Despre Albirea dintilor + Plus white review/ Teeth whitening

2012-02-23T08:17:00.002-08:00

De ani de zile am tot dorit sa-mi albesc dintii, iar in tot acest timp m-am milogit de parinti sa ma lase. Intr-un final, acum 6 luni, am reusit sa-i conving cu ajutorul Dianei. Iata ca azi o sa vorbesc si o sa impartasesc intreaga experienta a albirii dintilor, cu avantajele si dezavantajele ei.
For years and years I wished to whiten my teeth, but in this whole time I asked my parents to let me do it. Finally, 6 months ago they agreed with Diana's help. Now, today I'll talk about it and I'll share the whole experience of whitening my teeth, with it's advantages and disadvantages...

In primul rand, eu mi-am facut albire la dentist, cum vedeti si in video. Mai explic inca o data totul ca voi sa intelegeti exact (ca in video m-am incurcat tare).
1. Albirea cu gel la lumina UV se face asa: se pune un gel pe gingie, care sa intareste si care are rolul de a proteja gingia si inca un gel pe dinti, care are rolul de a albi dintii. Daca gelul de albire de pe dinti ajunge pe gingie, o sa arda si o sa muriti de durere. Am patit-o si e naspa. Am gasit doua poze pe google in care puteti vedea cum arata gingia dupa (aici si aici)
2. DOARE foarte tare, trebuie sa va pregatiti sufleteste.
3. Albirea dureaza 40 minute fiecare sedinta, se face in 3 sedinte pentru fiecare coroana. Fiecare coroana costa 300 lei, iar periajul si detartrajul care se fac inainte costa 100 lei. Am uitat sa mentionez in video ca din cauza durerii am renuntat la ultima sedinta a dintilor de jos.
4. Albirea sesnibilizeaza dintii. Inca nu am vazut alte efecte negative de durata.
5. Fumatul, bautul de cafea, ceai, alimente sau bauturi cu coloranti, cola, vin negru etc dauneaza si ii ingalbeneste.

Acum, despre Plus White. Am cumparat de aici, daca vreti sa va luati si voi.
Plus white este un gel care se aplica pe dinti cu ajutorul unei gutiere si se lasa intre 5 si 15 minute, in funcite de cat de patati sunt dintii. Inainte de acest gel se foloseste o apa de gura. Tubul este foarte mare si poate fi folosit de foarte multe ori. Cam atat, daca mai aveti nevoie de detalii, intrebati, I'm here.
Verificati si noul articol de aici. Multumesc

Martisor Make-up !

2012-02-20T09:11:00.000-08:00

Nu mai este mult si vine si 1 Martie, Ziua Martisorului. Chiar daca sunt convinsa ca n-o sa vina primavara pana atunci, incerc sa ma inveselesc cu un machiaj colorat si fix in culorile martisorului: rosu si alb. Si pentru ca am simtit ca machiajul are nevoie de umbre si o ,,amprenta" lasata de mine, am adaugat si ceva maro si negru. Si ghiciti ce! Are si VIDEO!
In Romania, first of March means the beginning of Spring, also called ,,Martisor" (See more about this whole tradition by clicking here), where we wear a ribbon the whole day (some people wear it the whole month with red and white. This is how I got inspired when I made this new make-up... And guess what! I also made a VIDEO TUTORIAL!

Am folosit: Trusa de 120 culori Fraulein, creion negru Ada,. Mascara Volume Express de la Maybeline, Primer no name si tus MAC, lip gloss Farmasi
I used: 120 color make-up kit by Fraulein, black ,,Ada" eyeliner, Volume Express Mascara from Maybeline, no name primer, MAC liquid eyeliner, Farmasi lip gloss

Pasul 1: Aplica un fard alb pe pleoapa superioara
Step 1: Apply a white eyeshadow on the upper eyelid

Pasul 2: Aplica un fard rosu in jurul celui alb
Step 2: Apply red eyeshadow around the white one

Pasul 3: Intre cele doua farduri aplicate, fa o umbra cu un fard maro, iar in capatul acestuia pune putin negru (eu la urma m-am gandit ca ar arata mai bine cu tot negru, asa ca am acoperit partea cu maro putin, dar puteti sa alegeti din ambele variante)
Step 3: Between the white and red eyeshadow apply a brown shadow, and on the outer corner add a bit of black.

