe that it is worth every single cent.

I have also dopes : Makeup revolution (click here for my post) and they can not compare. They cost about 6 euros, first I was totally okay with them - but now when I tried Naked palette... NOPE. It is so much better.


Well, the pictures speak for themselves...

I love the shades really, I picked up NAKED 1, because it also has more green shades and I have green eyes so it is better for me than NAKED 2, even if I love every single one of them.

Creating makeup with naked palette really is an experience, something different. Maybe because you know how expensive it is, haha - but mostly because pigmentation and long - lasting eye shadows are truly divine. 


Do you have any of those? :)

I also bought a blusher, I will show it to you don't worry! <3

THANKS again for lovely comments on previous post, LOVE you so much!

Kisses and also one big news...

Me and few Slovenian bloggers & PR's ladies are going to enjoy Terme Ptuj this weekend, make sure you follow us on instagram and Facebook.  Mercedes - Benz will take care for a ride and Terme Ptuj for our spoiling with food, pools and so on.

There will be also - GIVEAWAY (weekend in Terme Ptuj) so don't miss all the news about it.

Yay, dreams do come true! :)

10 things bloggers don't tell you


1. Building and growing a blog takes a lot of hard work.
Especially if you are doing everything alone! PR emails, editing, photos, plans, writings and so on.

2. Getting a lot of comments is amazing! 
Of course I'm not gonna lie! I loooove reading comments, ideas, critics and compliments from my readers. That makes blog more alive and better.

3. We buy things we don't need only to make a great photo. 
You can see this on all blogs! Hahah, nice flowers, decor things... This one is sooo real!

4. Getting freebies is actually a great thing. At the start. 
I was blogging 1,5 year, when I got my first "collaboration". I was soooo excited, that someone liked the blog so much and that they wanted me to review something for them and it meant that I am actually doing something good! But now... This is really big responsibility! Getting new things to review almost everyday - you almost can't handle it. So lately I can saying "no" to a lot of companies, because I don't have a place or time for all those things. 

5. Not everyone can start a blog. And stick to it! 
I stole this one from English blogger (I admit!). But it is so true. If you are writing blog only because of "freebies" you should stop. Now. It takes a lot of time and work, to make it good and to get real readers and "followers". People always know when you are faking posts.6. It is amazing when people say to you "are you a blogger from...". Happened to me few times! To be "recognised". It is so funny when people tell you (and you see them for the first time) that they know so many things about you etc. Such a strange but great feeling. YAY!

7. Other blogger are my inspiration (too!)

I love reading other blogs, it is a part of my process when I need more inspiration. Even if I never ran out off ideas for new posts. I really can't believe that I have so many things to share with the world!

8. We take 100 photos and only use 4 of them.

That counts especially for fashion bloggers! How many times we hate the way we look on the photos or get so pissed about it, because photos didn't turned out like we wanted. So, it is a loooot of work behind the photos you see on the blog.

9. We are normal people. With kids, jobs, schools...
Some people think that all I do is blog. But for example ; (well few of them) just like a lot of bloggers, I am a student, I work 2-3 students jobs, I make my own money, I have worries, I have to study... and all the everyday stuff. Blogging makes me happy, I wish I would have more time for it (even if I do blog a lot!) but still... you must know that sometimes we are kinda superheroes, posting so regulary and doing all our stuff! (haha!)

10. Blogging is giving me freedom. 

I feel so free that I can blog whenever I want and whatever I want. It feels so damn great and I am so happy that I discovered blogging world!

What do you think about these facts?



Katja

HAPPY 2016! <333
