Beauty Box - Pick n Dazzle

ROMANA:

S-a mai incercat in anii trecuti sa se introduca pe piata din Romania conceptul de beauty box dar din pacate toate incercarile au esuat...pana la Pick n Dazzle. Luna trecuta am primit primul beauty box de la Pick n Dazzle. Am fost incantata de produse si de concept asadar am vrut sa va prezint pe scurt in ce consta acest serviciu.
1 - Primul pas este sa mergeti pe site-ul Pick n Dazzle si sa completati un profil de frumusete. Vi se vor pune diverse intrebari pentru ca expertii in diverse domenii de la Pick n Dazzle sa isi poata da seama ce anume vi se potriveste.
2 - Apoi vi se dau 3 optiuni de cutii:
Sleek/Esential - 79 lei
Dazzling/Stralucire - 159 lei
Premium - 240 lei
Puteti selecta sa primiti cutia doar in luna respectiva, pe 3 luni sau optiunea de a primii cutia Pick n Dazzle timp de 6 luni. De asemenea aveti optiunea de a anula serviciul .
3 - Puteti lasa expertii Pick n Dazzle sa aleaga pentru voi sau va puteti selecta singure produsele pe care le doriti.
Toate produsele din cutie sunt full size si serviciul de curierat este gratuit. Eu am ales cutia Premium pe 6 luni asadar veti vedea multe postari pe blog legate de Pick n Dazzle si produsele ce le gasiti la ei.

ENGLISH:

There were many attempts to bring the concept of beauty box in Romania over the years but they all failed. That is until Pick n Dazzle appeared. Last month i received my first subscription box from Pick n Dazzle and i was very happy with the products. Let me tell you a little about Pick n Dazzle.
1 - The first step is to head over to their website and complete a beauty profile. You will be asked different questions that will help the Pick n Dazzle experts to figure out what products are best for you.
2 - You will be given 3 options to choose from:Sleek, Dazzling and Premium. For the prices go to their website and see what prices are for your country.
You can choose one box to test the products and the concept or you can choose the 3 months or the 6 months subscriptions.
3 - You can choose your own products or you can let the Pick n Dazzle experts to choose them for you.
All the products are full size and you also have the option to cancel the subscription. I choose the Premium beauty box and the 6 months subscription service so you will see a lot of product review based on my Pick n Dazzle subscription.

Most used products in March

ENGLISH:

MISSHA Natural Color Clay Mask- Firming- I use it on the days my skin is normal and i just want to feel it more plump and firm. It doesn`t hydrate but it has a calming and cooling effect on your skin.
MISSHA Near Skin Self Control Firming Massage Cream - I love this mask. It really saved my skin when it was at its driest. It has a lovely texture and i mainly use it as an extreme hydrating treatment.
CLINIQUE Dramatically Diferent Moisturizing Lotion -dry to very dry skin- Although very hydrating , its very quickly absorbed by the skin. It has an almost airy texture and leaves your skin feeling  soft.
THE ORDINARY Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 - Serums are a very important part of my skincare routine. I especially love hyaluronic acid serums because they give my skin a boost of hydration and vitamins .
THE ORDINARY 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil - because it is an oil and it needs more time to be absorbed by the skin i mainly use it at night. To be honest the first 10 minutes you have it on your skin , it smells of fish...yeah i know...but the effects in time are lovely. Your skin feels more hydrated and  soft.

ROMANA:

MISSHA Natural Color Clay Mask - Firming- Folosesc aceasta masca in zilele cand tenul meu se comporta normal si vreau doar sa-i dau un mic boost. Nu hidrateaza tenul dar are un efect calmant si racoritor.
MISSHA Near Skin Self Control Firming Massage Cream - Iubesc aceasta masca. Mi-a salvat tenul in momentele cand era extrem de uscat. Are o textura foarte placuta si o folosesc pe post de tratament in momentele extreme cand chiar am nevoie de multa hidratare.
CLINIQUE Dramatically Diferent Moisturizing Lotion - pentru ten uscat si foarte uscat - Foarte hidratanta dar datorita texturii lejere este absorbita foarte usor si rapid de piele.
THE ORDINARY Hyaluronic Acid 2 % + B5 - Serumurile reprezinta pentru mine o parte foarte importanta a ingrijirii tenului. Prefer serumurile pe baza de acid hialuronic deoarece acestea dau pielii un boost major de hidratare.
THE ORDINARY 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil - Il folosesc noaptea deoarece uleiurile au nevoie de mai mult timp pentru a fi absorbite de piele. Sincer in primele 10 minute dupa ce il aplic , miroase a peste...stiu , dezgustator dar efectele in timp sunt wow. Pielea devine mai supla si mai hidratata.