Pasul 4: Sub sprancene aplica un fard auriu stralucitor

Step 4: Under the eyebrow apply a shimmery golden shadow

Pasul 5: Aplica tusul si fa o codita in coltul exterior

Step 5: Apply the liquid eyeliner and draw a wing on the outer corner of the eye

Pasul 6: Pe pleoapa inferioara aplica un maro-rosiatic si in interiorul acesteia traseaza conturul ochiului cu un creion negru. Sub genele de jos traseaza o linie cu tusul. La urma se aplica rimelul.

Step 6: Under the eye apply a reddish brown shadow and in the inner part draw a line with a black liner. Under the lower eyelashes draw another line with the liquid eyeliner. In the end apply mascara.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Don't forget about the GIVEAWAYS (HERE and HERE) in the previous posts! You can still apply and you have a chance to win awesome stuff! Also, check my style blog HERE. Thanks!

Totul despre samponul uscat...Everything about the dry shampoo...

2012-02-14T04:22:00.000-08:00

Desi nu sunt deloc genul de persoana careia sa i se ingrase parul repede, samponul uscat a fost o descoperire care m-a bucurat si impresionat enorm pentru ca ajuta extrem de mult... Prima data am vazut pe un site, dar nu am bagat de seama si mi-am spus ca nu are rost sa cumpar porcarii de pe net despre care nu am nici o siguranta ca funcioneaza. Am avut ocazia sa testez samponul uscat prima data la o colega de facultate in UK, care tot spunea cat de mult o ajuta acest gen de sampon...Ca urmare, mi-am comandat si eu acasa un sampon cu aroma fresh de la Batiste de aici. Evident, ca orice produs are si avantaje si dezavantaje...
Although I am not at all the kind of person with greasy hair, the dry shampoo was a huge discovery for me which made me extremely happy because it helps a lot... First time I saw it on a site, but I didn't bother wondering about it or buying it because I thought it's pointless to buy something I found online which doesn't guarantee that it's going to work. I had the chance to test it for the first time with an ex classmate from UK who kept on saying how much this shampoo helps her... After all these I bought myself a shampoo with a Fresh smell from Batiste. Obviously, like any other product, it has advantages and disadvantages...
English at the end of the page

Pentru cele care nu stiu, samponul uscat este un fel de spray care se aplica pe par intre doua spalari sau inainte de a coafa parul pentru a ii conferi imaginea de proaspat spalat sau pentru a-l coafa mai usor. Eu una il folosesc deobicei in bad hair days (chiar daca am parul curat, il pot aranja din nou, frumos) sau inainte sa ies in oras, pentru ca de spalat pe cap nu ma spal cu putin timp inainte sa ies din casa in nici un caz pentru ca este extrem de periculos, chiar daca ma usuc bine (mai ales pe vremea asta). Se spune ca trebuie sa astepti 4-6 ore pentru ca parul sa se usuce complet, fara a avea probleme. De aceea va si recomand sa va spalati pe cap inainte de somn. Cel putin, mie chiar imi si arata parul mai bine dupa o noapte de somn decat in ziua respectiva, imediat dupa spalare...

Pe langa asta, am auzit de la extrem de multe fete cum ca s-ar spala in fiecare zi pe par. Mare greseala! Samponul si uscatul in mod repetat si prea des, afecteaza parul. Inteleg, sunt fete care chiar au probleme, dar este recomandat sa ne spalam pe cap de 2-3 ori pe saptamana. Aici poate interveni samponul uscat de asemenea...

