Hello beauty lovers!!

Shu Uemura recently launches several collections, from the Vision of Beauty Volume 2, Haute Street by Uchiide and of course, the 3D Brow Styling.

-*-


Located at SOGO Dept. Store, Mall Kelapa Gading, the event is filled with excitement and enthusiastic bloggers that wants to know more and try the products as well. We are here too see a live makeup demo for a proper introduction of the 3D Brow Styling.

The product itself consist of pencil, liquid/gel form (brow:ink), brow mascara (brow manicure), retractable pencil (brow:Sword), and in powder like form (brow:palette).

Each of them comes in several natural shades and you probably find one that suits yours perfectly.

Alongside with the new products, we also get to see and play with other makeup collection from Shu Uemura. The cleansing oils also stay irresistible and remain as one of the best cleanser on the market.

-*-


Above is the swatch of Brow:ink and below is the Brow:Sword.

-*-


It is similar with hard formula, it's just it came with a retractable container which made life so much easier >.~ I don't even remember how many times I break my brow pencil during sharpening and they do look like a complete waste when I do sharpened them, those little bits of product is carried away along with the shredded woods.

-*-


As I was waiting for all the bloggers to come to the event, I get to play with haute street products. These babies are shared on shu uemura worldwide account on instagram and highly pigmented.

The eyeshadow palettes, the lipsticks, crayon eyeliner, lip and cheeks too.

Kerastase Densifique Serum Jeunesse

Hello lovelies,

one of my favorite hair care brand has just launched their new product within the Densifique collection.

This is Serum Jeunesse.

-*-

A serum that is made in spray bottle for scalp and hair as well. This Hair Youth Activator Serum works with Stemoxydine and Anti-ox cellular.

Details from www.kerastase.com:
The first youth activator serum created to compensate the loss of quality due to greying process.

For who ?
- Men & Women, even colored hair
- Greying hair
- Thinning hair

A true youth serum, Densifique Sérum Jeunesse preserves the hair's capacity for youthfulness and protects the scalp from the oxidative stress that causes melanin loss. The fiber regains its initial youthfulness and glows with supple softness and dazzling volume. In just three months, a new type of density comes to the fore.

-*-

The series itself, comes with a full collection of shampoo, mask, activator, and mousse.

-*-

When used altogether, the series will deliver youthful hair with suppleness, volume, glow and appears like the age haven't touch them yet.

-*-

I've been using Serum Jeunesse for a few days now and I really love the simplicity of the product. It is like a tonic for the hair that comes in a spray container, it made application so much easier and help to reduce the possibility of using too much product (which of course can lead to greasy scalp and limp hair). The key is to use just enough and depends on the hair length itself.

On me, I use around 4-5 sprays by dividing my hairs ehm scalp area into 4-5 sections. Then for the hair, 2 sprays is enough from the outer side to the inner side. The aroma of the serum is like a fresh floral and I can even use it as hair perfume, delightful and comfortable.

The serum on the scalp feels like water, so far I didn't experience any discomfort from using the product. No redness, itchiness, oily feeling nor allergic reaction.

Would I keep on using the formula?
Of course.

Thank you so much Kerastase Indonesia.

Bourjois Aqua Laque

Hello pretties,

seems like the matte era has turn tables again to a silky and soft glossy with lightness felt on the lips. Yes, Bourjois, one of the trendiest brand in the market. Remember how they make liquid matte lipstick that created a buzz, now here they are, with Aqua Laque.

-*-


The product comes in 8 shades from nudes to pinkest of the pink. Below is the swatches from 8 to 1 (left to right).

-*-



I happen to try on number 3 and 2 on my lips during the event.

-*-


It was glossy, slippery, wet, watery and the colors are pretty. It may look sheer but the build-able colors are irresistible and able to create that full color on the lips.

Details from http://www.bourjois.co.uk

ROUGE EDITION AQUA LAQUE

Mirror-like shine, intense colour & 10hr hydration.

The non-sticky formula glides on easily, creating a water-light sensation
on the lips. And what's more, it contains Nymphaea extract to smooth and
moisturise.
Available in 8 mouth-watering shades, from soft nudes to statement brights
THE AQUA FACTOR? Once applied, it doesn't run or feather so no need for a
lip liner!



-*-


Below is me using number 2, Rose on the Rocks, a nude pink lips that made me somehow feel innocently sexy.

-*-


Followed by number 3, Brun Croyable, a color that is a mixture between coral and red.

-*-


They are not waterproof nor stand against wiping, but they do feel so comfortable on the lips thanks to the watery formula, still, even thou they are watery, they don't run nor feather like described on their website. The friendly price also will be loved by many.

