Hair Balloon Emollient Silky Mask

Hello lovelies,

recently I stumbled upon a new (new for me) e-commerce from Japan, it is Tocoo.com. The website sells a lot of Japanese products that is made locally and since most of the world in lock down, online shopping has become more important and convenient since we can get stuffs we need from anywhere in the world.

I must say, even as I'm traveling to Japan like twice a year for the past 10 years, still there are many products and items I didn't know or even heard of. Japan itself is a big country where each prefecture have their own natural resources and products.

Now, this product is a silky mask for hair, which some even say hair treatment. So it is meant to be used after shampooing, towel dry the hair, apply around 2-3 pumps (depends on the hair length) directly to the hair (avoid the scalp) from the mid to the ends. Leave it on around 5 minutes or more and then rinse it off. Dry and style like usual. I personally feel that my hair becomes so much softer and silkier. Felt so smooth and like it is has regain much healthier and fuller look. The silky mask doesn't have any strong scent, in fact it is quite mild and scent-less. So the focus is the effects on the hair, so those who like scents on their hair better add some perfume afterwards.

The texture of the silky mask is like a gel that somewhat a bit like stretchy and when applied on the hair, it's like covering each strands and at once the hair looks shinier. So the experience begins the moment using the mask, I do recommend in taking the time when using it, massage it gently on the hair (not scalp) perhaps use a wide tooth brush also so the gel is distributed well all to the ends. Leave it perhaps 10 minutes or more, for a very dry and damage hair.

The hair is repaired with the help of the Emollient Silky Mask, which makes a clear difference in the texture, shine, and feel of hair. Hair is filled with shine from the inside out. This Emollient Silky Mask adds ingredients to penetrate various oils into hair, filling it with moisture. It also contains high-molecular polymers to maintain moisture retention, repair cuticles, and improve shine and slickness. Which of the following 6 problems do you want to solve? The roots are beautiful, but the ends are very dry.

You want to take thorough care of high damage at the tips of your hair. For people whose hair is dry or spreadable at the ends. Those who want to make their hair longer and shinier. People who want to make their hair beautiful and shiny. People whose hair doesn't run smoothly. Focus on hydrophobizing the damaged areas to moisturize the hair from the core, to fill your hair with shine from the inside out. Hydrophobization means...
Damaged hair ends are hydrophilic, which means they easily contain water and do not easily absorb moisture repair ingredients, and they dry out easily and lack luster. By creating a hydrophobic base, hair becomes more supple and slippery, and the effect of repairing hair increases. It will make a clear difference in the feeling of gloss and shine and the way it moves through your fingers. This is the "Emollient Silky Mask". Pseudo-CMC ingredients and various oils are infiltrated into the hair to fill the hair with moisture.

It also contains polymeric polymers to maintain moisture retention, cuticle repair, shine, and smoothness. The thin pseudo-CMC ingredient hydrophobizes the cuticle. Its contents are a combination of high molecular polymers and CMC, Kupas Butter, Rose Hip, Jojoba, Olive, Macadamia Nut, Squalane, etc., various oils, collagen and amino acids are enriched with a penetrating agent to quickly deliver the active ingredients to the inside of the hair, restoring its moisture retention function and making damaged hair moisturized and shiny. The main feature of this product is the unprecedented hair penetration enhancer (ACRIO), which makes it excellent at penetrating hair, and various repair ingredients penetrate deep into the hair, effectively repairing damage.

What users are saying about this product. "I couldn't wait, and I finally did it! Smooth! It's a pretty good effect once, so I tried the second recommended procedure. It was a great decision to order a larger one. Thank you! I used it right away. It's so good! It was everything I expected... well, more than that! High-damaged hair changed in one fell swoop! Hair is now more manageable and slippery to the touch. Even the ends of my hair, which used to get tangled easily, are now smooth and manageable. I don't need to go to the hair salon for expensive treatments anymore.

 

 That's how effective this treatment is. Hair is a woman's life. When I used the reed oil and silky mask in the in-bath, I was amazed at how good it felt. I used the reed oil and silky mask in the in-bath and was amazed at how good it felt as I ran it through my hair. I'm so glad I found Hair Balloons, because I can't get anything else from them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As soon as I picked it up, I was so impressed with the soft and stretchy mask, I put it firmly in my hair and just dried it with a hair dryer. My normally dry hair didn't feel fluffy and floaty, and my hair looked somehow more relaxed, so I am happy to email you to report and thank you for your help! I wish I had used this product sooner."
 

 [How to use] After rinsing off the shampoo. Leave it on for 2 minutes and then wash it off. Apply a few drops of oil to the ends of hair (3 to 10 pushes depending on length) and let it blend into the palm of your hand. Apply a layer of the emollient silky mask on top of this and leave on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse well.

The product is sold for around 59$ at

[Ingredients] Water, natural fermentation ethanol, floral water (pesticide-free), essential oil, plant deodorizer. [Content] 20 ml

I've been using the spray for weeks now and I'm enjoying it.
Seiokan itself is a brand that launch L'essentiel du Japon, and has been around since 1936 in the aromatherapy industry promoting beautiful scents that is gorgeous and healthy.

They have a wide varieties of scents and I just happen to be interested in autumn since I have never been in an autumn in Japan and always wonder what is the scent would be like. I must say, the minute I sprayed it on, I feel like I'm walking among the trees which leaves has turn red and golden, beautiful and reminiscent. The scent itself is a bit earthy, warm and delicately sweet.

Since the pandemic all over the world, we are required to use a face mask on daily basis, for the rest of the world it might be something that 'kinda new' but for Japanese, they use face mask almost any other day. They have the best social etiquette where when you're unwell, do wear a mask to avoid other people getting sick, so it's not just something that was used by surgeons or people in the intensive care unit. Or when there's hay season or usually during spring to avoid pollen, Japanese people use mask and it is common to use it. When we travel to Japan, way before Covid-19, they are already using face masks for decades, and they even invented so many different types of face mask and accessories that goes along with it.