Revenind la minunatul sampon uscat, el se foloseste super usor. Se piaptana intai parul, apoi se aplica samponul, se asteapta 3 secunde, se maseaza putin scalpul si apoi se aranjeaza dupa plac. Cam asta e, dupa arati super fresh! Exista o gramada de variante de sampon, cu diverse arome. Eu mi-am cumparat unul Fresh pentru ca nu prea suport aromele intense florale si nici nu prea ar merge bine cu parfumul meu. Pe langa asta, mai sunt si sampoane care au si colorant in ele, asa ca au si rol de reinprospatare a vopselei (pe acestea nu le-am incercat, deci nu stiu cum sunt). Mirosul este chiar ok, iar rezultatele se vad chiar bine. Nu va asteptati la rezultate spectaculoase, pentru ca daca se aplica pe parul super gras n-o sa functioneze niciodata. Repet, samponul se aplica intre doua spalari obisnuite, nu se aplica pentru a amana o spalare.

Acum, dezavantajele... Nu stiu cum sunt variantele celelalte, dar al meu, daca este pulverizat de la o distanta prea scurta (mai putin de o mana intinsa cat de departe se poate), parul se albeste. Da, stiu, suna ciudat, dar se albeste si arata ingrozitor si nici nu se duce prea repede. Trebuie OBLIGATORIU pulverizat de la o distanta mare si in cantitate la fel de mare, iar dupa, scalpul trebuie masat destul de bine fara a ramane urme.

Pe langa asta am observat ca dupa pulverizare parul devine putin aspru, dar nu este ceva foare grav, pentru ca in cateva sferturi de ora nu se mai observa nimic...
Am cautat si pe internet putin sa vad cam care este treaba si se pare ca mai exista cateva branduri de sampon uscat, iar topul ar fi urmatorul:
1. Algemarin
2. Bumble and Bumble
3. Oscar Blandi
4. Batiste
5. Pssst
6. Klorane
Daca totusi sunteti in dubii puteti sa cautati reviewuri pe net pentru fiecare brand si sa gasiti samponul potrivit parului vostru. Asta, desigur, daca aveti rabdare sa comandati si sa asteptati o vesnicie pana va vine pachetul din strainatate. Eu sunt prea comoda, asa ca mi l-am luat pe acesta. Eu oricum, v-am spus cum a functionat samponul pe parul MEU, care este un par extrem de des, care nu se ingrasa (decat daca ma dau cu 3tone de fixativ, ceea ce se intampla extrem de rar), ceva intre cret si ondulat, brunet, iar firele sunt groase si destul de aspre.
Cam acesta este reviewul meu si astept sa-mi spuneti daca ati incercat ceva asemanator si cam ce parere aveti!

