Sorry for lack of updating!

Hello, Lovely! ♡ I am so happy that LONG public holiday has come! I wanna feel relaxed for a while ;)

I'll have a trip to 2 places in Indonesia. They're Bali and Lombok. I have never touched my feet in Lombok. So, I'm quite excited to visit both since both of them are very popular because of its prettiness. I will update them later :) So, I don't update my blog for 2 weeks or more.

I'm sorry it has been that long because.. my laptop is also broken T______T I've prepared new post for you but it is suddenly broken. I need to repair it but all of the service center is in holiday :( So sad..

So, I have nothing to say beside sorry for lack of update and enjoy your holiday, Lovely! ♡

[Review] My current love, Bioderma ♥

Hello, Lovely! ♥

Back to another product reviews, I wanna review my currently "in love" product. They're somewhat cool for me. They're great products and are safe for sensitive skin! It should be your favorite if you're in difficulty to find right products.

It is Bioderma. Do you know Bioderma? It is one of famous skincare brand from France. :D

Bioderma Laboratories is a privately owned French pharmaceutical company that specialises in medication for dermatological and hair / scalp conditions, as well as for Pediatry and cell regeneration. - Wikipedia

Does it sounds promising? :P

One of the most popular product from Bioderma is Sensibio H2O. Sensibio H2O is a non-rinse product and it won't leave any residue on your skin. Moreover. this product is so watery, no alcohol and no paraben. What a great product! :D

And, Bioderma is now available in Indonesia. I was not into skincare thingy for years until I got too much black heads on my face. So, I tried to find many kinds of skincare but I am still very picky! Because my blackheads and acne will always come when I use wrong products, especially facial wash.

Well, I've used Sensibio H2O for months and I love it!

I was ran out of facial foam and make up remover, so I decided to buy both of them. I asked my mom to buy them since she was going to mall. I asked her to purchase Bioderma Sébium Gel moussant and Sébium H2O since my skin type is oily one. However, I forgot I had purchased Sensibio H2O one --" *Stupid Me* So, I have two make up remover right now.

And these were the products I had:

They're simple.. So simple. Let's review them:

First review is Sébium Gel Moussant:

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):

It's quite tall and not too bulky bottle. It is on thick clear plastic with green pump. However, it is "still" very tall to bring it everywhere (I mean, it is not for travelling purpose :P). Nothing special on this packaging because it really looks like a dermatology skin product. :3

♥♥♥ Description and Ingredients (3/5): 

They have clear statements about their products! They put it on 2 languages, French and English. However, the English one is covered by a label. The label is in Bahasa.

And since the ingredients list is difficult to capture, I will type it:

WATER (AQUA), SODIUM COCOAMPHOACETATE, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, METHYLPROPANEDIOL, DISODIUM EDTA, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHASTEARATE, LACTIC ACID, LAURETH-2, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).

They have turquoise color but I don't know which "ingredient" makes it turn into turquoise. I tried to find its ingredients on Google and got some from Makeup Alley and CosDNA. Based on those site, I found "Ginkgo Biloba Extract". Perhaps it is because that extract, that is why the product has turquoise color.

If you compare it to those site, they have many differences on the list -_-" Dunno which one is true?

"Paraben Free" is labelled on mine. Perhaps, those site are true ones. Duh -_-" But I've asked Bioderma Indonesia on their Facebook Pages and they said that the product is Paraben free. So, which one is true? Meh :/

♥♥♥ Hygiene Level (5/5):

Simple. It is wrapped on plastic. If the plastic is torn, no need to buy. It is exactly hygienic because it has (roll? no! glide? ah what kind of pump it is!) simple pump. If you want to use this foam, just turn left :D

  

♥♥♥ Scent (3/5):

The scent is soooo medicine :s I don't like it.. It has similar scent to Sébium H2O one. On Sébium H2O, Ginkgo Biloba is written in the ingredients. Yep, it perhaps a "ginkgo" scent.

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (3/5):

It is quite ordinary facial foam. The only special thing is no foam. As my pic above, I put it on my hand and pour little water (and sure, I blended it). It doesn't produce any foam. It is good.

Most of all foam is from Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES). Based on this site, it can harm the vision of young people. If you find warnings on many shampoos and foams, you will know it why.   

