Draw The Line Grand Launching PAC Liquid Eyeliner and Review

Hello everyone,

who has a busy weekend last week? I do! It's like event after event after event after event, seriously. One of the event I went into is the Grand Launching of PAC Liquid Eyeliner at Plaza Semanggi and I'm invited as one of the guest speaker ^____^ for the press release at 4th of May 2013. Which explains the lack of images, but rest assure the team from PAC will send me some more pictures for anyone to see.

-*-

I'm still going to share some of the images I managed to get before and after the event. Look at their eyes, the 7 colors of the liners are responsible for them and all the models.

-*-

You can create countless of creations, from the most subtle to daring look possible. It's all depends on your ideas and personal favorite. I found these colors to be deliberating and the complete opposite of boring and dull, the seven colors are like a beautiful rainbow.

-*-

 

Everyone is busy preparing everything and then I have to be interviewed by Metro TV and right after a quick lunch, meet and greet, the event started, hehe, no worries, more photos are coming soon as mentioned above.

Here some images taken by PAC team ^___^

I've shared how the eyeliners from PAC has open a new posibilities of creation not just for professionals but for amateurs and beauty enthusiast such as the beauty blogger. The eyeliners may be mixed and used anyhow I please, from the conventional eyeliners to eyeshadows too when it is not yet to be set, blend the colors on the lid and voila! A bright colors of shadows which is waterproof as well. Use it with the face paints from PAC and you have a theater on you. Ready for some action and yes, with the face painter, the possibilities become endless.

-*-

And as one of Indonesian Beauty Blogger I hope PAC will embrace more possibilities of collaboration so all the beauty bloggers here may become their ambassador to the world. Also to give honest reviews and input, so PAC may keep on innovating and become one of the best cosmetics in the world and a brand which Indonesian can be proud of.

The event also featured on Metro TV and I'm interviewed as well.

Right after the event, PAC team gave me a gift for the speaker, a hamper full of PAC products, which I considered to become a giveaway heehee, anyone interested? Maybe a quick one for a twitter quiz.

There are several products in the package, let's open it up.

-*-

Here's  number 1:

Color Festival Eye Shadow. A four color eye shadow in one pretty palette.

-*-

The collection is called Angel Eyes.

-*-

2. Perfect Finish Blush On C.01

-*-

3. Liquid Eyeliner in Gold. And another one (from my previous collection) Baby Blue.

-*-

Later I'm going to review it and share the amazing 18 hours of using it.

-*-

Which start as a simple swatch on my hand, take note the review on the eyelid may be differ as there are eye creams, shadows, and other materials (makeup) on and the humidity and one's lid condition.

-*-

A bright and pigmented colors of gold and baby blue with sparkles on it. All 7 colors have sparkles for anyone to shine with it.

-*-

4. Lovely Rose Lip Color Eye Palette.

A 5 shade for the lips. Equipped with a double side brush. 

-*-

Noticed that I wont do a swatch for products no 1, 2, and 4 as I considered them to be prizes for a giveaway ^___^

Let's return to the product review, the first test I've done is the water and soap test, take note that they were in a "set" condition. Set = applied and wait to dry before anything was done on them.

-*-

The baby blue washed away easily yet stained. The gold still standing quite strong with around 85 percent left on the skin. This image was taken 1-2 hours upon application. 

-*-

After being rubbed on, touched and washed. The image was taken after 8 hours. I've taken showers, use lotions, was the dishes, and well, do stuffs on it and the gold and stained line of blue is still there. Reduced, but not completely gone.

-*-

This image is taken 12 hours after application and now as 18 hours has passed by, my review is final. The blue gives a stained effect on the skin while the gold doesn't. I know for sure why gold is their best sellers, it last a really long time with superior result. Doesn't melt, leak nor easily washed away. Perfect for a tough job staying a long time at the eyes area.

It just happens that my lids are greasy and so does my hands since I do applied hand cream on it. So if you happens to have dry skin and lids as well, the eyeliner will stay longer and better on you. Different color gives different result and different skin condition affect the longevity of the eyeliners.

