Hurraw! Lip balm review

Hurraw! lip balms are the one thing that i always keep in my purse. I've been using them for some time now and i absolutely love them.

What are Hurraw! lip balms anyway?

In my humble opinion they are by far the best lip balms i've ever had. They are all natural, vegan and made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients. The core ingredients in Hurraw! lip balms are almond oil, coconut oil, cacao butter, jojoba oil, olive oil, castor oil, candelila wax and different flavors that are derived from 100% natural sources. To sum everything up --> they are a real nourishing bomb for your lips.

I've tried a couple of them (unfortunately 2 are missing on the picture): Black cherry, Lime, Lemon, Moon balm and Mint.

Since my lips are pretty sensitive, they're in need of a constant care. I'm usually dealing with problems like chapped and dry lips and i can honestly say these lip balms do their magic and really help me with my problems.

What is the application like?

The thing i like the most is that it's not sticky and grainy and that it's long lasting. The nice smell is also one of the best things about this balm, cause it's not to intrusive. My favourite Hurraw! balm is Lime.

This one is my absolute favourite and i've already used up the second one. The scent is amazing, just as if i was putting fresh lime on my lips (except that it's much more nourishing). It's perfect for summer, because of it's fresh smell.

Another interesting thing about this balm is it's oval shape which makes application really precise and easy.

Lemon balm is right behind the Lime one. This one also had a relly fresh scent, just like freshy squeezed lemonade. I had lots of problems deciding weather i want the Lemon or the Lime one, but i went for the Lime one in the end. Orange and Grapefruit are still on my wishlist.

I use Moon Balm before i go to sleep, cause it nourishes my lips are through the night. The scent is subtle vanilla. Even though this is a wonderful lip balm, i prefer the Lime&Lemon one, only because i really like fresh scents.

Pluses +

+ organic, cruelty free and fair trade ingredients

+ nourishes lips beautifully 

+ wide range of different scents 

+ good and reasonable price

Minuses -

-the scent of some lip balms can be pretty overwhelming, but at the end that really just depends on what kind of scents you like.

Another interesting thing: At Hurraw! they hand mix and individually pour each tube of Hurraw! Balm.

Hurraw! balzami za ustnice

Hurraw balzami so stalnica v moji torbici. Uporabljam jih že nekaj mesecev in sem preprosto navdušena. 

Kaj sploh so Hurraw! balzamčki?

No, po mojem skromnem mnenju so to daleč najboljši balzami kar sem jih kdaj imela. Gre za izdelek iz organskih, veganskih, presnih, cruelty free in fair trade sestavin. V samem balzamčku pa se skriva mandljevo olje, kokosovo olje, kakavovo maslo, jojobino olje, olivno olje, ricinovo olje, kandelijin vosek, vse skupaj pa se lepo zaokroži z različnimi okusi (npr. višnja, chai spice itd.), ki so 100% naravni. Hurraw torej v sebi skriva pravo negovalno bombo za ustnice.

Preizkusila sem torej že nekaj balzamčkov (2 žal manjkata na sliki), in sicer: Črno češnjo, limeto (moj naaaajljubši), limono in mint.

Sama imam zelo občutljive ustnice, ki potrebujejo konstantno nego. Srečujem se s problemi kot so pekoče,razpokane in suhe ustnice. Teli lip balzami mi zelo pomagajo pri vseh zgoraj naštetih težav in mi dokaj hitro pomirijo še tako razdražene ustnice.

Kakšen je občutek po nanosu?

Najbolj mi je všeč da balzam ni lepljiv in zrnat, ter da je precej dolgoobstojen. Še boljša stvar pa je vonj, ki pa ni vsiljiv --> meni najljubši je definitivno Limeta 

 Limetin hurrawček je torej moj najljubši in sem pred kratkim ravno porabila že drugega. Vonj je neverjeten, kot da bi si ustnice namazala s svežo limeto (samo da je veliko bolj negovalen) in je popoln za poletne dni, ravno zaradi svežega vonja.

Še ena zanimiva stvar je neobičajna oblika, ki je ovalna in nam omogoča natančen nanos.

Takoj za limeto sledi limona. Prav tako zelo svež vonj, čisto po sveži limonadi. Nazadnje sem imela precej težav pri izbiri med limono in limeto saj sta mi oba zelo všeč, a sem se na koncu le odločila za limeto. Vsekakor pa čakajo na vrsto še pomaranča in grejpfrut.

