OOTD Korean Vegan Skincare (Ad)
8 Jul 2024
I am a big fan of Korean skincare in general. You'll find many reviews of Korean products on my blog. OOTD Beauty is a brand I wasn't familiar with, but as soon as I read their ingredients list, I thought those were the kind of formulas that I would love. And I was right. There isn't a single product I have tried that I didn't like.
Review: Vegreen Nature Mucin Serum and Tea Tree Gel Cream
15 Feb 2023
Vegreen is Korean skin care brand that focuses on natural ingredients with eco-friendly design. I love Korean skin care in general and I had a feeling I would love these products, because the ingredients sounded perfect for what I usually like.
Review: Geek & Gorgeous 101 Stress Less Serum and A-Game5 Retinal Serum
13 Jan 2023
Geek & Gorgeous is skin care brand that offers a lot of active ingredients without the necessary fragrances, dyes or drying alcohols. Creator of the brand was battling acne. I find this brand so interesting, because it has very affordable prices, yet offers really nice formulas with active ingredients that actually work. In skin care is not about fancy packaging and good smelly stuff anymore. Most of consumers are more and more informed on ingredients and are choosing based on that.
Review: Nø Cosmetics No Make Up 120H Liquid Hydrator
16 Aug 2022
Nø Cosmetics is skin care brand from Germany. It must have gained quite a lot of popularity as it's now sold in most drugstores in Germany and Austria. I have seen it in Austrian Bipa store, liked the ingredients list and have decided to try it out.
Review: Caudalie Vinosource-Hydra Products
9 Sept 2021
Vinosource range from Caudalie has been recently revamped with new design and more recyclable packaging. I have to say the new pink design is lovely. Caudalie is known for grapes as one of the main ingredients in their ranges. I remember their Beauty Elixir water being iconic back in the days and every makeup artist used it.
Review: Uriage Barriederm-CICA Daily Serum, Age Protect Muti-Action Intensive Serum and SVR [Pepti]Biotic Regenerating Smoothing Matt Gel
29 Jun 2021
I've been experimenting so much with skin care lately. It's just one of those things you get more into as you get older. No makeup looks good, if you don't have your skin care in check. With age also comes the need for more active ingredients that can actually help with ageing signs and I've been exploring three different ranges from Uriage and SVR in the past months. I have to say all of the were a hit.
Review: Skintegra Infrared
19 May 2021
Skintegra is one of those brands that I got introduced to through my fellow skin care bloggers. They've been raving about their formula. It's Croatian skin care brand that offers vegan and cruelty free products. They believe in mild and consistent skin care. I was ordering some other products and decided to try one from Skintegra as well. When it comes to skin care I love serums as I feel they contribute the most and is where I like to invest my money in. So I got Skintegra Infrared serum.
Review: DermaluxLash Growth Serum
17 Sept 2019
I was lucky enough to have won DermaluxLash serum in a giveaway. I have never before tried any of such lash growth serums, but I was always curious. Usually, the price was the one that threw me off. These products are not cheap, but let me tell you, I am planning on buying it again. That's how good it was.
Review: Blithe Patting Water Pack Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey and Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum
22 Oct 2018
I haven't heard of Blithe as a brand before, but when I was researching these products, I found that they are pretty popular in terms of winning some beauty awards. Their page is Korean, so I can't read it. Basically, it's supposed to be a natural brand that doesn't test on animals. Their main goal is to prevent visible aging signs caused by pollution. Ingredients are supposed to be pure and packaged into modern formulas. Because it's also sold in Sephora, I would categorize it as high end skin care brand.
Jolse often times has products that they give away for review purposes and you can apply. If you get chosen, they send the product to you and you write a review for your blog. I find it to be a great way of discovering new Korean skin care that I wouldn't notice otherwise.
Review: Plantae Rose Hip Fruit + Seed Serum
12 Jul 2016
Hey Beauties!
Plantae is new brand on Slovenian market. It's organic skin care brand from New Zealand. Their products have BioGro certificate which is comparable to European EcoCERT. Every products contains at least 95% certified organic ingredients. Other ingredients are also of natural origin without GMOs or other harmful ingredients. You can read more about the brand here.
