Review: Skinfood Aloevera BB Cream shade 2

Many has raving about this BB Cream since two years ago when i just started this blog. This is a classic bb cream, famous in line with Missha BB Cream and its sister, Skinfood mushroom bb cream. I just got the chance to try it now, because at first i was so in love with Skin 79 bb creams, and then move to Etude House BB Creams.

The packaging is green tube with vintage style sticker on the top. The cap is tight eventhough i do not really like the vintage design, it looks kinda weird to me, not elegant enough

Mine is number 2, natural beige. It has greyish undertone that tends to look whitish at first and then it is going to adapt to your natural skin tone.

With the squeezy tube, i always end up squeeze more than enough amount for one application. Maybe because the tube hole is too big, or i am too strong? Hahaha..

The cream smells like aloevera, great smell that fades away after application :). It is easy to spread and to blend. The finish is dewy and it is not as sticky as foundation or other bb creams i have before. Actually at home, i ussually just use the bb cream alone and it looks good, not greasy or anything. The downside of the bbcream is oxidation. It oxidised badly on me >.< At the first two hours, it sets beautifully, but after two hours wear, my face turns to be orangey and not fresh at all.

Skinfood aloevera bb cream is buildable without look too cakey. Above i run some coverage test. In my opinion, the coverage is light to medium but we can layer it at the area that needs more coverage. You see, after three layers, the heart pen marks dissappear. As for the oil control, i would say that the oil control is not really good. Just usual, around 3 – 4 hours then the bb cream starts to fade out.

This is me using the bb cream. Can you spot orangey tone on my face? Yes, hahaha.. this one was a lucky picture because the lighting is pretty, in the real life my face looked more orange than this :P.. But yeah, it is not bad as oppa loompa though so i can tolerate it. Especially, considering how nice and comfortable to use this bb cream. All in all, i would recommend this bb cream for you who has dry skin and has no problem with oxidation.

Bromo and the chilly breeze

Slice of life

Annyeong~

I know the holiday has not started yet and you girls must be busy working. That is why i post my holiday report here hehehe. Hope to see you hyped up again after reading this. Holiday will come again, girls!

A couple weeks ago i went to Bromo. When people in Surabaya got a day off and supposed to choose their leaders in PILKADA, hahaha i sneaked out from the city and went up to Bromo mountain.

If you go to Indonesia and Jawa Timur. Bromo is a MUST VISIT place! I mean.. Wow, it offers beautiful sceneries like no others. Whenever i go to Bromo, it always reminds me of the lost island in JOURNEY 2 movie.

First of all, go there with your friends because the hartop car is quite expensive to rent. It is better to go with around 5 people. After you rent the car, it will take you to this beautiful PENANJAKAN to see the sunrise.

Chilly.. Brrr.. and hiking in the dawn time is quite dangerous. But.. If you reach up there, it is worthy! The mountains are so pretty.

I saw this edelweiss flower sold near Penanjakan. People there said it will never withered. I mean, this edelweiss flower must be so special for being able to be pretty for a long time

The sunrise was mesmerizing. The sky was a gradation of orange, yellow and blue while alll the mountain were surrounded by white fog. As the sun goes up, you can feel the heat is overcoming the cold chilly breeze.

Second destination is PASIR BERBISIK which is pretty much a dessert with the view of a mountain as a background. It is called pasir berbisik because the location here has ever used for a famous Indonesian movie with the same name.

Now let me introduce you to the second last most interesting part of my journey in Bromo. READYYYY?

Here, we were at the savannah. This savannah reminds me of the one that in Colorado. Hehehe. even on your way to this spot, you can actually see pretty sceneries everywhere.

Aight, enough of savannah, lets move to the crater, shall we?

This bromo crater is actually an active volcano. You can actually see it sizzling. You went up to the crater using horse, and pay around $10 bucks for a horse. Quite pricey, but it is okay, for another kind of experience.

I loveee horsing very much.. hahaha Ah ya, if you are thinking to go to Bromo, you MUST DRESS WARMLY. Bring you thickest coat, shawl, hat, earmuff, and gloves. Otherwise you are going to be freezing there.

After a nice long horse journey. You will see this hell stairs. The stairs are sooo long that makes my leg painful. Arggghhh… Going down is as much dangerous as going up. Phew, i am just so lucky that i have a caring friend who pay attention on me while going up and down the stairs. Otherwise, i am sure 500% i am going to fall down and break my own leg.
