Some good music!

Christmas Wishes!

Bilka Skincare

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

I wish you a warm, loving, nurturing Christmas for your body, heart and soul!

I spent the day listening to music and dancing.  How is your Christmas?

Impatient heart, I'm already making plans for the new year.  
What will you do, what is your plan?  

What did 2012 mean to you and how do you intend to carry on in 2013?

A . 2012 was a year of new beginnings and ends for me, a  lot of things happening outside my control, and a lot of things happening not to my liking.  I told you about my beloved James Bhavaji, in my post The Strong Kind of Love, he came into my life with a lot of promise and all fizzled out into something vague and subtle as he called it "a subtle kind of love".  No thank you, that is not what I want for myself, and I would rather have no love at all than have that flat indifference that was coming from him.  So Number 1 priority for me this year is to get the kind of love that I deserve and that I believe every woman deserves - the Strong Kind of Love.  Wait, you may ask, how do you get something which does not depend on you or at least not entirely?  Well, watch this space - I will tell you. I am more determined than ever to get the love that is long overdue to me, and I will do everything in my power to get it.  He he - that is the factor that depends on me. I think the other factor - what does not depend on me will have to assist me.  I strongly believe that when our wish is sincere the universe will conspire to assist us, or in my personal belief God will help.  
So I am more open than ever for the love of my life, I feel more deserving and more longing for the true romance that will sweep me off my feet and create the sparkle in my life I so much need!
Priority A1, which is very much linked to priority A, for me is to reconnect to my physical and spiritual self, to start doing more things for my well-being, and to stop working so hard.  Or stop working hard doing boring things, and do more of the things that nourish my soul, spirit and heart - listening to music, dancing, singing, going out with friends, writing, meditating....
2012 was a bad year for my soul, had to do lots of boring things such as accounts, submitting VAT returns every three months, speaking to the sexy  (not ) tax advisors at hmrc on the phone every day for some time - couldn't go to bed until I've had my daily fix of an hmrc phone call.  So I learned how to do vat returns, and learned how to do bookeeping, and while doing that - yoga classes stopped, dance classes stopped, music did not sound good any more and meditation was unthinkable luxury.  In other words - I seriously neglected my body, spirit, heart and soul.  Is it worthy?  May be a year of sacrifice, but not more than that.  This year is going to be different.  I owe this to my myself.  Before we want to be loved, liked, respected by others,  it is good to ask  ourselves what do we do to care for our feminine natures, to honour our divine feminine essence?  How do we want to be valued and cherished by men if we don't value and cherish ourselves?
So Priority A3 for me this year will be to give myself a bit more self-love and pampering - one day a week compulsory rest and when possible spa, massage, aromatherapy, and anything my heart desires.  One day a week at least. My grandfather used to say: "Work is not a rabbit to run away" he he but life is, and if don't catch it now, it will run away, leaving us empty-handed and regretful of the missed opportunities to enjoy life.  As honouring our divine feminine natures is honouring life itself.  Let us all celebrate ourselves and each other, pour generous dollops of love on ourselves and each other, and the world will thank us for that.  We are not doing anyone any favours by being over-worked, self-neglecting and bound by duties and responsibilities.

Let's Make 2013 the Year of Love, Caring, Compassion, Kindness, Joy, Passion, and let's begin by practising these virtues towards ourselves first!

The Strong Kind of Love


Another day in the office, another half-hearted email from Mr Not so Interested.  "How is your day?"  "Day is fine" I reply.  No answer.  I am actually busy, got tons of work to do, and he knows. As if I'm going to start describing 'had few phone calls, one was about.... and the other one was about...' No, that's not my kind of thing, trivia is not my idea of fun, exciting, stimulating conversation that will set my heart on fire. Anyway he should be replying by now why isn't he?  What is his problem - he asked me a boring question, got a boring answer.  The question determines the answer.  And what is the point of asking someone about their day if you have no intention of making an offer for the evening? I'm not liking this.  What is his intention?  Does he have an intention or just messing about? Time will show - my logical brain reasons.  Hold on, why am I being so passive, waiting for him to do anything and driving myself crazy with over analysing, when I can get all the answers I need in a phone call.  No, I'll do an email - less intrusive and confrontational. "Hey, you asked how my day was like many times before and I replied like many times before.  Then you take ages to reply again like many times before.  Do you think this communication is paving the way to somewhere good?"  Send boom.  

