My Review: PAC Glossy Lipstick Sea Coral

Hi Ladies, It's been a while since the last time I updated my blog. So this time I want to review my PAC Glossy Lipstick Sea Coral. It's a nice natural rossy color. You can use it at day or night. Just add some lip gloss if you want to make it more glossy (but not necessary for me). Here is the pic:

Here's the swatch

with flash... Sorry my face looks so oily >.<

What I like from this lipstick:
- Doesn't dry my lips (that's important, right?)
- Has a natural colour
- Doesn't smell
- Not sticky

Price: About Rp 90,000, - (around $9)

I don't have any complain with this lipstick, but maybe PAC should have more natural color (since this is the only color that I found natural)

My Review: Etude Lipstick OR204

Hello Ladies! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This is my last review for year 2012. And this Etude lipstick no OR204 is my newest make up collection... Here is the swatch..

With Flash

This lipstick has a nice orange color. Even I think its quite too orange for me (since I always have natural lipstick color) but it still nice. For reducing the "orange" and make it more natural, I always mix it with Oriflame lipstick "Baby Beige" (This baby beige lipstick always help!)
The most important is, this lipstick doesn't dry my lips though it's a matte lipstick and can be used for daily with natural make up. Just use it a little bit and you'll get a nice orange lips.. :)

My Review: Erhalogy Eternal Lips

Ladies, some of you must know Erhalogy.. This is a skin care product that is quite famous in Indonesia. These products are created by dermatologist (CMIIW). I never used any cream from this brand (though their packaging and store are soooo interesting)..

Once I accompanied my friend to Erhalogy store. I was looking through all their products. As I see, they have a lot of skin care products (a little bit pricey I guess, but many of my friends said that their products are great) and finally fall in love with this little interesting lip product. It is Erhalogy Eternal Lips. The SA told me that if you use this balm regularly, it will help you to get a brighter lips (I have a quite dark lips because using lots of lipstick) and it really helps you to moisture your lips. Make it soft and kissable :D : D :D

Yeay.. I almost done with this one :)

My review for this product: It really moisture your lips. I have been using it for one year, if you use it regularly, it can help you to make your lips looks brighter (though the result might not be instant). If you put this balm on you cracked lips, within 15 minutes you will feel that your lips are moisten and softer (the crack will be gone slowly but sure). It's a great product for your lips. And one more, the product does not smell at all.. So I guess this is recommended for all the ladies out there.

The price: Rp 90,000 (around $9)

My review: Evian Facial Spray

Helo Ladies, do you like to use facial spray? This one is actually the first facial spray I have ever bought. Actually, I bought this because there was special price at Guardian Rp 70,000 for 2 YEAY!!! (about $ 7,5 for 2) and also because one of my friend recommend it to me.

Evian Facial Spray

It is made from natural mineral water and this can help you to moisturize the outer layers of your skin, refreshes and tones.

My review for this product: It is really refresh and moisturize my skin. I feel so fresh and there was like a softer feeling when I touch my skin after using this product. Sometimes I use it after I finish with my make up and it does not faded the make up at all. This product also good to make your skin look fresher because it also helps you to reduce the oily looks. Good one if you need  a fast way look fresh before meeting the clients (better if you use face paper first).

Thought I like this product, but I don't think that I would buy another one (or maybe I will when there were discount or special price :p) Why? This product is quite pricey. For 50ml, you will not be able to use it for longer time, means that they put so little water in it :) But if you want to try the facial spray, I still can recommend you to try this product to freshen your skin. Please note that this product is not a treatment for your skin. So you still need moisturizer or any other cream that you usually use.

Any of you ever tried another facial spray? Please do share :)

My Review: The Body Shop Wild Rose Hand Cream

Hello Ladies, How are you? Hope everything is well with you. I don't know aout you, but I always fell happy in December. Christmas is coming!!! Yeaayyy.. For all of you that is looking for hand cream (When christmas come you must do shake hand with your family right?) this review might help you to get a soft and moisturized hand :)

Wild Rose hand Cream from The Body Shop

The texture is fine. Not too thick but also not too light.

I bought this couple months ago. There are two type of fragrance, one is wild rose, another one is almond. I prefer this one because the smell is really soft, flowery and girlie.. Smells like rose fragrance in general but nice. When I buy this, there were hand cream and hand butter.. Hand cream contains SPF 15 to protect you from sunlight where the hand butter doesn't have it. I thought that I need SPF so I choose the hand cream instead of hand butter.
FYI, I hand rough hands, so it is actually disturb me a lot. Using this cream regularly once a day helps my hand become smoother. So, I recommend this product to all the ladies out there.

