Autumn really has lots of nice things in store for us beauty wise – new season collections are popping up everywhere like mushrooms after rain and I think that's divine. I love having plenty to choose from. If you are based on Austria, Belarus or Bosnia and Herzegovina – this post is brimmin’ with info about one of my favorite drugstore brands. Unfortunately, availability of Revelique Cosmetics isn't as fab as I think their products deserve it to be. Hopefully, that will change (fingers crossed). Later on, I'll let all those interested know which new products the brand has in store for us but now – I want to review a concealer of theirs. Revelique Cover Up Stick in Beige (30) is what I'm using right now as all my concealer reserves have been seriously drained. Even though I've featured this concealer in my previous weekly favorites post I must say that I'm not 100% satisfied with all aspects of this product. What I find the lacking feature is the packaging. Although it really does not look aesthetically bad in any way – I think it could be a bit more sturdy. In particular, I have a problem with the lid. It's a bit flimsy and it cracked during the first week of use. Having in mind that this concealer ir supposed to be suitable for fast corrections and use while you're on the go (carrying it in your handbag is the ultimate test) – I find that this should be improved. It's not a huge fault but it's not irrelevant either.
Jesen nam je, medju ostalim lijepim stvarima, sinonim za novitete u beauty svijetu – novosezonske kozmeticke kolekcije nicu poput pecurki nakon kise i licno mislim da je to divno. Volim kada imamo bas lijep izbor kozmetike tako da svako za sebe moze pronaci nesto. Ukoliko se nalazite i citate me iz Austrije, Bjelorusije ili BiH – u ovom postu cete pronaci mnostvo informacija o proizvodima jednog od meni najdrazih drogerijskih brendova. Nazalost, dostupnost Revelique Cosmetics proizvoda nije bas najbolja iako se iskreno nadam da ce se to uskoro promijeniti jer njihova kozmetika to zasluzuje. Pred kraj posta cu pisati kojim nas je to novitetima pocastio ovaj brend no za sada – zelim napisati rijec-dvije o jednom njihovom korektoru. Revelique Cover Up korektor u nijansi Beige (30) je jedini korektor koji trenutno koristim jer su mi rezerve korektora ‘presusile‘ tako da ga intenzivno koristim. Iako je bio predstavljen u sklopu proslosedmicnih favorita, moram priznati kako nisam 100% zadovoljna ovim kozmetickim proizvodom. Ono sto bih izdvojila kao nesto na cemu mislim da se treba poraditi je pakovanje. Iako mu sa estetske strane nemam zamjerki – mislim da bi pakovanje trebalo biti cvrsce, robusnije. Konkretno, imam problem sa poklopcem. Pomalo je labav i tokom prve sedmice koristenja je napukao sto utice na to da se ne zatvara do kraja. Imajuci na umu da je ovaj korektor i namijenjen da bude praktican za koristenje u svakom trenu – nije bas irelevantna pouzdanost kucista. Nije rijec o masivno velikom problemu ali ima mjesta poboljsanju.
What I do like is the concealer itself. Some might find the lipstick appeal strange, others might love it – I have nothing against it. You get 4g of product for approx 4,50$ which I find to be a decent ratio of price and quantity. As for quality – the brand states that this concealer provides high coverage. I'd say that it gives a decent medium coverage and I love the fact that it really is a versatile product. You can use it to cover dark under-eye circles, light redness and smaller blemishes. It is a bit better for blemishes though, due to its oil-free texture. It has a neutral smell, the one most non-scented beauty bits have and it really is easy to blend out (even with just clean fingers). It's almost mousse-like, not as creamy as you might think. That's why I think it performs better on blemishes rather than under eyes – especially if you have dry skin. It comes in four shades (Nude, Sand, Beige, Toffee) – mine is Beige (30) which is definitely of a warm yellow undertone. Good news is that there are two lighter shades which will probably appeal to fair skins. I can make Beige (30) work for now, but as my light tan starts to fade – I think I'd be better off with the Nude (10) shade. You can find the entire ingredients list below.