Based on the ingredients, they don't have SLS. Such a good product (and perhaps, they're into organic product) :)

For Period After Usage (PAO) is in 6 months and the expiry date is printed on the bottom of the bottle. Do't forget to check its PAO and expiry date ;)

The whole result is 3.5. Such a small result! The gel foam is quite good and leaves cool effect on my skin, but I will think twice to repurchase. :/ But if you want to find SLS free facial foam, grab it! ;)

And let's go to the second review:

P.S: I will review both Sensibio H2O and Sébium H2O.

   

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):

The packaging reminds me of many dermatology skin products. They are in simple and clear plastic and they are not into decorations or cutey packaging. They're quite bulky and they're not travel-friendly. Need their travel-size product? They provide some. ;) The smallest size is in 100ml. You are safe to bring it everywhere!

And every line has their own color. Light red one is for Sensibio (sensitive skin) and Green is for Sébium (oily/combination skin).

 

Ingredients:

Sensibio H2O:

WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE.

Sébium H2O:

WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, SODIUM CITRATE , ZINC GLUCONATE, COPPER SULFATE, GINKGO BILOBA LEAF EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, CITRIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM).

♥♥♥ Description and Ingredients (4/5): 

Just like the gel moussant, they're such having clear statements about their products! They put it on 2 languages, French and English and the English one is covered by a label. The labels are definitions in Bahasa. Uh yey. For the ingredients itself, they are slightly different. 

If you think that Sébium one has coloring, you are wrong! They have no coloring here. It is blue since it has Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract. Based on this site, Ginkgo leaf can help protect skin from redness and inflammation during exposure to UVA/UVB light in a lab setting.

The only thing I don't like is "Fragrance". I don't know why they put it on Sébium one -_-"

P.S: Do take a note on their PADs (Period After Opening). They have different PADs. Sensibio H2O is in 12 months and Sébium is in 9 months.

The blue looks pretty here *o*. No, it's not blue. It's turquoise. 

♥♥♥ Hygiene Level (5/5):

They must be well-know of their hygiene product. They have quite good seal on Sensibio and Sébium H2O. The seal is quite strong but it's quite easy to remove the seal.  And they also have tight caps. They don't let you pour their products everywhere ;)

♥♥♥ Scent (4/5):

For the scents, they have strong natural scents. For Sensibio, it is so "Cucumber" and Sébium is so "Ginkgo Biloba". If you have ever taken any Ginkgo medicine, you will find Sébium has that kind of scent :3 Unfortunately, I don't like its scent because so "medicine" :/

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (3/5):
Since it is non-rinse cleanser, it must need more time to remove all of the make up. As you can see those photos, they are not cleaning as much as oil-based remover one. It needs to swipe 3-4 times on your face.
But don't worry, it won't leave any residue anymore. And no need to rinse! ^3^ It freshens my skin.

My whole result is 4. Nice meh? :D
But well, you need to pay it in a high price. They're quite expensive but they're that worthy!!

P.S: Don't forget to check its expiry date ;) It is embossed on the bottom of the bottle.

And so, if you want to find them, you can buy it on Guardian stores in Jabodetabek, Bali, Surabaya and more. You can ask the availability on their Facebook Pages and Official Twitter :)

For the price, I was not sure because I lost my bill  -_-" But each products is approximately Rp. 200.000 (USD 17). Quite expensive, but they are worthy :3

And last but not the least, thanks for reading ♥♥♥

[Tutorial + FOTD] Transform myself to be my Idol, but it seems fail! :x

Hello, Lovely! ♥

I rarely post since I'm not really good on makeup. My skill is still very noob :/ And so.. Dunno how to share it well. Yes, I know I'm not a perfect beauty blogger, that is why I don't want to call myself as a beauty blogger. I do blogging and it is into beauty stuffs, and it doesn't make me to call myself as a beauty blogger. *sob

Nah, today, I wanna post a makeup tutorial. It is not perfect and actually, I don't want to post it. For me, the result is kinda weird and NOT "ME". But well, I think it's not too bad to show you the result.

For me, one of the biggest challenge on makeup look/tutorial is imitating other person's make up. Because everybody has unique feature on their face, so we can't imitate "the whole" them (for no editing one :P). So, this is one of makeup inspired. My inspiration is my all-time favorite singer. :D

Guess who?

Let me give you some clues!

