Holika Holika Wonder Drawing 24hr Auto Eyebrow 03 Light Brown Review

Recently I love to collecting eyebrow products because eyebrows are really important for entire makeup look. Don't ever leave your brows ungroomed otherwise it may ruin your makeup, except you have a perfect natural eyebrows.

I purchased an eyebrow pencil in Holika Holika counter in my town yesterday, it comes with four shades which are grey black, dark brown, light brown, and red brown, I chose the lightest color no.3 in light brown. I have never tried light eyebrow pencil in my life and it match my hair color too.

This eyebrow pencil comes with a brush and a unique square shaped pencil which could help you easily draw your brows. Contain Vitamin E to soothe sensitive skin and nourish skin. With a waxy texture it won't smudge very easily and could stay all day long! but it's not oil-proof, no makeup product is oil-proof even it's waterproof and long lasting. So if you have oily skin just don't forget to retouch after few hours.

As you can see, this shade comes with a warm undertone so it's suit for Asian very well. My eyebrows are black so it's a little bit strange to wear this pencil alone, so I purchased a browcara as well.

Well, what I think about this eyebrow pencil:

Pros:

- Affordable price

- Comes in many shades

- Easy to apply

- Long lasting

- Didn't smudge easily

- Waterproof

- Come with a brush

-  Contain Vitamin E

Cons:

- A little bit strange to wear this alone if you have dark eyebrows (only for the Light brown shade)

Repurchase? of course I will, this pencil is very affordable and have a good quality. Gonna collect them all.

Topshop Depth Lipstick Review

I always want to find a lipstick with dark color for a  "Vampy" look. No one would sell this kind of color because women and girls here prefer bright, pinky, sweet, or maybe girly lips color in my town, so I have to find it in other city. When holiday to Singapore I visit Chanel cosmetic's counter but I was in a rush that time so I forgot to find vampy lipstick, I purchased Chanel CC Cream and a lipstick in Seduisante(a beautiful rosy pink color).

Fall season remind me of dark lips. At an online shop sell various kind of lipstick and at last I found what I always searching for, a dark purple lipstick! Topshop lipstick in Depth. With no more considering, I ordered. My package arrived and I'm so excited. Let's see..

no flash

with flash

As you can see the color is really dark and almost black without flash, it's a stunning dark plum but not burgundy because it has no red or pink notes. This start with sheer texture and able to built as you desire, has no velvet nor matte finish as described and would give an uneven because it tends to sit in crack of your lips. I recommend to exfoliate and moisturize your lips before use. It goes well contrast for pale skin but I think it suits darker skin tone too.

This gorgeous and stunning color could create vampy look. It is great for going out, night out and works well with black outfit to create a stylish look.

Oh, I have a tips here. If you don't want to be too dark and bold, bloat with a tissue and the result is matte and not too dark like my picture below

or you could use it like as lips stain, just apply thin layer and blend with your fingertips. This will be wearable for everyday

I love this lipstick because it's moisturised my lips and not drying. I would use this colour to create a new makeup tutorial video. Do you like this colour? Would you give it a try?

Garnier Double Action Charcoal Black Foam Review

Pollution is one of the main cause of skin damaging. Cars, vehicles, industrial factory is everywhere that you can not hide from unless you live in a healthy village that have no cars, only bicycle and many trees and flora(forest). Pollution may speed up your skin aging process, that's pretty scary isn't it? So if you want to prevent skin damaging by the pollution, you should wash your face regularly everyday and exfoliate twice a week.

 

Okay let's back to the subject. I was shopping in a supermarket and found something interesting at the facial cleanser case, yes! Garnier Double Action Charcoal Black Foam, I feel like to give it a try. I've never seen a black facial cleanser before, most of the facial cleanser I've ever used is white or transparent. It is black because it contains vegetal charcoal, usually are ashy black. It known that could absorb toxin, poison, and other chemicals from your body. In this case I could make a conclusion that vegetal charcoal could help you absorb the toxin and poison caused by the pollution on your skin.

