Rosy Pink make-up look

I'm back my lovely readers with a new make-up look; today the weather is slightly cloudy and grim so I thought a nice make-up look will make everything better. This time I did a Rosy Pink make-up look with the help of the MustaeV Dazzle Pink mono eyeshadow and the MUSTAEV TEN SHADE LIP CREAM PRO PALETTE, I adore.

I love both of them dearly! (I have thought about showing you some of my daily make-up looks and the products I use for a long time and it has proved difficult for me so far since I often don't have time to photo the products and the make-up look. But I'll try my best ; I want to show you the products in the make-up look, on the face not only in swatches, writing about them.) Let's begin :

My freezing temperatures make-up and body care routine

As I promised, today I'm back with the second part of my go-to products for use in freezing temperatures. The previous post was dedicated to face care (make-up removal, face creams, face masks, SPF and lip care), today's post will be dedicated to my body care routine and my make-up essentials in the winter time.

My freezing temperatures face care routine

It is winter here in Bucharest, freezing temperatures, high snow, weather forecasts predicting even more snow and low temperatures. Until about one week ago the winter was mild and warm. Now it has arrived with a bang! The temperatures are -20,-15 or less at night and -10 or less at day. And my skin is not taking it well. It has become dehydrated, dry, brittle and I got out of my stash the heavy guns : the products which are the most moisturizing and thick and creamy and comforting. So I decided to share them with you. Today's post is all about the face care routine (make-up removal, face hydration, face masks and make-up products). I'll be back with another post on the body care for these freezing temperatures. Let's begin!

Golden Peach make-up look

I'm back my lovely readers with a new make-up look; today the weather got cloudy and rainy so I thought a nice make-up look will make everything better. This time I did a Golden Peach make-up look with the help of the MustaeV Color Powder in Moonlight Champagne and the MustaeV Glazing Lip Gloss in Golden Peach over the shade of lipstick I wore. I love both of them dearly! (I have thought about showing you some of my daily make-up looks and the products I use for a long time and it has proved difficult for me so far since I often don't have time to photo the products and the make-up look. But I'll try my best ; I want to show you the products in the make-up look, on the face not only in swatches, writing about them.) Let's begin :

New In - December 2015

I have postponed this post for lack of time to photo the products but I have had them since December so I thought I would show them to you. They all will be reviewed on the blog (some of them already are, I didn't have the patience to wait). There are mostly make-up products with some body and bath items in between. Here they are :

Estee Lauder Color Edit holiday set

As I told you in a previous post estee-lauder-modern-muse-le-rouge  I recevied from my Santa the Estee Lauder Color Edit holiday set (I've unboxed it on Periscope, the video is here : katch.me/adrianatone/esteelaudercoloureditset). If I bought a perfume or a perfume set, I would receive the set at a very convenient price. So I decided to  buy a set of 4 mini size perfumes by Estee Lauder : Beautiful, Pleasures, Modern Muse and Modern Muse Le Rouge (my Santa didn't want to receive the money for the set, giving it to me as a gift).

Many of the products in the set are limited edition but I saw a similar set here in Romania at Debehams beauty therefore I thought I would show my set to you and write my first impressions on some of the products (there will be reviews for all the products in the set on the blog) to help you decide should you want to buy the Romanian version.

Pink Sparkle make-up look

Hello my sweet readers I'm back today with a new make-up look; I took advantage of this great winter sunny day, after days and days of bad weather. Today I felt in the mood for a touch of glamour so I decided to wear one of my newest glitter pigments on my stash MustaeV Color Powder in Starlight Pink and create my make-up look around it.

I have thought about showing you some of my daily make-up looks and the products I use for a long time and it has proved difficult for me so far since I often don't have time to photo the products and the make-up look. But I'll try my best ; I want to show you the products in the make-up look, on the face not only in swatches, writing about them. So I'm back again with a make-up look, this time it's the Pink Sparkle make-up look (I love my pinks! they put me in a good mood).

