RYO Cheongamo Scalp Deep Cleansing Shampoo

Hello lovelies,

who need a refreshing shampoo? I do, like it was one of my highlight during the day, especially in a hot days. The scalp feel humid and too damp, it's exasperating.

So when hubby bought me this shampoo from his recent travel in China, I was so happy. The product itself is Korean, and seems like, it is pretty famous.

-*-

RYO Cheongamo Scalp Deep Cleansing Shampoo is designed for damaged hair. The light and fresh shampoo can control excess amount of sebum and improve hair-quality to turn your weak hair to be shiny, silky and healthy.

Plant extracts such as ginko extract and green tea particles give scaling deep cleasing effect and remove impurities. The formula is also designed for nourishing hair, so your hair will be cleaned thoroughly without being dehydrated.
Natural ingredients such as chestnut extract relieve stress gently for fresh scalp. The floral scent of shampoo smells fresh and relieving to give you a more relaxing hair-washing experience.

-*-

Apply appropriate amount on wet scalp and hair. Lather bubbles and massage scalp and hair for cleaning. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Green tea extract: clean scalp gently

Bupyeongcho extract: control excess sebum

Lotus extract: relieve stress with floral scent

-*-

The shampoo bottle may look like most product, but look at the details on the pump holder, if we want to travel carrying the goods, simply attached the 'key-like' feature and they'll never accidentally pump by itself.

And since the bottle is not really clear, I can't really see what's inside, here it is on the image below, surprisingly, the gel is clear, I thought it would be green, it is clear with green beads all over.

The smell is like green herbs, so it is definitely refreshing with a herbal twist. Something that feels ancient and heritage-like.

-*-

Since it is a shampoo for the scalp, for sure, the number one effect is felt by the scalp, from the clean feeling to cooling sensation like it's been washed with ice water. I like the pristine and immaculate sense and the chilled too, but I'm having a rather mixed reaction to the scent, something I like it yet something perhaps it's too medicinal.

On the other hand, when the scalp is happy, it is felt a bit drying to my (already) dry and damaged hair, so I tend to use hair mask or heavy conditioner for the hair afterwards to keep them on balance. The scalp is super cleaned and the hair is soft and moisturized.

-*-

Overall,

a very good shampoo that lathers really well too, detoxing the scalp and hair for a deep cleansing experience. With a green herbal scent the shampoo the experience it complete.

Guerlain KissKiss From Paris Lip Contouring Palette

Hello lovelies,

how's your Christmas holiday? I hope it went on beautifully, with peace and merriness with the laugh and joy. Families and friends sharing moments together in harmony. The season reminds us how we love spending time together and put our differences aside. I wish you all had and still have that memories together.

And here's something that I still had from Guerlain holiday box (woohoo), it's Guerlain KissKiss From Paris Lip Contouring Palette.

-*-



One palette that contain several colors in one for many looks and several finish too.

The box is in black and there's details written on it.

-*-




https://www.guerlain.com

The lip contouring palette KissKiss from Paris is composed of a primer and three shades to draw ultra-sophisticated lips. A palette for all the kisses “from Paris”, from the softest to the most passionate.. The three shades draw the contour of the lips and create a color gradation for a pumped-up look and an irresistible mouth! This palette is available in two harmonies: for a romantic or a passionate look. The two applicators are used for each step of the make-up to offer glamorous and deliciously attractive lips!

Its subtle vanilla-violet fragrance delicately intertwines with the sparkling scent of berries.

-*-



The hyaluronic acid spheres aim to pump the lips.
The mango butter hydrates the lips to provide them a velvety texture.
The commiphora myrrha oil smooths the lips' surface.

1. Apply the base to smooth the lips.
2. Draw delicately the lips’ contour with the darkest shade.
3. Apply the major shade on the entire mouth.
4. Put the lightest shade in the center of the lips.

Little tip: For a matte finish, apply the colour with the foam brush.

-*-



Based on their official website, there's only 1 shade, 001 Passionate Kiss.

And for me, they are just right, not just in terms of shade, base and finish, but function and the ability to smoothen up my (seems to be) always drying lips.

-*-



Above is the ingredients and below is pictures of me using the palette for several looks.

-*-

Imagine having to travel yet doesn't seems to eager to carry so many lippies, this could be the one for you. It happens to me a lot of times when I did bring like 6 to seven colors with me and in the end I only use like 1-2. Since I prefer comfort and everyday colors, yet in some nights I do like to go out and wear vivid ones. But the one most important part is the feeling of using the lippies, I need something that covering, smoothen the surface, with convenience, like this palette for sure. I never have to use a balm before or another base, it's all in one.

-*-

Bright red, bright slightly orange lips, to beige, and deep red and when mixed in between.

-*-

One irresistible fact too, is about the unique applicator, brush and sponge. Still, I can still have my fingers for a demi matte finish, brush for more gloss, and sponge for velvety look. It's so good, right?

Either way, the product is not just versatile but ultimately cozy on the lips. It stays with me during cold or hot weather, dry and humid climate. It always feels pleasant.

-*-

Notice the gradation lips above? By using the brush and gently dab them with the sponge for blending.

