Red Lips: Burberry Union Red No.17

 I treated myself to a really awesome lipstick this week. I can't wait to show this baby off on our honeymoon! Shall I wear it to a Parisian café or dinner in Venice? Oh getting so excited! Don't red lips make you feel sexy?

Tricks For Getting The Perfect Red Lips by Burberry Makeup Artists

- Get a great lip liner similar in color. This will prevent your lipstick from spreading (aka bleeding).
-Use a lip brush to apply color
-Apply extra color to the center of your lips, it will make your lips appear fuller. This is the first place where lipstick tends to fade, so lay it on thick!
-To avoid the dreaded lipstick teeth...put your index finger in your mouth and gently close your lips around it, then pull your finger out. Any extra lipstick will come off on your finger. Keep those pearly whites bright!
-POWDER! Carefully apply facial powder just beyond your lip liner. This will help keep everything in place and give you lips that extra pop.

Burberry Union Red No. 17 Lipstick

I really love it. It glides on smooth and lasts for hours. Burberry lipstick is on the pricier side but I think it's well worth the money. They have several rich colors to choose from and each lipstick is blended with rose extract, which smells amazing!

Haul + Review: L'oreal, EOS, Eco Tools, The Body Shop

L’oreal Youth Code Pre-Essence

From the advertising:

Give your day cream a hydrating boost with Youth Code Serum. Youthfulness, skin that look younger, smoother & brighter.

Advanced Pro-Gen™ Technology boosts the skin’s recovery power, restoring skin’s youth. The light texture penetrates deep into the skin to dramatically improve skin quality and amplify the effect of any skincare used on top. Youth Code is suitable for all skin types and any age.

In 1 drop: More Radiant

In 1 week: More Refined
In 1 month: Rejuvenated Skin

Sounds seductive and promising right? I hope I find miracle in the bottle but unfortunately this not it. I have used it for about 2-3 weeks now and I don’t see any improvement on my skin. It just a decent moisturizer.

Texture? Watery and runny, absorbs easily into my skin without leaving oily feeling. Smells nice, a light clean, and fresh floral scent, however I prefer no fragrance at all in my facial skin care. Packaging? I love the luxurious thick glass bottle but the ‘long pipe’ is hard to use. It turns messy every time I dip the pipe back into the bottle.

Price?  Rp 250.000,- but I get it for free. If I use my own money I expect a better product. I just get a standard serum that contains these ingredients: water binding agents, peptides, cell-communicating ingredients, antioxidants etc. These are all good. However the 4th ingredient is alcohol - which could be irritating and isn't good for any skin type. If they had left out the alcohol, this would have been a better product.

Will it permanently affect wrinkles in a positive way? I don’t think so. It just going to smooth the skin.  Just like any other regular moisturizer.

The Body Shop Chocomania Body Butter

From The Body Shop website:

"This decadently chocolatey Body Butter gives extra long-lasting hydration. It contains 13 Community Fair Trade ingredients - the most we've ever put into one product. It leaves skin sweetly scented, and feeling softer and smoother.
Wear it, love it, but don't eat it."

I love The Body Shop body butters. When I saw the Chocomania range on their store, of course the body butter is the first product from Chocomania range that I tried. I just want to tell you that I immediately falling in love with this product! It smells delicious! A mouthwatering dark chocolate and a little bit ‘nutty’.

Texture? Some other body butters are stickier (Shea & Cocoa) some others are lighter (Sweet Lemon & Olive) to me Chocomania is just in the middle of that. Moisturizing without greasy feeling. Does anybody know is it limited edition or not? I hope The Body Shop will make this line permanent in their collection because I just love it so much.

Price: Rp 189.000,-

EOS Lip Balm 'Honeysuckle Honeydew'

From EOS website:

Can a lip balm make you smile? We think so. That’s why we invented this one.

Long-lasting moisture. Shea butter & vitamin E. Smoothes on clear. New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips. Twist-off top. Gluten-free. Paraben-free. Petrolatum-free. Phthalate-free

eos lip balm is 95% organic, 100% natural, and paraben and petrolatum free. Packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos keeps your lips moist, soft and sensationally smooth.
directions

Twist off top. Pucker up. Smooth on. Smile.

