Review: Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick (Centrifuchsia)

I have been a fan of Lime Crime lip products because of the packaging and their crazy range of colors. It took me a long time to finally decide purchasing this since the price wasn't something you would spend for some random stuff out of curiousity. But... have you ever want something so bad you don't care about the price, whether you need it or not? No? Well, lucky you, because that's what I felt towards this lovely purple bitch. So, to hell with budget.

 

 

 

Just look at the packaging design, doesn't it remind you of some toy lipsticks you had when you were a little gurl? Lilac color with a holographic Unicorn silhouette, same goes with the box design. Although it looks cute, but isn't it a little cheap looking?

 

 

There are 19 shades of Opaque Lipstick. My shade is Centrifuchsia. Why this? Because--despite the fact it is one of a few wearable shades--some reviews I read and watched told me this has the best texture. I actually aimed for Airborne Unicorn, because I love the name. LOLs. But it wasn't available at the time.

The bullet design is classic pointy one. There's a strong vanilla scent on it.

 

 

The color is what I describe as medium dark pink, or fuchsia, like the name itself.

 

My pale bare lips.

 

The picture above is when swatched to my lips. Somehow my camera kinda toned down the color a little bit because in reality it looked so much darker. I actually took some pictures of my lips under natural lighting but I don't think I will show you those since the result doesn't resemble the real color at all.

 

 

I played with my photo editor, change the saturation and all that, and finally came up with that picture above. Although it was obviously edited, but it's the closest one to reality.

 

***

 

This lipstick applied to my lips decently, very pigmented, and went opaque without so much trouble. I just need to apply one layer and the color stands out already. The texture is smooth, doesn't clump, nor dry my lips although I wear no lip balm in advance. And just like many opaque bold lipsticks, this one will leave stain. A pink stain.

 

 Talking about they staying power, oh yeah, it stayed in place obediently, like a puppy. Even after I took a meal, the color only slightly faded. But too bad that the color easily transfers to whatever it touches.

 

I don't feel sorry at all spending about IDR 245K (for this because the quality really paid off. It felt lightweight on my lips, not too thick, with a pretty creamy finishing. However, I don't know the result for other colors from this line, as from reading some reviews, not every color give a good result, considering the price is almost the same as many high-end lipstick brands.

 

Verdicts:

• Opaque color
• Medium dark pink tone
• The color transfers easily
• Long lasting
• Not drying my lips
• Very pigmented
• Creamy finishing
• Smooth textured and doesn't clump
• How much: USD 18. I bought this for IDR 245K, available in many local online stores, but price may vary.

 

Review: Maybelline Eyestudio Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner (Black)

Eyeliners are one of my must-wear makeup item to define my small slanted eyes. I usually avoid using liquid liners since I got shaky hands, so I often end up with pencil, or pen, or gel liner. But, I got jealous of those Youtubers or even my fellow beauty bloggers who could easily draw flawless lines using liquid liners. So I think, I have to, have to, have to nail it as well!

 

Menurut gue, kalo hobi dandan, rasanya belom afdol kalo belom jago make eyeliner cair. Tapi itu menurut gue loh ya. Hehehe...

 

And I chose this, from conversations with some fellow bloggers, as one of the friendliest liquid liners, both in applicator, lasting power, and price. So, here is what I have to say.

 

 

 

The packaging is a bit tiny. Nothing fancy about the bottle. It was all black plastic with a glossy letters on it. When I first bought this, it was sealed with a clear plastic. But, in some countries, they are sold in a carton seal.

 

 

 

The shade is black, and it ONLY HAVE ONE SHADE, which is BLACK.

 

Please don't mistake this liner with Maybelline Hyper Glossy Runway Pop Color Liner, which has 5 different shades. Well, the formula may be the same, but there's a slight difference on the bottle design. This one is more simple. Please remember that BLACK is the one with PINK LETTERS on it. Don't be mistaken. (I didn't wear glasses when I purchased this, so of course it was damn hard!).

 

 Btw, I used to review this colorful liner in orange shade, check it out here.

