Showing Off My Precious

I wish i can wear heels everyday.

"You give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world", Ni Luh Djelantik says.

I quite agree with that, alto' i still have to save up to buy those gorgeous shoes. I'm quite, nope... I'm Satisfied with my babies here. They're so irresistible, and super cute.
This is the last haulage of shoes, i'm pretty much done this year with shoes *finger crossed*.

Wanna see my babies? Here we go...

I'm in love with them all. What's your favourite heels ladies, share with me :)

(edited) FOTD with Naturactor Foundation

First i'm truly sorry won't be able to show you guys on the swatch and the how was the foundation looks like. I will edit this post soon, as long as i got time to take picture. Please googling it for now, altho' i know all of you already know probably have it. I learned from you my dearies ^^

Finally got time to upload this ^^

I heard about this foundation from "Kelas Dandan FD" at first, and couldn't find it in Bandung (where i live) but lucky me, i got it from a friend from FD forum. The reviews on this foundation are great, the coverage is medium to full. And since the Japanese and Korean decorative products is highly rated, i'm excited to try.

I would like to do a FOTD of this foundation on my face, but i think it's better for NC 15- NC 30. So i asked my lovely friend, Miss Yosephine Maria to be my victim, she agreed *evil grin*

I use this foundation on her face with my finger only, no tools involved. Turns out it did beautiful, not too heavy on her lovely face. If you want a better coverage use it with wet sponge or sponge will do. The texture pretty thick, so it kinda hard using brushes.

See, i didn't to do much. she's already gorgeous. The only dissapointing part for me is i didn't perfectly make a contouring for her nose and the falsies. Probably i should use another type for her eyes.

Face : Naturactor Foundation shade 151, Revlon loose powder in light, ELF all over stick in Toffee
Cheek : Amuse blush palette (i use the coral color) just lightly swipe, for a touch of color only
Eyes : Elizabeth Arden Eyeliner Pencil in Black, Inez eyeshadow quad, Eyebrow - Revlon wet/dry eyeshadow in chocolate, Jolly Falsies no 18 i think.
Lips : Inez in Terracota, Napoleon Perdis lipgloss

We played around with the hair, she wants the daytime to night look. For daytime, just add your favourite accesories, and a simple ponytail or back combing hair will do. Without changing the look on the face.

Next post about make up will review Milani cream to powder foundation. (And of course editing this post with a closer look of Naturactor).
Have a nice weekend, my fantabulous ladies.

New Addition To my Shoe-Rack (Closer Look)

I haven't post about apparel and accesories for like ages. Not like i'm forgetting them, but all my paycheck goes to Make up -_-

This is the closer look of what i got in the past month, FLATS only.. will post the Heels on another day.
I think i'm done with shoes, well... for this year du du du... (innocent face)

I just need another pair of nude pumps and red heels and i'm done oh.. and a couple of Ni Luh Djelantik shoes. Here come the greedy girl :p

Ladies, proud to present you my babies..

H&M, Marie Claire, Pixie

Nevada, H&M foldies, Unbranded

My favourite Leopard foldies from H&M (5 euro only) hihihihihi...

I got all of them in pretty cheap prices. Price vary but not much from approx $15 (IDR 150.000) Most of them cost me less than $10. The red flats only cost me approx $8 (IDR 75.000) it was on 50% sale.

Eyebrow Story - My favourite

Did you ever get pissed because you have to redo you eyebrow after few hours of using?
Just because you have bang, sometimes the bang swipe away your eyebrow and make it look un-even.
I get that, a lot! While i was using my Viva Eyebrow Pencil. I did use Viva for several years tho'. Don't get me wrong, i love the texture. It is easy to draw, the texture is so soft wont't hurt your skin, and it is so easy to blend.Well you can always get more coverage with adding matching color of eyeshadow after Viva to make it more last, but too much work. I like to get my eyebrow done, quick and easy. Also with Viva the color is a bit orange-y and red-dish so it didn't match my black eyebrow.

After searching ang lots of watching, i came up with this 4 Eyebrow Pencil that was my favourite. Guess what? It's still afordable, remember you don't have to spend lots of money for decorative product to save up :)

Here is the champion, ladies.

