Happy weekend everyone! What are you planning to do this weekend? I am planning to go to Banqiao night market tonight. So excited!

Before i go, i have this review prepared for you! These are lip creams from NYX. If you are familiar with their matte lip cream range, this lip creams are similar, except that it has glossy finish. So… Vivid color and glossy finish.

I have two colors, natural and nude peach fuzz

 

Nude peach fuzz – Left: Soft peach color, a MLBB Color

Natural – Right : Beige color and very pale even for me. I can only use it with Smokey Eyes, otherwise i will look very sick

The usual applicator. Nothing surprising

Beauty Chica review:

What i like

- Lovely color for everyday, especially nude peach fuzz

- Affordable, around 85000 or $8 each

- Vivid color!

What i dislike

- Smells bad, like gasoline and bad rubber that makes me want to gag

- It does not last long, three hours max

- It stays on the crease of my lip lines

- Drying but feel waxy

Rating: 3/5

Hello!

I live in Taiwan now, so it would be strange if i do not try their infamous skincare mask. Yes yes!! Taiwan is very famous for the masks, and they are very affordable too. When i entered Sasa Taiwan for the first time, i was dumbfounded because masks were like.. everywhere.. with cute packagings.

For a starter, today i picked this Glamorous Sky masks. I did not buy this, my senior in church gave me these.

Last weekend i used the moisturizing one (blue sachet) because my skin turned really dry in Taiwan.

 

Key features: Hyaluronic Acid, glycerin, prunus serrulata extract, and ginkgo biloba leaf extract

Beauty Chica  Review:

Loves…..

+ SO MUCH ESSENCE! It is more than the usual Korean masks that i ever use. IMO

+ Very moisturizing

+ Smells good

+ The masks spreads thin and has tiny holes which is very breathable

Dislikes….

- The essence is too slimy

- It is too rich IMO, I got several breakouts after using it

I use Kose skincare range for my daily routine. Good, really, my skin feels supple and rejuvenated. But, i have to admit that Kose takes a fortune from my thinny thin wallet T__T. In the other hand, drug store skincare product are SOOOO MANY out there and affordable! Many of you asked me through email what drug store skin care products that are recommended. Today i would show you some that works on me!

First, i encounter this blue holy grail toner. Met this way way back when i was in USA and still acne friendly girl. Of course Clean and clear essential toner`s price here in Indonesia is way cheaper and has same function! I got this for around 15.000 rupiahs or less than 2 dollars. I really like this, because it tightens my pores and my face feels so clean.

It works well and very recommended for combination to oily skin. Leave it if you have dry skin because it can feel stingy upon contact your skin. I personally use this after washing my face. Pour some to the cotton ball, and pat it nicely onto the skin, especially T zone area.

Next is Citra Hazeline Sparkling White Glow UV. I bought this accidentally, just because i want to join some Indomaret video contest which require me to buy this Citra face cream. I like it and i finished this a month ago.

It looks like this. Creamy white paste that once sets in your skin, it sets, matte. I apply my bb cream after, and the result? AMAZING! It seems like my skin glows from underneath. This cream, when wore itself, has that pearly effect. The shimmer is so micro, when i see my face really close to the mirror, i can see sparkle. When i step back, i see nothing, just a fresher face. Definitely won`t make your face like a disco ball.

 

I am still using my Kose skincare, though i alternate with Citra at times. Citra can be a bit drying when used in some period of time. Not hydrating enough.

Next, eye cream! Been using Biokos eyecream for two years. TWOOO YEARSS!! Omoo that is a long time. I am not ussually a faithful user for beauty products, really. Biokos vital nutrition is not impressive either, but i stick to it because it is very convenient. Firstly, my eyebag is not that bad. I use this as prevention only and it works well. It feels moisturizing, smells nice, and affordable. Other eyecream is like 100 ++ rupiahs, but Biokos vital nutrition is a fraction of that. That is why i buy this again and again and again.

I would recommend this for prevention only. If you have a very bad dark circle and fine lines, I am not sure it would work that much. But so far, it keeps my under eye area moist, thus prevent the lines to come out. Plus, it works well as an emergency eyeshadow primer.

We never know what life has to offer. It is full of surprises. One of them, i got it around two weeks ago. My former lecturer, Jie Karin offered me to accompany her and “worked” as make up artist.

The international cultural art show, I am what I am was held in 11 – 12 July at Ciputra Hall. I got to lived in Ciputra Villa for 2 days with the dancers, got a wonderful dinner with them, and becoming friends .

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!

The performers :). Kenneth Greve was the important dancer for Denmark palace and he was such a cool friend. Kimberly Trees from Australia (her website here) was so talented and cheerful. Before i left her, she gave me a Benefit eyeshadow pallete >.< AAAA.. LUCKYYYY! I will cherish it forever, Kim! #hug u

I wish i could post more pictures, really. But my phone and my camera battery was really low then. Stupid me, i did not bring my chargers. Can you believe? I did not forget my curling thongs, eyeshadows, blush ons and even the bobby pins, but i forgot my charger!! #cryinthecorner.

So yeah, i have only few pictures >.< The producer, Ongkel Yongki kindly gave me VVIP seat. Right in front of the stage, but i could only busy OOOHH AAAHH during the wonderful performances. My camera is bad in capturing moving scenes anyway. Let it be laaa.. Let the memories stay forever in my mind.

Bad or not? I know it is bad #shrugged.

  This is Ongkel Jongki, Indonesian born art genious who studied in German. I really appreciate his work in international artistry. Read his short story in Jawa Pos here. All in all, i am so grateful for the chance. Thank you Jie Karin and Ongkel :). We, Indonesians, must open our eyes more towards art and cultures. They are too beautiful to be missed, to precious to be lost.
