BPS - Gold Nail Decals

A few days ago I have shown you my first nail polish which is of the NailGlaze color. View it by clicking here.

Today I have applied some nail decals over it, which I got from Born Pretty Store for a review.

Products I have used:

• Classics Glamour - Nr. 150
• Born Pretty Store - Nail Decals, item Nr. 6229, It contains flower shaped decals in different forms and sizes. You can check it out here.

When I received the decals, I had a really nice surprise. I originally thought that I would get 12 pieces, but instead I found 12 times approx. 25 decals in the package! I now have enough decals for a year! I will definitely show you other designs too.

Farmec - Nr. 31

Today I am going to show you a glitter polish made by Farmec, that has been on the market for a while, but I have never tried it ... until now, when Farmec has sent it to me for a review! Now I love it!

Products I have used:

• Flormar True Color - Nr. 027
• Farmec  - Nr. 31 -> This polish is part of the DISCO Collection and is available online, here.

I have applied the glitter topper over a simple black polish, in 1 coat!

Farmec - Nr. 31 has tiny pink, blue and purple glitters in a clear base. I think it looks great combined with a dark base color.

What do you think about it, isn't it gorgeous?!

The NailGlaze Color

I have been searching for the NailGlaze color for almost a year and I finally got a polish that is very similar to this color. I told myself that I have to stop buying polishes, but I couldn't leave the store without this one!

Classics Glamour - Nr. 150

I especially like the contrast between the dark polish and my skin tone.

Beauty Bloggers Annual Meet Up, Second Edition

Today I want to tell you about the Beauty Bloggers Annual Meet Up, Second Edition, which took place on the 16th f November, 2013, in Cluj-Napoca.

It was the first time I participated at such an event and I am glad I did! Thank you Anca, Cleopatra and Laura for inviting me!

The evening started with a very pleasant surprise. On our seats a little purple bag awaited us. It was a goodie-bag from Farmec, containing 5 amazing polishes and one of the best creams I have ever tried (I am not exaggerating!), Doina. I have 3 now: one at work, one at home and one in my bag :-). 

Then followed the part I feared most but loved at the end: we introduced ourselves, our blog, what we write about, since when, how we started and so on. It was so good linking the blogs to actual faces!

After the presentation we started a debate on beauty blogging, which I found very helpful. In the break we tasted some Panemar sandwiches and cookies and drank Aqua Carpatica and Oriflame Wellness Tea. 

The Coffe Break was followed by the receiving of the goodie-bags. Our sponsors really outdid themselves!

I don't own these pictures

Stay close, because reviews will follow :-)

This event was organised by Anca Pop- All Made up! by Aqua_shell, Coman Cleopatra- Passion For Stylish Life and Laura Mariana- Classy and Pink with the help of the co-organiser, Farmec. The event was sponsored by: Yves Rocher, Elmiplant, NIVEA, Golden Rose Romania, Oriflame, B.U. Romania, Bioderma Romania, Cosmetic Plant, AlhamoDent, Cupio, AQUA Carpatica, Panemar, OnePAds Web Design.
