Hello, dobrodošli u još jedan Farmasi post! Moja opsjednutost ovim brandom iz dana u dan nekontrolirano raste, ali raste opravdano. Sve što sam do sad probala mi je odlično i pritom ne pretjerujem. U današnjem postu napisat ću svoje dojmove of VFX puderu i primeru.

Primer je nedavno stigao u katalog i piše da je limitirano izadnje, tako da ću već sad reći da požurite s narudžbom. :) U novom katalogu cijena mu je 59 kn dok je puder 69 kn. Puder dolazi u 5 nijansi: Porcelain, Vanilla, Natural Beige, Dark Beige i Natural Rose. Moj je Natural Beige.

Krenut ću s primerom. Evo što piše u katalogu:

„VFX makeup primer trenutačno zaglađuje pore i sitne bore, briše nepravilnosti te čini kožu nježnom i glatkom. Savršeno priprema kožu za nanošenje šminke, idealan je za sve boje tena. Značajno pospješuje dugotrajnost kompletnog makeupa.“

Gelaste je strukture, proziran i suh, ali opet nije suh, uopće ne znam kako to objasniti. Ne isušuje lice, a ni ne masti ga. Dovoljna je mala količina da se pokriju svi dijelovi lica (ja primer stavljam na čelo, podočnjake, nos i bradu). Kombinirala sam ga s par pudera i zaista se lijepo ponaša sa svima, ali nekako najbolji rezultat daje s VFX puderom iz iste linije. Zaista mi popuni pore, zagladi kožu i šminka mi traje cijeli dan. Skroz sam zadovoljna i već sam kupila zalihe hehe.

Što se tiče pudera, evo što Farmasi kaže o njemu:

„Daje vizualni učinak retuširane, besprijekorne, glatke kože spremne za foto-objektiv. S implementiranom foto-filter tehnologijom, lomi zrake svjetla pružajući nevidljivi matte finish, čak i na fotografijama krupnog plana.“

Prije svega, želim reći koliko sam oduševljena pakiranjem. Staklena, ako mogu reći elegantna, ambalaža s pumpicom – pun pogodak! Ja imam suhu kožu i iako je ovo puder s mat završnicom uopće mi je dodatno ne isušuje (uvijek kožu prije nanošenja dobro hidratiziram). Dovoljna mi je jedna i pol pumpica da prekrijem cijelo lice. Lagane je teksture, lako se nadograđuje te ima srednju do visoku moć prekrivanja. Prekrio mi je crvenilo, podočnjake i manje prištiće, ali nije uspio skroz prekriti ogromni prišt nasred čela iako ga je vidljivo umanjio haha. I ovo što kažu da je odličan za fotografije, ne lažu. Lice mi na fotkama nikad nije izgledalo bolje! (Vidi ovdje i ovdje).

Kombinacija ova dva proizvoda za mene je čisti pogodak! Otkad sam ih kupila nisam posegnula ni za jednim drugim puderom i primerom. A, super stvar je što su često na sniženju. Jeste li ih vi probali? Ili bilo što drugo od Farmasija? Pišite u komentarima <3

Hello and welcome to another Farmasi post! My obsession with this brand is growing uncontrollably day by day and my love for it is totally justified! Everything I’ve tried so far is great - and I’m not exaggerating. Today’s post will focus on Farmasi VFX primer and foundation.

They recently came out with the primer and it is a limited edition so I’m telling you right now to hurry up with the order :D In the new catalogue the price is 59kn while the foundation costs 69kn and it comes in 5 shades: Porcelain, Vanilla, Natural Beige, Dark Beige and Natural Rose.

I'll start the review with the primer. Here's what the brand says about it:

“VFX makeup primer temporarily smoothes the pores and fine lines, removes textural irregularities and makes the skin soft and smooth. It perfectly prepares skin for makeup application and is ideal for all skin tones. It significantly helps makeup last longer.”

