Sorry for the lack of post this summer, I started a new job and I'm been busier then ever but I will try my best to post as much as I can.  

Summer is nearly ending here, finally!  Fall/Winter is my favorite seasons if you don't know me by now :D  I want to share some of my frequently use skincare items I use mostly through summer.

For reference I have oily/combination skin in the summer and occasional breakouts.

Cleanser
Every night I use the Desert Essence Tea Tree face wash (Purchased at Whole Foods).  This stuff cleans out everything, if you have dry skin I wouldn't recommend using this because it will strip your face dry.  I have oily skin in the summer so this keep my face squeaky clean. 

In the morning I rotate between Biore foaming cleanser and the St. Ives Green tea.  Both is okay but I'm just trying to use them up since Cetaphil is still my favorite morning cleanser. 

Night Moisturizers
At night I use the Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free Treament with 10% Glycolic AHA, this is more of a chemical exfoliate so I only use this before bed time and a little goes a long way.  I love this stuff it makes my skin really smooth in the morning, will definitely continue to use this in the furture.  

After applying the AHA I use the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for extra moisture.

For my night eye cream I use Physcians Formula Hydrating Eye Cream.

Depending on my mood, some nights I use the Naruko Tea Tree serum and Tea Tree Gelly before bed.

Morning Moisturizers 
I use the Missha's Time Revolution Immortal Youth Serum, this serum is pretty good and does moisturize pretty well.

For my lotion I use the Merlot Natural Grape Seed moisturizer with SPF 15.  If I wear BB Cream which usually have high sun protection I would use this moisturizer since now I am more careful with protecting my skin from the sun. 

On days when I don't wear makeup I use Shiseido Senka Mineral Sunscreen UV Gel SPF 50 for a little more protection.  I am very picky with face sunscreen especially ones with high SPF because I hate the greasy feeling and strong scent they have but this sunscreen is an exception and I will continue to use this.

For my day eye cream I use the Lancome Multi-Vital eye with SPF 28.  This was a free sample, the eye cream is okay not moisturizing enough in my opinion.

Extras
For a once a week treat, I like to use my Clarisonic Mia to exfoliate my skin.

After exfoliating I would use a sheet mask and leave it on for 15-20 minutes, it really does feels nice on the skin :]

That is all, thank you for reading!

Disclaimer: I bought everything

Collective Drugstore Haul

Some new stuff I got over the past 2 months :]

Target
I purchase the new Garnier BB Cream which I ended up returning :p  I didn't enjoy the formula and it didn't felt like the Asian BB Creams I've tried, to me it was more like a tinted moisturizer.
I also bought the new Revlon Just Bitten lip balm stain which I only paid around $3 because I had coupon, so far I'm liking it!  Will do a review once I'm use it to.
I got the new Simple Makeup wipes since I also had a coupon for it. 

One of my most exciting purchases were these Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips.  These are perfect for people like me who suck at doing nail designs lol.  I only paid $4.27 for each of these since these were on clearance, as pretty and convenient these are I wouldn't paid the full price for it :[

I got two new eye brushes, one blending brush by Target brand and a small smudge brush by Sonia Kashuk. 

From their dollar section I got these cute fruit stationary that I couldn't pass up!

Also from their dollar section I bought two pink organizers

Pretty nice!

CVS
I got two of the new L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow shades since I LOVE these very much and then I went crazy on the Wet n' Wild nail polishes since these were 40% off a while back.

Whole Foods
I bought the Desert Essence Tea Tree Facial Wash ($12.99 for 32 oz that's a lot of product!) and their Tea Tree Oil.  I've heard a lot of good benefits on Tea Tree Oil and since the weather is warmer I want to try something that will keep my skin oil free.  I tried the facial wash already and so far I'm loving it!

That's all!  Coming soon will be my Asian cosmetics haul :]
