My Matte Lips Collection

I'm a lipstick person, really. My makeup stash is mostly filled with lip products, whether it's lipstick, lip stain, or lip gloss. And since these days matte lips trend is back, yes I don't want to be left behind, so here's my matte lips collection!

Beauty on November

Wow, it's the end of 2012 already. Now I'd like to share to you about my November when it comes to beauty! Therefore, this post is divided into four; haul, empties, freebies, and favorites. 

Haul:

Sulwhasoo Herb Soap

This has been on my wishlist ever. I am curious about this soap ever since Ai Ni from mylovelysister reviewed it on her blog!

Hada Labo Ultimate Moisturizing Lotion

This is also the result of my curiosity. Yes, I've been thinking for months and now finally I have the hype-Hada Labo! I bought lotion only because I want to see whether this product works well with my skin or not (well, I don't want to throw away my money in exchange of bad breakouts).

Holika Holika Watery Petit BB SPF 25/ PA++

I always love 'dewy' look, and since my current BB cream (Etude House Shini Star Clear BB Lotion) can't give me that, I've been dying for watery kind of BB cream for so long.

FOTD: How Lipstick Shade Can Change The Whole Look

Hi! This time I would like to talk about lipstick shades. Actually, I am a lipstick person, yeah most of my makeups are lip products. From lipbalm, lip stain, lipgloss, lipstick, and so on. And don't forget that I have different shades for one kind of product.

So, one day when I was preparing for my look for Kérastase Fusio-Dose Infusion Night , I was stuck on which lipstick shade should I pick for it. Here are the pictures.

LOOK 1

So, for your information, I was wearing the same whole make up for both look. The only difference is the lipstick shade. For look 1, I use Revlon Superlustrous Lipstick Shade 117 Almost Nude (this is by far my favorite shade, especially for nude look). I love this shade because it has a very nice nude shade that is slightly peach and brightens up my whole look. I guess this look would be suitable for afternoon, for daily wear when you're working or having a class at your college. 

LOOK 2

The second look; look 2 is more dramatic, right? Here I used Viva Lipstick No. 49. It's a warm red-to-orange shade. I love how pigmented and moisturizing this lipstick actually. Despite of its cheap price and the too much fragrance (reminds me of that fragranced-pen when I was a child), the quality is decent. I don't know the price since I got it for free from Viva Cosmetics. Oh I almost forget to mention that this lipstick has some kind of soft glitters on your lips, too. So, I can conclude that this lipstick will be most suitable for night occasion where you want to look more glamorous and dramatic.

Anyway, I have warm undertones, I think that's why most of my lip color comes in warm shades and maybe this is why I look pale when I wear soft pinkish color... Hmm..

For better observation of the products, you can take a look at below:

Swatches on hand

In the end, I chose look 1 because I will attract too many attention when I walk along my neighborhood to the bus shelter. There were a lot of times when I have to hear noises from old men and mothers when I passed them by. -_- Well, that's the price for living in a very conservative country, where we can't truly express ourself (whining).

Anyway, here are the rest of the look:

REVIEW: Revlon Photoready Color Correcting Primer & Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup

Hi, around three days ago I received a package of Revlon Photoready Collection from Revlon Indonesia. The package contained Revlon Photoready Color Correcting Primer, Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup in Medium Beige, and an information booklet about Photoready Collection.

CLEO Cinema Day with REVLON

On July 7th, 2012, I'm lucky to attend this event presented by CLEO and REVLON at Gandaria City. It was a cinema day, watching The Amazing Spiderman at IMAX XXI Gandaria City with fellow beauty bloggers and CLEO readers. I guess some of you may question why Revlon is there? LOL. Well, one of the main cast in The Amazing Spiderman; Emma Stone, who acted as Gwen Stacy, the love interest of young Peter Parker. Nah, Emma Stone is the brand ambassador for Revlon. Got it now?

