Review: Farmasi Eye Brow Pencil in 01

Hey Beauties!

Recently I've been introduced to a new brand Farmasi, which decided that wanted to give beauty bloggers an opportunity to test some of their products. Their concept is similar to brands like Avon and Oriflame. They are Turkish based brand and offer 2000 products from makeup to skincare, body care, perfumes and more. They sell their products in 120 countries on 5 continents. 

Their production is up to the highest eco standards, they claim that the products don't contain any allergic ingredients, products also don't contain any animal based ingredients and they don't test on animals.


First product that I'll be reviewing is one that I've been using the most and really like it. It's their Eye Brow Pencil in shade 01. It comes in a classic pencil form with three different shades (light brown, dark brown and grey black). The design is matte black and it has the shade of the pencil in the bottom. It's one of those pencils that you need to sharp.
The price is 3.50€, but Farmasi members can get it for 2.80€. It doesn't say how much product it contains, but it seems to me like a regular eye brow pencil size.

01 is the lightest shade. It's grey based a bit warm toned light brown. It looks a lot more grey in the pencil. I personally love grey based brow products, because my natural brows have a lot of grey in it. This is also a grey based brown, but it's also a bit warm toned, which goes great with my warm hair color. I will say this might be too dark for someone who has blond hair and brows for that matter. 

I like the fact that the pencil is more on the hard side, but it's also nicely pigmented. You can easily get the color on the brows and it stays on me for the whole day. 


Here are the ingredients. 



I actually compared it to my favorite eye brow pencil, which is Catrice Eye Brow Stylist in 020 Date With Ash-ton. This was my favorite pencil until now. In comparison to Farmasi, Catrice is darker and more grey than Farmasi. Farmasi has a bit more of that warm brown tone to it, which actually goes really nice with my hair color. If you have cooler hair and skin tone, you might like Catrice better, but I prefer Farmasi shade. In terms of formula, they are both very similar, semi hard, good pigmentation and long lasting color. 


On the left side is Catrice and on the right side is Farmasi eye brow pencil. 


On the left side is my natural brow without any product and on the right side I used Farmasi eye brow pencil. As you can see the warm undertone is barely noticeable on the brows. You can see the difference when you compare it to other brow pencils.





If you have fairly light brows and warm skin tone or hair, this is the perfect color for you. I also think the price is really good as it's the product. It's pigmented and long lasting. This has become my everyday product and I absolutely love the shade of it. If it had spooly on the other hand it would be perfect.

I also reviewed some of the other Farmasi products: Eyebrow Styling Powder, Shine Rush 2 in 1 and Kajal Secret Eyeliner Pen.



Pred kratkim sem bila seznanjena z novo blagovno znamko Farmasi, ki se je odločila, da bo dala lepotnim blogerjem priložnost testiranja njihovih izdelkov. Njihov koncept je podoben znamkam kot so Avon in Oriflame. So turška znamka, ki ponuja 200 izdelkov od  ličil do nege kože, telesa, parfumov in še veliko več. Svoje izdelke prodajajo v 120 državah na petih kontinentih.

Njihova proizvodnja dosega najvišje eko standarde, trdijo da njihovi izdelki ne vsebujejo alergijskih sestavin, da izdelki ne vsebujejo sestavin živalskega izvora in ne testirajo na živalih.

Prvi izdelek, ki ga bom ocenjevala je izdelek, ki ga veliko uporabljam in mi je zelo všeč. To je Farmasi svinčnik za obrvi v odtenku 01. Gre za klasičen svinčnik, ki je na voljo v treh odtenkih (svetlo rjav, temno rjav in sivkasto črn). Dizajn svinčnika je mat črn in na koncu svinčnika je odtenek, ki je v svinčniku. Gre za svinčnik, ki ga je potrebno ošiliti.

Cena je 3.50€, ampak Farmasi člani ga lahko dobijo za 2.80€. Nikjer ne piše koliko izdelka vsebuje, ampak meni izgleda kot velikost drugih navadnih svinčnikov.

01 je najsvetlejši odtenek. Je toplo svetlo rjav odtenek s sivim podtonom. V svinčniku izgleda veliko bolj siv. Jaz osebno imam rada izdelek za obrvi, ki imajo siv podton, ker imajo moje naravne obrvi tudi veliko sivega odtenka. Tudi ta svinčnik je s sivim podtonom, vendar je tudi precej topel odtenek, kar se odlično ujema z mojo barvo las. Moram povedati, da bo odtenek verjetno pretemen za nekoga z blond lasmi in zelo svetlimi obrvmi.

