Wishlist - Clarisonic Fever!!!

After reading a review post about Clarisonic Mia 2 Mia2 Deep Pore Detoxifying Solution here suddenly I put this on the top of my wishlist. With oily, acne-prone, comedonal skin I always dream to get rid all the blackheads and whiteheads on my face. Clean and refined pore is what I always want since my peuberty age!

Me needs:

- Travel friendly size (this automatically refer to Mia or Mia 2)
- Travel protective case (ony Mia 2 has it)
- Deep pore brush head or acne brush head (actually there's nothing wrong to start with sensitive brush which is included in the standard kit, I can always buy various type of replacement brush head)

Me wants:
- A pretty colorful limited edition cleansing device
- Travel protective case in any color but white 
- All-in-one cleansing device for face and body (like.... Plus or Pro)
- Various level of speed (hmm, this means Mia 2, Aria, Plus, Pro)
- A cradle! (Plus)

Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls

Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls comes inside a pink cardboard box with golden flower pattern, which is their signature Dreamy Moments line's pattern. 

Front side of the box

Bottom side of the box

Description from oriflame official website :

"Delicate pearls inspired by the light to enhance the beauty of your skin and illuminate the complexion. Use to accentuate cheekbones and décolleté, or dust all over for radiant luminosity. 25 g"

Ingredients List

The pearls placed in a golden plastic jar with a pink lid with the signature golden flower pattern. 

 



Oriflame Giordani Gold Dreamy Moments Illuminating Pearls in my palm.




It comes with a sponge inside, to keep the pearls fixed and separate them from the mirror on the lid.




 Reminds me of something... Like, Guerlain Meteorites Perles, but in a very affordable price.




The pearls consist of five colors: green, gold, white, pink and lavender, the same size and quantity. Each has its own function: green to counteract redness, lavender to neutralizes yellow skintone, pink to give a healthy appearance, golden to give warm radiance, and white to illuminates and brightens complexion. All  the pearls have satin finish, except the white ones which have visible glitter. Green, pink and lavender pearls seem less than white and gold pearls.



Will do an update post about the swatches :-)

Wardah Double Function Kit Review

Hi all...
I will review a local product from Wardah Cosmetics, Wardah Double Function Kit. The kit consist of two concealer and an eyebase cream. Sturdy packaging, so simple and travel friendly.


This kit comes with a dual ended sponge applicator, but I find it useless (at least for me, or maybe I just don't know how to use it... LOL)



Two of the concealers are very creamy and thick, I think they are on the dry side. Actually it is a little bit hard to pick the concealer with my finger, but after rubbing for a while with little round circle motion to make it warm, the concealer melts and the dry, thick, creamy texture became easier to apply. 




The first concealer are match my skin tone but too light to cover blemishes, and the second concealer are darker and too orange for my skin, so I have to mix the two concealers (more of the lighter and less of the darker) to make it able to cover blemishes while still match my skintone. 

After mixed, the concealers are opaque enough to cover redness from blemishes and scars. But the dry consistency accentuates dry patches on my face (due to topical tretinoin). Since I don't have any dark circle issue, I can't say anything about ability to cover dark circles.

#1 Lighter Concealer
#2 Darker Concealer
I also try to blend the eyebase cream with the concealer to make it easier to apply. I does easier to apply but became oily so I dont like it.  Anyway, the eyebase cream do not do its job well on me. My eyeshadows are creasing and my eyelid became more oilier. But the eyebase cream can be used as wax to align eyebrow hairs. Although the eyebase cream don't work well on me, I have no problem with the concealers. But it just take more times to apply so I don't use this on my daily make up routines.

Update:
Belakangan lumayan sering pakai Wardah double function kit yg ada 2 concealer+1 eyebase. Concealernya ternyata lumayan oke di aku. Dry, thick & creamy consistency, works well on my oily skin. But sometimes accentuates dry patches. Medium to full coverage, opaque enough to cover blemishes, redness & dark circles (which lately become visible on my eyes). Surprisingly long lasting through 7-8 hours. Awal2 belajar pke concealer rasanya susah, lama & ribet. Tp lama kelamaan sering pakai jd terbiasa, ternyata gampang & cepet. 
Love it! :)

2014 - Red Lips

Hello...
Today is my lazy saturday because I have no ER shift, in other words, I'm free today... Wake up early in the morning and making my bedroom, doing domestic stuff... 

Anyway, RED lipstick is a big WOW for me because I've never brave enought to wear RED lipstick. But early in this year I tried to do something new like: wearing RED lipstick! I'm using Vanilly from TheBalm Jovi Palette. It's a gorgeous blue based red but sadly the lasting power is sooooo short. It even smudged when my finger accidentally touched my lips.







FOTD with my beloved.....

My SK-II

Happy New Year all...!!!
Hope 2014 can be a better year for all of us :-)

I've come from my ER night shift. After took a bath, like usual I did my skincare routines with SK-II. I started with Facial Treatment Cleansing Lotion, then Facial Treatment Essence, them Stempower Essence and last but not least the Stempiwer Cream. After finished my skincare routines, I decided to write a quick post about my beloved skincare line from SK-II. 

The SK-II Stempower line helps me to walk through my acne breakout several months ago. My inflamed acne calmed and resolved quickly, acne scars also became less visible each day and fade quickly untill completely disappear. And things that I really love is my gigantic pores are reduced in terms of size and become less visible, leaving my skin smooth appearence and also feel soft and supple. I also feel my horribly oily face significantly become not-so-horribly-oily anymore each day. Finally in real life my face is become less oily!!! *can you see my happy tears?!*