Plantae has three collections. Lush Leaves to refine and refresh oily or blemished skin, Flower Power to balance and brighten normal or combination skin and Berry Bliss to renew and replenish dry or damaged skin.
I got their Rose Hip Fruit and Seed Serum for dry to damaged skin from their Berry Bliss line. Serums are probably my favorite skin care products besides AHAs and BHAs. You could easily live off of serum and forget moisturizer, if you have good serum.
It comes in dark green bottle with dropper. Their whole range is white and green with simplistic design that I like. In it is 30 grams of products and it costs 44.90$ or 30.28€.
It's concentrated facial serum with organic supercritical extracts from the whole rose hip berry.
Dropper has a curved tip which is probably meant for you to hold it straight and you don't need to bend it in order to get product out. I found it a bit odd in the beginning, but I got used to it.
Packaging is definitely secure and there's no spillage. It also has darker bottle to prevent damage of ingredients.
Key ingredients of this serum are rose hip, rosemary, rose and sandalwood.
I have already used rose hip oil before and loved it. It's probably the most versatile oil to use on anyone's face. This serum also contains organic rose hip oil which is very rich in antioxidants, which include a lot of vitamin C, lycopene and cartenoids. It has high concentration of omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids which improve skin firmness and elasticity.
It also contains organic steam distilled rosa damascena flower oil which gently firms and strengthens the collagen-elastin network due to cytophylactic properties. Rose oil produces mild toning and astringent effect on facial capillaries.
Organic rosemary supercritical extract is protective antioxidant with repairing and anti-irritant properties and it also tones, firms and revitalizes the skin.
It has a very natural ingredients list with a lot of good plant extracts.
It should improve texture, tone and luminosity for lucent, glowing skin. It's ideal for dry skin types, but other skin types will also benefit from it.
It also claims to increase human skin fibroblast in culture by at least 200%. I hat to google what fibroblasts are and they are those cells that are responsible for generating connective tissue and allowing the skin to recover from injury.
For some reason I expected it to be thinner and lighter, but it's actually like a diluted face oil. I would say almost a mix of oil and regular serum consistency.
If you've ever tried pure rose hip oil, you'll know that it has a fairly strong yellow color and so does this serum. It's not as thick and greasy as pure rose hip oil. It's a bit runnier and it's fairly lightweight on the skin. It leaves your skin shiny, but doesn't seem to stain it or my pillow either.
It has a much more pleasant scent than pure rose hip oil. It's definitely more of a herbal plant scent with slight sweetness. If you're used to artificial skin care scents, you'll have to get used to this one. I though it was a bit strong in the beginning, but then I got used to it.
It soaks into the skin nicely, but still leaves greasy shiny layer on top like thicker versions of dry oils.
I've been using this for a little over month and a half. I apply two to three drops in the evening on my entire face. My skin has been looking really well these past months. Apart from some hormonal breakouts, it's been on its best behavior. I think I can definitely blame it on this serum.
It really nourishes and moisturizes my skin through the night. I also felt like my skin was a lot softer in the morning. my favorite benefit that I've noticed since using it is that it clears up my skin and keeps it bright. I am a picker, and I love to pick on my pimples. When I have pimple scars, this serum noticeably reduces the scarring, which supports fibroblast theory.
Even though it is fairly greasy, almost a thinner oil, I still love it for summer. Because the vitamin C brightens up my complexion and I believe rose hip oil to be great for sun burns. It also feels very calming and not one bit irritating.
I think that oily skins might want to be careful with serum, especially in the summer, because it's more like a lightweight oil. For every other skin type, this is going to be amazing. I would definitely recommend it to those with dry skin and hyper pigmentation.
To conclude, I really like this serum. It's definitely more of a light oil than regular thinner serums. I felt like it really made my skin nourished, plump and all in all better looking. I loved that it helped to heal my pimple scars quicker and because of vitamin C it's great for summer and brightening up skin complexion. It has natural, but fairly strong scent. If you're conscious about what you're putting on your skin, you'll love it. A lot of organic natural ingredients. Highly recommend it to anyone with dry, damaged and normal or combination skin. For oily skins I can't say how it will be, weather or not it would be too oily for your liking.
