Video Lookbook Summer Dresses


Long time since I did a fashion post/video, but I'm back with new dresses - just because I will always be a dress addict! It can never beat a two piece outfit  - for me . I love how they look and me, not because I am lazy but because they are feminine and lovely and elegant.

All dresses are from DressLink, you have seen other dresses I have got from there. They have great dresses and prices. 
The shipping cost it is evaluated at the amount of items you order, if you order many clothes the shipping will be higher, yet it never costed me more than 15$ for 3 items.

I hope you will enjoy the video and please give a Thumbs Up if you do! 

Many thanks to my sweet hubby for taking the pics and filming me! Love you boo!

























Kisses,

The Body Shop Fuji Green tea Bath Tea + New eye matte kajals

Hey Loves,

I recently got these beauty news from The Body Shop Romania and I fell in love. The bath tea is divine, super relaxing and smells like peace. Does peace have a smell? Yes! It's in this bath infusion! Trust me, it's worth it!

Who has too many kajals? No one, it's on the consumables list, and those my friend are often used... So, I always test and use a lot of kajals, it is a product everyone needs in their busy life, right?


The Fuji Green Tea collection has a variety of products dedicated to the relaxation of the body and soul including body scrub, perfume, body lotion, body butterm body sorbet, body wash and bath tea infusion.

 The first step to detox and clean is the Bath tea infusion which contains real green tea leaves from the hard of Japan, the base of the Fuji muntain. The Green tea leaves help detox the skin, leaving it toxin free, moisturises it and helps closing the pores.

I do find it very relaxing, it is easy to use but I feel it leaves the skin a bit oily.
After you use the body lotion you are ok.

The only down side to this product it's it price. Kinda expensive and little product but peace is never cheap...




Now to the eye kajals. The matte eye kajals are available in two shades - black and white , which you can use together or individualy. You can really make a statement by using a double eyeliner with these two, the metod is very In right now and super fashion.

They are enriched with black rose water and marula oil obtained through the Community Fair Trade program. 
The kajal itself is pigmented, easy to use but I would have liked it to be more soft . You have to go twice to be opaque. 

On the waterline it doesn't resist all day, I recommend to fix it with black or white eyeshadow but on the eyelid as a base it is bulletproof. Super resistent and pops up the colour instantly.



Have you tried any of the products presented above? 

Kisses,

L.

Review: L'Oreal La palette nude

The nude palette madness started way back, before Urban Decay made them super popular. But it was Urban Decay who made the boom , and after that other brands also started creating and releasing all sort of nude palettes. If we think logically, nude palette are for everyone. And because L'oreal bought UD, it was expected to come also a palette of this kind out, under the L'oreal brand name. So this is  L'Oreal La Palette Nude

So, when I first heared the news ( on Instagram, of course), I was pretty curious about the palette, and my angel sis bought if for me straight from England, which is were it was released first. Now it's available in France, and probably will soon be released in other countries, as on the packaging it's written in german also.
Talking about packaging, it's very sleek, elegant, has a gold writing on it, easy to open, and on the back it says " 1 Rose " which makes me think they will releas other palettes to. Who knows? We'll wait and see.

            -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toata nebunia paletelor nude a inceput , de fapt, inainte ca Urban Decay sa lanseze Naked, insa ei au propulsat aceasta nebunie si ele au devenit foarte populare. Acest boom produs de catre cei de la UD, au convins si alte firme sa inceapa sa produca si sa scoata pe piata, palete nude, in masa. Si cum L'oreal a cumparat Urban Decay, era de asteptat sa scoata si eu o astfel de paleta, sub brandul lor. 
Aceasta se numeste L'Oreal La Palette Nude

Cand am auzit prima data stirea ( pe Instagram, bineinteles) , am fost foarte curioasa de aceasta paleta, mai ales ca am in intrat in febra paletelor acuma. Am avut un  mic ajutor din Anglia , si astfel am intrat in posesia ei. In Anglia s-a lansat acum 3 saptamani, si in Franta. Probabil planuiesc sa lansezi si in alte tari, avand in vedere ca pe ambalaj scria si in germana.
Apropo de ambalaj, este ft subtire, finut, cu scris auriu, se deschide foarte usor, iar pe spate este mentionata culoarea " 1 Rose " ceea ce ma face sa ma intreb daca vor lansa si alte palete. Vom vedea.



All nude colours have pink undertone to them, and the swatch nicely. We receive 6 shimmer shades and 4 mattes.
The shimmer shades are smooth, buttery, not chalky at all, they blend nicely. (except the first white one which is a pain...)
The matte shades are nice but kinda difficult to work with. If you apply a cream base under them they will show up more vibrant and pigmented. Perfect for crease and transition colours.

           ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toate nuante neutre au un subton rozaliu si se amesteca frumos. Primim 10 nuante in paleta, dintre care doar 4 mate.
Nuantele lucioase sunt fine, moi, nu sunt prafoase ( in afara de prima nuanta ala, care este un dezastru)
Nuantele mate sunt frumoase, mi-a placut si subtonul movuliu din ele, si asta m-a si atras la paleta, sunt pigmentate, insa nu ca si cele lucioase. Ai mai mult de lucru cu ele. In pliu sunt ok, insa pe pleoapa recomand o baza cremoasa sub ele.









Swach:


If you want a nude pink coloured palette, this is for you. It cost £14.99 and it is available at Boots.

Daca va doriti o paleta nude rozulie, aceasta este pentru voi. Costa £14.99 si este disponibila la Boots.

Kisses,
L

Oja saptamanii: Blue Dhalia - Monday Mani

 I don't think you know this but I really like flowers. Dhalias also. The're so beautiful, delicate and versatile. I love them, and I'm really happy when I see their names in cosmetics:)

I recently got my hands on this Estee Lauder nail polish in Blue Dhalia. I love dark nail colours during this time of the year, and if it has a blue - purple undertone to it, even better.
I was really impressed by how fast it dries! Two coats in one minute without drying spray, wow, really like that!

It lasted on my nails for 5 days without chipping and after that I took it off, because I wanted to go short with them.
 Every two-three weeks I cut them pretty short and let them breath for 5 days without anything on them and after that I use treatments and nail polishes.

                         ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imi plac daliile, sunt niste flori atat de frumoase, delicate, versatile. Imi place cand vad produse cosmetice inspirate de flori, dar mai ales de dalii.

Am pus mana recent pe o oja de la Estee Lauder in nuanta Blue Dhalia. Imi plac culorile inchise in aceasta perioada , iar daca mai au si subton albastru-moviu in ele e perfect. Am mai mentionat ca nu port negru, insa culori inchise da.
Am ramas placut impresionata de cat de repede se usuca! 2 straturi intr-un minut fara spray de uscare, wow! Imi place!

S-a mentinut in stare perfecta 5 zile pe unghiile mele dupa care am dat-o jos si mi-am taiat unghiile. Deja erau mult prea lungi pentru confortul meu. La fiecare 2 sau 3 saptamani le tai de tot si le las cam 5 zile la aerisit/respirat fara sa pun nimic pe ele. Dupa aceea aplic tratament si oja.







Kisses,

Brand review: Pellamar

      I've always had a passion for organic, bio makeup and skin care products! Until this year, I tested only foreign/imported products of this range, until I had the oportunity to meet Romanian products, as good ( or better) than some other famous brands. Of course, the majority of skin care products I have tried have been for oily/acne prone skin, because it's my type of skin! 
        So, I got to test and review some of Pellamar products, which is a Romanian brand. The good news? they ship internationally too. The other good news? It has the exact same prices for foreign countries as it has in Romania. I know the price for some product/brand who sells worlwide, it is different and influenced by the economy of that country, but I love the fact that they have the same exact prices. 
The main active ingredient for this is Pell Amar - Mud Extract - natural source of energy for the skin .
The Extract is 100% natural obtained through physical methods from the sapropelic mud from Balta Albă Lake, Buzău county INCI name: Mineral Salts and Amino Acids . If you want to learn more about it's benefits ( and they are a lot!) you can read here. 

                           ------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Intotdeauna am avut o pasiune pentru produsele bio, organice de machiaj si ingrijire a pielii. Pana in acest an am folosit si testat doar produse straine/importate de ingrijire. Ei, anul acesta am facut cunostinta cu branduri romanesti, de aceeasi calitate (sau chiar mai buna) cu cele straine. Bineinteles, majoritatea produselor pe care le cumpar sunt pentru tenul gras, predispus la acnee fiindca cu asta ma confrunt(am) si acest este tipul meu de ten. 
        Am avut ocazia sa testez produsele Pellamar , brand romanesc,  pe care vi le-am aratat pe retelele sociale si intr-un clip de pe canalul meu de YouTube, daca nu l-ati vazut va invit aici.


       Ingredientul activ principal este extractul Pell Amar obţinut din nămol sapropelic de către prof. dr. Ionescu Călineşti. Extractul natural de nămol sapropelic este un complex mineral organic şi enzimatic cu proprietăţi biotrofice, regeneratoare, antiinflamatoare, analgetice, sedative şi vasodilatatoare demonstrate atât experimental cât şi în cercetări clinice. Daca doriti sa citit mai multe despre beneficiile produselor va invit aici.


