[SPONSORED REVIEW] Natural and Safe Home Waxing? Try "Cool Waxing Sugar" ♥

Hello, Lovely! ♥ 

Today, I wanna post a review, sponsored one by Black Van Candy, an Instagram based Online Shop which sells Etude House products, Mizzu Eyeliner and Cool Sugar Wax :D

Don't worry, I won't lose my subjective objectiveness here ("subjective" means "my own opinion" and "objectiveness" means being as honest as it has to be. Got it? XD)

Here I wanna share you my new lovely product. It is a sugar wax named "Cool Sugar Wax".

Every time you purchase this product, you will get a wood spatula and 10 cotton sheets :)

It's cute, isn't it? ;)

Yep, 100% natural ingredients. It states about their main ingredients: Sugar and Citric Acid ;)

Btw, I love its packaging. Simple and looks vintage ♥

The instruction. It is in Bahasa :)

Ok, make sure that skin area is dry enough. Don't wet and/or shower your hair before doing this waxing :) Then, let's try!

P.S: Beware. It contains some disturbing-yet-bad quality pics.

1. Prepare Cool Sugar Wax. Oh well, I think it gets hard like a caramel. On the right photo, you can see the "red" circle. It is a stain when I wanted to take some sugar gel for waxing, and it was failed!

Tips: If its form becomes harder like caramel candy, you have to "melt" it by putting this closed jar on medium hot water (or heat it on microwave in medium hot temperature) for 5 minutes or less.

2. Make sure it will change into paste.

3. Take some paste by using wood spatula and apply it thinly on destined location. Make sure to apply it as the hair growth's direction. Don't apply it into too thick layer, it will be very hard to remove.

4. Put cotton sheets on the sugar paste, press it for a while and pull it in the opposite direction of hair growth. It's okay, it doesn't hurt you ;) (I've tried it on my legs and I don't lie :P)

Let's jump into the result:

Sorry the qualities are too bad. Low lighting and not too focused -_- I have to take photography class soon XD What a bad blogger..

And those are the "disturbing pics":

The hair is in there. Looks so disgusting *I also don't want to see, indeed*

My opinion towards this product:

♥♥♥ Texture (3/5):

The texture is quite good since it is a sugar paste. But I don't like its temperature sensitivity. It is easily changed into harder like a candy. Ewh. Need more time to melt this paste.

It also dries very fast, so don't take too long to pull the cotton sheet.

♥♥♥ Scent (4/5):

It smells good. The original one has honey scent, I guess. Actually, I'm not into honey. It is your own preference. Mine? It is good and not too smelly. BTW, Cool Sugar Wax has other flavor. It's Chocolate. You may ask Black van Candy of its availability ^^

♥♥♥ Effectiveness (4.5/5):

It is effective. I feel it removes the hair very well. I don't feel "hairy" anymore and I think it is pulled into the root, so the hair is well removed. However, it won't work for "too" short hair.

♥♥♥ Ingredients (5/5):

It states itself as natural product. Well, it should be obvious since this is homemade product :D. Honestly, I won't reject natural products because of its naturalness ♥

Overall result is  4.2 ♥ This product is good as its goodness. It is simply worth to try and save more money to remove unwanted hair ^^. It can be used for more than 20 times. Oh yes, it has a life span, too. It's usable for a year (12 months).

The price? I think it is quite affordable. It costs Rp. 63.000/jar (USD 6.5) for Original and Rp. 75.000 for Chocolate one. It is 250 ml in a jar ♥

It is affordable, right?

Basically, I love this product because its effectiveness. If you want to try this product, you can contact Black Van Candy as well here:

[MUC + FOTD] IBB Make Up Challenge "FUN MAKE UP ALL ABOUT JAPAN"

Hello, Lovely!
Wuuuh, this month is full of assignments. OHHH MY! I really want to create some looks for submit this make up challenge, I wish I am not late!!

Here is an interesting make up challenge I wanna join:

This make up challenge theme is so interesting because *okay, I guess all of you know about this* I Love Japan! Yeap, Japanese. Whatever it happens to Japan, I will always love this country. Japan is a country I will always like to visit. And I love everything about Japanese food, fashion and beauty things. They are unique, amazing and they can "show" their own uniqueness in many way!

