Cred ca unul din pasii importanti dupa curatarea tenului ste hidratarea acestuia, iar eu prefer produsele naturale si organice.  Seara fie folosesc o crema extrm de hidratanta sau uleiuri de argan, jojoba, cocos dar dimineata nu pot face acelasi lucru. Desi am ten gras acesta tinde sa fie mai mereu deshidratat, asa ca si dimineata crema pe care o folosesc trebuie sa fie destul de hidratanta, dar cu o textura destul de lejera  potrivita tipului meu de ten.

___________________________________________

I think that one of the important steps after cleansing the face is moisturizing it, and I prefer natural and organic products . At night I either use a very hydrating cream or oils like jojoba, argan or coconut, but i can't do that in the morning. Although I have oily skin, it tends to be more on the dehydrated side, so in the morning the cream that I use has to be really hydrating, but also quite light in texture to suit my skin type.

Acum ceva timp am primit pentru testare uleiul de cocos de la mayam si un ulei de brocoli cadou de la elemental.ro. Despre cel de brocoli nu stiu sava spu nimic inca, insa despre cel de cocos am cateva cuvinte sa va spun. Stiti bine ca mie imi place extrem de mult sa folosesc ulei de cocos, are numeroase utilizari si beneficii, atat pentru pielea noastra, dar si pentru par. Folosesc ulei de cocos foarte des, de fapt zilnic, fie ca il folosesc pentru indepartarea machiajului, ca masca pentru par, pe gene, pe corp si in mai cie stie ce moduri.

Totusi cel mai important aspect este ca uleiul de cocos sa fie natural si presat la rece. Nu stiu daca v-am mai spus pana acum cum recunoastem un ulei de cocos pur, dar am sa va spun pe scurt care sunt principalele elemente de luat in cosiderare. In primu rand culoarea acestia trebui sa ffie perfecct transaparenta cat timp este lichid si alb ca zapada cand este solid. irosu acestuia trebui sa fie acel miros pplacut de cocos, dar nu prea slaab si nici prea tare. I cazul unui ulei de cocos ppetru uz intern voom testa si gustu, dar aici nu e cazul.

Uleiul de cocos de la Mayam m-a surprins  placut prin clitatea sa exceptionala, uleiul fiind foarte bunn si indeplinind cerintele unui ulei de cocos de calitatate superioara. Borcanelul este de plastic si se iinchidedestul de bine, insa as fi preferat poate altfel de capac, insa apreciez ca acesta nu curge. Uleiul functioneaza perfect, deci nu am nici un aspect negativ de mentionat.

Pentru mai multe utilizari ale uleiului de cocos si pentru a afla ce probleme ale pielii pot fi remediate cu ajutorul uleiului decocos va invit sa cititi postarea de aici.

E deja a patra luna in care astept nerabdatoare cutiuta rosie de la Pick N Dazzle, iar de data aceasta am fost surprinsa de produsele din cutiuta, unul dintre ele fiind mai mult decat bine venit pentru ca voiam de ceva timp sa incerc un produs de acest gen, totusi pe masura ce voi inainta in descrierea produselor veti afla si care a fost prima mea impresie a unora dintre ele.

Sa incepem cu produsul care m-a surprins foarte placut in momentul in care l-am vazut in cutiuta si anume Teeez Spoiled Rich Eyebrow Cream. De ceva tmp ma tot gandeam sa imi cumpar Brow Pomade de la Anastasia, dar se pare ca am primit un produs asemanator in cutie si nu pot decat sa ma bucur. Sincera sa fiu produsele Teez sunt cele care ma entuziasmeaza in mod deosbit, sunt diferite si pot sa spun multe dintre ele mi-au placut chiar mult si am sa va povestesc foarte curand despre ele. Culoarea produsului este foarte buna petru mine, iar cand l-am incercat ieri mi-a placut efectul si a rezistat ok, dar inca nu ma pot pronunta in totalitate, asa ca voi reveni cu mai multe detalii dupa ce il voi testa o perioada mai lunga.

_____________________________________

It's already the forth month that I am eagerly waiting for y red box from Pick N Dazzle, and this time I was surprised of the products and one of the was really happily welcomed in my collection as I wanted to try this type of product for a very long time, also as I go through the products I will tell what my first impression of the product was.

