REVIEW: Clean & Clear Natural Bright Face Wash

Halo semuanya!
Kadang aku masih heran sama banyaknya dan maraknya produk pemutih kulit dan lebih heran sama banyaknya orang yang rela bayar mahal untuk memutihkan wajahnya atau kulitnya. Kamu bisa bilang itu adalah budaya orang Asia yang emang suka kulit putih, tapi jangan salah orang luar negeri itu juga marak banget untuk ingin punya warna kulit yang lebih eksotis aka terbakar matahari aka tanning.

Selama ngeblog aku juga sering mendapat komentar seperti, kak gimana cara dapat kulit yang putih? (padahal lagi review eyeshadow.. haha) dan ketika aku jawab banyak yang respon memang pengin punya kulit yang "putih" karena dirasa lebih cantik. Aku merasa ini lucu bgt, kenapa sih kita harus keliatan putih baru merasa cantik? Dan aku inget aku selalu jawab, no you're beauty isn't defined by your skin color.

Nih ya kalau mau tau dulu aku se-keling apa:


Dan aku engga pernah engga bangga dengan warna kulitku :3
(iya lah kalo engga ngapain diposting disini juga). Semua kesempatan yang aku dapat bukan karena warna kulitku, and I really hope everybody's on the same page as me :3 (and no, I didn't go through any medication for whitening :( cuma tiba-tiba suatu hari memutih)

Ketika aku lebih gelap dan aku terang pun aku punya tingkat percaya diri yang sama dong. Dan aku sadar it bukan sesuatu yang mudah dan pola pikir seperti itu yang harus diubah! Embrace your skin color guys :)))

Jangan lupa kalau setuju semua orang berhak mendapatkan kesempatan yang sama apapun itu warna kulitnya, ikutan campaign seru Clean & Clear di kbj.review/akusetuju - Upload foto kalian dan log-in dengan social media akun kamu, pilih frame serunya! Aku udah ikutan dong :D



Nah, untuk bantu kamu lebih PD menghadapi hari, aku mau review *drumroll*
YES The new Clean & Clear Natural Bright Face Wash!




Mungkin berapa hari ini kalau kalian ada follow my other social medias, kalian tahu aku lagi mendukung banget campaign dari Clean and Clear yang intinya mendorong untuk terutama para remaja Indonesia, mencintai warna kulitnya instead of selalu mencoba memutihkan kulit karena semua warna kulit itu cantik!

Tahu banget kan, dari dulu kalau liat iklan, hampir semua produk kecantikan itu pasti punya kelebihan memutihkan - padahal memang bener harus "putih" supaya kamu merasa cantik? Nah, Clean and Clear mendorong campaign bahwa semua warna kulit cantik dan mempunyai kesempatan yang sama! :D

Kembali lagi ke review produknya ya haha
Dari packagingnya, bentuk produk ini seperti hampir kebanyakan produk face wash dari Clean and Clear, dikemas dalam botol plastik dan gampang untuk digunakan. Ada dua kemasan yaitu 50 ml dan 100 ml.


Produk ini mengandung rose water, serta madu dan glycerin yang membantu menjaga kelembapan kulit dan disarankan untuk kulit normal, kusam dan berminyak (sumber: cleanandclear.co.id) dan produk ini bisa dengan efektif mengangkat kotoran, minyak, debu yang menyebabkan kulit kusan dan bisa jadi cerah alami!