7 shades to explore, countless creation for anyone to mix and match. Don't forget to shake before application (it does make a sound like tip-ex, a tiny ball does inserted in the eyeliner) and draw on!

Psst!!! Follow me on twitter @c13v3rgirl to participate in giveaways (coming soon).

Jimmy Choo Flash EDP

Hello ladies,

most of us know Jimmy Choo and probably own a pair. Since couple years ago, the brand start developing fragrance. And the newest one? FLASH is on the market now.

-*-

The event is held in Moovina, a photo booth has been prepared and a conference room with a touch of a club's light.

-*-




Here's the product, the one that call us all here and graced by her presence.

Without further ado, let's welcome, the press release:



-*-






-*-

-*-

Inside we are presented with the ingredients, how they stand alone or when beautifully mixed together in a bottle called FLASH. You've read the 5W above and let me share with you the experience of me with FLASH.

-*-

I think the box and the bottle pretty much represent the scent inside it. Young, fresh, vibrant, and alive. Not just living in a dimmed light, but spotlight and glamors. Destined for the young or young at heart the scent itself is not too heavy, but embrace the glams of flashlights.

-*-

Bling bling anyone ^___^

I've tried the body lotion at the event and it is a much more calmer nuance and softer as well. But the team assured me, layered all three (shower gel, lotion and perfume) and you'll get a dimension of FLASH EDP all over. Experience the freshness and softness in one, and end it with an extravaganza burst of romantic flowers, a touch of heat from the pepper, and whole lotta coolness from the woods. I'm having an euphoria of strength and softness all at the same time. Feminine yet not girlie, evoking yet delicate, it's a mixed of both in harmony.

-*-

Thanks to all the blue inside the event I can't hardly see the original color of the fragrance, it was actually blue. I thought the idea of a clear perfume would be nice since on the box and everywhere (invitation, press release, etc) are like in diamond or crystal-like form.

-*-

Final words:

An EDP perfume that deserve attention on their own, I imagine someone whose using it is a young lady, perhaps 23 or 25. In full confident make her way into the hottest club in the town dressed like a disco ball, very attractive and full of confident. Not in a snob way, but as in she is in the time of her life and embracing it. Everyone is looking at her for she is gorgeous.

The scent last 4-6 hours and I'm getting more and more comfortable using it, I love it!
The bottle is so cute and impressive at the same time, attractive and fun to look at and definitely deserves some goggling eyes every time I let it out from my bag. The scent shows confident, youth, femininity and intensity of a passionate fabulous aura.

ASTALIFT Light Analyzing Moisture Foundation SPF20 PA++ in BO OO

Hi makeup lovers,

nowadays there's so many makeup infused with skincare, brands which produce skincare usually has a makeup line inspired by their skincare line. So they create a coherent products from the skincare all the way to their makeup.

-*-

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

Light Analyzing Moisture Foundation SPF20/PA++ (Powder Type)

This powder type Light Analyzing Moisture Foundation SPF 20/PA++ delivers optimal light for a luminescent complexion is infused with super antioxidant Astaxanthin to minimise oxidation of sebum on the skin surface, and hydro-soluble Collagen to retain moisture in the skin. Resistant to perspiration and sebum for long-lasting coverage. Provides light to medium coverage, perfect for summer climates. * Case and puff each sold separately
Key Ingredients: Astaxanthin Collagen Light Analyzing Powder	Size 9g

Available Shades

-*-

This is the product, a red case with ASTALIFT imprinted on it, looks sophisticated and glamor at the same time, probably due to the daring red and golden words. The casing, sponge and powder all sold separately, so when purchasing them please do take care the lovely casing, since it has good quality material and a huge mirror attached to it.

I get mine in BO OO which is Beige Ochre 00. It's not the lightest shade, I think the lightest one should be Ochre 00. But it works surprisingly well on my usually "demand the fairest of them all" skin tone. Perhaps in the ASTALIFT world there are more fair skin as they are a brand from Japan. Japanese ladies can be so fair and have a skin of with the touch of white as snow.

