Can you tell me whats your problem? Yes, I’m talking to you my dear skin! Seriously, I don’t know if it is due to the big changes I’ve been through last days (moving from another country), weather changes or having little bit more stress then usual but my skin is in horrible condition at the minute. It’s pretty dry with lots of blemishes and clogged pores, darker circles under my eyes and overall looks a bit lifeless. So I was thinking what if I did some skin care series this week! First task – let’s get rid of all those blemishes!

Removing make-up and skin cleansing is essential. Some girls complain about their problematic skin but when I hear how they take care of it – they simply ask for it. I can’t imagine going to bed with my make-up on, it’s basically the first thing I do after I come home in the evening. But there are moments I don’t want to spend half an hour in the bathroom and use 100 different products so find something which cleans my skin in an instant and leaves it nicely moisturized is a dreamy affair. And if one adds to this absolute minimum price, the dream product is born!

The older I get the more I have the tendency to shorten my hair.  It’s pretty weird because as younger I always wanted long locks, for me it was kind of symbol of femininity. I guess I matured and don’t need to prove my femininity with long hair (which will simply never grow as long), I feel good about what nature gave me and come back to my original color. I’ve never suffered about my appearance and low self-confidence but one still compares with someone, wants better this and that… I feel like this era has passed and I’m starting to like the way I am. And you know what, this is the easiest way how to be charming and sexy for the others. 

Concealers. One of the things which can do miracles. One of the things every women should have in their make-up army. One of the things which can pretend daily 8-hour sleep. There are so many different types and textures on the market so everyone can find that perfect weapon. Let’s take a look what really works for me. The great thing about my picks is – they are all budget friendly so there is no need for declaring personal bankruptcy.

Does it also happen to you that you buy something without any expectation and you are pleasantly surprised? That is exactly how I felt ofter trying KIKO Cosmetics. According to many reviews and youtube beauty gurus they have few really good pieces but I’ve burned myself couple of times with cheap cosmetics brands and do believe if I want quality I have to pay for it. So when they opened a new store in our town (in Switzerland) I walked in with not too keen interest. And I was hooked! The store looked really professional, prices were absolutely ridiculous for Switzerland and sales consultant were very friendly. If I wrote about all the products I bought during the two weeks since they opened the KIKO store, it would be a very long article, so today I will start with things which took a root in my cosmetic bag immediately.

I just don’t feel completed without my nails done. To be honest I feel way better without make-up than nail polish. I believe in first impressions and hands can say a lot about us. It would seem just like a small detail but everything is about details, isn’t it? Plus I really enjoy the whole process of painting my nails. Watching some youtube documentary videos and doing manicure is really calming for me (and I don’t have to mention how gorgeous excuse is it to do nothing for about an hour…). My manicure doesn’t last a long time on me (we don’t have a dishwasher so I guess thats one of the reasons) but these steps help me to extend this time to the maximum which is about 4 days in my case. Let’s take a look at it!
