Hair Gloss at Johnny Andrean Salon

Hi everyone,

it's been a while since my last post, I've been going back and forth trying to find the best doctor around, and after a while I finally found my Consultant Breast Surgeon at Royal Taruma.

Hopefully, everything will go well after this.

There's a lot of things to be done and a whole lotta posts needed to be done and upload, this is one of them. Last week, I get my hair done at Johnny Andrean salon in Mal Puri Indah, it's Hair Gloss.

-*-

Hair Gloss coated the hair in colors but in light way without damaging the hair as much as other hair colorant. So it coats the outer layer only, within around 20 wash the hair should come back to it's before color but with added shine.

-*-

below is my before look, the hair lost it gloss completely, which is common for 2-3 months after hair coloring process.

-*-





The Hair Gloss used is from L'Oreal Professionnel called DIARICHESSE DIALIGHT, the choice of colors is abundant but it depends on the stock at each salon.

-*-




I choose mine in dark purple. This is the third time I colored my hair purple  ^___^

-*-

The thick gel is distributed well on dry hair. It is best to do the process when the hair is not rinse yet for at least 24 hours. Women whose on PMS or during their period is not recommended to do this. Please refrain yourself from unnecessary pain as it is proven to be differ from the normal state.

-*-





Since the staff from the salon wants to help me get a more long lasting and deeper colors, instead of 15 minutes leave on, she leave the Hair Gloss for 45 minutes. I do feel some tingling and a bit discomfort, but it was very mild compared to the usual hair dye.

Soon, the 45 minutes is over and my hair is washed thoroughly.

-*-

That's me and the staff responsible for my hair gloss heehee. The colors coated all the dry ends and dry parts of my hair. Each strands appears glossier, shinier and healthier. Now as a week has passed, every time I wash my hair, purplish bubbles still appears and so does the stain left on my towels as I dry my hair.

-*-

 Do I feel satisfied with this? Yes! I love the gentleness and easiness of the process. The Hair Gloss is suitable for those who wants to change their hair color as often as they want to without damaging their hair as much as permanent hair colors.

Thank you Johnny Andrean Salon.

Healthy Face Movement with Etude House

Hi everybody,

in terms of participating for Etude House Indonesia newest campaign where the theme is Healthy Face Movement, I'm creating 3 video respectively.

The first video is about basic skincare, cleaning the face before skincare is put on and some tips from me as well, here it is:

-*-





After the skincare is setting down, I'm starting with the base using CC Cream and BB Cream Cotton Fit from Etude House Family. It is a very easy and simple look which is suitable for a daily activity. I think anyone can create this kind of makeup look.

-*-




Most of the video or vlog is about creating a look and not teaching us about cleaning it. The 3rd video is about removing makeup. My tips is always start with the toughest makeup like the ones that are waterproof and on delicate areas, such as eyes with many waterproof makeup: mascara and eyeliner. Remover for the eyes can be used for the lips as well, especially for those using waterproof lip colors which has become a trend again recently.

-*-




Thank you, I do hope you enjoy the videos and the tips as well. Never forget that the skin need to breath, so try not to use makeup all the day. Once in a while, let them feel the air ^______^

Etude House BB Cream Cotton Fit and CC Cream

Hi girls,

these two items is from Etude House from their recent campaign.

They are the CC and BB Cream, perhaps most of you already know about the product, on this post I'll share the differences and how to use each item correctly like suggested by Etude House Indonesia.

-*-

Both contain SPF 30/PA++ the packaging is still in the pinkish shade, I do think a lot of Etude products are using pink colors from the palest one to the boldest.

-*-

All details are available at:

http://www.etudehouse.co.id/

(let me warn you, the official website is a bit difficult to navigate)

-*-

I did tried the products during the event and share an after image (below). The skin become lightly covered without being too much, the CC Cream helps correct the skin while the BB Cream Cotton Fit make a powdery finish which perhaps suitable for those with normal-oily skin type.

-*-

(After using CC Cream, BB Cream, Powder, and other makeup such as blush on, eyeshadow, and so on)

Since on the event the schedule and timing given is too tight to take pictures of step by step guide, below you'll see the texture, actual products and effect on the skin before blended in on the skin.

-*-

The BB Cream is in Light Beige and the CC Cream is #2 Glow, but both have the purpose of giving the skin a fairer and brighter effect.

