Beauty & Makeup

When I was younger I thought my skin looks great when I get a bronze tan after hanging out in the sunlight all day long. Now I know how harmful it is for the skin, especially the sensitive skin on the face. I don’t have enough fingers on my body to count all the tries I took to find a suitable alternative. I am quite scared of self-tanners, as turning up on the shoot looking stripped and orange has become my biggest nightmare. As you probably have guessed already I went for gradual tanning moisturizing lotions. And I probably have to go and buy myself an expert’s degree to sound more official here:) But seriously, I literally tried every single gradual self-tanner on the market.

Truth about Garnier Summer Body! “Summer body” sounds fantastic, right? That’s what I thought. Read the rest of this entry »

I have just found the perfect scent for the summer. Now I know for sure that my summer will smell like a flight. Mexx Fly High came out last summer, but I didn’t come across it till now. This is the fragrance for the people with certain philosophy, for those who live for emotions, feelings, discoveries, speed, happiness… For those, whose crazy summer adventures catch everybody’s attention and make people want to do something like that at least once in their lives.

Yep, maybe this is a little off topic. But I wanted to share with you something I was fantasizing about. Every time of the year when I get waken up by the sun before my alarm clock goes on I realize how beautiful life is and how bad I want a pair of new sunglasses.
So, here is something I thought you would enjoy. These are Givenchy hottest sunglasses–a symbol of French elegance and intriguing beauty. Read the rest of this entry »

Why not? It could be a part of your lifestyle or just a playful mood at the moment, or maybe a wish to surprise your boyfriend. Whatever it is, I strongly believe that pubic hair design could be just another way to express yourself. Just watch out, so that your wild imagination didn’t scary off somebody who is less wild and creative (if you are planning to share it with anybody, anyway;)) Read the rest of this entry »

Here we go, girls! After I have tried depilatory creams, epilators and while I was still getting cuts from a razor I felt I needed to accumulate all my confidence and courage for trying out waxing. I really wanted to secure my place in hairfree heaven! All the comments I got on this idea were pretty much the same: “get prepared for THE PAIN!” Very encouraging, huh?!

We were about to go to this great photo shoot that took place in an exotic resort in the Indian Ocean. The trip would last for almost a week and we were scheduled for a swimsuit shoots in different locations everyday. I knew that if I will be shaving every single day my bikini area would look like a disaster because of the irritation and bumps that I don’t really want to get photographed. So, it looked like I didn’t really have a choice. Read the rest of this entry »

What exactly is the difference between depilation and epilation? Epilating leaves us without any hair on the skin’s surface for much longer, as when we epilate we remove our hair with follicles. I was so tired of shaving every single day that I finally decided I needed to look further. This time I figured I won’t put poor Linda at risk (you can read about our depilation cream experience) and try out something that would keep me hairless for longer by myself. As my holiday departure day was approaching, I had to make up my mind. When I was leaving the store with my new Braun Silk Epil epilator in a bag I thought my problem was solved.

After I found out that a razor leaves my skin in the condition I don’t want anybody to see. I was out looking for other options. Let me tell you I wasn’t alone in this search. My best friend Linda and me just turned 15 and we felt like we needed to be the sexiest girls out there. We were trying really hard. As Linda was cutting herself every time she took a razor in her hands, she joined me on this trip at the store. We decided to do a little at home hair care, but down there. So, we spent a fortune on different depilating products to run a test. Read the rest of this entry »

I do believe every girl starts her bikini hair war with a razor. So, there is no point in detailed review of this old, but trusted method. Maybe you are the lucky one, but I could not fight the irritation and redness I got after a razor. When I was in the 8th grade one of my friends told me to use hair conditioner when I was shaving down there, she swore it helped with bumps and ingrown hairs, but I thought it was way too strange. Anyways, maybe she was right… Are there any volunteers? Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry, maybe this is not a romantic subject to discuss… though it really depends on the way you look at it… As some celebrities say, it can change your life.
…Umm, if you didn’t change your hair life down there yet, you are about to decide which way of unwanted pubic hair removal is right for you. And then you can have all the romance of the world… in your bedroom:) Read the rest of this entry »

I almost forgot how exciting is to be single..!
Sorry, guys, I didn’t write for some time. I got into discovering the new opportunities, traveling, meeting people, flirting, partying, racing (I do drag racing:) ), and wearing down my heels at the castings and shootings. But now I am back with you and have some great stuff to discuss. So watch out for new posts in the next couple of days.

