May Favorites...

I can't believe it's mid 2011.
It's crazy,
but what can we do other than enjoying each and every day...


I was thinking I don't have anything to put it in my May's Favorite list, but actually I do!


I love my Elf Translucent Mattifying Powder
for shine control (I already hit the pan)


I love the smell of Benefit Coralista blush,


I love my Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette
that can erase every imperfection


I love my Hard Candy tinted moisturizer
that can cover up all my blemishes (but not acne scars)

I love my Smashbox Photo Finish Oil-Free Primer
because it has this silky smooth feeling to it


I love my new eye cream from
Origins - A perfect world for eyes
that has a silky smooth & has a long lasting moisturizing effect and it smells great

I like that my new moisturizer
Origins Balanced Diet
calmed my skin and moistured
and I have almost no shine when I wake up or during the day

I love my Watson's Witch Hazel as a toner
that treats blemishes and it's the cheapest most effective toner ever!


I am in love with Boot's No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser that makes me face super clean


I like Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub
that makes my face super soft and moistured
but kind of harsh for my sensitive skin


I like my Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant scrub
because it's so soft and gentle on my skin

I love Mario Badescu Whitening Mask to erase acne scars and smells A-MA-ZING!


I like the smell of Neutrogena oil-free dry sun block


Non-beauty related May Favorite....

I love Panera's decaf coffee
and I don't even drink decaf. Imagine that!
(I'll miss it like crazy when I go back home :(  )

Freckles...Like it or Hate it...

I bought Neutrogena sunscreen recently. 
...because I realized my forehead was burnt when I went for a walk in the nearby town park and all my freckles came back with all their powers.

This is not acceptable for me. 

Although people find it cute, 

if you are not born with it, freckles are not healthy! 

You get freckles when sun damages your skin cells. 

Besides, I don't like having brown spots on my face as if I am a British hunter dog. 

So, this summer my new task is to tan while protecting my skin, 

because I know that I can get burned no matter what. 

At least I should be able to keep the brown spots away. 

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock Dry Touch SPF 30 (oil-free) smells really amazing, 

but I didn't like the texture of the cream; 

it's really thick (but you don't feel it on your face). 

So, I use just a little bit and I don't know if it's enough?
