BIOKOS Vital nutrition Eye cream for 30+

This is by far, the first eye cream i have :). i was not really interested in eye cream before, because i thought i am still young, what do i need this cream for? But well, yeah, after opening my shops and reach 6th semester, i stood up in front of my mirror and see my eyes were shadowy black and felt tacky dry. Lack of sleep + STRESS + STRESS = my face looks 10 years older. OH MAMA!!

For prevention, i use eyecream lha, better prevent than cry later. I bought this eye cream, because it is from BIOKOS, a wellknown skincare brand from Indonesia. Yea yea, call me a brand snob, but actually for skincare like this it is better to know what kind of brand that issued the cream. I like biokos because it has laboratory for skincare and moreover it is in FRANCE. How cool is that? Local products go international..

The price is super affordable, just around 30.000 rupiahs. and i get this jar of eyecream. Jar? Yeah, unfortunately it comes in a jar. but it comes with a spatula tho. Just keep the spatula near the jar, don`t lose it like me >.< (slapped!!).

Hmm, the size of the jar is travel friendly, but design is so - so lha, nit cute at all. The main features about this eye cream is:

clinically proven
Dermatologically tested
infused with bio aloe vera
keep the skin looks young and slowing down the aging signs

When i opened, taraaa... this white cream appears. This white cream is actually pretty thick in consistency and it takes time to absorb. But it doesn`t left my eyes greasy, which is a good thing. Greasy eye leads to smudging eyeliner and fade away shadows.

The scent is very strong, but i personally like it. It calms down the mood hehehe. Overall, i have been using this for two months now and have been repurchase one more jar for back up. I like it, it really makes the skin near my eyes smooth and nicer. It doesn`t makes my panda eyes disappear tho. Well, i can not really blame this eye cream, because i myself do not sleep properly. I will recommend this for a prevention towards an aging sign. It is a good starter, the price is affordable and it really does moisture the under eye area.

Night night ladies.. I hope this review helps. hehehe.

Review Max Factor Masterpiece Color Precision Eyeshadow

Brand: Max Factor

I bought these babies sometime around last month, and the result have been satisfying. I have two shades, which are icicle rose and also coffee. Both have two functions, as eyeshadows and also an eyeshadow base.

COLOR DESCRIPTION.....

Icicle rose: Shimmery white eyeshadow with a hint of pink. Great for highlighter.

Coffee: Brown eyeshadow, and great for everyday color

Icicle rose and coffee

PACKAGING
Packed in a lipgloss-like tube, it becomes very handy to bring along. The applicator is also like a lipgloss. It is pretty sturdy and doesn`t leak on my purse

COLOR, PIGMENTATION, TEXTURE, AND LONGEVITY
I think this is one of my favorite make up product. No kidding. They both are so useful i like `em very much. The color is very pretty. Icicle rose even works well as a highlighter. I use it on the tearduct, nose bridge, cupid bow and my cheek bones. The result are very natural, and the shimmer is subtle. Wooww, this is all i can ask for a good highlighter!!

It is also pigmented. You absolutely can see it in my swatch, one swap and it is enough for the whole lid. Well, my eyes are definitely very small. If you have bigger eyes, you might need more.

The texture is creamy, easy to blend, but it dries very fast. You need to blend right after you apply it, because if you don`t do so, the color might dries up, and you end up with those ugly hard edges and uneven color.

The last good thing about it is the longevity. These products definitely stays put the entire day. Since i am a working girl who do my best to stay pretty :P LOL, i ussually put make up on 8.am after cooking. Then, i ussually do not do any touch up until 10 pm. I would say wearing these alone is enough. I go home, and the pretty colors from these eyeshadows are still there. Fade a bit? Yeah. But it still looks okay.

Other than highlighter and eyeshadow, you can also use it as eyeshadow base. Three purposes in one product! Waaa.. hehehe here are the swatches for you..

The icicle rose is pretty right? It reflects the light therefore great for highlighting the face

The one in "hearts" are eyeshadow + Maxfactor masterpiece, whereas the other is only eyeshadow

This eyeshadow definitely intensify the color. Icicle rose makes the eyeshadow looks richer, whereas coffee intensify the eyeshadow and makes it darker. Hmm, i like it both! How about you? Have you tried these eyeshadows?

Rating : 5/5

Repurchase? YES, another shade

BTW.....

My giveaway will end in 13 days from now... Haven`t join? Join it here.. Hurry up girls before it ends.

My skincare routines to combat pimples

Brand: Clean and Clear

Most of the time, i have two skincare routines. First one is for combating acne, and second one is my daily skincare. What about you? Do you have different skincares too? Lately my skin breaks out, due to the hormonal change and stress >,< Pimples appear on my cheek and they hurt very much T.T

Yikess!! Pimpleee...

This acne - combating skincare routines starts from face cleanser. First i wipe off all eye make up with this PIXY eye make up cleanser, and continuing this routine with Sariayu pembersih kenanga.

After that is facial foam from Clean and clear. It is esssentials foaming wash. Sometimes, when it breaks out really heavily, i use ASEPSO brand. My friend from Singapore got me these soap and i like it very much. I can tell that it dries up my pimples very quickly. It is available in Indonesia too, tho. Asepso soap has a sulfur smell, but it doesnt left my skin feel tacky dry after wash, unlike another sulfur soap. After face cleanser, i also tone my face with clean and clear toner. Toning is important to make sure you don`t have any dirt left and also minimize your pores.

I also scrub my face two times in a week. This process is to exfoliate any dead skin therefore preventing new acne to come. But don`t scrub your face when you got pimples, because it is only going to make it worse. After the acnes are completely healed, then, you can start exfoliating your face.

And now, down to moisturizer part. I use this clean and clear whitening moisturizer. Lightweight, and also have salycic acid to help cure the pimples. I like it very much. Then, for the eyes, i use BIOKOS eye cream. I use this on a regular basis, both on daily skincare or in this acne combating skincare. I also use wardah acne treatment care and apply it right on the pimple spot. It is very affordable and is a good treatment. Lastly, i use L`oreal white perfect night cream. This too, i use on regular basis :). I tried my best not to skip night cream, so my face stays supple on the next day.

That is my skincare routine on combating acne. How about you?
