Lakme Classics Reinvent Brightening Foundation, Compact Powder, and Eyebrow Pencil

Hello lovelies,

this time I'm back with makeup from Lakme Classic Reinvent brightening foundation, compact powder, and eyebrow pencils. A set makeup that recently been shared by Lakme Cosmetics. Now, this one is actually a range that was more affordable alias murah sis. Foundienya aja Rp.79k dan pencil alisnya Rp.49k, so they are realllyy budget friendly.

But still, even thou' they are in the budget friendly zone, they are still good and for me? Effective in so many ways possible.

-*-

I couldn't really find details about them on the web.But Lakme gladly handed me some of the product information needed and I'm going to pass some to you.

First, let's start with Skin Brightening Foundation yang waterbased, jadi clearly, jauh lebih ringan daripada yang oil based ya. Meski terasa ringan dan melembabkan, jangan salah, coverage-nya buildable, pemakaian 2-3 kali udah nutup banget semua yang perlu di"hilangkan". Ada kandungan niacinamide, nah inilah bahan yang bantu memcerahkan kulit.

-*-

Foundationnya ada 4 shades yaitu Fair, Light, Medium dan Deep yang menurut aku ini udah cukup banget pas buat kulit orang Indonesia or perhaps Asian too. Karena perbedaan 1 shade ke yang lainnya cukup lumayan, dibawah adalah foto swatch compact powder dan foundation shade Fair dan Light.

Paling terang adalah Fair, 2 swatch pertama dari kiri adalah powder dan foundie Fair, dan dua dari kanan adalah foundie dan compact Light. Keliatan banget kan bedanya, jadi jangan salah, meski gak tersedia dalam 40 shades yang bedanya tipis-tipis, ini bisa di mixed antara 4 (fair, Light, Medium, Deep) untuk adjust ke warna sesuai dengan yang kamu inginkan.

Meski memang mungkin buat yang kulitnya super gelap, shade nya belum mumpuni, jadi buat saudara kita yang dari Papua contohnya, mungkin harus cari brand lain. Semoga someday shade Lakme lebih banyak ya.

-*-

Finishnya efek natural matte, yang aku sih merasa cocok, karena pas buat sehari-hari, gak matte kering, gak dewy gossy juga yang  kadang kalau dipakai outdoor jadi kayak super shiny. Tapi foundienya bisa di blend dengan produk lain until I get the right finish that I want. If I want it to be super matte, just add matte powder in finishing and if I want a dewy complexion, I can focus on glowing base as well.

Cleaning the product after use and like on all of other makeup, simply use a makeup remover all over.

Now, let's continue with the next item, the compact.

Compact powder rasanya masih cukup heits ya buat dipakai sehari-hari, dengan wet sponge atau dry brush, untuk mendapatkan hasil yang berbeda. Mengandung vitamin B3 and skin brightening pearl.

-*-

Shade nya sama dengan foundie, ada 4 dan namanya juga sama, Fair, Light, Medium dan Deep. Deep bisa dipakai untuk contour dan eyeshadow, seperti semua makeup ya, apa yang bisa dipakai di bagian muka ya bisa buat semuka hehe. Seperti lipstik bisa buat cheek cream, eyeshadow yang bisa buat shading, dsb.

Mari kembali ke compact powder yang kacanya cukup buat aku sumringah karena the size itself is big and satisfying. Puff nya sih standart dan bisa diganti dengan tools favorit, which for me, powder brush. Coveragenya juga buildable, jadi setelah pakai foundie lalu ditambah dengan compact powder ini bisa maksimal menutup segala permasalahan di kulit, nah soal harga? Rp 69k saja. Bayangkan budget friendly banget kan.

Buat aku pribadi, foundie dan powdernya pas buat dipakai sehari-hari tanpa bikin kantong jebol, dan perasaan saat menggunakan kedua produk ini juga cukup nyamanm bahkan agak-agak kaya tidak berasa pakai apapun, karena memang lightweight. Mungkin karena foundie yang water based tadi cukup berperan dibanding yang thick creamy apalagi oily texture.

