Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Mild


Hello lovelies,

this is Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in mild. Apparently, Clinique has more than one type of liquid facial wash. One for oily/normal skin type, one for dry (mild, this one) and the other one is extra mild for very dry skin.

-*-


Our guiding dermatologists believe in simple, effective cleansing: soap and water. Soft, non-drying lather cleans gently, rinses easily. Helps remove the stress of pollution so skin looks younger, longer. In 3 skin-typed formulas.

Protects skin's natural moisture balance so there's no taut or dry feeling.

-*-



I've used them since early 2000's and really enjoyed the mild formula, mild lathers and mild cleansing feeling too suitable to remove excess makeup remover, daily debris and anything, as long as it is not makeup and not a sunscreen.

The liquid facial soap can be used for anyone including kids too. Actually a lot of Clinique 3 steps skincare like the cleanser and moisturizer is safe to be used just about anyone at almost any age. The kids may not need it but when we hug, kisses and be with them it's okay when it gets on their skin, unlike some products that are harsh on their skin.

-*-



The formula is fragrance free, made with care and developed by dermatologist, suitable as a daily cleanser or after the makeup is removed since this is not a makeup remover.

Thank you Clinique Indonesia, do click on #faceforward in social medias to learn and see more about Clinique's skincare line.

Beauty Barn Heal Good

Hello everyone,

this is another product from Beauty Barn Indonesia called Heal Good.

I've been using the oils for a few weeks now and it's not just me, the product can be used for anyone above 12 months.

-*-


Heal Good is a healing mix contain Lavender, Tea Tree, Chamomile and Myrrh.
|
Can be used for treating insect bites, cuts, and even open wounds.

-*-



And guess what I've been using them as? A help for my kids during chickenpox.

Both of mine just had chickenpox and for sure it is not fun. The liquid may burst anytime and infection can easily occur if we don't keep the area (whole area) clean. So taking a bath twice a day is more than just a refreshing idea, it's a necessity.

By adding a few drops of Heal Good on their bathing water add aromatherapy for the nose and mind, as well as helps the skin to heal faster and better. I can happily say, they went through chickenpox without further infection.

-*-


What else can Heal Good do, hmm, private part. What?! Yes, Heal Good can also be good for our private part, drop 1-2 to ladies underwear and help 'detoxing' the area from germs. Heal Good can also be used on a warm water and rinse the private part when needed (like during menstruation and vaginal discharge).

The area not just smells good but feels clean too. Unlike those 'soaps' sold on the market that contains detergent, perfume, and other irritant that will hurt your private part in the short and long term, Heal Good provide a solution that offers natural benefits that comes from natural ingredients with efficacy and effectiveness that we want.

-*-


Thank you so much Beauty Barn Indonesia for Heal Good, it's wonderful and made for everyone from 12 months too, smells good, works really well and without side effects like chemicals do.


How to Deal with Skin Irritations

Hello lovelies,

this is a special post for everyone that have problems related to sensitive skin or things that cause sensitivity and irritation itself.

For me, personally, after paying a great deal of attention for my skin by kept on observing to just about anything that touches my skin, from within (such as diets) and outside, like skincare, cosmetics, tools, to small things like ingredients and habit, these are some of the stuffs that made my skin suffer.

-*-


Harsh brushes (or any other makeup tool that too hard on the skin). Imagine multiple application, swipes and movements made on the surface on the skin that feels too much and in the end irritate the skin from fine scratches to infections (remember that some brushes comes in very small tip) added with dirty makeup tools that are filled with germs.

This is a huge warning for everyone who loves to use tester as well in the counters, or join makeup competitions with provided (used brush) or getting their makeup done in a low quality make up artist and or brands, do be careful for these irritations can occur to just about anyone and the infections caused (if happen) later on can be very painful.
Do choose a good quality brushes that offer delicate material that care for the skin and maintain it's cleanliness by cleaning the brushes at least once a week.

-*-


Beside brushes and other makeup tools, we need to pay attentions on ingredients too on products that we used. There are ingredients that I need to stay clear off such as whitening.

As most whitening products on the market takes off the skin and increase regeneration rate by kept on removing skin cells to reveal what's within. Our body has it's own natural cycle (around 28 days) if he cycle is made faster, the new skin within will not be ready. They'll look fair at first, but easily damaged (by sun, pollution, and other aggressors).

There are other ingredients that may cause irritation or perhaps I'm sensitive about, but that's related to personal allergy. Like food allergy, some of us may get allergies from seafood, certain medication, pollen, nuts, gluten, or many other form. Same goes with the skin. Products used or applied on the surface of the skin, can also cause allergic reaction. Some mild, some severe, some can be seen instantly and some can only be seen after using it for long period of time.

