Summer Makeup Favorites

Danas vam predstavljam šminku koju sam najčešće koristila ovog leta i za koju imam reči hvale. Drogerijskog je ranga, stoga odgovara svačijem džepu. Nadam se da će vam moja preporuka dobro doći i da ćete uživati u ovom postu. Vaša iskustva ili sugestije napišite mi u komentaru.

Today I'd like to showcase some makeup that I've used this summer. All of these can be found in an average store, which is adequate for everyone's wallet. I hope that these recommendations are helpful and that you'll enjoy this post. Please write your experiences and suggestions in a comment.

 

"Color Riche Les Ombres" - L'Oreal Paris 

Počeću od L'Orealove palete senki za zadimljeni pogled. S obzirom da sam nakon Aurine palete izgubila veru u savršeni zadimljeni pogled, ova paleta je bila pravo iznenađenje. Pigmentacija je izvrsna. Boje se divno stapaju i uz dobru četkicu za blendanje stvaraju fin ombre prelaz. Može se naći u svim drogerijama. Cena je oko 1500RSD, ali u vreme sniženja se spusti i do 1000RSD.

I'll start with palette from L'Oreal for the smoky look. After Aura's palette I've lost faith in the perfect smoky look, but this one was a real surprise. Pigmentation is perfect. Colours blend perfectly and with a good blending brush it is possible to create a fine ombre blend. It can be found in many stores. The original price was 1500RSD, but can be as low as 1000RS during sale periods.

"Extreme Black" gel eyeliner - Alverde

Na redu je eyeliner u gelu zbog koga sam zavolela Alverde kozmetiku. Lako se nanosi uz pomoć iskošene pljosnate čestkice. Postojan je uz samo jedan sloj. Jedna od bitnijih karakteristika je da se sadržaj u pakovanju ne suši brzo, te mi traje mesecima. Takođe, jedan je od jeftinijih gel eyeliner-a u drogerijama: košta svega 300RSD, što je izuzetno povoljno uz kvalitet koji pruža.

Next up is a gel-based eyeliner which made me love Alverde cosmetics. It can be easily applied using a slanted flat brush and it remains stable with just one layer. One of the more important characteristics is that the contents of the package don't dry very quickly, so it can last for months. Also, it is one of the cheaper gel-based eyeliners that I've found in the store: it cost 300RSD, which is incredibly cheap given the quality it provides.

"Silver Argent" pearl powder - NYX

Ova senka u prahu ili pigment je prvi koji sam probala. U početku nisam znala kako se nanosi, te sam se igrala i odlučila za najjednostavniji metod: pljosnatu četkicu naprskam vodom kako bi se pigment zalepio na nju, a potom nanesem na kapak. Tokom šminkanja se kruni, tako da preporučujem stavljanje korektora na predeo ispod očiju tek nakon nanošenja pigmenta. Zamerku imam na pakovanje koje nije praktično. Za cenu od oko 250RSD u pakovanju se dobija 3g pigmenta. Sva NYX-ova kozmetika se može naći po prodavnicama koje snabdeva Alexandar Cosmetics.

This powdered shadow is the first one I tried. At first it wasn't clear to me how to apply it, so I played with it and decided on the simplest method: I took the flat brush and sprayed it with water to stick the pigment onto it, and then applied it on my eyelid. It didn't crumble during application, so I would recommend using a concealer on the area below the eye only after the pigment is applied. The only remark I have is about the impractical packaging. For the price of 250RSD the package contains 3 grams of pigment. All cosmetics by NYX can be found in stores supplied by Alexandar Cosmetics.

"Taupe" blush - NYX

U pitanju je moje omiljeno rumenilo kupljeno iz razloga koji će vas možda iznenaditi. Pošto sam svetle puti sa svetlim očima, ne volim kako na mom licu izgleda bronzer. Želela sam da nađem alternativu kojom ću moći da istaknem predeo ispod jagodica, a ovo rumenilo mi je odlično poslužilo! Tamno braon je i nema narandžastih tonova koji više odgovaraju devojkama preplanulog tena; takođe je bez sjajnih čestica. Fino se stapa sa licem i izgleda prirodno. Košta između 600 i 700RSD, a u pakovanju se nalazi 4g rumenila.

This is my favourite blush which I bought for a reason that might be surprising. I have a very light skin and very light eyes and I don't like the look of the bronzer on my face. I wanted to find an alternative with which I can put an accent on the area below the cheekbones, and this blush served me nicely! It is a darker shade of brown and doesn't have any orange tones that are more suited for girls with darker tan; it also lacks shiny particles. It blends nicely with the face and looks natural. It costs between 600 and 700RSD, and comes in package which contains 4 grams of powder.

"XXXL Nude" lip gloss - Essence

Nakon dužeg vremena, ponovo se zaljubljujem u sjajeve za usne. Ovaj volim da kombinujem uz dole pomenuti ruž ili nude olovku za usne. Daje usnama punoću i glamurozni izgled. Košta oko 250RSD što je zaista povoljno.

After a long period, I'm again falling in love with lip glosses. I like combining this one with the lipstick mentioned below, or a nude lip pencil. It really makes the lips look glamorous. It cost about 250RSD which is really approachable.

 "LSS 529 Thalia" lipstick - NYX

Odličan ruž za svakodnevnu upotrebu. U pitanju je prljavo roza boja koja licu daje nežan izgled. Jedina mana je trajnost, koja se može popraviti upotrebom olovke za usne. Kremasti ruževi su najjeftiniji NYX ruževi i mogu se naći po ceni od 350 do 400RSD.

This is a great lipstick for everyday use. The one in question has a dirty pink shade which makes the face have a tender look. There aren't many flaws aside from the durability, which can be repaired by using a lip pencil. Creamy lipsticks are by far the cheapest category of NYX's lipsticks, and can be bought at prices ranging from 350 to 400RSD. 

"Lash Sensational" mascara - Maybelline New York

Maybelline ne prestaje da me iznenađuje maskarama. Čini mi se da sam ih sve isprobala i mogu da zaključim da je svaka sledeća bolja od prethodne. Ova ima zakrivljenu četkicu koja odgovara obliku trepavica. Blago ih raščešljava ravnomerno nanoseći boju i ne stvara grudvice. Za večernje izlaske stavim i do tri sloja. Kupljena je po promotivnoj ceni od 700RSD.

Maybelline never stops surprising me with their mascaras. I've probably tried out all of them and can only conclude that each one I try is better than the previous one. This one in particular has a curved brush that matches the shape of the eyelashes. It also combs them out while applying the colour and doesn't create lumps. For some situations, like an evening out, I apply up to three layers. I bought it during a promotion, when the price was 700RSD.
