Mega Birthday Haul


Aaaakh, asli bejubel ini haul. Sampe gue males nyusunnya satu persatu.

Another birthday haul!

Yeaaah. Bulan lalu kan ceritanya umur gue nambah, yang tadinya 396 bulan jadi 408 bulan. Ga tau sisanya berapa. Jadi gue memutuskan gapapa dong kalo setaun sekali gue bikin haul yang agak ultra mega super big gitu dibanding bulan-bulan sebelumnya. Mungkin ada yang ngerasa haul ini biasa aja, tapi buat gue ini udah banyak banget. 

Langsung aja kita breakdown satu-satu. Gue juga mencantumkan harga dan tempat belinya. Kali-kali aja bisa jadi bahan referensi. Sori ya kalo misalnya kurang akurat.



Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink)
Beli di @chelmakeupos Instagram sekitar IDR 380K (lupa ya, segitu kalo ga salah)
One of my wishlist item, the thing that I have to buy before I die. Gue butuh waktu satu tahun lebih untuk berfikir dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk membeli produk kecil yang harganya cukup ngehe ini. Udah pernah gue review. Klik di sini.




NYX Powder Blush (Taupe) IDR 80K
NYX Liquid Illuminator (Sun Beam) IDR 80K
Dua-duanya beli di Instagram @makeupuccino
Yang blusher-nya itu juga gue beli karena penasaran banget karena katanya bisa buat shading cyiiin, apalagi yg warna Taupe ini kata BA-nya gak masuk ke Indonesia. Ga tau kenapa bisa gitu, mungkin karena kaga ada yg bukain pintu. Sedangkan NYX Liquid Illuminatornya gue beli karena gak punya highlighter aja. Tengok sana sini, yang muncul dia duluan di depan gw, jadi langsung aja gw tarik.




NYX Baked Highlighter (Moonlight Pearl)
Preloved item IDR 45K
Ini juga beli karena gak mampu beli The Balm Marylouminizer. Mampu sih, cuma sayang aja. Pas ngobrol-ngobrol sama blogger lain katanya ini dupe-nya. Pas banget Nuri Adlina jual preloved-nya. Hidup gue emang sering banget pas-pasan.




BIORE Makeup Remover for Eye & Lip
Sekitar IDR 80-90K di apotik Guardian
Sebenernya gue beli ini karena warnanya pink. Udah itu aja.




LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint (Pin Up)
IDR 55K di kutekmurah.net
Jujur gue sebenernya kaga niat beli si Pin Up cuma naksir karna harganya murah banget di web itu. Mungkin paling murah yang pernah gue temuin.




LA Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss (Stunner & Secret)
IDR 55K di kutekmurah.net
Ini juga belinya gara-gara keracunan temen-temen beauty blogger. Apalagi kata emak-emak di sekolah anak gue, yang ini lumayan ramah di bibir, ga kering banget gitu.




Lime Crime Velvetiness in Chasmere
IDR 275K, preloved item from Edelyne
Salah satu daftar wishlist yang cukup mengganggu, soalnya pengen banget beli tapi terbentur masalah harga. Untung ada yang jual PL-nya.




Colourpop Lippe Stix in Tootsi
IDR 110K in @mai_shop
Ini tergoda beli karena dari swatch-nya di @dupethat (kalo ga salah) dia mirip banget sama LC Cashmere. Pas beli emang ternyata lumayan mirip, tapi yang ini agak lebih gelap dan lebih wearable warnanya.





Sugarpill Palettes (Burning Hearts, Heart Breaker, and Sweet Heart)
Masing-masing IDR 440K beli di Lazada
Ini yah barang yang paling gue sayang di antara kumpulan haul bulan ini, belinya juga sama kayak beli eyeliner Bobbi Brown, mikirnya udah dari tahun 2013. Jadi gue jelaslah bukan orang yang bisa sembarangan buang uang banyak untuk beli kosmetik (alaaah yang beneeeer...). Kalo sampe bertahun-tahun masih kepengen, itu berarti beneran pengen, bukan laper mata.





Caring Colors BB Cream (Luminizing)
IDR 80-90K something (lupa!) di apotik Guardian
Yang ini juga pengen nyoba karena keracunan pas baca review-nya Shinta Swatantra, tapi kenapa gitu lupa mulu. Cape deh. Mungkin kalo mau gue review sekarang udah telat yak? Gimana tuh? Heheheh.




Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner (Brown)
Revlon Colorstay Skinny Liquid Liner (Gold)
Ini sih gak sepenuhnya bisa gue sebut haul ya, karna ini juga barang gratisan yang dikirimin dari @bblog_id untuk keperluan lomba. Tapi gapapa lah, biar keliatan banyak.




