Addition To My Hair Routine

I found this hair mask by Rejoice in sachet, since i'm a big fan of it's conditioner i decided to try that out -even i still got 1 full bottle of un-touched hair mask-. I think it's good deal for people who wants to try stuff before buying full size (they do have the full size hair mask). I got this for approx $10 (Rp 9.250) contains 3 big sachet, same size with my L'oreal hair mask, its cheaper than L'oreal if you do the math (L'oreal hair mask cost approx $5).

Smells good and love the packaging, i'll buy the full size after i finished my hair mask that i currently using. The only cons was, i have to let the sachet open after using it, which is not pretty hygienic, one sachet can be used twice btw...

Anybody using this product yet, care to share your experience?

My Current Hair Regimen

I'm super lazy when it comes to hair, because my hair is big.. LITERALLY :p
I don't know why, if i'm not straightening it, just blow dry it... it will look like an afro hair :s
After several trial of using local groceries product of hair regimen, this is what suits my hair best. For my scalp feels not so itchy, and my hair not looks too dry anymore. The only thing still in search is anti frizzy spray for hair, which available locally, did use Makarizo anti frizz tho' but finished, already thinking to switch. Found some anti frizz serum from L'oreal that available locally but not in the groceries store near my house yet, maybe a bigger store has it.
I don't want to use the product that hard to get, that's why i'm still loyal to local hair and skin care regimen. Maybe in the future this will change, don't know :)

Shampoo

my favourite anti dandruff shampoo , lifebuoy

When i used this, my scalp is not itchy and oily not like the other shampoo i've ever used (Pantene, Head&Shoulder, Rejoice, Herbal Essence, L'oreal). But it did makes my hair a bit dry, i never used this alone.. always followed with conditioner afterward.

makarizo daily shampoo and contitioner

I love the scent but not my hair texture after using this, that's why i didn't used this much lately. Just when i'm at home and not going anywhere. If i happened have to be somewhere then i add some vitamin for hair then straightening my hair if i'm using this.

Conditioner and Hair Masks

rudy hadisuwarno hair mask for damaged hair and hair mask for hairloss defenser : rejoice- hair conditioner

Well, i switch using this occasionally. So didn't know it did the job or not :D i feel like i have to spread the love and using them all hahaha... but after using these my hair smells good and not dry. So i love them ^^

Sachet Hair Care

I love using sachet, because it finish fast :D and sometimes if i wanna try new product prevent me from buying the full size. What if it didn't suits our skin and hair rite? So love sachet.... :D

L'oreal  hair mask

This is my second sachet, well smeels good and soften my hair... what's not to love about this?

Cleansing Wipes for Acne Treatment

I did my groceries shopping couple days ago, and in the groceries store near my house i found this kinda cute stuff for only Rp 6500 (approx $7).

ANTI ACNE WET TISSUES

Consist 10 sheet every pouch, didn't find a bigger size yet so i don't know if there was any.

ingredients

I probably should start blogging about "no-no" ingredients for beauty product. Because i aware some of you got allergic reaction though some kind of chemical. So maybe it'll help before you decided to buy stuff.

What can this sheet do and when is the best time to use it, they made a cool picture behind.

• After riding a bike or motorcycle
• After workout
• After going home from a walk
• Before bed time

I think it's pretty cool, i will do review later after i tried this for cleansing face. Currently i just use it before bedtime, after cleansing and washing my face, and put it until it dries up a bit on my break out skin (period is comiiin >.<). It did dried up the acnes a bit if i left it about 3-5 minutes on my break out skin that has acnes on it.

The texture is lovable, it's not similar with some of wet tissue i've ever tried.

Can't wait to use it until finished and give you guys review. KEEP FABULOUS ^^

Love to hear another tips from you ladies, keep fantabulous ^^

Counterfeiting - Con't

I posted about this here last January, why and how it happened and persuaded you dear ladies not to buy conterfeit item :D
This post is just gonna be addition, why people buying them due to my latest research that happened in Indonesia.

