REVIEW: Paula's Choice Illicit Lash Maximum Impact Mascara
Packaging: I was
immediately drawn to the simplicity of the design; it seems that nowadays there
are very few mascaras that do not resemble some kind of a mini sculpture and
whose design is so advanced, it's almost battery-operated. So a brownie point
for the simplicity :)
Embalaža: Pri tej
maskari me je pritegnila preprostost oblike; zdi se mi, da je dandanes zelo
malo maskar, ki niso podobne nekakšni mini skulpturi in pri katerih je dizajn
tako napreden, da skoraj potrebujejo baterije. Plus točka za preprostost:)
Brush: Very
flexible and cone-shaped and bends straight lashes nicely. However, the spiky
plastic bristles do not separate the lashes
as they should. I was a bit
disappointed by that.
Krtačka: Glava
krtačke je zelo gibljiva ter v obliki stožca in trepalnice lepo ukrivi. Vendar plastični
koničasti zobki na ščetki ne ločijo trepalnic tako kot bi morali. Glede tega
sem bila malo razočarana.
Texture: The
texture is pretty thick and easily applicable, which I like, because the
texture, especially that of cheaper labels can be a bit thin and therefore not
having the necessary coverage. What I especially like about the ILLICIT LASH
mascara is that it covers all the lashes evenly and that it's completely
smudge-proof. To achieve the same effect, I always had to use a water-proof
mascara. An extra browni point.
Tekstura tekočine v maskari:
Dokaj gosta in mazljiva, kar mi je zelo všeč, namreč tekstura maskar, še
posebno le-ta cenejših znamk, zna biti bolj redka in tako manj prekrivna. Pri
ILLICIT LASH maskari mi je zelo všeč, da je dobro prekrivna in da se ne razmaže.
Za takšen učinek sem se prej vedno morala zanesti na vodoodporno maskaro.
Ekstra plus točka.
Minus: The
mascara may clump the eyelashes together.
Pomanjkljivosti: Maskara
utegne zlepiti skupaj trepalnice.
Overall rating:
8/10
Končna ocena: 8/10

Tutorial: How to Take Part in a Blogger Giveaway and How to Properly Post a Comment
I was inspired for this post by panicky phone calls that I got from my friend's friends that they would really really like to take part in my giveaway but simply cannot manage to post a comment. At all. And what should they click on? And which profile should they choose? And when they did choose a profile, the whole comment dissappears. What's the hell is going on?
Okay, here it goes - how to post a comment on a blog for a giveaway:
Enjoy the Friday!

Feeling the Nostalgia
Today was a really beautiful sunny day in Ljubljana. Perfect for a cup of coffee in a cafe, a chat with a friend and... for some vintage shopping. Finally, the time (and the weather, mind you) has come for a bonafide vintage and second-hand market, filled with truly great bargains, creative people and - free Cockta:) (a Slovene version of coca-cola).
Everybody deserves a second chance - even clothes, especially since we live in a world which has become more globalized that everybody wears pretty the same thing. Except in Japan. Boy, I hope that the gothic lolita look is not coming to Slovenia... anyway... I think that it's important to leave your mark also in the fashion sense, to get creative and to put together things that other people normally wouldn't, to wear an expensive high-end piece with with something that you spent 5 euros on, to be bold!
So having said that, here are some tips on finding a great bargain at the vintage market:

So having said that, here are some tips on finding a great bargain at the vintage market:
- First, do a quick round around all the stands, you don't want to make any impulsive purchases
- Once you've found your piece and purchased it - don't not wash it at home:)
- Always haggle - you'd be surprised how much you can lower the original price.
- Don't worry if the original piece is too big for you, you can always take it to a seamstress and have it taken in
- If the piece is to small for you... don't friggin' buy it!

My International Giveaway (CLOSED)
Today, I met up with Maruša who likes to design colorful necklaces and earrings in her free time. I would like to say that I have a high respect for people who make hand-made jewelry. Actually, I have a high respect for people who make hand-made anything. There is something truly special about the whole process, from the inspiration in the designer's head to the final product. What I find really fascinating is that nobody knows how the final product is going to look like, probably not even the designers themselves. All of a sudden you just have the final product in front of you and it seems like the designer did not have anything to do with it, it's all work of an invisible creative force. It's... magic:) And the most wonderful thing to do in my opinion is to share that magic.
So, here it is, my first international giveaway and I will be giving away this unique hand-made necklace:

The Malloni Fashion Show
Yestersay, I attended the Malloni Fashion Show in Ljubljana. I have to admit I didn't know much about the label since I'd been invited by a friend who works as a part-time model (Special note to the reader: have friends from as many different background as possible, you never know where you might end up:))
I was immediately impressed by the interior design of the boutique, as there was an interplay of different elements, e.g. stone vs. wood, see the pic below:
The boutique is quite open and spacious, lots of whites and beiges which I find visually very attractive, I hate shops that ''attack'' the customers with too wild colors. The vocal point of the evening were not clothes, but accessories, actually. The labels were Freya Lupo, Tanja Zorn, Tomi Vugrinec, D'Alpaos and more.
