Catrice Defining Duo rumenilo 020 Peach Sorbet/ Catrice Defining Duo blush 020 Peach Sorbet

Evo mene sa prvom recenzijom rumenila na blogu. Pronjuškala sam ostale blogove i portale u potrazi za informacijama koje bi  recenzija rumenila trebala sadržavati, naoružala se istima i sada sam spremna ;)


Here is the first blush review on this blog. I have been searching blogs and beauty web pages for information that one blush review should contain, and now I'm ready ;)


Otkako je Catrice, kao i Essence, obnovio svoj asortiman, poprimili su dosta pohvala, naročito na račun svojih rumenila i sjenila, dok su se formule lakova, kako mi se čini, pogoršale :/  Bilo kako bilo, dok sam prekopavala svoju kutiju sa proizvodima za lice ( koja je od sinoć zvanično podijeljena na dvije, jer se brojka popela na 10 rumenila i bronzera ), primjetila sam da imam samo 4 rumenila, i to nijedno breskvasto. Tako je ova ljepota dospjela u moje ruke.


Since Catrice, along with Essence, supplemented their makeup selection, they got many positive critics for blushes and eyeshadows, but formula of their polishes went worse :/ Anyway, while I was digging my box of face products ( which, btw, officially divided into two boxes last night, because number of blushes and bronzers went up to 10 ), I noticed I have only four blushes, and none of peachy ones. That's how this beauty got into my hands.

Krenimo od pakovanja. Pravougaonog je oblika i načinjeno je od prozirne plastike, koja je jako čvrsta, ali ne i previše lagana, tako da nema straha od lomljenja u skučaju da ga ispustite ( za razliku od njihovih prethodnih rumenila ). Sviđa mi se jer lako možete vidjeti nijansu, bez da se pitate da li ste provjeravali pogrešan tester. Podsjeća me na pakovanje shu uemura proizvoda, a "otisak" na samom rumenilu te količinski odnos između dvije nijanse je jako sličan onome kod Dior rumenila. Prosudite i sami.


Let's start with packaging. It's rectangle-shaped and made from transparent plastic, that is very solid, but not too light-weighted, so you don't have to worry about breaking it if you accidentally drop it. I like it because you can easily see the actual product, without thinking you have checked the wrong tester. It reminds me of shu uemura packaging, and "print" on surface of the blush, just like quantitative ratio between two shades is similar to ones of Dior blushes. Judge by yourself:

Cijena je sasvim realna, 7.95 KM (4€, 30 kn, 6 $). Dobijete 5 g proizvoda što mislim da bi uz svakodnevno korištenje potrajalo 6 mjeseci, ako ne i više.  Za usporedbu, Bourjois rumenila sadrže 2,5 g za 17 KM. Rok trajanja je 24 mjeseca iliti 2 godine od otvaranja.


The price is realistic - 4 € / 6 $. You get 5 g, and I think it should last minimum 6 months (if not longer) with everyday use. Just for comparision, Bourjois blushes cost 13$ / 7.5 € and contain 2.5 g of product. Expiration date is 24 months or 2 years after opening.


Dolazi u četiri kombinacije, a sve ih možete vidjeti ovdje.


It's available in four combinations, all of them you can check here.

Ovo rumenilo sadrži dvije breskvaste nijanse, svjetliju i tamniju. Iako sam na blogovima čitala da je mat, nikako se sa tim ne bih složila. Obje nijanse imaju zlatne mikrošimere, koji daju baš lijep svilenkast sjaj. Sasvim je solidno pigmentirano, što nisam očekivala, jer su prethodna Catrice rumenila bila katastrofa po tom pitanju, kao i npr. Rimmelova rumenila koja su u cjenovnom rangu sa Catrice-om. Nisu toliko pigmentirana kao Artdeco rumenila (koja su me razmazila :D ), ali od onih koje sam probala teksturom i efektom su njima najsličniji. Nije pretvrdo da morate strugati po površini niti premekano da izgledate kao klaun i da završite sa mrvicama rumenila po odjeći ili na stolu. Tekstura je baš taman :)


