Review etude house dear darling tint halloween edition witch hunt

Hello, i'm back with my new halloween item! You know that etude house always launch halloween edition every year and this time i got the dear darling lip tint #witch hunter. By just hearing the name, it already triggered something fascinating about it.

So the packaging is pretty much the same tall plastic tube, but what makes it different is the black cap and little witch logo along with skycrapers pictures on the bottom.

The liquid looks like blood color and the consistency is like a gel tint. It has a very fruity floral scent and i really like it. The applicator is very nice and doesn't pick up too much product. I think this is the best applicator so far!

Now, when i saw the promotional picture, the shade was winter berry shade but the content looks like blood color, i was curious and it's true, eventhough the tint lokks like blood color in the bottle but when i swatch it on my lips the color is indeed winter berry (pink purple red as one)

It leaves tacky feeling on lips. But.. For the longevity, i will give this product 10 stars if i may. I use this at 9 am, i do drink and eat and the color is still vibrant until 9pm. I can still feel the sticky tacky feeling at the end of the day, and it is so hard to remove even using cleansing water.

Wow with a very cheap price i can get such a great deal! Thank you etude for giving me such a good treat, and happy halloween all!

Review: mamonde total solution bb essence balm

Well.. I promised i'll make more review from now on hehe. By the way, for my indonesian reader, i'll try to make all my posts bilingual since there are so many suggestions about the bilingual post.

So, i've told you i purchased 2 mamonde item, and the one that i'm going to review now is the total solution bb essence balm.

(kemarin kemarin aku ud pernah bilang mau ngereview another product dari mamonde, yaitu mamonde total solution bb essence balm)

I've been dying to try balm type bb cream since the etude nymph aura but i never get a chance to try it. I guess some products are not destined to be mine haha. Few weeks ago, i was in love with mamonde total solution moisture bb cream and i was going to purchase the big size one, but my seller somehow did not sell it and she suggested me to purchase the bb balm instead. Seriously, i'm interested in mamonde brand so i'll buy anything if it has mamonde name on it haha.

(dari dulu aku memang udah pengen cobain bb balm pas masih jamannya etude house nymph aura balm tapi ga tahu kenapa ga pernah kesampaian. Beberapa minggu belakangan aku lagi tertarik banget sama mamonde dan salah satu produk favoritku adalah mamonde bb cream total solution moisture tapi entah kenapa seller ku ga jual dan dia tawarin bb balm ini.)

It is pretty expensive, i bought it for Rp 330.000 or $30. I hate cushion bb since they run out so fast, like the regular etude house one can only lasts for 3 weeks with continously use, and it is such a bothersome if i have to repurchase it very soon, since i hate repurchasing things haha. But since this bb balm is not a cushion, i guess it can last pretty long.

(harganya lumayan mahal, aku beli 330 ribu rupiah di @kbeautycrush. Lebih mahal dari cushion etude dan jujur aja aku ga suka pakai cushion karena cepat banget habis haha, tapi karena ini balm, mungkin aja bisa tahan lebih lama hehe)

The packaging is sleek and mature, with gold pink on top and the rest of the plastic body is in pale pink. The outer body is quite sturdy but inside, you can hear the balm container keep moving here and there everytime you pick up the product.

(packagingnya rapi dan kelihatan dewasa, tutup atasnya berwarna rose gold dan body nya plastik berwarna pink pucat. Outer body nya sih kuat tapi kotak bb balm didalamnya suka bunyi bergerak2 gitu kalau pas lagi dipakai, jadi rada takut kalau tiba tiba lepas hehe)

It comes with a regular puff like a powder. I found the original puff is really bad for taking the product. It absorbs the product and making uneven application on face. Luckily i still have my etude cushion puff so i just using it instead of the original one. I rather dissapointed since i purchase this product in a high price and i only get a cheap puff?

(sayangnya puff bawaan dari mamonde ini kualitasnya buruk sekali. Puff nya cuman puff bedak padat biasa padahal kan harganya mahal, kog puff nya murahan? Hehe jadinya aku pakai puff dari cushion etude yang lama dan lebih berfungsi karena ga begitu nyerap produk)

So, there are no english description on the box, everything is written in hangul, and its not easy to find the product information in google.

(ga ada deskripsi dalam bahasa inggris dan ga mudah untuk cari review nya online hehe)

As usual bb balm always comes in a swirling formula. The beige color is the bb cream, while the white and the pink swirl is for highlighter and the essence i guess haha. I bought #1 color since no 2 tends to look exactly like my skin color and i need something to brighten the overall look.

(seperti biasa, bb balm selalu mempunyai bentuk formula yang swirling. Mamonde ini punya 3 warna di swirlingnya, beige untuk bb cream, pink untuk essence dan putih untuk highlight. Aku beli warna no 1 karna biasanya kalau warna no 2 cenderung yellow tone dan gelap di kulit hehe)

Actually i don't know how to pick up the product without destroying the design haha, so i picked up only on left side first.

(sebenarnya aku ga tahu gimana cara untuk mengoles produk k puff tanpa ngerusak visual swirlingnya yang lucu banget hehe jadi aku cuman ambil di bagian kiri aja)

The result is very drying and looks patchy at first, i was dissapointed but then i figured out i need to use proper skincare step before using this bb balm. I used toner and thick cream and i can see the better result.