-*-

I really like the pearly glow on the tubes, they look super pretty, I think somehow it does resemblance the effect on the skin. My skin does become glowing in a light luminescence pearls radiant. Not too much, just enough. The BB Cream is almost like any other BB Cream that gives light-medium coverage on the skin with the tone like skin, but the Cotton Fit feels airy, not sticky, suitable for daily use since the SPF 30/PA++ also beneficial for the skin as well.

-*-

The skin colored cream is the BB Cream while the white one is the CC Cream. Clearly seen they are both different products made for different function. The staffs at Etude House Indonesia said it is best for the CC Cream to be used little by little as it immediately increased the skin fair level. My tips: The CC Cream can be used on several areas only to help gently highlight the area such as the cheek bones, nose, chin, and forehead.

-*-

Both have a light creamy texture. Easy to be used and easy to be blended on the skin. Always use them on cleaned moisturized skin, wait 15 minutes after using skincare before using the CC Cream then the BB Cream. Both can be used alone or CC Cream first to boost up the skin fairness and followed by the BB Cream to even out the skin tone.

-*-

These are the images after being spread but not yet blended in. The CC Cream have particles that make the skin looks glowing, some people may like it from the mildest level while some (perhaps during a show) like it more. For daily look I think the BB Cream is enough, for special occasion CC Cream plus BB Cream will help to create a lovely look, soft, mildly dewy, and prettier too.

Top it off with a light loose powder and a very beautiful base is done. It's very simple and easy to use yet give the skin a wonderful effect. Please do trial and error to see the reactions of the CC and BB Cream on each individual skin to get the 'right' effect.

Remember to always clean your makeup when you day is over with a makeup remover, CC and BB Cream are considered makeup.

Anna Sui's Visit to Indonesia (July 2013)

Dear all,

on 19th of July, 2013, I was invited by Anna Sui Indonesia for an event, it was clearly written as 15th Anniversary of Anna Sui in Indonesia and I didn't pay attention on the "meet Anna Sui in person details" until a few days before D day. I become super excited and happy.

-*-



Yes, the Anna Sui is on Asia Tour where she visited countries in Asia such as Hong Kong, Indonesia and last Singapore. It was truly a memorable event for me, I get to meet the person who inspired cosmetics in so many way, it's not just about creating a look but involving her precious moments, memories and a whole lotta passions.

The details on all her products is just beautiful, here some of the items shown on the event:

-*-





Rose Ring Rouge

-*-

-*-

 Lipstick

-*-


And after looking at those super duper pretty objects of affections ^0^ I went to take a picture.

-*-

 The theme for that night is Victorian Boheme, a dress I have before getting married somehow still fit . . . to most of my body haha!

It was a night to remember, I feel like dressing up for a very fancy party, and it was.

Here are the tester of the lipsticks, the rose are colored, unlike the selling products which are in black only.

-*-

They will decorate my dresser beautifully.

The one thing that surely my product highlight of the day is the ring, I fell in love immediately just looking at them.

-*-

It's an accessories and lip carer at once with hints of colors and shade to be choose from.

The next item in the showcase is the perfume,

La Vie de Boheme

-*-

I love the bottle, look at the golden butterfly on it, please do watch the video to understand the product better.

-*-

It was everything she said it will be, sweet, romantic, bohemian, artist, and yes, it does gives me freedom. The scent suits those free spirited girls who understand the world and herself in the most idealistic set of minds.

-*-

After having 'me time' at the showcase, I went inside to have a dinner, followed by the show presented.

-*-

It was exciting and fancy, but still, none beats the present of Anna Sui herself, she is hereeeeeeeeeee!!!

-*-

The first thing she does when touching Indonesia is she shops ^0^ she is like any woman out there (and here), we love to shop doesn't we?! She is so real, the staffs at Anna Sui Indonesia loves her, we all do. Why? She is super busy and super famous, yet she's so humble and kind. The photo taking sessions and tour around Asia must be exhausting for her, yet, she welcomes everyone so warmly and individual. She is the role model worth looking up to ^__^

-*-



Thank you so much Anna Sui Indonesia for having us, us? Yes, media and selected bloggers are there too.

-*-

Here's me and Nisa, showing off our new ring, we love the 400 color which is Anna Red, this is Anna's favorite shade as well.

