June Beauty Haul

Hehe, hello!

It's been a long time since I last posted. I've been busy anyway. So, for this new post, I would like to try to share with you about my beauty haul. Hehehe, since I'm a newbie, please mind the quality of pictures and the variety of the products. I promise to do better! :)

What I bought:
1. Clean & Clear Essentials Oil-Control Toner
2. Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand & Heel Cream
3. Etude House Nail remover - Acetone-Free
4. Etude House Tint Gloss
5. Tony Moly Mini Tint - Cherry Pink
6. Carrefour Discount Facila Cotton
7. Mask Sponge (No Label)

So, I ran out of toner a few days ago, and since I find toners are quite expensive to buy, I decided to have emergency toner first, and here it goes: Clean & Clear Essential Oil Control Toner. I used to use this toner with Clean & Clear Facial Wash and Moisturizer during my high-school days. I stop using this a few years ago because it's rare! And because of its temporary rarity, I decided to skip toner in my beauty routine (I know I was horrible). Then, when my toner ran out, I found this in Carrefour, only cost me around Rp 10.000,- (Around $1). I've been using this only for 3 days until now, and I can say that this toner is okay. I have not experienced any soreness or itchiness on my face and it helps my acne too (I have some breakouts due to my hormonal issues).

Repurchase: YES

Then I also bought some babies from Korean cosmetic brand: Etude House. I bought them both online and in counter. I also ran out of my Nail Polish Remover, so I decided to bought it and luckily, Etude House had a promotion of 100% Cash Back! So I got this Nail Polish Remover but I can get same amount of voucher to buy other products. Thanks Etude House Indonesia! After that, I purchase Hand and Heel Cream from Hand Bouquet edition, and it's still wrapped, until now. I haven't use both this products because I haven't needed it yet. Last from Etude House is Tint Gloss. I use it a few times, and it's lovely. But you got to mix it with lipstick or lip tint in order to have good result. I mix it because if I use it alone, there will be no significant color pop out from my lip (I hate that, I always want a hint of clear color on my lip in any occassion). I will upload the swatch later. ;)

Repurchase: Haven't decided it yet

Last product is Tony Moly Mini Tint - Cherry Pink. So actually I was scared to try this lip tint since I tried it before when my friend offered me to try her Tony Tint in Red Apple. Why? Because I look like a dracula whom just suck human's blood when I put that on my lips! Eww. But, since all of my friends are curious about it, I finally purchase it and surprisingly LOVE it! I only need one daub with its applicator and I only daub it on my lower lips. So easy and it saves the product, so that I can use it longer :p.

Repurchase: YES

Besides beauty products, I also bought beauty tools, like this mask sponge. So I was reading a beauty blog when the owner of the blog wipe her face after wash it with this sponge. Then I thought, well it looks good and handy, since I don't have to spend so many tissue to wipe my wet face and I don't have to risk my face hygiene wiping it with towel. So I decided to buy this. It only costs me Rp 9.000 (less than $1). And I can use it for both wiping my face after wash it and after mask!

Repurchase: NO. I guess it will be long-lasting product



So, that is my June Beauty Haul and a little bit review of some products that I purchased. Hope you like it! :D

Pastel Mood

On this Friday, I decided to go to my office with pastel: top-to-toe. Haha. Just to complete that look I applied some nail polish to my hands and re-polish my toe nails. The nail polish I used are The Skin Food Nail Vita Apple Green (BL 505) and Rose Bay (PK 213).

swatch on my fingers. grrr, it's so cute!

It comes in 13ml bottle

they match with my bracelet, so cute :3

FOTD : Flawless Complexion

So, today I decided to wake up earlier than my usual days. Since I wake up 2 hours earlier, I decided to put on more complete steps in make-up. So here it goes like this:
1. After taking a bath and washing my face (of course) with a facial foam, I began using Face Toner (I still use Etude Sea In a Bottle) and pat it to my whole face.