I also have a code for you - "adjustingbeauty" and with it you can get 10% off your order here.
And there's more. You can also win some of their skin care products by entering their giveaway here. One of the prices is also this serum. With some luck you'll be the one who gets it.
Plantae je nova znamka na slovenskem trgu. Gre za znamko, ki izdeluje organske izdelke za nego kože in izvira iz Nove Zelandije. Njihovi izdeli imajo BioGro certifikat, ki je primerljiv z evropskim EcoCERT. Vsak njihov izdelek vsebuje vsaj 95% certificiranih organskih sestavin. Tudi preostale sestavine so naravnega izvora brez gensko spremenjenih organizmov ali drugih škodljivih sestavin. Več o Plantae si lahko preberete tukaj.
Plantae ima tri kolekcije. Lush Leaves osveži in obnovi mastno in nečisto kožo, Flower Power uravnoteži normalno in kombinirano kožo in Berry Bliss obnovi in dopolni suho in poškodovano kožo.
Dobila sem Serum iz plodov in semen šipka za suho in poškodovano kožo iz Berry Bliss kolekcije. Serumi so verjetno moj najljubši izdelek za nego kože, poleg AHA in BHA kislin. Vsekakor bi lahko živela samo od uporabe serumov, saj so ti tako dobro hranljivi, da včasih niti ne bi potrebovala kreme.
Serum se nahaja v temno zeleni steklenici s kapalko. Celotna linija ima zelo bel preprost dizajn, ki je meni všeč. V njem je 30 gramov izdelka. Cena je 30.28€.
Je koncentriran serum za obraz z organskimi izvlečki šipkovih jagod.
Kapalka je na koncu ukrivljena, da lažje dobimo izdelek ven, brez da bi nagibali kapalko. Najrej se mi je to zdelo rahlo čudno, vendar sem se hitro navadila.
Embalaža je vsekakor varno zaprta. Všeč mi je, da je temna, saj s tem preprečimo, da bi se sestavine predhodno pokvarile.
Glavne sestavine seruma so šipek, rožmarin, vrtnica in sandalovina.
V preteklosti sem že uporabljala šipkovo olje in mi je bilo izredno všeč. Za moje pojme je to najbolj vsestransko olje za vsak obraz. Tudi ta serum vsebuje organsko šipkovo olje, ki je bogato z naravnimi antioksidanti, ki vsebujejo vitamin C, likopen in karotenoide. Ima tudi visoko vsebnost omega 3, 6 in 9 maščobnih kislin, ki dajejo koži pomembne hranilne snovi in izboljšajo čvrstost in elastičnost.
Vsebuje tudi organsko parno destilirano olje iz cvetov bolgarske vrtnice, ki s svojimi citoflaktičnimi lastnostmi nežno krepi vezavo kolagena in elastina. Olje vrtnice blagodejno vpliva na tonus in obrazne kapilare.
Organski izvleček šipka je zaščitni antioksidant, ki obnavlja kožo in preprečuje draženje, hkrati pa jo utrdi in učvrsti.
Sestavine so odlične, vsebuje veliko naravnih ekstraktov.
Serum bi naj povečal celično dejavnost, izboljšal strukturo kože in poskrbel za mladosten zdrav sijaj. Čeprav je idealen za dehidrirano kožo, je ta serum vsekakor primeren tudi za druge tipe kože.
Naj bi tudi povečal število fibroblastov za 200%. Morala sem poiskati kaj so fibroblasti in sicer so to celice odgovorne za ustvarjanje vezivnega tkiva in omogočajo koži, da se hitreje obnovi po poškodbi.
Pričakovala sem, da bo serum bolj lahek, ampak je bolj kot ne razredčeno olje. Jaz bi trdila, da je mešanica med čistim oljem in navodno konsistenco večine serumov.