Dengan alasan ringan in pulalah, mereka saat dipakai berbarengan lebih awet di kulit. Engga terasa pakai. And one more thing, the powder contain SPF 20 which is light I know, tapi lumayan buat nambah-nambahin SPF di kulit daripada engga ada.

-*-

Sekarang, mari kita mengupas eyebrow pencils nya yang ada pilihan brown dan black. Pada foto diatas, I'm using their brown shade which already seems deep enough for me, still, I like the black one too since it add a different dimension on me. Jadi paling pakainya sesuai mood/ look yang diinginkan.

Produk seharga Rp. 40k ini, paraben dan oil free. Mengandung Vit E, mudah digunakan dan mudah diblend. Meski pensilnya kelihatan kering, di alis tetep super nyaman dan nempel banget di alis. Jadi pas pakai, pelan-pelan aja ya, jangan terlalu diteken biar gak bold sangat.

1 hal yang aku suka meski mereka gak waterproof, tapi staying powernya dapet dan smudge resistant. Jangan digosok-gosok juga, pasti ada pengaruhnya. Bersihkan dengan makeup remover sih gampang ya, sekali swipe juga hilang (oil base makeup remover), yang artinya, kalau kamu super oily dan gampang banget keringetan, tambahkan sedikit mattefying powder di alis, biar pensilnya lebih awet stay disana.

Tidak dilengkapi dengan serutan dan brush ya, jadi silahkan pakai serutan dan brush eyebrow lain hehe.

Jujur ini pensil alis yang cukup murah tapi very good. I really love it apalagi pas diserut gak gampang patah atau lumer, jadi gak ngotorin serutan juga kaya yang model crayon bleber gitu. Pas diserut sampe runcing, bisa bikin garis-garis super halus kaya baru habis sulam alis, sukaaaa banget!

-*-

Meski harganya budget friendly (banget) bukan berarti produk murahan yaaa, so far kulit aku gak ada iritasi atau masalah selama pemakaian, dan jangan lupa hukum yang berlaku untuk semua makeup, dibersihkan dengan seksama dan jangan dibawa tidur. Lalu kalau bergadang boleh? Yah jangan lah ya, setelah sekitar 8 jam cukup lah, dibersihkan saja kulitnya dan kalau butuh makeup lagi dibersihkan dulu, diberi skincare dulu, baru makeupan lagi.

Semua detail cukup ada di kemasannya, jadi silahkan dibaca di bagian box sebelum dibuang hehe.

-*-

Thank you so much for reading the review, semoga somewhat berguna dan bermanfaat. Buat yang keracun buat beli, semoga kamu sesuka itu sama produk-produknya sama kaya akuh.

Ehhh jangan lupa, belinya di toko Lakme yang resmi yaa, ternyata banyak yang fake diluar sana, bisa di cari di Lakme official offline store di Central Park, kalau mau online, beli di Tokopedia, ada Lakme Reinvent Indonesia official store ya.... btw lagi diskon sis, bayangin, udah murah, didiskonin lagi up to 35%, lah udah murah diskon lagiiii. Buruan, jangan ketinggalan.

See you soon on my next post!!

Lakmé Absolute Reinvent x Anggie Rassly Precision Marble Eyebrow Pencil

Hello lovelies,

finally, after months of thinking I've done the review on my blog, I know remember, I have none. Really sorry for everyone, oops, my bad. I think I'm overly excited with the giveaway, the goods itself and I'm traveling a lot lately, so even thou' I brought and been using the products often, I didn't really have time to write it down, well, here it is.

After months and months of using the eyebrow pencil, I think this post should be suffice heehee.