Let's start with the most exciting one, the one that made me so happy seeing it in the box, Teeez Spoiled Rich Eyebrow Cream. For a while I wanted to buy the Anastasia Brow Pomade and now it seems that I received a similar product. To be honest the Teez makeup products are th ones that excite me the most and I liked a lot of the ones that I tried and I will soon tell you more about it. The product's colour is really nice for me and i liked the effect it gave and also how it lasted the first time I applied it but I have to test it a bit more to be sure.

_____________________________________

The second product is perfume from Guess, Seductive. I wasn't sure that I was going to like this one but I do and it is very different from everything that I use and I think it is very suitable for nighttime. 

_____________________________________

The micellar lotion from Bottega di Lunga Vita has to wait a bit because i don't like having too many products of the same kind opened and right now I am using the Ivatherm one. I am very enthusiastic for this one though as I love the brand , all the products received by far were of really good quality.

_____________________________________

The last product is a face cream from Abelie. The description of this one sounds so damn good, but there was something that bothered me here. I am usually a nice person, but this is the fourth face cream in 4 months and this actually bothered me a lot. I don't know why and most of all at the last feedback survey I asked for an eyecream because that is what I actually need. The product sounds lovely but I have no idea when I will use it since I already have that amount of face cream. It's 30 ml, all organic, how could I not love it? But I was already pissed off by the third face cream, but I got over it because I really wanted to try that one out, but this time it's not the case.

Desi folosesc des uleiul de cocos pentru a ma demachia uneori prefer o lotiune micelara pentru a indeparta machiajul si impuritatile inainte de curatarea propriu-zisa a tenului. Am incercat cateva pana acum si pot sa spun ca mi-am gasit preferatele, iar cea pe care o voi prezenta astazi este una dintre ele.

Am mai testat lotiunea micelara de la Ivatherm si acum ceva timp, dar apoi am tot testat altele si nu am mai recumparat-o, totusi la meetingul bloggerior din Timisoara am primit din nou aceasta lotiune micelara si mi-am adus aminte de ce am considerat-o una dintre cele mai bune.

______________________________

Even though I use coconut oil to remove my makeup quite often sometimes I prefer a micellar lotion to remove my makeup and impurities before the proper cleanse of the skin. I tried a few ones till now and this one I can say i found my favourites and this is one of them.

I have tested this before but I also tested a few more afterwards and kind of forgot to buy it again, and at the bloggers meeting I have received this again and I was reminded why I loved it so much and thought it was one of the best.

______________________________

The concept is already know by everyone, the micellar lotions, they got really popular in the las few years and every skincare brand tends to come with their one on the market and at the end of the day we might actually think they are all the same, so, what makes this one different? Well the fact that it removes the makeup so well, the eye makeup (i am not talking about waterproof makeup here) and also the face makeup, taking off most of the foundation and impurities on the skin. There is something more to it, some of the micellar lotions tend to leave a sort of residue o the skin, a not very pleasant sensation and I did had this problem with one that I tried, I don't remember which one though. This one leaves the skin feeling clean even though I will follow with my normal cleansing routine after it. I like the fact that it simplifies my "work" at getting y makeup and it does it quite fast, so when I want to get it all off this is my option.

What lotion do you use? Or better said, what do you use to remove your makeup?

KISSES,

Pana acum toate ideile de manichiura prezentate pe mine pe blog au fost in tonuri de nude si roz, astazi m-am gandit sa fac ceva diferit. Am ales doua nuante de verde pentru a crea o maichiura draguta de primavara, iar pe mine ma binedispune combinatia lor. Nu se putea sa nu am un mic detaliu de arabesque, dar am completat si cu o libelula draguta pe unghia inelarului.

__________________________________

Until now all of the nail art ideas on the blog were nudes and pinks combinations, so today I thought I might do something different. I chose two lovely shades of green to create this perfect spring manicure, and this color combinations makes me really cheerful. i couldn't not include a little bit of an arabesque detail, but i added  cute dragonfly on the ring finger nail.

Ojele folosite sunt de la Avon (deja stiti cat de mult imi plac), pentru baza am folosit Nailwear Pro+ in Sea Breeze , iar pentru model Teal Glitter din colectia Stardust.

