Product Opinion:

This is a good Concealer, for my skin I use the colour Fair. I already used up the whole tube and yes I'm going to repurchase it. This concealer have a good coverage, it blends easily and it turns out very well too. I've tried this concealer to cover up dark circle, dark spots also blemishes and it done a really good job for all of it. The only down side of this product is you don't get a lot of product from it and do not over twist the tube because a lot of product will come out, you don't want to waste that for sure.

Here are some tips from the Make-up Aritst:

To really get the most from your concealer try applying it after your foundation and before your powder. Why? The foundation gives the concealer something to cling to and following with powder really sets the look. It’s a real trick of the trade - try it yourself!

This seasons' high beam base demands a refined yet perfectly natural look. Use Mastertouch Concealer with Colour Adapt foundation and get the look fast!

Herb Day Cotton by Faceshop

Today's review is about a cleansing wipes from a Korean brand call the Face Shop. I'm sure there is several days in week or months that we feel very lazy to take off our make up, because it needs several steps to remove your make up. There's a lot of cosmetic company that produce a cleansing wipes and when I saw this product for the first time I'm really not sure that a cleansing wipes can remove well, all of my make up. So, I never bother to purchase this kind of product. Until one day, I really need something that can remove my make up in instant and I remember the cleansing wipes. So, I bought it at last.

There are several kinds of cleansing wipes in this store, and the reason I chose the Herb Day Cotton Perfect Cleansing Wipes with Tea Tree. The reason I chose this was because, I have an acne prone and very sensitive skin and this wipes have Tea Tree extract in it which we all know that it can control blemishes. The cloth is also very soft and will not scratch your face at all, also it smells really nice.

Packaging wise, I like the flower design but still look like most of the facial wipes packaging out there. What I like about the packaging is the lid, it shut really tide so that the wipes inside, is still wet. Because I used to have other wipes that I got as a gift, the packaging is a lot better, they make it like a proper plastic box (hard one) but even though it was shut, the next few days when I want to used it, its all dried up. 

The Claims:

Convenient cleansing wipes with new ex foliating mesh cloth deep clean pores and remove excess sebum while removing make up. Tea Tree helps control blemishes as it cleanses and clears pores.

My opinion about this product is, I do really like it. It removes most of my make up, clear up my face and there's no redness appear after I use this wipes on my face, didn't break me up at all. I recommend all of you to try this wipes, because there are times where you will need something Quick and Easy to take off your make up after a whole day of work or school. 

The price of this Wipes in Indonesia is IDR 125.000,- and for those of you who lives outside Indonesia, please check the links below:

Dewy Flower Loose Powder - Face Shop

Today's we're going to talk about powder, and this is a Loose Powder from a Korean brand called The Face Shop. This powder doesn't provides a coverage and it has no range of colours, they just have one colour. But, I do really like this powder and also it is suitable for all skin type. 

The packaging of this powder is really simple, with a white and slight of pinkish colour with the flower details on top. It comes with a powder puff which is a good one and it has a several small holes, so you will get a good amount of powder not to much not to little, because you can always shake it to get more products.

The Claims:

•  A blend of 7 flower extracts: Lotus, Iris, Edelweiss, White Lily, Jasmine, Phrygia, White Rose (Anti-inflammatory, Moisturizing)
• Rich in antioxidants that inhibits harmful free radicals that causes aging.
• Provides sheer coverage.
• Controls sebum for fresh-looking skin throughout the day

I do really like this powder because First, it doesn't break me out. Because this powder only provides a sheer coverage, I put this powder after I put on my foundation. Which make my foundation stay on a lot longer and it gives a nice flawless look instead of looking cakey, because most of the powder will make your face look flakey during the time. 

They way I use this powder is I use the puff that comes with the powder. So, I put the puff right above the holes and shake it lightly to get as much product as you desire. Don't shake the powder too much because the powder will burst out and it will be a total mess. So, after you got enough product on the puff, just gently pat the puff on your face. My suggestion is, after you finish put on your foundation, don't put the powder straight away on your face, let the foundation soaks into your skin for approximately 10 minutes and while you wait you can always do your eye make up first, after that then pat the powder gently onto your skin and you are ready to go and to show off you flawless skin. 