 

The ingredients were listed in the plastic seal I already tore. But this is what I found from the internet:

 

G850605 INGREDIENTS: AQUA / WATER, ACRYLATES/ETHYLHEXYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, ALCOHOL DENAT., STEARETH-20, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, PHENOXYETHANOL, LAURETH-21, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, XANTHAN GUM, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, p-ANISIC ACID, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE POWDER, MALTODEXTRIN, TOCOPHEROL, [+/- MAY CONTAIN: CI 77266 / BLACK 2] F.I.L. B52117/1.

This applicator is actually pretty short which is an advantage for me. Imagine that awkward moment when you literally have to stick your cheeks to the mirror because your eyes hardly can see anything. So, a short applicator is truly a bless for me.

 

 

The tip of the brush is pointy, really helpfull to draw a thin line. However when I pushed the brush a little bit further, it also helped me to draw a thicker line. Great for drawing a cat-wink edge. This brush also pretty hard. It's not too soft which I like the most since I'm a beginner on this. Totally an applicator for rookies.

 

 

The black is pretty intense. A true jet black with glossy finishing. How long it dries depends on how thick you draw the line. But on me, it only need about five seconds to dry. So I don't really have problems with smudging lines due to you accidently blink your eyes when your liners still wet.

 

***

 

An example on one of my EOTDs.

 

 

***

 

This is one of the rare products that fulfill its promise to be smudgeproof yet waterproof. I wore this from 9 am to 5 pm, it didn't move at all until the time I wipe it with makeup remover. It also didn't hard to be removed, once it's done, it'll turn to small flakes. Typical waterproof eyeliners.

 

The result on my eyes are glossy so this might not look pretty nice for photo session. I also don't find any sting when on every application. Usually my eyes are pretty sensitive to liquid liners, but not to this, so I think this one is pretty friendly for sensitive eyes.

 

However this might not feel comfortable once it dries since it'll leave that annoying feeling on your eyes, like you wear an eyelid scotch tape. This usually happen if I draw a thick line like on the picture above. But if I just apply a thin one, it feels comfortable enough.

 

 

This photo was taken after 10 hours of usage. No edit alert! Well, you may find my eyebrows and foundation were pretty ruined, but the liner didn't move AT ALL. I wore this liner that day on a pretty tiring humid outdoor activity, and I also splashed my face with Wudhu water, twice. My oily eyelids and teary eyes doesn't seem to have any effect on this liner

Overall, although I still need to learn to apply liquid liner, but I think I found my holy grail eyeliner already. Finally.

 

***

 

Verdicts:

• Waterproof
• Smudgeproof
• Intense black shade
• User friendly applicator
• Doesn't sting my eyes
• Glossy finish
• May felt uncomfortable if you apply a thick line
• How much: around IDR 30K to 40K. Price may vary on each country.

 

Review: Inez Color Contour Plus Concealing Stick (Light/01)

Kayaknya udah 100 tahun lebih aku ga review produk Inez. Akibat bombardir produk dari merk lokal lain, si Inez ini seperti terlupakan olehku begitu saja, padahal kemaren-kemaren demen banget deh ama dia.Terus kemaren pas lagi bongkar laci, nemulah si concealer ini, yang (kayaknya) aku pernah beli beberapa bulan lalu, tapi lupa. Seneng deh, rasanya kayak nemu duit cepek ceng di kantong celana yang udah dicuci. Hihihi....

 

 

 

Penampakan concealer ini mirip banget kayak lipstik, ukurannya, sampe kotaknya pun juga. Warnanya khas Inez banget, biru dongker, dengan aksen warna gold. Kayaknya kalo soal kemasan, kurang menarik ya. Warna biru dongkernya itu bikin dia keliatan 'murah' gitu.

 

 

Shade-nya ada dua jenis, yang Light (01) dan Medium (02) Aku punya yang Light (01).

 

 

Di atas adalah foto cara pemakaian dan komposisi bahannya. Sayangnya aku lupa foto logo Halal dari MUI-nya.

 

Stik-nya itu bener-bener kayak lipstik. Dan gak ada bau-bau aneh yang bakal tercium kok, ada wangi samar sih, tapi menurutku nggak mengganggu.

 

 

Warnanya itu walaupun Light tapi buatku nggak keputihan, ngeblend banget sama warna asli kulit wajahku. Menurut penglihatanku sih, ada sedikit rona pink-nya. Which is oke banget kalo buat menutupi mata panda.