_______________________________

The polishes used are from Avon(you already know how much I love them), for my base I used Nailwear Pro+ in Sea Breeze , and for the design Teal Glitter from the Stardust collection.

Ce credeti despre aceasta manichiura? Voi ce purtati pe unghii acum la inceput de primavara?

Parul a fost intotdeauna partea mea preferata la mine, si pentru o perioada poate singura despre care puteam sa spun ca imi place. Au trecut ani buni si multe schimbari au avut loc, de culoare, dar si de lungime. Acum vreo 2 ani parul meu ajungea undeva pe la linia soldurilor si a trecut prin numeroase schimbari de culoare, de a satenul natural pana la blond ombre, brunet, rosct, caramel, iar acum e un saten cu usoare reflexii roscate de care vreau sa scap cat mai curand.

Ce am invatat eu din toate aceste scimbari e cum sa am grija de parul meu pentru a-l mentine frumos si sanatos chiar daca trece prin numeroase schimbari nu tocmai placute, iar astazi am sa va povestesc care sunt pasii pentru a intretine parul si pentru a-l face sa creasca mult mai repede.

M-am tuns din nou acum cateva luni, iar acum astept sa-mi creasca parul pentru ca m-am saturat de lungimea la care e acum si mi-e dor de parul lung avut la un moment dat. Acum sa incepem cu rutina de ingrijire, iar apoi am sa va spun care sunt mastile si tratamentele pe care le recomand pentru un par sanatos.

Incep prin spalarea parului, pe care eu o fac la fiecare 2 zile, as prefera mai rar daca s-ar putea, insa parul meu nu prea e de acord cu mine aici. samponul pe care il folosesc este cel pentru volum de la Alverde, e fara sulfati si numai din ingrediente naturale, asa ca il recomand daca aveti scalp sensibil si nu numai. Un altul pe care il iubesc, dar il gasesc foarte greu este cel de la dr Organics, cu ulei de cocos, e genial, iar daca aveti sansa sa dati de el incercati-l! In ultimul timp nu prea mai folosesc balsam de par, insa cum eu tind sa folosesc mai multe produse naturale, folosesc o masca cu caise de la Alverde o data pe saptamana, sunt in cautarea unui bun si natural (recomandari in comentarii va rog, sunt curioasa voi ce folositi). Parul meu este mereu lasat sa se usuce natural, iar eu va recomand sa faceti acelasi lucru, iar dupa ce partial l-am uscat cu prosopul aplic putin ulei de cocos sau de argan pentru hidratare si protectie. Nu prea mai folosesc ondulatorul, ceea ce din nou imi ajuta parul foarte mult.

My hair was always one of my favourite parts about me, and for a while it was the only one that I  actually liked. It's been years and years and things have changed, the colour, the length too. Two years ago my hair was reaching my hip line and it has been since then through various colors, from my natural brown hair to blonde ombre, caramel, dark brown almost brunette, ad even red and now it's brown with some red reflexes.

What I learned after all these changes is how to take care of my hair to keep it pretty and healthy even if it wasn't treated the best with all the dying and today I am going to share my main tips with you.

I got my hair cut shorter a few moths ago and now I wait for it to grow back because I got tired of this length and the way it looks and I miss the long hair I once had. ow let's head in the haircare routine and my tips for growing healthy hair.

I start by washing my hair, i do that every two days, i would prefer to do it at about 3 to 4 days but my hair doesn't want to cope with me on that one. I use the Alverde shampoo for volume, it's sulfate free and all natural, so I highly recommend it for sensitive scalp and not only. Another one that I love but I can't find all the time is the dr Organics Coconut oil shampoo which is amazing and if you ca find it, try it. Lately I haven't been using conditioner but I do use the apricot mask from Alverde once a week, also I am looking for a good conditioner, natural (any recommendations in the comments please!). My hair is always air drying and i also recommend this to everyone, it makes such a big difference, and after it has partially dried I  apply some coconut oil or argan oil for more hydration and protection. I don't often use heat on my hair either, which again helps a lot at keeping it healthy.

Ce tratamente recomand? Pentru cele care vor sa-si hidrateze bine parul cel mai bun tratament pe care il pot recomanda este sa aplicati ulei de cocos sau de aragan in par seara si sa dormiti cu el, spaland parul a doua zi. Eu mai fac asta in weekend cand stiu ca am zile in care nu plec de acasa, sau plec abia seara, iar parul meu e foarte bucuros de alegerea mea.


