Hydrabio Brume Soothing Refreshing Water

Hello everybody,

this is another post I made for Bioderma Hydrabio Brume, a soothing refreshing water that literally can be used for just about anything in my beauty world.

-*-

In this post, I'm going to share how Hydrabio Brume become my beauty companion during traveling.

Start as a skincare routine, Hydrabio Brume can be used as a refreshing toner and even help cleans the skin from time to time. It add that fresh touch and moist to my dry skin. Before serum or before moisturizer, as a mixture for a mask, to be used with a sleeping mask, daily hydrating agent when using makeup, made foundation more runny, help eyeshadow sticks before setting, help made the overall makeup and complexion even and natural.

-*-




The tiny size made it suitable to the smallest bag and I sprayed it anytime my hair, face and body skin feels taut and dry. During cold climate it helps keeping the skin away from electric stats as well.

It helps moisten up everything it touches even helps the breathing during those really dry air.

-*-

Water itself is essential to our life and enjoying the beauty nutrients provided by Hydrabio Brume in the purest way made the skin rejoice even more.

The particles is tiny and easy to be absorb by the skin. Enjoy the instant and long term benefit in using the product. I personally loving it and so does everyone in the family, the kids and babies are enjoying it too. The spray feels comfortable as it soothe the skin within the first touch. Like how we need a breath of fresh air, my skin need the Soothing Refreshing Water.

Thank you Bioderma Indonesia.

Nature Leaves Mask and HELLO's Night Serum

Hello, hello, helloooooo ^__^

Here's another products from Indonesia that seems to be getting attentions for being natural, no known harmful chemicals inside.

Nature Leaves Mask and HELLO's Night Serum.

-*-

• Semua Produk Nature Leaves hanya tahan maksimal 6 bulan dikarenakan kami tidak memakai alcohol maupun pengawet alami/buatan
• Untuk Cara Pakai Masker : Cuci muka kamu terlebih dahulu menggunakan sabun. Lalu Ambil 1 sdt campurkan 2 sdm air hangat/air biasa/air mawar .Oleskan ke wajah diamkan 15 menit dan bilas tanpa sabun. (tekstur tidak kental tidak terlalu cair)

Above are the details given from the producer.

-*-

The powder will become so green after adding some water and we can simply use it accordingly, watery if you want a mask that doesn't feels too rich nor too much, rather thick if you want a mask that helps controlling the sebum.

And during those special times of the month when the acne erupted, I use the mask only on those dots. It's help the drying and healing process faster.

-*-

You can also apply it on certain areas and not all over the areas, like on the T-zone.

My skin is pretty much dry and I think the mask will benefit those who are oily and acne prone.

-*-

The mask will dries up after around 10-15 minutes and will turns pale again like they are once a powder.

I rinse it off and the skin feels a bit tight. I need to re 'rinse' using micellar water damped in a cotton pad. There's some greens left on the pad.

The mask is good for revitalizing the skin, making them brighter and firm.

It was a clear oil, but I brought mine during a trip in Ciwidey, it was 15 degree Celsius there and look what happen to the oils, it got 'frozen'. I suspect due to the main ingredients of the product, which is coconut oil. So it is unusable? Nope, just put some on the palm and they'll melt instantly due to the warmth.

I use it after cleaning my skin and use a hydrating toner to keep the skin damp. Then using the 'oiled' palm, I press on every side of my skin. It felt good and for dry skin owner like me, it was a bliss. The oils kept my skin from being dehydrated. I top it off with a moisturizer.

The moist effect is felt until the next morning.

During traveling, my skin got dries up easily than normal, but with HELLO's Night Serum, my skin stays moist and happy during the whole trip. 


-*-

Since the skin stays moist, makeup also felt comfortable for long wear. Those with oily skin might not a fan at first, but use it on night time to see the results in the morning.

I can use it on day and night since my skin is dry, and adding a bit to my foundation, add that lovely hint of glow.

Avoskin Antioxidant Spray and Day Cream

Hello lovelies,

here's Avoskin, a new brand that recently made a buzz in Indonesia, for further details, do read their website : https://www.avoskinbeauty.com.

