Drugstore foundation: do I have any problems with my skin or how hard to find a good foundation.

I'm this kind of girl who won't spend a tone of money on make up. But anyway, I like make up. So today I'd like to tell you about a foundation problem. I was trying to find a good new foundation for about 3 years, I guess. The first foundation I've ever tried was Maybelline Affinitone and it was great. Then I bought another pack of the same foundation, but it wasn't good. I decided to find smth new. Here're my last attempts(which I don't know why decided to save):

1. Maxfactor Smooth Effect in shade #55 Buff Beige

2. L'Oreal Alliance Perfect in shade #R3-C3 Rose Beige

3. Rimmel Stay Matte in shade #100 Ivory

4. Garnier BB Cream in shade "Light"

5. Maybelline BB Cream in shade "Light"

1. Maxfactor's foundation is old(I bought it without checking the date), so it's dry, looks and feels terrible on my skin, although the shade is pretty good for my complection. Unfortunately, no.

2. L'oreal's foundation is the best that I have right now. I heard about it on youtube and the girl said that it's pretty close to Bobbi Brown's one, so I went straight to the shop and bought it. I don't know if it's really close to Boobi Brown's one, but it works for me very well. Definitely yes.

3. Rimmel's foundation was good for some time, but then I didn't use any foundation for a month and when I tried this one on my face it looked aweful. I don't know what's happened to my skin, but it became dry, I had even some redness after applying it. After that I haven't use any of Rimmel's products for some time, but now I like this brand. But for foundations, no.

4-5. I definitely don't understand people who love BB creams. Or I have a weird type of skin that doesn't like such things, but I don't see any difference between when I apply BB creams and when I have nothing on my face. I tried these two several times, thinking that something can change, but no. It doesn't work for me. No.

I hope it can be useful for someone. Also, I'm always open for any suggestions :)

Have a good day :)

DIY Personalized Cups

Happy Internetional Women's Day!

I hope you, girls, have a great time! Who run the world? Girls! Beyoncé is cool, right?

And today I'm gonna try to do my first DIY ever.

Because of the holiday and money problem I decided to do some kind of "hand made" presents for my friends. Actually, you can find a lot of diffrent videos about that project, but I'm gonna do my own anyway.

 What you need:

- cups

- markers

- clear alcohol

- cotton disks

1. First you need to wash your cups and clear off all the stickers.

2. Then you clear you cup with a cotton disk with alcohol and write everything you want.

That't what I have done :)

This one is my favorite :) Want to do one for myself...

3. Preheat your oven(180 C) and place your cups for 30 mins.

4. After 30 mins, cool your oven with the cups inside. It's very important. I opened oven's door to make it faster.

5. You're done. One thing: if you use coloured markers like I did, be ready that they'll change their colours.

I hope it will be usefull for someone :)

Have a good day, ciao!

February favorites

Today is the 28th of February. Tomorrow is going to be spring! Finally! How I'm sick of this weather, it's terrible right now... But lets talk about better thing.

Let's start with some beauty favorites(I'm a girl, right?).

The first, it's a Nail Polish Remover by Essence. It's my second bottle of this and I absolutly like it. It doesn't hurt your nails, it removes very well and it's cheap. Can you wish anything more?:)

The second, it's a nail polish by Catherine Arley in colour 927. I have this for more then tree years and I loved it only now. In this moment I thonk it's the perfect colour for early spring. And it stays so long! I haven't changed my nails for a week and they are still pretty good. It's amazing.

The third, it's an eye-brow pencil by Catrice in shade 020 Date Ash-ton. Oh my God. This thing is a miracle! It makes my morning make-up routine much easier. It has a wonderful shade, it has a brush and it's so easy to apply. Love it.

Now let's talk about non-beauty favorites.

This thing makes my life much easier. I write smth down all the time and I can see what I should do during the day. It's awesome. You can find it on ebay.

Talking about movies... I wasn't lucky this month. I've watched about 4-5 movies and I don't like any of them.

Music time. Have you already checked out Nina Nesbitt's debut album "Peroxide"? Go and check it right now! If you did, write in the comments what you thing about it:) I listen to it almost all the time :)

(some of my favorite)

And in the end, I want to say about the 14th of February. I don't celebrate Valentine's day but I'm happy this day anyway because my favorite cat has a birthday! Nessie(it's her name and I didn't know about Nina when we bought her :) is 3 now. Pretty little but I love her sooooo much. And she is the most loveble cat in the world :)

That's pretty much everything about this month. Looking forward for something new this spring :)

Winter fun or wasted vacation

So, my winter holidays have ended. It's time to study and work hard. And now I want to go back for a second and thing what I've done.

Actually, I did very few things... I lay on my bed, spent tons of time on youtube, worked a little, ate a lot... But the best thing was skating. I don't know why this winter I hadn't skated before this vacation but I'm so happy that I did. I love skating even though I can't do it well... And I've found a great skating place in Moscow. Hope to go there few more times this winter. And there weren't many people, that's great :)

I hate my iPhone when it's cold >.< It turns off and writes that the battery is dead! But that's a lie! I have battery! What does it do to me?;_; I can't find an answer...

I don't know about you but I always promise myself to study during vacations anf guess what? I have never done this and this vacation isn't an exeption.

So right now I'm in my bed, in an hour I hope I will sleep because tomorrow is a big day. I don't want it and want it in the same time. I believe that this time I will study hard to make my biggest dream come true. Now I know that it's possible and the only thing I need to do right now it's studing. So wish me good luck;)

Just sayin, ciao!

A day with myself

Today I've spent a whole day with myself at home. It's almost the end of my winter vacation so I wanted to have a relaxing day and I was a little tired after three or four days in a row somewhere not at home doing something very active(it was pleasant actually but I was really tired).

So, today I decided to treat myself a little. 

I started my day with a very tasty breakfast with omlet and bread with Nutella.

I watched some episodes of "Friends"(absolutly in love with it).

I did a workout and I feel soooo much better.

I finally made my manicure.

Again started my diary. I always forget about it but maybe this time I will do it:)

Took a bath(what I do really really rarely) with foam from Lush(I wrote about it and I'm absolutly in love with it) watchin "Oran High School Host Club"(the only anime I love).
Made a hair mask(always forget to do it weekly).

I applied my favorite body cream by Planeta Organica, made a face mask by The Organic Shop and some more skin care routine.

To sum it up I want to say: I wish I could have such days more often but my study is coming and I won't have time for all those things... Unfortunately...

Just sayin, ciao!

I did it again or Cooking time

 Okey, I did it again, I forgot about blog. It always happens so there's no wonder. But I'm back with one more maybe even useless post :)

I lika baking so I tried one recipe by Tanya Burr and Zoella. If you don't know them check out their channels on youtube:

And this thing is amazing! It's a lemon drizzle cake(here's the link). Well, I put too much lemon but it was great anyway. So I highly recommend you to try this)

P.S. I have no idea why it has such shape:)

Just sayin, ciao!