ENGLISH
For those who don't know, the dry shampoo it's a kind of a spray which you apply between two hair washes or before you arrange your hair to make it look fresh or to fix it easier. I usually use it in the bad hair days (although my hair is clean, I can fix it again) or before going out, because I don't ever wash my hair right before leaving the house because it's EXTREMLY dangerous, even if I dry my hair as much as possible (mostly with this super cold weather). I heard that you have to wait 4 to 6 hours for the hair to be dried completly, without having health problems. This is why I advise you to wash your hair before going to sleep at night.
Besides these, I heard a lot of times about girls washing their hair everyday. BIG mistake! Washing with normal shampoo and drying it so many times damages your hair. I understand that there are girls who really have problems, but it's highly recommended to wash the hair 2 to 3 times a week. This is where the dry shampoo it's really helpful...
Now going back to the dry shampoo, it's super easy to use. You need to comb your hair first, apply the shampoo, wait a few seconds, massage your scalp a bit and than you fix it as you want it (see pictures with steps above). That's all! And in the end you'll look super fresh! There are a lot of types for this shampoo, with different flavours. I chose the Fresh one because I can't really stand the intense floral smell and it doesn't go well with my perfume. Besides these, there are some shampoos which have color in them, so they have the role of refreshing the hair dye (I never tried those, so I have no idea how they are). The smell is really OK, not intense and the results are visible. Don't expect for spectacular results, because if you will apply it on an extremely greasy hair, it will never work. I reapeat, this shampoo should be applied between two hair washes and not to cancel one wash.
Now, the disadvantages... I have no Idea how the colored shampoos are, but mine, if it's sprayed to close, the hair goes white. I know, it sounds pretty weird, but it makes your hair white and it looks horrible (again, see picture above) and it doesn't wash out fast. You NEED to spray it from a big distance and in big quantity and than, the scalp needs to be massaged very well to make all the whiteness go.
Besides these I noticed that after spraying the hair gets a bit rough, but it's not really bad because after some time it goes back to normal...
I searched online a bit to check the dry shampoo market and I found some other good dry shampoo brands, and the top seems to be this:
1. Algemarin
2. Bumble and Bumble
3. Oscar Blandi
4. Batiste
5. Pssst
6. Klorane
If you still aren't sure, I think you should search for reviews for each brand and find the right shampoo for your hair. Batiste Fresh dry shampoo works pretty well for my hair, which is a pretty rough hair. I have to admit that I have a lot of hair and it's very strong which doesn't get greasy at all (unless I use tons of hairspray, which happens rarely) and it's somewhere between curly and wavy.
I hope my review helped you and I'm waiting for you to tell me if you tried this and if you liked it!

Make-up lesson: Modalitati de aplicare a tusului/ Ways to apply a liquid eyeliner Part I

2012-02-06T09:24:00.000-08:00

Tusul este si cred ca va fi mereu ,,piesa de rezintenta" intr-un machiaj. Nu stiu daca ati observat, pana acum nu am facut nici un machiaj fara sa folosesc tus pentru ca pur si simplu mi se pare ca lipseste ceva si cred ca fara el intreaga ,,capodopera" arata fix ca atunci cand ai fard pe gene si trebuie neaparat sa te dai cu rimel ca sa acoperi treaba asta...Totusi, am observat ca multe persoane intreaba ,,cum se aplica tusul?". Ei bine, sunt mai multe metode si m-am gandit sa va arat cateva dintre ele astazi. Cel mai bine este ca fiecare sa-si adapteze metoda de aplicare a tusului si forma liniei in functie de forma ochiului... Citeste mai departe pentru explicatii detaliate...

The liquid eyeliner is and will always be the ,,hot spot" of a make-up. I don't know if you noticed, but till now I have never done a make-up tutorial without using the liquid eyeliner because I simply think that without it, the whole make-up looks unfinished... Anyway, I noticed that some people are asking ,,hoe to apply the liquid eyeliner?". Oh well, there are many ways and I thought I should show a you a few of them today. The best thing to do is to adapt the way of applying and the whole ,,line" you are drawing on your style and on the shape of the eye. Read more for more details...

Iata ,,stilurile" de aplicare a tusului identificate de mine astazi...
Here are the styles/ ways to apply the liquid eyeliner that I discovered today...

1. Stilul cu codita, poate cel mai raspandit dintre toate. Metoda este simpla: se traseaza linia deasupra genelor de pe pleoapa superioara, iar spre exterior se traseaza o codita indreptata in sus...
The classy style-maybe the most famous of them all. It is very simple, just draw a line above the upper eyelashes and end it with a wing on the outer corner of the eye which is angled towards the eyebrows

2. Stilul cu codita dreapta, care este asemanator cu cel cu codita clasica, doar ca linia din exterior nu se mai traseaza in sus. Acest fel se potriveste numai unui anumit tip de ochi (de exemplu ochii foarte mari).
The straight line style, which is similar to the classy one, but the wing line goes straight. This style usually fits to some kinds of eye shapes (for example, for big eyes)

