Hello :)


Napokon stiže duuugo najavljivano DARIVANJE!!!!!!!!!
za ovo ćete se morati malo i potruditi :)

Naslov darivanja je Random Encounter Giveaway, što je i pun na jednu od nagrada, ali i opisuje temu ;)

Tema darivanja je:

VIDEO IGRE/TV SERIJE


Prvo sam mislila da tema budu samo video igre, ali pretpostavljam da bi to ograničilo 99% vas, s obzirom da video igrama ne smatram facebook i mobitel aplikacije (osim možda Infinity bladea, ali vjerujem da ni to nije popularno).
Naravno da ako želite, možete se inspirirati i facebook igrama, neću vas diskvalificirati :D
Nema puno cura gejmerica, ali zato sve gledaju serije, tako da sam proširila temu ;)
U obzir dolaze i animirane serije :)

Postoje tri kategorije, make-up, nail art i random, a možete se natjecati u maksimalno dvije, i to random i make-up ILI nail art.
S obzirom da će natječaj biti otvoren mjesec dana, dat ću vam priliku da se prijavite s dva looka, ali morate odlučiti koji od ta dva ide u konkurenciju za nagradu.
Naime, vjerujem da se puno puta dogodi da nešto napravite odmah na početku, i onda prođu dva tjedna, dobijete novu inspiraciju, napravite nešto čime ste puno više zadovoljni, ali gotovo je.
Zato vam dajem mogućnost da jednom povučete prijavu :)

Službena pravila:

RANDOM ENCOUNTER GIVEAWAY

• ukoliko primjetim bilo kakav pokušaj varanja, automatski ćete biti diskvalificirani
• darivanje je otvoreno samo za osobe s prebivalištem u Hrvatskoj i susjednim državama

Molim vas da pazite kad slikavate radove, da slike budu što oštrije i što bolje kvalitete.
Naravno, da biste sudjelovali u Random dijelu darivanja, ne morate sudjelovati i u jednom od druga dva.
Slobodno samo igrajte za Encounter ;)

Sve tri stvari su kupljene mojim vlastitim novcima preko Illamasqua UK stranice, svi su novi, a Illamasqua paleta je jednom otvorena radi slikanja i provjere da je živa i zdrava :)

A sad na najbolji dio, nagrade:







            Nagrada za nail art natječaj - Illamasqua Baptiste + Max Factor Fantasy fire







te naravno, ne bi Random Encounter darivanje bilo Random Encounter da nema treće nagrade koju možete osvojiti slučajnim odabirom ;)

Nagrada za Random dio darivanja - Illamasqua Encounter ruž




za kojeg možete igrati upisivanjem vaše e-mail adrese u rafflecopter widget:

Puno pozdrava i sretno,

Hello :)


January was a really great month post-wise  but February and March are a bust. I'm having a severe case of lack of time and I really want to write high quality posts, and not just make an update for the sake of updating.

Please be patient for just a little while, as I have many great things to show you, but before I do that I need to rearrange some things in my life. It's nothing serious, but I think I'm going to need a couple of weeks for it :)

In the meantime, I plan to make regular status updates on my facebook page showing you bits and pieces of things that will be featured in my future posts, and a lot of randomness :D

When I return, you can expect a really fun make up/manicure competition and a classic random giveaway :)
I'm really excited for it, so clean up your brushes and prepare your make up for it will be truly epic ;)

For now, I leave you with this little opportunity to win two awesome nail polishes and a very sought after blusher :)
I really appreciate my readers and I would like to show my thankfulness with a mini giveaway :)
I love these products, and MNY 54 (formerly 265) is my favorite nail polish ever, as already written in this post (although I really need to post a new swatch with this nail polish as my nails look so much better than they did a year ago)

To win this prize, just fill in all the required data in the Rafflecopter.

Hello :)

Kao što sam već najavila u jednom od prethodnih postova, planiram jedno veliko darivanje, gdje ću pobjednika za jednu nagradu izvući slučajnim odabirom, a za dvije nagrade ćete se moći natjecati :)

Nažalost kako čekam na dvije od tri stvari već cijelu vječnost, odlučila sam napraviti jedno malo preddarivanje-darivanje :D

Tako da, evo ga :)

As I previously mentioned in one of my posts, I'm planning a huge giveaway, that will have one prize where the winner will be randomly selected, and two prizes you will have to compete for :)

But, as I've been waiting for two of those prizes to arrive for what seems an eternity, I decided to host a mini-pregiveaway-giveaway :D

So, here it is :)

Odlučite li se sudjelovati u ovom darivanju, možete osvojiti jedan potpuno novi Nyx Girls Dorothy lak :)
Jako volim ovaj lak, prekrasan je, a i za njega se govori da je kopija Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers laka.

