Today's Outfit and Random FOTD

Holla.. it's been ages since i post Today's Outfit and FOTD.

You guys know i really like it when cheap stuff can make a difference, not only in make up but in style.

Like i like to said darling... "Money can buy stuff BUT Money can not buy Style".
Well probably can buy you a Gangnam Style (video) hahahaha...

This post is as usual want to show off my cheap stuff, and can i say my trial and error mix and match stuff :p

Today's Outfit

See Trough Top : Plaza Semanggi - Less than $ 4 - around Rp 35.000 ^^
Jumpsuit : Sponsored by Jean Blue (Facebook Online Shop) - Free
Shoes : Delicious ( Bought it from some online shop from United States)
Ring : Let's hope you can see it *sorry.. grin*



Turned out pretty owkay huh?

FOTD

When i came to Clozette Daily Launching.



Head Band : Plaza Semanggi $3 around Rp 25.000
Earrings : F21 $5.5 around Rp 45.000 to Rp 50.000 *quite forgot*

I always like things that can work more than one way, that's how you can get different look without having a lot of stuff and yeah.. spending your money. Let's just say, cost wise LOL..

I quite like the two looks that i created that night, when i came to Clozette Daily launching. More edgy look with the head band when i saw the fashion show they were having, and more sophisticated look without the head band when i have to mingle and talked with you know.. people from the business :)
(Note that i'm working now, i have a company big name to represent)

Now let's on to face shall we?

Face

Foundation : Revlon Airbrush Foundation - Golden Beige
Cheek : NYX Cream Blush  - Orange

Eyes

Inez eyeshadow quad - Vienna
False Lashes from Make Up Tool
Clinique Quickliner for eyes intense - Black
Cover Girl  Lash Blast Fusin Mascara
Revlon eye shadow  - you guys know this (pretty old stuff of mine) for eyebrow.

Lips

Make Up Forever - 42

YES, you read it correctly i wore no primer neither for face and eyes. Because i want to test the durability and endurance of the two babies Revlon Foundation and Clinique Eyeliner. And i didn't use any powder to set it.

See you in another post, my dear Fantabulous!!!

Review : SOLUSI - Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream

Lagi masa percobaan, kalau ngpost produk yang gak ada di luar Indonesia, aku bakal ngpost pake Bahasa. Mari kita lihat apakah lebih gampang buat kamu-kamu untuk "mencernanya" hehehe...

Solusi

Solusi, rangkaian perawatan wajah dari salah satu brand make up lokal di Indonesia yaitu Sari Ayu. Rangkaian Solusi ini merupakan rangkaian untuk wanita yang sudah mengalami masalah *uhuk* kerutan, aging, dkk.

Terdiri dari (yang bisa aku temukan di pasaran)
Solusi Anti Wrinkle - Eye Cream
Solusi Anti Wrinkle -  Night Cream

Karena kulit di daerah sekitar mata itu 10x lebih sensitif dibanding daerah wajah yang lain, tentunya donk daerah mata membutuhkan perawatan ekstra. So, setelah capek nyoba-nyoba krim mata sana sini, dari mulai produk Barat sampai Korea, blm menunjukkan hasil. Akhirnya aku beralihlah ke produk lokal. Bukan under estimate, tapi karna *uhuk* umurnya udah sesuai untuk memakai produk anti aging <= iyee.. TUA :D

OOT nih ye, aku nemu website yang jual produk lokal dengan harga dolar *MEHONG CHYIN* $$$ <= klik.

Khasiatnya :
Mengandung ekstrak Teh Hijau yang membantu menipiskan kerut di sekitar mata, mencegah timbulnya kerutan baru dan menyamarkan kantung mata.

Cara pakai :
Usapkan tipis di area mata setelah selesai dibersihkan.

Nah, udah kenalan dikit mari kita lanjut ke PDKT. Bener gak nih?

*sigh* *sigh* *sigh*

Mulai penggalauan akut nih aku, setelah hampir habis memakai ini. Aku tidak melihat adanya perubahan yang berarti, yang KASAT MATA yah. Mungkin kerutannya berkurang, atau kalau dia bekerja at least kerutan aku gak nambah. Tapi dark circle-nya sih gak berubah.

