Kate CC Lip Cream

Hello lovelies,

this is a product from Japan, my friend recently went there and gave me some beauty products (hooray!!!) and apparently Kate has a new thing.

We do know CC Cream now, it's been a very famous product, taking that course, Kate launches CC Lip Cream. It's a color corrector for the lips.

-*-

The product looks like a lip balm in terms of appearance and looks like it too.

I love Kate's design, they are always seems to be so sleek, stylish and edgy, black with colorful details. Always far from boring. Their ads also always so beautiful.

-*-

Since I got mine directly from Japan, all the details are in Japanese, hence their official global website is essential. Here are some of the details.

-*-




The product comes in 4 shades and mine is in light pink or known as Pink Trick. 

The product has many function such as:
color corrector, lip gloss, makeup base, moisture enhancer, and even UV Protection.

It can be used as a base for lip color, or as it.

-*-

Very comfortable to be used, not sticky whatsoever, it was very silky and watery too.

It is not oily but very much comfortable and pleasant.

-*-

My lips were dry and chapped when using the product, in an instant, it turns into so moist and plump. I love the healing properties, it made my lips very much comfortable again and so pretty.

-*-

when the lips has become this comfortable and soft again, I can easily use lipstick, or even matte colors without the fear getting flakes or visible dry skin on the lips. The formula is truly perfect as a base or as it is. It's like the perfect lip balm for me that does it all. I toss all my balms, since they are all too balmy and very uncomfortable to be used, like there's this waxy feeling and residue, Kate CC Lip Cream is everything it's not.

The oils are light and watery, the lips feels so slippery and super smooth, no balmy effects whatsoever, no sticky feeling, just comforts all the way from the first application all the way to the ends.

And the light pink color is so adorable, like having a healthy lip color again, so innocent, pure and delicate.

-*-

Definitely a product worth having.

-*-

Love it to the max!

Kate Super Sharp Liner S in BK-1

Hello beauties,

this is a product I got from Kawaii Beauty Japan, a Super Sharp Liner S in BK-1 by Kate.

-*-

Details from http://www.kate-global.net

The brush pen eyeliner for producing super fine lines is now even more advanced: it produces stronger blacks, has higher fade resistance, and applies more smoothly to the skin.

-*-

The product comes in three shades Black (BK-1), slightly grey (BK) and Brown. Mine is in BK-1, the blackest of them all.

-*-

This baby proven to give the super sharp liner in s as in small. Look at those fine lines it made. And the blacks are lovely isn't it?!

-*-

I'm using it on these images, the lines are super duper fine. Perhaps it is more suitable to draw beautiful arts on the lids.

-*-

The product proven to be water resistant and so easy to be used. The tip are gentle and suitable for the sensitive parts around the eyes.

-*-

It is suitable for eyelid and on the waterline. It frames the eyes nicely with this deep black color, highly recommended for being super black.

-*-

Once set, it stays on for hours and hours. It does hold a medium strength waterproof ability.

-*-

It is smudge-proof and quite long lasting too, except when sweating too much. Like when doing heavy exercise.

-*-

Thank you so much Kawaii Beauty Japan for the product.

Kate Lash Extention Mascara BK-1

Hi everybody!!!

A gal always need her mascara fresh and new, well at least every 3 months to keep the eyes healthy and problem free too. So when a friend gave me this mascara, I'm gladly accepting the gift from Japan ^__^

-*-




Kate is a brand from Kanebo, they are known for being chic, trendy and current.

-*-

Here are the details from:

http://www.kate-global.net

-*-

Below is the image of the actual product, the neat packaging is modern and sophisticated at the same time. Trendy!

-*-

The mascara itself is not as creamy as other mascara and doesn't look like a gel either, so it is something in between, where it is light, but still covering, giving the lashes a thin coating that stretches, which gives the lashes a longer looking natural lashes, and feels light as well.

It does add a bit curl, I don't use any eyelash curler for the images below:

-*-

The thin coating film easily break thou', but the rest stays without fail, waterproof and easily clean after use with cleansing oil.