ENGLISH:

NYX Sweet Cheeks blush palette - I really like it. You have a lot of colors to choose from and the texture feels quite high quality.
NEVE Cosmetics Pastello lip liner - Psiche/Beige and Invidia/Violet - Very creamy and long wearing.
CLINIQUE Pop Lip Colour + Primer - 13 Love Pop - Very creamy and comfortable on the lips but still long wearing.
CLINIQUE Matte Pop Lip Colour + Primer - 06 Rose Pop - This has to be for sure the most comfortable matte formula in a lipstick. The texture feels so smooth and it glides effortessly when you apply it on your lips.
SUGARPILL Liquid Lip Colour - Trinket - Now we have the most comfortable formula for a matte liquid lipstick . I`ve even worn it for 9 hours straight and it still felt comfortable and hydrating on my lips. Too bad they don`t have many shades to choose from.
CLINIQUE Even Better foundation - I won`t say much about it because i have review for it already on the blog. One of the few foundations that looked good on my dry skin.
NEVE Cosmetics Bio Primer - If you looked for a cheaper alternative for Benefit The POREFessional here you have it. They are almost identical in texture and everything else.

ROMANA:

NYX Sweet Cheeks blush palette - Imi place foarte mult. Ai o varietate de culori si texturi de unde sa alegi iar ca textura se simt de o calitate superioara.
NEVE Cosmerics Pastello lip liner - Psiche/Beige si Invidia/Violet - Rezista un timp indelungat pe buze si sunt cremoase.
CLINIQUE Pop Lip Colour + Primer - 13 Love Pop - Foarte cremoase si comfortabile dar in acelasi timp rezista foarte bine pe buze.
CLINIQUE Matte Pop Lip Colour + Primer - 06 Rose Pop - Cu siguranta cel mai comforabil ruj matt incercat pana acum. Se simte atat de cremos si se aplica impecabil si fara efort.
SUGARPILL Liquid Lip Colour - Trinket - De data aceasta avem cea mai comfortabila formula la un ruj mat , lichid. L-am avut pe buze cel mai mult 9 ore , timp in care a ramas la fel de comfortabil si hidratant. Pacat ca gama nu are mai multe nuante.
CLINIQUE Even Better foundation - Nu voi spune prea multe despre acest fond de ten deoarece puteti gasi un review comple pe blog. Unul din putinele fonduri de ten care arata bine pe tenul meu foarte uscat.
NEVE Cosmetics Bio Primer - Daca erati in cautare de o alternativa mai ieftina pentru Benefit The POREFessional atunci sunteti in locul potrivit.Sunt aproape identice din toate punctele de vedere.

Disappointing products in 2016

ENGLISH:

Hello gorgeous. I'm pretty proud of myself because i only have 4 products on my list of disappointing products.

RO:

Sunt atat de mandra de mine ca nu am decat 4 produse care m-au dezamagit pe lista!

Givenchy Noir Couture - very pretty , luxurios packaging but unfortunately that's all.. It gives you a little bit of lenght but makes your lashes look spidery and clumpy.

RO: Are un ambalaj superb , luxuriant dar din nefericire cam atat e de zis. Da putina alungire genelor dar le face sa para foarte incarcate si inestetice.

ENGLISH:

Tresemme Keratin Smooth shampoo&conditioner-back home i used the shampoo and conditioner with keratin from Gliss and the effects were amazing. When i got here, in UK i bought these 2 thinking that keratin products are all amazing.Well i was wrong about that. I usually have a lot of body and volume to my hair and it's very curly.After the first use my hair lost all it's volume and i began to experience a lot of hair fall.Oh and my head was very, very itchy.

