Review: Sariayu Duo Lip Function B-01 (Bena)

Kembali lagi bersama aku, Sariayu, dan produk pemulas bibir.

Aku akan terus menjejalkan kalian dengan produk Sariayu sampe semua yang aku beli habis. Hahahah.

***

PACKAGING

Sebenernya produk ini adalah free item yang aku dapet waktu beli Sariayu Lip Eye Kit. Seri ini adalah keluaran lama sebenernya, yaitu dari trend warna 2012 (Etnika Nusa Tenggara). Dan karena ini gratisan, aku gak tahu harga di konter-nya berapa, tapi di website resminya dibandrol dengan harga IDR 66K.

Karena mengadaptasi budaya Nusa Tenggara, jadi motifnya juga Nusa Tenggara banget.

Ada dua jenis warna dari Duo Lip Function seri ini, yaitu Kelimutu dan Bena. Kalo Kelimutu warnanya agak ungu pink gitu, tadinya aku mau milih yang itu tapi kok pas di swatch ke tangan, dia gak terlalu nyata. Jadi aku pilih Bena. Botolnya ini sebenernya agak gendut kalo dipegang.

Ngomong-ngomong, maafkan akuuu huhuhuh, aku lupa foto keseluruhan bodinya ketika sudah dibuka. Yang jelas satu ujung isinya lipstik, ujung yang lain berisi lipgloss. Dan tidak seperti lipstiknya yang bisa bugil ketika plastiknya dibuka, kalo Duo Lip Function ini gak memerlukan usaha ekstra untuk menjaga motif plastiknya tetap di sana. Tinggal puter aja kemasannya, dan plastiknya itu nggak akan robek semuanya.

Warna lipstiknya itu agak coklat mengarah ke peach, bagus sih, tapi kok sama ya dengan warna lipstik Sariayu B-04 (Borneo) yang keluaran 2014....

Yang ini lipglossnya. Batang aplikatornya itu lumayan pendek, gak kayak lipgloss pada umumnya. Warnanya sekilas kayak warna orange yang cerah.

***

SWATCHES & PERFORMANCE

Swatch nya di tanganku, warnanya itu muda sekali ya. Kalo lipstiknya kayaknya bakal creamy, tapi ada glitter di lipglossnya, nggak lebay sih tapi tetap keliatan.

My bare lips.

Daaan ini hasilnya di bibirku:

***

LIPGLOSS ONLY

Aku suka bangeeeet sama warna lipglossnya. Pas di swatch kayak orange muda, pas di bibirku... jadi warna apa ya ini? Aku ga tau heheheh, yang jelas aku suka efek glitternya itu. Dan bagus juga kalo dipake cuma lipglossnya aja, gak terlihat kusam atau pucat.

***

LIPSTICK ONLY

Nude brown, with a hint of peach/orange.

***

LIPSTICK + LIPGLOSS

Pas di swatch dua-duanya di bibirku jadinya gini. Tetep aja warna lipstiknya lebih menang. Tapi ada tambahan rona glitter dari lipglossnya. Kalo liat swatch lipgloss dan lipsticknya, kayaknya cocok buat semua warna kulit. Btw, ini bukan orange ya, tapi coklat cenderung peach.

***

Kalo ngomongin soal warna, setelah beli beberapa lipstik Sariayu dari seri moistpome yang berbeda-beda, sepertinya dari tahun ke tahun Sariayu nggak bereksperimen terlalu banyak soal warna. Beda dengan eyeshadow-nya yang lebih variatif. Kalo lipstiknya gak jauh dari warna pink jreng, merah cabe, dan coklat peach. Yah, warna-warna aman lah. Tiap tahun trend warnanya emang ganti-ganti nama, tapi untuk warna lipstik sepertinya mereka nggak terlalu banyak bereksperimen. Istilahnya sih: warnanya itu lagi, itu lagi. Nggak nyalahin juga sih, jarang ada juga orang endonesa demen make warna bibir belang bonteng, bisa kaga laku kali. Aku udah beberapa kali review lipstik ini, coba aja di-search buat perbandingan.

Tekstur lipstiknya juga sama dengan lipstik seri moistpome keluaran Sariayu, yaitu creamy, berbau permen karet yang menggemaskan, dan di aku nggak bikin bibir kering. Daya tahannya sih sebentar banget, maybe karena dia warna nude. Dan untuk bibir yang kehitaman, yang ini juga nggak bisa menutupinya dengan sempurna karena nggak begitu pekat.

