My Soufeel Story

     Today we have a beautiful jewelry, that from the first moment became my favorite and without it I never go outside. I was charmed by the stories behind Pandora's bracelets for each in every person, but the prices were a little to high for me so I kept wishing. Now there I find the perfect alternative, I understand it is silver so I do not except low prices, but reasonable ones and Soufeel provides that and also a variety from where to choose.
     So I took my laptop, made myself comfortable and started looking through the website, they have the charms grouped in categories, so it is easy to see what you are interested in.


     Astazi avem o bijuterie frumoasa, care a devenit preferata mea din prima clipa si fara de care nu am iesit afara. Am fost fermecata de povestile fiecarei persoane din spatele bratarilor Pandora, dar preturile au fost un pic cam piperate pentru mine asa ca am continuat sa visez. Acum am gasit alternativa perfecta, inteleg ca sunt de argint astfel ca nu ma astept la preturi prea mici, doar la unele rezonabile si Soufeel ofera acest lucru precum si o varietate mare de unde sa alegi,
     Astfel mi-am luat laptopul, m-am facut comoda si am inceput sa ma uit pe website, unde charmurile sunt grupate pe categorii, fiind usor sa cautati ce va intereseaza.

     The package took about one month to arrive and you will receive it at customs. I really liked the care that went in packing the products. Inside the envelope there was a box with their name on it, inside it was a cute jewellery box that had the bracelet and the charms, each in a plastic bag and stoppers for the charms. Also there was a gift bag, so you can easily give it to somebody.
     I know that I do not have Pandora, but I looked at it in shops and other people and I do not find a difference in quality between them
 


     A durat in jur de o luna sa ajunga si a venit la vamal. Mi-a placut grija cu care au impachetat produsele. In plus am gasit o cutie cu Soufeel, iar inauntry era o cutie de bijuterii care continea bratara si charm-urile, fiecare impachetate intr-o punga separata si stopere pentru charmuri. De asemenea era si o punga de cadouri, astfel ca poti direct sa o faci cadou cuiva drag. 
     Stiu ca nu am Pandora, insa m-am uitat la acestea in magazine si nu vad o diferenta din perspectiva calitatii intre acestea.


     I chose a loose bracelet, I have 17cm circumference and chose the size 19. For a few charms it fits well on my hand, I have a little room, but if you want more charms I recommend a larger size. I chose not to add safety charms and I am glad, because it is really hard to open it without breaking my nails, so I doubt it will open by itself.

     Am ales o bratara lejera, am masurat 17cm circumferinta si am ales marimea 19. Pentru cateva charmuri vine bine pe mana, mai am un pic de spatiu, dar daca doriti sa adaugati mai multe charmuri recomand o marime mai mare. Am ales sa nu adaug lanturi de securitate si ma bucur, imi este greu sa o deschid fara sa imi rup unghiile, asa ca ma indoiesc ca o sa se deschisa singura.


     Now let's talk about the charms, the bracelet was easy to choose, but from the variety of charms I chose five that represent me. The first one I choose was a vintage heart pendant, that also you can wear it on a necklace. If you know me that you certainly know the favorite shape is heart and I also love vintage decorations, clothes, so this charm combines them.

     Acum sa vorbim despre charmuri, bratara a fost usor de ales, dar din varietatea de talismane am ales 5 care sa ma reprezinte. Prima data am ales o un talisman pandantiv sub forma de o inima vintage, care o puteti purta ca si colier. Daca ma cunoasteti, atunci stiti ca forma mea preferata este cea de inima si de asemenea iubesc decoratiunile, hainele vintage astfel ca acestea le reuneste perfect.

     When I was looking in the Murano Glass Charm category I found this beautiful blue charm one with little air bubbles that just scream water, ocean...When I was younger my parent told me that I was a frog because you couldn't get me out of the water when we went to the sea in vacation, so even when I was little I loved the water and that didn't change when I grew up.

     Cand ma uitam prin categoria talismanelor cu sticla de Murano am gasit acesta superba albastra cu mici bule de aer care pur si simplu striga apa, ocean, mare...Cand eram mica parintii mei ziceau ca sunt ca o broscuta deoarece nu reuseai sa ma mai scoti din apa cand mergeam la mare in vacanta, astfel de cand eram mica iubeam apa si acesta nu s-a schimbat odata ce am crescut.

      The blue rhinestone charm is actually a birthday stone for March and I am in February, but the one for my month is like a purple pink shade and my favorite color is blue so I choose this one. I am pleased of the details and how well is made with the little stones, it looks beautiful.

