Brushes Part 2 + ELF Mystery bag

Sooo, we continue with the haul only this time ELF brushes and some other freebies. :)


During the Halloween ELF had a promotion where for the certain amount of money you spend, you get a free Mystery bag with their products worth 1o GBP.
I need to mention that ELF's products are very affordable. Some are amazing and on the other hand, some are terrible.
So, let's see what I bought and what I've been lovin' so far... ;)

/////

Dakle nastavljamo gde smo stali i ovog puta vam predstavljam ELF cetkice i jos neke stvarcice. :)

Tokom Noci vestica, Elf je imao promociju na njihovom website-u gde ste uz svaki kupovinu dobijali poklon iznenadjenja u vrednosti 10 funti ako potrosite 20, 30 eura, ne secam se tacno koliko.

ELF proizvodi su jako pristupacni sto se cena tice i isporucuju sirom sveta, ukljucujuci i Srbiju. Doduse, kvalitet se jako razlikuje od proizvoda do proizvoda i dok su neki fantasticni, drugi su zaista losi.

Ali hajde da predjemo na to sta sam kupila i sta mi se od svega ovoga svidja. :) 

This is how the package looks like when you first open it

 Ovako proizvodi izgledaju u kutiji kad stignu

All brushes are in a protective case /// Sve cetkice su u zastitnom plasticnom pakovanju

 

Names of the brushes /// Nazivi cetkica (opisi slede u daljnem tekstu)

First one is the Angled Blush Brush which is a bit smaller than you would normally expect but that is the advantage since it fits perfectly in the hollows of the cheeks for contouring and for applying blush as well. 

Prva je Kosa Cetkica za Rumenilo koja je malo manja nego sto bi inace ocekivali ali upravo ovo je prednost iste posto savrseno "leze" u udubljenja na licu, tj. na obraze, za sencenje kontura lica ili nanosenje rumenila.

Angled eyeliner brush is perfect for lining your lash line and I think it's a bit easier to work with than with the "normal" eyeliner brushes which are not angled. It has a very fine tip so it creates thin lines with no problem.

Nakrivljena cetkica za eyeliner je savrsena za crtanje linija duz trepavica i mislim da je malo lakse raditi sa ovakvim tipom cetkice nego sa standardnom, ravnom. Ima prilicno fin i tanak vrh tako da iscrtavanje tankih linija nije problem.

Concealer brush
As the name says, I've been using it for applying my concealer. The one I'm using is MAC's Pro Longwear which is liquid but this brush would work great with creams as well. It fits magically in all curves around the eyes. Also can be used for highlighting the cheeks.

Kao sto joj samo ime kaze, cetkica za korektor se koristi upravo za nanosenje istog. Ja u poslednje vreme koristim MAC-ov Pro Longwear koji je tecni, ali ce dobro sluziti i za kremaste korektore. Savrseno prati konture oka. Takodje se moze koristiti za highlight proizvode koji se nanose na vrh jagodicne kosti.

Concealer brush

Small stippling brush
This one is a pretty versatile brush so it can be used for many purposes. Applying foundation (just with a bigger one), blush, highlight, concealer etc.

Ova cetkica se moze koristiti za razne namene. Za nanosenje podloge/pudera (samo veca verzija ove cetkice), rumenilo, highlight-a, korektora, itd.

Powder Brush
Ok, this last one is my absolute favorite out of all ELF brushes!! Even though it's called Powder brush, I use it for my foundation (same as the Sigma F80 from the last post). It blends out any type of foundation you use... liquid, cream, powder, compact... AMAZING brush! Especially for that price. This one is a must for anyone using make-up!

Ok, ova poslednja je moj apsolutni favorit od svih ELF cetkica!! Iako se zove Cetkica za Puder, ja (i ostatak beauty sveta :)) je koristim za tecni puder (isto kao i Sigma F80 koju sam spominjala u prvom delu ovog posta). Savrseno razmazuje bilo koji tip podloge koje koristite... tecne, krem, u prahu, kamene... FANTASTICNA cetkica! Posebno za ovu cenu. Ova je definitivni MUST za bilo koga ko koristi sminku!