-*-

And the products contains products not just the Rose Ring, but lipstick and the new perfume as well.

-*-




I can only say: Love love love

-*-

They look beautiful, smells really good (from the perfume to the cosmetics), and the packaging are craftily done to her perfection.

-*-

I will remember this night as one of the best nights of my life.

-*-

And I think for most of us who came that night as well ^___^

-*-

Hope to see you again Anna Sui, thank you for coming to Indonesia, I hope you feel our love for you during your visit here.

Vaseline Healthy White Insta Fair and Healthy White Night Repair

Hello ladies,

Last week, I received an invitation from Vaseline, look at this cutie:

-*-



Inside there's a box of marshmallow and an invitation. The wrapping is really nice but what inside of  is even more, Vaseline has come up with a new product, hence there's the invitation for.

"JAKARTA, 28 JUNI 2013 – Vaseline, sebagai expert dalam skin dan innovation selama 135 tahun, menghadirkan dua inovasi terbarunya Vaseline Healthy White Insta Fair dan Vaseline Healthy White Night Repair. Vaseline Healthy White Insta Fair merupakan terobosan baru dalam kategori body lotion yang dapat mencerahkan kulit mulai dari pemakaian pertama. Sedangkan Vaseline Healthy White Night Repair merupakan lotion  khusus malam pertama dari Vaseline yang juga menggunakan teknologi Bio Active PPAR yang untuk pertama kalinya digunakan dalam formulasi perawatan tubuh. Keduanya merupakan terobosan terkini dari Vaseline dari serangkaian uji klinis laboratorium dan riset konsumen mengenai apa yang dibutuhkan perempuan Indonesia modern."

-*-

"Hilda Kitti, Brand Manager Vaseline, mengungkapkan “Sebagai brand yang mengedepankan riset konsumen dalam setiap inovasinya, kami mendapati fakta bahwa 70% perempuan Indonesia sudah melakukan perawatan kulit melalui body lotion, dan 60% diantaranya mencari body lotion yang dapat mencerahkan kulit. Hal ini juga didukung oleh hasil uji riset kualitatif yang kami lakukan  menunjukkan bahwa tidak hanya sekedar mencerahkan, bahkan banyak pengguna body lotion pencerah kulit menginginkan hasil cepat tanpa perlu menunggu waktu lama,”ungkapnya dalam Vaseline Insta Fair Exclusive Experience di Decanter Wine House, Jumat (28/06/2013)."

-*-

	(An exclusive blogger invitation)

So, after doing extensive research in marketing and also through clinical studies, Vaseline created a product suitable to the customers’ needs. A lotion that was created for daily usage, help the skin to look fairer instantly, safe for long terms usage plus long lasting effect too. And it doesn't stop there, Vaseline provides not just one lotion, but two. One for daytime use while the other one is for night time. Both contain specific ingredients that work best at the time they are used.

-*-

During the event, it was not only representatives from Vaseline who talked with us, but Dr. Eddy Karta did as well. He is a dermatologist, obviously someone who knows skin very well and he is fully supportive of a product that fits women's lifestyle by giving the skin what it needs 24 hours a day.

According to Vivi Tri Andari, Technical Management Manager PT. Unilever Indonesia, Tbk  Vaseline Healthy White Insta Fair is enriched with Skin Micro Reflectors which brightens the skin instantly by reflecting the lights and Protective Triple Sunscreens which protects the skin from UVA and UVB, and it is suitable for daily use.

Night lotion is also introduced since the skin needs a different lotion for night time usage. I think we all know there's day and night cream for the face, unfortunately most of use still use the same lotion for day and night time. A lot of day lotions contain SPF which is actually not needed for night time. Vaseline sees it as an opportunity to educate women on this matter and fills in the needs with a product that promises fairer skin for both day and night time use. Let's take a look at the bottles.

-*-

This is the day lotion, called: Vaseline Healthy White Insta Fair. A pretty pink bottle with that signature Vaseline shape. Stay tuned as I will make a review on this particular item, as well as a video, to show the instant brightening effect.

And of course the night lotion too ^^

-*-


Just like we need richer formula for night cream on the face, our skin also loses hydration when we're asleep as we aren't able to hydrate our self (no one can drink while they’re sleeping, right?), so the body needs to preserve the liquid inside our body for a more “important” business. Usually the skin’s moisture level and plumpness is the one being sacrificed.