      Talismanul cu pietricele albastre e de fapt talisman cu piatra norocoasa a lunii Martie si eu sunt in februarie, dar cea corespunzatoare lunii mele este o nuanta de mov roz si culoarea mea preferata este albastru asa ca am ales-o pe aceasta. Sunt foarte multumita de detalii si de cat de bine sunt facute micile pietricele, arata foarte frumos.


     I love animals in general, not only cats, and I wanted a charm to illustrate that. Initially I looked at the cat charms, because I have two cats, but one was like to upset and the other one to big and when I asked my boyfriend he said to choose this one because I do not like only cats and this paw charm is perfect to say that.

     Imi plac animalele in general, nu doar pisicile, si am vrut un talisman care sa ilustreze acest lucru. Initial ma uitam la cele sub forma de pisica, pentru ca am doua pisici, dar una parea trista si alta era prea mare astfel ca l-am intrebat pe prietenul meu ce sa aleg si acesta a spus sa o aleg pe aceasta deoarece nu imi plac doar pisicile si acest talisman sugereaza asta.

      This next charm actually is a present for my boyfriend, I knew when I saw it on the website that he would love to have it. He is from Israel and this represents a good luck charm for him, he has one on his keys and one in his car, so this pendant is perfect to wear on his necklace. It is really well made and has a delicate rhinestone in the middle.

      Urmatorul talisman este de fapt cadou pentru prietenul meu, stiam de cum l-am vazut pe site ca o sa ii placa. Acesta este din Israel si talismanul este pentru noroc, are unul la chei, unul la masina, astfel ca acest pandantiv este perfect sa il poarte la colier. Este realizat foarte bine si are o pietricica micuta in mijloc.

      All the charms have the 925 silver marking and they are real silver. I was pleasantly surprised of how well they are made and how much attention to details. I am so pleased with what I received and already have in mind another order for me and also for my boyfriend, they have a few charms that he also likes.
    
     Toate talismanele au marcajul de 925 si chiar sunt din argint. Am fost placut surprinsa de cat de bine sunt realizate si de atentia pentru detalii. Sunt multumita de ce am primit si deja am in minte o alta comanda pentru mine si prietenul meu, deoarece mai sunt si alte talismane pe placul lui.
      The shipping is free for orders over 50$ and they have 365 day returns. Also they have other promotions like free ring with orders over 59$, free 925 charm with orders over 79$ and free bracelets over 99$. From time to time they have pre-sale and you can get charms with 10$.
 
     Transportul este gratuit pentru comenzii mai mgrare de 50$ si au perioada de returnare de 365 zile. De asemenea au des promotii precum inel gratuit pentru comenzi mai mari de 59$, talisman gratuit pentru sume mai mari de 79$ si bratara pentru comanda mai mare de 99$. Din cand in cand au si pre-sale-uri si puteti gasi charmuri cu 10$.

Moyou Nails 105 Stamping Plate

     Today we continue in the girly way we started the week with a stamping plate with hearts and bows from Moyou Nails.

     Astazi continuam in aceeasi maniera girly cum am inceput saptamana cu o placuta pentru stampilat cu inimioare si fundite de la Moyou Nails.


     The Moyou Nails 105 stamping plate has 7 small designs, 4 hearts and 3 bows. Some of them are empty inside so you can make stamping decals or use them as they are.
     I like that you have a small bow with little dots, I think it is really cute. From the hearts my favorite is the middle one, it looks great with the zig zag. I thinks it is really nice that the hearts are not symmetrical, because rarely you draw perfect hearts so it kind of imitates nature painting.
     The designs are small so I recommend using the small end of a stamp to positionate where you want them on the nails. Also the designs are separated so it is no problem to pick up only to one you want. I had no trouble with the transfer, but you must really clean those fine lines between the uses. I stamped with special polish and normal one with no problem.


     Placuta pentru stampilat 105 de la Moyou Nails are 7 modele mici, dintre care 4 inimii si 3 fundite. Unele din modele sunt goale inauntru astfel putand fi folosite pentru stamping decalas sau asa cum sunt. 
     Imi place tare mult fundita cu pucte, mi se pare tare draguta. Dintre inimii favorita mea este cea din mijloc, arata super realizata cu zig zaguri. Cred ca este foarte bine ca sunt si inimioare care nu sunt perfect simetrice, deoarece rare ori desenezi inima perfecta astfel ca imita un pic cum ai face in mod natural.
     Modele sunt mici astfel ca recomand sa folositi capatul mai mic de stampila pentru a pozitiona mai bine pe unghie. De asemenea modele sunt separate bine astfel ca nu aveti probleme sa luati pe cea dorita. Nu am avut probleme cu transferul, dar trebuie sa curatati bine liniile fine intre utilizari. Am folosit atat oja speciala, cat si normala fara nici o problema.
     I really like this plate and you can see that it can be used to create various manicures. I think it is like one of the essential stamping plate you need to have, because you can just place a bow or a heart on a manicure and it is completely different. You do not need to make a complicated design to have a beautiful manicure.

