Cheaper Alternatives to Real Techniques & Sigma "Sigmax" Brushes!




Hi guys!

Today's post is beauty related and I know a lot of you have been waiting on this review! :)
So, finally, here it is!
I got these brushes from T-mart web store this past summer, so I've had them for a good couple of months now, I was able to properly test them out before bringing you this review!

As you can tell from the pics, these brushes are the dupes for the Real Techniques make up brushes!
These are also a cheaper alternatives to the RT brushes, because, at the retail price of only 7.29€ (+ FREE SHIPPING!), you'll get the whole set of 5 face brushes!


from left to right:
highlighter/concealer brush
liquid foundation brush
stippling brush
powder foundation brush
angled/contouring brush




These brushes, I must say, have amazed me!
Because they're so inexpensive, I really didn't have high expectations, but the quality of the hair fibres is awesome and I honestly couldn't be happier with these brushes!

The only negative point I'd give them is the quality of the handles, because two of them arrived broken (the black plastic part detached from the electric blue metal part- I guess because it wasn't handled with care during the shipping!), so I had to glue them back together with a superglue (so far- so good!).

Other than that, as I've said, the bristles are really superior quality and these brushes have completely transformed my makeup routine (making the whole process of applying makeup more fun!)





You can get your own set of these 5 brushes here!

Here is how I use them:



I use the round tip brush to apply my liquid foundations, or BB creams!
It blends the product into my skin perfectly :)

Similar brush, but a little bit more narrow/pointy towards the tip...I use it to apply my highlighter and/or my concealers!

This slightly angled brush I use for applying a bronzer and I find it's perfect for contouring :)

This next brush is pretty much the same as the one on the pic above, only it's not angled. I use it to apply my compact foundations/ powdery consistency products!

Last, but not least, is a stippling brush!
I don't use it as often to apply my foundations (but it works well for that, especially if you're going for a more natural effect!), as lately I've been using it more for a subtle application of my blusher!

Lijep pozdrav svima!

Danas vam donosim jednu zanimljivu "beauty" recenziju!
Znam da vec mnogi iscekujete ovaj blog post i da sam ga obecala napraviti jos ovog ljeta, ali prije detaljne recenzije ipak sam zeljela temeljito isprobati proizvode kako bih dosla do zakljucka o njima :)

Radi se o ovom setu od pet makeup kistova koji su vrlo slicni Real Techniques kistovima!

Set imam vec dobrih par mjeseci i koristim se ovim kistovima svakodnevno.
Zaista su me odusevili i cijenom, a prije svega kvalitetom!

Buduci da set od 5 kistova za lice kosta samo 7,29€ (+ besplatni troskovi postarine!), iskreno nisam imala velika ocekivanja, stoga me je odlicna kvaliteta ovih kistova jako ugodno iznenadila i jednostavno odusevila!
Posebno mi se svidja kvaliteta dlake od koje su kistovi napravljeni, dok same drske nisu toliko dobro napravljene (meni su naime dvije stigle ostecene- vjerojatno u slanju- i morala sam ih ponovno zalijepiti, buduci da se crni plasticni dio drske odljepio od metalnog dijela!...za sad se dobro drze, ali morati cu biti opreznija pri pranju!)

Vjerojatno cete morati i nesto duze cekati na isporuku (ja sam cekala par tjedana), ali, oboruzajte se strpljenjem i vjerujte mi, isplatiti ce vam se!

Set se sastoji od:

- kista za nanosenje tekuce podloge, ili BB kreme
- kista za nanosenje iluminatora i korektora
- kista za nanosenje pudera u kamenu
- ukosenog kista za konturiranje
- kista za "stippling", famoznu "bockalicu"


Set mozete naruciti ovdje!
Pogledajte ostalu ponudu Tmart web ducana.

Video recenziju i demonstraciju kako ja koristim ove kistove prilikom svakodnevnog nanosenja makeup-a, pogledajte ovdje!

Nadam se da vam je ova recenzija bila korisna, a ukoliko imate kakvih dodatnih pitanja u vezi ovih kistova, ne ustrucavajte se pitati!

I was enjoying every second of it, especially when I was staying in my hometown in Croatia :)
These pics were taken at Kraljevica- Bakarac- Bakar, as we were spending the day at the beach in that area.
We like going to Uvala Scott in Kraljevica at the beach, and, on our way back, we stopped at Bakarac and Bakar, to take some cool pics of the sunset and film my ootd video!

What can I say other than: "Summer I miss you already, I wish you last all year round!"

Lijep pozdrav svima!

U danasnjem blog postu prisjecam se ljeta koje je zaista proletjelo, ove godine jos brze nego inace! Vjerojatno zbog toga sto nismo bas niti imali dugo, toplo ljeto, pa smo hvatali svaki suncani dan i nastojali upiti svaku zraku sunca!