Ono sto me zadrzava pri koristenju ovog korektora su sve njegove vrline. Nekima bi se oblik koji podsjeca na ruz za usne mogao uciniti neobicnim, drugima ce se dopasti – meni u svakom slucaju ne smeta. Dobijete 4g proizvoda za cijenu od 6,95KM (odabrani cm marketi u BiH), sto smatram da je lijep omjer kvantitete i cijene. Sto se kvalitete tice – brend navodi da bi ovaj korektor trebao pruzati potpuno prekrivanje. Mislim da se ipak radi o srednjem prekrivanju a dopada mi se sto ne ogranicava upotrebu. Mozete ga koristiti da prekrijete blago izrazene podocnjake, slabo crvenilo i sitnije bubuljice. Cak bih rekla da efikasnije prekriva bubuljice zbog nemasne teksture. Neutralnog je mirisa i zaista ga je moguce sa lakocom blendati (cak i cistim prsticima). Teksturu bih opisala pomalo pjenastom, nije kremast koliko mi se ucinio da je u pakovanju. Zato i kazem da je mozda bolji za ciljano prekrivanje na licu nego za koristenje ispod ociju – pogotovo ako vam je koza suha. Korektor je dostupan u 4 nijanse (Nude, Sand, Beige, Toffee) – ja imam nijansu Beige (30) koja definitivno vuce na topli zuti podton. Jos uvijek se mogu provuci koristeci je dok mi blago osuncani ten ne pocne blijediti – tada cu nabaviti nijansu Nude (10). Listu sastojaka mozete pogledati ispod.

As for the Revelique Cosmetics new products I mentioned – there are three new bits. Revelique Make Up Gel Base – Transparent primer for a comfortable and long-lasting make-up wear. The light oil free gel fills in small wrinkles and imperfections, pores get refined. Thanks to the velvety gel base the make-up application is easier than usual and the complexion looks smooth and even. Revelique 3in1 Concealer Kit – Correcting concealer with high coverage in three individual shades. Neutralizes redness, covers dark eye circles and hides small wrinkles and imperfections. The long-lasting formula with white clay and hyaluronic acid combines an anti-blemish action to the skin and an immediate optical smoothing effect. Easy application with fingers or accompanying applicator. Finally, we have the Revelique Bronzing Powder – Luminous and silky bronzing powder with medium coverage for all skin types. Gives the skin a fresh, natural and slight tanned complexion. Has a lightweight and velvety finish thanks to the moisturizing formula with hyaluronic acid. I will review these three new bits shortly on the blog but I must say that they do sound and look quite interesting. Will the bronzer be shimmer-free? How does the base cope under harsh weather? Will the concealer kit truly multitask? These are all questions to which you will find my answers in one of upcoming posts.
Glede Revelique Cosmetics noviteta – imamo tri nova proizvoda. Revelique Podloga za puder u gelu – Prozirna baza za ugodan i dugotrajan make-up. Bezuljni gel popunjava bore i nepravilnosti na kozi, pore postaju rafinirane. Zahvaljujuci barsunastoj gel bazi, make-up se nanosi lakse nego obicno, a ten postaje njezan i ujednacen. Revelique 3u1 set korektora za lice – Korektor s visokim stepenom prekrivanja u tri nijanse. Neutralise crvenilo, prekriva tamne krugove ispod ociju – podocnjake, skriva bore i nepravilnosti.

Lagan je i barsunast, zahvaljujuci hidratantnoj formuli s hijaluronskom kiselinom. Uskoro mozete ocekivati recenzije ovih noviteta na MB blogu i zaista moram priznati da su na prvu jako zanimljivi. Da li bronzer (ne)sadrzi shimmer? Kako ce se baza pokazati pod utjecajem zahtjevnih uvjeta? Da li ce paleta korektora istinski udovoljiti svim zahtjevima? Odgovore na ova pitanja cete pronaci u jednom od narednih postova.