S obzirom da ga nisam još swatchala (kupila sam dvije bočice, jednu za sebe, a jednu za darivanje), ne mogu vam pokazati na svojim noktima, koliko je u biti krasan.
Navedeno nasreću možete vidjeti  ovdje, ovdje and ovdje :)


Entering my giveaway, you have a chance to win one brand new Nyx Girls Dorothy nail polish :)
I love this nail polish, it's so pretty, and is a alleged dupe of Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers.

Since I haven't swatched it yet ( I bought two of them, one for me and one for a giveaway), I can't show you how awesome it really is.
But you can see this beauty in action here, here and here :)

Hello  :)

Za ovaj post me inspirirala Sleek Berry kolekcija u koju sam se zaljubila cim sam je vidjela. No, kako to i inace kod mene ide, ovaj lotd nema nikakve slicnosti s bojama u Berry kolekciji, ali ipak je ispal borovnicast :D

For this post, I was inspired by Sleek Berry collection in which I fell in love at the first sight. But as it usually goes with me, this lotd has nothing in common with the colors of the Berry collection, but it's still blueberry-like :D



Ali to nije sve :)
Cure, čestitam! :)

Hello, guys :)

First things first:
I know that you all are dying to know who the winner of my Sigma F80 giveaway is, so let's cut to the chase.

43 people entered the giveaway with 83 entries.
Random.org chose the random number between 1 and 83:


I really love and appreciate you all 

One other thing  before we go, I decided to write in both English and Croatian because you said you'd like that better:

Hello, guys :)

As you already know, I've been a Sigma affiliate for a few months now.
A rep for Sigma contacted me and asked me if I would like to be a Sigma affiliate and offered me the Sigma F80 for a review.
I was a bit skeptic at first, but I decided to go for it, and eventually got the F80.

The only foundation I use is Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry skin (150 Buff) and I used to apply it with Sigma F60. F60 is a part of Make me crazy kit, which I won at Nihrida's giveaway :)

Before I won the Make me crazy kit, I used to apply CS with my fingers or with a damp sponge. Considering my skin is dry, with very dry cheeks, these methods should be the best.  Maybe they are when using some other foundation, but with Revlon CS they were a terrible choice, at least for me.
When I was finished applying it, my skin would look like I'm wearing a mask, foundation layers were too thick and it felt awful.
I completely gave up on CS until a month-ish ago, when I was watching Lisa Eldridge's tutorial in which she said you could still use foundation brush if you have dry skin, but you should be careful every time to "swipe" in the same direction, from the middle to the outer parts of your face.
 I fell in love with CS+F60 because after I applied my foundation it looked really great. So great in fact, my boyfriend didn't even notice that I'm wearing any :D

But after I got F80...well, I've put everything in a chart below :D
(Your standard disclaimer: Sigma F80 brush was sent to me for a review by Sigma. All opinions are my own etc. )

Skin type: dry, very dry cheeks, with a slightly oily chin Revlon Colorstay Normal/Dry skin 150 Buff
Sigma F60 Foundation brush (damp)	Sigma F80 Flat top synthetic kabuki
It takes three times more foundation for the same level of coverage  It leaves the brush lines which means you need to blend more which can irritate the skin and it takes more time to apply the foundation properly The brush is flat and a bit rigid, so to propery blend foundation with the skin, you neek to press it more and "paint" with it It doesn't absorb too much foundation, it's very easy to clean	It takes a small amount of foundation for good coverage It gives flawless, almost airbrushed skin, it leaves no marks or foundation spots The brush is very soft, it doesn't require you to press your skin more than necessary  It doesn't absorb too much foundation, it's very easy to clean
After 4 hours of wear (no primer, no powder foundation)
Cheeks and forehead feel dry and a bit itchy Dry areas on my cheeks are visible	Cheeks feel just a tad dry, but it isn't really noticeable  Dry areas are not visible
Final verdict:
I believe this brush would be great for someone who doesn't have dry skin. I thought it was perfect before I tried F80. As long as my F80 is in one piece, I don't intend to use F60.	F80 is soft and fluffy, and in the same time  really firm. You can use light round movements and still get your foundation buffed into your skin. The result is a perfect airbrushed effect, not a single trace of foundation application is visible. It felt like I don't even have my foundation on.
Fun fact:
After applying Revlon CS with both brushes, I asked my boyfriend to say what part of my face is more natural looking (without visible foundation) without him knowing what part of my face is done with which   brush. He picked the side done with F80, which makes it an ultimate winner in this showdown.

 And now onto the giveaway part :)
Sigma was kind enough to provide additional F80 for a giveaway. Say "Hello" to a nice Sigma :D

These are the rules:
