Beauty Bigbang nude soak-off nail polish

I am trying to manage my time and paint my nails at least once a week, but sometimes it is hard to do it. But, I was so curious about this nude soak-off nail polish that I had to try it. Mainly it was interesting for me because the Beauty Bigbang site had the information that this nail polish does not need any base or top coat, so application goes much faster. Yes, this is all true, you need just two coats of the nail polish, if you like plain nails, but this shade for my skin tone was so light that I had to do nail art on it. I used some gold nail foils, glitter nail polish and even than I told myself that I need more and I stamped it with some gold snowflakes. I don't know if I like or not the final mani, but it looks subtle and elegant in my opinion.

I received the shade #109. The nail polish has a great formula, it can be applied easily with the round brush from the bottle and it get's opaque after two layers. The quantity of the nail polish is 6 ml, so the bottle is quite small and hard to handle. 

All in all I think that this is a nail polish color that can be used on it's own or in combination with any kind of color. If you like it, you can find it HERE and a whole nude collection that contains 9 pretty shades.

Beauty Bigbang water decals

You all may already know that I like to use water decals when I don't have much time to do my nails. For my today's manicure I used some small, swirly patterned water decals (I hate when I can find the words to describe a pattern 😕) that I have received from the Beauty Bigbang site. First when I saw these white decals, I thought it would go perfectly with a blue nail polish because it will give that royal touch to a manicure. But please tell me if I am wrong.  

I used Catrice - Entering Atlantis as base for the decals, which is a indigo blue nail polish with subtle pink shimmer, that are not visible after application and on my ring fingernail is a beautiful and old holo nail polish from my stash by Flormar. 

I think the decals are super pretty, they are different sized ones and you can find them HERE and many other ones too. I don't know how many small decals are on the sheet I received, because I didn't numbered them, but they are enough for several manicures!

Beauty product empties

To give my nails some time to breath I thought to make from now on posts with beauty product empties I used in the past weeks or month. I wanted to do this from a long time ago but I always end up to throw away all the empty packages. Now I put some of them away and managed to make a picture and I will write my short opinion about all of them. I hope you going to enjoy these type of posts.

Gerovital - Instant Cleansing Milk. Gerovital is one brand by the largest cosmetics manufacturer from Romania, Farmec. I like very much their products because they high quality ones and their price is very affordable. This cleansing milk's consistency is super light and flowy, I like better the thicker ones, but it removes even waterproof make-up and lives the skin clean and nourished. It contains Vitamin A, E and minerals that simulate the skin so, it does his job quite good. 

AVON - Little Black Dress. Who does not know this oriental fragrance? I think this is one of the perfumes that I always buy when I want to remember the period when I was in the university. For me it is an oldie but goldie :) I love the jasmine, plum and woody notes of it. This time I used a small bottle and I am sure I will re-buy it soon. 

Kiehl's Lip Balm Mango. I was super happy when I was invited to the shop opening of Kiehl's store in Cluj and than I received a goodie bag with lot's of cosmetics. The lip balm was one of them. I usually tend to get bored of lip balms and I always buy new ones before I empty one, but this time I managed to almost finish all of it, mainly because of it's mango sent and the gloss that this balm gave to my lips. The product feels greasy but not sticky. Unfortunately it doesn't absorbs well in the lips, but after reapplying it regularly my lips feel OK but not well enough hydrated. I don't know if I like or not the packaging, the tube, but after all I got use to it. I don't find this one the best that is out-there, but it was nice to try it.   

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. I used this face cream daily just by itself or under the make-up. What I noticed that my face looked fresher and more hydrated day by day. I think this product is great for dry skin because it is a bit greasy but it absorbed quickly to the skin. The texture of it is watery but quite rich and this is why I didn't applied big amounts to my face. One problem which I did not liked the Parabens in the ingredients. I hope with the time they will be eliminated from this product, because this one works quite good.

Garnier Ultra Doux Mythic Olive Shampoo. I bought this one because my hair is quite dry and dull but this shampoo made it so greasy that I think I will never buy it again. 

AVON Clearskin Mask. When summer ended I had some problems with my skin in the neck aria, some pimples appeared and black heads too. Somebody told me that this charcoal mask works wonders, so I had to try it. It contains Salicylic acid to treat acne, silica and bentonite clay to absorb oils and antioxidants from green tea. No go is that it contains alcohol and perfume too. I used it once or twice per a week and yes it worked, the redness and acne like pimples dried and started to disappear and the blackheads were pulled from the pores (not all of them of course). The only thing is that it dried my skin and had to use a mask for hydration afterwards. But thumbs up for this product, it's cheep and good.

Balea Creme Peeling. I think this is a product that I buy it every time when I finish it. This is the first cream scrub that worked for me. Though I don't think that it is good for sensitive skin because it contains bigger amount and sized scrubbing beads which can hurt when you massage it to your skin. I felt a big difference after using it just once, I massage it gently to my skin for about 1-2 minutes and I observed a skin which is clean of impurities. It does not irritate the surface of my skin and after I use a good moisturizing cream I have a fresh looking face :) Nevertheless, I don't use it more than two times a week due to the strong scrubbing effect!

Now tell me, did you used any of these products? Which one did you liked the most and why? 

Thanks for stopping by and tell me please if you like these kind of posts. 

Beauty Bigbang mermaid brush

Today I am going to show you a very cute looking object that I have received for review from the Beauty Bingbang site. I am talking about the Mermaid brush which I use to clean the excess glitter from my hands and nails when I am doing a manicure. The brush looks pretty cool and fits perfectly in my hands. I have chosen the chrome green one from the site, but you can find several colored ones there. 

The brush is thick and in the same time quite soft, cleans good the excess glitter or nail powder from the hands and nails. As you can see in the above photo I used a big about of glitter in my manicure and the clean up was quite quick and accurate thanks to this brush. 

All in all I am glad that I have this brush, it is quite useful and it looks fantastic thanks to the fish-scale design and it's chrome color. I think it can be used to apply make-up foundation too, because of it softness. If you like this product, you can find it HERE and just check the Beauty Bigbang site for many interesting products and use my bellow seen discount code if you like. 

Tattoo Brow

I don't know if you already heard about the beauty product I am going to show you today or not, but when I received it from Maybelline I was pretty amazed, because I didn't knew that something like this exists. Tattoo Brow claims to give your eyebrows a three day tint. All you have to do is apply a layer of the gel to your eyebrows, leave it for about 2 hours and then peel it off.

I am maybe not the best test person for this product because I have thicker brows, but recently I was at a beautician and she shaped my brows and left some gaps here and there. So, I thought this is the moment to try this new innovation. I received the dark brown product - so it was perfect from my skin and brow tone. I applied the gel in no time in one thin layer and waited to dry for about 1 1/3 hours and after it I pealed it off. 

If you see bellow my before and after pictures you wont see much of a difference, just if you look a little bit closer. The gaps were filled and even after 3 days my brows had that brown tint. I think the product would work the best for those girls who have lighter colored eyebrows and want to go darker. The product does not work as perfect as in the advertising pictures but still if you want nicely shaped brows for about 3 days in a row without using a pencil or any other stuff for your eyebrows than this product definitely would work for you. 

        

Did you tried this product? What is your opinion about it?

Beauty Bigbang UV nail polish review

If you follow me on Instagram you may already seen in the Insta-stories a spoiler about a gold glitter bomb nail polish. Well now it is time to show you in detail everything about it. I am talking about the Beauty Bigbang Diamond Glitter UV Gel Nail Polish #W13. 

Diamond Glitter is a collection of 9 polishes. The product comes in a 10 ml black polish bottle. The formula is a little bit thicker and loaded with small and big hexagonal glitter particles. In my manicure I used two coats on it's own without any color base, but this polish can be used as a topper too. Curing time with UV light is 2 minutes, this is not mentioned on the bottle but all the necessary details are on the Beauty Bigbang site.

The only downside of this glitter polish is that it looks a little bit thicker on the nails when it is applied on it's own and not as a topper. 

All in all I like how this nail polish sparkles and glows on the nails, I think it looks fancy an I am sure I am going to use this one for New Years Eve nails :). If you like this polish you can find it HERE and just check the Beauty Bigbang site for many new nail art products and use my bellow seen discount code.

Beauty Bloggers Meeting 6th edition

As I mentioned in my last post I returned with some details about the Beauty Bloggers Meeting that I attended on the 4th November. I was quite excited to see again the lovely girls who put all the effort to organize this yearly event.

Cleopatra Coman, Gabriela Popescu, Anca Pop, Julia Hasch

The location where we meet was in the middle of our beautiful town and we were expected with fine champing and lot's of delicious finger food and of course kind hugs from the organizers :) This years meeting topic was how to be an authentic blogger. The truth is if were bloggers are not our self's  when we write our blog posts, than it is like we lose our voice and automatically the influence and credibility falls short in the eyes of the followers. So, it was a very informative theme and I think all of us agreed that authenticity is the most important thing when it comes to blogging. 

At the end of the event we were surprised with lot's of goodie bags, so many that it was super hard to carry them home. So, I want to thank the organizers and all the event partners who spoiled us that evening!