 

***

 

Aku pake concealer stick ini di bawah mata, kelopak mata, area sekitar hidung, dan beberapa spot hitam bekas jerawat, setelah menggunakan foundation/BB Cream. Baru abis itu ditimpa lagi pake bedak. Tapi cara seperti ini aku pake dulu banget waktu mata pandaku masih parah, karena sekarang-sekarang ini dengan menggunakan foundie atau BB Cream pun, udah lumayan ketutup. Rada hepi sih karena usahaku ngobatin mata panda berbuah hasil hehehe.

 

Sayangnya untuk area hidungku yang rada berminyak, concealer stick ini beroksidasi setelah beberapa jam pemakaian. Dan berakhir dengan hasil yang sedikit menggumpal. Well, itu untuk area hidung ya, tapi untuk di kantung mata yang nggak terlalu berminyak, dia oke-oke aja tuh.

 

Sedikit saran ya, teksturnya agak padat, lebih padat dari beberap concealing stick yang pernah aku coba, jadi ngeblend-nya harus pinter dan sabar, kalo nggak bakal keliatan cakey. Kalo aku lebih gampang ngeblend-nya pake tangan ketimbang kuas atau spons.

 

Biasanya aku pake ini untuk makeup sehari-hari. Cukup poles di area kantung mata dan hidung, tebalkan alis, pake lip balm, udah deh. Minimalis banget. Jadi sisa area wajah yang nggak ketutup concealer bisa bebas bernapas. Itu contoh alternatif aja buat kamu yang males bedakan tapi gak mau keliatan The Kill and The Kumel banget.

 

Tapi kalo untuk pergi ke acara yang agak resmi dikit, concealer stick ini akan berubah fungsi jadi highlight wajah. Karena ya seperti yang aku bilang, ditutup foundie aja kantong mataku udah ketutup. Kalo dikasih concealer lagi, bisa-bisa kayak panda pake kacamata putih deh.

 

***

 

Berikut contoh teknik highlight wajah menggunakan produk ini. Entah kenapa di foto ini warnanya jadi keliatan putih banget. Mungkin karena efek cahaya lampu yang strong banget ya. Btw, ini highlight versi muka eke yang rada panjang ya. Beda bentuk muka, beda lagi caranya. Jadi kalo yang ngerasa bentuk mukanya kayak eke, monggo diikutin.

The magic of makeup itu bisa bikin orang belom mandi, jadi keliatan kayak udah mandi hahaha. Oops, sori, cuma kiasan aja loh ya. Soalnya pas sesi foto di atas, aku udah mandi kok.

 

***

 

Oke, ini kesimpulannya ya:

• Warnanya menyatu dengan warna kulit.
• Biarpun Light, tapi gak terlalu putih.
• Oksidasi di hidungku yang oily.
• Ada resiko cakey karena teksturnya padat dan susah di blend.
• Long lasting
• Halal labeled
• Berapa: sekitar IDR 30-40K, lupa tepatnya.
• Di mana beli: biasanya di toko kosmetik, karena aku belom pernah liat ada konter Inez. Tapi aku beli ini di website resminya.

Review: Loreal Paris White Perfect "Micro Vibration 3 in 1 EyeBrightener"

I have very dark circles under my eyes. I don't know why but this happened when I started college at the age of 18 or 19. I don't know why, well, I mean there are lots of reason, though. I stayed late quite often, and I have anemia, and I wear super thick glasses because my myopia is very high, and... What else could it be?

Oh well, whatever. So, ever since I had enough money to buy things other than my lunch and Sailormoon collectible cards (LOL), that's when I received my first paycheck, I started buying eye creams. (Yes! Eye creams, not ice creams!). I tried some brands like Oriflame, Clinique, Ovale, Garnier, The Body Shop, even the super expensive (according to me) Artistry. Result? Nah... Even just a slight progress? Nah...

Then I was desperate and stopped buying eye creams, and just covered them with bright eye concealer that sometimes make me look like a white-eyed raccoon, but then again, I thought, I'm getting older. I don't wanna look old! So, out of desperation, I found this in Carrefour while doing my grocery shopping. And, I bought this randomly, not because I had some good reviews before. (baca: nekat saking putus asa).

I was kinda attracted to the word Micro-Vibration. So I thought, it has a massager inside it. Quite interesting. By the way, parabens in the ingredients?

