Mousse Douceur by Lancome


Hello!

Nothing beats a fresh clean face in the morning to start the day. Here comes Lancome Mousse Douceur, a softening cleansing foam.





Details from the tube:

All skin type, even for sensitive.

This rinse off formula is a smooth and creamy foam. Excellent to softly free skin from impurities. With Rosa Centifolia extract, the soap free, fresh and subtle formula cleanses, soothes and moisturizes. The skin is comfortable, like renewed, supple, and radiant. Gently massage over wet face twice a day in the morning and in the evening, then rinse. Avoid the eye contour area. In case of contact, rinse off immediately.





The cleansing property is mild and wonderful. Feels the freshness yet not the tightness. The skin become soft and supple after the wash too. Not much foaming action but the soap free formula really show the love to my sensitive cheeks. Definitely a keeper. The mild scent also a pleaser (kinda like Nivea-original), no wonder Lancome has millions of fans.

Like mention in the video please use the cleanser after cleaning the makeup (if makeup is used).
Followed by the softening lotion/toner and your skin is ready for serum, moisturizer and so on.





Thank you so much Lancome Indonesia!

Jennifer Lopez My Glow EDT



From the commercial itself it's about Jennifer Lopez being a mom to her first born. Something pure, light and floral. White flowers and warmth. lavender, lotus, freesia, peony, white rose, green leaves, Casablanca lily, sandalwood, musk, heliotrope and precious wood

Below is the video of behind the scene in making the ads.




I've been having this perfume for a while and here's the image in normal light.
.




The bottle is lovely, really like Lovely, the top is pretty but kinda reminds me of a tomb stone. Yes, a bit scary there. The scent itself is light, really light that it's kinda disappears after 1-2 hours. Not because they are really gone, but easily forgettable as it similar to the scent of soap.

I get the idea of a fresh clean scent like you've just a step away from your shower, but the resemblance is really alike that it's not a special perfume anymore. Will I still use it, yes, for daily activities, but not on special occasion.


Moisture White Shiso BB Cream


Hi!

A morning has bring the sun to the throne and we need to protect our self from the bad effect of some parts of the rays. Yes, not all of the rays are bad, just a few. In conjunction of my days with Moisture White Shiso range (Click : HERE), I also use the BB Cream.


 


This multi-action make-up base creates fairer-looking skin in an instant and conceals, soothes and protects. Available in a tube for ease of application.
Full ingredients
Shiso extract - reduces early melanin-making signals even before the hyperpigmentation process and melanin production cycle starts - helping prevent uneven skin tone, brown spots and freckles

Vitamin C - provides anti-oxidant protection helping to reduce the production of melanin

Liquorice - works to limit the effect of melanin synthesis and helps to reduce the variances in skin tone


How to use:

On a cleaned moisturized skin put the cream (mung bean sizes) on 5 spots, forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin. Blend them well and if needed add some more. Use a foundation brush for softer complexion and smoother looking skin.





On my skin, it gives an instant fairer look, radiance, glow, less visible pores, less lines and a bit powdery effect. At first, I was surprised but gradually the tone will adapt to my skin shade and blends well. A bit fairer but still looks natural.







This is my face right after using the BB Cream (indoor). After the creams sets, use a simple loose powder and add some colors to the skin. I don't have to use foundation, two way cake, or compact powder. The BB Cream and loose powder is enough for the whole day.



The collage of me after Moisture White Shiso BB Cream, loose powder, blush on, lippy, and brow color. As mentioned the BB Cream adjusted to my skin tone, giving me even complexion and sun protection. SPF 25/PA+++ is wonderful, suitable for daily use.

So here some conclusion of why I like Moisture White Shiso BB Cream:
Easy to blend and gives natural tone
Flawless skin and protection from the sun all in a go
I can choose moist effect (by skipping loose powder) or matte (by adding loose powder after usage)
Stays all day long
Gives light-medium coverage to the skin, so the look is still natural without being cakey
Contain ingredients just like the rest of Moisture White Shiso which help my skin clears up the spots.

