Review : Etude Lasting Kiss Tint pk003 bubbly love

Hey girls, today i would like to review something that i have for quite sometimes ago. I've written the review but it couldn't be post and there were few times when i accidentally deleted my own writtings. So here you go...

(hai, hari ini aku mau review produk yang sebenarnya aku udah punya dari  beberapa minggu yang lalu dan aku juga sebenarnya udah tulis reviewnya tapi ga sengaja kehapus, jadi perlu extra semangat untuk menulis reviewnya lagi..)

Few weeks ago, i got this kiss lasting tint. There are 5 shades range from orange, pink, red and terracota color. I wanted to take the pink and terracota shade but at the end i just got the pink shade. My pink shade is in pk003 bubbly love. In the official swatch, it looks like salmon-pink but in reality, it leans to neon bright pink. The pink is so bright that everyone keep glaring on my lips! I just use this shade twice all over this time since the color is too bright and i don't want lots of attention. (but maybe i'll wear it during Christmas?) 

(beberapa bulan yang lalu aku dapat kiss lasting tint ini. Dalam seri ini ada 5 warna, mulai dari pink, orange, merah dan merah bata. Sebenarnya aku pengen dapat yang warna pink dan merah bata tapi akhirnya cuman dapat yang merah bata. Warna pink ku adalah Pk003 bubbly love. Di swatch official etude, warnanya kaya pink salmon gitu, tapi kenyataannya, warnanya lebih ke pink neon terang. Pink nya terang banget sampai orang2 pada ngelirik bibir ku terus.. Jadi ga pede pakainya, selama ini sih baru pakai 2x satu untuk swatch, satu kali lagi untuk jalan2 tapi pada dilihatin terus..) 

So, the box is standard carton box. It is decorated in black and pink shade (black pink?)  it also has scattered alphabets and if you use your imagination, it will form lasting and tint word. Inside, the product is house in dual tube. One tube for the main color and the other tube for gloss part. The separator is in black color with lasting kiss tint written on it. 

(kemasannya ada carton box biasa. Karton boxnya berwarna hitam pink dan ada dekorasi huruf huruf acak gitu. Tapi kalau dilihat jelas2 sih huruf acaknya akan membentuk tulisan lasting sama tint. Lippiesnya sendiri dikemas dalam konsep 2 tabung. Satu tabung untuk warna utamanya dan satu lagi untuk gloss.) 

The main color tube is decorated with scattered alphabets again. While the gloss tube is decorated with geometric diamond-like line. Overall, the design is really nice although not very luxurious. 

(tabung untuk warna utamanya didekorasi lagi dengan huruf huruf acak. Sedangkan bagian glossnya di dekorasi dengan bentuk geometric permata. Secara keseluruhan, design nya sangat bagus tapi ga berkesan mewah sih..)

The main color applicator is the standard doe foot shape with hairy brush. It picks up a little bit too much product so you have to be careful. The gloss applicator is a brush type, like the usual lip brush, i think this kind of applicator is the best since it is in medium size so we don't need to worry about the amount of gloss. 

(aplikator untuk warna utamanya standard doe shape, dan bertekstur bulu gitu. Menurutku sih aplikator begini cenderung mengambil kebanyakan produk jadi perlu hati2 untuk pengaplikasiannya. Aplikator di bagian glossy bentuknya seperti lip brush biasa. Menurutku aplikator di gloss ini malah lebih bagus karena ga ngambil kebanyakan produk dan bentuknya lebih kecil.)

Next, the main color smells like candy while the gloss has no scent at all. 

(untuk warna utama, wanginya kayak permen sedangkan yang glossy ga ada wangi apapun) 

Okay, about the performance. When i heard "lasting" word, it meant nothing to me since lots of product claim to be lasting but actually they don't! So i have no high expectation at all with this etude product. But the difference started to show. 

(untuk performanya, ketika aku dengar kata lasting, aku sih ga harap banyak karena banyak banget produk yang mengklaim long lasting/tahan lama tapi hasilnya juga pudar. Jadi aku ga harap apapun dari produk etude terbaru ini.. Tapi kemudian perbedaannya mulai muncul..) 

When i applied the main color, it started to set into matte finish, and after 5 seconds it can't be smudge anymore. There are no colors left on tissue when you pat it! Even when you apply the gloss, the color still not smudge. 

(ketika aku mengaplikasikan warna utamanya, hasilnya jadi matte gitu dan dalam 5 detik, warnanya udah ga bisa di smudge lagi. Lap pakai tisu juga warnanya ga nempel sama sekali. Pas pakai glossnya, warnanya ga ikut keseret kayak lip stick biasa dan ga pudar!  