1. She is from U.S.A and She is a well known pop singer in early 2000s. Her first album is "... Baby, One More Time". 

Credit

2. She gained much popularity and she got "Princess of Pop" as her honorific title. One of controversial singer and she was also called as a "sex bomb" because of her sexy costumes and danced seductively :P. "Overprotected", one of her singles in 2nd album, has 2 versions because its popularity.

Credit

3. Being so controversial because she is "naked" and had innumerable diamonds on her body on her music video, Toxic.

Credit

4. She was hiatus for years because of her up and down personal life. She was back in 2008 and she released her latest album in October 2013. Her single on the latest album is somewhat catchy and has quite good meaning. :P

Credit

Yes, she is Britney Spears. She is my super duper favorite singer!! Her songs, her dance, her style and herself. She is sensational but I know, she is being real. People may know her as a wild and dumb Hollywood stars, but it is not for me. I don't think she is. She is a remarkable pop singer. She is charming. No wonder and she is quite talented. Who doesn't know her on early 2000s? ;)

And this photo is showing her tanned make up. I tried to imitate her but it fails. -___-

Credit

Let's jump into the make up tutorials:

And the result....

My gosh! So weird -_- Looks so ugly and not "me" here T_____T

I captured more photos and edited them in different way.

Which one is better? Duh, looks I'm so unconfident here. T_T What do you think, Lovely? ♥

Gimme your opinions on comment box since I wanna know your perspective. XD

Thanks for reading, Lovely! ♥

[Review + Swatch + FOTD] Being Colorful by Maybelline Color Show Collection ♥

Hello, Lovely! ♥
Yeah, I'm freeee!! Fiuhhhh~ I mean, I have a quite long holiday and I don't have to do some assignments too much. Tehee! So, my blog is less updating day by day. And being busy because of college life is so boring T_T So, I am so happy I've got my holiday.

As I've put it on my May Haul (Ok, I know I am so late to review. Meh!), I will review all of Maybelline Color Show Collection I have.

Here, let me remind you which products I have and sure, its review! :

1. Crayon Kohl:

They are available in 7 colors in Indonesia, but I took 3 liners for my private stuffs because these colors are much more attractive XD. Don't ask me about other 4 colors. I do remember nothing beside gold one. :/

♥♥♥ Packaging (3/5):

The packaging is kinda simple. They have no box, have no any cute/unique things to package this product since they are really affordable. They just wrap it in plastic!. The details about color, ingredients and other important things is printed on the plastic. Nothing special but it is well packed! Moreover, it is also travel-friendly since it isn't bulky at all :)

And, I couldn't take photos of the ingredients because they are hard to capture --" So, I don't post them all *sorry :(

But, you don't have to worry. Maybelline is very popular since it is cruelty-free and doesn't use Paraben for their products! *salute..

#03 Ocean Blue, #01 Spicy Orange and #06 Noble Purple. They're pretty bold colors! Ooops, they are stated as waterproof liner and has intense color in all day. I was pretty curious, so I don't think twice. Grab them!

Such beautiful colors *o*

♥♥♥ Color(5/5):

If you love bold liners, you won't skip them! They have bold and intense colors. I do strongly agree of its statement! Let's swipe them on my finger. They're intense in a swipe!

All of them have shimmers BUT the shimmer isn't like a disco ball. They have pretty shimmers. Much love! ♥

Let's go into the tests!

♥♥♥ Longevity (5/5):

If you ask me about its longevity, I should say I loveeee it! Why? It stays on my oily eyelid whole day! Yay~ I have tried them and I simply love it. 

In the waterproof test, they prove their "statement". They are "real" waterproof products. I tried to rub it hard and it didn't get removed too much :p It stays on my hand and my eyelid. 

For smudgeproof test, I use baby oil and it is so easy to be removed. Actually, I don't really mind since I rarely have oily lids. But if you have very oily eyelid, you should avoid this liner.

*duh the resolution -_- need to recheck my phone camera

♥♥♥ Texture (3/5):

The texture itself is almost perfect. Alright, almost. It is because the liner doesn't glide well on my "full make up" eyelid. It glides very well on my hand and tear line, but it will be slightly difficult to glide on my eyelid when I have applied my complexion make up (make up base, foundation, concealer and loose powder).

Beware! It is so fragile and it makes the kohl breaks easily -_-" 

The finishing result on my eyes! I combined them all on my eyes and it looks cool for me *o*

Overall result is 4. They're pretty good on my eyes and I love them all. If you ask me to repurchase, I don't think I will repurchase them soon since I rarely use them.

