MAKEUP REVOLUTION - FOCUS & FIX EYE PRIMER ORIGINAL VS. MATTE

Hello my lovely readers, how are you today?
After some nail art posts I think it's time for another make-up one :D
This time I'll be reviewing eye primers that I received from MAKEUP REVOLUTION LONDON.
To be honest, when I first saw them I was like ; why would they send me 2 same or similar products?! 
But I answer that question after I tried them =) There really is a big difference between them.


Pozdrav dragi čitatelji, kako ste mi danas?
Nakon silnih nail art postova mislim da je vrijeme za malo šminke :D
Ovaj put ću recenzirati baze za sjenila (prajmere) koje sam dobila od MAKEUP REVOLUTION LONDON.
Da budem iskrena, kad sam dobila prajmere, nije mi baš bilo jasno zašto bi mi poslali 2 ista ili slična proizvoda?! 
Ali to je pitanje nestalo nakon što sam ih isprobala =) Stvarno je velika razlika između njih.


As you can probably tell from the title and the picture above I've got the Original and Matte one.
Besides of these two there is a third option; the Brighten primer. I didn't try that one so I can't say much about it.

Kao što ste vjerojatno već do sad zaključili iz naslova i slike gore, danas ću vam pokazati Original i Matte prajmer.
Osim ova dva postoji još jedan , a to je Brighten. Nisam ga probala pa ne mogu reći puno o njemu.


 Hand swatch
Matte primer is more darker than the Original one, and more thicker in consistency. 
They both give my eyelids nice clean look, they evens out my skin tone and remove smaller imperfections on the eyelid (such as small capillaries) and also helps the eyeshadow go on much smoother!

Matte prajmer je tamniji od Original-a, i nešto gušći.
Oboje daju mojim kapcima "čist" i nekako gladak osjećaj, ujednače boju i smanjuju vidljivost manjih nesavršenosti na kapcima ( kao npr. kapilarica), isto tako nanošenje sjenila ide puno glađe i ujednačenije!

I have very sweaty eyes so the eyeshadow tends to wear off quite fast, when I apply one of these primers (depending on the eyeshadow) my eyeshadow last longer (at least 4 hours) without wearing off.

Moji kapci se dosta jako "znoje" ili maste tako da mi sjenilo ne traje dugo, ali primjetila sam kada nanesem neki od ova dva prajmera (ovisno o sjenilu) sjenila mi traju puno duže ( minimalno 4 sata) bez da izblijede.

You can see on this photo how Original is way more watery then the Matte one and it matches my skin tone (extra white) perfectly lol

Na ovoj slici možete vidjeti kako je Original vodeniji nego Matte i savršeno pristaje mom tonu kože ( ekstra bijel) lol


 These eye shadows are from  Colour Chaos Salvation Palette ( REVIEW ). They're all matte and as you can probably tell the colors stand out more over Matte primer. I also worn it on my eyes and they really last a long time. 

Ova su sjenila iz Colour Chaos Salvation Palete sjenila ( RECENZIJA ). Sva su mat i kao što vjerojatno i vidite na slici, više se ističu preko Matte prajmera. Nosila sam ih i na očima preko ovog prajmera i stvarno traju dugo.


 Of course I'm gonna show you how they look over shimmery eye shadows too =)
In this case the colors and the shimmer stand out more over Original primer.
This is the time when my question get an answer. They're definitely a lot different whit different tipes of eye shadows!

Naravno da ću vam pokazati kako izgledaju i preko svjetlucavih (shimmerastih) sjenila =)
U ovom slučaju boje i shimmer se više vide preko Original prajmera.
U trenutku kad sam nanijela ove swatcheve odgovorila sam si na pitanje. Stvarno su različiti i drugačije se ponašaju ovisno o tipu sjenila koje se koristi!

OVERALL: I really liked both of these, personally if I had to chose only one, it would be the Matte one. That's only because of my greasy eye lids, I think the Matte primer is more suitable in that case and it reduces the greasing more then Original one.
But since I have both I'll use them depending on the eye shadow . For matte eye shadows - Matte primer and for the shimmery ones the Original!!
They retails for 2.50 pounds and you can get it ONLINE HERE!

