How EXPENSIVE is it to be a Woman in Astana, Kazakhstan?

[@madina-q9l]

ЖАНЫЫЫМММ SHE KNOWS KAZAKH. I am really proud of you

[@GirlGoneLondon]

I moved from Europe to Kazakhstan 6 months ago and wow, the beauty standards in this country are insane!

[@Saya-jd9mw]

😊tell more please what did u notice???? What standards

[@bayas1302]

What standards?

[@rockyjourneys]

Yes, they're different than other parts of the world

[@johannafeminist1745]

Yeah! I live in Almaty, Kazakhstan, I'm Kazakh, and I've never worn makeup. I find many of my fellow countrywomen looking vulgar or not at all well-groomed. I prefer to spend money on going to the gym than on cosmetics. My hair has never been extremely long. When my hair was long, I had a mohawk and hung out with punks. I still have a nose piercing and have often been fired from jobs because of my piercings or denied jobs. These beauty standards are dictated to women by men. A guy on Tinder once told me I was unkempt because I didn't do Brazilian hair removal. By the way, this guy was a Pashtun from Afghanistan and it was funny for me to hear his criticism, given that there are no beauty or hair removal salons in his home country. But even such guys quickly get used to the fact that most young women in Kazakhstan are ready to look like cheap whores for the sake of the redneck. So I only date guys from the US and Europe. Muslim men also consider it shameful to give a woman cunnilingus. So I vote for the Americans and the French lovers! Screw Islam! 🎉

manicure, pedicure, styling with brush, eyelash extensions or eyelash lamination, eyebrow lamination, makeup, facial skin care (skin care products, maybe also cosmetologist services such as facial cleansing, peeling), spa and massage, sports, some have lip augmentation, and permanent eyebrow makeup procedures are also famous

[@ahast772]

Thank God, she is alive (i kinda missed her, honestly speaking - she is cute :)

[@jessicadoyle5613]

I don't do false nails (for various reasons) but if I ever do decide to get a manicure, I am absolutely going full-on fake and outré like you did.

[@rockyjourneys]

YESSSSSS

[@englishinuse8632]

Prices in Almaty are expected to be higher than your first price list

[@rockyjourneys]

I should go check it out, but also I don't want to spend even more money haha

[@coolfunnybunny]

The make up is aweeesome!! 🙌🏻😍

[@oddinvalter3706]

I missed you Rocky

[@maxh7637]

Glad you're back, looking as young as when you first arrived to Astana.

[@beksultan_zhailaubay]

I tell one thing, you looks better without make up! But i liked your hair tho)

[@Nord4106]

Come on, you had eyebrows better before these! But that's it's just only my sight of view. I may be wrong, but I liked the eyebrows more in their previous form.

[@322-Dota2]

stop fighting against the nature and embrace natural beauty. Will be cheaper. all I did wash my hair, cut my nails, holy moly I look BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@wraith_wr]

Hey there! Hey Nilu! :]

[@Carus1111]

You look like Adel with that makeup. Just go to the scene and start singing😊

[@johannafeminist1745]

Wow! It’s as if you have gone through some Kazakhization rites. You have a manicure, long hair, in your closet there is a super warm down jacket with a hood against the steppe cold, there is ayran and meat in your refrigerator. I congratulate you on finding your inner Kazakh girl ❤😊 ... I look further.

[@ivaiva4657]

7:14 you look a bit like Billie Eilish 😂

[@adammmyn777]

Макияжсыз да сұп-сұлусыз😄😍

[@behappy2931]

Маникюр мен кірпік, қас жасатпаймын, кейде боянып жүремін. Бет күтімі косметикасын күн сайын қолданамын. Қазақстанда жақсы бет күтімі және макияж косметикасы сататын жақсы дүкен жоқ. Көп жерде копия немесе сапасы нашар косметика сатады. Сондықтан сапалы зат алу үшін көп ақша керек😅.

[@wraith_wr]

@rockyjourneys Happy Birthday!

[@rockyjourneys]

Thank you!

[@АлександрНаборщиков-ь1б]

Сәлем. Калайсыз? ❤❤❤

[@aliyashainazarova3117]

well you should see Almaty nail designs, not nude at all lol

[@myhar.anayar]

Hi, i love ur videos. But would you say the next time while pronounsing Astana not "Astàna" it's like "Astanà"

[@tanatkan4924]

Your first video, which I did not watch to the end. Not very interesting for a man))). At the same time, your charm and English remained, which for some reason I really like.

[@EverythingUcanImagineIsReal]

✌🏻🫰🏻😋

[@Асия-п5ю]

Thats a basic list of treatments, but not a full list of treatments women do..cosmetology..ems treatments to keep up body shape..spa saloons..lots of expensive makeup products...also some girls do plastic surgery..vinirs for a perfect teeth..and not to forget branded clothing and accessories...probably there even more stuff to keep up beauty😅

[@rockyjourneys]

Yes the stuff you mentioned is also common. It's just harder to quantify makeup, teeth, and clothes since those things are not done/bought on a monthly/regular basis. Thanks for the insight :)

I’m a man and I cut my hair for 12k each month. Almaty.

I fucking love you

[@pherdeenand2855]

Отличная девушка.

[@bs-jh8bd]

u look tired... very tired

[@annasin90]

The most I spend on is skincare - have no idea how much it costs per month as some stuff lasts me for several months (oils and stuff) but I ALWAYS buy it with a discount. Highly concentrated skincare products are expensive. 🥲 I also started shedding from stress, so I buy expensive hair growth shampoos now, too, lol. So, 40k per month for hair+face+body?

[@annasin90]

Also, my millennial friends regularly spend money on fillers - not a universally common but a growing in popularity procedure. Botox or hyaluronic acid type of filler is quite popular amongst 35+ lady pops. That varies in price depending on where on the face they use it - forehead, smile creases, chin and lips are their favourite.

[@rockyjourneys]

Yes, I thought of fillers as well, but I really didn't want to start any medical procedures. Therefore they're not in the video, but I will definitely say the number of women here in KZ with visible lip filler is higher than other places I've been to.

[@airu2729]

Rocky became VIP American 😂🫶 honestly women are already beautiful and spend fairly amount of their money for beauty procedures but now it’s becoming more and more crazy with tattooing lips for red color 😭 I guess because people got bored with their faces
