Hot Weather

It has been unbearably hot this week. Yesterday was 102~ degress F and today is no better. This has been the hottest week of summer so far hands down ! I can't believe how hot it is and wishes it was cooler ! I feel that I can't go out bc its way too hot and sweaty -.-'' And my ac didnt to give out today since it's spraying out a mist of water when i turn it on and makes this really weird noise...Anyways here's a look at the forecast where I live:



Anyways, I wanted to blog to give you a month of July Favorite Products regards to beauty etc.




So I was looking for a BB cream to use, but was soo skeptical choosing the right shade for me , but then I stumbled upon someone's blog regarding BB creams etc and found out that Sonia Kashuk's radiant Tinted Moisturizer was a good knock off apparently. So I gave it a try since this was less then $15 and much cheaper and accessible then the BB creams. I got the moisturizer in beige and i think it comes in 5 different shades and they also offer SPF 15 in the product also. The product states that:

* tinted moisturizer is makeup and treatment in one
*light reflectors hep disguise fine lines and wrinkles
*delivers a more even skin tone
*UVA & UVB protection

in the front of the product it states:
* A tinted moisturizer that helps balance and protects skin

The MOST active ingredients in this product include :
* Octinoxate 7.50%




*Avobenzone 2.00%



Thoughts:
From these graphs it seems that the coverage is pretty decent. But anyways I have grown to love this product it's really easy to put on and makes my routine shorter without having to put on moisturizer & foundation separately. After I put this on I place powder over it to set it.

Pros:
* the color is very blendable
* staying power is very good- it stays on the whole day without budging too much
* UVA & UVB protection !!
* easy to find & not costly
* doesnt smell like sunscreen

Cons:
* this is a liquid moisturizer, and sometimes its tooo liquid-y you can accidentally get too much product by squeezing the product.
* SPF is a bit lower for me, I burn easily so I think this wouldve been better if it was SPF 30, i think SPF 15 is too minimal for me

Rundown:
I lovee it, and have been using it everyday religiously after I get up. I think I'm halfway down my tube and i think i bought this just when summer was starting, so around June. I have never tried BB creams so I wouldnt know how "great" or "bad" this product this is compared to other BB creams. But I like this way better then the Physician's Formula Healthy Wear SPF 50 Tinted Moisturizer.

Here's my current nail color:

I used :
* Sinful Colors in Mint Apple #947
* Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Top Coat as a base & top coat
