Top 5 Summer Make Up Products // Collaboration

Hello lovelies :)

Summer is in full swing here. How do I know? Well, for starters, it is freaking hot! Like abnormally, nonbeliveably hot. To combat the heat wave we did a collaboration with Manca from Invisibly Perfect. Each of us picked top 5 products from three different categories: make up, body and hair. Since I do not even have 5 hair or body products (honestly I doubt that I have 5 body&hair products alltogether), I picked the make up category. Here are 5 products that I loved soo far and scream summer to me (the nice 'mojito in the shade under a huge tree' summer, not the 'unbeliveably hot almost unbearable' summer).

SLEEK I - DIVINE EYESHADOW PALETTE - SUNSET

I was not sure at first, if I would like this palette, but sure enough the pretty mix of colours proved me otherwise. This nice mix of colour and neutralish hues with a black thrown into it is just perfect for summer. All the colours are nicely pigmented and shimmery (except for the black). They blend nicely and stay put quite a long time on the lids.

ESSENCE SOO GLOW! CREAM TO POWDER HIGHLIGHTER (10 LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE)

I looooooove this highlight (shocker right?). I use it for mixing with my current liquid foundation (Nude Illusion by Catrice). That way my skin can appear luminous even after a ton of setting powder was put onto it (I neet that setting powder as the fish needs water).

WET'N'WILD MEGA LAST MATTE LIPSTICK - 903C JUST PEACHY

A lovely really light peachy shade that really is matte and survives fairly long on the lips. It is really opaque, but it does not suit me as such, so I apply it sheered out.

ZOYA SATIN PROFESSIONAL LACQUER - LEAH

I am becoming more and more obsessed with Zoya nailpolishes, especially their satin formula. Matte without looking chalky, creamy texture and opaqueness packaged in a pretty bottle. That said, Leah is a really pretty neutral/nude shade that is just perfect no matter the season :)

MILANI BAKED BLUSH - 05 LUMINOSO

This blush was the love on first sight. The shine it gives to the cheeks is just the most radiant, natural and beautifull I have seen soo far. It is beautifully pigmented, applies nicelly and can be sheered out for a really nice and natural, healthy skin effect.

And here is the make up I created using these products :D

What are your top 5 Summer make up products?

Top 5 Summer Hair Products // Collaboration

Hi lovelies,

i've been melting for the past few weeks since it's  sooooo hot and i hate heat, so you can imagine my suffering xD

So since we need to survive the summer time we (me, Tjaša and Manca) decided to do collaboration  about our top 5 hair, body and makeup products for summer.

So here are my top 5 summer hair products :D

 DRY SHAMPOO

I am trying not to wash my hair too much and i do it once a week, Because i ''trained'' my hair not to be washed that frequent, they don't get oily as fast as they did before. So after 3 days my roots get a bit oily and i use a dry shampoo on them and i am good for 2 days. 

I am using the Balea Trend It Up one, since it's cheap, smells lovely and you can get it in every DM :D

  TEXTURIZING SPRAY

Who doesn't like beach  waves? I always loved the waves i got at vecation, when my hair dried after i got out of the sea. Since i haven't been on vacation and i want thos ewaves at home sometimes i use texturizing sprays. This one is from Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Girl Mermaid Look Texturizing Salt Spray. It smells lovely, doesn't make my hair heavy or sticky and i love the packaging.

  LEAVE IN TREATMENT

During the year i am always using Uniq One leave in treatment in the original scent, but when spring/summer hits i switch for the coconut scent. It's just the best scent and if you know me jsut a little bit, then you know how much i love coconut. It makes my hair soft, easy to comb, protects my color, prevents split ends, protects from the heat and many more good things. I would really recomend it.:)

  SILICON DROPS

I need silicon drops simply becaus eof my frizziness. When i dry my hair they get so freaking frizzy that i need some help. And those drops are miracle in a bottle. The frizzines is gone and it leavs my hair soft and shiny.

 HAIR OIL

Probably you already heard about argan and other oils for your hair and how amazing they are. They really help with split ends, really dry hair, frizziness and they also smell amazing,

I switch between Schwarzkopf got2v Ol-la-la Argan Oil and Moroccanoil Light. I like both of them, but i love the got2b better because of the pump and the scent is divine.

So those are my top 5 summer hair products! Please tell me yours, i would like to know. :)

Here are the links to Tjaša's and Manca's post.

Have an awesome day and don't melt, oh well some people are worth melting for :P

REVIEW: Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow Palette - Storm

Hello lovelies :)

Recently an online store had quite a big sale of some Sleek make up products, so ofcourse I got myself a few goodies. The first thing I tried out is the Storm I-Divine palette, because I am all about their eyeshadow palettes :) I am pleased to report that this palette more than satisfyes my expectations. 

The shades come in a sturdy black matte plastic packaging, with sleek written on the lid. There is a big mirror inside and 12 shades, each 1g/0.03 oz. I really love this packaging, because it is so simplistic and sturdy, aldough depoting the eyeshadows is a real pain. I have a big dream of having all the sleek eyeshadows in one big Z palette, but the risk of breaking the shadow is just to big, because the packaging is soo sturdy.

As stated before, there are 12 eyeshadows total in this palette, ranging from light to dark with a nice mix of neutrals and colours. I really appreciate that they made the two brown shades matt, since I feel like matte browns are much mor versitille than shimmery colours. All of the shades are buttery, with the exception of  Electric Storm, which has some big chunks of glitter in it. I did experience some minor fallout with darker shades, but all in all the shades are really pigmented and they blend really nicely without any patchyness. The only eyeshadow I had to pack a bit heavier on the lid, to show up nicely, was Snow Storm, which is a light shimmery highlight colour. These eyeshadows wore nicely for around 10 hours before they started creasing and there was no fading. 

  

Sand Storm: Cool gold

Snow Storm: Shimmery champagne colour

Calm Before Storm: lighter neutral matte brown. Swatches really porly, but goes opaque on the lid or in the crease

   

Thunder Storm: warm gold

Perfect Storm: Light pink with gold shimmer

Firestorm: cool reddish copper shade with shimmer

  

Dust Storm: Dark Bronzy brown with gold shimmer

Gathering Storm: darger greyish blue with a bit of glitter

Storm Cloud: Dark green with small silver glitter

   

Electric Storm: Dark blue with bigger chunks of glitter. Tapping the product of the brush before applying it is essential with this one. 

Eye Of The Storm: Cool toned medium brown. Swatches really porly, but appears pigmented on the lid and in the crease

Blackout: A deep ritch buttery matte black

You can see some of the looks I created using this palette here.

As with all of the Sleek palettes soo far I must say that I am really pleased with the overall quality of these eyeshadows. You can get it on the Sleek official site for 10,49 € and on licila.si for 12,95€.

Did you try this or any other Sleek i-Divine palette? Which one is your favourite?

Thank you for reading :D

Have a nice day :D
