<br />
Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
How is everybody doing? I hope you all had an amazing weekend. For today, I was thinking to share with you my biggest pet peeves when it comes to buy makeup. I am sure you will find yourself in at least one of these situations. Keep on reading!<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Empty shelves </b><br />
I am a beauty addict, I shop for makeup everywhere, from Sephora, to ULTA, Nordstrom, department stores, to Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, other drug stores, to TJ MAXX, Marshall's, you name it - I don't discriminate. It is so annoying to see empty shelves, especially if you want to buy a certain product. You don't want to do business with me?! Fine! I am going elsewhere! This happened to me mostly at Wal-Mart, Target, even ULTA.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Opened/ Used products</b><br />
I hate to buy a product that I got so excited for and later discover that it was opened and swatched. First of all, this is RUDE to me as your fellow consumer and shopper. I see people all the time swatching things and putting them back on the shelf and this makes me so mad. Do you expect me to buy that product after seeing you do that?! Better yet, would you buy a product if you saw it was swatched/ used? I guess NOT! Secondly, it's NOT SANITARY - imagine a face cream that was opened before - I don't know for how long that product has been open, the air already got to it, somebody stuck their dirty fingers in it, or a swatched lipstick looking like a baby chew on it - NO, NO, NO sir! I know most of the drugstores or superstores don't have testers, but please, please, please be considerate to your fellow shoppers, don't open that product, be an informed consumer, inform yourself before purchasing that product, look for swatches, know what suits your skin tone, anybody has a phone on them these days, do a minimal research, don't just use it and put it back on the shelf, at least have the decency if you like that product that you opened and swatched to buy it, it's common sense. Also, I can't stand <b>dirty shelves</b> - dirty with swatches of foundation, lipstick, nail polish - it's just not cool man, not cool. I've seen this numerous times at Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, ULTA, TJ MAXX, Marshall's and learned my lesson.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Annoying and pushy sales associates</b><br />
Usually when I go in Sephora, Ulta or department stores I know exactly what I want - I came with my lesson learned - this helps me save so much money, because if I would buy anything that my heart desires that bill would be looooong, looooong. I don't like it at all when I just stepped into a makeup store and I already got somebody following me around, annoying me. I know you need your commission and I am happy to give it to you, but let me enjoy my shopping experience, let me savor every moment, let me see what's new, if I am going to need a makeup touch-up I will let you know, if I will need your help, I will always ask for it, but please just don't breathe on my neck. This is one of the main reasons that I decided to move my business online and to do my shopping there.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>4. Poor customer service</b><br />
I don't like to be assaulted as soon as I set foot into your store, but to be completely ignored by you, it's something that I can't tolerate either. I had situations where I was asking for help and I was completely ignored, or left there to hang dry or I met sales associates that were uninformed about certain products, even though I always tell them everything - this saves us both time - my skin type and needs, what colors I prefer, what suits my skin tone, what fragrances I like - I still got poor recommendations (and I am being generous here), I still got recommended wrong products. I am a very pacifist in my attitude and I always offer the benefit of the doubt, but even I have a limit and won't tolerate rudeness, stuck up attitude and the absolute lack of knowledge about your job. I am out the door baby, just like Roadrunner trying to escape from Coyote Ugly.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5. Questionable returns</b><br />
I for one, don't like returning products once I've bought them. I don't like it. Period. But, there are some situations when that product was so bad for me, that I have to return it, there's no other way. Even though a lot of companies claim to have a<i> "Hassle free return policy"</i>, it happened to me a few times to be questioned tighter than at a FBI examination (especially department stores).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<i>- Why the product did not work for you?" </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Because, you recommended me the complete opposite of what I explained you!),<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"- Did you try it long enough?"</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Yes, I did and now my face looks like a meteor shower of pimples, thank you so much.),<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"- Would you like to buy something else?" </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Oh yes, please, let me buy another expensive product with my hard earned money, so I can return it afterwards, such a pleasure to see you all the time, will make this our regular thing, when every three weeks we can see each other and braid each others hair. NOT!!!)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"- Why do you want to return this? I see that it suits you perfectly"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(No kidding?! If you can make this three shades darker foundation work for me I'll give you my whole fortune. By the way, that foundation also oxidized on me, so I looked like somebody forgot me in the tanning booth for a few hours.)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"- Everybody loves this perfume. It's so popular now."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Everybody, but me, apparently. The scent lasted on my body for a freaking hour and gone in the wind it was, just like my top dollars from my wallet.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now let me hear you, my dear readers, what annoying situations have you stumbled upon when buying unicorn dust?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours,<br />

Hello beautiful people!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
A few years ago, I decided to take a journey to challenge myself. I was a MBA graduate who spoke a few international languages, developed an unhealthy addiction for lipsticks, with a pretty normal life, nothing too extreme (I am a Libra!), but I was struggling. I felt that all what I have been working for in school, was not valued at its true potential, I felt that I was sinking into some sort of a <i>"too comfortable"</i> situation, you know one of those situations where everything is kinda laid down for you (by family, norms of society) and you need to just follow the path, I felt that I was losing myself as human, I felt that my true self was still undiscovered.<br />
<br />
So, I moved across the Globe with 2 stuffed suitcases (one full of cosmetics) and started from scratch. To paint an idyllic picture about my situation it would be such a lie; there was nothing easy about my journey, but as Pericles said <i>"TIME IS THE WISEST COUNSELOR OF ALL", </i>time heals wounds, in time you learn to discover yourself, in time you grow stronger, TIME DOES TELL.<br />
<br />
If I have to put things into perspective, I am extremely grateful for the people who stood by me in my most difficult and yet, bad times, for the people who took the time to know me and discover me as a human and my potential, for all the given opportunities and for the future ones that I know are coming.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>THANK YOU!</u></i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
And because we are keep talking about time, I have collaborated with <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/#rallysbeautyhighway" target="_blank">JORD watches</a> - the creators of luxury, one-of-a-kind wooden watches - to showcase here on my blog, to make you enjoy every moment and be grateful for it because, <i>"moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
There's nothing more that I enjoy than <i>"my weekend"</i>, when I get to spend time with my loved ones, pamper myself, create content for you guys, go on mini escapades and just unwind, so ... <b>CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND!</b><br />
<br />
When the box arrived, I could not be happier and say <i>"What a beautiful and<a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/dover/olive-and-acacia#rallysbeautyhighway" target="_blank"> unique watch</a>!"</i> It comes in <b>a sturdy wooden box</b> nicely carved with a <i>"J"</i> initial, that has also<b> a secret compartment</b>, (maybe for your favorite jewelry?!) and <b>comes with</b> <b>a preserve cleansing oil pen</b> and <b>Boveda humidity packs</b>. The watch has<b> a beautiful design</b> and it's<b> a self-winding automatic mechanical system</b> or <b>perpetual movement watch</b>, as a jeweler explained me (basically as long as you move, the watch will work too).<br />

Everything to me from the design to packaging screams earthy, yet modern, classy and elegant, quality piece - just beautiful and unique.<br />
<br />
And since a picture is worth more than 1000 words, I asked my best friend and partner in crime to model this <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/dover/olive-and-acacia#rallysbeautyhighway" target="_blank">men's watch</a> for you guys so you could see what I am talking about at a nice relaxing weekend pool day.

Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
The weekend is rapidly approaching and I am so excited to bring you a new post on my blog. I am really trying to bring you more content, I have so many products that I have been testing and I can't wait to share all of them with you, but you know what they say: <i>"Patience is a virtue!"</i> (and I appreciate you all for being so kind and patient with me along my journey).<br />
<br />
If you read the Disclaimer for this post, you found out that I am a brand ambassador for <b>Pixi Beauty</b>. Yes, this amazing thing happened a while back and I still can't believe it. I get to test so many<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BQDx1vMh9b5/" target="_blank"> cool products</a> and talk about them with you here on my blog. Thank you so much <b>Pixi Beauty</b> for the confidence and opportunity! I am so grateful and honored!<br />
<br />
Today is all about<b> face mists</b> that quickly became my latest fascination. I have been testing these <a href="https://www.pixibeauty.com/" target="_blank">Pixi Beauty</a> face mists and let me tell you, I liked them a lot.<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>HYDRATING MILKY MIST</b> - <i>Featherlight mist provides an instant surge of hydration with hyaluronic acid to plump skin. </i><b>My absolute favorite of them all!</b> This is such an awesome product, not only that moisturizes and prepares the skin for makeup or it's a hydration spritz away any time you need it, but the most use I've gotten out of it was at night, after removing my makeup, I would just spray this all over my face, apply my favorite night cream or serum and done. My sensitive combination skin never felt better. Can I get this in a gallon please?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>VITAMIN WAKEUP MIST</b> - <i>it's a vitamin boosting toner mist that gives a revitalized awakened effect to complexion. </i>I used it on clean, bare skin as recommended and it was an excellent base to start my daily skin care routine. I absolutely loved the smell! (orange blossom and citrus extracts are to blame for this).</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>GLOW MIST</b> - <i>All-over mist for a radiant, dewy effect - 21 natural oils, propolis, aloe vera and fruit extracts to nourish and moisturize. </i>This product would be<b> my second favorite</b>. It is amazing! I am all about that glow and this mist offers it ON POINT. I've put this baby to a test, I was wearing my makeup for 8 hours straight and, after work, I had to go out with my friends. I didn't have time to do my makeup, I reapplied my lipstick, sprayed this all over my face and neck and out the door I was. When I checked my makeup in the rearview mirror, I couldn't believe it - this mist brought my whole face back to life, I loved the dewy effect on my skin, my makeup looked so fresh, not to mention I got compliments and questions all night long about the products used. Ssshhhttt, it's our little secret!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>MAKEUP FIXING MIST</b> - <i>All-over setting spray for longer-wearing makeup - rosewater and green tea hydrate and protect.</i> I like this product too, it really keeps my makeup "in place". I smile a lot, so, most of the times, my makeup sets into my expression lines around my mouth. This spray helps me save the day by avoiding that.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All these mists are priced $15 each. The most<b> interesting fact</b> <b>about these products</b> is that <b>you can layer them</b> and <b>multi-mist</b> or use them separately, as you please. Are you ready to multi-mist? </div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Now if you are wondering, it is worth buying them all? </div>
<div>
Honestly, for my skin type and needs, I would definitely invest in the Hydrating Milky Mist and the Glow one. I can see the concept behind this, wakeup your skin - hydrate - glow - fix your makeup and it's great, but it's really up to everybody's skin needs and preferences. These products are so well formulated and work so great, that even one of them does the job by itself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What about you? Have you tried any of these mists by Pixi Beauty? Which one was your favorite?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
Ready for the weekend? Of course you are! (wink, wink).<br />
Today's post is a long overdue one, I have been planning to show you what makeup goodies I got for my birthday and Christmas. I know, I know what are you gonna say, but please, could you cut this girl some slack? Would you? Thank you!<br />
<br />
Right off the bat, let me just say that this is gonna be a <b>big beauty HAUL</b>. If you have been reading me for a while now, you must know these type of articles I enjoy the most. It is not in my character to brag about these things, so if you do not like these kind of posts (but, let's face it, you do!), I am inviting you to access your free will and exit my page. I consider myself a very lucky girl to have in my life such amazing people that understand and supply my beauty madness.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now let's dig into the goodies, I know you want to see them!<br />
<br />
For a long time, I have been wanting a <b>Bobbi Brown</b> shimmering brick, but I was keep holding myself back from buying one, until my birthday in October when I decided to splurge a "little". It was such a special occasion, plus I had a 20% for their Friends & Family event (SCORE!!!). All my fellow beauty addicts out there know what I am talking about. So, I picked up this beauty - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BOVkRSqh8le/?hl=en" target="_blank"><i><b>"Bobbi To Glow Shimmering Brick Palette"</b></i></a>, (you saw it also on my Instagram) which includes three of their most popular shimmer bricks: <i>Gold Shimmer Brick</i>, <i>Bronze Shimmer Brick</i> and <i>Wild Rose Shimmer Brick</i>. Isn't it gorgeous?<br />
<br />
In 2016, I was all about the glow and I found myself buying highlighters and blushes more than lipsticks, so I just couldn't pass this adorable set <i><b>"Glow For It" </b></i>from<b> Sephora Favorites collection</b>. I was happy that they restocked it just on time for me to purchase it. I love everything in this set.<br />
<br />
Continuing on the glowing trend, I really wanted the <b>M.A.C.</b> <i><b>"Sweet Peach"</b></i> <b>Face Compact</b> from their<b> Nutcracker Sweet Holiday collection</b>, but it was sold out everywhere. Somehow, Santa found out about my wish and brought it to me. I was so happy when I found it under the tree.<br />

<br />
<br />
Every year for<a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/10/my-birthday-haul-en.html" target="_blank"> my birthday</a>, I treat myself with the <i>"Give Me More Lip" </i>set from Sephora Favorites collection, but for 2016 I was very disappointed with the selection they offered, so in order to satisfy my lipstick addict needs, I opted for this beautiful lip set <b><i>"Light it Up"</i></b> - <b>lipstick + lip mattifier set from Smashbox.</b> Lippies for days!!!<br />
<br />
Santa (who apparently knows me so well) also brought me this cute <b><i>"Melted Merry Kissmas The Ultimate Liquified Lipstick" </i>lip se</b>t <b>from Too Faced</b>. Could I ask for more?<br />
<br />
My dear friend Maddie pampered me for my birthday and Christmas with so many amazing sweets, she got me <b>my first Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick</b> in <b>the shade</b><i><b> "Crush"</b></i>, spoiled me with gorgeous accessories, Lush products and many more.<br />
<br />
You know how <b>Sephora</b> gives you a birthday gift every year? For my birthday, I received these <b>cute minis from Marc Jacobs</b>. Did you see how adorable is the lipstick?<br />
<br />

