Avon care cocoa butter - Avonovi izdelki za nego s kakavovim maslom

Hi girls! Today I'll write something about Avon personal care products that are enriched with cocoa butter. Since I received these products for a review this post will also bi in Slovenian language.

Pozdravljena dekleta! Tokrat sem za vas pripravila popolnoma drugačno objavo. Ker me je Avonova ekipa prijetno presenetila z izdelki za nego s kakavovi maslom, bom tokrat z vami delila moje mnenje o izdelkih za nego telesa.

I received 3 product from Avon care line with cocoa butter:
-body lotion
-rich cream
-lip butter

Prejela sem 3 izdelke iz linije Avon care, ki vsebuje kakavovo maslo:
- losjon za telo 
-bogata krema za obraz, roke in telo
-maslo za ustnice

cocoa butter body lotion for dry skin/losjon za telo s kakavovim maslom in vitaminom E za suho kožo

Their description: This lightweight fast absorbing body lotion is enriched with Cocoa butter and Vitamin E and provides all day moisturisation , leaving skin with a natural and healthy glow. 
It was supposed to be hypo-allergenic.
It contains 400 mL of products

My opinion: I love the smell! It smells like cocoa butter, but the smell is not too strong or overpowering. The smell is not present on the skin for a long time. It really absorbs fast and does not leave a film on the skin. My skin felt soft. I must admit that I do not like the color of the packaging, because I'm not a fan of brown, but I do think the packaging looks pretty.

Avonov opis izdelka: Ta lahkoten hitro vpijajoč losjon za telo je obogaten s kakavovim maslom in vitaminom E ter zagotavlja celodnevno vlaženje., koži podari naraven sijaj. Hipoalergenski. Ni masten.
Vsebuje 400 mL izdelka.
Cena izdelka: 7€ (v aktualnem katalogu le 3,8 €)

Moje menje: Vonj izdelka mi je zelo všeč, sam vonj se mi ne zdi premočan, s kože pa izgine preden se ga naveličaš =). Losjon se hitro vpije, na koži pa ne pusti filma. Po njegovi zaslugi pa je moja koža negovana in mehka. Barva embalaže me mogoče ne prepriča najbolj, saj nisem ljubiteljica rjave barve, vendar pa je na koncu pomebna vsebina in ne embalaža.

cocoa butter rich cream for dry skin / bogata krema za roke, obraz in telo s kakavovim maslo in vitaminom E
My opinion: This one has the same smell as body lotion. Again I really like this smell, it is not strong and overpowering.  The texture is a bit more "watery" than the lotion, making it a bit more light and absorbent than the lotion. I did not use it on my face since I have a bit oily skin there. I used it mainly on my hands through the day and I must say that unlike many this one does not leave a thick film on my hands ( I do feel a little something there, but compared to many hand creams it is minimal). 
It contains 400 mL of product.

Moje mnenje: Vonj je enak kot pri losjonu, prav tako mi je ta vonj zelo všeč. Krema ima bolj "vodeno" teksturo in je bolj prosojna od losjona. Občutek imam, da se malenkost prej vpije. Ker imam na obrazu bolj mastno kožo, sem kremo večinoma uporabljala kot kremo za roke. Pri tej kremi mi je bilo zelo všeč to, da ni pustila na rokah debelega filma (no, film je že bil tam, ampak v primerjavi z drugimi kremami za roke, je bil občutek manj moteč).
Vsebuje 400 mL kreme.
Cena izdelka: 4,6€ ( v aktualnem katalogu le 2,5€) 

cocoa butter lip butter / maslo za ustnice s kakavovim maslom in vitaminom E
Their description: Conditioning lip butter instantly smoothes and softens dry,chipped lips.
It contains 10 mL of product.
My  opinion: This is defenitely my favourite product out of the bunch. I had the opportunity to wear it last week when the temperature was -10°C and I must say that if I did not had this one on my lips I would have dried out lips today. It is a bit greasy but not stickey. It creates a nice protection film that is really long lasting (usually I have to reapply my lip balm ever half a hour, but this one was there for 2-3 hours). It is really thick so it is a bit harder to get out of the packaging, but this can be an advantage to =).

Njihov opis izdelka: Negovalno maslo za ustnice zgladi in zmehča suhe, razpokane ustnice.
Vsebuje 10 mL izdelka.
Cena: 4€ (v aktualnem katalogu le 2,6€)

Moje menje: Izmed vseh teh izdelkov je maslo za ustnice defenitivno meni najljubše. Zaradi negativnih temperatur iz prejšnjega tedna, sem lahko maslo testirala v bolj neprijaznem okolju. Odrezalo se je z odliko, saj je mojim ustnicam nudilo popolno zaščito. Maslo je mastno, vendar na ustnicah ni lepljivo. V primerjavi z drugimi izdelki za nego ustnice je zelo obstojeno, saj se na ustnicah obdrži 2-3 ure. Maslo je zelo gosto, zato je pri stiskanju masla iz embalaže potrebno uporabiti malo večjo silo, ampak mene to ne moti.