-*-




Overall,

A wonderful liquid lipstick that comes in a watery formula but doesn't run easily. The glossiness and non stickiness are one of the highlights of the product and the irresistible wearable colors too. You'll definitely want to collect them all.

Thank you Bourjois for inviting me and do stay tune for more updates from me.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and Lotion


Hello everyone!!!

Clinique is famous for their 3 steps regime, from cleansing toning and moisturizing. It's pretty basic, and then you can add serum before moisturizer and sun protection after moisturizer for a more thorough skincare routine.

-*-




Details from the official website.

http://www.clinique.com
Gel

Dermatologist-developed formula combines oil-free hydration with skin-strengthening ingredients.

Your daily moisturizer helps skin look younger, longer.

Lotion

Dermatologist-developed formula combines all-day hydration with skin-strengthening ingredients to help skin look younger, longer.

Helps strengthen skin's own moisture barrier by 54%, so more moisture stays in.

  • What they both do:
    • Strengthen skin’s moisture barrier.
    • Deliver all-day hydration.
    • Keep skin looking younger, longer.

  • Lotion+
    • Creamy texture
    • Richer formula
    • Best for drier skins or skins in dry climates / high elevations
  • Gel
    • Oil-free hydration.
    • Lightweight formula.
    • Best for oilier skins, or use as your lighter summer moisturizer
-*-






And both are wonderful, the gel is perfect for those with normal to oily skin condition and the lotion is made for the skin in need of more moisture, normal to dry skin or when you're traveling to a cold and dry places, where you need a higher content of oils to seal the moisture in.

For me, I love using them both, the gels on T-Zone area and chin as well, and the lotion on the cheeks where usually drier too.

-*-




The non perfume and scent formula with low allergy causing ingredients, Clinique has sure done it again. The product suits those with sensitive skin.

The moisturizer works better on a clean and toned skin, so make sure to do all the 3 step skin care as well. Imagine using them on dirty skin, the dirt and sebum will blocked the skin. And after cleansing, use a proper toner according to your skin's need so the skin is ready for serum and then moisturizer or skip the serum is you are still under 20 years old, serum usually made for those above 20 years old, do check the condition of your skin to understand more about its needs.

Overall,

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel and Lotion providing a basic moisture for the skin according to it's need, gel is the lighter version and lotion is made for those who owns normal to dry skin condition. Both contains no perfume and tested for allergy. The formula feels comfortable on the skin and instantly gives hydration, so the skin instantly become moist, supple, and of course when the hydration is kept well when used routinely, the skin will stay younger, longer.

Thank you Clinique Indonesia for the lovely products.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet

Hello beauties,

during my recent trip to Penang, I stop by at Changi airport and looking through products to try on. Many magazines has put this one item as top 10 beauty products, yes, it is Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet.

-*-



http://www.chanel.com

Description

Perfection has met its matte. Lightweight and oil-free, the unique formula of this fluid foundation provides a long-lasting, matte-velvet finish. Soft-focus pigments smooth and perfect the skin for a flawless look that lasts all day.

-*-

My skin suffered from a very dry condition no thanks to a sore throat medication. The skin become so tight and they begin to flake off on some areas. The cheeks are so painful when I put on moisturizer so makeup become something that fear me the most. And I'm so happy that I bought Chanel during my last trip and remember that this waterbased foundation is actually comfortable on dry skin condition and I can still wear them all day without feeling tight nor looks greasy.

Chanel was right, it was super comfortable and I look great. Since my skin is dry, I didn't dare to put on any powder afterwards or any other makeup base, so that's it, it's just Perfection Lumiere Velvet, and color makeup, from blush on, brow pencil and lip color.

It is effortless and amazingly good.

-*-



When the weather is humid, it create this radiant glow, and when it is dry or when I stays in the aircon room all day long, it still protect with pure comfort so my skin doesn't dries off.

-*-

The SPF might be small, but I can easily use a sun protection before and this product becomes suitable as a day and night wear.

-*-


The product is beyond lightweight, like lightweight has a new meaning, it's airy, totally weightless and completely define the words 'wearing nothing' on the skin.

-*-


The packaging, details and everything look simple on the exterior and perhaps the product itself too in the sense of giving visible result where the user also feels happy.

-*-


There are enough shades for I think almost all skin type, mine is in 10 Beige, the light shade.

Before usage it is important to shake the square bottle first to make them homogenous.

-*-


It blends like watery moisturizer on the skin. So easy and look below, it becomes one with the skin.


-*-


This is my favorite foundation for sure.

-*-




Thank you Chanel.