To be honest, I am never been a fan of any superheroes and its movies. So, when this movie became a hype, I just stayed calm, until I found out that it's Emma Stone who act as Gwen Stacy! YAY! I am always be a big fan of her ever since. She's so funny and she always know how to dress properly. So, at first I tried my luck on CLEO's quiz. Sadly, I failed. Well, not until I saw Stella's post on IBB's FB group. Hihi. Actually, I was late on that (it was posted in the evening, and I just saw it late night), fortunately enough, I could make it.

So, I went to Gandaria City with one of my friends; Reni. We were never been to Gandaria City before, so we ended up coming so late (it was 9 AM, but we came around 10.30 AM), I met Shella, who was late like me. Haha. Another luck, we did not miss that much of the movie and I could still understand the plot.

Well, the movie was awesome (for someone who came up late like me), there are tons of kissing scene haha, and I love Blondie Emma Stone! She always look pretty as usual.

After done watching the movie, we were escorted to METRO Department Store where the Revlon Photoready Collection Pre Launching Event held. At first we have to re-register ourselves then we were welcomed by mini snacks and drinks. The launched products were shown in a train case like this.

tempting, eh?

at the photo booth

There was also mini games where I won one goodie bag from CLEO (yay!) and it continued with the make-up demo by a make-up artist whom the name that I forgot (sorry!). He was using the whole REVLON Photoready collection starting from the Primer, Foundation, until the Eyeshadow and Blush. The model was gorgeous, though. What amazed me the most was the Revlon Photoready Airbrush Mousse Make Up which is so light and results in a very natural look on our face. Its photo-chromatic particles also created some kind of shimmery look which looks a lot like glitter (but it's not).

While wandering around, one of Revlon's BA offered me a mini make over using some of Revlon Photoready Collection. Hihi, unfortunately I forgot to take before and only has this after look. He put Photoready Airbrush Mousse Makeup, Two Way Powder Foundation, Eye Primer+Brightener (which can also be used as concealer), and Sculpting Blush Palette.

To be honest, the Airbrush Mousse Makeup feel so light on my face while providing medium coverage. The Two Way Powder Foundation, which was applied after the mousse concealed my acne scars completely. I love it! Though I don't find the Eye Primer+Brightener satisfying since it can't cover my dark circles. My favorite among those mentioned products is Sculpting Blush Palette! And it comes in 3-in-1 palette which included Highlighter, Blush, and Contour Blush! Perfect for on the go. Fufufu.

So, what's in the goodie bags?

inside

Well, I gotta say that the things inside goodie bags is A LOT. I got four goodie bags including one from winning the games. As you can see there are purple pouch, pink fan, CDs, Revlon Voucher, Compact Powder, and Hair Dye. Actually, I also got The Amazing Spider Man's movie poster, but when I tried to open it, it was torn. Ah, that's so unfortunate since torn part is Emma Stone's! Grr.

 Anyway, the only beauty products that I've got are these two: Revlon Colorsilk in Medium Golden Chestnut Brown and Revlon Photoready Two Way Cake Powder Foundation in Medium Beige (will be reviewed soon). I am so happy since I'm planning to dye my hair, though it's not the color that I want, hehe. Moreover, I don't have any compact powder nor any powder foundation. Basically this is the best gift.

 YAY!

That's it. That's all. I thanked Revlon Indonesia and CLEO for making such a nice event and of course, for giving me the freebies. Moreover, I was so happy because I can meet and took a picture together with my most favorite twitter personality; Fatima Alkaff (@ftkf)! See you all on another beauty event!

My Dear Enemy in Blue

So yesterday I attended the movie screening at Korean Cultural Center titled "My Dear Enemy" with one of my friends; Reni. Since we're both jobless and thus, have nothing to do, we decided to go. Actually, I have a lame story about yesterday. Haha. We took the Kopaja to reach KCC which located in Equity Tower, SCBD. Usually, we always take the 66 bus. Instead of 66, we took the wrong bus, we rode the 620 bus and ended up in Blok M terminal. Oh my God. I'm so stupid hahaha. So, we took 66 bus from Blok M and arrived safely at KCC. We're around 10 minutes late, so when we arrived the movie was already played. Fortunately we were not that late so we can still enjoy the movie without getting confused.
