Yankee Candle - Enjoy the simple things pomlad 2018


Čeprav je po koledarju še zima, je v svetu Yankee Candle dišav že nastopila pomlad. Nova kolekcija, ki je sestavljena iz štirih novih vonjav nosi ime Enjoy the simple things in nas nagovarja, k upočasnitvi tempa, uživanju vsakega dne posebej ter k občudovanju lepote in ljubezni, ki nas obdaja.
 

Prvi vonj v kolekciji sodi med cvetlične vonjave in se imenuje Sun-drenched apricot rose. Je najbolj močan in prevladujoč izmed vseh štirih. Sestavjajo ga note s soncem obsijane marelice, cvetovi nektarine, vrtnice, gardenije, mošusa ter pudraste note. Ko sem jo prvič povohala sem najprej zaznala vonj vrtnice, ki mi načeloma ni med najljubšimi, vendar sem kmalu za tem zaznala še vonj breskve, ki naredi celoten vonj za pojesti dober. Moj mož pravi, da je ta vonj zmagovalec v novi kolekciji.

Naslednji je vonj Rainbow cookie. Vonj je sestavljen iz not sladke pomaranče, kremaste breskve, pasijonke, maslene kreme, vanilijeve glazure ter kokosa. Sama obožujem sladke vonjave, zato sem že po prebranem vedela, da mi bo ta vonj zelo všeč. Ko ga povonjaš, kar čutiš lahkotne piškotke, kako se ti topijo v ustih.


Vonj, ki je najbolj svež v tej kolekciji se imenuje A calm & quiet place. Sestavljajo ga note lista mandarine, jasmina, cedrovine, pačulija, sandalovine in oranžnega mošusa. Vonj se mi zdi idealen za dneve, ko si želim le mir in tišino, kakor namiguje že samo ime. Všeč mi je, ker je bolj nežen in ni premočan.

Zadnji vonj se imenuje Sweet nothings in je moj najljubši izmed vseh štirih. Če sklepamo po imenu, diši po sladkem ničemer, vendar vam zagotavljam, da je vonj fantastičen, saj je sestavljen iz not ciklame, lotusovega cveta, vanilije, pudrastega mošusa ter jantarja. Vonj je nežen in sladek, kot milni mehurček.


Poleg novih vonjav pa so z novo kolekcijo prišli še čudoviti pastelni dodatki. Sama sem nad njimi navdušena, saj so čisto v mojem stilu. Najbolj mi je všeč senčnik za svečo, ki izgleda kot milni mehurček, ali ni kjut? Prav tako pa so me navdušili tudi svečniki za svečko, ki so na voljo v roza, modri in moji najljubši - vijola barvi. Nova kolekcija bo kmalu na voljo v trgovinah Vonj narave ter v spletni trgovini Yankee Candle Slovenija.

Fall in love - jesenska kolekcija Yankee Candle vonjev


Moj najljubši letni čas so pri Yankee Candle začinili z vonji razkošnih in toplih začimb pomešanih z bogatim sadjem. Sama že vrsto let spremljam vse novosti in prvi dan, ko pridejo na police zavijem v najbližjo trgovino Vonj narave, kjer si vzamem čas in vse prevoham. Ne pomnim kdaj se je nazadnje zgodilo, da bi mi v kolekciji bili všeč prav vsi vonji, ampak tokrat se je. Dobesedno sem se zaljubila!

Kolekcijo sestavljajo štirje vonji, dva sveža Warm cashmere in Autumn glow, vonj začimb Vibrant saffron ter sadni vonj Mulberry & fig delight. V nadaljevanju vam bom predstavila note, ki jih posamezen vonj vsebuje, čisto na koncu pa izdam katera dva sem vzela s seboj domov.