I wanted to try something new for my hair so this set <b><i>"Spread Cheer and Perfect Hair"</i></b> from <b>Living Proof </b>was just what I needed. It comes with a full size dry shampoo and a mini shampoo and mini conditioner.<br />
<br />
Also, I got this <b>Urban Decay eyeshadow </b>in <i><b>"Midnight Cowboy"</b></i> as a freebie for my birthday from <b>ULTA</b>..<br />

Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
How are you doing today? I hope everybody is well and enjoying their week so far..<br />
<br />
In today's post you'll find<b> a review</b> of a foundation that I have been using for a while now and it's time for this "culprit" to go under the microscope and be analyzed here on the blog. I am talking about<b> the Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation from Maybelline</b>.<br />
<br />
To me, Maybelline's foundations can be either a hit or a miss - let's all remember <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/08/review-maybelline-dream-wonder-fluid.html" target="_blank">the Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation</a> - but that fact did not stop this crazy girl in her continuous search for that perfect foundation.<br />
<br />
If you are wondering how I ended up buying this foundation, well, besides my desire to be a lab rat, I've heard so many good things about this product and you know how this goes, I had to give it a try.<br />
The foundation cost me $5.94 (+tax) at my local Wal-Mart.<br />
<br />
In case you forgot, <b>I have a very fair complexion</b>, <b>sensitive combination skin</b>, so I have to be very cautious when I am picking a foundation.<br />
<br />
As you can see, Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation <b>comes in a hard glass bottle</b> and has <b>30 ml</b> or <b>1 FL.OZ</b>. According to the code on the back of the bottle, the product was manufactured in August 2014 and has <b>a general shelf life of 36 months</b>.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moving forward, <b>let's see how Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation worked for me.</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I picked up this foundation I had in mind three things:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. I wanted a foundation that can offer me good coverage;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. I was looking for a foundation that can mattify my T-Zone and chin without drying my cheeks or nose and without settling into my fine lines;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. My desire was for a foundation that would not make me look cakey, but as natural as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On this side note, I love playing with makeup and I feel blessed that I am able to do so, but I do not want to overdo it, my intention is to just conceal or highlight my features.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
As I am looking on the back of the bottle, I see that this foundation claims to be good for normal to oily skin: <i>"Mattifies and refines pores, matches natural tone and has a natural seamless finish."</i><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The shade</b> that I have picked up was <b><i>110 Porcelain</i></b>, which is the fairest of them all and matches my skin tone well. I like the fact that <b>Maybelline always offers a good variety of shades</b> that can cover all the different skin tones out there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As having a fluid texture, I had to gently shake the bottle before applying the foundation on my face. Right after the second I opened the bottle,<b> a strong smell of Alcohol hit me</b>, just like another Maybelline foundation tested - <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/08/review-maybelline-dream-wonder-fluid.html" target="_blank">The Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation</a>. This product <b>does not have any type of applicator</b>, which is unfortunate, especially because you need to dose the amount desired at every application (not to mention all that residue that gets stuck in the cap or at the bottle's neck). What I did after gently shacking the bottle, I applied a small amount on the back of my hand and worked it with a brush or fingers onto my face. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The foundation</b> <b>glided smoothly</b> on my face, it <b>blended easily</b> and offered me <b>a medium coverage </b>that can be built gradually. After applying it, I immediately noticed that<b> mattifying effect</b> that I was looking for, the shine on my T-Zone and chin disappeared, the pores on my nose were not as visible, my skin looked even and I liked that <b>"natural" makeup look</b> without looking weird or cakey.<br />

<br />
<br />
I usually prefer to set up my makeup with a powder, I usually go with a light hand trying to set the main areas, like under eyes, nose, forehead, chin, neck and I ended up using the face powder from the same range which I loved. The two combined made quite the team and my makeup lasted up to 8 hours.<br />
<br />
What <b>I did not like</b> about this foundation was <b>that it did settle into my fine lines</b> around my mouth and, as I smile a lot, I had to always be careful and blend it, in order not to look too "funky". Also, <b>the presence of strong irritants</b> like<b> the Alcohol Denat </b>and other <b>parabens</b> <b>dried my cheeks</b> and <b>my nose</b>. At night, when I would take my makeup off, I would feel my cheeks dry and I would notice that my nose was showing dry patches and my pores were showing up as well. So, in order to avoid that, I started mixing this foundation with a BB cream from Bioderma; this duo worked well for me and my face was kept hydrated, looking natural and fresh.<br />
<br />
<b>Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation</b> <b>does not have SPF</b>, and, as you know me, I always advice you to apply your favorite SPF cream before applying makeup - trust me - your face is gonna thank you in the long run. This foundation<b> is transfer resistant</b> with <b>a minimum spotting</b> of the objects that come in contact with, like your blouse's collar, phone and other objects. </div>
<div>
<br />
I bought this foundation reading so many good reviews about it and because a lot of people with oily or combination skin recommended it, but I am having mixed feelings about it, my sensitive combination skin can only take so much.<br />
<br />
Let me conclude with my well-known <b>STRONG POINTS</b> and <b>WEAKNESSES</b> of the <b>Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation:</b></div>
<div>
<br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>STRONG POINTS:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>good shade variety</li>
<li>smooth application + easy to blend & buildable + offers that natural makeup look</li>
<li>transfer resistant</li>
<li>long lasting </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>WEAKNESSES:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>no applicator</li>
<li>settles into fine lines + emphasizes dry patches</li>
<li>contains strong irritants + parabens which can mess up your skin </li>
</ul>

Hello beautiful people!<br />
<br />
<br />
I started this week with some <b>beauty news </b>that I wanna share with you. Did you know that <i><b><a href="http://www.dermae.com/" target="_blank">Derma E</a> is getting new "clothing", I mean new packaging? </b></i>OUT with the OLD, IN with the NEW!<br />
<br />
The re-launch of their packaging design started a month ago, in September 2016 with the first lines, such as Hydrating, Anti Wrinkle, Firming and the best selling Microdermabrasion Scrub and Overnight Peel.<br />
I am sure all those Derma E lovers spotted these new designs on the shelves already.<br />
<br />
You need to know that this new design will roll out through March 2017 to be in all stores.<br />
Now, if you are wondering if this new external change will bring alongside some internal changes as well, I am talking here about changes in the formula and ingredients that we love and use, you all need to know that, and here is what the brand has kindly provided me with some info:<br />
<br />
<b><i>"Our eco-ethical, non compromised formulas will not change in the repack. The same great formula, a fresh new look! To appeal 100% to our consumer, we are updating our look and feel in our brand too (notice on social sites, our website, in store and more). Based on our heritage, mission and values, that have not changed, our new brand look and feel is 100% Derma E."</i></b><br />
<br />
So there's your piece of mind. Derma E promisses to stay true to its ethical beauty commitment:<br />
<b><i></i></b><br />
<b><i>"Since 1984, our passion for health, wellness and environmental sustainability has grown strong. We have high ethical standards and never compromise on skin health and safety. Our 100% vegan, cruelty-free formulas do not contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors, gluten, soy or GMO's." </i></b><br />
<br />
If you are wondering how the new <a href="http://www.dermae.com/" target="_blank">Derma E</a> products look like, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the new packaging!<br />

Derma E was kind enough to send me two of their products<i>, the Hydrating Day Creme</i> (in the old packaging) and <i>the Hydrating Night Cream </i>(in the new one), so I can show you the differences better.<br />

<br />
<br />
Personally, I like this new packaging better, it looks great - it's clean and simple, classy and elegant, it's informative (provides you with on point information about any particular product highlighting Derma's E ethical beauty commitment). To me it gives that touch of a high-end product.<br />
<br />
You can find your favorite Derma E products at stores like Target, ULTA, Whole Foods, Walgreens, GNC, CVS, Sally Beauty, just to name a few and many other local natural stores across the US.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Do you like the new Derma E packaging?<br />

Hello, hello beautiful people out there!<br />
<br />
<br />
Long time no see, I mean<i> "read"</i> here on the blog. If you follow me via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rallysbeautyhighway/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> (and you totally should, it's fun and quite addictive, I must admit), you've noticed that I have been well, working hard, gone through a major hair color change (yes, I was for a while part of the "readheads" club) and some long/short hair situations, but never forgot you, my fellow beauty addicts around the world. I did miss writing here, I did miss talking to you guys, and we have a lot, I mean, A LOT to talk about.<br />
<br />
Enought with this rambling, let's get down to the business, shall we?<br />
<br />
One of my absolute favorite posts to read on a beauty blog is ... drum roll please ... A HAUL. And I was thinking, what better way to come back on the blog then with a HAUL post? No surprise there.<br />
<br />
Beauty addicts out there gather around, this one is for you my darlings! <br />
<br />
As a well respected beauty lover, can you think about one place that no matter how crazy your day has been, once you set a foot inside, it will cheer you up instantly? A place synonymous with "Wonderland"? A black and white strips kind of place? (wink-wink) Are you getting my clues? Yes, ladies and gentleman, I am talking about Sephora. Yes, you guessed it right, it's gonna be <b>a Sephora haul</b>.<br />
<br />
On this particular occasion, I have decided to use up some of my points and get a pretty cool reward (an awesome one I might add). I am sure you know this, at Sephora for every dollar spent, you get a point that goes towards your "rewards account/bank". The more money you spend, the more points you have, the more rewards you can get. The more the merrier.<br />
<br />
I have collected points for quite some time now and I was waiting and waiting to use them on something special, but the proper rewards never showed up until, a couple of weeks ago, when I got an e-mail about the <i>"Rewards Bazaar"</i> , I knew right on that instant I couldn't let this particular reward get away.<br />
<br />
<span class="OneLinkNoTx ng-binding ng-scope"> </span>
I am talking about the <i><b>HOURGLASS FLAWLESS AMBIENCE SET </b></i>which I scored and I must say, boy was I lucky, because there was such a battle to snatch this makeup set, that everything was gone, I mean SOLD OUT in about 4 minutes after being posted on the website. In the beginning, I thought I wasn't lucky enough to score it, as I was refreshing the page frantically and anxiously waiting for a confirmation e-mail.<br />
<br />
The e-mail eventually came and I believe a happy dance was performed after.<br />
<br />
Now let me show you what I have scored. Feast your eyes with these amazing goodies!<br />

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
Every now and then I like to step out of my comfort zone and try something new; either I am trying a new makeup look, an edgy outfit or a new hairstyle, I like to challenge my own self. Speaking of hair, you'll never know what I've tried. Can you guess? Let me give you a hint with a little story.<br />
<br />
I have naturally curly hair and over the years I have played with its length, I have never had that short boysh hair, I really like my hair at least medium length. Due to the fact that I live in an area with a lot of humidity, my hair has now a life on its own, it's frizzy, very unruly, dry, I kinda lost the definition of my curls. Trust me, I did try a lot of products, everything looks amazing on me for about 2 hours, then the nightmare is back. So, at this point I don't even care anymore about the stack of hay on my head, but, boy was I dreaming about some big bouncy wavy curls, you know those that you see in commercials or magazines.<br />
<br />
<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Incidentally</span><span class="">, a few moths ago I was contacted by a lovely company called <b>Irresistible Me</b>, which invited me to test their products. The name sounded familiar and, after a few searches I remembered why, it was because of Nee (aka <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bebexo/featured" target="_blank">Bebexo</a></span>), one of my favorite Youtubers, she used their products on her own hairstyle tutorials. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="">The company </span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><b><span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.irresistibleme.com/" target="_blank">Irresistible Me</a></span> </b></span></span><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_9055">is <i>”a
growing brand of 100% natural Remy clip-in hair extensions, hair
accessories and hair tools. Irresistible Me specializes in high quality
extensions at great prices.”</i></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_9055">So, by this time, you have probably guessed - <b>I have tried hair extensions</b>, something completely new to me. As I was a total newbie at this, I just want to say <i>”A BIG thanks!” </i>to the amazing PR girl who was unbelievable patient with me and so kind in guiding me through the process of ordering the right extensions. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_9055"><i> </i></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_9055">Here are some tips that I have received and like to pass them on to you as well:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_9055">- watch this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/wA31p84ZIsw&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=1" target="_blank">video</a>, not only you'll get familiar with the two types of extensions that the company offers - <i><b>Silky Touch </b></i>and <i><b>Royal Remy</b></i>, but also </span><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10752" lang="EN-US"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10751">you'll see
all the colors side by side (and they have quite a big color selection) so that you can compare and see the
differences. In this way, you'll be able to choose the color that matches your hair
easily.</span></span><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10752" lang="EN-US"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10751"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<div class="yiv5182570957MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10760">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">- when it comes to the <b>length of your extensions</b>, remember a basic rule: <i>”</i></span></span><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_14373">The longer the
hair, the bigger the weight should
be selected.”</span></span></span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447682216627_10759"> The weight of the extensions (100g, 140g, 200g) refers to the total weight of the hair you will order
without the clips attached, so keep in mind that the thickness of the hair is relative to both the
weight and the length you choose: a 14<span style="font-family: inherit;">" </span>200g piece will look thicker than 24" 200g.</span></span></span></div>
<br />
All this being said, I have ordered the <span class="yiv4075245647" id="yiv4075245647yui_3_16_0_1_1440475778888_7257"> </span><a href="http://www.irresistibleme.com/hair-extensions/royal-remy-3/ash-blonde-11.html" target="_blank">Royal Remy Clip-in extensions in Ash Blonde</a> - 24 inches, 200 g. At that time my hair was quite long (more than 24 inches) and not colored.<br />

