Blogmas #8: BEST OF 2016 - SKINCARE ***** NAJBOLJŠI IZDELKI 2016 - NEGOVALNI IZDELKI

We've done best of make-up 2016, now it's time for skincare. I must say that this year, I've been paying more attention to my skin than ever before since I had so many issues with it because of hormonal imbalance during my pregnancy (but the end result is worthy every discoloration and pimple, I promise). I also discovered many new brands and the end result is here.

O najljubših ličilih leta 2016 sem že spregovorila, zdaj pa je čas za negovalne izdelke za nego obraza in telesa. Priznam, da sem moji koži v zadnjem letu posvečala več pozornosti kot kadar koli prej, saj sem imela med nosečnostjo zaradi hormonskega neravnovesja nemalo težav (vendar prisežem, da je končni rezultat vreden vsakega pigmentnega madeža in mozoljčka). Odkrila sem tudi nekaj novih znamk in tu je končni rezultat.

First, let's talk showers. I absolutely adore cream-to-foam products and the one I've been loving the most in the past year is the Senses Asian Spa foaming shower gel in the scent ginger and goji berry. This is actually an Artdeco brand and I first discovered it during summer. I appreciate the scent and also the fact I have to use the smallest amount to get all cleaned up. 

Najprej čisto na kratko o najljubšem gelu za tuširanje. Obožujem izdelke, ki se iz kremastih spremenijo v peno in moj najljubši je bil letos Senses Asian Spa foaming shower gel v vonju ingverja in goji jagod. To znamko, ki sodi pod Artdeco, sem prvič odkrila poleti. Poleg super vonja mi je všeč tudi dejstvo, da potrebujem res majhno količino, da se namilim po celem telesu.

 

For moisturizing, I literally could not pick between these two products if you pulled a gun on me (please don't). The first is the Afrodita Body Mousse with the scent of strawberries. I love the smell and the foamy texture but best of all is the fact that it really absorbs super quickly into my skin. As I usually shower with my baby boy I have to have a moisturizer that absorbs in minutes so I can continue with our night-time routine. The second product I've been loving for more in-depth moisturizing is the Nivea body milk with hydra IQ which promises deep moisture and long lasting feel - and delivers. Like all Nivea body products, the smell is amazing and I really can tell a major difference if I take the time and use this on a regular basis. 

Med vlažilnimi kremami za telo dejansko ne bi mogla izbrati ene same, tudi če mi na glavo prisloniš pištolo (pri čemer te prosim, da tega ne storiš). Prva je Afrodita body mousse z vonjem jagod. Vonj je super, prav tako puhasta tekstura, vendar pa mi je od vsega najbolj všeč, kako hitro se mousse vpije v kožo. Ker se običajno tuširam skupaj s svojim dojenčkom, potrebujem vlažilno kremo, ki se vpije v nekaj minutah, tako da lahko nemoteno nadaljujeva z njegovo večerno rutino. Naslednji izdelek, ki mi je všeč za bolj hranilen in dolgotrajen učinek, je Nivea body milk s hidra IQ, ki obljublja globoko vlaženje in dolgotrajen učinek. Zagotavljam, da oboje drži. Kot pri vseh Niveinih izdelkih tudi tega odlikuje lep vonj in moram reči, da res vidim razliko, če mleko uporabljam redno.

This next set of products is the beginning trio of my morning and night routine. I start off by using the Nuxe Melting cleansing gel with rose petals. I focus this mainly on the eyes to melt off the eyeshadows and mascara and on the lips, especially if I'm wearing some liquid lipstick that doesn't budge all day. I have gotten this in my eyes numerous times and had no reaction whatsoever so I'd definitely recommend it. Although quite expensive, I've had this bottle for a year now and it shows no signs of emptying out just yet. Next is my La Bri Floral Cleansinsing Milk. It smells amazing and when I wash my face with this it really gets off the rest of the makeup and any dirt that accumulated during the day. I finish off by using the Bocassy Clean & Tone tonic. It is not my favorite regarding smell (I think because of the green tea and marigold) but it leaves my skin feeling fresh and supple (review *here*). In the mornings, I skip Nuxe and only go in with La Bri and Bocassy.

