When I've heard about the new Revelique Cosmetics make-up collection for A/W 2014./15. I was very excited indeed. Revelique is definitely one of my favorite drugstore brands so I'm always curious about what have they prepared for us next. Besides that initial excitement I have to admit that I was a bit puzzled by the presence of a bronzer – a make-up item most people usually associate with summer days and so desired summer rays. I could even connect the dots in the way that some women love using bronzer especially during colder months as to mimic that warmth complexions usually lack come Autumn. On the other hand, a good or even a decent bronzer is something of a rarity in the drugstore circles so, naturally, I was a bit wary and a bit hesitant as I had no idea what to expect. The only drugstore bronzer I love and use is the Chocolate one by Bourjois and I haven't noticed that any other drugstore brand so far has successfully achieved to pinpoint what women want when it comes to bronzers. Well, dear ladies I think even the palest among you can rejoice as the Revelique Cosmetics Bronzing Powder is heavenly! I know that the color doesn't look as exciting in the pan but from my experience – as far as bronzers, blushes and even eyeshadows go – the relatively unappealing shades turn out to look most natural and most flattering.
Kada sam cula da Revelique Cosmetics priprema novu kolekciju za jesen/zimu koja ce upotpuniti njihov kozmeticki asortiman, itekako sam bila uzbudjena. Revelique je definitivno jedan od meni najdrazih drogerijskih brendova tako da sam uvijek radoznala kada nam pripremaju novitete. Osim tog pocetnog uzbudjenja, bila sam malo iznenadjena prisutstvom bronzera u kolekciji za jesen i zimu. Obicno bronzer vecina ljudi povezuje sa ljetom i tim zeljenim osuncanim tenom kakav postizemo sa ovim proizvodom. Mogla sam cak i da povezem tackice u smislu da znam kako pojedine zene mozda najvise koriste bronzere tokom hladnijih mjeseci upravo kada je ten najsvjetliji, kako bi mu podarile malo zdrave boje. Sa druge strane, mislim da je prilicno jasno kako je u drogerijskom rangu skoro pa nemoguce pronaci pristojan, kamoli izvrstan bronzer. Naravno da sam bila pomalo skepticna glede ovog noviteta jer nisam znala sta da ocekujem. Jedini drogerijski bronzer kojim sam zadovoljna i koji zaista koristim je ‘cokolada’ od Bourjois-a no osim njega, uopste nisam primjetila bilo kakav pozitivan pomak u drogerijama. Dame kojima Revelique nije dostupan kao brend ce da se naljute na mene a one koje su u mogucnosti da ga isprobaju biti ce prezadovoljne informacijom da je Revelique Cosmetics bronzer fantastican! Mislim da sama nijansa u pakovanju ne izgleda posebno, niti se narocito istice no iz mog iskustva – kada su bronzeri, rumenila pa cak i sjene za oci u pitanju – najneupadnije nijanse su one koje ustvari i izgledaju najljepse, najprirodnije na kozi.
As for the packaging, it's the same as we've seen with Revelique Duo Powder Blushes. You get the same shape, design and dimensions but you get 5g of bronzer instead od 6g of blush. I guess it's not a major difference as you do get two shades of blush and just one shade of bronzer but I figured it was worth noting. There is only one shade of this bronzing powder called Sun Kissed (10) and it's a lovely, orange-free hue! This is a true bronzer I expect will cater to even the palest of compexions. It provides warmth but there is no orange undertone – just a lovely skin-like, golden glow. It's also not shimmery – it does contain sparse micro flecks but those don't translate on the skin at all. I've only noticed the skin looks luminous on photos but there is no visible shimmer. The texture is amazingly soft and silky whilst the pigmentation is also really good. It's of a lightweight and velvety finish, provides a visible hint of color to the skin on first application but you can build it up. I think it will look lovely on pale skin as it's not orange or shimmery but even medium skintones will benefit as it makes skin look beautiful, with just a dash of warmth. To be honest, this bronzing powder gives an impression of a much more expensive, luxurious product than it actually is. I'd advise to apply it with a fluffy brush (such as the Real Techniques Blush Brush) and since it's so soft, if you have a ‘heavy’ hand – don't worry as it applies evenly. You can apply it as you would a blush or in that ‘3’ motion (temples, under cheeks and along the chin). Longevity is spot on – an entire working day during which it fades evenly. Dear readers, I think I have my new favorite bronzer so if you're able to get your hands on it – don't hesitate, it has my utmost recommendation.
Sto se tice pakovanja, identicno je pakovanju kakvo smo vidjeli kod Revelique Duo Powder rumenila. U pitanju je isti oblik, dizajn i dimenzije uz jedinu razliku da dobijete 5g bronzera umjesto 6g rumenila. Na neki nacin to nije neobicno jer u pakovanju rumenila dobijemo dvije nijanse dok je bronzer, ocigledno, samo u jednoj. Dostupna je samo jedna nijansa pod nazivom Sun Kissed (10) i na sveopste odusevljenje – nije narandzasta! Molim za turu aplauza – nekome tko mozda i nije toliko strastven ljubitelj kozmetike moje odusevljenje mozda nece shvatiti no vjerujem da ipak vecina citateljica hoce – izuzetno sam zadovoljna sto nam se na trzistu pojavio bronzer za koji vjerujem da ce zadovoljiti veliku vecinu korisnica. Revelique bronzer pruza tenu divnu toplinu no bez narandzastih primjesa – vise se radi o krasnom, zlatnom tonu koji se divno sljubi i stopi sa kozom. Takodjer, ne sadrzi sljokice – sadrzi sitne sjajne mikro cestice no na licu ih uopste ne vidim. Tekstura je prekrasno mekana i svilenkasta a pigmentacija je takodjer sjajna. Laganog je barsunastog finisa i mislim da ce izgledati odlicno na svijetloj kozi posto nije narandzastih primjesa i ne sadrzi sljokice dok ce istaci ljepotu i srednje tamne koze te ce joj podariti dasak topline. Ovaj bronzer mi po svakoj tacki odaje dojam mnogo skupocjenijeg proizvoda nego sto jeste. Za nanosenje bih preporucila mekani, blago veci kist (poput Real Techniques Blush Brush). Ukoliko ste ‘teske’ ruke’, nemojte brinuti jer tekstura ovog bronzera dopusta postepeno intenziviranje boje koju ostavlja. Mozete bronzer nanijeti kao sto bi i rumenilo ili u obliku broja 3 (slijepoocnice, ispod jagodina, ivica vilice). Trajnost je odlicna – cijeli radni dan tokom kojeg boja ravnomjerno blijedi. Drage citateljice, mislim da sam otkrila mozda i najdrazi, najbolji od svih bronzera koje imam a da je pristupacne cijene. Revelique Cosmetics bronzer kosta 9KM i mozete ga pronaci u BiH u odabranim cm trgovinama dok je takodjer dostupan u Austriji i Bjelorusiji.
