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!

My Japan Holiday Trip 2018 – Skincare Routine

March 14, 2018

Just recently, we went for our honeymoon. We chose Japan because we’ve been wanting to go there again ever since our first time. There was no need to make a decision of where to go because we already knew!

Following the post on my skincare routine during the trip 2 years ago, I’m going to do the same for this one as well. It is still winter time. But this time, I was trying to be a little more straightforward and less fussy with the routine. Because we were going to be there for 2 weeks, I carried all full-sized products with me.

Keyword: focus on hydration and moisturization.

Shall we begin?

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.

Lancôme Énergie De Vie

December 21, 2017

I must admit, ever since Lisa Eldridge was appointed as Lancome’s Creative Director of Makeup in 2015, I have been paying more attention to the brand. It’s on my radar. Of course, I know Lancome. The brand’s vibe for years was catered towards grown women so it was a little hard to connect with the products. Lisa‘s creative touch was only started to be seen in 2016 when Juicy Shakers are introduced. From then on, L’absolu Rouge (and few others) got a facelift among with numerous exciting new products. She made so many changes and improvements in the past couple of years. Her vast knowledge and effortless sense of style were put to really good use. I think Lancome made an absolutely brilliant move for snatching her up!

Though I can’t know for sure whether she has any say in the skincare department, I can almost feel her touch in this area as well. At the very least, I was waiting for the brand’s prospective change. There’s one particular skincare line that was introduced in last year’s summer that became one of my favorites in 2016 and it is the Lancome Energie de Vie*.

The Reformulated Shiseido White Lucent Series

November 9, 2016

Years ago, when I first started my skincare journey, one of the first things I wanted to tackle was hyperpigmentation. I developed these dark spots during my younger days not wearing sunscreen and found out I am prone to it anyway thanks to my dad’s genes. I am also aware that they don’t go easily so I never hoped for anything miraculous. It’s a long-term journey and I’m up for it.

The first skincare products that I tried that specifically target this issue is Shiseido White Lucent, the old one with the white and pale pink packaging. I used three products: the lotion, serum, and emulsion. I used this set in the morning until I finished my second bottle of the serum. Not many knows, but I don’t play much with my morning skincare routine. I usually stick with the same products over and over again with very few rotations. I keep the big guns at night, that’s why. But having a brightening set was something I always try to have in the routine and morning time is the perfect allocation for it. So after the old Shiseido White Lucent, I moved on to a different brand but with similar functions. Then after seeing results, I figured I’d lay off and try the usual mash of different brands à la Kae.

Then suddenly, Shiseido revamped the whole thing.

My Japan Holiday Trip – Skincare Routine

March 10, 2016

I thought I should share what skincare products I brought and used during my recent Japan trip. This particular one is special because I’ve yet traveled in any winter weather since I started my skincare journey few years ago. So let’s just say this is sort of an educated experiment that turned successful.

Obviously, I researched and visualized the weather conditions and temperature. It was the end of winter, coming into spring. With that in mind, I had a general idea of a set of products that I want to bring with me. Of course, they have to fit into my skincare bag. I had to negotiate here and there to make sure the bag isn’t too heavy. The total weight overall came to around 1 – 1.5 kg, I think. Or probably more *HA*. The bag did feel heavy.

Another info you need to know is I got sick a couple days before my departure. Sore throat, fatigue, headache. All escalated into one nasty cold, congestion with frequent coughing within the first few days of my trip. Thank goodness, I was prepared.

Without further adieu, let’s get to it!

Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist – Spritz Away

October 20, 2015

My fellow followers would probably know that I had featured this product in my Instagram posts and Periscope for a while now. I figured, I might as well make a proper review out of it.

I used this product once years ago, long before I embarked on a full-on skincare journey. I loved it then but I didn’t have the commitment in being diligent, yet.

Few months ago, I got invited into an intimate gathering held by Jurlique Indonesia. There, I got the chance to try its infamous Rosewater Balancing Mist again. I was reminded of why I loved it in the first place. I was given a 50 ml bottle as a PR Sample and I finished it up quite easily.

Without a second thought, I made my way back to the store and got myself a 100 ml bottle.

Let’s get to it, Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist.

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.

Another wishlist checked ✅ What a charming bout Another wishlist checked ✅

What a charming boutique, I can spend hours there, easily! So much to see and explore. I kept sniffing and touching things cos the temptations are strong. Not just the fragrances, but the wood, the cabinetry and the little trinkets spread across the space. An absolute feast for my eyes 😍

For now, I’m satisfied with my picks. Each will remind me of this HK trip, in a different, yet same loving way ☺️

Giving myself many pats on the back for pushing through. Habis itu senang sekali dan rasa pegel di kaki berkurang deh walau cuma sebentar 🤣

Berhubung udah dapet lampu ijo, jadi aku spill yaa Berhubung udah dapet lampu ijo, jadi aku spill yaa! ☺️ A few of you have already guessed! Yes, @menard.indonesia One Touch lip products are back! 🙌🏼

Masih dengan packaging-nya yang khas, One Touch, artinya bisa pake satu tangan untuk buka dan tutup lipstick-nya. Mudah bukan? 

Ada dua macam, yg pertama Lip Treatment N dengan clear color - basically ini lip balm untuk sehari-hari deh! It helps to improve dry & chapped lips too.

Yg kedua ada Lipstick-nya. Nah mereka ini kiblatnya ke arah sheer yak! Each gives a tint to your natural lip color. Makin di apply, tint-nya makin terlihat, tapi tetap keliatan light dan bertahan lumayan lama juga lho. Bisa juga dijadiin base untuk di layer dengan lipstick lain. Mau di layer dengan One Touch Lipstick yg lain juga bisa banget, create your custom color hehe.

Shade 100 ini walaupun keliatan kayak putih doang di bullet-nya tapi pas di swatch akan bereaksi dengan kulit kita dan ngeluarin warna pink (di aku lumayan bright!). My favorite so far is actually Shade 200 cos it somewhat neutralizes my mauve lips, jadi lebih “cerah” dan rata tanpa ada kesan pake colored products. Shade 130 is also super fun with the sheer red tone. Yang pasti semuanya menurutku veeeery effortless yak, istilahnya gak perlu ngaca bisa pake kok thanks to the sheerness of it 👌🏼

Lembap? Jelas, udah gak perlu ditanya ♥️ Bikin bibirku keliatan lebih plump, supple empuk2 gitu dan healthy. I keep pressing my lips together because it feels so cushiony! Cus lah ke @menard.indonesia kalo udah kangen banget atau penasaran sama mereka 😘
