What I've bought lately #2 and updates

 Hello! This week was very hot and I couldn't really do anything without sweating like a pig. I mostly made plans about my upcoming trip and took long walks in the park. I bought a few things to take with me to Greece and I decided to make a little haul. I bought: 

L'Oréal Paris le teint Accord Parfait in shade rose beige - it has SPF 17

Astor Eye Artist Waterproof & Long lasting Eyeliner in black - this is my third bottle, it really stays on and gas a slight glossy finish

Bourjois ombre à paupières eyeshadow in shade 10

Maybelline The Falsies Volum'Express waterproof mascara

I searched all over town for a sunscreen I had my eyes on, but I didn't find it anywhere and got mad and bought Nivea sun protect & bronze in 20 medium instead. I also bought a Gerovital tanning oil with SPF 10. I had to buy a new bottle of Balea Trend It Up dry shampoo to take with me to Greece, I can't live without it now.

 Bună! Săptămana aceasta a fost foarte călduroasă și nu prea am putut face multe fără să transpir groaznic. Mi-am făcut planuri pentru excursia următoare și m-am plimbat prin parc să mă răcoresc. Am cumpărat câteva lucruri pentru a le lua în Grecia cu mine:

 Fond de ten L'Oréal Paris le teint Accord Parfait, nuanța rose beige cu fps 17 (50 lei din Kendra), Astor Eye Artist Waterproof & Long lasting Eyeliner (a fost 38 lei în Douglas- foarte bun, rezistent, este a 3-a soară când îl cumpăr), Bourjois ombre à paupières eyeshadow nuanța 10 (23 lei din Douglas), rimel Maybelline The Falsies Volum'Express varianta waterproof (36 lei din Kendra).

 Am umblat din farmacie în farmacie pentru a găsi o cremă protectoare pe care mi-o doream, dar nu am gasit-o, așa că am cumpărat Nivea sun protect&bronze (22 lei din Carrefour) și un ulei de plajă de la Gerovital cu fps 10 (21 lei din Carrefour). Am mai cumpărat din Dm un șampon uscat Balea Trend It Up (12 lei).

 Besides going shopping, this week I took walks in the park with my parents and then with my boyfriend's mother, admiring the swans and ducks, laughing at the strange noises the peacocks were making and cooling off in the shade.

 În rest, m-am plimbat prin parc cu părinții mei care au venit în vizită și cu mama prietenului meu. Am admirat lebedele și rățuștele simpatice care se bălăceau în voie, am stat la umbră și am râs de păunii care scoteau tot felul de sunete haioase. 

 This week I drank a lot of latte macchiato, my favorite coffee based drink.

 Am băut aproape în fiecare zi latte macchiato, bautura mea preferata pe baza de cafea. Eu nu prea beau cafea, dar un latte macchiato cu cantitatea potrivită de zahar îmi place la nebunie.

 Lately I've been hooked on a new tv drama series called The White Queen, a show about love, war and magic. I love all historic shows, I'm fascinated about how different other eras were. Also, I miss The Borgias, one of my favorite shows and I had to find something to replace it with.

 Another obsession lately was True Blood, a very sexy vampire show that has me hooked. It's not for everyone's taste, but I like it.

 În ultima vreme am fost înnebunită după The White Queen, un nou serial istoric despre dragoste, război și magie. Mi-a plăcut la nebunie The Borgias, am fost tare supărată când a fost anulat și tot am căutat un serial pentru a-l înlocui. The White Queen este complet diferit, însă îmi place mult. 
 Am descoperit True Blood acum 2 sezoane și nu m-am putut opri din uitat. Sezonul acesta mă ține cu sufletul la gură de fiecare dată și hei, e cu vampiri sexy, așa că nu mă puteți învinovăți.

 How was your week? What tv shows do you love right now?
 Cum a fost săptămâna voastră? Ce seriale îmi puteți recomanda?

APIVITA Pink Rose lip balm review

Hello! Today I want to review a lip balm by APIVITA, a Greek brand known for using up to 100% natural ingredients. 

The one I have is the one with Pink Rose and I must say this is my third tube, because it is my favorite lip balm. I found it when I was paying for something at the pharmacy and there were many lip balms next to the cash register that caught my attention. I decided to get the Pomegranate one because I thought it would give my lips a nice color. After I got home I realized I got the wrong lip balm and I took by mistake the one I wanted the least, the one that smelt like roses. I'm not a big fan of rose scented cosmetics because I find them smelling very artificial. But I soon found this one to be my favorite lip balm. 

It moisturizes amazingly, my lips feel soft and moist and not at all sticky after using it. It acts like a scrub when I have cracked and dry lips, I use it and rub my lips to get rid of the dead skin cells and my lips become soft like a baby's bum.

It gives a soft shine and a very pale rose color and many times I wear it alone. I often wear it under Maybelline ColorSensational Shine in shade Juicy Bubblegum because the lipstick glides beautifully, fades evenly and gives a more vibrant rosy color. 

The smell is absolutely amazing, it smells like true roses, those that make delicious jam. When I apply it, many times people comment on how sweet and amazing it smells. 

It has many good ingredients like organic beeswax, olive oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, castor oil, jojoba esters and rose oil. Also it is free of paraben, mineral oil and silicone. 

The packaging is sturdy, the cap stays in its place and doesn't get lost in my purse.

The APIVITA Pink Rose lip balm is the only lip balm I have ever tried that really repairs my lips and keeps them soft.

It comes in 4.4 g for a price of 4.95 € / 7 $ / 19 Lei and can be purchased at www.apivita.com. I got mine from Sensiblu. 

Just to show you how loved was my last lip balm, here's a picture of it after 5 month of use:

What's your favorite lip balm?

What's in my makeup bag

Hello! Today I want to show you what's in my makeup bag and what I use in a day to day basis. I am currently in vacation at my parents, so this is the makeup I decided to take with me to use for about a month. I used to carry my makeup and skincare in the same place but I thought I should have a bag just for makeup to keep it tidy. I currently have a striped makeup bag that doesn't get dirty easily, so it's perfect for makeup. What's in my makeup bag? 

Face:

At the moment I am using Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum mixed with Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector and I'm applying it with the ELF Powder Brush (great for foundation). The Healthy mix clings to my dry areas and the Garnier BB Cream makes me look oily (and I have a normal to combination skin) so I mix the two to achieve a dewy finish. For concealer I use Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer (I love how creamy it is but it sets in my fine lines), sometimes I use the Benefit Moon Beam Luminizer, and for powder I apply Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder with Jade Powder Brush. I then apply a blush (The Body Shop Shimmer Waves in Blush or Rimmel Blush in Coral ) with the Avon Blush Brush.

Eyes:

For my eyes I use ELF Eyelid Primer, then some eyeshadow from the Sleek Monaco Palette and/or Sleek The Original Palette using the Essence eyeshadow brush, Essence smokey eyes brush and Sephora rounded crease brush. For eyeliner I use Oriflame Eye liner stylo in black and for mascara I use Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express in 100% black. When I want to do a more intense smokey eye I use Avon Supershock gel eyeliner in black. My lash curlers I use are also from Maybelline. I fill in my eyebrows with Miss Sporty Eye Brow pencil in shade 001 black.

To give you a look at what colors I use the most from these palletes here are some pictures:

Lips:

On my lips I usually wear my beloved Apivita lip balm and if I want some color I wear over it Maybelline ColorSensational Shine in shade 140 Juicy Bubblegum (my favorite) or  Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids in shade 910 Shocking Coral.
