Lime Crime, Shame On You

Lime Crime's M.$.L.F. - Moms I'd Like to Follow Velvetines Bundle
Oh Lime Crime, they did it again. Arguably being the most controversial beauty company, they just couldn't stop making the headlines. After releasing their culturally-insensitive China Doll Eyeshadow Palette back in 2012, they're back with another controversial product.

For their Mother's Day 2017 special edition, Lime Crime released a Velvetines Lip Bundles Set, named "M$LF: Moms I'd Like to Follow." Here's a screenshot for this product on their website:

(Review + Video) Juvia's Place Nubian Palette

Juvia's Place Nubian Palette
I have to admit, I'm not an eyeshadow kind-of-girl. Since I have small eyelids and eye area, I don't think I can do a lot of things with my eye makeup. However, when I saw many Beauty Gurus on YouTube raved about Juvia's Place's eyeshadow palettes, I couldn't help but to research more on this brand.

(Review + Video) Chubby Mermaid Brush From Mermaid Salon

Chubby Mermaid Brush
Cutest makeup brush alert! I recently stumbled upon this Chubby Mermaid Brush by Mermaid Salon on Instagram, and instantly squee because it's so cute I cannot 😭😭😭

Based on Mermaid Salon Instagram page, this brush is a foundation, concealer, and contouring brush. I think judging from its shape, this brush will be the perfect tool to apply & blend cream contour product. Since I don't have brush for cream contour yet, I decided to purchase this adorable baby.

Rollover Reaction "Flushed!" Review

Rollover Reaction Flushed! in Thulian
With so many beauty companies releasing matte liquid lipsticks, it can get a bit repetitive after a while. That's why, when Rollover Reaction, an Indonesian beauty brand, announced the release for their "Flushed!" Lip & Cheek stain, I got intrigued. Based on some swatches I found on Instagram, I knew that this product has sheer & glossy finish. This product has 3 shades available: Thulian (bright red), Paloma (peach), and Orla (violet). What a pretty shade name(s)!

What catches me at first is the packaging! So pretty omg. Plus, they said that it's coconut scented, and since I'm nuts about coconuts (get it? heheh), I really wanted to try this line.

"13 Reasons Why" Makes Me Feel Depressed

Photo courtesy of Netflix

Have you guys watched 13 Reasons Why? I have just finished all 13 episodes plus the commentary episode yesterday. It blew my mind, and not in a good way. It's not that the show is bad, it's just so depressing to watch. What makes it even more depressing is, how awfully real it feels towards real life.

Some people say high schools are the best time in their life. Some say it's their worst. But for Hannah Baker, the main protagonist in this show, it's beyond her worst nightmare.

(Review) Elona Capellini & Locco Mocco Detangler Brush

Elona Capellini & Locco Mocco
Having frizzy hair like mine, hair styling tools are Godsend. I just started styling my hair (almost) everyday with hot tools since couple years ago. Previously, I would just have "I don't care" attitude about my frizzy hair and went outside home with hair like lion.

What repels me from using hot styling tools is how difficult it is to do my own hair, and how long it takes to create decent curls or even to perfectly straighten my hair.

How I Make Fake Freckles

Fake Freckles
I have always love freckles. I think it's adorable and somehow, gives a youthful and glowing look. However, I don't have any freckles at all, sadly.

With so many beauty products to accommodate every beauty trend you could ever imagine, I found out from watching many tutorials on YouTube that you can create fake freckles using eyeliner pen or eyebrow pencil.

#OOTD: Summer Day, Summer Dress

Sunny day!
I don't get Jakarta weather sometimes. It's already April but it still rains pretty often. Today however, I had a very hot sunny day. It was gloomy in the morning, but sunny all the way until night time!

Since it's Saturday, I went out for lunch at Monks in Kelapa Gading area. It was nice, and the food was yummy. For today's outfit, I'm wearing floral summer dress from Old Navy, paired with knitted outerwear, earrings from Mazel.inc, my PvraXMagnum sandals, and this super cute hat from Hello Alice.

(Review) The Ordinary Skin Care By Deciem

The Ordinary
Beauty comes with price tag. In the world where people actually spend hundreds of dollar to purchase skincare products, beauty companies make us think that higher price tag means higher quality. Remember La Mer and Guerlain cream? Creme De La Mer costs $170 per 60ml, and Guerlain Orchidee Imperial Cream costs a whooping $455 per 48ml.

Crazy right?

(Review) Innisfree Bija Trouble Line

Innisfree Bija Line (Lotion, Facial Wash, Spot Treatment)
As a girl with oily and acne-prone skin, I'm always looking for the next magic skincare line to treat my skin woes.

Last week, I started using Innisfree's Bija Trouble line. It's Innisfree's line for acne-prone skin, and since my previous experience with Innisfree products have always been nice, I was excited to try these products. I did some research on people's reviews, and mostly are good, so I felt pretty safe to try this line.
