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.

Hatomugi Skin Conditioner – For All Seasons

January 4, 2018

This is yet another product I procrastinated to make a review of because I’ve featured it often on my Instagram and I figured people would get it by now: I FREAKING LOVE THIS STUFF.

Alas, sending that message wasn’t enough. After continuous inquiries over the past few years, it’s only right that I give the proper spotlight of this product in The Fruit Compote. That way, I don’t have to keep repeating myself and I can just shove the link. LOL! Kidding! *but serious*

Meet my skin’s best friend, Imju Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner.

Making Skin Cocktails with Odacité SYNERGIE[4] Masque

July 4, 2017

When it comes to skincare, I have a soft spot for multi-functional products that offer versatility in terms of formula and usage. Products like these don’t just give me a run for my money, but also add plus points in the experience department.

We tend to like masks as a once-a-week (or more) treatment because they usually give instant results that we can enjoy the next morning, or throughout the day, depending on when we use it. I’ve started on mixing different masks for quite a while now to elevate the function or simply creating an even more pleasant routine.

Odacité SYNERGIE[4] Beauty Masque* is one of those masks.

Leahlani Masks – Even Ants Love Them!

November 14, 2016

So, this is the review that so many people have been waiting for.

I first came across Leahlani Skincare through Nic from Organic Obsessions. sometime last year. She’s always praising (and wearing) Mermaid Mask and from there on I get to know more about Leah and her work. I knew something is very special here. I have to try it for myself and boy, I certainly get more than just a skincare.

Leahlani Skincare is a mix of organic botanicals and clays, delicious tropical fruits, and pure organic Hawaiian nectars blended in intimate, aloha-infused batches on the lush north shore of Kauai.

There is a reason why it took very long for me to write the review. I have used her products for a year now and I enjoy it very much. Maybe too much that I don’t feel I have the capability on describing the way they make my skin look and the whole experience. I want to express and do her products justice. Somehow I didn’t feel I was able to. It’s like I am out of the league here.

But let me just try.

The Ambidextrous Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

April 18, 2016

I was looking for a mask that’s different than the usual clarifying or purifying type. I want something that’s more moisturizing and nurturing. Turns out, this particular product offers both.

This is quite possibly one of the most versatile skincare products I’ve encountered as of late.

May Lindstrom The Problem Solver – BANG for The Buck!

March 31, 2016

So what happens when one (read: I) wanted to try this mask yet found the price slays the wallet? Well, for the sake of good skin and satiate the curiosity, I’m willing to be the test bunny and took the plunge. Besides, I’ve never tried anything like this before.

I definitely get more than I bargained for.

Trick or Treat: GRESSA Pumpkin Peel Clarifying Mask

January 18, 2016

Let me state first that this product is sadly a limited edition and probably will only be available again sometime in this year’s fall season (got mine in October 2015).

I didn’t expect to receive this as a complementary gift at all when I made an order at Gressa‘s website. Once I found out, I was more than ecstatic because apparently there were many good feedback from customers who have tried them in the previous year.

It may be pointless to make a review but I’m hoping it’ll make a comeback.

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? 👀