Now Mr Not so Interested is on one those Go with the Flow Guys, Who Knows Where It Might Lead guys.  He is a spiritual coach, teaching people how to meditate, to stop controlling outcomes, to surrender to the greater consciousness behind every mundane event, and to embrace things as they pan out.  

I met him at a time when trying to control anything was absolutely not possible, and I was shown bluntly by the universe how precarious existence is. I was on a roller coaster ride not by own choice and I was scared, but felt alive for the first time in many years.  And that is when I met James, a calm, chilled out, enigma of a man.  He said "I am a yellow lotus flower, whenever you feel scared, visualise a yellow lotus and call my name.  I will come to you and help you".  That was a time when nothing logical, nothing reasonable has helped.  Choppy ice cold waves of circumstances pushing me off my board day in and day out, and I was tired fighting.  So calling the yellow lotus flower was not a problem, that was the only good thing on offer.

James taught me meditation, mantras, chants, told me stories, interpreted my dreams, interpreted the strange events that shook and rocked my otherwise sturdy Taurean balance.  I benefited from the meditation immediately, it was a difficult, demanding meditation, but brought enormous results.  (Happy to reveal that meditation by way to those sincerely interested). I benefited from the chants - saw the fulfilment of long held wishes. And I felt immensely grateful. Then I began to recover the older me, slowly but surely my health returned, vitality, energy, motivation, began to come back. And as I got better I started needing less and less help, and our conversations began to change subjects, switching from higher consciousness to more mundane matters such as what is your favourite food, what are your plans for the weekend and how is your day.  In the beginning it felt amusing, I held him on a pedestal, and was flattered that someone so occupied with spiritual transcendental matters was interested in the ordinary human me. But his trivial messages fell into a groove.  And I concluded that somewhere along the line, he has lost interest, that is all he can summon himself to say. Out of some kind of falsely understood responsibility to keep an eye on me,  as he knows me from the time when I was shaken and vulnerable.  So I am actually angry.  The last thing I need is someone to hang around out of pity. And I want to put this matter straight.  Another email? Wait to see his reply on the previous one.  Got it: "Dearest Louise, See beyond the mundane. If you tune deep within yourself you will feel my love, I love you on a subtle plane".  Wow, dearest James, this was really the wrong thing to say to me, as it really feels and smells like a bullshit, and I am tuned in my divine feminine intuition, which is deeper than the deepest plane. "James, I am not interested in love on the subtle plane, but I like love on the most obvious plane.  I need the love that is passionate and exciting, that gives me wings to fly, the strong kind of love, that ignites my fire.  Not the weak, subtle kind of love." Send.  His reply: "The obvious is not the truth, the truth is hidden".  I reply: "James, you may be right, but that hidden truth is leaving me cold and bored.  I need love like fire, your teacher Yogiraj talks about - LOVE like a dynamite (did you miss that lesson?), that creates sparkle and light, and fun and excitement, and adventure, and passion, and all the extraordinary things that they write books about, a love that is strong and decisive, and very very visible!" 

I don't want to spend my days wondering does or doesn't he love me, but at the moment I wonder.  And when a woman wonders, she knows that her question already contains the answer. As when we are loved - we know it.

Bilka Grape Energy - The Strong Kind of Love




1 December 2012

Tried, Tested, Discovered!


What are your favourite foods and ingredients, which have made your skin better?
And what ingredients in your experience have made your skin worse?

Share your experience with us.  Let's not go by what we know, but go by what we have tried and tested.  No scientific explanation can replace experience and no knowledge can be better than experience.  And in Bilka's laboratories that is what really matters - the test, the result.


Each one of Bilka's products has been rigorously tested for effectiveness before it is launched.  Each product holds a clinical dossier which describes in detail what effects were experienced by the testers.  At the end results are averaged and summarized in percentages.  For example THE firming effect of MAVRUD age EXPERT Intensive Deeply Regenerating Face Cream is reported to be 90% whereas the anti wrinkle effect is reported to be 70%, in other words 90% of participants have reported firming effect and 70% of participants have reported anti-wrinkle effect.

In terms of foods and ingredients, there is very little consistent research out there, and I rely on mine and friends' and consultants' recommendations.  My biggest discovery in the past few years is the detrimental effect of salt on my skin, particularly dark circles and bags under eyes.  I don't know what science says on the subject, but if I have tried and tested this, who is to argue that when I used to eat salt - I had bags under eyes and when I stopped eating salt - bags under eyes disappeared.  Let us all share our good and bad experiences so we can expand our range of tried and tested methods not just theoretical knowledge.

