It's a pretty easy and simple hand cream and their function is just as it is, to help moisten our hands especially when we wash our hands a lot. It kept them soft and  smooth. The feeling is pretty much comfortable and not greasy nor sticky. But a bit slippery when sweating or wet.

The  pleasing scent is just an addition that made hand cream less boring.

The texture itself is like a creamy lotion, not thick but not as watery as lotion does. When traveling, I also use the product as an emergency body lotion. Hence, the tiny tube is perfect for the smallest purse and can be carried on board during flights.

-*-

It kept my hands feeling soft, smooth and has a pleasing mild scent that last for a while. I love how they feel. By keeping the hands moist also made them stay younger, aging does shown on the hands too.

-*-

You can pick the ones that is your favorite, there's one that really sweet, but I prefer a fresh spring floral scent.

Etude House Play 101 Stick Duo

Hello lovelies,

similar to my previous post, it's about contouring and highlighting. While the Aura Highlights only focusing on highlights, Etude House Play 101 Stick Duo is like said, a duo, contouring and highlight in one.

-*-

http://www.etude.com.my

cum shading stick expresses defining contour makeup by highlighting the nose bridge and chin line

• Highlighter & shading duo stick

• Easy blending, creamy texture

• Quick & easy multi-auto stick

-*-

The product comes in a box with details, inside is a tube with two side, one with lighter shade acts as a highlight and the one with darker shade as a contour.

-*-



Information given on the box is compelling. Etude House has been an international brand, hence everything already given in English.

-*-




I find no problems at all reading the ingredients and other necessary details including how to and so on.

It was pretty much an easy product to be used and one can use it according to the shape of their face.

-*-




As for me, this is how I'm using the duo.

-*-

I'm focusing the highlights on my forehead, nose bridges, upper cheeks, chin and the contour goes to the sides of the nose, jawline, cheek bones and neck in vertical stripes.

-*-

I'm using the stick duo after a cc cream, hence it was still in the wet makeup. Blending the formula really does feels easy, too easy and we don't really have to blend them too well or they'll disappear. Using a beauty blender would be nice.

-*-

It helps creating the 3D effect that still comes off natural. I can add or reduce as I please, easy to be erased, easy to blend and easy to apply and re-apply, even after powder.

-*-

The product is available at Althea and they always have promotions and discounts going on, as Althea is having their first birthday, the giveaway is massive.

See you there!

Etude House Color My Brow

Hello everyone,

here's one last makeup I got from KoreaBuys.com. It's Color My Brow. A mascara made for eyebrows that not just coated the brows in color but made them water resistant. Or at least last far longer than any pencils.

-*-

In the image above and below, I'm using the product on my left eyebrow and the right one is just using a pencil. The shade is visible and the feeling is a bit wet when first used. Like using a mascara, and then it dries up and created a thin film like most mascara do, but instead of on the lashes, it was on my brows.

-*-

Here are the details on http://www.etudehouse.com

A mascara only for eyebrow to keep its layer neat and give natural but urbane colors.
- Hide dark & black brow: Providing natural and clear brow colors by hiding its own dark color.
- Easy & Quick brow coloring: Quickly dried to make brow layer and color fixed even while re-applying.
- Brow care: Allantoin, Beeswax, Carnauba wax provide nutrition and moisture on skin and brow.

How to apply

- Lightly touch eyebrow in the opposite direction of eyebrow to layer color.
- Comb towards eyebrow layer to make them neat. Make brow head's layer to stand.

- In case of lack of eyebrow hair, use eyebrow pencil to make eyebrow line first and use Color My Brow: It makes naturally clear eyebrow.

-*-

The container is small, shorter than mascara for eyelash, but the wand is definitely bigger than the ones I'm using.

Suitable for the brows in terms of the wand and size of the brush, I can use the tip for the edges.

-*-

Mine is in Light Brown and somewhat similar to my hair color (beside the greens), I would love to try other shades like red.

-*-

Thank you KoreaBuys.com for making my eyebrow covered in statement shades. It is definitely much safer than coloring my brows in hair colorant and I can easily changed their color whenever I feel like it. I hope the products comes in more shades than just 5.

IJB Group 15th Anniversary

Hello everyone,

It's movie time with IJB Group.

-*-




So a few days ago, I received an email from IJB 

Dalam rangka perayaan "15th years Anniversary IJB Group", kali ini kami ingin membagi kebahagiaan bersama rekan-rekan yang turut membantu membesarkan nama brand-brand yang berada di bawah naungan IJB Group, PT Interkos Jaya Bhakti dan PT Artdeco Indonesia.

Dimulai pada November 1999 dengan PT Interkos Jaya Bhakti, yang berfokus pada produk consumer goods/ retail beauty products, seperti decorative cosmetics, skin care, body care dan hair care products. Kemudian menyusul PT Artdeco Indonesia, yang turut melengkapi keinginan dan kebutuhan para pencinta beauty di Indonesia dengan menghadirkan perawatan kecantikan, produk skin care, body care hingga makeup seperti Redwin, Beauty Couture, Dr.Jart+, Cottage dan Canmake.

Kami mengundang rekan-rekan sekalian untuk mengikuti pemutaran perdana film "Captain America: Civil War" dalam rangka perayaan "15 tahun IJB Group" yang akan dilangsungkan pada:

Hari/ tanggal	:	Rabu, 27 April 2016
Pukul	:	13.30 - selesai
Tempat	:	CGV*blitz Sweet Box Lounge, Grand Indonesia.
		Jl. MH. Thamrin No. 1, Jakarta Pusat.

