Kora Organics Skincare review

I was so excited to try this new skincare line from Miranda Kerr. Most of the products that I was using before were running out so I decided to try this. What pushed me to change my skincare routine to this was the fact that is was organic.Recently I have been very into organic products and I have changed my eating habits as well, but that is a separate post if you want to hear about trying out vegan food.

Anyway, my mother would always say be careful of what you put on your skin because it soaks up everything. She always insisted that I get organic products but i dismissed them and went for heavy chemicals because I thought they would work better. Finally, I began to listen to her.

Before this my skin went crazy on me. Due to climate change, hormones and extra stress because of college my skin looked horrible. Horrible. It never looked so bad. 

During the first couple of weeks I felt that my skin was almost rejecting it completely. It felt gross. I thought my skin just got more oily and sticky and I was very upset.But after a week or so it got used to it and everything changed.Overall my skin became less oily and accustomed to the organic range.
These four products were the only things I used for the past 2,5 weeks to really see how they worked. No acne treatments or masks, just what is pictured.

Now looking at my skin in the mirror my acne has cleared up mostly, my skin is not as sensitive as it was, it feels soft, there is no flakiness and in general it looks healthier. I'm not going to say that my skin is glowing angelically and perfect. But I believe these products really do work. I will repurchase and recommend to them to you. Plus the packaging is beautiful and it has positive, inspirational words on the back to brighten your day. Miranda Kerr did a excellent job thinking out every detail of this line.

Foaming Cleanser-I felt that it is best applied onto dry skin then it goes all white and creamy and gets gunk off better.

Energising Citrus Mist- very bergamot tea smell, not a life changing product but works well in conjunction will the line.

Purifying Day and Night Cream-LESS IS MORE! If you use to much your skin feels sticky,but if you use just right it feels amazing!

Luxurious Rosehip Oil- This is my favorite product, it is freakin amazing! I use this at night or when I'm not going to wear makeup. I layer it under my Kora moisturizer and it makes my skin baby soft!

Hope you enjoyed this post!

P.S I bought all the products off the official Kora website and paid for everything myself.

US drugstore haul

Hey everybody!

Long time no post, but I am back with a drugstore haul/product review.

I'm going to start with the product that I like the most. Meet covergirl clump crusher mascara. I've tried another covergirl mascara (lash bast 24 hours) and I didn't like it all, but this on the other hand is a real keeper. It lengthens,thickens,doesn't budge and is easily removed with warm water. If you are in Europe then you can get this mascara from their sister brand maxfactor. I will repurchase this mascara certainly. *please excuse my brows they look horrible,I just still thought I should share the photo*

Revlon moon art nail polish. I am a bit iffy about this stuff. I thought it looked a bit messy for my taste. It just wasn't my cup a tea, but maybe you will like it. The staying power is really good it lasted 4 days without chipping, no top coat. The thing that really put me off this product is the gritty texture of the nail polish itself.

Revlon kissable balm stain in lovesick passionee

I really like this! It lasts around 4-5 hours on the lips without touch ups, doesn't dry them out and I enjoy the slight cooling/minty sensation that you get when you first apply it.

All the photos of swatches that I do are just not turning out right and don't do this color and justice, but if you really want to see a picture of what this stain looks on me check out my instagram katrina407.(it's the best place to get to know me and Tanya better, just sayin')

Que bella detoxifying dead sea clay mask

Great for "perking up" your skin. Tightens pores and gives a nice refreshing feel.

I can't say this is thee best mask out there, but it gets the job done. Plus, this little pack last you 2-3 uses! It has a pleasant fresh sent as well

Que bella clarifying cucumber mask

This actually really helped me with my sunburn on my face! It calmed everything down nicely. I can't say that it did a fantastic job clarifying my face as it is marketed to do so…

Sonia Kashuk #16 brush

HUGE RAVE!!!! So soft, so beautiful, so cheap compared to MAC or other brands.

Essie sleek stick nails in embrace the lace

Very pretty and easy to put on! Lasted up to 3 days on me. But I have to say they went through some tough conditions. I spent 3 days on the lake jumping,swimming,putting on tanning oil etc

Yes to Grapefruits body srub

The scent is just to strong for me. I don't really like it. It isn't a great exfoliater either. I wouldn't recommend you purchase this. 

That it is for now my lovely readers! Please subscribe to our blog it would mean the world to us! If you would like me to write more posts in Russian or do them in both languages just comment down below. I'll do anything to keep you happy! If you have any requests please let us know!

Airplane essentials

Airplane essentials

-My number one product especially when traveling in summer on planes are... Socks! *not pictured cuz they're on my feet!" I know this sounds weird but when you travel in flats or sandals you don't realize how cold it gets when your in the air.

-My iPad. Shall I say more? You just don't fly without one. Nuff said.

-Sleeping mask. Personally, I black out on airplanes. Sleep right through the flight and one of the things that helps me in that is mask.

-Now here comes my little beauty ritual.

The first thing I do when I get on my plane is take off my makeup with some makeup wipes. I don't have a specific brand I prefer the ones pictured are cheap ones from l'etoile.

-Evian facial spray is what I use right after the wipes and during the whole flight. It's really just refreshing to me, I don't know if it actually moisturizers my skin but the feeling is pleasant.

-In the little green container from Clinique I just put a little bit of my keihls ultra facial moisturizer. This is my favorite moisturizer I have tried so far. Definitely recommend!

-Keihls  blue herbal spot treatment. Kind of a meh product. It's ok but no miracle worker.

-Smashbox hydrating primer. This is a really  nice primer and a sample size is great for travel.

-Diorskin nude bb cream. I'm still head over heels in love.

-Benefit creaseless cream shadow in birthday suit.  So easy to use, just slap it on with a finger-done.

-Maybelline the falsies mascara. To open up the eyes, isn't that right ladies ??:)

-Burberry #7 earthy blush. THEE perfect bronzed for pale skin. Not orange.  One love.

-Bourjois cream blusher 01. Love this pretty peach color. Again no brushes needed just fingers.
