Home Bank: Girls choose one favorite medium
Many people like not only to buy cosmetics and try different means, but also to find one most favorite, to stay with him forever. We asked the girls' acquaintances about the banks, which they would have taken with them to the uninhabited island without hesitation, and found out why.

Sanskrin Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40
Rita Popova
product manager Replika
Of course, I do not live under a stone and have known for a long time how important it is to apply Sanskrin daily, but in Moscow's cold and cloudy climate I often neglected even tonal protection, not to mention serious individual means. For a long time, Erborian BB cream and Dr. Green brand cream alternately served as my Sanskrin. Jart. However, the sun in my life has become much more, while I did not stop loving acids, and the multitasking tools with the need for protection from harmful rays somehow ceased to cope. So I found Unseen Sunscreen American
Supergoop !, which specializes in products with SPF and produces them in various forms (for example, fixing powders, sticks and sprays). Specifically, this product promises a lot (working sanskrin without odor and color, which is not felt on the skin, cares for it and serves as a base for make-up? It sounds suspicious), but everything is true!
The gel is exceptionally pleasantly distributed over the skin, otherwise it isn’t named "velvet", so now I honestly use it every day and don’t even lazy to update it every couple of hours if I am in the sun a lot. Even now I am writing this small comment and smile on what this Sanskrin is good for, and thoughts about how I will be grateful to myself in a couple of decades, generally warm my soul. I chose between this Sanskrin and a similar product Glossier. Supergoop! for me it turned out to be more attractive in all respects: it is easier to buy (sold in each Sephora), a better price ($ 18 per ounce against $ 25), higher protection (SPF 40 against $ 35). In addition, I simply trust the company, which deals almost exclusively with sun protection. This Sanskrin also won some kind of reward and beautifully shines with holographic letters on the packaging, which also adds to its charm.
Alex Cosmetics Hydrating Leave-On Mask Moisturizing Mask
Lina Markina
Mel.fm Sales Manager
I have to say: I have a brilliant beautician. The way my skin looks and feels now is its merit. She works mainly with the German cosmetics Alex Cosmetics and once advised me a mask with the effect of deep moisturizing, strengthening and lifting. For me, it became a real salvation, because the skin is often overdried (especially after a few glasses of wine). I put on a mask for the night and go to bed bravely. It is very, very fat, it is written on the bank that it should be washed off in fifteen to twenty minutes, but I do not wash it off for greater effect. Someone not
I like the fact that it is poorly absorbed, but I do not care. But in the morning there is no feeling that you look like a sole. Composed of several oils: shea, jojoba and wheat germ. Plus hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin so that the mother does not grieve.
This mask is useful to use if you rest in a sunny country: it has panthenol. This is also SOS recovery after long flights. I also like the fact that it can be applied to the lips, and for me they constantly crack and require moisture. If I had to keep only one bank for the rest of my life, perhaps I would choose this one. In general, with her, I even forgot about my night mask Dr. Jart +, which is praised by everyone, young and old. Hydrating Leave-On Mask costs about three thousand rubles, but I bought my 50 ml half a year ago and have not spent it until now, although I use it about once a week. I also have Kiehl's moisturizing masks, but unfortunately, there are questions about the tightness of their cans.
Lip balm Nuxe Rêve de Miel
Irene Shimshilshvili
Make-up artist, author of the Telegram-channel "Diary of Vizazhidze"
About two years ago I was got by forever drying and cracking lips. I asked the channel subscribers to send me the best, in their opinion, balms, then made a list. Many people praised Nuxe Rêve de Miel - but then in Russia I couldn’t catch him, brought from Italy. If you apply it overnight, then in the morning your lips will become moist, and the cracks will heal. I use it not all the time, only when needed. Can format is not very convenient, you have to climb into balm
with my finger, but I found an interesting solution to the problem: I rub the remnants into the cuticle and into dry areas of the skin of my hands (I have dermatitis). I did not try to find a replacement, because for now everything is fine. I bought two more jars for this winter.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser Cleansing Gel
Ksyusha Petrova
Wonderzine growth and distribution editor
My acquaintance with Kiehl's took place in 2014, when I and university friends signed up for the L'Oréal Brandstorm case-championship: that year, participants were offered to develop a concept for a new Kiehl's product line and think over a marketing campaign. Our team did not move beyond the Moscow stage, but we were comforted by a buffet and gifts - we were given out to everyone by a set of cans of different brands belonging to L'Oréal, there was also a gel for washing
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser. Since then, he has not disappeared from my cosmetic bag: now I have a big tube and a small travel version. Before that, I used to wash with different means, but there were no pets: I don’t like the products that are washed “to the squeak” (well, aggressive cleansing is not particularly useful for the skin), and oily substances, on the contrary, leave a feeling of insufficient purity.
What I like about it: a neutral, slightly pharmaceutical smell, a very economical consumption (a tiny drop of gel is enough to thoroughly wash the entire face, and I have enough of a large tube for almost a year), the absence of any consequences for the skin does not dry, not fat, no feeling of tightness. The brand is positioning this product as a universal fighter for all skin types - I think it is, at least for my combination and not very demanding, it fits perfectly. It contains a lot of oils, so the gel copes with a modest amount of cosmetics perfectly, and I wash the micelle with the strongest and brightest before washing. With such a tiny expense, the price (1500 rubles for 150 ml) turns out to be quite reasonable, so I didn’t even look for a cheaper alternative. The only means for washing, which I also actively liked, I accidentally bought in India at the Forest Essentials store, but in Russia it is harder and more expensive to buy than Kiehl's, and I decided that I was not ready to bother. I wash with the gel in the evening, as soon as I come home, most often with a Foreo brush, but sometimes just like that. In general, it’s just a good gel that does its job and doesn’t show off; I don’t need anything more from a caring jar.
Lipstick Marc Jacobs Le Marc in the shade of No Angel
Roxana Kiseleva
beauty journalist, author Telegram channel godblesstheconcealer
A couple of years ago I ordered through my husband a friend of my friend a set of lip liners Up All Night from Chicago's Sephora. The remaining four shades seem to be lying (although they are also super), but I buy No Angel for the third time and take it with me on all the trips. First, she has the perfect shade for me, which suits almost all my makeup. The brand itself describes it as "apricot nyud", but with my low-contrast appearance, it even looks
a bit fatal. But its main advantage is that it can make up lips exactly in any conditions. In the elevator, in a taxi, when on the way home I suddenly decided to go to the club, on the plane at the landing, in the shuttle bus, on the subway escalator - it does not matter. So if on a desert island I had to run away from a wild beast, I could make up with it even on the run to die beautifully.
Alternatives to this lipstick, I was not looking. I suspect that this shade is far from unique, and cool lipstick formulas can be found everywhere - from Essence to Guerlain. But this lipstick is strongly associated with some good times, new beginnings and pleasant acquaintances, so I plan to buy it all my life. I already have more than thirty lipsticks in my cosmetic bag, but I constantly wear and buy only this one, which means that it is really special for me.
