URBAN DECAY - ORIGINAL NAKED !!


This is the Most talk about Item of all time the "URBAN DECAY NAKED PALETTE". I know the Naked 2 is the most talk right now, but i just want to share with all of you about the first original palette. Anyway, when this product was launched, it was sold out everywhere and so hard to find this product. But, the good thing is they still produce this first original Palette, so for you who's looking for this palette, no worries, you still can put your hands on it. Let's start with the review, starting from Packaging. The look of this packaging is very classy and simple. But, when you touch it, the top and bottom of the palette was made out of some kind of a suede material.This suede material, get dirty very easily, and when you close the palette it just snap (Magnetic). I don't have anymore problem with the packaging, its just the material cause it make my palette look duller day by day.

The Name of the Colors : (From Left) 
Virgin, Sin, Naked, Sidecar, Buck, Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted, Hustle, Creep, Gunmetal.

My Favorite colors from the palette : Buck, Sidecar & Half Baked.



THE CLAIMS :

Everybody wants to look good NAKED! Far from a group of boring beige shadows, Naked Palette's long, lean, seductive case is packed with TWELVE gorgeous neutrals, including FIVE NEW shades, and includes our pro-quality Good Karma Shadow Brush.


MY OPINION ABOUT THE PRODUCT :

This Palette is a very good deal, it was packed really nicely, you got 12 gorgeous neutrals then free eye shadow brush and the mini version of the Urban Decay Primer Potion. Actually I leaned my eyes on this palette for a very long long time. Until one day, i got it as a present and i just feel very happy, i cant even explain how happy i am when i got it, just speechless. Then i tried it straight away and i just Blown away by the quality of this shadow, its amazingly pigmented so buttery, easy to work with and the colors are just breathtaking. This Palette contains 12 different colors with a combination between the shimmer and matte shades. With this palette you create a lot of different looks, from a neutral everyday look, bronzy look and even a night time smokey look. Then the brush from this palette is also a good quality brush with a very soft tip.

SWATCHES:

Here are the swatches of the colors from the palette as you can see the colors are amazing, especially if you see it on real. Cause its not so clear on the pictures. This my friends is a Must try product, if you got this palette, you will forget about your other eye shadows. This is the best quality eye shadow i have ever try. Thumbs up for the Naked Palette and i'm looking forward for the Naked 2, i'm still on a hunt for the Naked 2 because i have to buy it outside Indonesia. The price for the palette in the US $50. (Not available in Indonesia, You can find it the closest is in Singapore)

L'OREAL TRUE MATCH MINERALS

Most of women can't go out of the house without puffing some powder on their face. So, I present to all of you the greatest powder of all time, the L'OREAL TRUE MATCH MINERALS. Start from the packaging, as you can see it has brush and on the very bottom is the powder. After all look of this product, is simple nothing really special. The brush that it provides is really nice to use, it make the powder blend in well on your skin. But, its not very soft, just wish they make a softer brush for it and everything will be Perfect. 

The Color I used now : Golden Beige. 
The Color I used back then, which i love to death : Honey Glow.

THE CLAIMS :
  • Mineral make-up foundation-like coverage
  • Evens skin tone like a foundation 
  • Light as a powder
  • Long Lasting
My Opinion About The Product :

This is my third bottle, so i think you should know how i think about this product, Absolutely Adore it !! I've used this product since two years ago, one bottle of this product last for quite a while. I never change my powder this is my champion. It does what it says, the powder cover up your face like a foundation, but it is still light, doesn't clog your pores. 

As you can see from the picture on the left, its a loose powder. Most of the loose powder i know, don't have a good coverage, its just an Okay coverage. But this, it evens out your skin very well. As much as i love this product, it still have a down side. I used this product everyday since morning until quite late, and it does make your skin look cakey during the day, so you need to even it out. What i like to do is pat my face with a tissue or blotting paper and after that put some powder on. But, most of the time i just pat my face with a blotting paper and it looks okay. The most important thing is it didn't break my skin. Always remember to clean your make up cleanly, because if you don't, you will ruin your face. For prices, this powder i'm not sure so check on your local drug store or simply on their website http://www.loreal.com/_en/_ww/index.aspx?

MAYBELLINE CRAYON LINER


I am really excited about this product, i bought it just about a week ago and i spotted this product randomly. So, this is just simply a crayon liner in a pencil form which you have to sharpen it and be sure to own a good quality sharpener for a better result. About the packaging, nothing really special, just a usual pencil with cap on it. Got no problem with that. Moving on .... 