2. I applied a Vaseline Lip Balm to moisture my lip and leave it for the next step.

3. I know this is weird, but I use Lotion/ Emulsion both for night and day. I treat it as moisturizer so I applied it all over my face and neck (I use Etude House Aqua Sherbet Lotion, still ;p )

4. I let it dry for a moment while I chose for my outfit for the day.

5. After the lotion was absorbed to my face, I applied Etude House Eye's Cream Cooling Mint since my eyes was swollen so bad (I don't know why since I had enough sleep hours last night)

6. Then the face ritual begins..

7. I applied Etude House Pore Erasing Peach Base #1 Mint. FYI, This works as primer/ make up base, which functioned to help your make up stays longer. So, if you want a long-lasting make up, it is better to put primer/make-up base before applying foundation/ BB Cream and continue with Powder (if you do). I chose #1 Mint shade because despite of my face tone which is better match with Purple shade, I love how it covered up my blemish redness and made me look more pale (I love being pale, yeah, weird?). Moreover, since I have large pores, this base works damn well covering up those larger pores. I love that! The only thing that I hate about this base is the packaging. It comes in a jar and spatula. It's bothersome, at least for a lazy person like me.

8. After applying base, I applied BB Cream. I used Etude House Shini Star Clear BB Lotion. Bought it online a few days ago. I am a very picky person. And I can say that this BB Cream works best with me so far (I've tried Etude House Precious Minerals All Day Strong, Missha M Perfect Cover, The Skin Food Aloe Vera). What's more? It's cheaper if you compare it among other BB Cream brands. I bought it for IDR 115000 (around $10)

9. There, After that, the last thing I've done to make my complexion looks flawless is apply concealer under my eye. I apply it all around my eyes (seen it on another beauty blog), and it works! (Riska said to me today that the application is good :*)

For the rest of it I use:

Cheek: The Body Shop Cheek Colour 02 Raspberry Pink
Brow: mix of Etude House Easy Brow Pencil #1 Dark Brown with some unbranded black eyebrow pencil
Bronzer: Oriflame Giordani Bronzer
Concealer: Etude House Light Fit Concealer
Eye Liner: Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner Black
Lip Liner: Artdeco Soft Lip Liner Waterproof #17 shiny rosewood
Lipstick: Clinique Different Lipstick Angel Red
Eyeshadow and Shading: Viva Eyeshadow Duo 02
Highlight: Etude House Glittery Powder (forgot the exact name, edit this later :p)

 Sorry for the messy post. I'm a newbie. :)

 

So how do you think?

Quick Post: ARTDECO Soft Lip Liner Waterproof

 

So, I bought this lip liner about last week and started to use it a few days ago. I'm not a fan of this brand, though the texture of its lipstick is very soft and moisture (so it doesn't get my lips chapped), but the shades don't attract me. So I gave it a try and all that I can say is I love it! Though the texture of the tip is a little bit hard but the color is good and just like the name, it's really waterproof and have a long lasting color. 

You can visit Artdeco's official website here

And here's the product description of the lip liner from Artdeco's official website:

Waterproof lip liner

The specifically developed formula of the Soft Lip Liner makes it extremely long-lasting. After drying, it is wiping-resistant and waterproof. So it prevents the lipstick from bleeding. The pleasantly creamy texture assures a simple and precise application. The Soft Lip Liner can be shaded out directly after application and is characterized by an especially good color coverage and high opacity.

Contains natural antioxidants and Vitamin E. Fragrance-free.

Here are my amateur pictures of my lip liner (I'm using Blackberry, yeah, I know the camera sucks):

So, just like the above picture, even after I wash my hand with soap, thoroughly, it still stays there. And at last, I tried to spray my handy clean (it contains alcohol 60%), and wipe it with tissue, it still needs some time to clean it. So I guess it's really waterproof, next time I have to clean it with oil-based make up remover. But, I love the color! Especially since lately I've been a fan of nude lip. 

Re-purchase? Definitely! I use this every time, so I guess it won't last that long on me :p

Have a nice day, everyone!

New Hair

Finally decided to cut my hair! I just have it trimmed a little to get to my previous hair style. As usual, My hair look best in shaggy. Oh, I also cut my bangs, I've been in no-bangs period for quite long time (5 months if I'm not mistaken) because I wanted to try living with no-bangs. Haha, it worked well with me, especially with my wide forehead, no one noticed that (at least no one mocked me :p). But, the shortfall is that it got oily easily since my skin is combination one (it will only gets oily on the T-zone), and I hate that. So, I told the hair stylist to cut my bangs short, just above my eyebrow. I feel fresher now!

don't notice the change? well, it's tidier :p