Here, I wanna submit 3 looks. Wut? Yep, I hardly decided to make some looks for this make up challenge. It is surely because too many interesting things about Japan. I can't mention them all! I think I will submit 3 looks in a post. BTW, I don't make their tutorials because of limited time!! *gomen*

Here my first inspiration:

Credit

Western Gothic Girl: Credit

It is "Goshikku Gyaru". What is Goshikku Gyaru? Goshikku Gyaru or Gothic Gal is a gyaru who incorporates the Gothic fashion into her style. It is totally different with Gothic Lolita. Gothic Lolita in Harajuku Style is a Victorian style in Goth look, however Goshikku Gyaru is fiercer and not too much "lace" on their coordinates.

It doesn't into Japanese thingy too much, since it has been influenced by Gothic and Gothic is identically about conspicuously dark, mysterious, exotic, and complex features on your style. And here, I tried to combine these 2 photos on my make up.

This make up will never show how "beautiful" a girl is but how "dark" she is and I think it has strong, fierce and dark image in a same time. That is why I'd like to make my photo like purikura (Japanese photo booth) decoration in Black! It is also different than "Rokku Gyaru". Rokku is cool but it's all about "rock". It's dark but not as dark as Goshikku! I think my Rokku look is much better than Goshikku. -___-

My make up key: Bold eyeliner (not to bold because my eyes are too small!), dramatic lashes, dark red lips and some dots on my nose and below my right eye.

P.S: Another photo without the dots!

My second look:
Recreated Kumi Koda's make up on Driving Hit's cover!

Koda Kumi

But... MY NAILS IS THAT SHORT LA! T___T I can't wear my fake nails because the glue is dried T__T So, no fake nails. And my pose is freaking weird -_- I can't pose like Koda Kumi. She has a very good expression and I make it in  a weird pose. Bleeeh!

My make up is so messy here. T___T The line is difficult to make ......

Actually, I'd like to make Ayumi Hamasaki one since Ayumi is one of the singer I love the most. However, I don't find any Ayumi's eye make up beside bold liner and nude lips.. @_@

My make up key: Bold eyeliner with a fine line and silver eye shadow.

And the last make up is Harajuku Gal make up!

Harajuku is getting more popular these days and "Gyaru" is not that popular, even in Shibuya. Harajuku lovers is increasing day by day. And surely it shows how cool Japanese is. Harajuku makes teenagers, fashionista people and designers more creative and show their uniqueness by their outfit and make up. 

Here are my inspirations:

Amo - Credit

Seto Ayumi - Credit

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Credit

Their similarities? Thin colored eyebrow, big eyes and apply blusher NOT on the cheek, but close to eye bag. Some of them have bright BUT not bold lips. Some of them have bright and glossy lips. Some of them have "dracula" effect lip. Many inspiring Harajuku makeup, indeed. And this is my version:

Feels like someone slapped me! Hahahaha too bright XD

My make up key: bold winged eye liner, silvery yellow on tear line, dramatic upper lashes, natural lower lashes, pink blusher, thin red lipstick and pink lip gloss.

These are my looks, which one do you like, Lovely? :D ♥

[Review] Have natural "Caucasian" eyes by Dueba Puffy 3 Tones Eye Grey :3

Hello, Lovely! ♥♥
May is a great month because we have many public holidays (in Indonesia) and I need to take a breath for a while! Sure, because my college life is hectic, and I have a very bad time management, so my blog is just like... I don't know but I am really shy to admit as a blogger because of my lack of updating...

But, stop! I wanna review about new pair of soft contact lens ^_^ Surely, I got this pair from my lovely and all-time-favorite online shop, Dreamie Chuppa! Thanks for being a very good and friendly seller. She's such friendly and sincere person, that's why I can't stop buying my lens at Dreamie Chuppa. Psst, she is quiet patient towards her customers, she doesn't matter about how talkative we are and how many questions we do ask, she will always keep good on services ! :D

I asked her to suggest me new lens and I wanna bought some pairs of Dueba (this is my all time favorite brand, that is why :P). My quest? I wanna have Caucasian eyes in grey and blue. She told me about this model and I simply said "Okay, bring me a pair of grey and blue!" LOL. And yep, she knows me well :P I do really love this lens ^^ It's bright but looks natural.

Let's see!

