About cosmetics
The process of choosing and buying cosmetics from me is calm. Usually, I decide in advance what I need, make a list and spend in the store on the strength of about ten minutes. At the same time, I choose the most diverse products, that is, in addition to the basic set of "ton-mascara-face cream-hand cream", in the basket there are eyeliners of various shades, unusual lipsticks and novelties, which are interesting for me to try.
I have never been interested in cosmetics more than the average person, but at the same time I managed to become a beauty editor at the time when the website Buro 24/7 was launched. What, by the way, I never regretted - it was an interesting experience and a great opportunity to begin to understand well something unusual. Six years have passed since taking office, and my attitude towards cosmetics and the industry as a whole has changed a lot. I buy consciously, I read the compositions carefully. And although I'm still not a fan of cans, those of them that come to me, I appreciate, and I love the shore.
About the industry
There are a lot of sources of information and cosmetics themselves. In my opinion, this not bad helps to choose non-obvious brands, increases the initiative and self-esteem, allows you to remain yourself and not become a hostage of aggressive advertising and other dubious stuffing.
The place of the popular actress with artificial eyelashes in advertising mascara today was taken by an instagram blogger boy with hundreds of fans around the world who show and tell how and from what to make the coolest people in the world Smoky Aiz. Today, a person of any gender, age, social affiliation can become the face of a cosmetic brand - it seems to me really important.
It is remarkable that the new generation is less and less likely to have stamps and more and more to believe in itself, rather than notes from the series "In fashion is brilliant pink lipstick", because lipstick can be anybody - blue, matte, sticky, liquid - or not at all. So I take off my hat and applaud standing to publications (and editors) who do not dictate to the reader where to go and what to buy, but form an understanding of the range, learn to analyze and choose something of their own.
About make-up
I am not one of those who have been following the same scheme for years, they are painted with the same mascara: I just periodically hang out on something more, on something less. Now I have a period of arrows again: I adore all sorts of eyeliners, especially markers, and by the spring there are a lot of them, all shades of the rainbow. I experiment with color and shape as I can.
I do not like the feeling of makeup on the face, so I prefer unobtrusive textures - fortunately, today there are plenty of them. I noticed that if you mix the tone with five or six drops of the Smashbox oil primer, the coating is more airy, plastic and even, it is easier to spread over the face, and the skin glows - since then this tool is always at hand.
I like the fact that today there are dozens of types of pencils and eyebrow shadows and it is not necessary to spend half a day at the mirror to professionally shade them. It's cool that modern highlighters gently highlight the skin, and do not make it look like a Christmas tree toy. In general, I like the fact that cosmetics have become more technological and convenient to use: a little patience and practice - and now you are already as good as Lisa Eldridge.
About care
With care everything is more complicated. I have a fastidious face skin with a tendency to fat, so I am constantly looking for really suitable products. My relatively new find and love is MAC make-up oil, which not only washes off makeup, but also cleans pores well. Recently, I use only one face cream - moisturizing La Roche-Posay, - quite a worthy tool, if we evaluate it in terms of price and quality.
I am not indifferent to body scrubs and body oils, I like the tangible effect after using them. My favorite is a thick warming scrub with cranberries and the volcanic salt Natura Siberica and Elemis body oil with an extract of Japanese camellia. They have stupid and inconvenient packaging, but what to do if a couple of these things work wonders: scrub polishes and warms the skin so that you do not carp, and the oil prolongs the feeling of softness and smoothness.
About hair
With hair I was very lucky. The only time when I had problems with their thickness and quality, happened a few months after the birth of my daughter. One morning, I just washed my head and found thirty percent of the hair floating in the bathroom. To say that I panicked is to say nothing. After spending half a day on the Internet, I finally found out that almost every woman who gave birth faces a similar problem. So most of the vitamins bought up that morning were put in the closet. I left the Phyto Phytophane capsule in the diet, and after a few months my hair really began to grow with the same strength.
As for their care, it, in general, varies little and usually consists of shampoo, conditioner, heat-resistant cream or oil. Once every two weeks I use my favorite Moroccanoil mask, after which my hair becomes soft, glisten and smell deliciously, and I put Olaplex No. 3 onto the ends of Olaplex No. 3 once a month - a reconstituted hair serum. From decorative pieces, I like, perhaps, only antistatic sprays to enhance shine. Biosilk and Alterna Bamboo brands were suitable for my hair.