Tapi yang aku SUKA banget dari produk ini :
1. Baunya, seger. Gak menyengat, tapi ada efek segarnya
2. Warna : hijau muda, jadi sugesti seger abis pake
3. Kandungan pelembab tinggi, berasa banget kalo abis dipake area mata sedikit mengencang dan kenyal.
4. Tekstur light creamy, jadi gak gumpal atau "berat" kalau dipake.
5. Packaging, spatula dan transparent cap

Repurchase : PASTINYA, karena belum ketemu lagi produk lain yang seenak ini dipakenya.

Oh ya, aku beli produk ini dengan harga sekitar Rp 35.000 untuk 12 gr. MURRAH BANGET!

Liat lebih lanjut yuk, foto-fotonya...

Buat sebagian kamu, pasti suka spatulanya karena lebih higenis dalam mengambil produk.
Tapi kalau aku sih, rempong make spatula.
Kenapa?
Logikanya : Pake krim mata ini kan setelah mencuci muka, dan pasti tangan masih bersih donk. Jadi aku gak pake spatula buat aplikasi, lagian kalo spatula jarang dibersihin juga sarang kuman >.<

Tutupnya juga keren sih, jadi mengurangi udara yang mengandung entahlah apa aja itu masuk ke dalam produk yang bisa mengurangi khasiatnya, bener gak? :)

Saatnya buka aib! My bare face with NOTHING ON IT.
Wajah cantik alamiku (pret) hahaha...

Setelah hampir sebulan pemakaian, gak terlihat perbedaan di kantung mata tapi kayaknya.. kayakkknyaaa lingkaran hitam agak berkurang sedikiiiiit. Gimana menurut kalian, cobak tell me :)



Overall, i like this stuff. Kenapa? Karena hal-hal yang udah aku sebutkan diatas. Untuk masalah khasiat, ini skin care bukan SULAP!!! Harus digunakan secara teratur dan lebih dari 28 hari baru keliatan hasilnya. Dan hasil dari skin care akan lebih maksimal apabila digunakan dalam satu rangkaian, betul begitu kan Fantabulous? :)

2012 FAVOURITES for MAKE UP (Not include Palettes)

First, i apologize for the low quality of pictures. I took it with my Blackberry, too lazy to move on from the carpet. It was exhausting doing Make Up Detox, how do you feel have to giveaway your babies and throw it away. Huhuhu T-T

I did Make Up Detox already, have you???

Finally sharing with you all the make up (not include palletes) that i have, and my favourite for 2012.

Graftobian - Garnet ; MUFE -  42 ; NYX Black Label- Cherry


I also loves lipglosses, you all know i have a weak heart for lipgloss. And my favourite still Napoleon Perdis Limited Edition

The right one is MUFE - it's not lipgloss but liquid lip color and i love it too

Eyeliner

My favourite is Clinique Quickliner For Eyes Intense, love it to death. I attend David Guetta Concert in Jakarta and partying all night long, the eyeliner not smudging at all, in my eyes it appear to be sweat proof too :p

I also like Urban Decay - Mildew, the green is fascinating.
And of course, the famous MAC FLUIDLINE - Black


The small one is my favourite eyebrow pencil LYRA :p
 Mascara

Eyes Primer : UDPP Mini, and Aubeau still the champions, well ok both of theme. But ELF Mineral Eye Primer is also my favourite.
And i have one lip corrector : Natural Born Cosmetics Lip Fix Matte Neutralizer

I am too lazy to do monthly favourites. So this is it, the champions for 2012. What is yours?

Make Up Detox

HOLA... I feel like wanna shout after i throw everything from my 2 traincase and boxes. HELP!!!

2012 almost end, it's time to do your make up detox.

What is make up detox? For me, make up detox is get rid of the make up you don't need or simply expired and re-organizing them.

Why i URGE to to this? Because we bloggers, have tons of make up for any reason (buying, giveaway, sponsored) and sometimes we forgot things we have and the products end up already esxpired or broken or whatever. Sad!

