Essence TE Cubanita: first impression and swatches

Hello!

This summer Essence takes us to Cuba, the country of rhythmic dances and colourful Cadillacs to spread Caribbean flair with summery colours and tropical packaging designs. Essence Slovenija was kind enough to send me some products to try out and since Cubanita collection just hit the stores, here are my first impressions. 

8 products worth the splurge

Hello!

My parents taught me from a young age that money is something that is earned not given, for which i am eternally grateful. That said, I was soon a very skillful child that knew how to hustle :) It still shows now, I would say I'm very good with handling my money. That includes generally not splurging on cosmetic products that are used often and very quickly. Market is so saturated with different brands that it's not hard to find affordable yet good products. Still from time to time certain products will grab my attention regardless of the price. In this post I'd like to show you a few products that are over my usual budget but are worth the splurge. First a disclaimer in case somebody reads this post and think the products are not expensive - I tried and compared the price of these products with the price of an average drugstore item in this category. Whether you find a product cheap or expensive of course depends on a person.

Hello!

Finally a nail post on my blog :) I have so many pictures ready to be edited but then I always go and edit product photos because it's faster (I don't edit my photos too much, my main problem is deciding which nail polish photos too use because I always take a bunch of them).

Mont Bleu glassware review and giveaway

Hello!

I am a glass nail file believer. It started quite a few years back when glass nail files first entered our market. My first glass nail file was an Essence nail file, that wasn't very good. The file had only a layer of glass and it quickly became useless. It was however enough to make me interested. After that I tried a few brands and soon I exclusively used Credo nail files. Credo is not available anymore in Slovenia and since my nail files slowly started breaking, I was very interested in trying Mont Bleu products. Mont Bleu is a company from Czech republic; country known for its quality crystal glass products. What​ I love about their products (and crystal glass products in general) in how long lasting they are and that they can be easily washed and sterilized if needed.