How to prevent it?

Well, by observing the skin on daily basis, especially when trying new products or new ingredients.

Try using products that are known to be skin friendly, comes from reputable brand, easily tolerate by skin, try them before purchasing and committed to the product for a long term.

Signs of allergy or sensitivity are varied from redness, itchy, sudden swollen or bumps, to severe like burning sensation to even deadly reaction, so please do take a good care by only choosing the proper product that has gone through FDA or other services and research, plus, always read the ingredients list and know your enemy. Ingredients are tricky, a single ingredients can come in many form or names.

-*-



One particular ingredients that I'm always avoiding in my cleansing care is detergent. They made the facial wash bubbles up like ... like detergent in my laundry do, and then my skin become squeaky 'clean' like floors and very uncomfortable. This is actually the highlight of things that made my skin sensitive and irritated, since I clean my skin often (2-3 times daily) this is the things that I really need to be used frequently. I'm also using makeup on daily basis hence again, I need a cleanser as well.

A lot of cleanser on the market doesn't really clean the skin, they just took away everything on the surface or worst, left everything that need to be clean but strip off the natural moisture that we actually need. So yikes!! These kind of cleanser is not doing anyone any good but making things worst.

This is the start of all 'evil' in skin care routine, hence I only trust the best, like my favorite Bioderma H20.

They come in several range, but the one made specially for sensitive skin, is Bioderma H20 Sensibio.

-*-




The word H20 in the label shows that it's water, and as gentle as water it cares the skin but able to clean the skin well. Yes, they do clean makeup, as well as daily debris, dirt, sebum, and other stuffs that sticks to our skin.

Like magnet, Sensibio H20 took off everything that doesn't belong to the skin and leaves the skin clean without making them suffer, it's just pure comfort and happiness.

Damp a cotton pad with the H20 and gently swipe the skin, check the cotton pad, if it's still dirty, do repeat by changing the cotton pad and damp it again with the H20, keep repeating until the skin is clean and there's no longer visible dirt on the cotton pad.

Proceed with skincare such as toner, serum, moisturizer and so on.

-*-






Start by cleaning it right, your skin already half way far from sensitivity and irritation. Do try Sensibio H20 for free by joining their campaign at http://www.bestmakeupcleanser.com/

You can simply get free samples and trying their best formula for cleanser, watch the engaging and interactive story while trying to win stuffs as well.

-*-



Get the skin sensitive and irritation free start from the beginning, by using proper cleanser, and then you can play with products that are safe and beneficial for your skin as well. When you start your day with good quality products, you'll end your days with good looking skin, everyday.

Thank you Bioderma Indonesia.

Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Sheer Shine

Hello everyone!!

If you happens to follow shu uemura on their social medias, you've probably know the frenzy over the new lipstick collection called sheer shine. Yes, the mattes season are thing of a pass now (or in hibernation mode until it comes back up) and glossy shine lippies are back!!

-*-




I've shared their images on my instagram account as well @carnellin and I thanked Shu Uemura Indonesia for sending me these lovely babies.

They are so pretty and the colors are irresistible too. There are around 12 shades in total.

-*-



http://www.shuuemura-usa.com

The new rouge unlimited sheer shine is a lightly melting lipstick enhanced with hybrid pigments to create a beautiful sheer finish. The formula blends easily with your own lip color and lets you create a one-and-only style all of your own with magnified shine and vibrant color. A fusion of natural emollients provides superb moisture to the lips that is ultra comfortable to wear. Your lips will love the smooth and lightweight sensation and bright sheer coverage. The soft melting texture of the new lipstick formula contains macadamia nut paste mix and candelila extract wax to give a glossy finish and easy spread ability.
This lipstick is created with an incredible new technology: shu uemura’s 2nd generation hybrid pigments produces a more vivid, wider range of color while retaining the pureness and transparency.
  • Non sticky, lightweight texture.
  • Nourishing and non-drying: Infused with natural emollients for superb moisture.
  • Infused with candelila wax extract and macadamia nut paste mix for easy spread ability.
-*-




Mine are S CR (coral collections) in 340, S PK (the S are sheer) and PK means Pink in 366 and 357.

The packaging and everything outside doesn't seem to share anything vivid for our imagination regarding the beautiful colors inside.

Do come to any of Shu Uemura's boutiques or counters near you to get that up close and personal view of the shades, meanwhile, here's my review.