Mehron Liquid Latex in White (IDR 180-190K di @makeupuccino)
Mehron Rigid Collodion (IDR 160K di @mehronindonesia)
Dah lama bangeeeet gue mau beli dua benda ini cuma ga tau beli di mana. Akhirnya setelah ngoprek sana-sini dapet jugaaa (nangis terharu). Sampe sekarang gue juga ga tau sih ini mau diapain, karena belom dapet ide buat apaan.




PAC Matte Lipstick in Alluring Red (IDR 90-110K)
PAC Eyeshadow Pencil in Romantic Duo (IDR 130-150K)
Dua item ini gue dapet pas ada event Jakarta Fashion & Food Festival di Kelapa Gading Mall, sekaligus ada event PAC juga di sana. Yang lipstik merah itu gue masih bingung mau diapain hehehe, tapi yang eyeshadow pensilnya gue suka banget, warnanya itu nude sama coklat tua. Yang nude kayaknya bisa buat concealer alis kayaknya, dan yang coklat itu bisa dipastikan bakalan kepake untuk eyeshadow, shading hidung dan wajah, dan lain-lain.




Maybelline Make Up Remover Eye & Lip kemasan kecil
Maybelline Baby Lips Color (Pink Lolita)
Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Cake Powder (shade Light & Natural) 
Maybelline Hyper Curl Volum Express 
Maybelline Hyper Curl Volum Express Cat Eyes (IDR 80-90K di Zalora)
Semua barang Maybelline ini gue dapet dari goodiebag Maybelline waktu ada launching bedak Clear Smoothnya beberapa waktu lalu. Yang gue beli sendiri cuma maskara yang botolnya panjang itu. Ini varian maskara Maybelline yang gue suka banget karena bentuk sisirnya yang tiada duanya, kecil banget kayak sisir. Cocok buat orang yang bulu matanya hampir gak ada kayak gue.




EOS Baby In Choco
(IDR 95K in @cleoputri)




Left to right:
Masami Shouko Flat Definer No. 307 (IDR 42K)
Two Masami Shouko tappered blending brushes No. 219 (IDR 42K)
Masami Shouko Small Shader Brush No. 213 (IDR 42K)
Atelier Bell Double Ended Brush (IDR 12K)
Aslinya gue juga ga tau merk mana kuas Atelier itu ya, gue beli di minimarket dan+dan deket rumah. Plastiknya sih ada logo Kay Collection, jadi asumsi gue, brush murmer ini juga ada di Kay Collection. Sedangkan brush Masami Shouko itu gue dapet di Sogo Kota Kasablanka.




From top to bottom:
Armando Carusso Angled Liner No. 07 (IDR 30K something)
Armando Carusso Travel Liner No. 28 (IDR 30K something)
Armando Carusso Stippling Brush (IDR 80-90K)
Semua ini gue beli online di web ayoubeauty.com. Untuk Travel Linernya itu ya, adalah kuas yg oke banget untuk apply eyeshadow di under lashes. Dengan pake ini eyeshadow di bawah mata jadi keliatan lebih nyata dan rapi. Dulu pernah punya tapi diilangin anak gue, jadi gue beli lagi.




Viva Peeling Cream (IDR 6K something)
Viva Shimmering Loose Powder (IDR 30K something)
Jadi ya gue beli peeling cream itu di web viva, dan gue cuma butuh ituuuu. Tapi kan pembelian minimal harus lima puluh ribu, dan pas ngutak-ngatik webnya, ketauanlah kalo Viva ternyata juga punya bedak shimmernya. OMG, gue langsung beli tanpa pikir panjang. Hahahahah. Nafsu banget. Soalnya waktu itu ELF highlighter belom sempet kebeli.






D'eyeko Teasure Lashes No. 137 (IDR 80-90K di Zalora)
D'eyeko Siti Liza Juwita Series (IDR 70K di minimarket dan+dan)
I don't know why, meskipun mahal, but I always adore D'eyeko lashes.


***

Okeee, ya udah segitu aja. Ini gue ngos-ngosan ngetiknya ama motonya bo. Asli ini haul termaruk dan terkalap. Ada banyak lagi sebenernya yang gue dapet dari beberapa giveaway teman-teman beauty blogger tapi itu udah gue post di akun instagram aja, ga usah di sini. Kebanyakan bo. Moga-moga keterangan harga dan tempat belinya cukup akurat ya, kalo salah ya maap aja namanya juga manusia hehehehe. Oh ya, gak bosen gue bilang kalo gue sama sekali bermaksud untuk show-off di post haul ini, tapi mau pamer aja. Eh, sama aja dong ya. Ya udah terserah deh. :D

Kalo ada yang mau minta di review monggo komen aja di bawah. Ini komik gue udah selesai di download semua, yaaay! Gue mau begadang dulu. ^_^

Review: Sleek Matte Me (Birthday Suit/436)



Sleek Matte Me was originally launched about 2 years ago, if I'm not mistaken, but this became a hit just recently. 

