L'Oréal Paris Oct 2014 Beauty Box, La Creme True Match BB Cream, UV Perfect Instant White, Fall Repair 3x, and Mat Maqique Compact Powder in Nude Ivory.

Hello lovelies,

it's November now and I haven't even finished reviewing all the products from the October 2014 L'Oreal Paris Beauty Box, now, here they are.

-*-

For those who follows me on instagram (@c13v3rgirl) must have known that I have share these on Oct, actually I think, it's on the days where I received them, so if you want a faster updates on the products, please do follow me on instagram (as I have a giveaway as well right now ^__--)

-*-

The items given are the sunscreen, BB Cream, hair coloring products, and anti hair fall serum (nice!)

-*-

The first thing I've tried is of course the sunscreen. A lovely pearly pink tube with beautiful sunscreen inside. The high SPF is perfect for an all day long outdoor.

The formula is light on the skin, I give it 3/10 in terms of 10 being super sticky and greasy.

-*-

The benefits of using sunscreen are already well known, for maintaining a spotless skin to prevent skin cancer, I guess as long as we're living under the sun, using a sun protection product is a must.

But many avoided using these products for various reasons, most of them are caused by the discomfort, so having a light sunscreen helps ease that problem in particular.

the next thing is cleaning the sunscreen, as good as it does, removing them well is still needed, use a good makeup remover to clean the sunscreen as a prolonged product on the skin when it is not needed may cause other skin problem. So, by handling them correctly, you'll get the benefits without the problem.

-*-

As seen, there's a lot of chemicals inside the products, these are the common ingredients for a sunscreen.

-*-

I'm using it right after a moisturizer.

-*-

No need to use too much, but don't put too little as well, you may use your fingers to apply the product little by little until it covers the whole area, it can be used on the face, neck, ears, and even body.

-*-

As seen on the image, it give the skin a mild glow that reflects the lights.

-*-

To see the benefits of the sunscreen, use it regularly every day and when the skin regenerates monthly, you'll see that the new skin will become fairer and less visible spots.

-*-

Then, I continue by using the BB Cream. Please do take a look on each image and you may click on them for larger view and details.

-*-

I always love BB Cream, it's a simple and all in one solution for a makeup base.

-*-

It hides most imperfections instantly, from large pores, spots to uneven skin tone. The best thing about this BB Cream is that, it is made for yellowish skin tone (hooray!). Other BB Cream with beige tone sometime makes my skin looks greyish.

-*-

The last step, is the compact powder. Not that I need one, but in terms of reviewing and showing them altogether here ^__^

Usually, after the BB Cream, a loose powder is enough, but by adding a compact powder the coverage level is increased.

-*-

Above is the result after using the compact powder and below in the video is the reviews:

-*-

After the video, I immediately try the intensive hair fall product use don my scalp.

-*-

I really like these scalp serums, it doesn't make my roots oily, greasy, sticky, stiff and weird like most of other hair fall treatment on the scalp and they smell super duper good.

-*-

The scalp remain normal, as in like using nothing, so there's no problem whatsoever like sensitivity as well. I really like the process. I haven't figure it out the result as I just start using, but so far, so good.

-*-

About the smell good, it is like fruity juicy freshness. It made my whole head smells really nice.

-*-

Stay tune for my review on the product, as I will keep updating on my instagram @c13v3rgirl.

-*-

Thank you so much L'Oreal Paris Indonesia for all of these wonderful products.

-*-

Psst!! The result of using the sunscreen, BB Cream and Mat Maqique is a mate looking skin all day long without melting, after 5-6 hours a quick touch up using Mat Maqique is enough for another 3-4 hours, really is an all in one products that keep the skin looking ready all the time.

The Body Shop Instablur

Hello lovelies,

recently The Body Shop has launched a cool new product for those who wants to hide imperfections on their skin without the appearance of using makeup.

This is perfect for those who wants a natural finish of that healthier skin look in an instant.

-*-

The product comes in a pretty pink box. It is said "Don't Retouch Me, Instablur me" which means that with a lot of selfies right now, editing become so common, instead of Photoshop the image, use Instablur instead for that on off camera flawless skin.

The face primer is an all in one product with these benefits:

Product description

This all-new face perfector blurs imperfections, giving you flawless photo-perfect skin in an instant! With Community Fair Trade marula oil. 