2. Lipstick:
Yeshhhhhhh, new lipstick. LOL. This lipstick is kinda different because I don't purchase bold color one. I bought a nude color one. Here it is, Maybelline Color Show #301 True Toffee.

I love bold colors like red and shocking pink and I have purchased some products like Maybelline Color Sensaational, Clio, Candy Doll and so on.. And I thought it was good to purchase a nude color one. Being nude will never be failed, IKR! This color is one of my nude lipstick beside Canmake Melty Nude Lip #04 Peach Beige. This nude lipstick is different because this nude lipstick has orange shade and it looks nice!!

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):
It looks sophisticated in plastic material. The packaging itself is ordinary but I love the design. It is in black plastic but if you take a look on the first pic, you will find a light orange line. That line indicates the lipstick color. Cool!

♥♥♥ Ingredients (5/5):
I love the ingredients since this lipstick has amazing things in it. It has Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil. Say no to chapped lips ;)

Uuhhhh the color! ♥♥

♥♥♥ Color (5/5):

The color is somewhat pretty on my lips. Pretty pretty so pretty!! I love it because it doesn't look too much and I can use it on my daily make up >_<

Let's see all the shades on my hand, paper and lips :D

It is so pretty on my lips. I swear it! LOL. It conceals my chapped lips (yes, I have chapped lips T_T) and the color turns great. ♥♥

♥♥♥ Longevity (3/5):

Longevity itself is very ordinary. It will be gone if you have something to eat/drink. Need to apply it multiple times. o.O Maybelline isn't good in longevity but the colors are always that great. That is the another reason I wanna purchase more Maybelline Lipsticks beside its affordable price.

♥♥♥ Finishing Effect (5/5):

Since it is into moist look, it has pretty good look. It also has great moisturizing power. My chapped lips doesn't get dry at all :D It helps me to conceal and moist my lips well. ;)

Overall result is 4.4 ♥ It is surprisingly good for drugstore products :3 To repurchase, I think I will grab other Maybelline lipstick later :P

And the last product I purchased from Color Show Collection is:

3. Nail Polish:

For nail polish, I took 2 bottles of nail polish, #215 Keep-up-the-Flame and #503 Denim Dash.

Flame flame flame redddd!

♥♥♥ Packaging (5/5):

I love its packaging. It has simple material in a transparent glass bottle with black plastic cap. It looks.. simple yet cool. It is also not bulky for me since I can grab it on my hand easily. Btw, all of the details are printed on the label and/or the bottle since it is not wrapped in plastic.

♥♥♥ Applicator (5/5):

What a nice applicator! The wand has perfect size, so it won't make me difficult to apply this nail polish. The black brush itself is quite soft and distribute the polish well.

♥♥♥ Colors (3/5):

The colors look great on the bottle, but it is not as cool as expected. I was trying hard to apply it but it doesn't show great colors. I mean, they are great but the color is slightly different from the bottle.

When it dries, the color turns dull .... You can't swipe it once to achieve nice color. The layer is thin, so it needs more than one swipe. I swiped it twice and it was closer to the real color.

As you might see here:

Sorry for untidy nails. I don't know how to shape good nails and I'm always struggle in it. --"

It looks dull, right? -_- The red is not as "flaming" as it is stated :( The blue looks dull, a very dull color.

♥♥♥ Longevity (3/5):

This nail polish is not easily cracked :D However, it doesn't stay too long. The polish is cracked for 3-4 days. Not too bad since I do not into nail thingy >_< . It also doesn't make my nails turn yellowish :3 

Overall result is 3.5. It is not a very good product. I think they need to improve their nail polish line.

And you might ask me a very common question..

"How much are they?"

The answer is: They're really affordable. It is about Rp. 30.000 ($2.5) each product! Everybody was shocked when I told them about the price. They thought it would reached approximately Rp. 75.000 ($7)

or higher. But no, they're freaking cheap!

To bring them home, you can simply find it on drugstores, malls and supermarkets :P They are quite easy to find :D However, I was in difficult to purchase them since they were sold out everywhere and lucky me, I found them on supermarkets :3

And now, let me show you some of my photos with the products ;)

*duh black roots and uneven hair color -_-

*okay, being silly for a while :/

So, here, what do you think about this line? Would you love it? ;)

Thanks for reading, Lovely! ♥
