Spring break beauty shopping in Cancun,Mexico !!!!

I went to Cancun,Mexico in March and had so much fun!!! I stayed for 6 days 5 nights in Live Aqua resort. I really recommend this resort, it's all-inclusive!! Everything that you eat,drink,sleep and swim are FREE with high quality service. Just fall in LOVE with it and don't wanna leave...
There are many stores in Cancun, from Zara to Louis Vuitton. There is also a duty free cosmetic store(forgot the name) and a department store named Liverpool. There is no sephora, but has a Ultrafemme,which is just like sephora! 

These are what I got in Cancun. I also bought a Kiehls drawing paste which is discontinued in US. The price of cosmetic products is cheaper than in US because of currency rate and tax.



I bought a Chanel le blanc cream. Le blanc series is very good at brightening, which I really need it after sunburned. 
And I got a sample of le blanc serum, the little white sample jar. And two perfume samples,one is no.19 and another is Allure. They are both smell so good !!!


It's actually the first time I bought Bobbi Brown skincare products. I usually buy eye makeup. 
But after I tried the skincare products, I began to buy a lot.... lol...
I bought the latest brightening series product, a brightening toner. I didn't buy the cream because I got the Chanel cream.


 Also I bought the long last makeup remover for my waterproof makeup during spring break.


I also got samples from Bobbi brown. 
They are both from the extra brightening series, one is serum the other is cleanser.

Moisturizer is another thing I need after sunburned. So I choose Kiehls ultra series. This is a package only 55 US dollars,one regular size overnight mask, one regular suze facial cream, deluxe sample of toner,and some samples of cleansers and SPF 15 moisturizer. 


I also bought a drawing paste, an anti acne and blemish mask, discountinued in U.S. I never tried it before. 



I also got lots of sample of Kiehl's,
 I have corrective dark spot serum, bb cream,epidermal micro-dermabrasion , ultra facial cream.

Eve Lom travel essential kit review.(eve lom入门套装超详细解说--卸妆 膏,急救面膜,TLC面霜,洗面乳)

This will be a long article about Eve Lom.
People say Eve Lom is the best makeup remover in the world.
I have to admitted that I want this package since I knew Eve Lom three months ago.  I've been read tons of reviews about all Eve Lom products online.
Most people have extremely high recommendation about the cleanser, TLC radiance cream, the rescue mask and the hydrated mask. But some people say the cleanser causes blemish and breakouts.
This is what I'm worried about--breakouts. I had terrible skin at that time, when the weather was weird and spring was coming.
This was the major reason I didn't get the EveLom products when I first heard of it.
Another reason was the price, it's not an affordable price for everyone.An 100ml cleanser is $135 plus tax.But there are many sales at online beauty shops, so I will get one when there is sale.
I got this package a month ago, on b-glowing.com with a 20%off discount.
Regular price is $95 plus tax.

This package includes the 5 most popular products of Eve Lom with a white makeup bag.
One cleanser(makeup remover),one morning cleanser,one rescue mask,one TLC radiance mask and a muslin cloth. This is a great valued package for people are interested in Eve Lom and wanna try some samples before they buy the regular size. 

好了,终于写了一篇eve lom的用后感了~~哈哈.
我查看了网上很多评论,大部分都是超高的评分,极力推荐各种产品. 大家都说eve lom是世界上最好的卸妆膏...弄的我心痒痒啊~~ 不过,也有人说用完之后发现爆痘!! 这个是我最怕的啊!!!之前爆发过一次,好不容易用murad消停下来了,我可不想又爆发!
纠结了很久,还是觉得买买先试试吧. 毕竟每个人皮肤不一样~
最近很多online shop都有八折,所以就觉得等等打折的时候买好了~终于,被我发现b-glowing打八折了,有的卖eve lom哦~而且还有paul & joe...
每次买新产品的时候,我都会建议妹子们买travel size的套装,可以试到四五种产品,看看哪个适合自己,要是喜欢的话才买regular size正装的.买到不喜欢的感觉很鸡肋的产品,也不会太无言,毕竟只是小size而已...所以这次,我买了eve lom的旅行套装,四件bestseller产品,一块eve lom洗面棉布,和一个白色的化妆包. 原价95美金加税.

this is what you got in the package, sorry I forgot to put the muslin cloth into the picture...
From left to right, the cleanser, rescue mask, TLC radiance cream, and morning time cleanser.

从左到右, 卸妆膏,急救面膜,全效亮丽修护面霜,早晨洗面膏. 卸妆和早晨洗面膏都是油膏状的.

here comes the best seller product--the cleanser, contains 4 aromatic oils with cleansing, decongesting and soothing functions. I followed the exact instruction on the jar and I had to say it's an AMAZING deep-clean makeup remover. BUT I won't use every day, I'm using it twice a week. It's not a good thing for your skin that deep-cleaning everyday.

