LOTD: Everyday effect

   Here is the Look Of The Day I prepared for today. It's actually the look I had in the past two days, but just got around to posting it today. It's mostly in natural colors, no black eyeliner on the upper lid this time, which is RARE in my case. But instead, I smeared a generous amount of black on the lower lid, to add depth and make it slightly dramatic, also added false lashes in the outer corner of the upper lids, I think that is a tiny trick that is very effective (I like false lashes this way much more than a whole stripe). p.s. I have imperfections on the skin that I rarely get, but I won't bother editing them, it's a beauty blog and I'm not the only one who gets them :P

   Acum, să vă arăt şi Look Of The Day de azi. De fapt am purtat acest machiaj zilele trecute, dar acum am ajuns să fac postarea. Nu e ceva ieşit din comun, am folosit culori naturale şi fără tuş sau creion pe pleoapa mobilă, ceea ce e extrem de rar ]n cazul meu. În schimb, am întins o cantitate generoasă e negru pe pleoapa inferioară pentru a da mai multă intensitate şi dramatism, de asemenea am adăugat gene false în colţurile exterioare ale pleoapelor mobile, mi se pare că e un truc minuscul dar de efect (îmi place să folosesc genele false aşa mult mai mult decât benzi întregi). p.s. De vreo trei zile mi-au apărut nişte imperfecţiuni pe piele, care îmi apar rar din fericire, dar nu mă voi obosi să le editez; la urma urmei e un beauty blog şi nu sunt singura care se confruntă cu asta :P

I must mention this was a special occasion where I made spontaneous decision for two days constantly, I went out for a coffee with my boyfriend one morning and got home about 30 hours later :)) I obviously didn't have any make-up remover or anything with me, and I was AMAZED at how good it still looked after more than 24 hours; after walking in the cold which gives me tears, a party and a night's sleep. I have a product to praise for this, and no, it's not an actual primer...I will list the products used, but won't reveal the one that was responsible for the super-lasting...yet! But in some future reviews.

Trebuie să menţionez faptul că au fost două zile mai speciale, în care am tot luat decizii foarte spontane, am ieşit dimineaţa la o cafea cu prietenul şi m-am întors acasă vreo 30 ore mai târziu :)) Evident, nu am avut demachiant sau nimic de genul la mine, şi am rămas UIMITĂ cât de bine îmi arăta încă machiajul după mai mult de 24 ore; după plimbări pe un ger aproape Siberian de la care îmi lăcrimează ochii, o petrecere şi o noapte de somn. Toate astea se datorează unui produs pe care îl voi ridica în slăvi în curând, şi nu, nu e tocmai un primer... voi lista produsele folosite, însă nu voi dezvălui care este produsul vinovat pentru super-rezistenţă...încă! Dar o voi face curând într-un review.

I took this picture after waking up, after about 24 hours if not more, and that's when it started creasing and the lash glue started to give up. By the way, I must say I payed 5 Ron for that glue on Cupio.ro and I didn't even dream it will last that much, especially under these circumstances:

Am făcut poza după vreo 24 ore dacă nu mai mult, abia atunci a început să mi se adune fardul în pliu şi să cedeze adezivul pentru gene. Apropo, am plătit 5 Ron pentru adeziv pe Cupio.ro şi nici n-am visat că ar putea rezista atât, mai ales în asemenea împrejurări:

- 180 palette

- Ruby Rose palette

Look of the day: Spontaneous Pin-up

   Was playing with make-up, as usually. And once again, I was inspired by the beauty and ellegance of Dita von Teese. I once had a  NOTD inspired by her manicure and I will do a better mani inspiration, as well as a much better and more detailed Dita make-up, with lenses and all (maybe). For now, I did this from memory and exaggerate the contrasts a bit more. 

Eyeliner got a bit screwed up, but well!

...actually, I've used a lot of (more or less) noname products this time. I have a lot of noname stuff I like a lot anyway, and some that I use only for pictures. Same goes for expensive products that don't work great for me, I still take use of them for playing with them at home. That's useful because they don't go to waste completely even if I can't wear them while being outside for hours, either because they don't last, are not my for my skin type or so, or I simply don't feel good being out in public with those colors. 