So let's talk about packaging. It's clear to everyone that they CARE! I mean, look at them! Do you like the packaging? I DO! Love the design, love the way they did the toner cap, the cap for the acne, very hygenic and usefull! And what about the puryfing gel? The product is huge! 250 ml is like a shower gel, and you only need a small amount of that to wash your face!! 
I am very satisfied with the packaging and it look classy!

Sa incepem cu ambalajul! Este evident ca le pasa ! De indata ce le-am vazut mi-a placut designul, pompita tonerului, capacul cremei pentru acnee ( foarte igienic), ce sa mai spun de gelul purificator...este imens! are 250 ml, cat un gel de dus si aveti nevoie de foarte putin produs pentru a va curata fata! Va place ambalajul? Mie DA!! 


To start the review itself, I'm going to beggin with the night cream. I haven't used it every night, because the acne cream is also hydrating, but I used it in the morning also when I felt my skin needed a little more attention and hydration, because, I don't know how is it in your country, here is cold and my skin needs protection and tender. 
It is indeed for sensitive skin, because I didn't had problems with it in my eye area. I'm very sensitive there and I can't use any eye cream. 
This cream contains 99% natural ingredients of vegetable and mineral origin, which act to recover the vitality and skin cell regeneration. The active principles of this cream helps to accelerate the natural recovery process of the skin, increase firmness and elasticity of the tissues. 
PhytoCellTec ™ Argan, a powder based on stem cell of Argan tree, one of the oldest species in the world. 
I don't have very strong wrinkles so I can't tell you if it  reduces the depth of them.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pentru a incepe recenzia propriu zisa , am sa va vorbesc intai despre crema de noapte pentru ten sensibil. Nu o folosesc in fiecare seara fiindca lotiunea anti acnee este hidratanta, insa o mai folosesc chiar si pe timpul zile , cand nu port machiaj si simt ca tenul meu are nevoie de mai multa hidratare si ingrijire.
Intr-adevar va pot spune ca este pentru ten sensibil, deoarece nu mi-a creat nicio reactie adversa in zona din jurul ochilor, care la mine este cea mai sensibila si nu suporta orice crema/produs.

Cremă regenerantă de noapte ce conţine în proporţie de 99% ingrediente naturale de origine vegetală şi minerală, care acţionează pentru recuperarea vitalităţii şi regenerarea celulară a pielii. Principiile active ale acestei creme ajută la accelerarea procesului natural de refacere a pielii, creşterea fermităţii şi elasticităţii ţesuturilor.

PhytoCellTec ™ Argan este primul ingredient activ capabil sa protejeze şi să vitalizeze celulele stem dermale. 

Nu pot sa va spun daca intr-adevar atenueaza adancimea ridurilor fiindca nu am riduri adanci.



The deeply purifying gel is my favourite! They recommend to massage it into your skin and leave it for about 2-3 minutes and than rinse it off . I use it daily, in the morning and in the evening. I can say it dries a bit my skin, but not too much, and it is not as harsh as other products that controls your sebum.
The only thing I don't like it's the fact that doesn't take my mascara off. In a way, that's a good thing, because it doesn't contain too many sulfates.
The texture of it is very dense, so you only need a tiny bit of it for your entire face. 
My face feels extra cleen and soft after it!
It cleaned my acne soo much since I started using it! I can't tell you how happy I am!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gelul purificator este preferatul meu! Ei recomanda sa masezi gelul putin in piele , iar apoi sa il lasi timp de 2-3 minute dupa care sa il spalati cu apa calduta. Il folosesc zilnic, dimineata si seara. Pot spune ca usuca putin tenul, insa nu e  nimic grav, nu este la fel de puternic ca alte produse pe care le-am mai folosit. 
Singurul lucru care nu imi prea place la el este ca nu spala rimelul, pe de alta parte e un lucru bun, fiindca nu contine prea multi sulfati. 
Textura lui este una foarte densa, astfel incat aveti nevoie de o cantitate mica, cat un bob de mazare ca sa va acopere toata fata. Tenul meu se simte foarte curat si fin dupa utilizare! 
Mi-a curatat tenul si acneea incredibil de mult!!


Let's talk about the product that changed my skin and how gratefull I am to have it in my life! 
The Cream for acne is THE  cream. It's only for night time use, and it does not make my face greasy after applying it or during the night. I'm always enthusiastic about trying out new products that pretend to clean my acne and make me more secure about myself. This gives me so much confidence that I am not using as much foundation as I used to because my skin has cleaned!

The texture of it at first gave me emotions, because it reminded me about an old acne cream with sulf that I hated and didn;t gave me any result, buuut, by the days passed by, I have seen an improvement on my skin. 