WARM CASHMERE: 
 Zavijte se v razkošne note pomirjujoče sandalovine in eksotičnega pačulija.
Zgornje note: pomaranča
Srednje note: kašmeran, ambra, kardamom
Osnovne note: kremna sandalovina, mošus, beli pačuli, francoska vanilja


VIBRANT SAFFRON: 
Odkrijte topel in živahen sladek žafran pomešan z mehkobo vanilje.
Zgornje note: bergamot, cimetovi listi, janeževa zvezda
Srednje note: žafran
Spodnje note: lesni akordi, semena vanilje, ambra 


MULBERRY & FIG DELIGHT: 
Vabljiva sadna skleda polna sočnih murv in sveže nabranih fig.
Zgornje note: robide, fige, malinovi listi
Srednje note: rdeča sliva, marelica, breskva, medvedja robida
Osnovne note: tonka, semena vanilje

AUTUMN GLOW: 
Dotik sončno zlatih listov in lesnih not pačulija, ki poustvarjajo jesenski sprehod po gozdu.
Zgornje note: citrusi
Srednje note: jesensko cvetje, sveže nabrana zelišča
Osnovne note: pačuli, semena tonke, ambra

Ker zaradi že tako ogromne zbirke sveč nisem morala opravičiti nakupa vseh štirih, sem se odločila za nakup dveh. Izbrala sem vonj Warm cashmere in vonj Autumn glow. Oba sodita med sveže vonje in sta zelo primerna za katerikoli prostor v stanovanju. Sama ju imam v spalnici, saj sta lepa in umirjena vonja, primerna za sanjarjenje in lenarjenje.

August favourites



Hello everybody, today I'm back with my favourites post. September is nearly here, so it's time for my august favourites. I must confess I'm very happy for summer to be over, because I think in Slovenia every summer is hotter, which I hate. And also, september is my birthday month and this year it's a round one. My husband and I also celebrate our wedding anniversary in september, so you can see why this month is probably my favourite. But let's not skip ahead and go back to august.


I'm one of those lucky people that sweat a lot, and ultra high temperatures were just added bonus). This year I tried Borotalco deo roll on for the first time and they really were a life savers. I tried invisible and intensive ones and I like intensive one best. It has a nice scent which I was able to smell through the whole day. I have no idea why, but my hair got really dry, so to give my ends a little moist I'm using Melvita argan oil. At first I thought it will be too oily and my hair will get greasy, but if you add a small amount (I add 1 pump) it's perfect. My favourite nail polish brand is still Essie and for the summer I like to go for a bit more colorful shades, this one is California coral. When I first saw this L'oreal miss Baby Roll mascara I had to take it and I ended up loving it. I was using it every single day and I just ran out of it. I will repurchse it.


Matte liquid lipsticks are very in at the moment and when Kylie released her famous lip kits, many brands did the same and Primark was no different. While walking in Primark in Galway I saw this one (it comes in a set with lip pencil for 4€). It dries very quickly but it leaves a nice feeling on the lips. I love it's staying power since it stayed on my lips for 8 hours. I threw away the box so I can't tell you the shade of mine.




 For remoning my make up I started using Bioderma micellar solution for the first time. I tried a lot of different ones and since I tried this one I can see what thee hype was all about. It removes make up almost effortless. For treating myself under the shower I'm currently using Lush The Comfoter shower cream which has a yummy blackcurrant aroma.


 I love the concept of "make your own palette" and I was very happy when essence brought those out. I created myself this palette with two matte  and six shimmery shades. As you can see one of them have a little accident on a plane. I love their colors, their pigmentations and they also last a long time. It's certainly my most used palette.


And onto the last item, Yankee Candle shea butter meltcup for my scenterpiece. This scent is amazing, it's creamy, powdery and in my opinion appropriate for everyone. I prefer those meltcups as opposed to regular waxes, because it's earier to switch between scents.

Yankee Candle Scenterpiece

Yankee Candle je pred kratkim izdal novo kolekcijo dišav za dom imenovano Scenterpiece in ker jaz ne bi bila jaz, če je ne bi preizkusila, sem jo seveda morala imeti. Največja razlika med klasično svečo in Scenteripece grelci je v tem, da so le ti električni in za topljenje voska ne potrebujemo ognja.

Vas zanima kako ti grelci izgledajo?