 

The product packed in a smooth denim blue plastic. It actually has two parts: the eye creams itself, and the massager.

 

This tiny hole is where the creams comes out.

 

The massager with closer look. The tip is made of metal that felt cool when it touched your eye bags. It has a switch button to turn it on. This micro massager, I think, is better than a roll-on type since it kinda hurts my eyebags.

 

 

Maybe you'll question about the battery to operate the massager. Well, good news: the battery was included. Bad news: the battery was installed. Yes! Installed inside the cap and there's no opening to it. In other words, there's no way you can use this once the battery is run out, or the cream runs out, or whichever comes first. So you cannot cheat. Damn smart manufacturer. Damn you.

 

This is the directions of use and the precautions. This is extremely important to achieve the maximum result. I will strongly suggest you to read the instructions carefully before using this since there are some conditions which are very harmful if you use this in the wrong way.

 

By the way, just don't massage your upper eyelids, please. And, don't forget to clean the massager afterwrds. I just wipe it with wet tissue and dry it with dry tissue.

The cream is odorless and very light. I only need very small amount for the whole eye area. Don't squeeze too hard, will ya? I did that the first time and wasted a large amount of product :( By the way, the cream doesn't sting my eyes.

 

Does this cream works for me? Well, hell yeah! I haven't even finished one tube and the area under my eye appears lighter than usual. In most of the times, I don't even have to bother applying concealer stick anymore since one layer of pressed powder is enough (I don't use BB cream or foundation often). Of course, my raccoon eyes are not completely recovered, they just appear much more lighter. Only babies who don't have dark circles.

Too bad I didn't take photos for samples since I kinda belittled this affordable product at first. But don't worry, I asked my most honest reviewer of all times: my husband, he completely agreed. LOL. I apply this after dabbing my Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence before going to sleep every night. I have to tell you that I still stay late quite often and drank cups and cups of coffee. If only I kept my healthy balanced life, I'm pretty sure this product would have more amazing effect.

Verdicts:

• Light creamy texture
• Odorless
• Does not sting your eyes
• Nice packaging
• Micro massager is a good invention tool (better than roll-on massager since it kinda hurts)
• Battery is installed in the massager
• Really brighten up my eyes, at least for me
• Brightening effect may lessen if you don't use this regularly
• Reasonable price: around IDR 160K (USD 16)
• Where to get? Drugstores, supermarkets, or any official Loreal counters. (I found this in Carrefour)

Thank you for reading. Hope this is useful :) 

Until then!

 

 

 

Review: Evian Brumisateur Facial Spray

I've seen this product many times on drugstores and supermarkets, but I thought it was some edible product and wonder why such product comes in a spray can and expensive price. Stupid, huh? Until some friend told me how this worked on her as a setting spray as well as making her face look matte the whole day.

 

 

 

The spray comes in a handy white spray can with matte transparent pink cap. There are three sizes available: 50 ml, 150 ml, and 300 ml. Each size comes in slightly different can design. I purchased the smallest one for trial purpose.

What it claims:

 

Natural Hydration

The exquisitely fine mist produced by evian_® Brumisateur_® penetrates and rehydrates the upper layers of the skin. evian_® water has a unique mineral balance along with exceptional purity which suits all skin types, even the most sensitive. Leaves skin looking healthy and feeling refreshed. Dermatologically tested.

 

Beauty

A light misting sets and revives cosmetic colors throughout the day. This allows the skin to be re-hydrated several times without removing makeup. And this is why evian_® Facial Spray helps improve the performance of all color cosmetics. Many make-up professionals prefer evian_® Spray to dilute and blend make-up.

 

Baby

Perfect for gently cleansing baby’s sensitive skin (bottom, face and hands), with or without cotton pads. The leak-proof canister is suitable for the nursery or diaper bag! Babies love the fine cooling mist of hypoallergenic, pH neutral evian_® Facial Spray. Tested under pediatric control, and used in maternity hospitals.

Judging from the ingredients, it's just plain water.

 

How to use:

Just spray it, but for a reason I just don't push the spray to its maximum since there'll be too much product waste.

