Happy Makeup

Once in a month there is a day when you wake up and not feeling well. The time ticks too slow, you even won't get out of the bed, you hate the weather and you hate the traffic. But all gone after you put some makeup. Well, it works for me. 

I had a quite blue feeling since yesterday and 100% sure i'ts only a PMS effect, so keep calm and let's put some makeup. And yes, being pretty makes me happy. Here's my happy makeup (not quite sure what it really means, because I just put some makeup that works best on me :P)

My happy makeup: 

Moisturizer - First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (bought the samples and been wearing two days, I think my skin loves it)

Foundation - Make Up For Ever Face & Body (great for dry skin)

Powder - MAC Studio Careblend/Pressed (natural finish, oily gets away)

Blush - Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful (my new fave blush!)

Eyeliner - Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner

Mascara - Dolly Wink Volume

Eyeshadow - theBalm Meet Matte Nude

Lips - theBalm Mai Billsbepaid Lipstick (really great for dry and chapped lips) 

Enjoy Sunday Makeup

I am grateful for Sunday, I enjoy it, I am a fan of it, I adore it.

Most of all, on this day, recently, I can do a makeup experiment! XD

I find this hobby entertaining. Doing my makeup makes myself happy. As simple as that :")

As now I want to share my makeup on last Sunday. I had a date with boyfie, and decided to try out the new foundations. Make Up For Ever face & body and Chanel Perfection Lumiere. This two foundation compliments each other. The MUFE one moisturizes my dry skin well and Chanel evens out and smoothen my skin. 

As daily makeup for office I usually only apply MUFE and MAC powder. And I can't wear Chanel alone because of my dry skin. So both of them work awesome on my combination skin, for medium to high coverage.

Another good thing is, wearing this double foundations doesn't look too much on me, you can see at the picture below. Yay!

What's Inside My Makeup Pouch

What I usually carry in my makeup pouch basically are some handy items that can be applied quickly. I even sometimes manage to apply my makeup on the way to the office (thank you, dear traffic!). I have my moisturizer and foundation at home, and apply things below in the car >,<.

I got this cute makeup pouch as a free gift from Anna Sui, don't remember the exact years, like couple years ago I think. I love the prints on it! Very cute and represents woman in many style.

What's Inside My Makeup Pouch:

1. Etude Proof 10 Eye Primer (it's a must, I have oily eyelids)
2. VOV Eyeshadow in Black
3. Angle brush
4. NYX Super Skinny Marker Eyeliner
5. Shiseido Eyelash Curler
6. Maybelline Volum Express Mascara
7. Faceshop Auto Eyebrow
8. Clinique Full Potential Lips
9. MAC Studio Careblend Pressed
10. Body Shop Hand Cream: Soft Hands Kind Hearts (got it by redeeming 25 Body Shop empty bottles *happy*)
11. Clean & Clear Oil Control Film

Two and a Half Hours

Last Monday I had a meeting in Jakarta. 10 to 12. And my flight back here was on 17.45, so I decided to go to Grand Indonesia to shop some stuff :D

These are what I got in two and a half hours. I want more time! >,<

1. TRF Zara flats - love the color! (It reminds me of Honda CR-V in Urban Titanium Metallic =P)
2. Forever 21 dress + belt - flower prints are too cute
3. MAC mineralize foundation/loose (Finally! MAC, Y U NO open here?)
4. NYX super skinny marker (looks really like a marker) and the eye & lip makeup remover (I used to pick Maybelline or Revlon and it was annoying because I have to swipe it back and forth too many times, somehow it hurts my eyes. Hopefully this NYX will work on me)

Miscellaneous notes from trip to Jakarta:

• Do a web check in on Lion Air website a day before your departure, it is really helpful, you can pick a seat too, and it's free! 
• How about the airport tax? Considering the very hectic and crowd and long queue in Juanda Airport, just head to Lion Air counter, their nice staff will be pleased to assist you (If you give the staff 50 for the fee 40 and he comes with "Uhm, so sorry, I have no exchange", here's the suggestion: just let it go)
• Citilink by Garuda Indonesia? Never expect too much. No web check in. But you could pick a seat in advance for 25, pay in their counter (if you want it free, you could pick it when you check in, which will be too late). No gambling. I always want to be in front seat, so I won't be trapped in the crowd. 
• Taxi at Jakarta? Pick Blue Bird or Taxiku, or moreover Silver Bird (you get Mercedes with mostly a very kind and polite driver, but yeah, there is a price for it)
