AYou Beauty DOT Artist

Hello lovelies,

here is one of the product from AYou Beauty. The DOT Artist, a very cute nail colors with dots applicator.

-*-

The colors are so pretty, blue, pink and yellow, all in pastels. Girls would definitely love these.

-*-

Ideas spread on the images are quite clear, the rest would be your ability to apply them nicely or like me, with both lefties heehee, I have zero skill in terms of nail art, even a primary school kids would get offended if I say my work is them.

-*-

Add glitters, stickers, or anything you can imagine. Now, let me continue reviewing the products.

-*-

As seen, everything needed to make that perfect DOT Artist is all here.

-*-

So after several attempts in trying them on my daughter's nails and mine as well. We finally understand the issues, the polish takes some time to dries up, an hour is minimum, for me it took me around 2-3 hours for them to set and the whole day to be completely harden.

The other feature is the nail polish has a small brush, suitable for a small nails. The two dots are in two sizes, one small and the other smaller ^^

-*-

I'm using the blue on on the images, followed by pink dots. And as visibly seen, my skill is no match to a handy primary school in their art class.

-*-

The hard to dry liquid also make applying them far from easy.

By this point they are already a mess ^^ I can't keep my hands off anything as many things to be done for 2-3 hours, so it's a good thing I took a quick snap immediately once done.

Tips. try using them on a fake nails and leave them alone for a day before putting them on your nails, then you'll have time for everything.

Thank you AYou Beauty.

The Bath Box Party Time

Hi all,

back with more soap from The bath Box, a pretty looking bar soap that smells pretty too.

-*-

I'm a bit confused when accepting the product from @aischatz at first, why is it covered, after opening the paper wrap I found this party looking soap inside, complete with confetti, glitters and attractive colors.

The aroma of the soap is fragrant and very nice compared to Goats Don't Lie, but still in the mild zone (for a scent addict like me) and as usual, I love these products that contain no paraben, sls free and sles free too, as I do want my skin to be well and overall well being too. It's like investing in good products and doesn't let bad stuff piled up inside your system. Like when you see people who smoke and says they don't die after a few puff, but we all know the toxin are building their ways in making life miserable.

Same goes with products we use everyday, we might not experience it all at once in a go, but gradually and in long term period for a better future well being. We already has too many chemicals around us, right?!

Now, back to the soap, it lathers easily but the shape made it a bit not friendly to the touch, like the soap is slippery enough and the glitters and some parts is a bit like angry scrub on the skin. So I prefer using a sponge or a scrunchy then make tons of foams, and let the foams cleansed me all over. Since it doesn't contain sls and sles, the skin doesn't feel strikingly dry, it is comfortable all over.

Overall, a wonderful way to clean the skin without any worries from harmful igredients that might 'break' the skin.

Thank you @aischatz (instagram) for the lovely product.

The Soap Corner Bath Fizzies

hello everybody,

The Soap Corner sent me this bath fizzies months and months ago, I was told not to review the product on my blog since the shape is a bit messy, they are messy since The Soap Corner doesn't have enough time (yet, I'm asking her to make one for my daughter in the shape of a hello kitty) and they are indeed a bit fragile. I saw some on Martha Steward and it was delicate.

So why am I writing about them now, despite of their a bit out of figure shape, that doesn't take the function out of these babies.

-*-

What is inside this bath fizzies, nothing more than baking soda, epsom salt, olive oil, sugar and many more (including scents). Epsom salt is actually not a salt, it's a mineral compound that found in hot springs, not just any hot springs, these are the ones that has been well known to have benefits for our skin and body. Think about muscle ache, tiredness, etc.

These bath fizzies contain those ingredients so we can have our own 'hot spring' at home.

-*-

The fizz is not as much as I wanted them too, the kitties are pretty damp when I open the container, perhaps it is due to delivery during rainy weather (who knows?!)  but when put on the tub, it need a bit stirring for them to completely dissolve. Then slowly but sure, the water turns soft and slippery. It's like they literally become an 'onsen' my personal mildly scented strawberry onsen.

The skin does feel smoother and softer after soaking in it, some muscles become loosening and I'm really happy Erie (the owner of The Soap Corner) made these babies available in Indonesia now, as I usually buy tons of bath salt from trips to Japan.

Overall,
A great product with a wonderful ingredients that gives benefit to the skin and body, but I wish it contain more fizz. And perhaps someday when she made it for me, the scent increased by 200% (yes, she made this one mild as these are for my daughter).

