Inside and Outside

Did you fancy eating some pancakes last week? there were so many reasons to do that so I hope you did. I personally did not despite of what I posted. These photos are leftovers from the not very successful collaboration I had last month. Also did you notice my eye makeup? As I have said before eye makeup is getting bigger for me and I do invest more time and effort into it. It is also surprisingly calming for me, a lot like a coloring book or page. P.S. I do think pancakes with sour cream taste horrible. Don't recommend!   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

Not long ago I've been sent products for a test from Corelle . I do spend a lot of time and effort on my hair because I don't feel like I am blessed with good hair. After trichologist is the doctor I visit the most. I got 3 products by Mellow Touch. And I loved it so much I decided to share my thoughts with you even though I don't really have to. But I just can't be a blogger and not to share the product I seriously LOVED everywhere I can. One of the products is apple vinegar for oily scalp. I absolutely loved it, it worked very nicely on me and targeted the zone I wanted more comfort with. I really enjoyed using as well as prolonged 'fresh' hair time. No wash hair treatment as well as hair treatment you need to wash worked pretty similar on me so I use either one or the other. It's also very handy because using the no-wash option I save about 10 minutes, it might actually be a lot. I made a reel about my way of using the products and it actually was fun to...

While I could have written about Estet Fashion Week (it finished only yesterday) and I know some of my readers are waiting for it, I won't do that. Why? I still have to do some sorting and finish up some things. But I do have a short content and post to share right now. It's actually one more review with Nivea. It's a long and fruitful cooperation and I normally like the product they offer.    This time there were two products that actually match and are supposed to be used one by one. Toner and micellar face wash/makeup remover. I used to have (I used it all up) micellar makeup removing muss and I liked it. This product is alike but I generally think muss form fits better than gel form for me. Both are ok remove might makeup but don't feel like enough if you had a full on makeup. I like using it after pro makeup after regular makeup removing water to clean it all up. It doesn't try the skin too much as well. There is aloe vera in there so it is slightly itchy whe...

In fact I made this photo for Nivea product review. It's called Wonder Bar and it's basically a bar soap. it's actually pretty nice and I like it that it's absolutely natural, vegan and the packaging is recyclable. I liked the charcoal version more because it provides a slight scrubbing effect and charcoal is good for my skin in general. However I'd recommend this product only if your skin is oily. Rose bar is ok but it's really nothing special at all. But the review (which I briefly did anyway) is not the reason I posted this photo. I just wanted to share this photoshoot. I think it turned out perfect! P.S. check out my makeup too, I did my best to make it stand out, at least a little.   Have a nice day, Lyosha  

My partnership with Nivea hasn't stopped and I received a new product lately. It's body lotion with avocado in it. Honestly, I am a huge lover of avocado and I have never seen a product I disliked with avocado in it. This is no different. It moisturizes just fine which is what you need during the colder days. I personally love the scent of this body lotion even though it is strong. It's very fast to absorb too. And I also love my outfit here. It's so cute how matching the greens of my top and cardigan are here! And yes, there are llamas doing yoga printed there. Too cute! Originally the top is supposed to worn with a knot but instead I tucked the ends into my pants criss cross (it will work only it the waistline is not spacey), I think it made it look even cuter. Actually that day I didn't really need the cardigan but I felt a little cold in the morning walking the dogs so I added an extra layer.What do you think? I also wore flip-flops again because I originally ...

I really wanted to make proper post but I am just so slow! I am sure it has something to do with me playing Wizardry 8. Yes, I love old hardcore games and such. Not ashamed really. Also the weather became way less hot and actually perfect for running training. I have big plans on today's training. Excited! That's why I decided to stick to shorter and more simple post. I want to share a beauty review with you. Yes, it's Nivea again, I have to admit that this partnership is very fruitful and useful to me. I was very excited to receive sunscreen before (read the review here ). I use sunscreens all the time so it's a product I need. One more thing I need on daily basis is hand-cream. My palms are easy to get dry and I moisturize all the time. I have stashes of hand cream all around the apartment so I don't have to look for it, just use it.  This little box is 3-in-1 antibacterial hand-cream. It has the Nivea scent. It is closer to lotion which is great for summer. It ...

The weather is fantastic in Moscow. If you don't think about the pandemic it feel fantastic. I do want to spend more time outdoors hanging out my friends, family and dogs, which is actually what I do every day. With good weather here comes the sun and it means I need even more sun protection. I am one of those people who applies SPF every day not even looking for a forecast but when it's summer I re-apply often and generally look for stronger options.  I was very happy to be provided with this SPF 50+ spray by Nivea. It's not sticky, dries fast, don't have strong scent and works fine. I think it's a great daily option for any person. I still go for sport versions when I go on a long walk but this spray got me covered for my daily routine. I like the spray version because it is easy to apply, I frankly dislike spending too much time on putting the cream. The packaging is 95% recyclable (except for pump) which is wonderful for a very affordable product, keeping a gr...

While I still have not finished fashion event post, I still shelf it because I still haven't worked through all the photos. I promise it will be my next post. And so far I want to talk to you about my new latest add into Nivea collection. A set of organic rose face mask, eye patches, mist-toner and deodorant. I absolutely love the scent each product has: it definitely is a rose. Face mask: for me sheet masks are a way of pamper I don't expect it to work wonders. It is soft and easy to apply with lots of products. The nose runs a little too small for me but most of people doesn't have a big nose so it's ok Eye patches. Smells roses, easy to apply, holds pretty firm and have classic shape. Mist-toner. My personal favorite. Rose water is said to be good for skin and I enjoy it a lot in general. Here I can totally feel it working. My skin is oily and it works nicely for me even as stand alone, if you have a dry skin you will probably want to add something else which is ok...

Who feels motivated? Not me! I still going on with procrastination, lack of energy and also excess of sleep. I understand that extremely low temperatures affect me but still. With cold and increased amount of indoor heating I use more creams and generally skin care products. It's a big tip from me, don't wait for your skin to feel and look drier, apply moisturizer before it happens. It is even more important for your hands as it is not only the weather but also increased amount of washing and sanitizer affect your hand skin.  I decided to share a product review with my partner Nivea. Handcream is probably my favorite of all Nivea products in general. It is affordable, easy to access and it works. I love it that it smells less intense as other Nivea products usually. This particular hand cream was new to me, I haven't used it before. There was some aloe in it and I was super happy to receive it. Aloe is probably the best component for hand cream during winter for me. And t...

  Did you ever have this moment? You walk into the shop and you see the item and.. you see this item only, everything else is blank and the next moment you are buying it. That is exactly what happened to me. I love this sweater so much! It's so cute! I love the bright and vibrant blue color and absolutely ridiculous and uber cute dog (they say it's a dog) or at least someone canine. I think I will wear this sweater all the time mixing it with Christmas alpaca sweater and fox sweater from the same brand. I also wear classic winter patterns as well but it's not fun enough at least to me. Also I think bright blue looks wonderful with white snow, don't you think? I originally took these photo for instagram Nivea review. I don't plan on turning this post into full term review but I can say this xxl face wash edition is pretty nice. I use face wash very often (I wash my face after every walk outside and especially after visiting public place because of you-know-what thr...
