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!

Country & Stream Honey Eye Roll-on – Exciting New Find!

May 14, 2018

I received many inquiries and updates about Country & Stream Honey Eye Roll-on ever since I posted it on my Instagram during my Japan trip. Even though I’ve only used it for just two months, I’m eager to say a thing or two about it!

It’s uncalled for. If you know me, I don’t make a review on any skincare that quickly, usually just first impressions. But this is a once-in-a-blue-moon situation we’ve got here.

Beauty Assistant & Customer Relations – Attitude & Knowledge Matter

May 3, 2018

Not too long ago, I had this chat with a friend who used to work in a well-known beauty brand. Then I remembered about all the other conversations I had with different people talking about this particular topic. It’s not necessarily a subject that we often discuss publicly but I am sure many people have their own opinions about this.

BeautyAssistant, or we know them with other titles such as Beauty Advisor, Sales Assistant/Advisor/Consultant, or abbreviated as BA or SA. Yep, you’d probably have an idea where I’m going with this.

So, shall we?

Parado Nail Foundation – My Nails But Better

April 18, 2018

When you go to Japan, there’s no way that you wouldn’t stop by one of its myriad convenience stores. They’re available in every few blocks, how can we not notice? During our recent Japan trip, we entered at least one every day, mostly to get some food for breakfast, snacks, drinks or anything that might catch our eyes.

Some convenience stores also carry few makeup products. You know, my eyes usually went straight for it whenever I see one. *chuckle* There is one particular purchase that made me really happy because it’s like finding a gem (for me who likes nail polishes). And that is ParaDo Nail Foundation.

Sapporo – Where Everything is Covered in Snow

April 9, 2018

Ever since we traveled to Japan for the first time in 2016, we’ve always wanted to go back. There was no doubt in our minds that when we get married, we will have our honeymoon there. In all honesty, we were very laid back on this trip. We’ve actually just booked the hotels and finish other arrangements (pocket wifi, JR pass, etc) a week before our departure, though we have set an itinerary, sort of.

The first city that we chose is Sapporo!

We departed from Jakarta to Tokyo (Haneda), before continuing our flight to Sapporo. The trick here was we had to change from international to domestic terminal. We picked up our baggage, boarded the airport bus then dropped them off at the transit counter and were set to go.

Except, there was a delay with the flight. A two hour one. We grabbed something to eat at the airport because it was getting late, we were hungry and tired. The flight took about 1 1/2 hour and we’re glad we did eat because as it turned out, there were no meals provided; just water and a packet of snack. The flight had a little bit of turbulence too. Whew, what a start!

Skin Dewi Hazelnut Cleansing Milk – A Game Changer

April 7, 2018

After the very fruitful 3-day Organic Skincare Workshop over at Skin Dewi last year, which you can read here, here and here, I got to try several of the skincare offerings. I kept hearing about this particular product being one of the best sellers during the workshop (thanks, Steven!). Naturally, I was intrigued because apparently, this product isn’t what I thought it was.

Skin Dewi Hazelnut Cleansing Milk* is the one product that changes the way I think about cleansing and how it can make such a huge difference to the skin. Curious? Read on.

Lip Products I Carried on My Japan Trip

March 22, 2018

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.

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 was watching Izakaya Bottakuri and I saw Zosui, I was watching Izakaya Bottakuri and I saw Zosui, immediately wanted to make it cos I have all of the ingredients! It’s a great way to utilize leftovers too.

Apart from adding soy sauce, I could also add white pepper or Togarashi for some heat. I think it’s best to keep the flavors on the simpler side, that’s the charm of it ✨

It’s so warm & comforting. Pak D ended up having seconds, thirds and finished the entire pot 🥺

It’s only the first month of 2023 and I can see It’s only the first month of 2023 and I can see myself using @lancomeofficial Rénergie Triple Serum all year round!

I was already intrigued by the serum when I saw it a few months ago. I remember I pumped the bottle and got mesmerized instantly. I love smart and thoughtful formulations and this is definitely one of them!

The addition of Ferulic Acid on top of Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid work not only as a potent antioxidant in its own right (it reduces redness too), but it also boosts the performance of the Vitamin C. Together, they make some serious combination for those who are looking for a simpler routine yet impactful ✨

A month of usage but I can clearly see the difference and the potential! I personally love using this on daytime because it offers high antioxidants and it keeps my skin looking fresh even after a day’s out. At nighttime, this works to rejuvenate the skin while I’m sleeping. This one hits the sweet spot for me 👌🏼

This #LancomeID #Renergie Triple Serum is available on all Lancome counters and official store on Lazada!
Easy peasy, foolproof recipe! If you want the sim Easy peasy, foolproof recipe!

If you want the simplest way, just add the olive vegetable to a warm rice and mix it together.

I add the olive vegetable after the rice because I need to adjust the flavor. I usually start with a heaping tablespoon. I’ll add more if I need it. I don’t add any more salt. I could add some pepper (or chili) though, depending on how I feel that day 😄

There are so many variations that we can do with this. Porridge also tastes bomb with this. Totally up to you! Enjoy 🫶🏼