-*-

Everything is as described by Shu Uemura on their official website, the sheerness, the shine, the wonderful texture felt on the lips, the soft melting lipstick that covers the lips beautifully with pure glossing colors, non sticky and non drying that moisture the lips on and on again.

-*-


They may appear sheer at first but when layered, they'll getting bolder and bolder. And when layered, the color will intensified yet still feel so light and utterly comfortable. They doesn't noodled when piled up, keeping the lips looking irresistibly transparent.

-*-


S CR 340 is a beautiful color that goes well with my lips, too well may I say that it looks like nudes on me. It's a perfect mixture of orange, beige and pink. I love it and actually fall in love the minute they are on my lips. You see, you'll never really understand how a shade of lipstick can look so good (or bad) on you, until you are actually used them on your lips.

-*-



So, don't hang on too much to those swatches you see on others, do try them yourself when possible for that perfect shade of love you've been looking for.

-*-



Now, the two pinks, S PK 366 and S PK 357, the 366 is more to the fuchsia while the 357 is more to magenta.
Look at the image from above and below, from sheer to vibrant colors in a matter of swipes.

-*-



From natural to medium coverage, the lipstick never fails to impress, from the texture, feeling when used to the colors that deliver the promises. After usage the lips still getting that benefits from the ingredients and feels soft and smooth with a hint of stain left. Very comfortable to be used in the long term as well. The lipstick is not waterproof but the staying power is still fabulous with that watery shine. Perfect for those looking for a color and shine in one product using high quality ingredients that actually good for the lips.

-*-





Thank you so much Shu Uemura Indonesia.

The Face Shop Masque Creme


Hello everyone,

these are The Face Shop MasCream Sheets. I happen to have two from The Face Shop Indonesia recent event with Kawaii Beauty Japan. One in Intense Moisturizing (in blue) and the other is Intense Nourishing (in yellow).

-*-



I've tried finding details from websites and seems like it is not easy. The Face Shop Indonesia doesn't even put this product in their website and the international website has tons of masks. Rrr, I'm not happy. I've been googling for their information since yesterday. Finally, I found some details from The Face Shop USA.

-*-

First mask sheet with cream that feels like applying a whole jar of cream. The dense microfiber rich in cream adheres closely to the skin, providing soothing comfort. The intense-action Mascream revitalizes the look of tired skin with a nourishing cream containing peptides and quinoa.
For dry and very dry skins.
Unfold the mask and carefully place masks on your freshly cleansed face. Avoid the eye and mouth contours. Remove after 10-20 minutes and tap gently on skin until the cream is completely absorbed.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of the reach of children. Discontinue use if irritation and/or rash appear.

Intense Moisturizing

First mask sheet with cream that feels like applying a whole jar of cream. The dense microfiber rich in cream adheres closely to the skin, providing soothing comfort. Delivers rich moisture to dry and flaky skin with a cream containing hyaluronic acid and elderflower.
For normal to combination skin.

Unfold the mask and carefully place masks on your freshly cleansed face. Avoid the eye and mouth contours. Remove after 10-20 minutes and tap gently on skin until the cream is completely absorbed.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of the reach of children. Discontinue use if irritation and/or rash appear.

-*-

The packaging, details and instruction is somewhat similar and the same. Including what's inside. The mask and the white creams that really looks like a moisturizer cream, a conventional creams used as a moisturizer.

-*-



The feeling from the texture is silky, slippery and comfortable, I enjoyed using the mask as it seems to be holding the skin well compared to regular paper face mask that's too thin and flimsy.


The moisturizing one is also thick, but comes in a clear gel.

-*-

The aroma of the mask is calming and I guess it's in the sync with the creamy mask, everything made as comfortable as possible and since this is cream in texture (more like emulsion actually) they'll dry up much slower than masks with a more fluid liquid.

-*-

Still, after around 20 minutes, I took the mask off and love the instant softening effect on my skin. This is probably more suitable for those with dry skin like me since the formula is richer and the texture is 'heavier' than the liquid ones.

I'm using the mask on a cleaned skin, after toner and serum too.
After using the mask, I apply moisturizer and pretty much has completed my skincare ritual.

Thank you The Face Shop Indonesia.

Lancome Grandiose


Hello everyone,

this is Lancome Grandiose. A mascara from Lancome that comes with a unique wand, formula and easiness when used.

-*-


http://www.lancome-usa.com

The 1st swan-neck™ mascara is bent to work with the shape of your face for unprecedented access to all lashes. Corner-to-corner, root-to-tip giving the ultimate in length, lift and volume.