What treatments do I recommend? For the ones that want to hydrate their hair the best treatment that I can recommend is to apply coconut or argan oil and leave it in for the night and wash it the next day. I sometimes do this in over the weekend when I know that i am not going anywhere, and my hair love it.

Vreti sa va deschideti parul la culoare? Poate putin? Stiti ca puteti face asta si natural? In primul rand va avertizez ca u trebuie sa va asteptati la ceva drastic si la o deschidere subtila si tonuri aurii in par. Cum? Amestecati o lingurita de miere cu ulei de masline si zeama de lamaie. Lasati o jumatate de ora la frigider, iar apoi aplicati-o pe par si lasati cat de mult timp puteti, intre o ora si 3 sau 4. Parul nu este afectat de peroxidul care se formeaza prin compunerea acestor ingrediente atat de tare, iar deschiderea parului va fi subtila, iar procesul trebuie repetat pentru ase obtine efecte mai intense. Eu faceam asta in special cand aveam parul mai spre blond pentru a-mi mentine un usor degrade in par. partea buna e ca dupa acest tratament parul se simte si arata minunat.

De asemenea uleiul de migdale e foarte bun pentru par si e o alternativa celorlalte mentionate de mine mai sus. Eu nu prea mai folosesc masti din comert si prefer sa le fac mereu pe ale mele, naturale si cu ingrediente stabilite in functie de nevoile parului meu. Uleiurile folosite sunt in general cele de la Solaris pentru ca imi place foarte mult calitatea lor.

Voi ce folositi pentru ingrijirea parului vostru?


Do you want to lighten up your hair? Maybe a little? Do you know that you can do it naturally? First of all I warn you that you shouldn't expect a very dramatic result, just something subtle, golden tone sin the hair. How? Mix in a tea spoon of honey  with olive oil and some lemon and leave it in the fridge for half an hour. Apply the mixture on the hair and leave it between 1 to 4 hours. The hair is nt damaged by the peroxide formed by the ingredients, because it is very gentle, the change will be subtle and the process has to be repeated in order to see a very big difference. I used to do this a lot when i had more blonde hair. The good thing is that after this mask the hair looks and feels awesome.

Also almond oil is great for the hair and it is an alternative to the other oils mentioned. I don't use masks from stores anymore, i prefer to make my own considering what my hair needs.

What do you use to take care of your hair?

Buna! 

E adevarat ca revin cu intarziere, dar din cauza timpului si a unor probleme tehnice nu am putut sa fac extragerea mai repede. Extragerea am facut-o chiar acum la 12, si am realizat si o mica filmare,dar normal ca mica aplicatie s-a gandit sa faca figuri si nu stiu exact de unde au aparut micile probleme, mai devreme pe timpul zilei cand am descarcat-o functiona bine.

Ca sa nu va mai tin in suspans (nu ca nu o fac de vreo cateva zile) am sa va spun ca am gasit castigatoarea concursului cu cele trei uleiuri de la Solaris, iar aceasta este Ramona Maria. Draga mea, felicitari si sper sa te bucuri de ele si sa le folosesti cu drag! Cat despre restul participantelor,dragelor, curand va pregatesc noi surprize pentru ca vreau sava rasplatesc pentru ca ma cititi defiecre data, asa ca ramaneti aproape, hihi.

(Am sa incarc si varianta video, reparata sper; filmarea am facut-o cu CamStudio, dar din ceva motiv suspect exista niste momente in care ecranul e negru partial, daca-l fac frumos vi-l incarc si pe acela,dar nu vreau sa prelungesc momentul si mai mult)

Better Than Sex Mascara, cand auzi numele asta te astepti la ceva extraordinar, nu? Too Faced e recunoscut pentru numele simpatice si unele usor mai indraznete, dar care nu fac decat sa atraga atentia sper produsele lor, unele extraordinare, trebuie sa recunosc.