(hasilnya cenderung kering dan menonjolkan titik2 yang kering banget. Pertamanya kecewa banget sama hasilnya, tapi setelah aku pakai perawatan wajah lengkap sebelumnya hasilnya malah jadi bagus dan lembab)

It leaves semi matte finish while actually i always want dewy glossy finish. For the coverage, i have to say it is very good. It covers 8 out of ten. And it is such a good score for a simple bb balm without foundation or primer.

(finishnya semi matte, jadi bagi yanh suka glossy finish, ini bukan pilihan yang tepat. Tapi coverage dari bb balm ini bagus banget 8 dari 10 deh scorenya. Dan udah bagus banget tanpa foundation atau primer)

It contais nobilis flower extract so it is good for sensitive skin and i do not experience any break out using it. It is also non comedogenic

(mengandung extract bunga jadi bagus untuk kulit sensitive. Tidak menimbulkan jerawat sejauh ini dan ga nyumbat pori)

I recommend this bb balm for oily skin type rather than dry skin type. But if those dry skin type out there want to try this product, you can do proper skin care before applying this product.

(aku lebih recommend bb balm ini untuk yang kulitnya berminyak, tapi kalau orang dengan kulit kering mau coba bisa aja asalkan pakai skincare lengkap dulu sebelumnya)

Will i repurchase it? I don't think so since i dislike semi matte finish and the rather drying formula, but i do like the highlight effect though. For the longevity, it can last for 5 hours without re application.

(bakal beli lagi ga? Emm ga deh kayaknya hehe karna hasilnya yang semi matte tapi aku suka highlighting effectnya, untuk ketahanannya, bisa bertahan di wajah untuk kira2 5 jam tanpa touch up)

Jadi bagi girls yang mau purchase kosmetik korean silahkan pesan po di @kbeautycrush yaa, barangnya relatif murah dan free ongkir untuk daerah pontianak

Thank you very much for your time and see ya later

This is how the packaging looks

Yo can see the swirling formula

Left side with the product while right side with bare face, you can see the difference right?

Review : mamonde rose water soothing gel

Hi all, back to mamonde which is a hit in korea nowadays. There are not many products well known aboard and since their shop hasn't available in many countries (only in thailand). The famous one are only cover powder cushion, rose water series and first energy serum. I purchased 2 products which are rose water soothing gel and total solution bb essence balm. But now i'll review the soothing gel first hehe.

(Hai semua, kali ini aku akan ngereview mamonde rose water soothing gel, dan dalam bahasa indonesia karena uda banyak banget permintaan untuk ngereview produk dalam bahasa indonesia. OK, bagi yang belum tahu mamonde, mamonde itu produk korea dan booming banget di negara asalnya tapi di indonesia jarang banget yang tahu karena memang belum ada retail shop nya (cuman ada di thailand) dan kebetulan aku beli 2 macam yaitu mamonde rose soothing gel dan total solution bb essence balm)

Well, the packaging is absolutely pretty. It has rose picture on the lid and the color is pretty pale pink. It is definitely looks gorgeous on the vanity. It came in 300ml plastic jar just like the nature republic one.

(sekarang aku review yang soothing gel dulu yaa, packagingnya sih menarik banget, ada sticker rose yang bagus banget dan pastinya bisa mempercantik meja rias. Jarnya warna soft pink, tapi ketika dibuka ternyata ga ada plastik pemisahnya, jadi rada messy kalau ga sengaja jatuh ato kebalik. tapi gel nya punya memory texture jadi bakal balik sendiri ntar.
 Jar nya berisi 300ml product jadi lumayan banyak untuk dipakai satu badan)

There is no separator lid so it's a little bit messy when we accidently turn it upside down but the gel has memory texture and that means it can go back to it's own shape later.

Ok, i would like to tell you that my previous Nature Republic aloe soothing gel was fake!! I realized it after using half of it. The jar has different color and the texture of the gel is more watery. The smell is not as strong as the real one and it has no effect, just like alchohol evaporating once you applied it. IT is very drying but fortunately it doesn't break me out. SO be careful when you are purchasing something online, especially from a very well known product.

(Ngomong ngomong nature republic yang dulu aku pernah post itu palsu! aku ga sadar sampai udah hampir pakai habis dan kalau salah satu murid ku yang ngefans banget sama kosmetik korea ga kasih tahu, aku ga akan tahu kalau itu fake. Cara bedainnya dari kemasan, sticker di atas memiliki gambar tetesan air warna hijau dan kelihatan banget pixel nya jelek ( masih kelihatan dot dot nya kayak hp jadul) lalu wanginya ga sekuat yang asli dan texturenya kayak gel gatsby. GA bisa balik ke memory texture dan abis makai rasanya kering banget.) walaupun aku beli dengan harga Rp 90000 tetap aja ternyata palsu, untungnya seller nya mau refund, jadi please be careful girls)


Back to the mamonde soothing gel, it feels watery and not sticky on skin. IT absorbs completely after 1 minutes and the scent linger for A quite long time.

(balik lagi ke mamonde rose water soothing gel. Pas pemakaian, rasanya cooling banget dan ga lengket di kulit. Teksturnya watery dan meresap dengan cepat. Untuk keharumannya, lumayan tahan lama, sekitar 30 menit lha)

I like to use it as body gel rather than face gel since i like the cooling effect. IT does't provide enough moisture for the face and you can't see any fast result after using this.

