Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Mat Bronzer
May 29, 20110 Comments

And here it is - one of the best bronzers for fair skins. I've been looking for a good bronzer that would suit my very pale complexion for a long time, but most bronzers I swatched just looked very orange on my skin. Estee Lauder's one has some red tones in it, which apparently works great on lighter skin tones. Although it's called matte bronzer it does have some golden shimmer in the pan, but it doesn't show up on my skin. It actually mattifies quite well. I apply it on my cheeks, a bit on the sides of my forehead and sweep a touch through the center of my face. It just looks like your natural tan, it's not orange and it doesn't look fake at all. I tried using it as a contour, but I don't find it that good for it. For me the best contouring shade I own is Mac's Wedge eyeshadow or eyeshadow called Naked from UD Naked palette. The bronzer is massive, I doubt I'll ever use it up, which sort of justifies the price (36 € in Müller). The packaging is nice, has a big mirror that is really useful. The brush it comes with is also useful and very soft.

In končno ocena še za Estee Lauderjin Bronzer, ki je odličen za zelo svetlo kožo. Kar nekaj časa sem iskala dober bronzer za mojo svetlo kožo, ampak skoraj vsi, ki sem jih swatchala so izgledali oranžno. Esteejin ima nekaj rdečih tonov, zaradi česa očitno izgleda super na svetlejši koži. Čeprav naj bi bil mat bronzer ima nekakšne zlate bleščice, vendar na koži niso vidne. Pravzaprav kar dobro matira. Nanašam ga na lička, ob strani čela in malenkost ga nanesem še po sredini obraza. Dejansko izgleda kot naravna zagorelost in ni nič oranžen. Za senčenje obraza ni ravno najboljši, meni je bolj všeč Macova Wedge senčka ali Naked senčka iz UD-jeve Naked palete. Bronzer je ogromen, dvomim, da mi ga bo kdaj uspelo porabiti, mogoče to dejstvo malo upravičuje ceno (36 € v Müllerju). Embalaža je lepa in priročna z velikim ogledalom in čopičem, ki je tudi uporaben.


And here is a comparison to my ancient Essence Sun Club bronzer, which I really dislike. It just doesn't pack any pigment, it hardly shows up even of my porcelain skin. It does smell lovely however, like sunscreen and exactly like Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess body oil (the one in the square bottle with gold sparkles).

Big Haul and Swaps
May 14, 20110 Comments

I accumulated a lot of new stuff in the last two weeks. Mostly because I won't be in Ljubljana that much in the next weeks and also because I had a horrible week and I presume that the next couple of weeks will be even more stupid.
I ordered a package from Studioma. I bought the Orofluido shampoo, conditioner and shine spray (they currently have an offer, you receive the shine spray for free). I hadn't tried them yet, but review will follow sometime in the next weeks (I won't be at home as much unfortunately). The scent of all the products is the same as of the serum, that oriental blend of vanilla and amber.
I finally caved and bought Nuxe oil (and since I used up that wild rose oil that I talked about in one of the previous posts, I was in need of a replacement). The scent is gorgeous. If you ever had their tinted moisturizer, this smells the same. It a very sweet a bit almondy scent, I just love it. Review with all the pictures will follow.
And the last from the upper picture is Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Mat bronzer. After months of searching for a good bronzer, swatching and reading reviews I ended up buying this one. I love the colour because unlike most (or more like all) other bronzers I swatched, this one doesn't look orange on me at all. It almost has a slightly reddish tone to it. Again review and swatches will be posted as soon as I find some time.

Essence Sun Club Bondi Beach TE nail polish in BBC Pink Heat. When I saw Taya's swatch I feel in love with this colour. On me it's doesn't even look pink, but a very bright red. Fantastic colour for summer. The formula is amazing, I got full coverage with only one coat.
I bought a 250 ml bottle of Bioderma Sensibio make up remover which is my favourite one. In our pharmacies it costs 11 €.
 

And here are products I got in swaps (I swapped with two great girls from ARS Cosmetica forum. Thanks to both of you!). I got Benefit Girl Meets Pearl highlighter (swatches and comparison with High Beam will be posted shortly) and BarryM blusher (I think it's 2 Rose), nail polish in Limited Pink and lipstick 145.

Review and swatches will follow. Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching!