Using masks on daily basic can be boring and let's face it aside from it, sometime, our breath is not really pleasing too, so these kind of aroma makes it bearable or even somehow something we look forward to. The formula comes with an antibacterial as well as floral water and deodorizer, do try it I think the product is worth having.

Pour La Peau Daily UV Protect Calamine Sun Screen SPF 50+/PA++++

It is a triple funtional product that blocks ultraviolet UVA abd UVB which are the main cause of skin damage at the same time! √ Contains 10,000ppn of pink calamine powder √ UVA+UVB Blocking Sunscreen SPF 50+/PA++++ √ Transparent skin without white cast and makeup base combined

• GREAT APPLICABILITY – Pour La Peau sunscreen can be applied on multiple occasions; during daily outdoor activities and sports, when re-applying on make-up or when traveling. TSA travel-friendly size

-*-

The product comes in a bright lovely orange hue and white orange box packaging that filled with details from ingredients (English) and others which mostly is in Korean, so I'm quite lucky to be able to find some information in English from googling and in Hicharis too. You can purchase or check more info at https://hicharis.net/carnellin/1tl2

-*-

I must say, I've tried so many sun protection product, from creams, lotion, gel, spray, to powders and this one is actually one of my favorite. Since the texture itself at first it is liquid and watery, but once distributed it was more like a liquid powder, so it gives me a powdery feeling and very comfortable.

The hue is powdery white with a hint of pinky tone that was said due to the calamine. Calamine itself is a well-known ingredient that calms, soothe and help the skin in needs when irritation occur. People who suffers from chickenpox are often recommended to use Calamine by doctors.

Aside from Calamine, the product also contain centella, hyottuynia cordata, aloe vera leaf extract, totarol.

These highlighted ingredients are said to do sebum control, detox, would healing skin recovery effect, anti bacterial, moisture barrier to the skin and many more.

-*-

The bottle is shaped like tube and what I like about the exterior is that it is so smooth and easy to hold. When I opened the cap, the tip is uniquely shaped like an hour glass. To get the liquid out, we just need to gently squeeze it, remember it's a watery consistency, so without the need of too much effort, the liquid will comes out.

There's nothing inside the tube beside the sunscreen, usually there's a metal ball that helps us shake the liquid, but perhaps it is not necessary with this formula, which seems like solid and uniform enough.

-*-

At first, it will looked white like this, but after spreading the lotion well, they will turn into transparent in no time. There's a hint of scents, perhaps a mild perfume, but not overbearing and not too much. My skin appears comfortable using the product, I don't see any negative results, there's no greasy nor shiny effects, it's just normal matte skin condition, and there's no stickiness whatsoever.

So I can gladly say that it felt good on my facial skin, I can apply makeup afterwards and great for touching up too. Since the SPF and PA is quite high and promote long term usage, I don't have to keep reapplying, maybe only when I'm doing a very busy or active physical exercise that involves a sweat and water like sea or swimming pool.

-*-

So the product is perfect not just as a city sunscreen but everyday all around, from exercise outdoor, to swim and even at the beach and ocean. The physical sunscreen also works well on the skin for everyone since it's not like chemical sunscreen. I personally prefer physical sunscreen since I don't have to wait, I can simply apply it and go outside immediately. Same goes with reapplying.

-*-

If you buy the product from https://hicharis.net/carnellin/1tl2 you can get special price and they do shipped worldwide.

For 25$ this baby is yours.

Bardi Smart Home, Smart Light Bulb, IR Remote, and Indoor Static IP Camera

Hello lovelies,

How are you? Semoga kalian semua dalam kondisi yang baik dan sehat ya. So, recently, thanks to Bardi dan Beaute Femme Community, I got a chance to try on Bardi Smart Home system with some of their home appliances.

Ada Smart Light Bulb, Smart IR Remote, dan Smart Indoor Static IP Camera. Jelas, aku excited banget nyobain ketiga produk ini gara-gara sering nonton acara TV dimana pemilik rumah tinggal voice command dan rumahnya melakukan semua apa yang diminta, "Nyalakan AC, matikan lampu, mood lampu sesuai music yang aku dengar ya.", dan lain sebagainya. Udah menghayal kemana-mana saat tahu akan menerima produk ini, tapi ya jujur, ada juga kekhawatiran, mudah gak ya pengaplikasiannya?

Nah, mari kita bedah satu persatu.

-*-





Ketiga produk ini datang dengan box yang designnya simple dan minimalis tapi semua informasi diberikan lengkap. Selain fungsi dan pemakaian energi, pada pamflet didalam box juga diberikan step-by-step guide, jadi saat membuka box nya, perlahan-lahan kekhawatiran aku hilang.

Hal pertama yang aku lakukan setelah membuka box dan membaca detail informasi adalah mendownload aplikasi Bardi Smart Home (free) yang tersedia di android, pemakai iPhone juga tersedia di App Store, buat kamu yang masih mau bertanya-tanya dulu dan mencari tahu lebih banyak bisa whatsapp Bardi di +628111797911

-*-






Setelah box dibuka, wah, pertama kali melihat produk-produk ini kok lucu-lucu ya, designnya monochromatic dan pas secara ukuran. Setiap item datang dengan chargernya masing-masing, kecuali Smart Light Bulb yang tentunya kita pasangkan dengan rumah lampu yang kita miliki. Bisa lampu meja, lampu di ruangan dan lampu apapun yang kamu ingin pasangkan. Aku sempat kepikiran untuk menjadikan lampu outdoor depan rumah aku, karena warna-warninya itu seru banget, bisa membantu merubah suasana depan rumah aku apalagi saat malam tiba, biar pas bulan-bulan tertentu agak spooky, saat Valentine aku pasang warna pink dan lainnya.

