[ REVIEW ] MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Dream Bouncy Blush in Candy Coral (#30)

Hey guys, udah lama kan gak nge-review? Hahaha... Kayaknya sih lama..
So, my review today is about MAYBELLINE's blush on that I just bought one week ago.. I don't know if it still exists out there, but in Indonesia, yes..

 

 Warna-warna yang dijual di Indonesia sih gak sebanyak ini. I bought mine in SOGO and they only sell, like 4 or 5 colors. And anyhow, nowadays I'm looking for orange + pink color, or maybe just orange, because pink doesn't suit me at all. Aku berniat mau beli ini lama banget, cuma baru bisa kebeli minggu lalu.

Selama ini, if I want to wear a blush on, well... just do it with my lipstick. My lipsticks are quite bright.（●＾o＾●）

 

I don't know why it appears to be more pink than orange in the photo, but when I did put some of it on my hand, it really was ORANGE, and the word written behind is Candy Coral too, but whatever... ヽ（´ー｀）┌

Okay, so.... I just love it! From the outside, it looks simple, and to tell you too, the creamy one is more expensive than the powder one, but everything is the same, just the texture.

And honestly, I love blush on that doesn't need any brush to apply. Well, sometimes I don't have time to do it, and don't need to do so much if am just going to class. People in my college don't really pay attention with heavy make up, except some lecturers, ヽ（´ー｀）┌ well yeah, they do so much make-up.

Or, people? Which one do you think takes less time? The creamy one or the powder one?

It's so soft! (✿◠‿◠) And just a light touch on it with your finger, it's already there. Even softer than a cake!! Hahaha. I really love it! But other people may find it a bit troublesome too, since it will takes some more time to rub it on your cheeks and blend it together so it will be balance.

So, the texture is like this....

It's really soft!

Apply it on my hand..

And blend it...

I'm not so into blush on yet, so sometimes I don't put too much of it on my cheeks. Since my skin has somehow turns a bit dark than before, so I don't want the blush to stand out  （￣ー￣）especially if I'm just going to class. It will be awkward. Everyone doesn't really put on make-up, but I do, hahaha. So, yeah... normally I don't need it.

The diameter is about 3 - 4cm.

Wait! I haven't apply it yet!

Actually I put some on my face..

I put some on my cheek, but it wasn't visible enough, and again I put again, but still not. （￣□￣；）
When I have a great picture of it, I'll share it in future.

Such a short review huh? With less word to say? Hahaha

So, to conclude this.. I really love this, or maybe any brand that has creamy blush on, I will try.
Honestly, I was planning to buy ETUDE HOUSE's cookie blusher, but since I don't have the brush, and the color I want is so rare, not every online shop has it, so END  （￣ー￣）
It's so light and easy to carry, but, is it possible to melt? If the temperature is too high （￣□￣；） , like example you  accidentally leave it in a car, at noon, and and and... you know it. Is it possible? Let me know in the comment below, but I won't do it anyway, hahaha.
I wish Indonesian SOGO or guardian, or even the official counter here, will provide more colors. People are just curious with what they have.
Personally, I wish that the sales girl is willing to recommend me the suitable color, I mean, not everyone knows about it though. As a person who works there all day long, I think they know better.

PROS:

1. Cheap (approximately $7 - $8 = Rp70.000 - Rp85.000

2. Easy to carry

3. The texture is so soft

4. Many colors are provided

5. Simple packaging

CONS:
1. The texture is too soft that you can dig in easily like an ice cream! Like, accidentally hit by your finger nail, then you will cry, hahaha. The word Bouncy, really means it.

2. No ingredients stated + no box

3. Hard to blend, and you have to put so much to make it visible

DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
No, I'll try the powder one. This is just like an introduction of blush on to me.


RATE: 4.5/5

[ SHARE ] Travelling to Penang, Malaysia on Saturday!

