Sajam kozmetike ili pijaca u hali?

Sorry girls, this post is on Serbian language only. It's all about my thoughts about Cosmetic Fair that I visited today in Belgrade. Stay tuned because tomorrow I will show you what I bought there :).

Pretpostavljam da ste sve čule za sajam kozmetike koji se dva puta godišnje održava u Beogradu, Dodir Pariza. Ove godine sam ga prvi put posetila i moram reći da sam ostala ravnodušna, pa čak i razočarana. Nisam do sada bila ni na jednom drugom sajmu kozmetike, ali sam čitala na mnogim blogovima kako se to radi u drugim zemljama, a ovo naše je bilo sve osim sajam kozmetike. Pre pijaca.

Štandova je bilo mnogo, ali je veoma mali broj njih imao nešto vezano za nokte. Sve sija, svi nude flajere i kataloge, a na štandovima ništa zanimljivo. Jessica lakovi su bili po ceni od 1000 dinara, OPI po ceni od 1000 dinara (poneki su bili po 500 dinara), China Glaze u Alexandar Cosmetics po ceni 387 dinara, Essie u Nail Line-u po ceni od 695 dinara, Zoya u Ultra Sun su bili 560 dinara. Tu ste ponegde mogli naći još pokoji Golden Rose, Moyra, Crystal  i Seventeen lak za nokte. I to bi bilo to. 

Jedini štand u kojem sam ja uživala i koji želim da pohvalim je štand Alexandar Cosmetics-a koji je zauzimao skoro ceo jedan sprat. Iako je gužva bila velika, tu sam potrošila većinu para (više o tome sutra, trenutno nemam snage ni da raspakujem sve). 

Za kraj, moram sa vama podeliti nešto o čemu sam razmišljala. Volim strane brendove, smatram da ima izvanrednih i drago mi je kad vidim štand OPI-ja na sajmu u Beogradu. Ali taj sajam (iliti pijaca) je u Srbiji. Gde su srpske kompanije? Šta bi sa onim "Kupujmo domaće"?  Ja domaće ništa nisam videla. Gde je Aura Kozmetika? Gde je Londessa? 

Gde je bilo šta za nas smrtnike? Kome od nas se isplati da da 350 dinara za ulaznicu na sajam kozmetike na kom će kupiti sve po redovnim cena, ako išta i kupi? Čini mi se kao da je ovaj sajam namenjen samo profesionalcima koji mogu da kupe 20 Crystal lakova kako bi ostvarili tih 20% sajamskog popusta. A za nas amatere, ostaju dobre stare online porudžbine i šetnje po prodavnicama. Ako ništa drugo, barem nema dugog stajanja u redovima :).

Ladybugs in Grass

Ne znam za vas, ali meni se nikako ne sviđa ova vrsta proleća puna snega i kiše. Nedostaje mi sunce i zelena  trava. A ne mogu ni da se setim kada sam poslednji put videla bubamare. Ranije ih je bilo mnogo, a sada, ništa. Možda nekako privučem zelenu travu i bubamarice u njoj ovim manikirom :). 

Koristila sam : Golden Rose #202, Essence - A walk in the Park, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! i akrilne boje.

I don't know about you, but I don't like at all this kind of spring full of snow and rain. I miss Sun and green grass. And I can't even remember when was the last time I saw ladybugs. It used to be a lot of them, but know, nothing. Maybe somehow I can atract green grass and ladybugs in it with this mani :).

I used : Golden Rose #202, Essence - A walk in the Park, Aura Inches - Dig that gold! and acrylic paints.

Da li vam se svidjaju? Kada ste ih poslednji put videle uzivo?

Do you like them? When was the last time you saw them in person?

Thin Line Between Love&Hate - Fake Tattoos

Kada sam dobila e-mail od Ane, marketing menadžera Švedske kompanije Fake Tattoos o njihovim novim lažnim tetovažicama za nokte, mislila sam da su u pitanju obične nalepnice za nokte, ili eventualno vodene nalepnice. Ipak, pogrešila sam i u pitanju su one tetovažice koje smo kao deca lepili po rukama i nogama ali namenjene noktima. Na sajtu trenutno postoji 10 različitih dizajna tetovažica, ali imaju u planu da naprave još mnogo različitih. Cena je oko 530 dinara. 

When I got e-mail from Ana, Marketing Assistant of Swedish company Fake Tattoos about their new fake tattoos for nails, I thought it was regular nail stickers, or maybe water decals. I was wrong. It's like those fake tattoos that we used to stick on our hands and arms when we were kids, but these are made for nails. On their webpage, there are currently 10 different designs of tattoos, but they are planning to make much more. Price is about 6$.

Na poleđini svake nalepnice nalazi se uputstvo za upotrebu. Ako budete koristile ove tetovažice, pročitajte ga, pošto se razlikuje od korišćenja vodenih nalepnica.

On the back of every sticker, there are instructions for use. If you are planning to use these tattoos, be sure to read it, because it's different of using water decals.

Prve tetovažice koje sam isprobala su bile ptičice u srcima. Kao i svaki prvi put, nešto je pošlo po zlu ali i dalje nisam sigurna šta. Nalepnice su mi se raspadale na noktima i gubile su boju. 

First tattoos that I tried out was birds in hearts. As every first time, something went wrong and I still don't know what. Stickers fell apart on my nails and they were losing their color.