Ah ya, balik ke setting ya, jadi setelah mendownload aplikasi Bardi Smart Home, aku mulai pairing satu persatu. Paling mudah di pair adalah Smart Light Bulb, waktunya relatif lebih singkat dibanding IR Remote dan Indoor Static IP Camera. Tidak berbeda jauh sih, mungkin pairing Smart Light Bulb butuh 2-3 menit, Indoor Static IP Camera butuh 5-7 menit dan IR Remote sekitar 7-10 menit termasuk waktu menunggu masing-masing alat dirumah untuk terkoneksi dengan IR Remote (TV, AC, dsb).

-*-

Indoor Static IP Camera aku letakkan di kamar anakku dengan pemikiran safety (dan mungkin ini merupakan banyak alasan orang tua membeli camera seperti ini untuk dipasang didalam rumah), mungkin untuk menjaga keamanan anak-anak dirumah bersama pengasuh atau mungkin yang memiliki orang tua dengan bantuan pengurus.

Daya tangkapnya sangat baik dan bisa membantu kita menyalurkan suara dari apliakasi. Jadi saat ingin menyampaikan pesan secara langsung, kita bicara dengan app (mungkin di smartphone) dan akan langsung disampaikan oleh Camera.

Berikut detail lengkap dari Bardi:

"Bardi Smart IP Camera adalah kamera pintar yang dapat menyalurkan video berikut suara kepada smartphone dan suara dari smartphone.

Kamera Bardi memiliki slot sd card max 128GB (tidak termasuk) dan dapat memberi notifikasi bila ada yang lewat pada jam yang di tentukan dalam aplikasi. Pada posisi gelap akan otomatis switch ke night vision."

-*-

Berikut penampakan pada smartphone, kita bisa melihat secara live, HD,  dan full color, melakukan screenshot, speaker, record, playback, cloud storage, alarm and everything we can do in the touch of our fingers.

Pastinya camera semacam ini sangat berguna juga di office, toko, dan sebagainya dimana keamanan dan pengamatan sangat diperlukan. IP Camera perlu terkoneksi dengan listrik non stop dan sambungan wifi atau internet yang baik.

-*-

 

Next, aku mencoba IR Remote:

"Bardi Smart IR Remote adalah pemancar infrared pintar yang bisa di kendalikan melalui aplikasi selama ada wifi/hotspot.

Remot ini dapat menggantikan semua remot infrared dengan mayoritas sudah ada dalam daftar dan bila tidak ada, bisa di duplikat signal infrared dari remot lama ke remot Bardi."

Alat ini terlihat seperti lingkaran hitam yang cukup mungil dan warnanya hitam solid di seluruh permukaan. Setelah di pair dengan aplikasi Bardi Smart Home di smartphone, kita tinggal assign peralatan di rumah kita untuk teregistrasi, untuk saat ini aku hanya memasangkan dengan TV dan AC, karena kedua remote ini kadang punya kaki dan bisa jalan-jalan sendiri. Belum lagi kadang umur remote yang tidak terlalu lama atau mudah rusak, dengan adanya IR Remote, aku gak perlu lagi menggunakan banyak remote dirumah dan semua digantikan dengan satu apliasi Bardi Smart Home dalam satu smartphone.

Produk Bardi juga masih banyak seperti Smart Lights, Smart Pet Series, Smart Security System. Produk Bardi powered by Tuya, global ai+iot terkemuka di dunia dan bisa melakukan voice command atau perintah suara dengan alexa, google assistant, dan siri. Buat kamu yang tertarik, semua produk Bardi ada di berbagai marketplace, tinggal search aja, pasti ketemu. Kisaran harga produk Bardi masih di angka Rp.100 rb, jadi cukup terjangkau ya.

-*-

Saat IR Remote difungsikan, aku assign TV dan bisa memilih jenis remote yang paling sesuai dengan type TV aku, demikian pula dengan AC, kita bisa memilih merk dan spesifikasi yang diinginkan. Tentunya merk dan teknologi home appliance yang kita miliki berpengaruh, aku merasa lebih mudah menghubungkan produk yang baru diproduksi selama 5 tahun terakhir ini dibandingkan produk lama.

Mungkin berhubungan dengan teknologi atau 'ketajaman sinyal' masing-masing alat tersebut, aku juga kurang mengerti, namun sepertinya begitu di rumah aku.

-*-

Last but not least, Smart Light Bulb yang bikin aku asli hyper, anak-anakku pun, karena kita semua senang banget bisa punya lampu yang cukup satu, tapi spectrum warnanya melingkupi hampir semua warna yang ada di banyak toko cat. Cukup satu bohlam, ambiance ruangan menjadi berbeda, mood pun menjadi lebih dimanja, bahkan kalau kita mendengarkan music ada warna-warni lampu yang mengikuti alunan dentum music yang kita dengarkan.

Aku sendiri masih mengeksplor beberapa tone, yang aku sukai mulai dari penampilan sunset atau matahari terbenam di pinggir pantai, pilihan ini ada di 'scene', kita bisa memilih dan assign sesuai dengan yang kita inginkan.

-*-

Pilihan warnanyapun sangat sensitif dan lembut. Every color comes with their own option of brightness dan contrast, amazing right?! Makanya kemarin pas baru install, kita semua sibuk 'mainin' lampu ini sampai 3 jam. Malampun kita ditemani dengan lampu pink lembut yang katanya bagus untuk membawa suasana menjadi lebih relaks. Karena sangat soft, kami nikmati 'nuance' dari tone warna tersebut dengan kesan yang sangat lembut.

Dan seperti pilihan diatas, bisa terlihat kitapun bisa memilih warna yang sangat bold dan berani. Imagine having all these options for your youtube video and beauty photo shoots.

-*-





Soft pink lembut dan deep purplish blue menjadu warna-warna favorit aku saat ini, namun pastinya, aku akan terus mencoba warna-warna lain sesuai dengan mood aku. It's trully a liberating experience with Smart Light Bulb, akupun merasa lebih bisa berkreasi dan menikmati ambiance di ruangan dengan lampu tersebut, now I wish all my light bulbs are from Bardi.