Treat your make up as your friend, Fantabulous. They need care, they need special care, on what temperature you should keep them. Have you ever think of that before YOU START A BEAUTY BLOG? :)

Anyway.. i'm not here to lecture, i just wanna share "HOW I DO MY MAKE UP DETOX".

1 . I put everything from my traincase, bags, pouch, etc out.
2. I start organizing them, i like this way : Foundation - Powder; Primer; Lipstick; Lipgloss; Eyeliners; Mascara; Skin Care; Brush.
3. I threw out everything that not proper anymore, by smell, by texture.
4. I giveaway to my friends the things that i didn't match or end up not liking.

You already see the before, let's see the after!

TOP - From Left To Right :

Wooden boxes : Batieste Dry shampoo, 3 Mandom Hair Care, Hair Brushes, 3 Face Mask, and two body lotion, one for day that contains UV Protection, and one for night that has rich moisturizer.

Green box contains foundations. Ok i admit tons of it, look tiny right but, when i finished count i was like *OMG*, 38 foundations >.<

Next is lipgloss only.

BOTTOM - From Left To Right

4 mini plastic containers : Loose eyeshadow; Blush On; Quad Eyeshadow; Bronzer, Highlighter

White Long Container : Mascaras ; Lipstick; Eyeliners

Primers goes to stacking container, and below the primer is skin care.


Unboxes make ups, lots of it! >.<


YEAH, I KNOW! I HAVE TO WASH MY BRUSHES ASAP *blushing*


And finally, time for a little giveaway! It's embracing blogging life, and celebrating upcoming years for the best is yet to come.


Stay tuned to know about this giveaway, more than 30 products inside :)

Removing Make Up with #1 Brand in America - ALMAY

The new babies to removes make up from Local Brand is Shikada and Finesse both from MITU. You can read the review here SHIKADA REVIEW

The difference between them is tiny *not significant ingredients* and amount. Shikada has 30 sheets while Finesse only has 10 sheets, perfect for travelling, IMHO.

Now, the Western Brand review.

ALMAY Make Up Remover

They claim that they're the #1 Brand in America for removing make up.

Key Ingredients : Aloe Vera which is very good for moisturizing skin.
(I believe all my readers are tech savvy, so they can google the ingredients on their own)

Contains : 80 round sheets.

Price : Less than $10 - I bought it for Rp 80.000 early this year.
(Currency $1 = Rp 9.200)


Texture is oily, like no other make up remover that more wet. But i think that what's make it removes even waterproof mascara so easily.

It's a matter of preference, i though like it when my make up remover tissue or pad not so oily.


See the oily texture? It give stain to my finger every time i grab one pad.

Let's see it's power, shall we?


I use heavy eye make up, waterproof eyeliner and mascara and BB cream Skin 79 only on my face. Believe me, my mascara contains fiber that makes it harder to remove (will review it later, clue it's called Lash A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4D Mascara :p)

Result :

Tada............... :D
I looked like someone just punched me... LOL!

My two cents :

1. I prefer this Make up remover only for removing eye make up only, it is too small and too unconvenient if i used it to clean the whole face. The pad is a bit small for it, so the perfect usage is to remove eye make up.

2. I found it BEST to, use it only put it for about 30 seconds on my eyes and gently removes it. Not removing the eye area with circular motion whatsoever. Remember eye area is sensitive, we don't want the stain of the make up or eyeliner or mascara drop to our under eyes. It can cause dark circle in long term. Uh Oh...

3. I can perfectly use one pad to remove both eyes, and bye bye waterproof mascara and eyeliner.

After this, of course i also use Cleansing Milk to removes all the foundation and etc. Then i move on with my facial wash.

Now, share with me your favourite Make Up Remover, please ^^

CLINIQUE LUNCH & LAUNCH

I've been away lately. Been sick and hospitalized. And moving office. And(Indonesian Beauty Blogger) IBB stuff.

Busy like a bee, and yet i can't manage to keep blogging, i apologize to all of you.

In this post i would like to share my experience on CLINIQUE Lunch & Launch, as you already know on my previous post that me along with 4 other bloggers were exclusively invited by CLINIQUE Indonesia to sit down and have a meet and greet with Rick Felecia, Regional Education manager CLINIQUE Asia Pasific.



