HALLOWEEN Makeup: How to look like CLEOPATRA

Hello girls,

In this post I will show you how to look like Cleopatra. I know it very last minute but I figured that some of you might celebrate Halloween tonight. For this makeup look you need a black liquid liner, a black eye-liner and for eye shadows you only need three colors: blue, yellow and gold. So let's move on to the steps I followed in order to achieve a Cleopatra makeup look.



In aceasta postare va voi arata cum puteti arata ca frumoasa Cleopatra. Stiu ca este putin cam tarziu dar m-am gandit ca poate unii dintre voi sarbatoriti in seara aceasta Halloween-ul si v-ar placea sa va inspirati din machiajul creat de mine. Pentru acest machiaj aveti nevoie de un tus negru, un creion de ochi negru, iar in materie de farduri aveti nevoie doar de trei culori: albastru, galben si auriu. Sa trecem la treaba!!


1.

 I used a very dark foundation and I also used a black eye shadow to fill in and reshape my eyebrows. I made them thicker and longer than my natural eyebrows. 




Am folosit un fond de ten foarte inchis si un fard negru pentru a-mi umple sprancenele si pentru a le da o noua forma. Le-am facut mult mai groase si mai lungi decat sprancenele mele naturale.







2.

 I used a blue eyeshadow on my lid and I blended it with a clean fluffy brush.

Am folosit un fard albastru pe pleoape pe care l-am blenduit cu o pensula curata.

3.

 I applied a yellow shade up to my brows blending the blue and the yellow shadows together.

Am aplicat un fard galben pana la sprancene, amestecand fardul albastru cu cel galben.

4. For the inner-corner I used a gold shadow.

Pentru coltul intern al ochiului am folosit un fard auriu.

5.
Now it's time for the fun part: black liquid liner. Play with it as you wish, you can create a cat-eye, a double wing, a simple wing, whichever you prefer. I lined my upper and lower lashline with the black liner, creating a double wing at the outer corner of my eye. 




Acum este timpul pentru partea distractiva: tusul negru. Puteti sa faceti orice fel de linie cu tusul, puteti crea o linie simpla, una dubla, o linie mai groasa sau mai subtire, cum doriti. Eu am preferat sa imi conturez ochii folosind tusul atat pe pleoapa superioara cat si pe cea inferioara, iar in coltul extern am facut o codita dubla.







6. 

I applied some falsies to intensify the look.

Am aplicat gene false.

7. For lips I offer you two options, I personally like the second one better. 

Pentru buze v-am oferit doua posibilitati, cea de-a doua imi place totusi mai mult.

HALLOWEEN: Barbie inspired makeup look

HELLO GORGEOUSSSSSS,


Halloween is right around the corner so I thought that I should do something about it! I did not want to do anything scary or bloody, so I decided to create a Barbie inspired makeup look. I think that you could wear this makeup, a simple pink dress and some high-heeled shoes and you're ready for Halloween, you don't have to wear any special costume. It's easy and funnnnnnn!



Mai sunt doar cateva zile pana la Halloween asa ca m-am decis sa fac ceva pentru aceasta ocazie! Nu am vrut sa fac nimic inspaimantator, sangeros etc. asa ca m-am decis sa creez un machiaj inspirat de ... BARBIE. Daca purtati acest machiaj, o rochita roz si niste pantofi cu toc sunteti perfect aranjate pentru aceasta petrecere, nu cred ca este nevoie de un costum special pentru asa ceva. Este foarte usor si foarte distractivvvvvv!





My inspiration for this makeup was this photo.



Inspiratia mea pentru acest machiaj a fost aceasta poza.







1.
First of all, I had to lighten my skin-color because Barbie is very fair. I didn't have any light foundations so I improvized using concealer all over my face. I used concealer on my eyebrows too and then I applied a very light brown shadow on them to make them lighter too because Barbie is blonde so she has very light brows.

In primul rand a trebuit sa fac ceva pentru a-mi schimba nuanta tenului pentru ca Barbie are un ten foarte deschis la culoare. Nu aveam un fond de ten atat de deschis asa ca am folosit concealer pe toata fata. Am aplicat corectorul si pe sprancene, iar apoi am folosit un fard maro foarte deschis pentru a le face si pe ele mai deschise la culoare.






2.

I applied a white color all over my lids, up to my brows.