Details:

Name: Dueba(Dolly Eye)

Type: Puffy 3 Tones in Grey

Diameter: 14.5 mm

Base Curve: 8.6 mm

Water Content: 38%

Degree: 0 (Plano)

I do really love this lens. This lens has a low water content but it doesn't make my eyes dry easily. I do think it depends on our eyes. I have never been argued about this one. I love Dueba very much :D

Do you like this lens? This lens surely look "natural" to achieve different look. It has beautiful pattern, a real beautiful pattern. It has no "too big" and obvious pattern like EOS Jewel or Dueba BT 15. However, this lens has a little bit different effect from Dueba Ghotic 3 Tone. It has brighter effect, so it will make your whole appearance different in beautiful way :P

Let's jump into my review:

♥♥♥ Color:
(5/5)
I love this grey one. I DO! It has pretty grey without "too bright" effect and not to whitey! It makes me look different. Yeyyyy! 3 Tone is much natural than 2 tone and I do believe it :P
♥♥♥ Comfort:
(5/5)
I can't describe more about comfort. Dueba is always Dueba :D
♥♥♥ Enlargement:
(4/5)
It has no visible "ring" in this lens but it has some black pattern on the outer area and it gives some enlargement effect, but not too much. So, I give it 4!
♥♥♥ Diameter:
(4/5)
Too small, but it is okay. It isn't a big deal :D I will love this lens more if the diameter is 14.8 mm to 15 mm.
♥♥♥ Pattern:
(5/5)

I love the pattern so much. 3 tone in a very good pattern to achieve natural "different" look. Nothing to be worry of. If you love to be "outstanding" or "different", you should try this lens ^^

My whole result? 4.6! Nice result, right?

If it comes into Pros and Cons, here my pros and cons:

♥♥♥ Pros:

1. It's so pretty and perfect pattern to get natural Caucasian eyes :P

2. Comfortable lens. I don't have to give the drops for 4-5 hours. It doesn't make my eyes dry easily :D

♥♥♥ Cons:

1. The enlargement effect is not too big.

2. The diameter itself is quite small, indeed.

3. I can't use this lens without make up. It looks weird -_- I should take my make up on.

4. The price is little bit more expensive than other lens like Geo or EOS. Dueba is about Rp. 185.000 ($17.5) However, I don't think this lens is overpriced one. For me, it is still having an affordable price :D

I'd love to wear this one rather than my Ghotic one. However, they are both cool to wear :D

And this is me by wearing this lens:

Sorry for weird smile and harsh make up, such a failed selfie -_-

This lens is currently my favorite. How about you? :D

[Random] Love & Hate Products?

Hello, Lovely ♥

I hope all of ya will have a full of luck in this May. Today, my first post in May is about "Love & Hate" beauty products. Love and Hate? Yep, I surely have some :D

There are a famous classic quote in Indonesian - Bahasa. The quote is: "Cinta dan Benci itu beda tipis". It means that love and hate has a fine line on us. I do agree because I have these "Love & Hate" beauty products right now.

Today, I pick 10 products (some of them are not reviewed yet!) and give you my opinions about these products. I have each 5 products I wouldn't and would repurchase.

- WOULDN'T REPURCHASE -

1. D.U.P Eyelash Glue #501 Rubber Type

♥♥♥ Love:

The product is not too stink and it can be used for a year. What a good saving :D

♥♥♥ Hate:

It's not a very good adhesive power -_-When my eyes got teary, my lashes were always falling off. Duuuh!

Repurchase: No! It's a big no to purchase since my eyes are teary and it'll be so ridiculous when lashes are falling off ....

2. Clio Waterproof Pen Liner Kill Black - Black

♥♥♥ Love:

This product is waterproof, it proves it! It also doesn't smudge easily. It is a great product. Let me say that this is one of the best waterproof eyeliner I've ever had so far. I'm not surprised of its kindness and popularity in South Korea. It is also hard to remove by using water. Be sure remove it by makeup remover ;D

♥♥♥ Hate:

1. The cap is annoying! I guess it should be repackaged into better one. It must be good if there is a spring on the cap. I think I do expect too much. I do always close this eyeliner properly. The cap will sound "click" if it is closed properly. However, it can be opened when I put it on my make up bag. Don't ask me how.. It happened many times and it dries again and again!

2. It stains my hands every time I apply this liner -_- Urgh!

Repurchase: Think twice! I think I will repurchase if I have no other choices :P Ok, surely no!