3. Stilul simplu. Acesta este la fel ca si cele de mai sus, doar ca nu au codita. Acesta se potriveste din nou, persoanelor cu ochii foarte mari, sau celoc cu ochii extrem de migdalati. Cel mai mult este folosit deasupra genelor false. se poate ,,continua" si in partea inferioara, ca in poza a doua
The simple style, has just the line above the eyelashes without any wings. This fits, again, big eyes and people who have cat eye shape. It is mostly used above the fake eyelashes and it can be ,,continued" under the lower lashes too (second picture)

3. Stilul cu linie dedesubt, unde linia clasica de deasupra este trasata sub genele pleoapei inferioare, iar codita este trasata la fel, spre exterior. Acesta este potrivit personalor cu gene mari (si evident, eu nu sunt una dintre acele persoane)

The lower line style, is very just like the classy style, but inverted, because the line goes now under the lower lashes. This usually fits people with big eyelashes (and I'm not one of them obviosly)

4. Stilul arabesc, unde toti pasii sunt facuti ca si la stilul clasic, iar in partea inferioara se mai traseaza o linie, care in interiorul ochiului este indreptata in jos.

The arabic styl, where the upper part is identical to the classy style, but in the lower part you have to make another line, where in the inner corner it goes in the opposite direction of the brows.

5. Stilul ,,contur total", unde se traseaza codita si in exteriorul ochiului, in sus, si in interiorul ochiului, in jos. Acesta este potrivit pentru fetele care doresc sa adopte machiajul Cat eye.

The total contour style, where there's a wing in the outer corner of the eye towards the brow and there's another wing in the inner corner going the opposite direction. This is known as the ,,cat eye" style.

6. Stilul Extra Dramatic, unde intreaga pleoapa superioara este acoperita cu tus, la fel si pleoapa inferioara. Atentie! Recomand sa se lase ceva spatiu in partea interioaran a ochiului pentru un fard ceva mai deschis la culoare. Astfel se lumineaza ochiul si nu arata atat de dark.

The extra dramatic style, whre the whole upper eyelid is covered in eyeliner and the same goes with the lower eyelid. I advice you to leave some space in the inner corner of the eye for a lighter eyeshadow. This way your eyes will look lighter and bigger, without having a super dark look.

Va multumesc frumos pentru vizita si va astept in continuare sa participati la giveawayul din postul anterior! Urmeaza in curand si partea a doua!

Thanks for visiting and I'm waiting for you to participate to the giveaway from the previous post. Keep watching because soon there will be a second part for this!

Machiajul de astazi este ceva mai colorat decat cele din zilele anterioare... L-am facut cu gandul la un apus colorat, de unde si vine numele postarii.

Ice Queen, machiaj de iarna 2012

2012-01-27T09:16:00.000-08:00

Make-up-ul de astazi este ceva mai excentric fata de ce am facut zilele trecute, dar daca va opriti la jumatate, este perfect pentru un make-up de seara, mai ales pentru fetele cu ochio caprui. Pe mine nu ma avantajeaza asa de bine albastru, in comparatie cu alte culori de machiaj. Astazi am vrut sa fac un make-up de Queen of ice, asa ca nah, sper ca va place. Sunt constienta si de micile greseli, dar fiecare, in timp, invata! Multumesc si va mai astept!

Today's make-up is a bit more exagerated than the previous ones, but if you stop halfway it will look pefect for a nightlife make-up, mostly for girls with brown or hazel eyes. On my eyes blue doesn't look as good as other eyeshadow make-up. Today I wanted to make a Queen of ICE make-up, so I hope you'll like it. I'm aware of my small mistakes, but I know people learn in time by exercises! Thank you and I'll see u next time!

For english steps read at the bottom of the page!