Am aplicat un fard alb pe toata pleoapa, pana la sprancene.






3.
With a very deep brown shadow I cut the crease creating a very precise line. I used a brown shadow as a guideline for the dark shadows I used later. I blended that line and then I applied a purple shadow in the same manner. I blended the purple color with a pink shadow to create a gradient effect.


Paralel cu linia genelor am creat o noua linie, folosind un maro inchis. Am folosit maro pentru a crea o baza pentru culorile inchise pe care le-am aplicat mai tarziu. Am blenduit maro-ul, dupa care am aplicat un fard mov in aceeasi maniera. Am blenduit movul folosind un roz deschis pentru a crea un efect de degrade.

4.

I reapplied the white shade because I wanted it to stand out very well.

Am aplicat din noul albul pentru ca vroiam sa iasa foarte bine in evidenta.











5.
I lined my eyes with a black liquid liner and I made a pretty dramatic wing.

Mi-am conturat ochii folosind un tus negru, iar la capatul ochiului am facut o codita destul de dramatica.

6.

I used false eyelashes on both my lower and top lashes.

Am folosit gene false atat pe genele superioare, cat si pe cele inferioare.











I lined my lower lashline because the eyelash band was too visible.

Mi-am dat cu creion negru pe linia apei pentru ca a nu se mai vedea banda genelor false

7.

For blush and for lips I used a very deep pink.

Pentru buze si blush am folosit un roz foarte aprins.

Our makeup is complete. Here are some photos with the finished look. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope that you'll try to recreate this look for your Halloween party. Kissesssssss!

Machiajul este gata. Va atasez cateva poze cu look-ul final. Sper ca v-a placut si poate v-am convins sa incercati acest machiaj pentru noaptea de Halloween. Va puuup!

My Essence Collection: Primer, Eye Shadows, Eye-Liner, Blush

Hello my beautiful ones,

Today I will talk to you about some Essence products I purchased throughout this year and I will share with you my thoughts on them. Essence is a fairly cheap brand, their prices are comparable to the ELF ones. In my town, Essence products started to be commercialized for a year or so, and since then I collected some products which I will show here.

Astazi vreau sa va vorbesc despre cateva produse Essence pe care le-am achizitionat pe parcursul acestui an si o sa va impartasesc care sunt impresiile mele despre ele. Esence este o marca destul de ieftina, preturile lor sunt comparabile cu cele de la ELF. In orasul meu, produsele Essence au inceput sa fie comercializate de aproximativ un an, iar in acest timp am reusit sa adaug cateva in colectia mea de machiaje.

The first thing I bought from Essence was their primer because I wanted to see if it is comparable to my Elf one. They are both very cheap primers, around 10 RON, but I have to say that the Essence one has a few extra qualities which made me stick with it and forget about my Elf primer. First of all, it is more long-lasting, around 8 to 10 hours, which is very well for me since I have very crease-prone lids. The second bonus is the fact that the Essence primer has a tint to it, which will hide any veins or discoloration you might have on your lids, it will create a perfect canvas for your eyes shadows. Also, although they have the same amount of product in the jar, the primer from Essence lasted much longer than the primer from Elf, around 3-4 months of almost daily use. All in all, I have only good things to say about it, I repurchased it three times this year and I will definitely buy it once again.

Primul produs Essence pe care l-am cumparat a fost baza lor pentru fardul de ochi pentru ca vroiam sa vad daca este la fel sau mai buna cea de la ELF, de care eram foarte multumita. Ambele primere sunt ieftine, aproximativ 10 RON, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca baza de la Essence are cateva calitati in plus fata de cea de la Elf care m-au atras mai mult. In primul rand este mult mai rezistenta, fardurile raman intacte timp de 8-10 ore, ceea ce este foarte bine pentru mine pentru ca mereu am avut probleme cu fardurile care mi se strangeau in pliu. Al doilea bonus este faptul ca primerul Essence are o nuanta asemanatoare cu nuanta pielii, ceea ce inseamna ca va ascunde orice vinisoare sau roseata de pe pleoape. De asemenea, desi au cam acelasi gramaj, primerul de la Essence ma tine mai mult timp, in jur de 3-4 luni, in conditiile in care il folosesc aproape zilnic. Am numai lucruri bune de zis despre acest produs, l-am recumparat de trei ori in acest an si cu siguranta il voi cumpara din nou.

