Budget facial care reviews

I've been reading reviews from girls all month about budget-friendly and effective personal care products, and I decided to try some. I will say right away that my skin is not easy (I would like to add - “golden”, problematic: in the winter the T-zone dries out and is terribly flaky, but in the summer it shines. The pores are enlarged (it turned out kind of ugly). So, this is what I dug up:

1. I was inspired by the reviews on Nevskaya Cosmetics and I purchased a series of creams for the care of hands, feet and face (they don’t offer anything else for other parts of the body in our outback)

Foot cream: refreshing, smells very nice and is absorbed quite quickly - check it out! Price: 34 rub.

Hand creams: absorb quickly, hands are soft and do not become sticky, although cream with sea buckthorn takes a little getting used to - the smell is unusual after application.

In general, I really liked them! Price: 34 rub. After using different Handles, etc., there is no feeling of cream on the skin, no waxy films either.

2. Since birth, my daughter’s skin has been very flaky and itchy after water treatments (water like this). We tried a lot. but settled on this:

I don’t like using it as a hand cream or anything else (very greasy), but it does the job perfectly well. Price: 29 rub.

3. I would like to make a separate point about this cream

I bought it for testing because spring changed its mind about the start, and in the winter the peeling returned. I still don’t understand what it is: you press on it, and first some liquid flows out of it, and then cream. After applying it to your face, it feels like you have anointed yourself with oil. It's too greasy even for your hands.

4. And now “Clean Line”. This company really surprised me, in a good way. Previously, I refused it, because it was hack-work on hack-work. Corrected - well done!

I share with you my find

I am delighted! Garnier and others just relax - gently, carefully and thoroughly cleanses the skin - check out! Price: 108 rub.!

5. I’ve been eyeing this cream for a long time, but they didn’t deliver it or anything else, but the other day I took it and didn’t regret it

Pleasant in smell and texture, applied and absorbed almost immediately, pores are not clogged and there is no oily sheen. One minus - the jar is small Price: 101 rubles.

6. I have been using these products for a long time: they do their job perfectly. Without tightness, dryness and greasy marks.

I alternate between each other, enough drops at a time, even wash off mascara. Price: around 50-60 rubles. (I took it a long time ago)

7. I didn’t see if anyone wrote about this, but I would print out a poster: “Girls - try it!” When the price of my favorite Maybelline mascara became fabulous, I started looking through different options, but in the end, almost all of them began to cost 400 rubles. Greed pushed me to experiment. In one store there was a rack with all the Art-visage products. All types of mascara brushes are also shown separately. “What good can Russia invent in this matter?” I thought and still decided to buy mascara No. 5 (they go by numbers) “Perfectionist for unruly eyelashes.” And you know - I really liked it! For myself, I noticed that it needed to be corrected and another time I bought No. 3 “Architect for increasing the length of eyelashes.” It's a total delight - 2 strokes and eyelashes like a doll's)) I also use a dry Maybelline brush afterwards and that's it - I'm beautiful! You don’t expect such a result from a local manufacturer. Price: 201 rub.

8. Well, with this photo I’m just joining the positive reviews

9. Natura Siberica - I’ve been friends for a long time, but among the regulars I like these ones

The mousse is over, but there is no need for it yet (thanks to Clean Line)

10. Another treasure for me in winter.

Recently, by the way, my husband complained about the dryness of his face and I suggested that he make this mask - the man then touched his face all evening and twirled in front of the mirror - the effect amazed him (though I wore out a fair amount of masks on him - the area would be larger than mine) Lasts for a long time (if you don’t smear your husbands Price: about 200 rubles.

11. And the antihero from this series. They gave it to me, but I’m spitting - the smell is incomprehensible, the foam is terribly bad, it takes up a lot of space

12. I used this balm for a long time, then somehow switched from it to another, and now, after reading the reviews, I decided to return. There is a place to be!

It comes in a 200 ml tube. - 89 rubles (in new design) and 450 ml - 145 rubles. (as before, in a jar).

13. A find for the whole family - 3 years of use, ages from 0 to 30

Lasts a long time. Price: 129 rub.