L : With flash R : Without Flash

From L to R, Inez eyebrown pencil in dark brown approx $3 (IDR 23.000), NYX eyebrow pencil -  chocolate (price may vary in different shop), Lyra Eyebrow Pencil in brown approx $1 (IDR 8.000), Lyra Eyebrow Pencil in Black aprox. $1 (IDR 8.000)

The swatches

With Flash 

No Flash

Texture :

Inez : The hardest one, it's quite difficult to draw with, you have to keep it sharp to make it easier
NYX : Creamy and so easy to draw with, but sometimes it's tricky, it make a thick line, and you have to carefully draw it with thin strokes
Lyra : My favourite, texture so smooth and easy to draw with

Blendable :

Inez : Easy
NYX : Easy
Lyra : Easy

Endurance :

They pretty much the same, from morning till night, i never touch up my eyebrow while using them

The only problem with them are the color, because i have a black hair and black eyebrow, sometimes if i put them on light strokes the color didn't match. But with practise, they end up fine.

What's your favourite eyebrow pencil, ladies?

Practising My Make Up

I think i should get back to my brushes ASAP, as i never touch them anymore. Hiks..
Few days ago, i tried to practising my eye make up. Turn out so-so, not hate it, but not fancy it either.
Need sugestion, be kind with me pretty ladies :D

Face : Maybelline cream smooth foundie (under eye, n cheek), TWC Fanbo Gaharu, Revlon loose powder
Eyes : Maybelline concealer as base, Etude gel liner black for lid, Mirabella e/s palette (highlighter, brow bone, maybelline mascara
Cheek : Amuse blush palette
Lips : Wardah palette no 31 (bottom, right) this palette

Swatch Benefit Feelin Cheeky's

I got this from Purplerebel's lapak on FD. She probably the most patience seller on planet earth :D

Well, i know this is not very budgeted. But for next year, my blog will post maybe lots of make up. Will try to do it very low budget tho'
Some people asked, why has to be on budget, because not everyone (including me) can afford to spend millions on make up. So all the pretty ladies with the "tight" budget deserve to have fun also with make up, agree?

This Benefit is so tiny, and i got it for less than $25 (IDR 250.000) include shipping to my house. With that price we can get 3 product at once, Posie Tint (poppy-pink tinted lip & cheek stain), High Beam (luminescent complexion enhancher), Benetint (rose-tinted lip & cheek stain).

For my taste this is too sparkling, i'm not a big fan of glowy make up, but this will be used for my client. So i had to buy it... To complete my collection.

The closer pic of swatch, once on hand without flash

Posietint - Highbeam - Benetint

Oopsie, the pic was rotated :(

After blend on hand with no flash

L-R : Benetint - High Beam - Posietint

Quick humble review :

From all three the ewh part is Benetint, the texture is not creamy whatsoever, it just pure rose color liquid. Me not likey. Kinda hard to use as lipstick, lipgloss maybe. But not a big disappoinment when applied as blush, it gives a nice touch of color, although it might work best on you that has NC 20-30 tho'.

My (current) No Make Up, Make up.

Hai lovely, how are all of you doing? I'm not in a good mood, because it was raining every single day. I don't know why, but i really don't like rain. :(

I got lazy to put make up lately, as i put everything on my traincase now, and just put my skin care regimen on the table. I blame it on my current hair style, i need a hair cut ASAP.

Without further a do, enjoy :)

Eyes : Inez eyebrown pencil in dark chocolate, Pixy eyeliner pencil in black, Urban Decay Asphyxia for lower lash line, One coat of Maybelline mascara.

(Edited) You're Invited to Costume Party, Dresscode? Humiliation a.k.a NORAK

One of my beloved organization is throwing away costume party in order to celebrating the anniversary, and the theme is "Back to Nature". At first i was like, what to wear hadaaaah..... Back to nature means, er.. WEAR NOTHING rite? LOL
Since there would be a lot of performance from every classes, my classes and several classes decided to join up and make a video as a wish and "ice-breaker" during the party. Yesterday, the shooting began. We decided to dress up for the video with 80's. VIVA 80's reminds me of colourful outfit and lots of layering. Remember Docmart, latex legging, Jane Fonda, ah... memories :D
And to make it more "worse" my colleagues told me that it has to be super duper "NORAK".

Sadly i love myself that much not to publish the whole look of me that day, don't have enough nerve to post it here *nail biting*. So i'm just gonna post the FOTD.

Still budgeted, still doing it fast and really long lasting :)

Really Beauty on Budget

For the money savers out there.

I got the question a lot, how to do make up with less budget. And i really need to practice again after 3 month didn't do any make up at all on me either on someone else. I decided to do this post, anyway my friends already remind me about my absence on blogging so here you go...

The tips that i got from my own experience that i hope can help you guys figure it out.

