The powder has the cutest packaging ever!

I actually not that fond of it, but yeah, i won`t sell it as preloved because the packaging is TOO PRETTY to pass for.

First impression is eyecatching already with a hologram box. Woo..

What is inside is even more pretty. Purple packaging that looks so girlie. It does reminds me of old times, when little hana was running aroung holding Barbie make up dummy. It was look like this, wasn`t it? hehehe.

So princessey!

Even the inside are carefully embossed with the same engrave. Pretty but yeah, i guess the powder is not densely packed that is why it cracked easily.

BB Magic pact has a dewy finish. It looks cakey on me, heavy, cracky and it has bad oil control. The pact works if i do not put anything on my skin and just swipe it lightly. That is the only time when the surface looks smooth. I never top it of with bb cream because it is going to look to thick and BB Magic Pact does not hold oil as much.

And this is me using the BB Magic Pact. Looks okay, but yeah, it is actually cakey and feel heavy.

The only thing i love is packaging. Period.

Well it might be different with you, though. If you are interested, i think Bell`s Etude House is having it on preorder every month. It retails around 150.000 or $15 which i think it is not cheap. But well, if you dislike the formula, you can always keep the packaging hehehe.

So, that is all for today. I am sorry for rather blurry pictures. I was going hardcore on resizing it today and this is what happened #bow#.

Ok, i am signing out.

Love you,

Hana

It is 4 am here.

People are eating their sahur and a funny girl is seating in front of a laptop writing about make up at dawn because she is nervous for a job interview today.

Yeah… I heard writing can heal anxiety, so hopefully after this i can pull myself together. But Argh! I don`t like this fluttering butterfly in my stomach >.<. Deg deg deg. Hmph >.<!

Today i am going to use Etude House CC cream for interview :). I will top it of with Bright fit so i have a flawless skin hehehe and hopefully the interviewer would not notice a face that only get 3 hours of sleep today hehehe.

Say hi to it! Hahaha. I currently like  CC Cream so much because it looks more natural and less dewy for daily. I feel so anti – mainstream since many people dislike Etude CC cream, but instead going like the majority, i am actually loving it.

The packaging is white and a lot like Bright Fit, except this one has doff surface and smaller. It only has 30 grams. Bell`s Etude House sells this CC Cream for 155.000 or $15, i think. Etude House counter carries this also, they just launched it a few weeks ago.

I am actually liking the emboss here. Really pretty hehehe. But i too dislike white for a cc cream tube because it got dirty easily.

It comes with a pump, so it is hygienic.

When i swatched it on, it looks so white! It has a tiny purple sparkle that disappear during application. If we continue to blend it in, it will be no longer white.

Left-right: Bare-With CC Cream

It turns beige with a natural finish. The white color brightens up my face instantly and it has sheer coverage. Etude CC Cream is perfect for base, because it can make the bb cream last longer and has smoother finish.

This is me and my friend Mega. That day i was using CC Cream and Bright fit, i think my face looks flawless and brighter, don`t you think? Mega liked it a lot too.The oil control is also good, it holds up for around 4 hours and no oxidation.

I actually tried the glow version of cc cream. It is no difference in terms of coverage. The glow version has more dewy finish and it is more moisturizing. In my combination skin, it lasted shorter for aroun 2 hours and i already feel like my face turns to a greasy ball. For me, i do prefer silky version more :)

Repurchase? yes

Wish me luck, chicas!

Finally Garnier released their BB Cream! Wooo, i am so excited because Garnier BB Cream has received a warm welcome in United States. My dear friend, Sheilla could not cease to brag about it, saying it is better than my Korean BB Cream.

I become even more happy knowing it is retailed in 16.000 rupiahs price tag. Woo suppa cheap! It is everywhere also, you can purchase this in the nearest mart.

It contains 18 ml and the packaging is solid plastic tube. Somehow reminds me of our regular POND`S or Olay moisturizer. The packaging is okay, it is really suited for a drugstore brand.

Do you see the hole? I just think it is too big. I never get a perfect amount of BB with this tube. It always spurting more than what i need and i end up wasting it. UGH!

The cream itself has yellow undertone. Really lightweight and smells like Garnier lemon facial foam. It has SPF 21 to cast away UV, which is great for our over sunshine Indonesia. I did swatch above, and as you can see, the coverage is really sheer. It is not able to cover the pen mark. It does oxidise on me too >.<. In other sense, I always looks like oppa loompa with a pale sick yellow face.

TOP – BOTTOM: Bare(1), BB Cream only(2), BB Cream plus powder(3).

The yellowish tone gets better after i pair it off with powder. It has good staying power also. On application, the cream blends easy and has matte finish (picture 2). My face looks dewy on picture 3 because my powder has sheer shimmer.

In conclusion, this is such an answer for you who has olive skin tone and always complaining about how Korean BB Cream is always too white. Garnier BB Cream will be perfect for you.

Annyeong!~

What do you think of my lip color here?