<br />
<br />
The extensions arrived surprisingly in only 3 days (considering that fact that they are shipped from China), but due to a glitch with FedEx I got them 2 days later. I really like the box in which they came, it's so cute and feminine.<br />

I was so curious to check them out, I was so anxious to try them. As I opened the box, I have noticed the <i>”Open this side first” </i>section, where there are a few useful tips to test if you made the correct choice ordering the right extensions, before opening the rest of the package. Then, I saw the extensions nicely packed and organized. As I was pulling them out, I said to myself: <i>”Wow, that is a LOT of hair!”</i><br />
I have received 10 pieces: 1 pc of 3 clips (8''), 2 pcs of 3 clips (6"), 5 pcs of 2 clips (4") and 2 pcs of 1 clip (1.5"). My main fear was clipping the extensions to my own hair, but if a newbie like me did it, you can do it too (praise the awesome Youtube for that!). <br />

<br />
So, to clip or not to clip? Here are a few thoughts!<br />
<br />
As I was so curious to play with my extensions, the next day I tested them. The chosen color in <i><b>”Ash Blonde”</b></i> <b>matched my natural hair beautifully</b>, <b>the length of 24" was perfect</b>. As I was testing the extensions, I have noticed that <b>the hair</b> has such <b>a beautiful soft, silky texture</b> that I could <b>comb easily before applying it</b>. One thing I did notice, <b>the hair smells a bit differently</b>. <b>The application went smoothly</b>, it was just like a kid's play, clip and you are done. I did attach all my 10 received pieces and you could tell how my confidence level was going up, I had such a full, rocking new hair, that it would make any hair model envious.<br />
<br />
<b>I felt comfortable wearing the extensions</b>, I did not feel any heaviness on my head. Also, <b>they came off easily</b>. When I chose to style them, it was a bit of work for me - long, thick hair - imagine I wanted to curl it all, but I did it eventually. As I was curling my hair, I have noticed that a few strands of hair did remain on my barrel, so I lowered the temperature. <b>My curls looked beautiful and lasted throughout the day without using any hair products</b>. <b>I did not wash my extensions yet</b>, so I cannot give you information about that aspect, but the PR lady that I have been in contact with since the beginning was kind to offer me some useful intructions that I will keep in mind. <br />
<br />
On my birthday month, I decided to try something completely different to my hair, so I did cut and colored it (for the first time!). What are you gonna see in the pictures down below is how these extensions work on my new hair now. In these pictures, I did not use all of the extensions, as my hair got shorter, I don't feel the need to do it anymore. Also, I curled them. I really like this color in <i><b>Ash Blonde</b></i> and I am seriously thinking to do it as my next coloring color. What do you think?<br />

<br />
In conclusion, this was such a fun experience playing for the first time with hair extensions and I am very happy that <b>Irresistible Me</b> gave the opportunity to do it. I really like my <i><b>Royal Remy Clip-in extensions </b></i>and if you are looking for high quality human hair extensions, you should check them out. I am planning to use them a lot from now on!<br />

Have you ever used hair extensions? Do you like them?<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everybody!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We meet again my dear readers in the sweet month of November and this time you'll find me talking about my favorite makeup product in the entire world - yes - <b>THE ALMIGHTY LIPSTICK</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inheriting this passion (now transformed into a real addiction) from my mom who can rock a lipstick anytime and who in her entire life has never used any other makeup product, my passion for lipsticks began when I was just a kid as I was watching her putting on lipstick and I was counting down the days when I would do the same. I was fascinated about that little stick who can just transform you from an ordinary person into a princess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The lipstick for me is not just a makeup product, an object, the lipstick is a part of me. When I have days when I might look like a zombie, or just a gloomy one, putting on lipstick makes me feel simply amazing. When I put my lipstick on, I feel like I rule the world. All my lipstick lovers out there, you know what I am talking about, others may consider me crazy or superficial. I don't care! Love me or hate me, this is ME!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In today's post I am beyond excited to show you and talk about my absolute favorite VoxBox received from Influenster so far - <b><i>the Yves Saint Laurent VoxBox</i></b>. If you don't know what Influenster is, let me tell you that <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster</a></span> is an exclusive online community of over 1.5 million social savvy shoppers that stay on top of the latest product news and expert tips, review products, share honest opinions with brands and the</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">community and test products for free based on their social media influence. Sounds exciting, right?</span><br />

If you follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/p/8RGnNelNqP/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, I was teasing you with a sneak peek of the content of this box a while back. Well, inside the black elegant box there were <b>two Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks</b> from the <b><i>Rouge Pur Couture collection</i></b>, one in <b>number 9 </b>- <b><i>”Rose Stiletto”</i></b> and one in <b>number 19</b> - <b><i>”Fuchsia”</i></b>.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To say that I was mega happy and grateful for being chosen from so many great Influenster members out there to test these products is an understatement. Are you kidding me? Lipsticks? Better yet? YSL lipsticks?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a lipstick addict and lover, I am proud to say that I do own a few YSL lipsticks and the quality of these products never failed my expectations. That is why when I want to splurge, YSL is one of my top three brands that I like to go for, definitely deserves every penny of those $36.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The two received lipsticks from the <i style="font-weight: bold;">Rouge Pur Couture collection </i>confirmed what I expected from the brand: <b>high quality</b> all the way through.</span><br />

The<b> Yves Saint Laurent </b><b><i>Rouge Pur Couture</i> </b>lipstick in <b>number 9 </b>- <i style="font-weight: bold;">”Rose Stiletto” is a rich berry rose </i>- the perfect fall shade.

When I first saw the <b>Yves Saint Laurent <i>Rouge Pur Couture</i></b><i> </i>lipstick in <i><b>number 19 - ”Fuchsia”</b></i> - <b><i>magenta purple</i></b> - I said <i>”Wow, now you're talking!”</i>. Having such a fair complexion, you know me, I would never say ”no” to a bold color, because I like rocking a bold lipstick and this one is exactly what I needed. I received so many compliments wearing this lipstick, that one day I was literally walking on sunshine. Need to make a statement? This lipstick is on point!</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en">There are so many temptations out there, so many new launched

<br />
<br />
Știu că sună rău a clișeu, dar credeți-mă pe cuvânt când vă spun că nici nu am realizat bine când m-am pomenit cu luna Octombrie la ușă. Această lună este fără dar și poate luna mea de suflet din două motive: (foarte subiective de altfel!): unul - e cea mai frumoasă lună a toamnei și al doilea - e luna în care îmi sărbătoresc ziua de naștere. Și, cum orice zi de naștere vine cu dorințe, surprize și cadouri, m-am gândit să vă arăt cam ce mi-aș dori eu să primesc de ziua mea. <br />
<br />
Dintre atâtea colecții nou apărute și atâtea tentații mi-a fost tare greu să mă opresc doar la câteva, știți doar cât de nehotărâtă sunt, însă, până la urmă m-am decis.<br />
<br />
Așadar, să descoperim împreună! <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">It has already become a tradition for me every year to get the <b>Sephora Favorites <i>”Give Me More Lip” </i></b>set and this year I couldn't be more excited for. Look at all those lipsticks! I can't wait to play with them!</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;">A devenit deja o tradiție ca în fiecare an să primesc setul de rujuri </span></span><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Sephora Favorites <i>”Give Me More Lip”</i></b>, iar ediția de anul acesta arată într-un mare fel. Uitați-vă și voi la acele frumuseți! De abia aștept să mă joc cu ele!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Brace yourselves, there are a few lipstick sets that are coming next!</span><br />
<br />
Țineți-vă bine, am mai pus ochii pe câteva seturi cu rujuri! <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Last year, I discovered the Kat Von D lipgloss in <i>”Outlaw” </i>and I really liked it, the quality was great, so I would love to try more lip products from her brand. I think the <b>Kat Von D <i>”Mi Vida Loca Remix Studded Kiss Lip”</i></b><i> </i>set is just right what I need.</span><br />
<br />
Anul trecut am descoperit lipglossul în nuanța<i> ”Outlaw” </i>de la Kat Von D și mi-a plăcut tare mult, calitatea este extraordinară, așa că mi-a rămas gândul la produsele ei pentru buze. Mi-ar plăcea să încerc mai multe, iar acest set <b>Kat Von D <i>”Mi Vida Loca Remix Studded Kiss Lip” </i></b>este exact ce am nevoie.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">When I saw this <b>Marc Jacobs Beauty </b>- <i><b>”The Sofia - Five Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Crème Collection” </b></i>- set, it was love at first sight. I've heard so many good things about Marc Jacobs lipsticks that I had to add this on my birthday list too.</span><br />
<br />
Atunci când am văzut setul de la <b>Marc Jacobs Beauty </b>- <i><b>”The Sofia - Five Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Crème Collection” </b></i>a fost dragoste la prima vedere. Am auzit atâtea lucruri bune despre rujurile Marc Jacobs, încât musai a trebuit să adaug și acest set pe listă.<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Lately, I have found another makeup related love - <b>blushes</b> - as I learned how to bring my cheeks to life. I do have a few in my collection, but I'm really dreaming about the luxurious limited edition<b> Hourglass <i>”Ambient Lighting Edit” </i></b>palette. The only thing that is really a setback for me is the price - $80, I don't know if I would like to pay that much for this product.</span><br />
<br />
În ultima vreme am descoperit că am făcut o nouă pasiune pentru un alt produs de machiaj, și anume <b>blushurile</b>. Îmi place atât de mult când obrajii mei prind viață, așa că mi-am creat o mini-colecție. Mi-ar plăcea să adaug colecției mele o piesă luxoasă în ediție limitată de la <b>Hourglass - paleta <i>”Ambient Lighting Edit”</i></b>, însă prețul piperat mă cam ține pe loc $80 (aproximativ 320 lei). <br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Moving on from the makeup/cosmetics related wish list, I think it is time for an upgrade - <b>a new DSLR camera</b>. I had this camera numerous times on my wish lists, but I was postponing because I wasn't sure what should I get. If you do have some suggestions for me regarding a good DSLR camera for beginners, please leave them in the comments section below. It would be greatly appreciated!</span><br />
<br />
Îndepărtându-ne puțin de sfera produselor de machiaj și a cosmeticelor, cred că acum este momentul pentru o nouă cameră foto, și anume <b>o cameră DSLR</b>. Îmi doresc de multă vreme să-mi achiziționez una, dar am tot amânat din simplul motiv că nu am știut pur și simplu ce să aleg. Prieteni într-ale bloggingului și fotografiei, vă rog ajutați-mă! Voi ce aparate folosiți? Ce mi-ați recomanda? V-aș fi foarte recunoscătoare pentru sfaturi!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I love clothing, but this year all I want are some ... <b>PJ's</b>, something cute and girly, something comfy that I can spend my lazy days in and will make my sleep even more enjoyable.</span><br />
<br />
În plac mult și hainele, însă anul acesta îmi doresc doar niște ... <b>pijamale</b> drăguțe și feminine, comode, ceva în ce aș putea să lenevesc toată ziua și în care aș putea să dorm mai bine. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">In the end, I just want to wish to all my beautiful Libras out there a happy and blessed birthday! May your day be full of sunshine, joy and love! </span><br />
<br />
Pe final aș vrea să transmit tuturor Balanțelor mele frumoase de oriunde v-ați afla, un sincer <i>”La Mulți Ani!”</i>. Să aveți parte de o zi minunată, să fiți înconjurate de numai persoane frumoase, multă bucurie, dragoste și cât mai multe dorințe îndeplinite!<br />

Bună tuturor!<br />
<br />
<br />
Am decis în postarea de astăzi să-mi deschid din nou sufletul în fața voastră, să vă vorbesc deschis despre viața mea din ultima vreme, despre blog și alte gânduri ce îmi trec prin minte. Da, am scris postarea în limba română, pentru că așa a început totul și, deși am un public internațional, am preferat să mă adresez astăzi celor care mă citesc în limba mea de origine. Vă invit să vă așezați comod și să mă citiți în cele ce urmează.<br />