RO:

Acasa obisnuiam sa folosesc samponul si balsamul cu keratina de la Gliss si efectele erau foarte bune. Asadar cand am ajuns aici in UK am cumparat samponul si balsamul cu keratina de la Tresemme deoarece credeam ca produsele cu keratina sunt foarte bune in general. M-am inselat in privinta asta. Parul meu este ondulat si are in mod natural foarte mult volum. Dupa prima utilizare parul meu si-a pierdut tot volumul si a inceput sa cada foarte rau. De asemenea mancarimea era aproape de nesuportat.

ENGLISH:

Pupa Matt Lip Fluid 031- i already had 2 shades and i loved the formula. Because of this i wanted more and 031 seemed to call my name.I was very disappointed to see that the formula was diferent from what i knew and loved. Very streaky ... maybe i just got a bad one .

RO:

Aveam deja 2 nuante si imi placea foarte mult formula. Asadar am vrut mai multe si nuanta 031 parea ca ma striga pe nume. Dezamagirea consta in faptul ca formula e diferita fata de celelalte doua nuante pe care le detin. Nu se aplica uniform si lasa dare....poate am avut eu ghinion.

ENGLISH:

Sleek Matte Me shade Old Hollywood-on my opinion Sleek has one of the best formula for liquid lipsticks. Although a bit dry but the wearing power is excelent and the formula is very opaque. So...i really wanted a darker red but i was disappointed to see that the formula is diferent from what i know. I had the same problem as with the liquid lipstick from Pupa. Very streaky and not opaque. 

RO:

Sleek are una dintre cele mai bune formule in materie de rujuri lichide drugstore. Usuca putin buzele dar rezista foarte bine pe parcursul zilei si sunt foarte opace ca formula. Chiar imi doream un ruj lichid intr-o nuanta mai inchisa de rosu si am ales Old Hollywood dar am ramas dezamagita de faptul ca formula era diferita fata de cea obisnuita. Aceeasi problema pe care am avut-o cu rujul de la Pupa...se aplica cu dare si nu este opac.

REVIEW Benefit They`re Real - eye makeup remover

ENGLISH:
  Everyone heard about how great products from Benefit are. Well , today i`m going to talk about They`re Real eye makeup remover. They claim that this remover is perfect if you have sensitive eyes or you wear contacts.Do you want to find out if it`s true?
  Same as my skin , my eyes are very sensitive. Until now i haven`t found an eye makeup remover that wouldn`t leave my eyes feeling itchy . Every time after i take my eye makeup off i would have dry , red skin around my eyes , they would start to sting and feel itchy. That is the main reason why i don`t really wear eye makeup.Because i`m a huge makeup lover i always wished to find that perfect eye makeup remover.
  My first contact with Benefit They`re Real eye makeup remover was after i bought their advent calendar which had a sample from it. As always my expectations were very low because of my sensitive eyes.Well...i was very surprised to find out that i could take my eye makeup off without closing my eyes...no more itchy feeling , no more red ,dry skin . I finally found a eye makeup remover for sensitive eyes that really does what it claims.And it really removes all the makeup.

RO:
  Toate cred ca ati auzit cat de bune sunt produsele de la Benefit. Astazi va voi vorbi despre demachiantul pentru ochi Benefit They`re Real. Cei de la Benefit sustin ca este foarte bun daca porti lentile de contact sau ai ochii sensibili. Vreti sa aflati cat de adevarat e?
  La fel ca pielea mea si ochii sunt foarte sensibili. Nu am gasit pana acum un demachiant pentru ochi care dupa utilizarea lui sa nu mi se irite ochii. De fiecare data ochii mei erau rosii , iritati si pielea din jurul lor se simtea uscata. Asta e motivul principal datorita caruia evit sa machiez ochii. Dar mereu am visat sa gasesc acel demachiant pentru ochi care sa combata toate aceste simptome.
  Primul contact cu Benefit They`re Real a fost dupa ce am cumparat calendarul advent de la ei ce continea o mostra de produs. Asteptarile mele nu erau foarte mari deoarece stiam ca ochii mei sensibili sunt pretentiosi. Am fost foarte surprinsa sa vad ca ma pot demachia cu ochii deschisi fara sa ma usture sau sa fie cat de putin inconfortabil. Gata cu ochii iritati , cu pielea uscata sau mancarime. Si in plus demachiaza usor si foarte bine.