I got this little ‘ball balm’ form indomakeup.com this is my second EOS lip balm that I have ever tried. Honeysuckle Honeydew smells just like honeydew, it moisturized, and leaves a sweet taste that I like.  Be careful, the packaging tends to get dirty easily but I will definitely try another flavor after I finish this one.

Price: Rp 68.000,-

Ecotools Bamboo 5 Pieces Brush Set

The Advertising says:

• 4 high-quality brushes inside a natural cotton & hemp linen bag
• Soft, cruelty-free bristles
• Natural & recycled materials

This earth-friendly brush set is packed with the 4 high-quality brushes you need to look beautiful. And, it shows respect for the planet:
• Bamboo handle has a low impact on the earth’s resources as it is a highly sustainable plant.
• Synthetic taklon bristles are 100% cruelty free.
• Sleek ferrule is made from recycled aluminum.
• Cosmetic case is made from natural cotton and hemp

HOW TO USE:

Mineral Powder Brush
• Apply powder or mineral foundation all over face in a circular, buffing motion and work inward towards nose.

Concealer Brush

• Use with liquid or mineral powder concealer for more coverage on blemishes and under eyes.

Eye Shading Brush

• Expertly cut to apply and blend powder eye shadows.

Baby Kabuki

• Buff powder over areas that need more coverage.

Just like the EOS lip balm I got this brush set from indomakeup.com. My favorite thing from the set is the powder brush, I use it for applying blush. It soft but packed the pigment nicely. The baby kabuki is also good for applying powder, both compact of loose.

The concealer brush doesn’t work for me to apply concealer, so I use it for applying eye shadow. The eye shading brush is a little bit too big for my eyes shape, so I use it to contour my nose and my cheek.

Overall I really like this brush set. Good quality and small enough to carry around.

Price: Rp 168.000,-

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Rp 89.000,-

From The Body Shop website:

“A natural, targeted solution to help clear blemishes quickly and effectly without over drying the skin. Also helps to soothe blemished skin.”

When I bought this product, I have a hard time figured out how to open the cap. But now I finally master the art of opening this tea tree oil. Just like the description on top I use it on my blemishes, it helps but it just takes time for this oil to dry up the acne. I haven’t found the acne medication that works well on me. Do you have any suggestion? Please tell me on the comment below.

Etude Hause Review

I went to the Etude House event at Mall Taman Anggrek last week. They were re-launching their boutique, it was crowded but all the girls looked excited. Too bad I forgot to bring my camera, I can’t show you how pretty the interior was. All I can say, everything is very girly, white and pink, with a beautiful shiny crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the store.

And the best part Etude House gave the first 250 attendees an awesome goody bag worth of Rp 500.000,- (plus awesome discount and amazing additional freebies that day). Overall it was a very fun experience. Now let’s take a look at these little goodies

Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Powder Wash

From the website:

“Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Powder Wash gently exfoliates skin with a powder texture and penetrates pores to absorb oil and residues for a thorough cleanse.”

The powder has a fine texture. It is not harsh, it is not going to tear you skin. I mix a small amount of product with a little bit of water and it dissolves into this milky consistency. It has a slight smell of milk/coconut too. The result? It did clean face very well without being drying or oily. My face felt smooth after use it.

Aloe Moistfull Skin Care Kit (Soothing Skin, Soothing Lotion, Soothing Cream)

From the website:

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Skin is a gel skin (toner) with enriched Baobab Tree extracts  and Organic Aloe, and supplies instant, full-charged moisture to the skin just like Aloe  juice.”

Buyers beware, because of the ‘aloe juice like’ consistency and the packaging, I almost waste a half bottle at the first time I used it! It didn’t absorb right away to the cotton ball, it spilled everywhere. Just be patient, you’ll get used to it.

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Lotion is a milk textured lotion containing Baobab Tree extracts and Organic Aloe that soothes the skin with soft and comfortable wear.”

“Moistfull Aloe Soothing Cream is formulated with enriched Baobab Tree extracts and Organic Aloe and supplies full-charged moisture deep into the skin and keeps moisture level.”

