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? :)

My Hero to Combat Hair Fall : Dove Hair Fall Treatment ( Daily Treatment Conditioner)

Kehilangan Hair Journey-ku? Sengaja, karena tahu pas weekend kalian jarang sekali bersentuhan dengan internet, betul kan? Buat yang masih penasaran mengenai kemajuan rambutku setelah memakai Dove Hair Fall Treatment? Yuk baca...

Kenalan yuk ama pahlawan rambutku!!! :)


This is the best part of Dove Hair Fall Treatment – Daily Treatment Conditioner.

Why I loved it, all of it actually. Packaging checked, Smells good checked, Amount checked, Result oh so checked!!!

Let’s get on to it shall we? Packaging :
Beda ama conditionernya yang biasa, Daily Treatment Conditioner packagingnya glossy. I checked at the back Manufactured di Thailand, imported&distributed/ marketed by PT Unilever Indonesia. Looking good right?







Dual Action formula :
Ada 2 warna, dual combination Gold Stripe & White Stripe, yg putih adalah warna conditioner-nya, sementara yg emas adalah warna treatment mask-nya. Pastinya ini double nutrisi juga untuk rambut! Gold Stripes, menutrisi rambut dari akarnya sehingga membuat rambut kuat dari akar dan mengurangi resiko kerontokan. White stripes, conditioner yang melapisi kutikila rambut sehingga mengurangi resiko rambut rontok karena patah <= what else do you want more?



 Untuk 180ml, kalo keramas tiap hari I estimate Daily Treatment Conditioner ini kirakira bakal habis dalam waktu 2 bulanan. Ok banget kan?


Penggunaan :
Bisa sebagai pengganti conditioner biasa, conditioner biasa sifatnya melembutkan dan mengandung banyak nutrisi. Kalau dipake setiap hari malah rambut akan over moisture, sehingga kelihatan berminyak. Nah.. kalo produk ini gak, memang diformulasikan untuk rambut rontok yang aman dipakai tiap hari.

How do I use this?
Karena aku udah jelasin kondisi kulit kepalaku berminyak kalian pasti penasaran gimana aku pake ini, kan udah ada Dove conditioner biasa, trus pake ini lagi? Gak malah makin berminyak? Good question dear Fantabulous.

Aku pake ini seminggu 2 kali. Aku keramas seminggu 4 kali, aku pake conditioner biasa setiap kali keramas. Dan pake ini seminggu 2 kali TAPI setelah conditioner biasa. It works on my hair. Pertama kali pake aku kalap, pake semua. Rambutku memang moist, tapi cepet banget berminyaknya. So aku pake ini kayak pake hair mask. Dan rambutku gak gatal, gak kering, it suits my hair well kalau aku pakai dengan cara ini.

Tapi buat kamu yang RAMBUTNYA NORMAL – KERING, pakai produk ini sebagai pengganti conditioner biasa! Boleh banget juga dipakai setelah pakai Conditioner Dove Hair Fall Treatment yang soulmate ama si shampoonya.

Manfaat creambath dalam sebuah produk, BETUL banget. Menutrisi dan merawat setiap helaian rambut sekaligus mengurangi rambut rontok. Now I skip perawatan ke salon setiap bulan buat creambath, blablabla chachacha lalala… Save my MONEY. Gimana enggak, kalau aku creambath dulu buat merawat rambut rontok, di Bandung sih salon murah sodara.. di Jakarta, wakwaw… Selain buat potong rambut, sekarang sih ogah ke salonsalon lagi, thank you Dove Indonesia.

Result:
If I blabbed this much, you all know I love it right?

Kalo dipikir-pikir lagi, produk perawatan rambut dual combination kayak gini sebelumnya belum ada deh.. Dan ini adalah salah satu teknologi terbaru dari Dove yg diciptakan untuk memberikan nutrisi ganda pada rambut dan mengurangi rambut rontok kita sehingga terlihat lebih kuat..

On my hair, it does its job. My hair feels bouncy and so smooth. Before I was using whole different series of hair care. Tapi sekarang, I really love it. This products in my humble opinion and personal taste is the HERO. You should try it!

Mau tahu HERO produknya satu lagi, Intensive Root Treatment? Stay tuned!