It's not exactly a [ SHARE ] or even a [ REVIEW ], so whatever you call..
I'm going to travel to my second hometown, Malaysia on Saturday November 1st ! Yay!! After a year, it feels like a dream, and some more I'm going there as a tourist and not a student anymore!
Alright! I'm going to post the review after I got back!
Cut the crap!


I used to bring some skin treatments whenever I travel, such as mask or something else to keep my skin healthy, because wherever you are traveling, your skin is being exposed to sunlight more often, and that's quite bad, especially if you are going out during the day (11am - 3pm). SUMMER.... in Indonesia or Malaysia never end~ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


So, I'm taking some treatments stuff from my storage box, and this is what I come out with!

(clockwise) Silk Scarf Double Care Hair Mask by ETUDE HOUSE, "I Need You, Aloe!" Mask Sheet by ETUDE HOUSE, Biore Cleansing Strips Pore Pack, and Milk Calcium Nail Pack by The Face Shop

 

It's my first time buying this, and actually it says that this thing is for colored-head or those who just got perm or whatever. My hair is naturally black, and I've never done anything to it, including dying it.. No no.. I just don't want to do that..

Anyway, it's just a normal weekly or monthly hair treatment.. You don't have to do it once a week.

Whoops! Catch something... It contains Paraben on the essence hair-cap's ingredients, which, really surprise me... But whatever, I just think it's only a kind of shower cap, so no big deal.

Anyway, I'm planning to do this treatment in the morning after I go to shower...

Look at what Martina's, from eatyourkimchi.com did about this hair treatment!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuUA1Us3KhE&list=UUtKpbKXvPKCIplRvJsYEPLg

Next is.... the alphabet mask, which I really love!

A for 'ALOE'. And it's for Soothing Relief.

 I did say it on my review previously that I really love their alphabet mask, and it's just amazing! We know what ingredients inside and what's best and suitable for our face, it's great!

So, I bought this in Malaysia a year ago (you can see on the sticker. Imported! LOL) and I wish they are ON SALE when I get there!!  ＼(^o^)／

I also did tell you all that first thing I look when I wanna buy a mask sheet, is the function. This mask is "known for its multi-function of quenching thirsting skin, soothing irritated areas and instantly cooling heated skin"

I already know that I'll be going out and exposed to sunlight a lot! And so that's why I choose this mask.


Next is... the pore pack that I used to put once or twice a week to pick up my white heads.

It's Batik edition! All Indonesian probably knows it!
I use this twice a week or sometimes once and it works! Always!
The white heads always grow on our nose and we can't stop it, and sometimes it makes the BB cream become a bit uneven, since the surface is not smooth.

But hey! Look at what I've underlined

Oh no, another Paraben...

 A a... I will think again when I wanna buy it later....

Alright, last thing is.... something I rarely do, it's not really a-must, because I got a hand cream. It's a.... finger mask? Hahaha

 

They don't have any English explanation, which I find it irritating, especially I bought this straight away from the store in Indonesia! Well, usually for ETUDE HOUSE, they do paste it at the back but I always take it off because there is already an English explanation, hahaha..

What I know, this moisturizes your nail. That's it. Hahaha （　＾∀＾）

Oh right, the only Indonesian words here, it's sticker though! I translate this with Google, hahaha

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function: Treatments concentrate on the finger nails and cuticles, contains calcium which strengthen nails.

(Perawatan berkonsentrasi pada kuku dan kutikula jari tangan, mengandung kalsium yang menguatkan kuku.)

Direction: Apply to the right and left fingernails that has been cleaned, massage gently for 10-15 minutes.

(Aplikasikan pada kuku jari tangan kanan dan kiri yang telah dibersihkan, pijat lembut selama 10 - 15 menit)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Alright~!! That's what I must bring whenever I go to travel!

Anyway, Martina also make her video about her make-up travel kit for the airplane, which is... suitable for you if you travel from east to west or vice versa, like more than 5 hours or whatever... Or maybe less.. Sometimes, you want to look fresh or at least the same after you show up, so, I think it's a good thing for you

[ SHARE ] My Little 'Obstacle'

Salah satu kendalaku saat ini, yaitu... Selalu ketinggalan! Ketinggalan apa?
Well, I'm always late to buy seasonal product on time! (×̯×) Especially ETUDE HOUSE, which always have around, 2 - 3 seasonal products in ONE year.

