Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner 0.1 mm

Hello all,

this would be another review for the lovable Heroine Make. The brand that created proven waterproof products. And this is their pen eyeliner.

-*-


Details from http://web1.sasa.com

description
Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner has a new and strong waterproof function, which can effectively act against tears, water, sweat or sebum on your face. The function is very long-lasting and has a precise contouring. The 0.1mm extreme fine point allows you draw precise and beautiful eyeliners every single time.

It is an excellent all-around product in which the incredibly fine point can help you freely sketch an inner eyeliner, where the color is deep and black, brilliant and bright. The eye power can be immediately doubled.


Kiss Me Smooth Liquid Eyeliner dries very quickly, so it can help you make a perfect look no matter how busy your mornings are. It is superiorly waterproof, anti-tear, anti-sweat, sebum resistant and totally waterproof. The color is long-lasting and is easy to use. Everyone can easily draw perfect eyeliner.

how to use it
Shake well before use. Apply it along your upper or/and lower lash lines.

-*-

It can make the thin line as thin as I wanted to and wide as well just by simply adding them up. The black color is satisfying and the shape of the pen is small yet enough to be hold.

-*-



This drugstore product is famous for being simple, budget friendly and oh well, effective. The packaging and every details is made just enough and the marketing is made mostly from mouth to mouth by the happy customers.

-*-


I'm using it often nowadays and found the product to always deliver wonderful result, the no smudge, no melting, no water can budge it, no sweat, no tears, it stays through all. And on my greasy lids, it also stands without fail all day long.

-*-

Conclusion, a product that truly made its name because it works, it beats branded items with hefty price tag, it stays on the lid really well and never disappoint me. Bye bye panda eyes as long as this eyeliner (and mascara from the same brand) is with me, I'll always have a clean eye makeup. Dries fast and stays through everything that would bother an eyeliner.

-*-


Highly recommended!!

YSL Vernis A Levres No.33

Hello lovelies,

this is not a new item, nor something that need introduction as the glossy stain has been very, very famous around the world. I've personally has been a fan for years, it is very pretty, luxurious and just wonderful from the first time.

-*-




An innovative new lip product! Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain combines the texture and shine of a gloss with the long-wear of a stain for a truly innovative lip product. A lightweight texture that immediately melts onto lips. Rouge Pur Couture Vernis à Lèvres Glossy Stain delivers intense glossy colour for a long lasting shine. The applicator's unique slanted tip and short soft bristles allow for flawless application with perfect precision

-*-


Without further ado. This is number 33. The shade is like a deep red with purple hue, somewhat mysterious, but definitely gorgeous in every angle.

-*-


The brush is one of the highlight for sure. It is like so soft, caressing the lips and making sure every bit of the lips covered in this bloody shade.

I can use it lightly and get a hint of the deep rose or layered it up for a maximum drip of color.

-*-


The result and feeling is of course, like a thin film enveloping the lips, hugging them tight with the airy feeling possible.

A color so powerful yet able to embodied the lips and overall look into something that I would like to call, mesmerizing.

-*-



This is a really comfortable glossy stain I've tried.

And if you're still curious, look at the swatch below when it firs applied. So wet and the color is super duper pretty.

-*-




And does it really staining the skin?

-*-


Yes it does, even after wiping it off with a cotton damped by micellar water.

Conclusion, another irresistible product from Yves Saint Laurent beauty department.

YSL Forever Light Creator CC Cream in Apricot

 Hello lovelies,

here's a new product from Yves Saint Laurent Beauty department, a CC Cream that comes in three variant shades, Rose, Lavender, and mine Apricot.

-*-



http://www.yslbeauty.co.uk

The first CC cream by YSL, integrating the GlycanactifWT™ complex, visibly corrects the appearance of skin tone irregularities immediately helping each woman to reveal their individual glow. Upon application, the lightweight refreshing texture with colour correcting pigments evens skin tone for a natural looking radiant effect.

-*-

-*-



The details are provided well on the box and inside there's a pamphlet too. Please do click on any image to see them in larger view.

-*-


This is apricot, the one that look mostly like our natural skin tone. The cream is wonderfully light and smells so fragrant, another signature sign of a YSL Beauty products. The scent is like one of their fragrance.

The CC Cream is used on a clean skin after skincare routine is done. I'm using a sponge but found fingers and brush are equivalent since the texture of the cream is very forgiving and highly usable.

Then top it off with a BB Loose Powder, or I can use another foundation, BB Cream, or just a loose powder for a different finish. From maximum coverage to natural look is all possible.

Below are me using the CC Cream and top it off with a BB Loose Powder before coloring.

-*-


The CC cream hides large pores, fine lines, uneven skin tone, mild blemishes and add that touch of glow to the skin without looking too much. On my normal to dry skin, this is my favorite CC Cream at the moment. I'm loving it and get the credit on many events of my flawless looking skin thanks to this CC Cream.

