Hello, hello , hello!

Vjerujem da ste svi vi upoznati sa Essence brendom, barem stanovnici Europe bi trebali biti. Osim što su cjenovno jedni od najpristupačnijih drogerijskih proizvoda, uvijek nas iznova iznenađuju promjenama asortimana, izgleda i kvalitete proizvoda, te svojim prelijepim limitiranim kolekcijama. Ovo proljeće/ljeto su svašta nešto novo predstavili, a ja vam danas donosim recenziju Luminous Matt bronzera.

I believe most of you are familiar with Essence brand, at least the residents of Europe should be. In addition to being one of the most affordable drugstore products, they always surprise us with the changes in range, appearance and quality of products, and their lovely limited editions. This spring/summer they presented a lot of different things, and today I give you a review of Luminous Matt bronzer.

Bronzer dolazi u jednostavnom plastičnom pakiranju poput njihovih matte kamenih pudera. Samo pakiranje nije nešto naročito atraktivno ili čvrsto, no to ne uzimam za zlo. Na pakiranju ćete naći informacije vezane za proizvod, naziv nijanse i listu sastojaka. Za 9g proizvoda ćete izdvojiti oko 6 KM, što je i više nego povoljno.

Bronzer comes in a simple plastic packaging like their matte powders. The packaging itself is not particularly attractive or sturdy, but I don't mind it. On  the packaging you will find information about the product, shade name and the list of ingredients. 9g of products costs around 3€, which is more than affordable.

Iako pakiranje nije atraktivno, dizajn samog proizvoda je prelijep. 😍 Reljef na bronzeru je inspiriran suncem i mene malo podsijeća na aztečki. Gotovo mi ga je bilo žao koristiti da ne srušim reljef.

Although the packaging is not attractive, the design of product itself is gorgeous. 😍 The relief on the bronzer is inspired by sun and it reminds me a bit of Aztec one. I almost did not want to use it because I didn't want to ruin the relief.

Tekstura proizvoda je prilično mekana, ne trusi se previše i fino se blenda. Miris je gotovo neprimjetan, osim ako se skroz ne približite i meni je baš nekako ljetni. Nijansa proizvoda 01 Sunshine je, kako stoji na pakiranju, odličan za osobe svijetlog tena. Bronzer se zapravo sastoji od dvije nijanse, "vanjske" tamnije i toplije, mat i "unutarnje" svijetlije, satenske nijanse. Kada se te dvije nijanse pomiješaju dobijete jednu divnu toplu, no ne previše narančastu nijansu, koja ima blagi satenski-mat završetak. Daje lijep sjaj obrazima, no opet nije previše sjajan jer ne sadrži šljokice.

The texture of the products is quite soft, it doesn't fall out a lot and it blends nicely. The smell is almost inconspicuous, unless you get really close to it and I find it quite summery. The shade 01 Sunshine is, as the packaging states, great for lighter skin tone. The bronzer actually contains two shades, "external" darker and warmer, matte one and "internal" lighter, satin one. When these two shades are mixed you get one lovely warm, yet not too orange, shade which has a soft satin-matte finish. It gives cheeks some nice glow, but very discreet one because it doesn't contain glitter.

Kako je prilično svjetao, gotovo je nemoguće da pretjerate s njim. Pruža lijepu toplinu licu i daje mu zdrav, blago osunčan izgled, a odličan je i za "no-makeup" makeup look-ove. Iako ja jako volim makeup i cijeli taj proces ukrašavanja lica, u zadnje vrijeme se zaista minimalno šminkam i tu mi ovaj bronzer odlično uskače. Kombiniram ga uz toplije rumenilo i highlighter, jer naravno - ništa bez highlightera. Nekome možda i nije potreban, no ja volim dodatno zasjajiti lice. 😀

As it is quite light in shade, it is almost impossible to overdo it. It gives the face a nice warmth and healthy, slightly sun-kissed look, and it is also great for "no-makeup" makeup looks. Although I really like makeup and the whole process of decorating my face, lately I've been using minimal makeup lately and this is when the bronzer fits perfectly. I combine it with warm blush shade and highlighter, because - nothing without highlighter. Some people might not need it, but I like to put some extra glow on my face. 😀

Smatram da je ovaj bronzer ima odličan omjer cijene i kvalitete. Savršen je za osobe "duhovske" nijanse kože poput mene. 😀 Njegov luminous matt završetak je prekrasan i totalno sam zaljubljena u njega. Definitivno ga preporučujem svima svijetle puti, dok će za tamnopute biti previše svijetao.

I think this bronzer has an excellent price / quality ratio. It is perfect for "ghostly" skin tone like mine. 😀 I find its luminous matte finish is beautiful and I am completely in love with it. I definitely recommend it to everyone with light skin tone, while it might bee too light for darker skin tones.