-*-

Thank you so much for Bardi for bringing us this wonderful innovation, buat kamu yang mau cobain, what are you waiting for, get yours now and live in the future.

Dermies

Hello lovelies,

kita berjumpa lagi di penghujung bulan Oktober dan kali ini mau ngebahas mengenai klinik kecantikan yang ada di Citraland, Jakarta. Lokasi kliniknya pas di sebelah Hero, yang berwarna kuning itu dengan nama yang biru. Seluruh konsep dari klinik ini juga ada di www.dermies.co.id.

Aku kebetulan mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menulis mengenai Dermies karena bekerja sama dengan Jakarta Beauty Blogger.
Nah, karena kebetulan adikku memiliki masalah dengan jerawat sejak menggunakan masker setiap hari (maskne, nama kerennya), akupun 'mengutus' dia untuk ke Dermies dan mendapatkan perawatan yang dia butuhkan, "Breakup with Breaksout" yang memang untuk melawan jerawat.

-*-

Ternyata Dermies ini sudah cukup terkenal di kalangan anak muda, saat weekend biasanya klien harus menunggu sekitar 45-60 menit. Saran aku, karena Dermies tidak menerima appointment by hour (alias biasanya hanya appointment by day alias hari kedatangan), jadi saran aku, datanglah saat hari weekdays karena lebih sepi jadi bisa langsung dilayani atau saat klinik baru buka (seperti jam buka mall, yaitu 10.00 WIB).

Staff di Dermies seperti terlihat di foto semua menggunakan seragam yang sama, jadi kita mudah mengenali staff yang ada yang membantu proses kita masuk klinik. Mulai dari cek suhu, mencuci tangan dan registrasi.

-*-

Semua staff menggunakan masker, face shield dan gloves (sarung tangan) pada masa pandemi ini. Semua yang datang juga diharapkan menjaga jarak. Ada beberapa tempat duduk yang disediakan di area depan klinik agar klien tidak 'menumpuk' di dalam. Suasana di dalam juga dijaga agar tidak padat, semua pengunjung diharapkan mengerti kondisi saat ini dan klinik mengurangi jumlah maksimal kapasitas dalam ruangan.

-*-

Semua yang ingin bertemu dengan dokter atau perawatan, mohon menghubungi klinik terlebih dahulu di +62215606595 / WA : 08111204412, WA biasanya dibalas maksimal h+1. Kalian juga bisa melihat website resmi Dermies untuk alamat lengkapnya yang di Jakarta dan Bandung.

-*-

Setelah proses registrasi selesai, adikku dipersilahkan masuk dan mulai membersihkan kulit sambil menunggu dokter. Ada ruangan tunggu di dalam setelah kulit dibersihkan dengan singkat menggunakan tissue basah (wet wipes), karena adikku tidak menggunakan makeup, tissue pembersih tersebut mungkin dirasa cukup.

Ruangan tunggu di dalam ini berisi klien lain yang juga menunggu dokter, hanya ada 1-2 orang dan kami semua tidak menggunakan masker karena telah membersihkan wajah.

-*-

Ada TV monitor yang menunjukkan giliran, jadi kita hanya perlu melihat keatas dan menunggu giliran. Saat masuk ruangan kliniknya dibatasi dengan banyak tirai. Semua terlihat bersih dan rapi. Dokter mulai mengecek kondisi kulit, lalu menentukan treatment yang diperlukan.

Untuk jerawat, terutama yang masih aktif, diperlukan beberapa steps, mulai dari pengeringan, pembersihan, sampai menghilangkan bekas dari jerawat. Setidaknya, adikku harus datang minimal 3x agar kulitnya bisa bersih kembali, dengan catatan, selama dirumah, dia pun harus tetap menjaga kondisi kebersihan dan lifestyle dengan baik agar jerawatnya bisa sembuh.

-*-

Dokter Cynthia adalah dokter yang membantu adikku saat kunjungan pertama, dia memeriksa wajah denagan seksama dibawah lampu yang sangat terang. Menurut dokter, jerawat yang muncul di area yang tertutup masker ini sangat sering sejak pandemi. Banyak sekali pasien yang sekarang jadi harus ke dokter kulit karena cara-cara 'biasa' sudah tidak cukup lagi.

Jadi memang menjaga kebersihan, memberikan obat jerawat yang ada di pasaran, dan lain sebagainya membantu, tapi penangan dari dokter kulit akan lebih tepat dan lebih menunjukkan hasil yang relatif lebih cepat.

Adikku telah berbulan-bulan mencoba menangani masalah jerawatnya sendiri, produk-produk skincare yang dimiliki juga yang anti-acne dan sudah hampir menyerah. Ternyata di klinik Dermies masih ada beragam macam metode yang bisa dicoba.

-*-

Semua penjelasan diberikan dengan sangat baik dan detail, mulai dari apa yang diharapkan dari tiap treatment, down time (rasa hangat, kulit mengering, mengelupas, atau lain sebagainya dijelaskan diawal treatment oleh dokter Cynthia). Adikku awalnya agak gugup dan tidak mau kalau treatmentnya menyakitkan, invansive alias jauh dari proses alami, dan atau pakai banyak suntikan jarum.

Dia juga tidak suka jika harus di pencet dan dikeluarkan isi jerawatnya, ternyata klinik Dermies tidak seperti itu. Semua treatmentnya nyaman dan tidak menyakitkan, adikku tenang setelah mendengarkan rencana dokter.

-*-

Proses UV pun untuk treatment pertama dimulai, yang terasa hanya hangat saja. Menurut dokter, prosedur ini membantu 'mematangkan' dan mengeringkan semua jerawat yang masih aktif. Kita cuma cukup tidur dengan nyaman selama 20an menit. Ruangannya juga cukup tenang, jadi terasa seperti relaksasi. 