THE COLORS I OWNED : Black & Brown (That's all they have)
Claims :
  • For bigger and bolder eye loo
  • Soft and smooth glide on skin
  • Wears all day
My opinion about the product:
The first time i swatch this product at the store, the first thought in my mind was ' I need to buy this stuff '. Because it glide smoothly and a little bit creamy, i know straight away that this will be good. Then, I tried put it on my eyes, it worked really well. Compared to the 'High End' liner this Maybelline liner work just as well as the 'High End' one. For me, every time you want to wear a pencil liner be sure to top it of with a black eye shadow, so it won smudge below your eyes. Even, when i used the high end one, sometimes it still smudge and get all over my under eyes. So, just to be safe remember to use a primer and top of with a black eye shadow. I really agree with what the claims, it does it jobs really well.

SWATCHES:
Here are the swatches from those amazing liner, as you can see its really pigmented. The other reason is because the price is very affordable, it costs IDR 18.600,- for those of you who live in Indonesia. For those of you who live outside Indonesia, you can always check it out in http://www.maybelline.com/ for prices and other details. Try it out, its totally worth it. Especially for those of you who want to try out or in a hunt for a good liner. This is the ONE !!

Yves Rocher Pastel Cream Shadow


Today's Product, its from Yves Rocher which is a French Brand. The product we're going to review is Pastel Cream Shadow. Let's start with the packaging, the packaging is really good, i really like it. It looks like a lip gloss packaging, and the wand also looks like a lip gloss wand which is quite easy to apply. But, there's still one of the packaging among all which i owned (i owned 4 of the colors) was broke but the others is still really sturdy, no problem at all. Maybe its just lack of Quality Control. But Never Mind. 


MY TOP 4 FAVORITES COLOR : (From Left) Mercure, Souffle Blanc, Aurore Doree, Cuivre. 


What did the Brand said about the product?? 
(yvesrocher.com)

Long-lasting sheen of pastel pearls 
An adjustable cream shadow texture, which applies evenly to the eyelid and is easily worked with fingertips or with the foam tip.
Pearly pastel and luminous colours. Ultra-long guaranteed 8-hour hold without running. A double effect: a halo of light or a highly pearlised pastel effect, can be adjusted to suit your mood.

Pastel Cream Eyeshadow contains all the natural benefits of Soya extract
The Plus : The very soft, chisel shaped foam applicator for easy application 

My Opinion about this product :

At first, i was interested at this product simply just because of the packaging. Plus when i asked the shopkeeper there it is an cream shadow, and i never tried one before so this is the first cream shadow i have used. The first color i owned is Aurore Doree, when i tried it, not much to say, since that day i want more and more colors, i want every single colors from this product. I agree with what the Brand said about its product, its very easy to apply and to work with. Also it blends very well and smooth, it also makes the color of your powder shadow more pop if you add on top of it. But about the guaranteed 8 hours hold, i don't know. Maybe for those of you who don't have oily lid yes it will stay on much longer, but i have oily eye lid, so i still put on a base eye primer and top it of with eye shadow. The shimmer in this cream shadow is very light, you can see the shimmer but not a heavy shimmer which can make you look all glittery. You can wear this all by it self or you can add some eye shadow to make it look more stylish and beautiful.

SWATCHES :
Here are the swatches of the product, you can see it is really pigmented, and the consistency is so creamy which make it really easy to work with. The reason why i do a review about this product is because people don't really know about this brand. So now i introduce to all of you a really good quality of cream shadow. Its really worth trying, you wont waste your money for nothing. You will love this !! 



This product cost IDR 180.000,- for you who lived in Indonesia and For those of you who live outside Indonesia, i don't really know for sure but you can check it out about the price and the product for more details on www.yvesrocher.com.

NYX JUMBO EYE PENCIL


This product from NYX have been going around for sooo long, i know. But  i just want to share it with all of you guys, share about my opinion about this product, the good and bad about this Jumbo Eye Pencil. Let's start from the Packaging, everything is already good about this Jumbo Eye Pencil but the bad thing about this packaging is the "Cap" which is so fragile, i've cracked three of my Jumbo Eye Pencil's cap, i wish the make the Cap with more better quality. That's all about the packaging, 

Let's move on to what did the Brand said about its product? - (nyxcosmetic.com)

A radiant eye liner that also doubles as an eye shadow. Made with a blend of mineral oil and powder, our creamy Jumbo Eye Pencils glide on effortlessly—no pulling, tugging or fading—and come in a rainbow of vivid hues. Some call her chubby. We say voluptuous. Available in 28 shades. 

MY TOP 6 COLOR : Pots & Pans, Milk, Iced Mocha, Lime, Strawberry Milk, Gold. 















What's my opinion about NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil :
I do like this product quite much, the color range is fabulous, the pigmentation is really great and striking. For me, this product is more like a cream shadow in a stick form. The product is really easy to apply, but remember this product do smudge !! So, always always apply it with a primer and top it of with a powder shadow. Earlier today i used this product, i used eye primer then apply the jumbo pencil then i apply another cream shadow without using anymore powder shadow. I thought it will be fine until the end of my day, but i was wrong it smudge and crease still even i already used a primer. I know its too much cream product which make the primer doesn't really worked, i learned my lesson and hope you guys wont do the same thing again, remember to put on a powder shadow if you use a double cream shadows. Also the Jumbo Eye Pencil helps to contrast your powder eye shadow, which make the color more beautiful than ever, this is why i love this product.

