Share the love this Christmas with Optimashop

For me Christmas is all about giving, sharing the love and precious moments with your family and loved ones, giving the best of you to the others around you, giving presents more than receiving them.

I love this Christmas period because it fells like no other, it has its special sort of magic. In this period everyone is a better person than it usually is around the year, we strive to help more the ones in need, to smile more, to share a kind gesture or a word of comfort with the others and more.

And yes, we can show with words and gestures the love we have for our special ones, but we also can show them we care by giving them magic presents. And the shopping madness has already begun in the stores. Personally, I really appreciate when a brand comes to the resque and makes the gift-shopping a litle easier by creating special gift packages. Here are the gift sets Optimashop has prepared for us this season :

New location for the Inglot store

My lovely readers I have great news for you : Inglot has moved from its last location in Baneasa Shopping City to a brand new location in Unirii Boulevard no.33 (a small walking distance from Unirea Shopping Center). The store is significantly larger in size, more elegant and stylish.

The second great news I have for you (especially for the ladies where there are no Inglot stores) is that next year Inglot will launch the Inglot.ro online store to bring its wonderful products closer to each and every one of you. 

Show you care this Christmas with Nivea

Christmas time is all about giving love and sharing magical moments with the ones you care about. Showing them you care, spending quality time together and enjoying the holidays. With Nivea is very easy to show you care. You know by now, from my many posts, I love Nivea. Nivea, for me, represents many childhool memories, it's granny's face creme and granny is wisdom, patience, warmth, protection and infinite love.

Bobbi Brown - a fascinating universe of elegance and beauty

I have told you in a previous post the fascinating story of Bobbi Brown and shared with you the great news that there will be a Bobbi Brown store in Bucharest, Romania, in Baneasa Shopping City. And yes, the store has opened its doors on the 18th of November. And of course, as a beauty lover that I am, I just couldn't miss the oportunity to visit the store and unveil its misteries.

Step into a universe of timeless beauty. Refined and understated, luxurious and discrete, the Bobbi Brown universe beacons you in. And you cannot resist its powerful lure. I stepped in a fascinating universe where you forget about the passing of time and you get lost discovering its misteries and beautiful products.

There are face care products, including various make-up removers, toners, serums, face and eye creams, sunscreen, and products specifically designed to adress various skin problems.

Of course there are the cult make-up products that have made Bobbi Brown well known and loved all around the world. There is a large variety of foundations, concealers, powders for each skin type and preference.

to buy

on my wishlist

There are cream and powder blushes, the famous highlighters and a great variety of cream and powder eyeshadows. There are also brow products and mascaras.

want them!

I have swatched the Shimmer Brick highlighters and they are gorgeous! Buttery soft and very pigmented!

The Bobbi Brown gorgeous lipsticks and lip products are a must-have! They come in a great variety of textures and colours : mattes, creamy, sheer in both nude, every day shades and bolder, night time shades. The matte lipsticks are very pigmented, very creamy and nourishing and they leave a stain behind. They are definitely on my wishlist for Santa this year!

The lip glosses come in fabulous colours just perfect for the summer time!

For the make-up lovers Babbi Brown has created a good variety of make-up brushes. They are very soft and well crefted. A good quality make-up brush makes the work of a make-up artist easier.

All Bobbi Brown products are high quality products therefore they are not cheap. But I consider them a good investment. I am worth it!

I hope I convinced you that a visit to the Bobbi Brown store in Baneasa Shopping City is a must! I am sure you will fall in love with the products as I have! I leave you with a live video I made in the store. I am speaking both in English (at the beginning) and in Romanian (at the end).
