I love moisturizing my skin all year round — lightweight creams in summer, rich body butters in winter. And who does it better than Sol de Janeiro? Today I’m sharing my thoughts on two of their most iconic formulas — Delícia Drench Body Butter and Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.
And today I’m showing you the recent Catrice Hollyglazing collection. Its main feature is the packaging: each product comes with a special ring for attaching a keychain. The keychain itself is sold separately so you can clip on your favorite items. I picked two products that seemed the most interesting to me — the eyeshadow and the lip gloss. They’re pretty, but not exactly flawless.
Once a week I always treat my hair to a nourishing mask — it’s my little ritual. My hair is dry, fine, and tends to tangle and frizz at the ends, so I need something that truly softens, nourishes, and tames. The best rinse-off mask I’ve ever tried (and keep repurchasing!) is the Wella Invigo Nutri-Enrich Mask with Goji Berry.
Recently, Essence has released several hyped-up new products that completely took over social media. I managed to grab three of them, and I’m ready to share my impressions without delay.
This autumn, I finally decided to take my skincare seriously and introduce the ingredient everyone praises — retinol. Since it was my first experience, I didn’t want to go too high-end right away, so I chose the Neutrogena® Retinol Boost set — featuring the eye cream, serum, and night cream.
Comes in a small tube with a narrow nozzle — convenient and hygienic. The texture is light, almost balm-like, with a very faint scent that disappears quickly. It spreads easily, doesn’t weigh down the delicate skin around the eyes, and absorbs fast.
I use it only at night (not risking morning application yet). It gives a good dose of hydration, but I can’t say I’ve noticed a strong lifting or brightening effect — at least not yet. For now, I treat it as a preventive anti-aging product.
The serum comes in a tube with a pump that dispenses just the right amount. It has a lightweight, creamy-fluid texture and a soft powdery scent that lingers briefly.
I use two pumps for my face and neck before bed. During the first few uses, I felt a gentle warmth after application — completely normal when introducing retinol — but my skin quickly adapted.
Not long ago, NYX released a new face collection featuring bronzers, blushes, and highlighters — and as a true magpie, I couldn’t resist the shiny ones. I picked the two most unusual shades (the only one wilder is No. 45 — go look it up, TikTok is obsessed with it): a green and a lavender highlighter. The green one was so hard to find that it literally came to me from Slovenia 😄
I once tried a niacinamide serum and didn’t really “get” the hype — it seemed to do nothing special. But recently, I found another one in my advent calendar: the Rosental Organics Niacinamide Serum. This time, things were different — I finally understood what this active ingredient can do!
The Maybelline Glaze Oil Balm has taken social media by storm — everyone’s calling it a dupe for Dior’s famous lip balms. But is it really?
Like many, my first encounter with Erborian was through their iconic BB cream — and I really liked it. But today’s story is about another product: a two-phase oil-serum with 17 super ingredients, which I didn’t understand at first… but eventually fell in love with. Here’s how I found the right approach — and why it’s perfect for autumn. 🍂
Yellow is the color of positivity — and you can find it not only in makeup but also in haircare.
Right now, I’m using the famous Semi di Lino Cristalli Liquidi THE Original from Alfaparf Milano — the brand’s cult “liquid crystals” for shiny, silky hair. But are they truly perfect? Let’s talk pros and cons 👇
I love wearing colored mascaras — when else, if not now, to add a little color and joy to your makeup? For a long time, the mass market offered only the same old shades — blue, brown, or black — but now we finally have something new and trendy: burgundy! The Catrice Glam & Doll Volume Mascara in Eternal Red captures this color perfectly.
Back in spring, I started noticing a deepening frown line between my brows — and honestly, it started to bother me. Since I’m not planning on getting any injections just yet, I went searching for a “botox-like” serum and came across the Spanish brand La Cabine and their Botulinum Effect ampoules.
I adore light foundations, tints, and BB creams, so after reading countless reviews of the Holika Holika Moisture Petit BB Cream, I decided to give it a try — and I haven’t regretted it for a second.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Bioderma — their products are gentle, effective, and work beautifully for my dry and sometimes sensitive skin. My latest discovery is their rich face cream, a nourishing moisturizer that soothes irritation and leaves skin feeling calm and comfortable.
About a year ago, I discovered the magic of leave-in creams, serums, and lotions for hair — before that, I relied only on oils and sprays. But as it turns out, creams work even better for my hair type. Out of all the ones I’ve tried, one product stands out, especially for those with fine hair: Alfaparf Milano Semi di Lino Density Thickening Cream.
We continue our little journey through Cosnova’s magical Alice in Wonderland collaboration — this time with the Catrice side of the release. I picked up three products: the aroma serum roll-on, the Diamond Haze highlighter, and the Luminizing Compact Powder. Spoiler alert: I liked almost everything!
The Skin1004 Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum might be one of the most hyped sunscreens in recent years. It constantly appears in Top 3 Korean SPF lists and is loved by countless beauty bloggers. Naturally, I had to try it — and it didn’t disappoint.
Now, I prefer perfumes that aren’t overpowering but remain floral and fairly long-lasting. My top pick this season is Giorgio Armani My Way Eau De Parfum.
I’ve tried several products from Celimax — their serum, exfoliating pads with noni, cream, and mask — but today I want to talk about the mask, even though the serum also deserves attention. Noni is the key ingredient in one of Celimax’s skincare lines. It’s a nutrient-rich fruit packed with antioxidants and enzymes that promote skin vitality.