3. Cosmagic Sweet Deco Cheek #2 Peach Pink

♥♥♥ Love:

This product's texture is very good. The cream blusher is easy to apply and it's very pigmented! The pink blusher and pink highlighter are also pigmented.

♥♥♥ Hate:

1. It's powdery (?). Yep, every time I wanna swipe this product, the powder is so chalky. It produces a lot of excess powder in a very light swipe.

2. It should be too fragile :P Both of my pink blusher and highlighter are cracked :s

Repurchase: No!

4. Candy Doll Lip Concealer

♥♥♥ Love:

This product will surely conceal your lips imperfections perfectly! It can conceal the cracked lips without making it worse ^^

♥♥♥ Hate:

It's sticky, really sticky. Moreover, I think the product needs to be shaken before apply it to our lips. Take a look on the second pics, you can see this product "consist" 2 liquid type, brown colored and watery one. 

Repurchase: No, because I don't think I will need this kind of concealer anymore.

5. 3CE Super Slim Pen Eyeliner #Black

♥♥♥ Love:

It has a very precise brush. You can apply a fine line by using this eyeliner easily! It is also very pigmented. Really black! Aww~

♥♥♥ Hate:

It leaves stain if you apply it more than 3 hours. I tried to remove this eyeliner by using 3 kinds of make up remover and the stain isn't removed at all T___T What a mess!

Repurchase: No! It's so scary of having this kind of eyeliner :(

- WOULD REPURCHASE -

1. e.l.f Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder #83601 St. Lucia

Sorry for blurry fonts. It's blurry, not out focused :P

♥♥♥ Love:

The affordable product with so much greatness in it! I love how it works on my face. It suits my skin tone well. The gold shimmer is also not too much and make a "healthy" look. Moreover, this is very good for bronzing, contouring and blushing your face. Nice products!

♥♥♥ Hate:

1. I have nothing to hate beside no brush in it! :P Oh, wait. It is also a lil bit chalky, but it doesn't produce much excess powder.

2. Hard to find in Indonesia! Grr!

Repurchase: Surely, yes!!

2. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution

♥♥♥ Love:

You don't have to wash your face after removing your make up! It cleans your face perfectly. It also doesn't leave sticky feeling. Oh yeah, this product is suitable for sensitive skin, so it is so friendly on our skin :P

Nice cleanser~

♥♥♥ Hate:

This product is quite pricey. Aha, the price is worth every single penny. It isn't a big deal at all. However, this cleanser won't really clean your make up in one swipe. You need 2 or 3 swipes. After all, the product is good!

Repurchase: Why not? :D

3. Love & Peace Make Up Base

*another blurry fonts! sorry :P*

♥♥♥ Love:

This product really makes my make up stand for longer time. It is also not sticky and helps me to achieve perfect skin on make up :D It also helps me to conceal the big pores. And oh, it doesn't make me breakout.

♥♥♥ Hate:

Hard to find! It is not available in Indonesia, so I have to find a person to buy this one in Japan or Singapore. 

Repurchase: Yes, if I have a chance (need a friend to purchase it in Japan or Singapore)

4. Diamond Lash Volume Series #3 Celebrity Eyes

♥♥♥ Love:

Cheap prices, get 5 pairs and it has good hair. Great lashes, right :D They also have so many great models to try. (Now, I'm getting confused to purchase other models @_@)

♥♥♥ Hate:

The bend is quite hard to reshape. Meh~ It also looks so artificial when you take the photo in a flash lamp mode. Beware!

Repurchase: Definitely, yes. Not for repurchasing this model but other models :v

5. Ardell LashGrip Clear Adhesive For Strip Lashes

♥♥♥ Love:

1. It has affordable price and easy to find. You can find it on every Tammia's stores and stands. 

2. This white glue will change into clear when it dries and doesn't crease to much my eye make up.

3. It doesn't really hard to be cleaned on lashes.

4. The rubber holds lashes quite strong.

♥♥♥ Hate:

1. It is made by rubber latex. Well, it irritates my eyes for a while.

2. The smell is weird.. I don't know how to explain its smell.

3. I'm not good of using a squeezing product. Ok, it's hard to control when I wanna squeeze the glue to apply.

So, here they are. Do you have any "love & hate" products? Let me know if you do ! Thanks for reading!