Nah, dari pengalaman aku sendiri setelah menggunakan produk ini, aku ngerasa produk ini lebih cocok untuk kulit kering ke normal. Berbeda dengan facial foam, setelah digunakan produk ini tidak menimbulkan kesan kering di kulit, apalagi ketika sebelum tidur tuh. Biasanya kalau pakai facial foam biasa, rasanya kulit sangking keringnya ketarik gitu rasanya. Tapi produk ini juga engga menyumbat pori-pori dan konsistensinya sendiri itu oil free, dan karena aku sendiri kulitnya berminyak, menurut aku tetep cocok-cocok aja :)



Hanya, produk ini engga bisa mengangkat kosmetik loh ya, jadi harus bersihkan muka dulu dari makeup baru kita cuci muka dengan face wash ini untuk hasil yang maksimal! Aku sendiri daripada malam hari, aku lebih sering menggunakan produk ini di pagi hari :) Pas pakai produk ini, wanginya engga terlalu kenceng, ada wangi mawar sedikit aja engga terlalu kenceng. Konsistensi produk ini lebih ke arah gel, jadi ringan banget dan memang engga membuat busa sebanyak facial foam. Menurut aku, wanginya aja sih yang membedakan banget ketika digunakan 

So guys! Siap untuk mendapatkan kulit yang lebih cerah dengan Clean and Clear? Harganya cuma 25-26ribuan tapi aku yakin efek yang kamu dapatkan itu lebih! :D

PSST

Thank you See you around! xoxo

REVIEW: NATURE REPUBLIC PRO TOUCH MASTER SHADOW PALETTE (30 SHADES)

Hello!
Am I been gone too long?
Might be! Trying to be very strict to myself and will start to review more product from now on! I also made new logoooo yeah yeah! 

Short update: I did move to Seoul from February - May, just for a while for exchange program, and then I went again in early August so I had some products that I want to share, even though it might be not new ⭐ 





BRAND
NATURE REPUBLIC

PRODUCT NAME
PRO TOUCH COLOR MASTER SHADOW PALETTE

PRICE
KRW 49,800
(most of the time 50% off tho)

WEBSITE
OFFICIAL WEBSITE



But for today! I'm bringing a kinda new product from Nature Republic, it's Pro Touch Color Master Shadow Palette WOOHOOO - I watched this video from Holly in youtube and I was super super surprised when I heard Nature Republic will publish this eyeshadow palette, because in my mind NP is never really a winner in color makeup, but more to their skin and body care? Though I've heard that their blushers are good, I don't really hear about their eyeshadow so I think it's a very good chance for me to try their eyeshadow with this palette.




First the packaging, god it look expensive lol. And my second impression? It's.. super.......small LOL It's definitely smaller than my expectation (even tho Holly already showed the size of the palette, but I was like eiiii it wont be that small right because of how many shades are there - but yeah it's small). It's so small I want to say you can definitely bring it for travel (but again with much will I think every palette can be travel friendly lol). This palette didn't come with 1) mirror or 2) applicator.




taken from NatureRepublic.com

SHIMMERS: 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 24, 25
GLITTERS: 2, 23
MATTES: the others

From the first impression, it's definitely very impressed with the design, packaging and the colors. Most of the shades are warm, lots burgundy and purple on the first 3 rows and the rest are neutral browns, but they also include little cool toned shades especially for the mid tones shades for blending. Most of the eyeshadows are matte, only 9 out of 30 shades are either with shimmers or glitters.



Pigmentation wise the lighter colors are mostly hit or miss, with some have very chalky texture but none have too much fallouts. Some shades that are very disappointing (pigmentation wise) are the lightest shimmer shade and the sienna brown matte shade because from the first hand swatch they're obviously not showing any good result :( (tho the sienna brown one when using brush still have decent pigmentation idk why). Other than the lighter color, the darker shades tend to work better, and with this range of shades it's inevitable that we came across shades that are similar to each other, especially when applied.



Other than the pigmentation, the fallouts as I said before are minimum (which is surprising looking at how freakin chalky some of the shades are). For the lasting power, from the hand swatch session I've been removing them with makeup wipes and most (including the shimmers one) are easy to remove, almost too easy, but then again I found Korean eyeshadows are like that (easy to remove) but didn't have effect on lasting power. But for this palette, I found that at the end of the day, the pigmentation on my lid seems to be off? Like I made it super smokey when I left my house and come back with less-smokeyer-eyes?  hahahaha I want to try it with eyelid primer but I don't even have legit one because I never had problem like this before. But again, it didn't like totally disappeared from my lid tho so Thank God.