Thank you The Body Shop Indonesia and you for reading my post.

Moisture White Shiso Whitening Treatment Mask


It's mask time!

I've been using Moisture White Shiso from The Body Shop, click HERE , for 3 weeks now and I'm trying the mask as well to boost the effect of clearer complexion.



Give your skin a weekly whitening moisture boost with this pampering treatment, which is proven to moisturise and brighten skin. This luxurious soft cloth mask contains a unique Moisture White? solution, so your skin can feel softer and look clearer with a more even complexion.




This is me before using the mask. Always use a mask on cleaned skin and dry too :) damp is okay but not to wet.




The color of the mask is brown-ish, the texture of the mask is soft and a bit gooey. The quality is definitely there as the paper as soft and smooth. There are cuts in many places for a secure fitting too.



Try to relax when using a mask by lying down, take a quick nap or just listening to the soothing music. As we relax the skin will loosen up and able to absorb the ingredients on the mask better, when we stressed the skin will tighten and kinda 'reject/repels' the goodness outside as the skin will try to remove toxin from the stress within.

And here's my review, please watch it in the video ^__^



Thank you and The Body Shop Indonesia for sponsoring the products.

I will give you all full review after using Moisture White Shiso full range for a whole month. See you later!

Bigger Eyes with Aqua Series by Make Up For Ever


Hello everyone!

Last weekend I'm visiting MUFE (Make Up For Ever) Academy in the 4th floor in Plaza Indonesia building. They welcome me with open arms as I'm going to make a video, a tutorial video on making bigger eyes with Aqua Shadows and liners. Both of the products are awesome and I've shared my reviews regarding the products here: Aqua Shadow & Aqua Liners.




At the door I see these lashes, oohhh I want them all!

Below: Here are some of the selections Aqua Shadows that I think is a must haves. White is definitely a must, followed by nude and pinkish hue, blue and green as complements :)


The Aqua Shadow are waterproof and it is important to blend them well before they set. Below, MUFE will show you how.




And they got Sens's Eyes that will clean all the waterproof away.



Aqua Lips, they are adorable and suitable as a lip liner (perfect to be used with Aqua Rouge). I love them so much ^^ I'll come back soon ans show you more review, tutorials and ideas with the Aqua Lips and Rouges.


Below: The products that will be used for the tutorial, my sister Christina as the model and Ms. Irma from MUFE will help me with the look as I'll be cameraman girl.




Several colors in-cooperate for that bigger eyes. Please see the video and witness the step by step transformation.



Isn't it great?! I was like, seriously?! My sis's have small eyes and when she laugh all her eyes disappears haha! That's why she is the perfect candidate for the look.



The look is easy, soft and without being over the top. And the best part of all is she loves it. She wasn't a big fan of makeup, now she does!



The eye liner also very simple and just a line, all black liners will create smaller eyes instead of bigger.




This is my sister with Ms. Irma, thank you so much Ms. Irma.




Tips from Ms. Irma: Always use brush for better application and blending, never use too much Aqua Shadow, so don't pressed it, use gentle/light pressure only. Build the colors layer by layer and a brush also help correct the errors. Don't wait to long as the silicone will dries up and it has become waterproof and set.

Smokey eyes are beyond black, other colors are great and create different dimension and depth to the eyes. Mixed between light and dark colors will create a 3D effect if used correctly.

Now, Ms. Augustine, the trainer will gives us more tips in creating bigger eyes than ever before ^__^ Bigger than the previous look in a very quick and self-reliant method (a method that any amateur can do)



She is super cool, pretty and love her flawless skin. She is awesome!!!




Above is the video and below you can see my sis after look. She love love love her new look. Ms. Augustine tips are so simple yet only a true make up trainer will know. She always emphasize in doing the makeup by yourself. I wish I have more time with her, until then, let's just be thankful of the time I have heehee.


