Too Faced Tutti Frutti Pink Lemonade Frosted Fruits Highlighter Stick

Hello lovelies,

Too Faced is back with their collection that made us cringe... in pure happiness haha, just looking at their stuffs somehow made me smile from ear to ear, either it is because they come in colorful variants or the smell itself. Yes, I can easily sniff them from the tester section in Douglas at Utrecht. There's no way I'm going out without getting some on my hands.

Here's a bit of details from Too Faced official website:

Our Inspiration Tutti Frutti is the playful, modern collection inspired by the luscious, sparkling colors of real fruit. It’s impossible to not be the life of the party with these pops of color infused with yummy scents and party-ready sparkle! Whether you’re looking for bad-ass juicy color when you’re feeling oh-so-sexy, or fresh, fun sparkle that keep you looking sweet, this collection turns any moment into a celebration!

This multi-use cream-to-powder Tutti Frutti highlighting stick provides one-swipe, blendable sparkling payoff for face and eyes.

Details

• Cream-to-powder formula
• Multi-use for face and eyes
• One-swipe payoff for instant color, no tugging or pulling needed
• Layer for a beautiful, buildable glow
• Smells like pink lemonade and fresh strawberries

How it works

• Swipe onto skin where highlight is desired (eyes, face, lips, body) then press in to soften any edges.
• Use fingers or small flat synthetic brush to press onto skin to build and blend glow and as to not disturb makeup coverage underneath
• Mix both colors for a more dimensional glow
• Strawberry Sparkle can use as a blush for light to medium skintones
• Layer powder shadows or blushes on top of stick highlighter

-*-

In this occasion I'm getting their Frosted Fruits in Pink Lemonade. I know I have too many makeups and highlights but still, this one smells so surreal-ly good haha! Like their chocolate and peach departments, oh, who can forget how delicious their chocolate bar is and how fresh the peach in those lovely orange-coral hue, like the world is took by storm. Many of their items also sold outs and gets out of hands like their famous Born This Way foundation. It's banana.... wait, they also have a banana powder smells exactly like ripe banana haha! It's a fruit vendor alright!

Now, back to the Frosted Fruit Highlighter Stick, I bought one since I think it's so good, well, most of their stuffs like eye-shadow palette also good, but thanks to the limited space on luggage, I bought this one and a mascara, yes, you definitely know what it is.

Since I don't have any highlighter stick and it is so different that the liquid, or the powder, like totally different (keep trying to make some sort of legit excuse in purchasing the item), I got the Pink Lemonade.

-*-

The packaging looks stylish, pretty and doesn't look and doesn't feel cheap. It goes back and forth easily. Upon opening the lid, the aromatic Pink Lemonade is just pure awesome, it's mildly sweet with so much freshness in between. The color is gorgeous, I love how pearly and golden it is with that luminescence ambiance. The cream is luscious and feels ultra smooth on the skin, and as suspected, the first ingredient is dimethicone as in silicone. If you happen to be sensitive with it, do avoid using the product.

Now, for the rest of us, do enjoy using it and don't forget to clean it properly with makeup remover as sometime silicone can cause breakout when left on the skin and blocked the pores.

So yes, when handle with care, you can get that lovely multi-colored glow that you've (ehm I'm) been looking for.

-*-

I'm applying it on my cheeks, I'm smiling since the Pink Lemonade aroma puts my mood to the top. Look at that watery effects like my skin is so moist and supple. It's the effect that most people are looking in a glass skin effect without any of the sticky and uncomfortable feelings such as itchy, oily and greasy. So when I'm using it, the Highlighter Stick is pure comfort. I can use it on my wet makeup, or dry, it doesn't matter, they don't destroy, ruin, or even faintly move the makeup under it. I can use it on my body too.

The Highlighter Stick is multi purpose, as I can use it for the whole face as well as a glowing primer. It somehow create that 'glow-from-within" aura.