It's been GREAT HONOUR, truly. Thank you CLINIQUE Indonesia.

The venue is in one of my favourite restaurant in Jakarta, Remboelan VIP Room - Plasa Senayan Jakarta.
Rundown of the gathering was :
1. Question and Answer by Rick Felecia and bloggers.
2. Introducing Clinique best sellers, and new store concept *which I LIKE so much*
3. Rambling about IBB and histories of each bloggers.
4. Of course, eat.. till i can not tahan anymore *singlish* hahahaha...

This is some of the highlights of CLINIQUE that you must know.

Q&A

How does Clinique reacts to Korean/Japanese Make up and Skincare that booming for these past 2 years? (Mada Foe)


Clinique stay true to its mission, “SKIN IS THE KEY and OUR PRODUCTS ALL ALLERGIC TESTED”.

Keep doing innovation such as, keep doing this program called “White Space Products”. What is it, it is a program where Clinique develop some formula to meet the certain needs of skin problem that costumer not even noticed yet. One example of big success from this program is Even Better Clinical Anti Dark Spot.



FACTS

1. Based on the study that Clinique did, the main problems of skin for Indonesian woman are : Skin dullness => They complaint about a pile of dead skin cells on their face. In order to solve that, Indonesian women need to do exfoliation every day. But the exfoliation has to be in some percentage that still good for skin, Clinique has the Salicylic Acid in each of their products even make up.

2. Clinique Foundation : Even Better Foundation is NUMBER 1 Foundation Globally in 2012, beats Kanebo as runner up with 4 millions unit behinds.


3.Each of every Clinique products (skin care & make up) were tested in 7200 thousands people, 600 hundreds subjects and 12 times application. They will apply it on the people, and leave it for 48 hours, if one of the people showed allergic reaction Clinique will change the ingredients of their products.

And? Yes, my jaw is dropping too.. knewing that CLINIQUE Even Better Foudation is the most selling foundation in the whole world!!!

=====================================================================

After Lunch we went to CLINIQUE counter and my eyes caught this new display and it's eye catching *sorry for bad resolution for the picture*
They have a special display of their bestsellers products, and the use of it. How convenient.

And as always my alter ego showed up hahaha... Meet gipsy woman, MADA :p
Tees : Jean Blue - Personal Shopper and OL Shop
Skirt : ITC Ambassador
Shoes : Charles & Keith
Bracelet and Turban : Plaza Semanggi
Bag : H&M


Anyway have you ever get ANNOYED by the shop asistant that following you everywhere inside the store. We know they mean well, but sometimes i personally feel like i'm being watched. And i don't like the feeling, don't you?

CLINIQUE understand!!!

They introduce the new concept of their counter which is
SERVICE AS YOU LIKE IT

Mechanism :


First they have the CHOICE BAR, which is the place where they can choose one of the bracelet. Each color shows one impression.



Green is for : Consultation

Pink is for : I just want to browse the products ( then the Beauty Advisor will leave the costumer alone)

White : If you just want to grab a products and pay it at the register

For me? Of course as a blogger i would like to observe alone first, and then ask later so it's green for me..


Not just that, you can have FREE Skin Check and Consultation by dermatologist at CLINIQUE counter. Did i just heard yeahh? :D

Meet Yuna, she is observing her skin problem with CLINIQUE dermatologist. And i asked her later, she was really satisfy. Why? Because they did, check your skin with hygyenic tools and they take the time to really get into your skin problem. Every woman have different skin problems right?



Unfortunately, i have to go back to the office early. So i left earlier, and leave all the others *well.. some* still having skin diagnose. And CLINIQUE didn't let us go home empty handed. They want us to experience the number 1 most selling foundation in the whole world and their newest products which is quickliner and their Holy Grail moisturizer suit to all skin types - Moisture Surge.

PS : I swear to GOD that is the best EVER eyeliner i have ever taste. Used it into rave party (David Guetta, yes i f*ckn love party and clubbing LOL), 6 hours clubbing at Dragonfly Jakarta, and no smudging!
Will review it later fantabulous. Lalala... *smooches*