-*-

Here it is a powder with the title of foundation yet feels light on the skin. I've used it alone and after a liquid foundation. If one's want  a full coverage use it with a liquid foundation and then the powder, but when lightness and natural look desired, this powder foundation alone is enough.

I've tried using it with a foundation brush and apparently sponge is a better option, the sponge helps the texture of the powder to be distributed more even, especially on a moist skin. I love to keep my skin moist and any makeup which keep the moisture intact is a good makeup.

I know a matte skin used to be so popular but I always hate it since it looks so unnatural. A skin should be glowing and radiant, but not as glowing as oily and greasiness heehee, just that lovely glow which looks natural and healthy. So a powder is still needed but not the one that suck all the life out of the skin. Just the one that enhance and beautifies, like ASTALIFT Light Analyzing Moisture Foundation. Which also have SPF 20 PA ++ for around 5 hours of protection against the sun.

The powder itself sits on my skin around 3-4 hours before the next touch up (outdoor) and 4-6 hours (indoors). Able to reflect lights very well (seen on the image where there's zero blind spot) and smooth plus soft to the touch. The skin feels good and not dried up, a good solution for us living in a summer all year long.

Thank you ASTALIFT Indonesia.

FLOWERBOMB VIKTOR&ROLF EDP

Hello ladies,

who loves fragrance? Raise your hand! Meeeeeeeee \-^0^-/ I raise both of my hands for that. It's like the scent is the completion of thew whole look, I feel completely different when I'm with and when without fragrance. They're like creating an aura surrounding me, either a mystical one, romantic, sweetness or just about anything I want it to be according to the scent as well.

-*-

Come knocking on my door is FLOWERBOMB by VIKTOR&ROLF and alongside are all the necessary details.

-*-

The seal can be found on the box (image above). It's like those back in the old old days where they used to seal everything with candles.

-*-

And beside the FLOWERBOMB they also made one for the men called SPICEBOMB (which I'm not going to discuss).

-*-

 Inspiring isn't it? The concept, background and ideas behind the fragrance which made the perfume as it is today. Here's mine and how it embroiled my life with an eau de parfum bomb-full of flowers.

-*-

Ready, set and burst it into the air, allowing the fragrance to fly and touches my skin, clothes, hair and gives me a presence of sweetness, delicateness and a whole lotta flowers. Like I'm bathing in nectar of the flowers, the core the essence and it feels so alive. The scent continually teasing the senses, the one that stays long after the first spritz is the sleek cotton candy smell.

High alert to the girly girl and everyone who embrace femininity in the most lovelies way possible. Careful, the ants might thing your so sugary.

-*-

Here's my interpretation of the scent, don't I look super sweet?!

Curious? Interested to find out more about the scent? Look below, an invitation for anyone to come and be among the firsts to get the goody bags =^__^= (psst, maybe win prizes too!).

-*-

See you soon!

D'EYEKO Princess Syahrini Cakrawala

Olaaaaa,

D'EYEKO is here and it comes in a form of Princess Syahrini in Cakrawala.

-*-





Here is the product, the one that reach for the skies and glare with every bits of princess aura surrounding her. With this much of attitudes, they definitely gets attention on their own.

Somehow the L and R lashes are not identical, the R one have cat eyes with winged lashes on the outer corner while the L one is equal on each sides (outer and corner).

Probably not suitable for the shy =^__^=

-*-

These are my before after usage of Cakrawala. Like usual the lashes is so light since it was made with natural hair, I do have difficulties on using D'EYEKO before and since been told to use it from the outer corner to the inner, it's been almost like a piece of cake ever since.

D'EYEKO is not like most lashes where the string is plastic, they were a string of cotton. So it was very dent. By having it stick on one corner and gently put it on the other (inner side) is easier in terms of application. Always ready with a cotton bud or anything that have slightly pointier than the fingers to help putting the lashes properly.

And I must say, the glue provided is barely make a mark for me, I prefer other brand of high quality glue since they stick longer and better. Usually when I'm using the glue provided1-2 hours is the maximum hours of the stickiness and I ended up with half lashes hanging on the eyes.

