If you've been feeling like the mirror doesn't recognize you anymore - your face is puffier, your eyes look more tired, your skin has lost its glow - it's not necessarily aging.

Does face serum really work? Why doesn't my skin look any better after weeks of use?
Makeup trends 2026 are a turnaround. After years of makeup restraint, where shine, naturalness and minimalistic reality corrections ruled, this year turns away from the neutral palette and invites us into an era of maximalism.

And it doesn't hurt if the stance includes glitter, a matte lip line and eyeliner that reaches deep into the dark.

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in your bathroom and thought that you could create something truly revolutionary with them? Don't say anything further, but you probably already have a beauty duo at home that the fashion industry would be happy to wrap in a 100-euro branding. It's - hold on - Vaseline and coffee. Two everyday ingredients that together create a surprisingly powerful beauty treatment capable of competing with some of the most hyped products on the market.
Let's be honest. We all love that feeling when we pull something golden, shiny, and heavy with Dior on it out of our purse. It instantly makes us feel like our lives are running according to the script of the TV series Emily and Paris. But, let's be even more honest - spending 40 euros and more on a mixture of sugar and Vaseline is a financial masochism that we will hardly be able to afford in 2026 (you know, inflation and the need for martinis). So the only solution is a DIY lip scrub.
Lips appear thinner and less defined with age. Is it possible to restore their definition with simple makeup?
