The Good and The Forbidden

Lip Products I Carried on My Japan Trip

March 22, 2018 Leave a Comment

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.

LOTW – Rollover Reaction SUEDED!

October 17, 2016 Comments : 2

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.

The Effortless ADDICTION Cheek Stick Rose Bar

January 1, 2016 Leave a Comment

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.

LoTW: TATCHA Kyoto Red Silk Lipstick

November 30, 2015 Leave a Comment

More than a year ago, TATCHA posted a photo of Chloë Sevigny wearing a red lipstick and saying they’re coming out with one. I was head over heels and immediately put it on my wishlist.

How can I not?

The brand, as we know, is heavily inspired by the ancient geisha beauty rituals and their skincare line is built around the precious ancient book that Victoria Tsai, TATCHA‘s founder, came across on her travels to Japan. It was a brilliant move from TATCHA creating this piece because geisha and their signature red pouts are unquestionably inseparable.

TATCHA aptly named it Kyoto Red Silk Lipstick.

LoTW: Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope – Star System

August 18, 2015 Leave a Comment

Lo and behold.

I fall into the nude lip, deeply.

Who knew, the girl who wears the brights and bold on a daily basis could fall for something that’s “flat”? I think it’s ought to change. It’s surprisingly inevitable.

Because deep inside, I was longing for the other spectrum.

Clarins Lip Comfort Oil – WHY?!

July 21, 2015 Leave a Comment

OK, before I start, let me tell you that the product I’m about to make a review on is limited edition and it’s probably going to be tricky to acquire by now.

Wonk wonk wonk..

I contemplated on whether I should write about it or not, back and forth. It’s rather fruitless but I feel that this product worth a spot in TheFruitCompote.com.

So here it is, Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil 01 Honey.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

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

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.

Come closer 🍑 Come closer 🍑
Kalian pasti tau lah ya aku lagi obsessed sama @el Kalian pasti tau lah ya aku lagi obsessed sama @elemis_id Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm ini! 😻😻😻 Gimana gak, it offers A-Z experience, mulai dari teksturnya yang aduhai, wanginya yang bikin serasa lagi di spa bikin MEREM-MELEK dan tentunya kemampuan dia buat break down makeup, even makeup yang tebel, sebersih ituuuu! I actually have a review for this that you can read on here #TFCxElemis. Gila sih, ini langsung jadi one of my favorite first cleansers that I have ever tried in my years of using skincare! 

Apricot Toner is a western skincare classic menurutku yah, dimana biasanya toner itu dipakai buat angkat sisa2 residu yang mungkin masih nempel dan buat balance pH level. It has an apricot scent and it’s somewhat amusing for me to smell it. It comes in a spray bottle. Bisa disemprot ke kapas, swipe gently sambil di pat-pat. Atau bisa juga spritz allover and anytime we feel like we need some refreshment.

Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, si moisturizer rasa bantal hehe. This one has marine and plant extracts such as Padina Pavonica (a type of brown algae), Chlorella (green algae), Porphyridium Cruentum (red algae) and Ginkgo Biloba. Aku belum bisa cerita banyak other than I feel ini plumping effect-nya lumayan dapet di kulitku, terutama kalo berasa kulit lagi lacking volume. It’s a gel cream, rather lightweight jadi buat pagi hari masih cucok. For nighttime, I may layer thicker or add/mix oil underneath. 

In case you didn’t know, Elemis punya butik di Plaza Indonesia lho. Temen-temen disini bisa beli produk2nya di website id.elemis.com atau Whatsapp Personal Shopper di +6282277581818 sekalian konsultasi dan buat dapetin info promo lainnya. Special for the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, ukuran 20 gram lagi promo jadi 180 ribu aja!

Yang udah terjerumus, mari merem-melek bareng2 😂

Salah satu guilty pleasure-slash-distraction kalo Salah satu guilty pleasure-slash-distraction kalo aku lagi banyak pikiran: collecting new nail polishes, one at a time.. Atau kalo lagi pengen cheap thrills, walaupun ini gak murah2 amat 😂 Mikirnya bisa lamaaa banget cuma buat milih 1-2 warna.. Pas dateng dipandangi aja udah bikin seneng ☺️

Trus indecisive lagi deh mau pake yang mana duluan 🥲

It’s a good distraction though.

Ada yang begini juga gak? 😌

Makeup rasa First Care Activating Serum? Cuma ada Makeup rasa First Care Activating Serum? Cuma ada di @sulwhasoo.indonesia Perfecting Makeup! 😻 Yep, di range ini ada JAUM Activator™️ yang jadi main gig di FCAS buat skin barrier. The Skin Caring Makeup concept gak cuma stop disitu aja karena ada Plum Blossom extract yang ada di Bloomstay Vitalizing series (wanginya pun 💕)! Ada beta-glucan dari Schizophyllum commune (Splitgill Mushroom) untuk menahan kelembapan kulit. Mereka juga punya THRU AIR COVER Tech™️ yang bikin formulanya nyaman dipakai dan kulit tetap “bernapas”.

Mulai dari Perfecting Foundation dulu. Awalnya, aku kira ini tipe foundation yang bakal skin-like, natural-vibe gitu. Ternyata di aku hasilnya itu keliatan lagi dandan, tapi gak medok dan gak cakey juga. Coverage is more like a medium and buildable. Di aku, satu pump cukup banget buat even out my skin tone and covers some of the more faint spots. Ada 5 shade: 17C Cool Vanilla, 17N Vanilla, 21C Cool Beige, 21N Beige, 23N Sand, 25N Amber - I use 21N.

Perfecting Powder is a loose powder, tapi rasanya tuh kayak compact powder yang dihancurin, if that makes sense. It’s not the most finely milled dan pakai sedikit aja udah cukuppp. It mattifies the skin tapi gak keliatan powdery, langsung ngeblend. Uniknya, aku merasa si Powder ini kok moisturizing yah? Ternyata, ada Squalane dan teknologi “moisture coating powder” buat balance sebum tapi gak bikin kulit kering. I even notice there’s water in the ingredient list! 😱 Ada 3 shade: 01 Transparent, 21N Beige, 23N Sand - I use 21N as well. Yang 01 Transparent juga bisa kupakai dan ini ada slight pinkish brightening effect to it.

Secara performa, ini yang bikin aku kaget sih! Dua-duanya punya kemampuan oil control yang UWOW! 😱 Bisa nahan oil berjam-jam dan kalo pun uda mulai shiny, gak bikin complexion-ku jadi blentang-blentong. Yang ada makin nyatu sama kulitku. They combine the best of both worlds, moisturizing makeup that can last for all day. I think both oily and dry skin types can appreciate these!

Beberapa Perfecting Makeup udah ada di Lazada dan akan segera hadir lengkap di counter department stores dan Sulwhasoo Boutique Store!