What i'm gonna write is mostly about "knock offs" and make ups today.
Knock off is basically consumer goods that wearable such as, accesorries, clothes, shoes, bags that imitate from the high end brand.

KNOCK OFFS
Why people buying them? Despite of the reason that i already write, apparently there's one major issues that made people in Indonesia buying this knock offs. Before discussing this issues, we might wanna keep in mind that Indonesia is a very big country and many of the people live in small city that doesn't even have a mall, which made original product hard to find. Now on to reasons :

1. Knowledge, most of the moms (middle to lower) don't have enough knowledge on high end product. They don't even know Hermes until Manohara (Indonesian model whom married with Malaysian Prince and end up sue-ing each other due to marital issues) start wearing them a lot on Tv. And they call it "Manohara's Bag". Knowledge is power maybe that's right, and they might only knew Gucci, LV, but other than those brands, they have no ideas that there's Jimmy Choos shoes, Manolo Blahnik Shoes, does EXIST. Can you blame them, of course not. Since local Tv in Indonesia isn't helping at all.. Every single day what we watch is criminal issues, some artist gossips, culinaire, so very educational shows on Tv. 
2. Due to it's geographic, mostly branded items or counter flag store only available in big city such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, most of the area only have mall that has Guess, Nine West, and some departement store like Sogo, Centro and Matahari in it. People wants to keep updated, and it's hard to get the original ones plus expensive if got it shipped to Indonesia and new tax policy not helping at all. So the smart seller they made huge massive production of latest model of this knock offs with cheap price and distribute it to all over Indonesia. And since the shipping cost around Indonesia isn't that expensive and can produce in cheap price and many type (the minimum rate of salary in Indonesia suck, really) because sometimes the seller pay less than minimum price for workers. 
3. For one bag for example, you can get several of price. In Indonesian commonly known as "KW" maybe it stands for "Quality". Quality in Indonesia = Kualitas = KW". They do have KW "super", KW "1", KW "2" and so on. The expensive one is KW "super" and if you want same type, same brand with lower price go for KW"1" instead of KW"super". What the ($%&$(#%&#$(_&(#$.....

As for MAKE UP.

1. Lots of people wants to have high end brand quick and fast, since some of the high end brands is not easy to get, due to geographycal issues also. And many of the latest item not even sold in Indonesia, people get tend to buy fakes.
2. Seller that claims that they sold the products that produced in same company, but will sold to other factory for branding. -I got fooled once, with this. Learned my lesson tho'-
3. Sometimes it's so hard to differ the original ones with the fake ones, especially for brand that don't have counter in Indonesia. 

I hoped this post enlighten you ladies a bit, and feel free to give me addition. Thank you.... keep fantabulous!

Concealer Swatches

Due to my fellow blogger friend request, to swatch this concealer palette i have, today is a quick post on swatches. Review will be posted in different post, because i still wanna give it a try. I used it couple times already and kinda forgot how it appears on my skin because one time i applied it on my friends and the other one i just use it a bit and blend it with other concealer. Did it get cakey and easy to blend, those kind of thing. Will do a full review later ladies ^^

No brand concealer palette, the seller claim it's from the same factory that produced Coastal Scent, but don't know. I found it a bit weird from the smell :) since it was pre loved item from my friends and i got it in cheap price, i think why not give it a try. This is good for my "Thank You Project", not being stingy but hey.. i also mixed it with other brand to give perfect result also :)
Paid or Thank You Project both are important to me...

Let's get to swatches shall we?

Throw Away Your Tubes?

Spend too many times squeezing your tubes, when it's almost finished? I did, until i read in some magazine this tips, how to deal with your almost empty tubes. I did it, and it works.
Let me share it to you ladies, hope it'll work for you too...
This one is my almost finish facial wash, i did it with any tube -moisturizer,foundation- work for almost every plastic tube.

I cut it into two pieces, with a scissors.