Sehabis UV treatment, gel diberikan agar kulit tidak terasa terlalu kering. Setelah itu, treatment selanjutnya bisa dilakukan seminggu setelahnya. Adikku datang pada tanggal 17 October, jadi treatment kedua tanggal 24 October, dan treatment ketiga menurut dokter adalah 2 minggu setelah treatment kedua.

-*-

Beberapa produk original dari Dermies diberikan setelah treatment pertama, Sabun cuci muka, Serum, Day Moisturizer, dan Night Moisturizer. Semua produk ini bisa dengan mudah dibeli di Dermies. Ada berbagai macam produk lainnya yang bisa kamu lihat juga di website.

Adikku memiliki masalah dengan jerawat, oleh karena itu, produk yang diberikan berfokus pada perawatan anti jerawat dengan nama "Clear Me".

Saat pulang, adikku berpikir akan mengalami downtime seperti kondisi kulit kering sekali, ternyata tidak juga, menurut dia kondisinya biasa saja, mungkin karena pemakaian semua produk yang diberikan secara teratur, membantu proses penyembuhan kulit dengan sangat baik.

-*-

Clear Me Facial Wash dengan pH balance yang nyaman dipakai membersihkan kulit tanpa bikin kulit terasa kering tertarik, jadi nyaman deh, malah berasa moist gitu. Serum nya tidak memiliki aroma apapun, ringan saat dipakai dan mudah menyerap. Day Moisturizer dan Night Moisturizer nya juga tidka memiliki wewangian, jadi pas buat kulit yang sensitif terhadap parfum, semua produknya mudah meresap dan tidak lengket, bahkan pelembab malam yang teksturnya creamy juga gak oily di kulit.

Jadi keempat produk yang dipakai adikku, semua bisa dia pakai dengan tenang dan merasa cocok.

Oleh karena pengalaman pertama dengan Dermies begitu baik, adikku kembali lagi tanggal 24 October dan kali ini dia dibantu oleh dokter Fabiola untuk gentle purifying. Treatment chemical peeling yang dioles selama 15 menit ke wajah dengan sedikit tingling sensation (jadi agak sedikit seperti ada semut-semut kecil yang jalan-jalan, gak gigit ya). Dokter sudah memberi info bahwa akan ada pengelupasan 2-3 hari kedepan.

Treatment kedua jauh lebih cepat dari treatment pertama, setelah peeling gel dibersihkan, diberikan gel anti iritasi dia bisa pulang. Nah, sampai saat ini tanggal 28 October (saat post ini dibuat), adikku tidak mengalami pengelupasan sama sekali. Tidak ada down time ataupun reaksi negatif dengan semua treatment yang diberikan.

-*-

 


 

Pada empat foto diatas, aku tunjukkan kondisi kulit adikku yang terkena jerawat, memang jerawatnya berfokus di area dagu atau area yang tertutup masker. Kondisi nya hari per hari mengalami perbaikan yang berarti, jujur akupun puas dengan kondisi kulitnya yang jauh lebih baik dari sebelumnya.

Jerawat yang aktif sudah berkurang pertumbuhannya, dan jerawat yang ada juga mengering lebih cepat, lalu acne scar atau bekas jerawatnya pun memudar jauh lebih cepat dibanding saat dia belum ke Dermies, jadi menurut kami, worth banget treatment penanganan jerawat di Dermies.

Buat kamu yang penasaran, hubungi saja Dermies dna tanya-tanya langsung ya, sekarang lagi ada promo untuk program anti jerawat lho, don't missed it!!

The one I'm having is kinda a limited edition 100 ml formula, and it have like a metal thingy inside which I hope is not a spatula made to be used with the product, since somehow I don't believe in skincare used with metal, like honey and stainless spoon perhaps, but I could be wrong in the metal spatula, however I keep it as a souvenir only and use another plastic made spatula.

The details given on the website is amazing isn't it?! And it doesn't stop there, if you happen to read the reviews on their website many even name it as a magic in a jar, or obsessed, will keep using it and so on, and it does, I do believe in them, after using it for many years, on and off, as well, I do find it better than many moisturizer on the market, even those with price twice or more than this one.

-*-




The cap of the product is still the same as many years before, like a hat back in the old days. The container is satisfying, especially it contain 100ml, somehow I smile and happy just looking at it, knowing that my skin will stay hydrated and plump for the next 3 months give and take.

-*-

Looking at the tub, the product does seems overflowing with the creams. Using the one that stuck on the lid itself took me a few days. My skin is dry and pretty much sensitive too. If I use a skincare that a bit harsh, or contain certain kind of chemicals that might be okay for most people, on me, it can be seen within minutes to hours.

Wrong serum? I develop tiny acne within 12 hours, any product that have a tag line as 'exfoliation'? My skin become red within minutes, skincare with too much fragrance or perhaps alcohol? Itchy and burn feeling within seconds. And mostly those are from using drug store or mass produced brands that already have standards and pass many bars like USFDA and so on.

I don't believe in purging nor having my skin 'suffer for a better future' nor 'cleansing' that cause breakouts and more stuffs like that. I don't like to squeeze my acne, pimples, blackheads and other things that doesn't normally shown on the skin. I like them to be treated with dignity and kindness, I don't believe in terms 'beauty is pain'.

So using this cream means as well, it means pampering, caring, nurturing and be kind to my skin in a way that my skin show healthy significance effects from moist, plump, to healthy glow and looking like I 'm well rested (when I'm clearly not), I have that glow from within and my skin looks and appear way younger than I'm actually am with no wrinkles nor lines.

-*-

So I believe in Napiers formula that:

Packed with anti-oxidants, Napiers Original Formula is the key formula that applies to all belif products with skin calming, anti-trouble, and anti-aging benefits to keep skin healthy and radiant.

