Journalist Panya Kirillina about favorite cosmetics
FOR THE FACE "HEAD" we study the contents of beauty cases, dressing tables and cosmetic bags of interesting characters to us - and we show all this to you.
About care
I can hardly call beauty-geek, I have a basic set of personal care products. A couple of months ago, I moved and dumped all my jar-jars together - they fit into one medium-sized box. I read articles about cosmetics with pleasure, I’m sure to put in my mind the task of buying some ultra-technological Japanese mask from snail mucus or expensive lotions with a miraculous effect, but my hands never reach.
As a result, there is a set of tools, without which I can not live and buy for years. Experiments are obtained only when I am looking for the perfect substance. For example, I picked up the face cream, probably, an eternity - I tried all the expensive brands from the Clinique treatment lines to Chanel, pharmacies with the obligatory "Bio" in the name, were bought by some insane jars at Cosmotheca that didn’t fit - this is insulting. I once read about the low-priced Russian brand Natura Siberica, and it turned out that they had the most suitable care line for me in everything that concerns my face. I had not really trusted the funds that cost less than 1000 rubles.
Self-care is always a ritual. You wake up in the morning and, until you open your eyes, you think about what to do with yourself now. Whether to throw a ball with oil into a bath, to make a moisturizing face mask or to once again whiten hair. In general, my system of maintaining a decent appearance is a completely everyday daily action: a multistage procedure in the morning with washing, rubbing with tonic, several layers of cream (this naughty skin has to be overwritten with something nourishing as much as possible - otherwise peeling, premature wrinkles, redness, irregularities and other troubles) - and the same thing in the evening. There are several life hacking: for example, at night I like to put Thai coconut oil on my whole head to head - I always ask my friends to bring it. It seems that in the resorts it is almost bottled out, there is no brand or composition, as a rule, not the usual one - a bottle with a fat all-powerful liquid. It's funny that any other oils destroy all good and only make the bed dirty - and coconut is instantly absorbed.
Many things that I used to do come from somewhere in popular culture, not from real need. I remember once in my childhood I watched an ancient movie about an actress who always smeared knees and elbows with a cream before going to bed - such as the age of a woman is determined by these parts of the body - and I also developed such a habit.
About sport
I terribly envy active girls who run in the mornings and go to yoga after work. Frankly speaking, I confess: I am incredibly lazy in everything related to sports and physical exertion. I calm myself by walking and dancing a lot on weekends. Although in my childhood I was terribly athletic: I did ballroom dancing and artistic gymnastics for a few years, oddly enough, I gave armwrestling for a couple of years (I still boast that in 12 years I won first place in Moscow in the fight for my right hand in the weight category 42 kg).
I think children's classes more or less secured a muscular corset - I can still push up on my fingers, press the speed and all that for speed. It's just that it's scary boring. Sport for me is rather a way to quickly lose weight. Approximately every spring I find extra kilograms of five on the scales and begin to look for some new non-opposing section - like body ballet and Pilates on the reformer. The spirit lasts a maximum of two months - but by this time I am in shape. Here I am more careful with the diet. In general, there are no bans, I just don’t eat too much and punish myself with carrots for burgers. If nourishing and healthy to eat does not work, be sure to drink seasonal vitamins. I remember well what happens with nails and complexion, if you don’t drink a course at least once every six months.
About hair
Actually, most of the time is spent on hair care. I recently pulled a hair dye - really wanted to change something. She did not dare to cut her hair in short, she was already a blonde, and in general she wanted to be a little strange. In general, I armed myself with a hair clarifier, three different shades of Manic Panic, and Tonik balm and began to experiment. The first experiment was gray hair. In order for the paint to take, the hair had to be discolored twice, and I left the gray paint on my hair for the whole night. A week later I tried the lilac color, then the blue, then the color of the sea wave, which was slowly washed into pastel green. The color is washed out in about a week, plus any oil mask knocks it out of the hair. And masks have to be done inevitably, otherwise the hair will fall out. I wash my head every day, so the color every day is a little different. This is at least fun.
Pro makeup
Makeup often pick up the hair color. I like it when the shadows match in shade with the hair. In general, basic makeup, without which I am afraid to leave the house, is BB cream (there is nothing better than the Korean Erborian brand), powder, pink blush and eyebrows. If you need to look good and have time to pack - and this is not a very common situation - I start to depict something for centuries. By inspiration: I can draw arrows over the fold of the century, as Edie Sedgwick did; for the evening I can sit down on youtube on the channel of some beauty blogger and for some reason try out the contouring on myself (this, by the way, looks good only in photos, it is better not to even try).
Color cosmetics in general fascinates me too much and badly affects my financial state. In the cosmetic bag countless lipsticks of about the same burgundy shade plus a dozen strange: black, orange, fuchsia. I call these shades "anti-man", they disperse all the boyfriends. I often buy products that I use once and never touch them until they deteriorate. Well, let's say brown mascara is a completely stupid acquisition. I honestly think that she does not go to anyone at all.