1. Know your skin type and choose the right skin care, make up is easier to applied on healthy skin
2. Choose carefully for the foundation and match the shade with your skin tone
3. Choose the decorative products on neutral color, and add some bright color to your collection. ex : you can get a nice neutral brown eyeshadow quad and can get some pink, blue or black eyeshadow to add in your collection. You can experiment on the color, but neutral always is the best choice
4. Get yourself a good primer for face and primer for eyes.
5. And remember less is more, you don't have to put on everything on your face while doing make up, if you go bold on eyes make sure you make everything else is light. 

I got 2 models, meet Melinda and Melan. Melinda asked for make up that Korean and Japanese looks like and Melan asked for more lady rocker look but not too gothic. Both asked for easy 15 minutes make up (of course budgeted). 

Sari ayu 25th year Eyeshadow Palette
Marcks loose powder in creme
Revlon shine control
Inez liquid foundies
Pixy liquid eyeliner (black)
Red A lipstick (nude)
Evanysenses waterproof mascara
ELF eyelash curler
Some random brushes (Majelier and Masami Shouko)

Didn't read any blush on and eyebrow pencil? Yes, i didn't use any. I used the lipstick and applied it like i applied cream blush, with finger and blend it. For the eye brow i use dark chocolate eye shadow and brush to applied them.

Melinda

Melan

Only false lashes that missing in both of this look i think. If use false lashes the eyes will pop out.

Sweet Lips and Brushes (Haul)

I'm crazy about lips, as you guys all know that i'm a big fan of lip conditioner, lip balm whatsoever more than lipstick. I got mysefl 4 brand new of lip balm lately.

Top : Labello Pearly Shine ; Carmex Lip Balm
Bottom : Labello Light Kiss

And the other one that forgot to take the picture is Banana Boat with Spf Lip Balm ( This one is my favourite, and already used, gonna do the review soon)

Last but not least, i got myself Essence of Beauty travel set brushes.

Left : Face edition
Right : Eyes edition

I forgot how much they cost me, sorry but i got the balm around somewhere in Stephenplatz and the brushes is from my fellow FD member.

Personal Life Post

I've been away for like 3 month :(

I missed blogging, but been away for so long until i don't know what to post anymore. I've been behind from everybody.

Dear ladies, do you know and aware that nowadays there's a lot of disease that attack most of woman age around their 20-30 something? I didn't!!! Until my love's sister was very sick and got to be hospitalized for like 3 month. I didn't know it was that serious because i was still on my Euro trip last July, and we didn't stay in touch as much as we want to because of the lack of source i had there and my love's didn't want to bother me while i was concentrating on my competition back then.

Apparently, while i was gone, on early July she was hospitalized for few week because she had prolonged fever (up to 40-42 degrees). The doctor made lots and lots of test, and lots of diagnose also. She was claimed of Leukimia, and TB, and even some doctor said could be HIV. I was like, WHAT?

She went to 2 different hospital in Indonesia, and her husband decided to take her to Malacca for better treatment, but that didn't work out also. And one of the doctor reccommended a hospital in Jakarta (my friends suggest i better not say the name, afraid of Prita's case :D ) she was there for one whole month, and the doctor keep running test without a result and can you guys believe, they once misplace her medicine with other patient's medicine, i can sue them for that actually! There was a result - i really wanna kick the doctors there-, she was diagnose to had TB disease which make her had to drink the medicine for one year. As we all probably guess, she was getting worse than ever, she had fever everyday, until her skin is chappy all around her body, and her hair was totally red and grey because of the fever she had. To make it worse, she got a swollen heart and liver because of the medicine she took.

My love and i decided to discuss with the whole family and took her to Penang Island in Malaysia for many people has been well after they went there. And my father did has his treatment and several surgery there. I was running on and off from Jakarta, to Medan, to Penang accompany her and my love during this 3 months. I barely have no time to finish my thesis, but that the sacrifice i'm willing to make.

Miracle happened, after we went to Penang, in just 3 days she was able to walk and take a bath on her own. Her fever lowly gone and the doctor did run some test, apparently she got auto immune disease, and on her case it was nearly LUPUS.

What Is Lupus Disease
More FAQ for Lupus disease, can be found here

Those links above is courtesy of google

I apologized for many bad situation that may caused for i been away, such as some fellow FD friend, i think i still owe them some money because i've been away for so long and my package must be arrived long time ago. And to my dearest friends that been so worried about me and my love's family.

Long story short, she has to check up in few month to make sure her immune system is stronger. And now she is fine and happy with her 3 kids, but can't be in a stressful condition and has to do some diets.

There's no beauty without health, so stay healthy my fantabulous ladies.