I'm doing the hot and cold water method to open and close my pores, learned it from the instruction.

1st step, apply the cleanser to dry face and neck. Massage your face and neck, at least 2 minutes. (it's a 20 minutes massage if follow every step from the instruction, but I'm too lazy.... :p)

2nd step, soak the muslin cloth in hot water and wring out. Hold the cloth over face for 5 seconds and repeat 3 times. this step is important, it's to soften the skin, activate the essential oils, and open the pores.

3rd step, wash your face and the muslin cloth,remove all traces of makeup and cleanser. making firm circular movements to clean out the black heads.

4th step, rinse the cloth in cold water and apply to face. this is important too because it's to close the pores.

5th step, you will look glowing!!!!! and also clear !!!

6th step for me and everyone has oil skin or acne skin, do a second cleaning to avoid breakout since the Eve Lom cleanser is an oil-based remover. The least thing you wanna see is oil left on your skin and you forgot to clean it. The oil might cause blemish and acne. So, use the daily cleanser you always use, to do a second cleaning. Dont use strong cleaning cleanser, your skin will be so dry. I always use Lush fresh farmacy, it's a soap for fry and sensitive skin.

这个就是卸妆膏啦~ 富含4种精油,有卸妆清洁,减少红血丝,去角质,清洁毛孔的功效. 我用了三个多星期了,必须说这个卸妆膏真的是很棒啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!!! 我基本按照说明书的步骤去清洁,然后现在发现我鼻子的毛孔明显小了,而且每次用都能看到白头浮出来.虽然有点恶心,可是内心真的很开心啊啊~~这个卸妆膏其实也是深层清洁的,所以我没有每天用,一般一周两次...

第一步, 必须是干的脸,不要碰到水, 不然水和卸妆膏的油会乳化,就没效果了. 挖一硬币大小的卸妆膏,然后在脸和脖子打圈圈按摩,重点按摩鼻子和粗大毛孔的位置. 按摩大概两三分钟吧~ 太久了我手都酸了,说明书上一共七个按摩步骤,要二十分钟左右.......估计按完我手要报废了..><

第二步, 用eve lom的棉布(任何洗脸毛巾都可以啦〜)泡热水,拧干,然后敷脸5秒,重复三遍, 让热气软化角质,加速精油的作用产生,打开毛孔.

第三步,按摩一下脸部,然后就可以洗脸了!!! 用手,用棉布都可以,只要洗干净就好~~ 然后就会看到浮出来的白头,这个时候就是黑头针出动的时候了!!!! 尽情的刮掉白头吧!!! 每次这个时候我都超high的...

第四步,用冷水敷脸,十几秒就好,这样可以收缩和闭上毛孔..大部分人到这步就结束了卸妆了哦~照照镜子看看脸蛋是不是变明亮了,毛孔干净了~

第五步是对于油性肌肤和痘痘肌肤的,就像我..... 我会做二次清洁, 用温和性的洁面乳.确保完全洗干净,没有油性残留物,不然容易闷痘...不要用清洁力太强的洗面奶哦,避免肌肤被洗的太干.....我一般用lush的fresh farmacy粉红色洁面皂.非常推荐给敏感肌和油性肌肤哦~`~

this is the rescue mask,  a deep-clean exfoliate mask that recommend to use once a week or use as emergency mask when needed ( like when I'm stay up late for finals).
the mask can reduce blotchy skin (when you stay up late), minimize irritated and erupted skin, clean and exfoliate skin. Actually, it's like the Glamglow mask.

这个是急救面膜,是一款深层清洁去角质的面膜,所以还是一周一次就足够了..不适合每天用哦~~ 而且还可以去水肿哦~~熬夜的最佳伴侣哈哈~ 我用过glamglow的面膜,然后和eve lom的急救面膜对比了一下,感觉差不多..都是急救类型的,用完会顿时明亮很多~所以两个选一个就好了.我更推荐glamglow如果忍受的了那刺痛感.....

here comes the TLC radiance cream, which becomes my day cream now after I finished the Kiehl's Ultra cream. TLC cream is a perfect blend formulated to protect skin, especially your skin looks awful when you wake up every morning (oily, tired, dehydrated). I really like the rose scent because it contains fragrant oil of bulgarian rose. it's a perfect cream for oily skin, it will give you a matt finish.

这个是修护面霜,我用完契尔氏的高保湿霜之后,就开始用这个修护霜..每次用都一股淡淡的玫瑰油香味~超喜欢~~~不是jurlique朱莉寇那种玫瑰浓香,是玫瑰精油的淡香~
这款霜是针对干燥,无气色,油性,缺水的肌肤. 用完之后,我早上起来脸上比以前少油光了,是哑光的感觉..而且和用高保湿霜的时候一样滋润补水. 真心喜欢这款面霜!!!