How about the durability? The 'melting' hours? Well, on me and perhaps since I'm using a quite powerful BB Loose Powder, they can last all day, but if you happen to have oily skin, do touch up using a good loose powder every 3 hours.

-*-



Thank you so much YSL Beauty Indonesia.

High Tea with Bio Oil


Hello lovelies,

Yesterday, I went to a lovely event with Bio Oil, a high tea at Cacaote in Senopati area. Arriving after a traffic jam and heavy rain soon after in this oasis like atmosphere is just wonderful. It could have been perfect if this is a non smokers only, or at least at the indoor area.

The decoration at Cacaote is lovely, perfect for a tea time indeed.

-*-


Everything is 'infused' with Bio Oil here, at every table we can try, sniff, and proved the lightness of the oil by how easy it is penetrating into our skin.

-*-


I enjoyed the scent very much, it's a mix of lavender, calendula, chamomile, and rosemary. Calming, soothing and very comfortable.

The oil is a dry oil that easily goes into the skin, creating a velvety soft and smooth finish on the skin. When use on the facial skin (especially at night), use it like a serum and top it off with a night cream.

Nowadays I use it all over the body skin, facial, and skin. It helps them moisturized. On the hair, I only put it on the ends and never on the scalp. But I think, it can be used as a pre-wash treatment.

-*-




Soon, the event began and the sharing on the benefits of tea as well. The theme somewhat resembles to the ingredients inside Bio Oil.

-*-




All of us are greeted by the warmth of Chamomile tea. Did you know that there are correct ways to consume tea?

One of the mistake we always do is leaving the tea bag inside the water for too long. Noticed how some tea bag put details on the minutes? That's determine the length of time, after those minutes are pass, remove the tea out from the pot, and yes, the tea expert at the event do recommend us to use the tea pot since it helps the leaves/flowers/ or other tea 'material' into the right temperature consistency until their 'minutes' are up.

-*-



There are different kind of teas, from leaves, fruits, flowers and even roots. How it process also made a huge differences, like white tea, black tea, and green tea.

I personally love fruit teas and white tea since they taste light and refreshing. For black teas I preferred the one with added milk.

The benefit on the tea can be achieved when we do each of them in the right manner and in the right time. A single tea could have different benefit on us when taken fresh or after sit on for hours or days.

-*-


This is the correct color of Chamomile tea, yellow and not dark. Teas are best consume when it is still hot.

-*-


So, this adorable tea pot is not just for decoration, right?!

Now, as the tea start warming our body and the delicate cakes as well, Bio Oil team start sharing their knowledge on the product to all of us.

They explain how to use it, by gently massaging the oil onto the skin using our finger tips, this is definitely not easy on wide areas such as tummy, waist and ehm...buttocks especially during pregnancy, we seriously somehow become too lazy to even more our finger so I personally patting my self on the back for just using it regularly with my palms ^^

And on the facial skin, it might feels oily for those with oily skin, but still can be used only at night time and before a night cream.

On the hair, I used it on a cleaned and damp hair, right after shower, on the middle to the ends and with fingers. continue by blow-drying the hair using a brush. I love how it makes the hair shines but without weighting it down, for me this is just lovely and gives the hair the right amount of 'healthiness'.

Noticing that there's a questions here and there especially on the 'how long' should we use Bio Oil and when does it start showing effect?

I'm using it on my stretch-marked area (tummy and everything from pregnancy) for months before it starts showing dramatic result, so it's not just significant, but dramatic, as in real moment changing experience, as the dark and sagging skin turns into fair and much more firmer, like they gain life once again.

Who noticed the first time? Hubby, not me, hubby. My first daughter also notices the differences. It made a 9 years strechmarks fade like by far and the new ones doesn't even exist. So it does depends on the severity of the scar (wounds, injury, surgery, stretchmarks, acne, etc). The deeper and severe it is the more time Bio Oil need to heal the skin. It may take months, on me it took two big bottles of 120 ml and another on in used until I can witness that 'dramatic' effect by using it daily and right after shower when the skin is still damp, and do I massage it with my finger tips? Nope heehee, with my palms for sure.

Thank you so much Bio Oil Indonesia for having me.

Now, talking about signature toiletries, one of the biggest onsen at Hokkaido carries pure BA-YU products. These horse oils based ingredients are known to be beneficial for the human hair and skin.

-*-



All details from NaGiSa House.

In addition, the biggest feature of this product is the use in the summer is not too greasy too sticky, all-season use.