I believe the Aloe Moistfull Skin Care Kit is addressed towards people with dry skin. I have oily skin, I tried it and this product doesn’t cause a breakout. It just makes my skin oilier. I definitely recommend this product to people with dry skin.

Dear Darling Ultra Shine Lips No. 4

I was scared when I open the tube and look at the color. It just so bright, shimmery, and orange! Fortunately it goes quite sheer when applied to the lips. Subtle enough for day, glam enough for night. Another plus, it moisturized and has a nice creamy texture.

Pomegranate Mask

I got this mask for Rp 5.000,- a very good deal indeed! But I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t give you my opinion, one girl at the store told me that the pomegranate mask smells really good, Sold! I love nice smelling thing. On the packaging it says this essence mask contains pomegranate that nourish for a healthy complexion.

Black nailpolish

Self explanatory. I also got the nailpolish for Rp 5.000,-

Missing U hand Cream #1 this is “harp seal story”

Because of spending Rp 10.000,- on the nailpolish and mask I got a chance to ‘spin the wheel’ and got another additional gift, so I got this baby. How adorable is the packaging? Very cute right? it does a good job to moisturized my hand. however when typing on my keyboard, I find it a little bit too oily.  So I don’t recommend using this and then typing on the computer or cell phone. The scent? it smells okay, light citrusy scent. Nothing earth-shattering but still a nice smelling product.

And I got the Rp 50.000,- gift voucher and card name holder, thank you so much Etude House

So, have you tried any product I mention above? What do you think about it? What is your favorite product from Etude House? Tell me on the comment below

Orange Lips

I got myself a lovely orange lipstick yesterday (Revlon in Siren). What do you think about orange lips? A do or a don't? Personally, I think it looks fun and beachy as well as intriguingly sophisticated. I guess it just depends on what look your going for. For me, I like the sunkissed look with messy hair and some awesome orange lips! It gets me in the mood for summer.

Review: L’oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer

After reading a lot of reviews online, I have decided to purchase this primer by L’oreal. This velvet matte texture primer is suppose to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, hide pores, and correct skin imperfections. Contains silicon oils and soft light podwers created a smooth formula to prepare the skin for further makeup application.  

Pros:

This product doesn’t break me out. I used to be worry about this primer giving me acne because of the silicon oils in it, but after tried it for the last few weeks I can tell you this primer doesn’t cause blemishes on my skin.

It does hide my pore. I have oily-acne prone skin with big pores around my cheek and this primer conceals everything well. This product makes my pore less noticeable.

It makes my makeup last longer. Before I tried this product, usually after an hour wearing foundation or powder I always had to blot my face with my Clean & Clear Oil Blotting Sheets. After I use this primer I don’t have to blot as much.

This product makes a good eyeshadow primer too. Usually my eyeshadow tends to crease easily but after I use this my eyeshadow stays neat for a longer time.

A little goes a long way. A small amount can cover my entire face.If you pick up too much product, it will be hard to even out this primer on your skin.

Doesn’t have annoying strong smell.

It makes my skin feel so smooth and silky.

Cons:

The packaging can be unhygienic. You put your finger to the pot and transferring germs. My tips: wash your hand before you use it or take a cotton bud and dip it to the pot to get the product out. Use new cotton but every time you use it.

For the amount of product you get I’ll say this primer is on the pricier side, I got mine for  Rp 149.000,- (about USD $ 16)

Overall I really enjoy my primer and I recommend this product to everyone.

FOTD + Review of Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection and Clarins Joli Rouge

Hi all Vixens out there, I won Clarins Twitter contest and they sent me this two products. For more giveaways please follow @ClarinsID on Twitter. After more than a week playing with these two things, here I give you my thought about these products.

Clarins Joli Rouge in 731 Rose Berry

No flash

With flash 

I think this is a very nice underrated lipstick. I never hear someone talking about this product before. Such ironies because for me, this is literally the most comfortable lipstick I ever try. Even better than MAC lipstick. Very creamy, very moisturizing, no waxy feeling, long lasting, amazing pigmentation, and nice heavy packaging. The color I have is ‘Rose Berry’, it looks very dark in the tube, but one or two swipes on the lips give me a natural mauve color. Very lovely! Overall I really want to try another Joli Rouge and I recommend this lipstick to everyone.

 Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen High Protection

This sunscreen is very lightweight. The consistency is like water, very ‘liquid’ and thin in texture. When I apply it on my face it goes on smoothly and slightly sticky, but do not worry because it absorbs quick and dries matte. The downside for me is the scent. I just don’t like the scent, it is not a super strong scent but It just not a good scent for me, I believe everyone is going to have a different opinion about the smell but I just don’t like it. If you don’t mind a little bit scent in your sunscreen then I say go for this product.

Revlon Colorstay Lip Liner in Natural

I bought this lip liner last week and love it! This color is beautiful and light enough to pencil-in your whole lip (don't forget to add a bit of gloss on top).

50 All Natural Beauty Products You Can Make Yourself

This is Amazing! 50 DIY all natural beauty products! Love it!

My Favorite Foundation!

I was in need of a new foundation for quite some time. Last weekend I went to South Coast Plaza and had the Bare Escentuals Boutique find a mineral foundation for my hard-to-match skin color. They found one and I love it! I would even dare to say that it's the best foundation I've ever used. Great coverage and it's better for your skin than an oil based liquid foundation.

My skin is on the lighter side...

I got Golden Fair Original SPF 15 Foundation for $26. 

Pick your shade and give it a try!

What kind of makeup do you use? What are your favorite cosmetic products?

Give me the scoop ladies!

Tag! I tag everyone!!!

Hi girls, I found this tag on Youtube and I want to share my answers to all of you

MAKEUP
blush or bronzer? I prefer blush, my favorite right now is Revlon Powder blush in ‘Soft Spoken Pink, it just a very natural sheer medium pink color. I rarely wear bronzer because everytime I try to use it, my complexion just looks dull and ‘dirty’ maybe I haven’t found the right product or the right technique? I don’t know girls…just let me know if you have a suggestion.
lip gloss or lipstick? both. it just depends on my mood.

eye liner or mascara? mascara, but now, I’m in love with my MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in ‘Blacktrack’ this cream eyeliner seriously stays put.

foundation or concealer? concealer, can’t live without my MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35. Love this product. Foundation is too heavy for me.

neutral or color eye shadow? both, again this is really depends on my mood.

pressed or loose eye shadows? pressed, I don’t like powder because it can be messy! Fall outs and everything.

brushes or sponges? brushes.

NAILS
Long or short? short. I think a very long nails look tacky.

Acrylic or natural? I prefer natural all the way.

Brights or darks? depends on my mood. I do love black, burgundy, and navy but sometimes I use pale pink, lavender, blue, or red.

Flower or no flower? no flower. Crazy nail art just creeps me out.

BODY
perfume or body splash? perfume all the way! I’m a perfume addict! Right now I’m rotating among CK “Euphoria”, Carolina Herrera “CH”, and Gucci “Guilty”. Although I love Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works body sprays J

lotion or body butter? both. Lotion on daily basis and body butter when I want to feel pampered. The Body Shop mango and shea body butters are my all time favorite, now I’m curious about their lemon and wild cherry body butters.

body wash or soap? both. Trying different scents, different shapes, and ingredients are always fun. I really want to try more Lush product, but seriously that stuff is very expensive in my country.

FASHION:
jeans or sweat pants? jeans.
long sleeve of short? short but not sleeve less.
dresses or skirts? dresses. It is easier, you don’t have to think about mix and match.
stripes or plaid? stripes
flip flops or sandals? both but I think sandals are cuter
scarves or hats? scarves
studs or dangly earrings? both
necklaces or bracelets? both
heels or flats? flats. I’m 5’7 tall (170 cm) and in my country I considered to be a tall girl. Wearing heels and everybody are going to stare.
cowboy boots or riding boots? riding boots! So much sexier
jacket or hoodie? jacket although I admit hoodie is much more comfy.