Taraaaaa….

Teeheehehehe

What do you think?

I think it is pretty! It is currently my favorite color!

I ussually get this colour from Revlon Balm Stain in Sweetheart, it is around 80.000 rupiahs or $8 when i bought it. Hmm, for the dupe, i find Viva lipstick 21 has the same deep pink strawberry color. Similar. Only viva is cheaper with 12.000 rupiahs price tag.

Viva lipstick 21 is number 2 in swatch. A bit darker and lean to plum color a little bit, whereas Revlon Balm Stain sweetheart is brighter strawberry pink, but when i tried it on my lips, i find it very similar hehehe. Of course Revlon Balm Stain is more comfortable to use. Revlon Balm Stain has balmy mint smell, does not move, staining, and last for a long time :).

Strawberry color in Sweetheart can be overpowering to some. It does for me. The color is so bold, so i let it sit on my lip for five seconds, wipe it off with tissue and here is what i got. A beautiful stain of strawberry color. It stain better than my usual Etude house lip tint. So, i opt to Revlon Balm stain when i feel like doing a bolder make up look. As you can see, it does not exaggerate dry patches on my lip much, it is even moisturizing. I like it!!

Rating: 5/5

Repurchase? Yes, in another shade.

I like ulljang lips alot, pretty much my daily lip look is always like that!

For you who are wondering about what ulljang lip is, it is a make up style that is brought from Korea. It is like using coloured tint only in the middle of your lips, blending it out to create a gradation color. For a finish, we can add a lip gloss to create a fresh look.

And for that style, i have it comes in handy with Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint and Gloss. It is a dual ended lip product with tint and gloss in each end. Means we do not need two products to get the pretty ulljang lips, but one is enough! Woo Hooo…!

I got this at Bell`s Etude House. I think they have it in limited edition with an affordable price, only 90000 rupiahs or $9.

Fresh cherry tint comes in two shade, Red Tint and Pink Tint.

Mine is PINK DOUBLE…..

As i said earlier, it is DUAL ENDED. The packaging is a twist off. If you twist it up you have a gloss and if you twist it down you have a tint.

You twist both?? You have these two cute bottles like these hehehe.

The products are actually a lot. I have used these for more than a month daily and the amount was not reduced as much as i thought. I think the tint bottle is just a little bit smaller than Etude House Fresh Cherry tint, that is why i think this is quite a steal for me. I can get a PLUS LIPGLOSS by paying 20.000 more only * Regular tint is 70.000, i think :)*

The top end is a gloss. The gloss has this pretty shimmery finish that really makes my lips look a lot fuller. Since my lips are naturally full already. I ussually just apply it on the middle of my lips. It is not as sticky as Maybelline or Silkygirl gloss *LOVE IT*!The applicator is surprisingly soft and a tad bit longer than the tint applicator.

And this is the bottom end. A tint!. The applicator is same like my regular Fresh Cherry tint, only smaller. I think Etude House just cut it shorter and COPY PASTE it to this series hehehe. Well, i have no complain since the applicator works well. The tint also has the same quality like the regular one. It is moisturizing, stays well for around 5 hours on me, feels light, smells nice and looking pretty.

Now swatches! This is how they turns out on my hands. The textures are both light and i just like it very much for daily use.

Loves:

- Affordable and lasts for along time

- Moisturizing, looks natural, feels light and smells nice

- Love the applicators and packaging!

Rants:

None at the moment :)

Okay, in conclusion, i have been enjoying Fresh Cherry Tint and Gloss a lot. If you are in high school or MENTALLY still highschool like me hahaha, you will like this lha. It will give us a no brainer cute pink lips daily, and it just look SUPER NATURAL. It works as a stain, therefore no heavy feeling nor super obvious creamy lipstick style. LIKE THIS!

BONUS!!

Since this is a ready stock in Bell`s you can get additional 5% of by mentioning Beauty-Chica hehehe. Save that money for your wedding, girls LOL!

Okay, I`ll see you later

Much Love,

Hana

I got measles earlier this month and rewarded with a flock of drugs.

Allright, i coach another musical play after the never forgotten Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih Musical play (read here). I  and talent show team coached 57 students!! A lot! And we pull it up to a great show. Thanks all and to the students, i hope you will always have INDONESIA in your hearts!

Have the LAST SLEEPOVER with my besties, Mega, Kath, and Ryma. We are going to graduate and soon will be busy adapting to our new jobs. I am so grateful i have them. I totally going to miss you!

I got myself a new pallete from BH cosmetics, probably i am going to use this for my graduation ceremony. Oya, i am cleaning up my make up and will be holding a big preloved sale sometimes around next week.

I watched Dr Seuss: Lorax with my students earlier this week and i found this amazing quote in the end of the story..

I hope we care enought o our surroundings. That way we can make it better :)

And by the way…

I am thinking of pursuing a master degree in Psychology.

Where should i go? Any suggestion?

Much love, Hana
