A Timeless Bubble

 

I really wish we live in Black Mirror universe where we can stay in the happiest time we ever had. Or perhaps, please please please pretty please someone invents a time machine soon, so I can go back to the time when I was just a naive student in Singapore.

It was a comfortable bubble for me. I was studying. I had many close friends. I didn’t need to worry about my financial situation. I had a boyfriend. I loved my job.

Time is really such a funny thing. I know growing up is inevitable but really, sometimes I wish I don’t have as much responsibilities as much as I have now. Life is definitely much simpler back then in 2010-2013. 

I always have this clear vision on my mind, where I can go back to my past, and watch it as if I was watching a movie, sitting comfortably inside a timeless bubble. Perhaps that’s how death feels like, to rewatch and just really see how we used to live our past lives, from third-eye view, in a comfortable darkness, where time doesn’t exist.

I love gel moisturizers. However, despite of the refreshing texture, I found that the hydration they give are minimal. Come into the picture, is this new gel moisturizer from the beloved French skincare brand Avène: Hydrance Cream in Gel Moisturizer.

I received this product from Clozette Indonesia & Avène Indonesia, and have been using this for the past two weeks, for both my morning and night moisturizer. It pairs nicely with my two other Avène products that I'm using as well, the Eau Thermale Spring Water and the Cleansing Gel.

Hi guys! What factor(s) make you decide which body wash or lotion do you want to use? How many of you use body wash or body lotion solely because of its scent and/or packaging and not based on how safe it is for your skin? I was guilty of that! My skin has always been generally healthy and not sensitive towards any body wash or body lotion, however, recently I have some dry patches on my skin that made me rethink my choice of body wash and body lotion.

Just in time, I received gift hampers from QV skin care and Face to Feet containing three products: QV Wash, QV Skin Lotion, and QV Cream for me to try. QV is a skin care brand from Ego Pharmaceuticals Australia, and all three products I received are made in Australia as well. Apparently, QV is no.1 dermatological skin care brand in Australia and is dermatologist-approved.

By this time now, you must have heard of Lakme. This Unilever-owned cosmetics has been storming up Indonesian beauty community with their large makeup selections and heavy marketing.

I have reviewed one of Lakme's product before (Argan Lip Color, read it here) and now, I was generously sent more of their makeup by @lakmeprgirl 😊 I actually only asked for the Illuminating Eye Shadow Palette in shade French Rose and Moonlit Highlighter, however she generously sent me the Blush Duos in Pink and also Lip Pout Matte in shade Hot Cinnamon and Plum Temptation. Thank you so much for the love, Lakme 😘

Hair Update! Strawberry Shortcake & Grape Hair 🍇🍓😍✨

Pardon the hair strand on my eye

CNY is fast approaching, so it's time to get a new hair cut! Since I decided to cut my hair short, I need to say goodbye to the bleached part of my hair 😭  It feels as though I'm seeing money being torn apart when I looked at the strands of bleached hair on the floor #cheapo #lebay #frugalbaby

Even though it's sad to chop down my bleached hair, I must admit I really like this new short hairstyle. I cut my hair with my go-to hair dresser, Mas Endi from Irwan Team Grand Indonesia. Do book appointment ahead if you want to get your hair cut by him since he's not always on shift at Grand Indonesia outlet.
