Hello!

I am so happy today because i have a day off. Really a day off! Nothing listed in my daily schedule! So today, i just cleaned my room, rearranged things, went jogging, and now.. BLOGGING!

Continue my sharing last week about facilities in Taiwan Dormitory, today I am going to share about my room!

Read about the facilities in Taiwan dormitory here

This is how my dorm look like. in Taipei Tech Dorm, each room is designed for four people. For some universities like NTUST, each dorm is for six people.

And I AM LUCKY!!

Really, i am the kind of girl who can not live with so many people. Just uncomfortable la. This semester i only have one roommate, so my dorm room feel so spacious! Moreover, she is so nice!

In addition to that, you have this cabinet. One cabinet each person. You can put your handbag, books, or whatever that you do not use often inside.

This is my part of the room. It looks so empty because i do not bring so much book, later on when the semester starts, the books may pile over.

I generally divide the desk to two parts, computer and study space on the right, and my make up space on the left.

Do you see the kitty mirror?

My boyfriend bought that for me haha #brag #slap

He is so cute la, he knows i am a big fan of make up and there is no mirror in the dorm, so he bought me that. FYI, Mirror here is so expensive! Do you know how much that kitty mirror cost? 450 NT, or around 200.000 rupiahs! I know some of the stores in Indonesia sell that in 50.000 or 150 NT a piece.

My desk has “hidden” shelf under the table to place pen, and other things

Now, this is my bed! Look so comfy, eh! haha.. In the dorm, you will be required to buy your own mattress. Mattress, yes, i said mattress.

Don`t dream it is fluffy and nice like your spring bed in home!

It is more like bamboo mat with sponge on top.

When i first sleep on it, i was like…

UGH! So stiff and uncomfortable >.<

I don`t know why it is like that, but every students here live this way. Maybe they want us to study more rather than sleeping hahaha. Right, if you choose to live in dorm, buy your own mattress and do not order from school. The school mattress are ussually so thin and even more uncomfortable to sleep. I bought mine myself and i can choose the thick and pretty one.

My pillows :) hehehe. Here, there is no bolster. I have not see it anywhere, so if you happen to love bolster so much, LIKE ME.. just bought this long pillow as a subtitute.

My phone and my blanket. Matchy matchy!

My sandal brought from home. My mom specially bought me this. Aaa i miss my mom!

Taiwan dorm generally has air conditioner and fan. In my dorm, we have to pay to use the air conditioner, but fan is free to use. Oya, my dorm has internet connection, and it is so fast! Woo hooo, almost as fast as american internet.

A view from my dorm room window. So beautiful! and during the school days, i can see many basketball team playing on the field.

That is all for today! Next time i will tell you about the bathroom and cafeteria. Byeeeee..

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.