<br />
<br />
Stau adeseori și mă gândesc la cei 3 ani de când am început să scriu pe acest blog, timp în care am descoperit atâtea lucruri minunate, oameni cu suflete frumoase, am învățat să acord o mai mare atenție tenului și corpului meu, m-am perfecționat în arta machiajului și nu pot să nu observ că, deși mai am încă foarte multe de spus și de arătat pe blog, locului acesta îi cam lipsesc postările în ultima vreme.<br />
<br />
După cum bine știți, am preferat sa las blogul puțin în umbră atunci când am decis să-mi concentrez majoritatea timpului pe partea profesională și nu regret că am luat această decizie. Sunt foarte recunoscătoare pentru că am posibilitatea de a mă exprima pe acest blog, de a scrie și a vă informa despre diverse produse de frumusețe, și nu numai. Eu am început acest blog din pasiune și pentru că am simțit nevoia că am o părere pertinentă de afirmat, însă de puține ori pasiunile îți dau și de mâncare, pentru că vrând-nevrând cam totul se reduce în ziua de azi la acea <i>”mică roată care învârte lumea toată”</i>. Sunt puține cazuri ce-i drept, și acele persoane au parte de tot respectul meu, unde pasiunile s-au transformat în afaceri de real succes. Și, cum nu m-am născut cu lingură de aur la gură, să stau toată ziua în
vârful patului, să-mi învârt cosițele aurii pe degete, sau să dau
din gene să-mi mai vâre tăticul niște bănuți în cont, sau să stau toată ziua pe Instagram să mă pozez din locuri exotice, și nici într-o țară unde să ți se acorde oportunități reale, am luat-o de la zero într-altă parte și sunt mândră de asta. Aș mai face-o de ”n” ori dacă aș ști că rezultatul este acela pe care mi-l doresc.<br />
<br />
M-am concentrat așadar pe partea profesională și am scris pe blog atunci când am simțit nevoia, de aceea și postările rare din ultima vreme. Nu am să dau vina pe timp (deși aș putea), căci am observat că atunci când vrei cu adevărat, se găsește și timp. Vreau să vă mulțumesc mult de tot tuturor celor care mi-ați scris și m-ați întrebat ce mai fac, aceste gânduri sunt și pentru voi. Poate voi nu știați asta, dar eu sunt un om care pune o mare presiune pe sine. Pregătesc postări și cu câteva săptămâni înainte și dacă nu ies perfect, așa cum îmi doresc, nu le mai public. Am destule astfel de exemple care zac în secțiunea de <i>”Mesaje nefinalizate” </i>a blogului sau le-am șters pur și simplu, refac pozele și de zece ori până captez ceea ce consider a fi esențial, testez, testez și iar testez cu lunile un produs înainte de publica un review, citesc, citesc și iar citesc, mă informez înainte de a scrie despre un produs, eveniment, colecție nouă lansată. Poate că acest perfecționism exagerat al meu mi-a fost mai mult dăunător, decât benefic, și cred că ar fi timpul să nu mai pun atâta presiune pe mine și să o las mai moale. <br />
<br />
Un lucru e sigur, am să vă ofer în continuare păreri sincere și pertinente despre tot ceea ce va apărea pe blog, ca și până acum. Poate voi scrie mai des, poate voi scrie mai rar, dar mereu o voi face din inimă, căci eu scriu atunci când mă simt inspirată pe deplin, când simt că am cu adevărat ceva de spus. Nu am scris și nu voi scrie la comandă, doar să mai umplu spațiu, doar ca să mă aflu în treabă. Timpul este unul de neprețuit și ar fi bine ca fiecare dintre noi să învețe să și-l dozeze mai bine.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vă mulțumesc încă o dată că vă rupeți din timpul vostru să mă urmăriți și citiți!<br />
<br />

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
As we are welcoming a new summer month, August, I was thinking that it is time to show you my summer essentials. It was extremely hard for me to choose from a bunch of products that I use on a daily basis (hey, I am an undecisive Libra, cut me some slack here!), but I named this post <i>”summer essentials” </i>not for nothing and I am planning to stick to those <i>”essentials”</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Zico Premium Coconut Water</b> - it is my favorite drink this summer. I love the fact that it is such a refreshing and healthy drink (650 mg potassium and only 90 calories per bottle). My favorite flavors are <b>Pineapple</b> and <b>Watermelon Raspberry</b>. Don't forget to always stay hydrated!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Now remember, I like to stay hydrated inside my body, but what about outside? This <b>Evian facial spray</b> quickly became my favorite, it helps me keep my face hydrated, fresh and purified, not to mention that it is great for fixing my make-up, or help me calm my iritated skin after shaving my legs. The Evian natural mineral water benefits from a balanced mineral content, it's pH neutral and works great on my sensitive combination skin. As a matter of fact I am using it as we speak.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Maybe you remember <b>the Paula's Choice Hydraligh Shine-Free Daily Mineral Complex (with SPF 30) face cream </b>from <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/10/my-birthday-haul-en.html" target="_blank">my birthday haul</a>, when, after reading so many good reviews about this product, I've decided to purchase it. I am congratulating myself for this decision, because I absolutely love this face cream. Its light texture absorbs easily into my skin, keeping it hydrated, shine-free and protected against the sun every day. It does not apply with stripes and does not makes my skin even whiter, like a ghost, as it happened to me before using other creams that had built in SPF, my skin is smooth and radiant, long story short, it is just perfect for my sensitive combination skin.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>For my body, I like to use <b>the Bioderma ”Invisible mist” Photoderm Bronz with SPF 50. </b>I have tried many products in order to protect my body against the sun damage as I have a very fair skin complexion that burns easily, many moles, freckles, so to me SPF 50 and higher is a must. No product worked as great as this one! It does apply so easy and convenient, it has a discreet smell, does not contain alcohol as many sun-protecting products do<span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"> (hypoallergenic</span><span class="atn">, non-</span><span class="">comedogenic</span>)</span> and has a light, non greasy, non sticky formula that absorbs easily into my skin. Not only my skin is hydrated, but it does offer me that piece of mind knowing my skin is safe and protected against the sun. I am using it all year long, as you may read my post about<a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/09/5-spf-cosmetics-to-consider-for-fall.html" target="_blank"> protecting your skin in the fall and winter</a> too.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Last, but not least - my favorite lip product this summer is<b> the Tarte Lip Surgence lip gloss</b> in <b>the shade <i>”Flush”</i></b>, that I have received it in my <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2015/07/fabfitfun-summer-edition-box-2015-en.html" target="_blank">FabFitFun box</a>. It was hard to choose from so many great products, you know my <strike>addiction </strike>passion for lip products, but this lip gloss is just perfect for summer. It does have the perfect pink shade that matches perfectly my skin tone, it gives me a pop of color with a subtle shine, the formula is a bit tacky, but feels very comfortable on my lips and lasts on me for more than three hours, which is great for a lip gloss. I also love the fact that my lips stay hydrated and soft when I am wearing this product. I just love my <b><i>”Flush” </i></b>lip gloss!</li>
</ul>

Now that you've seen my summer essentials, tell me about yours! Which are those products you've been using the most this summer?<br />

<br />
Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
There is nothing that I love more than a pleasant surprise! Give me a lipstick (yes, I don't ask for more!) and you made me the happiest girl in the city. Give me a box full of goodies and you made me the happiest girl in the world. One afternoon as I exited the elevator, I noticed that something was waiting for me at my door. I was approaching curiously and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the big FabFitFun Summer Box. I need to apologize to my neighbors for all those loud squeaks and weird dancing moves in the hallway, sorry everybody, this is how a kid like me rejoices when receives goodies.<br />
<br />
This was such a wonderful surprise, as I was always wanting to see what's the hype about this box subscription. I have seen this box at my favorite youtubers and I was day dreaming that one day I am gonna try it myself too. And, yes, that day has come.<br />
<br />
If you were wondering,<a href="http://bit.ly/1NZbr29" target="_blank"> FabFitFun</a> is a quarterly box subscription, so you will have the possibility to purchase a box for each season, and as they like to say this box offers <i>”everything a woman needs to feel good
from the inside out: from the latest and greatest in beauty,
fitness, to diet and wellness.</i><br />
<div id="content-area">
<i>Get Fit. Have Fun. Be Fabulous.”</i>
</div>
<br />
As we are in the middle of the summer, let's discover what goodies I have received in my <b>FabFitFun Summer Box</b>!<br />

As I was so excited to try this box for quite some time now, I can truly say that to me this box was a hit as I like all the featured products and find them useful on my daily activities. Whether I am gonna wear that beautiful Wren necklace on an outfit, listen to my favorite music on my cute pink wireless speaker while I'm jumping the rope, wearing that amazing <i>”Sultry”</i> perfume or take care of my dry, frizzy hair using the George spray, wear my summer favorite lip gloss from Tarte, or having fun with nail designs from Scratch Nail Wraps, cleanse my face with the Conjac sponge or hydrate my skin with the Vaseline spray moisturizer, I think this box offers a great combination of beauty/cosmetics, health and fitness accessories at a great value.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you were thinking to buy this box, maybe my post helped you make up your mind. Also, <b>I have a surprise for you</b>. I was offered <b>a $10 off code</b> (I am not <span class="gt-card-ttl-txt" style="direction: ltr;">affiliate with the brand, I do not receive any monetary compensation out of this code), so all you have to do is to head over to <a href="http://bit.ly/1NZbr29" target="_blank">FabFitFun</a> website and enter the <b>code RALLY </b>to <b>save $10 off</b>.

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Hello everybody!</span> Bună tuturor!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Are you ready for another <b><i>”beauty empties”</i> post</b>? It has been a while since <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/10/products-ive-used-up-ii-en-ro.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">my last post</span><span style="color: #a64d79;">,</span></a><span style="color: #a64d79;"> since I</span> haven't showed you what cosmetics I have used up, so don't be scared by what are you going to see in the picture down below. Since I've taken these pictures, more empties are sitting in my basket, waiting anxiously to be photographed and showed to you.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Sunteți pregătiți pentru <b>o nouă serie a</b> <i><b>”produselor consumate”</b></i>? Știu că v-a fost dor să vedeți ce produse am mai consumat. Ce e drept, a cam trecut o vreme de la <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/10/products-ive-used-up-ii-en-ro.html" target="_blank">ultima postare</a></span>, așa că vă rog să nu vă speriați de ceea ce veți vedea în poza de mai jos. Între timp, s-au mai adunat destule astfel de produse care așteaptă cumințele să fie fotografiate și prezentate vouă.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">As you already know, I have organized all my empties into a few categories, it is an easier way for me and hopefully for you as well to better find out more about these products, as I am presenting them to you through a mini-review. </span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Let's begin with the <b>”Face and lip care” </b>category and discover what products I have used up so far!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Așa cum bine știți, ca de fiecare dată, am organizat toate aceste produse pe categorii, m-am gândit că este mai ușor pentru mine, dar și pentru voi să aflați cât mai multe despre aceste produse pe care vi le prezint sub forma unei mini recenzii.<br />
Să începem așadar cu produsele consumate aflate în categoria <b>”Îngrijirii feței și a buzelor”! </b><br />

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The anti-redness make-up removal micellar solution Sensibio H2O AR</b> from <b>Bioderma</b> is a fairly new product to European market (2013). I don't think that there is a human on this Planet that does not know about the famous original version of this product - the Sensibio H2O make-up removal micellar solution. Well, let me put it this way! Any beauty lover out there who likes to take a good care of her skin, needs to try this product. For me, the Sensibio H2O AR version - a product dedicated to </span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="hps">redness</span></span><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;">-prone skin - or you know the situation with my skin - works just beautifully. I use this product daily to clean my face, either I</span></span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;">'m wearing makeup or not. This is a product that has well formulated ingredients, cleans gently, but yet efficiently without leaving any sticky residues and since I have been using it I have noticed a significant reduction of my </span></span></span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">redness</span></span>, not to mention that it's perfect for removing your eyes makeup as well (yes, it is that gentle with my eye area). I must review it in detail for you guys!</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The mini Beautiful Skin set</b> from <b>No. 7</b> (European brand that you can find it at Target) had 3 mini products dedicated to normal/ oily skin like <b>a cleansing water</b>, <b>a day cream with SPF 15</b> and <b>a night cream.</b> I must confess, I did like these products and I was quite impressed with them. You need to know that these are hypo-allergenic products with a discreet smell that immediately adapted to my skin's needs. Even though these were just some tiny samples, I did get a good use out of them. The cleansing water left my skin clean and fresh, the face creams offered me a good amount of hydration without overcharging it (these creams have a light texture that absorbes into your skin right away).</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The Apivita 24h moisturizing cream with chaste tree & honey</b> is an older ”friend” of mine which I have presented you on <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/05/products-ive-used-up-i-en-ro.html" target="_blank">my first <i>”Products I've used up”</i> post</a> and turned out to be a real surprise for me, because it worked very well on my
combination skin, even though it's recommended for normal/dry skin. What I've loved about this product is the fact that I was given the exact hydration that my skin needed without feeling my forehead and chin areas greasy. </span><b> </b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The anti-aggressions 24 hr antioxidant shield serum </b>from<b> Yves Rocher </b> is a product designed to protect and fight against environmental agressions, which oxidise the skin, with innovative ingredients like <i><b>Moringa peptides</b></i>. I have used this product mainly on my nightly skin care routine, this is a very light and hydrating product that did not </span><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;">overcharge my skin. When I woke up every morning, I felt my skin fresh, revitalized and I noticed that some of my fine lines were smoothed out. If you can get your hands on this product, this is definitely an absolute recommendation.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">I have used <b>the</b> <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><b><span class="hps">Nivea</span> <span class="hps">refreshing</span> <span class="hps">cleansing</span> </b><span class="hps"><b>wipes</b> to remove my makeup or any impurities gathered on my daily activities. I must confess, I am not a big fan of cleansing wipes, therefore I use them quite rarely. Although Nivea it's a brand that I love, these refreshing cleasing wipes were not to my liking. Even though these products were created for normal and combination skin types, I felt these a bit too harsh on my sensitive combination skin and my face was not deeply cleansed, I had to come later on with another product to remove the makeup residues.</span></span></span></li>