Only mascara focused on 3 aspects: Wand + Brush + Formula (most only address brush and formula).

Patented swan-neck ™ wand allows you to reach every lash from corner to corner, working with the contours of the face and eye Elastomer molded brush in monoi flower shape allows for maximum and even deposit of the formula, even the smallest lashes are coated.

Formula is ultra black glossy, quick drying and is the only formula with rose-cell extract so lashes remain soft and supple.

Formula contains less waxes for intense color with no smudging or flaking through the day.

AQUA / WATER ● PARAFFIN ● POTASSIUM CETYL PHOSPHATE ● ACRYLATES COPOLYMER ● CERA ALBA / BEESWAX ● COPERNICIA CERIFERA CERA / CARNAUBA WAX ● ETHYLENE/ACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER ● STEARETH-2 ● CETYL ALCOHOL ● ACACIA SENEGAL / ACACIA SENEGAL GUM ● ROSE EXTRACT ● SODIUM HYALURONATE ● 2-OLEAMIDO-1,3-OCTADECANEDIOL ● DISODIUM EDTA ● PROPANEDIOL ● HYDROGENATED JOJOBA OIL ● HYDROGENATED PALM OIL ● HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE ● CAPRYLYL GLYCOL ● PANTHENOL ● ETHYLENEDIAMINE/STEARYL DIMER DILINOLEATE COPOLYMER ● SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE ● PHENOXYETHANOL ● PARFUM / FRAGRANCE ● [+/- MAY CONTAIN CI 77499 / IRON OXIDES

-*-

These images explains the swan neck bendy shapes. It is supposed to be helpful and practical, and it does, I was skeptical at first but when I tried it, it is indeed 'ergonomic'.

And look at the brushes, they are made for short lashes too (hooray)! The brush is rubbery and firm, making those lashes obeys them when used. They'll curled up and voluminous at once, the length also added almost twice the original size.

-*-



These angles are superb, it catches the lashes from the roots, I wish that the one is a bit smaller for my petite lashes but so far it's better than other wand that I've tried, especially for the brush and angles from the wand. It provide better grip and point of view during application.

-*-


From the outer side to the inner lashes, upper and lower.

-*-


It's wonderful and easy to be used. I never knew that creating a wand with these angles could actually helps a lot. I can easily reach lashes that are hard to reach with conventional mascara.

And the formula itself, it's a black gel that do dries easily but rather sticky for a while. They need to be completely dry before become 100% comfortable and doesn't feel sticky anymore. Perhaps, apply them coat by coat and wait until they are dry before applying the next layer.

-*-


Here's the result on using the mascara on my lashes.

-*-


It's amazing right?! The lashes become so long and more intense, help defining the eyes better and makes them bigger too.

-*-



But after around 3 hours, they actually flake off bits by bits. Can't you see the dark dots under the eyes? They are the flakes that coming off from the lashes. It's not a lot, but they do flakes.

The good thing is that, they do stays waterproof and doesn't smudge, at all (love it!!!), comes in intense color, dries easily but need time to completely set, have the best angle and easiness in terms of application.

Does it worth buying? Yes it does.

Thank you Lancome Indonesia.

The Face Shop Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel


Hi everyone,

since The Face Shop launches their Aloe Gel, seems like my family has been a huge fan for their jelly like texture and cool sensation once applied.

Now, this is Damyang Bamboo, something that is similar to the aloe gel yet different, or is it?!

-*-


Damyang Bamboo Fresh Soothing Gel
http://www.thefaceshop.my

RM 23.90

  • A soothing gel with moisture infused gel-type texture that gives a moisture massage to skin with cooling, soothing effects
  • A design that looks like freshly cut bamboo infused with bamboo water
  • A multi-use soothing gel that can be used on the face and body
 Main Ingredients
  • Contains 99% Damyang bamboo extract
        Highly concentrated bamboo extract charges skin with moisture, maintaining skin hydration, increasing elasticity and preventing skin from becoming rough and dry
  • Contains hyaluronic acid that creates a moisture barrier
        Excellent moisture retention for effective long lasting hydration

-*-



And the texture is so fun and addictive :D I just love to play around with the gel, oh we all do. It's cold (especially when stored in the refrigerator), give the skin that instant hydration that even they don't last long like other lotion and creams that contains oils, but the fresh gel feeling is still alluring and irresistible. If there's a pool with these gels in it, I'll definitely get a dip, a full body mask ^__^

-*-


What does it do?