Let’s move on to eye shadows. I have two quads and one single eye shadow from them and so far I am very impressed with their quality. I think they are very comparable to the Sleek ones and they are much pigmented than the Elf eye shadows. Essence did a very good job when designing their shadows. Also the price is very affordable, for a quad I paid around 20 RON and for the single shadow I paid 8 RON. As you can tell from the pictures they are very pigmented and they blend very well. I also have to say that you won’t have as much fallout when putting on Essence shadows, especially if you spray your brush with a little water before packing on the color on your lid.

  

Sa trecem la fardurile de ochi. Am in colectia mea doua palete si un fard single de la ei si sunt foarte impresionata de calitatea lor. Mi se par foarte asemanatoare cu fardurile Sleek si, cu siguranta, sunt mult mai pigmentate si mai bune decat fardurile Elf. Essence a facut o treaba foarte buna in privinta fardurilor de ochi. De asemenea, pretul este foarte convenabil, am dat in jur de 20 de RON pentru paleta cu 4 culori, iar pentru fardul single am platit in jur de 8 RON. Puteti vedea in poze cat de pigmentate sunt. Pe langa pigmentare, se amesteca foarte bine si mi se pare ca nu pica aproape deloc pe obraz cand le aplic, mai ales daca ud putin pensula inainte sa aplic culoarea pe pleoapa.

I’ve also bought from Essence a couple Silky Touch Blushes, a pink and a middle-tone brown. I am more satisfied with the brown one, I use it to contour my cheekbones, the pink blush is too light for me so I have to pack the color very well for it to be visible on my skin. It’s a more baby-doll pink which I am sure it will look very well on a more fair-skin girl. I need a deeper pink for my skin tone. Their texture is very good, they blend very well so I have nothing to complain in this respect.

Am mai cumparat de la Essence cateva din Blush-urile lor Silky Touch, un roz si un maro. Sunt mai multumita de cel maro, pe care il folosesc pentru a-mi contura obrajorii bucalati : )), blush-ul roz este putin prea deschis pentru nuanta tenului meu si nu prea se observa cand ma dau cu el. Cu siguranta blushul roz s-ar vedea foarte bine pe un ten deschis la culoare, dar pentru mine nu prea se potriveste. In rest, textura lor este foarte buna, se aplica foarte frumos, asa ca nu am de ce sa ma plang de ele.

My least favorite product from Essence is the black liquid eye-liner. Although I like the fact that it is very long-lasting and it is a very deep black, very pigmented and all that jazz, I HATE the brush. It is very stiff, its tip it’s not pointy at all so you can’t really create a precise line and the brush is way too big for a liquid eye liner. There is no way that you can create a small, subtle line with it. It is all or nothing : )) Personally I don’t mind a more dramatic line, but I don’t like the fact that I am not able to do a straight line with it, it is always a little messy whichever technique I use. You will see in the photos I will attach that my eyeliner was a little messy, it was the best I could do with this product. I will definitely finish this product because, as I said I like the fact that it is very black and long-lasting but I don’t think that I will repurchase it any time soon.

Un produs care m-a dezamagit putin este tusul de ochi negru. Desi imi place ca este foarte rezistent, are o culoare foarte intensa de negru si este foarte pigmentat, nu imi place DELOC aplicatorul. Este foarte teapan, este mult prea mare pentru un tus de ochi, iar varful aplicatorului nu este deloc ascutit pentru a crea o linie mai subtire. Nu vad nicio modalitate pentru a face o linie mai subtila si mai micuta. Este totul sau nimic cu acest tus. Personal nu imi displace o linie mai groasa cu tusul, dar nici acea linie groasa nu o pot realiza drept pentru ca aplicatorul este mult prea mare. Veti vedea in pozele de mai jos ca nu am reusit sa creez o linie dreapta cu acest tus, oricat m-am chinuit mi-a fost imposibil. Totusi voi termina acest produs pentru ca imi place culoarea si rezistenta lui, dar nu cred ca il voi recumpara.

This is all about my Essence collection so far. What about you? Have you tried any Essence products? What are your thoughts about them?

 Here are some pictures with several looks I created using Essence products. I hope you enjoyed my post and I will talk to you soon!!! BESOSSS