     Imi place aceasta placuta si dupa cum puteti  observa poate fi folosita pentru a crea manichiuri diverse. Cred ca este o placuta din seria celor esentiale pe care trebuie sa le aveti, deoarece aplicand doar o funda sau o inimioara pe o unghie aveti o manichiura total schimbata. Nu trebuie sa faceti un model complicat pentru o manichiura frumoasa.

     What do you think about the stamping plate?

     Ce parere aveti despre placuta?

Laura Clauvi No57 Sweet Candy

     Today we continue with another polish from Laura Clauvi. Because the season for weddings started, I thought to present a delicate shade of pink that you can use to make a cute french or as it is.

     Astazi continuam cu o noua oja de la Laura Clauvi. Deoarece sezonul nuntilor a inceput, m-am gandit sa prezint o oja intr-o nuanta delicata de roz care poate fi folosita asa cum este sau pentru un french dragut.

*without flash/fara blit*

     I normally do not wear this kind of shades, but I know that most of you like soft shades so this is for you. The formula is quite liquid, so you need tree layers to get a good coverage or you can use it over a white base. The brush is really small and because of the texture you get some brush lines, it is hard to apply it to get an uniform finish.
      The shade is a
pearlescent light pink shade, between the photos with flash and without flash. As the other nail polishes I had no problem with it, the resistance is good 3-4 days without top coat and it dries fast enough. It can be removed easily with polish remover without acetone.

      In mod normal nu pot nuante de acest fel, dar stiu ca majoritatea persoanelor prefera culori delicate astfel aceasta este pentru voi. Formula este destul de lichida, astfel sunt necesare trei straturi pentru o acoperire buna  sau puteti folosi o baza alba. Pensula este destul de subtire si din cauza texturii este greu sa obtii un finish uniform, de obicei se observa dungi de la pensula.
      Nuanta este un roz sidefat delicat, intre pozele cu blit si fara. Ca si la celelalte oje, nu am avut probleme cu aceasta, rezistenta este buna, 3-4 zile fara top coat si se usuca normal. De asemenea se sterge usor chiar si cu dizolvant fara acetona.
      Puteti gasi oja Laura Clauvi No57 Sweet Candy la pretul de 12.90 pentru 11 ml pe site.

*with flash/cu blit* 

     Of course I couldn't let it be a simple swatch so I made a delicate white stamping over the pink base. I also created a small tutorial for the manicure and in the description you can find the used products.

     Bineinteles ca nu puteau sa o las simpla manichiura astfel ca am creat un model delicat de dantela alb peste baza roz. Am facut si un mic tutorial pentru manichiura si in sectiunea descriere puteti gasi produsele folosite.
    What do you think about this shade or about the design?

    Ce parere aveti despre nuanta sau despre model?

All the best,

Favorite products lately

      I usually do not do favorite products posts, because from month to month my preferences do not change that much and I usually do products review for the ones that I really like. Lately my free time has reduced, so I thought that I do a post with the products that I used frequently and that I like.

         In mod normal nu fac postari cu produse favorite, deoarece de la luna la luna nu mi se schimba preferintele asa mult si pentru produsele care chiar imi plac fac review-uri separate. In ultima vreme timpul liber s-a redus, astfel ca m-am gandit sa fac o postare cu produsele pe care le folosesc frecvent si care imi plac.
         For my hair I have a few products that do not fail me, I like them, they do their job and if a better products doesn't appear I will not change them. For my hair, because it is greasy and has dandruff I use the shampoo for greasy dandruff hair from Nivea. I use this shampoo in combination with Wash & Go no matter which one, because combining two shampoo is the key of success for my hair. I have tried other shampoos for dandruff, but they either were to much, they dried my scalp very much or they didn't do enough.
       I use the balm and hair mask for from Complex Apicol. I received samples for review and I was so pleased that I bought the full versions and I do not regret the decision.  


      Pentru par am cateva produse care nu ma dezamagesc, isi fac treaba si daca alte produse mai bune nu apar nu le schimb. Pentru par, deoarece este gras si are matreata folosesc samponul Nivea pentru aceasta categorie. Folosesc acest sampon in combinatie cu Wash & Go indiferent de gama, deoarece in cazul meu combinarea celor doua sampoane e cheia succesului. Am incercat si alte sampoane pentru matreata, insa unele erau prea mult, uscau tare mult scalpul si altele nu curatau suficient matreata.
       Folosesc balsamul si masca de par pentru de la Complex Apicol. Am primit acum ceva vreme monstre pentru review si am fost atat de multumita incat am cumparat produsele si nu regret aceasta decizie. Puteti vedea review-ul acestora aici .

