Pro care and fragrances
I’m never specifically looking for anything - I find out about interesting and important cosmetics during conversations with friends, from accidentally seen posts in social networks, sometimes I come across articles like “5 best means”. But in any case, before I buy something, I will collect 33 more opinions and google the product. Specialized magazines, blogs or the storm of a consultant - this is some next level, while not interesting. And I have no favorite brands, it is noticeable in the mix of my cans. Some means work better than one brand, some - another.
My daily care is pretty simple. Shower before bed with fragrant oil - I really do not like the feeling of something oily on the skin, so I like things like Lush body conditioner or light Clarins oil, when everything that is extra is washed off with water, and the skin remains pleasantly moisturized and smells good. For the face, I recently used Kiehl's cleansing products (Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser cream based on Amazonian clay and Ultra Facial Cleanser gel for washing - I alternate them: one day, another day), and after that I moisten Clarins hyaluronic acid fluid. In general, I somehow stumbled upon a large material on hyaluronic acid, that one of its molecules is capable of holding around a thousand water molecules around itself, and at once there appeared the feeling that I am no longer a beauty amateur. I do not have wrinkles yet, so for now I see only really moisturized skin thanks to hyaluron. Only just started to wash with FOREO - an impulsive purchase, but it seems to be quite useful.
I react very strongly to smells. If some working tool has a disgusting smell or taste, I tolerate it, but this is excusable only for bio-additives. There is nothing better than the smell of fragrant oil, which is cool to fall asleep, the same Clarins, and your favorite perfume during the day - now it’s Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey from the mass and men's fragrance Henrik Vibskov Type B. Of the hair products I leave only those which smell unobtrusively and do not interrupt the perfume. Probably, I will look for a replacement for varnish and dry TONI & GUY shampoo, but only because of too active perfume.
Pro makeup
I almost do not use decorative cosmetics. No shadows, no blush, in case of emergency I keep the foundation and the choice of sweets in the right mood. But this does not mean that I do not like make in principle. A neatly made up girl is always beautiful: so that the tonalus is not a husk, the lips are exactly. I myself do not know how, but if I really want to, I call the makeup artist for help. Every day I use only mascara and eyebrow gel. I never plucked my eyebrows and I think this is a stupid idea, they really start to grow then at random - I remember the eyebrows of the bandmates at the philology department, which were tweaked at one time and now tightly attached themselves to the brow bars. But here, maybe I'm just not in the subject of eyebrow philosophy.
Excellent styling, even tone of the face - this is the minimum for a good mood. If the skin turns red, there is a good base Givenchy Acti'Mine (green), which hides the red, but I try to use it infrequently. I live without makeup. Perhaps that is why there are still no wrinkles.
I once worked in television and every day I went with a ton of makeup on my face. I have very sensitive skin, and it was impossible to just wash off makeup after shooting, she immediately blushed, so I went with this mask all day and took pictures at home before going to bed. It is not difficult to imagine the condition of the skin. Now it looks much better, but I no longer have the desire to experiment with makeup. It is much more interesting to try something new with hair - I have a lot of styling tools, and not to experiment before leaving the house, at the risk of being late, I usually test styling in the evenings or weekends so that you can just wash off in the case of a stupid result . From a loved one - a small jar with OSIS + powder, it textures, gives volume and makes hair very supple, while remaining dry and light. But it sticks together - in general, it is necessary to find an approach to it. Salt has a similar effect, but the hair is noticeably heavier and much stronger.
Manicure is my favorite, I love to do it myself, slowly and carefully, and painting nails is a separate pleasure. Maximum joy from each perfectly evenly painted nail. Well, while I'm doing a manicure, I'm deaf and dumb, this is meditation. My favorite Picls partner, Varya Vedeneyeva, knowing this, gave me a Sephora Box birthday with a LED lamp, a red nail gel, and everything else. Now I almost do not go to salons.
About health and shopping
For me it is important that the immunity was in order and saved me from colds in the winter, now this is my weak side. From dietary supplements in my diet there is spirulina and Ayurvedic chavanprash which, in my opinion, work fine - no longer chronic fatigue syndrome, especially in winter. If you still go in for sports, your general condition will be better - I know about it, but I still don't do it as often as I would like. I don’t know much about proper nutrition, I never watch the amount of calories eaten, the ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, etc. I’m not tall, thin, and have been eating everything from my childhood. But I like more wholesome food, so I would rather eat porridge or Greek salad than a burger. Well, I do not drink alcohol. I read somewhere about a glass of water with lemon in the morning - I am very glad that I brought this to automatism and do not forget.
I am a fan of online purchases, 90% of everything I buy in online stores, that is, all clothes and almost all cosmetics. From vacation, I always want to bring something that you cannot buy from us (and cannot be booked on the Internet), so I stop all the walks and irritate the consultants, looking at one shelf for half an hour.
I don't have pumice. I really used it for the whole life a couple of times for the sake of interest and during a pedicure in the salon. At 28 I have great heels - the same as fifteen years ago. In general, it seems to me that the earlier, from school for example, you begin to use every kind of care, the more problems you will rake and then waste.