Drugi put je prošao malo bolje. Odlučila sam se za nalepnice sa tekstom LOVE i HATE, dodajući jednu tanku liniju između. Tanka je linija između ljubavi i mržnje, a to je upravo ono što ja osećam prema ovim nalepnicama. 

Second time went a little bit better. I decided for tattoos with text LOVE and HATE adding one thin line between them. There is a thin line between love and hate, and that is exactly how I feel about these tattoos.

Još uvek nisam sigurna šta mislim o ovim tetovažicama. U jednu ruku, simpatične su i veoma lake za upotrebu, ali opet, nisu perfektne. Teško je postaviti ih na onaj deo nokta na koji želite da stoje, a boje se brzo ispiraju. Još jedna stvar koja mi nije jasna je, što je polovina tetovažica fabrički obojena a druga polovina ne. Možda je plan bio dozvoliti ljudima da sami biraju boje koje žele, bojeći sami lakovima ove tetovažice, ne znam. Šta vi mislite o tetovažama za nokte? Da li su one nešto što bi isprobale?

I'm still not sure what I think about these tattoos. In one hand, they are cute and very easy to use, but again, they are not perfect. It's hard to place them on the part of your nail that you want to place them, and colors are easily washable. Another thing that I don't understand is, why are half of the tattoos colored and other half isn't? Maybe plan was to allow people to choose colors, and paint tattoos with nail polishes, I don't know. What do you think about nail tattoos? Are they something that you would try?

Nail Mail in March

U martu je moj poštar bio veoma zauzet :). Toliko slatkih stvarčica, koje sam jedva čekala da vam pokažem. Za početak, tu je jedan paket koji sam dobila od jedne divne devojke iz Amerike, koja je bila moj tajni pošiljalac za menjanje za Dan Zaljubljenih. Paket mi je malkice duže putovao, ali uspeo je da predje ceo okean.

My mailman was very busy in March :). So many cute things that I couldn't wait to show you. For start, there is a package that I got from one lovely girl from US, that was my secret Valentine in Valentine's Day swap. Package took a little longer to get here, but it managed to came across the ocean.  

Tu su lakovi za nokte Jade - Energy, KleanColor - Chunky Holo Bluebell, i Zoya - Sweet.

There are nail polishes Jade - Energy, KleanColor - Chunky Holo Bluebell, and Zoya - Sweet.



Kao i slatkiši. Jesam li vam pomenula koliko obožavam slatkiše iz drugih zemalja?

And also candies. Did I mentioned how much I love candies from other countries?



I verovatno najdivniji deo poklona, šal koji je ona sama napravila. 

And probably most amazing part of the present, scarf that she made herself.

Isti dan, stigao je paketić od Born Pretty Store-a. Oni su bili veoma dragi, i pristali su da mi pomognu u jednom malom projektu, tako da su mi poslali akrilne prahove u boji, likvid za akril, četkice za akril, gel i one stroke tehniku kao i njihov najnoviji lak za nokte u olovci. 

Same day, package from Born Pretty Store arrived. There were so nice, and agreed to help me with my little project, so they sent me colored acrylic powder acrylic liquid, brushes for acryl, gel and one stroke technique and also their newest nail art pen. 

A tu je i paket lažnih tetovaža za nokte od Švedske kompanije Fake Tattoos. Jedva čekam da ih isprobam pa da vam ih pokažem. 

And there is a package with fake tattoos for nails from Swedish company Fake Tattoos. I can't wait to try them out and show them to you. 

Stigao je i paketić od kkcenterhk.com. Od ukupno tri water decals nalepnica i jednih cirkona, ostalo mi je da vam pokažem još jedne nalepnice (ostalo ste mogli već videti OVDE, OVDE; i OVDE). 

Another package came from kkcenterhk.com. Out of three water decals and one pack of rhinestones, I still have to show you one water decals. Rest of it, you could already saw HERE, HERE and HERE).

Poslednji paketić koji je stigao je došao od Lise iz Holandije. U pitanju je Uskršnjenje menjanje, gde je Lisa bila moj tajni pošiljalac. Dobila sam još slatkiša, balzam, blok turpiju i naravno, lakove za nokte. 

Last package came from Lisa from Netherlands. It's a Easter swap package, and Lisa was my secret Bunny. I got more candies, balm, blok buffer and of course, nail polishes. 

Od lakova, tu su Depend #2036, Gosh - Girls on Film, Sally Hansen - Haute Chocolate i Maybelline - Tutti Fruity.

Nail polishes are Depend #2036, Gosh - Girls on Film, Sally Hansen - Haute Chocolate and Maybelline - Tutti Fruity.

Chill Out After Easter

Šta pametno raditi nakon Uskrsa? Ništa, jednostavno odmarati i možda pojesti ostatke sve one hrane od juče. Čak i zečići su se prežderali, lenčare na travi a ni svu šargarepicu nisu uspeli da pojedu :). Znam kako im je, i ja sam tako provela dan.

Za ovaj manikir, koristila sam theBalm - Sky Blue Right Past You i akrilne boje.

What smart can you do after Easter? Nothing, just chill out and maybe eat all those food leftovers from yesterday. Even bunnies ate too much, they are chilling out on the grass and they also have left some carrots :). I know how they feel, that's how I spent my day too. 

For this manicure, I used theBalm - Sky Blue Right Past You and acrylic paints. 

Kako ste vi provele dan?

How did you spend your day today?
