I seriously miss this blog!

Though i have tons of my favorite products that are waiting to be reviewed on, life is getting in away >.<

Worry not, today i am back again with a review on Etude House BB Cream Cotton Fit shade N02.

Love the fact that Etude House BB Cream “Fit” series always showered with pearl extract. I dont know about you, but as for me i find that it gives my skin a healthy glow.

The packaging is exactly the same with my favorite EH Bright Fit,except that the color is white. Hmm.. I personally prefer the pinky peach color in Bright Fit because white is easily dirty >.<

Yay for pump! Hygienic!

As for the bb cream, it is somehow thicker and harder to blend than previous EH BB Cream. If i spray Aveeno facial spray first, it will solve the problem and makes the bb cream spreads and blends better.

The finish is matte which i like so much.The coverage is medium to full :). As for oil control, it holds up whole day for 5 to 6 hours without blotting.

Overall, i like it a lot and i use this for my daily make up :)

Cheers,

Hana

Have you ever heard about The Natural Story before?

If you haven’t, The Natural Story is an Indonesian brand from Malang. The company produces high quality soap and lipbalm from natural ingredients, such as oatmeal and japan rice :). As natural as being said, it is free from SLS, parabens, chemical and artificial colors.

Natural skincare is famous in US, when i bought it last time, it can reach $3 for 1 soap. The natural story provides same quality with comparatively low price. The soap bar below is sold for $1 (15000), whereas the bee balm that i am going to introduce later is only $1,5 (20000 rupiahs)

The natural story provides several ingredients you can choose from: Oatmeal, rose, korean red rice and Japan rice. Mine is Oatmeal soap bar.

The soap is quite heavy! 80gr :) and it lasts for three weeks, which is longer than my usual Dove soap bar. So far i like this more :) because it exfoliates dead skin and make my skin cleaner and whiter. As for the packaging, it comes out nicely with wood colored paper pack. Very classy. It is going to be better if the glue was more intact so we can actually stock on the soap without worry that the packaging will comes off.

What i love the most about this soap is the fragrance! It smells very oatmeal. I like oatmeal and eat it everyday. This soap just makes me craving for it in the morning :)

Now i want to introduce this Bee balm :) It comes with cute yellow box. I like it! But then again the glue also comes off easily >.<

It is cute and small. It fits to my pocket and practically easy to bring everywhere

It smells so good!!! Smells like honey and caramel :) Although it only contains a small amount of product, it will stay long because a little bit goes along the way. I can even tell the difference right away :)

This Bee Balm is multifunctioned. You can use it to the dry areas of your skin and even as lipbalm. It moisturizes very well. It helps my chapped lips alot, but then it tasted bitter when the product got licked by accident >.<

The top picture is my bare lip. It is not too dry, but chapped a little bit at the outer edges. The bottom pic is my lip with a tiny bit of Bee Balm. It is more moisturized :)

Since i dont like the taste, i currently using the bee balm as my hand cream. Works well! It works better than Angel Hand Cream from Nature Republic that i owned.

Hi dearest :)

I find a very useful daily pallete from a local brand Mustika Puteri. It is called Mustika Puteri PeachBerry pallete. Found this in a cosmetic store nearby, and i thought it was cute and the colors are very wearable, so why not?

It contains 12 gr of products and the pallete is small (12x5x1) It fits to most of make up pouch.

Inside there are five shadows and three lipstick. One of the eyeshadow, the pink one has multi functions. Not only as an eyeshadow, but it can be a blusher too.

The eyeshadows are very very wearable. My favorite combination is beige color for my lid, and then dark brown for outer V,and the sparkling white for highlighting tear duct.

Hehehe it is so simple. But yeah, my work make up is as simple as that. It ussually consists of nude colors and eyeliner :)

  The eyeshadows have decent quality. Not very powdery :). Though, it doesn`t have crazy pigmentation like Urban decay, but the pigmentation is just enough for daily use :) I use them daily without primer and it stays for around 4 hours without creasing.

Peachberrry pallete has three shimmery eyeshadows, white, pink, and purple. Whereas the brown and dark brown are matte.

It has three lippie colors. Brown, nude and peach. You can mix the peach and nude together to create an peachy nude, MLBB color. The lipstick is sheer, not pigmented and the staying power is so so. But good thing that both eyeshadows and lippies smells good like strawberry :).

And this is my work FOTD. For the eyes i am using this Peach Berry Pallete. For the lips i am using Etude House Dear Darling Aloha Tint in Orange, and i top it off with the peach color lippie from the pallete.

