E.L.F. HAUL / Comanda E.L.F.

Salut dragele mele! Cum sa incepi ziua mai bine decat primind un pachet cu cosmetice?? Dupa cum spune si titlul astazi a ajuns in mainele mele pachetul E.L.F. si sunt foarte incantata. Am corupt-o si pe draga mea sora sa comande si ea ceva si uite asa s-a facut de o comanda bunicica. Mai jos veti avea poze si descrieri ale produselor la prima vedere. M-am straduit sa va fac poze cat mai bune sa vedeti cam despre ce este vorba. Dupa ce voi incerca aceste produse va voi face si un review sa va spun si parerea mea despre acestea. Dar, pana atunci, bucurati-va de poze. Va pup cu mult drag. Fiti frumoase, radiante si sanatoase. :)

Hello my lovelies. What better way to start your day than by receiving a package with beauty products? Like the title says, today had arrived the E.L.F. order that I put it some days ago. I was able to convince my sister to order something and we did a nice order this time. Down on the page you will see some photos with the products we purchased and some first impressions. I did as good as I could with the photos, so you can see what`s about. After I will try some of these products I will also make a review to tell my opinion about them. But, until then , stay beautiful, radiant and healthy. Love you. Kisses. :)

Random stuff that I bought lately!Mother`sDay & More!

Hello lovely ladies!! I went shopping for Mother`s Day and since I was already there I bought a few things for myself also. Just couldn`t resist!:) First I ordered two books online because I found a sale : so I ended up ordering "P.S. I love you" by Cecilia Ahern and "Love and Friendship" by  Jane Austen . Excited to get them. I also ordered a few items from ELF , but a few of them I gave them as present to some of my aunts for Women`s Day and I ended up remainin with a blush, a lipstick, a duo cream eyeshadow, an eyelid primer and some sponges. After I bought present for my mother, I bought for myself an eyeshadow quad and two nailpolishes. I also have pending an Avon order , only for 2 products: a concealer and a washing mousse for my skin. I starting to put in place the things that I am going to take with me, so I am buying what I am missing so I don`t pannic in the last days and I have all that I need. If you would like for me to do a makeup look with these eyeshadowa, just let me know. I actually boght them to use for everyday makeu at work.  Here are pictures with the stuff I bought:










Until next time, KISSES AND ALL THE BEST!!
P.S.: Since I talked about my mother`s presents here`s a photo with the gift itself and with my mom and her best friend before going to Mother`s Day Party.

It`s time for January Favorites!!

Hello lovely butterflies!!
Being February now I have decided to do a January favorites. It`s just random stuff that I bought and used in january and that I really like and will continue using!:) So...here they are:
1.Revlon Colorstay Foundation - I absolutely love it. It has a medium to high cover, very nice application, the only thing that bothers me is the bottle, the fact that it doesn`t have a pump or something. But as far as quality, I looove it.


2.Sephora Mineral Foundation. I like it very much as a powder over a lighter foundation or one that doesn`t offer too much cover. It is very good if you look for a more natural, everyday look.
3.L`oreal Color Infailible. Of course I like this also. Who doesn`t ? I only manage to get the colour Endless Chocolat, but I still love it. Is very nice for smoky brown look. If you haven`t tried it yet, go and buy one.

4.For eyeliners I have 4 products that I use almost everyday. I just change it between them, depends on the look. From Sephora I got to of the Flashy liner waterproof in: Flashy silver[which is actually shimmer white] and Flashy Taupe [which is a dark brown with a lil bit of shimmer, almost a blue shimmer, very nice].From Miss Sporty I have the Kohl kajal eye pencil in 001 - Magic, let me tell you guys that is the best liner ever. I absolutely love it, it`s very smooth and pigmented and goes on very nicely, and if you fix it with a black shadow it lasts you all day. And the 4th product is from ELF[eyeslipsface], and is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick - in Like a boss - which is pretty much like the NYX jumbo pencils. Let me tell that is very nice and smooth, and I use it for a base in creating smoky eyes, because it`s a dark blue colour. For that price I totally buy every single colour that they have.
5.Favorite Scent : Intimately by Beckam. This scent also has  a body lotion, which I also love and use pretty much every day after shower.
6.Favorite Brushes : this month I have used ELF brushes, over and over again. The 2 most loved brushes from Elf are the Stippling Brush and The powder brush [the top flat one from the studio line]. These are the most used brushes of the month.
7.Favorite lipstick/lipgloss - is the ELF luscious lipstick in Strawberry. It is a very nice redish pink colour, it goes on kind of sheer, but it`s not sticky or nasty. It is a very good product, very good quality also, and a very pleasant colour alternative for daytime red lip.

8.Favorite mascaras are L`Oreal Volumissime Carbon Black [This is my fav of all times] And Rimmel London Scandaleyes - And these two have been the combination of the last month, which I wore every single day.

9. Favorite Accesories : some of the most worn accesories of this month are:
10. Best clothing combination and also fav combination:

11.Favorite hair accesories :  



12. Favorite inspirational book:
And these are my favorite things of the month...At least the ones that stood up the most. :) Until next time, kisses. Yours truly , Violet.

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.