Its structure is that of a gel, it is transparent and dry, but at the same time it does not feel dry (I don’t know how to explain this feeling on skin). It does not dry my face, nor does it make my face oily. A small amount of primer is enough to cover all the parts (I put it on my forehead, dark circles, nose and chin). I combined it with several foundations and it does apply and work nice with each one of them, but somehow the best result comes when combined with the VFX foundation from the same line. It really does fill my pores, it smoothes my skin and my makeup lasts all day. I am quite satisfied and I already have a couple of primers in stock (just in case).

And here’s what Farmasi says about the foundation:

“It gives the visual effect of retouching, flawless and smooth skin ready for taking photos. With the implemented photo-filter technology, it breaks the light rays while providing invisible matte finish, even on large-scale photographs.”

First of all, I want to say how awesome this packaging is. The glass bottle, and a very elegant one if I may say, with a pump top – bingo! I have a dry skin and although this is a foundation with a matte finish, it doesn’t dry it out (I always make sure that my skin is well hydrated before applying any foundation). A little bit more than one pump is enough to cover my entire face. It is lightweight, easy to build up and it has a medium to high coverage. It covered my redness, dark circles and little spots, but it didn’t cover a quite big pimple in the middle of my forehead (LOL) even though it was noticeably diminished haha. And this thing about the foundation being great for taking photos is true. My face never looked better on photos! (See here and here).

The combination of these two products is a real hit for me! I didn’t reach for any other primer or foundation since I bought these. And the great thing is that they’re often on discount. Have you tried them? Or anything else from Farmasi? Let me know down in the comments!

Love you all,

Nina

Hello ljudi!

Napokon je na red došla recenzija Skinny Coffee Club-a, odnosno kave kojom vas malo bombardiram na mom instagram profilu. Prije par tjedana su me iz branda kontaktirali i pitali bih li probala ovaj proizvod, a da zauzvrat objavim par slika na društvenim mrežama. Pa, zašto ne? Viđala sam po instagramu cure koje reklamiraju ovo „čudo“ i uvijek se pitala djeluje li ili ne. I kao većinu, bilo me strah naručiti kavu za mršavljenje jer se uvijek javi ono pitanje - što ako ne djeluje i bacim novac? Da se razumijemo, ja ne vjerujem da ću pijući neki čarobni napitak tako i čarobno smršaviti, a da pritom ne radim ništa. Ali, vjerujem da određeni proizvodi mogu pomoći u procesu mršavljenja. A tako mi je bilo i s ovom kavicom.

Na njihovoj službenoj stranici piše da su rezultati vidljivi već u prvom tjednu korištenja, te da se:

brzo gubi kilaža

smanjuje apetit

povećavaju motivacija i energija

smanjuje nadutost

poboljšava izgled kože i

bolje spava.

Sastojci su mljevena kava, mljevena zelena kava, sibirski ginseng, spirulina (alga), ekstrakt zelenog čaja i Garcinia Cambogia. Neću pisati o svakom sastojku posebno; ako vas zanima možete potražiti na internetu :) Kava se pije jednom dnevno, odnosno jedna šalica dnevno. Ja ju obično popijem ujutro. Lijepog mi je okusa, nešto između kave i čaja s tim da miriši kao prava kava. Moram napomenuti da prehranu nisam mijenjala i nisam vježbala (tko me prati na Instagramu – da, odustala sam, ništa novo :/ ). Sadržaj vrećice trebao bi biti dovoljan za 28 dana – ja sam na 19., ali već vidim da će mi faliti za zadnjih par dana.

E sad – što sam ja primjetila? Prva stvar, koja je možda meni najbitnija, je ta da mi se smanjio apetit. Obično mi je poslije ručka čokolada bila neophodna, ali otkako pijem ovu kavu organizam mi uopće ne traži slatko i nemam potrebu svako malo prigristi nešto. Nadutost mi se smanjila i osjećam se nekako lakše. Nakon četiri dana stala sam na vagu i pokazala je dva kilograma manje. Tu sam se baš lijepo iznenadila, ali ipak vjerujem da je to bio višak vode u tijelu koji sam izbacila pomoću ovog proizvoda. Što se tiče energije, izgleda kože i spavanja, ne vidim razliku, ali ne gubim nadu, vidjet ću što će biti nakon dužeg perioda korištenja.