Sayangnya di bagian pigmentasi, aku bisa bilang lipstiknya kurang nyata. Di aku yang warna bibirnya pucat aja perlu beberapa kali oles supaya keluar warnanya. Aku coba pakein di bibir temenku yang agak kehitaman, di dia warna lipstiknya jadi gak terlalu keliatan, malah keliatan kayak pake lipbalm. Mungkin perlu di-dab pake concealer lagi biar warnanya lebih keluar.

***

Kesimpulan:

Peach lipgloss with glitters, tapi glitternya gak lebay
Lipstiknya warna nude brown with a hint of peach
Creamy lipstick with satin finishing
Moistured my lips, at least on me
Low to medium pigmentation, the same goes to its longevity
Gak bisa nutupin noda kehitaman di sekeliling bibir
Warna coklatnya ini gak jauh beda dengan warna coklat dari tren-tren warna lipstik Sariayu sebelum dan sesudahnya. Jadi saran aja sih, sebagai sesama konsumen, kalo udah punya warna coklat, pink, dan merahnya dari satu tahun tren warna (misal trend warna 2012), gak terlalu disaranin beli dari trend warna sebelum dan sesudahnya, karena gak terlalu jauh beda. Kecuali kalo kamu koleksi ya.
How much: IDR 66K di websitenya, tapi kalo di konter aku kurang tahu.

Review: Secret Key Snow White Milky Pack

"First of all, I would like to thank to all online shops and beauty bloggers around the world for posioning me to buy this product."

***

I'm not very fond of cometics with whitening effect. But it's Secret Key, and it's Niacinamide. So, I guess I'll give it a shot. Here's my review after using this for a month. If you're wondering what niacinamide is, you can hit you button here or simply google it. It's everywhere on the internet.

The design of the bottle is very simple yet pretty. For your information, the bottle size is almost as big as a baby powder bottle.

As written on the packaging:

Just apply and wash out, and Whitening Pack will brighten your complexion. Its quick absorption will not make it rub off on clothes, and it's smooth texture will make application very easy. Whitening agent niacinamide will multiply the whitening effects. It will provide moisture to keep skin soft and revlieve irritated skin. Your skin will look most natural and brilliant, making you look more beautiful. Your skin will look and feel brighter with continued use.

The ingredients:

Titanium dioxide, sodium hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, sorbitan rate, Ceresin, methylparaben, purified water, spices, cyclopentasiloxane cyclohexanone siloxane, dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, butylene glycol, not chilpi / p Fiji -10 /dimethicone cross 1 dimethicone, penta-cycle Annals Sandi the Chicon vinyl menu polymer, di-methyl siloxane.

The cap! It's flip-cap! Yeay!

***

HOW TO APPLY

So I took a small amount of the cream and applied it on my hand. The cream is indeed a white sticky one with a soft floral fragarance. Floral is the only word that came to my mind to describe its smell because I really have no idea what kind of smell it was. But it's good, not weird.

Just a small amount of the cream was enough to cover half part of my hand.

Blend it with a massaging motion. Leave it for a few minutes. I left it for about 10 minutes. Btw, do you notice that my skin tone changed a bit?

After several minutes, wash it with luke warm water (should be), but I just rinse it with tap water. Do not rub it, just wash it lightly then dry it out with towel. Ewww, my skin tone in this picture kinda freak me out, honestly. It's soooo, white >_<

Can you see the difference between my hands above? Well, those aren't exactly before-after picture. I use both of my right and left hands to compare the whitening result. The result claimed can last up to 8 hours, although it really depends on your skin condition. The more oily, the lesser it'll last

***

I tried to apply this on my face as moisturizer before I apply my whole makeup on, and luckily no purging effect whatsoever. But the instant white result freaks me out. Niacinamide agent is an ingredients used by many dermathologists, but I still doubt its safety for a long term period. Afterall, the whitening effect is a bit pale, in my opinion. Not that healthy natural white glow like I got when using Mustika Ratu Bangkoang Mask.

Maybe this product is usefull, for example, after I got that sunburn after swimming, or when my face looked terribly dull on my monthly period, or when I catch a cold, etc. In short, I will only use this when it's really necessary but not on a daily basis.