-*-

Does the product worth the 30$ price tag? Hmm, not really, haha! I think it's more like a 20 dollar product, oops, sorry. Like it was rather pricey. I do like the whole Pink Lemonade extravaganza from the aroma, sensation when using the product, the smooth creamy feeling, the glow to even the packaging, but it does still feel too expensive. Aside from decorative makeup, it doesn't give the skin any skincare benefit, so that's why I find it over the top.

-*-

Still, I bought it..guilty as charged. So, in the end, I can't really say it's recommended or not, since I'm still torn in between. Will I buy another Too Faced cosmetics? Definitely yes!

Catrice Arctic Glow Highlighting Powder

Hello lovelies,

this is a product from Catrice that will make Elsa look with awe, like this is the total 'Frozen' delight, the bluish white with a whole lotta attitude. I also own another highlighting product from Catrice cosmetics and I think they do own the highlighting world with their quirkiness in having tons of shades of highlights in very affordable prices.

-*-



About the product:

• Highlighting powder
• Baked, soft texture
• Soft violet shade
• Vegan

Frozen Crystals. The iridescent highlighting powder is a must-have for the trendy cool Glow Look. The baked, soft texture with white, silver and soft violet colour pigments is ideal for strobing fans with cooler skin tones.  If you love the High Glow Mineral Highlighting Powder, the Arctic Glow Highlighting Powder is the perfect counterpart! 

Beauty Tip

A white-silver highlighter is the ideal partner for strobing fans with a cool, lighter skin type. The iridescent ice tone of the Arctic Glow Highlighting Powder underlines delicate porcelain complexions. The skin looks radiant and fresh. The soft texture can be applied with the fingers or a suitable brush and blends easily. The highlighting powder is perfect for the current strobing trend, which uses highlighter to emphasize the natural light points of the face.

-*-



I can easily create a glass skin look using the powder, adding their creamy highlights before the powder also help creating that depth, like a 3D composition and my cheeks glows like never before. Imagine this look inside a night club haha! Like I'm a disco ball. The powder is dry and like it absorb sebum, so the skin feels powdery and velvety but the glow shines like it was so slippery, kinda funny and contradict at the same time but it works!

Like the mixture between amazing result with pure comfort, like I'm applying oils onto my skin but without the oily feeling. And the highlighting effects last.

-*-



The powder can be used all over the face and body, but I think the shade itself is more like for the face, except when you're going on a cosplay as Elsa.

Still, it's still fun creating an Ice Queen look, or anything that related to the freezing cold reality.

Lakme Moon-Lit Highlighter

Hello lovelies,

Lakme Moon-Lit Highlighter is here, this is a highlighter and bronzer in one for those who want their look still appear natural and never overwhelming.

The product comes in a half and half circle container. Perfect for on the go.

• Memberi efek kilau pada wajah dengan hasil akhir yang flawless
• Cocok untuk strobing yang sedang menjadi tren makeup
• Mengandung fine velvet pearls yang membuat kulit tampak glowing
• Dapat digunakan untuk highlight dan contour

-*-

That's the swatch, they look so gorgeous right?! Like the glow is very pretty and perfect for either day or night. I can use the bright ones on areas I want to highlight and brown one for bronzing, or people nowadays know it as contour. The powder is soft and smooth on the skin, easily applied and doesn't chalk on. It spread on the skin really well no matter what kind of powder brush I use. Simply applied with smaller brush for areas such as nose bridge or the inner corner of the eyes and wider brush for cheeks.

-*-

For me, the best thing about Moon-Lit Highlighter is how they play with light. It's not that kind of greasy glow or something that made people look in a irk way but it's just a pretty subtle gorgeous glow and it helps shape the feature, which for me, clearly it's the bronzer.

You do know what people say, right? Those with dark skin focus on highlighting while those with fair skin can focus on contouring.

-*-

Thank you so much Lakme Indonesia, see you again soon.

I think the packaging has said it all, it have the exact same tone as it is and look at the two finger swatch down here, the highlight can be as bold as I want it too or as seen on my images in this post (all the look are using Riche Glow) some are natural stroke (like 1-2 brushes away) while some are using firmer brush for a stronger feeling.

