Hi everyone, I'm Anastasia ♡
I'm a big fan of cosmetic products and self-care for a long time. I'm convinced that competent and systematic home skin care is the foundation for maintaining skin beauty and health. Visits to a professional cosmetologist are certainly very important. But in my opinion everyday self-care that is the foundation of success.
Ever since care and makeup became a part of my life, I always carefully analyze product formulations, customer reviews and beauty experts' comments, and, of course, try products and evaluate the results on myself.
I decided to share with you a list of my favorite beauty products in care and decorative cosmetics, which, in my opinion, deserve attention and, indeed, will be an investment, not a waste. The result of my passion and love of "beautiful bottles" is this site, which I did with the great hope that it'll be a useful tool for each visitor. The guide will be updated as I find something worthy.
It's important to realize that I'm not a cosmetologist or makeup artist, and I'm not promoting products from cosmetic brands. I'm simply sharing my experience with you and I really hope you find it useful. Do not forget to take into account the specifics of your skin and consult with a cosmetologist, if necessary. Try new products, find your favorites, be beautiful and forever young!
I look forward to your feedback and the breathtaking results of your grooming and decorating decisions)

I am absolutely convinced that cleansing is the most important stage of taking care of yourself and your skin, and it's the right way to preserve and prolong its beauty and health. Besides, quality cleansing is possible at home and doesn't require any extraordinary actions and costs (but it's not exact)), the main thing is the system.
In the evening it's especially important to wash off all the effects of the environment, cosmetics, cleanse the pores and prepare the skin for further stages of self care.

In the evening it's especially important to wash off all the effects of the environment, cosmetics, cleanse the pores and prepare the skin for further stages of self care.
My evening:
- with a cotton disk moistened with micellar water I wipe my entire face. If there is a persistent eye makeup - I use two-phase (I leave the cotton pad for a minute, while the cosmetics dissolve - do not rub the skin);
- then - cleansing oil/cleansing balm, because only these products can fully dissolve grease, dirt, sunscreen and the most persistent makeup;
- after I use a wash gel to remove any residual cleansing oil. In this way, the skin will be maximally cleansed of all excess and will be ready to absorb the beneficial substances that we'll give it the application of the next stages of care.
My morning:
- I prefer to use an enzyme powder or foam for washing - it's necessary to wash off the remnants of night products and excess sebum.
Many people neglect the skin toning stage, but it is essential.
Toner completes the skin cleansing stage, stimulates skin renewal, soothes, softens, reduces inflammation. Toners/toners/mists can also have antiseptic properties, shrink pores, etc. You need to find a product that suits your specific needs. Toning eliminates the feeling of skin tightness after washing, and what is very important - normalizes the acid-alkaline balance.
Personally, at this stage of my life I prefer the mist format, and the less cotton pads in my life, the better, although I prefer to apply toners with my hands, plus - this way the product is used more economically. I like to use toners in the colder months, when I want something thicker).

Probably serums/serums/essences are my favorite product in skincare.
The use of different kinds of actives depends on the specific request: acne, pigmentation, dehydration, wrinkles, etc.
Serum is high concentration of active ingredients, light texture and multi-tasking.
And its value is immense. It should be applied on cleansed face skin and covered with cream (in some cases it is not necessary).
There are a huge variety of serums available. Depending on what tasks need to be solved, you can choose different types of face serum - moisturizing, rejuvenating, nourishing, brightening, etc. The only thing left to do is to define these tasks and choose what you need.

It's important not to forget:
- some actives are not compatible with each other;
- what is suitable only for the evening routine and what is suitable for the morning routine;
- the neck and décolletage area also needs actives;
- proceed from the skin type and choose the right concentration of actives;
- separate acids, retinol and recovery. In this respect, I am very close to the skin-sculpting system. It is an evening care system based on a cyclical approach: 2 days of active ingredients are used, another 2 days of moisturizing and repairing, and then the cycle repeats. Depending on your personal needs, the number of days can vary
Well, finally, we have come to the final stage of our routine..)
I will say just a few words about it:
To "fix" and close all our assets - we need a cream. It reinforces the effect of essence/serum/serum and also has additional effects: moisturizes, nourishes, smoothes wrinkles, soothes irritated skin, reduces inflammation and does other amazing things). And don't forget the eye cream!

I love masks! I try a lot of different ones, but the ones you'll see on the list have a definite place in my heart. I didn't include sheet face masks in my favorites, as I try a lot of them on a regular basis, and I can't say that any of them shocked me. Yes, instant results, especially with guasha, are assured, but nothing more.
I'm sure that additional care in the form of exfoliation (of course, moderate), masks (sheet, alginate, flushable, etc.) is a great way to spend your time and take care of your skin.
I consistently give myself a spa ritual once a week:

I consistently give myself a spa ritual once a week:
- Sarah Chapman's Steamer (I'll talk about it further in the "gadgets" category);
- a scrub or exfoliating scrub;
- a cleansing mask (if we're talking about clay masks, it's important to remember to keep them on your face for no more than 7-10 minutes, avoiding complete drying, as clay dehydrates and tightens the skin. I usually spray thermal water on my face during the process);
- revitalizing and moisturizing mask
The skin of the body just like the skin of the face needs our attention - up to the heels, care and proper selection of care products.
It is very important to exfoliate the skin - once a week will be enough, and moisturize and nourish it properly.
You also need to take into account the time of year. If there is a harsh winter outside, time of heating season - you need very nourishing, protective creams that help prevent moisture loss and preserve the barrier function of the skin. In summer, lighter textures are suitable, also do not forget about SPF.
I will not talk about quality sleep, healthy diet, maintaining water balance in the body, since we are focusing on cosmetics)

Timely and proper sun protection is one of the most important steps in skin care. In addition, you need to protect your skin from the sun all year round (winter too!) and whether the sun is shining outside the window or not.
The SPF factor should be high. I always apply SPF50 on my face, and I suggest you do the same. You need to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. There is a "rule of 2 fingers", you squeeze the product on your index and middle finger, this amount of cream should be enough for your face and neck.

- Apply protection 15-20 before leaving the house;
- renew every 2 hours (for convenience, you can use a stick or mist format);
- be sure to cleanse the skin of SPF - only cleansing oil can do this
Everyone dreams of beautiful hair, and it's no surprise, because "alive", well-cared for and healthy hair is one of the most important components of an eye-catching image.
My hair is naturally thick, wavy and porous, and sometimes it's hard to manage. I've been doing balayage (a technique of bleaching individual strands to create a soft gradation of color) for a while now.
What is the right treatment for me:
I don't include shampoos and rinseable conditioners in my selection because I can't say that I've experienced any crazy enthusiasm from anything from this category. Besides, all hair is different, and I think everyone understands what exactly suits him. The main task of the shampoo is to cleanse the scalp of everything unnecessary: dead cells, excess sebum, residues of styling products. The mission of the conditioner is to close the hair cuticle, and it is important not to forget to use it after masks.

- gentle hairstyling with a minimum of styling products.

I love various beauty gadgets. I don't have a lot of them in my personal arsenal, but I plan to add to this list from time to time)

I decided to add a "disappointments" section to warn you against possibly useless purchases. Of course, everything is individual, and it's quite possible that these products will work for you, or you're already excited about them. But either way, the information can be helpful.
This list will most likely not include products that have made a neutral or mediocre impression on me, most likely I don't even remember them anymore) And will include those that have made a sharply negative: bad ingredients, negative effects or a complete mismatch of quality to the stated price of the product.
I hope this list will be replenished extremely slowly) and as I remember something terrible)