This product is quite affordable for a powder, because it will last you for quite a long time as well, so its worth the money. You can find this in any Face Shop counter or Asian Market. I recommend this powder because it does make your face make up last all night long..

Revlon - Grow Luscious LashLiner

Today's review is going to be about eye liner. I just discover this product few days ago and I'm really excited and amazed with this product. Its a new Revlon eye liner from their Grow Luscious collection. Now, you get the eye liner with an outer packaging and makes it really look well packed. Because usually you just receive the eye liner without any extra outer packaging. Next is about the look of the liners it self, the form of the liner is just like other ordinary pencil for liner. The difference is just from the gradation of the colours, which you can see a colour transition from green to silvery grey, its pretty and quite eye catching.

THE CLAIMS:

Delivers ultra intense colour impact in one stroke. Botanical and vitamin rich formula nourishes and supports healthy lashes.

The liners comes in four different colours which are Black (Onyx), Brown (Espresso), Grey (Graphite) and Green (Emerald). I got all three of the colours except Black, but its not because it was not good, its because I feel like I already have too much Black liners. So, what amazed me is the quality of the liners. Its more like a crayon form not as hard as the usual pencil liner. When I swatch it in the store, the liner just glide on your skin. Just one stroke, you'll get an amazing vibrant colour and the texture is also very smooth and creamy.

SWATCHES

To get a great long lasting look with this liners, is after you apply it on your eyes. Leave it to dry  for about 15-30 seconds, after that your eyes will look pretty all day long without have to worry it will smudge. I've tested this liner on the back on my hand, while I'm in the store. I leave it for 15-30 seconds, and its still there no matter how hard I try to rub it off. I really recommend all of you to try this liners, its incredible.

The price of the liner it self is also very affordable and you can find it almost everywhere, on your local drugstore or the Revlon store near you. Here in Indonesia it cost IDR 70.000,-

Masami Shouko - Foundation Brush

Putting foundation, is what almost every girls do and every single girls use a different technique to put on their foundation. Today, I'm going to share how I apply my foundation on a daily basis event on a special event I use the same technique. So, I'm going to share with all of you first, My favourite foundation brush of all time. This, is a brush from a company calls "Masami Shouko". Let's start from the appearance from the brush, first off all the colour of the tip of the brush, originally is white but I haven't wash it yet, so excuse that. The colour of the tip actually is white, and the rest of bristle below is black as you can see, appearance wise I don't have any problem. It look just like the other brushes out there, and I've washed this brush twice, and the bristles still stay on their place it didn't came off the brush so that's good. 

As you can see, from the picture on the left that is what the bristles look like up close and don't worry those bristles are really soft and that's how ugly the bristles will look like when you use the brush. Any how, I really like using the brush a lot. I use this brush every time I applies my foundation. So, I put a good amount of foundation on the back of my hand and gently tap the brush on the back of your hand where the foundation was placed, then just swirl the brush gently starting from one side of your cheek, 

dab the brush to the foundation again then swirl it to your forehead and so on until you cover all of your face with the foundation. It is super easy and this brush really gives a smooth look, it really help blends the foundation onto your skin and its also a lot faster than using your hand to apply it. But, don't forget to deep clean your brush once a week with a brush cleaner or with a baby shampoo, to keep it hygienic.

This Brush is affordable, in Indonesia you can find this brush almost everywhere even you can buy it online through facebook which I will link that down below. This brush costs IDR 108.000,- and I really recommend it for all of you to try this brush.

Eye Color Duo - Anna Sui

                                      

Today's Review is about Anna Sui, Who doesn't know this brand. This brand is well known for their super gorgeous packaging. So, for packaging wise I really don't have anything else to say it is amazingly gorgeous. This is a Duo eye shadow color, and they have it in seven different colors. I just discover this product today, because I'm really excited about it, I can't wait to share it with all of you straight away. 

THE CLAIMS:

• Maximize the Kaleidoscopic Illusion concept with these 7 shades! Blend both colors in each compact to create a magical gradation of layered shades. 1+1 = 3 with the Eye Color Duo! Use each shade alone, or blend together to create an iridescent glowing new shade.

The reason why I'm really amazed and excited about this product is because its very unique, different than other eye shadows I've ever tried. Because the claims is true, when you blend the two colors together it creates a really amazing gradation, feels like a make up magic. 

