[Miscellaneous] Never stop learning

Hello ♥
Now, I have plenty time to update my blog and I have mood to do so >.<  It's pretty nostalgic. I miss the time I can type anything related to makeup (and other beauty stuff related) and bring my time to do complete review based on my experience and a lil bit of knowledge.

I wanna inform you all, if you wanna find me and ask me things about latest product review I posted in my Instagram or Facebook account, you can chat me towards message or you can find me on ask.fm. My ask.fm account isn't such an active account but the notification is keep being active, so I can get your question ASAP.

    

So.. Never stop learning. Yes, I do. It reminds me the time I blogged back then. How lovable it was when I typed anything I wanna to tell in a blog. I like to write and type things randomly till today. It could be so hard to write good things in good grammar, well since I'm not really good in linguistic. However, I know I'm blessed that I have strong principle to learn any interesting thing for good. I write quotes, random thought and/or anything on my personal Facebook account and I create a pic shorter sentences on Instagram. I miss every moment when I can write things on my mind. It's like I can do it naturally or it could be done without my consent LOL.

One of my random thoughts in Instagram

I actually don't get any proper education from a pro makeup school.  I mostly use internet as basic source, I have my experience when I got the product and I use internet (again) to find anything relatable to my experience and such. And you know what I got? I got new friends and many of them went to pro makeup school. We talked many things and I learned things from them as friends, not clients or students.

See? Now you all know that I am actually incapable to be heard as a person who has proper knowledge about makeup stuffs. I currently learn everything practically and verbally. Do I have any plan to go to pro makeup school? Of course. I don't know how it would be. I'm currently working with my parents. I haven't asked about those things and I don't know how to tell them because my dad is a person who wanna make everything he spends is useful. I'm afraid that he doesn't allow me to since I'm not interested of being a Makeup Artist. Damn it

SERIOUSLY? Yes, I do! I am not interested to work in that field as my main job because I'm not patient. Let me tell you my point.

I am practical but I'm not a person who can be damn so patient to stand in hours. I don't really wanna spend so many hours to wait for clients. I can deal with annoying people since I get much experiences while working in parent's wholesale clothing shops. FYI, They run some small shops but pleasurable and stable. And, I'm their oldest children plus my siblings are all kids. So, it's not surprising that I don't work much beside going to shops and deal with people everyday.

I am currently interested in no any other beauty and makeup related beside beauty makeup. To conclude, I'm currently not into editorial, sfx any other kinda makeup, even skincare knowledge. I'm currently feeling much interested in makeup products and techniques.

Plus, I have some plans to do for my future. I actually wanna have my own makeup brand and F&B stall. It doesn't have to be a monster one as long as it is pleasurable. And I know it needs a lot of effort. Money is needed but knowledge and have a good sense about market are much important.

That's why I am still kinda fuzzy when it comes into money. I don't wanna spend money to anything I don't really need or really want to have. I'm sorry but I'm not as rich as Kylie Jenner, a person who have much money to multiply her money by her fame even the products are overrated (sorry, not sorry). I should save my own before multiplying it :/ I don't really think I would ask my parents to do so..

Credit

But I keep this principle for years. It's actually my parent's principle and it's getting into me:
1. Learning and keeps learning
People are naturally good and wise because they don't stop learning. I can't stop learning it since makeup stuffs and beauty makeup technique is deep, it's not just about applying essential kits on your face. Keep learning will make you being better.

I'm currently learning color theory and how to adjust color for complexion. Yeah, it's depressing yet interesting though. It needs a lot of effort and trial-and-error process to understand xD

Credit

2. Don't learn something from wrong source.
Doing mistakes are OK. We all do these things many times before we can do something right. I keep believing in it. But, choosing to learn something from wrong sources is not wise at all. Do you wanna know why? It would make us have wrong knowledge. This quote is pretty relatable. You are the one pouring the water, you know what kinda water you wanna pour into the glass ;D

Credit

3. Sharing is caring.
Since I don't share much on blog anymore and more into a closed discussion group in Facebook, it could be hard to share things. I would like to share things I know and learn things that I don't know in a circle. Because of my willingness on learning, I can meet some nice pro MUAs and they aren't hesitate to help at all. It makes me happy that I could learn without being feel intimidated XD
Plus, I can help sharing good things to people who don't understand much about this stuff.