• Shine Controlling 12h
• Reduces appearance of pores
• Blemish Hiding
• Complexion Unifying
• Makeup Extending
• Enriched with Community Fair Trade Marula Oil

(http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com)

-*-

Gently smooth onto face. Use alone for a mattified make-up free look, or as a perfecting base before make-up.

-*-

The texture of the product is like a condensed glue without all the stickiness, in fact it is smooth and velvety.  I'm using ot on a clean skin, after toner, serum and moisturizer. Wait for the skincare to set, around 15 minutes before applying this product. If I want to use a sun protection product, I use the sunscreen first then Instablur.

-*-

The image above is my skin before with the Instablur are not yet being distributed, below is the after blending in.

The skin looks poreless, softer, smoother, and powdery when touch.

Still, don't use too much or blend too much as it will become noodling, especially if you haven't exfoliate your skin recently.

-*-

Below is the ingredients:

-*-

For Rp.299.000, this item has become an instant hit for beauty enthusiast around the world.

-*-

Below is my before after look using nothing but Instablur.

-*-

Below are my review in the video:

-*-

The finish is quite nice, it tackles most redness, hide fine lines, smoothing the overall skin complexion and even out the skin tone.

Instablur is similar to several primer made in France.

The product is best used with powder makeup afterwards to prevent 'flaking off'.

Thank you so much The Body Shop Indonesia.

Kryolan TV Paint Stick (2W), Contour Pencil (971), Lipstick (LC057) and Blusher Matt (R9)

Hello everyone,

Kryolan has finally set up a base here in Jakarta, Indonesia. After a while being available online only, Kryolan has now open a store at Glow Living Beauty at Plaza Indonesia. If you have been wondering about their products, it is always best to visit the counter and check them out personally. Why? The array of these professional makeup is amazing, if you love makeup, then you gotta see them for yourself.

-*-

These are the four first items that was tried and tested by me. TV Paint Stick (yes, I do find the name to be unique and interesting), Blusher Matt ( a blush on in matte), Lipstick ( no gal will say enough in terms of having many, many, ehm, many lipsticks), and Contour Pencil (a product for eye and lips, hence it comes in many shades as well).

-*-

All details from https://us.kryolan.com

Successfully proven cream make-up in stick form. The special base of TV Paint Stick allows gentle make-up application that provides effective covering at the same time. The Kryolan assortment of more than 250 color nuances for selection is truly extraordinary - which makes this preparation indispensable for stage, film, TV, video work and more.
-*-

My shade is in 2 W. From the brand itself, they carries more than 90 shades (like WOW!). It was a stick foundation comes concealer comes a base perfect for that beautiful looking skin on screen. You do know that when on camera (with those lighting and everything on set or outdoor, not all makeups are compatible).

When I use the TV Paint Stick, my skin appears healthier on videos. And of course, all color makeup used after that becomes more vivid and bold. Like it made everything pops out.

-*-

This is the shade given to me. It's still very much suitable for my skin tone. Below is me using TV Paint Stick on a clean skin.

It covers imperfections like an eraser. Large pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and it made the skin looks better, like it reflects lights all in the correct directions.

-*-



How do I use it?

Focusing on areas need to be covered, like laughing lines, large pores, and major parts of the face (forehead, cheeks, etc), and then blend them in using fingers. The formula is quite creamy on warm skin with this powdery scent. After a simple blending the creaminess reduce by far and turns velvety, soft, and hide almost everything under it.

-*-




I finish it off by using a loose powder, only a sprinkle of loose powder is needed since the product is not sticky, yeay!

Clean them off using a makeup remover.

-*-

Lipstick with a long-proven formulation, including Vitamin E to stimulate the skin’s repair mechanism. Lipstick Classic produces a matt impression and is known for its good durability. ECARF certified.

Continue with the lipstick, a pigmented lipstick with a shade of orange with coral. This product can be used as a blusher too. Dab it little by little on the cheeks and blend it before it sets for that peach looking blush.
-*-



The texture of the lipstick is in between creamy and somewhat like a matte lipstick with a buttery scent. It glows a bit but can easily transform into wet lips by adding lip gloss or matte finish with a simple blot using a tissue, add a bit of loose powder and another layer for a double opaque finish. The lipstick is not waterproof but has a good staying power.

On the image above, I'm using the lipstick on the center, with a brush, I'm adding lipbalm and spread them all over the lips.

-*-

The lipsticks are available in around 70 shades.

Btw, all the shades may varies in different countries.