Do I like the product?
Yes, for the light feeling, non-sticky, natural look of a mascara that add length and curl without being to thick or unnatural, stays almost all day long despite the few 'droppings' of the 'fake lashes'. Overall, it is a wonderful product that add lashes in volume as well, so the eyes become more interesting.

Hello lovelies,

Indonesian Beauty Blogger March 2013 is officially started today ^__^

Created a look like a dazzling Marilyn and win prizes from The Balm, a cosmetic brand from San Fransisco which recently landed in Indonesia.

-*-

Some of the products used in this tutorial are courtesy of The Balm and will help me creating a look that hopefully as mesmerizing as Ms. Monroe herself.

Here are the three items, Balms Away, the eye makeup remover, Shady lady, an eye shadow with a whole lotta attitude, and Mary Lou Manizer, a highlighter / luminizer that want to get all the attention she can get.

I'll share Balms Away review on a next post and two makeups here ^__^

-*-

It's gonna be an exciting next post ^__--

-*-

Let's start the step to step guide of me trying to create a glimpse of Marilyn's iconic look.

Start with a bare face.

-*-





Boi-ing, an industrial strength concealer from Benefit to cover large pores, under eye, fine lines and other imperfection.

-*-

Shiseido Lifting Foundation shade I 00, by fingers, dot a few spots on 5 parts and blend away. Covering all the uneven skin tone and creating a base for the skin. Wait for a good 5 minutes before the next step, so the foundation have time to sets in.

-*-

Followed by a compact powder by Estee Lauder.

-*-





I use a foundation brush for CyberWhite EX Extra Brightening Powder Makeup. Make sure the skin is completely dry and the foundation has set before this powder or it will make some blotchy effect.

-*-

Then a Loose Powder from Teint Miracle series from Lancome, a very beautiful light powder that gives the skin a luminous effect with a mild glistening aura.

-*-

On some part Touche Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent is added, then blend with fingers.

-*-

Anna Sui Eyebrow Color Compact is used for my brow in shade 03. Simple, so easy to use and looks natural.

Don't forget to tidy up the brows first.

-*-

I use a base for eyeshadow using Kate eye shadow in PU-1 inspired by this look from Marilyn,

-*-





She looks stunningly beautiful.

-*-





Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner for that cat eye look or at least a winged, but I need something more, the lashes.

-*-

D'Eyeko is used, and just happen to be the only lashes I have that able to create a very sexy cat eyed lashes.

Tips of using D'Eyeko that I get from Lizzie, use from the outer side to the inner, and it works!

-*-





A subtle touch of a Cheeky Glow, for that light blushing touch from Maybelline.

-*-





I need a shadow that really perk up the eyes and increase the effect of the sexy lashes, Shady Lady is here.

-*-





Comes in 10 gorgeous shades that's bold and brave.

-*-




There's some tiny sparkles, I see they have some shades that's not available in other cosmetic brands and unique too.
The selling price is Rp.150.000.

-*-

Same goes with Mary Lou Manizer, which I think a must added collection to any beauty pouch. Rp.280.000.





I love this highlighter as it draw attention right through it and exactly where you want the attention to be. Easily blend and watch out, you may in for a spotlight \^0^/

-*-




Then, it's the lips, I tried making them thin but decided to make it bold and so red and seductive,
Maybelline Red Porcelain, I love this lipstick, like a red leather just landed and rule.

-*-

No Marilyn look would be complete without that famous black dot, right below her left cheek.

-*-

Using the Hyper Sharp Liner again and voila!

I want to go all out with a blonde wig, but try imagining Marilyn in a brunette.

-*-

Using my Philips are a curler, a wave that says, hello, I'm here.

-*-

Get a help from L'Oreal Professionnel Bounce Whip.

-*-

Divide the hair section by section and tongs on! Change my clothes into something with vintage tag label, and I'm ready!

-*-

How do I look?