<li><b>Soluția micelară Sensibio H2O AR</b> de la <b>Bioderma</b> este un produs relativ nou pe piața europeană (anul 2013). Nu cred că este om pe Planetă care să nu fi aflat de faimoasa soluție micelară Sensibio H2O - varianta originală. Bine, reformulez! Orice persoană care are grijă de tenul ei ar trebui să cunoască acest produs. Pentru mine, versiunea Sensibio H2O AR - un produs formulat pentru pielea dispusă la roșeață - ori voi știți deja situația cu tenul meu - funcționează de minune, folosesc acest produs zilnic pentru a-mi curăța fața, fie că port machiaj sau nu. Este un produs bine formulat, ce imi curăță delicat, dar eficient tenul, fără a lăsa urme lipicioase, mi-a redus semnificativ roșeața, este perfect chiar și pentru machiajul ochilor, căci nu irită deloc sensibila zonă oculară. Trebuie să-i fac un review detaliat pe blog!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Mini setul Beautiful Skin</b> de la <b>No. 7</b> a conținut 3 produse dedicate tenului normal, dar și celui gras, și anume: <b>o apă demachiantă</b>, <b>o cremă de zi cu SPF 15</b> și <b>una de noapte</b>. Drept să vă spun aceste produse mi-au fost pe plac și mi-au lăsat o impresie foarte bună. Sunt produse hipoalergenice, cu miros discret, care au făcut față cu brio tenului meu capricios, și, în ciuda gramajului de mostră testat, am reușit să le folosesc destul de bine și să-mi fac o idee despre ele. În timp ce apa demachiantă mi-a lăsat tenul curat și proaspăt, cremele pentru față mi-au hidratat în profunzime tenul, fără să-l încarce (textura lor este una foarte lejeră, care se absoarbe imediat în piele).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Crema de față hidratantă Apivita cu vitex și miere</b> este o ”prietenă” mai veche de-a mea, pe care am mai prezentat-o și în<span style="color: #a64d79;"> <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/05/products-ive-used-up-i-en-ro.html" target="_blank">prima postare a produselor consumate</a></span> și care s-a dovedit a
fi un produs care mi-a priit, deși este o cremă destinată pielii normale/ uscate. Ce mi-a plăcut mult la acest produs a fost faptul că i-a oferit tenului meu hidratarea de care avea nevoie fără să mă trezesc că pot prăji un ochi pe frunte sau în zona bărbiei.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Serumul antioxidant 24 ore</b> de la <b>Yves Rocher</b> este un produs care vine să apere tenul de agresiunile din mediul înconjurător și are la bază ingrediente din plante, precum <b><i>peptidele Moringa</i></b>. Eu l-am folosit cu precădere în cadrul rutinei mele de seară, este un produs care nu încarcă tenul și se absoarbe cu ușurință în piele. Când mă trezeam în fiecare dimineață îmi simțeam fața revitalizată, fresh și am observat că unele linii fine fuseseră netezite. Un produs foarte bun pe care vi-l recomand!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Șervețelele demachiante revigorante Nivea</b> le-am folosit cu precădere la îndepărtarea machiajului și a impurităților adunate de peste zi. Trebuie să recunosc, nu sunt un mare fan al șervețelelor demachiante, drept urmare nici nu le prea folosesc decât foarte rar. Aceste produse, deși se adresează tenului normal și mixt, nu au fost pe placul meu. Nu am simțit că fața mi-a fost curățată în profunzime și mi s-au părut prea agresive cu tenul meu sensibil.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Un ultim produs consumat din această categorie a fost <b>balsamul de buze Nivea</b>. Iubesc balsamurile de buze Nivea, am o întreagă colecție. Acest produs are rolul de a calma pielea sensibilă a buzelor și de a o proteja cu ajutorul factorului de protecție solară SPF 15 (primește o steluță aurie din partea mea). Am iubit acest produs și l-am folosit până la ultima picătură. </li>

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The</b> <b>eye contour cream </b>from<b> Naturalis</b> - a European brand that my mom introduced me to a while back - was a very pleasant surprise for me. I can say that this product is like a hidden gem that awaits to be discovered. It was nice to see on the ingredients' list natural rose water that smelled divine, avocado oil, the coenzyme Q10, but also wheat proteins and hyaluronic acid. I loved, loved this product until its last drop, I would have wanted to last me forever, I felt my under eyes area so hydrated and radiant.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><b>Crema contur ochi </b>de la<b> Naturalis</b> s-a dovedit a fi o plăcută surpriză pentru mine. Mama mi-a făcut cunoștință cu acest brand care se găsește ce-i drept doar în unele farmacii de profil și mi-a plăcut foarte mult. Pot spune că acest produs este ca o piatră prețioasă ce așteaptă să fie descoperită. Am fost plăcut impresionată să descopăr pe lista de ingrediente, apa naturală de trandafir care miroase divin, ulei de avocado, coenzima Q10, dar și proteine din grâu și acid hialuronic. Am iubit acest produs până la ultima picătură și nu aș mai fi vrut să se termine, căci îmi simțeam zona ochilor hidratată și radiantă.</li>

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The EKOS natura brasil body lotion with maracuja</b> and <b>pitanga</b> was gifted to me by a friend. This happened to be her favorite brand. She told me: <i>”Try this and you will see why I love it so much!” </i>This brand was completely new to me so I had to do my research about it. I've found out that ”<i>Natura Ekos is a range of body care products and perfumes directly
inspired by the ancestral traditions of Brazilian populations. Natura Ekos - looks after yourself and the world around you.” </i>Now I know why my friend loved this product so much - smells amazing - you just feel like you are in paradise, surrounded by exotic fruits, not to mention that the smell persists for days, hydrates well and it is very gentle on your skin. More paradise please!</span></li>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span></ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">This <b>cooling gel </b>from<b> Titania</b> - European brand from Germany - was a real blessing for my tired feet or just for cooling them down on a steamy day. Discovered in 2012, this is a product that I keep repurchasing it. If you do not like <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">menthol this product may not be for you, because it is very strong.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">I have told you before - I am a big fan of <b>the Degree deodorants</b> (in Europe these are named <i>”Rexona”</i>), I have been using them since I can remember. I know these are not the healthiest choice out there, but for me they are the only ones that did work well so far. A tube usually lasts me about a month and a half - two moths. I love the fact that it keeps my armpits dry and fresh, and I am always protected even when I am constantly working out, without any white marks on my clothing.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">That <b>blue Nivea tin can </b>does not require any more details. We all know it, we all love it! I grew up with this product, you will always find it in my purse when I need to hydrate my hands, lips or elbows on-the-go. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The I love ... lemon & limes body butter</b> (European brand that you can find at Ulta) is deliciously amazing. I was always anxiously waiting to finish my bath to pamper myself with this product. Its rich, creamy, buttery texture hydrates deeply and leaves your skin soft for days, not to mention that those citrusy accords will charge and revitalize your senses right away. It is a well loved and repurchased product.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The Balea shaving foam with Argan oil</b>, Mom sent it to me a while back from Europe, she knew I did love this product. You can only find it in DM, an European drugstore and it's a very good and affordable product. It does have a discreet smell, it was very gentle on my sensitive skin, has no harsh chemicals and lasted me a good amount of time (4 months). What I did not like about this product was the fact that the cap released too much foam at every use and this happened pretty much with every tube I have bought.</span></li>

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;">Am descoperit<b> loțiunea de corp cu maracuja și pitanga </b>de la<b> EKOS natura brasil </b>prin intermediul unei prietene. Îmi tot povestea cât de mult îi place acest brand și cât de minunate sunt produsele lor, și pentru că mă înnebunise cu aceste produse, m-a cadorosit și pe mine cu această loțiune. Fiind un produs complet nou pentru mine m-am documentat puțin și am aflat că acest brand lucrează îndeaproape cu comunitățile locale din Brazilia </span></span><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="ro"><span class="hps">pentru a crea produse cu texturi și arome unice, totul bazându-se pe principiul dezvoltării durabile și al armoniei depline în co-existența om-natură. După ce am folosit acest produs, am înțeles și eu de ce e atât de lăudat: mirosul e absolut divin, parcă ești transportat într-o vacanță tropicală, să nu vă mai spun că persistă zile întregi, loțiunea pătrunde ușor în piele și hidratează tare bine. </span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Gelul răcoritor pentru picioare </b>de la <b>Titania</b> m-a ajutat mult să-mi revitalizez picioarele obosite. Acest produs l-m descoperit în anul 2012 când am avut ocazia să îl testez pentru prima dată, și, de atunci a rămas printre favorite. Aflați mai multe despre acest produs citind această <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2012/07/review-produse-pentru-ingrijirea.html" target="_blank">postare</a>.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;">Cred că știți deja, eu sunt o<b> mare fană a deodorantelor Rexona</b> pe care le-am folosit de când mă știu. Cu atâtea arome la îndemână e și greu să te abții. Sunt conștientă că nu reprezintă cea mai sănătoasă metodă, dar, pentru mine aceste deodorante s-au dovedit a fi singurele care mi-au fost de real ajutor. Folosesc un deodorant cam într-o lună jumate-două luni. Ce îmi place la aceste produse este faptul că îmi asigură protecția și prospețimea de care am nevoie pe durata întregii zile în lupta împotriva transpirației, fără a lăsa urme albe; fac față chiar și unei sesiuni istovitoare de zumba.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Cutiuța albastră Nivea</b> nu cred că mai are nevoie de nicio prezentare. O știm și o iubim cu toții. Eu am crescut cu acest produs, așa că o astfel de cutiuță vei găsi mereu la mine în geantă, pentru a-mi hidrata, după nevoie, mâinile, buzele sau coatele.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Untul de corp I love ... cu arome de lămâie și limes</b> este de-a dreptul delicios. Mereu așteptam cu nerăbdare după fiecare baie momentul în care urma să-mi răsfăț simțurile cu acest produs. Consistența lui cremoasă hidratează în profunzime și lasă pielea fină, hidratată zile întregi, să nu mai spun de acele arome fructate care îți și încarcă și revitalizează simțurile de fată. Ce mai, un produs iubit pe care l-am tot cumpărat și cumpărat. </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Spuma de ras cu ulei de Argan Balea</b> a ajuns la mine prin intermediul mamei care știe că este un produs pe care l-am folosit cu regularitate când eram acasă. Pe lângă faptul că este un produs ieftin (aproximativ 8 lei, o găsiți la DM), nu conține siliconi, parabeni, uleiuri minerale sau coloranți, are un miros discret și este foarte delicată cu pielea mea sensibilă. M-a ținut o bună bucată de timp (4 luni). Ce nu mi-a plăcut la acest produs a fost faptul că nu se putea doza optim cantitatea de produs folosită, la fiecare aplicare ieșea prea multă spumă din tub (am pățit-o cu aproape fiecare tub folosit). </span></span></li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">As you can see from the picture above, <b>Neutrogena</b> really rocked my hand care routine. All three products did wonderfully for my dry hands, offering me a much needed long lasting hydration day-by-day. I really enjoyed the <b>Neutrogena fast absorbing hand cream</b>, its light texture and non greasy formula absorbed immediately into my skin, while the other two had a more concentrated formula, so you just need a tad of product, but you have to work it a little to get the cream into your skin.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The mini Protect & Perfect hand cream with SPF 15</b> from <b>No. 7</b> (European brand that you can find it at Target) proved to be a great moisturiser that my hands really loved it. I really liked the fact that it does have built-in SPF 15. I am looking now to buy it at its regular size.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;">Așa cum veți putea observa din poza de mai sus, un brand care și-a spus cuvântul atunci când vine vorba despre rutina mea de îngrijire a mâinilor este <b>Neutrogena</b>. Toate cele trei creme m-au ajutat enorm, eu am mâinile foarte uscate, așa că mereu trebuie să fiu în gardă și să le hidratez corespunzător. Folosind aceste creme, mi-a fost oferită hidratare de lungă durată zi de zi. Preferata mea a fost varianta <b>Neutrogena cremă de mâini cu absorbție rapidă</b>, a cărei textură lejeră și formulă non-grasă s-au absorbit imediat în piele, lăsând-o catifelată și hidratată. Celelalte două variante au o formulă mai concentrată, așadar nu trebuie aplicată o cantitate mare de produs, formulă asupra căreia trebuie insistat a fi masată mai îndelung în piele.</span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class=""><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Mostra cremei de mâini Protect & Perfect cu SPF 15</b> de la <b>No. 7</b> s-a dovedit a fi un produs excelent pe care mâinile mele l-au iubit. O bilă albă pentru factorul de protecție solară pe care îl conține. Acum intenționez să o cumpăr în varianta normală.</span> </span></span></span></li>

Am observat o îmbunătățire vizibilă a texturii părului - mai puține vârfuri despicate, păr mai hidratat și mai moale, ușor de descurcat, dar și o diminuare vizibilă a firelor de păr căzute la pieptănarea zilnică. </li>