Trenutno so na voljo tri različne oblike grelcev v različnih barvah, ki si jih lahko pogledate  tu.
Sama sem se odločila za model Noah black. Cena posameznega grelca je 34,99€, kar se mi ne zdi pretirano drago. V grelec vstavimo poseben lonček z dišečim voskom. Kateri vonji so na voljo, si lahko pogledate tu. Jaz sem si za začetek vzela vonj red raspberry.



 Najbolj všeč mi je preprosta uporaba, iz lončka odstraniš pokrovček, ga položiš v grelnik in ga vklopiš v elektriko. Glavni razlog, da sem se odločila za nakup je ta, da grelec omogoča hitro menjavo vonjev, če se enega naveličaš, samo odstraniš lonček in vstaviš drugega. Pri klasičnih grelcih mi je šlo najbolj na živce prav odstranjevanje voska, zato sem imela kar nekaj grelnikov z različnimi voski.

Kaj pa vonj?
Tega vonja še nisem imela v nobeni obliki, zato me je res zanimalo kako se bo obnesel in moram reči, da me je pozitivno presenetil. Če ne marate zelo močnih vonjev, potem tega preskočite, če pa imate doma velik prostor, pa vam priporočam tega, saj odišavi celo hišo.


Prijazna prodajalka v trgovini mi je povededala, da naj bi imel vosek čas gorenja nekje 24 ur, kar je izredno dolgo,in ravno prav časa, da se vonja "naveličamo" in zamenjamo z drugim.

My summer necessities

Summer is officially here so it's time for some new products. Bronzed look, bright colors, SPF..... read more about my summer necessities below. 

 

There is no summery make up look without bronzer. I love using Essence (TE Beach cruisers) bronzing powder, because it's matte, but it's also shimmery in the middle, so you can use it as a matte or shimmery bronzer, to get that sun kissed look. Artdeco bronzing powder is matte, and very gorgeous on the skin. Now to the bright colours, I love wearing coral nail polish in the summer. My favourites are Essie - California coral and Alessandro - VIVA LA DIVA - City Grass. As for the lipstick, my favourite shades are pink, one of my favourite is Wet 'n' wild - Mauve Outta Here. I'm sure those pretty colors are popping into your eyes, this is my first Sleek eyeshadow palette and it's called sunset. Pigmentation is amazing as you can see on the swatches. Those are actually quite wild colors for me, but I have tried some combinations on my eyes and I liked the results. I also love the packaging, it's very slim and sturdy, great for traveling.



I love trying new Slovenian products. This time I've got bath salt from the brand called Lepa Vida. I put a hand full of salt into my bath, because I tend to have problems with salt water when I go to the sea, that way I'm slowly preparing my skin for the salt. It also smells great, you can pick between different scents, mine is mediterannean. Next one is a must! I'm talking about SPF. There's a lot of them on the market, but I always tend to pick a high one. Mine is Yves Rocher Protectyl vegetal 50+. It works great for my sensitive skin and I don't get sunburned while using it. Anothes must in summer is body moisturizer. You don't want to have dry skin while wearing shorts, don't you? Currently I'm obsessing over Soap & glory the righteous butter. It's made for very dry skin, which skin on my legs sure it. I'm in love with the smell. I want a perfume that smells like that, anyone knows if it exists?


Batiste dry shampoo comes in handy on the days when you just can't bother to wash your hair. It refreshes them and makes them look clean.
Schwarzkopf GLISS hair repair oil is a great product to use on your hair after a long day at the beach. My ends are very dry, so I like to spray a little bit of this oil on them. It also helps me brush them easily.


Another SPF related item, this one is for my face. It's Clinique face cream (SPF 40). For covering up my acne I have been using Rimmel stay matte liquid mousse foundation and pressed powder non stop and I'm obsessed. I just need to get mousse foundation in a lighter shade, but that one's ok for summer. To set my foundation I love using L'occitane pivoine sublime perfectiong mist. It does it's job great in the heat, when my foundation would normally melt of my face. Lastly, there has to be a candle. This one is Yankee Candle Sun & Sand. It's a tropical beach breeze of sweet orange flower, lemony citrus, fresh lavender and powdery musk.

