Tags and awards

You're it-again!

Hello ladies! I wasn't planning on writing a tag/award post this time, but I'm in a quite cheerful mood, listening to Christmas songs and I saw that MarryJ had also tagged me and the tag euphoria prevailed. Since the Liebster award hasn't changed it's rules, I won't write them again, but you can read them here. Actually somebody changed it a bit, because now there are only 10 questions and originally there were 11, but it's not very important. Let's get started!

***

Pozdrav cure! Nisam planirala da pišem ovaj post o nagradicama i tagovima, ali sam u prilično veselom raspoloženju, slušam Božićne pesme i još sam videla da me je MarryJ takođe tagovala, paje na kraju tagerska euforija preovladala.
Liebster nagrade nisu promenila pravila, pa ih neću pisati ponovo, već ih možete pročitati ovde. Zapravo, neko je malčice izmenio pravila, jer je originalno bilo 11 pitanja, a sada je 10, ali to i nije od velikog značaja. Pa, da počnemo!

Thank you Lidija and Tanja for nominating me in this post! Here are the answers to your questions.

1. Straight or curly hair?
Depends on the mood, but since I'm naturally curly I'd go with curly.

2. Favorite fashion accessory?

Currently it's my Mum's watch and these two bracelets (photo is in the serbian section).

3. Favorite skincare product and why?
Micellar water (currently Bioderma) because it does wonders when removing make up!

4. Favorite travel destination?

Still London or UK in general. I've set my mind on visiting a bunch of places and I won't settle down until I've seen them all.

5. Do you have a hobby and what is it?
Ummm... blogging? Yeah, that's a hobby.

6. Favorite book?
Oh nooooo! I have many favorites! Any book that makes me cry is my favorite :) If it has to be one, then- A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

7. Favorite food and treat?
I eat almost everything, so it's better to ask me what I don't like. :) As for the treat, lets say it's Reese's cups.

8. Winter or summer travels?

Ummm... Doesn't really matter as long as it's traveling :)

9. How did you chose the name for your blog?
I wrote every idea, word or phrase that I could think of and after a few days of writing, I sat down and chose one (considering length, easy to remember, sound, etc.)

10. Message or advice to fellow bloggers?

If it's not a good quality post (photos and text) don't post it at all.

Zahvaljujem se Lidiji i Tanji na nominaciji u ovom postu! Evo i odgovora na vaša pitanja.

1. Ravna kosa ili lokne?

Zavisi od raspoloženja, no s obzirom da sam prirodno kovrdžava, odabraću lokne. 
2. Omiljeni modni dodatak?

Trenutno mamin sat i ove dve narukvice.

3. Najdraži preparativni proizvod i zašto?

Micelarna vodica (trenutno Bioderma), jer čini čuda u skidanju šminke! 
4. Omiljena putna destinacija?

Još uvek London i Velika Britanija uopšte. Zacrtala sam sebi da ću posetiti gomilu mesta i neću se smiriti dok ih sva ne posetim. 
5. Imaš li hobi i koji?

Paaaa... blogovanje? Da, i to je valjda hobi. 
6. Omiljena knjiga?

O neeeee! Imam mnogo favorita! Svaka knjiga koja me rasplače mi je omiljena. :) Ako baš mora da bude jedna, onda neka bude Hiljadu Čudesnih Sunaca, Haled Hoseini. 
7. Omiljena hrana i poslastica?

Jedem skoro sve, pa je bolje pitati me šta ne volim. :) Što se tiče poslastica, neka budu Reeses cups. 
8. Zimovanje ili letovanje?

Nije bitno, dok god se putuje. :) 
9. Kako si odabrala ime za blog?

Zapisala svaku ideju, reč i frazu koje sam mogla da se setim na papir i nakon nekoliko dana zapisivanja, sela sam i odabrala naziv (uzimajući u obzir dužinu, koliko lako se pamti, zvučnost, itd.) 
10. Poruka ili savet blogokoleginicama!

Ako nije kvalitetan post (slike i tekst), ne objavljujte.

I would also like to thank the casual princess on her nomination in this post! The answers to her questions are below.

1. Is there a product you can't leave the house without?
No actually.

2. If you had the option of shopping at MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life, which would you chose?

Sephora, but I'm not happy about it, because none of these are cruelty free.

3. Do you buy make up from websites like kupindo, kupujemprodajem (english versions of ebay)?
Rarely.

4. Would you rather leave the house with too much foundation or eyebrows that are too dark?
Too much foundation, because I can always use a wet wipe or tissue and take off the excess, while the eyebrows are a bit harder to fix.

5. Your favorite affordable mascara?
I have two: Oriflame Wonder Lash or Golden Rose City Style.

6. Which is the best cosmetics brand in your opinion?
I don't think there is one.

7. What do you drink when you go out with friends?
What don't I drink? :D Mostly beer or red wine.

8. The last person that kissed you is...?
Filip, a friend. Goodbye kiss one the cheek.

9. What is the cheapest and most expensive product that you have?

Cheapest-probaby Golden Rose City Style Mascara and most expensive-Bioderma micellar water (I'm writing about the products I have here with me in China).