The packaging itself is quite simple. Clear class bottle and a matte black cap, and with a big Matte Me sign on the bottle. I bought this online. When I first got this, I slightly doubted the product authenticity because the font design was a bit different from what I saw on their official web and on some beauty blogs from around the world. But I got this from a reputable online store, so I would assume this one is authentic with its latest packging design.







Color system from left to right:

Rioja Red
Birthday Suit
Brink Pink
Fandango Purple
Party Pink
Petal


The shade I own is Birthday Suit (436). And as stated on the bottle, this product can last up to 3 years upon first openning (36 months). Compared to LA Splash (only 3 months) or Lime Crime (12 months), Sleek Matte Me is more economical in terms of its life span.





The applicator is what I love. Instead of a classic doe-foot shape, it is extra long and pointy, and making the application a lot easier.



Typical matte lip cream: wet when freshly applied and turned to a dead matte result in 5 minutes.



Sooo Birthday Suit is a classic nude with pinkish/brownish tone. I think this suit all skin color. It's nude but not muted/pale. The type of color that will never go wrong.




The product dries quickly. While waiting to dry, DO NOT ever pout your lips together, or else it'll end up miserable. While waiting for it to dry, I actually felt that tacky and uncomfortable feeling on my lips, but once they all set, they won't budge. And although it feels dry, but sooo comfortable and doesn't dry my lips.

And unlike most matte lip cream I tried, the inner part of your lips won't clump even after you eat or drink. So reapplying never been sooo easy. I have no idea how this is happens. Is it because the formula, or is because the color pigment? Just FYI, I have two Lime Crime products in the shade Pink Velvet (a hot pink) which is soo much more drying than the shade Cashmere (a nude tone).

Of all the matte lip cream products, I think this one that gives me more comfort, compared to other brands. I bought this in @makeuptoolshop in their Instagram account for about IDR 120K. But the prices may vary in several online stores. And, please do not look for this brand offline, they're not available in Indonesia. Not yet.

Review: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Black Ink)

I've heard and read so many good reviews about Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. This even starred 4.3 in makeupalley.com and awarded as the best beauty products by several magazines. I'm not a fan of high end products and there are several dupes in the market, but I feel like I have to give this a try, like one of the things I have to try before I die.



Nothing special about its packaging, just some regular glass pot with plastic cap, it also comes with a black box.



There are two variants: black and brown.







The color is not one the best jet black. I have to swipe several times until I get just the right blackness. Compared to my ELF Cream Liner, Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is less intense. Although I don't know if I could compare these two products, considering the other one is a drugstore darling.




I must say that Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner has a hard texture. The surface on the pot won't get messy easily although you scratch it with your eyeliner brush, although I don't experience any difficulty taking the product out of its pot. Its hardness gives extra control of how much the product you can take. It's also have smooth and anti-clump texture.

On the other hand, the hard texture is also one of its weakness. It's a bit hard to apply the product on my eyelid, I have to apply several layers until I get just the right blackness and thickness. Weird, because I read so many reviews mentioning its easy application because I don't experience it at all. Just tell me where did I go wrong?

So, the most important question: does it budge? Yes, unfortunately but just in a tiny tiny amount. I used this on several occassions with eye primer and then after a couple of hours a small amount of smudginess appear under my eye bags. But the rest of the lines were there until the end of the day.

A bit disspointing though, considering so many good reviews and (lets not forget) its high price. But I must say, compared to other gel liners I've tried so far, this one cost me the least amount of smear under my eyes. I'm pretty sure for those of you who don't prone to oily lids or watery eyes, Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner can be a great product for you.

I think I still need to find another smudgeproof gel eyeliner and considering of purchasing MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack. Btw, I bought this online for about IDR 380K and would cost more if you buy this from Bobbi Brown official counters. There are several online stores that sells with lower proces, but I bought this from the seller I trusted.

Review: Sabun JF Sulfur Acne Care

 

Gw gak pernah ngobatin jerawat secara khusus. Paling kalo cuci muka aja yang pas bagian jerawatnya disabunin agak lama, cepet ilangnya walaupun gak pake sabun khusus jerawat. Cuma beberapa waktu lalu gw iseng nyobain skin care baru, alhasil muka gw jerawat batu di rahang dan jidat, bruntusan kayak apa tau. Geli banget. Jadi gw langsung aja kepikiran nyobain sabun JF Sulfur karena inget temen-temen gw suka pake ini kalo ngobatin jerawat, bahkan ada yang make untuk mencegah jerawat juga.


Sabun JF Sulfur tersedia di apotik, minimarket, supermarket, dll dengan harga sekitar IDR 10K.