Recent favourites

There's been a while since my last monthly favourites post, so I named today's post recent favourites in which I will show you few products that I have been loving recently.


First is my beloved Lush Cosmetic Warrior face mask, Sadly I have ran out of it, but I'm planning to repurchase it as soon I will go to Ljubljana. Next are two liquid foundations, first is L'oreal Infallible and next is Revlon Colorstay. When applying a foundation I usually mix both of them at the back of my hand. Together they give me a great coverage and a nice dewy look. Underneath the foundation I always apply moisturizing cream,, at the moment I'm using Green Line HydroMineral.


My nails looks pretty bad so I haven't been using any nail polishes. I just painted them for easter with Essie - mint candy apple. My most used eyshadow palette is currently Catrice Absolute Rose, it have six shades (two matte and 4 shimmery) and they are all in different shades of pink and purple. To finish my eye look I have been using L'oreal super liner blackbuster. I find those pen liners really easy to use. Puma Flowing and Moschino Pink Bouqet were the scents I sprayed on the most for the last few months. I have also started wearing earrings more often, I got those peral ones in New Yorker.


I have had some problems with my laptop and I was without it for a couple of days, so I had plenty of time to read, I finnaly got my hands on Girl Online, written by famous Youtuber Zoella (Zoe Sugg). While reading it I was burning Yankee Candle White Gardenia. And of course, there's no easter without Milka eggs, which I get from easter bunny every year.

Ready for spring?


In my country the winter is comming to an end. I love winter, but I also like spring. I love it when the season changes because that means new wardrobe and new beauty poducts. In today's post I will show you some od my spring stash. Those are just some of them, because I didn't want this post to be too long. I'm thinking about bringing back monthly favouites posts, how would you like that?


Let's stat with good smelling items. First is Yves Rocher GREEN TEA eau de toilette (purchase here). Lately I tend to like fresh scents more than those sickly sweet ones. I think fresh ones are great for spring and summer, I will be using this one non-stop.
Next is Ma Provence orange blossom shower gel. I actualy already started using it and I love the scent very much.
Yankee Candle Aloe Vera (purchase here) is very nice and fresh scent. I like it because it's not too overpowering. It's a part of their new spring collection, wich in my opinion is great, I like every scent in it. More about the whole collection on my friends Živa blog here.


 Essie - fiji is probably the most popular shade amongst beauty bloggers, I thik that almost every beauty blogger in Slovenia own one, so I have to follow the trend and got it for myself. I think this one is great for everyday use because it's very natural. The shade mint candy apple is one of my favourite. It's this perfect mint nailpolish that everyone should own. I really like my pastels in spring as you can tell.
Essence lash princess false lash effect mascara is a new mascara from essence. I'm really impressed by their mascaras because they are great and cheap too.



 Catrice CO1 Apricoco matt lip colour is very pretty orange/coral/appricot colour. I steppet out of my safe zone with this one a bit, and I'm glat that I did, because I really like it and I know I will wear it a lot.


The last is the product that I'm most excited to feature in this post, it's my beloved Urban Decay NAKED 2 palette  (purchase here). This one has been on my wishlist since it first came out. The shades are great for either daytime or nighttime makeup looks. I love the facts that it has matt and shimmery shades. I would love to own other two palettes, but this one is the one I know I will use a lot because the shades are totally up my alley and the fact that it also have a black shade won me over even more. The palette comes with the brush, wich is actually pretty great and a set of eye primers.

Fall favourites


I haven't written a favourites post for some months now, so that's why I want to share with you some of my fall necessties. I have already started with listening to christmas songs and putting up fairy lights, so fall is over in my book, but we had a lovely fall. This year the temperatures were just perfect, not too cold, not too hot. There's no doubt that this kind of fall is my favourite! Now to the products that I have been loving recently.