Če še nikoli niste uporabljali čistega šipkovega olja, potem verjetno ne veste, da ima kar močno rumeno barvo. Tudi ta serum ima tako barvo. Ni gost in zelo masten kot čisto šipkovo olje. Je malo bolj tekoč in relativno lahkoten na koži. Vseeno na koži pusti masten sijaj. Meni ne obarva kože, prav tako pa ne blazine med spanjem.
Ima občutno boljši vonj kot čisto šipkovo olje. Vsekakor je vonj bolj zeliščen oziroma naraven z rahlo sladkobo. Če ste navajeni umetno odišavljenih izdelkov za nego obraza, se boste morali navaditi na ta vonj. Meni se je na začetku zdel precej močan, ampak sem se navadila.
Lepo se vpije v kožo, ampak vseeno za sabo pusti sijoč videz. Imam občutek, da je finiš posoben suhim oljem za obraz.
Serum sem uporabljala več kot mesec in pol. Zvečer na celoten obraz nanesem dve do tri kapljice seruma. Moja koža je bila v prejšnjem mesecu izredno lepa. Razen občasnih hormonskih mozoljev, se je obnašala pridno. Vsekakor menim, da je za to zaslužen tudi ta serum.
Preko noči moja koža postane lepo navlažena in negovana. Zjutraj je koža tudi bolj mehka. Moja najljubša korist tega seruma je ta, da mi ohranja kožo občutno bolj čisto in sijočo. Sama zelo rada stiskam mozolje in večkrat na ta račun dobim kakšno brazgotino. Pri tem serumu sem imela občutek, da so se z uporabo te brazgotine občutno hitreje zacelile, kar podpira fibroblast trditev.
Čeprav je precej masten, skoraj kot razredčeno olje, ga vseeno obožujem tudi za poletje. Ker vsebuje vitamin C posvetli kožo in menim, da je šipkovo olje odlično za sončne opekline. Deluje pomirjujoče in nikakor ne iritira kože.
Vsi z mastno kožo morate biti previdni s tem serumom, sploh poleti, ker je bolj kot ne razredčeno olje. Vsekakor pa ga priporočam za vse, ki imajo suho kožo in pigmentne madeže.
Če zaključim, serum mi je zelo všeč. Vsekakor gre bolj za lahko olje ne pa lahki serum. Mojo kožo je odlično nahranil, jo naredil prožno in na sploh je izgleda bolje. Zelo mi je bilo všeč, da mi je pomagal hitreje zaceliti brazgotine od stiskanja mozoljev in zaradi vitamina C je odličen za poletje in posvetlitev kože. Ima naraven, a precej močan vonj. Če gledate na to kaj dajete na kožo, vam bo ta serum zagotovo všeč. Ima velik nabor organskih naravnih sestavin. Vsekakor ga zelo priporočam za vse s suho, poškodovano in normalno do mešano kožo. Za mastno kožo ne morem trditi, kako se bo obnesel in ali bo preveč masten za vaš okus.

Review: Avon Anew Essential Youth Maximising Serum and Anew Nutri-advanced Eye Cream
16 May 2016
Hey Beauties!
I have a lot of Avon products, but I've never had anything from the Anew line, which is in my opinion a bit more anti-wrinkle targeted as well as pricier. Today's reviews are of a serum and eye cream.
Avon Anew Essential Youth Maximising Serum
It's a youth maximising serum that should help to bring the best out of a cream that you put on top, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and make skin hydrated and firm. It's a lightweight texture that soaks into the skin quickly.
They also promise you visible results and after three days skin is suppose to be better looking and has a nice glow, after one week it should smooth the appearance of fine lines and make visibly smoother skin in general and after two weeks it should minimize wrinkles and any discoloration as well as make skin firmer.
The packaging and design is gorgeous in my opinion. It's a rose gold metallic paper box with gold details. Tube is transparent plastic with metallic rose gold inside and gold details. The prettiest combination possible.
Pump is silver and it works fine. One pump gives you enough product for the whole face. I use one and a half pumps, because I also apply it on my neck.
The regular price of it is 27€ (currently it's on offer for 22.50€) and in it is 30 ml of product.