Even though I'm really a fan of it, buying some of their (sometimes not necessary) products is so troublesome! Some of them can stay in my storage box for a long time, and when I want to use it, another product comes out, and I need more than 2 months to finish the currents products! And everything will going round and round like as a yearly cycle. The worst one is the expire date! That's killing me...softly....

Example?
Like this......

WONDER PORE Collection

AC Clinic Daily

Sweet Recipe Collection

Princess Etoinette Collection

LOCK 'N SUMMER Collection

PRINCESS HAPPY ENDING Collection

XOXO Minnie Collection

These, are just a part of everything.I don't have anything yet from Wonder Pore, Princess Etoinette, and Princess Happy Ending, but that doesn't mean I have everything from lines I didn't mention ▻_◅
Now, I have AC Clinic Daily Hinoki Water Mist, AC Clinic Daily Pink Powder Spot, Sweet Recipe All Over Color RD301, LOCK 'N SUMMER Precious Mineral Proof Any Cushion. THAT'S IT! ๏̯͡๏

From non-seasonal product? BB Cream? Yes.... Lip tint? Yes..... Lipstick? Yes...... Mask Sheet? Yes...... Nail polish? Yes......
Non-seasonal product mean they are always there, always continue producing because it's just too cute and USEFUL! And they know we're always going to buy it because it's 100% necessary!

I know some girls are just too rich, hahaha kidding, it's just that they are sooooo into ETUDE HOUSE, so they don't want to leave out anything behind. This one is a must-buy, must-buy, must-buy, everything! Must-buy. I know it's cute but......... do you really finish every single product? ๏̯͡๏

Now, I'm craving for PRINCESS HAPPY ENDING's lipstick, LOCK 'N SUMMER cushion liner, clay mask by Wonder Pore, and XOXO MInnie's highlighter and blusher, but wait? Is there any money in my wallet?
LOL

So girls, I'm really sorry if I can't review seasonal product on time. Have to deal with money I have and also every single thing I have (mask, lipstick, powder, etc) in the storage box.


Let's share about your experiences, buying ETUDE HOUSE product. I do really want to know!
Do you have any recommendation, like which product you always buy OR do you buy everything without leaving out anything? Like, you buy the whole PRINCESS HAPPY ENDING collection? And how is it now? ๏̯͡๏



 Thank You ❤

[ REVIEW ] Alphabet Mask "I Need You, Immortelle!" Mask Sheet by ETUDE HOUSE

In my country, it's almost dawn now, dan aku baru aja (2 jam yang lalu) selesai pakai masker dan langsung buka laptop buat nge-review, hahaha.
So, right now's review is my favorite mask from ETUDE HOUSE, yang masih nge-trend banget sampai sekarang, yaitu ALPHABET MASK! From A - Z! + Heart <3

Cute isn't? And honestly, for me, this is the great invention of ETUDE HOUSE! Now we know which ingredient is suitable for our face, for weekly treatment. For your information too, I haven't tried each one of them from A - Z + Heart, because I think they re-new their old package one and erase this line, which I think so unfortunate :'( Buying 25 masks straight away is so........................... costly, so yeah.
But I still have other alphabets to try on in future! So stay tune!

Here is the main ingredients according to their respective alphabet

So now, I'm going to review "I", which is Immortelle. I have no idea what is it, so.... Google on~!