Turut hadir dalam acara antara lain Yenny Maria, Directress IJB Group serta Brand Manager atau Brand Representative di bawah naungan IJB Group seperti Etude House Indonesia, Cottage Indonesia, Redwin Indonesia, Dr.Jart+ Indonesia, Canmake Indonesia dan Beauty Couture.

-*-

So IJB Group is a company that distribute many brands  such as Dr. Jart+, Canmake, Redwin and so on. And bloggers has been a part of them for years as well, so we celebrate the 15th anniversary together.

-*-

We look at the brands, the products and their collection. Some are still fresh to me while the other bring back memories.

From makeup, skincare, toiletries to products made for very sensitive skin.

-*-

Beauty Couture also part of IJB Group. A place where beauty products and beauty treatments met.

-*-

I see a lot of my favorite products here and they all look so irresistible, Cottage has many scents that I enjoyed using daily. Canmake has many kawaii makeup, while brands from Korea has tons of products that I would love to try. Seems like they are keep adding new products on daily basis.

-*-

Finally, the event begin at around 2.15 PM.

-*-

Greetings from IJB Groups, representatives from each brands and it summarizes their thoughts, hopes and appreciation for the wonderful 15 years and the coming years ahead.

-*-

It was really hot day and we were all standing under the clear glass with no air conditioning whatsoever. I kinda feel lightheaded during the day. It's a good thing that each brand only share a 5 minute speech.

-*-

This is a rare event where we can all meet all the brand managers from each brands, like finally we met people behind Dr.Jart+, Redwin, and especially Cottage.

-*-

All of their events always fully crowded with media and bloggers, seems like in this event, not many people came.

-*-

After the final words we also get to see that IJB Group is making donation to the people suffering from Lupus.

-*-

With purple bow as a symbol of care for those with Lupus, the greetings finally over.

-*-

And it's time to watch the movie together, Captain America, here we come.

Finally we can cool off :D

-*-

Thank you so much IJB Groups for inviting me, congratulations of the 15th Anniversary, hope to see more of you and success in the following years as well.

Etude House Happy Essential Foam and Every Month Cleansing Foam

Hello lovelies,

cleanser is for sure one of the item we have to use on daily basis. Whether we like using skincare or not, all of us are using cleanser.

Going into a store like Etude House, we will be served with many options of cleanser.

-*-

From dry skin, severely dry, oily, dull, brightening to just about anything is here. I have problem choosing them and finally ends up with these three goodies.

Happy Essential Foam, Deep Moisturizing and Soothing Relief.

-*-

http://www.etudehouse.com

Happy Essential Foam

Description
Fomulated with 40% moisturizers, this creamy cleansing foam gently removes impurities with rich lather, while Hyaluronic Acid promotes hydration.
Skin is happy again, feeling clean, smooth and soft.

Directions
Wet face. Squeeze small amount into palm and rub hands together to form lather.
Massage over face, avoiding eye area, then rinse thoroughly.

Caution
1. For external use only.
2. Avoid contact with eyes.
3. Keep out of reach of children.
4. Discontinue use if signs of irritation and/or rash appear.

GLYCERIN, WATER, STEARIC ACID, MYRISTIC ACID, PEG-32, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, LAURIC ACID, SORBITOL, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, LAURYL GLUCOSIDE, SODIUM METHYL COCOYL TAURATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, PEG-14M, ALCOHOL, DISODIUM EDTA, BHT, SODIUM BENZOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, BLUE 1 (CI 42090), FRAGRANCE

The details given for the Happy Essential Foam is suffice, but Every Month Cleansing Foam does not.

Just a general information.

Number one from the Every Month Cleansing Foam collection is Avocado, Deep Moisturizing

1.AVOCADO - The Every Month Cleanser for Normal/Dry Skin removes impurities while soothing and comforting with avocado. This hydrating cleanser is also enriched with moisture-rich shea butter.

and number 7 is Aloe Vera, Soothing Relief

7.ALOE VERA- This is a soothing type of cleansing foam that has aloe vera extract that soothes and irritates skin. The aloe vera extract is known for its excellent moisturizing and soothing capabilities.

-*-

So do please read more on the packaging.

Or ask the staff upon purchasing on which one that suits you best.

I chose these three since it seems like they are the ones that are most compatible with my dry and sometime sensitive skin.

-*-

In terms of how to use, they are all pretty much the same. Wet the skin, lather the product on the palm and then use in on the face as the foam cleanses the skin.

-*-

The differences upon these three is the texture and added ingredients. Avocado is the riches, Happy Essential Foam is the freshest and gives most foam, while aloe vera is the lightest in foam and effects too.

-*-

The middle one is avocado, and the clear one is, of course, aloe vera, and the far left next to avocado (that is white creamy and similar in texture) is the Happy Essential Foam.

-*-

Here's my full review regarding the cleanser:

Happy Essential Foam,

suitable for normal skin type and almost anyone can use it. It cleanses daily debris and sebum. Perfect as a morning wash for the fresh clean feeling, especially when no makeup is used. The product is suitable when used as a double cleanser as a remover for the previous product (such as cleansing oil). It is a simple cleanser that foam easily and clean the skin with only the foam will make the skin bouncily happy and not dry.

Every Month Cleansing Foam
Avocado
Very creamy and doesn't lather as much as Happy Essential Foam. Suitable to be used after removing makeup and help made the skin feel moister after the wash. It has this creamy and slightly oily feeling but not greasy, like pampering the skin while cleaning them, kinda unique in it's own way and definitely made for dry skin.

Aloe Vera,
the clear and gel like formula doesn't lather as much as the other. It cleanses the skin very gently and suitable for those who have sensitive skin. It calms the skin and doesn't irritate them in any way.
Light, in any way possible.

There you go, I hope I can try more or perhaps all of their cleanser, someday perhaps, someday.

Thank you Etude House Indonesia.