***

Summary:

Instant white result
Not a healthy white glow result
Moistening your skin
Floral fragrance
Niacinamide contained
Can last up to 8 hours, depends on your skin condition
How much: I forgot, but the range is about IDR 200K for 200g contain

Review: Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick (Mauve Outta Here & Bare It All)

Frist of all, I would like to appologize for giving you a review about poducts which aren't look photogenic anymore. I bought these Wet n Wild lipsticks many many weeks ago but always forget to write about this. I'd like to say that I do like these products sooo much.

I actually reviewed about lipstick from this series some time ago. Check it out here. You'll find a much tidier version of these since it was still brand new. I'm not gonna talk too much about the packaging since I already wrote it on the link above, so feel free to hit that mouse button to find out more about the packaging.

The shades I'll talk about are Mauve Outta Here and Bare It All

The bullet color retracted to the max. Since the first time buying these, the rounded tip always bug me since it's quite tricky to draw a price line on your lips.

Swatches on my hand in both lighting.

BARE IT ALL

This is, maybe, what you call, a nude brown shade with a hint of white. On the bullet I thought the color would turn pale, but when I wear it, apparently it was a pretty kind of pale. This one suits my skin tone well, and can brighten up my face even if it's pale. A very safe colo for any occassion.

MAUVE OUTTA HERE

Honestly, I have a love-hate-love-hate relationship with this. The texture and finishing is great but I'm not very fond of the shade. Mauve has always been my favorite lipstick shade, but on me, this one changed into a light pinkish purple. My mistake when searching swatches of this color was opening beauty blogs by western bloggers, you know how different their skin tone and bare lips color than mine. But, I couldn't find local beauty bloggers who have reviewed this item. And moreover, this one stains your lips, a lot.

***

Ombre lips I created a few days ago. Products I used:

Revlon Colorstay Lipliner in Nude

Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick in Bare It All

NYX JEP in Milk

***

In short, Mega Last Lipstick is a good product for me. Smooth glide, pigmented color, and they even able to cover the darkness around your lips area since the texture is very opaque. Once you apply it, it leaves a satin finishing on your lips, not very dry looking like matte lipstick, but not to buttery like most creamy lipsticks. There are 26 color variants, if I'm not mistaken, and the variety is great, but only in safe colors. Please don't think about green lipstick. :D The Mauve is the only thing I regret. I think I'll hunt for the shade Pinkerbell. I heard it's a dupe of Lime Crime Geradium. *Wink!*

***

Verdicts:

Opaque color
Doesn't dry my lips
A little goes a long the way
Mauve Outta Here stains your lips once you wipe it
Long lasting the whole day but with taking a meal they faded just a bit
Satin finishing
Can cover your lips darkness
How much: IDR 79K on their official counters, but available on many online shops with much cheaper price. I bought these not more than IDR 50K.
Available in: many drugstores or supermarkets, or even online shops.

Happy hunting!

Review: Sugarpill Pressed Eyeshadow (Love+)

Have you ever stood, as a 10 year old girl, in front of a shop window staring eagerly at the latest issue of your favorite Manga. Cold hands, heart beating fast, but you could do nothing since you had no money. You only had that IDR 50, enough to buy gorengan and es mambo. And the Manga would cost IDR 3,000. I wasn't poor, but born a tight budget family.

Well, more or less, the same thing happened to me when I saw this eyeshadow. And since I'm a grown up now, money wasn't the issue, but the goods availability. It is so hard to find this indie brand in Indonesia, you only can buy this through online shop, pre-order.

So when I saw this on sale in Facebook, I immediately bought it. It is used item, but I don't mind. It's still like new anyway. And when the package arrived, the same blood-rushing experience happened again. LOLs.

Cute packaging, huh? The box somehow reminds me of matchbox. The clear cap makes it easier to look through the pan and find the color you want IF you have more than one.

The ingredients.

It contains 3.5g product. Not as petite as it looks.

The packaging somehow reminds me of MUA single eyeshadow. But the black part of the packaging felt smooth and velvety on your finger tip. It may look cheap, but once you touch it, you know it's not.

Rubbed my fingers on the pan and got this pigmented red mark on my middle finger. Sorry, I used my middle finger, it was a coincidence. The pan somehow felt HARD, but not powdery nor buttery. And it's matte. But, somehow, I need a lot of rubbing to achieve one solid color swatch.