Experience sometimes can contradict science and at the end of the day it is our own choice whose advice we are going to follow - the one based on theory and how it should be or the one based on experience.  Many years ago after losing a lot of weight, my facial skin became thin and my face was gaunt and lifeless like a wax statue's.  Surely that was not the look I was aiming to achieve after so many sacrifices of favourite foods in the name of a slimmer, slenderer figure.  And that experienced showed me that dieting is just not for me.  I wish good luck to anyone who likes to diet and I am sure there are people who do benefit from it, but for my type of skin - dry and thin - slimming diets are just not suitable.  Still having discovered that was not taking me much farther, as I still needed to know if dieting was not helping then what would help.  And I came across an article about a beauty consultant who specialises in knowing how foods affect the skin.  She said - for thin and dry skin - eat butter.  Theoretically that is not a healthy choice.  But, being a strong believer of experience, I tried it.  And the results were great!  The facial skin became stronger and plumper.  No longer the gaunt look, but a healthy, fully fleshed face, looking as if I had just woken up from a long and peaceful sleep.  It worked for me.  Clearly this advice may not be suitable for people with certain health problems which require them to lose weight and to keep fat levels low.  But it works for my thin, dry skin.

MAVRUD age EXPERT Anti-aging skincare with black grapes Mavrud extract

Thus I arrived at Bilka skincare - in the midst of a dry and demanding summer when my skin became exhausted, I came across MAVRUD age EXPERT Anti aging Firming Face Cream and Intensive Anti wrinkle Eye Cream, and tried them sceptically.  The results surprised me: face firmed and lifted only within hours, eyes no longer had the sharp crow lines and the heavy eyelids,  hands restored its original smoothness...  Then back to the shop - Breast Enlarging Firming Gel, Anti cellulite Oil, glided on my hungry skin, food for my skin and my confidence.  The oil made me smell of grapes and feel like I was edible, I adored that comforting, luxury feeling, but when I saw the work it did for my skin, that was when I knew what bio-active ingredients meant.  Only after one use, all dryness was gone, skin looked satiated and nourished, and comfortable being itself.  The Breast Firming and Enlarging gel took a week to show results, and these results made me feel like a winner.  That was the discovery of the decade! Breasts grew larger and became firmer, reshaped into bouncy, happy, fox snouts bursting with life and energy.  

What are the foods and skincare products that work for you?  Share some of your experience!

GET 50% Off Bilka Gift Sets



Bilka skincare launched Gift Sets for the lines MAVRUD age EXPERT, Grape Energy and UPgrape and a free gift wrapping service.  At the moment the gift sets are on a 50% discount deal to help you solve your Christmas gifts dilemmas.  Fast free delivery from UK is also included in the price so what are you waiting for - grab some while the deal is on!  

Alongside the skincare products Bilka Skincare offers advice on the products, which can save you the time and effort trying to figure out which product is for what type of skin, and what it can do for you personally.  Bilka offers products for dry skin that is short of hydration - UPgrape Lifting Face Cream, Aqua Natura Moisturising Face Cream and products for extra dry skin that is very undernourished - Energizing Face Cream, MAVRUD age EXPERT Anti aging Firming Face Cream, so it is useful to drop us a line with your question before buying to ensure that you are getting the right product for yourself.

The inspiration for the gift sets came from our body products: Anti Cellulite Gel, Anti aging Firming Body Cream, Anti cellulite Slimming Oil, Grape Beauty Body Butter and Breast Enlarging Firming Gel which are dedicated to meeting specific needs and may slip your top priorities list otherwise.  So being part of a gift set with a face cream or a facial cleanser, can ease its way to your dressing table carrying a big and surprising reward for your skin.  Surprising because most people tend to be sceptical about the positive effects of products on the skin and me included.  After trying the Breast Enlarging and Firming Gel I was surprised! I really did not know that was possible. But Kigelia, the African plant that expands the size of the breasts, delivers the results, and raises the standards of performance for all of those called bio-active ingredients.

Bilka skincare products do what they say they will do, and in good measure.  The Breast Enlarging Firming Gel does enlarge and firm the breasts, reshaping and beautifying the bust; the Anti cellulite Slimming Oil does smooth the affected skin and encourages slimming as long as we remember that slimming cannot happen unless in combination with sensible eating habits.  The Anti cellulite Oil nourishes the skin to avoid creating stretch marks, as well as it deals with the cellulite areas.  Grape Beauty Body Butter made with shea butter and grape extract feeds a hungry undernourished skin, while the Anti aging Firming body cream tightens and tones the flabby areas around the buttocks, arms or anywhere else as needed.  

