I remember when Sephora first opened in Moscow, I knew exactly what I was going to buy — Huda Beauty lipsticks. Back then, they were iconic, hyped, and oh-so-desired. But when I swatched them in store, none of the shades really grabbed me… and to make things worse, one tester nearly spilled on my clothes 😅 So I walked away with a gloss instead.
Korean skincare works perfectly for me, and I’ve proven that many times. Today I want to talk about an amazing night cream that the brand also recommends as a mask — Celimax The Real Noni Energy Repair Cream. I haven’t tried it as a mask, but as a night cream it performs beautifully.
I genuinely enjoy cleansing balms and oils, but lately I’ve been buying them less often. Tired of micellar water, I decided to try the Yves Rocher Chamomile Cleansing Oil for Sensitive Skin — without reading reviews. And I almost didn’t regret it.
I had heard about the makeup brand Moira for a long time, but never got around to trying it. During a recent trip, I stopped by a store that carried the brand, swatched nearly everything, and ended up leaving with a gorgeous single duochrome shadow: Chroma Light Shadow in the shade 020 Lilac Love.
Korean shampoos have long been a staple in my routine, but hair masks haven’t always worked for me — my first experience was a disappointment. That’s why I approached this product cautiously, but since the Daeng brand had already earned my trust, I decided to give the Honey Therapy Plus Hair Pack a try.
Japanese brow pencils have long been cult favorites, but instead of choosing a traditional one, I went for a more modern option — the Shiseido Brow InkTrio. And it turned out to be a very successful pick.
Scalp peels have been a part of my hair routine for several years. I’ve tried almost everything—from acid-based to salt scrubs, and even enzyme powders. My latest favorite (and already finished) is the TRESemmé Purify & Hydrate scalp peel.
I love lip balms, especially natural ones, and use them every night and sometimes before applying lip makeup. Recently, I tried a new brand, John Masters Organics, and chose their Lip Calm in Vanilla.
I love lip oils — they give that beautiful glossy finish while caring for the lips. Sometimes they’re absolute gems, and sometimes… just cute but forgettable. The Revolution Relove Euphoric Roll Baby Lip Oil in Clear turned out to be the latter.
Two-phase makeup removers are rare guests in my beauty routine, but beauty boxes occasionally bring them into my collection. This time, I’ve been using the Yves Rocher Express Eye Makeup Remover with Cornflower Extract, and overall, I’m quite satisfied with it.