It's a very smooth liquid gel (almost slippery texture), orange tinted and it spreads on the skin with the utmost ease. It's really very smooth and it soaks into the skin quickly. At first it leaves behind a slightly sticky layer, but then it becomes matte. I love the texture of it.
I am also really in love with the scent and that doesn't happen often, since I'm not one of those people that likes scented skin care products. But this smells somewhat like a sweet mandarin.
I've been using it for about a month and a half (and some of my other family members have also been stealing it from me) and it's on its last breathe. I'm kind of sad. That just shows you how much I like it, because I very rarely finish skin care products (except for creams).
I'm 27 years old and I don't really have a lot of wrinkles yet (fingers crossed). I have fine lines around my eyes and slightly more prominent smile line.
As far as the smoothing and minimizing of wrinkles goes, I didn't notice any visible difference. I like this serum so much because of it's hydrating effect. It really did help with my skin retaining some moisture and not feeling heavy on the skin. I also like it as a base for face creams, because it stays slightly sticky and creams seem to really stick on it and don't move. It's a very lightweight serum that is surprisingly also a bit soothing and great for my sensitive skin. It has completely replaced my must have jojoba serum. I guess it also keeps my skin firm, but as I've said before, I don't have problems with that yet.
Avon Anew Nutri-advanced Eye Cream
This is supposed to be very rich eye cream for all ages. I guess this is like a universal first step eye cream for those that need hydrating.
As with the serum, this one also has gorgeous transparent pot with silver details.
Top has nice plastic beige shade with silver ring around it. I also like that it's very small and travel friendly.
Regular price of it is 17€ (currently it's on offer for 11.90€) and in it is 15 ml of product.
It's a very rich and thick beige cream. It's probably one of the richest eye cream that I've ever owned. I love thick creams, but at first I was a bit hesitant. It was kind of hard to move it around the eye area and it still is. You need to apply good amount of it and then slowly break it down with the warmth of your fingers and tap it into the skin.
Once you massage it into the skin it becomes smoother, almost a bit greasier and it spreads nicely.
A little warning though. It says on the packaging to gently massage it around the eye area and then tap it until it absorbs. I wouldn't recommend you to massage it into the skin for a really long time or with hard pressure, because then it can start peel off and it's impossible to get it all off.
I recommend you to gently massage it for a few second and then just tap it a little and be done.
At first it stays slightly sticky, but then it absorbs into the skin and creates a very smooth layer on top of the skin.
This won't minimize your fine lines, but it will hydrate them a bit and mostly create a smooth surface for you to apply makeup on top of it. It almost feels like a silicon primer has been added to it.
It has an artificial scent, which is faint and I don't smell it once I apply it on the skin.
I really like this serum. It might not seem like much, but I love a good serum that hydrates and soothes the skin and this one does just that. I also really like smooth lightweight texture of it as well as nice scent that feels luxurious whenever I apply it. Eye cream looked very promising because of the rich texture, but it needs a bit of work and getting used to applying it. I think it should have been slightly more slippery or greasy and it would be easier to spread as well. This might be good for those that don't like greasy eye creams and want a smooth matte base. I highly recommend serum to anyone that wants something lightweight underneath their creams. I don't like eye cream as much and would not repurchase it, because I find the texture hard to work with.

Imam kar veliko Avon izdelkov, ampak še nikoli prej nisem preizkusila nič iz njihovih Anew linij, ki se meni zdijo namenjene bolj koži s problemi in gubami, prav tako pa gre za dražje izdelke. Današnja ocena je o serumu in kremi za oči.
Avon Anew Essential serum za pomlajevanje obraza
To je serum za pomlajevanje obraza, ki bi naj okrepil pomlajevalno moč krem za obraz, ublažil videz gub, koži povrnil bolj čvrst videz ter jo navlažil. Prav tako naj bi bil lahkoten in se hitro vpil v kožo.
Avon obljublja vidne rezultate in sicer po treh dneh naj bi bila polt izboljšana in koži bi se naj povrnil sijoč videz, po enem tednu naj bi se ublažil videz tankih linij in opazno zgladila koža in po dveh tednih naj bi se ublažil videz gub in razbarvanj kože ter naj bi se obnovila čvrstost kože.