Naslednji izdelki so pravzaprav začetni tri moje jutranje in večerne rutine. Začnem z uporabo Nuxe Melting Cleansing Gel s cvetovi vrtnice. S tem očistim predvsem področje oči, saj stopi senčke in maskaro, ter ustnice, še posebej če sem čez dan nosila kakšno tekočo šminko, ki se ne premakne nikamor. Čeprav sem ga že dostikrat po nesreči dobila neposredno v oči, nisem imela reakcije, tako da bi ga vsekakor priporočila. Čeprav je dokaj drag, sama uporabljam prvo pakiranje že eno leto in nič ne kaže, da mi ga bo kaj kmalu zmanjkalo. Naslednji izdelek je La Bri Cvetlično čistilno mleko. To mleko diši čudovito in ko z njim očistim obraz, z njega res odstrani vsa preostala ličila, pa tudi umazanijo, ki se na obrazu nabere tekom dneva. Zaključim z uporabo Bocassy Clean&Tone tonika. Vonj sicer ni moj najljubši (verjetno zato, ker je v njem zeleni čaj in ognjič), ampak moja koža je po uporabi sveža in napeta (ocena *tu*). Zjutraj preprosto preskočim Nuxe in uporabim le La Bri in Bocassy.

I try to pamper my skin as often as possible. My favorite sheet mask of the year, despite having tried some much more expensive, is the Balea Aqua sheet mask with algae extract. I apply this and leave it on for ten minutes for deep moisturizing and my skin looks amazing afterwards. Once in a while, I'll use the Origins Drink-up Intensive overnight mask. On those days, I won't apply anything else like my normal moisturizer or oil because I want this to work its magic. The softness it gives my skin the morning after is amazing and I must say that I see visible changes if I use it regularly. When I feel like I should give my skin a little refreshment, I use the Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel that is ridiculously pricey but worth every penny. I think that this was my main helper in getting rid of the discolorations on my face after pregnancy.

Svojo kožo skušam čim pogosteje razvajati. Moja najljubša maska v lističu (čeprav sem preizkusila kar nekaj precej dražjih) je vsekakor Balea Aqua maska v lističu s ekstrakti alg. Masko nanesem in jo pustim na obrazu deset minut, da res navlaži mojo kožo, ki po uporabi izgleda čudovito. Vsake toliko uporabim še Origins Drink-up intenzivno nočno masko. Ob tem ne uporabim ničesar drugega, kot na primer mojega olja za obraz, saj želim, da izdelek sam opravi svoje delo. Moja koža je po uporabi neverjetno mehka in če jo uporabljam redno, res vidim opazno razliko. Kadar želim mojo kožo malce osvežiti, uporabim Elemis Papaya encimski piling, ki je božjastno drag, vendar vreden vsakega centa. Mislim, da je bil to eden od ključnih izdelkov pri odpravljanju hiperpigmentacije mojega obraza po nosečnosti.

Last but not least are my trusted favorites. I love the Melvita rose hip oil to apply under the moisturizer (review *here*). I have also been using the La Roche Posay Effeclar Duo unifying cream as a base for my make-up for a couple of months now and besides giving me a nice base for my make-up, it also evens up my complexion very nicely (review in the link above). Besides these two, I can't say enough good things about the Melvita Damask Rose floral water which, along with Melvita Pulpe de Rose moisturizer completely rejuvenated and restored my damaged skin after pregnancy (a complete rave of a review *here*). I am currently on my third bottle of this floral water and take it anywhere I go because I can actually spray it over make-up and feel my poor skin trapped underneath the foundation going *ahhh, thank you!*.

Nenazadnje še beseda ali dve o mojih ljubeznih letošnjega leta. Vsekakor je med njimi Melvitino šipkovo olje, ki ga uporabim pod kremo (ocena *tu*). Prav tako mi je resnično všeč La roche Posay Effeclar Duo krema za poenotenje obraza, ki jo že nekaj mesecev uporabljam kot osnovo pred nanosom ličil. Ten res lepo poenoti in pripravi kožo za ličenje (ocena na povezavi zgoraj). Poleg navedenih izdelkov bom težko našla dovolj dobrih besed za Melvita cvetno vodico damaščanske vrtnice, ki je skupaj z Melvita Pulpe de rose vlažilno kremo popolnoma spremenila mojo ubogo kožo po nosečnosti (ocena, ki je sama hvala, je *tu*). Trenutno uporabljam že tretjo steklenično cvetne vodice in jo vzamem s sabo povsod, kamor grem, saj jo dejansko lahko pošpricam kar čez ličila in kar čutim, kako moja uboga koža reče *ahhh, hvala!*.

Those are my skincare favorites. I think that they are all absolutely amazing products and would recommend each and everyone of them. Don't forget to find the secret word of the day to be able to participate in the holiday giveaway! Until next time, stay beautiful!

To so torej moji najljubši negovalni izdelki leta 2016. Za čisto vsakega izmed njih mislim, da je resnično super in bi ga vsekakor priporočala. Ne pozabi poiskati današnje skrivne besede dneva za sodelovanje v nagradni igri! Do naslednjič, ostani čudovita!
