About attitude to cosmetics
It seems that I do not have any special system of selection of cosmetics, but there are some limitations: I almost never make purchases on the Internet and before I buy something, I read reviews on the tool I'm interested in. I rarely buy something just because the jar has attracted the store. We have a blog with a girlfriend section "Pandora's Box" - usually a box or cabinet in the bathroom, where all the funds that did not fit for some reason go. I'm tired of the fact that the contents of the box are growing from year to year, so lately I have been trying to buy cosmetics more selectively.
In general, I save a lot on cosmetic procedures - I rarely get adequate masters from the first time, and I don’t want to look for my own trial and error method every time after the next move. Therefore, I do the manicure and eyebrow correction myself, my friend cuts me with sewing scissors, and since I work a lot from home, I often sit at the computer with a mask on my face and oil in my hair, while no one sees. I like to use different home remedies for the mood: recently, my favorite was coconut oil, which I put on my hair before washing my hair and on the body after a shower.
About care
I'm pretty unpretentious - all I need is a cleanser, a cream (depending on the season, it can be intensely moisturizing or with SPF) and a mask for deeper cleansing a couple of times a week. In general, I really like a variety of cleansing masks, especially on the basis of clay: either I mix myself or buy ready-made ones. The skin immediately becomes fresher and cleaner, and with regular use the overall appearance really improves.
For quite a long time, I dyed my hair a couple of shades lighter (I don’t know why), and, having refused it a couple of years ago, I accept my natural hair color with delight. I'm not sure if I’ll ever be dyeing my hair again.
About decorative cosmetics
I often use decorative cosmetics in order to make my face a little more contrast: to finish my eyebrows or add a blush. Multi-colored arrows, contouring and four-layer make-up is not for me - there is not enough skill and patience to learn. In adolescence, my skin left much to be desired, and then I was more than using tonal tools, so now I enjoy the fact that you can do without them.
My preferences in make-up are quite dependent on general trends in the fashion world, and I usually grab the most simple and versatile in execution — well, for example, red lipstick. But if it would be necessary to choose one favorite remedy from all color cosmetics, it would definitely be pale pink blush - they immediately make the face look fresher.