It creates a kind of thin rubber span that covers our whole lips tightly. But unlike any other, the span won't crack, no matter how you purse your lips, the color won't crack. I ate and drink and wait until 9 pm (i use it since 10 am) the color did not fade at all! It is still as bright as the morning application! The gloss fade of course but the main color still the same. 

(lip tint ini seperti membentuk lapisan karet di bibir yang rapat banget. Tapi ga seperti yang lain, lapisan ini ga akan crack/pecah walaupun kita senyum atau mengerucutkan bibir.. *_* (maaf aku agak susah tulis review dalam bahasa indonesia). Selanjutnya tes makan dan minum dan tunggu sampai jam 9 malam, warnanya ga pudar! Memang di bagian dalam bibir warnanya hilang karena bagian dalam bibir kan basah. Tapi di bagian luar semua warnanya masih sebagus yang aku aplikasikan tadi pagi. Glossnya udah pudar tapi warna utamanya tetap bagus.)

The most hate-love part is when washing it down. I can't remove it with my cleansing foam and since i ran out of makeup remover, i scrub my lips strongly to get rid of the color. In the end my lips feel hurt.. But it wasn't the product fault for being too good to be true.. 

(bagian yang paling aku benci-suka adalah ketika menghapus lip tint ini. Asli susah banget! Karena lagi ga ada makeup remover, aku pakai cleansing foam berkali2 dan di gosok kuat supaya lepas warnanya.. Tapi kan ini bukan salah produknya hehe.. 

Overall, 5 stars for this kiss lasting tint! Beautiful shades plus hell-lasting tint! Definitely worth to try!

aloe soothing gel cream from skinfood

Hi, back again with another review. This time, it's the aloe soothing gel cream from skinfood. I got this for free and because of that, i do not have any special hope about it.

I thought it will be just the same as the other soothing gel that i've ever tried. But actually, it is quite different.

The packaging is very simple, it has no box, just plastic seal around it. When it came, it was a little bit leaking because the consistency is very runny. The jar is in pale green color and it has aloe picture on it. Very very usual.

The content was smaller too. It only contains 100ml of product while the other soothing gel is 300ml. But after i read the instruction (yes, skinfood provides the English translation although not thoroughly) it is designed for facial usage only. So unlike the other gel that can be used all over your body, this aloe soothing gel cream is specialized only for face. No wonder the amount is not that big.

Inside, you'll find a spatula and a lid separator. I personally do not like to use spatula to scoop creams, i think it is impractical and i enjoy dipping my finger a little bit and spread it with hands.. Practical and easy

The consistency as i said before, is very runny. Almost like gel toner but a bit sturdier. It contains 92% of aloe vera. The color is transparent. The smell is subtle and fresh. The natural ingredients are: 92% aloe vera gel (the first ingredients), tamarindus indica seed gum, witch hazel extract, portulaca oleracea extract. The rest are chemical ingredients.

The tamarindus indica seed gum is well know as skin conditioning agent, emmolient and humectant. The witch hazel is well known for soothe skin, accelerate healing of bruise and wound, reduce inflammation on pimples, spot and blemish control. While the portulaca oleracea extract function are anti inflammatory, anti fungal, anti microbacteria, and analgesic properties.

It claims to soothes, cools and hydrates the skin. So does it work? YES it does!!

This is the best gel cream ever! It really feels cool on my skin and it absorbs fast. It doesn't leave greasy feeling but leaves my face so smooth. And you know what's the best part?

I can see my face complexion better, my pores become invisible. My blemish spots are fading and i never had any breakout since then. I think all the healing ingredients really work because my acne wound has faded.. In this cold weather, sometimes i develop itchy bumpy skin, i'll just apply this cream thickly on the swelling spot and i can feel the cooling soothing effect. Soon, it is not itchy anymore.

Also, when i develop small acne, i'll just apply this gel thickly on the trouble area, the next morning, the acne will shrink down and few days later, i will be gone.

I really really recommend and love this product. I never had thought a gel cream can do such an amazing thing. The price is also very cheap. It also has a fluid toner as the complimentary, i think im going to get it soon..

Review: peripea blur pang whip bb shade 1 #whip ivory

In coherent with blur pang milk blue. I also got peripera blur pang whip bb. I thought whip bb is the sister of ink bb but actually whip bb is in blur pang line. Wrong thoughts..

The packaging is almost the same with my blur milk. It has milk carton box and the color is in the same pink peach. Mine is in the first shade, no 1 whip ivory. It is a neutral tone so it can match with either cool tone or warm tone. It doesn't leave grey cast.

The bottle itself looks so cute. It has spoid cap that you need to squeeze to get the product out. The applicator is shaped like spoon. I found that this applicator is not really nice since it traps the product inside and difficult to get it out. I wish peripera can make the spoon opening larger to make products easier to come out.