Yes, and by the way… Do you believe in coincidences? While I was so busy throwing out that special person from my heart after a break up, I met him accidentally. I don’t know if he is following me, but it was late at the night, when traffic jams have stopped pulsing with red stopping lights for quite some time and the weather was freezing. I don’t really understand what was the mysterious feeling that took me out to walk around in the dark and cold of the sleeping city, but Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday I got my DVD disks from my agency with the movie episodes where I was acting. As I was watching the films making ice-cream in my bowl disappear, I thought that I should have take the telephone number of that make-up artist guy, who did my makeup for these episodes… Not only because he had the cutest ass and bluest eyes I have ever seen, but also because he made wonders with my eyelashes. I had MAGical eyes with beautiful false eyelashes! Read the rest of this entry »

One of my best model friends calls me saying she has to see me IMMEDIATELY. Why?! Did anybody die?
Anyway, we have agreed on meeting at StarBucks in an hour. She wouldn’t tell me what was her problem, but she sounded like she was bitten by the crazy little monkey.

When I came inside she looked furious. I glanced at my watch, to make sure I wasn’t late. I was OK. Still it felt good to know I wasn’t the reason of her very emotional state:). Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever wished your hair looked like supermodels hair from Victoria Secret show? I think I can tell you what they are using backstage:) Smooth, silky, shiny hair, no frizz, no damage after heat styling… This is Prêt-a-Porter for your hair! Not many products on the market that claim to do the same thing actually keep their promises, this one does. Read the rest of this entry »

I just hate the look of artificial nails. Fake nails remind me of the girls that work for the paid channels. The obvious similarity about them is that they look cheap! I am hearing some girls saying that they can’t grow their own nails. But I could not disagree with this more! There is a way to have perfect, healthy, strong, natural and long nails in a week and a half from now. This nail treatment seems to make some wonders with your nails no matter how week and soft they are. The effect of the Nail Tek Treatment on my nails I am classing to the “I do not believe my eyes” category. Read the rest of this entry »

What do you girls do after a painful breakup?
No, the bastard is NOT worth my tears! We’ve been taught that if someone you love hurts you, you cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it. But I would like to get to that “get over” stage at once. After working my ass out at the shooting the other day I found that the best therapy would be to buy that perfect lip gloss the makeup artist was using. Actually my lips were the only part of my face that looked right at that shooting. After spending the whole night drinking I wouldn’t expect any concealer to help. (yeah, yeah, you don’t die of a broken heart, you only wish you did.) Read the rest of this entry »

I happen to know one young model. If there were a competition for ladies with permanent lack of luck, this girl would be going there for the first prize. Although some “lack of intelligence competition” would suit her even better. Do you imagine a person, who really believes in cutting the ends of her eyelashes, so they will grow up longer!? Ok, so you got an idea:)

I saw her at the casting the other day and thought I’d write down this brilliant thought of mine: “Some people should never use a lip plumper!” This girl looked like she was beaten up. Her lips were huge, red, irritated and looked really sore. But she looked quite happy. I came up to ask her what she was using, so I can post some Danger-Caution-post to my blog. She smiled with her lips shining bloody red and replied: “Venom Gloss! It really works!” (Oh, yeah. thank you. I can see that). Read the rest of this entry »

Is it just me, or every girl on this planet starts thinking about new swimming suits in the end of February? Anyway, my mind is programmed — when I think “new bikinis”, I run to the mirror and stare at my butt for a couple of minutes. I am standing there with highest possible degree of concentration on my face. What I’m thinking is: “Huh, so it didn’t go away! Ok! Now, did it get better or worse? Damn, that’s probably cause I was using the chocolate therapy the other day. But I had a reason. That was a good reason. What was he even thinking when he said that bull…” Oops, I’m tending to get away from the subject:) Read the rest of this entry »

Before the show I see my friend Kira walking in to the backstage, where we get our makeup and hair done. I look at her face and I can’t believe my eyes. Ok, now I can go back, and change the title to: “Kira’s skin disaster”. You see, normally, I am a very polite person, but I failed to stop myself the moment I saw her. It was “Oh my God” situation with that eyebrows-raised-face full of sympathy. Poor girl had red and uneven face with huge breakouts, some yellow spots, and eyes with tears ready to come out. Although tears were not primary caused by Clinique’s 3 steps skincare everything else was. And this is an hour before the show… Read the rest of this entry »

Spring is almost here and it is just about the right time to have a glance at what our hair will look like in 2008. Most of my model friends have already had their hair experimented with for the different shows this season (nope, I am keeping my long waves). I will not continue on this painful topic of hair experiments for the shows, as it will be just way too painful for my readers and for my girls. Just believe me on this one, there are designers that don’t care how your hair will look like after the show is done and if it will suit you at all. Nope, their job is to make a trend.

As we are getting closer to the topic, I am warning you, I will NOT discuss here those “trendy” haircuts that make girls look like homeless creatures who have fun sticking their fingers in the socket. Even though some fashion magazines think those could be “the hottest hair hits”. Read the rest of this entry »

Blushing this season is something you just have to do. It’s cute and sweet, it makes your look really healthy and it’s the hottest trend for this season. What is the girl to do when she can’t decide which of two colors she should get? That’s right, ladies! Get both of them! The golden rule for undecided, like me:) And with Avon’s Horizon Blush the rule has really proven to be golden! Read the rest of this entry »