So, i hope the review helps :) This pallete is one of the good buy and money saving too :P

Love always,

Hana

Hi, dear :)

Happy belated New Year!

As my first post, i want to introduce you a local but great CC Cream from Max Factor. I found this CC Cream when i hang out with my friends in Matahari. It was on special price then, so i bought it. The normal price would be around 130.000, but i got this only for 80.000.

There are around 4 shades you can choose from. I choose the fairest one, which is fair.

Description: Max Factor's Colour Correcting cream – make-up that covers like a foundation, with skincare benefits of a BB cream

As for the packaging, i wouldn`t say much. It is just professionally black. I just like how it has transparent section at the bottom, so i can see the shade :)

The swirl tube is the best! The cap shut tight and no leaking at all

Max factor CC cream has a slightly grey undertone and slightly oxidise on me >.<. It oxidises only when the weather is hot, but under air conditioned room, the cream stays okay for around 4 hours.

Now, let`s test the coverage! Below is lipstick stains

Max factor`s cc cream blendability is super great! a little bit goes along the way. It covers pore and not powdery at all. Just like my second skin.

And one more, super great coverage! I would say medium coverage. The coverage is just like BB Cream, only this CC Cream is very lightweight :) The coverage are far a lot better than my Etude House and Tony Moly CC creams

The finish is natural (not dewy, but not dead matte also) and surprisingly not sticky. On my lazy days, i only wear the cc cream and it works very well.

In conclsion. I love this CC Cream a lot! Worth buying :)

Love,

Hana

早安, pretties!

Today i am back with a new segment on my blog. I have been thinking to perk things up with reviewing local and budget beauty stuff exclusively. And here I am today i am bringing you one of the best local eyeliners, especially if you are a beginner.

PIXY PERFECT EYELINER

Price: 31.000 to 35.000

Content: 5 ml

Description: Waterproof liquid eyeliner to make your eyes more beautiful

It comes with only one shade, i think. And it is BLACK

These are the ingredients. It has listed alcohol as one of the ingredients, i thought it is going to make my eye teary. But no, it does not. It turns out to be well applied and the formula is eye friendly

To be honest, pixy was my first ever eyeliner brand. Back then the packaging is all pink. The eyeliner evolved with a new packaging, which i think, BETTER. I like black packaging because it is less dirty and the packaging now somehow looks classier than the previous one.

  

Packaging may change. Gladly the signature pen like brush is still the same! The brush is stiff with pointy ends, we called it felt tip eyeliner. This time, it is really a matter of preference, but i do like this brush better than thin brush eyeliner. It makes my life easier.

The brush was helpful for beginner me :) it helped me draw eyeliner easily. Eventhough, after 2 – 3 weeks of using the eyeliner, the felt tip started to fall apart and going blahhh –____- But hey, it is only 3 bucks anyway, buying a new one won`t be that hurt to our pocket :)

Now, let`s test it out!

1. This was when it was first applied. I waited for 10 to 15 seconds for it to dry. And the finish was a jet black color. It looks matte from afar but if i look at it real closely, it has a tad bit of glossy finish to it.

.

2. Now, first test :)! I rubbed it hard and this was what happened. Some of the color came off leaving a mild black stain.

So… Smudgeproof? 2,5 / 5

This eyeliner would work best for you who got double eyelids.

3. Second test.. I poured water to it, and it did not budge. Good! But as the water flowed it carried some of the pigments. It became grey water, leaving a greyish area underneath

Waterproof? 3/5

4. Third test, i rubbed the eyeliner when wet. And.. Goodbye @__@ hehehe. Lesson learned, don`t rubbed your eyes while you are crying, your eyeliner would smudged to pieces.

Waterproof? 3/5

.

Eye of The Day ~~~

And.. This is how it looks on me. Today i am using a beige colored base shadow and dark purple to contour the outer V. Simple eye make up for office lha :). I lined my eyes using PIXY and so far, it looks pretty neat.

So…

I gave 3/5 rating to this eyeliner. This is one of a great beginner eyeliner, felt tip, good formula, good packaging, and most of all, AFFORDABLE. With those in mind, this eyeliner is worth buying.

再見, ladies!

Love, Hana

My aunt is a big fan of Estee Lauder make up. Last time when she bought excessive collection from the brand, she got several mini size mascara and gave it to me.

I got mine in Rich black, which is a plain jet black color we all use.

Review ~~

- Has dry formula

- Very very expensive

- Not clumpy but doesn`t really make my lashes look voluminous

- Dries immediately after application

- Great brush! Even after the mascara is already out, i still use the brush for brushing off the clump

Overall: 3/5
