Birthday dinner, Lacura night cream review

OK, as you guys may well know, I just turned 22 on March 20th. I don't feel much older, haha. I worked on my birthday, so I celebrated on a different day. I celebrated one day with my family, and one with my friends. My friends and I just hung out at ordered pizza, and had cupcakes. We also played Disney Scene-It because we're so cool. I lost

I went out to dinner with my family at this amazing Asian buffet. There were so many different kinds of food Time for food spam, haha~

 

My aunt's plate. 

My plate, they even had all you can eat sushi, so I got some veggie sushi and tofu sushi.

Went again a few days later and got these awesome red bean paste dumplings. I love bean paste~

The interior of the place is really nice~!

After eating out, I went to an Aldi next store. I was just there to pick up some fruit since they were having a sale (got a giant cantelope for 99 cents!! ) . I ran into their brand of skin care products, and they have a line called 'Lacura'. Lacura has a night cream with retinol and Q10 in it, and it was only $3.99 I bought it thinking 'what the heck' but also though it might be no good or filled with cheap ingredients that don't work. I looked online and it has such good reviews! Apparently it beat 2000 products in blind tests, including top brands and expensive products. Just Google "Lacura Night Cream Reviews"!

 

 Another great thing about this cream- I've been using it for probably 5 nights now and my skin hasn't broken out at all. This is very good because I've got super acne prone skin. My skin also feels soooo soft afterwards, and the scent of this cream is very springy. To be honest, the scent reminds me of daffodils, lol. I love this stuff. And at $3.99 a bottle, how can you go wrong? This cream definitely gets my seal of approval.

Official description:

It's easily absorbed, helping slow skin aging, correct lines and wrinkles and protect against aging environmental factors for long-lasting regenerative effects and smooth, supple skin."

Nice Weather

I'll start this off with... "omg, the weather has been SO nice!" It's been in the upper 60s to 80F degrees for the past half a week or so, and looking at the forecast, it seems like it will continue to be wonderful! Because of the pleasant weather, I went out and took some pics of my newer ball jointed doll, Cerelia (a Bobobie March). Here's a couple of the pictures:

I also recently purchased some face care products, both involving foam~! One is Acne Free's Oil-Free All-Day Acne Control Leave on Foam.

Product description:

"Acne Free Clear Skin Treatments Oil Free All-Day Acne Control, contains 5% Continuous Release Micro-Benzoyl Peroxide Leave on Foam. Shine Control 12 hour clearing. Non Sticky. Fast absorbing. Kills 99% of acne bacteria on contact and keeps working for up to 12 hours."

It's nice because it features a pump and the product comes out as a foam! It also has 5% micro benzoyl peroxide. Regular bp tends to feel kind of grainy, but this goes on very nicely and smoothly, so it doesn't make my makeup look funny. 5 stars~!

The other product is Noxema's Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash. 

Product description:

"Clean Blemish Control Foaming Wash, created specially for Adult skin, deep cleans to help treat and prevent blemishes while restoring skin's moisture balance.  Skin is left beautifully clear and feeling moisturized."

I love this foaming wash so far! The smell is sweet, almost like something berry-ish? This wash is excellent at removing my makeup, so many other ones I've tried have left some makeup residue on my face. This one also leaves my face feeling moisturized. I also like how this wash is formulated for adults with blemishes/acne. 5 stars, I love this cleanser.

So far I have been using both products for about a week, and my face looks a lot smoother and I seem to be having less breakouts.

I'll leave some photos here of my past week or two~ (which has been very busy and tiresome, lol.)

Mm, OFK's strawbery aloe drink. Served up in a retro Care Bear glass (seriously, it's from the 80s pizza hut promo, my aunt gave this glass to me~!) I've also been drinking the peach and mango varieties~ Aloe drink =

Hibachi chicken with steamed rice and veggies from a local Japanese restaurant~

Spur of the moment nail polish.

Chocolate horn/coronet I got on the left, and a cannoli (I think?) that my dad got at the local international market. The coronet was sooooo good. 

Anyway, that's it for this post. Now I should go shower and possibly take a walk while it's so beautiful out~! (My birthday is tomorrow, too! )
