It would've been a good thing if HK wasn't so damn hot and humid.
Since I've skipped May favourites (because for the life of me I CANNNOT remember what I used during that month.) I decided to do a fuller more action-packed!June Favourites =D
So For June, I have been LOVING these products:
For the first half of june, I've been using the UGB BB cream because it has very high SPF on cloudy or lazy days I'll just whip this one with out sunscreen underneath and hope for the best (of course on extra sunny days I ALWAYS layer my sun protection ;) ). The BB cream is actually quite pale and has quite a pink undertone and everything I have is either too pale or a little too orange for my skin now, so I FINALLY went to pick up another powder foundation (it's summer, everyone's entitled to be lazy). So I picked up the Shiseido Maquillage Tulle Powdery UV Foundation in OC20 which is a perfect balance between my darker T-zone area and paler cheeks, and I have been applying it with my trusty Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I also got the Shiseido Maquillage Concealer Stick EX in number 2 to go with the foundation. This concealer is creamy enough to go on the undereyes and sets enough to cover blemishes and blends into skin easily with fingertips.
I've also been trying to get into the habit of filling in my brows lately, I have quite full brows to begin with but they are always a tiny bit less full at the end and I also want to elongate them a bit, so I have been using the TOPSHOP Brow pencil in Spike to fill in the ends of my eyebrows. And as the weather is becoming hotter, mascara is becoming easier to smudge. On me in this kind of unforgiving weather, waterproof mascaras are even worse, not only do they smudge, but because they are waterproof, the smudges are impossible to wipe off. I find that the lash blast length in the water resistant formula (though definitely not waterproof and therefore not pool/beach proof) hold up even better than waterproof mascara as it is less likely to be broken down my my oily lids.
And since Summer = lazy (at least in my book), I've been just using pH reactive lip products, on more natural days, I use the Maybelline baby lips glow lip balm (sorry, I forgot to include it in the pictures) for naturally tinted lips and on days I want a brighter pop of color I go for the TOPSHOP lip tint.
Lucky me for FINALLY getting my hands on a travel sized Shu uemura cleasning oil, I've been ACHING to try it but is very hesitant in buying the gigantic bottle. The fresh cleansing oil is a god send for oily skin, light and does not leave a balmy finish on the skin, but dissolves every inch of your makeup. I don't even need a separate eye makeup remover anymore for waterproof mascara or eyeliner (usually I need to use a cotton bud/cotton wipe for between the lashes) it just dissolves everything, even gunk between your lashes that takes forever to take off. I also got a travel size of MUJI's mild cleansing oil, just to compare and contrast with the Shu Uemura one, I found the MUJI oil is a bit thicker and takes more time with splashing to emulsify and take off than the Shu Uemura one.