I was given these two products for reviews and has been using them for quite some time, especially Antioxidant Spray.

-*-

The product comes in a spray bottle container and details written on the bottle. It doesn't give me much information on the ingredients and like the website itself, I think they need to explain more than just key ingredients.

-*-

The sprayer doesn't works well, it is not spraying fine particles evenly, more like a spritz and some squirts on certain areas. Perhaps it was just mine that's faulty.

What have I been using it for? As a replacement for toner, daily freshener for the skin on the face and body as well. So far it is pretty comfortable but I can't really boast on the benefit, it's like other regular simple toner. I wish the sprayer works better and gives finer particle, I wish they have a cooling properties, I wish there are positive feedback I can give you but so far after weeks using the products, it was so so.

The positive side is that, it doesn't make my skin allergy, redness, or any discomfort, but no actual benefit as well.

The Day Cream on the other hand, is something else.

-*-

The packaging provide ample details from direction on how to use to what it does in details.

-*-

The product is creamy and felt rich. I do have my doubts since it felt so creamy when touch. I'm not a fan of a creamy formula, especially when they felt rich at the same time. It could be too heavy and the skin won't be able to take it very well.

Nowadays, gel and lighter texture is raved since it is proven that the skin react better since the product is absorbed better without much residue on the skin.

-*-

And I guess, this time, I won't be able to give a positive review, it felt too rich on the skin. I feel uncomfortable using it. Adding Antioxidant Spray just help a bit, the cream will be taken better when the skin is damp, but it's still too rich.

I let my mom use the moisturizer as well and she is complaining about being too sticky. I guess, both me and my mom is not the 'ideal' customer for Avoskin.

-*-

Last but not least, even thou' we're not the reasons why Avoskin made their products, doesn't meant you wont love them, who knows, you just might.

Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hr KissProof Lip Colour

Hello lovelies,

This is my favorite lippies at the moment. Actually, Rimmel has been a brand that launching irresistible lipstick years and years. Since they haven't officially made it to Indonesia, a lot of online shops are bringing them here. Like Orami, that's how I got the product, from Orami.

-*-

http://uk.rimmellondon.com

Up to 16 Hours of lip liberation. Wild without a trace!
• Kiss proof, transfer proof, food proof high impact endless colour.
• No tight feeling or dry lips. Lips feel smooth and moisturized all day long.
• Easy removal with Oil based makeup remover
STEP 1: Apply colour and keep lips apart for 60 seconds until the product sets.
STEP 2: Apply topcoat to lock the colour, moisture and add shine.

-*-



Using the product is like any other duo lippie that comes in step 1 in color and step 2 in coating. Step 1 is my favorite shade called Kiss Me You Fool and the coating aka step 2 is clear and like a lip balm in terms of texture.

On the image above is step 1 alone and below is after using step 2. As seen, after step 2, the lips appear more glossy and the coating made the overall lips feels so comfortable. The lips doesn't feels tight, dry nor greasy/oily. It's just perfect.

-*-

And it stays comfortable from the moment I finished makeup and hours later. The color stays bright and just so pretty. Anytime I want, I can add the coat for a better flexibility, but so far, even without extra coat the lippies stays true and comfy without any crack.

Unlike other waterproof liquid lipstick I've tried, from the application, it doesn't dries up and made my lips shrunk like other brand, it just stays that way, coating without making a fuss. It is pleasant and one of the reason why I love using the product.

-*-

Last but not least, it is definitely kiss proof but not eat proof, hence when eating, especially oily/greasy food they'll act kinda like bad makeup remover, not clean and easily swipe-able but breaking.

Do bring a good lip balm to help clean the lippies, before applying the fresh one.

Kiehl's Ultimate Thickening Shampoo

Hello lovelies,

here's a shampoo from Kiehl's called, Ultimate Thickening Shampoo.

