The Good and The Forbidden

Kanebo Chrono Beauty – Japanese Skincare at its best

June 5, 2018

Last year, I got the chance to try out Kanebo’s newest line of skincare called Chrono Beauty. This line speaks to my heart as someone who appreciates the importance of maintaining a good, solid skincare routine. Because after all, healthy skin requires a long-term commitment. And of course, I’m partial to Japanese skincare.

Just a heads up, I absolutely adore this line and I’m really relieved that I finally can write down my thoughts about the line and the products I’ve tried. Some of the products have been an integral part of my routine, including prepping my skin for our big day last November.

Let’s begin!

Shiseido ULTIMUNE, Quite The Booster

April 21, 2015

One of last year’s skincare product releases that I was very eager to try is the Shiseido ULTIMUNE Power Infusing Concentrate. There is just something about it that spoke to me when I first started seeing it surfacing across the net. It was everywhere…

Of course here in Indonesia, we get everything late. So I made a mental note to get this on my trip to Hong Kong in last November. To my surprise, I didn’t know that there are different sizes. I decided to get the 50 ml bottle. I got it at SASA, there was a promotion going on and I paid HKD 688 for this. It was the first thing that I bought when I stepped into one of the many shops and I couldn’t be more happier.

So happy that I used it at my first night staying in Hong Kong.

Innisfree Haul – Straight from Korea!

April 14, 2015

I had mentioned sometime ago that the only Korean brand that I’m interested in (as of now) is Innisfree. The brand is simple, low profile with its natural ingredients and green approach. It has a lot of charm but doesn’t have that fancy-schmancy, full of gimmick-thing going on.

When my cousin told me about her plans visiting Korea and her, being so kind had offered if I wanted something from there, naturally, I said “Innisfree!”

I set up a list and she managed to get them all 😀

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.

His & hers POV. His & hers POV.
It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the laun It’s a beautiful sunny day, celebrating the launch of @jomalonelondon’s Blossoms Collection 2022, with Sardinian Summer as theme, right at the beachside 🧡 Warm weather, wind blowing swiftly and continuously, paired with greens, sparkling sand, clear blue sky and jeweled-colored sea. It’s picturesque.

For this collection, there are three, two new fragrances and one existing. They are Sea Daffodil, Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom. The notes are light, airy and flowing. Usually summer scents can be a little too strong on the citrus, tangy-acidic side, but these are put together that don’t make me feel heady.

I’m loving Sea Daffodil and it’s my number one pick from the collection. A mixture of Pink Pepper, Mandarin Orange as starters, Sea Daffodil and Ylang-Ylang as the heart, Sandalwood, Madagascar Vanilla and Vetiver to ground everything. Result? A smile-inducing scent. There’s this hint of sweet & creaminess that pulled me in right away. I close my eyes and I get the reference of that warm summer with the soft notes.

I’ll head down to the boutique soon to sniff Bitter Mandarin and Silk Blossom again. I have a feeling the latter might come home with me. It layers so effortlessly with Sea Daffodil and I can imagine it singing together with other scents too ♥️

Slide until the end 👀 I’ve always said the f Slide until the end 👀

I’ve always said the foundation of a healthy skin is hydration 💦 Gak perlu jauh2 dulu, fokus di hidrasi aja udah bisa bikin perubahan yg berarti. Basic skincare itu gak boleh dianggep remeh 👌🏼
 
Meet @blpskin Tremella Daily Hydrating Series! Dari namanya aja udah kebayang, Tremella - Daily - Hydrating. Tremella Fuciformis, atau yg kita kenal sebagai jamur kuping putih/snow fungus (sering kita makan di Peach Gum dessert) - ini jadi hero ingredient di produk2nya. As an alternative to Hyaluronic Acid, dia bisa menahan air 500x dari beratnya sendiri. Molekulnya juga lebih kecil dari lebih mudah diserap. Dia juga bisa kasi semacam lapisan film untuk membantu jaga skin barrier dan menahan kelembapan itu sendiri.
 
“Daily” di sini berarti these products are for everyday use! Straight-forward sekali! Cleanser - Toner - Serum - Moisturizer dengan fokus yang teramat jelas, hydration. Selain Tremella, tiap produk juga ada tambahan ingredient berbeda dengan tujuan masing2. Gak susah buat dimengerti, gak perlu pusing boleh mix ina-inu, gak ribet, tinggal pake aja 😄
 
Dari awal aku langsung suka sama cleanser-nya. Tipikal gentle cleanser yang aku approve, gak bikin ketarik. Toner-nya dengan tekstur air yang “gendut”, gak gampang hilang/menguap di kulit, langsung bikin lebih lembap. Serumnya sendiri bisa buat hydration booster atau di layer dengan serum lain with other targeted focus.
 
Untuk umurku sekarang yang udah mid 30s dan kondisi kulit yg semakin dehidrasi dan kering, the gel (cream) isn’t enough for my skin. I think the texture itself is great dan cocok buat humid weather. Pak D lagi suka pake ini sekarang. Kalo aku malah suka layer another heavier product on top biar lembapnya makin pol.
 
Menurutku @blpskin #TremellaDailyHydratingSeries ini bisa jadi pegangan buat yang baru mulai pake skincare; pre-teen, teenagers, early 20s. Yang belum ada kebutuhan khusus, pengennya maintain skin hydration and of course building the good habit 👌🏼
