I apply body care after every shower — my skin is quite dry and constantly needs nourishment or hydration. That’s why body lotions are a staple in my routine, and lately I’ve been especially drawn to fragrance-free formulas in larger sizes. One of my recent finds is the Mixa Ceramide Protect Body Lotion.
Lately, lip pencils have been at the peak of popularity — you can apply them all over the lips or use them just to define the contour. And the whole lip combo trend (lip liner + lipstick or gloss) has completely taken over. So I’m joining in and showing you my absolute favorite lip pencil at the moment — Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in shade 600 Anywhere Caffeine, a truly universal shade.
I have the 7.5 ml mini, which fully replicates the design of the 50 ml full-size bottle. Since it’s an eau de parfum, the longevity is quite impressive.
Summer is over and the rainy season has arrived, but neither humidity nor sunshine will be a problem if you use one of Maybelline’s relatively recent launches — Maybelline Build-A-Brow. I chose the marker in shade 255 Soft Brown.
After turning 35, I started noticing that fine expression lines around my eyes were becoming more pronounced. That’s when I decided to take action and chose something more powerful — the Seoul 1988 Eye Cream Retinal Liposome 4% + Fermented Bean. After three months of use, I’m ready to share my results.

I had heard a lot about the Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream from beauty bloggers who praised its unique blue color and supposedly rich, nourishing formula. Of course, I had to try it myself — but my experience turned out to be a bit different.

I regularly buy brow mascaras hoping to find something close to Benefit, but so far my search hasn’t been very successful. Unfortunately, Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara in shade 05 turned out to be another disappointment.
So far, I haven’t found anything better for my feet than urea-based creams. This ingredient works wonders on dry heels, making them incredibly smooth and soft. Lately, I’ve been using the Eveline Foot Therapy 8 in 1 Foot Cream, and it’s been a great find. The tube contains 100 ml, which lasts a really long time.
Lately, I’ve been enjoying shaping my brows using two products instead of one. I usually start with a brow pencil and then lock everything in with a tinted brow mascara. This technique makes brows look fuller, more dimensional, and more natural. For the second step, I recently picked up Maybelline Express Brow Fast Sculpt Mascara in shade 04 Medium Brown.
Sometimes I get the urge to deeply cleanse my pores, especially on my nose. Usually, I rely on cleansing oils, but occasionally I buy pore strips. Unfortunately, the selection in stores is quite limited, so I picked up two budget options from Balea — the regular Hautrein Anti-Mitesser Nose Strips and the charcoal Aktivkohle Nose Strips.