It still got a lot of cream inside. (I cut it almost 2 weeks, and still using it now.. can figure how many left inside after you cut the tube rite ladies)

 This is how i put them together again, empty one side first, then it's not gonna messed up the other side of tube. ( I like to empty the up tube first, with clean finger empty all the cream to the bottom tube, so the up tube is clean and not messing up while i put them together)

Trust me, when you cut the tube open you'll be surprised on how many the cream left ^^

How I Remove My Make Up - Daily Basis

Hallo dear ladies, sometimes after we got home after whole day of activities we get tired and too lazy to do anything. But does it means we have to skip our skin care ritual? Such as removing make up, washing hands/feet, brushing teeth, and apply those expensive cream to maintain our beauty?
I hope not, but i admit sometimes i do skipped it :p (baad habit).

I got several ways to remove my make up tho'. Daily basis, Travel basis, Super Lazy basis :D

On daily basis, i need my baby oil (to removes eyeliner and eyeshadow, sometimes waterproof mascara a bit), milk cleanser, facial wash, toner, and cotton ball also facial wipes.

This is my habit, of course we have our different way, and it's sure okay if you are comfy with what you have now. Maybe you can give me suggestion, since i'm quitting my dermatologist and decided to try several new skin care products ^^

BABY OIL - JOHNSON&JOHNSON BABY OIL

squeeze a few drop to your cotton ball

gently clean your eye area

quickly removing eyeshadow, eyeliner, and non waterproof mascara

MILK CLEANSER - VIVA GREEN TEA

good for combination skin and acne, consist tea tree extract

i just put some on this area then in circular motion wiped it around my face with a little massaging with my finger

uses facial wiped to clean it out - i prefer facial wipes because it's  faster than cotton ball, due to it sized ^^

the rest of the make up removes

Finished yet, of course not :D still got washing face and toning ritual... keep reading *LOL*

FACIAL WASH - ACNES Series (i used this on my occasional break outs) normally i uses eversoft facial wash.

this is almost finished ;p

I washed my faces with this creamy wash, just a regular type of washing. Nothing special..

TONER - VIVA GREEN TEA FACE TONIC

Pour some drops on cotton ball, wiped it around face and neck

I'm done, my skin care routine will be posted soon. After i got great substitute for my current dermatologist product, haven't found it yet. Still searching for sunscreen gel and good moisturizer for night.

Thanks for reading, really loved to read your skin care ritual also.

SHORT POSTING!

Dear Ladies,

I'm not gonna hauling until July... due to some reason. So this few month bear with my FOTD and review of the products that i already been using and my favourite, only.. Well some stuff is on the way tho' but this is the last month that i'm gonna spend money on hauling everything.
Need some saving, tell you later why... Not being misterious but shy to tell why..

I'm gonna do certain FOTD, maybe more celeb inspired, and how to video *crossing finger, still working my ass of learning to edit videos*, review and posting April's haul.

Thanks you for your support by keep reading tho' truly appreciated, and to my new blogger friends, welcome to my vanity world.. I hope you ladies enjoy your time by reading my blog, heart you ^^

OST of the day , " BORN THIS WAY" by Lady Gaga, love it!!!

Answering my fellow blogger's question, how exactly my lid looks like... I hope it's not too gross :D
I have folded lid and the one of the crease is more deep than the other. Also it's black because of allergic reaction due to doctor's prescription..

I found a way to deal with this, SO FAR :D

1. Super careful on picking a color, because sometimes it makes my eyes look even smaller. 
2. Can use only one single bright color, to balance it out -if in hurry-
3. The real test is when i wanna use a smokey eyes or more than one color of eyeshadow, the hooded lid won't cooperate :D that's why point 1 is super important.
4. Anything else? I'd love the have suggestion from you ladies, the real expert XOXO

My lovable lid ^^

the L one is actually wider than the R one -can u see the black shade in the lid?-

 the folded and creasing lid

 the R one has hooded lid

 with eyebrow pencil and mascara and eyeliner only

I'm not complaining tho' ^^

Basically Just My Party Look ^^

Weekend... hoooorrraaaaayyyy!!!

