I absolutely love highlighters and use them in almost every makeup look. I do have a small collection — it used to be bigger, but I decluttered it over time. Today, one of the top spots in my personal ranking belongs to Physician’s Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls in Translucent Pearl, which turns out to be a beautiful glowing highlighter rather than just a powder.
Peptides are one of the most trending ingredients in skincare today. I’ve tried quite a few products with different types of peptides, and they usually work well for my skin. So when I bought Medi-Peel Hyaluronic Volume Eye Cream, I was pretty confident I would like it — and I was right.
I don’t have major skin concerns that require heavy concealer coverage, so I always choose light to medium formulas over full coverage. Essence Multitask Concealer was recommended by a beauty blogger, and I decided to try it during one of my online orders. I picked shade 10 Peachy Ivory.
I can’t imagine my hair routine without leave-in sprays. Every morning I apply them to the lower third of my hair to soften the ends and prevent frizz. The Yves Rocher Volume & Matière Hair Spray pleasantly surprised me — though not without a few nuances.
When it comes to intimate hygiene products, the most important thing is gentleness. I usually choose formulas with proven ingredients, such as lactic acid. That’s exactly what the Dixi Intima Sensitive Emulsion contains — the one currently sitting in my bathroom.
Multisticks are one of the most popular products in decorative cosmetics. In theory, they can be used for almost a full face of makeup — eyes, lips, and cheeks. The Rimmel Kind & Free Tinted Multistick is marketed as a product for lips and cheeks, but in my routine it works only as a blush. And here’s why.
Last winter, I really fell in love with barrier creams. They’re rich enough to protect the skin but still comfortable to wear — almost like wrapping your face in a cozy blanket. My favorite turned out to be the Korean Rawquest Barrier Recovery Cream, which comes in a generous 80 ml size.
The Catrice Colour Blast Eyeshadow Palette in shade 010 Tangerine Meets Lilac is, in my opinion, one of the best affordable summer palettes out there. You can go creative and bold or keep it soft and neutral — your choice!
I really like the budget brand Eveline — they often release interesting and affordable products that are fun to try. A couple of months ago, I noticed their new serums and decided to give them a chance. My logic was simple: if they didn’t work for my face, I could always use them on my body. But they actually turned out quite decent.
After every wash, I use leave-in products. Sometimes it’s sprays, sometimes oils, but most often creams. I’ve tried to make friends with this leave-in cream with heat protection several times, but I still haven’t fully understood it.

I have the 50 ml travel size, which is also available for purchase separately if you want to try it. The full size contains 100 ml and comes with a flip-top cap, while mine has a screw cap. The packaging is minimalistic — soft, opaque plastic.
The texture reminds me of petroleum jelly — quite rich and silicone-heavy, with a powdery “grandma-style” scent. Thankfully, the fragrance doesn’t linger on the hair for long. I apply it to towel-dried hair after washing and distribute it evenly. When I blow-dry, the effect is better: the hair feels soft and pleasant. If I let it air-dry, it can look slightly greasy.
However, the main promised benefits — repair and shine — are missing for me. My hair feels smooth, but it’s usually smooth even without this product. And as for shine, I expected more. Perhaps my hair simply isn’t damaged enough to see a dramatic result, but I don’t feel the desire to repurchase it.
