Better skin in 30-days with Swanicoco Skin Care

My skincare used to change a lot, but even if I know my skin and ingredients well there are some problems that I can't really work on. I was invited to take a part in Swanicoco Swans2 program, I've changed my skincare completely about a month ago and what was the result? Was it worth it or not?

Christmas shopping? Find an ideal gift for beauty lover, your friends and family

Christmas is coming, as long as I like Christmas and making gifts, I hate Christmas if it comes to work but let's focus on gifts. Usually, I've got already all the gifts for my family & friends done but not this time! This time I'm a bit late and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'll show you today some of my beauty and non-beauty ideas and tips and wait... there are some promo codes in case you forgot about presents and you're broke after Black Friday just like me.

Sheet mask for every occasion? Leaders Daily Wonders Sheet Masks

According to the internet, Chinese actress Fan Bing Bing uses about 600 sheet masks per year. This number gives us a result of almost 2 sheet masks every day. There's a challenge on the internet called one sheet mask a day, but to be honest, I've heard mixed opinions about using a sheet mask or even two sheet masks per day. I got a package from an online shop called Kokosklep with new Leaders sheet masks from their offer. I wanted to use one sheet mask every 2nd day but it was impossible anyway I did it and let me share the results. 

BLACK FRIDAY & CYBERMONDAY 2017 - K-BEAUTY, SALES & CODES

The Black Friday is coming - what does it mean?

Liferia October 2017 Beauty Box

It's November right now, but let's go back to October for a little bit. Let's be clear - Autumn is not a season which our body, skin and hair love, hopefully, Liferia decided to focus on the body from the outside and inside this month so what we'll find this month in a box?

How do I take photos? Let's focus on colours

I know that you were suspecting that today's post is going to be about photo styling but before we do that let's focus on colours and why understanding the colours can make the photo styling easier. It's a really easy topic and it can help speed up the process of figuring out the concept of the photo and finding ideal decorations for each concept.

By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash Review

I feel like Oil Cleansers were very revolutionary - before everyone was scared of cleanse their faces with an oil and now - almost every popular brand want to have their own oil cleanser. By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash is a new product in Wishtrend's offer and in By Wishtrend's portfolio. The idea of mixing low-acid cleanser and face scrub sounds like a new and refreshing idea but is it as practical as oil cleanser?

How do I take photos for my blog? The basics.

I can admit that I spend way more time on Instagram than I spend on other social media or even on this blog - the reason is pretty simple - Instagram is a way faster platform and let's be honest - we don't always have time to read long articles. This year has taught me a lot - not only in a skincare but mostly if it comes to photography and graphic design. I've started to share my editing tips on Instastory but I've decided to change it into a short series of photography tips. It's the first post from this series so we'll start carefully - from choosing a camera to tools. 

Seasonal Beauty: Autumn - Pumpkin & Apple

I do not know how about you but for me, Autumn is a season when I crave for some pumpkin and apples - not only in my food but also in my skincare. Let me introduce to apple lip care by Laneige, pumpkin mask by Peter Thomas Roth, Whamisa and pumpkin set by The Body Shop. Are you ready to feel the autumn in your bathroom?

Liferia Autumn box - Jesienna Aura

Today I want to share with you latest Liferia box full of products from brands such as Nabla, Bee Good or Ooh!

Troiareuke Acsen Selemix Serum Review

Acne is a problem which took me ages to finally control it. Even 3 years ago I still had to listen how Accutane and birth control can magically remove acne from my face (as well as it has lots of side effects but who cares). I gave up on dermatologists because I felt like they do at their work what I do at mine - just copy and paste the same formula in each correspondence with the patient/client. A month ago I got a message from Troiareuke - a South Korean aesthetic skincare brand. That's why I met the most important product in my skincare routine - Troiareuke Acsen Selemix Serum.

Whamisa Organic Flowers Damask Rose Petal Mist Review

I've never been a fan of rose products but adding one product with rose petals in it changed my skin care and my interests in beauty completely. You might think that face mists are useless but in fact, they add more moisture and in the summer they can help balance the skin temperature as well. Whamisa Organic Flowers Damask Rose Petal Mist is my second face mist made by this brand. What's so unique about it - the unique composition of ingredients and rose petals.