Na spodnji sliki je primerjava v teksturi med losjonom, kremo in maslom za ustnice (na žalost se na sliki ne vidi najbolje). Krema je malenkost bolj prosojna od losjona in ima bolj vodeno teksturo. Maslo je zelo gosto in kompaktno.


Izdelki Avon care s kakavovim maslom se mi zdijo idealni za zimski čas, ko je koža še bolj razdražena in suha, saj so zelo hranljivi.

Besides this three products there are also two other products in this line: hand crème for nails and cuticle and body butter.

Poleg zgoraj omenjenih izdelkov lahko v liniji s kakavovim maslom najdete tudi kremo za roke, nohte in obnohtno kožico ter maslo za telo.

Avon Magic Effects Liquid Sequin

Hi!

Today I prepared a bit different post for you, my dear readers! 
Many of you problably don't have these fancy tools and nail art stamping plates for creating beautiful and easy christmas or new years themed nails. Today I prepared a post on how you can easily create simple but pretty manicures for the holidays using Avon Liquid Sequin nail polishes.

Danes sem za vas moje predrage bralke pripravila malo drugačno objavo.
Mnogo izmed vas nima božično ali novoletno obarvanih šablon doma, ampak to še ne pomeni, da z malo truda ne morete ustvariti lepih in preprostih prazničnih nohtov. Za vas sem pripravila 3 vodiče, kako si lahko pričarate praznično vzdušje na nohtih z laki iz Avonove kolekcije Liquid Sequin.

This collection includes 4 different nail polishes in  Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle and Glimmer ( I have 3 from this collection as shown in the picture below).

Kolekcija Liquid Sequin Vsebuje 4 čudovite praznične lake z imeni Glitterati, Sequin, Dazzle in Glimmer (Vse razen zadnjega lahko vidite na spodnji sliki).


Now I'll show you picture tutorials on how to create 3 easy but still pretty holiday themed manicures.

Sedaj vam bom predstavila 3 slikovne vodiče za preproste, a vendar kljub temu simpatične praznične manikure.


Chirstmas Tree and Gifts

Božično drevesce in darila




Here are detailed instructions:

1. Polish your index, ring and pinkie with black base. Use Avon Sequin on all of the fingers (I applied 1 coat over black and 3 coats on my middle finger). 

2. With a thin brush or toothpick draw 2 thin lines.

3. Shape a bow (also with toothpick or brush).

4. Polish a thick coat of Sequin on a peace of foil and let it dry.

5. When the peace of Avon Sequin on the foil is dry, cut out Christmas thee with scissors.

6. Put clear polish on your ring finger and than gently place Christmas tree on top. Add a layer of top coat.

Optional: You can add glitter from Avon Sequin to add Christmas light to the tree.

Navodila:

1. Prstanec, kazalec in mezinec prelakiraj s črnim lakom za nohte. Na vse nohte dodaj plast Avon Sequin. Čez sredinec pa nanesi 3 plasti, da prekrije belo konico nohta. 

2. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem nariši tanki črni črti.

3. S čopičem ali zobotrebcom nariši še mašnjico.

4. Na kos folije nalakiraj debelo plast Avon Sequin in počakaj da se posuši.

5. Suh lak odlepi in s škarjami izreži obliko božičnega drevesca.

6. Na prstanec najprej nanesi plast prozornega laka, nato pa nanj previdno položi izrezano drevo. Dodaj nadlak.

Opcijsko: Z zobotrebcem lahko iz laka Avon Sequin dodaš na drevesce bleščice in s tem drevescu dodaš lučke. 

Because I wasn't completely satisfied with this manicure I decided to replace Christmas tree with a bow for a gift. This is what I ended up with:

Ker z videzom smrečice nisem bila popolnoma zadovoljna sem na prstanec narisala mašnjico in naredila na nohtu še eno darilo. Takole pa je izgledala ta manikura:




You can see how Avon Sequin looks on it's own on my middle finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Sequin brez podlage si lahko pogledaš na mojem sredincu.

Glittery Snowflake Wrapping paper

Bleščičasti papir za zavijane s snežinkami



Instrucitons:

1. Use Avon Glitterati for a base.
With a thin brush or a toothpick draw a thin line.

2. Add 3 more lines to form a star.

4. On every second line in star add 4 more smaller lines. Add dots on the other 4 lines you haven't used.

4. Play on the rest of the nails. Draw stars, dots.... and apply top coat.

Navodila:

1. Za podlago uporabi Avon Glitterati. S tankim čopičem ali zobotrebcem najprej nariši tanko belo črto.

2. Dodaj še 3 tanke bele črte, da dobiš zvezasto obliko.

3. Na vsaki drugi krak zvezde nariši še dodatne 4 črtice, na prazne krake pa naredi pikice.

4. Pozabavaj se z ostalii nohti. Riši črtice, pikice, zvezdice, da dobiš morje snežink. Nanesi še nadlak.

New Year's eve fireworks

Novoletna manikura z ognjemetom



For this manicure you will need scissors and scotch tape.

Za to manikuro boš potrebovala lepilni trak in škarje (lahko z vzorčki).




