For category "Cosmetic Bag" 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 appearance
It was always difficult for me to accept my appearance: I was a child full and ugly from the point of view of my classmates; still sometimes see in the mirror the girl with whom no one wanted to dance at the school disco. From adolescence, I suffered from eating disorders and I know firsthand what it is to gain and throw off ten kilograms per month, as it affects self-esteem and the general condition of the body. Now I’m vegan and I eat intuitively: I don’t stick to any diets and I feel good.
About lifestyle
After I started working in freelancing, my life, and with it my daily routine and habits, everything changed. At first it was a bit scary, but in the end it turned out that it was cool to organize your day by yourself and deftly insert into your schedule a nap and fast yoga. I try to sleep well and be less nervous. It is also important for me to observe hygiene in communication. I turn off notifications in messengers, if I feel that I am tired, I minimize the conversations with people with whom I feel uncomfortable. I used to scold myself for aimless leisure, like watching a reality show or the series "Happy Together," I constantly felt guilty for choosing this and not reading a book. But in general, there is no bad leisure.
The most important thing for me is my comfort zone. I definitely need to relax at all from everyone, even from the closest people and the most exciting correspondence. I put too much emotion into any communication, so then I just need to lie with headphones for a couple of hours, singing along with Brian Molko. If I do not have the opportunity to do it in the middle of the day, I still find a few minutes for breathing exercises or aimless walking to the nearest store.
About good habits
This year my work was often related to parties. I love good music and dancing with friends, but now I try to get involved in it less often. I also almost managed to quit smoking: I was a heavy smoker for ten years, who starts his day not with breakfast, but with a cigarette. Now I only smoke for the company, and this is not bad - all smokers will understand me. A cool new habit was the ability to stop any toxic communication - work or personal. I used to underestimate the effect of stress on overall health. I sincerely dream to improve relations with sports: with age the body changes and in order to feel good, physical activity is needed. In the near future I plan to sign up for the pool.
About care
I adhere to the "the less the better" approach, so all sorts of multistage care systems are not at all mine. Standard morning - gel for washing, tonic, day cream (always with SPF!) And cream for the skin around the eyes. In the evening I wash off the makeup, apply a tonic, and then I focus on the condition of the skin: either a cream with acids, or a night moisturizing mask, or an antibiotic ointment, which the dermatologist prescribed to me. In winter, amid severe stress, I had a relapse of acne, the consequences of which I have been treating so far.
I love my cactus body brush, do a dry massage, take a douche and apply coconut oil. In summer, I additionally use a sunblock with high SPF on all exposed parts of the body. I literally do not leave the house without sunscreen: I do not like tanning.
About make-up
In fact, I do not really know how to paint. To draw arrows for me is a whole challenge. Recently, I starred in the video, and I was offered to lighten my eyebrows. I immediately agreed. And I have never felt so cool! I have to admit that in Moscow I often hear that it looks weird, they can point at me with my finger in transport, especially if at the same time I am brightly painted lips. But it seems important to me to express myself through appearances, just in Russia, this is still a very conservative attitude. But things are slowly changing.
I try to follow cosmetic innovations, especially interesting multi-functional tools and modern care. I read blogs by Adel Miftakhova and Masha Vorslav in a telegraph. I also like the reality show "RuPaul's Drag Race": there are a lot of things that inspire me.