(aku lebih suka pakai gel ini sebagai pelembab tubuh karena efek coolingnya yang cepat dan selain itu, untuk wajah, aku rasa ga terlalu melembabkan dan ga ada efek instan dari pemakaian)

Actually i have lost my heart upon soothing gel products since they are just a gimmick and can't do any big things on very dry skin,but i guess it will work well on oily skin.

(sebenarnya aku ga terlalu berharap intuk produk soothing gel lagi, karena rata rata kemampuannya ga sebagus yang di iklankan dan tidak terlalu berfungsi untuk kulit kering, tapi mungkin lebih bagus kalau dipakai di kulit berminyak)

But if you still want to try it, i will recommend this mamonde rose soothing gel above the nature republic aloe vera gel or even the face shop damyang bamboo soothing gel. AND for those who love rose scent, you should definitely try this.

(tapi kalau girls masih mau coba, aku bakalan recommend mamonde rose soothing gel ini dari pada nature republic aloe dan the face shop damyang bamboo, dan untuk yang sangat suka bau mawar, soothing gel.ini adalah pilihan yang tepat)

Thank you very much for reading my blog and i promise, i will be posting more often haha

Review: innisfree green tea cleansing water

Hi all, back again with another review. Maybe some of you wonder why i always write products review and i have no other topic, but actually my blog is a way to channel my obsession towards korean cosmetic. Having lots of good thing with no one to share about and care about can drive me insane! (you know when you have a very good lipstick color o when you use it no one ask you about the oobrand and no one cares?) well, through writting blog i can help people out there who are looking for options and reviews before buying (i know because i always do that)

Okay, so now i'm going to review my newest cleansing product, (i bought 3 which are the face shop rice cleansing foam, the face shop   bubble calming seed

and this) it is the innisfree green tea cleansing water.

To be honest, i was interested in the product because of its design, it looks so sleek and nature and i fell in love at once.

It came in a bulky container and the content is 300ml. The bottle is transparent plastic so you can easily see how many product left. It comes with a very handy pump, unlike the regular pump, this pump has the shapes of bowl and all we need is to put cotton pad on the pump bowl and press down. Two pump is enough to wet the cotton pad. But be careful, you need to cover the whole bowl with the cotton pad and press is slowly otherwise the product will burst out and it will get messy (it sometimes happen when i was in hurry) but overall i like this pump.

Next, for the green tea lovers, this cannot satisfy your hope since the green tea smell is different from the usual green tea smell. It does have a hint of greentea but it is also mixed with flowery smell. The smell is subtle though so it doesn't really bother me.

For the performance, i have to say i really love this product. The texture is very watery and cooling. And it can remove makeup very well, even for the water proof type! It can remove my memebox eye liner easily with just one swipe. I don't need to pull or force to swipe it.

I have a sensitive and dry skin but this doesn't break me out and it feels very moisturizing afterwards.

Sometimes when i wear no makeup at night, i will swipe this green tea cleansing water and just rinse it with water. It leaves my face damp and smooth. And i can feel the moisturizing properties well.

And one thing that can encourage you to buy, it is 100 percent made of green tea. Since the first ingredient is green tea and not just water. The price is also cheap for such a good cleansing water, i bought it for Rp150.000 online or around $15 so it is definitely worth to try!

Will i purchase it again? Yes of course and i'm thinking about trying the calming water version and the minimum line of innisfree. See you later, bye

review: nature republic aloe soothing gel

Hello again, today i'm going to review my recent skincare family. The super famous Nature Republic aloe soothing gel. I notice every korean brand will have the same aloe gel product but nature republic is the only one that gets super attention. Perhaps due to its multi function advertising?

i've been running out of my etude collagen cream and i have no intention to repurchase it, meanwhile my skincare product will be coming on next week so i need something to replace it temporary.

I got a rather sensitive skin this lately due to the cheap viva cleansing milk, i somehow borrowed my mom's cleansing milk, it was a local product and super cheap (only Rp 5000) i thought it will do nothing harm on my skin since it was only cleansing milk, but it turned out catastrophe.

I got raging red acnes for a month! Every time one spot has healed the other would appear instantly. It was really ache since the acne is deep within my skin more like swollen parts. I even blame the skinfood product and i swear i will never buy it forever! But i was wrong, it was the damn cleansing milk. Sorry skinfood, i still adore you.

Back to the product, i purchased this gel merely because of the soothing effect. It contains 92% pure aloe vera and the other 8% is chemical things such as alchohol which is quite high and it also contains perfume. Well both of them are well known for drying the skin and none of the alchohol products that i have can satisfy my super dry skin.

This product has a clear transparent gel texture. It cools down my skin upon the first application.

The scent is refreshing, not too strong. You can only smell the scent when you put your nose on it cause once it applied on skin you barely can detect it. The scent is a mixture of faint aloe vera smell and subtle citrus smell.

Now let's test the multi functions claim!
1. Face moisturizer: well it does what it says. It makes my skin moist and soft, but unfortunately the effect doesn't last very long. Only 1-2 hours and it will disappear. So i need to re use it again. Actually this works well for daily moisturizer, when the weather is hot and humid and you need something light on your skin. But my fellow told me that it feels dry on his skin, well because it contains alchohol it dries up so fast and it leaves tightening effect and some people may not like the effect since it can be considered as drying the skin.