To get the best out of these products combine them with a good diet.  Skincare and nutrition are each other's best friends. One cannot overestimate the role foods play in how our body, hair and skin look.

Hi All!

I have seen many good films in my lifetime but the best films I think are those never made, about real people living real life.  Some people's lives are more incredible than the most skilfully constructed story lines.  And each one of us has these incredible experiences to one extent or another.  

Have you had such an experience that is hard to believe, have you had one of those coincidences that makes you wonder what are the odds of this happening, have you had a deja vu or a meeting with the supernatural?  

Share some of these magical moments!  

I get these all the time, almost every day I experience something that makes me struggle to understand it logically.  For example this morning I made eye contact with someone on the crowded tube, hours later I walk in a building and that same person is there, both of us looking in disbelief how that is possible - in a 10 million city - to meet the same stranger twice in one day! This is not a Hollywood comedy, this is real life. 

I find such experiences mind-boggling.  What is the meaning of that? Is there a meaning? What conclusion can be drawn from that?  My logical mind gets into overdrive trying to make some sense of it, but it can't and I give up and go with the flow of feeling wonder and awe at this incomprehensible mystery.  

What is the most incredible thing that has happened to you? Do you see a meaning in it or do you marvel at the infinite vastness of possibilities that manifest to us? 

Share the most incredible experience you have had and get 50% off on a single Bilka body product of your choice + Free delivery anywhere in the world! 

Choose one of five products: MAVRUD age EXPERT Anti aging Firming Body Cream, Grape Energy Anti cellulite Gel, Breast Enlarging Firming gel, Grape Beauty Body Butter or Grape Beauty Anti cellulite Slimming Oil and you will receive a unique individual coupon that will take 50% off the price of your chosen item.

It's all in the eyes

Browsing through my dream man's recent photos on facebook I conclude that life is a crazy roller coaster where no one knows who will win and who will lose till the end and may be not even then! 

We met in 1999, he in a relationship going nowhere, and I in a relationship going nowhere.  We had all the circumstances to start something new and better than our pasts, but it did not happen, for reasons unknown to me.  I spent many hours analysing why it did not happen, and I know less than ever now, but he did remain in my memories as my ideal man, the standard to which I measured everyone else.  Handsome, strong, dynamic, hard-working, he was everything I liked and there was nothing about him that I did not like.  

Today, I don't know what made me go to his facebook profile.  It's not that I missed him.  After so many years my heart has forgotten him.  I no longer have feelings for him.  But I wanted to know how he is.  And given the opportunity by facebook, hey why not? 

Snoop snoop, here is me trespassing his territory, snooping on his photos, status updates, hmm, I feel like a criminal, a thief and worse... 

His intelligence - intact, spirituality - even more advanced - my heart squeezed as I remembered  how wise and sorted out he was even for his young age - his heart always in the right place, dedicated to doing good for others.... His sense of humour, sarcasm, strong opinions hiding a soft heart, and all the sports activities that made me so inspired about him - the wakeboarding, the snowboarding, the ultimate turn on for me is seeing a fit, carefree male on his wakeboard or snowboard! 

I love snowboarding but I can't wakeboard and here he is posting videos of his wakeboarding - how awesome his body is, so fit and masculine!  Then close ups begin, and I see the face of a stranger, someone not who I remember.  Totally changed.  His eyes have lost their sparkle, cheeks have become too full and heavy, skin has lost its lustre.  

Goodness, what happened to these eyes I wrote poetry about.  A poem that was found by the man I was living with at the time, who was a poet and who never saw me writing poetry about anyone or anything.  But he found a poem written by me, about Rene's eyes. And he cried while reading it, as it made us realise that the love between us was over. 

That poem was about Rene's eyes.  And quite rightly so.  His eyes had the sexiest fine lines when he smiled.  The rest of the time - wide open, curious, full of awe for everything beautiful.  Every waking minute I was thinking about Rene. 

Looking at Rene tonight I could not find those eyes. They were smaller, much smaller. And I don't feel that I want to kiss them.  I don't feel like I want to gaze into them.  I feel no attraction, no excitement, no romance towards him. I feel glad that I am not with him.  I feel that if we had got together, we would have split up.  All that wishing to have him had been in vain.  The right thing has happened.  Fate has been kind to me not cruel.  

