Birthday Post 2015

Hi!
So, this week I had my last state exam(and I’m so happy that I’ve passed it! I also had the best answer with 98 points out of 100), and also I had a birthday the 22nd of June :) I’m 21 now and it seems crazy for me… And so I want to talk through my day as I want to save it somewhere.

So I started my “day” at 2a.m. with a bath :) I just put all my favourite bath product to treat myself. So I had a bath with my favourite Lush bomb of all time, Twilight, also some Soak Opera by Zoella and I also have some heart-shaped oil with some herbs. And it was good but I just think that my body isn’t made for baths, something’s wrong with my blood pressure and I had a terrible headache and felt very dizzy… But at least my skin really appreciated that :)
Then, I actually had two birthday cakes, one we bought with my mum to celebrate my bday with the family, and the second one was brought to me from my boyfriends, his mother’s friend is a baker :)
Well, my cat is a very important part of my life, so I can’t stop myself from posting at least one photo of my beauty :)
Then, my two long-term friends showed up(I hadn’t seen them for a very long time) and of course my boyfriend and we had some fun with my camera(CRAZY PHOTOS ALERT!) :)
And from my presents I want to mention only this amazing thing(my parents gave me a golden bracelet but I didn’t take a photo of it as I always remember about it only at night and the lighting in my apartment isn’t great). I love cotton candy so I got a mini cotton candy machine! Now my sweet tooth will be absolutely happy :)
Even though the very end of my day was spoiled  and I felt really depressed I’m still very grateful for having some amazing people in my life who don’t forget about me even if we don’t see each other for a long time, who care about me at least a little bit.

That’s all from me!
Hope you’re having a great summer no matter what you’re doing :)
Ciao!

Spring Empties 2015

Hi!
I feel like I regularly post only photos and empties and that's weird.. I never notice 3 months as I'm saving empties to talk about and I end up feeling that I write only about them.. Well, deal with it :)
Plus it took me sooooo long to write this post as I'm graduating from the University this year so I'm having some state exams right now and I need to prepare for them, so I'm sorry for not posting anything for a while(even though I know that nobody reads me :))

I'll start with hair empties as I have a lot of them this time.
1. Garnier Frictis Miraculous Oil. I like using oils on my hair in general and this one is nice. But I can't say that I was that impressed. I personally still like Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Oil Elixir the most(I talked about it here). Maybe that's just me who's waiting for a real magic with my terrible hair, but this oil didn't make much difference.
2. Gliss Kurr BB 11 in 1 Beauty Balm. For some reason I couldn't find how it's called in English, only in German... Weird. Still, I really liked this one and need to repurchase it as it works really nice. Not as it's magical or anything, but the result is very nice. My hair is much softer with it. But the thing is that you literaly have to use it every day. I used it only when I washed my hair, every other day as I have super oily scull, but I didn't apply it on the second day and maybe that's why the result didn't lost for that long. But I like it.
3. Garnier Fructis Goodbye Damage Shampoo(in Russian it's called something like SOS Repair). It's such a big bottle! It took me so long to use it up. In my previous empties post I talked about the conditioner from this range. And as the conditioner, I liked the shampoo. Right now I'm using another range but I still like this one and I'm thinking about getting back to this particular range. It works really good at repairing hair after dyeing it or anything else.
4. Garnier Fructis Full&Plush Conditioner. Is that weird that I used up 3 bottles? Well, I guess it means something :) I really like this range, especially the scent of it. It's sooooo good. I'm in love with it! Plus my hair feels really good afterwards. And I have a dilemma if I should go back to Goodbye Damage range or still use this one or try something else...
5. Syoss Volume Lift Dry Shampoo. This is the first dry shampoo I've noticed in Moscow. Before it I used a homemade version(corn starch+cocoa powder). But this one makes it so much easier to keep my hair fresh on the second day! It works really well on my hair. I prefer to apply it before I go to bed before the second day after the wash so it has some time to start working. I like it and I'm on my second one :)
6. Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo. I heard so many good reviews on this product. It seems like the whole youtube loves it. But maybe it's something wrong with my hair or the product in Russia in particular but it doesn't work. I didn't like it at all. The scent is annoying, it leaves some greasy feeling on scull... So disappointed.

