MONTHLY PICKS - APRIL 2016
JAY'S PICK
As the temperature slowly increases,
the time I spend outside also goes up. Using sunscreen everyday is vital for
your skin's health in the long run. I am a strong believer in using SPF
everyday, as it will save your skin from wrinkles, sunspots and damage in the
future. Shiseido's Ultra Sun Protection Lotion for face and body is ideal for
sports usage but the consistency is so light and not sticky that I find it's okay
for daily use as well! It doesn't leave a white cast
and definitely does not have the strong sunscreen smell. It works
great under make up and is extremely water resistant (bottle says up
to 80 minutes). Wet Force also means that once the sunscreen touches the water,
the SPF actually gets stronger and increases (hence the SPF 50+). If you guys are
going out for activities this summer, give this sunscreen a try!
Price: $49
**For everyday use try: Shiseido Urban Environment Oil-Free UV Protector SPF 42 for Face
Color:
Medium Deep
This
volumizing fiber gel "mascara" for your brows claims to be a pomade
and eyebrow gel in one product. With my light and sparse Asian eyebrows, I'm
always looking for a product that will give me the look of full brows and stays
all day. Benefit's Gimme Brow's tiny fibres in the brush add on a lot
of volume to my brows and lasts all day! It is seriously a godsend product that
I find I can't live without anymore! I generally like to apply it first and
fill in the body of my brows, and then go in with an eyebrow pencil to fill in
specific parts for a clean shape.

LENA'S PICK
I have very sensitive skin, so I find that a lot of exfoliants are a bit too harsh on my skin. However, Cure Natural Aqua Gel's unique and gentle formula has led me to stick to this exfoliant for over a year now. It has a watery-gel consistency and does not have any beads like a lot of other exfoliants. This exfoliant is frangrance-free, color-free, and preservative-free. Unlike most exfoliants, it doesn't use strong chemicals to remove dead skin. Instead, it uses activated hydrogen water to gently remove dead skin, leaving the skin extremely smooth. I find that this exfoliant also helps with healing my acne scars!
Exfoliating your skin is an important part of skin care, and I definitely recommend this one!

Dior Eyeshadow Palette
For my everyday eye make up, I usually stick to warm neutral tones. I love how this palette is small and compact, allowing me to throw it into a purse, and yet still have all the shades I need to create my natural eye make-up look. The formula is quite long-lasting and smudge-proof. I use the bottom two shades the most, and the top right as a tearduct highlighter. The pink eyeshadow is nice for when you want a subtle pop of colour!
I'm also in love with the packaging , and how the shadows are laid out. This 5 colour eye shadow palette comes in lots of other colour combinations, so you should definitely check them out!
Price: $72