Produse: Concealer no name, farduri blue (120 color make-up kit Fraulein), mascara L'oreal, Creion negru Ada, creion alb Ada, Creion Burjois Aqua-Turquoise, tus Miss Sporty, gene false Flor Mar, lipici gene false no name, perlute (de la mercerie)

Pasul 1: In loc de primer am aplicat un concealer pentru ca am observat ca parca aplic culorile mai usor. Acesta esrte un concealer tip creion no name pe care am dat 8 lei...

Pasul 2: Aplicati un fard alb pe pleoapa inferioara

Pasul 3: In coltul extern pleoapei superioare aplicam un fard Albastru- turquoise , iar deasupra culorilor aplicate, un fard albastru inchis

Pasul 4: Aplicam creionul negru in interiorul pleoapei inferioare si sub genele de jos, creionul Aqua

Pasul 5: Aplicam tus si mascara. Daca vreti, va opriti aici, pasii urmatori sunt pentru cele care vor ceva mai artistic, mai deosebit...

Pasul 6 (optional): Aplicam gene false, iar sub creionul Aqua de pe pleoapa inferioara mai tragem o linie cu tusul, dar de data aceasta codita se termina in interiorul ochiului, in jos. In capat, aplicam perlute folosindu-ne de lipiciul de gene, fix pe conturul machiajului creat. Enjoy!

Astept comentarii cu pareri si poze in cazul in care incercati sa refaceti machiajul!

Step 3: On the outer corner of the upper eyelid I applied a Turquoise eyeshadow and above these I used a dark blue one.
Step 4: In the inner part of the lower eyelid I used the black eyeliner and under the lower eyelashes I applied the aqua eyeliner from Sephora.
Step 5: I applied the liquid eyeliner. You can add mascara and stop here if you don't want your make-up to be too exagerated

Spring Nostalgia- Machiaj de primavara 2012 Pas cu pas

2012-01-25T07:25:00.000-08:00

Nici nu a inceput bine sa ninga si deja ma gandesc la primavara, la verde si la mirosul de flori... La sacouri si jachete subtirele si cizmulite dragute. Vreau sa scap de hainele groase si de culorile intunecate si sa trec la viata, la pete colorate. Aceste ganduri m-au inspirat sa fac machiajul de astazi, care are multe nuante de verde ce semnifica culoarea predominanta a primaverii si putin mov pentru copacii ce infloresc... Sper ca va place si astept sa-mi spuneti parerea voastra!

It just started to snow and I'm already thinking about snow, about green stuff and about the smell of blooming flowers... About blazers and thin cute jackets and some cute boots. I want to get rid of all those thick clothes and dark colors and get everything back to life, to colorful spots. All these thoughts inspired me to make today;s make-up which has a lot of green colors whoch show the main color of spring and a bit of purple which show the blooming trees. I hope you like it and I'm waiting for your oppinion!

2012 Valentine's Step by step

2012-01-23T03:42:00.000-08:00

E anul 2012, iar eu una m-am saturat sa vad de Valentine's numai tipuri de machiaj pinky-purple. Asa ca m-am gandit ca ar fi cazul sa mai schimb ceva la clasicul machiaj cu care toate suntem obisnuite... Citeste mai jos pentru a afla pas cu pas cum poti sa-l obtii si tu!

For english read at the bottom of the page

Pasul 1: Aplica concealer pe pleoapa superioara si sub ochi si apoi aplica numai pe pleoapa superioara un primer (baza de machiaj). Eu am folosit un concealer no name si un primer Avon Anew.

Pasul 2: Aplica un fard galben pe pleoapa mobila. In cazul meu, am folosit un fard de pe o paleta asemanatoare cu cea de 120 culori, no name (Cel numerotat cu 1 in pozele de jos) . La fel, in paleta de 120 culori gasiti mai multe nuante de galben, Eu il recomand pe cel mai aprins.

Pasul 3: Aplica un fard roz deasupra (fardul numarul 2)

Pasul 4: Intre cele doua farduri, aplica un fard negru pentru a contura linia pleoapei mobile (Fardul notat cu nr 3), iar apoi traseaza cu un creion negru conturul in ineriorul pleoapei inferioare.

