Review produse make-up Cupio

Saptamana trecuta am vizitat magazinul Cupio din Shopping City Timisoara cu intentia de a-mi achizitiona un lac de unghii, doua, trei... Cunosteam de ceva vreme produsele lor pentru manichiura pentru ca le vazusem deja in cateva saloane si le-am folosit si acasa. Insa cand am ajuns acolo am uitat complet pentru ce intrasem si am ramas pe ganduri in fata standului cu produse de make-up. Sa fim seriosi, lacuri de unghii am cu nemiluita, nu mai era cazut pentru inca unul. Asa ca am inceput sa fac o recapitualare mentala a produselor de make-up de care am nevoie si le-am indentificat repede pe raft. Mi-au placut tare mult produsele din colectia OG (outdoor girl). Mai jos va povestesc cate ceva despre fiecare produs in parte. Ah, dar inainte de asta sa nu uit sa va spun ca produsele Cupio sunt 100% romanesti si eu zic ca merita sa promovam si sa incurajam producatorii autohtoni.

Pensula pentru blush 5A

Era cazul sa incerc si eu sa imi fac singura un contouring, pentru ca trebuie sa recunosc pana acum am lasat asta doar pe mana profesionistilor atunci cand am avut nevoie de machiaj pentru un eveniment sau sedinta foto. Nuantele din acest kit se potrivesc de minune tenului meu, trusa continand o nuanta pentru conturare, un iluminator si o pudra bronze. Am ales o pensula pentru blush deoarece textura produselor mi s-a parut mai degraba asemanatoare unei pudre decat unei creme, dar o pensula pentru contouring va functiona la fel de bine. Nuantele au fost usor de blend-uit dar pensula a pierdut cam multe fire la o prima folosire. Am mai patit asta si cu alte pensule, dar de obicei dupa curatare si 2-3 folosiri firele nu mai cad.

In general rutina mea de machiaj este destul de simpla si rapida, incerc sa ma limitez la doar cativa pasi de baza. Primer-ul sau baza de machiaj nu facea parte pana acum din rutina mea, dar adevarul e ca tenul meu mixt avea nevoie de asa ceva, mai ales in zilele calduroase de vara. Pe langa faptul ca ofera tenului un aspect matifiat, va ajuta ca machiajul sa reziste mai mult in timp. Mi-a placut mult textura acestuia si pielea mea a devenit mai catifelata.

Chiar daca l-am lasat la urma, acest luciu de buze a fost primul lucru pe care l-am pus in cosul de cumparaturi pentru ca mi-a placut enorm nuanta. Un luciu de buze mat? Pare o contradictie in termeni. In general prefer rujurile mate celor lucioase, mai ales daca am parul desfacut si afara bate vantul. Stiti despre ce vorbesc :)) Aplicatorul e foarte usor de folosit, iar luciul este surprinzator de rezistent.

Iata si un machiaj realizat cu aceste produse. Fiind un machiaj de zi nu am exagerat cu conturarea fetei si am ales un machiaj cat mai natural, care sa puna in evidenta trasaturile fetei, adaugand putina textura si culoare pielii fara a o incarca.

Hold on to me

high waisted denim skirt diy choker

I took a short unplanned absence from the blog and other social media platforms, and now I am back in business. I wasn't away on vacation, wasn't doing anything special, it just happened. I guess I needed a break from all this and recharge my batteries. Well, that didn't go as planned, as my baby girl decided to wake up three times per night, again! I might be even more exhausted now than I was before the break. 
As you can see, I am not back with a bang. In fact quite the opposite. I am wearing one of the most basic, even trivial outfits I've put out there lately, but the truth is this is the way I dress most days. Wore this the other day at a store opening and I felt great. I realized I've been clinging to this high waisted denim skirt for years now without wearing it, and not because I am a hoarder, but because some pieces of clothing are worth holding on to. It survived my many closet clearances and somehow never ended up in the donation pile or the 'for sale' one. It's got a bit of a sentimental value even though it's thrifted, and somehow I knew one day it will be back in style. I might go out and buy a few embroidered patches and give this old thing an update. This way it will feel like brand new and then I can keep it for a few years more.

