Uff ... How many don’t go around, but the blog will not write itself. After the general ones, I present to you my traditional beauty digest for 2016, where I talk about the best of the best cosmetics.

I start with the make-up discoveries of this year. The year 2016 passed under the slogan: "More than a heavy luxury in every cosmetic bag."

What I can immediately note, I finally ate “makeup” and began to understand much better what to expect from a particular cosmetic product even before it was purchased. Now I don’t want to try everything indiscriminately and drag every shiny box into the house, especially if it is nail polish or lipstick. In my opinion, this is a big progress, first of all, for my wallet.

This moment was supposed to come at a time when quantity would turn into quality. And this has both pros and cons. The “pluses” are that I hope to eventually come to some optimal minimum of the best of the best tools in my cosmetic bag. In scientific terms, compose a matrix.
In fact, why do I need a wagon of cosmetics, which I do not even physically manage to use or forget about its existence immediately after purchase? The cabinets full of cosmetics to the point of failure began to annoy me something more than please.

This does not mean at all that there will be one in my “perfect cosmetic bag” foundation, a palette of shadows and two lipsticks - "for every day" and "exit". Not at all. That is the magic of decorative cosmetics, that the nuances of shades and textures can significantly transform the appearance and self-awareness. And I do not intend to refuse this magic of my own free will.

I still believe that a new lipstick or nail polish every season is not pampering at all, but another one of the opportunities to feel the time in which you live. To be in trend, so to speak. What is no less important than being familiar with the work of modern writers or artists.
And lipstick, like no other cosmetics, allows you to know yourself. Something about this and about the principles of making up a fondant wardrobe, I’ll surely write an article, it seems this topic is not too captured.

The “minuses” in my current desire for cosmetic austerity, primarily, in the fact that having the opportunity to choose the “best of the best”, I will not want to reach for the suite, which at the moment, 90 percent of all my cosmetic lockers.
It only seems to a completely uninitiated person that “there is no difference except the brand and the price” when you try this and that, you understand that the difference is often a huge abyss (although mass market cosmetics have recently witnessed a tremendous progression that cannot be overlooked )

Nevertheless, beauty blogging often outgrows cosmetic snobbery (I can see this not only by myself) when you look at a jar and do not want to notice anything besides cheap plastic and a banal hue. But for beauty blogging, such snobbery is not the best assistant. Still, L’Oreal and Maybelline cosmetics are used most often, which means that readers with an economy or middle class cosmetics blog should have an order of magnitude more. While I'm thinking about this fact and the fact that I can put up with my total luxury or to build an audience, I still try to “expand” my cosmetic horizons in the direction of more affordable means for most people.

I don’t know what my thoughts will turn into, but for now I’m telling you how things are at the moment.

The best decorative cosmetics for face makeup

This year I decided to try several iconic products from face makeup on my own face.

This and everyone knows gerlen metorites with a star of last year's Christmas - with asterisks (by the effort of will I still manage to control myself, limiting myself to two banks of these wonderful balls - this and the “dragons” from Christmas seem to be 2012).

With eyebrows but everything is quite ascetic and modest. The main thing is mine Eye Designer with Dior Eyebrow Cream Eye Shadow for several years he has not thought in any way ends (that is, believe it is good), but anyway, for her for the company I bought the Dior powder pencil of the same name (because there was a favorable price and I could not resist). Well, for styling my eyebrows I use Brow Drama by Maybelline - a very cool thing, I like no less than Benefit.

AND mascara - In general, probably the only category of cosmetics that I hardly buy now. I now regularly receive miniatures and even whole full-size mascaras in; almost every box has mascara. This year I fell in love with Lash Sensational Maybelline, MUFE and the re-release of DiorSHOW, too, is nothing to myself.
It’s a pity, for some reason they don’t put colored carcasses in beauty boxes. Then my leader was pre-Christmas mascara Chanel rouge noir, almost all of this year we were happily friends with her, I don’t even understand how I managed to use the numerous miniatures and other carcasses from the boxes, so, offhand, it seems that I was the one Chanel all the time and painted.

And also my beauty discovery this year were the base under the mascara, I would never have thought that I would start using them, because I always forget about makeup bases or lip bases, although I have them available. I’ll definitely start talking about all my blog bases; this turned out to be an unexpected thing, although not entirely unambiguous.

Lipstick and the best decorative cosmetics for lip makeup

My lip is not a fool, so among my fondant favorites you will not find anything cheap and mass-market. Although, no, I'm lying. Well, you see two tubes in the foreground, I would hardly have bought them myself, but thanks to the beauty boxes I have them available and, moreover, in my beauty rating. And they, quite a budget category, although not the cheapest, alas, the dollar did not spare anyone.