So, just a short summary of ELF brushes. I have been loving all of these and I'm using each of them on daily basis since the moment I received them.
They are all part of the Studio line and the price for each is 3.75 pounds which is around 4 euros. Very soft bristles and very easy to work with. I would def re-purchase these brushes and would gladly recommend it to anyone.

The only thing I don't like is that sometimes the handle will fall off but it is easy to re-glue it and problem solved. Even with this issue, I would buy it over and over again. 



Dakle, kratko sumiranje ELF cetkica. Od momenta kad sam ih dobila sam se zaljubila u njih i koristim ih, doslovno, svaki dan.
Ove su sve deo Elf Studio Linije, a cena svake je 3.75 britanskih funti sto dodje negde oko 4 eura. Izuzetno su mekane i lake za koriscenje. Ja bih ih toplo preporucila svima i definitivno cu nastaviti da ih narucujem.

Jedina stvar koaj mi  se ne svidja je ta da ponekad drska zna da se odlepi i otpadne (najvise zbog vode, koja i pored svog truda da se pokvasi samo dlaka, ipak udje u spojeve i osteti lepak) mogu lako da se zalepe sa super lepkom. :) Ali cak i pored ovog problemcica, ja cu nastaviti da ih kupujem jer zaista vrede za tu cenu.

Mystery bag from ELF

 

So this is what I got - nail polish, cream eyeliner and eyeliner&shadow stick /// A ovo je bio poklon za Halloween - lak za nokte, kremasti eyeliner i eyeliner&senka u stiku

In colors "Plum purple" and "Moss green" /// Boje/nazive mozete procitati na slici iznad, na pakovanju

Little brush comes with the eyeliner and it is really good for applying eyeliner though it would be much better if it would come in a small plastic container so if you go out and use it for touch ups, you wouldn't mess up your make-up bag.
Cetkica koja stize sa eyelinerom je zaista dobra, ali bi bilo mnogo bolje kad bi stizala u nekoj zastitnoj plasticnoj kutijici tako da, ukoliko ga nosite sa sobom za popravljanje sminke tokom dana/noci, ne biste isprljale torbu kad je vratite unutra. Ali dobro. :)

This is how the liner and the shadow look like /// Ovako izgledaju eyeliner i senka u stiku

Also, one thing I would like to add regarding the Cream Eyeliner... I have it also in the shade "Metallic Olive" and it is sth I have been grabbing a lot in the past two months. It is the perfect colour (dark green although it's really hard to describe it in two words) if you don't like black, if it's too harsh for you or if you simply want to try something new. I'm in love with it because it does line your eyes so they pop but it is so subtle that it doesn't stand out too much. Perfect for the lazy days when you don't feel like wearing too much make-up but still want to look polished. :) 

Takodje, jos jedna stvar koju zelim da dodam u vezi kremastog eyeliner-a... Osim ove koju sam dobila, imam ga u jos jednoj boji "Metallic Olive" i to jedan od proizvoda koji zaista cesto koristim u poslednja dva meseca. Ukoliko ne volite crni liner, ako vam je previse taman ili jednostavno zelite da probate nesto novo, ovo je savrsena boja za to (otprilike tamno zelena iako je tesko opisati je u dve reci). Ja sam prosto zaljubljena u tu boju jer vam jako lepo istakne oci, ali na jako suptilan nacin. Savrseno za one lenje dane kada ne zelite da imate puno sminke na licu ali ipak zelite da izgledate lepo. :)

That's it. As before, I hope this wasn't too boring to read. :) If you have any suggestions, anything particular you would like to read about - product descriptions and impressions, swatches, make-up looks you would like me to do - please let me know and I will do my best to make it happen. :)

Toliko od mene za ovaj put. Kao i do sad, nadam se da vam nije bilo previse dosadno da citate ovoliko. :) Ukoliko imate neki predlog o cemu bi bilo dobro pisati - opis i utisci o odredjenim proizvodima, isprobavanje i testiranje, neki odredjeni make-up - javite, pa cu se potruditi da vam ispunim zelju. :)