When colder months come it's time for me to pay extra attention to my lips, because they get dry and chapped easily. I rediscover Labello lip butter vanilla & macadamia in my drawer. I now have it on my night stand and use is every morning and evening (sometimes even during the day, since I spend most of my days at home). I love it because it's better than normal lip balm, it is a butter after all. I love the scent but I'm not a fan of the packaging since I find it very hard to open it sometimes. With colder months, my hands become very dry, so hand creme is a must. I have them scattered all over my room in my handbags, my laptop bag, backpack.... My favourite at the time is Weleda with pomegranate. It dries out quickly and leave my hands moistured and smelling very lovely. Next is a blush. When I first saw this one I thought to myself that this is a perfect shade for fall. It's Essence silky touch blush - 80 autumn peach. I'm using it every day! I have been eyeing with Revlon colorstay foundation for quite some time. When they had it on sale I deicided to buy it. I love that it has great coverage. I really wish it would come with a pump because it's so thick that I have troubles getting it out sometimes. But other than that it's great foundation and I will definitely repurchase it.


I have been wanting Essence  Lash princess mascara since I first saw a preview for it. The packaging is super cute. When I first tried it out I was dissapointed, but then I learned to work with this cobra shaped brush and have been loving it ever since. Essence mascaras are really great and cheap too. I have been painting my nails with Essie - sole mate (not on the pictures) most of the times, since it matches my burgundy boots perfectly. Our house was filled with cinnamon scent thanks to Yankee candle - home sweet home. It's a bit cristmassy scent, but it's also great for fall. I drink tea throughout the whole year. My all time favourite for years has been Twinings Vanilla tea.

Najljubši vonj meseca septembra - Yankee Candle Black Cherry

Kot je vidno iz naslova, bom danes pisala o meni eni izmed ljubših stvari, sveči. Ni skrivnost, da so Yankee Candle moja najljubša znamka sveč in jih imam že kar lepo zbirko. Danes pa bi rada pisala o vonju, ki ima  zame prav posebno mesto.

Lani septembra sva si z dragim kupila najin prvi avto (ubistvu je bolj njegov:p). Za darilo sem se odločila, da mu kupim dišavo za v avto. Odločila sem se za vonj Black Cherry, saj je rdeče barve, kot avto. Od takrat naprej me ta vonj ponese nazaj v tist lep in sončen septemberski dan, ko sva se odpravila do prodajnega salona Kia in se odpeljala z novim rdečim lepotcem.


Sama sveča ima vonj po sladki in zreli črni češnji, takšni, da bi jo najraje pojedel. Svečo sem si kupila v začetku septembra, pa je že manjka več kot pol. Definitivno lahko rečem, da je tole eden izmed najljubših vonjev in si ga bom še kdaj privoščila.

Tisti, ki teh sveč še ne poznate, se sprehodite v Ljubljani do Nazorjeve 12 ali Prečne ulice 2 in si svečke v živo ogledate in povohate. Stojnico s svečkami najdete tudi v City Centru (CE) in City Parku (Lj). Prav tako pa se trgovina Vonj Narave nahaja v Celju na Gubčevi 4.

July and August favourites

 
Firstly I want to mention two brands, Makeup Revolution and I <3 Makeup. They are new in Slovenia, you can find them at Ličila.si. I'm not sponsored to say this (I picked and bought all of the items myself), I geniualy love their products. First is  Makeup Revolution The matte effect foundation - Cool Ivory, which works for me, since my skin improved a bit. It's coverage is light to medium, perfect for summer. Next is the I <3 Makeup triple baked blusher - Blushing hearts with the prettiest packing in the shape of heart. It has a shimmer in it, which until recently I didn't like in blushers, but now I'm converted and I love this one to pieces. Another constant in my make up kit for the past two monts has been I <3 Makeup - Go! Palette, which consists of a bronzer, blusher, highlighter and six eyeshadows (one is matt and five of them are shimmery). The pallet is very handy when you are on the go, because you don't need to carry around a lot of different products. I really like eyeshadows, they have great pigmentation and they don't crease, which is great because I normaly have problems with creasing. A bit unusual colour to paint your nails with in summer is black, but I have been wearing it quite a lot recently. I used Essie - licorice. Who doesn't like to feel refreshed in the shower? I love... Minty Choco Chip shower gel is perfect for that, even my fiancee likes to use it. And again among my favourites,  Yankee Candle - Summer Scoop. I just love this scent so much that I can't get enough of it. My lips were in a bit more natural shade with a help of Essence lipstick - 07 Natural beauty. In summer I like to smell good so I try out some deo sprays. This year I love Nivea anti perspirant pure & sensitive. And to top that off I spray myself with Puma - Flowing toilet water. Last item is Essence (Aquatix LE) mini powder brush which I carry with me in my bag all the time.

