The viral collagen masks definitely didn’t pass me by — I grabbed a few to truly understand the effect. But honestly, one was enough.

I love nude lip glosses because they work with absolutely any eye makeup. For everyday wear, nude shades are universal, effortless, and always flattering. Max Factor X 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze Plumping Lip Gloss in the shade 050 Guava Flair isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely a pretty option.
Fashion is no longer only about practicality — today, a bag is a reflection of mood, personality, and even lifestyle. That is exactly why the collections from DokiBags attract so much attention. Their designs combine playful aesthetics with everyday comfort, creating accessories that instantly become the center of an outfit.
I’ve tried Ariana Grande’s perfumes before but never bought one — they always felt too juvenile and sweet for my taste. However, in the advent calendar, I found a mini version of Lovenotes Angels Kiss and decided to give it a proper try.
If there’s a perfect moment to talk about a favorite loose powder — it’s now. Today I’m sharing my thoughts on Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Setting Powder in the shade Translucent.
Lately, I’ve been reaching for micellar water more often when removing makeup — cleansing oils oddly tend to dry my skin from time to time. Micellar waters, on the other hand, never fail, as long as you choose the right one. I used Eveline products before and decided to return to the brand, opting for the huge 750 ml Eveline Facemed+ 3 in 1 micellar water in its unusual black packaging.

Bad and truly disappointing shampoos rarely appear on my beauty path. But today’s story is exactly about one of them — a sneaky product that started as a top student and ended up ruining my hair. Meet Bioderma Nodé A Soothing Shampoo.
This lip oil–tint is something I reach for almost every day during the warmer months. It’s Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in the shade Happy.
It’s always great when brands offer mini versions of their products — you can try them before committing to a full size. I recently tested the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk for all hair types in its 50 ml travel version and absolutely loved it!
Last spring, when I first saw the promo of the Wet’n’Wild multichrome collection, I immediately knew I had to buy something. I ended up getting three out of four eyeliners — and I don’t regret it.
When it comes to antiperspirants, I usually prefer roll-ons first, then sprays, and sticks last. I’m not a huge fan of sprays because they can be bulky and sometimes have a strong scent. Unfortunately, Rexona Motionsense Invisible on Black & White does have a noticeable smell, but it works as expected.
This winter, I switched to more nourishing hair care products because my hair had become dry, damaged, and prone to breakage. One of the steps in my recovery routine was CHI Argan Oil Conditioner, and it has truly helped my hair regain health and shine.
I truly love shimmery eyeshadows — they work perfectly for everyday makeup and look especially beautiful when the sun hits the lids. During my last trip to Warsaw, I couldn’t resist picking up a new release from the local brand Wibo — the High Flex Foil Eyeshadow in the pink shade 03 Sugar Baby.

Ampoule serums have become very popular lately. Some people see them as closer to medical treatments due to their format, while others consider them more effective because of their super-concentrated formulas and single-use design. I tried Avon Anew Skin Reset “Innovation” with Protinol and honestly, I still feel they are neither.
Glowy makeup is at the peak of popularity right now, and I’m definitely not resisting this trend. Recently, a multifunctional product appeared in my makeup bag — Sephora Care Make It Glow in shade 03 Sunset Shine, which is marketed as a universal product for the face, eyes, and lips.
Cleansing products labeled “3 in 1” became popular back in my childhood — first it was Clearasil, then Avon, and later Garnier Pure Skin Gel-Scrub-Mask appeared when I was already an adult. I only tried it in my 30s, and it turned out to be a great multitasking product that I use occasionally and really enjoy the results.
Lately, Eveline Cosmetics hasn’t really caught my attention — it often feels like there are barely any new launches, and if there are, they all look quite similar. Still, I managed to find something genuinely interesting: the Eveline Viny Love Vinyl Lip Liquid with a glossy finish and a promise of impressive longevity, in shade 03 Bestie (there are 10 shades in the range).
In winter, I prefer cleansing balms or oils to remove makeup, as they feel gentler on the skin than micellar water and nourish my dry skin. My latest purchase was Lumene VALO Nordic-C Pure Glow Cleansing Balm.
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.
