An Apologize

Life has been turn upside down this passed years.. I got birth sooner than the due date, makes me unable to post any baby haul post that I've already promising.. I don't even had a chance to bought diapers, breast pump and so many other stuffs.. I walked down to the hospital with just bringing my self in a pajama.. I even forgot bringing my wallet, because we were shocked that it happens very soon..

When we got back home from the hospital, it became more difficult.. My husband had to work out of town so basically there will be only three of us at home, me, my first daughter and the baby.. I felt very exhausted every day and writing a blog is not something that I want to do..

Now my little baby is 17 months old, she already be a beautiful independent toddler.. I can write a blog now since she's not so depending with me anymore.. I already start blogging at the end of last year but in my other blog.. The blog is all about food, and mothers activity, not about make up at all.. If you like you can check it out..

I will try to blog about make up again because I miss wearing make up, get dressed and just go out somewhere.. I'm apologize to you for absence for such a long time, may you have lots of joy in your life.. Kiss and hug from my angel

My New Love.. Bourjois Sweet Kiss Natural

Honestly, I've never try this brand before.. However the packaging is very eye catching for me every time I passed by the counter.. So one day I decided to try their lipstick for the first time..

I was interested to try their Sweet Kiss Lipstick line but they don't have the color that I wanted to buy in the counter.. Then they offered me the Sweet Kiss Natural Lipstick that has almost the same packaging.. 

For me this lipstick look alike Dior Lipstick in terms of the packaging.. Well not to much. *_*

It so cute. Baby pink transparent color so sleek.. Really impressed with the packaging.. For only Rp 145.000,- (around $ 14.50) the packaging that you get is far from "cheap"..

From the website they said that it's 100% natural formula, enriched with magnolia oil and shea butter.. intensely nourish lips leaving them supple and moisture for 8 hours.. All good stuffs that a girl couldn't resist..

This line has 8 shades, but in the counter they only got 2 shades.. What a heart breaking *_*

One is a rosy pink color (Rose tendre 06) and one is a coral color (Peche voluptueuse 02), the one that I got is number 02 because I have to much rosy pink color in my collection, although I might come back and purchase the other color.. Since I like it so much 

Here is the color swatch..

It's not the typical lipstick that glides on smoothly in your lips.. It's a bit hard to apply, but surprisingly It's not drying at all after you put on.. It last quite a long time too.. 

So far this lipstick is recommended.. This in my new love.. 

I will definitely trying other products from Bourjois Cosmetic especially their mascara and their foundation that has been raved by a lot of people..  

Review : Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Hi guys... Finally writing blog again.. ^^ ooh.. and happy fasting to all of you moslem reader out there..

All right.. Lets go on to the point.. 5 months ago I ordered this powder online and finally it's arrived about 3 months ago.. I'm so happy but.. the seller send me message that they got me the wrong shade and offered me to refund my money if it didn't match my skin.. Amazingly even its 2 shades lighter than my actual shade, it match my skin pretty well..

The packaging is so unique.. 

You have to swirl the packaging to get the puff and a mirror.. so cute ^^

But I hate the packaging color.. It looks tacky..

In the package, they claimed to be air soft matte perfection, oil free, won't clog pores, and dermatologist tested.. Which is sound so tempting isn't it..

I used this as a powder foundation in the morning when I'm in a hurry.. So far this powder does make my skin matte (I have combination normal to oily skin) and it doesn't break me out (just occasionally break out due to my time of the month)..

I really like this powder.. for only Rp 100.000,- ($ 10) I really recommend this product.. and I will definitely repurchase it again..

It's a short post.. I'm trully apologize but I'm really tired..

Since I miss blogging so much, short post definitely better than no post.. isn't it.. ^^

Bye guys xoxo

My ELF Essential eye brushes

These brushes is the first eye brushes that I bought when I started wearing make up.. I only bought 3 eye brushes from their collection.. I bought the Eye Shadow Brush, Blending Eye Brush and the Smudge Eye Sponge..

Of all the three brushes, only the smudge eye sponge that I dislike.. 

I bought from an Indonesian online shop with a price around Rp 35.000,- ( $ 3.50 ) due to shipping and taxes.. But It's actually worth $ 1 in the website www.eyeslipsface.com or $ 1.25 in www.nonpareilboutique.com 

It's super affordable brushes especially for those of you who just starting experimenting with make up.. The handle looks and feels cheap, not as sturdy as Ecotools brushes or Essence of Beauty Brushes but they haven't falling apart yet.. The hair bristles are a little bit stiff but not scratchy at all..