10. What would you really like to get for New Years Eve?
Company here where I am.

Takođe želim da se zahvalim casual princess na nominaciji u ovom postu! Odgovori na njena pitanja se nalaze ispod.

1. Bez čega ne možete da izađete iz kuće?(neki produkt)
Nema takvog.
2. Kada biste imali opciju da do kraja života kupujete samo u MACu ili SEPHORI, šta biste izabrali?
Sephora, mada me ni jedna od ovih opcija ne raduje, jer nisu cruelty free.
3. Da li kupujete kozmetiku na sajtovima poput kupinda, kupujemprodajem i sl.?
Retko.
4. Da li biste pre izašli iz kuće sa previše i neizblendovanog pudera ili sa prejakim obrvama?
Previše pudera, jer višak uvek mogu da skinem vlažnom ili običnom papirnom maramicom, dok su obrve teže za popraviti.
5. Vaša omiljena pristupačna maskara?
Imam dve-Oriflame Wonder Lash i Golden Rose City Style.
6. Po Vašem mišljenju, koji je najbolji kozmetički brend?
Mislim da takav ne postoji.
7. Šta pijete kada uveče izađete sa društvom?
A šta ne pijem? :D Uglavnom pivo ili crveno vino.
8. Poslednja osoba koja Vas je poljubila je..?
Filip, drugar. Poljubac u obraz pred odlazak.
9. Koji je Vaš najeftiniji, a koji najskuplji kozmetički proizvod?
Najjeftiniji-Golden Rose City Style maskara, a najskuplji-Bioderma micelarna (govorim o proizvodima koje imam kod sebe trenutno u Kini).
10. Šta biste najviše voleli da dobijete za Novu godinu?
Društvo tu gde sam.

I also want to thank Monoklica for nominating me in her post, too. Thank you!

1. How did you decide to make your own blog and when?
I was sick and had nothing to do, so I wrote my impressions of Oriflame make up brushes on ana.rs forum, and a friend contacted me and asked me why don't I make a blog. At first I didn't want to, but after a few days I was so bored that I considered it and after the first very nervous post-I began to like it!
2. What do you like most about blogging?
Honestly? Making the posts and the feedback from my readers. Comments make me extremely happy.
3. Is there a number of posts you try to do every month?
Ten at least.
4. Do you look at what other bloggers write or do you write by your own discretion?
If I see something that another blogger does that I think is good, I keep it in mind but don't necessarily apply it to my own style.
5. What are, in your opinion, the ways to gain credibility?
 Sometimes I think you just have to be THAT kind of person and if you're not, you'll never have credibility. Posting regularly, writing honestly, no sponsored reviews, less PR products (they tend to make people think you're selling out, no matter how many times you say you're not), etc.
6. Do you read one topic oriented blogs or mix and match ones?
A bit of this and that, but I like to stick to one topic-cosmetics, except if the author writes very interesting non-cosmetics related posts (which is so rare).
7. Have you been to a blogger gathering and do you like that type of gatherings?
No. I don't have a specific opinion on those.
8. How much time does it take for you to prepare a blog post?
If my photos are taken, then it takes me around one hour to write the text and retouch the photos. If not, then it can take even a few days.
9. Since you've started blogging, do you buy more products or accumulate them?
None, even the opposite! Since I've started blogging, I've used more products and every buy happens only after I think it through and I'm sure it is necessary.
10. How often do you grant wishes for your readers?
Honestly? Never. I remember the requests, but I don't go off and running to write the requested. It is my blog after all...

Takođe želim da se zahvalim Monoklici na nominaciji u njenom postu. Hvala!

