About qigong, sex and creams
I'm a result oriented person. The best care is the health of the whole body, nutrition, good mental state. Therefore, before starting to talk about eyebrow pencils and serums supposedly capable of a miracle, you want to first pay tribute to sex, qigong and parsley with kefir. In semen, for example, there is such a quantity of nutrients and zinc that any bioadditives disappear. From the sperm, orally, not only shines the face, but also improves lymph flow. Of the alternatives - an alginate mask from a beautician. A qigong refreshes the complexion for two days practicing for two hours. If I would be too lazy to practice qigong, I would turn to acupuncture - this is useful for the skin and for the correction of the figure. Another cold shower is good.
Unfortunately, you need to forget about smoking - dryness and wrinkles appear from the smoke. I am not switching to injections yet, although I know that many people love them at an early age.
Creams - a sore subject, compositions - continuous bullshit. And there is no time to deal with biocosmetics. I use Avène, Bioderma, I love Dr. Sebagh, their homeopath advised them to me, and algal masks that cosmetologists give out. I went through all the "chanel and ko" because of the beautiful boxes, but now, when I do my own boxes, I feel more comfortable with black little things.
About aromas
I collect fragrances and give them away. I’m endlessly respecting the powdery and udová clouds of Montale and the daily-convenient citrus or amber Escentric Molecules. The mood is beautiful Comme des Garçons, all without exception. Sneakers, jeans, a scarf and some Ouarzazate or a new pine Monocle is a great start to the day.
About decorative cosmetics
Once I had a period of black eyeliner, but it is exhausting, only shadows are exhausting. There was, by the way, a period in my youth, when I painted girls with milk, tea, and foundation. And now focused on vector graphics.
I love red lipsticks, you only need to pick the right shade, and this is not easy. Blush I do not really go, because I do not abuse. Although a bit of shine on the cheekbones or under the eyebrows, and even above the lip - interesting. I also don't use mascara for my eyelashes - I have the wrong face, elf whitish eyelashes are better for me when they are slightly powdered with powder. The dark mascara, in my opinion, is better for blondes with blue eyes, and it’s good for cats to draw pencil eyes too.
Of course, I love bloody maroon lacquers, but they don’t really suit me - too thin long fingers. Therefore, I like either black to bring the base of the nail, or clear lacquer, or nothing at all. I love the "Japanese" type of clean hands with matte neat nails: hands that were lowered into a bag of rice for a while, and they were covered with rice powder - this is my ideal manicure. In the end, I came up with a gold tea decoration, not to expect love for a pink lacquer from me.
About hair
I don’t like even the easiest styling products - color fades from them. Better by the end of the day everything will be completely straightened, but the brilliance will remain. In general, the most important thing is not to dye your hair. Every year, when melancholy attacks me to be a blonde or a brunette and lasts for about a couple of days, the wonderful Kiev master Igor Lomov twists his finger at his temple and says that he will not allow to lose such a blond color. And I don’t want to go to the others. That's how we live.