Credit

And I believe that these principle will bring me to make it one day! ^o^

To conclude, I wanna be a beautypreneur beside being entrepreneur XD I just wanna share my love towards cosmetic. I hope I could do!

So, what do you think about makeup and how it works in your life? Do you have any plan in any beauty related stuff?

Tell me if you do! ♥

Thank you for reading ♥♥

[SPONSORED REVIEW] Whitening Toner from Sarange, Sinseonhan

Hello! ♥
It's been so long to update my blog. It might be hard to keep you all reading my blog after being so hard to be active *cry*

So, Sociolla gave me this beautiful package on June. Damn pretty ♥

I'm surprised of getting this one since it's a whitening toner from Korea! XD. This one is my second toner from Korea that I have ever tried. My first one is History of Whoo Gongjinhyang. I don't compare these two since I'm run out of Gongjinhyang >_<

Sinseonhan (Natural Phyto Whitening Toner) is specially made to enhance beauty of skin. It's also made for all skin type. How can it be so great?

As their official site claims that it contains Aloe, Lavender, Chamomile and Purslane as their natural ingredients, I think this is good! Plus, it helps you to  balance skin PH level and remove dead skin, beside moisturizing and brightening your skin.

And I've tried this for 1.5 months, so let me bring you some review of this product:

♥♥♥ Packaging (4/5):
It's a tall and thick mild white plastic bottle plus a solid white cap with pump in it. Yes, it comes with pump and the pump itself is bouncy, so it's easy to control the amount you wanna take. I actually love how secure the packaging is. The only thing I don't really like is the size. It's too tall so less travel friendly.

When I took a holiday trip to USA and Canada, I poured some of the products into a smaller plastic with pump so I can use it.

♥♥♥ Color, Scent and Texture (5/5):
It is colorless. It's so watery and it easily absorbs into my skin. The scent is kinda calming and flowery. I feel I can smell Chamomile scent and I love it!

♥♥♥ Ingredients (3/5):
Internet doesn't provide its complete list so it's kinda hard to tell, but i would believe this product is good since it feels nothing wrong. It is like typical Korean skincare toner, it would be so watery, transparent into mild colors and calming scent, so I hope the ingredients itself is fine.

Beside it claims it has Aloe, Lavender, Chamomile and Purslane, it also contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is good for moisturizing and hydrating skin. I have (dehydrated) oily skin so I need something to hydrate my skin but it doesn't clog my pores or makes my face breakout. This one works well.

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (5/5):
As i mentioned before in ingredients, it works well! It really works like it claims. Too bad I have no before photos. However, I believe it works since it helps me to remove dead skin in nose area. It also hydrates my skin well and it doesn't bring my face a nightmare!! ♥  Muchie love~
I don't know if it helps me to brighten my skin but it helps to repair my skin as well. I don't need to cover my face with foundation as much as I used to be. I can wear less foundation. How can I not fall into this?

For the price itself, it is sold for Rp. 269.900 (USD 21). I don't think it's pricey since it has huge amount product (130 ml) and it's pretty affordable for korean skincare line.

♥♥♥ Pros:

1. It absorbs into my skin perfectly

2. It is watery and it has natural scent so it makes a great toner 

3. It works as it claims. ♥

4. They're easy to find, especially Sociolla offers this line on the site

♥♥♥ Cons:

1. It doesn't put complete ingredients list.

2. It has kinda bulky packaging so if you wanna travel around, pump some products to smaller container ;D

If you like to use it, you can use it by using cotton. Pump it twice onto cotton and apply on againsts grativity XD Easy!

Psst, if you wanna get some discount, you can use FLOIRESAN50 in Sociolla when you wanna checkout!

Here's my review about this product. Thank you for reading ♥