2. Body moisturizer: well, i love this function! Since the product came in 300ml jar, it can be used for the whole body. I use this right after the shower and before i apply my face shop body essence. It makes my skin softer and very cool. Haha

3. Face mask: take a huge amount of this product and apply generously all over your face. Wait for 10 minutes then wash off. I found that it is very cooling and soothing for my skin, but actually it leaves no effect other than cooling down my skin.

4. Hair mask: i do not notice any special effect that it has


5. After shave: well i guess this will work for soothing the irritated skin cause by shaving

6. Eyelashes vitamin: this doesn't work


7. Nail and cuticle gel cream: this is a very promising nail and cuticle gel, eventhough the effect will not last long.

8. Swollen eyes: i have no swollen eyes so i don't know how it can soothe swollen eyes. But because of the cooling effect, i guess it will work well

9. Makeup base: i don't know wether this could act as a primer or act as a pore cover since it doesn't do anything as a makeup base. It covers nothing and hide nothing.

Overall, this is a good poduct for soothing the skin but do not really rely on it as your skincare product since it doesn't do much. Will i purchase it again? Maybe since i like the cooling effect during the hot days.

review: holika holika petit bb cream # ouncing

Hey hey hey, do not be fooled by cheap price! I got this bb cream a week ago from one of my student when she went to kuching. Actually i have no intention to purchase it but well my student said it is a good product so let's give it a try..

So this bb cream is called petit bb cream and it comes in 5 variant, bouncy, shimmering , moisture, aqua and clear. At first i have my eye on the shimmering one since i love dewy and shimmering finish, but it was not available.

So the next to nothing is The bouncy type. It contains collagen and caviar extract to maintain skin elasticity and suppleness. It comes in 30ml yellow plastic tube with bouncy writtings all over it. Well actually the price is very cheap it is only 38rm or in indonesia i can found it for Rp75.000 online. Very very cheap for a korean bb cream. The scent smells like artificial flower fruity scent, very strong and i don't like it.

Next, for the performance, it comes in one shade and it has yellow tone. As you know my face tends to have pink tone and i don't fit well with bb cream that has dark shade cream (except brtc).

So when i applied it on my face it turned very white (i have a very light asian skintone and this is 2-3 tone lighter than me almost ghostly) i was very scared it couldn't match my skintone but then it oxidized. Now it is time for concealer, i used etude house surprise essence concealer in no 1, and.. My face is two tone darker than the concealer (i swear it got darken) while actually i had no problem at all with this concealer, usually it always suits my skintone.

Next, the coverage is very terrible! I can still see all my spots and discolorations. It indeed cover some redness but not enough to be called good. And one thing more, it makes my face feel itchy

I've never felt as disappointed as this when it comes to korean cosmetic. Evethough it is cheap, it is still just a waste of money. So i will not recommend it for anyone at all.

Sorry for the rather angry post haha but truly this is such a shame for a holika holika product

But i still need to Thank my student eline who gave me this bb cream since she was so kind

,  thank you

review: etude house dust cut mist

HI all it has been a long time i never write anything from etude house. I'VE been trying many other brands and forgot to buy something from etude.

Well, today i would like to share my opinion on etude house dust cut mist. I bought this product last year and it was a hit.

It claims to block dust and dirt from our face. They even have a small test to try it out by blowing small dust on 2 pink balloons. The one that has been coated by dust cut mist has lesser dust.

So if we spray this mist it should act as a shield on our face. I still remember my first impression one year ago when i used this mist while riding motorcycle. Usually my face will feel sticky due to the dust and dirt out there but    when i used this mist all over my face, i could feel my face less sticky and still feel very fresh even after a whole day out there.

It contains 150 ml and the bottle is bulky so definitely not travel friendly. Etude house states that it also contains bamboo water for moisturizing effect but lol i feel none. Haha

The mist is transparent clear with crisp flower scent. The scent is pretty strong but still tolerable and it quickly disappear after the mist has dried.  the consistency is very runny and can completely dry after 15-30 seconds.

Once it has dried i could feel (and see) my face tightened. Etude house says that this means the mist is working. It kinda building transparent layer on my face. Well i could see something like transparent film on my face.

One thing that i notice is once it combines together with makeup it doesn't work quite well. It can't form the layer nicely. Or maybe i can't feel it since my face has been coated by the skincare regime, base makeup and bb cream?

I prefer to use it at night when i put nothing on my face except toner. I could feel the effect and when i wake up in the morning, my face feels less oily and dirty.

So, is it a good product? Well if you want to protect you face from dirt and dust out there you could try this product

but overall i think this product is just a gimmick, sorry etude house, i still love you but this product is just a nope for me.

review: the face shop brightening capsule body wash + body essence

My mom likes to say, hey if you're really into korean products why don't you buy some body wash and lotion too?

Well, i do want but something always blocking my way! (yes, it's you pretty shades of lipstick, don't turn around! I know it's you!) hehe. So i've been eyeing this faceshop brightening capsule body wash and essence for a long time but i can only got it now.

The reason why i choose face shop because it offers whitening effect. Well, actually no whitening lotion applied topically can whitened your skin. You know what i meant, if you're born with darker skin nothing can help you except chemical injection, but hey! We need to embrace ourselves no matter what kind of complexion we are.

But if your originally skin got darkened overtime by sun expose or dirt this could help you pretty good. Remember i like to say it is more to the brightening effect than whitening.

