The Unique

About a year ago, during the winter, my skin got a lot drier, and I started breaking out with pimples on my face. So, I decided to make some additions to my skincare routine. Every morning and evening, I mixed a tiny bit of Vaseline with my moisturizer and applied it to my face. But here’s the thing—you have to be careful with Vaseline. If you mix in a large amount with your moisturizer, it can clog your pores and cause even more breakouts. Also, if you already have milia (those small white bumps) under your eyes, putting Vaseline there can make them worse. Some people mix an entire jar of Vaseline with a whole jar of moisturizer and use it like that—but I don’t recommend it. Vaseline can cause the moisturizer to spoil faster. I also started using facial oil on top of my moisturizer, both in the morning and at night. After about one to two weeks, my pimples cleared up. That’s when I realized they were caused by a lack of moisture in my skin.

One of the things I struggle with the most is how quickly my manicure starts to chip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good topcoat for a long time. While browsing online, I came across the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. It had tons of glowing reviews, so I decided to give it a try, especially since the price was pretty affordable. I wanted to test it out and see if it lived up to the hype. I painted my nails as usual, then applied Seche Vite to my right hand about two minutes after putting on the nail polish. (You're supposed to apply it while your polish is still wet — otherwise, it won’t work properly and will chip faster.) It dried in about four minutes, which was impressive — faster than most topcoats I’ve tried. The finish on my right hand was noticeably shinier than my left, and I loved that glossy look. But here’s the downside: the polish on both hands chipped at the same time, and pretty quickly, too. So even though Seche Vite made my manicure look great at first, it didn’t help...

  Badoit water comes from France , and I decided to try this sparkling water after reading about its supposed health benefits. It’s rich in magnesium, and you probably already know how important that is. Magnesium can help improve sleep and mood, and it's great for your brain and nervous system. Basically, it helps you feel more relaxed. But honestly? I didn’t like the taste.  It just didn’t work for me, so I won’t be buying it again.

One of my favorite concealers is the Sisley Phyto-Cernes Éclat—it’s got botanical extracts and a nice, creamy texture. It comes in a 15ml tube, and I’ve found it gives good coverage for the under-eye area. It doesn’t crease much, which I love. Yeah, it’s pricey, but honestly, I think it’s worth it for the quality.

Both sunglasses are from the South Korean brand Reclow. I came across them by chance while shopping and decided to buy them. The black pair is model F2189, with a total width of 140mm. The brown pair is model E025, and it’s 147mm wide. I bought them because I really liked the designs, and the prices were very reasonable since they were on sale. In general, Reclow products are quite affordable. Although the black sunglasses feel a bit tight on me, I still wear them. I’m glad I bought both pairs—they suit me well, and the materials don’t look cheap. Plus, they offer UV protection. Reclow has a wide range of styles, and I like their overall design aesthetic, so I’m thinking about picking up a few more pairs. If you're looking for stylish yet budget-friendly sunglasses, they might be worth checking out.     Note: This is not a paid promotion, just a personal review. 

I suddenly discovered this product while shopping at the Tonymoly store. It’s a cheap product. The spray's 300 ml volume allows for extended use. I am very satisfied with its effect because it keeps your style in place all day. For instance, if you curl your hair and  u se t his spray, i t will keep your curls in place all day. It’s worth buying as it provides a long-lasting hold.   Note: It is not a promotion.

Ingredients: 500 grams of red cabbage One liter of warm water 30 ml of white vinegar 4 eggs Today is Novruz in Azerbaijan, and I congratulate everyone on the holiday. Every year we dye eggs during Novruz, and now I will show you how I dye eggs naturally. I wash the cabbage and chop it. Then I put the cabbage into the pot filled with water and bring it to a boil  on high heat . When it starts boiling I put my yellow eggs into the pot, add vinegar, and boil them all together  on high heat .  After the eggs are cooked, I turn the heat off.  Then I strain the dye liquid, put the eggs in, and let them sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, I drain the liquid and put the eggs back in the fridge to dry. After they dry, I dip a cotton ball in vegetable oil and wipe the eggs.  That’s it!          

Ingredients: One rice paper 300 ml of warm water 30 drops of food color Vegetable oil Fried rice paper sails are used for cake decorating. It’s easy to make fried rice paper sails. I add 30 drops of food coloring to 300 ml of warm water and mix it well. I use a lot since my food color has low pigmentation, but you can use less if yours has high pigmentation. Then I cut the rice paper in half and leave it in the water until it softens. The rice papers change their color until they soften. I take them, put them on a plate, and leave them to dry overnight. When they dry completely, I heat the pan and put a lot of oil into the pan. The rice papers will not fry properly if you don't put enough oil. Now, I put the rice papers into the pan, and they fry in a few seconds on low heat. After frying the rice papers, they should be placed on a napkin to absorb the oil. And that’s it! The rice paper sails are ready. I think they look so beautiful.

