De cand scriam la articolul cu May's Favorites ma gandeam la preferatele mele all time. Voi face un top 10, desi mi-a fost greu sa aleg doar 10 produse preferate din totdeauna. Le iubesc pe toateee!:)) Deci sa incepeam, ordinea este aleatoare:
Ever since I was writting the post with May's Favorites, i was thinking what are my favorites all time. I'll make a top 10, even though it's hard to choose only 10 favorites products all time. I love them all! :)) So let's begin, the order is random:
1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance Lemon Drop Primer
Mi-aduc aminte de prima data cand am folosit un primer, citisem atatea articole primer related ca deja imi era rusine ca nu aveam niciun produs de acest gen in colectia mea. Vazusem eu ca mai toate bloggeritele prefera fie Too Faced Shadow Insurance, fie Urban Decay Primer Potion, dar eu neincrezatoare in miracole, am zis sa incerc cu unul mai low-cost, Mineral Eyeshadow de la ELF.
Diferenta am observat-o, fardul nu se mai strangea dupa cateva ore de purtat si machiajul ramanea fresh, ca si cum tocmai l-am aplicat. Asa m-am convins ca da, primerul pentru ochi e un mic miracol pentru iubitoarele de make-up. Asa am ajuns la Sephora de unde am achizitionat celebrul TFSI, care a devenit produsul indispensabil din trusa mea de zi cu zi.
I remember the first time I used a primer, I read some many articles primer related that I was already ashamed that I didn't own a product of this kind in my collection. I saw that most bloggers prefer Too Faced Shadow Insurance or Urban Decay Primer Potion, but I didn't believe in miracles, so I bought a low-cost one, Mineral Eyeshadow de la ELF.
I saw the difference imediately, the eyeshadow did not crease after several hours and the make-up stayed fresh, as if I just applied it. This is how I was convinced that yes, the eye primer is a little miracle for male-up lovers. So I went to Sephora where I bought the infamous TFSI, that become my number 1 product for everyday.

2. Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick - 745 Wooden Brown
Este singurul ruj pe care am ajuns sa il termin de doua ori si sa il mai cumpar inca odata. E hidratant, e pigmentat, culoarea e perfecta pentru zi, rezista cam 5-6 ore si miroase a vanilie. Need I say more? Imi plac la nebunie nuantele tari pentru buze, dar din pacate, am buzele subtiri si oricate trucuri as folosi ca sa le dau volum si sa arat si bine cu o nuanta mai inchisa, nu sunt pe deplin multumita. M-am conformat totusi ca trebuie sa aleg rujuri in culori naturale, gloss-uri pentru volum si sa las chinurile aplicarii unui ruj rosu aprins doar pentru ocaziile speciale. Nuanta Wooden Brown este perfecta pentru mine, astfel ca rujul ma insoteste peste tot.
It's the only lipstick I finished two times and I bought it again. It's moisturising, highly pigmented, the color is perfect for daytime, it holds around 5-6 hours and smells like vanilla. Need I say more? I love the bright colors for lips, but unfortunately I have thin lips and no matter how many tips I follow to have some volume and to look good with a darker color, I'm never fully satisfied. So I complied to choose lipsticks in only natural colors, lip glosses for volum and to leave the torments of applying a bright red lipstick just for the special ocassions. The Wooden Brown color is perfect for me, so this is the lipstick that follows me everywhere.