The first is lip oil Gosh 002 Sea Buckthorn, changed my mind regarding this cosmetic category. After Clarins lip oil, I was already convinced that lip oil is just a transparent lip gloss, for which marketers came up with a new product category. But oil from Gosh, although also not too similar to oil, but I like it the most, unexpectedly and irrevocably. He was especially fond of some kind of unidentified, but very familiar aroma, some kind of candy taste of childhood. And for that I love this oil doubly.

AND plamper Letual comes here in unexpected discoveries of the year. Firstly, for some reason, I underestimated the power of the plammers (now I want Dior Maximizer 8), and secondly, in this cosmetic snobbery I always walked a stand with cosmetics Létoile for a kilometer, but it turned out to be pretty good, well, or their plamper is good because until our acquaintance with the brand moved further than this plumper.

In my fondant tendencies of 2016, I can outline several main trends - the color of fuchsia or plum, a semi-gloss finish and ... Dior!

In general, I do not get tired of praising, especially I liked from this line. Even after the cool and quite good Bourjois liquid matte lipsticks (minus their disgusting smell), I still think that Dior has the best lipsticks in this class at the moment, and for my lips. Shades, texture, behavior - everything is on top!

And a very cool thing, which is actually blush, but I have been wearing it for several months as a weightless lipstick - blush from the autumn collection of Mac Strike - Mac Blind Score I recently showed them when I was talking about from the same collection.

Well, my acquaintance this year turned out to be quite successful, and I suppose it will necessarily result in something more.

Best nail polishes

All varnishes visit us! Despite the fact that for almost half a year my nails were broken off under the “very spine” and I couldn’t repair them in any way, I nevertheless bought up luxury varnishes with manic persistence, especially I “walked” through the spring collection Dior (ahem) by buying them all except pink. And varnish even won for a short while my love of blue varnishes.

And then I fly Chanel I thoroughly “walked” with his enchanting green and “delicious” chocolate Cavalierewell, and golden 532 canotierwould also be taken for a “snack”.

Autumn passed with less financial loss and I was able to limit myself to blueberry varnish Dior opening night and jelly red, which I’m ready to hang on my neck like a medallion, it’s so beautiful! And from this Christmas, I have so far acquired only one matte 542 Pink Rubber.

well and varnish of the year, of course, it becomes from the spring collection, at least in terms of the number of enthusiasms on the Internet and the complexity of its “extraction”, which overshadowed all the other limited handsome men in my collection.

And it was a pity the most unusual varnish of the year, I chose not the most popular shade in my 010 Apri-Coat shade.

The best perfumes of the year

Professionals often talk about the amazing miraculous properties that the cosmetic products used by them in the face possess. The fact that salon products are fundamentally different from those sold in ordinary stores will be discussed in this article.

Professional and conventional cosmetics: what are the differences?

Professional facial cosmetics differs from usual in the following indicators:

1. The degree of efficiency of use.
2. Regularity of use.
3. Certification
4. Packing.
5. Place of sale.

The degree of efficiency of use. In various creams, gels and lotions that can be purchased at a regular store, there is actually a very low level of active ingredients, designed, for example, to get rid of acne or smooth wrinkles.

The thing is that manufacturers of cosmetic products focused on mass use are required to comply with a number of requirements in its manufacture. The main of these rules states that the active substances contained in skin care products cannot penetrate beyond the stratum corneum.

This reduces the risk of allergies, thereby ensuring their safety. However, the result of application noticeably suffers from this.

Thus, the concentration of nutritious, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients contained in professional cosmetics, as a rule, is several times higher than the number of similar components added to conventional products.

As a result, the effect of using the latter has to wait a very long time: from 1 to 3 months, subject to daily application.

Regularity of use. Professional products are maximally filled with active substances aimed at intensive nutrition and hydration of the skin, relieve inflammation and eliminate deficiencies. Therefore, the positive effect of their use becomes noticeable instantly, literally after a few procedures.

But long-term systematic use of such products can cause allergies. Therefore, the use of professional cosmetics in face care should be supervised by a specialist cosmetologist or at least after receiving advice from him.

Certification All specialized cosmetic preparations are tested, according to the results of which they receive certificates of conformity. These are documents confirming the effectiveness of the product that was declared by the manufacturer.