SOULMATES : DOVE HAIR FALL TREATMENT SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER REVIEW


Shampoo + Conditioner

Both of them did good to my hair, pemakaian ke3 aja udah berasa hasilnya. Toiletku dulu harus dibersihkan tiap kali keramas garagara rambut rontok nyumbat pipa pembuangan. GROSS right? Well not anymore..

Ikutin anak panahnya, no set up whatsoever. PROMISE.

Itu rambutku abis keramas, siap untuk conditioner. As you can see, paling cuman ada 35 helai, padahal biasanya tu rambut rontok numpuk deket saluran pembuangan air kamar mandiku.. yuck! I AM SO WOWed!!!! Oh ya.. sebelum pake conditioner biasain memeras sisa air habis membilas shampoo, itu bakal bikin conditioner menyerap lebih baik ke dalam helaian rambut. Kalo masih banyak airnya, conditioner nanti luruh sama air, ya percuma kan?


For the products :

I love the facts that they put instruction on behind of their each products. It will get easier for you to use any of it. Sampe waktu pemakaian conditioner berapa lama juga tertera. Honestly, buat beginner juga jadi tau cara keramas dengan baik dan benar. Juga gimana cara pake conditioner yang bener. That’s so totally A+.

Shampoo

I love it, but for my oily scalp I can’t use it twice as the instruction. Kenapa? Karena shampoo ini mengandung banyak moisturizer yang melembutkan rambut. Sekali aja udah cukup buat aku. Tapi kalau kondisi rambutmu normal bahkan kering, pakai 2 kali yah.

Conditioner

I swore by it! Love it to the max.

Now still can seduce you to try it by yourself? Follow my twitter @MadaFoe or @Beauty_onBudget and go to their website hairfall.dove.co.id banyak informasi menarik disana, worth your time ko.

REVIEW : REVLON AGE DEFYING DNA ADVANTAGES SPF 20 FOUNDATION

I got this foundation few month ago, and last month Revlon send me another shade with lots of goodies. But i'm so in love with this foundation that i couldn't wait to review it with you guys.

What they claims : Contains vitamin E, vitamin B3, and  cherry extract that can prevent aging and also protect your skin. Sounds promising, right?

I use this foundation about one month, with brushes, finger, sponges. Everything went well, but i prefer using finger because the texture glides so smooth on my skin, and didn't clumps whatsoever.

For the swatch (just click).

Ok the verdict here, some may not like to hear "aging" thingy, but hey.. better preventing aging by taking care of your skin rather than spend much more on Botox or Laser whatsoever, LOL.

Ingredients is seriously a lot, but you can google it.

And my experience using this foundation is so far good - excellent. One of my top 5 foundation now.
But i will review this, like usual being brutally honest.

TEXTURE
Lightly creamy, i love! Easily glides on the surface of your skin. Perfect for my combination but dehydrated skin, because i work at air conditioned room everyday.

i combine two shades, but daily i used Early Tanned
APPLICATION
Checked, time saver! You guys know i'm too lazy to spend hours on make up.
STAYING POWER
Excellent. but NOTED i worked on air conditioned room. On outdoor only can last 4-5 hours and you have to set it with powder again, especially on T-Zone.
PRICE :
Quite affordable, around Rp 150,000 ($14) for 30ml of foundation.

PACKAGING :
You can also check it here It has swirl line inside, and LOVE the pump, easy to control and most importantly hygienic.

Now on to the DOWNFALL

SMELLS AWFUL, but it's because of this foundation is fragrance free. It's the bulk smell, i really hate it. But well no fragrance means less alcohol, which is actually good for our skin right?

On to FOTD, chamwhore time :)

Products :
Me... Me.. ME ^^


After 4 hours of usage.

Have anyone ever tried this foundation? What do you Fantabulous think?

Endi Feng #dandanYUK Casses

Hello my dear fantabulous, had a great day so far? I got up side downs this few days, but thankfully i got so many friends that got my back. And gives a good feedback, so i'm thankful. I hope you guys made a good friendship too, sometimes it last longer than your love relationship, LOL.

Anyway, Endi (i'm confused how to name him, beauty junkie/beauty guru/MUA he's all that) were so kind to invite me to be a model for his student for #dandanYuk Classes on early March. He got the classes for two days, and i attend the second day, i was so thrilled and feel very very lucky my face has given a chance to get a free make over.