 

The next active ingredient is Emblica, known as Indian Gooseberry. It contains high amount of vitamin C which has the function of skin lightening.

Well this is the product

 The packaging is yellow with black cap, simple like other facial cleanser.

 

The foam is ashy black color but if you keep rubbing it transform into white rich creamy foam. It has a very rich and creamy texture. And the fragrance smells good.

 

 

 

I like it so much because the richness of the foam could deeply clean your pore. After wash away with water, my skin instantly feel fresh and clean. As for skin lightening maybe it needs more time to achieve it. It didn't cause any breakouts since I used it. Will you give it a try too?

Zino Bubble Mask Review

Since I just finished my eyelid surgery I was not allowed to wash my face as usual for one week, my eyes was forbid to touched with water and shampooing should be in the salon. Because of the reason my dead skin and black or white head was so obvious. My face was absolutely dull.

I found Zino Bubble Mask in online-shop, it says that Zino could clean pore deeply and remove black or white head painlessly. Wow! Really? I need it! Then I purchased it immediately.

Pore Cleansing Treatment in 5 minutes
Developed by Korean Professional Dermatologist and authorized to manufacture. ZINO Bubble Mask is a deep cleansing mask for blackheads and whiteheads. The technology – Oxygen Molecule can remove impurities from pores without stimulation. It offers deep cleansing with soft bubbles and controls oil balance, prevents skin from being glossy with excess sebum and provides the feeling of freshness. It helps absorption of activated ingredients and presents a smooth and moist skin texture. It is also applicable for daily cleansing.

LIKE pore care!

• Get rid of blackheads painlessly
• Clear up whitehead
• Get smaller pores
• Prevent the pores from becoming bigger
• Effective oil control

Main ingredients are Lemon extract, Papaya extract, and Lavender extract. 

Application is very easy, after cleansing you face pump generous amount on your finger(it's gel formed) and gently apply it on your T-zone, I apply it all over my face because I know my pore was clogged, haha.. After a few seconds, the translucent gel turns into bubbles! Wow that's really fun. Your skin will suddenly feel fresh, the gel has nice citrus-y smell. Leave the mask for 5 minutes, then rub your face gently with your fingertips after that wash your face with warm water. Don't leave the mask for too long on your face cause it will dry you skin.

Well the results is my skin really feel refreshed and smoother though my blackhead still on my nose, maybe it need time for the blackhead like other reviewers said. You may use the mask 3-4 times a week for serious blackhead treatment and 1-2 times a week for deep pore cleansing.

I love this product, it makes my pore tighten and smooth my skin, I feel gooood~

I really recommend this for who have blackhead troubled and oily skin.

Quick Acnes Vanishing Secrets

Acnes become the number 1 enemy for flawless looking skin (including me, I hate it so much!). Even my skin now begin to drying but acnes still don't wanna let go of me, haha.. Don't know why my face pop out a lot of big acnes and my skin became so dry last month, I'm so stressed of thinking how am I gonna vanish it. If you squeeze the acnes, it will become spot and that's really hard to clear. I tried many ways, I didn't squeeze and even touch it! but it still can't be cleared.

Then I remembered one secret weapon to vanish those ugly acnes, OXY (Benzoyl Peroxide). There are two choice for OXY:

• OXY 5

For Mild Pimples.
Contains 5% Benzoyl Peroxide to kill acne bacteria on the skin and in the pores.
Helps dry excessive oil & unclog pores.
Prevent new pimples from forming.

Greaseless and odorless.

• OXY 10

For Severe Acne.
For more stubborn cases that do not respond to mild acne treatment.
Contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide to kill acne bacteria on the skin and in the pores.
Helps dry excessive oil & unclog pores.
Prevent new pimples from forming.
Greaseless and odorless.

Directions:
Wash skin thoroughly and dry well. Shake well before using. Dab on OXY smoothing it into oily pimple areas of face and neck. Apply once daily initially, then twice a day or as directed by a physician.