-*-

Thank goodness I still have pictures from the event, it was luxurious and classy isn't it?! The gold and black are a match like the product itself. Precision Marble Eyebrow Pencil comes in two shades of grey and brown. A two most sought after shades for eyebrows since they provide a more natural impact and the marble formula itself is a trademark which made us able to create a finer looking brows.

Anggie herself share with us during the event, that she always use more than one color to create her signature eyebrows for her client, maybe this is also one of her secret.

-*-

The product comes in a box where you don't just get a product, but a sharpener as well. Not just a cheap sharpener but a good quality one that is pretty reliable. The pencil itself is not too soft, it's perfectly made as it doesn't crumble easily when sharpened, yet still gentle on the skin. The colors does stick on the skin and hair without fail and hold on to it until being cleaned.

The Eyebrow Pencil is not waterproof nor rub proof. But it does have staying power, so it's more like a water resistant. As long as we don't keep on rubbing it off, the brows will stay put.

-*-

The pencil also comes with a brush on the other end. So this is I suppose an all in one product made with care by Lakme Absolute Reinvent, you don't have to worry about getting a sharpener and another separated brush. These babies works together in harmony.

The pencil itself come in a perfect size, not too tiny and not too big, you know, like a chubby stick.

-*-

I love the black color with shiny words. It's glistening in every angle.

-*-

The marble-ness can be seen on the product. It appear like a multicolored pencil, which it is.

-*-

Below is the swatches of Lakme Absolute Reinvent X Anggie Rassly Precision Marble Eyebrow Pencil in brown (up) and in grey (below).

They look so pretty, right?! The colors is just right and the effect of natural eyebrows without looking too much is presented.

-*-

Thank you so much Lakme Indonesia for giving us the products. The eyebrow pencil cost around 100k and I think it is almost sold out.

K-Palette 3Way Eyebrow Pencil & Powder

Hello lovelies,

since recently I've been playing with youtube a lot, seems like I'm neglecting the blog heehee, sorry. But, I'll try to post at least once a week and keep you updated on the products I've been using, especially the ones that are really good and impressive. Like this 1 Day Eyebrow Tattoo from our favorite brand K-Palette that launched their supreme eyeliner.

With the same principle of an all day lasting makeup, their eyebrow product are also made to last.

-*-

Our NEW K-Palette Lasting 3Way Eyebrow Pencil now has an IMPROVED and SMOOTHER pencil, Strong Hold Powder with a thin applicator for precise application and a Brow Spoolie brush to blend the harsh lines.
3-in-1 Function:
 Eyebrow Pencil: Pencil with soft texture can easily fill in the gap of the brows and refine the eyebrow shape.

Eyebrow Powder: Powder with natural radiance enhances the 3D effect of the eyebrows. 

Eyebrow Brush: Soft and spiral brush allows the hairs look more natural and smooth.

1. Use the eyebrow pencil to fill the gap and refine the shape.

2. Apple the eyebrow powder to enhance 3D effect. 

3. Use the brush to brush the eyebrows.

-*-

All the details is provided on the back side of the packaging, do click on any image to see it in larger view.

The product is look like below. It also comes in a few shade from the darkest to the lightest, I personally like the darker shades heehee, since I think eyebrow should be obvious.

-*-

This is why it was said to be three way, there's pencil, powder and the brush, so it's three applicator in one, handy huh?!

The pencil is of course, the boldest one, powder is the one that shaped like a cone and soft too, the powder are inside the container where it held when closed. The brush is super comfortable, perhaps one of the most wonderful eyebrow brush ever existed. Those who've been using brush that comes in a set must have known, most of them sucks! Like either too thin, too painful, or even scrapped the skin of the eyebrow, it can be unbearable, not this one for sure. It's really so comfortable and I highly recommend the brush itself and never throw it out even when the pencil and powder run out.

-*-

First, as mention on the how to, use the pencil to outdraw the line of the eyebrow. I'm not going to teach you on how to make eyebrows here, since it will be purely for reviewing the product.