14. Of the things I will never buy again - not a single product.

15. And lastly (you can sigh) I heard a lot about SOSO socks, which cost a lot of money, and I wanted something similar. Something similar was sold in Magnit for about 300 rubles. I bought it, put it on and took it off in 40 minutes. (instead of 90-120 minutes prescribed). When I put them on (you can’t walk in them), I decided to take a nap (which is a waste of time on the weekend). I woke up feeling like I was being boiled alive from below. I quickly took everything off and washed it away. The smell from your feet is an indescribable sensation! What can you expect if it contains salicylic alcohol, urea, formic acid, etc. In a week, I can now polish workpieces or scratch people’s backs for money - I don’t have feet, but sandpaper. And the instructions say to rub with a pumice stone! That in 2 weeks it will fall off on its own! I’ll walk around like this for another week and see what exactly falls off there

creams, under the eyes, tonics, masks, who uses what?

morning cleansing gel + Mary Kay brush, I used to use special washcloths. then face cream, every 2 days I make clay masks (blue, red and black) and black pearl scrub 2 times a week. In the evening I wipe my face with micellar water (I only paint my eyes) and then wash my face with plain water.

I think I need some other cream for the night, but so far I haven’t found anything. Sometimes I use a garnier for my face - it’s light.

We choose products for the face, body and hair that cost more than they are asking for. We don’t get too clever - we just name the ones we use.

In the comments to the budget experiment with makeup, we were asked to name skincare products that would cost approximately nothing, but would work at all 101. We thought about it, shook our heads in our bathrooms, looked at our dressing tables - and chose the most budget-friendly one. We are using it at the moment.

Youth Secrets 24 H Cream, Valeve

Yana Z.: “I foresee all possible attacks. Like “Do you really think that 3395 rubles is very budget-friendly? Do you remember the miners? What about their salaries? No. Yes. I remember. But of all the creams that have passed through my face, this one turned out to be the most affordable of the effective ones and the most effective of the conditionally available ones. I can’t explain in any other way the fact that I carry him on all my business trips and worry if he suddenly falls out of sight.

About the fact that it moisturizes the skin like few others - you guessed it, right?

Sugar body scrub Garden of Eden, NoniCare

Ira: “Actually, I prefer salt scrubs to sugar scrubs (ever’s favorite is the draining Collistar). But I unexpectedly liked this one. After rinsing off, it leaves a very thin film, but it is not oily, and drops of water don’t roll off like a duck’s back. Body cream can be neglected, the skin is smooth and moisturized. Bonus: the juicy aroma of exotic fruits with invigorating orange notes, the home-spa effect is guaranteed.”

Shower gel “Cancun cactus”, Therme

Olya: “We raffled off this product on Instagram, and there were an unreal number of participants in the competition. Since I was not familiar with the brand before, I was very surprised by such a stir. But now, it seems, I understand everything.

Moisturizing mist Lähde Pure Arctic Hydration Spring Water Mist, Lumene

Olya: “I really love this series. I’m delighted with the new serum, and mist is actually my favorite product format. I use them all year round and in all circumstances. In summer - when it’s hot, in autumn and winter - when it’s dry due to heating, in the morning - to wake up, at the end of the day - to cheer up, in the gym - to freshen up, before makeup - so that it goes on better, after - so that it lasts longer.

Therefore, I have a decent supply of mists, and this remedy is among my favorites. It contains birch sap and vitamin C. The spray is sprayed in very small droplets, which are instantly absorbed. Or they evaporate. In general, they disappear without a trace. All that remains is vigor and a fresh look.”

Two-phase conditioner that makes combing easier, with glitter, Equave Kids Princess Conditioner, Revlon Professional

Olya: “Imagine: you leave the boxing gym in sweat and bruises, take off your gloves, unwind the bandages, undo the braids in which you put your hair so as not to interfere with the fight... and then pull out of your bag a pink (with glitter!) “Princess” spray, spray it a couple of times and bam! - your hair is no longer a washcloth, and those around you are no longer afraid to approach you.

With this product you don't need to carry conditioner with you, it makes combing easier (alas, this is not just a children's nightmare!), removes static electricity and adds shine. But the sparkles, if anything, are very delicate.”