       For the nails there is no surprise, I still love the Trind products and although I use them for every manicure I still have half of the product. As nail polishes I have no preference, I like to use different colors, textures etc. As for the designs I used lately mostly Moyou Nails and BornPrettyStore stamping plates, that have great prices, designs and the quality is very good.

       Pentru unghii nu e nici o surpriza, inca iubesc produsele de la Trind si desi le folosesc de ceva timp pentru fiecare manichiura inca mai am aproximativ jumatate. Puteti vedea aici review-ul aferent. In privinta ojelor nu am o preferinta, imi place sa incerc diverse culori, texturi s.a. In privinta modelelor in ultima vreme folosesc placutele de la Moyou Nails si BornPrettyStore, care au preturi, modele bune si o calitate caruia nu am ce le reprosa.

      For the lipstick I admit I have a problem, I really love purple shades lately and I kind of bought a few. I really like the lipstick from Rimmel London Provocalips, because they really last, like from morning to evening and if you do not wipe them you still have it in the morning. Because they last so much, they dry a bit the lips, so the persons that do not like that it is not for them, but I think it is a small price for that effect.

      In ceea ce priveste rujurile recunosc ca am o problema, imi plac mult nuantele de mov in ultima vreme si am cam cumparat cateva. Imi plac la nebunie cele de la Rimmel London Provocalips, deoarece chiar rezista, de dimineata pana seara si daca nu le stergeti mai este un pic si dimineata.Deoarece rezista asa mult,usuca un pic buzele, astfel ca daca aveti problema cu asta nu sunt pentru voi, dar cred ca este un dezavantaj mic pentru efectul lor.

       In the end the product that really surprised me is the realash product for eyelash growth. I didn't expect much from this product, but now, over a moth from starting the testing I must say it really gives results. Your eyelashes take 30 days to fully grow and most of the times, because they are week they fall before they fully grow. Realash comes with a supliment of vitamins to help them grow faster and stronger. In this way your lashes look longer, because they do not fall, they look denser and are stronger.

       La sfarsit produsul care chiar m-a surprins este serul pentru cresterea genelor de la realash. Nu asteptam multe de la acest produs, dar acum, dupa mai mult de o luna de cand am inceput testarea trebuie sa zic ca ofera rezultate.
Pentru a ajunge la lungimea maxima dureaza 30 de zile pentru o geana si de cele mai multe ori, deoarece sunt slabe acestea cad inainte sa ajunga la maturitate. Realash vine cu un supliment de vitamine care ajuta genele sa creasca mai repede si mai puternice. Astfel acestea vor fi mai lungi si deoarece nu mai cad, vor fi mai dese si mai puternice.



     After a month they are indeed a little bit longer, but mostly are denser and a bit more black. What I observed is that in a month I could count with only one hand the number of eyelashes that broke and fall. Also it is easy to use, just apply it like an eyeliner in the evening after cleansing, as simple as that. I had no problems with the product, allergies or reactions. Now we will see in over a month after I finish the product the final results.

      Dupa o luna intr-adevar sunt un pic mai lungi, dar mai ales sunt mai dense si un pic mai negre. Ce am observat in acest timp este ca pot numara la o mana numarul de gene care mi-au cazut intr-o luna. De asemenea este usor de folosit, pur si simplu aplicati ca un tus, seara dupa demachiere, atat de simplu. Nu am avut probleme cu produsul, alergii sau chestii de genul. De acum vom vedea peste o luna si rezultatul final dupa terminarea tratamentului.

 What products do you like lately?

Voua ce produse va plac in ultima vreme?

All the best,

Laura Clauvi 07 Backyard


    Today we are going to talk about Laura Clauvi Stamp N0 7 Backyard nail polish. Although it says stamp on it, thinking about stamping, on the website it says that it is a fast drying nail polish. Considering that I used it as simple nail polish and also for stamping to see how it does. 