 

***

 

I simply love this. From curiousity to one of must have item in my drawer, even in my makeup bag. After washing my face I would spray a small amount onto the whole face (my face felt smooth and fresh instantly!), and wait until it completely dries, and began my skin care and makeup routine. And that small additional' routine helps my makeup stay in place and reduce the oily face appearance, even when I wear makeup products that tend to make your face more greasy. From what I read on the can, you are suggested spray, and wait for several minutes, and gently dab your face with tissue, which I prefer not to. Because I thought it'll be a waste of product, so I'll just wait patiently until it completely dries.

 

I also spray enough amount onto my foundation or kabuki/powder brush before blending the foundation or face powder and the result was better compared to when I use dry brushes.

 

From several reviews I read and watched, this also works as a setting spray. Just spray some amount after you put your whole makeup on. I did this a couple of times and the result was great, but please becareful because not all of makeup product can be treated this way. I once sprayed this after Maybelline Clear Smooth Cake Powder application and the result was amazing, but different thing happened to when I wore Viva Compact Powder since the product made my face powder clump on several places. Talk about looking ugly, duh? I don't know what specs can help you differentiate which product works well with this, and which doesn't, so I prefer not to spray this after makeup application.

 

***

 

Overall:

Great one for those who looks for a multi purpose product with reasonable price.

 

Price:

IDR 70K something. I forgot as usual. Or USD 7 on its official web. I bought this on Guardian drugstore.

 

Review: Viva Queen Moist Cream

Kenikmatan hidup itu adalah seswatuh yang bisa mengurangi masalah dalam hidup dan meringankan beban pikiran kita, wujudnya bisa dalam banyak hal. Tergantung kamu menyadarinya apa ngga. Bisa dari tukang sampah yang rajin dateng tiap hari sehingga halaman depan rumah bersih terus dan nggak dilalerin, atau mini market yang letaknya di sebelah rumah persis jadi kalo mau beli keperluan sehari-hari cukup meluncur keluar pake daster dan sendal jepit, atau biarpin makan porsi kuli tetep aja berat badan nggak naek-naek (yang ini bukan gue, jelas...). Banyak lah ya. Kalo satu kenikmatan yang musti aku syukurin adalah kulitku yang murahan. Maksudnya pake produk yang dijual murah* di warung cocok-cocok aja, gak gampang break out. Asal rutin dibersihin dan dirawat, dijamin 'aman'. Ibarat roti, ditaburin meses Ceres lokal rasanya tetep enak, gak perlu pake Nutella. Hahahah!

 

*murah: murah bukan berarti produk gajebo yang harganya selangit dengan kualitas murahan loh

 

Jadiii setelah pelembab Wardah-ku habis (review di sini), aku langsung seneng, berarti ada alesan belanja pelembab baru. Males lah beli Wardah lagi, bukannya karena nggak cocok, tapi pengen aja nyoba yang baru. Terus ceritanya waktu lagi ke pasar, aku nemu pelembabnya Viva ini. Rada jiper sih mau make, soalnya pas pake Milk Cleanser-nya aku suka berasa perih, walaupun gak jerawatan juga. Tapi yah, coba aja lah. Harga juga cuma 8000-an. Lupa tepatnya.

 

 

 

Kemasannya yang imut-imut jadi alasan kenapa aku mau beli ini. Gak banyak sih yang bisa dijelasin dari kemasannya, bentuknya jar warna putih patah, pake tutup puter. Udah. Isinya cuma 22 gram. Eh, aku bilangin ya, ada beberapa produk Viva yang kemasannya sama persis kayak gini, bedanya cuma di stiker depannya aja. Jadi jangan sampe ketuker ye.

 

 

Kalo dilihat dari deskripsinya, produk ini bisa dipake sebagai pelembab biasa, atau sebagai under makeup. Apaan ya under makeup itu? Mungkin seperti face primer kah? Well, anyway, aku sih gak pernah make ini buat macem-macem selaen pelembab.

 

 

Wujud krimnya itu krim yang padat tapi bertekstur lembut, kayak mentega. Kalo dibalik gak tumpah. Warnanya putih dan kalo dilihat dibawah sinar matahari agak terlihat mengkilat. Kenapa ya mengkilat? Kalo ngomongin soal baunya, ya gitu deh, tau sendiri Viva, kembang setaman mekar mewangi banget. Rada ganggu sebenernya, cuman cuek aja lah, toh baunya akan menghilang lama kelamaan. Oh ya, isi krimnya itu sebenernya penuh loh, yang aku foto ini udah aku towel beberapa kali :)

 

 

Krim model begini mengingatkan aku sama krimnya Hazeline Snow jaman dulu banget. Aku pake sedikit aja udah bisa cover seluruh muka, jadi biarpin dikit yaaaa produk ini a little goes a long the way lah. So isinya yang cuma 22 gram itu sepertinya awet buat sebulan kalo dipake tiap hari.