-*-

Blusher is a creamy pressed powder for dry application. The exceptional formulation enhances a gentle application and produces a pleasantly soft feeling on the skin.
The micronized pigments offer the possibility of applying this preparation not only with fashionable transparency, but also with vivid color emphasis.
-*-

The blush is gorgeous, like a baby pink in color and it is so bold on the skin. Yes, do please use it only on dry skin, since on a damp skin it will be overly visible.

The texture is super soft, even beats a baby powder in terms of softness.

Use a good blusher blush and you can easily brush them gently on the apple of your cheeks (or anywhere you please) for that gentle hint of add more layers for a pink rosy hue.

-*-

Love how bold they can be, right?!

-*-



On the image above, you can see how the base reflects lights all in the right directions, like there's no shadowed area on my face.

-*-

Kryolan Contour Pencil is a soft textured pencil for eye and lip contouring. Its special formulation makes this pencil very durable and provides a strong color intensity. For a softer texture warm the tip of the pencil prior to application.

-*-

I'm using the pencil as an eyeliners, I like it better when it is not warmed as it slowly gives on its color and suitable for those (ehm, me) who are prone to mistakes.

The pencil has a good resistant power when set, but not really in the waterproof and smudgeproof zone, at least not in my waterline.

-*-

Please do watch the video to see more about the products.

Thank you so much Kryolan Indonesia and you for reading the post.

Beauty World Nachu Fuwa (905) from AYou Beauty

Hello everyone!!

As my previous posts, AYou Beauty sent me abundant lashes, and this one is Nachu Fuwa collections. A pretty lashes that makes the eyes looks more kawaii.

-*-

The lashes quite long and flimsy, hence when used it is best to attached the other end before the other. The length of the lashes are quite long, but I don't cut it off and just let them be wide to help create wider eyes.

I don't put them on 45 degree angle (that would make the lashes more visible through frontal look) as I want to make a more formal look (as I'm attending a meeting, not event).

-*-

Below are the products in the packaging and the details. It was definitely cute and kawaii, right?!

-*-

When used and pulled carefully, we can simply use them again and again and again. My tips would be, do get yourself a good quality glue for the lashes as it helps them maintaining the condition of the lashes. Poor quality glue will breaks the lashes faster and sometime it even means only can use them once.

Since the lashes are quite soft and doesn't have that full lashes, the result of using them is still somewhat natural and the feeling is light on the eyes.

-*-

As seen above, we can attach more lashes to the product, a shorter one for that fuller yet still natural look.

-*-




Don't forget to watch the video ya ^__^

Thank you AYou Beauty and you for reading this post.

Me and My Love to Beauty Products

 Hi everybody,

I'm a beauty blogger that loves beauty products, really you say? These more than 1700 posts about beauty products in my blog proves it.

Beauty products is always exciting, fun, and for me it's my getaway from my daily routine or life. So, I always look for that new items on the shelves, or perhaps the products that everybody has been gossiping about. There's always a new one every now and then. Beauty products world has never been a quite one, it's always been the one that make a lot of fuss.

Now, what is this has anything to do with elevenia? Simple! http://www.elevenia.co.id has dedicating a section just for beauty products. Divided into skincare and cosmetics (hooray!).

Btw, have you heard about elevenia? Elevenia is a marketplace for seller and buyer to meet, it is an open one, everybody can sign up for free, I did too. It is very easy and simple, and if you're feeling lazy in filling up forms, you can simply sign in with your Facebook account (neat, huh?!).

I know, I know, the thing with online shopping is always the same, is it safe? I read from many other marketplace that there are a lot of fraught happening nowadays, elevenia with Escrow system help tackles those problems for a guaranteed satisfaction. The buyer will confirm the product purchased so the seller can have their payment. The system also help the seller with delivery tracking, so just in case there's a naughty buyer that claims they haven't received the items but actually did. So, whether you're a seller or buyer, elevenia got it covered for you.

Beside of that safety system and the simplicity elevenia brings, they also carries a wide variety of sections, Fashion, Baby and Kids, Gadgets, Electronic, Food, Services, Home Deco, and heehee, again, my favorite part, the Beauty Department.

As soon as I get into the page, I was overwhelmed with the options.

From common brands we could find in the malls, to those which only available through online shopping, and the prices are friendly too. I've checked some of the items and they are also having a sale right now on several products =^__^=, who could resist a hot sale.

-*-



Those are only a few from more than 20.000 items, yes, twenty thousands items on the cosmetics department. It's amazing how many they are (so those 1700 posts doesn't sound like much, does it?!)