Genele sunt pentru mine unul dintre elementele de focus cand vine vorba de machiaj sau de lipsa lui. Imi place sa am gene foarte lungi indiferent de cat de mult machiaj port, de fapt, pot sa n-am deloc, dar eu trebuie sa am gene lungi. Eu am o versiune mini a acestui rimel, primita intr-un kit simpatic (prezentat aici cu primele impresii). Totusi de ce revin cu un review dupa primele impresii de atunci? Pentru ca parerea mea s-a schimbat putin, la fel si tehnica de aplicare, si am ajuns la o alta concluzie.

EN:

Better Than Sex Mascara, when you hear this name you expect something extraordinary, right? Too Faced is known for they cute names and even for the more inappropiate ones, and they only bring more atention to their products.

Lashes are one of the focus elements when it comes to makeup or the lack of it. I like haveing really long lashes no matter how much makeup I wear, and actually, I can have no makeup but I have to have long lashes, I have a mini version of this mascara, that I got in a really cute kit (i showed it here with the first impressions). Still why am I here with a review after those first impressions? My oppinion changed a bit, and also the way I apply it and I cam to a different conclusion.

Initial nu mi se parea incredibil cum il lauda toata lumea si l-am aruncat intr-un colt, pana de curand cand am decis sa renunt la rimelul waterproof din diverse motive. Am decis sa nu il las sa se iroseasca, ci sa il folosesc. Asa ce de cateva saptamani incoace Better Than Sex e unul din rimelurile preferate. De ce? Pentru ca ofera foarte mult volum, ofera si alungire, dar volumul pe care il ofera e cel care da impact privirii. Totusi de ce acum imi place si inainte nu imi placea? Am descoperit cum sa il aplic.

In primul rand va recomand ca inainte de aplicare, si de preferat ar fi sa faceti asta cu orice mascara, este sa eliminati excesul de mascara de pe perie, de cele mai multe ori pe ea e mai mult decat este nevoie. Aplicarea o fac de la baza genelor, iar apoi doar pe partea superioara. Aplic un strat generos, iar apoi il las sa se usuce. Inainte de asta mi-am curbat genele cu clestisorul. Dupa uscare, timp in care mi-am facut sprancele sau eu stiu ce, ma intorc la gene, le mai curbez odata si mai aplic un strat. In general doua straturi sunt indeajuns pentru a-mi oferi gene frumoase, lungi si dese. Tehnica asta imi ofera un aspect foarte placut al genelor si de asemenea am observat si ca aceasta mascara mentine curbura destul de ok fata de altele pe care le am.

EN:
Initially I thought it was not that awesome and I thre it on some corner and just left it there. Recently I decided to pu aside my waterproof mascara for various reasons. I decided it would be a shame to let it go to waste so I started using it. So for a few weeks Better Than Sex Mascara has been my favourite one. Why? Because it give me so much volume, some lenght too, but the volume is what gives such high impact. So why I didn't like it at first and bnow I do? I found out how to apply it.

First of all I would highly recommend that before applying the mascara, wipe the excess on the brush, most of the times you'll see that there is too much product on so that's why it get's clumpy. I start the application at the root of the lashes and then I ounly bulid up the lenghts. I apply I good cost and then let it dry. I have previously curled my lashes with an eyelash curler. After it's all dry, meanwhile i've done my eyebrows or something, I curl the lashes again and then I apply another coat of mascara, let it dry and curl again. Usually the two coats give mea really thick and long lashes and the curls is held pretty well compared to other mascaras that I have.

Singurul lucru care nu imi place e pretul. E adevarat ca e un produs foarte ok, dar mi se pare cam scump si se pot obtine efecte asemanatoare si cu altele care nu sunt chiar atat de scumpe. Insa daca va doriti sa va luati un rimel bun si nu va deranjeaza pretul sau pot sa spun ca ofera un efect placut privirii, iar eu il folsesc cu drag, sper sa ma mai tina o perioada.

EN:
The only thing that I don't really like is the price. It's true is a very good product, but I think it is a bit expensive and you can get similar effects with other mascaras at a smaller price, But if you do wabnt a good mascara and you don't mind the price all I can say is that it gives a beautiful effect to our eyes and I really enjoy using it, I hope it will last me a while.

Voi l-ati incercat? Care este mascara voastra preferata?
Have you tried it? Which is your favourite mascara?