 

 

Pas dipake ke kulit rasanya semriwing dan adem banget, beneran jadi lembab deh, dan karena dia berbentuk padat, juga meresap cepat ke kulit. Nggak kayak pelembab Wardah-ku sebelumnya. Pokoknya dioles langsung meresap dan nggak perlu nunggu-nunggu lagi buat langsung lenongan. Tapi membaurnya harus rata ya, kalo nggak nanti suka ada putih-putih ketinggalan di muka mu, hahahah. Makanya make ginian harus sambil ngaca XD.

 

Sayangnya pas setelah sekitar 2 jam aku pake ini, muka langsung berasa minyakan. Waktu itu aku cuma pake pelembab ini, plus di set sama BB Cream dan compact powder. Well, bukan kilang minyak banget sih karena mukaku tipe normal-oily, tapi kalo wajahmu yang minyakan banget, mungkin kamu bakal ngerasa pelembab ini kaga banget ya.

 

Overall, dari lembabnya sih aku ngerasa produk ini enak banget, apalagi kalo dipake abis mandi pas muka lagi keset-kesetnya. Tapi kalo dari efek minyakannya itu, aku ngerasa salah beli. Kayaknya harus coba pelembab yang seri green tea-nya deh. Ntar kalo udah nyoba yang itu aku review lagi deh. Tapi ntar, kalo yang ini udah abis.

 

Kesimpulannya:

• Krimnya padat dan soft
• Rasanya adem di muka
• Melembabkan? Iya
• Tapi hasilnya jadi minyakan di aku
• Cepat meresap
• Awet, isinya bisa buat sebulan
• Wangi kembang surga setaman
• Murmer, cuma IDR 8 ribuan

 

Review: Revlon Wet/Dry Eyeshadow (Raisin Rage)

Produk yg mau aku ripiu kali ini adalah esedo Revlon. Bukan merk lokal tapi lagi males aja pake basa Inggris. Karna kalo bukan pake 'basa ibu' itu mikirnya dua kali. Nulis plus mikir basa Inggrisnya apaan, iya gak sih. Berhubung ini otak lagi dong-dong, yahudahlah...

 

Karena beauty box-ku sudah dipenuhi oleh esedo berwarna ceria (baca: warna gila), jadi ceritanya aku mau agak-agak menyentuh bumi dikit. Kebelilah ini esedo yang warnanya amat sangat au naturel sekali, pake banget juga... Nggak beli juga sih, karena ini gratisan setelah belanja berapaaa gitu di apotik Watsons. Itung-itung, lumayan lah. Kan ceritanya eke belom pernah nyoba esedo Revlon.

 

 

 

Kemasannya kayak Hamutaro-kun, imut-imut. Paling selebar telapak tangan. Tutupnya juga transparan, jadi keliatan isi dalemnya. Sayangnya no mirror bo. Tapi tutup plastiknya itu lumayan tebel loh, kokoh lah keliatannya.

 

 

Kalo dilihat dari deskripsi nama dan petunjuknya sih, esedo ini bisa dipake basah dan kering. Kalo mau lebih intens warnanya, cukup basahkan sponge-nya. Walau menurutku agak absurd juga sih... kan semua esedo bisa dipake basah, tinggal korek aja pake sponge basah. Bahkan semua esedo itu bisa dibuat lipstik.

 

Teksutrnya sih nggak berbubuk, tapi kok ya keras banget. Kurang empuk gitu pas dicolek. Masih empukan esedonya Sariayu.

 

 

 

Yang jadi pertanyaan aku waktu liat aplikatornya, et dah kenape penyet gini bentuknya? Soalnya kalo buka ripiu blogger lain, bentuknya oval. Apa karena kegencet kali ya. Tapi kebetulan juga sih, jadi ujungnya yang penyet itu bisa aku pake buat warnain bagian outter V. Sebenernya seperti kebanyakan aplikator, ini emang seadanya. Tapi emang kemasannya praktis banget, males deh mau bawa kuas lagi kemana-mana. Lagian aplikator kayak gini tinggal beli aja kalo udah gak bagus lagi, banyak dimana-mana.