Like the pink and black, when you combine those two colors together you will get an iridescent pretty glowy color, its really amazing. It is a Must Try item !! very unique, different and highly recommended. It also stay on the lid perfectly and doesn't smudge, for sure the quality is also very good. 

The Price of this eye shadow is more pricey, cause it count as an high end cosmetic brand. In Indonesia, it costs IDR 370.000,-. For me personally, its pricey but worth it.

BORN LIPPY - Body Shop

Did you have a problem finding a perfect lip balm that will make your lips super smooth?? Body Shop just came out with their new lip product and its the Born Lippy lip balm. Lets start as usual from the packaging. The packaging of this lip balm is very cute, The design of the stick will make you really tempted to buy this lip balm. Because the first thing that attract me to this product is the packaging, I thought this will just be an ordinary lip balm. But, wait until you smell this thing, its smells really really good. So, overall the packaging are awesome.

The Claims

Our cult lip balm in a stick format. Gives lips a pop of colour, a shot of moisture and a soft shine.

• Plum tint, Light Pink tint, Caramel tint, Transparent Shimmer.
• Subtle shine.
• Fruity Plum flavour, Fruity Berry flavour, Sweet Toffee flavour, Fruity Lychee flavour.

Opinions

This Lip Balms comes in 4 different flavours and colours, which are Plum, Pink Berry, Toffee, and Lychee. My favourite out of those 4 are the Plum, Pink Berry and Lychee those three have the best flavour and colours except the Lychee one, cause it came out clear. But, when you apply the lip balm to your lip, you can really feel the moist on your lip and the colours that you will get from the Plum and Pink Berry is really natural looking and really freshen up your look, it is quiet similar to the Revlon Lip Butter, but the Body Shop one don't have too much colours selection. But personally for me, I prefer the Body Shop one cause it gave almost the same effect and the best part is the smell, it is so amazing. Feels like you want to eat it.

Now, for the Price. it is not pricey at all, very affordable. For those of you who lives in Indonesia it costs IDR 69.000,- and you can find it in every Body Shop it just came out, so hurry and have your own Born Lippy Balm to make your lip feel smoother than ever.

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara

Today, I'm going to be reviewing about A Mascara fro, Revlon. I know this product is already out long ago but some people still on a hunt for a natural looking mascara which can also stay on for hours. So, this is the answer for it The Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara. As usual, the packaging of this mascara is kind of different with the other Revlon mascara, because its Green. But other than that everything is almost the same as all other mascara, and the brush of this mascara is also pretty standard. 

The Claims:

-Lash enhancing formula complements the natural growth cycle of your lashes, improving their overall appearance and conditioning with each use 
-Get lashes that look instantly longer and lusher and will also grow stronger day after day
-Oversized lash-extending brush
-Ophthalmologist tested

Opinion about the Product:

The one thing that is driven my attention to this mascara was because it said that it have a formula which will make your lashes grow and improving your lashes appearance every time you use it. I do really like this product is because it gives a really natural looking lash after you apply it and it doesn't smudge on me, even though I wear it all day long for at least 10 to 12 hours. About the lash formula that will make your lashes grow longer, I cant really assure you or guarantee because I don't know if it really works. But overall this mascara did a good job on my lashes, because I got question on what mascara I used every time I use the Grow Luscious mascara by Revlon.

A side from the function factor of mascara, the price of this mascara is really affordable. For those of you who lives in Indonesia you can get it for only IDR 70.000,- and you can find it almost everywhere.

This foundation from Bourjois is a light foundation which it give you enough coverage. It doesn't look like you're wearing a mask, after you put it on.

STORM - SLEEK

Another Eye Shadow review and this one is a brand from the UK. This palette contains 12 different colors from neutral to darker colors, with the combination of shimmer and matte eye shadow colors. Lets start with the packaging, the packaging its just a simple one, its a hard case palette. There's nothing bad about the packaging, its sturdy its black and classy. In this palette also comes with the dual sponge applicator. This brand carries on six different eye palettes, and the one i'm reviewing is called the STORM palette. I notice this brand from one of the UK magazine and many people also said that its a good product.

