Unusual beauty tip: many uses of an eyeshadow primer

Ah, eyeshadow primer ... makes my life much less complicated :D. I have hooded lids and eyeshadows crease on me in no time. But you can use your eyeshadow primer in many other ways. Let's find out how :)


1. When you apply your eye primer on your lid, make sure you apply it on your lower lashline as well if you intend to put any shadows or pencil there. It will prevent smudging all over your face.

 

2. Use it as a base before you fill in your brows. If you apply eyeshadow or brow shadow on your brows, it will stay on longer if you apply primer on your brows first. I do that especially whenever I do black brows for weekly tag or any other crazy look.


3. Apply it around your lips to prevent lipstick from smudging. I thought this "technique" by Petite Sal, when she posted a tutorial how to get perfect red lips (check it out here: click). Primer around your lips is actually like a lip liner, an invisible lip liner and it prevents smudging your lipstick!


4. Have some fine smiling lines around your lips? You can apply your eyeshadow primer there before foundation if you don't want to use all over face primer, this will smooth out that area and prevent foundation from getting in those lines! Make sure eyeshadow primer is matte, you don't want any unwanted shimmer around your lips.




5. You can also use it as a concealer if primer is in "concealer color" and has no shimmer.


If you have any other ideas how to use an eyeshadow primer and how do you use it, please, share it with the world in a comment ;)
Thank you for reading!

Fleur de Santé Liquid eye liner REVIEW

*All Fleur de Santé posts will be written in English and Slovene / Vse Fleur de Santé objave bodo napisane v angleščini in slovenščini.



I love liquid eyeliners. Winged liner has been my signature look for many years and I still love it! Such a classic timeless look, can't go wrong with it! :)
With that said, I was really happy when I received Fleur de Santé Liquid eye liner, because girl can never have too many liquid eyeliners. :) Now to the review.
Obožujem tekoče eyelinerje, klasična črna črta je že dolgo moj vsakdanji makeup in nikoli ne gre iz mode :). Zato sem bila zelo vesela, ko sem prejela Fleur de Santé liquid eyeliner, ker dekle nikoli nima preveč tekočih eyelinerjov :). Sedaj pa k oceni izdelka.


Eyeliner comes in black packaging, 4 ml content. Tip of an actual eyeliner is spongy, not a brush, which I like, I think it's easier to apply it that way. However, I was little bit dissapointed because the tip is a little bit round and if you're a clumsy applier this can be a problem. Also, if you cry or your eyes water a lot, it will smudge, because it's not waterproof.
Embalaža je črna s 4 ml vsebino. Konica eyelinerja ni čopič, temveč je (kako se temu reče? :D) "spužvast", "gobast" :D. Skrajna konica je malce zaobljena, kar zna povzročati probleme, če nisi previden. Eyeliner ni vodoodporen, če se dosti jokaš ali se ti solzijo oči, potem verjetno ni zate.


Thin, little bit thicker and thick line. You can see it's not the most pigmented eyeliner./ Tanka, malce debelejša in debelejša črta. Na sliki se vidi, da ni najboljl pigmentiran.

Now to the colour of an eyeliner. If you like the blackest black eyeliner, then this one is not for you. Once you apply your first line, your skin will still be showing through. But I always go over it one more time to fix some mistakes. However, also with two applications is not the most black colour.
Barva eyelinerja ni najbolj črna, ko naneseš prvo črto, se bo pod njo še vedno videla koža. Vendar jaz vedno nanesem še enkrat, da popravim manjše napake. Vendar tudi po dveh nanosih še vedno ni najbolj črna.





It will wash out under the water. / Pod vodo se bo spral.

My conclusion is that you can still work with it. I managed to do quite thin line and wore it for 8 hours without any smudging or other problems. It's not the best out there, but I've used worse and I've used better ones, too.
Moj zaključek je, da je eyeliner še vedno uporaben, jaz sem uspela narediti precej tanko črto in ga nosila okoli 8 ur brez razmazovanja ali drugih problemov. Eyeliner ni najboljši na trgu, vendar sem uporabljala že slabše in tudi boljše.

What I ate

I haven't done "what I ate" post in a while, so let's do it today. :) It's basically a post about all meals I had in a day, so you get an idea what do I eat.

Meal 1:
"Pancake" made out of 2 eggs and little bit of coconut flour, I topped it with 1/2 of honey, raw cocoa (unsweetened) and half of banana. Had my cup of green tea with it, of course. 

Meal 2:
 An apple and 10 almonds. I try to balance any kind of fruit with some protein and almonds are a good source of it (and also fat).

Meal 3:
 I had warm salad: some chicory and mixed veggies, I just put them in a pan with some olive oil and topped it with some brie cheese.

Meal 4:
 This was my pre workout meal, I made myself a green smoothie, I usually put 1/3 fruit (usually mango, kiwi, frozen strawberries or half of banana, it depends on what I have at home), 1/3 spinach and 1/3 coconut water or regular water. I put one tsp of hemp protein powder or on tsp of chia seeds.
Meal 5:
And this was my post workout meal. Cooked sweet potatoes and mixed veggies (brussel sprouts, red pepper, onion, garlic, eggplant and beans).