It's up to you and product itself is pretty self explanatory, the fine particles and build-able formula is also benefits of using Riche Glow. And for sure, it can be used on the body too, imagine a perfectly blossomed decollete.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Total Cover Concealing and Contour Kit

Hello lovelies,

continuing with the hampers received from Sociolla and L'Oreal Paris, these three babies are among them. On this post, I'll share a review using the palette for concealing and contouring.

-*-



With 4 shades and 1 sponge, the kit is suitable for a fair to medium skin tone. The formula is creamy in texture and easy to be blended. I can use them alone for daily look and then a loose powder to sets in, it is perfect as a no makeup makeup look, or as an additional for my full coverage after a foundation.

-*-




You can use the sponge given, brush, or even a finger. I use a small corrector brush and easily spread them on my face according to a dimension or features that I want. The cheeks are preferred to be rounder, the nose is thinner and longer, the forehead is smaller, the cheek bones are more accentuated, and the chin is defined.

-*-

Since I'm blessed with double chin, I need to draw my jawline to make it more firmer and gave me a better 3D look. Of course, this is my formula at the moment, I can easily adapt the strokes and lines according to the look I want, and so do you. Everyone's face is indeed unique.

-*-

After drawing some lines with the shade I want, the lightest for highlights, the darkest for contour and the mid part for under the nose and some for concealing that one annoying acne on the cheek which as you can see are not that visible anymore. Do zoom in, it is rather hidden (clue: right cheek).

Using my favorite beauty blender (or the sponge also will do once it was been damped a bit) just dab dab dab everywhere to help blend them and even out.

-*-

Above is the base for my no makeup makeup look, simply ad some colors like lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, a tad of blush and so on. Or, make it a full one like the image below. I use the product after a foundation, so the base is set with a rather flawless skin to begin with. Total Cover Concealing and Contour Kit that was used after simply making the look more contoured and perfect.

-*-

It helps made my nose appear smaller and the nose bridge to be higher, sharper jawline, better cheekbones and a much rounded plumped cheeks.

The creams are so easy to be used and pretty much demi matte, so far the product works well with any other product (even brand) I have and not disappoint me. No crumble, no piling up, just easy breezy blendable product that adequately light.

-*-




Aside from the product, the container itself is made with the most tasteful design. Smoothly operated, easily opened and tightly closed to keep everything inside safe and sound. The round mirror inside is perfect, clean and gives a clear vision. The puff is pleasing, delicate and delightful.

-*-




I found many reasons why they are so collectible.

The minute I put the container out from the box, the scented pearls are astonishing. The memorable fragrant from every Meteorites Pearls, it's sublime. When I opened the big Pearl, oh the scent, it's getting stronger and once again, I'm in love.

-*-

I used them with a large brush for that G sign and using this puff when I want to emphasize on certain areas such as cheeks, nose and chin. The puff acts as a holder too, it help kept the pearls safe from any accidental bumps, we wont want them to breaks apart.

The powder from the peals also helps as a finishing touch, it helps keeping the makeup together. Keeping them looking fresh right from the start.

Thank you so much Guerlain Indonesia, this one is definitely a keeper.

Guerlain Spring 2017

Hello lovelies,

there's this most special package I have received a few days ago and they look beyond gorgeous.

-*-

I opened the bag carefully and found a letter for me. It was surreal, they made me feel so special and blessed.

It's Guerlain Spring 2017 collection and some other varieties from La Petite Robe Noire Make Up.

-*-

Here they are, 4 products of pure pleasure. They dressed so provocatively and others are so romantic. One other thing, they smell so good once I get them off the box, two particular products are from the Spring 2017, like soft floral are everywhere. I'm in love.

-*-

These two are so wonderful, Pearls Meteorites are always been my favorite and they keep having new variants, this one is Happy Glow Pearls, and look at the container, it's round like a pearl and glows so breathtakingly pretty.

