Blue Collaboration with Valentina from Brownimalist

This is my first ever collaboration on my blog. I teamed up with Valentina from Brownimalist. You should definitely check out her blog, because she does great reviews and also her pictures are stunning (her blog is in slovene). She is doing some collaborations with Slovenian bloggers. She is making something like a rainbow themed posts, in every post there will be one main color. I have products with blue packaging.

With blue packaging I mainly have Balea and Essence, which are two very affordable brands, that I like to use. I had some problems with the lighting, I took the pictures of individual products a couple of times and the pictures didn't really look good, but I decided to include them anyway.

To je moje prvo sodelovanje na blogu. Sodelujem z Valentino, ki piše blog z imenom Brownimalist. Defenitivno si morate ogledati njen blog, saj piše odlične ocene izdelkov in pa tudi slike so čudovite (njen blog je v slovenščini). Na njenem blogu ste mogoče že videli nekaj sodelovanj z slovenskimi blogerkami. Odločila se je za mavrično temo, v vsaki objavi bo ena glavna barva, na katero smo poskušale najti najljubše izdelke. Jaz sem si izbrala modro.
Z modro embalažo imam v glavnem izdelke zmank Balea in Essence, kateri sta tudi zelo poceni in izdelke pogosto uporabljam. Ko sem fotografirala posamezne izdelke za objavo izdelke za objavo, sem imela manjše težave s svetlobo, ampak sem se odločila, da slike vseeno vključim.

BALEA AQUA FEUCHTIGKEITS CREME GEL AND BALEA AQUA FEUCHTIGKEITS SERUM

I have used a serum and a cream from Balea's Aqua line for over a year probably. I use them at night, when I remove my makeup. I apply the serum first and when it sinks into the skin, then I apply the cream. I must say, the cream isn't really for winter months, because it's not very moisturizing, I rather use it in the summer. It has a light consistency and sinks into the skin quickly. It also has like a cooling effect on the skin. It has a strong scent, but I quickly got used to it. When it comes to the serum, I don't really notice the scent. Like I said, the cream isn't really for colder months, that's why I use a more nourishing cream in that time, but I still apply the serum.

Balejin vlažilni serum in kremo iz Aqua linije uporabljam že kakšno leto. Uporabljam ju za nočno nego, ko zvečer sčistim ličila. Najprej na obraz nanesem serum, ko se ta vpije, pa še kremo. Krema ni najbolj primerna za zimske mesece, saj ni tako vlažilna, sama jo najraje uporabljam v poletnih mesecih. Ima lahkotno teksturo in se hitro vpije v kožo. Ima tudi hladilen efekt na kožo. Ima sicer kar močan vonj, ampak se na njega hitro navadiš, pri serumu pa me vonj sploh ne moti. Kot sem rekla, krema ni najbolj primerna za zimske mesece, zato takrat raje uporabim kakšno bolj hranilno kremo, še vseeno pa prej nanesem Balejin vlažilni balzam.

BALEA ERFRISCHENDES WASHGEL AND PEELING GEL 

Another two products that I have been using for a long time, approximately for two years. Erfrischendes Washgel foams nicely, it's great for removing makeup, but it doesn't remove waterproof mascara. I have noticed that it dries my skin a little bit. And the peeling: I use it two to three times per week. It is gently, which I prefer for the face. It cleanses the skin very well and my skin feels smooth afterwards.

Spet dva izdelka, katera uporabljam verjetno že kakšni dve leti. Čistilni gel je super za odstranjevanje ličil, ne odstrani pa vodoodporne maskare. V zimskih mesecih sem opazila, da mi kožo malce izsuši. Piling pa uporabljam dva- do trikrat tedensko. Je kar nežen piling, kar imam sama raje za obraz, kot pa kakšnega grobega. Kožo dobro očisti in jo pusti mehko na dotik.

BALEA AQUASPRAY 

I included this spray, because I think that every women should have it for the hot days. Actually it's only water that you can spray on your body or face. Basically, you can pour water in a spray bottle yourself at home, you don't have to buy it, but it wasn't so expensive, I think it was around 1-2€. I bought mine last year, but I have noticed them at DM again, but the packaging is slightly different. 

Ta sprej sem vključila, ker mislim da bi ga morala poleti imeti vsaka. Dejansko je navadna voda, ki jo lahko popršiš po telesu ali pa po obrazu. V bistvu je navadna voda, ki si jo lahko v kakšno prazno embalažo s pršilom vliješ sama. Tako ti za to sploh ni treba zapravljati denarja, sicer pa niti ni tako drago (1-2€). Svojega sem kupila lani v DM-u, sem pa jih letos spet opazila, ampak v malo spremenjenem pakiranju.

ESSENCE I LOVE EXTREME MASCARA WATERPROOF

Essence I Love Extreme Mascara in Waterproof is one of my favourite mascaras ever. It has a massive wand and you have to be careful when applying it. Because of its waterproof formula, it's very hard to remove, but some sort of oil makeup remover should do it. It makes the lashes very black, it curls them and doesn't stick them together. I have a whole review of the mascara here. 

Trenutno ena izmed mojih najljubših maskar. Maskara ima zelo veliko krtačko, zaradi česar je nanos malo neroden. Glede na to, da je vodoodporna, jo je zelo težko odstranit, najbolj je uporabit kakšen oljni odstranjevalec. Trepalnice naredi zelo črne, jih zaviha in jih ne sprime skupaj.

MAYBELLINE THE ROCKET VOLUM' MASCARA

I have used a few of Maybelline's mascaras and they have never disappointed me. My favourite is Rocket Volum' Mascara. I use the blackest black. It elongates the lashes and gives them volume. 

Maybellinove maskare me še niso razočarale, Rocket Volum' Mascara pa je moja najljubša. Sama uporabljam najbolj črno verzijo. Trepalnice podaljša in jim doda volumen.

BLISTEX CLASSIC LIP PROTECTOR

I included this lip balm, even though it's more white than blue. Blistex is my favourite brand when it comes to lip balms. I had used a few of their scents (flavours?) and they have all been great. My lips are almost always dry and this lip balm helps them. I apply it every day when I go out, so I protect my lips from the cold and the wind.

Dodala sem še ta balzam, čeprav ni cel moder, ker je eden mojih najljubših in bo verjetno marsikateri zelo všeč. Uporabljala sem že veliko balzamov za ustnice, ampak Blistex znamka mi je trenutno najboljša. Imela sem že več vonjev in vsi so lepo dišali. Velikokrat imam razpokane ustnice in ta balzam mi še najbolj pomaga. Nanesem ga tudi vsak dan, preden grem ven, da zaščitim ustnice pred mrazom in vetrom.

ESSENCE THE GEL NAIL POLISH 39 BLUE BUBBLE DI BLUE

I only picked one nail polish and it's from Essence. It's very affordable (1,69€) and the color is just for spring and summer. It looks best if you have a tan. I made a review and swatches of some of the polishes from Essence here.

Izbrala sem samo en lak za nohte, ki pa je od Essence. Je poceni (1,69€) in barva je primerna za pomlad in poletje. Najlepše izgleda, če si malo rjava. Na blogu že imam objavo o teh lakih tukaj.