Embalaža in dizajn sta po mojem mnenju čudovita. Gre za roza zlato kovinsko škatlico z zlatimi detajli. Steklenička je prozorna plastična s kovinskim roza zlatim dizajnom in zlatimi detajli. Najlepša možna kombinacija.
Pumpica je siva in dobro deluje. En pritisk da dovolj izdelka za obraz. Jaz uporabim en in pol pritiska, ker nanašam tudi na vrat.
Redna cena izdelka je 27€ (trenutno ga lahko dobite za 22.50€) in vsebuje 30 ml izdelka.
Je zelo gladek tekoč gel, oranžno obarvan in z lahkoto se razporedi po koži. Res izredno gladek in hitro se vpije v kožo. Najprej za sabo pusti rahlo lepljiv občutek, ki pa kasneje postane popolnoma mat. Tekstura mi je res zelo všeč.
Obožujem tudi vonj seruma, kar se pri meni redko zgodi, ker nisem ljubiteljica odišavljenih izdelkov za nego. Vonj je nekako slakasto mandarinast.
Serum sem uporabljala mesec in pol (s tem, da so mi ga kradli tudi nekateri drugi družinski člani) in trenutno je v zadnjih zdihljajih. Sem kar malo žalostna. To je dokaz, kako zelo mi je všeč, ker sama zelo redko porabim kakšne izdelke za nego do konca (razen krem).
Stara sem 27 let in nimam ravno veliko gub - še (upajmo na najboljše). Imam majhne gubice okrog oči in bolj definirane smejalne gubice.
Nisem opazila nekih vidnih rezultatov glede glajenja in zmanjševanja gub. Serum mi je bolj všeč zaradi vlažilnega efekta. Moji koži je pomagal ohraniti vlažilen sloj, ki ni bil težek na koži. Všeč mi je tudi kot podlaga pod kremami za obraz, ker ostane rahlo lepljiv in se krema dobro prime na obraz in tam tudi ostane. Je zelo lahkoten serum in presenetljivo tudi pomirjujoč in odličen za občutljivo kožo. Trenutno je popolnoma zamenjal moj jojobin serum. Verjetno je tudi ohranil kožo bolj črvsto, čeprav kot sem prej omenila, s tem še nimam problemov.
Avon Anew Nutri-advanced krema za oči
Naj bi bila globinsko hranilna nega pri vsaki starosti. Verjetno gre za univerzalno kremo za oči kot prvi korak za vlaženje vseh tipov kože.
Kot serum ima tudi ta krema čudovito embalažo. Prozorno plastična posodica s srebrnimi detajli.
Pokrovček je plastičen in bež s srebrnim robom. Všeč mi je tudi, da je majhna embalaža, saj jo je lažje prenašati s sabo.
Redna cena izdelka je 17€ (trenutno ga lahko dobite za 11.90€) in vsebuje 15 ml izdelka.
Gre za zelo bogato in gosto bež kremo. To je verjetno najgostejša krema za oči, ki sem jo kdaj koli preizkusila. Meni osebno so zelo všeč goste kreme, vendar sem bila na začetku zaskrbljena. Težko jo je bilo premikati po obrazu in še vedno je težja za razmazanje. Najbolje je, da naneste majhno količino in jo počasi stopite s toplino prstov in potapkate v kožo.
Ko jo masirate v kožo postane bolj gladka in skoraj malo bolj oljnata. Takrat se lažje razporedi po koži.
Majhno opozorilo. Na embalaži piše, da nežno vmasirajte v kožo in potem potapkajte, dokler se popolnoma ne vpije. Ne bi vam priporočala, da jo dolgo masirate v kožo, ker se lahko začne svaljkati. Potem je te svaljke nemogoče v celoti odstraniti iz kože.
Priporočam vam, da jo res narahlo vmasirate samo nekaj sekund in nato potapkajte in končajte.
Najprej ostane malo lepljiva, ampak ko se vpije v kožo ustvari zelo gladek sloj na koži.