The color looked a bit different due to the usage of primer. With primer, the color changed into a pure red shade, but without primer, it looked a bit orange.

Run with tap water and swipe once with a cotton pad. It faded a bit but the one with primer wasn't faded out even a little.
Swiped once with Makeup Remover. Loreal Eye & Lip Makeup Remover really is a great product. :D

This picture is just a comparison of color amongst my red eyeshadow collection:

Sugarpill (Love+)
Ellianto
Coastal Scents (120 Ori Pallet 1)
Inez Sparkling Loose Eyeshadow (Glamorous Red)
Viva Cream Eyeshadow (Red)

I was a bit surprised, when swatching the color without primer, Viva Cream Eyeshadow is a pretty good dupe for Sugarpill. LMFAO.

One thing I'm a bit confused until now, is the reason why I wanted a red eyeshadow so bad due to the fact that I only wear eyeshadow occassionaly.

***

My EOTD using only this eyeshadow. Love the pigmented color but I made a mistake by using a white tone eyeshadow base (NYX eyeshadow base in Matte White) so the shade somehow changed into a bright sultry pink instead of a true red. Next time, I'll use my skin tone eyeshadow base. Or, maybe, because I use the white cream too much? IDK. I still need more practice.

My take:

Very pigmented color, especially with eye primer
Hard texture
Unusually bright tone and intimidating for some people
Petite packaging but generous content (3.5g)
Long lasting
Vegan cosmetic
Easy to remove (I use Loreal Eye & Lip Makeup Remover), I don't know if you use other remover, though. But using Loreal, I only need one cotton pad to remove the whole two eyes makeup.
How much: USD 12 on its official website. But also available in several online shops with price variety. But since it's preloved, this cost me IDR 95K only.

Score:

4.877 out of 5

And, yes, I'll buy this again someday. But I will try some other color.

Review: Sariayu Lip Eye Kit "Senandung Rimba Sumatra"

Yeaaah, baby!

Review lagi, balik lagi ke Sariayu. Jangan bosen dong, plis. Kalo suka warnain muka, dijamin rugi nggak nyobain merk yang satu ini. Decorative line-nya banyak banget dengan seri warna dan kemasan yang khas banget Indonesia, plus kualitas yang cukup bersaing. Bener, ini bukan post hasil sponsor, jadi murni pendapat aku.

Aku kepincut sama Lip Eye Kit ini waktu ada event-nya Sariayu di mall Kota Kasablanka. Harganya lupa, tapi waktu itu (kayaknya) aku beli cuma IDR 100K plus udah dapet free Duo Lip Function. Di web-nya sendiri dibandrol sekitar IDR 120K. Buatku segitu murmer lah buat produk yang ada lipstik dan esedo sekaligus, plus kemasan yang simple dan nggak keliatan murahan.

Oke, before kita move on, mau warning kamu aja, bahasanku kali ini agak panjang dari biasanya.

Kemasannya panjang dan agak ramping. Dikemas dalam kotak bergambar trademark-nya pulau Sumatra. Sekilas mengingatkan akan kemasan coklat. Nyam... Paletnya itu terbuat dari plastik warna putih patah (broken white, maksudnya...), terus ada logo Sariayu dari tinta emas di bagian depannya. Oh, iya, tuh tuh tuh keliatan gak ada logo Halal-nya di kotak?

Rada surprise juga sih pas tutupnya dibuka karena kupikir eyeshadow-nya kecil, ga taunya lemayan besar juga. Soalnya lubang intipnya kecil sih. XD

Jenis warnanya dari kiri ke kanan:

Coklat tua keemasan

Krem/kuning keemasan

Biru laut

Pink dangdut

Merah hati (kalo di swatch sekilas kayak coklat yang tuaaaa banget)

Berhubung ngga ada nama-nama warnanya, aku bikin brand namanya sesuka hatiku yaaa. Yang aku heran, kok yaaa ada warna merah hati nongol di situ karena buatku warna ini termasuk jarang dipake orang sini. Mungkin karena inspirasinya hutan Sumatra ya, ngambil elemen warna dari Rafflesia Arnoldii? Hahaha, entahlah. Mungkin lebih masuk kalo ada warna hijau deh kayaknya.