-*-

Upon application, the skin will appear glistening moist, wait a few minutes and it will be absorb on to the skin and it will feel soft while moist at the same time. Leaving the skin grease-less but visible healthier. What I enjoy the most is the long lasting moist effect that still light and comfortable. The formula is rich, but the cream is not thick and doesn't have that oily feeling perhaps it even felt smooth. The skin will appear moist for a day. Even thou' I never leave it unmoisturized for the next 26 hours since I always take a shower twice a day, so 12-18 hours is top.

I pretty much use the moisturizer with any toner and serum I have at home, I always made sure my skin is clean before applying skincare, and I tried to sleep at least 20 minutes after applying skincare, just to make sure they have ample time to be absorbed and not by my pillows sheets.

Dehydrated skin will definitely enjoy and gain many benefits from using this cream, as well as many other skin condition. I put it on my must have item of all times.

Lululun Precious Cream

Hello lovelies,

this is a product I've been using for around 2 months and it's empty now, and I just remember I haven't made a blog review for it yet. So, I'm sorry for the limited amount of photos, since I completely forgot to take some more pictures before tossing it out. The container itself is cute and all the details is provided on the box. Since I made the purchase in DonDonDonki Singapore, there's plenty of details in English.

If you happen to purchase the product in Japan, don't worry, just google or check out their official website in USA: https://www.lululunusa.com/

Lululun itself is very famous for their mask. They have a lot of facial mask sold worldwide, very famous in Japan as well and you can easily find them at any drug store, beauty shops or even last minute souvenir shop at any airport in Japan, it is crazy how this product sells. It's like there's tons of beauty products in Japan and many of them selling facial masks too, how come this particular brand become really famous has got to do with numbers.

They got a high rating locally, hence it made it out by tourists and now worldwide too. Following that success, Lululun creating a cream that said to be used after the mask. So it seals the moisture and nutrition on top of the skin continuing their mask.

-*-

The box is red, but the container inside is clear with a lid that feels like it comes from wonderland, the details is fairytale-like. The sticker on the other hand was a bit poorly made, like my husband even says it is not waterproof, so the writings will bleed if you accidentally in touch with liquid.

The cream appear thick but it's like melting butter when touch. Smells good, as in it doesn't have strong fragrance, more like a subtle and soft aroma, floral and a bit like mild vanilla and slightly citrus too.

I'm using the product with or without Lululun Mask, so sometime I can just use it after any serum available at home, or after any face mask from different brand and function, and so on, and I think the cream is versatile enough just like most moisturizer.


-*-



Here is the details given on Lululun official website:

Thick and rich gel matrix composition to hold moisture in

Plant-based emollient oils have superior hydration capacity, and we developed a unique gel matrix to hold them.The result is long-lasting hydration.

The thick, creamy texture transfers the beauty ingredients from the mask to your skin and seals it there.

Fermented yeast cell wall extract targets the structure of mature skin This extract contains high amounts of poly-beta(1-3)-glucopyranose, a glycan found in the cell walls of saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast used to make bread.
Yeast refines pores for more translucent skin.

Ingredients:

Water, Squalane, Glycerin, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phytosteryl/isostearyl/cetyl/stearyl/behenyl dimer dilinoleate, Stearyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Shea Butter, Polyglyceryl-10 pentastearate, Sodium stearoyl lactylate, Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/ C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Methylparaben, Batyl alcohol, Potassium Hydroxide, Phytosteryl/ Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Sorbitol, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Iron Oxides, Tocopherol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Sodium phosphate, Hydrolyzed Rice Extract, Yeast Extract, Dextran, Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2, Oryza Sativa Bran Extract, Citric Acid

-*-



As written on the details, the product does provide me a long lasting moist effects. Like it is enough for a dry skin, it helps me to stay around 12 hours ++ hydration. The feeling is pretty much comfortable, didn't feel any oiliness nor greasiness. Suitable as a travel companion when my skin is even more dry than usual, it kept the skin feeling happy and I don't see signs of dryness even on winter and long haul flights.

The only tips I can give is to use a spatula, since the product is like a thick creamy gel, it is even like a pudding, it need to be scoop out. Clean nails will do the job as well, but for me a spatula is handy, just remember to use a clean one every single time.

Bottom-line, it's a great product worth trying and using, the cream itself is like a magic cream that claims to help with most of skin problems, like hydration, regeneration and rejuvenating but since it is a skincare, the result can be seen when used routinely and diligently.

Fourteenth Fragrance Solid Perfume

Hello lovelies,

apa khabarnya kalian? Semoga semua dalam keadaan baik, sehat dan bahagia ya.

As happy as I could be in this condition, aku jadi sering beralih ke produk yang buat aku bahagia. Side effect dari gak bisa kemana-mana itu tangan dan mata yang terus jalan-jalan di dunia virtual alias online shopping hahaha!

Parfum lokal di Indonesia lagi booming ya and I love it!! Udah cape deh lihat perfume yang harganya mahal tapi ya belum tentu awet dan belum tentu suka banget juga, nah perfume lokal yang beredar di pasaran sekarang ini harganya jauh lebih bersahabat, mulai dari HMNS, Carl and Claire, Oullu, dan lainnya, aku sudah coba semua dan yang paling berkesan memang The Fourteeth Fragrance ini.

Solid perfume sendiri memang lebih soft aromanya dan evaporasinya lebih tercium di hidung, sedangkan solid perfume lebih slow release atau perlahan. Kita gunakan seperti balm di bagian nadi seperti di pergelangan tangan atau area leher, tapi bisa dimana saja dan karena kemasannya yang mungil dan mudah dibawa, jadi jauh lebih nyaman dan ringan. Belum lagi kalau suka traveling, produk non cairan juga tidak ada larangan untuk dimasukkan kedalam tas manapun yang kita bawa.

-*-




Aroma yang aku beli kali ini The Third dan The Second, lalu aku beli lagi The Third dan The Fifth karena super pede bakal suka sama The Third berdasarkan review orang lain, jadi review itu amat sangat membantu pembelian loh gaes hehehe karena bisa bantu mendeskripsikan aromanya.