Blending was easy and even from the harsh blending session there's almost no fallouts

tutorial below!

Overall, do I regret the purchase? Absolutely not, I'm a big eyeshadow palette whore and I'm very surprised on how Korea makeup really did their best, at their own pace, to follow makeup trends from all over the world. I guess this palette is great for you peeps that just started loving makeup, that just venture out to more shades especially in this time when fall is coming. Remember, no applicator comes with this palette so make sure you have your own sets of brush if you're interesting in purchasing! I really had fun experimenting with this eyeshadow so here's a quick tutorial / how to / step-by-step on how I played with the palette:

REVIEW : Lippielust x Evete Naturals "LIP REMEDIES"


Halo semuanya!
Hari ini aku akan mereview produk dari local brand Indonesia, Evete Naturals yaitu Lip Remedies by Lippielust! Evete adalah brand yang dibuat di Jogjakarta, dengan konsep simple dan all natural ingredients. Aku yakin banyak dari para pembaca yang tahu Evete Naturals, atau bahkan sudah menjadi pelanggan setia dari Evete!

Evete Naturals kali ini berkolaborasi dengan Lippielust - Lippielust adalah blog dan account instagram yang dijalankan oleh ka Rissa, dan kalau lihat instagram-nya pasti langsung tahu (dari namanya juga) Lippielust banyak me-review lip product. Daaaan kita tahu banget kan sekarang jamannya pakai lip product yang liquid - super pigmented dan super long lasting?

Karena itu, Evete dan Lippielust membuat "Lip Remedies" kit - supaya bibir kita tetap terjaga!



      BRAND      
Evete Naturals

      PRODUCT NAME      
Lip Remedies by Lippielust

        type of product        
Lip balm, Lip Scrub, Lipstick Remover

      PRICE      
IDR 165.000


        sites        
Evete Naturals website (id)
Evete Naturals Instagram





Dalam kit ini, ada 3 product (and a thank you card!)
dengan urutan pakainya :
Lipstick Remover --> Lip Scrub --> Lip Balm

tentu aja urutannya engga mesti kayak gitu, misalnya lip scrub aku saranin lakukan seminggu 3 kali aja maksimum atau sebaiknya kurang kalau memang bibirnya engga begitu kering atau suka ngelupas :)


Ketiga produk ini punya wangi yang hampir-hampir mirip, bubble gum vanilla <3
personally, aku suka banget sama apapun yang wanginya vanilla-ish so I love the scent!
Satu kit ini mengandung shea butter, mango butter dan argan oil - dimana semuanya adalah bahan-bahan natural yang bagus untuk moisturising your skin :D


the ingredients

Pertama, aku mau bahas Lipstick Remover. Untuk Lipstick Remover, aku engga punya barang yang mirip - karena biasanya aku pakai pembersih muka aja.

Aku kaget banget habis cuci muka, semua udah skin care ok - lalu aku coba lip remedies kit ini, dan whatttt ternyata di bibirku masih banyak sisa lipstick yang belum ke-hapus! Lipstick remover ini bener-bener bisa angkat sisa-sisa lipstick - apalagi kalau lagi pakai liquid lipstick matte yang memang notabene susah banget untuk dihapusnya.


Lipstick Remover ini dalam bentuk tube - jadi gampang banget untuk di aplikasikan. Rasanya mirip dengan cleansing balm, yang membuat makeup itu rasanya meleleh ya ketika di aplikasikan - nah ini remover ini rasanya kayak gitu sis-sis!

Biasanya setelah aku aplikasikan, aku hapus sisa-sisanya dengan tisu basah / kering! :)

One thing that I noticed, Lipstick Remover ini hanya mengangkat sisa-sisa produk di bibir, tapi tidak mengangkat sisa "staining" dari lipstick. Menurut aku juga staining di bibir itu susah banget dihilangkan kalau memang nodanya membandel, dan pasti suatu saat hilang tanpa harus kita ubek-ubek. Tapi memang, yang lebih penting adalah supaya sisa produk itu bisa diangkat semua.