I am an eyes person.  I appreciate a nice, fit body, but the eyes, only the eyes can do it for me.  I can respect and love someone as a friend on the merit of his personality, but I cannot fall in love unless I like the eyes.  Eyes look attractive when they don't have dark circles, when they are well rested, when are are not red and puffy from too much exposure to the elements or the computer screen.  Laughter lines give a character to the face and make the expression warmer and consequently more attractive, but permanent wrinkles on the skin around the eyes makes them look exhausted all the time.  And all that due to the thin texture of the skin, which makes it more vulnerable, drier and easier damaged than any other skin on the body.  

There are some medical conditions that can contribute to dark shadows and bags under the eyes, and no skincare product can replace  healthy eating and sleeping habits, so this is not a miracle cure for any type of problem, but MAVRUD age EXPERT Intensive Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream comes very close to that with its awesome effect on the eyes. It smooths wrinkles around the eyes, eliminates bags and puffiness, lifts the eyelids gloriously and even when tired and with not much sleep, it make the eyes look wide open and rested.  

Combine this with no salt in the diet, which is one of the biggest causes of bags under eyes and dark circles, and you will see how mighty this product is.  It's the black grapes MAVRUD extract plus the other ingredients that love and care for your skin.  Share your stories with us, about the good and bad experiences you have had with yours or someone else's eyes.

Love,
Bilka.

Grape Energy Breast Enlarging Firming Gel with White Grape and African plant Kigelia

Bilka skincare made with grape extract has a white grape range called Grape Energy which offers a unique Breast Enlarging Firming Gel  made with white grape and African plant Kigelia.  Kigelia stimulates the growth of the breast tissue, and white grape acts as a biological bra - supporting and lifting.  Added together, these mighty ingredients produce a mighty effect!  100% positive feedback, 100% pleased customers so far! Why spend money and put your health and  life at risk when you can achieve results in a natural non-invasive way.  It will enlarge the breasts with up to 2 sizes, not more than that, but it does so effortlessly.  Use it once a day minimum or if you have time use it twice a day.  Put a small amount on your fingers and glide it on the skin with circular upward movements. Then relax and enjoy the benefits.  Not only this breast gel firms and enlarges the breasts, it reshapes them, lifts them, strengthens their support, and smooths the skin beautifully.  This breast enlarging and firming gel does not just improve the look of the breasts, it creates them - it makes the breasts like a work of renaissance art - large, strong, bouncy and full of life.  Look amazing, look as you wish to look!

Is this superficial?

Grape Energy Anti Cellulite Gel


Anti-aging Firming Body Cream 


I get asked a lot what my values are as a human being, and what I make of the fact that beautiful semi-naked women are used to advertise Bilka products, is there anything good and beneficial for  humanity in selling skincare and promoting the perfect body, when there are so many more important problems humanity is facing such as health,  seeking cures to serious illnesses,  building peace amongst nations, wars, economy, and so on.  

My answer is that  beauty has been a human value from the existence of the world, and beauty has inspired artists, philosophers, writers, poets, musicians ... to produce the greatest masterpieces of humanity.  What has been perceived as beauty is a different matter, but beauty has always been one of the values and virtues of humanity.  Today our perceptions of beauty have expanded and I enjoy looking at the statue of  pregnant Alison Lapper like many others, in awe of the dignity of woman  who emanates the highest form of beauty - liberated from any constraints, self-determining beauty that does not beg others for approval but values itself and believes in itself.  So I am very far from seeing the slim toned body as the definition of beauty.  Not every slim and tight body is beautiful, and the spirit of fun and liberation is what attracts me most  in these models.  Now, slim - is something which a lot of women wish to be, and these products were made to meet women's needs, and these are choices which women make, and are free to make.  At Bilka we are well aware that nutrition is paramount to good skin and we do not support the idea that a skincare product can replace good nutrition or good sleep.  We all know of the benefits of those two, plus water, plus exercise, plus regular lifestyle, minus alcohol, minus smoking, minus bad food and so on.  Skincare products work well only in combination with the above factors.  

The skin is our shield against the elements - pollution, dust, dirt, cold, heat, wind,... it takes all these offenders upon itself to prevent them entering our system, and we owe it a bit of care.  How much care we owe it - it is up to the individual to decide, woman or man.  For sure there are so much more important things in life, who cares whether there is a bit of cellulite here and there... But that is a choice made by the owner of the body.  As an owner of my body I choose to treat it as a temple.  I choose to eat good foods and to add cream to it. (see my other articles about eating cream, why it is good for the skin ) I enjoy having nice smooth skin.  It makes me feel good. I enjoy the choice it gives me - to look how I wish to look.  