Memang dalam setiap produk ditulis notes nya, tapi komposisi tiap notes bisa lebih dijelaskan saat dipakai. Karena meski ingredientsnya sama jika komposisi tiap ingredients berbeda tentunya menghasilkan hasil akhir yang berbeda.

Dalam The Second ada:
Amber, Vanilla, Fresh White Woods

tapi saat digunakan, aroma vanilla nya lembut bercampur dengan amber dengan hasil akhir aroma floral yang luxurious dan comforting at the same time.

-*-

The Third mengandung Orange Blossom, White Flowers, dan Musk. Saat dipakai, aromanya fresh dan agak mirip aroma habis mandi, oleh karena itu penjelasan yang diberikan oleh brand adalah fresh after shower aroma.

Sedikit fruity karena orange blossom yang memang seperti aroma bunga yang segar bebasis buah, aku sendiri selalu menyukai perfume yang mengandung orange blossom, dan white flowers nya cukup ringan diakhiri dengan musk yang juga cukup ringan namun long lasting membuat aroma ini cocok digunakan sehari-hari.

Semua orang dirumahku sangat menyukai The Third karena ramah di hidung siapapun, unisex dan kesegarannya itu loh yang bikin nyiumin perfume ini seharian juga betah.

-*-

The Second jelas banget sesuai penjelasan diatas, aromanya lebih feminin dan lebih warm (hangat) dibanding The Third.

Setiap hari aku pakai keduanya, di mix di belakang leher dan bisa tahan sekitar 5 jam, apalagi saat kena rambut, dan saat menengok ke kanan atau ke kiri, aroma lembut keduanya saat dipadukan jadi bikin kita berasa cantik hahaha. Aku lebih suka menggunakan The Second saat dipadukan dengan The Third, sedangkan The Third bisa aku gunakan tanpa campuran scent lain karena cukup memuaskan.

The Fifth aromanya lebih ke woody dan menurut aku lebih warm lagi dan cocok untuk male. Aroma yang lebih enak saat dipakai dalam waktu lama dibanding saat baru diaplikasikan. Enaknya solid perfume begitu, justru makin dipakai makin enak dibanding spray perfume yang first dan middle notes nya cenderung tenggelam setelah 1 jam pertama (some doesn't even make it to last a full long hour).

Jika kamu pecinta perfume tapi tidak suka aroma yang menohok, cobain deh Fourteenth Fragrance solid perfume ini, terutama yang The Third, karena rasanya hampir semua orang suka dengan aroma fresh sehabis mandi hehe, kecuali jika kamu tidak suka mandi.

1 produk dijual sekitar Rp. 100 rb, tapi kemarin sempat bundling Rp.150an ribu dapat 2 di Tokopedia.

Looke Cosmetics Loose Powder dan Lip Creme

Hello lovelies,

it's been way too long, aku baru sadar, sudah berbulan-bulan belum menulis di blog ini karena satu dan lain hal, salah satunya dari operasi laparoskopi usus buntu, kista dan internal bleeding yang beberapa minggu lalu aku alami, jadi memang masih recovery and I'm feeling better everyday.

Aku mau bahas mengenai Looke Cosmetics punya Loose Powder yang Freya dan Lip Creme yang Gaia.

-*-



Kemasan box hitam dengan deisgn yang unique dan modern, the box is enough lah untuk melindungi produk dari benturan kejamnya dunia kurir dan pengantaran. Jadi saat mereka sampai dirumahku, mereka sampai dengan aman dan baik. Aku lebih penasaran ke loose powdernya karena kebetulan sudah beberapa kali menggunakan lip creme Looke dengan shade yang berbeda.

Mari kita bahas dari loose powder yang dijual dengan harga Rp. 160 ribu. Setau aku ada dua shade, Freya dan Terra. Terra lebih natural dan Freya memang lebih fair atau bright dengan tone yang light.

Informasi dari website Looke Cosmetics:

Holy Smooth & Blur Loose Powder is a loose powder with ultra-silky particles to help to blur the pores and fine lines making the skin looking soft with a matte finish. It also helps to lock your makeup to make it last longer and creates a smooth skin. It is also infused with Jojoba Oil for extra hydration and protection from the UV light.

-*-

Semua detail tertulis dengan baik di kemasan, dan di website.

How to use:
- For absorbing excess oil and creaseless finish, apply a generous amount of powder with the puff around the eyes and T-zone. Gently dust away from the excess powder after three minutes.
- For setting the makeup, apply a light amount of powder all over your face with a large brush to set any liquid or cream formula applied.

Available shades:

• Freya: A light beige color suitable for light-medium skin tones
• Terra: A medium beige color suitable for medium-deep skin tones

FREYA

Talc, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Silica, Boron Nitride, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Macadamia Seed (Jojoba) Oil, Xylitol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Phosphate, Water

May Contain: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499

TERRA

Talc, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Titanium Dioxide, Silica, Boron Nitride, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Macadamia Seed (Jojoba) Oil, Xylitol, Aluminium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Phosphate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Water

May Contain: CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499, CI 77891

Tampaknya ingredients pada kedua produk sedikit berbeda.

-*-

Saat dibuka, kita bisa memilih memutar (untuk membuka produk sampai ke pot powder) atau menarik seperti pada compact powder. Ada puff dan kaca yang cukup memadai. Jangan lupa untuk membuka lapisan pada kaca sebelum digunakan agar tidak blur/matte.

Karena tekstur bedak yang sangat ringan atau fine, aku merekomendasikan untuk memakai powder brush agar aplikasi lebih mudah dan merata. Sehingga saat digunakan efek loose powder yang ringan dan nyaris tak terlihat tapi tetap membuat kulit terlihat lebih halus, soft dan makeup lebih tahan lama.

