(Review & Swatch) RiRe Eye Pigments - Complete Shades

Is there anyone here who loves glittery and sparkly eyes? I certainly do, because it's the most simple way to make your eyes pop. Just use one glittery shadow and all attention goes to your eyes.

It's not easy to find good glitter shadow, but luckily I stumbled upon this super pretty yet affordable eye pigments from RiRe. RiRe itself is a Korean brand and all of their products are made in Korea yet they are all still fairly affordable.

I have all 5 shades from this pigment range, and even though the application is a bit tricky, after a while I can do it pretty fast and I think it's worth the result.

(Review) Esfolio Sheet Mask Review: Clean Skin Mask & Essence Mask

Have you ever heard of this Korean skincare brand called Esfolio? I found out about this brand around few months ago from elevenia. Some of this brand's hero products are the sheet masks and aloe vera gel.

I've tried both of their sheet masks and aloe vera gel and I like both of them. However, in this post I will only review the sheet masks first.

The sheet masks come in two type: Clean Skin Mask and Essence Mask. The name's very confusing for me, because on both of the packaging, they both use "Essence Mask Sheet" as product names. The significant difference for me is the packaging; the Clean Skin one has matte packaging with cute illustration, while the Essence Mask has glossy packaging with photo of the ingredient it contains.

(Review) TRESemmé Instant Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo & TRESemmé Liquid Gold

Ever since I bleached and dyed my hair, I've been constantly looking for good hair treatment to nourish my hair. I've been using organic cold-pressed coconut oil as pre-wash treatment, but I still need to use post-wash treatment oil to help moisten up my hair. 

I also have been using dry shampoo to help prolong the color on my hair, by reducing how often I wash it. If I don't use dry shampoo, normally I wash my hair once every day, but with the help of dry shampoo, my hair stays fresh for up to two days.

Therefore, in this post I'm gonna review my current favorite hair oil and dry shampoo: TRESemmé Liquid Gold Hair Treatment Oil and TRESemmé Instant Refresh Volumizing Dry Shampoo.

When Love Only Is Not Enough

Image source: Comet movie (2014)

I wish we live in a universe where love is the only reason we fall in love on the first place. I wish we don't need to consider external factors like steady jobs and parents approval (so Asian, I know), or internal factors like our own selfishness, pride, ego, and personal dreams to fall in love. Unfortunately, that is not the case with the love that we know in this society that we live in.

Brushing off the barriers, be it external or internal is not an easy task. Sacrifices will definitely be needed without saying. However, don't lose yourself while you're in the process of sacrificing. Make sure they're worth your sacrifices, or else, you might end up hating them in the long run for all of the sacrifices you've done for them.

(Review & Swatch) NYX Full Throttle Eyeshadow Palette

I have to admit, I'm often lost on how to apply eyeshadows. I can only apply a maximum of four colours in one use: Crease, Lid, Outer V, and Brow Bone. I can't create complicated eyeshadow look using more than four colours or they tend to end up in one color: muddy brown. Thanks to you, my small eyelids area 😒

That's why, I have a special place in my makeup heart for quad eyeshadow palettes. They're no-brainer to use and normally has compact packaging that's very travel-friendly.

(Sponsored) #BaborIndonesiaXClozetteID Skin Care Class

I've had the opportunity to attend a skin care class held by Babor Indonesia and Clozette Indonesia on 29th September 2017. This event is held at La Madame Restaurant at Hang Tuah Raya no.8. La Madame restaurant itself is a super pretty restaurant with this peranakan style, and it totally gives this skin care class a Soirée vibe.

Sunday Funday #OOTD, New Hair, Fresh Manicure

Sunday Funday! I've had a fun Sunday today indeed. I attended my colleague's wedding in the afternoon (hence the dressy look) and had coffee & manicure session afterwards. It goes without saying that me putting an effort to dress up plus a visit to Sicacilla (my favorite coffee shop) means an #OOTD post haha.

On the picture above I was wearing:

My Frida Kahlo Tattoo

My Frida Kahlo Tattoo

I finally got my wrist tattoo covered up! Ever since I made my Le Petit Prince tattoo, I've been wanting to redo my constellation tattoo at Revolver also. The reason is because even though I still like my constellation tattoo, I think it can be pretty much improved if the dots are much smaller and finer. Also, compared to my Le Petit Prince tats, this constellation tattoo looks pretty old school.

Since both of my Le Petit Prince and constellation tattoo are placed on my forearms, I want them to look somehow consistent, hence why I decided to cover up my constellation tattoo. I think I will make another tats for the constellation, however I'm still considering where should the placement be hehe.

(Review) Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer

Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer

Makeup works wonder on top of good primer, and I take my primer routine very, very seriously. My usual go-to primer is Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner, and I have used so many tubes of those (I'm currently on my 6th tube). However, I'm curious to try this Pore Perfecting Primer from Urban Decay since I also use their All Nighter Foundation, so perhaps using foundation and primer from one brand will have better performance? 

(Review & Swatch) Viva Queen Perfect Matte Lip Color

Viva Queen Perfect Matte Lip Color

Heyho! In this post I'm gonna review the latest lip product from Viva: Viva Queen Perfect Matte Lip Color. I honestly think there will be no ending for (local) matte lipstick trend haha 😅

Anyhoo, Viva Queen is the more premium label from Viva Cosmetics. Many of you know Viva Cosmetics probably from their legendary eyebrow pencils that has been around since our grandmas era. However, lately they have been focusing more on their other decorative makeup like lipsticks.