Saptamana trecuta am participat pentru prima data la un eveniment care aducea impreuna bloggeri de beauty din Timisoara. Din momentul in care primisem invitatia, recunosc, ca eram destul de nerabdatoare. Totusi, eu nu le cunosteam pe fete, unora dintre ele le stiam bloggurile si le citeam cu drag, dar cam atat, iar acum a am avut ocazia sa le cunosc pe fete si mi-a facut cu adevarat o mare placere, desi caracteristic mie am fost putin mai timida si mai tacuta. Lucia a facut o treaba minunata cu organizarea, iar intalnirea noastra a inceput cu o demonstratie de machiaj a Ameliei Perjescu. 

Astfel am mai furat putin din tehnica de machiaj si de asemenea cateva ponturi. Mereu mi-a placut sa vad o sedinta de machiaj executata bine, si pot sa spun ca rezultatul a fost unul foarte frumos si de asemenea explicatiile make-up artistului au fost mai mult decat utile. Machuajul modelului, in tonuri de albastru a fost chiar interesant si mai special, iar tehnica folosita a fost chiar interesanta si nu stiam nimic despre ea pana atunci.

KISSES,

ANDREEA

Draga mea Ramona m-a etichetat si pe mine pentru a completa acest set simpatic de intrebari. Adevarul e ca folosesc mult mai multe produse drugstore decat high-end, desi am si cateva din spectrul acela de preturi mult mai mari si o presupusa calitate superioara, spun asta pentru ca veti vedea mai jos ca unele produse fie sunt la fel de bune, poate mai bune.

1.What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand overall?

E greu sa iau aici o decizie, pentru ca sunt brand-uri de la care imi plac doar anumite tipuri de produse, sau nu am incercat destule. Cele mai multe produse probabil ca le am de la Essence, sunt ieftine si sincer nu ti-e greu sa iti aduni un pumn de ele, iar fardurile de pleoape, rujurile si gloss-urile sunt chiar ok, ba chiar si blush-urile. Dar daca am nevoie de un brand care imi va oferi si o baza, poate am sa merg cu Rimmel, desi au destule produse pe care nu le suport, dar cred ca asta e valabil cam la orice brand.

It is hard to make a decision, becuase there are brands that I only like a few products from, or I haven't tried many. Probably I have the most from Essence as they are cheap and easy to get bunches, and honestly they have pretty good eyeshadows, lispticks and lipglosses. If I need a beand to provide me a base too, then I might go for Rimmel, even though they do have some products that I can't stand, but that applies to almost every brand.

2.What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?

Pai cand vine vorba de fond de ten, inca nu l-am gasit pe cel perfect, dar imi place destul de mult Rimmel Lasting Finnish. Desi textura si culoarea perfecta sunt inglobate in Accord Parfait de la L'oreal, acesta imi ofera rezistenta pe care nu o pot obtine cu un altul momentan. Un lucru e clar insa, la fond de ten sunt 3 lucruri esentiale, culoarea, tipul de ten si aplicarea, cea din urma fiind esentiala. Rimmel Lasting Finnish aplicat cum trebuie arata extrem de natural si are o acoperire chiar buna (daca vreti detalii la capitolul asta, let me know!). Pentru obraji, blush-ul meu de la Yves Rocher in Teint Clair Rose este perfect, iar pentru buze, desi sunt mai degraba fara produse in viata de zi cu zi am sa nominalizez gloss-urile XXXL longlasting de la Essence si Soft Matte Lipcream de la NYX.

Well, when t comes to foundation I hane not yet to find the perfect one, but I like the Rimmel Lasting Finnish quite a lot. Although the perfect texture and color are all wrapped into Accord Parfait for L'Oreal, this one offers me a better lasting power. One thing is clear, with foundation there are three things that are really imprtant, the color, the skin type and the application, the last one being essential. Rimmel Lasting Finnish applied in the best way gives a very nice natural finnish and a really good coverage(if you want more details, let me know). For my cheeks I love my blush from Yves Rocher in Teint Clair Rose and for my lips, even though I mostly wear nothing, I will go for XXXL longlasting from Essence and Soft Matte Lipcream from NYX.

3. Least favourite product?

Products I regret buying o sa va raspunda partial la aceasta intrebare, dar mai am si altele cum ar fi tota gama de mascara Rimmel Scandaleyes. Mie mi se par groaznice toate, atat ca formula cat si ca pensule, si consider ca sunt cum mult mai bune cele de la Maybelline sau L'Oreal.

