Sephora Age Defy Moisture Cream SPF 15

Sephora Age Defy Moisture Cream
SPF 15
Active Ingredients: Ensulizole, Octinoxate, Octisalate, Octocrylene, Oxybenzone, and Titanium Dioxide
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
Parabens

This is Sephora's own sunscreen that I received as part of the Sephora Sun Kit. It is available as 1 fl oz (30mL) and 1.69 fl oz. The prices are $15 and $30 respectively. However, the larger size is in a tub and not in a tube like the smaller size. For me, tub containers are not ideal. Another con for me is that this not a broad spectrum sunscreen and it protects only against UVB rays. In my previous post about sunscreen, I stressed the importance of broad spectrum sunscreens considering UVA also damages the skin. Other than that, the consistency reminds me of the whipped yogurt from Yoplait® but thicker. The smell is a pleasant, light, floral scent. But overall, this is not going to be my daily moisturizing sunscreen.

Current Obsession: Teacups and Teapots

Inside Out Hearts Tea Cups and Saucers

My current obsession is with teacups and mugs. I find them irresistibly cute, especially these heart-shaped tea cups and heart-shaped saucers. There's also a heart-shaped cream and sugar set, along with a 32oz teapot that comes in various colors. Bed, Bath, & Beyond tends to carry some of the cutest things including these "Inside Out Hearts" sets. And more recently they started carrying some tea pieces designed by Romero Britto. Romero Britto is a renowned pop-artist and his pieces are just amazingly vivid. But back onto about teacups, and how can you not like a peacock teacup set?

The whimsical tea sets are fun and all but I do also love the plain classy ones too like the ones from Yedi Houseware. 

I also really like the clear glass teacups. However, the clear teacups only looks good with tea, whereas the others may be also used for coffee. There is the exception of using it for coffee that contains a lot of milk foam like in the top right picture. The double walled glass ones may be the ones I actually get.

But it's not just the actual teacups that I really obsessed with. These cupcake molds in shape of teacups by Fred and Friends are also adorable and on my wish list. I love cute kitchen accessories too.

Boston: Japonaise Bakery

Delicious pastries with an Japanese twist. I was first introduced to this yummy place by one of my friends and I fell in love with their Azuki Cream. Just imagine a flaky cream puff with Azuki (red bean) paste inside. They also sell  ice cream mochi, which are little ice cream bon bons wrapped by sticky rice flour. The Ichigo Cream is another favorite of mine only because it contains ichigo (strawberry in Japanese). As for the Melon Pan and the An Pan, they do also taste pretty good. An Pan is a Azuki paste fill bun, while the Melon Pan is just bread that looks like a melon. But these two are no where in comparison to Azuki Cream. But alas I no longer live near Boston. Hopefully, I can find a similar bakery out here in Seattle.

I borrowed these polishes from a friend and I honestly don't remember what the exact colors were. One's definitely from Color Club and the other from Revlon. The one from Color Club is mostly likely "Rebel Debutante" or "What a Shock". "Volt of Light" is also possible. Of course it is also possible that the color is not listed on the company's list as they no longer makes the polish anymore. The color name for the Revlon nail polish is a little harder to figure out since I really can't tell from the company website. I think it's either "Minted" or "Eclectic".