This bb cream is already equipped with SPF 30 PA+++ although it is not suggested to go out without sunscreen. It also contains many plants and fruit extract such as wintergreen leaf extract, vanilla extract, sunflower seed extract, centella asiatica extract, willow bark extract, and witch hazel extract. Last but not least, they also added goat milk and milk protein in this bb cream! So many nutritional ingredients for skin..

Next, the texture as the promotion stated feels like a whip cream for real! It looks thick but it spreads heavenly on face. I like the texture actually, it glides on smoothly without pulling to much skin.

It leaves dewy finish at first but will settle into semi matte finish with powdery feeling but still has little sheen.

It smells almost like sweet peach. I guess this bb cream is targeted for oily skin since it has semi matte finish. And i also feel little dry when using it, and without proper skincare beforehand, it can accentuate dry patches on skin.

The coverage is light. It blurs pore for sure but not covering blemishes or spots. You'll need a lot of amount of concealer to pair with it.

The lasting effect is very low, around 4-5 hours before it oxidized and starts to fade.

Overall, this is a nice product with the texture and the packaging as well as the ingredients. It is designed for daily natural makeup, not heavy makeup so the coverage is not that good. I guess this product is suitable for beginner usage or for teenagers. I personally like to wear it daily since it is lightweight and natural.
 
The price is Rp 165.000

Review: Peripera blur pang peach milk blur

As you know, i love peach as fruit and even as makeup or skincare. And this peripera blur pang teases me with peach variant. Peripera blur pang milk blur is actually a makeup base, and the blur pang series has 3 variants which are peach milk, banana milk, and pure milk.

As peripera official stated, peach milk blur acts as cc cream for tone up and vitality effect (CC effect). The banana blur milk is yellow tone base to correct dull complexion and pure milk is white base makeup for instant brightening effect.

Mine is in peach blur milk (of course). It contains 98% real peach juice and as well as other delicious fruits ingredients such as lemon and strawberry. It also contains new zealand colostrum milk so it performs as cosme-skincare product.

The packaging is super duper cute. The carton is shaped in milk carton box. And the tube is similar with water color can (it reminds me with it's skin baby face line). But the cap is small and i'm afraid to lost it.. It's in pale peach pink colour as well! Love love it..

Next, the cream is in pale pink shade as well. It glides on face really smooth. It instantly corrects skin tone and brighten my face. For the coverage, it is just a base so big no no for coverage. Blurring pore? It blurs pore to some extent but not too much and actually i don't have a really visible pore so i can't tell you about it.

Before it sets, it leaves glowy finish but after awhile, it will turn into powdery finiah with a bit sheen.. I usually just use it alone when i'm not going somewhere important. My skin looks as if it was born perfect..

It doesn't last long so if you're going to use it for the entire day, don't be shocked to come home and see your bare face again since it has no sustain power.. (i always need to remind my self that it is a base, not a CC or even BB. Peripera also being thoughtful by adding spf 30 PA++ for UV protection.

But overall, i like it and i'm going to try the banana one as well.. Psstt it smells like peach fruit!

Rate: 4.5

Review: etude house eyebrow countouring multi pencil #brownies

Hello, i'm back with another review. It is the new eyebrow makeup from etude. As you know, i always use eyeshadow powder as eyebrow color but sometimes, it doesn't come in handy. The last eyebrow pencil that i tried was from etude too, and it wasn't long lasting at all. So i never purchased any eyebrow pencil since then.

But the new eyebrow product caught my attention. It is a multi product in one container. Yes! It's etude house eyebrow countouring multi pencil. The name is rather mouthfuls.. ^v*

It is a hybrid type product. It has 3 functions, it can be used as eyebrow pencil, eyebrow mascara and brow bone highlighter. All in one container! I was really interested, especially in the eyebrow mascara part.



It has only 4 colours, honey blonde, chocolate milk, brownies and dark chocolate. I picked the third one brownies since i thought medium brown was right for me. But i was wrong, i should have picked the milk chocolate instead since the brownies is a little bit darker than my hair and makes me look older.

So back with the product! The first time it arrived, i was surprised to see how long it was! It is an all-in-one product so i guessed it would be bigger than the old drawing eyebrow series but this one is surely long! You can imagine yourself waving magic wand with it.. *v*

The products are separated in 3 sections. The color cap is where the pencil is. The middle part is the highlighter and the bottom black part is the mascara. It has written instruction on all the sections so it's easy to understand.

The pencil is shaped in heart shape. It looks lovely and surely works well on defining the eyebrow. The texture of the pencil is rather waxy. It's not a pencil type like other product. You might find your eyebrow hair crumbles on the color, but don't worry, you just need a screw brush to blend the color and it will be pretty and natural.