The conclusion - This is a MUST HAVE  and MUST TRY product. There's lots of color to choose from and if you use this shadow as a base before your powder shadow, you will have the most amazing color on your eyes. Just always remember to apply an eye primer before it, so it wont smudge. Good Luck trying !!  

The price of the product - If you're in the US you can have it for USD 4.50, and for those of you who's in Indonesia  it cost IDR 80.000,-

L'OREAL Youth Code - Pre Essence Review


Let's start talking from the packaging of the product, the packaging is very classy and high end. it made out of some kind of thick glass. What i like about it is the wand (see picture below) because you can really have a precise amount of the product, one drop at the time, so packaging is very good overall. 

L'OREAL YOUTH CODE WAND
What the ADVERTISING said :
SUPERCHARGED
GIVE YOUR DAY CREAM A HYDRATING BOOST WITH YOUTH CODE SERUM
YOUTHFULNESS, SKIN THAT LOOK YOUNGER, SMOOTHER & BRIGHTER

Advanced Pro-Gen™ Technology boosts the skin’s recovery power, restoring skin’s youth. The light texture penetrates deep into the skin to dramatically improve skin quality and amplify the effect of any skincare used on top. Youth Code is suitable for all skin types and any age.

In 1 drop: More Radiant
In 1 week: More Refined
In 1 month: Rejuvenated Ski
n

My thought after using L'oreal Youth Code Pre-Essence :

Since the first time i apply this product on my skin i fall in love with it straight away, it literally melt on your skin and absorb very fast without leaving any greasy feeling after applying. After one week after using this product i feel my skin really moist and smooth. Some say that this product is to against wrinkle and aging, yes this product can help reduce wrinkle for those who already got it. But, for all of you who already in the age of twenties, we should already start Prevent wrinkles, this is the reason why i start use this serum to, because it is better to prevent it first rather than try to clear up after it shows up. Last but not least is the scent, this product have a really good scent, the smell is really soothing like some kind of a floral scent. So, the product does what it said, it is a very good product and must  try !!

This product is worth trying compare to the other high end serum, this product costs IDR 250.000,- (you can get it around IDR 200.000,- when there's discount at some drugstore).

KONY 2012


Today, I'm going to share about JOSEPH KONY (KONY 2012).

I know it’s not make up related, but I’m really moved and touched after watching this video yesterday. I started to ask my friends, did they know about KONY 2012?? My first thought is they knew about it, because it’s all over internet, but I got the opposite answer, they don't know about it at all. This is why I begin wrote about KONY, I want to spread the words to all the people, to stop his act, his cruel act among children in Uganda.

Let me explain it briefly, about KONY, what is it about?

So KONY 2012 is a campaign to STOP the most wanted criminal in the world JOSEPH KONY. This man abducted children from their family in Uganda, he made the girls as sex slave and the boys as a children soldier, and he also forced them to kill their own parents. All of the kids live in FEAR, fear to be Killed, Which kids suppose to live a happy childhood not to be haunted by fear. Those kids don't get any education and even a home.

 No one knew about this at all, until this community "The Invisible Children" appear, and spread this news all over the world. We can stop this guy by making him famous, because not much of people aware about him, which make him invisible. That's why we have to make him visible, by making him FAMOUS.  (More info about  KONY in the video) 

So, Why not help them? We will change the course of human history. Together we will stop this most wanted Criminal. Together we will make a change. Together  we will help all those children for a brighter future, to bring back their hope.

Spare your time just 29.59 minutes, to make a change.

Hello, Welcome to Make Up Division.

In this first post, i will just talk about what will i post in this blog and a little about how i got so crazy about make up. First thing first, For sure i will be sharing to all of you about make up, and i will be reviewing products that i have used, something like a hits and misses, which product did i like and which i don't. At first, i'm not such a big fan of make up. The main factor that make me crazy about the beauty world is "Youtube" i start watching beauty tutorials on Youtube and i can't stop until now. From that moment i really drawn into learning more and more about make up and most importantly how to use the make up THE RIGHT WAY, like which color to apply as your highlight color, which for the lid and so on. Also here i will be letting you know which product have a good and not so good quality, so you don't spend your money for nothing.

I'm not a pro or anything in this Beauty World, i'm still in a learning process but i hope that what i share to all of you can be useful. Hope you enjoy my blog. 

I will start posting a blog about products review on monday, so stay tune !! 

Lots and Lots of Love,
Angie