So, back on the review. The bottle is not as big as i expected. I even wondered wether it contains 300ml of product or not at the first time so i checked on the back and it written 300ml. Pheww

Both of the products come in pump dispenser. This is very handy since you just need to pump pump pump. Hehe. The box is almost square and bulky, with the picture of white lily on front.
At back, mostly the explanations are dominated by korean words so it is useless for me to see it. The ingredient is written in english. So when i have spare time when taking a bath (while i wait for my hair mask pack) i compare the ingredient of the body wash with regular lifebuoy liquid soap.

I found the face shop contains such a little ingredients and most of them are plant extract. Well, i guess it's good enough for my sensitive skin. (i ever experienced rashes on my chest and neck from using lux whitening body wash. I was really bad and left such horrible scratch marks because it was so itchy. I cure it using raw aloe vera sap, the one that my mom plant on our backyard).

The product is a transparent liquid and It

produces less bubble foam than other soap. The smell is a very refreshing citrus (again like the innisfree) and disappear once i rinse it.

It leaves no sticky residue like dove soap (if you know what i meant) but it is not squeaky clean either. It's a perfect balance between them. I love it so much.

Now, the essence. The bottle is exactly the same as the body wash. If without the essence writting, i could not differ them. It has the same scents again.

Well, if i hear essence i thought it's gonna be like nivea serum texture. Still lotion but with faster absorbtion. But i was wrong, it is a milky color essence, the texture is similar to our face essence and it absorbs really fast. Just like face essence.

It leaves no greasy residue and one thing that i really appreciate, it doesn't feel greasy even when i splash it with water after that. I don't know maybe it penetrate into my skin 100%?

It makes my skin feels smoother. But it can't quench my skin's thirst yet. My body skin is super dry, but this is good enough, better than nothing.

For the effect, i can see a slightly brightening effect on my skin. So i guess it works but i just need to be patience.

I recommend this product for people who are looking for daily lotion without greasy feelings but for those who need extra moisture, this will not fulfill the hope.

Thank you very much for reading my blog, i'll write to you soon.

This is how the bottles lool like

review: tonymoly prestige carat lipstick spf 15 #1

Well today i will be reviewing a lipstick from tonymoly. I got this lipstick as a present and actually it has never cross my mind to buy lip product fro

m tonymoly but everything always has the first time right?

This lipstick is called tonymoly prestige carat lipstick. If i read a word of prestige, snail line will come to my mind (secret key prestige snail line hehe) and carat should be related with diamond? I'm not really sure about the meaning of the name and there are no description in the box that can help.

One thing i do noticed is the ingredient. It has a lot of ingredients just for a simple lipstick (it needs two sides of the carton box to write it down. If i have to judge, it contains too much (?) material for just a lipstick, range from vegetable oils (sunflower and friends) collagen, fish extract (?), and many fruit extracts (strawberry, sweet cherry, kiwi, etc) or maybe this is the meaning of prestige?

For the price, i do not know. And i do not dare to ask my friend hehe. The design is definitely simple, almost look cheap if without the gold circle on top. I couldn't say i like the design since it's all black and there are no writings at all. No one will know i'm wearing tony moly haha.

I got the first shade. It almost has the same shade with my memebox i'm lipstick but this one tends to look a bit more orangey. It lasts longer than my memebox evethough it's a palre shade.

I really like the smell, some what it smells fruity and very fresh.

It is a moist lipstick and i love moist lipstick. I don't need to exfoliate or putting any balm before the lipstick. I think it's emphasizing the lip care side

Overall i like the lipstick quiet much but i don't know, i just don't have any interest in purchasing the same line even though it has such a good quality. I do want to try the hyuna signature lipstick for the next couple of month, do tell me if you have tried it!

mind the pose, hehe no filter in this picture. The color looks nude

Thank you very much for reading this, see ya

i'm sorry for the imperfect bullet

the color is indeed peachy coral, very pretty

this is the box and the tube, elegance style

review: innisfree jeju volcanic black head out balm (melting)

Hi all, is there anyone who doesn't suffer from blackhead and white head problem? If it's you, then You will be one of the luckiest person on earth. Lol

I may not suffer in such a major case but i do have blackheads on my nose and cheek. Every morning when i check my face on the mirror with direct sunlight, i will see lots of blackhead on my nose and it has been a pain in the ass. (you know what i meant, you are trying to pinch it out with extractor but you know you can't never do that without creating big pores and inflamation)

So when i saw this product, i immediately attracted to it. It claims to melt down the blackheads with the jeju volcanic formula. Melt down? Seriously?

Ok, let's get started. First, as usual innisfree product always comes with recycle paper box and the writings are written using the soy ink. Somehow i really like the paper box. It screams mature and earth lovers.

The container is round and bulky. I didn't expect it could be so big, maybe a little bit bigger than innisfree sebum powder. But for a balm, it's quite big and can last for a very long time considering you can only use a little bit product everytime.

The scent is somewhat similar to my innisfree shampoo. Kinda like citrusy smell but some people describe it as herbal smell. The color is opaque white.

Now, the texture is pretty much like a balm or ointment that you spread on your chest when you have cold. It melts on skin directly when you apply it.

On the box it states that we need to massage it for 3 - 5 minutes and wash it with lukewarm water. But here i say, rub as long as you want and wipe it off with tissue, then you can rinse it with water.