Krema ne bo zmanjšala videza gub, jih bo pa rahlo navlažila in ustvarila zelo gladko površino za nanašanje ličil. Skoraj se mi zdi kot da vsebuje silikonski primer.
Ima umeten vonj, ki je sicer rahel in ga sama ne voham, ko ga nanašam na kožo.
Serum mi je zelo všeč. Mogoče se ne zdi kot nekaj posebnega, ampak dober serum, ki vlaži in pomirja kožo je stalnica v moji rutini. Zelo mi je všeč tudi gladka lahkotna tekstura in seveda prijeten vonj, ki daje občutek luksuznosti med nanašanjem. Krema za oči se je na začetku zdela zelo obetavna, zaradi goste teksture, ampak se je potrebno navaditi na to in prilagoditi nanašanje. Meni se zdi, da bi morala biti malo bolj gladka in mazljiva, mogoče celo bolj oljnata. Tako bi se lažje nanašala. Krema je mogoče bolj primerna za tiste, ki ne marajo sijočih mastnih krem in si želijo gladke mat podlage okrog oči. Serum vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki iščejo kaj lahkega za pod kremo. Krema za oči mi ni všeč in je ne bi znova kupila, ker se mi zdi težja za uporabo zaradi teksture.

Review: Kerastase Reflection Fluide Chroma Riche
12 Mar 2015
Hey Beauties!
It's been a long time since I bought some new hair products and I've been using and creating my opinion on them for a long time. Today is another edition of Kerastase product to my collection. When I chose this one, I was looking for some products that would stay in the hair after washing and would maybe give me more softness and moisture. I felt the urge to purchase Kerastase Reflection Fluide Chroma Riche. It's luminous softening essence for highlighted or very sensitised color-treated hair.
It's a plastic bottle with a bright fuchsia pink color. You get 125 ml of product and it costs around 24€. I would say look for a discount. I got it for 16.84€ on Look Fantastic. They always have good discounts.
The pump works good and you can control the amount you want to squeeze out. The fluid never spils or anything like that.
The Reflection range is for sensitized and colored hair. The range is suppose to maintain the color vibrancy of your hair. This fluid it's supposed to be luminous softening leave in treatment for dry highlighter or color-treated hair. It should detangle the hair, provide easier styling, protect from external aggression, maximize the radiance and shine of color, leave hair softer and supple to the touch and give you UV filter and color protection. I love multi-task products.
Here's the ingredients list.
Fluide has a very nice fruity smell. It's very runny, greasy and transparent. It feels like a mixture of oil and serum. I apply one pump to most of my hair - now that they are shorter. Before I used one and a half pump.
The product glides on the hair like a dream and once the hair is dry it's left extremely smooth and shiny. I like to put it on damp hair and then blow dry. My hair is always shiny, but this makes them even shinier. The hair also feels very soft and nourished. Like a layer protecting the hair. No frizziness whatsoever. I wouldn't say it moisturizing and great for dry hair, but it does give you that nice smooth layer that makes the hair look vibrant and healthy looking. It also does detangle the hair, but most of such products do that anyway.
I think this product is great for styling or almost as that extra plump to your hair. It's definitely not something you desperately need, but it's a product that will make your hair very shiny, smooth and silky for those special occasions. I mean, it's not the cheapest product to be slathering it all over your hair every day?! If this would have some deeply moisturizing effect to my hair and heat protection, I would say this is my favorite product of all time. But now, it's my favorite luxury styling product that I use every now and then to make my hair look extra special.
This Reflection range still appeals to me, since I do have colored hair. If you tried any other products from this range, let me know how you liked it.
Review: Dr. Scheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Intensive Serum
29 Jan 2014
Hey Beauties!
Yet another product from my Ecco Verde purchase. This one has to be my favorite of the whole purchase. I was afraid of using oils, because my skin is combination to oily and thought that oils would just make me produce more oils or clog my pores. But then the oils are like so popular now, so I kind of decided to buy this one, which is also good for sensitive skin, like mine.

The Intensive Serum is a highly concentrated special skincare product for the soothing of sensitive skin. It effectively diminishes redness, offers lasting protection against the development of new skin irritations and strengthens its protective barrier.