To create professional products that are subject to mandatory certification, the manufacturer undertakes to use only high quality components and modern technologies. Compliance with this rule ensures that a first-class product is received at the output, but is reflected in its cost.

cheap products, clinical trials do not pass and certificates do not receive. Therefore, no one guarantees their quality and effectiveness.

Packing. Products of professional series are usually sold in containers of impressive volume, while conventional cosmetics can often be found in small tubes. The latter are also decorated with a variety of bright labels, which immediately attracts attention.

Salon products against its background look quite modest.

Place of sale. Unlike usual, professional cosmetics cannot be purchased at any store. It is sold exclusively in beauty salons, as well as in specialized points of sale and on special Internet sites.

Categories of professional facial cosmetics

Professional facial cosmetics is divided into several categories:

1. Middle class cosmetics.
2. Selective cosmetics.
3. Salon cosmetics.
4. Medical cosmetics.

Middle class cosmetics. About 30-60% of the composition of this product is accounted for by extracts of medicinal substances and natural plant materials. But in its manufacture, manufacturers, as a rule, resort to the method of hot squeezing. This significantly affects the benefits of drugs.

Selective cosmetics. It is often created by companies that have their own laboratories. The composition of these products is enriched with organic components. In the manufacturing process, the cold squeeze method is used, which allows you to save the bulk of nutrients.

Due to this, cosmetics successfully and quickly cope with problematic skin conditions without causing allergies and addiction.

Salon cosmetics. The action of products in this category is aimed at eliminating skin defects. The most important component in their formulation is the active ingredient of the product or the subsequent effect on the site of application by ultrasound and microscopic discharges of current. The use of such drugs is allowed only after consulting a specialist.

Medical cosmetics. Often sold in pharmacies. Depending on the depth of exposure, products of this category are divided into several subspecies.

This is cosmetics:

• surface action (do not penetrate further than the uppermost stratum corneum);
• working on the surface of basement membranes (these products are known for their good effectiveness, but they cannot be used for more than 1-3 months in a row);
• acting on all 3 layers of the skin (currently under development).

What are the professional face treatments

Useful video about facial cosmetics

Video about what you need to focus on when choosing a face cream:

In young years, we buy a lot of skin care products. We readily believe marketers who promise a magical effect. We do not yet have much consumer experience, therefore, we are greedy for new products and advertising promises.

But over time, we are convinced that many of those bought and the body are redundant. We practically do not use them, and they stand in the bathroom, sometimes for years (it is a pity to throw it away) until we finally understand that we do not need them, then we get rid of them.

Many women have many tubes and jars of creams, and all are different. One day for the face, another night, the third under the eyes. Then for the neck, body, heels, elbows, cuticles ... Stop, that's enough!

The necessary arsenal

In fact, we need:
- daily creamas a basis for makeup;
- nightly nutritious;
- body cream (if you have very dry skin, the rest of it is useless);
- hand cream.

In fact, the same cream can be used for the face, body, heels and cuticles. If you find a product that suits you well and suits you well, stick to it.

In addition, you can soften the elbows, heels and cuticles with olive oil or baby cream - and no problems. In general, you understand: do not produce extra entities.

What else do you need?

Foam for washing.However, if you do not have dry skin, you can do without foam / mousse, and use a mild soap, for example, baby or Dove, to wash your face.

A peeling or facial scrub will be useful. Many prefer with synthetic particles, as they have a perfectly round shape and do not scratch the skin. But natural particles (walnut shells, etc.) may cause irritation in some.

A face mask is a good thing. But they can be made independently from products that are always at hand. Sometimes they are even more effective than purchased ones. True, with the ready, less fuss - I smeared, and order. But if you are not too lazy to make homemade masks, do it for health. After all, preparing a mask is also a kind of relaxation.

Useful for the summer - in the event that you live in a hot climate, spend a lot of time in the sun or plan to go to a seaside resort.

It will come in handy and makeup remover milk.Many cosmetologists recommend using it instead of washing. There are women who prefer to remove makeup with olive oil, it is good for the skin. If you wish, you can drop a few drops of your favorite perfume into it.

If you have too thin and sensitive skin wrinkle prone around the eyes, you can use special eye lotion remover. Or use it if you constantly use waterproof mascara (waterproof). Other women can do without this lotion, a mild soap or foam for washing your face is enough.

Naturally necessary shampoo. I must say that most modern shampoos differ little from each other. Basically, their difference is more of a marketing ploy. Therefore, if you have a shampoo that suits you well, stick to it and do not fall for various advertising promises.

Shower gel.In most cases, shampoo can be used to wash the body. Experts wrote and said many times that they are made from one base, the difference is only in color and fragrance.
