Čitajte o mojim najnovijim obsesijama na mom novom blogu Mademoiselle Tamara

first I would like to say how gratefull I am to you all for your support here on Fleurissante. This blog has been opened over two years ago when I decided that, since I have so much make-up, I could write about it too. Fleurissante has brought me many good things (and none of the bad) and I have met many nice people through the blog.

However, because of the upcoming changes, I’ve decided to move the blog to a new adress: Tamara’s blog (mademoiselletamara.wordpress.com). I know that this will be starting from a scratch, but I hope that you’ll support the new blog like you supported Fleurissante and that we will continue to have fun together on mademoiselletamara. You can find all the new contact information below.

The new blog is already up and I have moved all the posts from Fleurissante there (that’s why the pictures still have Fleurissante watermark). Once I organize it a bit better, I’ll organize a giveaway, so stay in touch.

Thank you so much for your support.

Love,

Tamara

Dragi čitatelji,

prvo bih vam željela reći koliko sam zahvalna za vašu potporu na blogu Fleurissante. Ovaj sam blog otvorila prije nešto više od dvije godine kada sam vidjevši da imam puno kozmetike, odlučila da bih mogla pisati o njoj. Fleurissante blog mi je donio puno dobrih stvari (i ništa loših) te sam upoznala puno predivnih ljudi kroz ovaj blog.

Ali, zbog nadolazećih promjena, odlučila sam preseliti blog na novu adresu: Tamara’s blog (mademoiselletamara.wordpress.com). Znam da ću opet započinjati ispočetka, ali se i nadam da ćete biti potpora i novom blogu kao što ste bili potpora Fleurissante, te da ćemo se nastaviti družiti na mademoiselletamara. Sve nove kontakt informacije možete naći na dnu posta.

Novi je blog već postavljen i već sam preselila sve postove s Fleurissante (zato su slike i dalje označene s Fleurissante). Uskoro, kad još malo organiziram i sredim novi blog, održati ću darivanje povodom “otvaranja” bloga, tako da ostanite u kontaktu.

Puno vam hvala na vaštoj potpori.

Voli vas,

Tamara

Hello dear readers,

I have planned to review Orifalme Giordani Gold Jewel lipsticks in series of three, but cloudy days prevented me from taking all the photos so I only have two shades for today.

You can find the swatches of Peach Kiss, Pink Secret and Mauve Dream as well as some general info about the packaging and price here.

Today I’ll review Rose Blossom and Plum Desire.

—–

Pozdrav dragi čitatelji,

Željela sam recenzirati Oriflame Giordani Gold Jewell ruževe za usne u serijama po tri nijanse što nije bilo moguće zbog oblačnog vremena, tako da samo imam ok slike za dvije nijanse.

Swatcheve nijansi Peach Kiss, Pink Secret i Mauve Dream, kao i neke opće informacije i cijenu možete pronaći ovdje.

Danas ću, dakle, recenzirati nijanse Rose Blossom i Plum Desire.

Rose Blossom is a dirty medium dark pink. It looks darker on the skin swatch, but on the lips it becomes the prefect elegant neutral shade appropriate for all occasions.

—-

Rose Blossom prljavo je roza nijansa. Na koži izgleda tamnije, ali se na usnama pretvara u bezvremensku, elegantnu neutralnu nijansu koja je prikladna za svaku priliku.

—-

Plum Desire is that kind of shade which I always want to wear but I know it won’t look good on me. The lipstick looks almost black, but it is considerabley sheerer once applied. It is a burgundy plum, still dark enough to make you look vampy.

—-

Plum Desire nijansa je ruža koju bih voljela nositi, ali mi nikako ne stoji. Ruž u sticku izgleda gotovo crno, ali je puno transparentniji nanesen na usne. Bodo ljubičaste je boje i dovoljno je taman da bih ga svrstala u vamp nijanse.

