Great Discovery: Korean Makeup

Some time ago I wrote about my obsession with Youtube gurus. Since then the number of channels I follow has even increased and my obsession got even bigger (gotta be addicted to something, right? ;). Among all gurus that I follow are also Chriselle, Michelle and Jen, girls with Asian roots, who introduced Korean beauty products to me. While watching all those videos in which they praise about Asian cosmetics, I decided to try it out. I mean, who wouldn't want soft porcelain skin like theirs?! So I typed 'Korean makeup' in Ebay search and found brand Etude House. Bingo! Not only is it extremely cheap, but it's also very good quality (which doesn't happen very often) and just look at those cute princess-perfect packagings! I ordered three products at the beginning but I'm sure my Korean collection will get even bigger in future.

ETUDE HOUSE GOODBYE PORE EVER PRIMER

I haven't been using a primer for a while now but when I tried this one, I realized I've been missing out a lot. Goodbye Pore Ever evens the skin tone and makes your face look fresh and soft. It's suitable for all skin types and tones. The texture feels like silk and it's perfect for cold winter or hot summer days. I always use it after applying my daily cream and before foundation. Price: 8,30$.

ETUDE HOUSE ETOINETTE CRYSTAL SHINE LIPSTICK (in color PPK006)

This cute princess packaging immediately caught my eye. It was actually the main reason for my purchase, next to wide range of different colors. When I got it, the packaging wasn't the only thing I was excited about. The texture of lipstick is very moisturizing and creates a divine feeling on your lips. It gives you that juicy and shiny effect and even if it lasts very long, I guarantee you'd want to re-apply it every half an hour (so soft, ah). It comes in eight shades and costs only 3,66$.

ETUDE HOUSE ROSY TINT LIPS (in color English Garden)

The main reason I bought this product was a special applicator which is some kind of sponge that absorbs lipstick and creates long lasting apperance. I usually apply it after linig my lips with lip liner. Add a touch of lipgloss over it and the result are full and kissable lips. You can choose from eight shades ranging from orange to pink and deep red color. Price: 8,18$

Are you also as excited about Korean beauty as I am? Let me know which products are your favourite, since I'd love to extend my small Korean collection ;) Xo

Pred nekaj časa sem pisala o svoji obsedenosti z YouTube gurujkami in danes lahko rečem, da je moja 'odvisnost' samo še večja. Med vsemi kanali, ki jim sledim, so tudi Michelle Phan, Chriselle Lim in Jen, dekleta azijskih korenin, ki so me navdušila nad korejsko kozmetiko. Morda se 'korejska kozmetika' na začetku res sliši malo čudno, ampak zagotavljam vam, da nima nikakršne povezave s cenenimi izdelki kitajskih trgovin. Ko sem si tako ogledovala videe, v katerih dekleta neizmerno hvalijo vse te lepotne izdelke, sem se odločila, da jih tudi sama preizkusim. V Ebay sem enostavno vtipkala 'Korean Makeup' in odkrila znamko Etude House. Bingo, zadetek v polno! Ne samo, da je kozmetika izjemno poceni ampak je tudi izredno kvalitetna (kar se ne zgodi ravno pogosto) in v zelooo simpatičnih embalažah. Naročila sem tri izdelke, vendar sem prepričana, da se jim bo v prihodnosti pridružilo še veliko drugih. Poleg Ebaya so izdelki Etude House na voljo tudi v spletni prodajalni Destination Pretty.

ETUDE HOUSE GOODBYE PORE EVER PRIMER

Že nekaj časa nisem uporabljala primerja, ob nakupu tega pa sem ponovno ugotovila kakšno razliko naredi. Goodbye Pore Ever izenači ton kože in jo naredi gladko. Je primeren za popolnoma vse tipe, saj se prilagodi naravnemu odtenku kože, lahka tekoča tekstura pa ustvari učinek svile. Sama ga nanesem po nanosu dnevne kreme in pred nanosom pudra. Cena: 6€

ETUDE HOUSE ETOINETTE CRYSTAL SHINE LIPSTICK (odtenek PPK006)

Moram priznati, da me je pri tej šminki najprej pritegnila simpatična roza embalaža, ki je čisto taka za princeske! Poleg tega je bila neverjetno poceni (približo 3€), zato sem si jo kupila in.. bila pozitivno presenečena! Tekstura je izjemno vlažilna in na ustnicah ustvari božanski občutek. Je tudi zelo obstojna, na voljo pa je 10 odtenkov, ki so razporejeni glede na oranžni ali roza podton. Priporočam!

ETUDE HOUSE ROSY TINT LIPS (odtenek English Garden)

Še eden izmed 'korejskih izdelkov', ki me je prijetno presenetil. Za nakup me je (poleg spet zelo simpatične embalaže) prepričal poseben aplikator, ki je nekakšna gobica, ki se navzame šminke in na ustnicah ustvari izjemno obstojen videz barvice. Na voljo je osem odtenkov, ki zajemajo vse od oranžne, do pink in temno rdeče barve. Cena: 6€.

