About care
I always had good skin, and all the care products that I choose fit me. I try very hard to do the ritual of washing and smearing with creams in the morning and in the evening, but it does not always work. But in my youth my mother used to be a zombie to smear arms, legs, knees, elbows with fat cream for the night, and I have been doing this every day for more than 15 years. I am not very worried about the wrinkles and their appearance, so I still have not seriously started looking for eye cream. I like to try new products, but most often I return to my favorite brands. Last year I cooked body butter myself (shea butter, coconut oil and cocoa butter, all organic), and it turned out to be so cool that now I only use it. I also made toner from rose water, apple cider vinegar and lavender essential oil. I do not mind spending 30 minutes a month to prepare cosmetics. Although all this talk about cooking creams and create the impression that I'm barefoot in a white linen dress circling in a cloud of incense, it is not. I like organic cosmetics and all kind of kawai chemistry like Lush.
About decorative cosmetics
In high school, I looked like Jonathan Rhys Meyers from a Velvet Goldmine poster, this explains my love for color cosmetics and the fact that I paint very rarely for the last few years. It happens that in some incomprehensible fit I buy purple lipstick or the shadows of "electric blue pluck out the eye," but basically it all lies on the shelf. The most hardcore makeup products I use in everyday life are multi-colored eyeliners. I also love nail polishes, they give me that in my heart I am still a space princess. The last insanity is Destruction Chanel: it seemed to me that this was an ideal mixture of coral and salmon, without which it was impossible to live, as a result, I painted it once and gave it to my friend. Unfortunately, I have already cooled down to the varnish with glitter for a long time, but I can’t come to terms with it and sometimes use the unreal varnish Dance Legend, bought in the transition in Moscow. I also really like it when I draw all sorts of cool things on the nails like pentagrams and dolphins with laser eyes, but I don't have the patience for that. Once I drew curves inverted crosses and realized that this should be done by professionals. Now there is a site where you can order stickers for nails with any pattern - as soon as the hands reach, I will order Adventure Time and some hellish kittens.
About perfume
I am very sensitive to perfumery. In my youth, I realized that I was not very interested in what the girls were made of, and began to use Daddy Kenzo (such a dark, dark blue matte bottle, then it seemed like the smell of rain and mold). On average, a romance with a scent lasts three years, plus an innocent flirt with novelties. In Helsinki, there is a bad choice of perfumes, and therefore I bring perfume from trips or order through the Internet by trial and error. For example, I recently ordered all Memo Paris testers, and on me they sound like perfumes for aunts with lapdogs. Most of all I love synthetic and animal odors and, of course, patchouli. In general, such a romantic mix of a garage, rotting moss and something oriental. My last perfume love, Another 13 (a collaboration between the Le Labo brand and Another Magazine), was found by my husband, he liked the name, but in the end he said that the perfume smells like dead animals and gave me sensual Gypsy Water Byredo instead. Of course, I immediately bought Another 13, which I have been using for the fourth year. I love Wode Boudicca fragrance paint - I remember when it just appeared and it was somehow hard to get it, everyone said that it smells like sex. But the most unusual compliment associated with this scent, I received from the young man, who said that it was the smell of childhood (well, I really do not know what he did in childhood). For me, scent is a very intimate thing: I would never have been able to buy the same scent as someone I know. Once we exchanged perfumes with a friend who lives in another country, but I still felt uneasy about using her scent.
About healthy food
I try not to listen to my body, because basically he wants only coffee, cigarettes, lemonade, gelatin sweets in the colors of the rainbow and cakes. I try to drink as much water as possible, eat a lot of berries, vegetables and fish. Every day I drink smoothies with spinach or other healthy herbs (ok, not every day, but almost). A couple of years ago, I had a short craze on superfoods and raw food, now I just drink my bad bats - Acai and Goji in powder, which are convenient to add to muesli or the same smoothies, and MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur found in All living organisms, with vitamin C. This is a very good thing for the joints, but most of all I like the way her hair glistens and stone nails grow. My dream is to completely give up sugar.
