New storage Ideas !

Hello beautiful bloggers!!Vio here! Just wanted to share with to you some storage ideas for your make-up. I went yesterday to a shopping center and I found some plastic storage boxes that are normally used for food. But I just thought I can use them for my make-up. Of course you can use it for whatever suits you best,  I chose make-up. They are also very good for traveling and keep your things safe during your trip. So here are some pictures with  my purple and green storage boxes along with some photos of my little heaven corner. You can use it for your earrings[as you will see the small orange box, it has a lot of small compartments, where I put some of my most used earrings], or just about what fits there. Is up to you. For who is from Constanta these boxes are from Maritimo Shopping Center, Auchan, and they weren`t expensive. Oh and you can see that I took off the labels. They went off very easily.







this is something that my boyfriend did for me and I put above my mirror. How cute is he?:)

Every night face routine!!

Hey guys!! So I just thought I share with you my evening face routine after taking off my makeup.
First step on every evening before I go to bed is taking off my makeup, for which I don`t use any makeup remover. I actually prefer to wash it off with soap. I know maybe is not the best method, but is the best for me. My face just feels much cleaner and I feel that by washing it every little bit of makeup goes away.:)
The second step is washing my face with a soft cream from Nivea, which I currently like : [as in the first photo at the bottom of the post].
After that this is a step that I take only Every Saturday, just because is helping me to clean my face deeper than usual, that`s why I don`t do it every other day. For this step I use a scrub, which I really love and I got from Sephora two weeks ago I believe. I put a photo with it at the bottom along with the other products I use. I love and recommend it.
After this I put on a peeling mask, because these are my favorites and I really need to clean all my pores after a long week of wearing makeup every day. REMEMBER !!I am only doing these steps one day every week, and I chose Saturday.
Anyway, on a normal day I use a thermal water after just cleansing with the Nivea soft cream. I let it sit for a while, and after I apply my eye cream, you can use everything that you prefer, but I chose one from the drugstore.
On winter nights when my face is dryer than usual, I use as a moisturizer the classic Nivea Cream, which is the most nourishing cream I have ever seen. So that`s that.
But for the other seasons and also on the day time I use more light moisturizers like the one from Herbosophy before I apply my makeup[and I let it sit before I apply my primer] or the gel formulas from Avon which I really enjoy during summer time, especially the cucumber one. They are very light and almost refreshing and it gives the right amount of moisture without making your makeup melt in the heat of the summer. :)
For the lips every night I just put the classic Vaseline, but every Saturday, just like my face routine changes, my lips also, I make my own lipscrub with brown sugar and vaseline. This is what works the best for me and anyone can make it at her home. :) After that just use your favorite lipbalm or whaterver suits you best.
Oh, and I almost forgot, for the unexpected acnee that I sometimes have for some days every month I use The Zit Zapper from ELF, which is very useful with small pimples or redness, but for bigger problems I have a mask from avon, but I don`t remember the name right now, is something form clearskin line they have anyway. Sorry:D

I believe that`s about it. I will add some photos of the products I use right now. DON`T FORGET!!Any now and than give yourself a night of relaxing and pampering and use good products, and feel like a RELAXED Queen at least for one night every week. Just choose the night that is at least busy from all so you have time for yourself. Put your favorite music, take a long relaxing bath, and take care of your skin. After all a nice healthy skin and body give you the perfect canvas to begin with every single day.:)Stay healthy and happy , and don`t forget to smile.:)Kisses. See you guys soon.

Make-up By E.L.F.(www.eyeslipsface.com.ro)

Hello guys!!:) I recently made an order with elf, so the link in the title is the site for our country. So I bought some stuff, for the firts time, just to see how they are. I”m gonna put the links below and some of my opinions about them:
1. Stipple brush : which is amazing, and for that price I really recommend it. I use it mainly for foundation and it worked wonders for me. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_2_11_0_153_17-Pensula-Stipple-.php
2. Powder brush:again, for that price is really nice and smooth, and I think I like it even more then the stippling brush. I totally recommend both brushes. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_2_11_0_97_6-Pensula-pentru-pudra.php
3. Eye brushes, I bought 2 of them, and one is the eyeshadow brush and the other one is for the crease. I really like the one for just applying eyeshadow, but the one for the crease (maybe I just got a bad one) I don„t really like that much. Is not very bad, but some hairs come out when I apply something with her. Is not bad for the price, but I don„t actually recommend it either. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_1_5_0_127_15-Pensula-pentru-aplicare-fard-pliul-ochiului.php
- http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_1_5_0_41_4-Pensula-pentru-aplicare-fard-de-ochi.php
4. The next thing I got is one of their flawlees Eyeshadow quads, the one in Beautiful browns. I„m very happy about it, the colours are beautiful, it has 2 matte and 2 shimmeri colours. They are very nice quality also and you can do a lot of everyday make-up looks with it. I will totally purchase it again,or at least in another combination of colours. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_1_1_0_285_128-Fard-de-ochi-Flawless-Eyeshadow-.php
5. I got the Shimmering Facial Whip in Pink Lemonade, and I use it for my cheeks and I really like the healthy glow that it gives to my skin. The only down side that I can say about it is that is very small, but I really think that you can still make a lot of us out of it. And the colour is gorgeous. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_1_1_0_11_43-Crema-iluminatoare-pentru-fata-pometi-ochi-buze.php
6. The concealer stick I got is very good, I reallt like the formula of it and has a pretty good coverage, but again very small. I got the colour Honey and it fits my skin almost perfectly. - http://www.eyeslipsface.com.ro/products_ro_1_3_0_25_6-Baton-corector.php
I got another concealer, but this is a liquid one, and is kind of nice but I use it more for when I do someone„s make-up and has a more mature skin, and also a lipgloss. But I gave it as a present to my sister so I don„t really know what to say about it.
I also got a present from Elf, an eye pencil in white, very nice of them, and also 20%off and free shipping, so I„m very happy with my order overall.
Thank you Elf, I will most definitelly buy again from you. If you want or need some swatches or some looks done only with stuff from Elf, Iwill gladly do some, if you ask. Until the next order be safe and healthy.
Talk to you soon. Check Out www.eyeslipsface.com and www.eyeslipsface.com.ro (for our country).
Kisses, yours trully Vio.
