What can you spend a couple of thousand rubles on - buy one luxury lipstick or a whole package of various makeup and skin care products for the face and body? When the second option is better and how to budget and profitably spend half an hour in a cosmetics store - says the author of the blog makeupmania.ru Olga Smirnova.
For face
For high-quality and affordable facial care, visit the boutiques of the Yves Rocher herbal cosmetics brand. The composition contains many natural ingredients, many of which are grown in Russia and are quite familiar to our skin. Among the latest interesting innovations is the Pure Calmille cleansing range with organic chamomile extract from La Gasilla. The composition does not contain parabens, dyes, mineral oils, and prices for this range start at 320 rubles.
My choice is Pure Calmille day and evening moisturizer, 30 ml, 430 rubles.
For change, be sure to take the Brazilian Coffee shower cream - it costs 99 rubles.
Korean cosmetics excites the minds of beauticians and their wallets a little. Surprisingly, many Korean brands with original compositions, masterly designs, functions, fragrances and even colors are an order of magnitude lower than European brands. This should be used before it's too late.
Alginate masks are inexpensive and very beneficial for the skin, sold in packs for one application. The average price of a face mask is 200-300 rubles for half an hour of bliss and a noticeable result. The skin after them is fresh, clean and hydrated. Choose alginate Asian masks - collagen Collagen Modeling Mask, intensely moisturizing Hyaluronic Acid Modeling Mask La Miso (240 rubles), modeling the face contour Propolis Modeling Cup Pack Inoface (160 rubles), for combination skin - Cup Modeling Mask Pack (Red) Anskin (399 rubles), to control sebum production, nutrition and skin cleansing Charcoal Ettang (289 rubles).
Another, less costly to apply, but equally effective way to restore freshness and radiance to the skin in a short time and for little money is with fabric masks. Prices for Korean, European and even Russian fabric masks start at 100 rubles. I like Jelly Mask Revitalizing I'm Sorry For My Skin (296 rubles), for deep hydration Pure Essence Mask Sheet Avocado Holika-Holika (95 rubles), rejuvenating with snail extract Visible Difference Mask Sheet Snail Farmstay (50 rubles), I ' m Real Aloe Mask Sheet Tony Moly (105 rubles).
For body
Shower gels and body lotions can be easily found in the price range up to 500 rubles in any cosmetics store. Another tool you can live without is body scrubs. They tend to have a creamy or oily texture and luxurious aromas. Coffee, chocolate, strawberries with cream, pralines, vanilla, berry smoothies - the manufacturer deliberately made them so sweet to overshadow the not always gentle skin exfoliation process. Look for the most delicious and inexpensive body scrubs in the assortment of Organic Shop, Tasha, Natura Siberica, Garnier. I like Organic Shop with peony aroma Organic Kitchen Cleansing Body Scrub (99 rubles), Mango Mousse Tasha (320 rubles), Natura Siberica sea buckthorn honey scrub (300 rubles), precious Garnier beauty scrub (430 rubles).
Another inexpensive fun for body and mind is Lush's signature bath bombs. The price is from 320 rubles, there are definitely no indifferent people. For example, a novelty in the shape of a heart "Seven Roses", relevant to Valentine's Day.
The bomb contains a mixture of violet root powder, rose absolute, Sicilian lemon oil, geranium and jasmine.
For hands
The most relevant purchase in the cold season is hand cream. For a time-tested remedy and the most severe frosts, we advise you to look at the pharmacy. Here you can buy Neutrogena hand cream, the price is up to 300 rubles.
It is presented in two versions - with and without a smell. A tube of 50 ml is enough for the whole winter, the cream deeply nourishes the skin, heals microcracks and eliminates peeling.
Makeup
Not a single article can be written about budget cult decorative cosmetics. From the last surprising: The Falsies Angel Maybelline mascara with a brush in the shape of an angel's wing, which creates an incredible volume - even luxury brands will envy him, and the price of such a find is up to 500 rubles.
Yves Rocher has updated the Coulers Nature line of eyebrow pencils: now they are automatic and double-sided with a brush. It seems that there is no surprise in the segment of eyebrow pencils, but it is Yves Rocher that has the most ashy shade of all ashy - you need 01 for blondes. Price - 500 rubles.
Dreams come true, otherwise how else to call the beauty collaboration L'Oreal Balmain, which resulted in a collection of lipsticks for 440 rubles. Along with the still extravagant shades, there are classic pink, peach lipsticks, all in a stylish case.
