My new makeup removing system: Eye-Sonia Kashuk, it removes so easily and gently. I used Netrigenia  and Lancome, Clique…… I think this one works the best; Face-Auqa Way super off makeup remover, best face makeup remover. It is a gel femoral, so won’t clog pore or cause breakout, it can melt all face makeup without feeling grease. I was looking for a face makeup remover for a long time, I feel oil is too heavy, and cream is not power enough for foundation and sun screen. If I don’t wear very heavy eye makeup, I would use this one for eye also, and it does wonder !I am picky on this, but i am in love with this one. Thanks to my dear friend, she found it first in an Asian store, and got this one for me. I found it online too, so if you have the same concern as me, try this one~~~I highly recommended them.

I have been using this Skin 79 BB cream for 2 months. I have sensitive,  dry, acne-prone skin. So I am picky about my face product. I need coverage due to my acne, and hyper pigmentation. I was wearing medium coverage foundation everyday, I used Chanel, Laure Mercier silk creme foundation, Nars Sheer glow…. they work well, but I don’t think wearing foundation daily is a good idea, my skin is so dry and dull after I remove my foundation.  Like other  BB cream, this one is in between of foundation and and tinted moisturizer. It gives me enough coverage ( I still use concealer after this for my spot),  and my skin is glowy and natural. My skin look better with and without makeup. BB cream is such a wonderful choice, I look forward to trying more in the future.. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. One concern-BB cream doesn’t not have a good color range, and it may give a gray cast right after application, but it gets better after oxidize. This one is not bad for my skin tone. I wish they can come out more choices for tan skin….

Murad Acne treatment concealer Great coverage, lasting power, natura look. I am not sure if it can treat my ance, but it doesn’t irritate my active ance or make it wore. It contains 2.0% Salicylic Acid, Polyphenols, so I think it is better for ance skin than the regular concealer. and.  Cons is that it only has 2 colors, light and medium. Mine is medium.

Love Revlon lip butter, I believe I don’t need to say more good staff about it… Moisturizing, sheen, great color selection. Great for everyday use..Color I have Tutti fruit (great summer, spring color), berry, pink truffle (fall color)

Versace Bright Crystal perfume, this floral, fresh, feminine is perfect for spring~~

This is one of my most exciting new finds recently-Oatmeal cleanser. Right-it is the oatmeal we eat for breakfast, the cheapest, and easiest product you can find….I use it 3-4 times a week after I use my regular cleanser (Cetaphil), so it works as my exfoliator/deep cleaner. I add some warm water to make it wet in my palm, and gently meassage my face with it. Oatmeal is such a GREAT ingredient for skin. It contains Vitamin-B, mineral, that’s why many skincare products use it . It calms my sensitive skin, I feel my skin is so soft and clean every time. It is wonderful for sensitive, dry, ance prone skin-which is perfect for me. The oatmeal I use is Quaker instant oatmeal, since it is easier to scrub. It is definitely worth a try-let me know if you like it too:)

First Aid Beauty-FAB Ultra repair cream and FAB Facial Radiance pads

I found this awesome products in Sephora, the BA hightly recommended them to me. I am so happy about this purchase. I have dry, sensitive, acne prone skin.  They are so simple but work for my skin.

Oatmeal is used in this cream, and I said enough good things about oatmeal in my Oatmeal cleanser post. The cream is so rich but not greasy, hydrating,  easy to absorb, calming, gentle, long-lasting. My makeup lasts longer since my skin is more balanced after using this cream. 

The Facial pad is great for deep cleaning,  and exfoliating my skin. I use it 3 times a week before I apply cream, it is especially good for a heavy makeup day. It refreshes and brights my skin, and even out my skin tone.

Another plus is the product is so a affordable, you can find some awesome kit in Sephora, they are almost as cheap as drug store products.