What is the difference my good feeling and my good looks make to humanity, to solving humanity's problems?  May be a tiny one, but it is there -  I feel good about myself, I like the way I look - I smile more, I make you feel at ease, I feel at ease with myself - I make you feel at ease with yourself.  

Skincare, wanting to be slim, wanting to have a nice skin, are far from superficial things in my view.  It is every person's right, man's or woman's.  I see that a lot of men are turning to using skincare these days.  And internet shopping allows them that comfortably  because there is so much stigma about men using skincare.  I guess a lot of men feel embarrassed to walk in a shop and buy a face cream for women because of all that stigma.  But they do this online comfortable because no one knows them, and no one will judge them.  So those who say that skincare and the cosmetic industry are irresponsible and guilty of exploiting the woman's body for their own commercial needs, see that from another angle - it is also liberating women and men, and giving people the choice to look as they wish to look, giving people the means to create themselves or to rediscover themselves.  If a product such as Anti aging Firming Body Cream is making my skin firm and toned, that helps me bring back the younger looking version of me.  If a product  such as Grape Energy Anti cellulite gel is making my thighs smoother and bottom bouncier, that is helping me create a better shape, which I did not have even when I was younger.  It is giving me the freedom to create my body like a sculpture, where I am the artist, using the tools of the cosmetic industry.  I see this as a fun thing to do.  I enjoy it, love it, it inspires me, it gladdens me when I look in the mirror.  I am not saying that looking pretty is all there is to life.  But it is important to me as a human being to enjoy my life, and when I look good I feel good and when I feel good I enjoy my life more.  Is this superficial? 

Whenever Beauty looks,Love is also there;Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheekLove lights Her fire from that flame.When beauty dwells in the dark folds of nightLove comes and finds a heartentangled in tresses.Beauty and Love are as body and soul.Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.They are togethersince the beginning of time-Side by side, step by step.

Happy Birthday Bilka Skincare!

Bilka UPgrape

As we celebrate 1 year from the birth of Bilka Skincare UK, I'd like to share the spotlight with the manufacturers Krasnaya Linia - translated Red Line - "the preferred brand of some of the most glamorous and hard to please women to be found anywhere. They are discriminating, tasteful, fine skinned, powdered, perfumed and pampered – these are “Real Russian Beauties”. They are experienced enough to give lessons in the proper use of cosmetics and perfumes." - an extract which I got from the internet. Although
 I'm not in that category of maintenance, I needed good products just as much - the busier and the less time we have to maintain ourselves, the more the need for effective products that do the job they promise to do and that erase the signs of the passage of time on our skin and our failings to look after ourselves. 

When my skin was dry and sallow at the end of last summer, I came across Bilka Mavrud age Expert face cream, it said "Intensive, Regenerating" on the tin, and captivated by the natural heady aroma of the black grapes, I spread it on my skin. Within days my skin was perked up and rejuvenated, looking younger than ever! Then I ran to the shop and got the Mavrud age Expert eye cream. Intensive, regenerating, anti-wrinkle - hm that's exactly what I needed if it were true... I was just as delighted with its natural grapes fragrance as with its effects - lifted my heavy tired eyelids and widened my eyes, smoothed the lines around the eyes, strengthened the skin under the eyes which tends to get thin and vulnerable... I was enchanted. 

Then called Krasnaya Linia and we took it from there. After a year of Bilka Skincare UK, we have 100% positive feedback from our customers and glad to deliver products which meet the needs of women (and men) around the world. I'm so pleased that men are also benefiting from Bilka products. We still maintain our 100% money back policy if a customer is not satisfied with a product. We take pleasure in delighting customers with excellent service, which is pretty easy to maintain at the same time - so far we have not had any disappointed customers. 

Happy Birthday Bilka Skincare!

Goodness! Bilka Skincare UK is 1 year old in a few days! 

We are alive and survived! That is all I can say, which is 

better than nothing. Incredible year, the worst and the bes

in my life at the same time, one crazy rollercoaster, but I'm 

loving every second and today I celebrate not success, as 

we are far from it yet, but the Entrepreneur's Spirit - 

refusing to give up, regardless the knocks and the knock 

outs, getting up and trailblazing to a brighter future! I 

celebrate Energy, Freedom, Creativity, Passion - the 

qualities which flowered in me since I left my stifling job 

and became Alive. Thank you everyone who helped us in the 

past year, friends and business contacts, I am so blessed to