Products I regret buying will answer this question but another mention will be the Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascaras (all of them). I think they are horrible both in formula and applicators and Maybelline and L'Oreal do much better ones.

4. What is the best makeup bargain?

 Cred ca am sa merg pe varianta de palete si blush-uri de la Sleek. Sa fiu sincera fardurile lor sunt incredibil de pigmentate si se comporta la fel de bine ca si cele de la Too Faced sau The Balm, iar nuantele sunt superbe.

I think I'll go for the Sleek eyeshadow palettes and blushes. To be honest their shadows are really pigmented and act quite similar to my Too Faced ones or The Balm, and the shades are beautiful.

5.What is your favourite underdog product?

Am stat putin sa ma gandesc aici. dar am sa va spun sincer ca exista niste mici palete cu numele de Ruby Rose, sunt foarte pigmentate si cam pe la maxim 5 lei, hai poate ma mult daca sunt mult mai mari. Culorile sunt superbe, iar daca mai demult erau doar sidef si foarte shimmery, acum gasim si mate.

I had to think a bit more about this one, but there are these palettes caled Ruby Rose that are extremly cheap and they have amazing colors with great pigmentation, and now they can be found matte too, not only the shimmery ones.

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced.

Aici am sa vin spre un brand intreg si anume L'Oreal. Mi se pare ca au preturi maricele, sincera sa fu un gloss nu merita 60 de lei din punctul meu de vedere si nici o mascara vreo 70 (Telescopic si la pretul asta se vinde in dm), totusi e un drugstore brand chiar daca au produse de o calitate destul de buna. As mai mentiona si Burjois, care de asemenea are preturile ceva mai ridicate si nu cred ca toate produsele lor merita.

 I am going towards a brand here, L'Oreal. I think that their prices are quite high, and to be honest I don't think that a gloss or a mascara deserves that price being drugstore, even though they do have amazing quality. I would also mention Burjois, which also has quite big prices and i don't think that all the products desreve that price range.

7. Show your best drugstore dupe!

Eu nu am duplicate in colectie, pentru ca sunt mereu atenta sa cumpar cu totul altceva, dar am cateva culori intr-o paleta Sleek care arata foarte asemanatoare cu unele din paleta Balm Jovi de la The Balm, si aic ma refer la nuantele de maro din Oh so Special!.

I don't have dupes in my collection, because I am always on the hunt for something new and different but I do have some brown sades in my Sleek palette that look really similar to the ones in my Balm Jovi palette.

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

Din punctul meu de vedere Maybelline Color Tattos nu sunt atat de awesome cum spune lumea. Nu rezita ele asa bine fara baza, decat daca ai ten normal sau uscat, pe pleoape foarte uleioase mai aplici si o baza dedesubt ca sa fii sigura ca sta unde l-ai pus.

From my point of view Maybelline Color Tattos are not as awesome as everybody says. They don't last without a base only on dry or normal skin, so if you have oily lids like me, you do need it to keep them in place.

Acum randul meu pentru tag: Gabriela, Andreea, Mihaella

I often look at myself in the mirror and all I can see is a pair of tired eyes trying to stay open for a new day, or for a few more hours. A tired girl, heavy lids, messy hair and with a deep desire of going back to bed. Yes, that's me in most days, and after all that I need some time for myself. And you, you should do the same.

I think that in our busy lives we forget to look a bit after ourselves, to look at our reflection and see that we need a break. We need some time off, relax a bit, sleep a bit better, have a nice cup of tea and a good book. I don't know about you, but I do enjoy a good book and a cup of tea, just let myself go with the story. I mostly prefer books that give me a certain feeling and books that can make me relate with at least one of the characters. So right now I have my book at my right, a good cup of tea on the table and some nice thoughts for you.

