Aesop's face oil
This is the other face oil I use. I've been using this one for months now. It's thicker than the Bobbi Brown one and thus takes longer to absorb or at least it feels like it. I do still like it though. My only complaint is the super strong jasmine scent. It's too much. I only use this one in the evening before bed.

Bobbi Brown's Extra Face Oil
I absolutely love this product. I use it every morning and every evening before I go to bed. It smells like Asian medicine but I like that kind of smell.

Mario Badsecu's Foaming Glycolic Cleanser and Toner
I absolutely love these two items! The duo does an amazing job of controlling my oily T-zone. With consistent use the pores on my nose and the area around my nose minimized. My only complaint is that it was hard for me to remember to use the cleanser 3 times a week. I'm pretty forgetful and I also like simple routines. Each item is under $20 and can be lund at Ulta. I love both items and will definitely repurchase- which is RARE for me!

Estée Lauder Optimizer Intense Hydration Boosting Lotion
I purchased this from CCO in Livermore, Ca. It was $25? I wanted a hydrating toner (despite the misleading name 'lotion' this is a toner) for my dry peeling summer skin and wanted to give this one a try. It's thicker than normal toners. It is very gentle and soothing to the skin. I pour a little into my palms and rub it all over my face- no cotton ball. I'm not a big toner user so this was a big addition into my skin care routine. So far it's been good for my skin. No more peeling skin! But is it worth trying or repurchasing in my case- no. It's nothing special. My husband loves it though so I may repurchase it for him. :)
No7 Protection & Perfection Beauty Serum
I purchased my bottle from Target for around $20 a little over a month ago. I purchased it because i read that this serum was voted as one of the best anti-aging serums by consumers. For the most part I have even using it every evening... On top of toner and underneath night cream. I should have taken a before photo but I'm still new to blogging and wasn't planning ahead. Prior to using this beauty serum, I have dry to normal skin and I'm starting to have crows feet and smiles lines. I was suffering from extreme dryness and some peeling on my nose and chin prior to starting this serum. After using 80% of the beauty serum my skin is "healthier looking" according to my husband. Honestly I'm not sure if I see a difference. The serum is smooth and when applied to the skin it leaves a smooth finish. It's pretty fast drying which is a positive because then layering with a moisturizer is possible. It's definitely affordable compared to other anti-aging serums out there if you want to try it!

Girl friends
Today is wedding of one of my dearest friend in the world. I've always call her my sister from a different mother because she understand me just like one of my sisters. I'm incredibly happy for her and her soon to be husband but I'm also incredibly sad as she will be moving across the country. So as I spend the day with her, I'm reminiscing about our undergraduate days, endless all nighters spent cramming, our quarter life crisis, tears of disappointment over academic set backs, and how far we have both come. Gosh, I really will miss her so much! Cherish your girlfriends and hold them close to your heart because good friends are so hard to find!