The Storm Palette Colors:

DOWN (DARK)  TOP  (NEUTRAL)

The Claims:

The Storm i-Divine palette comprises of 12 strong and rich shades perfect for accentuating the eyes and creating natural looks. 

The velvet-touch consistency gives full and shimmering coverage to the eye lid for maximum effect. Each shade can be applied alone for a dramatic effect or mixed to create a personalised look. 

Best applied with the applicator enclosed.

We've recently given our i-Divines a makeover! The outer packaging has been updated and the way the eye shadows are pressed are different. They are now pressed flat instead of the original waffle print.

My Opinion About the Product:

When this palette arrived, i cant wait to use it cause i think it will turns out great and i'm right. This eye shadow does what it claimed. The colors are very vivid and pigmented, In this palette you can create the most amazing shimmering eyes ever !! Because it really give you the shimmery effect without making you look ridiculously glittery. Most of the colors in the palette are shimmery just three of them which are matte colors. This palette also provides you the colors to create neutral to dramatic look depends on how you like it. 

Swatches:

Top Colors (Dark) Down Colors (Neutral)

As you can see the swatches on the picture, the colors below are the more neutral, soft colors but shimmery and the colors on top of it are the more divine and vivid colors for more dramatic looks. You can see how pigmented and gorgeous the colors are. (the colors swatches are in the same direction as the colors in the palettes)

How i like to use it this palette on a daily look are, First, I apply the soft gold color (Neutral, 2 from left) all over the lid using an eye shadow brush. Second, I apply the dark shimmery brown color (Dark, 1 from left) on the outer corner to the crease making a 'V' shape with a small dome brush and last but not least i used the matte soft brown color (Neutral, 3 from left) to soften up the colors using the Tapered Blending Brush. The very last thing is highlighting my brow bone just using my ring finger with the lightest color from the palette.

For, night time look i usually go for a more dramatic look and i used the same techniques just different colors selection. This is a Must Try item for those of you who like shimmers, cause it really gives you the real shimmer. 

You cant find this product in any department store in Asian particularly in Indonesia. So, i get this palette via FACEBOOK, the user name is MakeUpBrush. She sells a REAL deal !! All products she sells is 100% REAL and very good service as well. So, for those of you who wants any make up which is not sell anywhere near you go to MakeUpBrush on Facebook (I will give the link down below), she sells lots of brand such as; Benefit, Coastal Scents, Sugar Pill, NYX, Sleek, Sigma, and more.

BRUSHES !!

There are a lot of different type of brushes to do your make up, there is one for blending, one to apply the eye shadow, one to apply concealer and foundation and much more. So, this time i will let you know based on my opinion the 4 basic brushes you will need to apply your eye make up. The Brushes i will show you today are featuring three different Brands, two of the brands you can easily find it. The Brand i'm featuring are Masami Shouko, Armando Caruso and Urban Decay. Lets start with the brushes.

1. First Brush is a shadow brush from Urban Decay, i always use this brush to apply my eye shadow all over my eye lid. the bristles on this brush is really tight and soft. which makes it very easy to control. when i use this brush, i use a patting motion to apply the eye shadow, so that it really sits on your lid. this brush is more pricey though, but you can always find another brush that is cheaper and have a good quality as well,  cause now there is a lot of brand who sell brushes with a more affordable price. 

2. Second Brush is a small dome brush from Masami Shouko. I like to use this brush to put a darker eye shadow tone on the outer corner of my eyes to divine my eyes. I use it by creating a C shape on the outer corner, to create a more dramatic look on it by deepen the color on the crease. This brush is the perfect one, if you really want a perfect shape on your outer corner, cause you will have more control on it and also you can create any shaped you want.

3. Angled Shadow brush, from Armando Caruso, this is a 2 in 1 brush. Because you can use it for your eyeliner or eyebrows. But i use this one as my eyeliner brush. When sometimes i don't want a very black eyeliner look, i always switch by using a black eye shadow instead and i apply it with this brush, This brush is a very precise brush. It makes it so easy to apply my eye shadow as an eyeliner, very easy to work with and the bristles also didn't felt like its poking your eyes. you can also use this brush with a gel liner.

