Dry skin can be quite demanding: sometimes a cream feels too heavy, other times it’s just not moisturizing enough. So I’m constantly searching for that perfect balance. And surprisingly I grabbed it during a trip without much thought, and it ended up being a really pleasant surprise.
Before this, I only knew Korres for their facial skincare, but after seeing so many positive reviews about their body care, I decided to give it a try. That’s how this Pure Greek Olive Body Cream in the Olive Fig version ended up in my routine — and even the packaging alone already gives me those soft Provence vibes.
Not long ago, Sheglam products became available in drugstores across Europe. Now you can finally swatch everything in person instead of relying only on online reviews. When I spotted the stand in a nearby store, I tested quite a few products and ended up choosing the Crystal Jelly Glaze Stick in the shade Starlit Silver.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Korean cleansing foams — they’re usually super economical, create a rich lather, and cleanse the skin really well. After loving the blueberry line from Frudia, I decided to try something new and picked the Mango Mochi Cleansing Foam.

I don’t use felt-tip eyeliners very often, but I still keep a few in my makeup bag. Unfortunately, not all of them turn out to be great. The Rimmel Wonder’Ink Eyeliner has several drawbacks that keep it from becoming one of my favorites.
Micellar shampoos have never been very common in my experience — I can only recall a couple of them. So when I was placing an order at Yves Rocher and needed a shampoo, the “micellar” label immediately caught my attention, and I decided to give it a try.
I use hair masks once a week — any more often and my fine, dry hair gets overconditioned too quickly. That’s why I always look for masks that can truly transform my hair, making it smooth, silky, and polished. Unfortunately, La'dor Eco Hydro LPP Treatment didn’t become that perfect match for me.

I’m a big fan of Catrice — in my opinion, it’s one of the best brands in the mass market segment. Since I buy a lot of their products, I occasionally receive gifts with purchase. Recently, after buying several items, I received the Endless Pearls Beautifying Primer as a bonus. Even though it’s quite an old limited edition, I was still very happy to try it.
I don’t buy nail polishes that often anymore — I kind of lost interest in them, so now it really takes something special to catch my eye. But recently, a budget brand at a cosmetics store managed to do just that, and I ended up picking up a metallic shade with the beautiful name Frosted Sky.

I’m already familiar with Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palettes, but I hadn’t tried their lip products before. When I spotted a great discount on a beauty box featuring Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre, I couldn’t resist.
Not all micellar waters are created equal. Even though you can sometimes find real gems in the budget segment, Balea Mizellen Reinigungs Wasser 3in1 Rose sadly wasn’t one of them for me — and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Once again, I fell for the hype and picked up a Japanese haircare duo from the Melty Moist Repair line by & Honey. The adorable honey-inspired bottles and promises of intense hair repair were just too tempting to resist.
Rabanne is mostly associated with fragrances — I’ve owned a few and had very positive experiences. Decorative cosmetics from the brand, however, were new to me. About a year and a half ago, I received a cream eyeshadow in shade 79 Cosmic Rave in an advent calendar.
Recently, Dove launched a new line of full-body deodorants, and honestly, this trend is everywhere now — brands are making products that are safe to use on any area of the body. The range includes sticks, roll-ons, sprays, and creams, and I was instantly drawn to the cream format. I picked the version with lavender and chamomile — and it turned out to be a great choice.

If you are searching for a wide selection of sophisticated styles, Mridiya.com is a destination worth exploring.
Finding the perfect dress for a special occasion can be exciting, but it can also be surprisingly difficult. You want something beautiful, flattering, memorable, and comfortable enough to enjoy the event without constantly worrying about your outfit. This is where Mridiya comes in.
MAC’s famous setting spray now comes in a new format: Fix+ Stay Over Alcohol-Free Long-Lasting Setting Spray. As the name suggests, it’s alcohol-free. I received mine in an Asos advent calendar, so I don’t use it daily, but when I do, it’s very effective.
Recently, Palmolive has become one of my favorite shower brands. Their products are affordable, smell amazing, and actually feel приятные на коже. I tried two gels from the brand, and both left a good impression — though with some nuances.
This year I finally tried a sunscreen in stick format for the first time. I know they were super popular last summer, but I only got around to it now — and I chose the Ma:nyo Hyaluron Hydrating Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++.
The brand Influence Beauty was previously familiar to me only from bloggers’ reviews, but I finally decided to try something myself and chose the Lash Singularity mascara with the promise of infinitely long lashes.
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.