This blush is combination of two peachy shades, lighter and darker. Although I read that this has matte finish on few blogs, I definitely don't agree. It contains gold microshimmers, which give silky glow. It's pigmented just enough, and I haven' expected it because their old blushes were terrible in that category, just like Rimmel ones that cost the same. They are not as much pigmented as Artdeco blushes, but they are most similar to them with texture and effect. It's not too hard you have to scrape it off, but it's not too soft so you won't end with blush crumb+s on your clothes and all around.


Peach Sorbet je jedno od najuniverzalnijih rumenila koje ćete naći. Ide uz sve - nude makeup, smokey eyes, pin up (iako tada volim koristiti nešto jača rumenila), i mislim da će pristajati svim podtonovima i nijansama kože od svijetle do tamnije srednje. Na licu nije prenarandžasto, pa zato izgleda itekako prirodno. Izuzetno se lako blenda i nema straha da ćete izgledati kao da vas je neko opalio ciglom po licu i ostavio vam ružnu liniju od ušiju do usta :D Shimmer  nije prekrupan i ne izgleda prenapadno, već daje lijep sjaj licu i ne čini da se pretvorite u disko kuglu (kao i kod Essence highlightera).


Peach Sorbet is one of most universal blushes i own. It goes with everything - nude make up, smokey eyes, pin up look ( although I like to use brighter blushes then ), and I think it would suit all undertones and skin tones, from light, to dark medium. It's not too orange as peachy blushes tend to be, so it looks very, very natural on the skin. It blends easily so you won't look as if someone hit you with a brick and left you with a line from ears to mouth :D Shimmer is not to big and it doesn't look fake, but it gives subtle glow to your face and doesn't make you look like a disco ball ( just like Essence highlighter ).

Evo spiska sastojaka ako koga zanima:


Here is the list of ingredients, if someone is interested:


TALC, MICA, OCTYLDODECYL STEAROYL STEARATE, ISOSTEARYL NEOPENTANOATE, MAGNESIUM CARBONATE, ZINC STEARATE, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, MAY CONTAIN: CI 15850 (RED 7), CI 15985 (YELLOW 6 LAKE), CI 19140 (YELLOW 5 LAKE), CI 75470 (CARMINE), CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE).


Ne znam što još reći osim da biste trebali isprobati ovaj proizvod, posebno ako tražite klasične nijanse (nježno roza, jarko roza, breskvasta i smećkasta). Voljela bih da ih je još dostupno (ah, puste želje). Ako ste se opekli na stara Catrice rumenila, reći ću vam da su ova potpuno različita, naravno u pozitivnom smislu. Pomalo osjećam krivicu što pišem sve pozitivne recenzije, ali prije svake kupnje pronjuškam netom u potrazi za recenzijama i swatchevima, i zaista mislim sve što napišem. Sve proizvode kupila sam vlastitim novcem, niko me ne sponzorira tako da nemate razloga misliti da pišem pozitivno iz tog razloga. Najviše negativnih mišljenja imam u vezi pudera i maskara, pa ću se truditi da napišem više recenzija istih u narednih nekoliko sedmica.




I don't know what else to say except that you should try this blush if you're looking for one that offers classic shades (gentle rose, peachy, bright pink and brownish ones). I'd like Catrice to make more shades. If you were unhappy with their old blushes, I have to say that these are completely different, in positive way ofc. Somehow I feel guilty for writing all positive reviews, but before buying any products, I tent to read different reviews on Internet, and I really mean everything I write. All products I buy with my own money, noone sponsors me, so you have no reason to think I have any other reasons to write positive reviews than quality of the product itself. Most negative opinions are about foundations and mascaras, so I'll try to write more reviews of those in next few weeks. 


Hvala za čitanje :)