Slicice iz ovog posta nastale su na lokaciji Kraljevica- Bakarac- Bakar :)

U Kraljevici smo proveli dan na plazi, zalazak sunca uhvatili smo u Bakarcu, a pored Bakra, na putu kuci, snimili smo jos par ootd slicica i lijepu panoramu gradica!

Video zalaska sunca i ootd, ukoliko niste jos, pogledajte ovdje!

Vrlo "casual" varijanta, udoban outfit, ukrasen ponekim "statement piece" asesoarom.
Iz ovog Zarinog boyfriend fit jeans-a, ovog ljeta nisam izlazila, pogotovo u prohladnijim ljetnim vecerima, ili kisnim danima (koji su nazalost, bili cesti!).

Hvala svima sto ste svratili, citamo se opet uskoro sa novim OOTD postom!

How to Wear a Skater Skirt? (Outfit Idea # 01) "Vintage Traveller"






Hi guys!


This look is created in collaboration with SonMia Design italian free spirit brand of graphic T-shirts.
At the beginning of this Fall season, we started a collaboration, and they kindly sent me some of their cool tees to review & promote!
I love my graphic tees, because they're very versatile and can be dressed up and dressed down :)
In these pics, I'm wearing my "I Can Fly" graphic tee, paired with a skater skirt, beautiful floral crown and this cool mini bag...I love how the outfit turned out!
And, thanks to my Dad's old suitcases, I do look like some vintage traveller :)
















For this shoot, I decided not to use a self tanner, but to embrace my natural skin colour (#workwithwhatyougot) and to try and promote pale skin as something that can be beautiful & attractive! 
I'm done feeling self conscious when it comes to my skin colour!
(Self tanning is fun, and I will write a review about one of my fave self tanners soon- because you guys asked me to, but as long as you know that you're naturally beautiful- no matter your shape, size or a skin colour- just the way you are!)

We were filming in Croatia, and the photography credits go to: Stile Italia


T-SHIRT: "I Can Fly" model by SonMia Design Italian Free Spirit

BELT: H&M
SHOES: Bershka

Lijep pozdrav svima!


Ovaj styling koji vam danas predstavljam nastao je u suradnji sa SonMia Design Italian Free Spirit modnim brandom, sa kojima sam pocetkom ove jeseni zapocela suradnju!
Oni su mi ljubazno poslali par njihovih modela T-shirta za recenziju i outfit postove.

O toj suradnji vec sam pricala, a ukoliko niste jos sa time upoznati, mozete video najavu iste pogledati ovdje:





U ovom prvom outfit postu u suradnji sa SonMia Design brandom, pokazala sam vam jedan od nacina kako nositi popularnu "skater" suknjicu!

T-shirt majica sa zanimljivim printom dobro se uklapa u svaku odjevnu kombinaciju, pa ju mozete nositi na vrlo sportski nacin, a isto tako i uz posebnije odjevne kombinacije!
Zbog toga je bijeli T-shirt sa cool printom jedan od mojih must-have odjevnih predmeta tijekom cijele godine :)

Zahvaljujuci vec pomalo "starinskim" koferima moga tate, i ovoj prekrasnoj cvjetnoj kruni iz H&M-a, ovaj photo shooting poprimio je neku "vintage" notu, a ako uzmemo u obzir i moju bijelu put, osjecala sam se kao neka putnica iz proslosti, sa pocetka proslog stoljeca! hihi
Namjerno sam odlucila ne koristiti se sredstvom za samotamnjenje (iako bi jedna recenzija o mojem omiljenom proizvodu za samotamnjenje uskoro mogla "pasti"- jer ste me vi to zatrazili!), zeljela sam barem pokusati prihvatiti svoju blijedu put i osjecati se dobro u "vlastitoj kozi"! 
Mislim da je ta odluka bila pun pogodak i da se moja izrazito bijela boja koze dobro uklopila u samu temu ovog shootinga :)

Sto vi o tome mislite?

Samotamnjenje jest zabavno i mozda nam se uz preplanulu boju puti cini da imamo vise samopouzdanja i da smo privlacniji, ali prije svega trebamo nauciti voljeti sebe onakvima kakvi prirodno jesmo, jer takvi smo najljepsi, zar ne? ;)

Ukoliko ste zainteresirani vidjeti styling video u kojem vam prikazujem dva nacina na koji volim nositi "skater" suknjice, kliknite ovdje!

Ako su vam se svidjele SonMia Design majice iz moje video najave i ovog posta, te zelite naruciti nesto iz njihove kolekcije, trenutnu ponudu mozete pogledati ovdje, a vas izbor javite mi na slijedeci e-mail: trenchcollection@libero.it

Kao fotografa moram pohvaliti svestranog Stile Italia 




Nadam se da vam se svidio ovaj outfit post!
Ocekujem vase komentare :)
