On My Second Tube : Nivea Sun Whitening Face Cream SPF 50

Just being honest, I rarely do a second purchase unless the thing works really good on me. This is my daily support for a flawless, fair skin.

I started using sunscreen regularly since I went to college, the humidity and the exposure of the sun were quite rough so I needed to protect my skin. I always prefer a standalone sunscreen to the one in BB or CC cream, just a personal preference though.

After trying several face suncreen previously, you name it, Banana Boat, SkinAqua, etc... I think this one is my fave. Let's see why:

1. Its reasonable price. Just being realistic, sunscreen should be applied everyday, and after some watery or sweaty activities, you have to re-apply. I don't think I wanna spend much on this too matter fact it's EXTREMELY important for my skin. 

2. It has a powdery finish. Not sticky at all. Not greasy at all. I used to hate applying sunscreen because of its stickiness but this one offers nicer choice.

3. It DOES protect the skin. Sounds a bit riddiculous but as you know it, sometimes it just doesn't. So be careful when picking one.

Are those 3 reasons enough?

I gotta add one more. It blends nicely with any makeup. I never have to worry it will crumple or so with the makeup I will apply rightafter.

Here's the pic of its consistency, you just need a little amount for your whole face and neck. I usually apply this after washing my face and in midday.

Tell me, do you regularly put on sunscreen?

If you don't, well, you really need to.

Current Obsession : Kiss Me Heroine Mascara

Each time I use it and post the pic on my instagram, I always receive questions and some remarks towards this thing. I heard about this mascara since...years a go, I hardly can tell. If you check it out on some instagram make up shop, some offer you a chance to get one thru Pre Order (PO). There's something inconvinience about PO so I never gave it a try. Several weeks a go, this thing crossed my sight in Guardian Grand Indonesia... Finally, I got one. Kiss Me Heroine Mascara Volume and Curl. I picked this one rather than the Long and Curl one since my lashes is long but thin. There you go the results:

7 comments on this mascara:

1. Cheap packaging. It really looks cheap that you won't think that it costs you around $15.

2. One thing why it looks cheap because its packaging feels very light. And yes I love it because it doesn't weigh on the makeup pouch.

3. Waterproof, smudgeproof, sweatproof. It will stay that way until you decide to put it off.

4. Good consistency! Won't crumple on your lashes. Feels so sheer but so matte.

5. Cheap for this quality... YES! Compared to another high end mascara that manages to get you broke. ;)

6. It's my HG mascara rite now.

7. I'm so gonna repurchase.

Kinda eyeing on Kiss Me Heroine eyeliner, my beloved friend @nadyanasiswanto (check her ig!) promise me to get one soon. I'll share to you all the experiences after trying it on.

*All stuffs here belong to me, all comments and thoughts are also mine.*

What's you HG mascara? Share and tell :)

Love,

Yeay.. Back to Blogging!

It's been 2 years and I was thinking of deleting my blog...simply because I am thinking of starting again BUT somehow I changed my mind and I think I'm gonna post things also share my thoughts here again. So how are you?

As life evolves, makeup does evolving, too. Preferences change, skin condition changes.. Everything's changing!

A Review: Revlon Super Lustrous "Certainly Red"

Certainly Red

I'm a sucker for lippen. Especially red. Knowing I rarely wear that.. yet, I keep buying some. This one is amazing. A little bit pinkish in my opinion, and bluish.
The staying power is good. After some heavy eating, the stain will be there in your lips making you looking fresh. For a dramatic look or night make up, double swipes of this will make you look dazzling. Impressive and not drying at all. 3 stars from me, why? Because I don't like the packaging. Less chic, huh? But the formula and the color are awesome!

Only wear it once and planned to give it a go for anyone who wants it..since I owned a Russian Red. Anyone?

all review was based on my personal opinion, products are also mine.

Current Addiction : Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama in Black

taken with my mac, sorry for the bad resolution :p

Been years!
Or feels like years. Howdy :-D
My hair is already black again and I found several good stuffs that might not bite the wallet, too.
If you follow my instagram, it is Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama. Yes, I wore it in these photos. Free smudge (the most important point for me), extremely easy to apply, plus long lasting. It stays. Much better than my MAC eyeliner which can cost you three times than this.
The gel is not drying plus the color is intense. Good for any type of liner you wanna make. 5 stars from me! It's a HG.

all of this review is based on my personal opinion, products are also mine.

Choose The Liners

I am a sucker for eyeliners. I first knew them (and tried to wear them) while I was in high school, senior high school, was it late?

Before that, I just hadn't liked them. In my thoughts those days, they were all smudgy, making your eye makeup go black, and difficult to remove! I guess those opinion were purely because of my lack of experience in wearing them. :p
Eyeliner really can go awesome if we put it in a right way.
Shall I start? 3 stripes above are pencil eyeliner, liquid eye liner pen, and the truest liquid eye liner. What I mean here with the truest liquid eye liner is an eye liner with brush as its applicator. Above are 3 from different brands.
They are Borjouis Eyeliner Pencil, Max Factor Glide and Define Liquid Eyeliner, and Sariayu Double Eyeliner-Mascara.
Only the second one is my favorite because it's the easiest to apply with shaky hand or lack of experience. Seriously, all of these liners are great, yet our preference can be based on how we love to apply them. One of my friend is a big fan of Sariayu Double Eyeliner-Mascara, she uses it everyday and it stays on her, not smudgy, and look lovely.

Here below my conclusion:

• Eyeliner pencil is for those who wants smudgy effect, makes smokey eyes, loves to tight-lining (lining the eyelash line), hates jet black liners, and hates liners which are hard to remove.
• Liquid eyeliner pen is for those who wants natural look (it can be applied very thin), needs more control, has shaky hands, doesn't want a smudgy effect.
• Liquid eyeliner with brush is for those who has a good psychomotor (?), wants a jet black liner, hates smudgy effect, wants dramatical usage, and loves winged-eyes.

I haven't tried eyeliner gel at all and currently eyeing for Bobbi Brown ones, have you guys tried it?
Share some opinions here! :) xx Erin
