LOTN: Delicious wine (X-Mas series)

     Hello, ladies.

     Only one week ‘till Christmas and I haven’t showed you half of my X-Mas looks. Not to mention the manicures, I have lots of models for you and there’s so little time. My plan was to show a matching manicure for eahc of my looks, but I really don’t have the time. Therefore, Laura and I came out with a “plan”, more precisely a collaboration which I hope you’ll like.

     What’s this about: for evey makeup I do, Laura will show you on her blog a matching manicure. And the good news is that we’re continue this project after the winter holidays are over.   

     Mai este o saptamana pana la Craciun, iar eu nu v-am aratat nici macar jumatate din look-urile potrivite pentru aceasta ocazie. Ca sa nu mai spun de manichiuri, am atatea modele in minte si nu stiu cand voi apuca sa vi le prezint. Mi-as fi dorit sa va arat o manichiura potrivita pentru fiecare machiaj de Craciun pe care-l fac, insa efectiv nu am destul timp la dispozitie. Drept urmare, impreuna cu Laura am pus la cale un proiect frumos, care sper sa fie si pe placul vostru.
     Despre ce este vorba: pentru fiecare machiaj pe care-l fac Laura va va arata manichiura potrivita. Iar vestea cea mai buna este ca nu vom face asta doar pentru Craciun si Revelion, si vom continua colaborarea si dupa sarbatori.

      Today's makeup is a dramatic one, pretty dark and which normally goes against a basic rule of makeup: I emphasized both the eyes and the lips. But I never went by the rules and I think that as long as the makeup looks good, than you can use whatever eyeshadow / lipstick combo you want.

    Machiajul de astazi este unul dramatic, destul de “intunecat” si care “incalca” o regula de baza a machiajului: am pus accentul atat pe ochi, cat si pe buze. Insa eu n-am respectat niciodata regulile si sunt de parere ca atata timp cat machiajul este realizat cu gust, atunci poti face orice combinatie doresti.

     Honestly, this makeup was supposed to be a nude one, but once I had the palettes in front of me and I started to do the makeup, my hands reached for some completely different eyeshadows :)).

     Although in the pictures you’ll see a purple eyeshadow, but actually that’s a burgundy which turned purple once I blended it with the black e/s.

     As for the lips, I used at first a dark red KIKO lipstick, perfect for Christmas. Afterwards, I went for nude lips, using NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil and Essence XXXL Nude Lipgloss.

     I hope you’ll like it. 

     Sa va spun sincer, pentru machiajul de astazi trebuia de fapt sa folosesc niste farduri nude, insa atunci cand m-am vazut cu paletele in fata si am inceput machiajul mainile mele pur si simplu s-au indreptat catre alte nuante :)).

     Desi in poze veti observa un fard mov, in realitate el este burgundy, insa amestecat cu negru rezulta culoarea pe care o vedeti mai jos.

     In ceea ce priveste buzele, mai intai am folosit un ruj rosu inchis de la KIKO, perfect pentru Craciun. Apoi, pentru fetele mai putin indraznete, am renuntat la buzele rosii in favoarea unora nude, folosind NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil si Essence XXXL Nude Lipgloss.

     Sper sa va placa :).

     And don’t forget to take a look at Laura’s post to see how to match your nails with this look.

     Si nu uitati sa aruncati un ochi pe postarea Laurei daca vreti sa vedeti ce manichiura se asorteaza cu acest machiaj.