-*-

On the image above, I'm using the base, it covers lips imperfection and uneven tone, I can also use it to blend colors.

-*-

The lips will appear fuller, cleaner and definitely polished.

-*-

The color is pretty long lasting (each and every one of them), and the pleasant feeling of a soft lips last too, I feel like I just need to touch up the colors every few hours without balms or other product to ease the lips from the dryness since hyaluronic acid, mango butter and the oils inside seals my lips in moisture.

Thank you so much Guerlain Indonesia, your product makes me look so pretty.

Canada 150th and A Beautiful Planet

Hello lovelies,

invited by Change.org, a world platform for change (for the better) and in the celebration of Canada 150th Anniversary.

150th anniversary of Canada. 2017 marks a significant moment in the History of Canada. 150 years ago, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – united to create the Canadian Confederation, called the Dominion of Canada. ... Memorable events will be held throughout the year in Canada and throughout the world.

-*-

The event was held on the 20th of December 2017, and I was pretty happy with the whole event, there are some delays in the starting but in the end, watching the movie, it is worth the wait. What is this movie I mentioned about? It's a movie about our planet, earth, "A Beautiful Planet".

After a short greeting, introduction and Q&A session from Canada Embassy representative like the Ambassador himself (do check out my instagram account @Carnellin), the movie start at around 7.30 and finished around 8.30 with the wraps and Q and A's again for after the movie.

-*-

The theater is filled with medias and guests invited by Change.org and Canada's Embassy in Jakarta. And without further ado, the movie, "A Beautiful Planet" is played.

-*-

Presented in awe-inspiring IMAX® and IMAX® 3D, “A Beautiful Planet,” narrated by 
ACADEMY AWARD® Winner, Jennifer Lawrence, gives moviegoers a never-before-seen

glimpse of Earth from space and provides an increased understanding of our planet and

galaxy. Made in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

(NASA), the film features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet — and the effects

humanity has had on it over time — captured by the astronauts aboard the International Space

Station (ISS), a research lab, training facility and observatory, built in orbit by 16 countries

and powered by the sun.

From space, Earth blazes at night with the electric intensity of human expansion — a

direct visualization of our changing world. As startling representations of such change, the

deforestation in places like Madagascar and the Amazon, the nighttime scene of fracking fires

in the Gulf of Mexico, and the glacial melting in Greenland are all visible from the ISS. But it

is within our power to protect the planet. As we continue to explore and gain knowledge of

our galaxy, we also develop a deeper connection to the place we all call home.

“A Beautiful Planet” presents a breathtaking view of Earth with footage conceived, in

part, and shot by the astronauts aboard the ISS themselves; and through advanced computer.

-*-

I'm sorry if these images is like blurred but it is actually a 3D movie, hence a 3D glasses is needed to see these pictures. I also put them on my instastory (many of the clips) which I find to be astonishing. I felt so small, like really, really small, like my presence as a being is, well, rather insignificant. Not to sound so depressed, but we are like so tiny, and we feel like our problems and our life was huge, God was probably like, no you're not. So instead of being too focused on life drama, let's take a big breath and see the universe, how great and big it is, yet everything will fall on its place. Just do our best, make the positive efforts and go with the flow.

-*-

We have a beautiful planet to live in, enjoy and be very happy, as long as we keep in mind to not be greedy, be kind and remember to keep things as needed. The thing about greed is that it corrupt, it's just the way it is. We tend to be greedy instead of living our rights, the industry nowadays told us that. Being irresponsible and exploit the land more than we can give back is destroying our future.

-*-

The earth shows their aging, through the raising heat. The needs for energy and our consumption is beyond the supply, we need new reliable energy with no or less radiation. Safe, plentiful and clean.

The image below is earth is the view of some cities in the world during night time. The lights are mesmerizing yet in the same time reminds me of how big the energy being used also.

-*-

There are some dark places too like in North Korea, it does looks sad compared to the bright South Korea.

And about the energy, it's sun, Canada and many leading countries has started to use more solar energy for a better world ahead. Did we still have time? We hope so. By stop doing what's wrong and listen to the climate change.

-*-

These are the view of the sun, up close. Imagine the immense heat and energy.

-*-

Below, we see the magnet and those reflections of lights shown how our earth protects us from radiation. This planet is livable because of that, other planet are suffering the radiation, coldness and dryness hence no living being is possible. Only the earth that have all the right element, from temperature, water, protection from radiation and so on. So it is not a coincidence we can all live here, everything has meanings and purpose.

So here we are, living our life, remembering, that we all have meanings and purpose.

-*-

Looking at the huge universe, looking at our life, looking at how fragile we are if suddenly something happen, either a star falls on the earth or perhaps the earth looses its balance. So we all needed each other, we need to took care each other, not just for us, but for the future too.

I'm looking at some of the newsletter given from the Canada Embassy, seems like they put so many efforts in the environment and as helping hand for humanitarian act. Hopefully, Canada continue as a country that encourage loving our planet with true, living way of life.