June favourites

In June I was at the vacation where I barely used any make up, so the list is a bit shorter this month, but check it out anyway because I have selected great products for summer.


I kept skin on my face moisturized with Just Infiore moisturizing gel. This gel is made for problematic skin and I can say, that my skin looks better since I started using it. Next is Sun Dance fluid with tan effect which I used before I got some tan in Greece. My skin is naturally very fair so my veins are very visible, but when I put this fluid on they are not visible any more. I used it un my arms and legs and it didn't gave me any orange patches. In my previous post I already mention how much I love Wet n Wild Mega Last Matte Lipstick  - Mauve Outta Here. Underneath this lipstick I have been using Blistex rasberry lemonade blast lip balm. I also found the best foundation/cream for summer, Maybelline dream fresh BB cream.




Of course there has to be a favourite candle, this month it is Yankee Candle - Summer Scoop which smells like creamy homemade strawberry ice cream, yuuuum! The last thing is MelBeauty honey + olive body butter which my mom bought for herslf in Greece, but I liked it so much that I have been using it too. It was great to use after spending a whole day in the sun, plus it smells amazing.

May favourites

Yes it's this time of the month again. Today I deicided I will sort my favourites in different categories, starting with....

something good for your nose


I have been burning Yankee Candle - Pink Lady Slipper all the time, it has a perfect scent for the spring. If you are nearby the store Vonj narave, give it a sniff.
I have been also loving the scent of J. Lo -  Glow. It's such a light fragnance suitable for everyday.


pretty nail polishes


This month I have finally bought Essie - mint candy apple which have been on my wishlist for sooooo long, I don't know why I haven't bought it sooner, it's perfect mint shade and I love wearing it.  Second favourite nail polish at the moment is Essie - smokin' hot, which is the most perfect purple shade, I just can't get enough of it.

  for the face


 I have been using Essence pure skin moisturizer for a while now and I can truly say it is worth trying. I use it under my make up and it works great, it also doesn't make me break out, which is a big plus.
For cleaning my face I started using La Roche - Posay Effaclar purifying foaming gel which cleans my skin very well, the only thing I don't like about is is the scent.

eyes & lips


I was eying with L'oreal  miss manga mascara for quite some time, but when I finally got it, I fell in love with it. It's amazing what this mascara can do to my eyelashes, I can't even describe how amazing it is.
Next is Blistex complete moisture which I actually forgot about and when I found it in a bag that I haven't wear for a while, I started using it again. I always have pretty chapped lips, but this little fella saved them. And with my newly smooth lips I re-discover and start wearing again my Essence stay with me longlasting lipgloss - 02 my favorite milkshake.

food

And now to my favourite category, food (as you can tell). Me and my fiancee discovered this Menthe ice cream in Lidl and have to buy it. It is soooooo yummy, it tastes like after eight. I think I will have this in my freezer all through  the summer. On sume yucky rainy day I was walking through Leclerc and wanted to treat myself, I saw this Afizona half ice tea & half lemonade, I fell in love with it after the first sip. And another beverage is Cool Moments strwaberry and rhubarb ice tea (Hofer). It's great because it is not sweat at all. And of course, our cherries, which you can see on all the pictures. We have two trees on our backyard and they are full of cherries.

 shoes


On my feet I have been wearing my New Look flats. I love them because of their vintage look. You must be wondering how come I haven't post an outfit with those? To tell you the truth, whenever I get a piece of clothing I really like, I want to "save" it for one special outfit and then make a post about it, so you will be seeing more of those shoes.
