Review: Hada Labo & Skin Aqua Indonesia

Who doesn't know these brands? I also don't know at first. Poor me!  Do you want to know why?  Because I never watch TV at home...  -__- I'm not joking. So, I knew these beautiful brands from FB group. They're Japanese brands from Rohto . The first thing comes to my mind is the eye drops. It is their best selling product, I think. But now, they have launched many brands too. So, as it is already been produced in Indonesia, the price now is CHEAPER! I mean SUPER CHEAP compared to the 'original' if you bought it from Japan. And it is really easy to get, as you can find it in a big department store like Hypermart. Hada Labo at Hypermart (upper and bottom) Skin Aqua at Hypermart Can you see the price? It's cheap, isn't it. Most of them you can get under IDR 100k / $ 100. I bought some of them for me and my mom. I need sunblock, so I chose  Skin Aqua UV Mild Milk SPF 30  and Hada Labo Ultimate Whitening Lotion . For my mom, I bought he...

Review: TonyMoly - Backstage Self Smokey Eye Collection #1

Tony Moly, what a weird name for cosmetic, don't you think? You can see their web TonyMoly Website What I like is they have English website. It is a good go for Korean cosmetics, doesn't like Holika Holika that don't have English web.. >_< can't browse their products. This brand is quite new compared to Etude House. But this one is a little bit different, you can see from their web, it isn't as cute as another Korean cosmetics. TonyMoly means putting style into packaging . This is one of the most important thing for Korean cosmetics =   the packaging . Their slogan is Chic, Urban, Stylish & Modern. So.. it means not too cute? But, don't worry, they also have cute items out there! I love  all in one  product! It is simple and travel friendly. And quick! Yes, sometimes I'm such in a hurry to do my make up in the car.. ^o^ So I have to catch few items that easy to bring and use. This is one of my reason buying this item. As its name, smokey ...

Review: SkinFood - Extra Virgin Olive Essence

It's been few days since my last post... Phew.. So busy. Now, I want to share my new friend for my hair.  Hair serum, it's a must have for me since the last time, I've so many split hair that I reallyyyy hateee >_< so I'd learned to use hair serum after that. And yes, my hair now is smoother and easy to comb. I've tried few products before. I just bought it few weeks ago. The price is quiet cheap. Less than IDR 100K. But you can get cheaper product from supermarket like Makarizo. But I was bored with the smell and not really like it. Let's jump to the product! Description Containing extra-virgin olive oil, this hair essence gently coats damaged hair. It also contains a polymer silicone complex that makes dry and frizzy hair lustrous and silky smooth. Contains 60ml. Packaging It is a cute bottle made from plastic, love the color! You can see my hand grabs this thing, even my hand is also small ^-^. So it's travel friendly....

I'm in love with 'swirl' cosmetics!

"Swirl Cosmetics"  Are you familiar with it? In fact, I do. Why? Because this has caught my attention so badly.. >_< It reminds me of ICE CREAM. Who doesn't love ice cream? Everyone likes! This has 2 things that I really like: 1. Swirl Ice Cream 2. Cosmetics Swirl Ice Cream       +       Cosmetics     =     Swirl Cosmetics I'm doing some research too and what have I got? Many cosmetic brands have launched their swirl cosmetics from eye shadow, lip gloss, lip stick, lip balm, blush on, BB cream, face primer, foundation, bb cream, etc . Let's have a look! Here are some products from MAC, Estee Lauder, Stila, Loreal, Etude, Missha, Holika Holika, Banila, etc Swirl Cosmetics from various brands The good thing is you have more than 1 color in one place. More like 2in1, somehow it makes me happier because in my mind I keep telling myself, yes! I got more benefit. Silly? >_< Actually it's ...

Review: Bioglo - Visibly Soft Milk Mask

Bioglo. Have you ever heard of it? It is a brand from Cosway, a company based in Malaysia, and selling their items through franchise that we can find in Indonesia, eCosway shops at mall. Bioglo is one of their best brand. From mask, facial wash, cream, shower gel, etc.  The products are affordable. Especially if you are a member, you can get monthly deal (discount changes every 1,5 months). I bought this one for a special deal. So... I'm interested in reviewing this baby, yes, its name soft milk reminds me of baby skin. The mask comes with a box that contains 4pcs, wrapped in aluminium packaging like in the pic. Quiet neat and really simple. Different from Korean product that always wrapped on by one with nice design and comes with retail, no box. Description: Bioglo Visibly Soft Milk Mask delivers all the goodness of milk to intensely moisturise, nourish and renew skin from within, leaving it dewy-soft, smooth and supple. Enjoy its light, creamy scent tha...