Eye Shadow Brush

This brush is soft and packs on color really nicely.. This is my favorite brush among those three.. 

It can be use to pack on color on your lid and your brow bone too.. But I like it for my brow bone since this brush is too big for my lid (I have a small eye lid.. )

I would definitely repurchase again this brush for a back up..

Blending Eye Brush

This brush is stiffer.. That's why it's packs on color really well in the crease.. 

It doesn't blend eye shadow as good as I want it to be so I don't use it as a blending brush.. I use it to put medium tone brown or other medium tone color on my crease.. Works pretty nicely..

Smudge Eye Sponge

This one is a failure.. at least for me.. I didn't read the name carefully, I thought it was a brush instead of a sponge.. My mistake guys.. *_*

The sponge doesn't do the job at all.. It's kind a hard to smudge your eye shadow or your eye liner with this sponge.. But I hate wasting my stuff.. So I try to figure out other usefulness for this brush.. Finally I find a way to make it work.. I use it as an inner corner highlight brush.. yippiee.. ^^

So.. Overall.. The only thing that I suggest to all of you to get is the Eye Shadow Brush and the Blending Brush..

I do have another ELF Essential eye brushes that still on my wishlist items like the brow wand and the eye crease brush.. Other than that not really stood out to me.. 

Let me know if you have them.. and what you think about them..

All right guys..hope you like my review ^^.. Have a nice weekend 

Nail of the Day : Tropical Temptation

I like pink peachy color this month.. This kind of color is so fresh and bright.. Loooove it.. ^^

I love Revlon Nail Polishes.. Revlon makes good quality nail polishes and very affordable for only Rp 33.000,- (around $ 3.30).. The consistency is pretty opaque too..  

The one that I'm wearing is no 914 Tropical Temptation..

Essence of Beauty Deluxe Duo Set Face Brushes (My go to travel face brushes)

Finally I have some spare time to write a post again ^^..  This month has been a super duper hectic month so I am truly apologize for my absence.. Okay on to the topic guys..

Since I'll be going on a vacation next week, I'll be reviewing one of my favorite travel make up brushes that I like to bring with..
It's the Essence of Beauty Deluxe Duo Set Face Brushes..

I bought this set online probably a year ago for about Rp 210.000,- (around $21).. You also can find this brushes on CVS for around $14.99 but we don't have CVS here in Indonesia (aaarghh... >.<)..
When I first got it, the brushes smelled weird.. They smelled like a goat especially the white angle blush brush side.. I had to washed it 3 times until I able to used it on my face.. I wonder does this thing ever happen to you guys?? or did I have the failure one..

But in terms of the quality this brushes are made of high quality hairs, it's even comparable with high end brushes.. I have this brushes for a year and it still like brand new one..
With this set you will get 3 duo sided brushes and 6 uses of them.. (it will safe space in your make up bag)

Here they are..

• Foundation & Concealer duo sided brush (Flat foundation type of brush like MAC 109.. I like the concealer brush because it has pointed tip really great for those hard-to-reach corners)

• Blush & Powder duo sided brush (The angle blush brush is doing a good job for applying blush.. On the other hand the powder brush is to small for setting my powder so what I like to do is using it as a highlighting brush.. Works pretty well since it has a tapered shape)

• Blending & Eye Shadow duo sided brush (The blending brush I like to use it to set my under eye concealer with a powder.. While the eye shadow brush well I don't use it for that purpose.. I use it for contour my nose since it has angle shape and fit my nose perfectly)

I like those brushes, but the down side is I still have to bring my other face brushes like a powder brush (since I don't like the powder brush from the set) and a brush for my bronzer.. But still it does safe some spaces in your make up bag since it has two sided.. and I love the quality of them..

Here's my review  :

PRO  :

• You get 6 uses of brushes with affordable price..
• The brushes is soft and made of high quality hairs and materials.. I use it almost a year and it still like brand new one
• It comes with a zip lock plastic case which I like to use since I cannot put my duo sided brushes in a regular brush case..

CON  :

• The brushes smell weird *_* (at least the one that I bought)

Overall I will recommend this brush set.. Nice and affordable.. ^^

Do you have one guys ?? Let me know what you think about them..