–

Both shades apply evenly (Plum Desire a little less). As the previous shades, these shades are silky smooth, too, but they won’t stay on for longer than two hours. The lipsticks are very pleasant to wear plus they moisturize the lips.

Well, that was it for today. I hope that the weather will be kind and that I’ll manage to swatch other five shades soon.

Have a great weekend.

Love,

Tamara

Obje se nijanse ravnomjerno nanose (doduše Plum Desire ipak ne tako dobro). Kao prethodno spomenute nijanse, i ove dvije su svilenkaste, ali ne traju duže od dva sata na usnama. Ovi su ruževi jako ugodni i hidratantni na usnama.

Evo, to bi bilo sve za danas. Nadam se da će mi se vrijeme smilovati i da ću uskoro uspjeti poslikati i ostale nijanse.

Želim vam ugodan vikend.

Voli vas,

Tamara

Hello dears,

L’Occitane candle is my first scented candle and I’m not quite sure how to evaluate it. I’ll start with general information. L’Occitane candles generally come in a hexagonal tin jars with a cover included. They contain 100 grams and retail for approximately $19.

Fig trea leaf scent is a woodsy, sharp scent with a hint of sweet fig. When I sniffed the candle in the store, I wasn’t 100% sold on in, but when I started burning it, the scent developed nicely. It was very pleasant and discreete, nothing too strong or nauseating.

——-

Pozdrav dragi,

L’Occitane svijeća je moja prva mirisna svijeća, pa nisam baš sigurna kako bih ju recenzirala. Započeti ću s općim informacijama. L’Occitane svijeće dolaze u limenoj šesterokutnoj kutiji s poklopcem. Kutija sadrži 100 grama svijeće, a košta 119,30 kuna.

Svijeća smokvino lišće je oštar drvenasti miris s dodatkom slatke smokve. Isprva nisam bila 100% sigurna da mi se miris sviđa, ali kada sam upalila svijeću, miris se je prekrasno razvio. Miris je jako ugodan i diskretan, a nije prejak i ne izaziva mučninu.

The candle didn’t burn evenly. I followed the instructions, so I’m not quite sure where’s the problem because there’s still a lot of wax left on the sides of the tin. I have several hypothesis, one beiing that I got a candle from an older batch, and the other the fact that I have burned the candle in a very cold room, which might have made the wax harder and not easy to melt. For now, I’ll give L’Occitane another chance and try other candle once the weather gets better.

So far, I have bruned the candle for approximately 8 hours and there’s still a little bit more than a half left. I also have to mention that the scent of the candle hasn’t weakened with more burning.

I’m still not quite sure whether to recomend it, but if you are into candles, it might be worth to take L’Occitane candles into consideration.

Have a great week. Love,

Tamara

Jedini problem koji imam s ovom svijećom je da se nije ravnomjerno topila jer još je ostalo dosta voska na stranicama. Sve sam radila po uputama, pa mi nije jasno u čemu je problem iako imam par teorija. Jedna je teorija ta da sam kupila svijeću starije proizvodnje, a druga je da se svijeća nije dobro topila jer sam ju držala u veoma hladnoj prostoriji. Za sada ću se suzdržati od konačne odluke i dati još koju priliku L’Occitaneu.

Svijeća je do sada gorjela oko 8 sati i još je preostalo malo više od polovice. Također moam spomenuti da miris svijeće nije oslabio.

Još nisam posve sigurna bih li preporučila ovu svijeću. Ukoliko ste obožavatelj svijeća, ipak mislim da slobodno uzmete i L’Occitane svijeće u obzir.

Uživajte u tjednu. Voli vas,

Tamara

The candle after 4 hours of burning (svijeća nakon 4 sata gorenja).

Hello dear readers,

as a huge fan of moisturizing masks, I couldn’t help trying another one. So far, I’ve only used one Apivita product (a lip balm) and I found it pretty good so I was looking forward to try out more.

Apivita has a huge range of Express Beauty masks , but I have picked up Express Beauty Mask with Grape because it claimed to moisturize the skin, plus it contains antioxidants (vitamins A and E).

