Lately, "rose gold" or "rosy gold" theme is quite popular, especially after Urban Decay Naked 3 lauch and became a huge hype through the end of 2013. I don't have Naked 3 (yet), but I tried to make a "rose gold"-themed eye make up with two my eyeshdow palettes, MUA Undress Me Too and The Balm Nude'Tude Feelin' Naughty eyeshadow palette. Actually, this is the first time I did eye make up with The Balm Nude'Tude Feelin' Naughty eyeshadow palette.

Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream Review

Hi all...
I'm gonna review Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB Cream. I never know that actually I'm in love with this BB cream untill I realize that I have been used this almost everyday for more than 3 months.

I started using this BB cream when I was in my acne breakout period last year untill now. It didn't break me out. It makes my skin look flawless during the horrible breakout while still give it a chance to heal. A little goes a long way since now there's still more than a half of BB cream in the jar.

 

 

There's a spatula attached on the lid to pick the product inside the jar. Very hygienic and no need for extra spatula. It also comes with a latex sponge but I throw it away because I find it useless. 

I used to apply this with my Real Technique Expert Face Brush to get medium to full coverage at the beginning of my acne breakout period, but lately I frequently use my Real Technique Stippling Brush which gives lighter application because my skin getting better and there are less imperfection on my skin. Lately I used Coastal Scent's Powder Buffer Brush from Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Set and I really like it because the fluffy brush helps to create a smooth and flawless airbrushed appearence.

PS: Will do a review about Coastal Scent's Powder Buffer Brush from Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Set

The swatch on my inner arms. You can barely see the swatch because it really match with my skintone.

Comparison swatch with other BB cream/concealer. See how it really match my skin...

A little product needed for entire my face. Usually a single layer enough to evens out my skin discoloration and cover pores, then add another layer(s) as needed on problematic area. This BB cream makes my blemishes, redness and dark spot much less visible - though I still need concealer to completely cover them all. After applied, I set it with loose powder to get matte finish.

FOTD from here


Pros:

• The shade I pick - #01 Aqua Beige - match my skintone very well
• It doesn't grayish and leaves no white cast  
• The jelly-like gel has unique texture that gives a very lightweight "barely-there" layer, just like my second skin 
• A little goes a long way...
• Easy to spread and blendable
• Pleasant scent 
• Gives cooling sensation when touches skin 
• Medium to full coverage, buildable without cakey
• Doesn't fill or sink into my gigantic pores
• Doesn't oxidize
• Semi-matte finish, dewy after 4 hours
• Doesn't break me out, in fact, it helps me through my acne breakout period without 
• Good oil control, it does oily on my T-zone after 6 hours 
• Decent lasting power, I can use this in the morning and it still on my face on 4 - 5 pm
• Doesn't clog my pores
• Doesn't accentuate dry patches 
• Has SPF 20

Cons:

• I wish it comes with a pump
• The sponge is useless for me 
• The glass container - though it's very cute - is quite bulky, heavy and vulnerable to break if accidentally dropped

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.....

Just simple and quick make up.. No eye make up, no lipstick.. Just do my complexion base and eyebrows.

With my beloved sneak-peeking behind me *LOL*

FOTD - Korean Sweet, Cute & Simple Style

Today my BF came to Jakarta and I planned to pick him up at airport. For this occasion I choosed korean sweet, cute & simple style, put a cute ribbon headband and very simple make up on my face. You can see my bumpy forehead thanks to my periodic hormonal imbalance.

This is taken about 6 hours after application. I forgot to take a picture after application because I was in a hurry that time. Amazing how it stayed on my very oily skin! I didn't blot anyway, but my face wasn't as oily as usual.

Anyway, lately I tried SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (FTE) and Stempower cream. Those product are so great! They made my hormonal acne resolved just in a few days. Several inflamed cystic acnes along both my jawlines were reduce in terms of size and rednes, and some of them were really disappear on the 4th day. I also felt that my skin become healthier, looks more radiant, glowing and bouncy, so supple to touch. I think I'm gonna add SK-II to my daily skincare routine regimens. I also start considering to add their Facial Treatment Cleansing Lotion and their Skin Refining Treatment (SRT)  for my oily comedogenous acne prone skin #phewww...

Love SK-II!
