The Good and The Forbidden

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.

LoTW: TATCHA Kyoto Red Silk Lipstick

November 30, 2015

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

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.

LoTW: Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crèmes

July 4, 2015

For Spring 2015 collection, Marc Jacobs Beauty released a new formula for his lipstick line named Le Marc Lip Crème. This line replaces the Lovemarc Lip Gel that was a part of the permanent line up when the brand debuted on August 2013.

I have here with me today, 6 out of the 20 shade offerings (that were named after iconic women that have inspired Marc throughout his life) from the collection that I’m excited to show you. Hang back, sit tight and relax. This is going to be a treat, for the eyes.

LoTW: Tom Ford Lip Color True Coral

June 18, 2015

“Oh, hi there!

You have sit in my wishlist ever since I discovered your existence a few years ago. Yes, you. You in that gorgeous shade. I waited for so long before I finally got the opportunity to see you in person and bring you back home with me.

Now that you’re here, let’s fill out this memories book, shall we?”

Call me mad as a hatter but the story is true. I waited, and waited. I hold off getting True Coral for the longest time even though I had a lot of chances. I know it’s going to be mine, but I want to pick this beauty up myself. It needed to be that way.

On The Go – Touch Ups and Essentials

June 3, 2015

Carrying a small bag is a challenge. I used to carry a LOT of stuff in my bag. The bags alone can weigh quite substantially. Adding a wallet, keys, charger, myriad of lipsticks.. I got myself a potato sack.

Earlier this year, I change things up by getting a small bag, Céline Trio. For the better, because I didn’t regret it at all and actually should’ve done it sooner. Alas, I was picky about which bag to choose. A smaller bag means downsizing and prioritizing, something that I was very excited about.

This post will cover beauty products I carry on a daily basis and when I go to a special occasion.

LoTW: Tom Ford Lip Color Matte 03 Pink Tease

March 25, 2015

On my trip to Hong Kong last November, one of the things in my beauty wish list was to get the fairly-new Tom Ford matte lipstick offerings in Black Dahlia and others. But to my disappointment, the Beauty Advisor told me that the counter only carry a couple of shades for now and was unsure if Hong Kong will carry the whole line up.

Feeling a little bummed, I gave the only two shades available a swatch and decided that I might be able to work this particular shade that I ended up getting.

It’s the Tom Ford Lip Color Matte 03 Pink Tease.

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? 👀