And I do think everyone know their eyebrow better heeheee.

Now back to the product, the pencil itself is like most eyebrow pencil that shaped the brow, not hard but definitely not soft in terms of texture, and this is the best part, the pencil is waterproof and resist to rubbing, even with soap and water. So you don't have to worry when there's sudden rain or going swimming, your brow is still in shape.

-*-

How about the powder, it's soft, help filling in the brows, but not waterproof nor rub proof, so it does goes away when there's rain or going swimming.

It does depends on the shade as well, that's one of the reason I like darker shade since the powder is more visible as well.

-*-

This is the swatch of the powder, as seen, it is pretty soft right?! It does what it does, filling in only, and not as vivid as the pencil. The powder puff also so delicate, I think I can use it for anything too, like eyeshadow in a tone like the eyebrow to filling it more.

-*-

To see the comparison between the pencil and the pwoder, do look at the image below.

-*-

And I do think that the powder run out faster than the pencil too.

Will I repurchase the product? Yes, for sure, even thou the powder is not waterproof, the pencil does, and the brush is a must try too, it's perhaps the best brush I had for eyebrows. I think for the next one, I'm going to buy a darker or similar shade with this one, mocha. There's also light brown, grayish brown, natural brown and so on.

I bought mine in Singapore around 15-17$, I don't really remember the exact price, but it was somewhat on that area, definitely not cheap but worth to purchase.

-*-

Thanks for reading my post, hope to see you all again soon.

Lash in Bloom Multi Lash Extention by Browhaus

 Hi lovelies,

yesterday I went to Browhaus again, and this time it's in Plaza Senayan. The place is tugged beneath Metro Dept Store, just one level below the ground, so do take escalator down and you can find Browhaus right at the end of the corner.

You'll notice the significant feature of Browhaus instantly.

-*-

One of Browhaus famous service for the lashes is called Lash in Bloom, there's several type from single to multi, the recent one is called Multi Lash Extension which is the one I'm trying right now.

Lash In Bloom is a lash extension service by BROWHAUS that gives you beautiful lashes that frame your eyes to make them appear larger and darker. It is a quick and effective way to emphasise your eyes, giving you a groomed and polished appearance.

Aside from the lashes, brows are their specialty, from shaping, filing, coloring to even brow resurrecting.

-*- 

A semi private room is prepared for each guess, unlike waxing that need total privacy, brows and lashes can simply work in a semi open area. Most of the service are done base on appointment, so do book before coming to their branch. They have one in Senayan City, Lippo Mall Puri, Grand Indonesia, and many more, do look for details in http://www.browhaus.com/outlets/

Soon, my session begin. Start by cleaning the area, oh there are some tips before coming to the appointment:

Arrive with clean, bare eyelashes without any make-up, including mascara. Eyelashes should not be permed or curled. If you have an eye infection or have recently undergone eye surgery or lasik, we recommend a minimum rest period of 2 months after your procedure before proceeding with Lash In Bloom.

-*-

Lash in Bloom lashes are carefully adhered close to your lash line using a gentle yet durable adhesive. We take the utmost care to ensure that there is minimum contact with the skin. Our top quality adhesive does not cause stinging to the eyes and nose. It has been specially formulated for BROWHAUS by our dedicated R&D team, who works tirelessly to ensure that our products and techniques are the best in the industry.

We customise your lashes before the application of each lash tab. Depending on your needs and eye shape, our therapists will advise on the most suitable lash type for you. You can choose from having a Bold & Dramatic look, Defined look or Lush look with either Natural, Cat Eyes or Doll style. The lash extensions come in a variety of thickness, length and curl (not applicable to Cluster Lash In Bloom).

With proper care and proper, professional treatment, you can enjoy lash extensions without fear of weakening your natural strands, so it’s important that you visit a reputable salon. At BROWHAUS, we use top quality lashes and a gentle adhesive coupled with highly skilled lash therapists, who undergo intensive training for 4 to 8 weeks at the highly reputable BROWHAUS Training School in Singapore.