Let's read an opinion from a dermatologist and Vaseline:
 

dr. Eddy Karta, SpKK mengungkapkan,“Jika menginginkan kulit cerah yang maksimal, berikan nutrisi kulit melalui lotion karena saat malam hari kulit bekerja keras meregenerasi sel-selnya terutama dimalam hari dimana air didalam kulit menguap 20%, kandungan air pada kulit pun menghilang 25%, dan kondisi ini bisa diperparah jika kita tidur di ruangan ber-AC yang berdampak buruk terhadap kelembaban kulit.” Dermatologist ini pun menambahkan kulit manusia mengandung reseptor PPAR yang berfungsi menjaga kelembaban alami kulit. Untuk mengoptimalkan kinerja PPAR tersebut, maka diperlukan kandungan aktif sebagai pelengkap untuk membantu proses tersebut terutama dalam mencegahnya timbul bintik hitam pada kulit terkait untuk mendapatkan kulit yang cerah. 

“Vaseline Healthy White Night Repair mengandung Bio Active PPAR, yaitu suatu reseptor yang terdapat dalam kulit  yang akan berikatan dengan HSA ( Hydroxy Stearic Acid) yang terdapat didalam Vaseline Healthy White Night Repair, dan bekerja untuk mencerahkan kulit dengan membantu proses regenerasi kulit dan  menjaga kelembaban kulit di malam hari ,” jelas Vivi menambahkan.

-*-

 
Wow! That's a lot of biological terms isn't it?! So the skin at night will do their regenerating process which helps dead skin cells to come off and let new younger-looking skin emerge, which is of course fairer since it's not exposed to the aggressor such as the sun yet. The ingredients inside Vaseline Healthy White Night Repair also keep the skin hydrated and away from irritation that may cause dark spots.
  -*-



So both lotions work hand in hand to create fairer skin, whiten and brighten while we're active under the sun and asleep under the moon.

And now, the one you've been waiting for, the video and images of my before after experience:

-*-

The images shows instant fairer looking skin and here's the link to the video:

2nd Treatment, Hair Cut and Another Nail Gel Polish at Johnny Andrean Salon

Hi everyone!!

This is my second treatment for Johnny Andrean salon, a few days ago I went in again for the treatment. This time it was on the branch at Mal Taman Anggrek, according to the staff, this is one of the busiest branch in Jakarta. When I went there is on weekdays and the stream of customer is just endless. I think their salon is loved by many for the wonderful service, satisfying hair blow style and affordable price.

-*-





Take a look at my nails, it was my 7th day's nail polish, I do wash dishes 5-6 times a day, do laundry, mop the floor and other kind of job at home, they do stick real good. Any other nail polish last 4 days max on me. I'm a hard working mama alright! And this heavy duty Nail Gel Polish fit my needs perfectly.

-*-

The process for the treatment is faster, since the equipment is limited, I didn't experience the steams. And after consulting with the hair stylist, my hair is cut to remove the broken part. Finishing touch? That wonderful blow dry ^__^

I also enjoy the pedicure and now my toes are happily covered with sparkling blue nail gel polish. They really dry and hardened really fast, far more better than ordinary nail polish. My pinky always suffer and the nail polish always ruin before I leave the salon, but with nail gel polish, I can walk comfortably and confidently.

-*-

This is me with the hair stylist responsible for my new hair ^__^ the salon is being renovated right now and soon, we can see the new improved Johnny Andrean Salon in Mal Taman Anggrek. Imagine a spanking new layout and memorable service, the customer will be satisfied even more.

-*-

The place already providing around 30-40 customers at the same time, after the renovation is done, this place can accommodate around 50 I think. The wide variety of products from L'Oreal Professionnel, Matrix and Johnny Andrean will cater most request. Service such as back massage, manicure, pedicure and other beauty related issue will definitely keep adding bonus points as a one stop destination. I see many women are getting a creambath, manicure and pedicure at the same time.

-*-

The constant changing of style is up to date, but don't forget, they do have their original creations and products such as the one for customers to use at home. We can purchase them at the salon, supermarkets or beauty store.

-*-

I've tried some of them from the shampoo, conditioner, mask to hair tonic. I really love the scent, I wish it is a long lasting one ^^

Thank you Johnny Andrean, see you all real soon!!