La Petite Robe Noire Mascara and that adorable Lip & Cheek in bright pink also super endearing. I'm a huge fan of lip and cheek product, who doesn't love a matchy-matchy makeup, and this one also smells fragrantly good.

-*-

Heehee, those words on their catalogue "Everyone Says Meteorites I Love You" is so spot on! No one ever resist these babies. They look so good, attractive, glowing, and made the skin appear so happy and bright.

The blush are hard to resist too, it has that perfect shade of pink that glows.

-*-

These pearls are made specially for our skin to have that irresistible charm.

-*-

And this Lip & Cheek appear simple yet when opened, the texture is intense, gooey like gel and yet, still easy to blend.

-*-

The top that shaped like the tip of La Petite Robe Noire perfume bottle is actually just a decor, it easily detached from the top and when opening the bottle, it's easier when it is off.

Inside, the top is connected to a small brush and behold, it's shocking bright neon pink.

-*-

And there it is, the mascara, La Petite Robe Noire Mascara, do you know that Guerlain's mascara always has this gel fluid, never sticky nor harden formula (when used accordingly around 6 months), that glides on the lashes oh-so-beautifully.

This time, they does it again but with a very well made wand.

-*-

The tip will reach very short lashes like lower and inner sides, while the rest are able to grasp the long lashes for a fuller look with intensity of darkness and volume.

-*-

And when they are finished, we can see that they are actually bright pink inside.

-*-

There you go! An prelude, a teaser, a taste of what happens in my blog in the coming future. A glimpse of a radiant reviews on these amazing products. Stay tune, as I will review them one by one, as they do deserve a post on their own. Each one of them.

Thank you so much Guerlain, love, love, love!!

Too Faced Let it Glow

Hello lovelies,

this is one Christmas item hard to be missed and I think it's still great for summer too with all the radiant glow, especially us who lives in the city and kinda missed those sunny beach radiant glow. It's a slightly different glow but I still can happily use them on events.

-*-

The product was on sale on Sephora a few weeks ago and perhaps that's the reason I noticed it. The sale product are gathered near the entrance and clearly seen, I know that most of them expired within a year and usually in countries like USA or Europe, these kinds are already sold over 90% off or perhaps discarded while it's still on sale here in Indonesia.

Oh well,... this is Let it Glow after all, as seen below, it consist of 3 small containers of blush, highlights and bronzer. Pretty much something that I can use within 6-8 months.

-*-

-*-

This is Love Flush Blush in Love Hangover, a beautiful shade of a healthy pink which I found to be irresistible. I use it on my cheeks on the first image above. Well, I use all three of them on the first image. It's so gorgeous and I love how the lights bounce off them, they look so pretty and like I have that irresistible glow.

Added with the Candlelight Glow Highlighting Duo in Rosy Glow. A two tone highlights that is perfect for just about anytime. I love it during the evening, afternoon, or even day time. I can simply add them or put it down gently with a faint glow for that subtle touch or during special occasion I can add some more.

-*-




They look super pretty right, so girly and adorable. I remember going to an evening that day using this two tones that look so beautiful and it boost my confidence. I love how it made my cheeks looks sultry soft and super smooth. It's a perfect one I've been searching all these time.  The radiance that attractive and doesn't seems like I'm oily or sweating (like some highlights I found) and the pearly luminesce is quintessential.

-*-

Last but not least, Snow Bunny Luminous Bronzer that can be used for eyeshadow too, the four delectable shades of perfect harmony. Snowy white, chocolate brown, glowing pink and beige.

Using a small brush, they can be used individually.

-*-

These bronzer is suitable for me giving a more tanned look than the rest. The choco brown as a contour and the highlights in between. One with super glow and the other with a more pale and white matte finish.. not really matte but compared to the snow white one. Whats great about them they are also last long, like almost the whole day, it stays really good and feels ultra comfortable for being airy light.

I've used them during a day out in Singapore where it was hot and humid since we spent most of our days being outdoor, yet the glows are still there. It's that iridescent flush I can't resist.

-*-

Overall, love it to the max!