Lashes do fall out as part of its natural growth cycle. If you tug, rub or attempt to remove your lash extensions yourself, you can run the risk of breaking the ends of your natural lashes. Always have your lash extensions removed by BROWHAUS therapists.

-*-

On average, Lash In Bloom can last between 3 and 6 weeks depending on the growth rate of your natural eyelashes. The duration differs with every individual. We advise reapplying a new set of eyelash extensions after 4 to 6 weeks. We also advise that you let their lashes rest for a couple of weeks in between the removal and application of a new set of lashes.

After care.
You do not have to apply eye make-up but if you wish to, only apply water-based mascara for easy removal. Do avoid using oil-based make-up removers directly on the lashes as oil may dissolve or weaken the adhesive bond. Use lint-free cotton/cotton pads to remove make-up from around your eye area. Do not use cotton balls or swabs directly on your lashes as the fibers may get entangled with your lash extensions

The process is pretty much comfortable and quick, prepare yourself for a nap. Eat around 1-2 hours before, go to the toilet and empty your bladder or any other restroom business, drink properly, wear comfortable shoes and clothes, then, just sleep heehee. Waking up to a new set of gorgeous lashes.

-*-

I know since that's what I do, it was enjoyable. And it is better to just sleep then keep on waiting on full alert, aside from that the therapist could have done a better job is you stay till, she can concentrate and work faster. 2 hours is the time that was stated in the website, but varies from people to people, still Browhaus have a good standard in timing and try to be precise.

I don't really have long and bushy lashes, so the length suggested was number 11 and I choose the C curl, so it was still natural. You can always prefer a more natural look or dramatic. The curl can goes all the way to D and the length to 13.

-*-

No redness, no irritation, no discomfort, I love my eyes, they appear more alive now heehee. And of course, there's no trip to Browhaus without getting my eyebrow fixed, it's like the best place for my brows. This time I choose the threading, it was faster and gets all those tiny new born and soft hair lifted up.

For a cry baby like me whose tears went down the minute a tweezers plucked a hair, threading is the best option. It was super fast, like perhaps 5-7 minutes and I have my eyebrows ready for the day.

-*-




Just look at the difference it made. The eyebrows and eyelashes are definitely the key to an uplifting look. My eyes appear more alive, expressive, and definitely prettier heehee. I can understand why so many people pays a lot of attention to their eyes and eyebrow since it made a lot of differences in one's look.

We are still us, just appear better. Like enhancing oneself. I even feel more confident with my trimmed brows and blooming lashes. Thank you so much Browhaus Jakarta.

-*-

It is recommended not to let the freshly made lashes meet the water for the first 24 hours. Always gently brush the lashes using a lash brush to maintain the shape. Keep them clean by avoid using heavy eye makeup and never tug, rub, nor pull them. Hygiene is always best to be kept for the overall health, keep your hands clean before touching the area.

One tips from me, do use water based cleanser for the eyes, like micellar water. Use damped cotton bud (after lightly dipped) in micellar water, to clean sensitive areas.

The glue is pretty strong, I will keep everyone updated on my instagram account @Carnellin whether the lashes last for 3-4 weeks or not or maybe more.

-*-

See you there!!!

BYS Cosmetic Indonesia

Hello lovelies,

thanks to Clozette Indonesia I was invited to BYS Cosmetic event at their store in Central Park Mall. You may see the fun we had at @ClozetteID (instagram).

BYS Cosmetic came from Australia and famous for their Eye Palette Festive that can make so many different look. On the event, I can clearly see why :)

-*-

The are a lot of interesting products that catches my eyes, and I'm so intrigue to try them. The thing about cosmetic is that how the color could stay true and 'stick' on our skin. You must rememvber how frustrating it is to use a makeup, like perhaps blush on or eyeshadow and when you apply it on your face, the color like doesn't want to come out no matter how many layers you've put.

