NYX cream blush - Sleek True Color Lipstick - NYX Slim Eye pencil

 I chose the shade Natural, which i thought it would be a more peachy pink. I see it as a soft pink, very natural and pretty. The texture is amazing, i use it on colorstay foundation and it applies smoothly and it can be build up. I also wore it as a lip color and i loved it! :)
 I think it's a great product!
 It gives glow and it doesn't become matte or powdery, exactly what i wished for!
 I got 2 Sleek True color lipsticks in colors Barely There and Coral Reef. Barely there is orangey on me and Coral Reef is way to bright for me. I like their texture, their finish and their wear experience, but the colors are tricky. I was tempted to buy Papaya punch, but i'm glad i didn't. I was looking for great colors to make me look bright and fresh, but Coral Reef is overly pigmented for my fair skin and dark hair. But if i were redhead, it would've made a great choice, i.m.o!
 Here they are swatched. I took pictures of me wearing them on my lips, but i hated how they looked and didn't post them(as usual). :P
 And my last item was NYX Slim Eye Pencil in shade Taupe. It's a light brown that i can't wear on my waterline, like i wished, it's now as pigmented to be noticeable. It's weird. I will sharpen it and try again or wear it on my upper lash line, sometimes. It's also an eyebrow pencil, which i find weird, i didn't try it on my eyebrows because of the color - i use a darker one since i dyed my hair black, again.

Hope it was helpful,
Have a great weekend!

Sexy curves mascara, yves rocher concealer and seventeen lipstick

 I just loved the idea of a compact concealer since i like heavier coverage under my eyes, where my most freckles are! The price was reasonable, too and i couldn't wait to try it out!
 I chose the shade 200 - clair, meaning it's the second after the lightest.
 It has yellow undertone as you can see in the photo above.
The consistency is hard-compact and once applied it streaks, especially if much is needed, since it doesn't cover very well, medium i'd say. I don't like it and i won't buy it or even use it again! :(

I liked the rimmel sexy curves mascara and i went to repurchase it, but they only had the intense black version. It it pretty much the same, i can't notice a deeper black or anything. What i like about it is the way it defines the lashes and the brush is easy to use.

 
 The third thing i bought and i don't like is the Seventeen lipstick in color 200. I was looking for a satin finish peachy color for everyday use. I hate the smell of this, i think it contains too much wax and the only nice thing i can mention is the color.
 I regret buying this...that's why i placed an order on some sleek true color lipsticks  in colors Barely there and Coral reef, that i can't wait to try!



 Here's a swatch in natural day light. Looks pretty, doesn't it?

 Below, on the left is Barry M in shade 147.


 Here it is on my lips in day light, near the window. (Seventeen 200 lipstick) I doesn't even apply smooth and even! Chhhh!
Be back soon with reviews on Sleek true color lipsticks and Slim eye pencil in Taupe and Nyx Cream Blush in shade 'Natural', next weekend or so! ;)
Have a great week!

Elf Dramatic False Lashes Kit

 I'll let the pictures 'speak' for this review and i only have 2 things to say:
1. The lashes are great, flirty, natural looking, i.m.o., even if they're callled 'dramatic', the band is so thin and that makes them so damn wearable! I just love the fact that i don't feel them heavy and uncomfortable on my eyes!
2. The lash glue that comes in this kit is so crappy that you can notice in the pics below how they started detaching after only 1 hour of wear. I just couldn't make them stick in the inner side, although i tried 3 times... Overall they're great option considering the price along a good adhesive ;)

Elf HD blush in 'Encore'

 This little thing is soooo pigmented!! It was the single color i could choose from the ones available on the romanian elf site and i didn't fail. I think it looks natural and in the end you control the amount!

 I apply it lightly with my fingertips, dotting & blending. That little amount that shows below is enough for one cheek.

 Here i applied more for the purpose of this review.
 This shade is called Encore and it is a hot mauve-pink. I was aiming for a natural looking blush that didn't look like powder on top of the foundation and i noticed that over colorstay foundation is not working well. Here i had on Astor lift me up foundation in 103 - rose beige. 
It doesn't give glow or shine. In my opinion it's easy to apply, but it depends very much on the base. Overall i like it and i will order Superstar next.

Hope it's been helpful ;)

Joico treatment shampoo and conditioner for daily use

For my birthday, my husband surprised me - totally - with this Joico treatment kit for normal hair and problem scalp (daily use). I didn't know anything about the brand, until after i got to work and told about it to my work colleague.

I noticed a change after the first use. My hair was more thick and textured! I was stunned. I have damaged hair and i feel that the keratin really helped it. I use it for 2 weeks now and i love the smell of each product, it takes you into a virtual professional salon in your own bathroom, at home.

Great choice, hubby!
Thank you ;)

Farmec Natural

Tot pe rand, am ajuns sa folosesc 3 produse din gama noua de la Farmec.
Primul a fost demachiantul cu galbenele pe care il gasesc foarte tonic pentru ingredientele pe care le are. Face treaba buna si pretul este foarte rezonabil.
Cand am mers la cumparaturi prin Kaufland am dat peste crema pentru conturul ochilor cu argan si pot sa spun ca sunt mai mult decat incantata de ea. A fost 9.9 lei si hidrateaza fara sa imi irite ochii, eu pun crema, nu ma joc si totusi nu imi lacrimeaza ca si de la alte creme. O voi folosi pana la disparitie! :))
Ultima a fost crema hidratanta pentru fata cu argan pentru care m-am dus special la un magazin Farmec, dupa ce ma interesasem pe net ca ar fi cam 10 lei la 50 ml. Vanzatoarea scoate ditai cutia de 150 ml si imi cere 14 lei!!! Am ramas masca si ma pufnea rasul in cursul zilei, cand ma gandeam. 14 lei pentru o crema (e varianta pentru fata si corp) atat de fina, fara parabeni, cu miros placut si intr-o cantitate atat de mare, e mai mult decat o minune pentru bugetul oricui. Mie imi face tenul atat de moale, fin si hidratat cum numai Olay mai reusea - primele 10 minute. :)
Ma bucur sa sustin o companie romaneasca, chiar merita.


AURA lipstick (DM store)

I recently discovered a new makeup collection in the DM stores and the first item i picked up was this lipstick. Satin Extreme in Peach Passion 912.
The texture is almost matte, creamy. The lipstick has a smell, but it doesn't bother me, because it is subtle. It stays on a decent amount of time and after a whole day of wearing it the lips aren't dry.
The price is more than decent and i absolutely love it. The range has many shades and i will look for other ones, next time.