The mask is supposed to firm the skin and remove lines (not that I can comment much on it). You shouldn’t apply it to the eye-contour area. The instructions say to rinse it off well with water after 10 minutes, but I prefer to to apply a thicker coat of it and leave it on over night. I have to warn you that I currently use Ystheal plus 20% glycolic acid peel, so my skin can handle a lot. If you have a sensitive skin, you might be better following the instructions.

The colour of the mask is light, light pink with a red dots here and there (I have no idea what are those). The consistecy is very light, almost lotion-like.

I do feel a light stinging after applying the mask, but it disappears quickly upon the application. Other than the stinging, there are no other irritations. The mask sinks in very quickly (even though I apply it liberaly).

The mask isn’t as moisturizing as, let’s say Sisley masks are, but overall, my skin really likes it. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t moisturize my skin – it does, but if I find myself with truly dehydrated skin, I’d use something else.

As for the efficiency, I really love the mask. Together with my current routine, it made my skin great (compared to how my skin usually behaves). Ever since I use it, I haven’t had any problems with flakey skin (which usually is the case in this time of the year). I cannot comment its firming properties, but this mask is a good choice for a radiant-looking skin.

The mask is really affordable compared to the rest of the Apivita range – you get two sachets (each containing 8 ml) for approximately $7. Each sachet lasts a long time – I think I’ll get at least 10 uses out of each.

Although I’ll probably experiment with more Apivita masks, I’ll always have a sachet of two of the Grape mask as a back-up. I recommend it

Love,

Tamara

APIVITA Express Beauty with Grape Mask Review

Pozdrav dragi čitatelji,

kao velika obožavateljica hidratantinh maski nisam si mogla pomoći, a da ne probam još jednu. Do sada sam koristila samo jedan Apivitin proizvod (balzam za usne) koji mi je bio toliko dobar da sam poželjela isprobati još.

Apivita ima veliki izbor Express Beauty maski, a ja sam za početak izabrala masku s grožđem jer sadrži antioksidanse (vitamini A i E) i trebala bi hidratizirati kožu.

Maska bi također trebala učvrstiti kožu i ukloniti bore, što ne mogu komentirati. Masku ne bi trebali nanositi na područje oko očiju. U uputama piše da bi masku trebalo dobro isprati vodom nakon 10 minuta, ali meni je draže staviti deblji sloj maske i ostaviti ju na licu preko noći. Ipak vas moram upozoriti da ja trenutno koristim Ystheal i 20% glikolnu kiselinu, tako da je moja koža prilično otporna. Ukoliko imate osjetljivu kožu, savjetujem vam da pratite upute.

Maska je jako svijetlo roze boje, s komadićima crvene (nemam pojma što bi to bilo). Vrlo je lagane teksture tako da podsjeća na losion.

Nakon nanošenja osjećam lagano peckanje koje ubrzo prestaje i osim toga nema drugih iritacija. Maska se upija brzo.

Maska nije toliko hidratantna kao na primjer Sisley maske, ali sveukupno moja ju koža voli. To ne znači da maska ne hidratizira kožu, ali ukoliko mi je koža zaista dehidrirana prije ću posegnuti za nekom drugom maskom.

Što se učinkovitosti tiče, jako obožavam ovu masku. Zahvaljujuću maski (a i ostatku preparativne kozmetike koju trenutno koristim), moja je koža u jednoj od do sada najboljih faza. Od kad sam počela koristiti masku, nemam problema s perutanjem kože, što mi se inače redovito događa u ovo doba godine zbog suhog zraka. Ne mogu komentirati tvrdnje o učvršćivanju, ali ova je maska dobar izbor ako želite blistavu kožu.

Maska je relativno jeftina u usporedbi s ostalim Apivitinim proizvodima. Za cijenu od 38 kuna (nisam 100% sigurna) dobijete dvije vrećice od kojih svaka sadrži 8 ml. Svaka vrećica traje dosta dugo – pretpostavljam da će jedna vrećica biti dovoljna za 10 nanošenja.