Tale nočni hurrawček je definitivno čudovit za nanos pred spanjem, ker lepo neguje ustnice skozi celo noč, vonj pa je nekako nežno vanilijin. Kljub temu da gre za čudovit balzam, grejo vseeno vse moje točke zgornjima dvema, ravno zaradi vonja. Gre za osebno preferenco, saj so mi bolj všeč sveži in citrusni vonji :)

Plusi +

+ organski, cruelty free in fair trade sestavine

+ lepo neguje in nahrani ustnice

+ široka izbira različnih okusov

+ dostopna cena (4,99€ -5,50€ na Or-ca spletni strani, dobi pa se jih tudi na tujih spletnih straneh kot je np.r Hurraw!balm.com in iHerb.com )

Minusi -

- vonj nekaterih balzamčkov zna biti precej izrazit, vendar pa je to odvisno od vsakega posameznika in kaj nam je všeč :)

Še ena zanimivost: celoten postopek je opravljen ročno. Od nabiranja sestavin, mešanja in ročnega polnjenja embalaže :)

Skulls, clouds and smiles

Despite the fact the weather is totally crappy these days, i feel kinda great. And even though i have A LOT of work to do for college, i just try to keep my head up high and stay optimistic :P my goals for this year are pretty high so i have to give it my all to achieve what i want. I really think the key is in good organization.

Enough about weather and school...pretty boring stuff right?:) Here's what i was wearing today...i didn't really fell like dressing up, so i just put on something warm and comfortable, and spiced it up with this totally cool skull scarf that i borrowed from my sister -->

I'm wearing: Shirt, sweater, black jeans, bag and parka H&M, skull scarf Primark, spike bracelet Asos, fantasy ring Disney, black ankle boots Graceland.

I can't wait for warmer days cause i already updated my wardrobe with some pretty springy/summery stuff and i can't wait to show them to you :)

What's new in your wardrobe?

Already getting ready for higher temperatures?

Have fun ladies,

xo,

M

Just a quick hello

Waaaaa, it's such a beautiful sunny day here in Ljubljana...i'm loving it so far!Even though, i have tons of work to do, i don't mind since i have lots and lots of energy today :)

Anyways, here is photo of what i was wearing today...it's only one photo, but you'll get the idea :P

I'm wearing: pants, shirt, blazer, starfish ring H&M, watch Asos, sunglasses Vogue, black ankle boots Graceland

I also have a few pics of my nailpolish :P i've been wearing it for 3 days now and it still hasn't chipped...so far so good. Here's Essence Joe (it's such a cute and pretty nail polish, don't know what they named it Joe haha) :)

And how are you doing on this beautiful day?

Why not treat yourself?

Hey ladies, what's up?It's such a beautiful sunny day outside i can't help but feel super happy :) my day started out so good...i woke up this morning, feeling relaxed and fresh and made myself a big cup of coffee that gave me that little extra boost of energy i needed to start this day. 

Oh, and how did i start my day?Or should i say, how i should start my day...hihi, of course i should start it by studying but i didn't. Instead, i thought it would be a good (no, wait...a brilliant) idea to check out Asos web page and browse through all the pretty things that are just calling my name...well, i wasn't really impressed by a lot of things, but when i saw these, they just had to be mine -->

Asos Storm Point Court Shoes 

What are your thoughts on pointed shoes?

I'm not really a fan, but i really like this pair.

And i also couldn't resist this bracelet -->

And the best part is, i got them 25% off with this code --> NEWSEASON25 

Maybe it's time to put some wanted items off your wishlist and into your shopping bag :P

And how did you start your day?

You bought what?

Yes...i'm guilty :) I have to admit that last week or so, i was like "hell no, i'm not getting myself a colorful pair of jeans" (even though i desperately needed them in any color other than black). So here i was, going on a good lunch with my sister, standing in H&M instead of a restaurant, putting on a pair of mint trousers and thinking...there is no way that these will look good on me!Wait, what?I was hooked...they look amazing!I asked my sister what she thinks and we both agreed i just had to take them home with me :) She got a pair to...in yellow, and they look amazing on her!

I also got these dreamy feather earrings...

pants & earrings H&M

I absolutely love how they fit me and i'm definitely considering getting some more colorful pants, now that i know they can actually look good on me :)

I've already put together a couple of outfits with them and i can't wait to show them to you!

So what do you think about this years pastel trend?Will you go for it?

Things that make me happy

Let's talk about things that make us happy. There are so many little details and stuff that put a smile on my face i decided i'd like to share them with you...

I LOVE to wake up in the morning and enjoy a good coffe in my favourite cup. It gives me time to get ready for a new day and all the things that are on my "to do" list. 

Freshly painted nails...i know this one in kinda silly, but i really like picking up a new color out of my nail polish collection and kinda sum up how i'm feeling at the moment. I always pick the color that shows in what kind of mood i'm in...do you?

Ah....good dessert always puts a smile on my face. I'm a true candy lover, so a nice pretty cupcake, warm chocolate pancakes or refreshing ice-cream is all i need when i'm feeling a little down.

Flowers in the spring (or at any time of course). Why?Because it just shows how many beautiful things we can find around us and it's such a sweet prelude to summer.

Another thing that makes me happy is opening the bycicle season...and i'm super happy it's already warm enough to do so :)

Of course, this list is never ending

 but i would really like to hear what makes you happy?

