When it comes to her more recent projects, she is a star, a new face of Jean Paul Gautier’s Scandal a Paris fragrance. What is the most special to her is the scent of a pear that is her earliest memory. This reminded her of the pear tree she had in the garden back in her home town, village to be precise. What instantly connected her to Scandal a Paris is the mixture of pear, with jasmine and honey. Another memory that Scandal a Paris evoked is the scent of pancakes which her grandmother use to prepare to her and her sister. This all represents a special moment for her as this is connected to her happiest memories from the childhood.
As she recently explained, the perfume is a primary to her everyday routine. She added that she has a very simple beauty regimen and she is of the opinion that the fragrance is the final touch that gives the clear picture of your look which can complement your personality.

Working with Jean Paul Gaultier
As she explained, she was always very fond of the Jean Paul Gaultier and his legacy. What attracts him to her was his fearlessness and boldness to create strong and provocative styles and forms. So it was only logical move to accept the invitation to become a part of Scandal a Paris.
Irina recently stated that it was the privilege to meet the industry icon who is marvelous artist, extremely talented but still firmly standing on the ground with both his feet. Meeting him was something she could just dream about 10 years ago let alone shooting pictures or becoming the face of his fragrance.
Modern femininity and how important is to be confident
For Irina, the beauty is much more than being a pretty face and good looking body. In the recent interview she said that she firmly believe that the real beauty really comes from the inside. As she stated, she is really happy to see that now in the fashion world where the women are truly beautiful with the charisma, with the strong personalities and with various body types.

The modern woman has the vast area of possibilities to work on herself. You can meet independent women at any corner of the word with magnificent stories of their lives and success. In this period of time, she is of the belief that a woman can achieve anything, there are no limits whatsoever.
Has the beauty regimen changed after becoming a mother
It is hard to tell that anything changed in the terms of beauty regimen. She always took time for herself and this did not change.
At night, she remove all her makeup before going to sleep. This is the most important part of the beauty regimen. It is important as she wears the makeup on a daily basis. Afterwards, she applies the hydrating moisturizer.
During the morning, she enjoys in using the ice cubes to hydromassage her face which helps her to wake up and refresh the skin. This is the trick she learnt from her mother. After that comes the SPF which is followed by the light moisturizer. One of the favourite is Dr. Barbara Sturm and then she uses a bit of Marc Jacobs Concealer for the under-eye area. Then follows the lip balm. The huge part of the daily procedure is to intake a lot of water on a daily basis.
However, if she was allowed to bring only one product while leaving the house, she would take SPF without any doubt as she likes to protect her skin and she never leaves the house without putting the sunblock.
What it looks like to take some time for self-care
It is highly important to have the time for yourself. Even if you have a busy schedule. She likes to use the “me-time” to go to gym, to take a hot bath, or to put a face or hair mask. It helps her relax which charge the batteries to keep going.
She also has the advice for her daughter. It is very simple yet valuable advice. Never to give up and to always believe in herself. It is the recipe for the success, something she followed which brings her to where she is today.