<span style="color: #a64d79;">I really hope you sticked around until the end of this long post. I am curious to find out if you did try any of these products too. How did they work for you?</span><br />
<br />
Sper că ați rezistat eroic până la finalul acestei lungi postări. Sunt curioasă dacă și voi ați încercat aceste produse sau măcar o parte dintre ele. S-au dovedit a fi pe placul vostru sau nu?<br />

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
Today, I am going to take you with me in a virtual perfumed journey that will fill up your soul with joy and you will wish it never ends. I am happy to report that I am back on the blog and I am planning to write here constantly, as I was writing before all this beautiful crazy career/ professional adventure has started a while ago.<br />
<br />
If you read my blog, then you most likely know that I was dreaming about the <b>Bath and Body Works products</b> for long time, as they do not have any stores in my country and it was so hard to get them. I was waiting and waiting, you know what they say: <i>”Good things come for those who wait”</i>, and finally when I moved to the States, I was able to get my hands on these amazing products.<br />
<br />
So, over the past two years, I have developped a strong and steady relationship with this brand and I have a few products that I absolutely love. I was thinking to show them to you today, hoping that we'll share the same love and interest or this will help you make up your mind next time when you are planning to purchase some goodies from them.<br />
<br />
Here are my top 5 products from Bath and Body Works that I love and recommend!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Let me tell you that I cannot imagine my bath without some bubbles. Oh, yes! Love me some bubbles! Now, before you call me spoiled or frivolous, let me tell you that this is my way to escape from a stressful day and collect my thoughts, meditate. I don't splurge very often, sometimes twice a week due to my busy schedule, so the daily shower routine is on the schedule, besides I like to be environmentally conscious and save up some water. When I do sit down in my tub and put those bubbles to work, that is my worry free zone.<br />
<br />
My two absolute favorite <b>bubble baths</b> from Bath and Body Works are <i><b>Japanesse Crerry Blossom</b></i> and <b><i>Paris Amour</i></b>. These products are just great! They do make your baths magical, not to mention that the bubbles and the fragrance last throughout the entire bath, without fading away.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>The Japanese Cherry Blossom bubble bath</b> was the first product that I knew I am gonna get. When I was thinking about Bath and Body Works this product always, but always came to my mind. Using it for my bubble bath splurges, I was transported in a far away land, an intriguing and modern one, rich in history and traditions. I am planning to visit Japan one day, but for now I can dream a little about it. <br />
<br />
<b>The Paris Amour bubble bath</b> was my second choice. When I entered in the Bath and Body Works store for the first time it was such a magical experience, I was running from product to product to smell them, to check them out, just like a <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">thirsty</span> <span class="hps">bee</span> for <span class="hps">pollen (or just a crazy person!)</span></span>, but I could not decide which products to choose (you know me - such an undecisive Libra) and smelling the products seemed not to help. I wanted them all! Oh, my dear Paris! When you add a magical drop of this product to your bath, it's like a cute French guy take you by the hand and walks you through those chic Paris streets. You can smell the romance in the air. Oh, la la! This scent is so playful! <br />
<br />
<b>The fragrance mist Twilight Woods</b> smells AMAZING! Yes, I know at this point it's an understatement to say this, but it was love at first smell that quickly became my go-to fragrance. This scent is so ME! Somehow recalls me of Autumn - the month when I was born - it reminds me of an oriental scent mixed with sweet memories, not to mention that every time I am wearing it, I receive so many compliments. I have a very sensitive skin and not all the scents do last on me, but this one is there the entire day. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
All these three products are part of the Bath and Body Works <b>permanent collection</b>, you may find that they are changing their packaging from time to time. <br />
<br />
Let's discover some body lotions, shall we?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-lchRpOeWBBPtWN9iT9uFRDox37NI848gMS69Wt6K6gtQIqsRerrTPE3WAZl8FgOoKMpj9_RG2q2UuepF_PEpW5z5c-bK_DYa2dO7ckWUorRvQl1GHUfPxwi5rkDvBBp_zd8S-R92DdI/s1600/Tokyo+Lotus+Apple+Blossom+and+Morocco+Orchid+Pink+Amber+body+lotions+-+Bath+and+Body+Works.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bath and Body Works, body care, body lotion, cosmetics" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-lchRpOeWBBPtWN9iT9uFRDox37NI848gMS69Wt6K6gtQIqsRerrTPE3WAZl8FgOoKMpj9_RG2q2UuepF_PEpW5z5c-bK_DYa2dO7ckWUorRvQl1GHUfPxwi5rkDvBBp_zd8S-R92DdI/s1600/Tokyo+Lotus+Apple+Blossom+and+Morocco+Orchid+Pink+Amber+body+lotions+-+Bath+and+Body+Works.jpg" title="Tokyo Lotus Apple Blossom and Morocco Orchid Pink Amber body lotions - Bath and Body Works" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>The Tokyo Lotus and Apple Blossom body lotion</b> came as a natural decision for purchasing after falling in love with the Japanese Cherry Blossom bubble bath. You can tell I am atracted to these Oriental scents. This body lotion feels so good on my skin, it hydrates well and the scent persists even after 3-4 days on my PJ's. It does smell so majestic and feels very luxurious on my skin. It's like I am completely transported in the feudal <i>”Shogun” </i>era where I am witnessing the passing of the inner and outer wisdom beauty ritual. <br />
<br />
<b>The Morocco Orchid and Pink Amber</b> is another body lotion that I love. I don't know if you know this about me, but I am absolutely fascinated with the Moroccan culture and I would really want to experiment it closely. When I saw this product, I did not even think twice, I had to have it. So, moving towards the African grounds, its fruity-floral smell (given by the mixture of <span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Marrakesh orchid, but also
sweet in the same time - apricots, amber, vanilla and fig) </span></span></span></span>takes me to a fabulous trip to Morocco, where I get to unveil the beauty of this place, just like those beautiful Moroccan vails, it intrigues you, it challenges you to guess and dream and them step by step you get to see the whole beauty that was hiding underneath. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, these two last scents are <b>not part of their permanent collection</b>, but if do you see them, I am absolutely recommending you to buy them.<br />
<br />
<br />
My dear readers, I thank you for being my travel companions and really hope you enjoyed as much as I did this perfumed journey.<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you love Bath and Body Works products as much as I do? Which ones are your favorites?<br />

Hello everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
Long time no see my dear friends, but you were always in my thoughts. There comes a time in your life when
you need to step back and set up your priorities, so I took the liberty
to take a break from blogging and think things through. I wasn't completely away from the beauty world, because I was reading my favorite blogs, buying and testing new products and I constantly informed myself about beauty and lifestyle related news, as I was
planning to come back on the blog. As you may know, on<i><b> January 23rd</b></i> my blog had its <i><b>3 years anniversary</b></i> and I decided to <i>”dress”</i> it up a little with new clothes - so you may have noticed my new banner, a completely new design and layout. I really hope you like it, as I was striving for a clean, professional look, but yet friendly and cute, easy to read. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your continuous support and patience! I AM BACK!!!<br />
<br />
In today's post you will discover <b>the Refresh VoxBox</b> from <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.influenster.com/" target="_blank">Influenster</a></span> - an exclusive online community where tastemakers and trendsetters come to share the latest and greatest news, places,
products, and reviews with each other. This was the first box received in 2015 and it was full of goodies. As you can see in the pictures down below there was a pretty good selection of products, from cosmetics, to food/ snacks and oral hygiene. <br />
<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>The<b> Beanitos Chips</b> - claim to be <i>”</i><span data-reactid=".0.0.1.0.0:0:2.0.2.2"><i>America's newest superfood”</i>, full of fibers and proteins, free of preservatives, gluten-free and non-GMO. Let me say that the <i>”Nacho Cheese” </i>flavor quickly became my favorite snack, it was so savory and crunchy and I devoured it in no time.</span> Beanitos Chips cost $3.49/ bag.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The <b>Skinnygirl Tasty Nutrition Bar</b> - is the perfect snack for your purse and afternoon cravings. I've got the<b> Banana Oatmeal Dark Chocolate flavor</b>
and it was absolutely delicious. Can't think about a better combination
than that! With 150 calories, 7g of proteins and 5g of fiber, it kept
me going through the day. One bar is $1.49.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The<b> Orgain Certified Organic Nutritional Shake</b> - this product has an interesting concept, it was formulated to provide <i>”nourishment on-the-go”</i>
for active people. I received a $3.99 coupon for a free shake and I set
my eyes on the Creamy Chocolate Fudge flavoring, but unfortunately I
could not find it anywhere and I tried at a few local Wal-Marts,
Targets and Walgreens. If you see them, please let me know! An Orgain
Nutritional Shake is usually between $3-$4 each.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The <b>COVERGIRL UltraSmooth Foundation</b> - I was very excited to discover this new foundation among this VoxBox's goodies. I have received the shade <i>820 Creamy Natural</i> and I had the chance to play a little bit with this product. To give you an idea - the foundation comes with an unique applicator which I am not a big fan of, it's blendable and has a good coverage without looking cakey. A more in depth review about the COVERGIRL UltraSmooth Foundation will appear soon on the blog. This new foundation costs between $12.99-$16.99.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The<b> L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream</b> - I am so happy that L'Occitane came up with a light version of their well known and loved cream.This product is perfect for my sensitive combination skin - it<span style="font-size: small;">s </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span data-reactid=".c.0.1.0.1.0.0.1.0.0.0:0.1.2:1.$text0:0:$text1:0">light, non-greasy formula (which contains 5% shea butter) absorbs quickly into my skin, leaving it
hydrated and comfortable all day long. If this face cream would have had a SPF at least 30 it would have been a dream come true for me. Depending on its weight </span></span></span>the L'Occitane Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream costs $5 for 8ml or $28 for 50ml.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The<b> Montagne Jeunesse Face Masque</b> - now I know this brand quite well and I can say that I love their masques. Every time when I feel the need of a small pampering session I put a Montagne Jeunesse masque on. I tried the <b>Black Seaweed Peel Off masque</b>, and If I may looked like a sea monster, my face sure does love it, because I felt my skin clean and hydrated. Only $1.49 for this product, a real bargain.</li>

<ul>
<li>The <b>DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks</b> (for adults) - I am a flossing freak, so those were just coming in handy. They are gentle, yet effective and I am very happy to have tried them. They cost $1.39.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The <b>DenTek Fun Flossers</b> (for kids) - my inner child really enjoyed the wild fruit flavoring while using these little samples. Depending on how many you get in a pack they cost between $2.19 and $3.39.</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hello everybody!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">It's Friday and I am sure you have planned something fun for this weekend. Myself, I have a few things planned, I am just hoping that the weather will be much nicer, right now in Miami is quite gloomy and rainy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you all may know, on the beautiful <b>16th of October</b> I've turned (yet again!) 21 years old (who cares about my real age, deep down I still feel like 21) and I was fortunate enough to receive some cosmetic goodies. I know you all love HAUL posts, personally these kind of posts are my favorites, so I was thinking to show you what I have received and I spoiled on.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">By all means, I don't want to brag about these gifts, so if you don't like this type of articles, please do not read mine. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though I was working that day, I had so many wonderful moments that I will keep deep in my heart and cherish for ever. My colleagues surprised me with sweet treats and sang me <i>”Happy Birthday”</i>, my fiancé expected me with dinner and gifts and I received so many beautiful and kind messages from all over the world, friends and family that I am so fortunate to have in my life. During the weekend I received more gifts and I couldn't be hapier. I am so grateful for everything that is happening in my life!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let's get down to the goodies, shall we? </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was so excited about this gift that my fiancé surprised me with - I absolutely love these sets from Sephora called<i><b> </b></i><i><b>”Sephora Favorites”</b></i>. I actually have last year's edition too of the <i><b>”Give Me More Lip” set</b></i> and I am planning to review both sets for you soon on the blog. This set is the absolute perfect gift for any lipstick lover out there. On this occasion, I received <b>the mini-treats set</b> from <b>Make Up For Ever</b> and three samples.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The Revlon Lip Butter lipstick</b> has quite a story. I have been wanting this shade <i><b>”Berry Smoothie”</b></i> for a while, but somehow I couldn't find it. It happened that I was at my local Wal-Mart for a quick, last minute shopping trip a few days before my birthday and I saw the shade and wanted to buy it, but he scolded me that I already have so many lipsticks (and he is ABSOLUTELY right!), that I don't need it, so I felt guilty and didn't buy it. I didn't realize at that time that he was carefully planning something.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">When he gave me the gift, I could not believe it - the Revlon Lip Butter was there. I was so happy, I was hopping like a kid (my absolute normal and natural reaction when I receive lipsticks). Be careful ladies, your partners are paying much more attention that we might think!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">My very good friend from New York, Mădălina, sent me <b>a surprise package </b>for my birthday full of European sweet goodies, among them my absolute favorite Milka chocolate which is so hard to find here in the US, <b>makeup from Elf</b> and <b>Tarte</b> and <b>a gorgeous pair of <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">earrings</span></span></b>.