So doesn't matter about the price tag or how other raves about it, you want that convenience for yourselves and prove it. 

-*-

After a short introduction from BYS Cosmetic Indonesia brand manager and a quick makeup demo.

-*-

Where the artist share a very easy yet festive look focusing on the eyes and lips.

-*-

Below is the result.

All the bloggers are going here and there trying the products, we do swatches, and some even apply the lippies directly on their lips to see the finishing and experience the setting time.

-*-

We are given plenty of opportunity to try and I've managed to ask the prices, they are starting below 100k and the palette itself cost around 300k.

The products that interest me the most is their Palette Festive, the one with the Eye-doring Christmas.

-*-

You might realize it have a similar name to that brand :)

During this occasion, BYS Cosmetic Indonesia also share package deals where you can check them out at Central Park Mall. There's package 1,2 and 3. The discount is up to 100k. BYS Studio also available at Pakuwon Mall Surabaya.

-*-

BYS Cosmetic is a cruelty free cosmetic that get Internationally accredited by PETA.

Soon after, the event is finished and all the bloggers received the following goodies.

-*-

Nude Eyeshadow Palette, Banana Powder, and Auto Brow Pencil (mine happen to be in brown).

-*-

The first thing we'll see is their Banana Powder.

Highlight, set and colour correct with this three-in-one wonder powder! BYS Loose Banana Powders yellow toned, mattifying pigment helps to brighten under eye circles and set areas of the face where you would use to conceal.

The powder is like a loose powder but a bit thicker in terms of ability to cover. And I'm using it for baking where then after blending it helps 'to clean' everything so my skin receive that fresh, flawless look.

-*-

Banana Powder is famous nowadays, it acts like a finishing powder too but have better setting power than the 'normal' loose powder we know. The particle is still considerately fine yet dense.

-*-

This is their eyebrow pencil crayon aka Auto Brow Pencil. Their name could be pencil but as said, it have the texture of crayon, it's rich and thick, do apply by pressing very gently to avoid brows that was too thick.

Brows are the hottest trend right now and yours will look fabulous with these easy to use tools from BYS Cosmetics. Here at BYS we believe beautiful arches accentuate the eyes and frame the face and our BYS Brow range will help you create the perfect brow look. Having the right brow shape and adding fullness can seriously change your entire look.

-*-

The brush is also unique since it was made for the wax-crayon like formula. It's like a rubbery thingy that helps blending the product so the brows looks like bushy stripy hairs and not powdery. So if you are looking for an eyebrow pencil that coated the hair and made your eyebrow appear fuller, thicker and like it was hairs, this is the thing for you. I actually like the finish as it appear like they are my brow not a drawn object.

-*-

This brows also become water resistant too, I have to use an oil-based makeup remover to easily cleans it over. So when I was sweating or drenched in rain, I'll still have brow thanks to Auto Brow Pencil.

If you prefer something darker or lighter, no worries, they come in several different shades.

-*-

Next, it's their Nude Eyeshadow Palette, hooray!!!

BYS NUDE eyeshadow palettes feature an array of 12 expertly chosen matte and metallic eyeshadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators.

In the picture above, I'm using it as a soft and natural as daily makeup, but as seen on their container, they are definitely not made for the nude only, bright and deep colours are available.

-*-

I was surprised on how well they stick on my eyelids without any eye primer. I know most eyeshadow works like a charm after eye primer is applied, but this one doesn't need any. You may apply your eye base but I assure you, the look below, doesn't use any base on the lids.

-*-

The colors are gorgeous and true. Adding a primer would made them even pop or perhaps some soft colors but hey, it was there for a reason.

The mirror is huge like shown in the image above, and there's some basic applicators too.

The container might be a bit tacky but the product works like a charm.

-*-

Thank you so much BYS Cosmetic and Clozette Indonesia, see you again soon!!