Kenapa sih mengangkat sisa produk di bibir itu penting??
Penting banget karena (ini based on personal experience loh ya) semakin banyak build-up (sisa produk yang menumpuk) bibir itu jadi semakin kering dan gampang banget ngelupas. DAN tekstur bibirmu akan susah jadi super smooth - bakal kelihatan banget apalagi kalau kamu pakai lipstick warna-warna vivid atau terang.

Tips~!
- Setelah di aplikasikan ke bibir kamu, usap perlahan dengan jarimu supaya produk lipstick lebih mudah dihapus dengan tisu.



Lip Scrub ini adalah sugar scrub, jadi wanginya memang lebih manis daripada yang lain karena, gula. :D

I'm pretty sure you guys know lah ya gimana cara pakai lip scrub! Dari produk ini yang aku suka adalah, lip scrubnya itu "basah". Rasanya konotasinya negatif ya, jadi gini, aku punya bubblegum lip scrub dari Lush - dan ketika sudah beberapa lama, "minyak"nya di lip scrub itu kayak mengendap di bawah - jadi kau harus simpan lip scrub itu kebalik biar minyaknya pindah lagi ke bawah. Sebenarnya minyaknya di bawah atau di atas engga ngaruh sih, maksudnya produknya tentu masih bisa dipakai. Hanya, rasanya itu kerinngg banget!



Nah, produk dari Evete ini sama sekali engga bikin kering. Padahal tahu kan, aktivitas nge-scrub itu bisa banget mengangkat kelembaban kulit di bibir juga. But don't worry!

Tips~!
- Kadang aku suka apply lip scrub dan membersihkan sisanya dengan tisu basah. Tapi, karena lip scrubnya itu ada gula pasir di dalamnya, jadi lengket-lengket. So, aku sarankan untuk selalu bersihkan dengan air supaya menghilangkan rasa lengket itu!


 Last but not least, lip balm!

Untuk lip balm, sebenarnya tidak usah ditanyakan lagi, Evete Naturals itu udah TOP banget dalam urusan lip balm. Tidak hanya setelah penggunaan lip scrub, tapi penggunaan lip balm juga rutin dipakai sebelum penggunaan lipstick.

Lip balm ini sangat moisturizing, dan yang paling aku suka adalah tidak ada rasa lengket yang tersisa. Lip balm ini aplikasinya tipis tapi tetap melembabkan, jadi aku personally engga perlu "blot" si lip balm sebelum menggunakan lipstick! :D Dannn buat aku lip balm ini memang kecil - tapi lamaaa bgt habisnya! Rajin-rajin dipakai aja masih sisa banyak <3



Overall, this set is PUURFECT! :D Aku suka semuanya dan everything works like the brand said it would! Sangat memuaskan. Terutama packagingnya (Evete gave me one for review purpose, but I bought another set because it's perfect for gift to my gurll <3) yang super cans!

Di masa yang lagi banyak banget liquid lipstick lokal maupun impor, I'm so happy Evete and Lippielust came out with a super cool innovation! Aku sendiri sudah menggunakan Evete (lip balm + body butter) dan tidak hanya efeknya aku suka, tapi wanginya itu lohh so nice!

1-5 is lipstick remover
6-8 is lipscrub
9 is lip balm

Ingat ya, pakai set ini tidak berarti sehari semalam bibir kamu jadi super hits dan smooth seperti Lippielust - tapi dengan pemakaian rutin efeknya pasti ada! Yang pasti, tidak ada efek samping karena bahan-bahannya natural semua :*

Thankyou Lippielust and Evete Naturals for the set!

