Beauty Shopping u Hrvatskoj (DM, Muller, Bipa...) / Beauty Haul in Croatia!

Pusa svima! Danas vam donosim jedan novi "beauty haul" video i post :) Pokazati cu vam par stvarcica koje sam kupila prilikom posjeta obitelji u Hrvatskoj (skoknula sam do mojih omiljenih drogerija, DM-a, Bipe i Mullera...)

Video u kojem vam pokazujem koje su se sve stvarcice nasle u mojoj potrosackoj kosarici, pogledajte ovdje:

Moja kupovina u DM-u, Mulleru i Bipi...na listi su se nasli ovi odlicni "beauty" proizvodi:

Proizvode koji su na ovoj slicici dobila sam na poklon od mame!
Zaista me je iznenadila i jako razveselila :)
Radi se o Cera di Cupra kremici za ruke koja odlicno mirisi, DKNY parfemu "Be Delicious", Bourjois ruzu za usne "Rouge Edition #11" te Le Petit Marseiliais gelu za tusiranje sa prekrasnim mirisom narancinog cvijeta.
Jako volim sve ove stvarcice i hvala puno mojoj dragoj mami ♥
Mama je vecinu tih stvarcica kupila u Bipi.

Ove sam proizvode kupila u DM-u:
Aussie "3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor" je moj must- have proizvod za njegu kose, a odlucila sam se isprobati i ovaj "Miracle Recharge" sprej za rascesljavanje duge kose (leave in).
Moju recenziju Aussie proizvoda za njegu kose pogledajte ovdje!

Kupila sam jos Bourjois mineral deodorant sprej, kojeg vec duze vremena koristim i jako sam zadovoljna jer ne sadrzi parabene i stetne aluminijske soli.
Balea Young soft & clear dobar je korektor protiv pristica zbog svojih antibakterijskih i protuupalnih sastojaka, a cijena mu je vrlo pristupacna.
I naravno, Burt's Bees balzam za usnice koji jest prilicno skup u Hrvatskoj, ali ga moje usne vole! Ovaj put odlucila sam se za regenerirajuci sipak, jer su mi usnice bile prilicno suhe i trebale su dodatnu njegu!

Ponovno sam kupila OPI Nail Envy (jako je skup, ali zaista cudotvoran proizvod zahvaljujuci kojem su moji nokti u odlicnom stanju!)
Recenziju ovog proizvoda mozete pogledati ovdje!

U Mulleru sam kupila i Catrice eyebrow filler perfecting & shaping gel maskaru (najbolja od svih tog tipa koje sam do sada isprobala!), te Artdeco Hydra Lip Booster (sjajilo u nijansi boje usana, vrlo prirodna boja, #36).

To je bila moja mala "beauty" kupovina! Kupila bih ja jos toga, ali kada se sve ove stvarcice zbroje, svotica je pozamasna tako da sam nastojala racionalno trositi i kupiti samo proizvode koji su mi zaista bili potrebni i za koje znam da su mi odlicni!

Ukoliko ste isprobali vec nesto od ovih proizvoda o kojima sam vam pisala danas, javite mi to u komentarima; kako su vam se svidjeli?

Ja vas do iduceg blog posta lijepo pozdravljam i saljem veliku pusu iz Italije! ♥

Hello lovelies!

Today's post is all about some new beauty products that I got recently in Croatia!

I went to a few of my favourite drugstores, such as Drogerie Markt, Bipa and Muller, and picked up some much needed beauty must-haves :)

My Mum also surprised me with a gorgeous gift! She bought me some awesome things, such as this Cera di Cupra hand cream (I love the scent of it!), DKNY "Be Delicious" perfume, Bourjois lipstick "Rouge Edition" in #11 and Le Petit Marseiliais shower gel with orange blossom scent!

I loved everything ♥

On my shopping list there were:

- Aussie 3 min miracle reconstructor 

- Aussie Miracle Recharge leave in conditioner (detangling spray) for long hair

- Bourjois mineral deodorant

- Balea Young Soft & Clear cover stick

- Burt's Bees lip balm

- OPI Nail Envy

- Catrice eyebrow filler perfecting & shaping gel

- Artdeco Hydra Lip Booster (#36)

It's not the biggest haul, but all these things add up to a good amount of money, so I had to be rational about it and shop for the things I really needed and the things I was certain I'm going to love using!

I can't wait to hear your opinions on them!