Currently coveting: temporary flash tattoos

temporary flash tattoos

If you are heading to a festival this weekend, you should know that temporary flash tattoos are guaranteed to make you stand out. They are still in this year and they come in even more interesting designs. If you are not ready to make a life time commitment, are afraid of needles or you just get bored easily, but still want to look hardcore, these flash tattoos are perfect for you. They are super easy and fun to apply and once you are done with them or want to change them up, just rub some oil or use scotch tape to take them off. These are some of my picks, hopefully they will inspire you as well. Check out the links below!

Adina Mircea jewelry

Astazi am fost in vizita la atelierul prietenei mele Adina Mircea, curioasa fiind ce minunatii au mai iesit din mainile ei fermecate. Pusesem ochii pe niste inele cu doua pietre si abia asteptam sa le probez. Pe Adina am cunoscut-o acum vreo 4 ani, la yoga, i-am descoperit atelierul la scurt timp si de atunci i-am purtat de nenumarate ori creatiile. Adina e de profesie arhitect, iar asta se vede cu ochiul liber in structurile pe care le creaza din piele, metal si pietre. Ii place sa se joace cu formele si volumele, iar rezultatul e fie o bijuterie delicata, numai buna pentru a-ti complimenta tinuta, fie spectaculoasa, pentru acele dintre noi ce indraznesc sa iasa in evidenta. As fi putut sa ii iau un interviu astazi pentru voi, dar cel mai bine e, daca locuiti in Timisoara, sa ii faceti o vizita la atelier (pe strada Mercy vizavi de Zai) si sa stati putin de vorba. Sunt absolut convinsa ca o veti indragi pe loc, atat pe ea cat si bijuteriile ei.

Today I paid a visit to my friend Adina Mircea, at her studio, as I was curious what marvelous things have come out of her magical hands lately. I had my eyes on some double stone rings and I was dying to try them on. I met Adina about 4 years ago in yoga class, discovered her jewelry studio soon after and I've worn her creations countless times ever since. Adina is an architect and you can tell it by the jewelry structures she creates out of leather, metal and stones. She loves to play with shapes and volumes, and the result is either a delicate piece of jewelry, perfect for complementing your outfit, or a spectacular piece of art for the daring girl who wants to stand out. I could have taken an interview for you guys today, but better yet, if you live in Timisoara, you can pay her a visit (on Mercy street) and have a little chat. I am absolutely certain that you will instantly fall in love with her and her jewelry as well.

Lace me up

black leather choker lace up top

I can't even remember the last time I wore a mini skirt, but here I am. There's no time like the summer to be showing off them legs, right? I guess as we reach a certain age we tend to stay away from certain clothing items, but styled in the right way they can be given another chance. Anyway, although not fully intentional, I managed to pull off three of my favorite current trends in one outfit. The choker is making a major comeback and I am having so many secondary school flashbacks. Man, I am old! I spotted this leather lace up choker on my friend Adelina's snapchat account and a day later she made one for me as well. Isn't it super bad ass? The lace-up top is on trend as well and I thought these two would look great together. I like that it's quite subtle, you know I am not a fan of showing too much skin in certain areas. And the third trend I am excited about this season is the scalloped hem. I picked up this little striped number from Woman Fashion  and I think it balances out the toughness of the upper part of the outfit quite nicely. What are your favorite trends this summer and how are you wearing them?

Denim days

Blue Shirred Cold Shoulder Buttoned Denim Dress

I really love how the '70s have been re-interpreted this year. As you might have already noticed, I developed quite an obsession with anything off the shoulder, so when I saw this dress it was too good to pass up. The other big trend I was eager to adopt was denim, but let's face it, denim never goes out of style. I wanted a blue denim dress with a loose fit, super comfortable and versatile that I could wear while running errands and carrying the baby. All the new mommies out there will understand the benefit of a button down dress *wink*. I wore this outfit this weekend to a style workshop held by Dana Rogoz at Shopping City Timisoara, and of course I had to take some pictures for the blog. I went for a pair of red high top Converse, a diy leather necklace and a half bun. It wasn't intentional, but my daughter and I were wearing coordinated outfits. Scroll down to check us out, Dana really loved our matching outfits. During the workshop we talked about smart shopping, key pieces and trends, shopping online and of course our favorite thing: sales! Dana is super relaxed and down to earth, and we basically had the type of conversation you would have with your girlfriends. It was a great event, and it was a pleasure hanging out with my fellow bloggers.
