Musician and PR coordinator Oksana Ivashinina about favorite cosmetics
For "Available" 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 natural cosmetics
Not so long ago I had a period when I used only oils, interfered with masks myself and even made an antiperspirant myself. But, I confess, it did not last long for me, although I still try to use mostly natural and ethical cosmetics. There is no fanaticism here - just in the cosmetic market now there is an abundance from which I like to choose something as natural as possible. But all household chemicals we have strictly "non-chemistry": it does not arise the temptation to buy new beautiful jars, so sometimes you can do with baking soda or mustard. For several years I have been ordering most of my set of cosmetics on the Internet, I really like European dragstores with their miniatures and natural cosmetics departments.
One of the most universal remedies for me is rose water. I usually buy it at a low price in grocery stores. Regularly apply to face, body and hair. If you mix it with sea water, you get a cool styling tool.
About fragrances
I am very sensitive to smells: at home we have a million candles, chopsticks, aroma oil in case you need to kill unpleasant odors from neighboring apartments or, on the contrary, tune in to a pleasant mood. For this reason, by the age of thirty I still have no favorite perfume. I love the clean bodily smell, I would gladly wear the smell of seaside pines, pure snow or the morning city after the rain. I firmly believe in aromatherapy - "Star", which for many people does not cause the best associations, for me salvation is often. And relax, and invigorate when necessary.
About healthy habits
A couple of years ago, I suffered from frequent migraines: thoughtlessly swallowed painkillers, sometimes - instead of breakfast. Now, when they left because of yoga, stress reduction, or simply because they thought so, my head rarely hurts. In this case, I try to manage with distracting and refreshing sticks and the same “Star” - they are always with me.
About six months ago I started eating oatmeal every morning and am ready to declare with full responsibility that its miraculous properties are not a myth. If the skin starts to behave strangely, always turn to buckwheat in the evenings. I can not get rid of the habit of drinking a lot of water at night, so in the morning I often soak my eyes with rose water, otherwise the face looks like an air mattress.
About make-up
I really like experimenting with make-up: when I am in a good mood, I open my board on Pinterest and come off. In general, sometimes it seems to me that my cosmetic bag looks more like a teenager's cosmetic bag: solid glitter, colorful carcasses and shadows. At Magnetic Poetry concerts, I usually smear with a kilogram of glitter - and this is my happiest condition.