Monthly favorites

ENGLISH:
 Calvin Klein Eternity Moment- it has a fresh , floral perfume with notes of litchy , pomegranate blossom , water lily, chinese pink peony , guava, musk and woody notes.
 Soap & Glory Hand Food - very moisturizing and has a pleasant scent of lime and vanilla.  Contains macadamia oil and shea butter.
  Garnier Biphase Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil - i really like this version of the micellar water  because you can feel your skin moisturized after using it.
  Holika Holika Naked Face - one of my favourites bb creams. I have a review for this one so if you want to know more about it , check it out.
  Benefit Benetint , Posietint and Lollitint- I love using all of them on the cheeks as a blush. They seem to watery to use them on my lips although i have tried and they leave a nice stain . The negative part of using them on the lips is that they go into the little cracks/wrinkles of your lips.
 Nyx Tinted Brow Mascara- this is the only thing i have used the last few weeks on my brows.I like the look of natural full brows .
  Benefit Highbeam- i use it alone for a natural glowy look or as a base for powder highlighters if i want a glow that you can see from outer space.
 Collection Glam Cristals shade 3 Funk- i don`t use it as a eyeliner but as a glitter if i want some sparkly makeup look.


RO:
  Calvin Klein Eternity Moment- un parfum fresh,floral cu note de litchi , guava, floarea pasiunii, nufar, bujor roz chinezesc , mosk si alte note lemnoase.
  Soap & Glory Hand Food- crema de maini foarte hidratanta cu miros placut de lime si vanilie. Contine ulei din nuci de macadamia si unt de shea.
 Garnier Biphase Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil- imi place foarte mult versiunea asta a apei micelare de la Garnier deoarece lasa pielea hidratata dupa folosire.
  Holika Holika Naked Face - unul din bb cream-urile mele preferate. Veti gasi un review complet pentru ea putin mai in urma daca sunteti interesate sa aflati mai multe detalii.
  Benefit Benetint , Posietint si Lollitint- le folosesc pe toate pe post de blush. Nu ma incanta ideea de a le folosi pe buze deoarece au tendinta de a accentua liniile fine ale buzelor.
  Nyx Tinted Brow Mascara- singurul produs pe care l-am folosit in ultimul timp pentru sprancene. Imi place aspectul de sprancene dese in mod natural pe care il da.
  Benefit Highbeam- il folosesc de unul singur pentru un glow natural sau ca baza pentru iluminatoarele pudra daca vreau genul acela de glow pe care il poti vedea din spatiu.
  Collection Glam Crystals nuanta 3 Funk- nu il folosesc ca eyeliner , in schimb arata foarte bine utilizat pe post de glitter .

REVIEW: Sleek Solstice highlighting palette

ENGLISH:

Hello gorgeous! I`m back with a review and swatches for Sleek Solstice highlighter palette.Everyone is raving about this palette on You Tube and internet and i became very curious about it. Is it worth the hype?! Is it a must have?! Well the answer for all that is a huge YES!!!
It has 4 shades , a cream and 3 powders . They are very smooth and creamy .The pigmentation is on point.It also comes with a brush but i wouldn`t waste my time with it.The shades are:
- Ecliptic - cream highlighter
-Subsolar- shimmer powder
-Hemisphere- baked highlighter
-Equinox- baked highlighter
My personal favorites are Equinox and Hemisphere because they are more pigmented than the other 2 and the glow they give..well...let`s just say you can almost see it from outer space.


RO:

Hello gorgeous! Am revenit cu review si swatch-uri pentru paleta de iluminatoare Sleek Solstice. O perioada de timp toata lumea vorbea despre ea pe internet si You Tube asadar am devenit extrem de curioasa daca merita toata faima dobandita. Raspunsul e DA!
Contine 4 iluminatoare ; un iluminator crema si 3 iluminatoare pudra. Sunt pigmentate se simt foarte soft si aproape cremoase la atingere. Paleta vine impreuna cu o pensula dar nu imi place sa o folosesc...nu mi se pare potrivita pentru aplicarea iluminatoarelor. Nuantele sunt:
- Ecliptic- iluminator crema
-Subsolar- iluminator sidefat ca textura
-Hemisphere- iluminator baked
-Equinox- iluminator baked
Preferatele mele sunt Equinox si Hemisphere deoarece sunt mai pigmentate decat celelalte 2 si sincer glow-ul pe care il dau aproape ca il vezi din spatiu.
