Hello lovelies!

“My favorite woman is a woman who looks like herself at her best,” said Tom Pecheux. “I love eyes that are made up without looking too made up. This is a trick I’ve been using backstage and on ad shoots for years. The simple trick of using two different shades – darker on top, lighter on the bottom – work together to really open up the eyes.”

For a truly modern, fashion-inspired, enhanced eye-opening look, pair this innovative mascara with Estée Lauder’s New, Limited Edition Double Wear Stay-in-Place Dual-Ended Eye Pencil Duos and eye-brightening, Limited Edition Pure Color Eyeshadows, all part of Estée Lauder Two Tone Collection for eyes.

Now, renowned makeup artist and Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director, Tom Pecheux, inspires a breakthrough new mascara based on his secret backstage technique for a beautiful, wide-eyed look. A worldwide first, NEW Sumptuous Two Tone Eye-Opening Mascara brings a dual approach to your lashes, combining two contrasting shades and two distinct brushes for instantly lifted, beautiful eyes. Boldly dress your upper lashes in rich black and define your lower fringe with a more subtle hue for an intense eye-brightening effect.

Hello beauties!

I just wanna wish you a happy Sunday and show you some of the photos I took yesterday. Lilac is one of my top 3 favorite flowers along with rose and hyacinth so I couldn’t help myself taking some photos.

I also meet this little baby chicken, he is only 3-4 days old and I’m thinking of taking him home with me for 3 weeks. I know it’s crazy!

How are you going to spend your Sunday? Here it’s such a beautiful weather and I hope it will be like this for the rest of the week.

Farmasi No 74 Nail Enamel – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on April 21, 2012 in Beauty. 13 Comments Tags: chic review, Farmasi, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello beauties!

Farmasi No 74 Nail Enamel was the color I worn on my nails this Easter. Because the weather was mostly clouded and it rain so much this week I waited for a sunny day to take photos of this beautiful color. It’s the first time I use a Farmasi Nail Enamel and I was so curious to see how it wears. I don’t know if you used or heard of Farmasi products but they have very affordable prices and their counters are usually situated near a Hypermarket Store. Farmasi Nail Enamel contains 12 ml / 0.40 fl oz of product and retails for €1.15 / 5.00 Lei. You can also order Farmasi product online @farmasi.ro.

Farmasi No 74 Nail Enamel is a true dark plumy purple with pink, turquoise and silver glitter particles which gives the color a nice effect and make it change its appearance depending on how the light hits. Because it’s a dark color you should apply a base top coat first but I decided to apply Farmasi Advanced Growth Base Coat (review soon). Farmasi No 74 nail polish looks quite sheer in one coat but the second coat really brings a nice opaque shimmering purple. I sealed the color with Kinetics Nano Shark Top Coat & Emergency Treatment (review, photos & nail swatches) for an extra shine and mirror effect but also for a long lasting color.

Kinetics Pink Twice Nail Polish from Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on April 21, 2012 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: chic review, Kinetics, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello lovelies!

Kinetics Pink Twice Nail Polish (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) is part of Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (nail swatches, info & photos) launched in February 2012 in U.S. and Internationally in March 2012. This collection features 8 new nail colors with different textures.

Kinetics Pink Twice is a gorgeous baby pink with blue, green, silver and turquoise micro-glitter particles. Depending how the light hits the polish reflects a beautiful pale pink with aquatic reflections. Kinetics Pink Twice is similar with Essie Pink a Boo nail polish (review, nail swatches & photos) but has a better coverage, texture and the application is a lot easier.

Before applied the first coat I used Kinetics Nano Seal Base Coat & Therapy for Brittle Nails (review, nail swatches & photos). Pink Twice is quite transparent in one coat but if you want a sheer pink color you can wear it like this and let the glitter particles work its magic. I had applied a second coat and the color became even more beautiful and opaque but not 100% opaque since it’s a pale pink. After the application of Kinetics Nano Shark Top Coat & Treatment (review, nail swatches & photos) the polish has this mirror effect, it’s very luscious and make those glitter particles pop even more.

Calvin Klein Eternity Summer 2012 Perfume Collection – Info & Photos

Published on April 20, 2012 in Beauty. 5 Comments Tags: 2012 Summer Collection, Calvin Klein, perfume collection.

Hello lovelies!

You know I’m a perfume fanatic and you have probably seen my current perfume collection which I’m planning to expand with the new Calvin Klein Eternity Summer 2012 Perfume. I love all Calvin Klein perfumes and every one of his perfumes was in my collection at some point but what I absolutely love is Eternity Summer fragrance and I’ve bought every edition.

Both Eternity Summer 2012 Fragrances for men and women have been released in 100 ml bottles and they are available in a Limited Edition.

Update Yesterday I was in Sephora and I smelt both perfumes. They’ve recently become available in Romania but also in a Limited Edition. I was happy to see that the price was not very high (around 200 Lei for 100 ml), but Eternity Summer editions perfumes are usually affordable comparing to other perfumes.