Nail Art - Candy Pastel Balloons

Hi... This is my first time posting about nail art. *blushing* I don't have pretty nails, never have long nails because I don't like it (disturbing my working, typing, etc) ,>_<, Really sorry for that. So the posting of my nail art, as you can see, always for short nails. And my nail shape is more like square, so be prepare for square short nails. I am your girl! ;) Sorry for messy application, because I haven't got enough time to clean it up and a little bit hard to paint with white color. This one is an easy one, you don't need any additional tools. But isn't it cute like ca ndy pastel bal loons ? LOL.. After I checked on my nails tools, I have forgotten that I had a nail art book. So glad I found it... This is a Japanese book contains nail art sample. I have to checked on my sister, where did I get this book, and she said that I was the one who'd bought it *shame on me*. The book looks pretty cute right.. All in Japanese but I just see the...

Review: Revlon - Color Burst Lip Butter #025 Peach Parfait

Who's never heard of it??? This color burst range is really booming. Revlon, you're really something ;* Amazing color lines, you've got to be kidding me if I only choose one. But I like to try many items, so I chose this peach color. The best of all, it's paraben-free. Many cosmetic companies, nowadays, making their product paraben-free. It will catch the market. Jump to mine. Packaging is classy, like chanel. Don't you think? Remind me of chanel bags *Lol* Just the material is super plastic. Can't you see mine, already cracked (see the bottom cap). I like the lipgloss more for packaging, but I haven't bought it so I'll show you next time if I have bought it. It's a lip balm, with color, and gloss. So the top of it is a flat oblique. Typical lip balm. I'm still confused until now, why is it lip balm always flat, and lipstick doesn't. Do let me know if you know the answer ;) Tho color I chose, it's not really pea...

Review: Holika Holika - Jewel Waterproof Pencil & Liquid Eyeliner

I have many reviews that still waiting to be posted. But I skipped, because today I just received my order from Gmarket. Yeah... this is my 3rd time purchase from Korea. Received in 2 weeks after payment. This one has a very good deal! Super cheap... Buy 1 get 1 free! What a deal!! Holika holika is still a new brand in Korea. Not as famous as Etude House, but I think it is booming, too. Their items are very cute and unique for some items. This is my first Holika Holika. Unfortunately, I can't browse their product because they don't have English web. What a pity. Such a shame. I really want to see their various items. Jewel Waterproof Pencil & Liquid Eyeliner is quite a steal. It is one of best seller item from Holika Holika. I think soo... I have seen it a lot from blog to blog. Anyway, I want to review mine, too. I bought two items: 1. Jewel Light Waterproof Pencil  Eyeliner #5 Brown 2. Jewel  Waterproof  Liquid Eyeliner #1 Black + FREE GIFT: Skinfood Wate...

Review: Etude House - Surprise Essence Concealer #1

Concealer is a must have for me, especially under eye concealer. I really need it to cover my panda eyes... Oh.. I don't like it, always be a problem. -__- This concealer series come with 2 types, liquid and stick. I don't like stick concealer because harder to blend, so I choose liquid. I bought this as I think this can cover my panda eyes. But I think, I really need a concealer that focusing on under eye. Because now I have learned, they have different texture. Jump to that later! Cute and clean packaging. Usually Etude House comes with cuter items >_<, one of the reasons why people buy and fall in love with it. But this one is just simple. Nice & simple packaging The texture is liquid and quite thick, I think because it is an all purpose concealer, so the coverage will be better. Brighter than my skin tone but blend nicely. Liquid, thickness medium (Upper side) Blend nicely, good coverage I want to use it as my under eye concealer, but i...

Review: Skinfood - Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea BB SPF20 PA+ #2

BB Cream, one of my 'Must Have' item.. This one is a cheap BB cream, more like everyday use. Skinfood isn't my fav brand for BB Cream, but I have tried some of them. Skinfood release this line of BB Cream a while ago. Cute... All about tea! I tried Honey Black Tea, as it is suitable with my skin type, Normal-Dry. Description: This is a moisturizing and illuminating BB cream with sweet honey and flavorful red tea that keeps skin soft and supple. With 20 PA+ I love Honey Black Tea range from skinfood also. I've used its jelly facial foam. Love the smell, the texture and result. So I think this also fits into their range too. The outer packaging is very cute. Simple but cute, it looks like a tea bag with cup shaped hole that fits the inside drawing of the bottle. It has SPF, yay.. Even though it just 20, but quite good. I bought shade #2 and I think it is darker than my skin tone. Should've bought #2. But it's still OK because do remember that...
