(Review & Swatch) POND'S Magic Powder BB & Angel Face Powder in Pinkish White Glow & Natural Mattifying

Let's take a break from lipstick review and visit other popular category in makeup department: Setting Powders! To be honest, I'm actually less adventurous in trying new powders because I'm scared new face product will break me out. I'm pretty loyal to my normal powder: Mineral Botanica Original Loose Foundation. I've been using it for more than a year now, having finished 6 or 7 jar of it. However, there's this new viral face powder that intrigues me: Pond's Thailand Face Powder.

These powders are sold in minimarkets and supermarkets in Thailand for a super affordable price, around Rp15,000-Rp20,000 per bottle. However, since I bought it from reseller in Jakarta, I paid Rp45,000 for each bottle, a still affordable price in my opinion.

#OOTD: Floral On Floral

Last week I was invited to the boutique-warming event for Billy Tjong's new boutique. For my outfit, I took the bold choice to mix floral with floral for that event. I know that the general rule of thumb is to mix pattern with something plain, but there is something with this styling match that really speaks to me. I asked three of my friends who work in fashion industry about this style and all of them said no lol, but I went with it anyway 🙈

Details of my outfit:

A Go-To Person

Do you have a go-to person? Or perhaps, you're the kind of people who even have a few ones? Like, one for advising you with your personal issue, one for your hang-out buddy, one for your drinking buddy, and one for guiding you in your career?

(Review & Swatch) GLOU COSMETICS Lip Treat

New local solid lipstick yay! And no, it's not matte (thank goodness!). On the contrary, this lipstick from GLOU COSMETICS is pleasantly called Lip Treat due to its moisturizing, balm-like texture.  Even their slogan reads, "Every Lips Deserve A Treat." Sounds super good to me ♡

(Review & Swatch) Lakmé Absolute Reinvent Argan Oil Lip Color

I finally gave up to all the hype and purchased Lakmé product. This Unilever makeup brand from India has been super aggressive with their online and offline promotion since the launching in Indonesia. Their latest product launch is the Absolute Reinvent Argan Oil Lip Color.

(Sponsored) GOBDIGOUN Luxury Korean Skin Care Review

There is no doubt that Koreans know good skin care. From dry skin to acne to anti-aging concerns, there are many Korean beauty products available to choose from. This time, I was given the opportunity to review Gobdigoun, a luxury Korean brand that has been established since 2010. 

A little background info about Gobdigoun, it is created by LG Household & Health Care Shop's Beautiplex and they have physical stores at Myeongdong and Chungmu in Seoul. They don't have any store yet in Indonesia, but fret not because you can still buy their products online.

(Review) STUDIO TROPIK Priming Water in #Original & #Flawless

How many of you got attracted to beauty products because of the packaging only? I'm guilty of that "beauty sin" haha 🙈 I was just scrolling through my Instagram feed when I saw a post from @pattdevdex of her photo shoot for Studio Tropik. On the photo, she was holding a white spray bottle with a splash of pink on it. Apparently, it's for Studio Tropik's Priming Water ads. So, what is Priming Water actually?

GoGirl! Beauty Market Vol.2: Art Installation & Beauty Hauls

I went to outer space during my Friday Lunch for a picnic 💟

Last week, I went to GoGirl! Beauty Market Vol.2 located at Kota Kasablanka Mall. The timing was pretty tight since I went there during my Friday lunch hour, hence why I didn't have much time to take pictures 😞  I just had enough time to browse around, went to ATM to draw cash, buy the products that I want, and rushed back to the office 😣

#SelfReminder: Make Time For Kindness

artwork created by me, please credit me if you want to use it :)

Kindness has never been my strongest point. As a person who finds pleasure in time efficiency, I often don't have the patience to do kind gestures using the reason "it's wasting my time". As bad as it sounds, I don't want to do kindness insincerely, and I rather use the "quality over quantity" philosophy.

Don't get me wrong, I can be sincerely kind to people who matters to me, but I don't want to invest my time in things or people that won't give any positivity back to me. What I mean by positivity: make me have good mood and/or good vibes, enrich my knowledge & experience, teach me something useful in life. Stuff like that, you get it?

Anyway, yesterday when I was in the cinema, I was sitting next to a young man. With a little light coming from the movie screen, I saw his face and instantly knew: he has Down Syndrome.

(Review & Swatch) Luxcrime Ultra Satin Lipstick

A new addition to local lipstick! Thank God this time, it's not a liquid matte lipstick (boring 🙈). I honestly very rarely use my matte liquid lipstick now because I'm more into healthy, plumped lip look nowadays. These days, if I want to get soft matte lip look I will reach for Rollover Reaction & Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet because their results are more towards creamy natural matte instead of dead matte that makes your lips look all wrinkly.

Anyway, I want to do review for this Luxcrime Ultra Satin Lipstick in shade Her Majesty. Luxcrime was initially only had skincare products, but now they have expanded their products to makeup as well. This Satin Lipstick is their third makeup product after Ultra Lipmatte Liquid Lipstick and Golden Eyes Eye Shadow Palette.