She quite spoiled me, I was not at all expecting so many things. Thank you so much my sweet friend!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en">Also in the picture down below you are going to see <b>a purple satin pouch full with Tarte sample goodies</b>. Funny story - I've met this pretty lady at work and she was wearing a gorgeous lipstick, so I had to ask her about it. She was so nice and she told me that the lipstick was from Tarte. We talked about cosmetics and beauty, I told her that I have a beauty blog, she told me that she's a Tarte representative and gave me these goodies to try. I was so happy, especially because I haven't tried so many Tarte products!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">Hello everybody!</span> Bună tuturor!<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">As we enter in a new month - my favorite Autumn month - October - it is time for me to show you another <b><i>”beauty empties”</i> post</b>. As you can see from the picture down below, I have used up quite a few beauty items, a mix between European and American products, that I can't wait to share them with you.</span><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
Începem luna Octombrie cu <b>o nouă postare</b> <b>din seria <i>”produselor consumate”</i></b>. După cum veți putea observa din poza de mai jos, s-au strâns suficiente produse care așteaptă să vă capteze atenția. Așa cum v-am obișnuit, vă voi prezenta un mix de produse europene și americane pe care le-am folosit până la ultima picătură.<br />

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>The Aqua Treatment Balancing Toner</b> from <b>Capra Nera</b> - oh, how much did I love this product. Capra Nera is a European brand made in Switzerland. This product wowed me completely and I have used it until its last drop, one of the best toners I have used so far. It was perfect for my sensitive combination skin. Believe it or not this product lasted me a whole year and I was using it daily.</span> </li>
</ul>
<ul><span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>

I loved using this product, as you can see I have already finished two tubes. I have saved in my blog's drafts the review for this face cream, so stay tuned this month for the review. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul><span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">Another product from <b>Bioderma</b> that I love is the <b>Mattifying Sun Fluid </b><b>Photoderm AKN Mat with SPF 30 </b>-<b> </b>my every day go-to face cream which I have mentioned it in the <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/09/5-spf-cosmetics-to-consider-for-fall.html" target="_blank">”</a><a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/09/5-spf-cosmetics-to-consider-for-fall.html" target="_blank">5 SPF cosmetics to consider for fall and winter</a>” article here on the blog and I am planning to review it for you guys soon.</span> </li>

</span>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">As you all know already, my guilty pleasure are the lip products, so, yes, I have a ton of <b>lip balms</b> too. One of my favorites is <b>Nivea Hydro Care</b>, this is such a smooth product, it feels so light on the lips and provides long lasting hydration. It is perfect as a lipstick base too. Be careful with the lip balms, you might get addicted! Here is an old article on my blog about lip balm addiction - read it - ”<a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2012/05/are-you-addicted-to-lip-balm-ro-en.html" target="_blank">Are you addicted to lip balm?</a>”.</span></li>

<li><b>Loțiunea tonică</b> din <b>gama Aqua Treatment </b>de la <b>Capra Nera</b> - a fost un produs iubit și folosit până la ultimul strop, un produs de care am fost foarte mulțumită, pot spune - cea mai bună loțiune tonică folosită până acum. Acest produs spornic mi-a reîmprospătat și revitalizat tenul sensibil și mixt. Poate nu o să vă vină să credeți ceea ce vă voi spune, dar acest produs, deși folosit zilnic m-a ținut 1 an de zile (da, ați citit bine!). Dacă sunteți curioși să aflați mai multe despre produsele Capra Nera din gama Aqua Treatment, vă invit să citiți acest<span style="color: purple;"> <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2013/08/review-aqua-treatment-cleansing-gel-and.html" target="_blank">review</a></span>.</span> </li>

<li><b>Crema de față Photoderm AKN Mat</b> cu <b>SPF 30 </b>de la <b>Bioderma </b>- este crema de care nu mă lipsesc nici măcar o zi.

<li>Știți deja că plăcerea mea vinovată se referă la produsele pentru buze. Pentru mine îngrijirea acestora e sfântă așa că nu-mi lipsește <b>balsamul de buze</b>. Unul dintre preferatele mele este <b>Nivea Hydro Care</b> - un balsam care se simte atât de fin, delicat și ușor pe buze, dar care oferă o hidratare de durată. Este perfect și ca bază pentru aplicarea rujului. Aveți grijă însă cu balsamurile de buze, se poate ajunge foarte ușor la adicție. Vă las link-ul unui articol mai vechi, citiți-l să vedeți dacă și voi sunteți dependente de balsamul de buze -<span style="color: purple;"> ”<a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2012/05/are-you-addicted-to-lip-balm-ro-en.html" target="_blank">Are you addicted to lip balm?</a>”</span>.</li>

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">In my search for a good shampoo that can bring my curls back (long live humidity!) and get me rid off frizz and dandruff (long live hard water!), I have bought a lot of products, I have 5 opened shampoos, but none of those helped me as I expected. I managed to finish this <b>Moisture Renewal shampoo </b>from <b>Pantente</b>, a product that offered me hydration, but did not wowed me.</span> </li>
</ul>
<ul><span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">I have found my ally in the battle against dandruff in a Romanian product that I am so proud of -<b> the Anti Dandruff shampoo with </b><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>Ichtyol </b>from <b>Gerovital Plant - Farmec</b> - I saw results from the first usage and it is now part of my hair care routine.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>În această perioadă am început să folosesc mai multe șampoane (am vreo 5 șampoane încercate, nu exagerez!) în căutarea celui care mă va scăpa de mătreață și a-mi oferi buclele de odinioară. Am reușit să termin acest <b>șampon </b>de la <b>Pantene </b>- <b>Moisture Renewal </b>- un șampon ok, mi-a oferit hidratare părului, dar nu m-a dat pe spate. </li>
</ul>
<ul>

<li><span style="color: #a64d79;">I was able to finish this humongous <b>body lotion with Shea Butter</b> from <b>Jergens</b> - and let me tell you that I was very impressed with it.

<li>Am reușit să termin uriașa <b>loțiune de corp cu Unt de Shea</b> de la <b>Jergens</b> - un produs de care am rămas plăcut impresionată și am fost foarte mulțumită - hidratează în profunzime, oferă o hidratare de durată, are un miros minunat și, în plus este foarte accesibilă ca preț. Cu siguranță, acest produs se va mai regăsi în coșul meu de cumpărături. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Gelul de duș cu ceai verde și lămâie</b> de la <b>Sephora</b> este preferatul meu de ceva vreme, așa că am avut un mic stoc de geluri de duș. Să tot fi aruncat câteva ambalaje până am ajuns să scriu această postare. Cert este că acesta e ultimul, vi-l recomand și vouă, e fresh și vă va revigora simțurile pe dată cu fiecare utilizare. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Momentul meu de răsfăț după o zi grea de muncă nu se poate concepe fără un <b>spumant de baie cu arome jucăușe</b>, iar acest produs <b>cu floare de cireș japoneză</b> de la <b>Bath and Body Works</b> s-a aflat pe lista mea de ceva vreme.
Așteptarea a meritat, căci mi-a depășit expectanțele - miroase divin te
poartă cu gândul la îndepărtata Japonie, modernă și futuristă, plină de
culoare și mister, pe care mi-ar plăcea să o vizitez într-o bună zi. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Deodorantul stick Lady Speed Stick cu frezie sălbatică</b> a fost o surpriză plăcută pentru mine. Nu mai folosisem acest brand de foarte multă vreme, eu sunt fan Rexona și am vrut să-l încerc. Pe lângă faptul că m-a ținut o veșnicie (3 luni jumătate cu utilizare zilnică!), nu a lăsat urme albe și am avut mereu subrațul uscat și protejat împotriva transpirației. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Varianta mini (50 ml) a<b> untului de corp cu extract de bergamotă </b>de la <b>Boots</b> am folosit-o pentru îngrijirea mâinilor și a călcâielor. Miroase extraordinar, pătrunde ușor în piele și oferă o hidratare de durată. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Ultimul produs este unul pentru <b>îngrijirea unghiilor</b> - <b>tratamentul 4 în 1 de la Flormar</b> (acționează ca și bază, întăritor pentru unghii, tratament pentru creșterea unghiilor și top coat) - un produs care mi-a plăcut și mi-a ajutat mult unghiile, costă doar 10 lei și atât vă spun, merită încercat.</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bună tuturor!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Revin azi cu un nou review pe blog, de data aceasta al unui produs românesc - poate v-ați întrebat dacă nu cumva am uitat limba română după atâtea articole scrise în limba engleză. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">În cele ce urmează veți putea citi despre <b>Șamponul antimătreață cu ichtiol din gama Gerovital Plant, Farmec</b>. Dacă vă aduceți aminte <a href="http://www.rallysbeautyhighway.com/2014/03/in-my-mini-tub-iii-ro.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">postarea cu cădița</span>,</a> ediția cu numărul 3, v-am povestit că, odată cu schimbarea climatului de la unul temperat continental la unul tropical umed, părul meu a trebuit să facă față unor noi provocări (pentru cei care nu știu, locuiesc de 1 an și ceva în Miami, Florida). Una dintre cele mai neplăcute provocări a fost apariția mătreții la câteva luni bune după sosirea mea în State, când, am observat că apa dură din zona în care locuiesc m-a cadorisit cu niscaiva ”fulgi de nea” (niscaiva, puțin spus, fie vorba între noi). Șamponul pe care îl foloseam la acea dată nu mi-a fost de prea mult ajutor, așa că am luat la rând magazinele în căutarea aliatului perfect în lupta cu mătreața, fără prea mult succes însă.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aliatul meu aveam să-l găsesc câteva luni mai târziu - o surpriză foarte plăcută - un <b>produs românesc</b> - <b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></b><b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><b><b>Șamponul antimătreață cu ichtiol din gama Gerovital Plant de la Farmec</b></b></span></span> </b>pe care mama mi l-a trimis spre testare. Nu sunt o persoană care să aibă probleme cu mătreața, dar, din cauza apei dure, mereu m-am confruntat cu această problemă, fie că mă aflam în România, sau călătoream în Europa. Acum i-a venit rândul apei americane să-și facă de cap cu părul meu. La recomandările mamei, care, la rândul ei folosise acest șampon și fusese extrem de mulțumită de produs, am început să-l folosesc și eu.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">De îndată ce am primit acest șampon, l-am și încadrat în rutina mea de îngrijire a părului. Astfel, îmi turnam în căușul palmei cantitatea dorită de șampon, după care șamponam și masam pielea capului. Mama îmi spusese că acest șampon nu prea face multă spumă, să nu mă sperii însă de acest aspect și să masez ușor pielea capului pentru ca acesta să-și facă efectul (știți acea senzație de a masa ”în gol” un produs care nu face spumă pe pielea capului). Nu pot să-i dau mamei dreptate în totalitate, căci șamponul amestecat cu apă a făcut o spumă ok. Am masat pielea capului după care am clătit cu apă. Nu am folosit acest produs pe lungimea părului (decât o singură dată, din greșeală). După clătirea cu apă a produsului, am continuat cu rutina mea obișnuită, am folosit șamponul și balsamul pe care le utilizam la momentul respectiv (<b>Elseve</b></span></span><b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> Arginine Resist X3 </span></span></b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">de la </span></span><b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">L'Oréal Paris</span></span></b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">, toate cele 3 produse au făcut casă bună împreună), după care uscam sau coafam părul.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Ce mi-a plăcut la acest șampon este că am văzut <b>rezultate încă de la prima utilizare</b>, ceea ce nu pot spune despre alte produse folosite. </span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Acest lucru m-a determinat să am încredere în acest produs și să-l folosesc în continuare. Încet, încet mătreața s-a diminuat și sunt foarte mulțumită să spun că la ora actuală nu mai am probleme. Desigur, sunt un organism viu și câteva firicele de mătreață mai apar foarte rar ici și colo, dar nimic notabil. Eu am început cu o sticluță de 125 ml care m-a ținut 4 luni și ceva, cu 1-2 folosiri pe săptămână. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Am întrebat-o pe mama cât costă acest produs, ea mi-a spus că pentru sticluța de 125 ml a plătit 14 lei, iar pentru cea de 150 ml a plătit 17.50 lei. Ea a găsit acest șampon tratament în farmacii. Eu am văzut acest produs disponibil și în magazinul on-line al brandului. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Câteva <b>mici sfaturi de folosire a acestui produs</b>:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">- folosiți acest șampon cu precădere pe pielea capului, fără a șampona și pe lungimea părului - am șamponat o dată, din greșeală pe lungimea părului și nu mi-a plăcut efectul, părul mi-a rămas încărcat și uscat;</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">- folosiți produsul în combinați<span style="font-family: inherit;">e</span> cu șamponul vostru preferat, astfel veți elimina acel miros de petrol, care poate fi deranjant;</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">- luați în considerare faptul că </span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">acest produs este un șampon-tratament, iar un tratament înseamnă, cel puțin pentru mine, utilizare de durată, pentru a obține efectul scontat. Chiar dacă veți vedea rezultate încă de la prima utilizare, dacă trăiți într-un mediu cu apă dură, mătreața va reveni, sau dacă aveți probleme de natură dermatologică, folosiți-l cu regularitate.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello everybody!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even though in some parts of the world the fall season has arrived and you definitely enjoy seeing those rusty leaves, wearing comfy sweaters or cool boots, there is one thing that you should not forget about - <b>SPF</b>. I know what you are thinking right now: <i>”Why should I wear a SPF product when the sun is barely there?”</i> My recommendation would be to <b>NEVER stop using SPF</b>, no matter that it's spring, summer, autumn or winter. If you want to have a nice, healthy skin, use SPF, because the sun damages your skin every single day from the moment you were born and this is the skin you were given with for the rest of your life, so take good care of it. It is useless to buy expensive makeup products and put them on your face, if your base was built wrong. It is like you want to put windows to your new house, but the walls are so thin, that cannot support all that heavy hardware and eventually everything will fall apart.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Did you know that ”<b>skin cancer</b> is the <b>most common form of cancer in the United States</b> and that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime? <b>Melanoma </b>accounts for six percent of cancer cases in 15-19 years old teens. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25-29
years old and the second most common form of cancer for young people
15-29 years old.<sup> </sup>Also, one person dies of melanoma every hour (every 57 minutes).”</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I must confess, I wasn't a person who used SPF daily and I regret the fact that I did not inform myself properly regarding this importat aspect. As I discovered the beauty blogs a while back, I start researching about the ingredients found in cosmetics, I learned about the importance of the daily usage of SPF, I started giving much more attention to my skin care routine. I am so grateful for all these learned things, because they truly can make a difference in your life. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Today I am going to show you 5 SPF cosmetics that are good for the
next seasons too, not just for summer. I repeat it again: no matter that
you live in a tropical climate or a cold or temperate climate, <b>USE SPF DAILY</b>. Wheather you
are going to pick up your favorite pizza, do groceries, plan a vacation on a tropical island, or skiing on a mountain,
use SPF!<br />

