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,

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

Današnji post čisto je informativnog karaktera, ali naći će se i poneko mišljenje o određenom proizvodu. Predstavit ću vam što sam dobila u MYSTERY BAG-u s Pink Pande kojeg dobijete uz kupnju iznad određenog iznosa (čini mi se da je kad sam ja uzimala iznos bio 300 kn). Dobila sam 10 proizvoda:

Kao što sam rekla, napisala sam samo općenito što sam dobila, uz pokoji dojam, ali sve u svemu i nisam baš zadovoljna. Sve proizvode za usne dobila sam u istoj boji, samo različitim nijansama. Vjerujem da u paket stave one proizvode koji se najmanje prodaju. Sviđa mi se ideja ovoga, ali ako već naručujem 300 kn (manje/više), mogli su se bolje potruditi (primjerice prilikom naručivanja staviti malu anketu o preferencijama kupca ili slično). Ako naručujete proizvode u određenom iznosu samo da bi dobili Mystery Bag, to vam nikako ne preporučujem, ali ako dođete do tog iznosa jer naručujete proizvode koji vam trebaju i koje želite, upišite i kod za ovo kad se bude nudio, pa isprobajte i vi. Jer šminke nikad dosta, zar ne? J

Do idućeg čitanja,

Nina, xoxo

Hello, hello!

Prije nego počnem pričati o današnjoj temi, samo želim reći da će dosta sljedećih postova biti o Farmasi proizvodima zbog toga što sam prikupila lijepu hrpicu u posljednje vrijeme, a svoje mišljenje želim podijeliti s vama. Oukej. :D

Okej. Danas je na repertoaru nova Farmasi paleta sjenila za oči. U katalogu su izašle dvije neutralne trio palete, Warm Nudes i Vice Brown, a ja sam se odlučila za Vice Brown. Pakiranje je od čvrstog kartona i na magnetsko zatvaranje te ima malo ogledalo i četkicu (koji su u mom slučaju neupotrebljivi) kao i zaštitnu foliju.

Iako paletica ima samo tri sjenila, može se kombinirati i za večernje izlaske i za svakodnevni look jer ima i shimmer, i neutralnu nijansu i malo tamniju.

Roskasti champagne shimmer je preeedivan – najbolje ga je nanositi prstima ili mokrom četkicom s tim da tad izgleda više metallic. Skroz je nekako mekan i baršunast i lako je nadogradiv. Ja sam ga koristila u unutarnjem dijelu oka, ali i preko cijelog kapka.

Sljedeća nijansa je savršena neutralna za pregib – mix smeđe i prigušene narančaste. Mekana je (iako ne toliko kao shimmer) i predivno se blenda, a pigmentacija je wow!

I na kraju imamo smeđu – ona me se najmanje dojmila zbog boje jer takvih imam dosta u svojoj kolekciji, ali kao i kod prethodne nijanse pigmentacija je odlična, kao i proces blendanja.

Sve u svemu, ja sam oduševljena! Osim odlične pigmentacije (na slikama možete vidjeti da nema prevelike razlike sa i bez baze), lakog blendanja i minimalnog trusenja, ova sjenila su dugotrajna. Ja imam masne kapke i uvijek stavljam bazu, ali često mi se događa da mi se sjenila skupe na pregibu i sve se na kraju zamrlja. Ali, ljudi moji, ovo je trajalo 9 sati (čak se nisu skinuli ni s donje strane, s donje vodene linije, kako li već :D)!! Također, imaju blagi miris, nekako puderast, ali to se na kapcima naravno ne osjeti. Usudila bih se reći da – what, what?! – kvalitetom podsjećaju na holy grail paletu – ABH Modern Renaissance. I to mi je zaista jedan veliki WOW s obzirom da je ovo kataloška prodaja (ne umanjujem vrijednost), ali dosadašnje iskustvo s primjerice Avonovim paletama mi je ne baš dobro, niti su pigmentirane niti dugotrajne. Farmasi je još jednom pokazao kako je brend na koji svaka šminkoholičarka treba obratiti pažnju i dokazao da ono što je kvalitetno, ne mora nužno biti skupo (trenutno je u katalogu 38 kn).

To bi za ovaj post bilo sve od mene. Sviđa li vam se paletica? Kakvo je vaše iskustvo s Farmasi proizvodima? Baš me zanima, tako da slobodno pišite u komentarima. J

Hello, hello!

Before I start writing about today's topic, I just want to say that many of the upcoming posts will be about Farmasi products because I have collected a nice pile lately, and I want to share my opinions with you. Okaaay. :D

Okay. So, in today's repertoire is the new Farmasi eyeshadow palette. Two neutral, trio palettes – Warm Nudes and Vice Brown – came out in the catalogue, and I decided to purchase the Vice Brown. The packaging is made of a cardboard with a magnet closure and has a little mirror and a brush (which are unusable in my case) as well as a protective foil.

Although the palette has only three shades, it is suitable for both evening and everyday looks as it has a shimmer, a neutral and a dark shade.

A rosy champagne shimmer is beauuutiful – it is best to apply it with fingers or a wet brush, although then it looks more metallic. It's soft, velvety, and easily buildable. I used it in the inner corner but also across the entire lid.

The next shade is a perfect neutral for the crease – a mixture of brown and dimmed orange. It's soft (although not as much as the shimmery one), blends beautifully, and the pigmentation is just WOOOW!

And the last shade is a warm brown – the colour didn't impress me because I have enough of those already in my collection, but as was the case with previous shades, the pigmentation is excellent as well as the blendability.

All in all, I am thrilled! Apart from the excellent pigmentation (you can see on the pictures that there is really no difference if you use an eyeshadow primer or not), easy blending process and minimal fallout, these eyeshadows are really long-lasting. I have oily eyelids and I always put an eyeshadow primer but it often happens to me that the shadow creases and everything eventually gets messy. But, buuuut, these lasted for nine hours on my eyes (the shadows didn't even get off from the bottom line)!! Also, they have a nice powdery smell, but you can't feel that on the eyelids, of course. I would dare to say that – what, what?! – this palette resembles the holy grail of all the eyeshadow palettes – the ABH Modern Renaissance. Yes, you read it right. And that is a big WOW because this is a catalogue sale (I do not diminish the value of this way of selling), but the experience I had with, for example, Avon palettes is terrible – they are neither pigmented nor long-lasting. Once again, Farmasi showed that they are a brand which every makeupholic should pay attention to, and proved that what is of good quality, does not necessarily need to be expensive (currently the palette costs 38 kunas – around 5 euros).

That would be all for this post. Do you like the palette? Do you have any experience with Farmasi products? I really want to know, so feel free to write in the comments section below. Thanks for reading! J
