1. Freeman Feeling beautiful - Chocolate & Strawberry facial clay mask - This is our second tube of this mask, it is amazing. It's a detoxifying mask, which decreases the pores. It contains Shea and cacao butter, which hydrates the skin. I apply it once a week, let it on my skin for 20-30 minutes and then wash it of with a Muslin cloth. I see an improvement in the quality of my skin, less blackheads, no pores and radiant skin.

2. Trixera Selectiose emollient and cleansing gel - Avene - I haven't used anything from this line so far, so I was very skeptic. But after using it a couple of times I discovered how much I really like it. It' s fragrance-free, paraben-free and it has a high ocular tolerance. Although it say it's fragrence free it has a slight swimming pool, chlorine scent,but it doesn't bug me. I love the fact that it cleanses the skin without drying it out and that is what I seek in a cleanesing product. I use it at night and in the morning as well on my wet skin, and then rinse it well of.

3. Olay essentials refreshing toner - normal/dry/combo - This is something new I've been using. I've seen it on sales, and because I was so satisfied with the day fluid, I decided to give this toner a shot. And I love it. It is really refreshing, and sometimes I even use it twice a day because of the feeling it gives to my skin. Definitely something to use in humid days.

4. Cosmetic plant - night cream with argan oil - First I tried the day cream, which I loved so much that I had to buy the night one. I have only good things to say about both creams, they hydrate the skin and make it radiant. I have used a few creams so far from Nivea, L'oreal, Vichy but this one is at the same level or even better than the others and it is so cheap, 17-18 RON at DM.

5. Olay essentials complete care day fluid for normal to oily skin (SPF 15) - If you've been following us, you might know that I am obsessed with this! I have been using it for a long time, and even now in summertime it's perfect, because it's really light plus it has SPF to protect your skin. After showering, using a facial scrub and a toner, this is the last step in my daily "face - care" routine.

6. Vichy 48hr Anti-Perspirant treatment roll on - I have no idea what kind of anti perspirant treatment people use mostly, but if you have asked me one month ago, I would have said a big no-no to roll ons. Somehow I have bad memories regarding these, when I was little I used the Avon ones and I hated them. Ever since, we've used Nivea- Invisible spray. But because Vichy products are so freaking amazing, we gave this one a chance. And I haven't read any reviews on this one, but I love it. It doesn't stick, it has such a nice smell and it's effective.

7. Garnier Ambre Solaire - After sun (refreshing hydrating spray) - After a day at the pool this is the product that you want to put on your skin. It cools and hydrates the skin at the same time and the scent of it is amazing.

8. Maybelline - Baby lips (hydrate + pink punch) - We've been using these ever since we bought them in England in February, but because they are soon available in Romania, we decided to include them in our post. We also have the Cherry Me, but Kinga forgot it in her purse, so we couldn't include it in the photo. Saci's fave must be the Pink Punch, perfect for everyday, and it gives your lips a great color. Kinga's fave is the Cherry Me, once again, because of the color!

9. Oriflame - The one: volume blast mascara - First I was disappointed. I read so many good reviews about this, but when I opened and saw the tiny brush I was like "hell no" and put it back. If you've read our first monthly fave post where I wrote about the Astor mascara, you know that I love the big brushes. So it took me some time till I reopened this mascara and tried it on. I was amazed. After two layers, I felt like I was wearing fake lashes (I have no idea what that feels like since I never needed them).

10. Oriflame - The one: colour unlimited lipstick (endless red) - We received these Oriflame goodies at the Fashionality event, and the first product I have tried out was this lipstick. I really like it because it's red, but not like other red lipsticks. It's more summery, glossy and you don't even feel it on your lips. When I usually wear red lipsticks, I have to look in the mirror every half an hour and I have to touch up, but this one, even though it doesn't last that long, it's so nice, you forget about it. But still your lips are nice!
