Prije nego što se bacim na opisivanja ovih Ilamasqua ljepota i pokazivanja slika, zanima me jedna stvar :D

Je li vam iritantno što svaki post započinjem s "Hello"?

Nećete vjerovati, ali tek sam sad postala toga svjesna . Nekako mi je nepristojno započinjati post bez da pozdravim prisutne. Krenula sam napisat "Dobar veče" i onda krenula razmišljat da neće svi čitati ovaj post tijekom večeri i vratila se na "Hello". Tad me strefila spoznaja :D

No dobro, nazad na važnije stvari.

Before I start describing this Illamasqua beauties and showing you the photos, I'm interested in one thing :D
Do you find irritating that almost every post I write starts with "Hello"?
You won't believe me when I tell you that I noticed that right now. I find it a bit impolite to start a new post without some kind of greeting. i wanted to write "Good evening" and then I started to think that not everyone will read this post in the evening and I went back to "Hello", and then it hit me :D 
oh well, back to the matter at hand.

Već sam davno prije pisala o Illamasqua Box ružu i otad mi je to najdraži ruž u kolekciji. Bolesno je dugotrajan (ostao je netaknut nakon večere od tri slijeda jela), ne isušuje, ne ostaje čak ni na čašama kad pijete.

Nedavno sam preko rasprodaje na Illamasqua UK stranici kupila i Encounter.Uzela sam ga na blef, jer ga nisam prije ni isprobala u Illamasqua trgovini, ali sam se zaljubila kad sam ga vidjela kod Girly .

Na dnu elegantnog pakiranja od crne plastike, nalazi se naljepnica s nazivom nijanse, porijeklom te trajanjem, koje je 18 mjeseci od otvaranja.

On the bottom of the very elegant black plastic packaging, there is a sticker with the name of the lipstick, country of manufacturing and best by period, which is 18 months after opening.

S obzirom da je Encounter crvena s primjesom narančaste, jako ga je teško dobiti sliku realne nijanse, tako da su i na donjoj slici jarko izraženi narančasti tonovi. Encounter je u stvarnosti puno crveniji, kao što možete vidjeti na swatchevima.

Considering Encounter is a red with a strong presence of orange, it is really hard to get a real photo of the bullet, as you can see in the photo below, the orange hues are very strong. In reality, Encounter has much more red, as you can see in the swatches.

Illamasqua Encounter je topla crvena nijansa s primjesom narančaste. Nažalost nisam imala prilike nositi ga duže vrijeme, samo sam ga jednom isprobala da mu osjetim teksturu. Kremastiji je od Boxa, ali manje kremast od Kontrola.

Illamasqua Encounter is a warm red lipstick, that is more on the orange spectrum. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear it for a longer periods of time, prior to writing this post (stupid allergies), I only applied it to feel its texture. It is creamier than Box, but not as creamy as Kontrol.

S obzirom da Encounter i Box slove kao must have crvene nijanse, odlučila sam ih swatchati jednog pored drugoga.

Box je hladna crvena nijansa, dok je Encounter toplog podtona. Iz toga zaključujemo da Box ima primjese plavog pigmenta, a kao što je prije spomenuto, Encounter ima primjese narančaste. Na donjim swatchevim razliku možete i sami primjetiti:

Considering both Encounter and Box are Illamasqua's must-have-reds, I decided to swatch them side by side.

Box is a cool red, and Encounter has warm undertone. That said, Box has some bluish pigment in it, and as I said before, Encounter has a bit of orange in it. On the swatches below, you can se the difference for yourselves:

Ako mislite da su preslični, pogledajte finalni dokaz, swatch koji sam malo razmrljala kako bih što bolje pokazala razliku u podtonu:

If you still think they are way too similar, I smeared both of them a bit so I can better show you the difference:

Iako je razlika vidljiva, neki će tvrditi da je crveni ruž samo crveni ruž i da je dovoljno imati samo jedan primjerak. Također će se naći onih koji se čvrsto drže onoga što je komplementarno njihovom podtonu pa će uzeti ili Box ili Encounter, ovisno koji im više pristaje.

Ja tvrdim da ih morate imati oboje, kojeg god podtona ili boje kože bili. 

Osobno sam toplog podtona, pravi svijetli žućo, ali živim u uvjerenju da mi Box savršeno pristaje i nitko me ne može uvjeriti u suprotno. Encounter je samo šećer na kraju. Nikad dovoljno crvenih ruževa ;)

Even though these are very different toned reds, some would claim that the red lipstick is really just a red lipstick, and that is more than plenty to have only one. Also, a lot of people will stick to lipstick that lean to same undertone as their skin, and will choose between Box and Encounter.

I'm claiming that you have to have both of them, no matter your skin color or undertone.
Me personally, I have warm undertone, I'm a genuine light skinned yellowish girl, but I firmly believe that Box suits me like charm, and no one can convince me otherwise. Encounter is just a cherry on top. You can never have enough red lipsticks ;)

Smatrate li da je dovoljno imati samo jedan crveni ruž?

Ili ste kolekcionar?
Do you think that is enough to own just one red lipstick?
Or do you try to collect them all?

Hvala na čitanju :*
Thank you for reading :*