I još bih samo nešto htjela reći. Svaki put kad bih objavila nešto pozitivno u vezi Skinny Coffee-ja na instagramu, u inbox bi mi stigle poruke tipa „'ajde mi reci ozbiljno jel to pomaže“ i sl. Znam da su svi sumnjičavi i rado svima odgovorim, ali kad objavim nešto (bilo na blogu ili na instagramu), ne lažem o svojim dojmovima, bilo da sam proizvod sama kupila ili dobila (btw. ovo mi je prva suradnja ovog tipa, jeeej :D). Imala sam potrebu to napisati, čisto da se zna :D Ukoliko netko odluči naručiti, imate moj kod za popust od 20% - ninaizknina.

I to bi bilo to, zasad. Jučer sam naručila novi okus – cimet – i jedva čekam da stigne!

Jeste vi ikad probali Skinny Coffee Club i je li vas ovaj post zaintrigirao? Želim znatiiii, pišite mi u komentarima :D

Ljubim vas,

Nina, xoxo

Hello my dear friends!

My thoughts about Skinny Coffee Club – the coffee that I annoy you with on my Instagram - are finally here! A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the brand and asked if I would like to try this product, and in return, publish a couple of photos of it on my social networks. Well, why not? I was constantly seeing girls on Instagram advertising this little “miracle” and always wondered whether it works or not. And like everyone, I was afraid to order a coffee that helps you lose weight because the following question would always pop up in my mind – what if this is just a scam and I am throwing my money away? To be clear – I don’t believe that by drinking some magical drink I will magically lose weight, while doing absolutely nothing. But, I do believe that certain products can help in the weight loss process. And that is the case with this coffee.

Their official website says that the results are visible in just one week, and it claims to:

lose weight at a fast rate

increase energy levels

reduce appetite

reduce bloating

improve complexion or radiant glow, and

sleep better.

Ingredients: Ground Coffee, Ground Green Coffee, Siberian Ginseng, Spirulina, Green Tea Extract, Garcinia Cambogia. I won’t write about each ingredient; if you are interested you can google it J One mug of Skinny Coffee is required each day and I usually drink it in the morning. It has a nice taste – something between coffee and tea, but it smells like real coffee. I have to mention that I didn’t change my diet and I didn’t exercise (those of you who follow me on Instagram – yeah, I gave up, nothing new, shame on me :/ ). It says that this is a 28 day weight loss program – I am on my 19^th day, but I already see that I’ll run out of the product soon.

What did I notice? The first thing, and probably the most important for me, is that Skinny Coffee helped reduce my appetite. Usually, I would always grab a piece of chocolate after lunch, but since I’ve been drinking this, my body doesn’t “ask” for any sweets and I don’t need to grab a ton of snacks during the day. Also, Skinny Coffee helped reduce my bloating and somewhat I feel a lot lighter. After four days of using it, the scale showed two kilos less. I was really surprised, but I believe that I just got rid of the water retention. As for energy levels, complexion and sleeping improvements, I didn’t notice any difference, but I'm not losing hope – still have a lot to drink!

And I just want to say something for the end. Each time I would post something positive about Skinny Coffee on my Instagram, I would get a lot of DMs saying something like this: “seriously, tell me here if this helps.” I know that everyone is sceptical and I gladly reply to each person, but I just want to say that whenever I post something about a certain product, I write honestly and I don’t care whether I bought the product with my own money, or I received it for free (btw, this was my first collaboration of this kind, yaaay :D I had the need to write this, please don’t mind. And, if someone decides to order Skinny Coffee, you have my 20% discount code – ninaizknina.

And that would be all for now. I ordered a new flavour yesterday – cinnamon – and I can’t wait for it to arrive!

Have you ever tried Skinny Coffee? Was this post intriguing? I really want to know so write me in the comments below!!

Love you all,

Nina, xoxo