HAIR:
curly or straight? I like them both.
bun or ponytail? both, just depends on my mood
bobby pins or butterfly clips? bobby pins.
hair spray or gel? light to medium hold hair spray! Don’t like the super strong one and I don't like gel either.
long or short? long hair like Victoria’s Secret angels J
light or dark? I like them both as long it still looks natural.
side sweep bangs or full bangs? no bangs! I had tried sweep, I had tried blunt and I don't want to go back (at least, not in the near future)
up or down? both, depends on my mood.

RANDOM
Rain or shine? ummm cloudy?
Summer or winter? summer on the beach J Everyday is summer in my country and seriously… it gets super hot everyday
Fall or spring: fall
Chocolate or vanilla: to eat? chocolate I love dark chocolate. To smell? vanilla.

I tag everyone!!! but especially I really want to hear the answers from some of fellow beauty bloggers here:

Me and Martina's Beauty Haul from Malaysia: Perfumes, MAC, Sephora, The Body Shop, Rimmel, etc

Hi everyone! I’m really sorry I’m not writing on this blog lately, I’ve been really busy with work, family stuff, internship preparation, and everything. But a few days ago I had a chance to take a short trip to Kuala Lumpur with my aunt and my cousin, so these are what we bought :D

Anna Sui “ Flight of Fancy “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 190 )

This one belongs to my cousin, Martina, and I’m so in love with this perfume! Especially the packaging and the bottle, so girly and adorable. The perfume itself smells so fresh and invigorating, perfect for teenager or young women ( or young at heart ;D ), this perfume is not too mature or too childish, beautiful scent for summer.

Carolina Herrera “ 212 “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 244 )

My aunt bought this for my mother. It is my mother’s favorite perfume. Smells elegant and classy.

And we got samples too :D I've been loving Calvin Klein "Euphoria" for such a long time, but I never buy it, I always chose another fragrance on the store.

And at Sephora my aunt and my cousin bought this two lipsticks and lipgloss, unfortunately we forget the price so we can’t really tell you 

Sephora goodies!

Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua for Men ( RM 173 )

Again, my aunt bought this for my other cousin, CK Eternity for Men is his signature fragrance, and so my aunt decided to bought him Eternity Aqua, which equally nice smelling.

The Body Shop “ Dreams Unlimited “ Eau de Parfum (RM 115)

 This one is belongs to Martina, to me it smells like the softer and weaker version of Davidoff “Cool Water” for women, light, clean smelling, and perfect for everyday wear, I believe this perfume is still not available in my country, Indonesia.

The Body Shop “ Vanilla “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 49.90 )

Finally! The Body Shop brings back my old time favorite scent! I used to wear it when I was about 15 years old, it smells sweet and yummy, like it brings back a lot of good memories.

The Body Shop “ White Musk “ Eau de Toilette ( RM 85 )

This one is belongs to my aunt, very popular smell in my country!

The Body Shop Body Butter Duo in “Vanilla” ( RM 65 )

I love vanilla scent, so when I saw body butter duo is available in vanilla scent; I knew I had to have it! Like “ Dreams Unlimited “  I believe this body butter is still not available in my country.

The Body Shop Body Lotion in “White Musk” ( RM 68 )

This one is belongs to my aunt.

Shea and Passion Fruit Lip Butter ( RM 26 / each )

And do you all know, at the cashier we got 30% off everything!!! The prices I listed above are all the prices before discount!!! I love The Body Shop Malaysia!!!

The Body Shop goodies!

MAC Eyeshadow in “ Carbon ” ( RM 60 )

This highly pigmented eye shadow is belongs to my aunt

MAC Paint Pot in “ Bare Study “ ( RM 70 )

I heard that this cream eyeshadow can be used as an eye primer to prevent creasing or smudging, I tried it twice, and my eye makeup still creasing, maybe I should bought Urban Decay Primer Potion instead. I don’t know, let me see where this product goes.

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC25 ( RM 105 )

My mother asked me to bought this powder foundation, in the MAC store the makeup artist put this powder on my both cheek, and oh my Gosh! I must tell you that this powder is miracle, it mades my pores disappear, my skin looks so flawless and not oily for hours and hours! Maybe next time I will buy this for myself.