Skincare & Make Up for the Beach (Summer Beauty Secrets!)

Hi beauties!

You asked me to talk about my summer skincare & make up routine in summertime, particularly for the beach...

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to write about it sooner, but I did manage to film a video about it, while I was on my summer vacations!

I filmed directly from the beach and showed you all the products I use in my skincare (how I prepare my skin for the sun exposure), and I answered your question about wearing make up on the beach!

These are all the products I need to have on me in the hot summertime:

As you can see, there are just a very few products that I use when I'm on the beach, but these are truly my essentials and are all that I need!

You can check out my video where I talk to you about my summer skincare & make up for the beach, here:

My thoughts about wearing make up to the beach:

I think there's no point in doing that, really!

The most important thing is to protect your skin from the damaging UV rays with good skincare products.

Protect your natural beauty & let it shine :) In summertime, at the beach, you're going to be hot, you're going to sweat, go for a swim, be active (hopefully!)...your make up won't last...it'll be cakey on your face, it'll melt off, and you're going to look ridiculous!

If you feel that you need to wear at least something, go for a lipgloss with spf, and you can also use one of those mineral compact foundation with very high spf (I use Bioderma), that are designed specifically to be used at the beach/for sunbathing, and have a very light, mineral based formula that won't clog your pores and will just blend in with your skintone.

At risk of sounding cheesy... but, with no make up,  letting your natural beauty shine, you're going to be the most beautiful girl at the beach :)
Make up can be our best friend sometimes, but the beach is just not the place for it!

A few pics of me at the beach, wearing no make up...

I often say that a nice summer hat & a good pair of sunglasses, are my make up for the beach!

For summer skincare/ make up, these are the products I recommend:

- Bioderma Photoderm spf 30 Matifying Sun Fluid (if you have oily/combination skin); look for the one specific to your skin type!

- Vichy capital soleil spf50+ uvb+uva

- Bioderma photoderm max spf 50+ mineral compact very high protection sensitive skin

- Shiseido anti-aging foundation sun protection compact foundation spf 30 water-resistant (my shade is sp60)

- Sun Dance lippen balsam spf30 uva+uvb protection (exclusive to DM drugstores)

- Bronzingold lip gloss with spf (exclusive to deliplus)

- Nice summer hat

- A good pair of shades ;)

We're just a couple of days before the official ending of summer, but I hope this quick post will still be useful to you, for whenever you're sunbathing, or spending time at the beach!

Love from Italy,

xoxo, S.

Veliki beauty shopping u Hrvatskoj! | Big Beauty Haul in Croatia!

Bok svima!

U danasnjem videu i blog postu, podijeliti cu sa vama stvarcice koje sam kupila nedavno u Hrvatskoj...

Prilikom zadnjeg posjeta Hrvatskoj, iskoristila sam priliku i svratila do mojih omiljenih drogerija, DM-a i Bipe, i naravno, napunila potrosaku kosaricu svime i svacime ;)

Pogledajte sto sam sve kupila u mojem novom videu na hrvatskom jeziku:

Dok sam bila u Hrvatskoj, svratila sam i do gradske ljekarne (po Caudalie i Phyto proizvode), a nisam odoljela ni L'Occitane-u! :)

Evo moj beauty "ulov" u par slicica...

U Hrvatskoj sam kupila bas sve sto mi je bilo potrebno za njegu lica i tijela :)
Sretna jer sam nasla odlicne proizvode!

Odlucila sam isprobati novi brijac iz Gilette Venus & Olay suradnje, jako sam zadovoljna!
Baleina pjena za brijanje na prirodnoj je bazi i sadrzi njegujuce arganovo ulje.

Novi proizvodi za njegu kose:
- Zeljela sam isprobati Baleinu liniju na bazi smokve i bisera (posebno mi se svidjela maska za kosu iz te linije!)
- Aussie proizvodi (jos) nisu dostupni u Italiji pa sam napravila malu "zalihu" 3 minute miracle regeneratora, koji je zaista odlican!
- J. Frieda Sheer Blonde maska za kosu na koju sam naisla u Bipi, a cula sam za nju jako pozitivne recenzije (doduse, nije me nesto posebno odusevila!)

Posebna "poslastica" bili su mi ovi proizvodi od Phyto, Caudalie i L'Occitane-a!