Kaj pa ve, ste že preizkusile korejsko kozmetiko? Kako se vam zdi? Vabljene, da z mano delite vaše najljubše izdelke. Xo

Airport Style

Without a doubt aiport is one of the best places to spot authentic celebrity style. Airport fashion, particulary the celebrity kind, has never held greater fascination. I guess people just like to see how someone puts herself together in a real-life moment. Unlike the red carpet looks and many more fabulous moments of a celebrity's life that seem so airbrushed, this offers a glimpse of reality. It's that 'un-retouched' element that people love to witness. I've looked through many photos and realized there occur three airport styles (excluding Lady Gaga, who obviously deserves a special category).

Kdo bi si mislil, da bodo prav letališča tista, kjer lahko nekdo dobi največ inspiracije od slavnih zvezdnic. So prostor, kjer jih zmeraj ulovijo gruče paparacev in zato mora biti njihova odločitev o tem, kaj bodo oblekle, vsaj pol toliko tehtna kot tista za kak gala dogodek. Ker se za pot (najverjetneje) oblačijo brez pomoči stilistov, pride do izraza njihov pravi smisel za modo. Ob pregledovanju slik sem opazila, da je mogoče njihove 'letališke stile' razvrstiti v tri skupine (razen Lady Gage, ki je definitivno razred zase).

CHIC

Celebrities with chic airport style don't give much to the comfort. I mean, how can you spend hours on a plane in short skirt and heels? Doesn't work for me but I guess it works for them. However they sure look amazing. If you're a type of girl who has that girly, romantic stlye, this is your inspiration. Go for a flirty dress or cute skirt and pair it with cashmere sweather and elegant bag. Emma Watson and Miranda Kerr are a real eye catchers when it comes to their effortlessly chic airport looks.

Key pieces: hat, flirty dress, classic bag, delicate jewelry

Te zvezdnice ne dajo veliko na udobje, ampak jim je najpomembneje to, da tudi na letalu izgledajo karseda šik. Nenazadnje nikoli ne veš kdaj te bo 'ujel' kak paparac, kajne? ;) Emma Stone, Miranda Kerr in Taylor Swift so dekleta z dekliškim, romantičnim stilom, ki ga le še poudarijo z lahkotnimi oblekicami in elegatnimi torbicami. Ne morem reči, da jim je na letalu ravno udobno, ampak vsaj izgledajo dobro ;)

Ključni kosi: sončna očala, klobuk, elegantna torbica, lahkotna oblekica

COMFY
Unlike the chic group, these celebrities swear by comfort. Forget about the bright colors and narrow cuts.. it's all about neutral colors and good feeling. The main thing about the comfy airport style is the layering. This way one can easily adjust to high and low temperatures. Big scarf and even bigger shades are a must. But if you decide to go for comfort- please follow the example of Selena and ignor Heidi Klum's ridiculous military tracksuit.

Key pieces: scarf (one or more), hoodie, parka, backpack

Za razliko od prve skupine, ki jim največ pomeni izgled, te zvezdnice prisegajo na udobje. Bistvenega pomena pri tem načinu oblačenja je praktično plastenje, ki omogoča prilagajanje različnim temperaturam. Brez šala pri tem stilu ne gre, obvezna pa je tudi bombažna jopica in velika sončna očala, ki zakrijejo utrujen obraz.

Moram priznati, da nekaterim ta enostaven, domač stil prav pristaja. Selena npr. še z malomarno oblečeno jakno in ovita v šal izgleda izjemno dobro. Po drugi strani pa je Heidi Klum ta 'comfy look' vzela preveč resno..

Ključni kosi: šal, široka bombažna jopica, parka, nahrbtnik

COOL
Now these are the looks that I like the most- not to elegant and not to messy. Their outfits give the impression of indifference but this is what makes them so cool. Black is a must-have if you opt for this style and headphones are just that icing on the cake. Don't forget to wear a beanie and some cool sneakers, combined with even cooler (and this season so fashionable) backpack.

Key pieces: leather jacket, headphones, sneakers, beanie, shades

Te zvezdnice definitivno vedo, kako izgledati kul. To je nekakšna vmesna pot med chich in comfy look-om. Ne izgledajo preveč elegantne, njihova oblačila so udobna, ampak še zmeraj izražajo njihov stil. Outfiti dajejo vtis brezbrižnosti, ampak ravno zaradi tega delujejo še toliko bolj zanimivi. Črna barva je tukaj definitivno must-have, kapa, usnjena jakna in slušalke na ušesih, pa le še dodajo tisto piko na i.

Ključni kosi: usnjena jakna, slušalke, frajerske teniske, kapa, velika sončna očala

I know that we, mere mortals, don't usually think too much when choosing clothes for the airport, but these celebrities prove, that how you look is important even at the airports. They prove that you can look chic and feel comfortable all at the same time. Now tell me, which airport style is your favourite? What do you usually wear on a longer plane trip? Can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below! ;)

Res, da mi, navadni smrtniki, običajno ne razmišljamo kaj preveč glede izbire oblačil, ki jih bomo oblekli na letalo. Ampak zvezdnice s svojimi izbranimi stili dokazujejo, da je tudi na letališču treba izražati svoj stil in so lahko odličen navdih pri izbiranju vašega naslednjega 'potovalnega outfita'. Kaj pravite, kateri stil vam je najbolj všeč? Kaj imate po navadi oblečeno, ko se odpravljate na daljše potovanje?