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge - dare to inspire

This past Christmas I was very good so my Santa brought me an Estee lauder set (I've unboxed it on Periscope, the video is here : katch.me/adrianatone/esteelaudercoloureditset). If I bought a perfume or a perfume set, I would receive the set at a convenient price. So I decided to  buy a set of 4 mini size perfumes by Estee Lauder : Beautiful, Pleasures, Modern Muse and Modern Muse Le Rouge. So far, I love the most Modern Muse Le Rouge and that's why it is the subject of my post today.

Most loved in 2015

I haven't posted a monthly favourite type post (very popular right now) before because I don't change my favourites every month. I test a product for a longer period of time and if I really like one and use it all the time it enters in my favourite category. Therefore I will post my favourites every season or more. I decided to start the favourites category on the blog with a bang, with the Most loved in 2015 ! Let's see them !

Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Bois de Rose Creme - review

I love lipsticks. I prefer to wear them much more than lip glosses. I tend to eat the lip products I have on, so the lipstick lasts longer on me. I like light, creamy, hydrating formulas that are not sticky on the lips. I like both neutral and bold colours in my lipsticks but lately my lipstick collection has more bold colours than neutrals. One of the neutral lipsticks I love to wear is the subject of this post : Estee Lauder  Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Bois de Rose Creme.

Monica's empties #1

My lovely ladies the time has come to present you with some of my empties I have accumulated in several months. I won't post empties every month, since I don't go through too many products a month. I will update you with this post once in several months, after thoroughly testing the products and having a clear opinion on them to share with you. 
So without further ado, let's see the empties :

Focus on ... Estée Lauder

The Estée Lauder brand is always associated with the highest quality in their products, innovation, passion, class, distinction, timeless elegance  - all the things that were embodied by Estée Lauder, the wonderful woman that created the brand. Let's see her story :   

Born for Beauty  

The niece of a Hungarian chemist, Estée was trained in the art of face creams at an early age. 
Josephine Esther Mentzer was born in New York City. Her parents, Rose Schotz, a Hungarian beauty, and Max Mentzer, a Czechoslovakian businessman who carried a cane and gloves on Sunday, called her Esty, which was changed to Estée when she enrolled in school.

The name stuck, but one early detail was never officially pinned down: her birth date. “You ask my age? I tell you it simply doesn’t matter,” she’d famously say to dodge the question. “Glow,” after all—not a number—was the real essence of beauty, she believed.

Beauty wishlist for 2015

The wishlist for a beauty addict like me is neverending. I continuously wish for things, either face or body care or make-up, or tools, or the latest releases of my favourite brands. I daydream all the time and wish to try the cult-products everybody is talking about, to see if they are really worth the hefty price tag, if they deliver all the miraculous effects they promise.

Of course most of them are high-end products, quite pricey, a result of the latest in research, innovation, the best quality in ingredients and the SF technology. I will probably dream about them next year too, but at least a few of them I hope to try this year. Hope dies last, they say. So I hope and I dream.
Face care:

My newest love : Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara/Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus Full Treatment Formula

I am a difficult customer: I have decent lashes but I always want more from my mascara. To add more length, to add more volume, to have my lashes well separated, to last all day and not gather under the eyes at the end of the day, to remove with ease without losing my lashes on the way. Piece of cake, right?

I have tried many mascaras and I am still searching for the perfect one, to tick all the boxes! Even if I find it , I will still try the newest ones, I love to test the latest in beauty!

When I went to the Beauty bloggers meeting by Beautybarometer I received for testing several Estee Lauder products. I was soo happy, the brand is a high-end one with great quality products. (if you want to find out more about the brand you can read about it here: one-of-my-all-time-favourite-concealers). One of them was Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara/Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus Full Treatment Formula sample size.

The mascara (01 Extreme black) comes in a plastic recipient of 2.8 ml/0.1 oz. of product and it is supposed to give outrageous volume, lift, and curve for a false-lash effect. The primer comes in a plastic recipient of the same size as the mascara. It is a high-performance lash primer that doubles the volume. Both the mascara and the primer have a valability of 6 months.