Iako ću vjerojatno eksperimentirati i s drugim Apivitinim maskama, uvijek ću u zalihama imati vrećicu ili dvije ove maske. Preporučam

Voli vas,

Tamara

Hello dear readers,

finally here’s the post which had to be published a month ago: my make-up collection. When I find more time, I’ll post skincare and nail polish collection pictures too.

—

Bok dragi čitatelji,

ovo je konačno post koji je trebao biti objavljen prije mjesec dana: moja kolekcija šminke. Ukoliko uspijem pronaći malo vremena, možete očekivati i slike kolekcije preparativne kozmetike i lakova za nokte.

As you know, I’ve been on various sorts of no-buy, low buy and project 10 pans which weren’t as successful as I’d like them to be. Still, compared to the older pictures of my stash, I feel like I haven’t purchased too much stuff the last year. I’m still continuing with a sort of low buy and I have to admit that seeing how much stuff I have, I feel like it’s less likely that I’ll buy more make-up.

—–

Kao što znate, imala sam hrpu perioda zabrane kupnje ili smanjene kupnje kozmetike koji i nisu ispunili moja očekivanja. Ipak, ako usporedim slike kolekcija, čini mi se da prošle godine nisam kupila toliko stvari. Nastaviti ću s projektom smanjene kupnje kozmetie. Moram priznati da, kad vidim koliko stvari imam, prođe me želja za kupnjom još kozmetike.

So, here’s my complete make-up collection. As you can see, I’m quite a hoarder. I’ll just briefly mention the products – I won’t write the shade names, because a majority of the products were mentioned in my previous collection posts. If you want to know the exact shade of some product, please ask in comments.

—

Evo moje potpune kolekcije. Kao što možete vidjeti, jako volim gomilati. Samo ću ukratko imenovati proizvode, bez spominjanja nijansi budući da je većina proizvoda spomenuta u slikama prošle kolekcije. Ukoliko želite doznati ime određene nijanse, slobodno pitajte u komentarima.

First we’ll start with eyeshadows. This is my favourite part of make-up and I have ammassed quite a collection. The first picture features my Guerlain palettes + Chanel and YSL palette.

—

Započeti ćemo sa sjenilima. Sjenila su moj najdraži make-up proizvod i imam ih poprilično. Na prvoj su slici Guerlain, Chanel i YSL palete.

This photo features all of my other eyeshadows (Clarins, Catrice, Inglot, Sisley, Chanel), UD Book of Shadows 2 and Benefit Celebutante palette.

—

Na ovoj su slici sva ostala sjenila (Clarins, Catrice, Inglot, Sisley, Chanel), UD Book of Shadows i Benefit Celebutante paleta.

Next, we’ll continue with lip products. I prefer lipsticks to lip glosses and I almost never use a lip liner. On the far left are Sisley glosses, followed by Guerlain. Next are Sisley lipsticks, Guerlain and Benefit, MAC, Oriflame and finally three Rouge Automatiques. The lip liner is Essence.

—-

Zatim prelazimo na proizvode za usne. Ruževi su mi puno draži od sjajila, a olovku za usne koristim rijetko. Na krajnjoj lijevoj strani su Sisley sjajila i jedno Guerlain. Zatim slijede Sisley, Guerlain i Benefit ruževi, MAC, Oriflame, a na kraju su tri Rouge Automatique. Olovka za usne je Essence.

I don’t have many face products. The foundations are Dior and Sisley, concealers Lancome and Oriflame. There is Inglot Duraline and two primers: Guerlain and Sisley.

—

Nemam puno proizvoda za lice. Puderi su Dior i Sisley, korektori Lancome i Oriflame. Tu se također nalazi Inglot Duraline i dvije baze za lice: Guerlain i Sisley.

Here are powders and highlighters. We start with Guerlain blush which I use as a contour/highlight, Meteorites from holiday collections, Sephora compact powder, more meteorites, cK loose powder, two pressed meteorites and Sisley loose powder.

