Mascara : Maybelline vs. Oriflame

Photobucket
Hello ,dears ! Today I'm going to compare my two favourite mascaras . The idea of making a comparing review came to me after seeing a similar post on Honey Bunny's Blog. I've been using them for a while and I realised that I'm very pleased with both of them ,even though they have different qualities.

Buna,dragilor ! Azi m-am gandit sa compar cele 2 rimeluri favorite ale mele. Ideea de a le pune alaturi mi-a venit dupa ce am citit postarea de pe blogul lui Honey Bunny . Le folosesc deja de ceva timp si am realizat ca ma impac bine cu amandoua, desi au calitati diferite.

Doina Vitaminised Face Milk




It's a first for me , so don't crush me in comments . While shopping for some cosmetics to take with me at my cousin's (where I finally am after a year of waiting) , I decided to try some new products and even to review them, just for you to benefit :)

The first product I decided to try is the Doina Vitaminised Face Milk .
The first thing that inspired me to buy it was the fact that absolutely everyone from Romania has heard of it an considers it as a good product. Second , the very attractive price : it costs about not more than 1,1 pounds . Which is a very good deal !

At the first sight, it doesn't really attract you instantly , not having a brightly colored or embellished container, but a rather vintage look . The size is well chosen : it has the right amount to last for ages and it's easy to carry around.

Then : the smell. It smells like my grandmother's cream . It doesn't have a specific scent,smelling rather as something neutral, which is a big plus since scents that are added to beauty products are not good for your skin.

The consistency : It's not as fluid as milk, but it's not too bulky either. It's something that you spread on your face and don't even have much time to massage it into the skin. Because yes, you can use it both as a make-up cleanser and as a moisturiser .

What does it really do then ?
I've used it both as a cleanser and as a moisturiser , but the good part it that it hydrates your skin enough while removing make-up so no extra using it and you save the extra product .

In conclusion ?
It's an excellent money saver
One of the best skin products I have ever tried
Lovely packaging

Would you try it or have you already did ?

Eat ,pray ,love

Eat,pray,love

I am a very big fan of reading : not a day passes by without me reading atleast a chapter of a book . I've tried them all : fiction and non fiction , science fiction, romance,comedy ,drama,tragedy. Name it and I've read it. I had dates with some of the worse books ever written ,but that hasn't discouraged me so far. The last book I read was the New York Times bestseller : Eat,pray,love by Elizabeth Gilbert ( photo from here ).
I initially bought it as a gift for a friend, but then ended buying a copy of my own. And it was a really great decision ,because the book is great.

The story follows Elizabeth on her journey to find balance after a nasty divorce. It can get really captivating , not only because the beginning of the story might be similar to so many women , but because Elizabeth's writing style is very catchy and gets you really involved. I never had the urge to get to Italy , but while reading her book , I decided that if I won;t see Italy I'm the biggest loser and if I don;t learn Italian I'm nothing. Just because she was so into this sort of stuff made me want to do the same things. It's a really special thing for a writer to be able to do that : it means he or she has a huge talent.
I recommend it with all my heart,because it is a story of true self love and will guide you into taking decisions that are good for you ,not only for everybody else. And you can also learn some meditation techniques and mantras to help you cleanse your spirit.
Hope my little review made this book enticing to you. Can't wait for some oppinions.
