Monthly Faves: May 2011

It's such a beautiful day today, actually all week has been so far in Toronto. I am blogging outside on my balcony! June is here and here are my May favourites.


Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer - For days that I just want a bit of coverage, this tinted moisturizer is very nice. Although I am not a fan of the packaging, the product oozes out of the nozzle. Anyone else have this problem? I want to use this up quickly as mine expires this month, although I always use a moisturizer with SPF underneath anyway. Click here for my complete review.

Reviva Labs Under-eye Dark Circle Serum - I was sent a bunch of products from Reviva Labs to review, I've been using them off and on throughout the month, this product has impressed me the most. Many eye creams are too thick for me and cause me to get milia or beakouts under the eyes. If you suffer from dark circles, this product is great because it contains DMAE which is a skin firmer. It has some of the same ingredients as their Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which I also have. Although I have been reading that DMAE is also known to cause cell irritation and cell death, so I am not too much I would recommend this product entirely, still have to do some research on it myself. Let me know if you are familiar with these ingredients or used this product.

MUFE HD blush - I bought this in the full size of shade #12 First Kiss, but I've been trying to use up my sample first and it looks like it's gonna last me a long time. This is a gorgeous peach coral shade. Click here for my complete review.

Moroccan Oil - I bought the small bottle of this to try out before committing to the full size. After dying my hair multiple times in May, it's now dry and brittle, so I need any kind of conditioning that I can. This oil is great for my hair, I thought it would be too thick but it's not.

Garnier Dark Circle Eye Roller - Although I am not a fan of it's concealing abilities (light coverage), I do like how this product feels on my skin and I used it everyday in the month of May. Click here for the complete review.

Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream - This product has appeared in my monthly favourites a couple of times now. It's my all-time favourite face cream, I love the texture and cooling feel of this on my skin.

No.7 Lifting and Firming foundation - I picked this up for only $3 at Shoppers Drug Mart last month, I think they were doing some massive clearance sale. They had concealers and powders, all sorts of items from this brand, I really should of picked up more. However, it is expired, although that didn't stop me from trying it. Isn't there something that stops stores from selling expired cosmetics? Even for $3 it seems sketchy to me.
