The Good and The Forbidden

J.One Jelly Pack – Original and Black

October 3, 2018

I couldn’t quite remember exactly when was the first time I heard the hype on J.One Cosmetic. I only remember that many people were saying that it’s the super sticky primer.

After the success of J.One Original Jelly Pack, Ha Ji-won (the founder, a popular Korean actress, and trendsetter), launched another one into the line, Black Jelly Pack. Now this time, I was more intrigued.

Hey Glow was kind to sent me these two products for me to try. I’ve used them for the past few months and I’m ready to share my thoughts.

Lip Products I Carried on My Japan Trip

March 22, 2018

On our honeymoon trip, I didn’t bring a single conventional lipstick. I didn’t want to bother with my makeup too much because it will affect the time we go out in the morning, even during the day. I wanted things to be simple, quick and easy, including touch-ups. And of course, it has to be moisturizing.

I guess you could say, these are the official my lip products of choice.

My Eyebrow Essentials

March 24, 2017

When it comes to eyebrows, I’m pretty sure we all went several phases before finding the right one for us. Even so, it’s still evolving because we’ll find different ways to improve it or adjust it every now and then. Moreover, finding the products that suit the skin and the color of the brows can be quite challenging on its own. One thing for sure, there are times when I look back and say “what was I thinking with these brows?!”.

After passing a few of awkward periods, I’m finally happy with the brow routine that I’m in. The product selections are right for my skin tone and work well with the natural condition of my brows; fairly thin, but dark hair and a little sparse.

Full details after the jump!

LOTW – Rollover Reaction SUEDED!

October 17, 2016

This is a very long overdue review. This brand, shall I say, sparked a fire in the Indonesian beauty scene. It has also become one of the pioneers to inspire the local beauty industry to up the game. Everything about it is very different than the usual local selection. Finally. A brand that I can proudly wear and tell.

Rollover Reaction, a catchy name for a brand, with a tagline of “cosmetics for the creatively inclined”. launched earlier this year on March 2016. Since its inception, the brand is already breaking different doors and filling the yearning of a cool, indie local beauty brand.

My Picks for Easy Contour and Subtle Shadows

May 19, 2016

It’s true. Makeup are there to make us look prettier. It’s there to enhance our features. To make us more confident. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

As for myself, I feel my face lacks the definition, stronger lines. I opt for contour powders to make up what’s missing. Below, I’m going to share you the products that I use to achieve it.

The Anti Fleek Highlighter – ADDICTION Cheek Polish Reflection

February 15, 2016

Hopefully, the title won’t offend anyone who likes the super shiny, right-in-your-face highlighters. There’s nothing wrong. It’s just not my thing and I prefer the understated, low-key makeup look in general.

Just so it’s clear, I rarely wear highlighters. I know for sure I do not master the art of highlighting. So for me to get a highlighter, in no less of a liquid formula, that’s like being obnoxious. But when I saw it on Noodles’ Instagram, I knew I can pull this off.

The Effortless ADDICTION Cheek Stick Rose Bar

January 1, 2016

This is clearly an overdue review. I should’ve reviewed this long ago but managed to being ignorant about it. That alone should tell you how much I love this product. However, realizing that I only have half of this left, it’s about time to do the deets 😀

Long time followers would know that I’m obsessed with ADDICTION by Ayako (here and here). The Japanese brand has an extensive, yet still well curated selection of products. It oozes simplicity with a modern edge. Its biggest charm for me are the cheek items. I find them to be very unique and incredibly versatile. Obviously, they left me wanting more. And more.

Meet the one product that has been in my constant makeup routine for months, ADDICTION by Ayako Cheek Stick in Rose Bar.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Sunscreen at daytime, always.
Double Cleanse at night, a must!

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

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? 👀
