To sum up, 2014 was unpredictable. Lots of changes happened, both in my personal and professional life. I started out this blog as a passion for makeup, but now I see that it took be almost three years to find the right path and basically to understand what I like to write about. And that is reviews and things about products. Here are the ones I discovered and loved in 2014.

Pai Bioregenerate Rosehip Oil
This is a product that makes be happy for being a beauty blogger! Why is that? Because being a part of this community, I get to find out about products like this one. I said I will do a separate review and I promise I will. 

Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Oil
What I love about this product is that it really makes hair feel softer and when using this, it looks 10 times better no matter how damaged it is. It's not the effect you can find on most of the products out there.

e.l.f. Mineral Booster in Shimmery
This is literally my life saviour when it comes to keeping my face matte but with that glorious luminosity. 

Olay Pro X Microdermabrasion Brush
I got it reviewed here. I love it so much! Really cleans my pores and I think every girl should have one.

Vichy Dermablend Foundation
This has saved me from going out like I was coming from a war. Review here.

Hope you have a great year!

Christmas is almost here and that's such a good thing. I can already feel that positive vibe that makes me full of energy and happy. Really happy. It's been a crazy year, with ups and downs but most importantly a year full of lessons. I'm gonna share with you some things I want to wear this Christmas...some things that I love.
First of all it's sunblock. It makes me feel safe, protected at any moment during the day. This is a feeling that I want to be with me during the holidays. Moreover, Antheliox XL with SPF 50+ is a lovely product, perfect for everyday use. I will tell you more on a separate post.
e.l.f Mineral Booster in Shimmer. I love this stuff. I first used it a few years ago (I have it reviewed here). I was dying to use it again and I was really lucky to find a person that sells e.l.f products right here in my town. It's perfect for everyday use and perfect for sensitive skin like mine.
Pai Rosehip Oil is my new love. I absolutely love this product, it's my HG in skin care. I will say more in a separate post.
Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01. Nothing looks more adorable that a red matte lipstick on a pale glowing skin (I achieve that look by protecting my skin with LRP Anthelios XL and by using the mineral booster as a finishing product). This also gives a more festive vibe to my look, completed by...
This adorable sweater by Zara. I was so lucky to find one for the Christmas holiday. I love the cute design and the little pearls. Looks so classy.

What are you wearing this Christmas?

Whenever I see a nice shade of lipstick, I go crazy. I love the dark ones like burgundy, totally adore the red ones and I am not that thrilled to wear nudes or pinks because they don't suit me. Or so I think. The lipsticks I am going to show you today are absolutely rockin my days. I love their formulas, I love the shades and love to wear them. Although the pictures don't make them justice, please keep in mind that the colors are more alive and vibrant in real life. I also think that wearing a nice shade of lipstick can make a huge difference when talking about makeup: for example, the red one can give you a french vibe or a classic one, and also makes you look more adventurous and confident. Don't you think?
As you can see, I have many shades of red (and about other 2-3 that I forgot to photograph this time). What can I say, I'm the girl that has many red lipsticks in her bag! I'm gonna list below the shades I have and please share your opinion.
From left to right:
1. Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01
2. Alix Avien in 388
3. MAC in Red
4. Farmasi Long Wearing in L10
5. Maybelline Color Whisper in Who wore it red-er
6. Farmasi in 09
7. Farmasi in 11
If I were to choose three lipsticks I would choose the Sephora Cream Lip Stain, the MAC and the Farmasi in L10. These are most likely the shades I reach for when I go out the door, but there are days when I don't want to stand out that much and I choose just a lipgloss or a lip balm. 

Which one do you like the most? Share your opinion!

La multi ani! Va doresc tot ce imi doresc si mie si celor dragi mie :) sanatate, puterea de a trece peste rautati si greutati, cat mai multe impliniri, cat mai multe scopuri atinse...sa fim fericiti, impliniti si inconjurati de oameni frumosi!
Anul 2013 a fost un an memorabil. M-a schimbat intr-un fel in care nu mi-as fi imaginat ca o sa ma schimb vreodata. Nu numai interior, ci si exterior :) Am invatat sa apreciez mai mult oamenii de langa mine si am invatat sa ma apreciez si pe mine. Dupa acest an, 2013, mi-am dat seama de un lucru dureros, dar prezent in viata fiecaruia dintre noi...faptul ca nu merita sa pastram in viata noastra oamenii care nu vor sa fie langa noi. M-am gandit ca nu pot sa imi cauzez atata suferinta alergand dupa oameni care, intr-un final, nu si-au amintit de mine decat la nevoie....si nu la Craciun. Am invatat sa iert, sa uit, sa trec peste ce nu merita sa fie in PREZENT. Sa ma bucur de cei care ma vor langa ei, care mi-au oferit prietenia lor sincera, care mi-au fost alaturi cand altii au fugit oferind motive stupide.
Am gasit o persoana alaturi de care pot spune ca am fost "impotriva tuturor". Nu mai suntem impotriva nimanui acum si oricum, prea putin conteaza ce spun altii. Ce conteaza e ce simtim noi, ce ne dorim noi si nu ceea ce se asteapta altii sa facem sau sa se intample. Am invatat sa merg mai departe cu ceea ce simt.
Anul 2013 a fost un an al experimentelor, al bloggingului, al calatoriilor, al pasiunii si al redescoperirii mele. Nu mi-ar ajunge o zi intreaga sa va povestesc cate mi s-au intamplat si cate am invatat, insa toate au fost spre bine. Am terminat facultatea cu o lucrare de licenta care a primit o nota foarte buna (desi nu m-as fi gandit la asta), sunt studenta la master si....angajata permanenta, full time, la cea mai mare companie de inchirieri auto din Romania. 
Pot sa spun ca incercarea anului 2013 a fost gasirea unui job care sa imi placa cel putin la fel de mult ca cel de beauty advisor la Max Factor. Ok, stiu ca domeniile sunt total diferite, la Max faceam ce stiam mai bine, insa placerea o regasesc si mergand la biroul Autonom din centrul Clujului...Aici zilnic dau de noi provocari, lucru care imi place mai mult decat stiam...
S-a incheiat un an care mi-a dat multe lectii. Ma bucur enorm ca am reusit sa fac, cu multe eforturi, multa vointa si mult stres, niste lucruri pe care mi le-am dorit din tot sufletul. Ma bucur ca nu m-am oprit din a posta pe blog si ca am facut un pas inainte: intalnirea cu bloggeritele din Cluj. Ma bucur pentru toate colaborarile avute de-a lungul anului 2013, si mai mult ma bucur pentru excelenta colaborarea cu cei de la Born Pretty Store, o echipa de oameni minunata, in frunte cu Daisy Lee.
Ma bucur ca imi sunteti inca alaturi si ca ma cititi. Ma bucur ca am avut sansa de a intra in contact cu voi, ma bucur ca va pot citi, ca pot invata lucruri de la voi si ma straduiesc, credeti-ma, sa va impartasesc cat mai multe din experientele mele, sa fac postari cat mai diverse. Desi de multe ori stresul, oboseala si lipsa de inspiratie ma indeparteaza de blog, voi fi tot aici. Pe langa faptul ca sunt celelalte lucruri de mai sus, sunt blogger de beauty!

Va doresc toate cele bune,
Carmen