It works like a magic on my skin, once i rub it for 2 minutes more or less, i couls feel tiny little granule coming out from my pores. And it is not from the balm itself since it doesn't contain any granule. When i pick it, the color is white, i guess it's the white head. So this product also works on white head too! (i don't need

to by the etude house zero sebum melting gel haha)

Now, time to wipe it off. I can see little black dots on the tissue but not as much as i want. I rinse it off and my nose area feels so smooth. Really really smooth. There are no visible blackheads anymore. Well, i need to check the morning mirror first.

So, the next morning, i still see some blackheads on my nose even though i cannot touch it. I guess it has sink deep into my pores and also it has hair. You know, blackheads with hair is the most difficult one. I think i should get medical treatment for that one day.

I give this product for my sister and it works amazingly on her face. She has tons of blackhead and whitehead on her nose until you can see the rough pattern with bare eyes. And when she wears makeup, it can't stick to her skin because of the blackhead.

This product removes let say 75 % of her black and white heads so yeah this is a wonderful product with such a cheap price. I bought it for Rp 70.000 but you can find it for rp. 50.000.

I really recommend this product for anyone really! So thank you for reading my blog, see you gals soon

This is the box and the container. It's very earthy don't you think?

this is how the balm looks like

review: the skinfood argan oil hair mask pack

Next i will be reviewing the skinfood argan silk hair mask. Actually this is quiet a popular product from skinfood. I ever tried the sample size one and i love it

Hair mask is different from conditioner since you need to let it sits on your head for about 5 minutes and it targets on giving noutishment on hair. You can also put iy on your scalp but you can't put conditioner on your scalp since we can never wash it thoroughly. And hair mask is also different from creambath. While creambath needs to be massage and leaves on for about 1 hour, hair mask only need five minutes to sit on your scalp.

Now about the product, The bottle is bigger than i thought. It contains 200ml of product. For the packaging, it is so skinfood. A little shabby and reminds me of old and dusty potion from a witch house hehe. But on the contrary, i love the packaging so much.

The smell is quiet heavy buttery scent. I don't really love the smell but that is the thing from skinfood, they always fail at product's scent. (they claim it to be natural, have you ever smell the black sesame mask? It was awful) hehehe

The product's consistency is yellow buttery cream and it doesn't leave that greasy conditioner feeling after being wash off.

It leaves my hair as smooth as silk and not weighing down.

It has the same problem as the innisfree, the scent doesn't linger for a long time. But it is such a nice hair product and i really recommend it for those who has rough, dry, and coarse hair (like mine) and cannot comb your hair smoothly until the very end.

I will not stop my hunting on hair product since i really need it and there are tons of product that i need to buy hehehe..

Well, that's all for my review today, thank you very much, see yaa

this is how the packaging looks like

the back part and the ingredient as well

review: innisfree camellia essential shampoo

Today, i would like to share about my current favourite korean hair products. This is my first time reviewing hair product, other than cosmetics or face products. Actually, i had bought the products 3 weeks ago but i decided to do the review now because i just want to test the effectiveness of the products before doing the review.

The first one that i'm going to review is innisfree camellia essential shampoo. There are not much product's information that i can find either in the internet nor on the bottle itself. I simply bought this shampoo because it's innisfree hehe.

So before i continue i need to tell you the condition of my hair. I have dry hair and scalp. Sometimes it can get flaky and fall off like dandruff, but it is not dandruff since no anti dandruff shampoo that can cure it. (i have experience this since I was 7). Recently, i was going to cut my hair short. But the hair dresser always refuses to cut my hair because she said it's beautiful (lol) and there is no need for me to cut it short.

There are no local shampoos that give good result to my hair, and it was getting worse. It was so dry until i can't comb until the end of my hair and i hate it very much. I always tie a bun to hide the damaged hair and i tied it even when i sleep because i don't want to see how coarse and dry was my hair. It caused my hair to loss. And it kept loss until my hair got thinner.

One day, i came across an instagram page that sell many kinds of korean product and this innisfree shampoo was a new product in their shop. Without any hesitation i ordered it along with the skinfood argan silk hair mask.

The innisfree shampoo is housed in a very big red plastic bottle (300ml). With a simple minimalist design. The bottle cap is the click type one. I really like the design since it doesn't look cheap and the clean and minimalist design is really pretty. As the phrase says less is more.

The shampoo is liquid transparent gel (since it doesn't contain any coloring). The smell is a very refreshing citrus smell. I guess it's from the jeju orange peel.

When i checked the ingredients of shampoo, i can see that it contains low chemical substance and has more organic material in it than any other shampoo that i have ever tried.

For the result, i can feel my hair much more alive and without weighing down my hair. It gives my hair healthy glow and volume. So far, i quiet like it.

But it also has some drawbacks, the smell doesn't linger on my hair for a long time (while i really love the scent)

After a while, my hair tends to get used to it so the effectiveness isn't as good as the first time

In two days, i will feel my hair so weight and oily (i don't know why) and i need to clean it again.

Overall, it's a good shampoo but not good enough for me. (how do i find my true match shampoo, hello universe?)

So, that is my innisfree shampoo, i have another review on hair product after this so stay tune!

The design is very pretty and minimalist

review: skinfood rice mask wash off

Today, i will be reviewing my all time favourite, the skinfood rice mask wash off. Oh my God i love this product so much. Well, let me tell you why!