Instrucitons:

1. Paint Black base on index and middle finger and Avon Dazzle on your pinkie and ring finger.

2. Cut out 2 pieced of scotch tape and place it on your skin (it will lose some stickiness and make no damage to your manicure). Place the tape on your nails, and polish Dazzle over, quickly remove tape.

3. Cut 4 thin and straight pieces of tape (also stick it to the skin) and make a star shape on your ring finger. Polish over black polish and quickly remove tape.

4. Apply top coat and you're done!

Navodila:

1. Kazalec in sredinec nalakiraj s črnim lakom, Avon Dazzle nanesi na mezinec in prstanec. 

2. S škarjami izreži 2 kosa lepilnega traka in ga nalepi na kožo. S tem boš zmanjšala lepljivost lepilnega traka in zmanjšala možnost, da si pri tem poškoduješ manikuro. Kosa nato nalepi na kazalec in sredinec ter ju prelakiraj z Avon Dazzle. Lepilni trak odstrani, ko je lak še moker.

3. S šakrjami izreži 4 zelo ozke kose lepilnega traka (zopet jih najprej nalepi na kožo). Trake nalepi v zvezdasto obliko na prstancu. Čez prelakiraj črni lak in lepilni trak odstrani.

4. Nanesi nadlak za sijaj in obstojnost.




 You can see Avon Dazzle on it's on on my pinkie finger.

Kako izgleda Avon Dazzle brez druge podlage lako vidiš na mojem mezincu.


V tem katalogu lahko Avon Sequin lake ob nakupu kateregakoli izdelka iz kataloga dobiš za samo 2,5€. 

This was sent to me for review. 



A Classic

Hi!

Today I'm going to show you a nail polish that almost every girl has ( at least I hope so). It's China Glaze For Audrey. A beautiful pastel polish which is perfect for stamping. Because I'm really tired I'm not going to be long today.
Application: good, Coats:2, no top coat
 Scissors already prepared for my first scotch tape manicure. I just had to use them, because they really match the color of the polish =).

and another picture of this beauty:

As I said this polish is a perfect base for stamping, so you all know what goes next.
I used konad M64 and Avon: Splendid Blue


What do you think?

My nails were really long so I decided to shorten them, and I realised that I like shorter nail on me more =).


Thank you all, for commenting, reading, visiting......

Enter my giveaway if you haven't! =)

Have a nice evening!

Going blue again

Hi, today I have another kanadicure for you. I used my favourite blue polish and my favourite design from Konad plates. Now you are probably asking yourselves which one is my favourite blue and which design is my favourite. I think that the next pictures will reveal my favourite design, do you recognise it?


I bet you did it is from m64 image plate.
I used 2 coats of Maybeline NY Colorama party blue and Avon Splendid Blue for stamping. I also added a coat of Essie good to go. 
Here is another picture of my manicure which I've been vearing for 3 days =)


 I almost forgot to write down which one of these blue polishes is my favourite. What do you thin? Well I decided I won't bore you any more, it is Splendid Blue that stole my heart( swatches 2 post ago). 

and another picture
I know, totally boring post, but I had nothing shocking to write =).
Do you like the final look?
Which blue is your favourite so for? Which stamping pattern do you like the most?


Splendid Blue

I was supposed to write this post hours ago, but the whole neighbourhood ran out of electricity and I was left with no other choice than to go sleep =). But now the internet connection has come back and I can write this post in peace( I hope so). 
To continue with the polish, I got this one as a gift for Christmas from my cousin, she was the first one ever to give me a polish for a present, besides my friend Sara who give me a bonus coupon for an internet store. Anyway the polish didn't seem promising in the bottle, but when I applied it I was shocked by it's gorgeousness. Firstly I was impressed with the application because it was smooth, I liked the brush and the best part of it is that it is a one coater and perfect for konad stamping. It wore nicely and dried really fast(maybe the fact that it is a one coater should be considered here as well). I totaly forgot to mention it's name, I'm really surprised by it's name, because it isn't called Blue my mind, like many blue polishes, but it has  a really appropriate name Splendid blue =)
Here is a lot of crappy pictures
Too bad the sparkling effect is seen only on the ring finger

I hope that you can see at least a bit of it'd gorgeousness
Too bad I don't have any top coat pictures because it looks a lot more beautiful with a top coat, but since it impressed me a lot, I might wear it some time soon =)

Though I loved it alone I had to do some stamping on it because I just realised that I have so many plates bit I rarely use them, so here it goes a pattern from Konad m64 plate with silver Beautyline polish Nr.2


I really liked the combo, and I really can't decide which version I prefer. 

And I have a bonus picture for you today. It is Meggie(again) while making a commercial for CG polishes =P


                            


Since I have 3 post prepared to be published I want you to decide which one comes next. So what would you like to see next: my top 5 manicures(not polishes) of the year(yes, I final decided to make a post like that), 7 things about me or how well Sparkling blue looks on party blue ? The post that will have the most votes will be published today =).

Tnx for reading and commenting, I really can't believe that I already have more than 180 followers=)