"Immortelle is a plant native to the Mediterranean coastal regions of both southern Europe and northern Africa........... Immortelle essential oil have long been prized for restoring the elasticity of skin and have been used as a skin tonic for treating wounds and scrapes since in ancient times. The oils from the flowers have long been believed to restore a youthful look, as well..." http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-immortelle.htm

"Immortelle essential oil has traditionally been used for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, cell regenerating, pain reducing and calming properties.
The essential oil has been applied to stretch marks, acne scars, surgical scars, and wounds.
Immortelle is used in many skin care products for its ability to stimulate the production of new dermal cells. This property makes it popular in facial care for acne scars, dry and weathered skin and for mature skin.
The essential oil is excellent in massage and herbal oils for sensitive, inflamed skin, muscle strains, aches and pains." http://www.fragrantica.com/news/Immortelle-Ageless-flowers-3000.html

Energizing & Nourishing

I'm using it like two times a week if possible, or sometimes once if I have no time and just too lazy. I love ETUDE HOUSE's mask since the end of 2011. It's cheap and PARABEN FREE. So, seriously this mask should be included in your weekly treatment and make your skin healthy!

So, here is the backside..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mask sheet contains immortelle (Helichrysum Arenarium Extract), "the immortal flower" that symbolizes full vitality and rich nutrition, revitalizing and nourishing exhausted skin.

(Directions):
1. Apply toner to skin after cleansing
2. Remove mask from pouch and apply to face, placing mask to fit eye and lip area
3. Remove mask after 15 ~ 20 minutes and lightly massage remaining solution into skins with hands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What captured my eyes the most is the word "exhausted skin". Yeah... my skin is pretty 'exhausted' lately, hahaha. Being exposed to sunlight directly, like almost everyday, for about 2 - 3 hours, guess yeah.. pretty exhausted right? Hahaha.
What is the best is to use this mask at night, may be 1 or 2 hours before you sleep? But this is just my suggestion. I told my mom the other day, "It is no use if you use this mask then after that you go out (at noon 12pm and above). Everything will be disappeared and useless!"

So, let's take out the mask...........

 

For you, who are still new with face mask, then it's good too for you. You can see there that there is actually lot of solution in it, jadi masker masih tetap dalam keadaan basah dalam kondisi apapun. Dan wanginya juga harum banget, tergantung bahan dasar yang dipakai. So, my mom told me that it will be such a waste if I dump the mask straight away without taking the residual solution, and so I always do. By patting in on my neck or hand, and even my foot. Moisturizes at the same time right?

You are supposed to wear it for 15~20 minutes, but sometimes I take a bit long until 30 minutes, so until almost completely dry up!
I forgot (again and again) to take a picture of my bare face...

Begin!!

So, here is my picture after I put it on, and you can see that there is a lot of solution from the mask.

My suggestion:
"You will get bored easily and quickly if you have to wait for 20 minutes or more, doing nothing. So, for me, usually I will listen to music or watching Youtube.
How do I know if it's already 20 minutes?
1. When I'm listening to music, I'll put my favorite songs in 1 folder, around 5 - 8 songs (assume each song is 4 minutes)
2. You can put on an alarm (12:00 - 12:30)
3. Playing Facebook or whatever. Time flies really fast

p.s. DON'T WATCH SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH!

After 20 minutes

Nah, you can see the difference clearly right? The solution completely dried up on the forehead part and cheek part. When it goes dry, it won't stick anymore to your skin.

Look! When it dries, it will become something like this. Yes it still sticks on your face but you will feel that the mask is already dry and no more solution left.

So, this is my face after everything was done. I did not add or put anything on my face, and the solution on my face was completely gone

Pat or massage your face lightly so that the remaining (if there is) solution will be absorbed. The massage also will make your face more elastic and relax.

So, feel good huh?

I really love their mask especially this Alphabet mask! I really want to try each one of them, as every one has a different function. Dan kalau aku, personally sih, sukanya masker yang bisa brightening, rejuvenating, nourishing, etc, tapi lebih ke buat wajah yang lelah atau sering terkena debu dan sinar matahari, karena menurut aku itu penting banget buat mengembalikan keaslian kulit wajah kita.


PROS:
1. Cheap ($1 - $2 = Rp15.000 - Rp28.000)
2. Different ingredients, different function
3. Smells great but not too strong



CONS:
-



DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Of course!!!!