It leaves my skin incredibly heavenly smooth. Really! You should give it a try, and you will never regret it! (so much for the promotional word hehehe)

I already smeared this mask on every people's face in my house and they are all love it.

This mask is mainly made of rice bran water and rice scrub. Even though it is named as a mask, i will say it is a scrub mask. Since the rice seed works as a scrub but It is not as abbrasive as the black sugar mask

It contains less scrub than the black sugar one and it is much more mild and gentle. This is a perfect choice for those who feel the black sugar mask is too painful to use. (i did feel it once ago)

It stated on the container to massage the mask for about 10-15 minutes. It is quiet a long time to continuously massage my face hehe, so i set timer on my phone to remind me when i should stop massaging.

Skinfood recommends to wash off with lukewarm water, but i find lukewarm water is not always available anytime when i'm using it (lazyness and due to the fact of it is not very easy to make lukewarm water since i need to boil water and then mix it with cool water to adjust the temperature) so i use the usual tap water.

The effect is really wonderful. It makes my face looks brighter (but not as bright as when i take off the innisfree mask sheet), heavenly smoother and it cleanse my pore pretty well.

I could notice the sebum on my face decreases and the bumb around my nose and cheek caused by sebum and blackheads feel so smooth like i just step out from face clinic

I ask everyone in my house to try this mask (i love to share my korean things to my house mate! Lucky for you who live with me! Haha) and they love it as well.

But my household servant does say that this mask cause irritation on her face due to the excessive scrub movement (well she scrub her face as hard face as she scrub the clothes haha) so you just need to be careful not to scrub to hard because it can irritate your skin.

This lately, i became quiet addicted to skinfood and i'm planning to buy another skinfood product. If you have any skinfood productvthat you like please tell me since i really need your insights..

Thank you very much for sparing your time reading this, see ya

This is how the bottle looks like

review: memebox x pony smoky eye makeup set

Hi all, it has been quite long since my last post. I got so busy this lately and i forgot to do my post. I bought few items in this week. But today i would like to do my review on my very first memebox.

If you have been following the korean makeup trends, you would be familiar with the word "memebox". It is an online shopping shop in canada like testerkorea or jolse but it sells only korean cosmetic and product. Its main target is to sell korean products to the american but it has shipped globally now.

I was interested in this memebox because it delivers a hand curated box with lots of korean product inside with different theme and the price is so cheap rather than buying the products separately.

And this few years they have collaborated with korean top beauty vloggers such as pony, so young, yeondokyung, and few others, to create their own cosmetic line. (i hope i can be one of them. Haha)

Memebox also produce their own makeup line which is called memebox xo. Even though the brand is memebox, you don't need to worry, for they produce such a high quality product with cheap price.

Now for the review, there are tons of other boxes in their website and i'm so confuse in selecting one of them.. One day i came across the mAkeup tutorial on youtube. It was about pony teaching how to achieve smoky eyes feat memebox. And when i checked on the website, they do sell the set. It is called pony x memebox smoky eye set. It consists of 6 different products. It has 2 eyeliners, 1 lipstick, 1 eyeshadow pallete with 8 colours, 1 face brightener + blush, 1 mascara and it is only around $40 or in indonesia Rp 750.000 since i bought it from online shop.

First, i will review the eyeliners. It has such a strange name, "i'm eyeliner" hehehe. It consists of 5 colours but i only got 2 which are the moonstone (brown) and night (black). It is a gel type pencil eyeliner. Don't be fooled by the brand's name for this is such a quality product. It is a waterproof, smudge proof and can stay for 24 hours. I never used it for 24 hours yet but i used it for More than 16 hours and it was still good without ceasing or smudging. It is a double ended type with the pencil on top and a sponge on the bottom. Memebox also provided the pencil sharpener in the middle. I'm in love with this product. The color is super pigmented and very easy to use even for beginner. One thing that is lack from this eyeliner is, it is hard to remove. You will need a waterproof makeup remover to remove it. I'm planning to buy all the shades since it is so cheap and effective.

Next, i'll be reviewing the mascara. It is called "i'm mascara" hehehe. The color is in jet black. Ok, i need to be honest with you, i rarely used mascara since i don't have one haha.. I bought so many products and i always forgot to put mascara in the list. But everytime i do my makeup, i always feel there is something missing and its a mascara. I was planning to buy innisfree skinny mascara but because i already ordered this box, i cancel the mascara since i will not be using 2 mascaras. It will just spend my money Hehe. The mascara it self is waterproof. The quality is average, nothing special. The lasting effect is the same as the eyeliner. I can't say i love this mascara or not since i Haven't tried lots of mascara yet.

The third review is about the lipstick. It is called "i'm lipstick" too. In shade pure pink beige. I never had any beige color lipstick but this is definitely worth to try. At first, this shade looks weird on bare face without makeup since it is a pale colour and doesn't really stand out. But once you applied makeup and put this on your lips, it will look so beautiful and natural. It has matte finish but doesn't dry on lips. It feels creamy and moist on lips but with matte finish (not the powdery matte feeling if you know what i mean). I really love this lipstick and i'm planning to buy the whole shades. For the lasting performance, i can say it lasts for 3 - 4 hours without eating

since it is a pale colour.