I try to incorporate lean protein, carbohydrates (veggies and fruits) and healthy fats in every meal, but not every meal is always perfect. I just do my best :). This day was quite good.

Tell me if you would be interested in more posts like this one, I actually quite enjoy writing them :)

I wish you all happy and healthy Thursday!

Fleur de Santé Amaze eye shadow Green REVIEW

*All Fleur de Santé posts will be written in English and Slovene. / Vse Fleur de Santé objave bodo napisane v angleščini in slovenščini.


Another Fleur de Santé product, mono eyeshadow this time. It's pretty khaki green with golden shimmer. It applies easily, blends very well and lasts for long time. I always use primer, because I have hooded lids and they can be little bit oily sometimes, but this eyeshadow is quite pigmented even without primer. It didn't crease on me and it stayed the same until I removed my makeup (8 hours +).
Še en Fleur de Santé proizvod, enojno senčilo. Gre za kaki zeleno barvo z zlatim šimrom. Nanese se zlahka, z ostalimi senčkami se lepo zabriše in življenjska doba na veki je dolga:). Jaz vedno uporabim primer, ker imam povešene veke in znajo biti malce mastne, vendar je senčilo že samo dovolj pigmentirano. Z nabiranjem v gubo nisem imela težav in senčka je ostala nespremenjena dokler je nisem odstranila (nosila sem jo več kot 8 ur).
 
Left: over primer, right: on its own. / Levo čez primer in desno sama senčka.


Packaging is like a little jar, matte black, really sleek looking, but it gets dirty quite easily. But I think it looks pretty. It has 1.8g content.
Embalaža je kot majhen lonček (na navoj) ,mat črna, lepega izgleda, vendar se hitro umaže. Količina senčila je 1,8g.

It's hard to photograph! / Težko jo je fotografirati!

Now back to the colour itself. I combined it with matte black and gold to make it more "me", but you can easily blend it with brownish eyeshadows and create more natural look. I wouldn't wear it on its own, I would put some brown shadow in crease to create some demension, but everyone is different :)
Pa še nazaj k barvi. Jaz sem jo kombinirala z mat črno, ker mi je tako všeč, vendar jo z lahkoto kombiniraš z rjavimi senčkami za bolj naraven videz. Samo čez celo veko je ne bi nosila, vsekakor bi nanesla rjavo senčko v gubo za malce dimenzije, ampak vsak naj naredi, kar mu je všeč :)

And that's how it looks one me. / Tako pa izgleda na meni.

Although it's not an everyday eyeshadow for me, I think I will wear it quite often, because I think it's amazing!
Čeprav barva ni moja vsakdanja izbira, verjamem, da se bo na mojih očeh znašla kar pogosto, ker je proizvod odličen!

What do you think about this colour? Would you wear it?
Kaj pa ti meniš o tej barvi, bi jo nosila?

Fleur de Santé Rosewood desire REVIEW

* All Fleur de Santé posts will be written in English and Slovene. / Vse Fleur de Santé objave bodo napisane v angleščini in slovenščini.


Fleur de Santé Slovenia sent me this wonderful lipstick, I feel in love with immediately. It's matte red with brownish undertones. It's super creamy it glides on like butter! And it also smells amazing!
Fleur de Santé Slovenija mi je poslal tole čudovito šminko, v katero sem se takoj zaljubila. Je mat rdeča z rjavkastimi podtoni. Je kremne teksture in se nanaša kot puterček ;). Tudi diši precej lepo!


 
Firstly I applied some invisible lipliner, it's actually like some sort of a wax to prevent any smudging around my lips, because darker lipstick tend to bleed on me. Then I just applied lipstick directly on my lips. Like I said, it has creamy texture, had no problem with applying. It stayed on my lips for about 3 hours, then I had to eat :). But also after a meal my lips were a bit stained (darker lipsticks usually stain my lips a little), so I had to reapply it.
Najprej sem nanesla prozorno črtalo za ustnice, s tem sem preprečila, da bi se šminka preselila še kam drugam po obrazu, kar se pri meni, predvsem pri temnih šminkah, rado zgodi. Šminko sem nato nanesla direktno na ustnice, nisem imela problemov z nanašanjem, saj se nanaša lepo. Na mojih ustnicah je ostala tri ure, nato sem jedla. Po jedi so bile ustnice še vedno rahlo obarvane (temnejše šminke mi običajno rahlo obarvajo ustnice), tako da je potreben ponoven nanos.


Packaging is black plastic with gold details, 4g content. Sticker on the bottom has no name, just number, which can cause some difficulties, because you know, blogger has to write a name of the lipstick when you post a fotd :). This is the only con I found.
Embalaža je črna, plastična z zlatimi detajli, ima 4g vsebine. Nalepka na dnu embalaže nima imena, samo številko, kar zna biti nerodno, če imena ne veš, ker je potrebno napisati ime šminke, ko objaviš fotd :). To je edina slaba stran, ki sem jo našla.


However, I think this product is amazing, it goes with so many different makeup variations, it's absolutely worth getting it! :)
Menim, da je šminka super, kombinirala sem jo z različnimi senčkami na očeh in pristaja skoraj vsemu!

  
 And that's how it looks on me. / Tako pa izgleda na meni.