Thank you The Soap Corner

Utama Spice Temu-Temu Face Mask

Hello lovelies,

Heehee, I guess more natural products is now available on my blog, I love them since they are all paraben free, sls free, and contain no harsh chemical. When you think about banned ingredients, researcher must have found linked problems from using it. So, whenever possible, please do refrain yourself from using products that contain problematic chemicals.

-*-

Products from Utama Spice is all natural and when used accordingly, they are safe and effective, just like Temu Temu Face Mask. A blend made from temulawak and clay, this product is a mask and scrub fit for those with normal to oily skin type. I wont recommend this mask for those with sensitive and dry skin condition, as my cheeks are dry and sensitive it feels uncomfortable to be used on those area. But on the t-zone? It works like a cure for the oiliness.

It's like every particle of the powder absorbed the oils and sebum. I use it on my body too, it cleanse everything well.

How do I use it?
Mix the powder with a bit of powder. it will become a paste at first but watery then, spread on your skin, wet, dry, clean, dirty, doesn't matter, and let it sit for a while. They'll dry up pretty fast (when applied thinly, like 5-10 minutes) and rinse everything off, massage the skin with your regular cleanser/soap to make sure everything is off. These are a very tiny powder, they sit in the pores for sure, so clean them up well.

After cleaning them well, notice that sebum and grease free skin. It's mattefying.

Use as frequently or as seldom as your skin's desire.

Thank you so much Utama Spice.

The Bath Box Arm & Leg Green Tea Butter

Hello everyone,

I'm back with more products from The Bath Box sent by @aischatz , this is Arm and Leg Green Tea Butter. A body butter that is made from shea, mango, and cocoa butters, virgin coconut, apricot kernel, and meadowfoam oils, plus fragrance.

The Bath Box is still in their no paraben and sls free zone, safe to be used by anyone.

-*-

One feature that interest me the most is the texture that really looks like a whipped cream, but an oily one. Very soft to the touched, like a fluffy white foam, when spread on the skin at first it was pleasing but then the oils stays on the skin, making them look and feel greasy. This is perfect for those with extra dry skin, it contain the moisture inside.

With a lovely green tea butter that lingers on the skin.

On the hot and humid weather like Jakarta, I don't think this product would be my favorite, but when traveling abroad or in a dryer environment, my skin would thank me for this.

Can be used on elbows, knees and heels as well.

Thank you @aischatz on instagram if you want to know more and purchase the products from The Bath Box.

-*-

This is the product, it's in a glass container and very very sticky. Opening the jar itself took time with all of those clear tapes sticking on the lid. I know it's for safe keeping, or perhaps to make sure nothing went wrong during delivery but still, 15 minutes for just opening it from box to finally see what's inside.

And what's inside? A very very dense and thick sugar wax, or to be more precised, chocolate sugar was with heavy chocolate invasion. I couldn't get it through, it really need to be heated or it wont be able to be spread on the skin.

-*-

After 15-20 minutes of heating the glass jar in a hot water, the formula starts loosening up and usable.

Careful when using it, make sure you have the right temperature so you wont burn your skin.

-*-

I applied the liquid (now, I can call it a liquid) on to the skin, when it is still warm, I put on the clothe for waxing (which is not provided in the kit), wait until it is cooler and let those wax grip the hairs better, before pulling it off in a single strike.

The result are quite clean, but for very fine and smaller hairs I can't seem to pull it all thoroughly. There are still some leftovers, so my tips would be to use this wax after your hair is at least half centimeter.

Overall,
plus size: glass jar, which make warming it more convenient and 'safe'.
able to pull thick hairs instantly and strongly
the very pleasing and comforting chocolate aroma and vanilla (irresistible and looks appetizing)

minus,
it doesn't contain the clothes for waxing
I can't pull those tiny and fine hairs with the wax.

Rp. 90.000 for 0.5 Kg

please do go to their website and check out other variants and products.

Thank you so much Kanari Hime.

Laneige Multi Cleanser

Hello lovelies,

How are you today? These days have been pretty humid with all the clouds and rains. I hope everyone is well, as for us, the kids are having a flu now. As I'm already very busy even without sniffles bothering us, I need more products that brings simplicity into the routine, like Laneige Multi Cleanser.

