May Favorites!

May in Boston was an unpredictable weather changing month. It was warm and sunny in the morning but quickly changed to cold and windy afterwards. My skin was so dry and rough as the weather was unstable... However, the weather is pretty hot outside right now, which is actually worse, but anyway, I'll go ahead and get started with my May Favorites!! I'll provide real photos of these really soon!

1/ Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover

The first product that I really like is this Instant Nail Polish Remover from Sephora. This will take you less than 1 minute to remove all of your nail polish! No cotton pads, no pouring, all you have to do is stick one finger at a time and wiggle around a bit and you're done! Perfectly perfect! However, for glitter nails and gel nails, it might take a bit longer but it doesn't really matter! I tried it out that Sephora and I was amazed! Totally in love with this one! Plus, you only have to pay $9.50 to own this baby, it worths it! :)

This is how it looks inside... There's like a small hole in the center. You just have to stick one finger at a time and wiggle around a bit! 

2/ Dior Vernis Nail Polish in Red Royalty

I actually got this one along with the Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover. I love the color so much. C'mon! It's summer, who doesn't love bright colors? Especially red! And this red color is just perfect; it's not too dark and not too bright, I can't wait to wear this color outside!! The texture is pretty smooth, dense and gel-like. 

Gorgeous design and lovely color :) Still didn't have a chance to try it on :(

3/ Philosophy: Hope in a Jar

This is my new favorite daytime moisturizer. It's light-weighted, hydrated and blends out really fast. This one works so well for my dry skin. There's nothing much I can say about this product besides the fact that I totally love it! :) However, you guys should really try it out before buying it because it also depends on your skin types as well. Some products might cause redness, itchiness and irritation to your skin so please be aware! 

This moisturizer absorbs to my skin quickly. It's very light-weighted and non-greasy. 

4/ Chanel UV Essentiel Soin Protection

Chanel offers the new sunscreen in 3 different SPFs: 20, 30 and 50. I got the 30 one. My mom always tells me not to buy sunscreen with a high SPF because it's not good for your skin so I went with 30 instead of 50. One thing that I love about this oil-free matte sunscreen is it blends and dries really quick! Some other sunscreens give me the the feeling of greasiness which I extremely hate. It's summer! You don't wanna feel greasy, do you? Plus, this one has a nice smell, flora-like, just like other Chanel products, but it will disappear after a few minutes. It also works as a BB cream because it gives a nice skin texture after applying. I have been using it since the beginning of May and it has never caused breakouts. 

The formula dries really quick; It also lightens your skin tone a bit but leave a minimal white cast (doesn't give you the "ghost" cast in photos)

5/ Yves Saint Laurent: Rouge Volupté Shine in 12 Coral Incandescent - Bright Canjun Coral

I love YSL lipsticks, so creamy, moisturizing, and long-wearing. The texture of the lipstick is rich and smooth. And the smell is absolutely awesome, it smells so good that sometimes it becomes addictive. I actually prefer YSL lipsticks over Chanel lipsticks. Chanel lipsticks are creamy but when they are not smooth. If you have dry lips, like I do, you will hate Chanel lipsticks because they are not that moisturizing. And I totally love this color (sorry I'm red biased!). FYI, this color is not actually coral, this is more of a peachy red color. You will love your lips after applying it on, it will look natural and shiny without looking greasy or feeling sticky, it even tastes good sometimes! My all-time favorite lipstick! :) 

I love the design, elegant and 'expensive looking' :)

Swatch

6/ Neutrogena Ultra-Soft Eye Makeup Remover Pads

This eyes makeup remover pads is cute and effective; it contains 30 large soft pads inside. It's soft, soothing, gentle, non-greasy, and oil-free. It's perfect for the eyes area. It's not irritated and itchy, at all. Sometimes, I even use it to remove the makeup around my face because it's super gentle yet effective! I actually prefer this one over the Neutrogena Oil-free Cleansing Wipes (Pink Grapefruit). The Pink Grapefruit is too strong for my sensitive skin that it caused irritation sometimes. This one is absolutely one of my favorite makeup remover!