  The Lost City is one of the greatest movies I have ever watched. World-famous stars like Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Radcliffe, and Channing Tatum also participated in the movie. It is a 2022 American comedy/action movie full of funny episodes. An author called Loretta Sage writes romantic adventure books, and the main hero of her books is Dash McMahon. A model named Alan appears on the cover of her books, creating the face of the character Dash. While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta gets kidnapped by a billionaire, Abigail Fairfax, who wants Loretta to help him find an ancient city’s lost treasure called The Crown of Fire, described in one of her books. Loretta describes The Crown of Fire as a diamond headdress in her book. Alan sets off to rescue her… This is a wonderfully romantic movie worth watching on Valentine's Day. You can watch it from beginning to end without getting bored. I recommend this movie to everybody.

  I have combination hair. My scalp is oily, but my hair ends are dry. Finding a good shampoo that can clean your scalp well is not easy. Recently, I purchased Elastine deep cleansing shampoo from one of the marts. This is a product of the Korean brand LG and has an affordable price. It mostly smells of ginger. There is a large amount inside the bottle—600 ml. That’s why you can use it for several months, which is great. I hoped it would clean my hair properly, but it didn’t; grease was always left on my scalp. That’s why I will not purchase it again. I don’t recommend this product to anybody else.

I watched the movie ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ a few days ago. It was a romantic comedy movie full of life lessons. A young lady called Rebecca Bloomwood was a shopaholic, and her addiction brought a few challenges to her life. She was in serious debt due to her shopping addiction. Rebecca Bloomwood started to work as a financial journalist for Successful Savings magazine. She was writing articles for the magazine under the moniker 'The Girl in the Green Scarf' and was pretty successful at work. Her articles became very popular. She didn’t tell her coworkers, even the guy she loved, about her obsession with shopping, and the debt. But someday it was revealed. Everybody was disappointed, and things got worse. But then the situation changed in Rebecca’s favor, and the movie ended positively. I recommend everybody to watch ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic.’ It has many emotional, touching, and funny scenes. You won’t waste time by watching it.

I recently watched the movie My Christmas Family Tree. It was an emotional movie with touching episodes.  A young lady named Vanessa Hall, who had no family, took a DNA test and found her biological father. She contacted him and traveled to her biological father, Richard, and his family's home for Christmas. I loved how Richard and his wife welcomed Vanessa. During the holiday, the DNA testing company called and told her they made a mistake and mixed up her results with another one from Vanessa Hall. She got upset with this news. I thought the story ended here, but no. The story had a positive and surprising ending. I am not going to tell you the ending because you can lose your interest in watching.  I enjoyed watching "My Christmas Family Tree," and I strongly recommend you watch this movie, as it is very interesting.

I will make this decoration from thick A4 paper, but I recommend you make it from thin A4 paper. I didn’t buy a new one because I already had thick paper at home, but when you make it with thin paper, it’s easier to fold and cut, and it comes out neater. So, let’s get started! I fold the top left corner of the paper down, and I cut out the part I marked. Then I fold it in half and open it again. I fold the left and right sides from bottom to top. I fold the left and right sides from the sides to the middle and cut out the part I marked. I fold the left and right sides from the sides to the middle, and cut out the part I marked.    The top of the paper is raised, so it looks diagonal, but actually, I cut it straight.  I draw a picture like this on the paper, and I cut out the parts I marked.  It looks beautiful.  

  The movie is based on the true story of Natascha Kampusch. A  psychopath called Wolfgang kidnapped her and held her captive in the cellar for eight years. He was beating and torturing her and didn’t allow her to get out of the cellar. After some time Wolfgang began to rape Natascha. The psychopath handcuffed her hands with a cable tie before rape. Once Natascha tried to commit suicide by lighting a fire, but Wolfgang realized her attempt and beat her again. She suffered a lot during captivity. By watching the movie, you’ll get to know whether Natascha could get out of this situation or not. I was impressed by Natascha's story, and I was surprised that such things happen in life. I highly recommend everybody watch this movie, as it is very interesting. 

  If you’re into Korean skincare, you’ve probably heard of Dr. Jart —they’re known for creating high-quality products. One of my favorites is the Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution Hydro Water Cream . This gel-type cream is suitable for all skin types, and it’s dermatologically tested, so you know it’s gentle and safe on your skin. I’ve already used up an entire jar, and I can honestly say my skin feels so hydrated and smooth. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling plump and glowing. I love how it gives my skin that boost of hydration that lasts all day. If you’re looking for a deeply hydrating, lightweight moisturizer that does the job, I recommend giving this one a try.   Note: This is not a paid promotion, just a personal review.