Všeč mi je da je svinčnik bolj trd, ampak dobro pigmentiran. Nanašanje barve na obrvi je preprosto in barva ostane na meni cel dan.

Tukaj so sestavine.

Primerjala sem ga z mojim najljubšim svinčnikom za obrvi, z Catrice Eye Brow Stylist v odtenku 020 Date With Ash-ton. To je bil moj najljubši svinčnik za obrvi do zdaj. V primerjavi s Farmasi je Catrice bolj siv. Farmasi ima bolj viden topel rjav podton, ki se odlično ujema z mojo barvo las. Če imate hladen podton v laseh in koži, vam bo verjetno bolj všeč Catrice, ampak meni je bolj všeč Farmasi odtenek. Glede formule sta si oba svinčnika zelo podobna, srednje trda, dobro pigmentirana in dobro obstojna.

Na levi strani je Catrice, na desni pa Farmasi svinčnik za obrvi.

Na levi strani je moja naravna obrv brez kakršnega koli izdelka, na desni strani pa sem uporabila Farmasi svinčnik za obrvi. Kot vidite ta topel podton sploh ni zelo viden na obrveh. Razlika je bolj opazna pri primerjavi z drugimi odtenki svinčnikov.

Če imate precej svetlo rjave obrvi in topel podton kože, potem je to perfekten odtenek za vas. Tudi cena se mi zdi precej dobra. Izdelek je pigmentiran in dobro obstojen. To je postal moj izdelek za vsakodnevno uporabo in odtenek je čisto po mojem okusu. Če bi imel svinčnik na drugistrani še krtačko za česanje obrvi, bi bil perfekten.

Več o njem in podjetju si lahko preberete tukaj. Ocenila sem tudi nekaj drugih Farmasi izdelkov: Eyebrow Styling Powder, Shine Rush 2 in 1 in Kajal Secret Eyeliner Pen.

Review: L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC Cream SPF 20 (Light)

Hey Beauties!

A while ago some of bloggers got a chance to experience L'Occitane's new Peony range and with it came a lot of free samples and this CC Cream. As you may know, I like medium to full coverage foundations and I've never been a fan of those BB, CC and what not creams. But I have to say I was surprised by how much I like this one.


The product is called Peony CC Skin Tone Perfecting Cream. I have the shade Light. It also has a broad spectrum SPF of 20. 

It says that it has a fine hydrating texture and during the application the texture transforms to create an ultra-natural finish. It should make your complexion look even and transparent, leave fresh and luminous skin tone, blur any irregularities in skin texture and complexion and  make skin comfortable and protect it from the sun. The skin should stay fresh, luminous and unified until the night. 


It comes in a very hygienic squeezable red tube. The opening is very tiny, so you can easily control the amount you want to come out. The package is small enough and very travel friendly. 



CC cream looks very white and thick. It has tiny specs inside, which I think are the particles that actually give you a bit of color and luminosity. 


When you apply it on the skin it's very white and I was surprised by that. But as soon as you start to massage it in, it turns to a very light skin like color and it almost disappears. The thickness of it makes it a joy to massage it in (if you're like me and love the feeling of a thick cream on your skin), but it quickly looks like nothing and feels very lightweight. It leaves behind a very natural luminous glow to the skin. I wouldn't even say it's glow, it just reflects the lighting really nicely. 

The coverage is very light (especially for me). It just evens out the skin tone and adds natural luminous feel to your skin. This won't cover any red patches or under eye circles, it will just give you a very sheer even skin base. 

It has a nice floral scent to it. It's not annoyingly overpowering, it just smells nice if you come really close to the place of application. 


I have to say I was surprised by this cream. I'm used to having heavy foundations on and covering every little bit of my skin. When the girl in the shop applied it on me, I went shopping with my boyfriend. Even he told me how nice my skin looks and he doesn't comment on things like that often. It felt so lightweight, which was a new feeling for me. I tried it on occasions where I wanted a very natural makeup look and I was pleased with the results. I did use concealer to conceal my under eyes and where I have a bit of redness, but I was completely fine with this luminous sheer base. 

It actually becomes more natural looking through the day. I think it's because it mixes with your natural oil production and it just becomes a part of your skin. I find it to have a good lasting power for such a light coverage product. Of course it fades through the day, especially on parts where you get oily or sweat a lot. 

You can see how it looks like on the skin. On the top photo I have nothing on and on the bottom photo I have this CC cream on. 


And that is how I do a very natural makeup. I did also use concealer on parts where I have redness. 


