Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Foam & Whitening Day Care

Hello lovelies! 

This time I'd like to share to you about my experience using these two products fron Nivea; Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Foam and Whitening Day Care.

*Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Foam*

This foam is formulated specially for Asian women's skin. It contains White Pure Actives to help brightens up the skin and White Crystallites to create more radiance to your bright skin. It cleans your skin without removing natural moisture from your skin.

I've been using this for around 2 weeks and I love this foam! It doesn't leave my skin tightened up after washing my face. The fragrance is soft and nice too. For the brightening effect, well it somehow brightens up my complexion, though it's not that significant.

For a consumer product, this foam left me impressed as it does its job great.

*Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Day Care*

This cream works on the skin surface and deeper layer to help brighten up your complexion. It contains the combination of White Crystallites and White Pure Actives to brighten up the skin. Moreover it also contains Carnitine to help preventing the excess production of oil and UVA/UVB to protect our skin from the bad of sun light.

I always use this right after washing my face with Nivea Visage Sparkling White Whitening Foam. The texture is between runny and creamy. The fragrance is too much for me. FYI, I have a very sensitive nose, so I prefer mild, soft-scented products. It will be better if the product is fragrance-free. But for those of you who have no problem with fragrance, I guess it will be okay.

Move on to the result. It gives me matte- finish which I have love-hate relationship towards it. On some occassions, the matte-finish looks great while others making me dull.

Talking about the UV protection claim, I suggest those who use this cream to wear sunscreen/ sunblock afterwards. This is because his product doesn't state any amount of SPF/PA on its product. So the level of protection might not be sufficient to protect our skin from the bad of sun light, especially judging from our lovely climate. Afer all, Indonesia is a tropical country with sun shine all year long. So don't forget to add sunscreen/ sunblock right after if you decide to use this day cream.

Both products don't cause me any breakouts nor any trouble to my skin (redness, itchiness, dry), so I am confidently saying thay these two products from Sparkling White line are recommended!

And, happy Valentine's Day everyone! ♡*｡+

utoTIA 2012 Favorites: MAKE UP

Happy New Year! And here is my list of Favorite Make Up Products during 2012 and short review about it. :)

MAKE UP

BB Cream - Rojukiss Spot Light BB Cream ♥

This BB Cream attracts me from the very first time I try it! Though the consistency of this cream is quite thick, I just ignore it and I am stunned by its result. The shade available is only one and surprisingly it match my skin tone, perfectly. It does its job covering my big pores and hiding dark spots on my face. Moreover the staying power is good (around 6-7 hours).  OK, I think I babble too much because I really love this BB cream!

Loose Powder - Belif Awesome Sun Powder SPF 50+ PA+++

Image taken from BELIF Official Website

This sun powder is in a form of compact powder but has loose powder finish. And yes, though the shade seems too light for everyone, especially Asians, the result is translucent. So, everyone can use this powder, my friends who have olive and medium skin tone can also wear this without looking like a ghost. I love the scent, it's fresh and citrus-like fragrance.

Compact Powder - MAKEOVER Perfect Cover Two Way Cake in Sandy Beige

I always hate to wear powder, especially compact powder. But this one is the only exception. I love how natural the shade is, and it gave me full coverage, too. I could not ask for more from this compact powder. 

Blush - Face on Face Nourishing Blush in Blooming Rose

You will never underestimate Indonesian local brand anymore once you try this blush. I didn't expect that this blush will be my favorite, but, the performance speak louder. The shade is matte, means it will give the cheeks sheen finish. But I don't mind, I'm getting bored with shimmering blushes and this one stays on my cheek for more than 5 hours. *happy*

Eye Primer - Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer

I bought this  out of impulsive buying habit. Didn't expect that this primer can bring my eyeshadow color alive, even Viva Eyeshadow Duo! Wow, it's like magic you know, daily I've been using that eyeshadow and no one notice it.. Until I prime my eyelid with this. Everyone asked me what brand did I use, LOL.

Eye Brow - Etude House Easy Brow Pencil #1

This one has unique brown color which gave me natural eyebrow. It's not too light unlike Viva Eye Brow Pencil, nor too dark like any other black pencil. Plus, it has built-in brush, so practical and very helpful! Since this product almost running out, I'm planning to search for charcoal/ grey pencil.

Eye Liner - SILKYGIRL Double Intense Gel Eye Liner 01 Pure Black

Texture is really soft and smooth. The color is really, really intense. The only drawback is the brush applicator. Aside from it, everything's perfect.

Mascara - Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes 01 So Black!

I was disappointed before by this product. Well, it clumps and it smudges easily. Time after time, I am learning, and yes, it's not the product, it's just that I don't know the right way to apply it! Really gives you the doll eyes-look. Updated review coming soon.

Eye Shadow - All shades from NYX Soho Glam Collection Eyeshadow Palette

My first and best palette so far. Even without any primer. Favorite shade? Try bronze. Really, really pigmented. Blushes are lovely as well.

Lipstick - REVLON Superlustrous Lipstick Creme 117 Almost Nude

Very nice color, a combination of nude and pink. It really gives me nice finish, really lovely color. Not too pale, not too brownish. I hit the bottom in a year, a very rare occasion on lipstick for me.

Lip Stain - Etude House Dear Darling Tint #03 Red Orange

The texture is gel-like, unlike Tony Moly which is very liquid. If you're accidentally lick it, the taste is nice too. I love the red-orange result.

Concealer - MAX FACTOR Mastertouch Under-Eye Concealer Ivory 303

Very cheap. Worth the price, does great job covering my dark spots and acne scars. Also perfect for highlighting. But, sheer coverage for under-eye (unlike its name).
