DiorShow Liner Waterproof Plum – Happy Accident

October 15, 2014

Once upon a time, I was waiting for a DiorShow Art Pen in Cruise Blue to come into my mail. I was really excited when I got my package. However, half-opening the package, I knew something wasn’t right. My guess was true, I was sent a wrong item. I was a little bit disappointed but that disappeared quickly because the mistakenly-sent item was actually on my list-to-get after the blue liner. So, is it a yay? YAY, indeed.

Meet my current favorite liner, DiorShow Liner Waterproof Plum/Prune.

Pictured together with Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow in Midnight Plum. Together, they have been my current staples for the past 2 months or so.

Let me tell you a little bit of background. I don’t really like to wear a black eyeliner. I find it to be rather harsh against my eyes. I have small eyes with sparse, thin lashes. Wearing a black eyeliner would just look too stark in contrast, as if there’s a gap I can’t fill. Which is why I opt for dark, blackened brown eyeliner on a daily basis. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Caviar Ink has been my go-to. I love the deep brown shade, it’s definitely not black, but it’s enough to give some definition to my lash line without going overboard. I have been using this for years.

However, after playing around with DiorShow Liner Waterproof Plum, I’ve been neglecting the Bobbi Brown. Not that I ditch it for eternity, it’s just that the urge to go plum is too strong!

The plum shade itself is gorgeous. It’s deep, slightly blackened, which is perfect for my no-black-liner preference. To my surprise, it’s pigmented from the get go. It’s matte and it doesn’t tug my eyes. The formula gives me just enough time to use an eyeliner brush and create a flick at the end. And boy, it sets and stays. The whole friggen day.

I like to apply Burberry Midnight Plum on top of it for a softer effect. And/or smudge it under the outer lower lash line for a more-obvious plum look.

The result? It’s addictive. It’s subtle but surprisingly noticeable to those meticulous, trained eyes. It gives the definition that I needed for my eyes, with something extra on the side.

*drum rolls*

Because I’m not experimental in eye makeup, I stick to my neutrals. In the photo above, I was wearing either Burberry Pale Barley or Rouge Bunny Rouge Bohemian Waxwing on my lid. Sorry, for some reason I couldn’t remember which one! But, those two are neutrals that I usually stick with.

On certain moods, I like to pair the Dior plum liner with a darker eyeshadow like Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicate Hummingbird. Here’s an FOTD I posted on Instagram a while ago. The eye shadow, a beautiful, rather complex shade that has a notably plum tone, matches so well with with the liner.

I personally think the plum liner look perfectly fine with a bright red lip too. As a matter of fact, DiorShow Liner Waterproof Plum seems to go with any lip color I pair it with. I’ve always considered dark purples/plums are neutrals. And I think I’m right.

It’s a happy accident indeed. It’s even better because I know for sure I won’t use the blue liner as often as this one *HA!* I have a feeling that I will finish this liner in no time soon. And that means a repurchase 🙂

Do you love plum liner as much as I do? Share your thoughts!

I thought I’m set on my wishlist, now I have a f I thought I’m set on my wishlist, now I have a few more 🥺 The CHANEL Masterclass definitely helped me in developing a new sense of perspective. I love that fragrance isn’t always about figuring out the notes, but more on the inspiration, story and how it makes one feel. It’s a unique journey to each their own, both the perfumer and the wearer.

I’m just gonna write it down here: Beige, Gabrielle Essence, Jersey and perhaps 1932. 

What’s yours?

[ S A V E ] It’s no secret that I love @clarinsi [ S A V E ] It’s no secret that I love @clarinsid Bright Plus range, ini salah satu brightening series yg paling AMPUH di aku dan yang bisa balikin warna natural skin tone aku yang aslinya agak pink ini ☺️ - sampe beberapa foundation ku gak cocok lagi shadenya 🥲

Having to use the Serum for over a year already, begitu aku tau Ampoule-nya akan launch, tentu aku HARUS cobain juga 😍

I’ve been using it since late February and it definitely does deliver results ✨ Berhubung aku uda hafal dengan kinerja si Serum, aku bisa bilang si Ampoule ini kerjanya jauh lebih cepat dan nendang! Lebih cerah, dark spots yg lebih gelap memudar, dan rosiness-nya tetep dapet!

As I said, sebaiknya pakai 4 Ampoule selama sebulan, commit to it and see the difference. Tapi setelah 2 Ampoule pun udah keliatan kok.

Bisa buat bantu pudarin PIH setelah acne gak? Bisa, tapi pastiin jerawatnya udah beres ya..

Berhubung ini kandungan Vit C-nya 15%, gotta be prepared ya! Make sure to use hydrating & calming products preferably. Harus banget pakai sunscreen, it helps to prolong the performance of Vitamin C, and together they will boost skin’s sun defense capabilities!

Use my code KAE100K untuk dapat potongan di www.clarins.co.id! Kalo first timer dapet 10% off lho! Existing customer 100K with min. purchase 1 mio. Belanja 1.2 mio dapet 3 freebies. Saranku ya sabet si Bright Plus Fresh Ampoulet set! 😆 Udah dapat 4 pcs dan bisa langsung kalian pake untuk intensive brightening treatment!

The lips are so dry, thanks to mouth ulcer aka sar The lips are so dry, thanks to mouth ulcer aka sariawan 😌 so a balmy lippie it is.. the kind that will help to protect and smooth the flaky bits, but still gives some color..

The @cledepeaubeaute I’m using is unfortunately a limited edition shade 513 from the Lip Glorifier line. That being said, Lip Glorifier is one of my go-to daily lip balms. It’s also a good base for another lip color on top. Moisturizing but not too slick or wet, making it suitable to go with matte formula without changing the finish too much.

Maybe I’ll do a separate reel to showcase the beauty of Lip Glorifier soon ☺️

JANGAN JOROK, plis 😌 Clearly, washing makeup to JANGAN JOROK, plis 😌 Clearly, washing makeup tools is IMPORTANT for hygienic reasons, setidaknya mencegah jerawat karena makeup tools yg kotor. Trust me, I’m speaking from experience 🥲

Interestingly, kalo dari sales orang Jepang sendiri malah tidak menyarankan untuk sering2 cuci brush (demi menjaga struktur bulu kuasnya) - tapiiii they recommend to spot cleanse. Jadi tiap kali pake bisa lap2 di tissue atau bisa juga pakai instant brush spray cleanser.

However, I tried this and found out I’m not diligent enough to do it. In the end, a proper deep cleanse is best and needed. Yang penting cari cleanser yg cocok dan gak bikin bulunya megar atau bahkan crispy (suer ini horor banget).

A big NO-NO is to dunk or even soak the entire brush into water. Just NO 😰 It could ruin the ferrule, disintegrate the glue holding the handle and bristles.. cuci bagian bulunya aja udah paling aman 👌🏼

Pas jemur, aku suka ganjel sedikit bagian handle dengan handuk biar brush dan sisa airnya turun kebawah. Never store wet brushes upright. For reasons above.

I also like to put a fan in front of the brushes, biar keringnya lebih cepat dan merata, terutama buat brush yg lebih besar dan padat. Lumayan sehari aja bisa kering, biasanya bisa 2-3 harian.

Oh, powder puff dan cushion puff dicuci juga ya. I know not all of them can be washed (some disintegrate), tapi kalo bisa ya cuci hehe.

So, have you cleaned your makeup tools? 👀
