Hy! 

Back to a 3CE product review today <3 Today I'm bringing you a review for Watergloss, a product relatively new from Stylenanda.

Sleek black with a respective shade band in the middle to make sure you didn't grab the wrong one if you have several of these. I love the fact that they make a different packaging for this particular product instead of just going with their lip lacquers packaging design. 

Even though it's named by 'gloss' - I'm pretty sure they marketed these to be a lip tint instead. Of course you can use this as a lip gloss on top of other lip product, but this product is pigmented enough to stand on its own. 

The whole collection consists of 10 shades, with mostly bright color they have everything from orange-y shades, red, pink, plum to purple-ish shades. The applicator is very similar to their lip lacquers, it's slanted and smaller on the tip - making it easier to make gradient lips color and for precise application since most of the shades are so bright in color. 

#Switch On is a cool tone pink shade, definitely it looks less neon-y in real life! 

As the name suggest, this product has a very glossy finish. And for the better, it doesn't contain any bit of shimmer / glitter / or anything bling-bling inside, it's just has this very glossy sheen over. Almost like I covered my lips with a layer of water. So glossy and shiny - in a very good way.

Though from the swatch you can see how pigmented this product is, the reality is when applied to the lips you can see your natural lip color peeking through. 

Usually most glossy product has this stickiness in exchange to its longevity - this? has 0 stickiness. 

I see that the glossy sheen will be gone after a while, but it still stains my lips so it doesn't really disappear completely even after the gloss is gone. 

Glossy finish lip product is definitely more forgiving for people that is prone to lip crack. I would recommend this for people with dry lips. Even though you might still need lip balm underneath, this product isn't drying at all. 

Also I think it kinda blurs my lips line too. As someone with wrinkly lips, I notice that the gloss overall make my overall lips appearance better. 

The glossy finish also have this plumping effect and an overall giving my lips a healthier look! 

I love this! I thought the shade would be too neon for me, but apparently the pigmentation isn't as strong as I expect, which is great.  

I haven't tried on a top of other product, like for a lip gloss, but I think it'll work great too!

Still, the price is probably the only factor for me to not repurchase this / trying other shade. lol :( 

Ok, so that's it for my Watergloss review! Now to my "No Mercy" rant (it may contain spoiler from episode 9 - don't read if you no want spoiler!) :


First, I don't know what to feel any more since Yunho been kicked out from the program. I'm probably started to lose my sh*t after they add a new member to the show AFTER kicking some of the members. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the ones being kicked out so it's definitely not a super heart broken moment for me.

I found the program to be hilarious - plus all the drama surrounding the show (comments on their youtube channel is definitely worth to read.) I will watch the show until the end, yeah I know only 1 episode to go, but I'm not sure that I can support them after the show.

Here's my perfect "No Mercy" debut lineup :

1. Shownu (leader & 맏형 oldest)
2. Jooheon (main rapper)
3. #gun (rapper and he can be the funny guy)
4. Gihyeon (main vocal)
5. Wonho
6. Minhyuk (visual 담당)
7. Yunho (supposedly. Now I.M can be the maknae)

Sorry HyungWon and SeokWon, Hyungwon you can be a model if you like and SeokWon, how about a duo with Yunho? I'm sorry, but really, the more they say how "Hyungwoon" is the "Visual" of the group - the less "visual" he looks for me.

Probably after the last episode and the final debut lineup, "No Mercy" will probably lose some fans and they have to produce a friggin' good music if they want to stand strong in the business. Hip-hop Idol groups are A LOT these days and beating YG's hip-hop groups is definitely a big mountain they have to go over. Especially Winner, since their songs are pretty much played every where in Korea.

So yeah, just wanna say that recently I've been watching No Mercy every week, let's just support the kids and good luck for them and let's see if my lineup does come true or not lol

JAPAN 2015 東京二０一五年

A little picture diary of my Japan trip last month! I consider this as a birthday gift from my parents for me lol I know I'm really blessed to be able to visit a dream country of mine twice in less than a year!

This time me and my sis just hang out around Tokyo, we stay in the coziest, cleanest airbnb ever in Shibuya. Though you might feel claustrophobic in the bathroom, or in most places in Tokyo basically.

Through this 5 days trip, we travel around Shibuya (duh), Harajuku, Ueno, Asakusa, Ginza, and DISNEYSEA. Gosh, nobody is too old for Mickey!

I'm waiting for the day when Japan will be a free-visa country for Indonesia passport holder (yeah I can just register for an e-passport) because I will definitely looking forward for my third visit - and the fact that both me and my sis had some trouble with our visa application, glad that it's all straighten out an I'm safely flying out to Tokyo.

One thing that I can be sure from this trip is that my Japanese skill has hit rock bottom. I think 3 languages are my limit. Good bye Japanese, you'll be missed :(

Haul soon!

REVIEW : Moonshot's Perfection Dark Spot Concealer in Light Medium

Hey! It's been quite a while since my last post isn't it? :( Sorry! Been away for a while for a short trip to Japan last week and right now I really need to collect every power that I have to resume (and to unpack) to a more productive week! :))

Also! I read every bit of your lovely comments, it's just I have a very bad habit to not replying to comments (or chats - seriously my friends are so mad about this habit of mine.) IF you do have a very important questions for me, please do email me on mysugarcoffee@hotmail.com - I will get to you asap!

Now, the last product from my "Moonshot" saga is, the concealer! Moonshot Perfection Dark Spot Concealer in Light Medium 01!

       BRAND

        shade

Still, and again, super love the pixel symbol on the cap. The packaging is overall very sleek, just a square tube with a black, matte cap. Doesn't look and feel cheap at all! And, the cap actually clicks nicely when I closes it, making sure that the angles meet each other - OCD people you'll love it (looking at you, 3CE nail polishes - I hate the fact that I have to match your stupid angle every time!) 

The duffle applicator is actually not as hard - it's really flexible comparing to other concealer with similar applicator that I have. Which is actually really nice because it can maneuvre nicely between the side of my nose (I need concealer on that place the most.)

The concealer itself came in 3 shades, I chose the middle shade, so imagine there's one lighter and one darker shade of mine.

The concealer is not thick in consistency, almost watery I must say. But the coverage is awesome considering how watery it is!

Also, I don't need a lot of the concealer to cover up anything. I can use it for my under eye or for my acne / blemishes. But I do think this works better for blemishes.

One thing is it sets into a very matte finish, making it look kinda dry - or cakey even. This concealer is definitely can't be use alone (without bb cream / foundation / any other face base product) because it'll look weird, especially for the under eye.

Considering how 'dry' this concealer looks after it sets, I think this concealer will be better for people with normal to oily skin. It has a great coverage too, which I know a lot of oily people will need to cover redness / acne scars.

If you have a super dry under eye area, you might not want to use this concealer for your under eye.

Overall, looking how small the amount I need to cover anything, i think this concealer will stay with me for a long time. I know this concealer isn't Moonshot's best product, almost nobody in naver blog even reviewed / purchased / or show even any interest to this product. Nevertheless, I'm a concealer addict, I need to try this and I think this concealer is above satisfactory! 

Also, the shade matches my skin perfectly! It doesn't look too yellow / pink / or orange on my skin :) 

Thankyou for reading! I changed my post's layout a bit, what do you think? :)
