Last weekend, I attended SF's Gay Pride and saw the Backstreet Boys! LOL It was OKAY. They performed two and a half songs and didn't do a very good job at it. But it's okay, at least they were there I guess =p What sucked even more that weekend was that I had a bad case of sunburn on my shoulders!
I wore Lancome's SPF 50 sunscreen all over, but I don't think it was enough. It was pretty warm that day. My arm is better now, but now I am unevenly tanned in some places... haha Well, it's peeling now and I see that it's getting lighter again. I've been putting aloe on it daily and taking good care of it with ice packs and whatnot. But the sunburn sucked!
And now I am back to do a review of a product that I really like - Body Shop's Vitamin E Sink-in mask.
I've probably written about this numerous times when I first started blogging here =p I don't think I've noted exactly how much of a replenisher this is when your skin is in need of deep hydration.
I usually wear it a few times a week. Since it's a leave-in mask, you don't have to wash it off at all. When I wake up in the morning, my skin feels radiant and pampered. It softens up your skin like no other. And since it's mostly Vitamin E (which is really good for the skin) , the intense hydration does not go unnoticed. The pale pink formula is cooling on your skin and does not feel tacky, although it feels thicker than a lotion. Think thick, rich night cream consistency.
The only thing that I don't like about this is the strong smell. It has a strong baby smell...=p It's like baby body wash and baby powder (probably mixed together). I don't know how to explain it, but it's a strong smell. I've overlooked the smell because of the mask's benefit on my skin but the smell is very strong. Beware of that =/
Anyway, I started using the Lancome Ageless Minerale translucent powder. It controls oil very well! Below are some pics taken over the weekend. I used Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Liquid sunscreen in SPF 55 and dusted some of the mineral powder over it. The night before, I used the Vitamin E mask/cream.
I plan on reviewing the sunscreen as well. I really like the formula. I'll review it after a few more uses! :) The Lancome powder has a very soft focus finish and has a subtle pink glow. I really like it because it feels so light and has no funky mineral-y smell.
Here are some cute skirts I picked up at H&M awhile ago! I really love florals. This is actually shorts but in a skirt way. Skorts? I don't know =p
A purple-ish skirt I picked up at H&M. I imagine wearing this with a plain white top and a cardigan. The pattern is kind of busy, but I hope a plain top can balance the focus.
I also picked up some PJ's at Target! I love the colors :)
A dress I got at Macy's a little while ago. I love the simplicity of it and the loose fit. I imagine it can be worn day and night with the right accessories.
Anyway, that's it! That is all I have to post for tonight. I shall be back very soon to review other things in my list of things to review =p Til then, have a happy remainder of your Tuesday!

Awww... it sucks getting sunburned!
your pictures look slightly bigger! they're awesome :) hehe i love the ones in which you're laughing - so cute
i'm sorry you got a sunburn :( my dad makes me go outside in long sleeve shirts so i won't gripe about getting all red and tan xD haha good dad.
When my wife and I are headed to an outdoor festival I try to get her to wear one of my t-shirts so her shoulders will be protected. Sometimes she does--and she looks just as cute that way. I'm sure you would too...and no burn.
Awww sucks about your sunburn but wow Backstreet Boys, they certainly bring me back
I was more of an N'Sync fan though :P
Aww thank you :D ! Haha I ran my straightener through my hair a bit to curl it. Normally my hair can get pretty wavy naturally but it looks really messy and uneven :3
Holy cow look at your sunburn! SPF 50 too!? Craaaaaaaazy! You better put on hella' aloe vera :P
Cute skirts btw! :D
That body shop vitamin e mask looks intriguing! Sorry about your sunburn :( Make sure to keep it moisturized so you can peel as little as possible! x

i really like the H&M skirt you picked up! it looks super flowy for those hot summer days :)
OUch your sunburn! >_<" But omg you saw the BSB!!! I've been a fan since I was 6 xD Your skin looks awesome! I've been using the ultra sheer liquid sunscreen too and it's the best face sunscreen I've used on my face so far. Except that it's still a bit greasy on me but I blot it away and I'm ok for the day :)
Oh man! That sunburn looks like it HURTS! =( Hopefully it will heal sooner than later. hahah You got some really cute clothing items! I wish we had an H&M in Houston. Boo.. Your skin looks so smooth and soft in the pictures. Nice!
oooooh boy, your tan line looks like mine! i hope it is all recovered before this weekend. see you soon!!! you are coming out right?
Oy! That sunburn looks painful. Put some aloe on it. I hope that soulder will feel better soon.
Omgoshhhh that sunburn looks like it hurt!! >< Glad it's getting better though!
Oooh those floral "skort" are waay cute!!

Cute skirts, and I really want to try the mask now, haha, I heard the eye cream from the same line is good also.
whoa ur burn oh my plz feel better soon!!! haha the back street boys! =D
Good Gawd your sunburn is crazy! That's how much fun you had! It will make you remember how you get it for a while. I still have my sunburn from a few months ago and it itched for weeks after I got it. I love the skirts...now I need the sun to come out so I can wear some around here! I can't wait for you to post your pics wearing them.
hehe thanks :D it's def a great lipstick!
Ouch! what a painful sunburn!
You should try putting some aloe gel on it, it's suppose to really help with sun burns.
The Alice palette is pretty, but it's really not that versatile - I've barely touched 90% of the shadows and I've had it for over 5 months!
I love that floral skort (haha) that you got from H&M!
You look so pretty in the photos! So fresh and natural!
Btw, how did you arrange two pictures side by side here at blogger? I can't do that with my layout I think...
That H&M floral skirt/shorts is so cute! I love it!
ouch a slap of aloe should help! i like a laughing smiling pic, v pretty :)
Oh my gosh, your sunburn looks painful! I'm glad your arm is doing better though.
Wish I could've seen the Backstreet Boys! Hahahah, brings back memories :)
gosh...the sun burnt must be very painful...
Thanks for your comment while I was on holiday. I used Sally Hansen Maximum Growth in Pure White Tip in my preparing nails post.
i used to get sunburned a lot when i was younger...and the worst i got was when i could no longer move my arms because it was so painful to move with my skin..hehe. i've been slathering on sunblock every 30 mins since...
love the floral skorts!
♥ vanilla ice cream ♥
You look so cute in the last 2 photos!
I love the floral shorts from H&M!