On our skin, it acts like a light hydrating gel that's both cooling and non sticky. The formula leaves the skin soft and smooth but for those with dry skin, after the gel, add a lotion or a cream and those combination will easily absorbed by the skin. So the gel can act as a softener/toner for the skin as well.

We are also using the gels as after sun care, for the ends of the hair, on the skin all over the face and body when in need of instant cool hydrating gel, after insect bites, minor cuts and burns (minor okay) and many more.

In the makeup world, this gel can act as a hydrating makeup base, followed with a foundation or mixed with liquid/cream makeup for that lighter base.

Overall, recommend to be used, most definitely, plus they smell freshly green good.

-*-

-*-




The product comes in a deep blue box, the shade of the blue is similar to the jar. I know that Biotherm no longer available in Indonesia except at the duty free shops in the airports. Still, I love Biotherm, they have wonderful products especially the skincare, but this product is also awesome, the texture is just wonderful.

Creamy at first and subtly fragrant, but after being massage a few minutes, the skin will become so soft and this is the kind of velvety supple softness that I've been dreaming about. It's superb.

I don't feel any stickiness, nor greasy effect, not like conventional lotion that doesn't give any effect, this one made the skin firmer and like this consistency that you dream off. Like a fresh young skin, so firm and soft to the touch...oh like a baby's butt but firmer >.< ... like a mochi.

-*-





As good as it goes, this product doesn't 'cure' cellulite, excess fats and just help firming up the skin. So when you're losing weight, exercising and down a few sizes away, you want your skin to 'tag along' as the fat are melting, you don't want your skin to 'melt' as well and sag. You want your skin to get a grip and holds everything tight again, this is the product for you. A firm corrector for your body skin (not for face use).

Highly recommended!!! Use after shower 2 times a day with a little massage to help absorption and firming the skin.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm


Hello everyone!!

Do you love your cleansing oil? But when you travel, it is not easy to bring them all the time, right?! From spills, liquid restriction, or bulky, they all made me think twice before bringing my pump bottle cleansing oil during traveling.

So when I see the Cleansing Balm from Clinique, I'm feeling so happy and immediately get me one of those babies for sure.

-*-


The product comes in this cute lavender colored pot with metallic like lid. Spin it open with the opposite clockwise direction and you'll see this white balm waiting to be used. So tidy and somehow appear peaceful.

-*-



A jar of 125 ml cost at Rp. 460.000 in Indonesia.

-*-



http://www.clinique.com

Gently helps remove the stress of pollution so skin looks younger, longer. Non-greasy. Non-drying. Ophthalmologist Tested. For all skin types.
  • Use fingertips to massage balm over dry skin.
  • Rinse well with warm water. Pat dry.
  • Follow with your 3-Step Skin Care System.
-*-


There's no better way in reviewing a product than to show what they actually do, so I gather my toughest of the toughs and swatches some of my waterproof lippies, eyeliners, mascaras on my hand.

-*-


At first, the balm seems solid and with a swirl touch the balm start melting on the finger, and I scoop a bit of the melties to the swatches.

-*-


So those glossy milky creams near my wrist is the melted balm. Hmm, I do wish they come with a scoop or perhaps we just use a small spoon and scoop out a bit and melt the balm at the fingers, at least we keep them clean and no double dips.

-*-


Gently swipe everything with the melted balm that looks like a cleansing oil now. Wait around for them to break off the particles of the makeups.

-*-


Some comes off almost instantly while other needs more time. Eyeliners are tough and so does mascara. Waterproof liquid lipstick also doesn't want to be removed >.<

-*-



I gave them around another minutes and start gently massage them off and they all come off, a few need more rubbing and then come off.

-*-

I use a piece of clothe and looks like the balm did a great job.

While playing with it, I noticed that they doesn't have any scent or other abnormality, the balm all melts into a cleansing oil like texture and none left as a solid.

-*-


Soon, everything comes off, this is wonderful. The cleansing ability is great and I can use a cotton pad for parts or very tough makeups to help massaging the area and the rinsing doesn't necessary needs warm water. I can use a foaming facial wash afterwards to help remove anything that left behind. The skin feels so clean afterwards.

-*-


I really can get used to using the Cleansing Balm, I love how it cleans well and doesn't spill here and there. Use a tool to help scoop it out a bit and it kept being clean, at least hygiene enough.

-*-


Perfect for traveling and anytime as after usage when there's no water, spray some face mist / face spray and spray everything off when finished. Wipe them one last time using a cleansing wipe or damped cotton pad and voila, you're done.

-*-




Thank you so much Clinique Indonesia