    Astazi vom vorbi despre oja Laura Clauvi Nr 7 Backyard. Desi scrie stamp pe ea, ce ne duce cu gandul la stampilat, pe website spune ca este oja cu uscare rapida. Luand in considerare acest aspect am folosit-o ca si oja normala dar si pentru stampilare pentru a vedea cum se descurca.
*with flash/cu blit* 

     The nail polish has a very thick consistency, you can get full coverage in only one layer, but I prefer to add two thin coats. It is really a fast drying nail polish, I think I can compare it to rimmel london 60 seconds.      
    After it dries it has a beautiful shine, because of that and the fact that I wanted to test it's resistance I didn't apply any top coat. The shade of a beautiful raw green, that has a suiting name Backyard.
    I wore the nail polish for 4 days and it only chipped at the tips, which is expected because I didn't used topcoat. The nail polishes would have lasted longer, but I thought that 4 days is long enough for a nail polish.


    Oja are o formula groasa, puteti obtine acoperire buna doar dintr-un singur strat, insa eu prefer sa aplic doua straturi mai subtiri. Se usuca destul de repede, se poate compara cu cele din gama rimmel london 60 sec.
    Dupa ce se usuca capata un lucru frumos, motiv pentru care nu am adaugat top coat, insa si pentru ca doream sa vad cat rezista fara. Nuanta este un verde crud superb, numele Backyard fiind foarte potrivit.
    Am purtat oja pentru 3 zile si a sarit un pic de varfuri, ceea ce era de asteptat avand in vedere ca nu am folosit top coat. Oja ar fi rezistat in continuare, insa am considerat ca 4 zile este suficient pentru o oja.

*natural light/lumina naturala*



    I couldn't let it be a simple swatch so I added a cute floral stamping to create a real spring manicure.

     Nu puteam sa las doar un swatch asa ca am stampilat un model floral dragut pentru a crea o manichiura de primavara.

    As I said at the beginning I also tried it for stamping. The formula is really thick so it is perfect for stamping. I used it to stamp an abstract designs and as you can see it acted perfectly. The smudge in the design it is my fault, when I transferred the design from the stamp to the nail.

    Dupa cum am zis la inceput am testa oja si la  stampilat. Formula este destul de groasa, astfel incat este perfecta pentru stampilat. Am folosit-o pentru un model abstrat si dupa cum puteti vedea s-a comportat perfect. Mazgalitura in model este din cauza mea cand am transferat modelul de pe stampila pe unghie.
 
    The nail polish is perfect to use as simple nail polish and also for stamping. I am very pleased with the quality and I can not wait to try the other nail polishes from Laura Clauvi.
 
    Oja este perfecta pentru a fi folosita asa cum este sau pentru stampilat. Sunt foarte multumita de calitatea ojei, pe care o puteti gasi aici la pretul de 19 Ron pentru 10 ml, si abia astept sa incerc restul ojelor de la Laura Clauvi.

All the best,
Anca

Navy nails

Retro vibes

    This weekend the weather was so nice, it's like summer came up early and finally I can wear dresses, skirts without tights, because I am a little cold in general.

     Acest sfarsit de saptamana a fost foarte frumos, parca vara a venit un pic mai repede si in final pot purta rochii, fuste fara colanti, deoarece sunt un pic mai friguroasa.
 
    Thinking of summer, I paid a visit to an outlet that I found really nice things in the past and I found this retro dress that I immediately bought. It is perfect for this weather with the half sleeves, it has the perfect length and shape for my body and I can not wait to wear it in different combinations.
    I kept the outfit simply, only added a few accessories, because I wanted the dress to be the focal point.
    The clutch is from Lovelywholesale and it is really well made, it has really nice golden details that were protected with foil during transport. You can also wear it on one side, because it has a strap, it is very spacious, you can wear it like I did, folded or wear it straight to gain more space.
    I think everyone should have a black clutch that goes with everything and a red one to spice an outfit. I like that this clutch it is between elegant and casual so I can wear it with both styles.


    Cu gandul la vara, am facut o vizita la un outlet unde am gasit in trecut lucruri dragute si am gasit aceasta rochie cu model un pic retro pe care am cumparat-o imediat. Este perfect pentru vremea de acum cu maneca trei sferturi , are lungimea si forma numai buna pentru corpul meu si abia  astept sa o port in diverse combinatii.
    Am pastrat tinuta simpla, am adaugat doar cateva accesorii, deoarece am vrut ca rochia sa fie punctul central.
    Plicul este de la Lovelywholesale si este foarte bine realizate, are detalii aurii care au fost protejate in timpul transportul cu folie. Are si bareta in cazul in care doriti sa il purtati pe o parte, deasemenea este si foarte incaptoare, o puteti purta asa indoita sau sa o folositi drept putand pune chiar si caiete. 
    Cred ca toata lumea ar trebui sa aiba un plic negru care sa mearga cu orice si unul rosu pentru a condimenta o tinuta. Imi place acesta deoarece merge atat la o tinuta eleganta, cat si la una mai casual.