Some recommendations for those who are interested in this. I showed this to my two friends and they immediately loved it. I think this is a great product for those that don't want to wear foundations, but want a tiny bit of coverage. If you're skin is dry, please use a separate moisturizing cream underneath it. I always do that, because it just looks a lot better on hydrated skin. If you have oily skin, you can probably get away with just using this, although I'm not sure if the luminous look will be for you. The luminous feel is great for normal, dry or combination skin. It also depends on what kind of finish you prefer. You can always apply powder on the areas that look too luminous or that get oily through the day. This could also be a primer, because it's light enough and offers that luminosity.

The cream costs 28.50€ and it contains 30 ml. I will say the price is off putting to me. But it's because this is not my everyday products. It's more for the natural makeup occasions. If this is within your budget and this will be your everyday product, then try it, because it's a really good product. It surprised me and I don't even like BB and CC creams. Maybe I'll even consider other lighter coverage products from now on :).

Review: Aldo Vandini Pure Eau de Parfum (White Magnolia and Cotton)

Hey Beauties!


I've once posted a photo of this perfume on my Instagram. I saw it in my local drugstore and my lovely cousin decided to buy it for me on Easter. I've hand the hand cream from this range before and when I saw I can also get a perfume, I was more than excited. 


The range is called Pure and it includes many other skin care products. Perfume is a blend of magnolia blossom, honey, rhubarb, peach, orange blossom, patchouli and vetiver. It costs 16.99€ and you get 50 ml of it (I bought it in Müller). The price is a bargain for such amount of product.

It has a nice transparent heavy glass bottle. Magnolia blossoms are printed all over the bottle. I will say I can see the top becoming loose and falling off with time. 


Regular spray pump and it disperses perfume really finely. 

The smell is simply amazing. When you spray it on it has a very sweet fruity smell, which quickly turns into a more sweet floral scent and later becomes like a comforting freshly washed clothes mixed with slight floral and woody notes. I love it. It's comforting, soft, yet kind of sweet and not too floral, because I don't like floral scents in general. It really is a unique blend that would be loved by many different people. This will be great summer fragrance, since it's not too strong or too sweet. 

I find that it lasts well. I wouldn't say it's really strong as some other scents, but I think this is also due to the scent itself, which is softer than most perfumes. I  still smell it on my skin at the end of the day, it's just not as intense, as when you spray it on. The bottle is very convenient, so you can easily carry it around and reapply it, when you need more. 


Maybe I gave you an idea on what to use in the summer. If you like blend of floral and sweet fruit, than definitely try it in the store and you may fall in love with it, like I did. The price is amazing.

Review: Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner

Hey Beauties!

Joico is officially my favorite hair care brand. I tend to go for salon hair care when it comes to hair, because I have pretty dry and split ends. Joico K-Pak the original line was one of the first high end hair products I tried and what ever I get from Joico, I seem to love. It's no exception that I love this set from their Color Therapy range. 

You can obviously buy both separately, but I bought them in a set, which usually means it's also cheaper. At the time I bought it at Lookfantastic for around 24€. I always wait for some sort of discount codes. Feelunique has this set on sale right now for 27.71€ here. The prices are different from store to store, but online you can usually get shampoo for 18€ and conditioner for 19€. 

Both contain 300 ml, which is a really good amount. 


Because I started dying my hair back to copper, I decided to try the K-Pak Color Therapy range, which is for damaged hair, but also for colored hair and should prolong your hair color. I can't really comment on that, because my hair color is washing out faster than I can change my nail polish. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo

Texture of shampoo is like a cream, but runny and it has that pearl white color. It leathers really well, which is always a joy with me. It has hair salon luxury smell. They both do. I really can't explain it, but it reminds me of hair salons. It's more deeper warmer smell. Small amount is enough, but I always shampoo my hair twice. It doesn't strip down my hair or leave it squeaky clean, which I like. The hair actually feels a bit moisturized, but not in any way greasy. 



Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Conditioner

It has a white creamy consistency and it's a lot thicker than shampoo, but not too heavy. It almost feels a bit buttery and greasy, which I love. It's very smooth and stays on the hair well. I feel like it really nourishes and the silicons in it make it a joy to touch. On the hair it leaves moisturizing smooth layer. The hair is easy to detangle and comb through. I find this to be really amazing for my dry ends and it also makes my hair very shiny and smooth. I can safely say that this is my favorite conditioner, because it almost feels like an average hair mask.



As you can see the shampoo (left) is pretty runny and the conditioner (right) is a lot thicker. 


I have already repurchased this set now that it is on sale again. I highly recommend you to try this if you want something to moisturize, smooth and make your hair color look shiny. Joico is officially my favorite hair brand and worth the money (which I can't say for some other brands - yes Kerastase!). I'm planing on trying some of their other hair products as well. I also recommend hair masks from Moisture range.