Skin care.
1. Rexona Invisible Pure. I'm looking for a good invisible deodorant as I wear a lot of dark colours but still unsuccessfully. At the beginning this one worked well and I even thought that it was the one. But after some time it stopped being effective. I always use a deodorant for some time before I try to put on my favourite lucky dress which is very fitting and in navy blue as I don't want to spoil it with some stains which sometimes stay on fabric. And this one failed the test.
2. Yves Rocher Shower Cream Mango Passion Fruit Limited Edition. This shower cream I got almost two years ago as a gift on one French event. And I love it so much that I didn't want to use it up so quickly. The scent is amazing, it's very fresh and nice... Oooohhh.. I will miss it... And the formula is really nice as well, the skin feels great afterwards. I really hope that they will bring it back in stock...
3. Nivea Mattifying Day Cream. I love this cream and I'm already using the second pot. I have combination skin and recently it became much oilier than it used to be and it annoys me a lot as I had to change my make up routine to look less shiny. This is the first step I take in the morning to have a non-shiny face :) Plus it smells pretty nice. The consistence is a little bit like something in-between cream and gel it feels really good on my skin. So I highly recommend it.
4. Nivea Pure&Natural Regenerating Night Cream. I can't say I was that obsessed with it. It is nice, feels good, smells nice.. Just like the most of night creams I've used up before. So I can't say much. Just nice. Just good. Just like the most of the Nivea's products.

1. Lush Cosmetic Warrior Mask Simple. I talked about it in this post. If you want to read about it, I found on a UK site here. I liked it a lot, The skin feels really soft and so clean after it. I used it up quite a while ago so I can't actually remember if I saw any crazy changes but I'm thinking about buying a full size after I get my first salary on a new job(it'll happen not as soon as I want it..) or maybe I'll buy it for my birthday... Anyway, I really want to buy a full one to clean my skin :)
2. Revlon Colorstay Concealer in shade 02 Light. I really wanted to try this one for a long time but I was disappointed.. Maybe just because I expected too much. It's a light coverage and I need a medium one so it didn't suit my purposes. Plus it ended pretty quickly. It's more like a brightener or something like this more that a concealer. If you're looking for a light coverage, it might work for you.
3. L'Oreal Super Liner Ultra Precision in Black. I actually made a review on it here if  you're insterested in my full opinion because I don't want to write much here. My opinion on this product didn't change at all :)
And as a separate product(because I used it up much later that I took all those photos and I'm way too lazy right now and don't have much time to take a photo of it so that's why you have a picture from the internet). It's Garnier Micellar Water. I had a big bottle like on this picture, 400ml, and it lasted for a very long time! I like it a lot, much better that the most of makeup removers I've ever tried. It's simple to use, it doesn't leave any bad feelings on my skin and takes of the makeup very well. So I recommend you to try it out as it's not expensive at all :)

That's all from me!
Hope you're having a great summer :)
Ciao!

Photo Post#27: The Victory Park: Part II

Hi!
So this is the second part of my walk in The Victory Park. We also went to some kind of exhibition of navy and other military hardware/equipment. We also saw a monument of a dog on a war.


That's all for today!
Hope you're having a great summer :)
Ciao!

Photo Post#26: The 31st of May: The Victory Park: Part I

Hi!
And again photo post :) On sunday my friend and I went to The Victiry Park here, in Moscow. I hadn't been there for at least 10 years and hardly remembered anything so we decided to refresh my memory :) Honestly, I remembered only couple things as it has been changed a lot during the last years. Still it was very nice just to wander around :)

 This monument is about people who died during The Great Patriotic War. The things behind these statues are their shoes, toys, clothes.. It's really powerfull, I believe. I felt some sympathy and proud because our ancestory lived through that terrible war.
 And some flowers to remind everyone that the summer has finally arrived :)

That's all for now.
Hope you're enjoying your summer :)
Ciao!