This cream claims to reduce the pores  and to make the skin  smoother, less sensitive to the formation of blackheads, inflammatory forms and pimples. 
I can't say my pores are smaller, but my makeup stays better since my sebum is under control, my blackheads are almost gone ( which is a miracle) , no more white heads or imflamatory pimples under the skin. I hate those !! 
So, overall I will definitely buy it again, and recommend it to everyone who has acne-prone skin. It is so cheap for what offers! You have no ideea. I was never in my life more happier about a cream! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Acum sa vorbim despre crema care mi-a imbunatatit tenul si pentru care sunt foarte recunoscatoare ca a aparut in viata mea! 
Crema anti acnee este destinata utilizarii doar in timpul noptii datorita texturii ei vascoase, insa nu imi face tenul unsuros nici dupa ce o folosesc, nici in timpul noptii. Intotdeauna am fost entuziasmata cand am incercat o noua crema anti acnee care pretinde sa curete tenul si sa imi ofere o mai mare incredere in mine. Crema aceasta imi ofera atata fericire si incredere incat nici nu mai folosesc atat de mult fond de ten! Tenul meu este curat!

Cand am vazut-o prima data , si i-am vazut textura, mi-am  adus aminte de o crema cu sulf pentru cosuri pe care am folosit-o mai de mult si mi-am zis, vai, sper sa nu fie la fel, fiindca aceea nu mi-a oferit niciun rezultat! Nu a fost la fel, iar rezultatele nu au intarziat sa apara. In curand termin crema si cu siguranta o voi recumpara!

Crema pretinde sa micsoreze aparitia porilor, sa imbunatateasca textura pielii, sa curete imperfectiunile, sa fie mai putin sensibila la formarea punctelor negre, formelor imflamatorii si a cosurilor. 
Nu am observat o micsorare vizibila a porilor, insa machiajul se aseaza mai bine pe ten de cand sebumul este sub control, punctele negre cu siguranta sunt mult mai putine decat aveam, la fel si cele albe, insa de ce sunt cel mai fericita este disparitia cosurilor de sub piele care apareau indeosebi in perioada aceea a lunii, si care erau foarte dureroase. Acum ma bucur de o piele cu mult mai putine puncte negre si cosuri. 
Per total, nu am nimic ce sa ii reprosez, si trebuie neaparat sa o incercati mai ales daca aveti ten gras cu tendinte acneice! V-o recomand!!
Este prea ieftina pentru ce ofera, fiindca ma face foarte foarte fericita!!



The toner is hydrating, very soft, doesn't have any perfume and I love the way I have to apply it! Also cleans away all the other impurities left on my skin!

---------------------------------------------------

Tonerul este hidratant, foarte bland, nu are parfum si imi place modul de aplicare. Deasemenea, curata si indeparteaza toate impuritatile ramase.


Hope You will read this and try the products because they are must haves!!!

Sper ca v-a placut articolul si veti incerca produsele fiindca sunt absolut necesare!


Kisses,
L.

Oja Saptamanii - Ruby Rouge - Monday Mani

There is nothing more than a good black cherry colour on my nails this ( or every) autumn!  I'm always on the hunt for the perfect dark redish colour. I was obsessed to find the right undertone to it, as I have seen a Girls Aloud video and I've been looking for an exact colour as there. I can't say I have found the perfect one, but I have severel I really love and enjoy having on my nails. I'm not really a black-nail-polish person but I really like dark colours on my nails, more than neutral/colourful nail polishes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nu exista nimic mai frumos decat o nuanta frumoasa de visina/vin pentru unghiile mele in aceasta ( sau fiecare) toamna. Sunt mereu in cautarea unei nuante frumoase de rosu inchis pentru sezonul rece. Am devenit putin obsedata de aceasta nuanta dupa ce am vazut un clip al fetelor de la Girls Aloud, si avea una dintre ele o nuanta superba de bordo nici prea inchis nici prea deschis pe unghii. Wow, ce frumoasa e! In orice caz, nu pot spune ca am gasit exact nuanta aceea insa am cateva care seamana foarte bine cu ea . Nu sunt deloc o persoana care sa poarte negru pe unghii, insa imi plac foarte mult culorile inchise pe unghii, chiar mai mult decat cele naturale sau colorate.


Today I'm showing a nail polish from Oriflame, from their new range, The One Longwear nailpolish. ( you can see the whole collection swatched here.) 
It's my first time using it and I trully love the colour. I thought it has more like  purple undertone to it, but it's red based.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azi va arat o oja de la Oriflame, din noua colectie The One Longwear , puteti vedea toata colectia aici.
Este prima data cand o port si chiar imi place culoarea, desi am crezut ca are un subton moviu, are subton rosu.

The colour is Ruby Rouge
Culoarea se numeste Ruby Rouge
Isn't it beautiful?
Nu-i asa ca e frumoasa?

What is your favourite autumn nail color?
Care este nuanta voastra de oja preferata pentru toamna?

Kisses,
L.
