About work in the field of beauty
I got into the sphere of beauty by chance, and if someone told me then that I would carefully read the compositions of the products, I would know how natural cosmetics are different from organic, what peptides are and, even more so, that I would never again smear face cheap hand cream (if suddenly there was no other near), I would probably not believe it. I used to choose intuitive care products, it never occurred to me that mineral oils clog pores, and formaldehyde, which is part of many mass-market tools, can cause, at best, severe allergies, and at worst - lead to cancer. . I also, like many others, thought that facial oil clogs the pores and makes the skin oily, so I ignored it. The fact that Cosmotheca happened in my life, of course, made me understand and rethink many things concerning personal care and the approach to cosmetics in general.
About the main thing
In cosmetics, the main thing for me is that it works, gives a real result, and not just temporarily masked flaws. Previously, organics were perceived as something a bit exotic, for a particular circle of people, now this term was replicated, it became clear to a wider audience that this is why and how it works. Recently, a lot of organic brands have appeared. They are pleasant not only with effective components, but also with support for conscious consumption: their products are not tested on animals, and all the bottles are made from biodegradable materials.
I am Monogamous, so if I came up with some kind of tool, then, most likely, it will be for a long time. I'd rather save on something else, but my body and my appearance is a zone that does not tolerate compromises. I like to experiment, but it is more concerned with decorative cosmetics - here, in spite of the profession, I can well buy into the cheerful packaging, bright colors. All these girly things are where to go.
If I were sent to an uninhabited island and I would need to choose only a few necessary means, then it would definitely be a cleansing oxygen mask (it can return a human appearance after a sleepless night, too merry parties and long journeys) and glycol peeling discs (Malin + Goetz), after which you can reduce trips to a beautician to a minimum, and, perhaps, BB-cream (here you need sun protection, moisturizing, and human complexion) and body cream - I really like different oriental smells: patchouli, ylang-ylang and smells of herbs.
About care
Self-care is first and foremost a system, of course, it is both sports and food. I really like to swim, in this sense I was lucky, I absolutely do not force myself, and in general I really like active rest, but as for food, it’s harder here. I sincerely envy people who do not like sweets, because they don’t care at all, for example, be it a quiche cake or a bulgur from quinoa. I - no, and it's sad. True, a couple of times in my life there were moments of enlightenment: I actually had a strict diet, I carried with me 5-6 lunch boxes per day with different meals, wrote down what and when I eat. The result was obvious and "on the body", respectively, at some point you tune in to this system and you feel comfortable, but, to be honest, the only thing I still wanted, in spite of everything, is sweet!
About daily makeup and mass market
In recent years, my makeup is pretty minimalistic. I believe that nothing can be more beautiful and feminine than even and radiant skin - what is called naked face. Therefore, my daily ritual usually consists of cleansing, moisturizing cream (I really like fast-absorbing and matting skin textures like Dr. Alkaitis), BB cream, highlighter, neat combed and tinted eyebrows and blush. I remember how in high school I drew myself some kind of insane arrows, looked up, so that they could no longer be seen, and, of course, put a mask of tonal cream that lived a separate life. Until now, with horror, I look at all tanning, and the sphere is developing - we have already invented special napkins with such an effect. If I'm going to some evening event, as a rule, I focus on the lips - bright lipstick can completely change the makeup. I love matte textures, coral and wine shades and, of course, MAC Russian Red lipstick. I do not like glitter, all the time it seems to me that they have sticky lips and everything gets dirty. The only exception is Dior Lip Maximizer.
I have nothing against the mass market, quite the contrary. I have a few favorite remedies that I use all the time: it is a mascara for eyebrows and a marker for Maybelline arrows, Pupa has a wonderful highlighter and light tint lipstick with a weightless texture from inexpensive BB creams. I also really like BB cream Maybelline Dream Pure BB, it works great. I recently discovered the Lee Stafford brand from care, I liked their shampoo and conditioner from the Blinding Brunette line, they refresh the color, so this is especially important for dyed hair, but for natural hair it will be only a plus.
About aromas
I have a story with perfumes: I like heavy smells. If there are woody notes, amber, musk, patchouli and leather in the perfume, I will like it. Aromas for me is generally an important thing, on what I choose, not only my mood, but also the whole behavior, any gestures can depend. Perfume for me is second skin, and, of course, a way to identify a person, we often associate some things with smells. When I was sixteen, my favorite perfume was Versace Crystal Noir, and this is an absolutely crazy smell for me, every time I hear it, episodes from that time begin to pop up in my memory. True, this is still a rather strange choice for a teenager - the fragrance is very feminine and very evening.