I purchased OXY 5 because it's neither too strong nor too drying. If you want a quicker vanishing you have to purchase OXY 10 but you must prepare to use product which really hydrating because OXY 10 is too  strong and can cause skin dehydrated or dry. I use Egyptian Magic Cream to moisture my skin.

After 3 nights of using, my acnes fade. Amazing right?

Hope this little secret will help you... Thanks for reading.

My Eyelid Surgery (DST)

"Les yeux sont le miroir de l’âme"  means the eyes are the mirror of soul. Eyes are really important, without eyes we can't see this amazing world. We should be grateful for having given eyes by God. I feel guilty for not taking good care of my eyes, playing games and computer for too long caused my eyes nearsightedness.

As for beauty, I always try my best to achieve better look. Many girls wish to have beautiful eyes, so am I. My eyelids are not twins, they are sisters! one is double eyelid and the other one is single eyelid so I decided to have an eyelid suture.

before (with makeup)

after (without makeup)

after (without makeup)

The suture technique (also called DST) is considered a temporary surgery for some patients and has a much quicker recovery period that the incisional technique, but has less predictable results.

About the Suture Technique

The crease is created using surgical thread that is carefully placed in the eyelid. The thread is inserted through tiny incisions that heal very quickly. The thread remains in the eyelid permanently and compresses the eyelid skin to create a crease. Patients can return to work or school the day after surgery as long as they are comfortable with the possibility of mild bruising and swelling that subsided in a few days. While the suture technique is appealing because of it’s shorter recovery time, there are some drawbacks that patients need to consider. Also, it not an ideal technique for patients who are older or who have thick skin.

• Pros of the Suture Technique

1. quick recovery time – return to work or school the day after surgery
2. reversible – if not happy with the way the crease looks, threads can be removed

• Cons of the Suture Technique

1. possibility of crease asymmetry
2. possibility of the crease not forming well in one or both eyes
3. possibility of the crease falling out over time
4. not appropriate for who have extra skin in the eyelids
5. not appropriate for who have thick skin or puffy upper eyelids

I hope mine won't falling out over time so that I don't have to go for surgery again.

My Fatloss Secret

Look at model's picture wondering if I could have this kind of figure too. Good figures always look nice in clothes, it even give ++ point if you wear bikinis! Which girls do not want herself to look attracting?

I was lazy and slack when I am still a student. Every morning my father prepared a glass of full cream milk with milo, many cookies and bread with cheese for my breakfast. At school I lunch 2 portion of instant noodles with soft-boiled eggs(yummy). No workout or doing some sports. My body become fuller and fuller. Look at myself in the mirror really make me sad. :(

 My friend persuade me to go workout in fitness center with him, he paid for me. Two weeks we went to workout together and I see no result, but my body become so fresh. I didn't eat rice, I just eat vegetables, fruit, and some meat. I was 55kg that time, 2 months diet make me lose 5kg. I fall sick and fever for 2weeks, my mum worried about me and insisted me go to workout.

After few months my weight is remain 50kg, I'm so happy. But this still isn't my ideal weight, I tried to do this diet again and no results. Then I tried to take weight lost pills. I tried so many kind of fatloss pills but none of them works. I got interesting with Lida DaiDaiHua because it got so many testimonials and before after picture, sounds amazing and seems guaranteed! Then I try it.

After 2 weeks I consumed this medicine, I lost 5kg! Really amazing from 50kg to 45kg only 2 weeks, no workout and diet. I got my ideal weight and figure although my mum and friends said that I'm too skinny. I stop consume it. One year later I feel that I became fat again because I didn't control my food diet. I want to purchase Lida again, the seller said Lida already stop the market because too many fake Lida. So I didn't purchase.

Then my cousin introduce me Acai Berry, this one did the same as Lida. In 2 weeks I lose 5kg. Acai berry has a lot of benefits, my skin become smooth too!

Now that Acai Berry become my diet supplement.