Here is the ingredients list:
I really liked this serum. It's basically like an oil serum. The texture is pretty oily and somewhat opaque white. I use three drops for my entire face and neck. Now the smell. I admit it bothered me in the beginning. To me it smells like a natural smell of oil. I don't know how jojoba or schisandra smell, but the smell is very natural, therefore might be disturbing for those who like your products to smell nice. I feel like putting on olive oil, because olive oil to me also smells, and not nice. I got used to the smell, because of the benefits that I saw on my skin. Once you put the oil on the face, you have to massage it in quickly, because it completely soaks in the skin in the matter of 3 minutes. I love that. It leaves behind a slightly sticky surface, but not greasy. I can start putting on makeup or moisturizer or go to sleep without worrying of oil staining my bedding. I use it in the morning and in the evening.
My skin feels a lot more hydrated. But what I really like about it, my skin is a lot less irritated. It really does ditch the redness in my face. Skin is not irritated, or red. I even squeezed out my pimples and put this one after the cleansing and I swear it reduced the redness on the spot of that pimple. I can't say anything more than exceptional product for moisturizing without feeling greasy and the best product for sensitive or irritated skin, prone to redness.
The product comes in a glass dark bottle with dropper, so it's easy to measure the right amount of product. It contains 30 ml of serum and costs 11.89 €, which I think it's a fair price for a serum. It also lasts a really long time, since you literally need only two to three drops.
Now I saw that their should also be a soothing moisturizing care in this range - like a cream. I think I should try it. If anyone has tried it, please let me know.
Ecco Verde Purchase
27 Jan 2014
Hey Beauties!
I had the opportunity to buy some products from Ecco Verde and I grabbed the chance, right away. I admit I have not been buying from them before, but I did have my eye on their online store before. When I saw that they had the entire section for neurodermatitis, I couldn't hide my excitement.
Ok, little story from the past for anyone who's interested. Who's not, skip this section. Basically I was diagnosed with neurodermatitis when I was 4 years old. It was difficult in that time, because there was no cure, except cream full of corticosteroids, which are pretty bad for you long term and actually make skin thinner. My problem was I was allergic to everything form food, to dust, animals so on. I scratched my skin so much, that it started bleeding. So I constantly had scabs. I won't go into detail that of course I had a very low self-esteem because of that. I did get a new doctor in seventh grade and a new cream, which changed my life. As you may see from the photos now, my skin looks great (well, you have nothing to compare to - but believe me it beats the scabs!).
So... My skin is combination to oily and still very sensitive. My allergy still shows in forms of irritations and occasional red spots on my skin. Many products don't work for me, because they irritate my skin and I get redness and sometimes even itchiness. BUT, I have for you some products that did work for my sensitive skin and I would love to share my experience with those products with you.
Ecco Verde gave me free hands to choose which ever products I wanted and I chose Pai Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, Martina Gebhardt Sheabutter Tonic and Dr. Sheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Intensive Serum. As a little treat I also bought Badgers Sleep Balm, because I do have trouble sleeping a lot of times.
Pai Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser is amazing. I especially love the smell of it and the feeling that it leaves on the skin.
Martina Gebhardt Sheabutter Tonic is very hydrating. Not greasy at all, as shea butter might suggests.
Dr. Sheller Jojoba Oil & Schisandra Soothing Intensive Serum is my favorite products of them all. I never used oils before and now I'm definitely not going off this one. Amazing! Especially for sensitive skin.
Badger Sleep Balm is a fun product. Don't expect it to be a sleeping pill. It's more of a fun night treatment :).
I really liked all of the products and will do a separate post for each, to review it in depth. I guess all I can say is, if you're interested in any of these products keep an eye on my posts.
And big thank you to Ecco Verde for letting me chose some products in their online store. I didn't even know that, but they ship to many European countries. Their delivery was very quick, I think I got it the second day. I highly recommend them. They sell natural cosmetics and body care. I have to admit they have some great brands. Oh and can I just say, finally! One Slovenian online shop that actually has Paypal as an payment option. Yes, other Slovenian online stores, this is a good example for you!
