NOTD: Fleur de Santé HOT RED!

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

I already mentioned this polish in my Fleur de Santé post, check it out here: click. Time to show you this beauty!
Tale Fleur de Santé lak sem omenila že v skupni objavi tule KLIK. Sedaj je čas, da pokažem tega lepotca!

 Glitter is hard to capture. / Težko je fotografirati bleščice.
 
It's red polish with teeny tiny red glitter, and it's absolutely gorgeous! I'm sucker for red polishes, it's always
my "go to" polish (or blue or black:)). I have probably 10 polishes in "red family", but haven't had a beauty like this one before. I also wore it three times in a row, which is really unlikely for me.
Lak je rdeče barve, ima drobne bleščice in je prelep! Obožujem rdeče lake, vedno izberem rdeč odtenek, ko ne vem, katerega bi uporabila. Mislim, da imam okoli 10 lakov v "družini rdečih", vendar noben ni takšen kot ta. Celo nosila sem ga trikrat zaporedoma, kar se običajno nikoli ne zgodi.


 
Do you love it or do you love it? :) / Vam je všeč ali všeč? :))

It comes in a squared bottle, 7 ml content and tiny brush, although it's a really good brush. I'm a clumsy polisher, but I managed to apply it without problems. I used two coats to achieve complete opacity, but one coat has pretty good coverage.
Steklenička je štirikotna, ima 7 ml vsebino in majhen čopič, vendar je super. Sama sem dosti nerodna pri lakiranju, vendar mi je spelo nalakirati brez večjih problemov. Nanesla sem dve plasti, čeprav je tudi že z eno dosti prekriven.

 
What are your thoughts? Which is your "go to" polish colour? :)
Kaj pa ti meniš o tem laku? Katere barve je tvoj "go to" lak? :)

Have a lovely Monday!
Pa lep ponedeljek ti želim!

* Product was sent to me for review. / Idelek mi je bil poslan v oceno.

Saturday Fitness Progress: 1 centimeter is still a progress

Hello, my Fit peeps! How are you doing today? It's snowing here again and I am sick and tired of this winter weather. I need sun, mmm-kay?

Source: Pinterest

Anyways, I posted my first Fitness Progress Saturday post exactly one month ago( you can read it here: click), and this month was hectic for me. I was studying and doing other assignments most of the time, had insomnia and my energy was low during the day. Highlight of the day was doing a workout, which sometimes wasn't the best performance because lack of energy, that's why I didn't exercise some days. Also, when I am tired I usually eat more, even though I eat healthy, I still need to stick to portion sizes!

However, this month taught me that sleep is your numero uno friend. I felt disgusting in the morning, skin looked dull, I felt bloated. Secondly, don't eat food just because you feel sorry for yourself because you need to study! Now that I passed my exam (still not finished with uni though), my sleep is back to normal, I eat healthy, energy for working out and for other daily activities is getting back to normal as well. And now to the measurement ... (measurements are in centimeters)

So measurement haven't drastically changed, now I can really see how stress and not sleeping properly effect my body. But still, one centimeter (two are even better!!:)) is still a progress. I mean, I could write down lower numbers, but I would be lying only to myself.

Good thing is that I feel tighter all over. Skin is better looking and my arms look buffer :). I haven't practiced any of the exercises I want to become pro at, but I'll be more consistent this time! Still doing a lot of planking (I hold plank for 1 minute 45 seconds now :)), squats, burpees and lunges ...

 "Before and after"

I wish you all a happy healthy weekend! You deserve it ;)

My first swap ever: Valentine swap

I joined  Sweetaholic beauty's Valentine swap. This was my first swap ever and it was so fun! Looking forward for doing more in the future ;) Jasmine paired me with Amy, who blogs over at Bottled Beauty. Check her out! She is so lovely.

Anyways, I received the package extremely fast, in one week that is, and she is from Australia! She still haven't received mine, although I send it one day before she did.

Here are the goodies she got me:

She wrote me a Valentine's card, which I believe is first one in my life which is not from my mother :D (don't laugh!)

I really wanted to try Revlon Just Bitten Kissable stains, because they are not sold here in Narnia. She got me colours Sweetheart/Valentine and Smitten/Éprise. Anyone knows why do they have 2 names? 
Anyways, I got so excited when I opened Sweetheart that I damaged a tip of a stain with a cap, need to be more gentle with my babies :). So far I like them!

 
I'm not a Rimmel virgin anymore! :D
 Look at this gorgeous shade! It's red, dark red but on a berry side. It smells amazing and I think it goes really well with my skin tone! Although I never match anything to my skintone. I rock everything :P 
Oh, this lippie is Lasting finish by Kate in  09 Rossetto.

Another Rimmel product is their Glam eyes Professional Liquid eyeliner. I love that brush is tiny so you can do a really fine line and it's also really pigmented. I've read that it's a good product, now it's my turn to be the judge :)

We have Essence in Slovenia, but she got me Lipstick pencil in 01 Cherry cherry girl from their Cherry Blossom collection. I believe that this collection is not sold here anymore, but I also haven't bought anything from it, but I really liked those pencils. And now I have one :)

 
Quick swatches. From left to right: Rimmel Rossetto, Essence Cherry Cherry girl, Revlon JBK Sweetheart and Smitten. Underneath is swatched Rimmel eyeliner.

Another Rimmel product she got me is their Lasting finish nail polish in 500 Disco ball. I mean, who doesn't love disco balls? I want to have one at home when I have my own place :D. But disco ball nails will have to do for now :D
Then she added some Australian brands, I always love to try new products :).
This glitter baby is by Australis Nail glitter top coat in Fairy bread. It looks alike to Essence Confetti one, but colours are slightly different and glitter is in different shapes.

 Another Australis product is Lash TLC conditioning mascara. I was pleasantly surprised that wand is curved, I actually used to curve straight wands on my own. I had no expectations, whatsoever, but I was surprised how amazing this mascara is. It lenghtens my lashes, but it also gives me volume. And Lord knows I need help with that :D

 I feel like this post is taking forever :D
She also got me 2 blushes, first one is BYS blusher in Fierce fuschia. It's such a pretty mixture of pink and coral shade with shimmer, never seen before a beauty like this one!
Second one is Essence Cherry blossom girl blush in 01 Asain sensation. It has two shades: blush and highlight. Really handy ;).

 Quick swatches: from left to right: Essence lighter shade, darker shade and BYS.

 Last but not least, is Eye shadow palette Summer days from Sports girl. She said this brand is like Australian Topshop and she got it for weekly makeup tags ;). How thoughtful!
Unfortunately, one of the shadows broke as you can see, but other colours are still in one piece and ready to use :)

Aaaand that's it. I hope she receives her package soon, I got her Catrice products and I hope she likes it all :).
You'll see all the products mentioned here in my future posts. 

Thank you for reading and have an amazing day!!