To justify my choices shown above, I must tell you that my skin is very fair, sensitive, I have freckles and moles and I live in a tropical climate with sun exposure pretty much year round, so a higher SPF product helps protecting my skin better.<br />
I have chosen two spray type body care with SPF products, two cream type body care with SPF products and a product for face.<br />
<br />
From L-R: <br />
<ul>
<li><b>The ”Invisible mist” Photoderm Bronz with SPF 50 </b>from <b>Bioderma</b> - is my absolute favorite. It's very easy and convenient to apply. Its light, non greasy, non sticky, high protection formula makes it perfect for my outoors activities, besides this is a <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">hypoallergenic</span><span class="atn">, non-</span><span class="">comedogenic</span>, water resistant <span class="hps">product.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>The ”Transparent Sun Spray” with SPF 50</b> from<b> Eucerin</b> - this spray type body care product</span></span> has a very nice texture that is <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">easily</span> <span class="hps">absorbed</span> <span class="hps">into the skin</span></span>. It is water resistant and has a non sticky formula. This product does contain alcohol, but my body skin tolerated it well. I like to use it in my outdoors activities. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The</b> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>”Sun Creme-Gel” Allergy Protection with 25 SPF </b>from<b> Eucerin</b></span></span> - it is perfect for my daily activities, when I am not exposing my skin in the sun too much. Its creme-gel texture is easily to apply and very well absorbed into the skin. This is a specially designed product for people who suffer from sun allergies. I absolutely love it.</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>The </b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>”Baby Sunscreen Lotion” with 50 SPF Broad Spectrum </b>from <b>Equate - </b>I know it is a product for babies, but works well on my skin too. This very affordable lotion is water resistant and hypoallergenic. I like using this product when I know I will be outside for a longer time, I do like it, but tends to be sticky from time to time.</span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>The </b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>”Mattyfying fluid” Photoderm AKN Mat with 30 SPF </b></span></span></span></span><b> </b>from <b>Bioderma - </b>is my go-to face cream with SPF. This cream hydrates, mattyfies, protects my sensitive combination skin. It is water resistant and parabens free. I am planning to review this face cream soon on my blog.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These were my choices. Of course, you can lower or increase your SPF index, according to your skin needs and choose the brands that you love.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Remember to:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- pick up those products that offer you a broad spectrum protection against the sun</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- buy products with ingrediensts that do not harm your skin</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- apply the products in a generous amount (the size of a quarter) at least 20 minutes before sun exposure (going outside) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- reapply after 2-3 hours if you are doing outdoor activities, you are swimming or you sweat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you use SPF on a daily basis? Which SPF products are your favorites?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello everybody!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Today you'll find a <b>new review</b> in my <b>”Review and Swatches” section</b> here on the blog. I am reviewing for you <b>the new Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">For me, finding a good foundation is quite a challenge, considering my fair complexion. In the same time, I have to be very careful, because I don't want to look like a ghost, nor like a ”Tiki mask”, not to mention that my new sensitive combination skin requires much more attention than before, when I had a normal with dry tendencies skin. Clarifying that, I have to mention that in terms of foundations, I had a few pleasant surprises both from drugstores and <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">dermatocosmetics brands. I will review those particular foundations in the future.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">I ended up buying <b>the </b></span></span><b>Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation</b> because I was drawn by the element of innovation and surprise that this product brought on the market. I bought it from my local Wal-Mart and I paid $8.94 (+ tax).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you can see, Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation <b>comes in</b> a <b>hard glass bottle</b> and has <b>20 ml</b> or <b>0.67 FL. OZ.</b>. According to the code on the back of the bottle - the product has been manufactured in May 2014 and has a <b>general shelf life of 36 months</b>. </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>The texture </b>is a <b>fluid</b> one. Normally I do not necessarly mention this is a review of a foundation, but <b>the smell I did not like it at all</b>. I was not expecting a roses and flowers scent, but this product has <b>quite a noticeable alcohool smell</b>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now, let me share with you <b>my in-depth thoughts on</b> <b>the Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation:</b></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This new Maybelline foundations <b>comes in 12 shades</b>, which is a good thing to see that they tried to cover as much as possible from all the ranges of skin complexions. I purchased the <i><b>shade ”10 Porcelain Ivory”</b></i> which is the fairest of them all (like me). I was debating weather to buy this shade or<i> ”15 Ivory”</i>, but I was affraid that the <i>Ivory</i> will look a little darker on me, and with my skin tone every darker drop is visibly right away, so I ended up purchasing the first one. Most probably, my perfect shade will be a mix between these two. Anyhow, this chosen shade seems to be working ok for me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">When I was using this fondation, I had to shake it well, due to its fluid consistency and separation of formula, unscrew the cap, allow the foundation to drop onto fingertip and apply it to my face. I must say that I am <b>not a huge fan of the ”tear drop” applicator/ dropper</b>. I prefer better the pump applicator, <span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">which allows you to apply the exact amount of product you need. This particular applicator, most of the times, did not drop the foundation, I had to rub it to my fingertip; also as the foundation's wand goes deep into the foundation's formula, when you take it out to apply the foundation onto your fingertips, it comes out with a certain amount of foundation. When you put the wand back into the bottle, that tricked amount of foundation builds up on the bottle's ”neck”, being messy. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">The foundation gave me <b>a small to medium coverage</b> for my combination skin. It <b>glides smoothly</b> when applied on the skin, <b>blends well </b>either using fingers or a brush and gives me a nice, subtle </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">”no makeup</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">”</span></span> makeup look. You can build it up without looking cakey or have that wierd </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">”mask”</span></span> feeling. It worked ok set up with a mattifying powder, without it my oily zones (T- Zone, chin), started to shine in about 2-3 hours after application. Although on me this foundation looks ok, I consider it more suitable for a normal skin, because it does not offer the complete coverage that I need to feel confident in it. Moreover, <b>this is not a transfer resistant foundation</b>, it will stain the objects that your face will come in contact with like the cell phone, regular phone or your shirt's collar.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Also, I want to mention I was glad to see that this foundation <b>has SPF 20</b>, which is such a great thing to complete your already applied SPF face cream in the fight against sun damage. This is a <b>big plus</b>.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><b>REMEMBER</b>: Even though this foundation has SPF 20, <b>DO NOT FORGET</b> to apply your daily SPF moisturizer, because applied alone, this product does not protect you completely from the sun, but applied in combination with a SPF moisturizer makes quite the team.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">The presence of<b> the </b></span></span><b>Alchool Denat</b> in this product's composition <b>did affect me a little</b>. Having a sensitive combination skin is not easy. As I am using and testing more and more cosmetic products, I discover that my skin tends to react differently when it comes to products that contain Alchool Denat. For exemple, I used face creams that had this ingredient and my skin tolerated the product, there were other cases when I felt my skin dry or I broke out, or I felt a sensation of itchiness. Talking about Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation <b>I felt my skin a tad bit dry</b>, but no other reactions. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you have combination skin or acne prone skin, I woulnd't recomment purchasing this product. Personally, I had a love-hate relationship with it, there were aspects that I did like, but there were certainly aspects that I did not like at all. I incline to say that this foundation will not be repurchased. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let's conclude with the <b>STRONG POINTS</b> and <b>WEAKNESSES</b> of the new Maybelline Dream Wonder Fluid-Touch foundation:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Hello everybody!</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>My biggest satisfaction to me as a blogger is to see that this small virtual place that I have created with so much love and dedication grows a little bit more every single day, that I am able to provide you with useful information and a smile in the days of sorrow. Your support means a lot to me, I know that I have told you this before, but I will keep repeating it for you, a lot, and this offers me inspiration and strength to keep writing for you, my dear readers.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Recently, my blog achieved<b> 800 followers through</b> <b>”Google Friend Connect” and 1500 fans on Facebook</b>,<b> </b>all this made me so happy. I was asking you which would be the ”ideal prize” for you and the majority of the answers pointed to a perfume with an unique flavor or body care products, so I had an idea. I was thinking to combine all those wishes with the products from a brand that I personally love and I immediately placed an order. I even teased you with my <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://instagram.com/p/r473-wlNrC/?modal=true" target="_blank">Instagram photo</a></span> after my order arrived.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>If you are still wondering which brand I am talking about, let me tell you my surprise: the prize will be <b>a body care set from </b><b>Bath and Body Works</b>. </i><i>You know how much I love their amazing scents, don't you?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>I had chosen for you the <b>”Endless Weekend” scent </b>- ”An exhilarating blend of raspberry lychee sorbet, sun-kissed magnolia and vanilla sandalwood” - which I hope you'll like. The packaging of these products is absolutely adorrable, it got me from the first moment I saw it, and along with those dazzling scents to take you away in an "endless weekend", full of beautiful memories, peace and relaxation.</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cea mai mare satisfacție a mea ca blogger este să văd că acest mic spațiu virtual crește câte puțin în fiecare zi, că reușesc să vă ofer informații utile și câte un zâmbet în zile mai puțin senine. Susținerea voastră, am tot repetat-o și o voi repeta mereu, înseamnă enorm pentru mine, îmi conferă inspirație și putere de a scrie în continuare pentru voi.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">De curând am trecut de pragul de <b>800 de urmăritori prin ”Google Friend Connect”</b> și <b>1500 de fani pe pagina de Facebook a blogului</b>, lucru care mă bucură peste măsură. V-am întrebat care ar fi premiul ideal pentru voi, m-a bucurat să vă citesc gândurile; răspunsurile predominante au făcut referire la un parfum cu o aromă inedită, sau produse de îngrijire a corpului, așa că mi-a venit o idee. M-am gândit să vă ofer un set de produse cosmetice cu arome inedite, produse care încă nu se găsesc pe piață la noi în țară. V-am oferit și un mic indiciu pe <span style="color: purple;"><a href="http://instagram.com/p/r473-wlNrC/?modal=true" target="_blank">Instagram</a></span> de îndată ce a sosit comanda. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dacă încă nu ați ghicit despre ce brand este vorba, hai să vă dezvălui surpriza: premiul constă într-<b>un set de produse de îngrijire a corpului de la Bath and Body Works</b>. Știți bine că eu sunt un mare fan al acestor produse și nu mă mai satur de aromele lor extraordinare. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Am ales pentru voi <b>aroma </b><i><b>”Endless Weekend”</b> </i>- <span class="" id="result_box" lang="ro"><i><span class="hps">un</span> <span class="hps">amestec</span> <span class="hps">antrenant</span> <span class="hps">de </span><span class="hps">șerbet</span> de zmeură, <span class="hps">magnolie</span>, <span class="hps">lemn de santal</span> </i><span class="hps"><i>și vanilie</i> - care sper să fie pe placul vostru.

<i>I saw <b>the movie </b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b> ”Blended” </b>and I laughed so hard, as I haven't done it for a while, that I bursted into tears.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dacă aș putea, aș cumpăra toată ziua <b>rujuri</b>. Știu ce veți spune ... , fiecare cu plăcerile sale vinovate. Am văzut aceast <b>ruj Wet' n' Wild</b> la Cora - <span style="color: purple;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYqHP6XPTmQ&list=UUAvgeBRw4qUxB0XdBz89sjg" target="_blank">Vintage or Tacky</a></span> - una dintre ”youtuberițele” mele preferate și a trebuit să-l am.

<i>I ended up going to <b>Wal-Mart</b> too, huge mistake, the store was so busy, a lot of people running up and down, apparently I forgot that the school was about to start the next day and everybody did their school supplies shopping on the last day. In all that madness, I found these <b>cute notepads</b>, perfect to keep in my bag and for writing my blog ideas any time I have inspiration. All 3 of them - a bargain - $1.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Am ajuns și la <b>Wal-Mart</b>, mare greșeală căci era nebunia de pe lume și o mare îmbulzeală, aici în State pe 18 august a început anul școlar și, nu e de mirare, multă lume și-a lăsat cumpărăturile pe ultima zi. În toată îmbulzeala creată am găsit aceste <b>carnețele foarte drăguțe</b> și <b>practice</b>, numai bune de notat idei pentru blog. Toate 3 m-au costat $1, un chilipir.</span></span></div>