4. Last but not least is my favorite brush from all, its the Tapered Blending Brush from Masami Shouko, This is a fluffy with a long bristles brush with a tapered tip. This brush ideally, shaped to apply, contour, highlight and blend colors on the crease of the eye. I personally use this brush more to blend colors on the crease, i love blending colors with this brush, cause its really do really makes the color blends well and give your eye make up a really soft touch. 

So, the step you need to follow are. First Apply your eye shadow using the Shadow Brush (NUMBER 1), then create a shape on your outer corner and darken your crease with a Small Dome Brush (NUMBER 2), after that use a neutral color such as beige, or any skin tone color to neutralize the color to create a softer look, or to soften the dark eye shadow so it didn't look harsh, with a Tapered Blending Brush (NUMBER 4), then last but not least apply your eyeliner (eye shadow for or gel liner) with a Angled Shadow Brush (NUMBER 5). Then you'll have the look that you desire.

SUPER FAT EYE MARKER - NYX

Eyeliner, is the one thing that will create you a very different look. But, its a very tricky one to use, to make a real gorgeous sexy look, you need lots of control with it. Lets start, Packaging. Nothing really special with it but this is a bigger eyeliner size than the usual one. It literally look like a board marker, but nothing i could complain about the packaging. 

COLOR : Carbon Black

CLAIMS :

Here’s a real magic marker: The extra wide felt tip eye liner is perfect for creating a dramatic cat-eye look. The eye marker application is smooth and the striking results are long-lasting and smudge-proof.

My Opinion  about the product :

I used to have a hard time using eyeliner, i never got it right. using eyeliner is like drawing on your eyes, and you have to be really precise to achieve a great look, cause if you don't you will look totally ridiculous. The way you draw your eyeliner on your eyes, really make a huge difference. I can never skip the eyeliner part. I used to have a hard time and kind of feel lazy to do it, cause if you messed up, you have to start all over again. But, practice make perfect. Now i have more control with eyeliner, thanks to the Super FAT marker. 

I know some people can got more control with a skinnier eyeliner, but i personally feel more comfortable and have more control with a bigger eyeliner like this one. So, for sure i really like the control i got from this liner. But, the color that it gave is not black enough for me, so every time after i apply the liner on my lid i always re-applied it with another liquid liner which is blacker, so the the line i apply with the super FAT liner was a guideline for me to applied another liner so it will be more precise and vibrant for sure. But yes as the claims said it is long lasting, cause if i wear a smokey look i just used this liner by it self, and it doesn't smudge.

SWATCHES

After all, i just have problem with the blackness, which is not black enough. As you can see from the swatches on the left, it  is not vibrant at all, in fact i swatch that back and forth for several times, but i like it because again the control that it gave to me. Also, the tip of the 'Marker' is a little bit flabby after you use it for several time. But, for those of you who is getting a hard time using a liner, try the Super Fat Marker by NYX maybe you will be better with eyeliner. This Super Fat Marker cost IDR 100.000,- in the USA it cost $10.00.

NYX GLITTER POLISH !!

Quick Review about the NYX nail polish, i discover this product about a week ago. This are the Glitter nail polish by NYX. I'm actually on a hunt for glittery nail polishes, then i found this. So, i give it a try. The packaging of the product is the same as the other nail polishes, but i like the design of the bottle. The square and the details on it just make it look so classy, plus the glitters inside it is very pretty. The applicator is also very easy to use, its quite wide when you press the applicator against your nail, which make it slide on perfectly.

The 2 colors i owned : (From Left) Creme Glitter & Disco Inferno.

I cant find the claim about this product from their website, they just have the matte one in their page.

Then my personal opinion about this product is, I really like this glitter nail polish. I like it best when you top it off with a matte base color (which NYX also provides). The first time i used it, i used a matte brownish pink color then top it of with 'Disco Inferno' from NYX, i don't have the picture, but trust me it look so so good. also with a dark blue as a base, it makes your nails look fabulous. But, you have to use two coat to get a good amount of glitters, but if you don't like too much sparkles then one coat is enough. The price of this nail polish is very affordable, it cost IDR 70.000,-. for those of you who lives outside Indonesia i don't know the price for sure but the matte polish cost around $4.00. 

So, if you're in a hunt for polish that will make your nails sparkling glamorously then try this NYX Glitter Polish. then share your thoughts in the comments below.