My review for this product: Nice, smells good, moisture my hand (I have a very dry hand and this cream save me anytime I meet clients, family, friends and my boyfriend *yes*). The price is still worth it, Rp 119,000 (maybe around $11-12) for 100ml and it lasts for months. One more, you can put it in your bag and bring it anywhere you go :)

My Review: Elicina Snail Cream

Hi Ladies, have you ever heard about Elicina Snail Cream? Snail is famous with its benefits for your skin's health. This product said that it contains natural ingredient, organic and hypoallergenic. You can use it for your body or your face. I decided to give this product a try.

First, you have to know that I have a really bad stretch mark problem all over my body (it's red by the way) and desperately wants to get rid of it. Based on a good reviews on the internet, I bought this and try this cream for about 3 weeks. It is said that it could help you to eliminates or reducing the appearance of your stretch mark and scar.

After using this product for 3 weeks, I feel that this cream does not really helps you reducing the stretch mark appearance on your body (maybe it can help you if you use it for a longer time, remember I only use it for 3 weeks). But this cream really moisturize and makes your skin feel smoother (I feel like touching a baby's skin after using this product LOL). The fragrance is soft and really nice so it won't make you think that this is made from snail :)

I have to tell you that the affect might be different to other people. Many reviews said that this cream is recommended for reducing the appearance of scar and stretch mark.  I guess it's because every person's skin is different. What about you Ladies? Will you give this product a try?

Repurchase: Maybe yes, Maybe no. Still want to try another stretch mark cream

Review: L'Oreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Smoother

Hello Ladies, is there any of you that is having difficult time with pores and blackheads? I do.. At that time, I was looking for the product information that would help me to minimize the pores. And when I was looking for the product in beauty forum, I found many people said that L'Oreal Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Smoother will help you to minimize the pores.

Based on the good reviews, I decided to buy it and try. I use it after i wash my face and before moisturizer.. It freshen your skin but after a while, i didn't see any changes on my pores or my blackheads. It's still the same and i found out that small pimples appears in my cheek ( I don't know if it's because of the toner or L'Oreal Moisturizer that i use at that time). So I will not recommend it to people who wants to reducing their pores. But if you have an oily face, give this product a try.. You may find that it helps you to reduce the oily looks.

Pentingnya Perawatan Kulit Tubuh pada Malam Hari

Ladies, ada ngga diantara kalian yang suka banget pakai body lotion? Aku salah satu orang yang suka pakai body lotion waktu pagi dan malam hari sebelum tidur. Menurut aku, body lotion merupakan salah satu perawatan kulit tubuh malam hari dan siang hari yang cukup penting. Menggunakan body lotion waktu siang hari membantu aku untuk melindungi kulitku dari efek buruk sinar matahari seperti berubahnya warna kulit menjadi lebih gelap terus lama-kelamaan jadi ada bintik-bintik alias flek ditangan. Sedangkan kalau aku pakai body lotion waktu malam hari, paginya kulit aku bisa terasa lebih lembut dan lembap. Bahkan dalam jangka panjang bisa buat kulit kita terlihat lebih cerah loh ladies. Soalnya kan selama waktu kita tidur body lotion tersebut bisa betul-betul terserap dalam kulit kita dan bekerja maksimal.

Tau ngga ladies, selama kita beraktivitas dari bangun pagi sampai kita kembali tidur, kulit kita perlahan-lahan hilang kelembapannya, apalagi kalau kita sering terpapar AC di dalam ruangan. Belum lagi kalau waktu siang kulit kita kena matahari yang panas dan asap rokok terus kurang minum air putih. Kebayang ga sih betapa menderitanya kulit kamu kalau sampe ga dirawat dengan pelembap. Ngga asik juga kan kalau kulit kita kusam plus kering? Kan malu udah cantik tapi kulitnya kusam *kedip-kedip bulu mata* :D

Menurut aku, ini adalah daftar penyebab hilangnya kelembaban kulit:

1. Air Conditioner
2. Sinar UV dari matahari
3. Rokok
4. Alcohol
5. Mandi menggunakan air panas
6. Kurang minum air putih
7. Tidak menggunakan tabir surya pada malam hari dan body lotion pada malam hari
8. Menggunakan sabun anti bakteri secara terus-menerus
9. Terlalu banyak melakukan scrubbing pada kulit lebih dari 3 kali selama satu minggu

Ternyata list-nya ga terlalu banyak ya ladies, tapi beberapa list diatas adalah hal-hal yang sering kita temui di kegiatan kita sehari-hari. Itu berarti... Kulit kamu perlu perawatan ekstra, ngga hanya siang hari, tapi juga membutuhkan perawatan kulit tubuh malam hari.