-*-




Aku menggunakan loose powder Looke setelah semua makeup selesai digunakan, sebagai setting powder, namun bisa juga digunakan sebagai baking, cukup gunakan puff atau sponge, aplikasikan pada kulit di area yang diinginkan, diamkan sebentar sambil menggunakan makeup mata, lalu brush dengan powder brush.

Memang saat menggunakan puff atau sponge, powder terlihat sangat putih, namun setelah di blend atau brush dengan baik, akan terlihat alami dan lightly dust the skin to make the skin looks more flawless.

-*-




Loose powder ini menurut aku nyaman, teksturnya yang halus membuat pemakaian produk ini cukup sedikit aja dan tahan cukup lama. Karena ada kaca pada kemasan, kita bisa taruh di tas dan bawa kemanapun kita pergi, plus brush tentunya agar pemakaian bisa lebih baik. Touch up juga cukup nyaman dan membuat makeup kita kembali terlihat fresh. Kalau kulot tampak berminyak baiknya gunakan oil blotter dulu sebelum touch up dengan powder ini, sama halnya jika berkeringat, dab dulu wajah kita dengan tissue secara perlahan untuk mengeringkan agar powder bisa di brush dengan baik tanpa menempel secara berlebih di kulit yang basah atau berminyak.

-*-



Kulitku jadi terlihat soft focus gitu kan ya hehe. Aku suka efek yang dibuat loose powder ini. Bikin pori-pori terlihat lebih lembut dan garis-garis halus seakan-akan tidak ada. Efek powder ini tentunya berbeda dengan tiap orang karena tergantung aktivitas dan lingkungan, kalau berada di ruangan ber ac dengan kondisi yang tenang, jelas makeup tahan lebih lama dibanding kita harus berpanas-panas ria dibawah matahari.

-*-




Sekarang, mari kita bahas mengenai lip creme nya ya. Kali ini aku cobain warna Gaia yang seperti merah bata. Shade lain dari Looke Cosmetics menurut aku cukup natural dan earth tone, jadi sesuai untuk digunakan sehari-hari. Bukan spesifik nude, tapi tone yang memang pas buat dipakai kerja, kuliah, atau event dengan dominan warna merah yang kalem.

Lip Creme Looke Cosmetics terkenal bisa digunakan sebagai cheek cream, eyeshadow, dan tentunya bibir juga, jadi kalau mau buat one tone makeup, bisa kamu coba produk ini.

Berikut informasi dari website:

Holy Lip Crème will give a true matte finished look. it's lightweight and lasts for hours. With additional of nourishing ingredients, it will give non-drying feeling and glide smoothly on your lips.

Isododecane, Cyclomethicone, Mica, Dimethicone, Cera Microcristallina, Titanium Dioxide, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dextrin Palmitate, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Flavour, Propylene Carbonate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Tocopheryl Acetate, BHT, Bisabolol.
May Contain: CI 15850:1, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499.

-*-

Ini adalah produk saat baru diaplikasikan, terlihat masih basah dan glossy, tapi within a few minute, akan berubah jadi totally matte. Nah, yang aku suka dari produk ini setelah dia set, gak akan geser sama sekali dan nyaman. Gak bikin kulit bibir berasa ketarik atau kering. Jadi masih cukup nyaman dipakai long hours. Kalau makan superrrr berminyak seperti bakwan di kampus Atma, ya masihlah gerak dikit, dan saat di wipe pakai tissue, ada bagian yang terangkat meski tidak banyak.

Memang konsistens dan tekstur lip cream ini baik, warnanya dari pertama swipe pekat dan entah kita mau layer atau tidak, akan tetap seperti itu. Daya coveragenya sangat baik, menutupi uneven skin tone bibir kita. Satu hal mengenai setting time lip cream ini yang sekitar 2-3 menit sebenarnya pas buat cheek cream dan eyeshadow, karena kita perlu waktu untuk mem-blend produk sebelum benar-benar set. Layering sepertinya lebih dibutuhkan saat menggunakannya sebagai cheek cream atau eyeshadow karena kita perlu membuat gradasi.

Warna lip cream bisa di mix dengan produk lain (untuk aplikasi bibir) untuk membuat style tertentu dan so far menurut aku cukup mudah di blend dan dikreasikan.

-*-

Berikut penampilan Lip Cream Gaia saat sudah mengering. Aku merasa bibirku tetap dengan nyaman bebas bergerak dan aku tidak menggunakan lip pencil atau lip liner untuk membentuk, namun jika kalian merasa perlu, silahkan gunakan.

Membersihkan lip cream ini menurut aku mudah dengan cleansing oil. Jadi makeup remover berbasis minyak akan mengangkat lip cream ini seketika, tanpa stain atau bekas apapun.

-*-

Shade Gaia ini di aku terlihat sophisticated, kalau aku ada meeting dengan beauty brand, sepertinya ini warna yang cocok aku gunakan, dimana aku terlihat gently bold tapi masih comforting (hahaha), intinya aku suka warna seperti ini karena cocok juga dengan skin tone manapun, untuk light skin memang efeknya lebih kontrast dibanding olive skin tone, karena daya coverage nya yang sangat baik, bibir dengan warna gelap pun akan dengan mudah tertutup dengan lip cream ini dalam satu usapan.

Daya tahan lip cream dengan harga Rp. 140 ribu ini juga sangat baik, tidak meninggalkan bekas di gelas, tissue, tangan, kulit siapapun (ehm), saat makan, selama kita bisa menjaga dengan tidak bersentuhan dengan makanan yang terlalu berminyak, riasan bibir ini akan awet dan bisa dengan mudah di touch up tanpa ada efek menggumpal.

-*-




Thank you so much Looke Cosmetics for making these babies, produk-produknya mudah digunakan dan nyaman. Semoga produk kalian terus berkembang dengan safety yang sama atau lebih baik lagi, karena saat ini Looke Cosmetics tidak menggunakan sulfate, paraben, alcohol, serta cruelty free dan vegan friendly juga.