-*-

http://www.kiehls.com

An antioxidant-enriched shampoo that fortifies thinning hair

• Helps reinforce hair strands for a noticeably thicker, healthy-looking appearance and improved scalp coverage
• Fortified with a blend of nurturing Vitamin E and Rosemary, Peppermint, and Cedarwood essential oils

How to Apply:
-Apply shampoo to wet hair and massage uniformly with fingertips over entire scalp
-Rinse
-May use daily - or as often as needed - to help thicken hair and maintain a healthy scalp
-In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water

Key ingredients:

Cedarwood Bark Oil 

Steam distilled from various types of cedarwood, this balsamic oil is known for its gentle astringent properties on oily skin and hair. Soothes and calms skin and is especially beneficial for sensitive skin.

-*-

It has a white milky gel creamy texture that easily lathers on wet hair. Add more and more water when needed and it kept on lathering. The cleansing feeling is fresh and wonderful. Unlike other shampoo that focusing on silicon and making their hair limp, Ultimate Thickening Shampoo made the hair feels like, kinda like the voluminous one but it is focusing on the hair growth, so the ingredients is helping the scalp.

There's a slight tingling feeling but it's really mild and comfortable. It's not as strong as other hair growth shampoo, it's more like a reinforcement.

-*-

Does it helps me? Compared to regular shampoo, of course! But in terms of other products or brand that focusing on hair growth, with their serums, tonics, etc, it's still need more 'action'.

Let's just say it's an option available at Kiehl's for those who want a Kiehl's shampoo that more to the hair growth.

-*-

Am I enjoying the product? Sure do! It has a lovely fresh green scent, wonderful feeling when used and it doesn't made my hair dry.

Thank you Kiehl's Indonesia.

Covermark Silky Loose Powder

Hello lovelies,

these are the babies from Covermark Indonesia. As seen, they are currently focusing on base makeup. They are pretty great and has many options regarding the texture, finish, and we can simply choose one that matches our skin condition.

-*-




I've shared with you some if their lovely products, from the liquid foundation, cream to compact powder and loose powder, now, this is their Silky Loose Powder.

-*-




As most of their products, it comes in a refill and case separately, this is just the refill. I can put it inside any container I have or use it as it is using my favorite brush.

-*-





It has SPF that suffice for the day, texture that feels so fine and yes, silky, and translucent. Hence it really caters all skin tone for that matter.

It made the skin feels soft and looks flawless (when used after primer and liquid foundation), and natural (when used after a light BB Cream).

-*-





It was able to reflects lights beautifully, helps even out my skin tone and of course, help sets the base or as a finishing touch at the end of makeup.

-*-

I love what it does to my skin, it has that effect which made my skin appear so pretty without looking heavy makeup.

-*-



And it is great as a touch up as well, anytime, anywhere to help adding the 'fresh' touch to the skin and help adding the 'time' for makeup.

Simply blot the excess oils, use a face mist and let it sit for a while until the skin finished drinking and fluff a bit of the loose powder and the skin will look like they has just use some makeup, not hours before.

-*-

Silky Loose Powder is a great addition for my makeup collection, outdoor and indoor, anywhere and just about anytime. Use it with a big powder brush or a fluffy powder puff.

Thank you Covermark Indonesia.

Juara Rose & Willowbark Mask and Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask

Hello lovelies,

some time ago I tried some of Juara Masks. As you probably see on their website, they have several different masks for different needs.

-*-

There are three masks here, one that helps oily to acne prone skin, one that add radiance and the other for hydrating boost.

-*-

I've review the one that add moisture and suitable for those with all skin type especially dry skin, here is the link: http://whileyouonearth.blogspot.co.id/2016/05/juara-avocado-banana-moisture-mask.html

-*-

This post is made for the other two and how you can creatively use the masks all in one go, why?

Since facial skin is probably a bit different one part to the other. Me for instance, I have a bit oils on the nose and acne prone on the area below the chin, especially during that 'special' time of the month. On the upper cheeks is really dry and sensitive while the other are in the normal area.

-*-

These masks are made accordingly and you can read the details are everything is written well on their packaging and website.

-*-

Each of these mask comes in a tube (full size) and a box that covered each of these tubes.

The box is simple and most of the details are here.