Untuk siang hari, pastikan kamu memakai body lotion yang mengandung UV protection yah. Fungsinya UV protection ini adalah melindungi efek buruk dari sinar matahari seperti: penuaan dini, flek bahkan mutasi DNA yang berujung pada kanker kulit. Hiiiyy... Serem juga yah ternyata. Karena itulah, banyak para ahli yang menyarankan agar menggunakan tabir surya pada waktu siang hari.

Nah, salah satu produk dari Citra yang dapat melindungi kita dari efek buruk sinar UV adalah  Citra Lasting White UV yang mengandung bengkoang dan susu. Ladies pasti pernah denger donk kalau bengkoang dan susu udah dipercaya sejak lama dapat membantu mencerahkan warna kulit kita. Nah, Citra Lasting White ini bisa dipakai untuk siang harinya. Udah dapet perlindungan dari UV, terus bisa mencerahkan kulit lagi. 2 in 1 banget ya ladies! :)

Nah, kalau siang hari udah dirawat dengan body lotion yang mengandung bengkoang dan susu, boleh deh kita pakai body scrub pada sore harinya untuk membuang sel-sel kulit mati. Kalau aku sih suka banget sama wanginya Citra Fresh Radiance. Wangi teh nya enak banget, aku suka, bikin relax badan aku setelah melakukan aktivitas seharian. Butiran scrubnya juga ga kasar alias halus jadi ngga bakalan bikin kulit aku jadi kering. Scrub ini boleh digunakan 2-3 kali seminggu. Pemakaian scrub yang teratur bisa memudarkan noda-noda dikulit dan mengembalikan warna kulit yang belang loh..

Suka banget sama wangi teh hijau-nya

Nah, satu hal lagi yang penting nih ladies, setelah pakai scrub, kulit harus pakai body lotion lagi. Karena pakai scrubnya pas mandi sore, ga mungkin donk kita pakai body lotion yang ada SUV untuk siang hari. Karena itu, aku bisa lengkapin perawatan kulitku dengan Citra Night Whitening. Untuk perawatan kulit malam hari juga ngga boleh sembarang loh ladies, harus menggunakan body lotion yang memang khusus untuk perawatan kulit tubuh malam hari. Salah satunya adalah Citra Night Whitening ini:

Citra Night Whitening adalah body lotion yang menggunakan bahan alami seperti mulberry dan minyak biji anggur. Mulberry sendiri punya beberapa manfaat seperti: kaya akan vitamin C dan memiliki resveratrol yang tinggi (sebuah antioksidan yang juga ditemukan pada anggur merah yang dapat membersihkan polutan dalam tubuh). Bahkan sebuah penelitian menemukan bahwa resveratol sangat efektif melawan tumor pada kulit. Sedangkan minyak biji anggur mempunyai beberapa manfaat seperti: kaya akan antioksidan, solusi alami antikanker, terutama meredam kelainan sel kulit akibat terpapar sinar matahari.

Nah, inilah beberapa keuntungan kalau kita mengoleskan body lotion pada waktu malam hari yang diambil dari Kompas.com : 

1. Regenerasi kulit

Agar kulit terlihat lebih bersinar maka kulit juga membutuhkan proses regenerasi. Proses regenerasi atau pembaharuan sel ini terjadi pada malam hari ketika kita tidur. Regenerasi sel kulit ini sebenarnya berlangsung setiap waktu, namun pada malam hari kulit beregenerasi dua kali lebih banyak. 

2. Menjaga kelembaban
Penggunaan body lotion di malam hari akan membantu mengurangi kehilangan uap air yang terlalu banyak. Di malam hari proses trans epidermal water loss (penguapan) air dari kulit akan meningkat 25 persen dibandingkan pagi atau sore. Kehilangan uap air di kulit ini akan semakin tinggi terutama di bagian yang terbuka (tak tertutup baju) seperti kaki, tangan, dan wajah. Aplikasi body lotion  ini akan membantu mengurangi kadar penguapan air dari kulit saat kita tidur. Kehilangan uap air yang terlalu banyak akan membuat kulit jadi sensitif dan kering.

3. Mudah menyerap bahan aktif
Malam hari merupakan saat paling efektif untuk mengaplikasikan berbagai produk kecantikan. Karena saat malam, kulit akan lebih mudah menyerap bahan aktif

Nah gimana ladies, masih mau cuek dengan perawatan kulit kamu? Sayang banget loh kalau kulit kamu sampai kusam ngga terawat, karena kulit yang indah bakalan buat kita tambah cantik..