MAC lipstick in “Rebel” ( RM 68 )

This one is belong to my aunt. This color looks lovely and sophisticated. Try this when you want to look elegant ( or dangerous and vampy! )

MAC goodies!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in “ Glamorous Pink “ and    “ Dreamy “

The “Dreamy” is mine, the Glamorous Pink is Martina’s. FYI, Rimmel London is not available in my counrty...it sucks...

Rimmel lipstick in black tube???

I’m sorry I don’t know the name, is already being given to my mom. And we got free mascara too.

Singapore Beauty Buys

My first beauty haul post! Oh I love watching haul videos on Youtube. It certainly helps me to find cute things and compare prices on every place. Most of the time, I am so jealous about the cosmetics, fragrances, and clothes price outside my country, things are so much cheaper! T_T

I just went back from Singapore yesterday and I want to share what beauty related things I bought when I was there.

Gucci “Guilty” Eau de Toilette 50 ml ( SGD $108 )

I smelled it first on Sephora at Ion Orchard and I just going to say “fall in love at the first sniff”! This perfume smells so sexy and sophisticated! Very vanilla/musk/floral but not overpowering. So when I was at Changi Airport I decided to buy this oriental/floral perfume. It was cheaper there than Sephora. 

I was very confused wheter I wanted the Prada “Infusion D’iris”, Juicy Couture “Viva La Juicy”, Victoria’s Secret “Bombshell”, Chanel “Chance Eau Fraiche”, Narciso Rodriguez for her (the black bottle smells amazing!) or Thierry Mugler “Angel”, but I made my choice and chose this one.

One thing I don’t like about this perfume is the packaging. My father absolutely loves the bottle, but I think it is quite tacky and the cap is hard to open. The other thing I really worry about are the lasting power, there are some reviews on youtube and makeupalley that said this perfume doesn’t last very long, the smells fade quickly T_T.

My sister said this perfume smells so old. No no no no, I think it just more mature than the scents I usually go for. I have enough with fruity/floral perfume, most of them are ordinary and forgettable. 

MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 in NC15 ( SGD $30 )

My Revlon concealer is “dying” and the smells have changed! So I went to MAC at Tangs Plaza and purchase this one, I heard a good reviews about this studio finish concealer.

The MAC artist at Tangs Plaza was very nice and helpful. She asked me to sit, cleaned my makeup first and brought all the colors to my chair that we think were going to match my skintone, after found the one, she applied the concealer to both my under eyes circle and some blemishes, then she set it all with the Mineralize Powder. How nice! In Jakarta the MAC artists are very arrogant and definitely not friendly!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in “Soft and Gentle” ( SGD $37.10 )

When in Changi I stopped by at the MAC counter! I found that the price was cheaper than the Tangs Plaza! I asked her about the studio finish concealer and she said it is SGD $25 plus SGD $2-4 discount at the cashier! :0

Speechless… I paid SGD $30 at Tangs Plaza instead of SGD $21 at Changi Airport!
Give me my $9 back!!!

So I decided to buy this Mineralize Skinfinish. She said It was SGD $41 but when we were at the cashier, the price became SGD $37.10!

I Love MAC at Changi Airport!!!!!

Etude Petit Darling Nail Polish ( SGD $4.70 )

Etude House store at Ion was very noisy and crowded! They had discount for just 3 days (11th-13th Feb)! So I purchased this one because my nail color was chipped and ugly, I need to paint a new layer ASAP! It was originally SGD $5.90 but they give me 20% off. Now I hate Etude House in Jakarta.

Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask ( SGD $2.90/each )

Few years back, some big department stores in Jakarta carried this French line. Now I can’t find it everywhere, so when I saw this at Plaza Singapura, I just had to bought it! The packaging is very cute.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock SPF 5O+/PA+++

This sunblock is very popular on Youtube, in USA I believe this sunblock is going to cost about USD $9-12 (correct me if I’m wrong). I saw one girl at Youtube use the SPF 70!!! I want higher SPF but 50 is the only one Plaza Singapura had at that time.

So this are the beauty related things I bought at Singapore .
