Holika Holika: Merry Holika All Over Face Review~

Hi girls~!! Guess what I brought to you guys today?~

Another Holika Holika products~!! Yay~!!

Well I guess I should apologize for being a crazy fan of holika holika products ;)

I just couldn't help but keep falling in love with their products because of the extremely adorable packaging and the high quality of the products.

Anyway today's product is gonna be the Merry Holika All Over Face~

As usual it comes with a purple witch-y kind of packaging which I really adoreeee~

It also comes with a small brush which is quite soft but 1 thing I don't like from the packaging is I couldn't put the brush inside the blush case, so sometimes it's kinda troublesome to store it separately.

Isn't it cute?? I just really love the cat and all the color mixed up together. It does creates a very fantasy and cute feeling. For the color itself I couldn't deny that I really love it, well you know I really love pastel yet natural. For the texture and pigmentation, it is exactly the same with Holika Holika Midnight Owl Blusher. It contains a lot of shimmer and a bit powdery also. But It doesn't really bother me honestly.

Same  with the holika holika midnight owl blusher, it really gives me a very beautiful glow when I apply it on my cheeks, which I really love. I guess the glow comes from the shimmer in the blush :p. 

For the lasting powder, it does last me a good 5-6 hours without touching up.

These are the swatches of the blush

I'm sorry  if you couldn't really see the color because it is very sheer even more sheer than the midnight owl one. Anyway if you love sheer and shimmering blush you will definitely loveeee this. I really love this products, and I think this is also one of the best blush I ever owned.

Rating: 5/5

Recommended: Absolutely~ x)

take care girls! ;)

March 2012 Drugstore Haul~!! x)

Hi readers~ Today I'm just gonna share some products that I bought this month~

All of them are lip products from Revlon and Maybelline

2 weeks ago Revlon is having a promotion if you purchase more than 100,000IDR you can get 20% off, so I thought I should use this chance to actually grab some lip butter, which is raving recently~ Maybelline also has a promotion if you buy 2 lipstick you can get 20% off both lipstick. The promotion starts and ends around the same time, so I had to quickly pick all of them.

And these are the color I picked from revlon lip butters and maybelline watershine pure lipstick

The color from left to right (095 Creme Brulee, 025 Peach Parfait, 080 Strawberry Shortcake, 065 Creamsicle)

The color from left to right (BM31, C11)

I have tried the Revlon Lip Butters but I haven't had any chance to try the Maybelline Watershine Pure Lipstick, but don't worry I will give you a proper review after I've tried them all.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy it~

take care ;)

Etude House: Shini Star Clear BB Lotion Review

Hi~ how are you doing? ;)

Today I'm gonna review this newest BB lotion/cream from Etude House

If you don't know yet Korean boy band SHINee is endorsing Etude House brand with Sandara Park from 2NE1 recently. Shini Star Clear BB Lotion was one of the first product they endorsed.

Cute aren't they? x) Anyway moving on to the products, first let me show you the packaging first~

It came with a super cute blue and pink tube. I guess this is the cutest bb cream I've ever seen! x) Love love love the packaging very much~

As you can see on the picture, this bb cream/lotion is supposed to be suitable for all skin types, moisturize, and brighten your complexion to give a very natural look.

I really didn't want to say this but despite of the cutest packaging, the quality of this bb cream is the worst of all. x( I really did expect A LOT from this bb cream but somehow it just didn't work as I wanted it to be.

First, I do not feel the moisturizing and brightening effect at all. And the worst thing is it accentuates my pores and wrinkles. Honestly I'm still 19 years old this year and I do not have large pores! But this bb cream makes my face look wrinkly and big pores.

Coverage wise it has an extremely sheer coverage which is definitely not enough for me because I have a lot of acne scar on my face. The texture itself is a bit creamy and it doesn't have any kind of smell, but still I couldn't bring myself to like it no matter how much I tried to love this.