I hope you have a great sunny day darlings :*

Love,

M

How could i not write a blog post on leap year!It's such a special date and besides...the day was way too beautiful to skip taking some photos of my today's outfit :)

So, i'm back from my skiing trip and it was awesome. The weather was perfect and it was really relaxing too. It was so weird when we got home and it was like 15°C...the temperature difference was very noticeable, but i don't mind having more spring like weather around here :P 

Ok, i'll stop boring you with my blabbing...here are the pics of today's outfit --> 

I'm wearing: H&M skirt, blazer, hair elastic, TopShop boots, random tights, Asos watch and snake necklace, bag from Ebay, Vogue sunglasses

I really wanted to capture my newest accessorie - hair elastic with golden detail...like it?

Another thing i would like to share with you is this gorgeous view from our balcony -->

What have you been up to ladies?

Enjoying the sun? :)

Short and fun getaway

Hey ladies?How are you?I just got back from a mini vacations with my BF and it was great...just what i needed!It was totally relaxing (except when we decided to walk on frozen lake, that was a bit terrifying for me but we survived) and i can't wait for another short getaway :) 

So i finally took the time to take some pics of that beige sequin sweater i've been talking about a lot...i love to wear it, it's so comfy and i think it goes with everything. I like the fact that it's a simple oversized sweater, but at the same time the sequins make it special and it doesn't look like an ordinary sweater.

I can't remember the last time i was walking on frozen lake...well, i can tell you that it was a special experience and i totally freaked out a couple of times when i heard the ice crack. Brrr, you can imagine how happy i was when we got back and stepped on solid ground :)

Here's a picture of the lake -->

I'm wearing: River Island oversize beige sequin sweater, random tights, H&M black dress, TopShop boots, a bag from ebay (gift from my BF), coat Zara, sunglasses Vogue

Yeeeey, bright sunny day :)

A little break on Bled Island :) 

What have you been up to ladies?

Ever walked on frozen lake before?Were you scared?

Kisses,

M

Couldn't resist

Hey ladies, how are you?I've been ill for the last couple of days (i guess i cought a cold during the weekend) and it just remembered me that catching a cold is no fun...na-a. But i'm feeling better now :) Anyways, i really enjoyed my "time-out", hanging in my room watching new episodes of different tv series with a hot cup of tea in one hand and a tissue in another :)

After feeling just a little bit better i went out and ran into these colorful and sparkling cuties...i couldn't decide which one i like best so i took these -->

1. Essence Nail Art Twins --> Romeo&Julia

2. Essence Nail Art Twins -- Blair

3. Essence Nail Art Twins --> Gabriella&Troy

Are you familiar with Essence Twins?Do you like the combos?

Which one is you favourite?

Of course i didn't stop there....while passing H&M i noticed these pretty springy ballerinas :) Again, i couldn't decide about the colour so i took them in green and blue -->

4. H&M ballerinas in blue

5. H&M ballerinas in green

Can't wait to wear them...

How could i resist such pretty and vibrant colors?Would you?

Hope you're all feeling well and warm,

Love, M

Back to the 80's

Big hair (that was a tough one), heavy makeup, pink lipstick, crazy neons and sequins....80's was all about having fun :) 

This song always reminds me of good times and make me happy so go, listen to the song and have some fun :D

On it's way and a new family member

Look what i finally ordered...i've wanted this sequin sweater for sooo long but it was always sold out. That's a funny story actually, cause i finally gave up on it and bought a replacement in Stradivarius (also a sequin sweater, the only difference is that i bought it in silver), and when i got home i checked River Island's site (doooh, what else!) and saw that it was back in stock :) i didn't hesitate this time and bought it immediately along with a dress that, unfortunately, i won't be getting because they ran out of stock :/ buuu...but at least i'm finally getting my oversized sequin sweater :D

And here is the dress that is on my wishlist now :P i hope they get it back in stock

And now the exciting news...we have a new family member :D here she is -->

Bombica

Well, i gotta run now...i have two exams this week so i have to go and study!Pure joy :) haha

Have a great week ladies

Love, 

M

Right now i'm....

Studying...i wish i could tell you i'm studying like crazy but unfortunately (for me) this is not the case so i put together some inspirational pics to keep me motivated at least a little bit :)

I really hope this quote is true :D

I definitely need to step up my game, so here's a new 2012 resolution -->

True, indeed :D 

vir

Oh well...yep, that got me motivated :P now all i have to do is clean my room a little bit, make myself a cup of coffee, call my friend to see how she's doing with her studying and...haha, sounds like a plan right?

Do you have any interesting study technics?Please share :D

Meow

iWant!

I think this leather jacket is absolutely gorgeous...my jaw dropped when i saw it!It's also quite expensive (140£) 

Oh well, maybe i'll win the lottery, who knows :P

Nice ankle boots would go great with the jacket right?

Oh well...i just had to include some bling :P haha :D

All from River Island

Have you put together your wishlist?

I seriously need to STOP browsing through River Island, Asos and other similar websites cause this is just too much :)
