Lorac Nude Skinny Palette

It's time for Eyeshadow Palette!

Been a fan of Jen Frmheadtotoe since long time, and I tend to buy makeup that she uses. Ha! I am that easy kind of customer. Haha. I bought Tarte blush in Blissful because of Jen. And this time I purchased Lorac Nude Skinny Palette because she mentioned it a lot in her videos! 

What I love the most about this palette of course is the neutral earthy color, that will never go wrong for my skin tone. I can use all the matte and shimmer colors: the soft color for daily basis and the dark one for smokey look. It has good pigmentation and very well blendable. 

And guess what, it comes with very affordable price, purchased it around 200k, so I can forgive for the not so girly or elegant packaging (mine is messy now >,<).

Products that I use to achieve my look today: 

(I used Shu Uemura foundation which was not in the picture because I took it in previous post)

theBalm Meet Matt(e) Nude

So I finally ordered my very first theBalm product: Meet Matt(e) Nude (go check their website, cute-vintage-ness overload! I am so thrilled by their way to name all their products. Too creative!) via Mimo Pre Order. I've been eyeing some matte eyeshadow palettes, so when I know that theBalm got 50% off on all product, I didn't want to miss the chance! : D. 

I got this beautiful eyeshadow palettes only idr 315k (original price is $42), so it was a really good deal, right? *happy*. And guess what? It comes out in super pretty packaging and I have all the matte colors I want. I've wearing them a week, and I could say their staying power is awesome (I use NYX HD eyeshadow base first). 

LOVE!

NYX HD Eye Shadow Base

Just purchased NYX High Definition Eye Shadow Base  from indomakeup.com for only IDR 88K (Okay, I know I promised myself not to buy any thing this month, but this is essential, I ran out of it. Eye shadow primer is essential for my oily eye lids. And so I declare this is not an impulsive buying =P). 

I used up Etude Proof 10, and although it holds the eye make up I put on until 5 hours, I don't really like the texture. It just too rough, too quick to dry, so it'll always leaves some white creases. Meh!

Hence, what I love the most about this NYX HD Eye Shadow Base (beside the affordable price of course) is the texture! It's so light, kinda watery creamy that blends out very well on the eyelid. So far this eye shadow base is doing fine on me. Just put a little dot (don't overdo it, because it'll get too oily instead) on each eyelids and it holds my eye make up about 7-8 hours. 

Left is the a little dot of the product.
Right is the look after blending.

PS: This is my very first post about reviewing product. Think I'm gonna write more in the future :D

Weekend at Jakarta and etc

Just had a busy weekend at Jakarta. I and my other colleagues were there to support our team in Honda Skill Contest 2013. And the hard work has been paid off. Almost all win top three position the categories. They, as I know, are all the people to very determined to win. Hence, I am so happy, I grinned so wide as I heard the news of their winning announcement at Mulia Hotel Bali, yes after took part the Contest at Jakarta, all the contestants were flew to Bali! *envious*. Some didn't win, but I know they did their best, it's just a matter of time. Anyway, I had a chance to try the famous Yoshinoya at Jakarta! And as people say, it was so yummyyyyy!

Let's move to my recent purchases (again!). I got another Dollywink! I've been searching for a waterproof mascara and read a good reviews about Koji Dollywink. I had Maybelline Turbo Boost which I didn't really like, because it smudges and leaves some black residues under eyes after 4-5 hours. I totally look like a mess. And this Dollywink Long Mascara... I am in love! I purchased it at Sogo for IDR 296K. Pretty expensive for a mascara, somehow I kinda regret buying it, because I just checked on online shop, they sell it for only IDR 196K :( #lessonlearned : check online before purchasing something (!!)

And okay, I have to save up this month, I purchased too many things! But I love them all. OMG!  >,<

I bought Fossil watch as Christmas gift for myself, hahaha =P and I bought Estee Lauder eyeshadow as a Christmas gift for my mom. I bought it in two colors: cyber pink and cyber copper. Both are gorgeous. And that BB cream is from Ettusais, I read the review from Joey Chong, and I am carried away ever since. Fortunately, when my mom went to SG, she managed to stopped by at Ettusais counter and bought it for me :D. So far this BB cream works well at me. *happy*
