Back in my teenage years, I used to flip through glossy magazines and honestly even enjoyed the ads — that’s how I first discovered Herbal Essences. Their products always looked so appealing and ароматные, but I never actually got the chance to try them back then. So when I recently spotted the brand in stores again, I didn’t hesitate — I grabbed a few things to test, starting with the All-in-1 Rose Spray.



While the weather hasn’t turned fully cold yet, lip glosses are still very much in my rotation. Lately I’ve been wearing them more often, mainly because modern formulas are no longer sticky — and stickiness was exactly why I used to avoid glosses. Today I want to talk about a lovely option: Essence Juicy Bomb Lip Gloss in shade 04 Crazy Cherry.

The brand Balea has a really solid range of affordable body and face care, and I’ve been slowly testing their face masks — both sheet and rinse-off versions.



Physician’s Formula has a successful makeup line based on natural oils. I’ve owned the bronzer from this series for a long time, and now the Murumuru Butter Blush in the shade Vintage Rouge has joined it.



I finally tried the famous Heimish All Clean Balm, and I have to say — I’m impressed. My skin generally loves Korean skincare, so I had high expectations, and thankfully, this balm didn’t disappoint.



The Catrice 5 in a Box Mini Eyeshadow Palette 080 Diamond Lavender Look is super compact — it easily fits into any makeup bag, and with just 4 g of product, it’s clearly designed for convenience. The plastic packaging feels sturdy and even looks almost like glass, while the lid closes with a satisfying click. A nice touch: the formula is infused with rose oil, as stated on the front.

K-beauty is slowly taking over my entire home — and now it’s not just skincare, but body care too. My latest find is a hand cream with a white musk scent, and surprisingly, it became one of my favorites (even though I’m usually not a fan of this note in perfumes).



When you have long hair, conditioners disappear fast, so I’m always testing new ones. This time I decided to go back to a brand I used to love — John Frieda — and picked the restoring conditioner John Frieda FRIZZ Ease Wunder-Reparatur Conditioner.



I can’t help but reach for this beauty — Makeup by Mario Eyeshadow Quad in Bronzey — every single day lately.

I really enjoy products from the Polish brand Tołpa — they combine minimalism with effective formulas. Today I want to talk about two creams that worked really well for me, even though they each have a small downside.
