Did you know that Max Factor makes not only makeup but also skincare? I honestly had no idea until recently, when I tried the Miracle Pure Skin Illuminating Serum with niacinamide and vitamin C — and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
I used to consider myself a fan of Chanel, but over time their products started to feel somewhat bland—even the limited editions stopped catching my eye. Finally, though, something sparked my interest! I picked up a limited-edition quad palette in pink-coffee tones. There are four palettes in the collection, each with a unique design inspired by the house’s symbols and buttons.
As always, the packaging is beyond praise.
The signature velvet pouch is included, though slightly updated this time—with embossing that mirrors the palette’s design.
In my skincare routine, specifically when it comes to makeup removal, I like to alternate between cleansing oils and balms. Right now it’s the turn of an oil — and I’ve been using A’pieu Jasmine Cleansing Oil.
The cold season, for me, is the perfect time for peels. I’ve been obsessed with acids for the past 10 years and I’m not about to give them up. For the last couple of years, glycolic acid has been my go-to—it works perfectly for my skin. My most recent favorite with it is the Neutrogena Liquid Peel. Here’s how it saved me from breakouts and how to use it correctly.
I have long hair, and to keep it looking decent I really have to put in the effort. My routine involves about 10 different products, and one of them is always a hair-loss prevention serum. I use them in courses, trying different brands and price ranges—but not all of them turn out great. Today’s review is about a product that disappointed me: Gliss Kur Hair Wonder Scalp & Root Activator.
A couple of weeks ago, Catrice announced their fall limited edition collection dedicated to all things coffee — Espresso Yourself. It includes an eyeshadow palette (suspiciously similar to Charlotte Tilbury), three shades of glossy lipsticks, two shades of cream bronzer/contour sticks, and even some merch — a hair claw clip. I knew right away I’d be getting the palette and one of the lipsticks, and of course, the shopaholic in me couldn’t resist — I bought them on the very first day of release.
Eveline recently launched new sachet masks (8 ml each) that work more like serums. I picked up all four and I’m ready to share my thoughts.
Almost 10 years ago, L’Oréal had already released a makeup collection in collaboration with Balmain (the lipsticks were stunning), and now they’ve decided to continue the tradition with a new partnership with Mugler. Kylie Jenner became the face of the collection, which includes a cushion foundation, a creamy highlighter stick, eyeliner, mascara, two eyeshadow palettes, and four lipstick shades. Honestly, curiosity got the better of me, but I was only really interested in the lipsticks. I ordered the matte stick in shade Nude 02.
This extraordinary little flower came out as part of the Essence Aloha, Babes summer limited edition. I couldn’t resist, despite the mixed reviews. Spoiler: for me, those reviews turned out to be untrue. =)
Lately, NYX has been releasing some great new products that have rekindled my interest in the brand. One of my recent purchases is the Smushy Matte Lip Balm. The name sounds fun, but in reality, the experience was mixed.
In my hand and cuticle care routine, I always keep an oil on hand. I believe it not only instantly improves the look of a manicure but also has a long-lasting effect. Right now, I’m using the super convenient OPI PRO SPA Nail & Cuticle Oil-to-Go with a brush applicator.
I rarely (but precisely) use micellar waters — I usually prefer cleansing oils or balms. Still, sometimes I want a bit of variety. And it seems I’ve found my favorite in the micellar world: Nuxe 3 in 1 Very Rose — with a rose scent and absolutely no eye irritation.
I mostly use bronzers in the summer — the rest of the year my skin is quite pale and “asks” more for a contour product. But in summer, bronzer becomes my main go-to. =) The best shimmering bronzer in the drugstore segment, in my opinion, is Rimmel Radiance Brick. Mine is in the shade 002 Medium.
I usually prefer to get acquainted with a new skincare brand through either a face mask or a cleansing product. With Klairs, I chose the latter — and I was quite satisfied. But is it really worth its price? Let’s find out.
Recently, I stopped by a popular cosmetics store and discovered a real treasure — a freshly updated Catrice stand, with consultants setting up new testers right in front of me. Naturally, I couldn’t resist the moment: I swatched both of my hands and, of course, didn’t leave empty-handed. I picked up a balm highlighter, a duo eyeshadow, a stick shadow, and a menthol plumping lip gloss. Let me walk you through them — and a little warning: there will be a lot of photos!
I’ll start with the least favorite product and finish with my absolute must-have.