Pasul 5: Deasupra genelor, traseaza o linie cu un tus lichid si formeaza in capatul ochiului o codita care sa se uneasca cu fardul negru. Dupa aceasta aplica rimel in doua straturi (eu am folosit Volum Express de la Maybeline)

Pasul 6: pe pleoapa inferioara traseaza o linie subtire cu un fard mov (am uitat sa pun nr pe poza. Eu am folosit primul fard din a doua poza), iar sub sprancene un fard nude putin sidefat (penultima linie din poza a 2-a, fardul nr 5)

Farduri/ Eyeshadows:

English

It's 2012 and personally, I am sick of seing the same type of make-up on Valentine's every year, with pink and purple. This is why this year I thought I should change something to this classy make-up style that we all got used to...

Step 1: Apply concealer on the eyelid and under the eye
Step 2: Apply a yellow eyeshadow on the upper eyelid (nr 1 in the pictures above).
Step 3: Apply a pink eyeshadow above the yellow one (nr 2)
Step 4: Apply black eyeshadow (nr 3) between the yellow one and the pink one. Use a black eyeliner in the inner part of the lower eyelid.
Step 5: With a liquid eyeliner make a line above the eyelashes and in the outer corner of the eye make a line till you reach the black eyeshadow.
Step 6: Add mascara (mine is Volume Express from Maybeline)
Step 7: Under the lower eyelashes apply a fine line with a purple make-up or a purple eyeliner

Enjoy! If you try this make-up at home, please send me pictures and show me your work!

Haifa Whebe Make-up

2012-01-20T07:48:00.000-08:00

Astazi ma uitam pe internet la tot felul de tipuri da make-up din lumea araba si brusc mi-am amintit de Haifa Whebe, artista cunoscuta. Asa m-am gandit sa fac un tutorial cu un machiaj inspirat dintr-un look de-al ei...

For english read at the bottom of the page

Ai nevoie de: Macar doua farduri maro (preferabil 3, cu nuante din ce in ce mai inchise), un fard bej, un fard roz/ mov, fard negru, tus, creion negru, rimel, creion de sprancene, blush, iluminator, ruj portocaliu/coraiiles si optional gene false si baza de machiaj.

Pasi:
1.Se aplica intai un anticearcane si apoi baza de machiaj
2.Se pune nuanta de maro cea mai deschisa pe toata suprafata pleoapei mobile.
3.Deasupra acestuia se pune fardul cel mai inchis la culoare, pana spre exteriorul ochiului, dandu-i-se forma de cat eye (ochi de pisica).
4.Cu aceeasi culoare trebule sa va duceti si pe pleoapa inferioara, punand mai putin in interiorul ochiului si mai mult in interior.
5.Cu un creion negru se formeaza conturul dintre pleoapa mobila si inceputul arcadei cu negru, iar apoi cu fardul negru se intinde pana cand se intrepatrunde cu celelalte culori. La fel se face si in interiorul ochiului, jos si apoi intre gene si sub acestea, dupa care se vine cu fardul negru si se aplica pe linia neagra de sub gene. Eu am preferat sa pun tus si sa alungesc linia spre interorul ochiului...
6.Cu fardul maro de pe pleoapa mobila (sau unul care sa fie mai inchis decat acesta, dar mai deschis decat cel cu care ati dat forma de cat eye) se face un contur foarte fin deasupra machiajului deja creeat.
7.Se aplica fardul bej deschis sub sprancene si in interiorul ochiului.
8.Se traseaza o linie cu tusul deasupra genelor, iar in exteriorul ochiului se traseaza o codita
9.Se aplica genele false
10. Se traseaza conturul sprancenelor cu un creion maro
11. Cu blushul maro se trece fix in adancitura formata sub pometi, iar pe pometi se pune fardul iluminator. In acest fel, pometii sunt scosi in evidenta
12. Cu o pensula se aplica rujul pe buze

English

Today I was looking on the internet at all these arabic make-up types and suddenly i reminded about Haifa Whebe, the well-known artist. This is how I thought about making a tutorial with a make-up inspired by one of her looks.
You need: At least two brown eyeshadows (It's better if you get three, with shades darker and darker), a nude eyeshadow, a pink/purple eyeshadow, black eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner, normal eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow pencil, blush, highlighting blush, an orange/ coraiiles lipstick and optional, fake eyelashe and primer.

