June Favorites

Hello! NOW my summer break is officially started, and honestly I don't know what to do really. And really really soon, July is coming and that means 2014's second half is here! I'll introduce you shortly about products that I've been loving this past month!

First, skin care - I've been really enjoying using this Sebum Oil Control Cream from SN-T, honestly I had no idea what brand it is, but I got it from Memebox's Lucky Box. It had this really watery and gel texture, perfect for oily & acne/blemish prone skin, it's light and refreshing, just enough moisture for the summer!

Since June is filled with a lot of projects and I basically stand up all night for almost a week straight (damn you finals!). Not only the darkness in my eyes that got worse and worse (they're quite dark normally. sigh) they're almost like stripped from all this moisture and the lines are getting more and more obvious. I definitely need a emergency safety kit here, so I decided to pick up these eye patch from N.M.F Aquaring Gel Eyefill Patch from Mediheal. I used it twice a week and let it for maximum 40 minutes. The eye patches are like gel, so it really cools down and feels like it reduces the darkness in my eyes.

Once, a Bobbi Brown makeup artist told me that spraying mist before any makeup is helping the makeup to actually stays on, because it cools down the face before 'warming' up the face with all the makeup. Call it a habit, but I always sprayed a face mist before makeup and it's feels really good. This time i'm using Aritaum's Baby Face Mist in Power Hyaluronic Acid - it's light and the most important thing : it's not sticky to the face.

Hanging out under the sun is pretty much what I do recently all the time, really Korea's Summer is almost twice hotter than Indonesia's normal weather! And one thing that my mom frequently remind me to do : always, always put on sunscreen. Yep, here I am with my favorite (maybe all the time favorite really.) the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence with SPF50+ PA+++. Not only it's realllllly light on the skin, it's scent is just heavenly and this cooling effect is just, PERFECT!

I personally like the 3CE's Velvet Pore Primer more than the 3CE Pore Silky Balm, but since I got the Velvet Primer almost in the end of the month, i found that I used the Pore Silky Balm more this month - and I gotta be fair, right?

And topping the primer with Innisfree's Long Wear Cushion #23, some concealer & powder, and that's it, that's my face products of the month! (Funny that I'm pretty sure after I wrote all of these, people still gonna ask me what I use everyday, and bla-bla, I mean, do people actually read what I wrote? Or do they just scroll through all the pics? Really?)

If you've been reading my blog long enough, you'll probably know that I'm a bronzer kinda gal and this month my favorite is Tony Moly's Crystal Blusher in #07 Bronzing Brown. I think I've gone through 3 of these, crazy right? It's cheap, the color showed up great in me (it used to be too light for me, but it's not right now!). I hadn't wrote a review for these actually, I don't know why, but I think maybe that time I purchased this the pictures just didn't came out nicely and I probably just skipped it. Anyway, it's a good affordable product!

For a bronzer-kinda-gal to put a blusher to a favorite, that must be a big thing. This Skin Food Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher in Orange Rouge is my best friend this month. Sometime I just felt to washed out with high coverage foundation and this just brought a slight color to my cheek, just to help everything looks 'healthy'

3CE one color shadow in Cinnamon is also my go to eyeshadow color, it's a matte brown with slight grayish tone in it. I'm going to make a separate post on my 3CE's one color eyeshadow collection, so stay tune for that! Usually I use this color to contour my lid and also the outer V, with Innisfree's Shadow Pencil in Soft Milktea in my lid to give a little bit of dimension.

I got many compliments (thank you guys :") from wearing this particular lip color from 3CE Creamy Lip Color #joyce - and I began to reach for it almost all the time really :D

Last, but definitely not least, is my body spray that I've bee abusing everyday, it's "Dream More" from GAP. I got this last May in Japan, when GAP had this Golden Week sale and I think I got this half off the price. Really like the scent, it's floral but still sweet, the perfect Spring scent. I have to change to summer scent now really, probably gonna still use it once in a time.

Thankyou so much for reading! xx

REVIEW : Etude House's Minime "Be My Princess" Collection - Ms. Sunshine (Taemin)

Before I began writing this post, I was eating a 짜빠게티 (JJapagheti) Ramyon, and it was GOOOOOOD. Just a warning to not eat the cup one! That one tastes awful! But the cooked one tastes so good I want me some more! Graa!

Ok, before the review, I just want to share something for you guys! If you read my blog posts, you'll know how often Korean Brands do a membership events or sale, and yes they do it quite often here! But I know a lot of you living overseas does not have the choice but to pay the original price (plus shipping! No!!) 

So I stumbled upon this!

CLICK HERE to go to the facebook page! (only on PC). They might not have that much of variaties to choose from, but the prices are so low, it'll win you all in a limbo game!!!! (sorry..) 

The products are discounted from 60% and up, and you guys Indonesian, the shipping prices is only USD 3! You'll be shocked at the price range! So go ahead and check if the products you eagerly want to try is there or not! (Limited stocks!)

To the REVIEW! 

that's a mouthful title. Anyway! I'm here back to review (or rather show and tell) Etude House's product Minime "Be My Princess" Collection - Ms. Sunshine (Taemin), and if you can't figure out what the product is, it's a fragrant mist. And I must warn you it's a limited edition.

And I must say they did a great PR going on here, so the story behind of these little fragrances are Shinee's way to describe their 'Ideal Girl'. This one is Taemin's and 4 others stand for each other Shinee members.

Here is the Promotional Video, which showing that Shinee's members are designing the fragrance and the packaging by themselves, describing how their 'Ideal Girl' looks like :


Taemin's ridiculous description for her ideal type girl Along those 5 fragrance available, I like this the most and sorry to say Jonghyun's the least. I definitely not choosing this based on my Shinee bias! No! But I do like Key's one (my real bias) but I've decided I'll only buy one so I decided to buy this one. Retail for KRW 15.000, it's KRW 2.000 more than the last limited edition!  The Ms. Sunshine fragrance is so sweet, but still very fresh. If I have to compare with the Minime World Traveler Edition - Ms. Cutie, Ms. Cutie (the yellow one) is much more lemon-y, but this Ms. Sunshine is much more fruity.

They fragrance lingers around for some time, I can't say it lingers all day long because it's not a perfume but a fragrance mist. Comparing those two I definitely says the Ms. Sunshine lingers longer than Ms. Cutie.  And packaging wise, Ms. Sunshine is more sturdier and prettier, I must say. 

You can took the cap off and stick them up your headphone plug in your phone!
Overall I like this mist, it's smells really good and very suitable for the upcoming summer! I think Etude House's Minime collection improves every year, I mean I really hate the original one but I began to like them more as the collection expands!  If you're Shawols, I must say this is a must have collection then, might not be as bad because they're super cute and smells awesome! (There's no Kim Soohyun's ideal girl perfume out there?.....ok)