Next, the blush which is called, pony galaxy pink blush. This is not a part of memebox's cosmetic line but this belongs to the pony line along with the eyeshadow pallete. The blush has 4 blocks of color. The colors are mostly in pink shades. At first I thought it was not very pigmented because the color looked too sheer. But once i applied it, it looked so beautiful. Very natural and bright at once. It contains very small shimmer particle and this make my cheek glow. Unfortunately, pony only has one shade for this blush and they do not include any brush for applying it,  while in the box it stated that it has a brush included in the package.

Last but not the least, is the main star this set. The pony season 2 eyeshadow pallete. The box has the same design as the blush box. They have galaxy pattern with night black sky. Pony has created 3 seasons of eye pallete. The first on consists mainly with brown colour. The second one (the one that i have) has more variety of colors. It has purple, brown, nude, and pink shade. But this pallete doesn't has matte color. It's all about sparkle!

The colors are very pigmented and long lasting, even for the sheer colors. I think pony's collection is all about a good quality product with cheap price and i really recommend it fot anyone.

I'm kinda attracted to other memebox products and i'm planning to buy the other memebox collaboration boxes. Please let me know if you have any curiosity on those boxes. Thank you very much, see yaa

Review: etude house big eyes maker + cute eyes maker

Hi, today i'll review the well known Etude house Big eye maker and cute eye maker. I saw many online shops kind of confuse about this two products. They keep wrongly label it.

Etude house big eye maker is thinner and slightly shorter than the cute eye maker. They also have different purpose.

Etude house big eye maker is suppose to make our eyes look bigger while the cute eye maker is for making aegyo sal.

For you who haven't know, aegyo sal is a liitle cute bag on the under eye. Not many people have it naturally. I have a friend who has it and it makes her smile looks so cute. This aegyo sal is also called as the baby fat. If you happen to have a baby sister or cousin or son, you can notice they have a small fold under their eyes. And this is not an eye bag due to late night sleep.

I really interested in both products a long time ago but could not have it since i still have so many other things to buy hehehe

So, this is the review, i'm going to start with the cute eye maker first. It is a double ended stick. At first i thought i need to pull the cap, so i pulled it and guess what it fell off. Hehe. Actually it's a screw type of cap.

The applicator is a nice black sponge and the cream eyeshadow covered 3/4 of it. The applicator it self doesn't have any product, but the product is in the cap itself. I thought it's going to be powdery but it is actually a cream type product.

One end has the white shimmering shadow while the other has a brown less shimmering shadow.

The color is not really pay off and actually the applicator is too big so i tend to swipe too much of it.

I do not find this product very useful since the white color is very sheer and the brown color is just not enough brown. Many people said the holika holika under eye jeweled is so much better but i think i'll stop buying under eye product first hehehehe. I think it is better to have surgery hahaha.

Next, etude house big eye maker. This product suppose to make our eyes appear larger by giving shadow at the end corner of eyes and highlight on the under eye.

The tube is just a simple princessy pink color. With the cute writing and necklace pictures. I found the applicator is much better than the cute eye make since it is smaller and fit my eyes perfectly. The white shimmer works better on the under eye than the cute eye maker. But the brown shade is too dark for under eye.

I don't know i should love this product or not since i haven't mastered it yet. I've seen the review of these product from another blogger and it seems very good.

From both products my favourite will be the big eye maker since it can be used as eyeliner without looking too much. I also love the creamy formula of both products and they stay  for more than 8 hours.

If you have any questions regarding this, just leave a comment below and i'll respond it ASAP. Thank you so much for reading my blog. Tadaa

Review: holika holika petit aqua jelly bb cream #natural beige

Today, the review will be on my current bb cream. The holika holika petite jelly aqua bb cream. Actually it is an old product and has been in the market for few years but I would like to give it a try since i've ever tried their finish bcream or something and it was really good.

The bottle design is pretty because it is made of glass and has a jelly shape. Unfortunately the lid is made of tin with built in spatula which feels a little bit cheap.

The spatula can't reach the bottom end of the bottle so you need to dig it with small spoon or fingers.

scent is flowery and smells nice to me. But for some people, they might find this scent too strong
The consistency is indeed jelly like. It's not creamy nor oily like most of the bb cream. It's very bouncy and doesn't drip.

Once you spread it on your face, you'll feel instant cold like cold water being spread on your face. I guess its the effect of mint water.

It dries up pretty fast, so you need to make sure that you blend it well before it sets. It glides on my face smoothly and i love it very much. Once it settled, you can press your face with your palm and feel its so cold.

The coverage is light to medium and leaves semi matte finish. It still leaves a bit glow, but not an oily glow, more like a shine deep from your own skin and it looks very natural.

The lasting hour is 5 - 6 hours. One thing that you need to be careful that it clings on your skin. So, make sure you cleanse your face well otherwise it will clog your pores.

One thing that lack from this product is the design. It is made from thick jelly shaped glass and you know what will happen if you accidently drop it! It will break. I know it can make the product looks more beautiful but still i anxious about dropping it. (you know morning time when everything is hustle bustle and you need to get ready as quick as possible).

But overall, i'll give this bb cream 4 points for the formula and the performance. It only lacks in the design and the semi matte finish since i opt for a dewy finisb but actually it's not even a minor since the problem is i didn't expect it to be matte. He he

I recommend this for people who has oily skin, or to those who want matte finish bb cream and feels sick of oily bb cream.he he. And for those who are searching an everyday bb cream, this is worth to try.

Below i included some of the picture, thank you for reading my blog and see you in my next post.
