Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum

Fights anti-aging, harsh climates and pollution? I added this to my Sephora cart and ordered.

I remember opening this product and was baffled at the colour but since one of the ingredients is mushroom extract, I understood. This is "serum" to me is actually a daytime moisturizer that I used during the autumn months for my dry sensitive skin. My skin feels plumped and hydrated after use.

Too Faced Dew You Frutti Tutti Fresh Glow Foundation in Vanilla

In my opinion, I consider this foundation a spring or autumn foundation. I love the watermelon scent and it's semi-dewy when applied on my dry sensitive skin. I do like the gel cream texture allowing it easy to apply with your fingers if you are short on time.  This foundation doesn't stay on for more than 4 hours and don't expect full coverage. Overall I like the pump and it's travel friendly.

Blithe Vital Treatment Essence for Lifting

This product took me a while to get used to. The scent was bad when I first opened it and I held my nose when I used it for the first time. But over the month of using it after I emptied my IOPE essence, there was no difference. The ingredients of soybeans, lentil and dark beans for anti-aging properties just brightened my appearance. The one thing that I liked were the little beads of vitamin E that explodes when you apply it on your face. After a month of using it into the winter dry months, my skin loved it and the scent went away.

Benefit boi-ing cakeless concealer in shade 2

Better than shape tape!!!
I didn't think that I would use this as much as I did because I wasn't a fan of their Happy foundation.
This is a concealer that I use when I'm going foundation-free and in my opinion the coverage is better than foundation. This is the first product that have held up during 95F and humidity. It brightens my skin and after a couple uses I have decluttered most of my foundations and use this instead.

  

Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure Trip 2019

  
This was my first time visiting Universal Studios, I've been to Disney World many times when I was younger but never Universal Studio. So I planned a quick getaway 3 days 2 nights from Philadelphia to Orlando Florida. It was an AM flight from PHL and landed in MCO around noon. Uber was my mode of transportation to where I was staying for 2 nights. I booked at the Universal Studios resort Loews Royal Pacific because it had a Hawaiian Polynesian feel. Everyone that worked there greeted you with "Aloha". The check-in process was quick even though it was only noon, I wasn't charged anything for getting there early. It must be the fact that I came on off-season late September. The room key card is your Express Fast Pass for the parks to "skip the lines".
       
In order to get to the parks, we can take the bus shuttle or the water taxi. FYI, all three days that I've been to the parks, I have taken the water taxi as it is the most convenient. I have seen everyone buy a $12-14 lanyard for the parks pass but I got a waterproof phone pouch from the Victoria Secret outlet over at the International Outlets 5 minutes from the park for $3 instead to put my park pass in. 

I was surprised how much Sanrio Hello Kitty stuff was at the parks and Universal Studios Store. I got a Hello Kitty cup from there. I loved the Harry potter portion of the parks. I got a few things including a Hufflepuff shirt, keychain, passport holder and pumpkin juice. I love the frozen butterbeer (not alcoholic) and got it twice.


  

The Simpson area was interesting but the waterparks were nice especially when it's 95F outside. I enjoyed the Jurassic Park ride the most but I hated the candid picture at the end.


     


We visited City Walk a couple times dining at Cowfish which is a sushi and burger joint and The Chocolate Factory.








The next morning, we had the Polynesian Buffet at the Lowes Royal Pacific Resort.



Below are some of the goodies that I brought during this trip.

My Haul from Ulta 20 Days of Beauty

Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer

I like this medium coverage dewy concealer because of its compact packaging and flexible application brush but it has only a 4 hour wear stay. It does crease and break apart but the pro is that its very lightweight. I've received this complimentary product from Influsenter for my honest review.
