About care
I constantly experiment and change means, but not because "the effect will accumulate, the skin will get used, and the tool will stop working," I just get tired of it. I always want something new, the benefit of the cosmetic industry is doing everything so that I have new jars on my shelf. I'm not afraid to try and tough enough things. I threw out a bottle of lotion 1972 Biologique Recherche, which runs along the face like napalm. When you apply it, the first thing that comes to your head is a scene from the Apocalypse Today, where a wave of napalm burns palm trees on the shore. Thank God, after that the face remains with you.
I will never forget the Dior iOd line, it was closed and completely in vain, because it was incredibly beautiful. I love creams that I want to fall into with my face - this is the best criterion, no matter if it is for face or body. If you open a can and you want to fall into it, and better to live in it, this is your ideal tool.
I combine different brands. This is not very good, because all cosmetologists advise at least a cream and tonic to select the same brand. I must say, I talk with little tonic enough, they don’t get accustomed to me very much - probably because I’m just too lazy to introduce one more step to care.
Recently, I abandoned the cream for the skin around the eyes out of interest; In addition, many reputable sources say that they are not very necessary. It seemed to me that everything was better - perhaps my creams just did not suit me. Now I have only the Bliss Baggage Handler gel, which really cleans bags under the eyes, although I have the structure of the century that you cannot remove them completely.
About decorative
My main struggle is for the complexion, which I saw at my place, in my opinion, only in children's photos and after the half marathon. Therefore, I have a lot of tonal resources - here they are a third or a quarter - and blush. If everything else was taken away, I would not be very upset. Rarely, when I go out on the street without a minimum tone, I also like a certain protective effect that they give, not even SPF, but a kind of barrier that separates the environment and Moscow dust.
I love lipsticks very much, but I am not the person who will constantly correct lipstick during the day: I forget about her, but I don’t like to use persistent ones, because they are still dry. Therefore, I won back in the shadows. Again, the Urban Decay Naked palette, which didn’t get here, always suggests something.
I have a lot of brushes, but I actively use five. Makovska dvuhvorsovaya - for blush, which are easily dialed on the brush. For Chanel blush I have a brush of the Polish brand Maestro, which I was sent as a beauty blogger. It is tough enough to gather a dense blush, and soft enough not to scratch the face. There is a strange kabuki brush for the meteorites of the ridiculous Physicians Formula, which is sold in American supermarkets. Shadow brushes I rotate; My last hobby is to take a thick wide brush for shadows and see what happens. This brush for cream blush is what I use more or less constantly.
About trackers and supplements
It all started with the Fitbit, which was presented to me, because I myself crept, huddled and didn’t really want to buy it. Practice has shown that Fitbit is very useful; at that moment everyone began to measure themselves: who had not walked ten thousand steps in one day, that bottom and worthless man. Now there is the Nike + Fuelband, the third one: I bought myself an orange, which makes me move more by saying “Go, Nata”. I believe that Fuelband is generally one of the best inventions, not only in wearables, but in general in gadgets; for me he became an incentive to check how much I move. With him you can not only measure with friends, but also in general feel that you honestly gave your body what it deserves. I plan not to stop and wait for gadgets that consider something else to become more accessible and functional.
I eat quite a lot of vitamins and dietary supplements. Multivitamins, the obvious effect of which I do not feel, but notice that almost no longer hurt with them. Glucosamine is for the joints, because I constantly fall and break my knees. After I arrived in San Francisco (not even at half-marathon, but outside) and severely broke my knee, I began to drink it - and after a few months my knee stopped hurting. I periodically buy vitamins for hair: French Oenobiol or American Viviscal. Now I'm still drinking Buddha's Herbs ginseng supplement. After the order, these people sent me a huge cart - not just a marketing text, but a detailed story about how they produce their supplements, so that God forbid they do not think that they are doing something wrong. Periodically drink 5-HTP, melatonin, calcium and omega-3 and -6. Thus, in the year I drink something in a course - except for multivitamins, which I eat constantly.
