‘Damn, this is how heaven probably feels like’. That what I thought to myself a little over a year ago when I had the most amazing facial at Rescue Spa in NYC. Only to be brought back on Earth the moment I had to pay more than a month’s rent at the checkout – and it’s even without the tip. Brain quickly prompted a valid question: ‘Can I do a good facial at home?’ I know, getting a facial seems…

DOING FACIAL AT HOME IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK

RESCUE SPA COMES TO THE RESCUE WITH BIO-LIFT FACIAL
I’ve had quite a lot of facials in my life living back in Ukraine, haven’t had one in NYC till now though. There’s a couple of reasons for that. First, my skin is totally fine, I don’t feel like it needs some extra procedures on a regular basis. I am really satisfied with how my skin looks like with current home routines. Second, I had no idea where to go and was lazy even to start looking)) And third, it’s…

30 DAYS MASK CHALLENGE: HOW I TRIED TO MASK EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH
As a beauty and recently skincare addict I’m trying to try so many new things but having only one face kinda a bummer.

Pretty pink bottles and all the hype around Glossier brand was impossible to ignore anymore and during my next relaxed stroll down NYC SoHo streets, of course, I popped up in…

FEBRUARY EMPTIES 2018. THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE MEH
The Good Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil. Bumble And Bumble made an amazing shampoo and conditioner. It was only travel sized bottles 60ml but it was enough to impress me. Added to wishlist. Innisfree Jeju Gardenia. This little purse-sized hand cream was my favorite to-go product. It absorbed really quickly, left my hands very soft and neat looking, without gross greasy feeling. And it smelled so good! I’ll be coming back for this little thing. Shea Moisture Shea Butter. When I was purchasing…

MY TOP5 MOST REPURCHASED PRODUCTS
Relaunching my blog is so exciting and I can’t think of a better post to start anew than to share with you products I was buying, again and again, for the last two years. Well, for a kind of beauty maniac I am it’s not exactly normal to purchase the same thing twice let alone three or even more times. Batiste Dry Shampoo with a hint of color Divine Dark. It’s a great dry shampoo and brown tint makes it…
