I still remember the Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Colour from my friend’s wedding back in 2014. She wore it on her big day and was absolutely thrilled. I, however, only tried it at the beginning of 2024 — and now I completely understand her excitement. Let me tell you why.
Spicules started trending everywhere on social media closer to fall 2024 — and like many, I got intrigued. After reading countless posts and reviews, I decided to try them myself. Since I’ve always had quite visible Venus rings on my neck, by age 34 I thought it was time to take action. That’s how I discovered Medipeel Peptide Naite 1000 Shot Neck Stick.
Catrice has once again updated its ассортимент — this time with a spring release. Many cool products appeared, but what interested me most were the eyeshadows and this brow gel in a small pot.

I used to tint my brows from time to time, then stopped for a while, and recently decided to bring the habit back. I chose the Syoss Brow Permanent Tint in the dark brown shade.
Lately, I’ve gone back to using hair growth treatments — I still want to maintain both my preferred length (for me that’s waist-length) and enough density. I try different products, and this time I reached for the budget-friendly Slovak brand Dixi. As usual, I chose the men’s line (since the women’s one doesn’t have this product) and picked up their Caffein Booster.
Let’s take a little trip down memory lane with Max Factor — a brand many of us grew up with. I don’t see as many posts about it these days, but to me, it’s still a solid classic. Their Colour Elixir Soft Matte line of liquid lipsticks is proof that the brand can still deliver quality — and my shade, 015 Rose Dust, is a gem.
Essence released a lip scrub as part of their Alice in Wonderland collection, and of course I had to get it. The product comes in an adorable and compact 10 ml tube made of sturdy plastic. It’s manufactured in China, although for some reason the ingredient list isn’t printed on the packaging.
More and more brands are launching universal eyeshadow sticks with a jelly texture and multidimensional shimmer. I already tried similar ones from Catrice, so it was time to test their “younger sibling” from Essence. The collection includes three shades, and I chose the nude option — 01 Frosted Twinkle.

Hair oils are a must in my routine — I use them after every wash to soften the ends, reduce frizz, and give that silky smooth finish. But not every oil lives up to expectations. In this year’s ASOS Advent Calendar, I found the Arkive Hybrid Oil Baobab & Jojoba Oil for Hair, and here’s how it performed.
The Rituals Sakura Body Scrub has officially become my favorite — everything about it is perfect, from the scent to the texture.