3. Rimmel London Lash Accelarator
In descrierea producatorului este specificat in primul rand faptul ca este si mascara si tratament de crestere, pana la 117% gene mai lungi dupa 30 de zile de folosire. Evident, NU ajuta la cresterea genelor sau cel putin procesul este imperceptibil.Oricum, nu pentru complexul de crestere il folosesc, ci pentru usurinta cu care imi separa genele si le pigmenteaza.
Natura nu m-a inzestrat cu gene lungi si dese, ci mai degraba destul de rare si scurte, astfel ca am incercat muulte tipuri de mascara ca sa ajung la un look placut, natural, nu neaparat dramatic. Am primit cadou primul Rimmel Lash Accelarator si mi-a placut la nebunie cat de naturale arata genele, dar in acelasi timp foarte bine definite. Chiar daca ulterior au inlocuit periuta cu una mai subtire, imi place la fel de mult.
According to producer's description, this is also a growth treatment, up to 117% longer eyelashes after 30 days use. Obviously, it NOT helps al tall with eyelashes growth or at least the process is not very visible. Anyway, I don't use for the growth feature, but for the way that it separates the lashes and the nice pigment.
Nature didn't give me long and thick eyelashes, but rather shorther and pretty rare ones, so I tried many mascara types to achieve a nice natural look, not necessarily dramatic. The first one was a gift and I loved how natural my eyelashes looked, but really defined. Even though they changed the brush with a slimmer one, I love it all the same.

4. Nivea Visage Pure Effect All-in-1 Extra Deep Cleansing
Il folosesc de cativa ani si a inlocuit cu succes gelul de curatare de la Clean&Clear, devenind preferatul meu. Dupa cum scriam in articolele anterioare, tenul meu este mixt si sunt intr-o permanenta incercare de curatare/exfoliere/matifiere & Co. Gelul de curatare de la Nivea isi merita pe deplin locul in lista favoritelor nu numai pentru ca este un foarte bun produs pentru curatare a tenului mixt, avand si particule exfoliante, dar este si bland cu zonele tenului predispuse la uscare. Majoritatea gelurilor de curatare mi-au uscat tenul excesiv mai ales in zona obrajilor.
I've been using it for a couple of years and it succesfully replaced the cleansing gel from Clean&Clear, becoming my favorite all time. As I was writting in the previous articles, my skin is mixte and I'm in a continous attempt to cleanse/exfoliate/mattify it. The Nivea cleanser fully deserves its place among my all time favorites, not only because it's a very good cleanser for mixt skin, having exfoliating particles, but it's also very gentle with the spots that tend to dry. Most of gel cleansers have dried out my face awfully especially around mu cheeks.

5. Oriflame Beauty Nail Polish Corrector Pen
Pentru ca mi-ar fi imposibil sa aleg DOAR un lac de unghii favorit, mai bine va arat produsul meu preferat pentru unghii : corectorul pentru manichiura de la Oriflame. Ce are atat de special? Este acetone free, este pe baza de ulei de migdale si miroase surprinzator de bine, si tine muuuult timp. Eu il am de cel putin 2 ani si nu da semne ca s-ar termina, nu s-a uscat deloc. Curata imediat urmele de oja de pe langa unghie, fie ca e umeda sau uscata, si lasa in urma un ulei de migdale care intra in piele. Are cateva capete de rezerva dar nu am ajuns inca sa il schimb, pentru ca resturile de oja ce raman pe varf sunt absorbite si astfel nu se amesteca si nu se intind pe piele.
It would be impossible for me to choose ONLY one favorite nail polish, so I would better show you my favorite nail product: the nail polish corrector from Oriflame. Why is it so special? Well, it's acetone free, it's on almond oil basis and it smells really good and it laaaast for a very long time. I have it for at least 2 years and it doesn't look like it's going to finish soon, it hasn't dried out at all. It cleanse very easily the polish around the nail, wet or dry, and leaves behind the almond oil that penetrates the skin. It comes with some replacement applicators, but I didn't change it yet, as the traces of polish that stays on the tip are absorbed, so they aren't mixed or smudged onto the skin.