This is another cleanser, the morning time cleanser. it's also an oil-based cleanser but with less cleansing power to remove makeup. I'm not using it every morning because sometimes I use hot cloth to open my nose pores before cleansing. This cleanser need to apply on dry skin. This morning cleanser supposed to be a very good hydrated cleanser, but not everyone like that oil feeling in the morning.

这是另外一个洁面膏,早晨洁面膏. 也是油膏状的,也是要用在干的肌肤,不能碰水哦~
其实我觉得很麻烦,而且早上起床的时候也不喜欢油腻腻的洗面乳,所以我很少用.
不过清洁能力是不错的哦,而且也有淡淡的精油香味~~有次我拿来洗手,然后手都是香香的...

you see the oil-based cleanser?
it's pretty easy to apply and massage.
and also leave a scent of essential oils.

After using these four products for three weeks, I really recommend the makeup remove cleanser and the TLC radiance cream and I will buy the bigger size when I finish. 
终于写完了啊啊啊啊啊啊~~~
如果要我推荐的话,我推荐卸妆膏,和修护面霜,当然囖,棉布也是必须的!!!
这三个也是我会回购的产品.

关于爆痘的事情,我必需解释一下啊,
这三个星期,我有长痘,两颗,但是不是爆发的那种,
我也不觉得是因为用了油性的洁面膏,
因为我一直都有持续长痘,十天左右一颗的速度.
所以我不认为是eve lom引起的.
特别是用完卸妆膏有做二次清洁的话,
是不会留下油性残留物,引发闷痘的..
要认真跟着说明书的步骤洗脸哦~~
希望大家都有美美的肌肤~

Shiseido ultimate sun protection lotion spf50+ review.(资生堂艳阳夏蓝瓶 防晒spf50)

it's summer now and it's time for sunscreen products!
I dont really use sunscreen products, but why I'm fall in love with this shiseido one?
I brought it to Cancun,Mexico for my spring break this year. This is the ONLY sunscreen product I brought. I went to swim and sun bathing all day. There was no sunburn or redness on my face and body.
I have to thank this shiseido sun protection and GNC aloe gel(check my review) soooooooo much!!!!
I bought this in sephora. Its 39 plus tax. This is the lotion, there is also a cream one. There is also SPF38 to choose.

夏天来了哦〜妹子们又是防晒出动的日子了!其实我真的很不喜欢涂防晒,因为它又厚又粘还有一股防晒霜独特的味道!相信妹子们都有类似的经历吧〜〜(还是说只有我一个人一直买错防晒。。。)
不过,不想变黑妹妹更不想晒伤脱皮的话〜还是乖乖涂吧。或者像我一样,平时出门就用带spf的bb cream或粉底。去海边度假的话,就还是乖乖的涂一层防晒霜吧〜〜
这次springbreak,去了梦想已久的cancun〜(其实本来去peurto rico的,不过队员太多意见意见不统一啊〜〜)
但是cancun真的超好玩!!!去了六天也不够!每天都象野孩子一样暴晒在烈阳下哈哈哈〜〜可是我一点都没晒黑哦〜也没有晒伤!
我带去的防晒就只有这瓶、资生堂的艳阳夏蓝瓶 spf50。我买的是lotion,比较轻盈〜〜〜 也有霜质地的cream,应该比较厚重吧我没有买cream的,也不好多加评论。


                                   

这系列还有出spf38的lotion和cream。还有出防晒润唇膏〜〜
                     
I like the blue and yellow design. It's like ocean and sunshine, made me think about vocation and beach. 
Shake it well before use. Squeeze it.
                                   
You can the two pictures below and find out its very easy for skin to absorb the lotion. It's a light and brightening sunscreen. I use for face and body. 
It's my first choice for the beach. I'm recommending it if you want a high SPF, light, and fast-absorbed sunscreen.
来〜〜妹子们〜
看看上下两张对比图,你就会发现,这防晒真的很快吸收,而且吸收之后就不会油腻了。。。而且用完还有美白的效果哦!!!
我以前都不怎么用防晒的〜〜一直觉得防晒很油很腻很恶心。不到万不得已我都不会用。这次去cancun,本来想买安耐晒的(评论太高了,真心想试试),可是shipping来不及了,就直接在sephora抓了这瓶。本来以为会很厚重,没想到那么好用。
我的脸和身体都涂这个,不过后来受不了防晒霜的独特味道,后来脸部就用了朋友的elta MD防晒。那个elta也是很轻盈的防晒,比资生堂这个更轻盈,就是和普通lotion一样。不过很小瓶啊就不适合来涂全身。下次有机会再介绍elta MD的!
资生堂这款蓝瓶,真心推荐给去海边玩耍的妹子们〜〜〜
