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.

Estée Lauder Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Hydrating Gel Oil-Free

Estée Lauder
Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Hydrating Gel Oil-Free



I do like this thin condensed gel consistency when applied on my face. I have been using this for my frown lines and neck lines. I didn't notice much difference, maybe because I'm only in my early 30s but prevention is care! It's best to apply a cream afterwards because this product made not be enough for dry skin or during the winter.

Glow Recipe Avocado Sleeping Mask

I want to say that I brought it to try the brand "Glow Recipe". It does have nice ingredients and it's good for dry skin but something is missing for me. It isn't as creamy as other night creams that I've tried even though a little goes a long way. It was hard for me to use this within 6 months so maybe the texture changed after 6 months causing me to change my mind about this product. I loved it during the winter but didn't care for it during the summer. It didn't irritate my dry sensitive skin so I was ok with this product.

Iope Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning

I've waited so long and bit the bullet and purchased this product. I will try other essence, but my skin loves this product. My skin doesn't break out and my skin feels smooth after each use. I don't use the recommended amount of 1ml per usage. I don't like SK2 but love this iope essence and never turn back.