Steps:

1.Firstly apply a concealer and the primer
2.Put the light make-up shade on the upper eyelid
3.Above that, apply the dark brown shadow till the outer edge of the eye, giving it the cat eye look
4.With the same color go to the lower eyelid adding lesser in the inner corner than on the outer corner

5.With a black eyeliner draw the edge between the two brown shades and then with a black eyeshadow blend it with the other colors. Do the same inside the lower eyelid, between the lowe lashes and under. I preffered using the liquid eyeliner for this.

6.With the middle brown shade put a fine line above the dark brown.
7.Apply the nude eyeshadow under the eyebrows and in the inner corner of the eyes
8.Make a line with the liquid eyeliner above the eyelashes and make it a bit longer on the end of the eyes
9.Apply the fake eyelashes
10. Apply the brow pencil
11. With the brown blush apply under the cheekbones and use the highlighting blush on the cheekbones.
12. Apply the lipstick with a brush

Astazi eu si prietenul meu ne-am gandit sa facem un DIY (do it yourself) mai deosebit, mai ales ca de cand cu ultima promotie de la Coca Cola am pastrat sticlele si vroiam sa le facem ceva deosebit pentru a le folosi in scop decorativ.

Reteta Cheesecake cu portocale/ Orange cheesecake

2012-01-12T04:49:00.000-08:00

Prima data am mancat cheesecake in UK si m-am indragostit pe loc. Eu personal, urasc branza mai mult decat orice, dar atunci cand mananc cheesecake nu simt acel gust pe care eu il dispretuiesc atat de mult. Asa ca m-am gandit sa incerc si eu sa fac un cheesecake si ma rugam sa iasa macar asemanator cu prajitura congelata pe care o mancasem si sa imi placa. Iata ca mi-a iesit si m-am gandit sa impartasesc aceasta minunata reteta si cu voi.

For english read at the bottom of the page

Ingrediente pentru blat:
- 20-30 biscuiti pisati
- 3 linguri de zahar
- 100g unt
- esenta de vanilie

Se amesteca si se pun intr-o tava cu pereti mobili. Se aseaza blatul obtinut pe fundul tavii si pe margini. Se lasa in cuptor 10 minute.

Ingrediente pentru crema
- 1kg de branza-crema (eu am cumparat crema din imagine de la Lidl)
- 250g zahar
- 3 linguri cu varf de faina
- coaja rasa de lamaie (o lamaie)
- 4 oua mari
- 300ml smantana
- foarte putina sare (un varf de cutit)
- esenta de vanilie

Se mixeaza branza pana devine spumoasa, iar apoi se adauga (in ordine): zaharul, aromele, sarea, faina si smantana. Dupa ce acestea sunt bine incorporate, iar crema devine omogena, se pun pe rand ouale. Amestecul obtinut se lasa la cuptor 30-40 minute pana capata o crusta aurie.

Pentru topping eu am facut un fel de gem de portocale (care nu mi-a iesit asa de bun din pacate), dar se poate pune frisca, ciocolata, dulceata etc.

Si iata ce a iesit:

English

Ingredients for the crust:

20-30 digestive/ tea mashed biscuits , 3 tbs of sugar, 100gramsof butter,vanilla flavor

Mix the ingredients and put them on a pot with detachablewalls. Leave in the oven for 10 minutes.

For the topping, feel free too chose from chocolate to creamor jam. They all go well. Enjoy!