One of my all time favourite concealers : Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-place concealer

I have to confess I adore the Estee Lauder brand! I have really bad dark circles and so far the concealer is the best I've tried!

I think that the Double Wear range is a godsend for all of us oily/combination complexions!! I cannot live without the concealer and I am desperate I'm hitting pan!! I try to scrape from the recipient the last precious drop!! It is so long lasting and it covers amazingly my lovely dark circles! I get depressed thinking I will finish the concealer...I also love the Double wear foundation, again light on the skin, natural looking if moderately applied and blended, buildable up to full coverage, very long lasting! LOOOOVE! 

Also new in my make-up routine is the Sumptuous Extreme Volume mascara, which also starts to become an addiction for me (review soon!). But let's find out who is the woman behind this amazing brand :
............................
Born for Beauty

The niece of a Hungarian chemist, Estée was trained in the art of face creams at an early age. 
Josephine Esther Mentzer was born in New York City. Her parents, Rose Schotz, a Hungarian beauty, and Max Mentzer, a Czechoslovakian businessman who carried a cane and gloves on Sunday, called her Esty, which was changed to Estée when she enrolled in school. 

“The first beauty I ever recognized was my mother,” said Estée. Some of her earliest memories were of her mother’s grooming ritual, which revolved around applying rich creams to her face and hands to keep her skin soft and smooth. “Hands [are] as telling as any written pedigree,” Rose would tell her impressionable daughter.

While her father owned a hardware store where Estée would arrange window displays, she was more interested in taking after her uncle John Schotz, a chemist. He had taught her to cleanse her skin with oils rather than harsh soaps, and to mix up batches of his unique, all-around skin cream. “It was a preciously velvety cream, this potion, one that magically made you sweetly scented, made your face feel like spun silk, made any passing imperfections be gone by evening,” Estée recalled, and she soon dubbed it the Super-Rich All Purpose Creme. It was her first glimpse at something that provided “the power to create beauty.” 

“Success depends on daring to act on dreams,” according to Estée, who turned a homespun cream into a global cosmetics empire. Estée built her company with the perfect mix of know-how, dedication, persistence, passion, family commitment–and a lot of free samples.

In 1946 Estée officially launched her namesake line with four hardworking products—The Cleansing Oil, The Creme Pack, her uncle’s Super-Rich All Purpose Creme, and The Skin Lotion. She was her own publicist, often showing up to beauty parlors around New York City to perform makeovers while women sat under the hairdryers.  

Estée believed “3 minutes is all beauty should ever take.” She created quick routines for makeup and skincare, which she eagerly demonstrated on women—at every store where an Estée Lauder counter opened, while riding on a train or an elevator, or simply walking down the street. She loved nothing more than transforming a woman’s look with her personal touch, and doling out bits of advice along the way. 

After Estée’s “millionth” request, Robert Fisk, the cosmetics buyer at Saks Fifth Avenue, finally agreed to place his first order of her product—$800 worth,  to be exact—in 1946. To announce her arrival at the upscale department store, Estée sent out elegant white cards with gold lettering to inform the store’s preferred-customer list that she would be offering a free cream-based powder with every purchase. Within two days, the entire stock was sold out—and the industry’s “gift with purchase” marketing concept was born. 

Convinced that European women were as “face-conscious” as they were “fashion-conscious,” Estée launched her brand at Harrods in London in 1960, after years of charming its buyer. Next came Galeries Lafayette in Paris. The brand would expand into the rapidly emerging markets of Moscow in 1981, and Shanghai in 1993. Today, Estée Lauder is sold in over 150 countries across the globe.  source: esteelauder.com
.....................................
Drawing its inspiration from such a fascinating woman the Estee Lauder brand is associated with the highest quality in products, femininity, class and timeless elegance.

But let's go back to my miracle worker the Double Wear Stay-in-place concealer spf 10 in Light. It comes in a plastic recipient of 7ml/24oz. of product with an applicator, making it easy to apply onto the skin. It has a 24 months valability.
yes it is very abused