Time is not much of a friend latley, and that for most of us. We work, we study, we're tired. How to disconnect? I have my methods and I want to share them with you, and also I want you to share your methods with me. I told you about how to distress and relax a while back, but now I want you to see things a bit different. I am not talking abot stress, about all the negative things that affect our lives, I am talking about the general state that we have after a long full week, when a 20 hour sleep sounds like the best thing in the world. Some prefer movies, I have no patience for that. Some enjoy music, and I do too, but particular songs or artists, my favourite one this end of the week (and of all times) is Ludivico Einaudi, pianist. I find myself so... I don't even know how to explain it. I just love the songs, and the piano is one of my favourite instruments, and he is pure genius. It's usually I giorni in the background and me with a cup of tea, and maybe a blog post, one of my ways to disconnect from work and college. He has a song for every mood that I might have, so he is always my first choice if I am going for piano that day.

Books are one of my favourite ways to disconnect from the whole world, and if I had to recommend some, I might just tell you what I've been reading recently: If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman, the second one is in progress. I love the books, the first one is awesome, written in a lovely way, and such a good read. The second one, well, I enjoy every little word, I can find myself in Adam quite a lot I must say. Another Author that I like is Nicholas Sparks, I read most of his books, refused to see the movie for some. Why? Because I created such a beautiful story in my mind and I had way higher expectations, so, no, no movie,

I actually do enjoy a bit of time on my own, a bit of time for me, some time to enjoy and to feel like I can recharge for the next round of full days and neverending hours, that still fly by so quickly.

So, what do you do to disconnect? What books do you read? What music do you like?

Organizare...timp... Recunosc ca in ultimul timp am tot incercat sa ma organizez cumva, sa reusesc sa tin totul sub control, pentru ca sunt foarte multe de facut si mult prea putin timp pentru a le face pe toate asa cum as vrea.

Daca la birou e simplu, stiu ce task-uri am de facut si pana cand, cand vine vorba de a organiza restul vietii lucrurile se complica. Avem de luat in calcul: job, orele de la facultate, blogging  si speranta la timp liber. Bloggingul e un lucru pe care il fac din pasiune si placere si nu as vrea sa ramana uitat sau sa nu ii acord importanta pe care o merita, deci il luam in considerare in procesul de organizare ca pe un full time job (it is anyway).

Si cum ne organizam? Pana acum am incercat eu tot felul de metode si am sa va spun care au functionat pentru mine si ce consider eu ca ar fi esential. Primul lucru de spus e ca mi-am cumparat o agenda saptamanala/zilnica. Practic cand o deschid in fata mea imi vad toata saptamana impartita pe zile si zilele pe ore. Eu completez ce fac, unde ma duc cat stau si de asemenea le marchez importanta (ajung si aici imediat). In primul rand orele de la facultate le-am trecut primele, iar apoi am umplut spatiul pentru orele de la serviciu si astfel observ cat timp a mai ramas pentru blog si pentru orice altceva, de obicei nu foarte mult. Spuneam ca marchez importanta lor. Cum? Cu diverse stickere si post-it's pe care le consider esentiale vietii mele :)) mai exact am buline colorate, fete zambitoare sau mai putin zambitoare, cateva etichete albe (pentru corecturi) si post-it's pastelate si fosforescente, hihi.

Bun, lasand la o parte agenda, mai sunt cateva lucruri care va pot ajuta la organizare. Da, pe langa posibilele alarme pe telefon cu titluri sugestive mai puteti folosi diverse aplicatii, una dintre preferatele mele fiind TimeSpread. E foarte usor de folosit si iti permite sa iti creezi orarul, iar apoi il poti pune ca widget pe ecranul telefonului. Eu il folosesc de cativa ani si e foarte util pentru a stii cand am ore si unde.

Metodele cu To Do list's pe telefon au dat fail cu brio, insa widgetul de calendar e cel mai bun prieten in sesiune pentru a stii cand am examene, unde, la ce ora si mai ales sa imi dau seama cate zile mai am pana atunci, in speranta ca ma voi apuca de invatat in timp util.

In principiu, cu ajutorul agendei sunt destul de organizata, stiu in mare ce trebuie sa fac saptamanal si daca am deadline-uri importante si de asemenea organizarea ideilor in ea e chiar simpatica daca e insotita de smiley faces sau de alte culori simpatice. Notitele din telefon de obicei raman uitate si de aceea nu prea mai practic asta decat pentru a stoca anumite lucruri de care am nevoie doar din cand in cand, obisnuiam sa le folosesc in trecut, dar mereu uitam ca am scris ceva acolo si imi aminteam peste vreo doua saptamani.