Change Yourself Because You Worth it

Have you ever been dumped by a boy/girl you like? How is the feeling?

• Sad
• Hurt
• Heartbreak

Love, Marriage, and Divorce

"Love is blind"

"Love is patient"

"Love is amazing"

"Love is freedom"

"Love is respectful"

Love could be definite into many thoughts.

I find that 20% people that I know were hurt by "love" but some of them still won't give up on "love". They try their best to achieve their couple's heart to love them like they used to be. 40% were betrayed or betraying, and 10% found that their relationship got so many negative problems so they don't want to go on anymore.

Marriage is happiness, but when couple lives together for a long time the "love feeling" will slowly fade away and become "no feeling". Not all couple, but many of them do. True love is hard to find nowadays.

Divorce become so popular in my country (maybe in all countries). Fall in love in younger age, married by accident (we call it "MBA"), and being betrayed or betraying are the main cause of divorce, because of immature thinking caused the divorce path. One of my cousin divorced after one year marriage, she birth a lovely daughter. Because of her ex-husband is unemployed(too lazy to find a job and lazy to working) and he even didn't care for his wife and daughter's financial needs. After gave birth, my cousin have to work hard and earn money herself to feed her baby and her husband. She decide to divorce, her decision was agreed by her parent and family. Now that she found a new lover, a friend of her ex-husband. In my thought the man is same with her ex-husband, I tried to advise her but she doesn't want to hear my opinion. I hope that my thought wasn't real, I just want her(my cousin) to be happy. Is that love?

What am I going to do?

A real man should have a good income to let his wife and child have a happy life.

I'm confused...

BRTC Jasmine Waterful CC Cream Review

Hello beauty!

Recently I fall in love with CC cream because of Chanel's. I haven't review about this baby yet. Chanel CC cream become my everyday makeup routine needs.

I discovered BRTC (one of my favourite Korean brands) released Jasmine Waterful CC cream, no more consider I purchased it. BRTC is science based cosmetic brand applied to sensitive skin in a safe and efficient manner, no animal tested, dermatologist approved and certified botancial ingredients.


Let's see...
This CC cream suits for all skin types and sensitive skin. The main formula are Jasmine extract, arbutin, adenosine, grape extract, and blue phyto complex.

Jasmine extract treating dry, brittle, or dehydrated skin, delivers moisture fully
Arbutin achieves skin-lightening or whitening
Adenosine for anti-ageing skin care
Grape extract reduce the severity of skin cancer
Blue phyto complex soothe and heal stressed out skin

As for the sunscreen is SPF50+,PA+++
The higher SPF the more oily it will be. I feel a little bit oily on my skin when I use it.

Swatch:
Unlike Chanel CC cream, this cc cream come with white shade with a hint of lilac. Does it suit with my skin colour? Don't be afraid because of the white shade. The white is speckled with tiny color capsule. Color capsule breaks by rolling and covers to be natural skin tone also correct the skin tone.

Overall I don't really like this CC cream because it's so sheer and has no coverage ability and I look like not wearing anything at all.

What is CC Cream?

CC cream, also known as Color Control cream, or Color Correcting cream, is a refined BB cream created and developed in Korea. BB (Blemish Balm) cream was originally formulated in Germany and has in recent years gained popularity in Asia, and is also gaining popularity Europe and North America. BB cream is a popular product in Asia, used to provide natural-looking skin coverage. As a multitasking beauty product, CC cream was developed to retain all the benefits of BB cream with added nourishing ingredients whilst reducing the appearance of skin redness or sallowness (often with light-diffusing particles.

CC cream is reputed to include sun protection, along with better skincare properties (such as anti-aging, hydration, blemish prevention etc.) and treatment of uneven skin tones than BB creams. Some users find it to have a lighter texture than BB cream, which allows for smoother application with a less oily finish. Coverage can vary greatly among the different brands, and are more often than not minimal when compared to BB creams. Some tend to work better as primers rather than a replacement for foundation.

