Inspirata de un citat interesant, care mi-a sarit in ochi cand verificam noutatile pe facebook, am decis sa scriu un mini articol despre ce ar trebui sa contina un portfard complet. Citatul despre care va spuneam suna ceva in genul "... mereu te intalnesti cu persoane cunoscute atunci cand arati sau te simti rau". Am trait si eu aceasta experienta de prea multe ori, asa ca am "construit" un portfard personalizat cu toate produsele esentiale, pe care sa il port in geanta si in cazul in care am nevoie de o reimprospatare sau chiar de un machiaj sa imi fie la indemana. De multe ori, ma trezesc greu dimineata si nu reusesc sa imi fac un makeup adecvat, asa ca il pot aplica mai tarziu folosindu-ma de beauty bag-ul to go!
Este foarte important sa includeti si produse de ingrijire, in special in aceasta perioada friguroasa, cand aerul e asa de dur cu pielea si mai ales cu buzele noastre. Astfel eu am inclus in portfardul meu o crema de fata cu consistenta usoara, pentru ca e neplacut sa folosim in timpul zilei, la servici, la scoala si in special daca suntem intr-o continua miscare, o crema grasa. Am optat pentru crema de fata, de la Yves Rocher, gama Pure Calmille, deoarece este foarte usoara, si se absoarbe in piele foarte rapid. Nu am uitat sa includ si o crema hidratanta pentru maini, acestea fiind primele care sufera in sezonul rece. Eu folosesc cu placere crema de maini Strawberry & Cream de la Oriflame, in mare parte datorita mirosului delicios de capsuni, dar si pentru consistenta cremoasa. Pe langa o crema CC, de uniformizare a tenului in nuanta potrivita (puteti sa includeti si o varianta mini a produsului ca sa economisiti spatiu in beauty bag) imi place sa mai iau cu mine si un mini iluminator de la ELF, un blush de tip baton de la acelasi brand si un concealer bun. In materie de concealer, imi place sa folosesc baghetuta de la NYX intr-o nuanta deschisa pentru a neutraliza cearcanele. In beauty bag-ul to go am o crema CC de la Avon intr-o nuanta care mi se potriveste, dar mai folosesc si o varianta de la Elmiplant momentan. Vreau sa incerc si varianta celor de la Vichy!
Nu uitati sa includeti si un balsam de buze. Eu folosesc in timpul zilei si il am la mine mereu pe cel de la Neutrogena, iar seara aplic lipbalm-ul de la Clinique pentru regenerare.
Includ mereu in beauty bag-ul meu si unul sau doua sticlute micute de parfum. In cazul acesta am selectat rollon-ul mini de la Avon "Little Black Dress", care in opinia mea e unul dintre cele mai bune, pe care le comercializeaza Avon si So Elixir Purple.
In materie de make-up, nu includ foarte multe variante, in principal din lipsa spatiului unui portfard, asa ca ma limitez la cele esentiale. Astfel produsele de machiaj pe care eu le port cu mine, in caz de urgenta sunt: doua nuante, care mi se potrivesc de la MAC (trebuie neaparat sa fie potrivite individual pentru ca nu prea avem cu ce alte produse sa lucram!), si anume:
- All That Glitters Veluxe Pearl, deoarece mi se pare ca nuantele sidefate se aplica mai usor si sunt mult mai potrivite pentru un makeup pe fuga.
- Parfait Amour Frost, deoarece nuantele de mov se potrivesc cel mai bine cu ochii verzi (includeti nuanta care vi se potriveste si o puteti folosi si individual, fara o alta culoare)
Pentru a adauga putina culoare buzelor am ales sa iau cu mine rujul tip stilou de la MaxFactor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint 03, o nuanta mata si puternica. In cazul in care nu doresc sa folosesc rujul statement MaxFactor am inclus si un gloss placut intr-o nuanta, care in opinia mea, se potriveste in orice circumstanta, Avon Plump Pout, Nude Pout.
Desigur pentru a completa aproape orice machiaj voi avea nevoie de conturul lichid, momentan preferatul meu, The One Eyeliner Stylo de la Oriflame si de o mascara neaparat buna. Eu am optat pentru mini mascara de la Sephora, Lash Stretcher - maximum extension mascara, deoarece imi place sa pun accentul pe machiajul ochilor, iar aceasta mascara contureaza foarte bine privirea.
Mai includ in portfardul meu si o serie de accesorii si ustensile utile:
- un set de pensule de calatorie, de la Fraulein
- un buretel de blend de la ELF
- o oglinda
- o pila (am patit de o gramada de ori sa imi rup o unghie, si sa ma chinuie toata ziua)
- doua elastice de par, ale mele sunt de la H&M
Portfardul in care incap toate minunatiile de mai sus l-am primit cadou de la prietena mea si este de la Sabon. Chiar daca pare mititel e foarte incapator!

Inspired by an interesting quote,
that stood out from my facebook news feed, I have decided to write a post
concerning what should be included in a beauty bag. The quote that I was
telling you about goes like this: “…you always meet everyone when you look or
feel bad”. I’ve had this experience too
many times, therefore I built up a beauty bag with all the basic products, to
prevent this from happening again. I often wake up late so I have to apply my
make up later, so it is useful to have this beauty bag to go with me all the
time.
When you create a beauty bag that
is both useful and easy to carry around, you have to keep in mind to pack only
the basic stuff. Remember to include skin care and lip care products, because
they are mandatory, especially during this time of year. I chose to add a light
face cream from Yves Rocher, Pure Calmille edition, because it is really easy
to apply and it is really smooth. I hate rich face cream during the day,
especially if I am on the run. Don’t forget to include hand cream to keep your
hands soft. I chose the Strawberry & Cream one from Oriflame, mainly for the
delicious smell, but also I think it is really moisturizing. Besides the CC
cream (you can get a mini sized one) from AVON, I also like to have a tiny face
illuminator and a stick blush, both from ELF. I always add to my beauty bag a
good concealer, because of the dark circles under my eyes, that keep revealing
themselves after a day of work. My current favorite concealer is the NYX
wand. Keep in mind to pack a lip balm.
During the day I choose Neutrogena, and during the night I always use my super
lip balm from Clinique.
I always take with me one or even
two tiny perfume bottles. These days I have the “Little Black Dress” mini
edition from Avon and the “So Elixir Purple” from Yves Rocher.
Make up wise, I do not carry a
lot with me, I only take the essentials. Therefore in case of emergency I
always have two eyes shadow hues that perfectly match my skin tone and can be
used individually. I chose:
·
All That Glitters Veluxe Pearl from MAC, mainly
cause shimmering eye shadow can be applied really easy and it doesn’t take much
to make it look good.
·
Parfait Amour Frost from MAC, because purple
hues go well with my green eyes.
In order to add a bit of colour
to my lips I chose the Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint 03 from MaxFactor. If I don’t
feel like using such a powerful colour I switch to my versatile gloss, Avon
Plump Pout, the Nude Pout, which goes amazing with everything!
To complete the look I always
carry around a liquid eyeliner, currently my favorite, The One Eyeliner Stylo
by Oriflame and a really good mascara. I added the Sephora Lash Strecher –
maximum extension mascara, because I love to enhance my eyes, and this mascara
really outlines my look.
I also need a series of accessories
and tools:
·
a travelling set of brushes, from Fraulein
·
a blending sponge from ELF
·
a tiny mirror
·
a nail file (this is actually really useful,
cause I break my nails all the time)
·
two hair elastics, mine are from H&M
I was gifted the beauty bag that
can house all these cute items by my friend, and it is from Sabon. Even though
it looks really small it is actually amazingly spacious.