Willow Organics Fruit Sugar Scrub

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

I do not classify myself as a beauty blogger even if my content is mostly about skincare, but there are two things I hardly ever write about - makeup and body care. You see, the problem is that I've got one horrible skin condition which I should consult with a dermatologist again but if you know me very well then you know two things - I hate dermatologists and I hate this whole bureaucracy mixed with humiliation which you can feel on your own skin in Poland, obviously not every doctor is like that but I had very bad situations at hospitals. So what do I do when going to the hospital is my least favourite thing - I'm using scrubs and today I'll show you a natural scrub made by a young polish brand. 

Cleansing - not that easy as you thing | Oczyszczanie - nie takie łatwe jak się wydaje

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

What's the most important part of skincare? If you think that moisturising or using sunscreen then you're wrong. Even if every part of skincare is important, products won't work as they should on a dirty canvas. Cleansing is the most basic step but even this simple part of your skincare can go wrong.

Guess what premier do we have today? Klairs just launched their new product! It's called Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask.

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

It's getting colder and even if we didn't start fall/autumn season already, we can easily smell the autumn in the air. It's also a good time for skin care treatments such as acids.

Is it all that your skin needs during the autumn?

Cosmetics at work?

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

Being a freelancer has its good and bad sites. One of the good sites is that I can work from home in PJ's and no one will ever know, that's also how I survived the video calls from my boss several times - white shirt, black blazer and the PJ's below the table. But even at work - no matter if you're a freelancer or you've got a normal job - some products are necessary - especially if you've got an allergy or skin/health condition.

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

Korres Wild Rose Oil was a product which I saw when I was trying to make my first routine based on Asian Beauty routines.

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

Pore cleansing is not the easiest thing to do. There are some special pore packs like pore stripes but I've heard mixed opinions about them - they enlarge pores, they are not effective, they are painful, etc. I have to admit that in 2017 I've changed my pore care totally, I've started to use bubbles... Today I'm going to show you one of the products that help me with my pore care. Meet the Rivecowe Bubble Mask Pack. 

Tonymoly X Pokemon Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

I am a big nerd - I can admit it, it's not like I call myself nerd because of my work - I just love playing video games and both me and my best friends we've got our own slang - we can talk for hours about different games, TV shows or even about some IT stuff. But we're also women - we have to talk about guys & cosmetics (ok, we usually talking how we are going to die as single ladies with 20 cats) and when we saw the Pokemon themed beauty product from Tonymoly we started to search them on ebay. Hopefully for me thanks to the awesome blog called Interedo and the giveaway action I was able to test Tonymoly Pokemon Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion SPF50+ PA+++ in a shade #23.

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

Acid treatments are really effective - no matter if your skin is acne-prone or you just want to work a little bit on your wrinkles, pigmentation or skin condition in general. Not every acid is good for every skin type, I feel like people with sensitive skin types are scared of this type of treatment. One of the mild acids recommended for sensitive skin is By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water - a new chemical exfoliator which I want to show you and tell you more about it.

If you're a makeup lover then oil-based cleansers should be your besties - lots of foundations and primers are full of silicones and other bad substances that are clogging your pores or do some bad stuff to your skin.

I'm From Honey Cream

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

Skincare for mature skin is not an easy thing. I'm sure that you have the same feelings as I had couple years ago - all the products are designed for teenagers (acne-prone skin) or women 45+ - honestly, even my grandmother doesn't use these 45+, 50+, 60+ creams. The fact is that AB (Asian Beauty) products almost always contain brightening and anti-aging ingredients but today I'm going to show you I'm From Honey Cream which the main role is to decrease wrinkles.

 Read in English       Przeczytaj po polsku

It's funny how some simple topics - even our favourite ones - might be probably the scariest topics to talk about. When I've started this blog I wanted to write about lifestyle but I never thought that I'm going to write about music - besides choosing ukulele because that's like a piece of cake. Music is one of these topics which I can put next to the politics and medicine which can unite people but they can also divide them. Sometimes I feel like moving on is tightly connected with breaking your boundaries, that's why today I'm going to take you on a music journey.