6. Flormar Pretty Eyes Quartet Eyeshadows 45
Desi sunt o impatimita a culorilor vii, sunt zile cand nu ma incanta machiajele foarte complicate si atunci apelez la culorile neutre, in tonuri de maro, bej, ocru, gri etc. Cea mai folosita paleta de farduri este cea de la Flormar, Pretty eyes Quartet Eyeshadows 45, care imi place la nebunie, mai ales pentru cele 2 nuante deschise, una culoarea pielii cu care uniformizez pleoapele si una mai deschisa, perfecta pentru highlight. Le-am folosit de nenumarate ori ca baza in combinatii cu alte palete, dar si cu cele doua nuante de maro : unul mai deschis cu glitter si unul inchis, mat.
Even if I'm a fan of bright colors, there are days when I'm not very keen on wearing very complicate make-up looks, and than I use neutrals, browns, creams, greys, so on. The most used eyeshadow palette is that from Flormar, Pretty eyes Quartet Eyeshadows 45, which I love, especialy for the two light colors, one in the skin tone that evens the skin and a lighter one, perfect for highlight. I've been using them countless times as a base by mixting with other palettes, but also with the two brown colors : a lighter glittery one, and a darker, matte one.

7. Maybelline's Expert Wear Blush - Rose Silk
Un blush de care sunt indragostita este cel de la Maybelline, l-am primit cadou acum ceva timp si de atunci suntem nedespartiti. Contine niste particule aurii foarte fine care dau pielii o stralucire discreta, nu foarte evidenta.
A blush I love is the one from Maybelline, I received it as a gift a long time ago and since then we've never been apart. It contains some golden particles that gives the skin a discret glow, not very obvious.

8. Flormar Supermatte Nail Enamel
Cred ca v-ati dat seama ca imi plac mult lacurile de unghii, desi nu sunt in stare sa realizez o manichiura foarte elaborata, asa cum am vazut pe blogurile multor fete foarte talentate. Dintre toate lacurile pe care le detin, cel care imi place foarte mult este un rosu aprins de la Flormar Supermatte.
I think you already know that I love nail polishes, even though I'm not capable of making a very elaborate design, just like I saw on the blogs of many talented girls. Of all the polishes I have, I love the most a bright red from Flormar Supermatte.

9. L'Oreal Matte Morphose Souffle Foundation
Dintre toate produsele cosmetice, cel mai putin ma atrag fondurile de ten, mai ales ca le simt ca o masca. Am incercat destul de multe in cautarea celui perfect si am ajuns la concluzia ca un fond de ten lichid nu este potrivit tenului meu mixt, ci mai degraba as avea nevoie de unul spuma. Ei bine, cel de la L'Oreal Matte Morphose a fost singurul care mi-a dat impresia ca nu am nimic pe fata, adaptandu-se foarte usor tenului. Si da, are efect matifiant cam toata ziua daca il fixez cu o pudra. De cele mai multe ori nu folosesc fond de ten, dar cand o fac, il prefer pe acesta.
Of all beauty products, I'm least interested in foundation, as I tend to feel it as a mask. I tried many brands in the search of a perfect foundation and I realized that a liquid foundation is not good for my mixte skin, but I'm in need of a rather moussy one. Well, this one from L'Oreal Matte Morphose was the only one that gave me the impression I don't waer anything on my face, adapting very well to my skin. And yes, it's mattifying for a whole day if I fix it with a powder. I usualy don't wear foundation on a daily basis, but when I do, I prefer this one.

10. Pensulele de la ELF Studio (Brushes from ELF Studio)
Se putea sa nu includ si niste pensule in favoritele mele? Dintre toate pensulele mele, cele de la ELF Studio mi se par cele mai bune ca raport calitate-pret. Le am de mult timp si nu s-au deformat, nu au cazut peri, sunt la fel de moi ca la inceput. Ce sa zic, love at first brush, nu?:))
I couldn't finish this post without including some brushes in my all time favorites? Of all my brushes, those from ELF Studio are the best regarding the balance quality-price. I've got them for a long time and they did'nt loose shape, the hairs are still there and they are soft as usual. What can I say, love at first brush indeed!:))