 So finally, these are the products:

- Rimmel London Stay Matte pressed powder 

- Rimmel London Stay Matte foundation

- The Color Workshop pink blush

- Rimmel London eyebrow pencil

- some Fraulein38 brushes (not in the picture, but I am Captain Obvious ;D )

- Rimmel London Volume Flash mascara

- Golden Rose matte brown eyeshadow (crease)

- The Color Workshop palette with 6 colors (light peach on the lid mixed with shimmery white, warm brown color in the crease)

- Kallos  liquid eyeliner

- some noname red lipstick

- Ruby Rose palette (some of the lightest colors in the first row for the lid & highlights)

Oh, about the Kallos eyeliner (presented it to you in a haul last winter)...I don't think I'll buy it again anytime soon :( it gets messy and dries slowly :

Look of the day: Burn

    A friend was asking me for a make-up that can be inspired by this crazy heat and summer spirit. Then I asked her, what type of summer make-up? Bronze shades, yellow, or...? She said 'something that burns!'. Okay...today, having nothing else to do, I did a quick make-up that I think kinda'...burns. I want to do something more advanced, also ran out of eyelash adhesive (which is not a big deal, since I don't really wear falsies on a daily basis anyway), and the sun started going down anyway, and I prefer taking pictures in natural light. This was inbetween now, so the pictures got a bit blury, but...you will get the idea. Ok, I'll leave you with some blury pictures now, and yes my pores are HORRIBLE when it's so hot outside, no matter what I treat them with, and I wasn't in the mood for thick foundation & powder.

I'll do more of these, take better pictures (hopefully), maybe a step by step one if I have enough time and...patience :D Oh, and here are some products I used, I marked them with little bright dots:

- Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder 

- Rimmel Stay Matte foundation

- Rimmel lip liner pencil

- Mineral Hygienics Kabuki brush

- some Fraulein38 brushes

- Rimmel concealer

- Miss Sporty Studio Lash eyeliner

- 180 palette

- Ruby Rose palette

Just another Mini Haul

   Hey sweets. You know that no matter how much make-up you have, it is never enough, right? Well, yesterday I had to 'paint up' some models for a fashion show and I realized I could use some more colors for highlighting, and I wanted some more neutral colors anyway. I have the 180 palette, but it has way more excentric, vibrant colors than neutral, and even some of the few neutrals that are matte, are dusty and unpigmented. So I opted for some fast and cheaper solution. I guess many of you are familiar with the Ruby Rose cosmetics. They are usually pretty cheap and I personally love them, the quality is good too. They have all sorts of colors, neutral ones, bold ones, unusual ones...Perfect. So I got this pretty huge palette and I think it's EXTREMELY pretty. Here's a pic & swatch 'parade':

Swatched some of the colors randomly

Tried to fit it all in the pic :P

The lower compartment has 5 more colors (swatched below), plus some powder and blush that can always come in handy. Some mini pencils which I might not really use often, sponges and there was also a little brush included, but it fell out in my bag somewhere. 

Needless to say, I love it. Has many light colors for highlights, thing that I was looking for, since I always run out of them so fast. Pastels, pearly, shimmery, extra-shimmery (with big glitter particles) and matte ones - ALL SUPER PIGMENTED <3 I don't really see the use in buying high-end, super expensive palettes, which contain even less colors, when you can but something for half the price or much cheaper and still get great quality. By the way, ALL THE SWATCHES WERE DONE WITHOUT ANY BASE/ PRIMER. Plus the colors are larger cpmpared to the ones in the 180 palette for example and contain a bigger amount of product. 

Got a little bonus too, also from Ruby Rose, a smaller palette, which has a lot of neutrals as well, some beautiful champagne shades, some bronze shades, peachy shades and some greyish blue and green. This is small and much easier to carry around for smaller events or everyday use and it was really cheap (7ron). I swatched some of my favs of this one as well:

Last but not least, I bought a Farmasi lipgloss too, a nude shade. I am EXTREMELY satisfied with it, and I rarely like using glosses. This one is creamy, gives good coverage and it's not shimmery, which is great for me. This swatch didn't turn out too successful, but I'll return with a make-up look (will be perfect for summer in particular) using these products soon, hopefully. Until then:

What do you think of them? Have you tried any of these? Mwuah! :*