-*-

I must say, I like this design and looks good on it ^___^ and have anyone notice I'm using it backwards, as in the left for the right and right for the left since I want a bigger eyes look with the more lashes in the middle than the corner. I know many bloggers out there reviewing the exact same thing and use it accordingly R for right and L for left, so I figure to do it differently ^__-- But it ended up looking similar since the R and L lashes given already looks different than the other haha! Oops, I think the QC need to be upgraded.

Yet, underneath it all D'EYEKO still gives that same quality of natural hair, lightness and the feeling like I'm using none, with a powerful impact on the user to be a princess-like alluring beauty and attractiveness.

-*-

Thank you D'EYEKO.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Infusion

Hello everybody,

after decades of successful iconic item called the Advanced Night Repair, a serum for the face, finally Estee Lauder launch one for the eyes area last month (Read it: HERE).

-*-

Here is the product, the box and the details attached to it. A 15 ml pump bottle with nothing but goodness for the eyes area. The minute I saw the product, somehow I found it believable. Maybe due to it's precedent product known as ANR, or maybe because of all those research behind it.

-*-

Use it before an eye cream, so yes, it's an eye serum. Twice daily and enjoy the benefit. The product has been with me for a month now and here's my review.

-*-

I'm not using it alone, but with her faithful companion to guide her through. The Advanced Night Repair serum for the face. I'll compare their texture and see them standing side by side to fight the aging out of my skin. Since now there are two ANR, one for the face and one for the eyes, let's call it ANR face, ANR eyes, face and eyes, oh whatever, you got the drill :D

-*-

Here they are, in terms of texture, color and physical appearance, immediately there are some differences. From the clear slightly brown/orange easy to digest serum to the light creamy white ANR eyes. However, both have that almost the same memorable scent, the one that only available in the ANR world. A subtle herb earthy slightly aromatic floral scent.

-*-

And both feels so easy on the skin, one for the facial skin feels so good on the skin and the one for the eyes as well. It may looks creamy but it is away from heavy and thick. Instantly melts and cover the eyes area with the liquid, penetrates and absorbed by the skin. The feeling afterwards is smooth, soft and relaxed.

-*-

From the press release and details given, I know that ANR eyes are made with full research and knowledge of the eyes original condition. Where it needs a pampering action from all those blinking, laughing, and all our facial eyes expression. And I know for sure I can't escape using anti aging products, these last few days I have difficulties in sleeping on the right time.

Perhaps due to the surgery and the stitches or maybe it's just something that all of us has experience. Stress from work or daily life. I meant, we all want a nice, slow paced life with zero pressure. But in reality almost all of us can't have that luxury, the result? We are exhausted and the skin gets to it's toll as well.
 

Lines, wrinkles, dehydrated skin is amongst the things we've seen the minute we step into the 30. Or for some 25. ANR with a remarkable formula which not just fix the skin on top but all through the DNA.

There's when and why we need help, and ANR (face and eyes) are 2 of my recommended items on my list. List? Yes, there are a lot of good products out there, anyone just need to find the perfect item exactly matches their skin. It's just happens that these 2 matches mine and a whole lotta people out there ^_________^

-*-

Use the eye serum from ANR to help the aging off from your eyes from the early age, I'm talking about 18-20's. Since the signs of aging hits the eyes first. Always use the ring finger from the outer to inner side of the eyes. Try to avoid rubbing the eyes, it's not just causing wrinkles (since the eyes area are 40% thinner than the face) it's also might cause infection to the eyes. Avoid using other products for the eyes which has thick texture and fragrances since it can migrate to the eyes. The ANR eyes may be used alone without an eye cream on top of it.

ANR eyes also help reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.

And if needed or wanted, use it with ANR for the face.

-*-

By using them both for a complete Advanced Night Repair experience continually and routinely (minimum of 2 weeks daily application and see the result on your skin) I'm looking younger overall and gradually.

PS: Don't forget to use the rest of the skincare products (cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sun protection) and always use a clean hand when applying.

So far I can use these products with other brand and range, mix and match accordingly to one's skin type and needs.

Thank you Estee Lauder Indonesia.
