I want to tell you about the best thing, that has ever happened to me, but at the same time, I want to tell you nothing. And even if I tried to keep our relationship to myself, I find myself writing about him, those sentences just sneaking up in my texts and getting lost in there, whatever the subject was. You have probably noticed.
He is such a big part of my life, it’s no wonder you already know him by name.
But where would I even start? I have no words for the weird coincidence, that I happened to meet him. I have no explanation, as to why we got along so well – instantly. I don’t understand, how he manages to wake me up every single morning with a smile on his face, and why I look forward to that moment.
Or maybe I do.
But I still wonder, how you can love someone so much. Even after all these years, I get occassionally nervous in his company and start to blush and sweat. A fact, that he likes to point out – especially if we are out in a public place – so that I get even more blushed and awkward than I was.
Luckily in these photoshoots, we were both equally awkward – but only for a minute. Out photographer was so talented, she could make us relax and these photos turned out wonderful.
I didn’t know there were gifts to be exchanged for our anniversary – other than a nice dinner we had to celebrate – but then Risto went and surprised me with a trip to Paris in Fall. Wow. As if that wasn’t enough, he also got us a trip to Fort-De-France as my birthday present. I’m thinking that bringing him a cup of coffee in the morning makes up as an equal gift, would you say?
One of the most important things in my skincare are masks. They’ve always been the one thing I stress, when I’m giving skincare advice. Giving that extra care to your skin once per week is essential in keeping it clean and good-looking.
Especially if your skin has even a slight tendency to impurities or oiliness. And actually – whatever the problem was. You probably know that feeling, when you feel like your skin is not doing that great? Maybe it looks dull, maybe there are impurities, dry spots or you feel like it needs a little something. Solution: masks.
In this post I will share my favorite masks from Madara. Madara has awesome masks and I’ve used them for years. They are very effective and the price-quality ratio is good.
I took these masks with me last weekend on a cottage, and chose a mask for my sister and my friend. They also got to tell their opinions on the products.
MADARA ULTRA PURIFYING MUD MASK – DETOX
Could this be the most effective mud mask I’ve ever tried? Possibly. Sometimes, if I leave it on for too long – I get red as a lobster. 5-10 minutes is enough with this one, so it’s also a time-saver. If your skin is super oily and you’re longing for that matte, very clean feeling – you have to try this.
I chose this mask for my sister Janika, who has an oily skin. The mask was on her face for about 7 minutes. She liked the mask and was amazed at how fresh and clean her skin looked. The mask also brought some of the spots on the surface, so the next day she had some red spots – which then went away quicker. So if you have a party coming up, do this mask at the beginning of the week to purify your skin!
MADARA BRIGHTENING AHA PEEL MASK
Treating your skin with acids may sound rough, but it’s actually a gentle way to exfoliate the skin and make it look clean and radiant. Radiant is the key word here, because this mask really does brighten the skin and make it radiant. The consistency is quite transluscent, but don’t let it fool you. This mask is very effective – and the proper time for this mask is 3-10 minutes as well. So, another time-saver. As always: remember to protect your skin with SPF 15 at minimum, when you’re using products containing AHA or BHA.
I chose this mask for my friend Inka, who also liked it very much. She felt her skin was smooth and radiant after using this mask. Inka’s skintype is combination, leaning more to the dry side though. The mask was on her face for about 7 minutes.
This is the newest mask from Madara and I got it as pr-sample. It’s a mud mask, but compared to Detox mask, it’s milder. When I could use Detox mask once per week, this I could do 2-3 times. This smart mask purifies the skin, but it also nourishes it. It contains charcoal, so it’s completely black. The consistency is something I absolutely love – it glides effortlessly on the skin and it makes my skin look and feel good. Again, 5-10 minutes. Madara knows people are busy nowadays!
I use all of these masks, but I chose this one for my skin this time. It has quickly become one of my favorite masks! It leaves my skin fresh, purified and radiant. My skintype is combination.