There's so many items I haven't tried and very eager to do so, as I browse and browse and browse, I found this very handy thing called 'wishlist'. I can simply keep on goggling and put the ones I want to check for further readings later on at the wishlist. Just click once (no need to click on OK, the item will already be at your wishlist once the writings become red) and at the end of the 'tour', I can check out all the items on wishlist. 

It made shopping a lot easier and I don't have to keep back and forth to many pages (20.000 products is a lot, so saving time is needed heehee).

Here's a wishlist that I created:

-*-

And I can go on and on and on (it's just the print screen is too tight). I always love Chanel so they are definitely on my wishlist, they are a premium products that deliver beautiful result, their CC Cream is famous for being so smooth and give gorgeous finish to the skin, so they'll have an even tone with radiant healthy look.

And the lipstick by Chanel, oh, who can resist the rose petals like finish.

And Mizzu, famous for being waterproof, yet so budget friendly, Instyler Rotating Iron for that soft hair with a salon like effect without a fuss at the convenience at our own home.

Nano Handy Mist, for the skincare addict in me, we all need a handy tool we can carry everywhere and make our skin healthy and beautiful, moist and well taken care off. Etude House Color My Brow with various of options on brow colors, and Dose of Color Matte Lipstick, since there is no such thing as too many lipstick in this life. 

I don't think I need any excuse in putting them all (and so much more) in my wishlist.

-*-

But, if you do, you can simply read reviews, yes, each product has reviews for them, which made shopping here much cooler, so you can check other people opinion before making a purchase, so you get a clue on the products even more.

Still need more reasons? Open http://www.elevenia.co.id and you'll understand more.

Thank you for reading my post and checking my beauty box. All products are available at elevenia.

Kiehl's Facial Fuel No Shine Hydrator Oil Free 24 Hour Moisture Gel ForMen

Hello everyone,

it's another review for Kiehl's and this time it is for the man's department. It's Facial Fuel No Shine Hydrator Oil Free 24 Hour Moisture Gel.

Details by www.kiehls.com:

Facial Fuel No-Shine Hydrator

A refreshing, lightweight moisture gel that reduces the appearance of oil

• Works 24/7 to control oil, shine and sweat while providing oil-free, healthy hydration for men
• Helps regulate and absorb excess oil while boosting skin’s optimal hydration and natural protective barrier
• Breakthrough formula can absorb up to a thousand times their weight in sweat
• Non-greasy, fast absorbing, and free of all oils, silicones, parabens, fragrances and color

-*-

As always, the one that become my rabbit is my hubby. He opt for this product since he needs moisturizer that feels fresh on the skin and reduce the oil. He doesn't have an overwhelming oily skin, for me I think he is still in the normal to oily zone.

So, he starts using it immediately after receiving, he cleansed and toned. After his regular serum he puts the moisturizer on. At first, he was happy with the gel like texture. It is light and fresh, on the skin, it felt light too. But after a while, he felt a tingling and then itchy sensation. Then, some redness appears, I guess he is either sensitive to one or some ingredients inside the product or it is just too drying for him.

Sad to say, he wont be able to help me with further review on the product, perhaps it is for those who have a oily to very oily skin type only.

Psst!!Will try to find someone with that really oily skin to help me reviewing this particular item ^__^

SILKYGIRL Blockbuster Color Palette, Shimmer Duo Blusher, BIGEye in Dark Brown, Funky Eyelights Pencil in Frosty Silver, and Moisture Balm Lip Color in Lychee

Hi everybody,

it's been a while since my last post, my health has been an issue, but per today I feel much better and really have to catch up with posts. Here it is, the products received from SILKYGIRL during Beauty Blogger Meet Up.

-*-




The products details :
http://www.silkycosmetics.com

And below are the swatches of all the products used on the look above.

-*-

They are so adorable, and beside easy to be used, as usual the products by SILKYGIRL is always friendly to the wallet.

-*-

For me the highlights is definitely on the lipstick, the Moisture Balm Lip Color feels so smooth on the lips and moisturizing as well. I really love the color. Lychee is not a common name for a lipstick heehee but in SILKYGIRL world, it does.

The color glides on easily and leave that perfect mid matte and glowy effect. For me, it is just right.

I'm also liking the blusher for being so soft, so the color is not pigmented, so it gives the cheek that subtle hint of rosy glow (or other shade if you choose different).

I found SILKYGIRL products very suitable for those looking for an everyday makeup, whether you're in college or working, they are fit for that fuss free daily look.

Thank you SILKYGIRL.