ZA KRAJ: Sviđaju mi se oba prajmera, ali ako bih morala izabrati samo jedan, bio bi to Matte. I to samo zbog mojih masnih kapaka, mislim da je Matte bolji u za osobe sa tim "problemom" jer smanjuje mašćenje više nego Original!!
Cijena im je 2,50 funti na službenim stranicama, a vi ga moje drage Balkanke možete kupiti i na Pink Pandi po 30,90 kn!!


What primer do you use? Do you use it at all?

Koji prajmer vi koristite? Da li ga uopće koristite?

Hvala na čitanju, ne zaboravite me naći i na

Do slijedećeg puta xoxo

LEAVES MATTE NAIL ART

Although there are a lot of winter manis out there I'm still in my fall mood so today, I'm gonna show you another fall themed nail art.


For the base I've used Vino tinto ( italian for dyed wine)  by Catrice, it's actually dark brownish polish with burgundy/red undertone, in pictures is more dark blue, idk why :/ 
I think it can be good alternative to black polish if you want dark nails but doesn't really like black look! 

For the leaves I've used acrylic paint because it's a lot more easier to clean brushes afterwards than when using polish!

I love the roses in the background =) do you?

 This is a nail art that requests a bit more time and patience, but still its not so hard that requests any special skills!!



 I almost forgot to mention that I've used O.P.I's Matte Top coat for this look!

What do you think? Did you like it?

Thank you for reading, don't forget to find me on

Till the next time xoxo

Salvation Palette -Colour Chaos by Makeup REVOLUTION a dupe for Urban Decay Electric palette!!

Hy guys, after many nail related posts it's time for another make-up one =)
Today I'm gonna show  you my favorite eye shadow palette at the moment. As you can tell from the title it's a Colour Chaos palette by Makeup REVOLUTION!!


I've discovered this brand not so long ago on facebook, it's a young cosmetic brand that launched in London in March 2014. 
They have dupes for lot of high end brands such as Urban Decay, Nars, Tarte etc. but for very affordable price and great quality!! I have to mention they're also cruelty free!!!
The products can be bought worldwide from their WEB PAGE for £6,00 and you Croatian ladies can get them on PINK PANDA for 60,90 kn. It's actually on sale now, the regular price is 68,90 kn =)
.


 Salvation Palette - Colour Chaos contains 18 shades, 7 matte and 11 shimmers. 
It contains awesome combination of brights, acid neons and some neutrals!! 



It comes in a nice carton case that contains palette itself.
The palette comes in a a sleek, black, glossy plastic case , it closes nicely and it gave me a filing of quality and non breakable packaging, suitable for traveling!! 
On the inside of the lid is a large mirror and you also get a two side applicator!!

A lot of bloggers compares this palette to Urban Decay Electric one, and although I don't own UD I can tell from the pictures bellow that Colour Chaos has all the same shades as the UD plus 6 more!!


Ok so onto the actual shadows. They are all super pigmented and really nice. A little touch with your brush is all you need to pick up enough color. They blend in really nicely with not so much fall out. To be honest I was surprised by the quality of the single eye shadows!! 


The first row contains  GLEAM, WKD, TOM TOM, PINK OBSESSED, ON A MISSION and OVER-BORED (all shimmers)


 Second row: NEEDED TO..., ME THREE, DO IT NOW.., TOXI APPLE-TINI, AMMUNITION, DELIVER ME (all shimmers)


Third row consist of 6 matte shades: SUPER Y, MY DEMONS, TIP X,  I SAID GO!, BEYOND REAL and CALM ME DOWN this one matches my skin tone perfectly so it's a bit harder to notice it on the swatches =)


Overall this palette is really bold, and it may not be everyones cup of tea BUT there's always an occasion where you need a bright eye look so I would definitely recommend you this one because it's a great payoff for the low price and it does have some more neutral shades that are perfect for everyday use!!
For me personally this is a perfect palette because when I put makeup I like it to be vibrant and also I have few neutral shades here that I can use when I don't feel like having something that bold on my eyes!!

I've done one look (so far) using just the shadows from this palette ..




 And that's it =) Do you like this palette and the look I created with it?