-*-



It is an oil shampoo alright, I can immediately felt the oil in the shampoo. The lathering is just fine but even after rinsing everything off, some of the oils can be felt, but they are like a dry oil, so it's not heavy nor greasy....for a half day. Since I do have greasy scalp this shampoo I need to rewash my hair every 18 hours with this, so it doesn't last 24 hours >.<

The shampoo itself has minimal scent but still cleans the hair well, those with dry hair will love the immediate effect on the hair, shiny and looks healthier. So for me, I think I'm using it for my hair strands only and not the scalp.

Suitable for the men and those with dry hair and scalp.

-*-

The most outstanding feature of this product is another use in the summer is not too greasy, too sticky, all seasons.
-*-



In Japan, they don't say conditioner, they say hair treatment or hair rinse.

This is also contain horse oil but surprisingly very light and comfortable to be used. Very faint scent as well. Slippery and silky is the two things pop up at my head when using it but doesn't have any greasiness. The treatment is definitely only made for the hair and not the scalp.

After using these two my hair doesn't look dry anymore even thou I kept coloring them. They don't make the color easily fade as well, I know they are not made for colored hair but on me so far so good and I adore the shine they made. Yes, the scalp easily get greasy again when I use the shampoo on the scalp but beside that, the hair looks great and healthier.

-*-



Containing a large number of unsaturated fatty acids in the oil of high quality pure horse horse oil in unsaturated fatty acids can penetrate deep clean the skin using five kinds of natural plant ingredients made ​​of, moisturizing effect is particularly strong especially for sensitive, dry skin soft and radiant skin Four Seasons Jiayi does not contain any chemical composition, a small amount of soft foam produced does not increase the burden on the skin of mineral oil-free, all natural products

-*-


Just like their brother and sister here, the body soap also have faint scent. The creamy body soap help cleans the skin but doesn't really moisturize the skin like mentioned above. It's not very drying, more like okay but not in a moisturizing category, my skin still rather dry.

I think compared all three the body soap is the most 'common' one with really unseen benefits. The things is everyone in the family (even kids) can use it but that's it.

Marc Jacobs Beauty in Indonesia

Hello lovelies,

On Thursday night, Immigrant at Plaza Indonesia has been a witness to a beautiful event, the launch of Marc Jacob Beauty. The collection itself will be available at Sephora Indonesia with a total of 126 products.

His idea of beauty is coherent with his fashion, it's about the spirit of youth, confidence, and experimentation. Creating our own style and in his words "I see beauty in many things and I am attracted to all sorts of imperfection, to style, to confidence or experimentation. It's unexpected and surprises you".

"I love the look of bright colour and beautiful, cleans skin," Says Marc. "For me, it's perfect example of an "effortless" look that anyone can wear."

-*-



From his collection I see nudes and daring side by side on the table. It is intriguing to see them both where they have successfully shown confidence in both.

Below are the swatches of the eyeshadow palettes.

-*-

206 The Lotita, with soft and smooth texture.

Our favorite at that night is the one exactly in the middle of the seven, the one that sparks the most, for Asian skin, like mine, these nudes can be a bit too nude.

-*-

Eau de contraire to The Vamp below.

-*-




Beside The Vamp and Lolita, Style Eye Con No. 7 also consist of The Tease, The Siren, and  The Starlett (each IDR.872.000).

-*-

Another two products which I managed to play with are the Gell Crayon (in Mermaid Green Shimmer) and Re(Marc)able a full cover concealer (IDR 349.000).

-*-


Soon the event began, Ms. Margie and Ms. Tiana Lukette (Marc Jacob Beauty Education Specialist) are ready to share more information including demo.

-*-


And I'm volunteering myself heehee. I don't want to miss this opportunity and be amongst the first to try, since I'm already wearing makeup, Ms. Tiana only touch up some of the eyehadow, cheeks by Shameless Bold Brush (IDR 543.000), O!MEGA Bronze (IDR 581.000), using Re(Marc)able on some areas and of course Lush For Lacquer (IDR 378.000). Top it off with Perfection Powder (IDR 727.000). A finishing powder in one universal shade, ultra weight, diffuses flaws, instantly brightens and removes shines.

-*-

(I'm using Kissability from Lust for Lacquer- sheer collection-)

I should've asked her to removed all my makeup and start all over again using nothing but Marc Jacobs Beauty. The one that I really want to try is Genius Gel (IDR 727.000) a foundation with first-to-market Buoyancy Gel Technology, anti aging and hydrates the skin with coconut water extracts.

-*-


This is me and Tiana, thank you for perking me up ^__^


-*-

Showstopper a LOVEMARC Lip Gel (IDR 407.000), and below is All The Way.

-*-

The gel lipstick feels so smooth and luxurious at the same time. It creates a unique 3D Optical Volumizers and available in 17 shades.

-*-

LUST FOR LACQUER (Full) in Boom Boom and Kissability from the sheer collection.

Overall,

a modern cosmetics with brilliant colors and high technology with freedom in mind from Marc Jacobs Beauty which has become my new addiction and a must try collection.