You must have your gals, the one that you do girls night out with and just the one that lend her shoulder for you to cry on every single time, NO QUESTION's ASK!!!
I'm lucky enough to have many of them... my bencongs and banciks.
To be clear, bencong or bancik in Indonesia literally means "DRAG", but this is just the way we called each other, no offense or intend to hurt anybody. It's funny, sometimes people ask, why you called yourself and your friends "congs" or "bancikkkk", but it's just our way... I'm sure you guys have your own way.
I experienced many things with them, laughter, cries, lost a best friend and sister.... but we keep going stronger through time, and i hope our friendship will last, amen :)
*i'll ask them if they don't mind me putting their pictures here, will be edited if they allowed*

Since i'm in a Long Distance RelationSH*T :p they accompany me all the time on weekend, and they don't mind me being the third wheel sometimes hehehe... love you bancikssss ^^
We enjoyed the part of dressing up, being flirty, and did get some attention but nothing went serious, and even to have coffee, and beer sometimes, we love to dress up...

Yesterday, i decided to put out some of my "golden days" make up hahaha.... the night when we go and have ladies night, and dancing on the floor. Did some fling for you ladies, my dear bloggers tho' ENJOY ^^

the only way to balancing my lid ^^

love the orange ^^ hellow spring 2011

BEING SILLY... :D

FOTD

ARGH I FORGOT WHAT PRODUCTS THAT I USED, sowwy..

Hairy Hairy.... Love Them or Get Rid Of Them?

Yesterday, i decided to try the hair removal that i bought last February? I don't remember, i got that apparently, but it got stuck in the storage until i do some organizing my groceries shopping last week, then i found it. One of my fellow blogger did review this, and at first i was like skeptical, but turns out this is a "no love but not hate" product.

Usually my routine of hair removal - under arm - was only shaving every 2 days while bathing, since i read this removal cream on a magazines few times, i got seducted :p and did bought the small size. It was around Rp 14.000 (less than approx. $2) comes in 25g tube.
I grew my under arm hair for like 3 or 4 days to do this review, and mine got so long pretty much quick which this 2 days was hell for me it was itchy, gross.. yeah i know :(

Veet and it's content, small broschure, a spatula and the tube

Veet got three variant, i got this pink one in normal skin, the other variant is in blue tube which for sensitive skin and the green one is for dry skin. They comes in different fragrance and ingredients also.
Since i only got this pink one, i'm just gonna review what happened to me with this one.

Ingredients

The process is pretty simple :

• Put the cream into the "hairy" area that wants to be removed with the spatula, make sure the hair was all covered by the cream.
• Wait for 3mins, and MAX 6 mins... not longer than that.
• Clean the cream with the spatula, and make sure it's from the small area first.
• Rinse with water and wipe it gently to dry.

I pretty much follow the step by step, but since this is gonna be a review.. i decided to wipe the spatula after cleaning and removing the cream with tissue, so you ladies can see the "wonder" of this cream.

It might be kinda gross :D

The hair that has been removed

I'm sorry it's so gross.. YUCK!

But at least you guys got the picture of how it works.

There's a NO NO with this product, don't swallow it, don't use it on your face, or genital area, don't use it on burnt skin or damaged skin, and wait at least 24 hours before applying your deodorant or other cream.

Review :

Pro's : Easy to use, and Hygienic (contains spatula so we don't have to use our finger and hands), Available locally, Comes in 3 variant that matches your skin type, Not making your skin dry after using.

Con's : Strong Fragrance, Gives a hint of sting when applying - but i guess it pretty normal, it just shows that the cream is working -, Removes hair only on the surface - same like when we're shaving, only shaving is faster -, The tube says 25g but when i squeezed it, it seriously almost empty, so i think this is only for max 4 times of using, maybe less if you use it on your leg, which the area is more wide than under arm.

Repurchase : Maybe.

My personal opinion, was i'm not in love with this cream but not hating it also, it just give me alternative way to remove my under arm hair. Which kinda fun to play with sometimes.

I never shave my leg, because i'm not too hairy there :) and i think it'll grow more like bush if i removes it, so i'm gonna leave it that way ;p