Do watch a clip of the movie at this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jbj302_mOeU

-*-

Thank you so much Change.Org for having me during the event, this is one of the most popular platform to make petition, right now there's a lot of petition going on where you could make a change, bring impact, and perhaps like that one girl said, 'When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.' Malala Yousafzai.

-*-

And for Canada, Happy 150th Anniversary. Hope to someday visit this red maple leaf country. For sure, I want to see Quebec, where they shoot Goblin :D

Thank you everyone for reading this post, see you again soon.

MAC Snow Ball

Hello lovelies,

as usual, it's the season where all beauty products are racing to have the most 'it' collection for the gift and present or something for ourselves. From a collectibles to special edition or shades hard to resist, we do tend to splurge a little at the end of the year and with so many parties going on, we love to bling it up a notch.

-*-

The package just arrived in Indonesia, and with the clutches too, each come with their own goodies. From lippies, sets of liquids, lipstick and pencil, to trios and one which I think the most interesting of them all (if they ever competing) is their Pale Gold Shimmer, they are a MUST.

-*-

A face kit featuring Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Whisper of Gilt (Pale gold shimmer) and exclusive rose gold-handled 140 Synthetic Full Fan Brush.
The particle are super soft and the micro fine dust of sparkles made us glow in radiance. It's so beautiful. Somehow made you glisten, especially with the lights, they reflecting it like you have a flawlessly golden pearls glow.

-*-

The set comes with a suitable blush for the occasion. The pair works best together, the soft brush softly distribute the powders, holds them well and help blends it into this lovely shine. The idea is to flaunt your face.

-*-

We have plenty of time during the event, the beautiful young model is ready, the products are too, there's many places and spots to took pictures.


-*-

Aside from that, wine, champagne and desserts are shared among the guests. Noticed my giant earring ball? It's featured in their website too for Snow Ball campaign.

Guerlain Kiss Kiss Matte

Hello lovelies,

I guess no matter how liquid lippies made the headlines nowadays, lipstick in it's original form will always exist and be loved. They are convenient, comes in many different formula too, from firm to buttery, many different finish from glossy, demi, matte to variants like powdery and velvety. Their ingredients could be differ too, from wax, balm, to gently hydrating.

-*-

One of the most highlighted products in Guerlain Makeup 2017 collection is KissKiss Matte and I happen to have two of them here.

-*-

Guerlain imagines KissKiss Matte, a hydrating and plumping matte lipstick, intense like a lipstick and comfortable like a balm! The subtle spice extract it contains gives the impression of voluminous lips while the precious oils and the hyaluronic acid smooth and hydrate them. KissKiss Matte offers 9 captivating shades for all special occasions. The iconic packaging is adorned with a golden matte veil.

Its subtle vanilla-violet fragrance delicately intertwines with the sparkling scent of berries.

1. Imperceptible spice extract giving the illusion of voluminous lips.

2. Precious oils to nourish, smooth and hydrate the lips.

3. The new generation of hyaluronic acid brings volume and curve to the lips.

KissKiss Matte routine :

1. Apply Liplift primer before lipstick and slightly beyond the lip contour, then blend in with the fingertips.

2. Apply KissKiss Matte directly to the lips for a matte finish and hydrated lips all day long.

-*-

9 shades from plum, red, nudes, pink, to orange. They are gorgeous. From the packaging to the container, look at that golden luxurious color. Like we'll be having a great time with it.

And on each of the lipstick, there's the engrave word of KissKiss.

-*-

The shape, the mold, the colors and the finish of each product looks so good. Like it's so merry and festive, perfect for this season.

The container holds the product well and did you see the tiny dot on each of the lippies right in the mid part? That's the small detail they put to help assuring a closed lid, so there's there subtle click on closing it properly. So the lippies inside stays safe and secure. Do this every time, we wont want to ruin a good thing.

-*-

Without having the swatches, since these babies are too precious, let's see how they are on my lips. This is, for sure, Spicy Burgundy (image below).

The formula glide super smoothly on my lips. The feel so good and look so good on the lips. Smells beautiful yet never overwhelming, the color is so pigmented and rich but the feeling is still light. There's a hydrating sensation but not oily nor greasy, so it's just right in coating the lips, making them appear so lusciously healthy, plump and ready to take the day.

-*-

The redness speaks for itself, it was bright, daring, brave, seductive and strong at the same time. Perfect for anyone with a personality to match.

The next one is Caliente Beige (below).

Caliente means hot, as in hot beige, so even thou' it's leaning to nude, it's not an ordinary nude. According to Guerlain, every woman have their own story with their lipstick, so do I. I remember my first lipstick, I remember using special lipstick for a special date, I remember a lipstick could be empowering and helping me gets attention, and many more. Each lipstick does brings memories on their own. It's personal and something that I think worth having.

KissKiss Matte came to me during my time of difficulties, like perhaps many household have it's ups and down, seeing these babies somehow cheer me up and I don't know, I still believe where there's good things in life, things could get better and there are still hope.

-*-

Thank you so much Guerlain Indonesia for these beautiful irresistible lipstick. Made with so much care and it reflects on the product. The golden vessel, the most interesting shades in the industry, the feeling when using to the finishing and long lasting effects with the comforts hard to beat, they are all there.
