When Life Gets Too Exciting I'm...

I'm so excited because so many (good) things are coming my way! I have another tattoo appointment with Revolver Tattoo this week, and my friend from Singapore is visiting me soon. I also have a holiday planned with a close friend happening hopefully pretty soon, and I'm waiting for a (hopefully) good news ♡ Crossing my fingers so hard right now for it to be true!

They're all happening so fast! And I'm abusing the exclamation mark so bad in here as well as the word "hopefully" hahaha.

Only The Good Die Young

Sometimes, I have this crazy thought. How does it feel like when you fall from a skyscraper, or let's say, get hit by a bus? Will you feel an immense amount of pain or will you just black out from the shock and wake up, hopefully, in the other Universe?

During my college years in Singapore, I was walking alone late at night when suddenly a cab kind of hit me. It wasn't hard, but I could feel it pushing on the side of my thigh. I was too shocked to feel a thing, even pain. The next day, I realized there was a large bruise on my thigh where the cab "hit" me. 

(Review & Swatch) Stila Lip & Cheek Stain // Lancôme Juicy Shaker Lip Oil

Happy International Lipstick Day! On this special day in Beauty world, I would like to share my current lip combo obsession: Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Yumberry Crush and Lancôme Juicy Shaker Lip Oil in MeliMelon.

I'm so bored and tired of having dry lips because of using matte lipstick everyday, and I've been longing for lip colour that has sheer-to-medium coverage with ultra-hydrating formula. These two products definitely fulfill my wish perfectly! On the picture above, I was wearing one swipe of Stila Lip & Cheek Stain and topped it with the Lancôme Juicy Shaker. 

#OOTDFriday: Monochrome Black & White

Happy Fri-yay! Celebrating my Friday in this black & white monochromatic outfit. Feel happy because I'm wearing heels and suddenly I'm a 163cm instead of a 157cm haha. Please pardon my crazy bangs that always got separated right in the middle :\

The Story Behind My Le Petit Prince Tattoo

4th time is the charm, perhaps? I'm not new to tats, and this is my 4th ink already, yet I can confidently say that this cutie work courtesy of Revolver Tattoo is definitely my favorite! (My second favorite is actually the one on my collarbone saying "Alis Volat Propriis", a Latin phrase meaning she flies with her own wings")

The inspiration behind this, as you probably can tell from the title, is from the children story book Le Petit Prince. It has always been one of my favorite books, written by French author/poet Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The idea to incorporate this into a tattoo design just came to me out of nowhere haha.

Pretty much sums it all.

Nivea Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover Review

As a daily makeup user, I go through eye makeup remover FAST. Like seriously, I can finish a 100ml makeup remover in one month only. Hence why, I keep looking for affordable yet gentle & effective makeup remover.

My usual go-to eye makeup remover is Up and Away Makeup Remover by Beauty Story. However, even though it's considered as drugstore brand, I find it quite pricey: IDR88,000/100ml. Despite of the price, I was still using and repurchased it because I really like its ability to clean my delicate eye area gently, yet it removes makeup effectively (even the waterproof one!).

I Yearn For Love Just Like in Lana Del Rey's Songs

Video stills from "Shades of Cool" video

I yearn for love just like in Lana Del Rey's songs. It would be melancholic, tragic, and have masochist-tendency, preferably with older, tall, highly-charismatic gentleman who appreciates art and beauty.

I'd like to think that our relationship will be dominated by him, with him being able to tame me and string me along without even realizing it, because he never meant to, he just did. And I'd be happy to do so. Not because anyone or anything forces me, but because I want to.

He will be my drug and I will be his.

Little Piece of Bali in Kemang: HONU Poké & Matcha Bar // BEAU By Talita Setiyadi

I normally wouldn't write about Sunday brunch & coffee places, but these two places impressed me so much I need to make a dedicated post/photo-journal blog about them.

HONU Poké & Matcha Bar is located in Jl Kemang Selatan no.125, just few walks away from Dia.Lo.Gue. This place offers healthy Poké bowl and various matcha-based drinks. I ordered their Yugo bowl and Iced Matcha, and both are super tasty. I ordered Yugo which has raw salmon in it, actually they have both Salmon & Tuna option, however I'm trying to reduce my tuna consumption since I'm scared of high mercury content in tuna 💀