REVIEW : Gudetama Lazy & Joy Cupcake Edition Eyeshadow Palette No. 1 Red Velvet


Heyo!
Today I'm going to review a quad palette from Holika-Holika "Gudetama Version 2 Lazy and Joy Cupcake Edition" in No. 1 Red Velvet! I still have some Gudetama product I haven't review, so please bear with me :3



      BRAND      
Holika-Holika

      PRODUCT NAME      
Gudetama Lazy and Joy Cupcake Eyeshadow

        type of product        
Eyeshadow Quad

       shade       
Red Velvet

      PRICE      
KRW 12.000


        sites        
Holika Holika Website (kr)


This palette is probably one of my favorite product from all the Gudetama product lineups. The Lazy and Joy Cupcake edition came up with 2 version, No.1 Red Velvet and No.2 Tiramisu. Like its name, the palette I have had a vivid red accent and warmer than the second one, Tiramisu - which have cooler, more neutral shades.





First, the packaging. While it looks like cheap - plasticy and that white shade tho. It feels not that cheap, as it's not that light in weight. Also it came with a real mirror - and no applicator inside.

But other than that, THE GUDETAMA THO I just cannot. The cupcake Gudetama + little story inside of the palette just made my heart stops. The small comic inside depict Gudetama revolution - from egg to cupcake and then from cupcake to his runaway to escape the fork. Can't get cuter really. I usually throw every plastic / box BUT THIS I CAN'T (tho this palette didn't come with a box - I still kept the plastic with Gudetama comic inside)



My Red Velvet palette have 4 shades, 

Earl Grey Chiffon = Matte base shadow, pink toned camel shade
Red Sugar = Sheer pink shadow with multi colored glitters
Red Velvet = Matte red brick shade
Dark Choco = Satin espresso shade



Oh right, I got this palette from Korea - I asked my friend to pick it up for me on her trip, thank you Vania!

Earl Grey Chiffon and Red Velvet is matte, Dark Choco is satin finish and Red Sugar is glittery.
All the shades seems to perform great - minimal fall out.
But Red Sugar - its pigmentation is low, almost contain no pigment besides its pink/reddish glitter.
At first, I don't really know what to do with Red Sugar because it doesn't really show up for inner corner highlight either - but! I then used it as a layer in my lid, over all the other eyeshadow and it was amazing!
Some of friends compliments me on my eye (since now blings and sparkles are everything right)
because it gave a right amount of sparks in the lid!

You can see from my screen shot in their website, the shades are pretty neutral - but irl, it's very dark red (Red Velvet). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE IT. Recently I'm obsessed with red eyeshadow, and all I have is in either a very burgundy-ish palette or in single shadow's - and now I have a palette with shades complimenting each other with RED! I brought this palette when I travel because it's so versatile :)


Overall, I love this palette - product wise and design wise! Gudetama is my spirit animal after all! Just a little note that this palette didn't really have a light shade to begin with - probably not a good choice for someone that just into makeup (you would want something more versatile like for example - Etude House "In The Cafe" Palette - and it also didn't come with an applicator, need your own brush/finger)

But if you're a Gudetama lover - design is awesome cute, pigmentation is ok, versatility so-so - still, I don't have similar palettes on my collection so if you're a makeup haul-er, I think it's a good catch!


Here's a makeup look I created with the Eyeshadow Palette!

Thank you so much for reading this review! Any question about the product, feel free to comment down below!

*Don't forget I have an ongoing GIVEAWAY*

Personally, I don't want to get all feely and melancholy but I just can't especially talking about this palette. If you follow and notice, when I first uploaded this palette as a haul, I had both of the palette, and I tagged Rini Cesillia from Rinicesillia.com - and if you don't know, she passed away at the end of last year. She's my best friend.

I bought both shades because I want to give the other palette for her. For her birthday present to be exact. I'm glad that I was able to deliver the palette to her, even though it's kinda late. 
But I still did - if I don't, there'll probably a huge amount of regret will linger still.
So, it's inevitable for me not to think about her when I used this palette.
Anyway, I just want to tell you guys the story, and how I came up with 2 palettes but I can only review one :)
Rest in peace, my sister.
I love you.