1. Kako ste se odlučile da pokrenete svoj blog i kada?
 Bila sam bolesna i nisam imala šta da radim, pa sam napisala svoje utiske o Oriflame četkicama na ana.rs forumu i javila mi se jedna drugarica i pitala zašto ja ne pišem blog. U početku nisam bila zainteresovana, ali mi je nakon nekoliko dana postalo toliko dosadno da sam počela ds razmišljam o tome i nakon prvog nesigurnog posta počelo je da mi se dopada!
2. Šta vam se najviše dopada kod blogovanja?
Iskreno? Sam proces pravljenja postova i povratna informacija od čitalaca. Komentari me čine jako sretnom.
3. Koliko postova mesečno se trudite da postavite?
Barem deset.
4. Da li gledate šta rade i pišu druge blogerke ili pišete prema svom nahođenju?
Ako mi se svidi nešto što druga blogerka radi, upamtiću ali neću nužno primeniti.
5. Koji su, prema vašem mišljenju, načini da se stekne kredibilnost?
Ponekad mi se čini da jednostavno moraš da budeš TA osoba, i ako nisi, moguće je da tvoj blog nikada neće ni steći kredibilitet. Redovno i iskreno pisanje, bez sponzorisanih recenzija, manje PR proizvoda (oni znaju da ostave utisak kao da se prodajete, ma koliko vi govorili da to nije tako), itd.
6. Da li više čitate tematske blogove ili blogove koji pišu o svemu i svačemu?
Pomalo od oba, mada više volim kozmetičke blogove, ali ću pročitati i neki drugačiji, ako osoba piše na zanimljiv način (a takve je teško pronaći).
7. Da li ste bile na nekom blogookupljanju i da li vam takva druženja prijaju?
Ne. Nemam neko posebno mišljenje o istima.
8. Koliko vam vremena treba da pripremite jedan blog post?
Ako sam fotografisala sve, onda mi treba nekih sat vremena da napišem tekst i obradim fotke, ali ako nisu, može da potraje i par dana.
9. Da li više kupujete ili gomilate proizvode od kada vodite blog?
Ne, naprotiv! Od kad sam počela da pišem blog, više trošim proizvode i pre svake kupovine tri puta razmislim da li mi to zaista treba.
10. Koliko ispunjavate želje vašim čitaocima?
Iskreno? Nikad. Pamtim želje i zahteve ali ne trčim odmah da kucam post o tome. Ipak je ovo moj blog...

And now for the very cool Nail Obsession tag that I got from MarryJ! :) Thank you! See her post here.

1. What's your favorite nail polish brand?
Let's say it's OPI, even though I only have a few of them.

2. Glitter, yes or no?

Yes but only to look at, because removing it is a nightmare!

3. When do you remove your nail polish?

There's no specific day. 3-4 times a week tops.

4. What is the favorite color of your nails?

Any coral shade will do.

5. Dark or light nail polish shades?

Currently I'd go with light.

6. Which nail polish do you currently have on your nails?
My very first OPI, called My Very First Knockwurst.

7. Matte nails, in our out?

Definitely in, even though I don't wear them very often.

8. French manicure?
No! Old! Out! Looks very clean but boring.

9. Favorite winter and summer color?
Red for winter and pink for summer, if I have to chose. :p

10. How many nail polish bottles do you have?

Not a lot. Here in China I have only 14 because I couldn't take 'em all, but at home I have maybe 60-70.

11. Which brand nail polishes do you have most in your collection?

Currently OPI's, but overall Golden Rose.

12. What is the most frequent color in your collection?
Fuchsia pink.

13. Are there any colors and finishes that you don't have in your collection?
Of course there are! I sure hope so, otherwise it would be a boring polishaholic life :D

14. Is there a nail polish you're wondering why you haven't thrown away yet?

Haha! About half of my collection back home! Seriously. There are many Golden Rose protein polish bottles that are way to old but I keep them just because my collection is more colorful that way.

A sada prelazimo na veoma zanimljiv nail obsession tag, za koji me je odabrala MarryJ! :) Hvala ti! Pogledajte njen post ovde.

1. Koja je tvoja omiljena marka lakova?

Hajde da kažemo da je OPI, iako ih nemam mnogo.

2. Glitter, da ili ne?

Da, ali samo za gledanje, jer je skidanje istog prava noćna mora!

3. Kada menjaš lak na noktima?

Ne postoji određeni dan. 3-4 puta nedeljno maksimalno.

4. Koja je tvoja omiljena boja na noktima?

Bilo koja koralna će biti dobra.

5. Tamni ili svetli lakovi?
Trenutno su to svetli.

6. Koji lak imaš na noktima u ovom trenutku?

Moj prvi OPIć, zove se My Very First Knockwurst.

7. Mat nokti, in ili out?

Definitivno in, mada ih ja ne nosim često.

8. Frenč manikir?

Ne! Staro. Aut. Nokti izgledaju čisto, ali dosadno.

9. Omiljena zimska i letnja boja?

Crvena za zimu, roze za leto, ako moram da biram. :p

10. Koliko lakova imaš?

Ne puno. Ovde u Kini imam svega 14 komada, jer nisam mogla da ponesem sve, a ukupno kod kuće imam možda 60-70.

11. Od kog brenda imaš najviše lakova u kolekciji?

Trenutno u Kini su to OPI lakovi, a inače Golden Rose.

12. Koja boja je najčešća u tvojoj kolekciji?

Roze boja fuksije.

13. Da li postoje boje i finiši koje nemaš u kolekciji?

Naravno da postoje! Iskreno se nada da postoje, jer bi u suprotnom bio veoma dosadan lakoholičarski život.

14. Za koji lak se pitaš zašto ga još nisi bacila? :D

Haha! Odprilike pola moje kolekcije kod kuće! Ozbiljno. Imam dosta onih Golden Rose protein lakova, koji su prastari, aliih čuvam samo zato što mi ovako kolekcija izgleda šarenije.