Located at Coffee Cabin, Jakarta i went from Bandung early in the morning, so during the classes (nice ambiance, Endi's soft and skillful hand really pampered me) i  feel sleepy, and lost for like 5 minutes, sorry Endi >.<
I love Coffee Cabin, in fact thanks to Endi we would have a gathering on April there. I will tell you later about it, now let's focus on Endi!!! :) Great place, lots parking space, free dessert, free karaoke, GOOD FOOD. I love the place really.

Before the class began, he told me to eat first, he was such a great host, and after the student for the day arived, we had big lunch before get the lessons started.

There were two session, first Natural Make Up and second Runway Party Look, of course the techniques and application were customized with the need and knowledge of the client. So don't worry if next time you want to be a part of Endi's #dadanYuk Classes, it's from the beginner to pro.
Analyzing latest trends, and applied it to your face is Endi's specialization.

Ah you can take a peek on his #dandanYUK classes on this post (courtesy of Endi's blog)

Preparation

Meet the lovable Lia everyone
AFTER ^^



She did all her make up! Following the instruction of Endi as a tutor of course, while Endi was doing my make up. So it's kinda learn from watching, i think it's an easy way to learn. Watch, Copy, Practice. And during the classes, of course there was a lot of questioning and chit chat-ing and laughing. So fun! I didn't feel tired after a long make up session (approx. 4-5 hours long).

From the price, it's a very affordable price (if i say, CHEAP for Jakarta standard rate) Endi only charge less than $30 (IDR 200-ish) *quite forgot sorry* include food and beverages (whole lunch set), coffee break, and falsies also included. I say you would be crazy if you didn't want to be a part of this next time he throw another event. I personally would love to join, on how to do other's make up (i hope Endi read my post, LOL)

Okay now on to my pictures and the rest of the during-after classes photos, enjoy girls. Feel free to drop any question i would try my best to answer it, and you can go to Endi's blog or twitter, he updated twitter a lot lately than his blog (hey, don't abandon your blog boy-o :D) @endi_feng

face half done

Thank you again Endi, and Love you girls for keep reading my post.

That term really suits the name, under estimated at first, but WOW-ed by the result.

I'm so terribly sorry i didn't take any pictures, but i got several items. Compact powder, liquid foundation, lipstick, hand and body lotion, eyeshadow also a make up remover.  Oh yes, almost forgot, they also include a booklet, lots of tips there.YEAY... Thank You Viva...

Review

PLUS SIDE ^^
  • PRICE : OMG I believe this is less than $1 for 30 ml tube
  • Lots of shade
Shade : Oche, Natural, Mangir, Kuning Pengantin, Kuning Langsat
  • Best ingredients that i like : Mineral Oil, they claim it also have emolient and moisturizer to soften and moisture the skin.
Ingredients : Bengkuang Extract, Methyl Paraben, Mineral Oil, Stearic Acid, Adeps Lanae, Vaselin Album, Cetyl Alcohol, Propyl Paraben,Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Thriethanolamine, Bentonite, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Propylene Glycol, Talc, Titanium Dioxide, Cl 77492, Cl77491, Perfume, Aqua.
  • Texture : Not to thin, quite rich in texture. But glides easily on skin when applied.

DISLIKE :
  • Scent : too perfume-y, seriously smells like hand and body lotion!
  • Coverage : Not buildable, gives sheer to light finish, not covering any of flaws, just like a tinted moisturizer
  • Hard to blend : Best when applied with brush, with sponge it just dissapear on your sponges, with hand too time consuming.
  • Staying Power : Not too bad, you have to forgive this especially looking at the price, after 3 hours get oily on nose area but not too much.
  • Oxydized a  bit after 4-6 hours usage.
I'm not gonna complain about the plastic tube packaging, they just charge it less than one bucks, come on people LOL.

Honestly, i think our local brand is sometimes being under estimated.

Well, from everything that Viva sent me, i just don't use the eyeshadow. It didn't bring any good, less pigmented, powdery. The rest is doing just fine, i will do a review about the lipstick soon i think.
Thank you for staying with me ladies, what do you think about my FOTD, this foundation bring any good to me? Anyone ever use this before? Would love to hear your thought.

Oh yes, for you that lives abroad, the must have items from this brand is the Eyebrow Pencil, the texture is smooth. Comes in brown and black. Some of well known MUA in Indonesia even use this and can't live without it. I personally love the texture of the eyebrow pencil but the color didn't match my eyes and my hair (dark brown on eyes and very very black for hair).
