Beauty Shopping: Ojon, Elizabeth Arden and Stila

I go through phases of either buying only makeup/beauty stuff or obsessing over the latest fashion releases. Like my husbands says, the only constant is me lusting over a material thing – Im shallow like that.

For the last month, i have turned back to beauty and got some new bits to try and hopefully help me get transformed into a summer goddess. So to celebrate the beginning of summer, i needed to get new haircare for luscious locks, pool appropriate makeup and some ‘lash grow’ potion for seductive bedroom eyes.

Venirea verii si a vacantelor, serilor calde si luminoase m-au facut sa imi indrept atentia spre produse de infrumusetare noi, usoare si luminoase. Se pare ca eu trec prin faze: ori imi cumpar numai haine ori numai cosmetice, singura constanta fiind cumparaturile! Mai ales la inceput de sezon nou, deja imi imaginez cum acea nuanta de ruj va arata la o petrecere de vara sau cum o nuanta noua de oja va pune si mai mult in evidenta o tinuta eleganta.Ah emotiile unui nou inceput si promisiunea unor aventuri!

Because of my transition to blonde hair from deep brown, my hair is dryer than usual and not as smooth as i would like it to be. After reading a couple of online reviews, my attention turned to the popular Ojon Rare Blend range meant to regenerate and nourish even the most processed hair. I have already used it for a couple of weeks, so an in depth review is in the works.

Pentru ca parul meu trece printr-o tranzitie de la castaniu inchis spre blond, am investit in gama Ojon Rare Blend care promite regenerarea si hidratarea chiar si a celui mai procesat par. Am inceput sa o folosesc de cateva saptamani, mai ales pentru ca ma pregatesc pentru o noua decolarare si deja este o imbunatatire vizibla.

The Elizabeth Arden Prevage set was a bargain i couldn’t leave behind: 50% off in Clerys, i paid €50 for the (€100 on its own – see the add here!), a mascara, an eyelash curler AND a free (worth €40). Rude not too!

Setul Elizabeth Arden a fost o oferta ce nu putea ratata: cu un discount de 50% am primit celebrul ser pentru cresterea genelor si sprancenelor, o mascara, un ondulator de gene si un gel de curatare anti-imbatranire. La numai €50 (redus de la €100) a meritat fiecare banut. Numai serul este €100 singur, iar gelul de curatare este aproape €40.

I blame Mags for my Stila purchases, i tagged along the girls from EmeraldEyeliner to a Stila masterclass in Harvey Nicks and ended up leaving with a and a I wanted them for so long, well worth the price and the masterclass was full of tips and tricks. I have been using them every day since i got them, i need more Stila in my life. I also bought a , but somehow i managed to loose it :(.

Am fost invitata la clasa de machiaj cu produse Stila si m-am indragostit iremediabil de produse. Mi-am luat un Beauty Balm care lumineaza tenul, rezistent la apa si cu un factor de protectie 30, ideal pentru dimineti petrecute la piscina sau zile toride de vara. Fardul de obraz crema in Petunia, era pe lista de foarte mult timp, culoarea este delicata, dand impresia de prospetime si tinerete. Singura problema este ca acum imi trebuiesc mai multe culori in colectie…