Balea Young gelovi za tusiranje osvojili su me svojim prekrasnim mirisom i zgodnim, sarenim pakiranjem!
Za njegu tijela i dnevnu higijenu volim koristiti i Bourjois proizvode :)

Ove Baleine maskice za lice su zaista odlicne!
Isprobala sam i L'Oreal Elseve "cudotvorno ulje", za koje sam se nadala da ce biti slicno Eliksir K Ultime-u od Kerastasa, ali nazalost, nije mu ni sjena...
Beauty proizvodi koji su se nasli na mojoj listi bili su i ovi lip butters od Labella (njam! haha), Maybelline colour tatoo kremasto sjenilo za oci, spuzvica iz Jadranskog mora (koju redoviti koristim pri njezi lica!), te jedan "impulzivan buy": Plidenta kaladont za zube: Bio je na akciji! hihi

Nadam se da ste uzivali u ovom beauty haul-u, te da vas je malo inspirirao :)

Ukoliko ste zainteresirani za recenziju bilo kojeg od ovih proizvoda, javite mi to u komentarima i biti ce napravljena za vas :)

Ne zaboravite, druzimo se svakodnevno na facebook-u, pa ukoliko niste jos, potrazite me tamo, posaljite mi svoj request! :)

Biti ce mi drago!

Velika pusa iz Italije,

Croatia Beauty Products Haul: L'Occitane, Lush, DM...

Another haul video is uploaded...

...on my channel!

This time, it's all about the beauty products I picked up, during my recent trip to Croatia!

It was requested by a number of you, on my FORMSPRING, to show you in a haul video, all the goodies that I got, while I was in Croatia for Easter.

I did return to Italy, with a bag or two, full of new beauty products that I was looking forward to try out!

Most of the things that I got are from DM (Drogerie Markt), my favourite drugstore of all times (unfortunately, I don't have it close to where I live here in Italy... :( So every time I go to Croatia, I go crazzzyyy at DM and buy half a store, lol).

In this haul I'm also showing you some great products that I got at L'Occitane (and those are already at the top of my faves list!!!), and my Lush MUST- HAVES that I've repurchased (probably for the 100th time!!!)

Check out my Croatia Beauty Products Haul video here:

& here are all of the products, gathered for this video:

I was happy to be able to get my hands on some of the Bourjois best- sellers!
Where I live in Italy, it's impossible to get Bourjois :(
Other than that, I stock up on some of the brands exclusive to DM, such as Balea and Alverde.

I hope you enjoyed watching this beauty haul!

If you'd like to see a review on any of these products, please, let me know!

You can leave me your requests in the comment's section, under this blog post, or, just leave it to me on my Formspring!, where I'm usually answering all your questions! :)

Have a beautiful day!

xoxo Sonja

Essence Studio Nails Nail Fashion Sticker Review

Here is a quick review of the essence nail fashion stickers!

These are really easy & simple to apply & can make your regular manicure a bit more special & trendy if you add a cool print to just a few of your nails!

Just like I did

(see the pic bellow)

I got mine in a two different designs: 

• 01 Cool Cover! (the cheetah print)
• 07 All or Nothing! (stripes)

If you apply these properly, they will last you up to five days!

Here is what you need to do:

1. Be sure that your natural nails are clean & greaseless (therefor avoid the hand & nail cream), if necessary push back cuticles.
2. Select correct size strip for each nail.
3. Apply the predecorated fashion stickers onto your nails- important: place rounded edge against cuticle line, but still leave a little space between cuticles and nail fashion sticker.
4. Press sticker onto nail while flatten the surface through gentle rubbing
5. Smooth excess over nail edge. Gentle file off excess of the sticker with the nail file- ready!

Your nail stickers can easily be removed by peeling them off, just like any sticker.

A tip for a shiny finish: Seal the design with a clear top coat.

These stickers are also applicable on artificial nails, gels and acrylics.

Depending on your personal preference and the look you want to acheive, you can apply these to all your 10 nails, or just to several ones, of your choice.

I choose to apply these stickers only on my ring fingers, just to "spice up" a bit, my regular manicure.

I combined the cheetah print stickers with S-he Stylezone nail polish (availaable at DM drugstores) in shade #230.

I think the combination looks pretty good, but it would also look brilliant with brown nail polish (I'm thinking, Chanel 505 Particuliere), black, or neutral colour nail polish (O.P.I. hopelessly in love)

Overall I'm really happy with these stickers!

Have you ever tried these stickers? If so, which brand?

Which design is your favourite?

I personally think the cheetah print one is so cute, but the stripy one looks cool too!