 

 

Swatch-nya sekilas di jariku kayak gini. Yang satu coklat gelap (meski gak terlalu gelap), yang satunya warna kulit. Bahasa kerennya 'fleshtone'.

 

 

Kalo ngomongin soal pigmentasi, ah nggak banget deh. Kayaknya aku udah usek beberapa kali tapi jadinya tetep aja tipis begitu. Setelah dikasi NYX Eyeshadow Base (White Matte) agak lumayan membantu sih, tapi yah tetep kurang menurutku.

 

***

 

Rasanya takkan lengkap sebuah repiu esedo tanpa kehadiran EOTD. Daaaan karena aku lagi rajin juga, sempet juga kubuat pictorialnya, yay! Sedikit catetan ya, di EOTD ini aku make esedonya dengan aplikator bawaannya itu, sekedar menguji performanya. Hehehe...

 

1. Setelah merapikan alis, beri eye primer di seluruh kelopak mata.
2. Apply warna fleshtone di seluruh kelopak mata hingga melewati bagian lipatan mata. Baurkan.
3. Apply warna coklat tua hanya di kelopak mata bagian atas. Baurkan.
4. Apply warna coklat tua di kelopak mata bagian bawah.
5. Bingkai matamu dengan eyeliner hitam di atas dan bawah mata.
6. Hihlight bagian dalam bawah mata dengan eyeliner atau eyeshadow putih/silver.
7. Kamu bisa tambahkan bulu mata palsu atau maskara kalo mau.

Sedikit tips, riasan mata ini bisa banget dibuat jadi lebih natural lagi. Untuk step No. 5 kamu cukup membingkai matamu dengan eyeliner di bagian atas mata saja, udah berenti di situ, ga usah diterusin lagi kalo menurutmu udah agak lebay. Bentuk eyelinernya juga bisa dipendekin dikit, ga usah sepanjang itu.

 

Jadinya seperti ini, dilihat dari beberapa sudut:

 

Jadinya natural banget ya. Di foto hampir gak keliatan, serasa gak pake esedo, dalam 'kehidupan nyata' esedo ini juga nggak terlalu nyala. Padahal sponge bawaannya itu udah aku usek-usek banget loh di pan-nya.

 

Menurutku sih produk dengan warna seperti ini cocok banget buat yang:

• Nggak terlalu suka riasan menonjol.
• Baru belajar dandan dan masih malu-malu tengsin buat makeup-in mata.
• Buat anak sekolahan yang pengen dandan buat hangout (bukan buat sekolah ya).
• Anak kuliahan yang sebenernya berjiwa lenong banget tapi nggak mau kemenoran karena takut di-bully senior atau disinisin ama dosen yang punya anggapan mahasiswi kece itu pasti lenjeh, ganjen, males, kerjaannya dugem mulu, nggak pernah belajar.
• Orang kantoran yang napsu dandan tapi peraturan kantor gak boleh dandan selaen pake warna netral, terus kalo cakep dikit bisa disirikin sama yang udah tua senior, terus dicap sok pamer, dibilang beli kosmetik ngabisin duit suami doang.
• Atau... ya udah udah udah... ngelantur, maap jadi emosi dikit. Hahahah...

Balik ke topik...

 

Ketahanan esedo ini aku bilang lumayan ya untuk harganya, nggak mengecewakan deh. Tapi dengan catetan, aku baru pake ini buat ke tempat-tempat non-hardcore. Entah gimana jadinya kalo kamu pake buat outdoor atau berenang, kayaknya sih nggak bakal tahan diliat dari harganya. Paling banter aku cuma pake buat wudhu, dan luntur tapi dikit. Mungkin harus pake primer yang lebih nampol lagi biar hasilnya lebih pol.

 

Oke mari kita rangkum:

• Medium to low pigmentation.
• Very natural shade, tidak cocok buat yang berjiwa banci tampil
• Medium staying power.
• Travel friendly packaging.
• Great for daily use.
• How much: IDR40-50K (I forgot), but not more than IDR 50K (USD 4).