The tube is user friendly, so far I haven't experience any leakage or some sort.

Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask is thick, rich and like shown in the image below, it has that consistency like a smooth peanut butter.

The smell is of course, tumeric.

As it offer antioxidant and smaller pores, I can use it on almost any areas.

Combining with Avocado Banana Moisture Mask that I used on the upper cheeks only, here's how I use the masks.

-*-

Areas that I want to be less oily, acne prone are covered in Rose & Willowbark Mask. And the rest of the areas that are not covered in other masks, are the one that below the upper cheeks are using Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask. And on some days, I can add the areas of Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask and only use Rose & Willowbark Mask on the nose and chin.

Using the mask are never the same like before, you could have more than one type and use it with mapping of where it needed.

The result is as desired, the t's and chin are calmed, breakouts are far less, the upper cheek are happy with the moisture and the rest are covered in antioxidant. The Tumeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask can be used all over on my skin, but still, those upper cheeks prefers Avocado Banana Moisture Mask.

-*-

Thank you so much Juara Indonesia, get yours online or at counters near you.

My favorite counter is at Glow Plaza Indonesia since they always smells like candlenut, so gooooood.

Vitabiotics

Hello lovelies,

a few days ago I met Vitabiotics team and this time they have a special guess coming from London.

As Vitabiotics is based in UK, most of their research, technologies and activities are from.

-*-

Started by a Prof Dr. Kartar Lalvani who happen to be the founder and chairman of Vitabiotics build a pharmaceutical based company.

Vitabiotics has establish to be UK's no 1 brand for supplement and said to be the first that produce a multivitamin supplements.

• Vitabiotics was founded in 1971 by Dr Kartar Lalvani OBE.
• The first product launched was Oralcer, the patented and licensed mouth ulcer treatment.
• Launched Omega-H3 the first true comprehensive multivitamin. Even today it is still the No.1 selling nutritional supplement in many countries around the world.

-*-

The presentation done by the President Director is coherent, conclusive and spot on.

It portrays the company philosophies, vision and really in sync with their achievements. From winning the Queen's award to lists of charities and funds made with different companies and country. It cares beneath every other establishment that focusing on money or benefit.

-*-

How they choose their brand ambassador, do their ads and commercials are mainly sharing the real results by clinical trials. Genuine and sincere collaborations with the people that we involved. It is a unique company and now they are here in Indonesia.

I asked what are they have in mind for Indonesia? Seems like they already working on something that involves researches around what does Indonesians needs, so they can perhaps be inspired by it and create something that will be a benefit on both hands.

-*-

They key element to their success are based on experiences, observations, to meticulous research to cater the needs of different people. Such as multivitamins for different age group shared during the presentation, on infant, babies, kids, teens, women, men, to pregnancy and lactating moms are all different and they do pay attention on that. How they out the right amount of iron and other vitamins or minerals are not as a simple as 1,2,3 but with responsibilities.

I watched their ads during the event, as I'm a huge ads fans, watching them are a pure fun. They made them easy to understand, interesting and related.  What does the men need, what does the women need, and there's more like supplements for hair, skin and nails called Perfectil, or a immune booster called Immunace, to daily supplements such as vitamin C, D, and so on.

-*-

Innovation took Vitabiotics to many places including 110 countries all around the word. Keep remembering that the key to Vitabiotics is pharmaceutical.

Vitabiotics nutritional products are produced under stricter pharmaceutial controlled conditions than those officially required for food supplements. Quality is controlled in manufacturing facilities that conform to:

Pharmaceutical GMP – (Good Manufacturing Practice). GMP is concerned with both production and quality control. It ensures that pharmaceuticals are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the product specification. Vitabiotics products are classed as food supplements in the UK but are produced to the quality standards of a pharmaceutical.

-*- 

And here's me with the President Director directly from UK, Mr. Rohit laxman Shelatkar, a man who share the complete story of Vitabiotics from A and hopefully this is not the Z nor the end. Vitabiotics got a long way to go and will plan more in the future. And the future for Indonesia is here soon.

-*-

See you again soon!!