Klaim:
- Membantu mematikan bakteri yang dapat menyebabkan radang jerawat.
- Membersihkan kulit dari kotoran dan minyak berlebihan.
- Membantu mengurangi jerawat dalam 2 minggu tanpa menyebabkan kulit kekeringan.

Sabun JF Sulfur ada dua variannya, setau gw. Yang kemasan kuning seperti yang gw punya ini untuk mengobati jerawat. Satu lagi kemasan biru (dengan sabun warna transparan) untuk mencerahkan wajah dan menghilangkan noda jerawat.




Sabunnya berwarna kekuningan dengan ukuran yang menurut gw ih gede banget. Lebih gede dari ukuran sabun badan. Sabun ini bukan sabun kecantikan ya, jadi baunya itu belerang banget walaupun menurut gw gak terlalu menyengat. Teksturnya agak kasar, kayak ada pasir-pasir halusnya.

Saran aja sih, karena ukurannya gede, gue sering potong sabun ini jadi 3 bagian. Bukan untuk ngirit, cuman sayang aja gitu. Biasanya sebelum sabun ini habis, manfaatnya udah terasa dan butuh waktu beberapa minggu lagi sebelum gue butuh pake lagi. Sementara kalo udah dibiarkan terbuka selama itu, kayaknya udah gak higienis. Jadi mending dipotong-potong, atau sekalian buang dan beli baru. Buat muka gitu lohhh, masa iya sembarangan.




Entah info ini penting apa nggak, tapi gue udah 7 tahunan pake sabun muka Olay Total Effects yang Cream Cleanser. Enak banget pake sabun itu, gak kering, dan kenyel banget rasanya. Cuma kalo untuk saat-saat di mana muka gue jerawatan, gue akan langsung beralih make si JF Sulfur ini. Dan seperti yang udah sebut di atas, efek jerawat yang kempes atau bruntusan yang berkurang akan langsung terasa selama beberapa hari menggunakan ini.

Walaupun di klaimnya tertulis kalo dia tidak menimbulkan kekeringan, terus terang hal itu nggak gw rasain. Habis cuci muka pake ini, muka gw rasanya ketarik dan kering banget, terutama di area garis tawa. Jadi setiap cuci muka, gue langsung pake toner dan pelembab di seluruh muka, terutama di bagian garis tawa gw bakal pake pelembab agak banyakan. Biar nyaman aja. Soalnya kalo nggak, lama kelamaan bakal muncul garis kehitaman di pinggir bibir, kayak boneka Tongky. Atau Chucky (kalo gak kenal Tongky). Atau Annabelle (kalo gak kenal Chucky). Gak kenal juga? Yahelah... Cape deh...

So far, sabun ini masih jadi andalan gw kalo kondisi kulit wajah lagi nggak bersahabat. Tapi begitu muka udah balik normal lagi, gw akan langsung ganti ke sabun Olay Total Effects, karena ga tahan dengan efek keringnya. 






Review: Mores 2 Eyes Sleeping Eyes Mask & Mores White Booster (*)



Mores is Thailand premium skin care brand which was certified by Thailand and Korean FDA on February 2014. And last month I had chance to try out two of their skin care products: Mores 2 Eyes Sleeping Mask (full size) and Mores White Booster (travel size).


MORES 2 EYES Sleeping Mask






Mores 2 Eyes Sleeping Eyes Mask cream was infused in a transparent pump bottle which was originally packed in a bulky blue box. It has a quite unique pump that can be twisted around to pump out the product.








Claims:
- Erases dark circles
- Minimizes the bags under your eyes and reduce swelling/bruising and keeps skin smoother
- Brightens and firms you under eyes
- Boosts tired eyes, strengthens, and prevents aging lines 





MORES WHITE BOOSTER



Mores White Booster I got was a travel size (5 ml size). This product is originally infused in a transparent pump bottle as you can see in the pictures below.




Judging from their claims above, Mores White Booster has all that most Indonesian women wanted the most: fair and flawless skin.



The texture of these two products are almost the same: creamy, light, absorbed easily, have that soothing/cooling sensation, and have that soft flowery scent. But Mores White Booster has thicker consistency than Mores 2 Eyes.


My Take

Mores 2 Eyes Sleeping Eyes Mask:
I only tried this product for less than a month. It has a light and creamy texture and felt cool and sooth my eyes. I love this feeling! For several weeks trying this, I experienced no breakout, instead I felt the puffiness and aging lines on my eyes decreased a little. And as for its brightening effect, I don't experience any significant result. I have very heavy dark circles under and upper my eyes, just for the record. So I guess, I still need stronger product to overcome this problem.

Mores White Booster:
Since I can only wear this about 2 or 3 times, I cannot review how this effects my skin. But I experienced no breakout at all and I love how the cream absorbed easily on my skin and doesn't give that oily/greasy look.