Then I added some pinkish hue on her cheeks with HD Blush,




Wonderful! We have a wonderful time in MUFE and love to come back here again and again ^0^




Thank you so much Make Up For Ever Indonesia, Ms. Irma and Ms, Augustine for having me and my sister.

Please enjoy the transformation of my sister below:




See you soon and hope this tutorials works for you too!


All the products used are from Make Up For Ever Aqua Series which is proven to be waterproof even to the most cry babies out there (incl, you sis XD)

My New Hair Cut by Shinjuku Premium Salon




Hello girls!

Another makeover by Shinjuku Premium Salon last week.

A makeover not always major changes, it could be a simple look too. With the new promotion from Shinjuku Premium Salon the options are wide open.




Located at Kuningan City mal, 3rd floor, Shinjuku Premium is luxurious. They are the Salon Institute of L'Oreal Professionnel, all exclusive products and training directly from L'Oreal Professionnel.



On special weekends you can also meet the owner Mr. Audid and get a complete makeover that will amaze you.




Check out my before look below. The colors need retouch on the roots and some tidying up too.




And below is my after :)



Tidier and neat. Mr. Heru helps with the retouch and Mr. Yuji cut my hair. Below is the picture of me and Mr. Yuji. This is my first time being colored by Mr. Heru, hmm, I think he really need to be gentler, he pulled my hair several time and it is painful, especially after the hair being colored, the colorant already caused some sensitivity to the scalp, so a rush brush make the pain become worst.

On the other hand, Mr. Yuji is pleasant and exactly what I'm looking for, he is open for consultation and getting that hair cut I need and want. Friendly and handle my hair (and scalp) with care.



He specialized in cutting, down to earth and skilled too ^^ try his Korean style hair cut.





These are my new looks, fresh and lovely.

Thank you Shinjuku Premium Salon.

L'Oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Foundation


Hi all!

I'm currently trying true match super blendable foundation by L'Oreal Paris, unfortunately the tone is in N4, too dark for me, so I'm just going to give it a go on my hand.





New with Hyaluronic Acid. Skin is hydrated all day
New ultra fine pigments for an even more precise match with your skin tone
Outstanding coverage for a flawless natural makeup result. Your skin simply made perfect.
Shake well before use

SPF 17/PA ++
Matches perfectly the skin texture and tone



The liquid is a bit creamy, yet blend nicely on the skin, you can use a foundation brush for perfection, but by fingers alone I can see and feel the differences. After blending it well, wait for a while until the foundation is set before applying another product such as loose powder.

The foundation gives me a bit of water-resistant action, the water droplets will stay on top of the skin, so when using the foundation and got splashed by water or rain, just use a tissue and gently tap on the waters, as long as the surface didn't get swipe, the foundation will still covers the skin well. But don't wait too long ya :)

If you checked on the product details, including from the website, true match come in many different varieties of undertone, shades and result. So you can get that perfect match for your skin, or plays a bit, if you want a tanned look, rosy aura, etc.

Always use it by putting them in 5 spots on your face: foreheads, both cheeks, nose and chin. Then gently distribute them evenly. Don't use too much, to avoid using too much, make sure to put them on bit by bits on those 5 spots. After spreading them well, I see some golden dots, yes, there are sparkles there.



This is my before after picture, N4 gives me a pale nude looking skin, the photo made the after seems fairer, but not in reality, so perhaps there are some ingredients that reflects lights, useful for camera-ready actions.

I didn't feel any hydration, but true match super blendable definitely doesn't dries up my skin, the medium coverage is nice and so does the SPF 17/PA++ for a light protection against the sun ray. Clean them well after use with makeup remover.

Best usage: Find that perfect tone/shade for you and you'll love it more.

Benefits: Super blendable and wide variety of shade/tone.

Thank you L'Oreal Paris Singapore for the product. I wish I can have one in my skin tone ^^