What is BB Cream?

BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, beblesh balm (apparently because of a trademark in Korea on the word "blemish"), and in Western markets, beauty balm. It is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia, although larger beauty brands are increasingly introducing BB creams to Western markets.

BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage.

History

What became BB cream was originally formulated in the 1960s in Germany by dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek to protect her patients' skin after surgery. Introduced to South Korea and Japan in 1985 – where healthy-looking, porcelain skin is heavily prized – the cream was hailed as "the secret of Korean actresses," and was heavily endorsed by Korean celebrities.

Formulations

Christine Schrammek Blemish Balm from 1960s

BB creams come in a variety of different formulations.Because Korean companies focused initially on the Korean and East Asian markets, they are offered in a limited number of hues. Instead of offering multiple shades for different skin tones, most formulas are designed to oxidize to match the user's skin tone. The skin-whitening properties of the cream, as sold in the Asian market, are an important element in its popularity.

The cream is promoted as a multi-tasker, an all-in-one treatment, but Korean women mostly use it as an alternative to foundation, especially Western foundations that tend to be too heavy for their taste. The coverage is often mineral-based, and is intended to both cover and treat blemishes such as acne, sun spots and age spots. It also has anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Several contain hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. The Huffington Post reports that some companies say BB creams have skin-regenerating properties, though one dermatologist – Dr. Jason Rivers of the University of British Columbia's Department of Dermatology and Skin Science – expressed skepticism that a product that is not retinoid-based could do this.

Surprise! Early birthday gift from my friend, Hendra

I don't realize that my birthday is coming soon. Yesterday my best friend came to my shop and had a little chit-chat with me. When he's gotta go, he gave me a small shopping bag and said: "here, this is for you", I looked at him and asked: "what is this?", "a birthday present for you, hope you like it", he answered.

I was so surprised and just say thanks to him.

After he left for a few minutes, I carefully opened the gift with a beautiful flowery wrapping paper and a simple goldie ribbon.

JUARA Sweet Black Tea and Rice Facial Moisturizer Review

My moisturizer at stores are out of stock and one day I received a sample of JUARA skin care from Zalora. I was afraid for testing the products at the first time because I never heard and know this brand before but I read the brochure that say:

JUARA IS 100% VEGETARIAN. NO ANIMAL TESTING.

PARABEN-FREE. CONTAINS NO ARTIFICIAL COLORANTS,

SULFATES, OR PHTHALATES. 

so I have guts to give it a try.

JUARA means Winner/Champion in Indonesian, the products based on Balinese and famous Indonesian Jamu treatment and made in USA. Below is the story of JUARA skin care

How to get rid of Acnes and Spot

Many people hate acnes and blemishes especially girls who love to always have flawless and beautiful skin. Most people find themselves suffering from an acne outbreak at some point, whether it's due to hormones or stress. Contrary to popular belief, pimples don't mean your skin is dirty or unclean — in fact, over-cleansing can irritate your skin even more.

Acne is a common human skin disease it occurs most commonly during adolescence, and often continues into adulthood. In adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in testosterone, which accrues during puberty, regardless of sex. For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear or at the very least decreases by age 25. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will carry this condition well into their thirties, forties, and beyond.

When I'm in secondary school (13 years old), my face begin to pop out pimples at my forehead and comedoes(blackhead) on my nose. In that time I still don't know how to take good care of my skin, I have no skincare routine, just wash my face when take shower with body foam (no facial foam too, haha). After shower I used to scratch my face with towel and I love to squeeze that annoying things with bobby pin. You guys know that, my skin condition became sooooo perfectly disaster! That condition continued until I graduated from senior high school(SMA). I start working and begin to use makeup also want to have a good skincare routine. Looking beautiful girls in magazine and always imagine to have flawless skin like them, I am so sad why my face is so horrible. Everyday I searched a lot how people get rid of acnes and blemishes. At last, I already get rid of pimples and blemishes, and I wanna share with you guys. ;)