Below is a picture of my bare skin hand~

My hand is still very smooth and soft, but after I apply this it became....

HORRIBLE!!!!! XO can you see it?? My skin became very wrinkly like a 70+ years old woman -.-"

Now can you imagine it on my face??

Anyway I really cannot find any good thing about this product except the cute packaging. And I would not recommend this to anyone.

Rating: 1/5 (for the packaging ;))

Recommended: absolutely no

Houseof Younique Haul~!! (and my life story ;))

Hi Pretty Girls~ ;) How are you doing?

Today I'm gonna give you a bit of sneak peak on how my online store (Houseof Younique) is doing x)

Let me tell you a bit of the history why I create this online store. I first loved make up since I was in my 3rd year on high school. Back then I had to choose to study make up or fashion. After a lot of consideration I chose to study fashion instead of make up. I got tuition grant to study fashion design in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore.

Although I was studying fashion, I learned about make up a bit from youtube gurus. Last October, after studying in Singapore for 1,5 years, I was diagnosed with chronic Hepatitis B which is uncureable. I also had brain damage that time which cause me to lose my memory. Because of the medical fee and my sickness, I had to quit school and return to Indonesia. I almost lose hope that time but miraculously I was healed after few months of treatment (not completely but at least my life was not threatened anymore).

After few months after I returned to Indonesia I was reminded by how I used to love make up and so I was thinking to open this business and started to look for suppliers. After few weeks of preparation I finally started this business. A lot of things happened on the 1st month which is very difficult. But through His grace and guidance, I was able to go through everything. And last february was the 2nd month since I started this business. But you know what I couldn't believe that my sales has become 5 times more than the 1st month. It was a miracle! x)

And so this it what I call miracle :)

Can you believe it?? It is just the 2nd month of my business! I know and I know that it is all not by my own strength but all is because of Jesus mighty grace <3. And I believe that in the future this business will grow even bigger because I believe that Jesus will keep blessing me till the end.

My last message for you is even when you are sick or poor or even bed ridden, Jesus is more than able to use you and bless you abundantly ;)  so don't give up and keep your faith till the end! x)

Matthew 6:26 

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

John 11:4

When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

God bless you all!

p.s leave your prayer request on the comment section and I'll pray for you ;)

Laneige Multi Cleanser Review

Hi~hi sorry for not posting for a long time~

I was busy working with my online store and currently on a wedding dress project (you know I'm a fashion student~) x)

So today's review is gonna be the popular Laneige Multi Cleanser which I bought in Korea last December~ xD

This is how the texture look like...~

This cleansing foam is suitable for all skin types. If you can see, it actually contains a lot of micro beads inside to exfoliate your skin. The beads itself is very fine so it doesn't irritate my skin. This foam cleanser doesn't have a strong scent, only typical soap scent, I guess :p.

What I thought about this:

I absolutely love love love this product!! This is the best foam cleanser I've ever used so far, even better than my Shiseido The Skincare Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam which I've used for more than 5 years now.

I love this multi cleanser because after I use it (again) it reduces my acne and my white heads!! And trust me I still got a lot of white heads on my forehead but this cleanser actually eliminates ALL of them!! Amazing huh? xD I do love the fact that there are a lot of micro beads inside because it does exfoliate my face very well and gives the squeaky clean feeling on my face, which I love x).

Some review says that this product cannot be used everyday because it contains a lot of micro beads, but honestly I do not agree. I use this everyday and noticed that my complexion become a lot brighter and softer, which I guess it is because of the micro beads.

The only down side of this product is only that it is not super moisturizing because it is supposed to be suitable for all skin types. I'm actually ok with this fact but maybe for extremely dry skin people, you need to moisturize your face very well after washing you face.

Rating: 5 STAR~!

Recommended: Absolutely x)

Once again if you cannot find Laneige counter in your country, you can get this from my online store Houseof Younique ;)