Geserlah palet bagian atasnya ke samping kanan, dan kamu akan menemukan ~~harta karun~~ palet lipstik di bawahnya, plus cermin super mini dan double ended applicator. Satu ujungnya kuas lipstik, ujung satu lagi sponge buat aplikator esedonya. Dan seperti applicator bawaan pada umumnya, yang ini juga emang seadanya banget. Yang penting ada, gitu. Kek mana pula mau apply esedo pake sponge? Trus kuas lipstiknya letoy banget, ngolesin lipstik prosesnya jadi lamaaaa banget.

Duh, maap nih komposisinya kurang jelas. Ini udah terjelas yang bisa kefoto.

***

EYESHADOW

Pertama-tama mari kita bahas warna eyeshadow-nya dulu.

Untuk hasil pigmentasinya so-so lah, menurutku. Yang paling nyata adalah warna biru dan pink-nya. Surprisngly, si merah hati ini ga terlalu pigmented. Tapi sekalinya pake eye primer, wooow, jadi nyata banget. Di sini aku pake eye primer-nya Etude House. Tapi kalo aku bandingin hasil review dari beauty blogger lain, ada yang bilang pigmentasinya bagus banget. Mungkin standar pigmented itu beda-beda ya tiap orang. Hehehe. Yang jelas waktu aku swatch warna di tangan, aku gak menggunakan tenaga banyak, cuma disiwir-siwir aja (apa ya bahasa endonesia siwir-siwir?). Mungkin kalo aplikatornya kamu tekan dengan tenaga badak, bisa jauh lebih pigmented.

Buat yang mau tau finishing-nya seperti apa, ya kayak gini. Tipikal esedo khas Indonesia banget: Shimmer. Duh, kenapa bukan matte sih. Semuanya shimmer, ga ada yang matte.

Yang ini beberapa hasil EOTD menggunakan warna esedo hanya dari palet ini. Maaf tidak ada pictorialnya. :(

Bisa kamu lihat kan hasilnya di mataku itu bling-bling sekaleeeh.

Untuk look yang pertama aku menggunakan paduan warna pink, biru dan merah hati. Apply biru di kelopak mata atas, lalu apply merah hatinya di outter V dan di lipatan kelopak mata. Baurkan warna merah hati tadi dengan warna pink ke arah tulang alis. Jangan lupa apply biru lagi di bagian bawah mata. Apply eyeliner dengan gaya winged. Apply falsies.
Untuk yang kedua aku pake warna krem dan coklat tua. Yang ini gampang banget. Cuma apply coklat tua di outter V dan lipatan mata. Apply warna krem di kelopak atas. Baurkan. Bubuhkan warna krem tadi di bagian dalam mata bawah. Lalu buat eyeliner dengan gaya gyaru atau puppy eyes. Apply bulu mata palsu.

Pendapatku soal eyeshadow-nya sih lumayan lah. Soal pigmentasi bisa diatur dengan menggunakan eye primer, begitu juga dengan daya tahan. Kalo kamu sentuh esedonya pake jari, rasanya halus dan lembut banget, nggak berbubuk kayak esedo Viva (yaeaaalah, harga juga jauh kale!). Warna-warnanya juga sepertinya diatur sesuai untuk semua warna kulit, ga terlalu muda atau terlalu jreng sekali. Walaupun yang aneh yaaa si merah hatinya, seperti yang aku bilang. Kenapa bukan hijau tua, misalnya. Kan orang Indonesia rata-rata paling seneng make esedo warna kecoklatan atau kehijauan. Dan finishing-nya itu mestinya jangan shimmer semua, ada yang matte-nya juga. Tapi namanya juga produk lama. Aku liat sih esedo Sariayu sekarang udah lebih bervariasi.

Ponten buat esedonya:

8.36 out of 10

LIPSTICKS

To be honest, I've never had any lipstick pallet before.

My bare lips.

***

Ini swatch di bibirku sesuai urutan yang ada di palet. Sedikit catatan ya, semua hasil swatch ini aku poles menggunakan kuas bibir bawaan dari paletnya, gak pake lipliner, ataupun lip conditioner. Tiap pergantian warna, aku bersihkan bibirku dengan Makeup Remover sebersih-bersihnya sampe nggak ada stain lipstick yang tersisa. Hal yang sama aku lakukan dengan kuas lipstiknya. Jadi hasilnya murni warna lipstik aslinya di bibirku. Nggak tau hasilnya seperti apa di bibirmu :)