Next, the eyebrow mascara. I have to say, i really like the mascara part (aside from the darker colour, but it was my fault). The brush is so skinny and reminded me of innisfree skinny browcara which is more more expensive. The brush picks just enough amount and really really good.

The highlighter on the other hand, was just so - so. It doesn't provide enough highlight and the shimmers are too sheer. I usually just use it as nose highlighter but i do not really hope for extra brightening effect. It is not bad and it is not good either, should i be happy?? Hehe..

Does it long lasting? Emm, it stays for approximately 6-7 hours before the wax started to clump and the frontbside of the eyebrow faded.. But most of pencil type eyebrow is just like that, and this countouring multi pencil last longer than that.

One thing that it lack is the screw brush. Since the pencil is in wax type, you really really need screw brush to blend. They should somehow put the screwbrush as well since it is not practical to bring screw brush anywhere.

Overall, this product is great and the multi function really works. I don't need to bring browcara, pencil, and highlighter  separately any more.. Good job for etude house!

Few tricks and tips

Well after a while using korean products i learned some useful tips and tricks to enhance the formula or even save some money. These tips and tricks are based from my personal experience, not all tips and tricks are suitable for everyone so just learn and discover what suits you best.

Makeup tips and tricks
1. How to use compact powder
we usually use powder to set up the makeup and to prolong the freshness. I prefer compact powder than the loose one simply because it's compact and easy to bring along. One thing that i learn is to never use the sponge provided by the compact powder container, i always have an extra powder brush. Why? Because when i use the sponge, the applicator can't spread the powder well and cause some powder to clogs in pores which if being observe closely, it looks very bad. It also cause too mattyfing effect. When i use the applicator on dewy bb cream, it will just cancel the dewy effect. My face will look very flat without any shine. While if i use the powder brush as the applicator, the finish will be slightly matte but still has the dewy shine.

2. Use eyeshadow for brow instead brow pencil
I'm not a fan of the too bold and dark eyebrow. I notice there are limited options of eyebrow pencil color. Most are too dark or too light for me. Rather than buying eyebrow powder kit, i found out eyeshadow can be useful too. Just find the brown eyeshadow that match your hair color. When my hair was black, i used dark grey one (do not use black eyeshadow since it is too bold and looks unnatural), but now my hair is in brown reddish shade so pick brownish red color. Just explore your eyeshadow collection and don't be afraid to make mistake. I use the brown shade in cherry truffle etude house chocolate collection or sometimes the pony memebox glam choco shade. I already tried this method to some people and they are all said it is a huge different thing than force to fit in the limited shade of eyebrow pencil. And one thing, for the applicator, you can just use your eyeliner brush for precise shape or just stroke the color using sponge eyeshadow tool for daily look.

3. How to save crack powder makeup
Well, this is a very sad thing to deal about. Usually when our eyeshadow or blush on fall down it will be broken and crack. Well, i personally ever deal with it when my etude house face corset broken into pieces. I feel very sad and i wanted to throw it away since the mess powder keep making my cosmetic case dirty. Then i found a way! Just simply add few drops of alchohol into the powder and mix it till you got the mixture, after that
just let it dry under the sun or i prefer to put it under the aircon for few hours and you'll get your little baby back in the business

4. Use lipstick instead of cream blusher
Well, this trick can save lots of money (eventhough i still purchase cream blusher mainly because i'm a hoarder haha). To match your lipstick color and your cheek color, simply put on few dots of your favourite lip stick, lip tints or whatever you want to call it on to your cheek and spread it well. After that just simply dab some foundation or bb cream to create deep blushing cheek.

5. Save the drying and clumping mascara
Face it, the experts say that we need to dump our mascara 6 months after opening it but who cares what the experts are saying ( mascara is quite pricey so i'm sorry i won't throw it away after 6 months!) but sometimes after some good times having friend with my mascara, it will be dry and has some clumps so rather than buying the new one, you can try this trick! Just add 3 drops of saline water (eye drops) into the tube and.. DON'T PUMP IT! You may not pump your mascara since it can clump very easily. Just stir it slowly and you'll notice your mascara will be runnier and as good as new again.

6. How to use lip tint in the correct way
Well, i love lip tints. And people have been saying lip tint has a very good staining power and bla bla bla. I own a Peripera water tint and eventhough i love the color, it will be gone in 1-2 hours after application and leaves no trace. So where is the staining power? I found this trick a couple weeks ago. The fault is not in the lip tint formula but rather on the application. The best way to apply lip tints are gentle spread it with the applicator all over the lips and.. WAIT patiently! Do not close your lips together and rub it with your both lips since it will smear. After it has dried just tap the remaining color with tissue and you'll get your stained lips. I ever tried this at night and on the morning, the tint was still there, go on! try it! You'll see the difference.