–

Ovo su puderi i highlighteri. Na početku se nalazi Guerlain rumenilo koje koristim za konturiranje i osvjetljivanje, Meteoriti iz božićnih kolekcija, Sephora kompaktni puder, još meteorita, cK puder u prahu, dva kompaktna meteorita i Sisley puder u prahu.

Blush is a product which, for some reasons, I have quite a lot of. First is Sisley, then Inglot and Dior (this one is impossible to spend), Guerlain and Sisley. In the second row are YSL and Guerlain bronzers.

—

Rumenilo je proizvod kojeg imam poprilično, iako ni sama ne znam kako. Prvo je Sisley, zatim Inglot i Dior (ovo je rumenilo nemoguće potrošiti), Guerlain i Sisley. U drugom redu nalaze se YSL i Guerlain bronzeri.

Here are eyeliners and other eye products. There is Chanel Le Sourcil de Chanel, Guerlain eyeliners (liquid and loose), Oriflame mascara and Essence eyeshadow base plus other eyeliners (Essence, Guerlain, UD, Givenchy, Sisley, Sephora)

—

Ovdje su olovke za oči i ostali slični proizvodi. Možete vidjeti Chanel Le Sourcil de Chanel, Guerlain tekući i eyeliner u prahu, Oriflame maskaru, Essence bazu za sjenila te ostale olovke za oči (Essence, Guerlain, UD, Givenchy, Sisley, Sephora)

In the end here are make-up samples (foundations and primers mostly).

–

Popis završavam s uzorcima (uglavnom puderi i baze za lice).

Well, that would be it. I do have quite a lot of stuff, but I try to use all of it (of course, not at the same time). I generally create “looks” in which I rotate different products. Anyway, I hope you liked the post

Have a great weekend.

Love, Tamara

—

Evo, to bi bilo to. Znam da imam puno proizvoda, ali trudim se koristiti ih sve (naravno ne istodobno). Uglavnom kombiniram “lookove” tako da izmjenjujem različite proizvode. Nadam se da vam se post svidio

Uživajte u vikendu.

Voli vas,

Tamara

how’s your week so far? Mine has been incredibly busy and boring – all work and no play, so today I’ll publish just one Instagram post. On Instagram (@tamara_fleurissante) I publish the things from my life, which is, as you can see from the pictures, currently very boring.

————

Zdravo dragi,

kakav je vaš tjedan bio dosad? Kod mene je velika gužva, tako da ću danas objaviti samo Instagram post. Inače na Instagramu (@tamara_fleurissante) objavljujem stvari iz mog života, koji je, kako možete vidjeti, trenutno vrlo dosadan.

1. I love snow and 60 cm of it made me really happy / Obožavam snijeg tako da sam bila presretna kada ga je napadalo 60 cm

2. Make-up of the day – my current make-up look: Chanel Ombres Perlees de Chanel, Guerlain Jeu de Nuit, Sisley Phyto Teint Eclat, Lancome concealer, Dior blush and Oriflame mascara / Šminka dana – kombinacija koju trenutno najviše nosim: Chanel Ombres Perlees de Chanel, Guerlain Jeu de Nuit, Sisley Phyto Teint Eclat, Lancome korektor, Dior rumenilo i Oriflame maskara

3. A biscuit cake I had for lunch – very unhealthy and delicious / Mramorni kolač kao ručak – vrlo nezdravo i ukusno

4. As much as I love snow, I have missed the sun. / Koliko god da volim snijeg, sunce mi je nedostajalo.

5. A part of my make-up hoard. You can expect stash inventory pictures in a day or two. / Dio moje gomile šminke. Možete očekivati slike cijele kolekcije za dan ili dva.

6. The song of the week: Soba 23 by Denis&Denis. / Pjesma tjedna: Soba 23 od Denis&Denis.

Thank you for reading.

Love, Tamara