-*-

Details from http://www.laneige.com.sg:

- A new 4-in-1 cleanser removes makeup, removes sunscreen, exfoliates and cleanses at once.
- Micro-sized dense foam removes makeup completely leaving fresh feeling
- Mild plant-based cleansing ingredients and Papain enzymes, the exfoliating enzymes extracted from papaya fruit, remove makeup completely and exfoliate for smoother skin.
* Completely removes base makeup, such as sun cream, BB cream, and foundation, as well as color makeup.

1. Wet face and then release about a coin-sized amount of cleanser to massage onto face and melt makeup.
2. Use every day to purify pores for brighter skin.

-*-

I use it this much and lathers them well on the palm before using the foam to clean everything off.

-*-

The foam created is fluffy, light and cleans everything off except waterproof makeup.

It has a faint floral scent.

I love how gentle the foam is and it does felt like it cleans everything well. I do take my time in lathering and massaging the foam on the skin so the product has time to take those makeup gunk, sweats, oils, and everything trapped in between, off from my skin.

The effect is a clean skin, after rinsing it might feels a bit squeaky but it'll goes off immediately. Once dried the skin becomes very very soft and of course, clean.

-*-

My tips would be, use a cleansing oil or other makeup remover for a waterproof makeup, then followed by Multi Cleanser to finish the job. Continue with a toner, serum and your favorite moisturizer.

A good cleanser help those beautiful ingredients to be absorbed better into our skin.

Thank you Laneige Indonesia.

Kiehl's Cross Terrain All in One Refueling Wash

Hello men,

as this product is made for men from Kiehl's.

Cross-Terrain All-In-One Refueling Wash

A versatile energizing wash that thoroughly cleanses hair and body

• Contains coconut-derived cleansers and soothing Aloe Vera
• Formulated with an invigorating blend of Menthol, Vitamin E and Citrus oil, for a refreshing, tingling sensation and clean scent

http://www.kiehls.com
-*-

A product for top to toe usage, hair, face, body, all in one. When I read about the details the product seems to be quite strong in terms of function and scents, menthol, citrus, with refreshing and tingling experience, yet in reality, it is so mild and gentle with a slight menthol sensation. I couldn't feel the exact tingling sensation as said. But I do adore the gentleness it brings, the hair and skin (I do not use it as a facial wash) feels so soft and fresh. My husband said that the product is much too mild to him.

-*-

It doesn't lather as much as other similar products with sls (duh!) so perhaps he doesn't feel that squeaky clean like our floors are. For me that's a good thing since our skin is NOT the same as the surface we step on daily.

So overall, it is a great top to toe cleanser for those who love the softness and cleanliness without the drying effect. Leave it on the skin or scalp longer and the menthol effect will be more obvious.

Thank you Kiehl's Indonesia.

Evete Naturals Chocolate Mint, Lemon Ginger Lip Balms and Lavender Body Butter

Hello lovelies,

I hope you are all well.

These products are brought to you by Evete Naturals.

Please do watch the video before proceed reading the post.

-*-

As seen on the video Evete Naturals is a handmade natural cosmetics account in instagram. They are based in Yogyakarta and ship to many places in Indonesia. I love their designs and principals of everything natural. On their instagram account (@evete_naturals) I can see behind the scenes of the illustrations. Also check out each of the ingredients benefits too.

-*-

The thick white creamy body butter, the one with that amazing lavender (I could never resist a lavender), perfect for a very dry skin or when in a dryer climate. My tips for using this product for a normal skin in a hot and humid Jakarta would be add a bit of skin softener or lotion (not body lotion, but those clear watery lotion like toner, to be used before moisturizer), add a bit of that lotion/softener on the palm with the body butter, mixed them well to loose them up until they aren't as thick as before, or spray evian brumisateur / avene on the skin before using the butter.

-*-

Above is the ingredients for the body butter.

Now, the lip balms, heehee, I love them. They can be applied thinly or thick as we please. Use it overnight for a smooth lips afterwards, or after a lip scrub for that irresistible soft looking lips.

-*-




The chocolate mint is deliciously refrehsing and the lemon ginger is alive with it's citrus scent. I'm suing it right now as I'm not a big fan of a lip balm that are too sweet smelling or buttery, I prefer them like these choco minty and lemony ginger. They are unique and all in a good way.

One thing for sure, their ingredients are naturals too.

-*-



Thank you so much Evete Naturals for these wonderful products that made my skin elbows, heels, and knees dry-free and my lips smells so good and looking fine too!
