In This Moment || PERSONAL

In this moment I realize how ungrateful I am for what I have.

In this moment I realize that I am supposed to embrace what I have right now, and enjoy it like there is no tomorrow. 

That is because we do not know what will happen in the next second, next minute, next hour, or next day. 

It is scary, not knowing what will happen.But all we can do is do our best at this very moment. 

So there will be no regret.So there will be no "I should've" thoughts at night. 

In this moment I really want to thank for everything. Every single thing that I have, I had, or I will have. 

For every breath, every pain, every smile. Even for every single tear that run down from my eyes. 

I am thankful I still have my parents living, breathing, supporting every steps that I take. 

I am thankful for every single person that crossed my path. Either the one who stay, and the one who left. 

I am thankful for my family that always have my back. 

I am thankful for that person who always remember me in his pray. 

I am thankful for people that always push me to move when I do not want to move. 

People that always take my hands when I want to give up. 

People who always listen to every same story I tell them.

People who always be there when I am crying for help.

I am thankful for you. For everything, for every second I learn something new. 

I may not saying this to you in person. But I love each one of you. Thank you for making me feel loved when I feel otherwise.

I am grateful now for everything that I have.

And I will cherish it until it's gone.Thank you.

FOREO LUNA 2 REVIEW

Hello people, it is skincare time! More precisely skincare gadget time.

I am a true believer in a nice deep cleansing. Since I have big pores (possibly could be seen from the moon) and I have problem with small bumps all over my face, clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and all that jazz, I always clean my face morning and evening. At evening, I do 2 steps of cleansing. The first one I use make up remover, such as oil make up remover or micellar water or cleansing milk, and then the next step I use my cleansing device with my facial wash.

I have and used a clarisonic in the past. I have a Mia 2, and I always use the deep cleanse brush. And lucky for you, I can compare which one I prefer, either Clarisonic or Foreo Luna 2.

I bought my Foreo Luna 2 at Singapore's Sephora, I believe it cost me around SGD 300. Yesssss, I know. It is expensive. But I have to do something with my clogged pores and my blackheads. So I went buy it and never regret my decision. I bought the normal version. Well, Foreo Luna 2 has a lot of type, and it all depends on your skin type. They have device for normal skin, combination skin, sensitive skin and even for men. The difference between one and the other is the bristles. The silicon bristles in sensitive one is much softer and smaller than the bristles for combination skin. 

At first I really wanted to get one for combination skin, but the BA asked me if I want to use this device daily, and I said yes and then she recommended me the normal one, since it is more gentle on the skin and less abrasive/harsh for daily use. And I took her recommendation and bought the normal one. 

On the website, this device claims a lot. First, it claims more refined skin, more radiant complexion and firmer looking skin. Also they said, "Transform your daily skin care routine into an invigorating 2-minute ritual. In just 3 days, the LUNA facial cleansing brush will bring you skin that appears visibly healthier and more radiant, and continued use will leave your skin looking enviably younger and smoother. My skin does look more refine, and much better looking since I use this. Also my make up application always on point. I have no more dry patches shown when I apply my foundation.

I like the fact that I do not have to change the head brush every 3 months like my Clarisonic, since it is pain in the butt to spend SGD 40 every 3 months, meanwhile I live in Indonesia and we do not have Clarisonic yet here. Foreo Luna indeed is more expensive device, but in the long run Foreo Luna is much cheaper investment than Clarisonic. 

An hour of charging will give you 100 times usage. Also it has another mode, the Anti Aging Mode. Foreo Luna facial cleansing brush directs lower-frequency pulsations that, when applied to wrinkle-prone areas, reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brings skin that looks firmer. As for this anti-aging claims, I cannot give you what I thought about it, since I have no visible wrinkles yet, so I am not sure if this works or not.

As for cleansing, this device will cleanse your face like no other. In fact, I feel as clean as I did when I used my Clarisonic. This device helps me clear out my skin. The first time I use this device, I broke out terribly, and to be honest my skin was at its worst. And LUNA helps me. It helps me clear out my skin, cleanse it not just on the surface, but also deep into my pores. I do notice I have less clogged pores when I use this device. And I do notice that my skin care (serum, moisturizer) absorbs much quickly after I cleanse my face with LUNA. All that little bumps on my face gone after I use this, yup believe it or not.

So, I can finally say that Foreo Luna is my life savior, my Holy Grail products. It is a good investment for your skin care routine, and I do recommend this device highly to all my friends and family. If you ask me which one I prefer, either LUNA or Clarisonic, I do prefer LUNA 2. It is more cost effective and do the job as good as Clarisonic. 

JEFFREE STAR VELOUR LIQUID LIPSTICK REVIEW

Here's another Liquid Lipstick review. Please do not be bored with my lipstick review, other review will soon be here darling. But if you know me well, I am a huge lipstick lover. My lipstick collection is bigger than my other collection. I am a proud lipstick hoarder. 

So let's get started. I bought my JS liquid lipstick from @beautelvie on instagram. Since it is really hard to get my hands on this liquid lipstick, I look all over instagram and found this seller. She is super nice, the package comes really secured (nothing broke), and on time. She also tell me to shake the liquid lipstick first before applying it. Thank you for the tips darl!

Okay, the box packaging is cute, but I am not a packaging hoarder, and I do always throw them away, but this box I can probably recycle, using it for storing my rings or something else. I bought 3 colors, Mannequin, Rose Matter, and Gemini. I am really hyped about Gemini, since its color is right up my alley. At first I thought Mannequin would be too pale for me, but guess what, it is not. It is still looks pretty on my lips.

Formula wise, Jeffree Star liquid lipstick makes me wish that I bought them sooner. It's not as drying as other liquid lipstick, it is creamy and lightweight. The dove applicator is different, and all you need is 1 layer. They fades beautifully, even though I still see my lip's lines or cracks, you may say, but it doesn't feel as drying. 

Smells, I honestly do not know what's the smell. It's like vanilla cupcake, but not my favorite one. I do not mind though, since these liquid lipstick are bomb! Another down side, they do not have a stopper, but the applicator gives you a great amount of product for application.

The only downside is, it always gets on my teeth after applying this liquid lipstick. It is not a pretty look. I do not know what's wrong but it always gets on my teeth and thank God I always check my teeth after applying lipstick. Another down side, they do not have a stopper, but the applicator gives you a great amount of product for application.

I heard that there are FAKE Jeffree Star Liquid Lipstick out there, so be careful guys. Thank God, mine is original.

Mannequin is cool toned pinky nude. It dries darker on me, but I do prefer the color after it dries, since I do not like the super pale nude.

Gemini is terra-cotta warm nude. I love this color so much. It is so pretty. I cannot tell you how much I love this color.

Rose matter is soft neutral coral with a little bit pink in it. It is pretty, it fades gracefully and when I touch up, it still looks good. 

And another good thing is that they're cruelty free, it means they do not test on animals. Yay for that. 

Stay tuned for next review darling!

ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY BLOOMING LIPS TALK CHIFFON REVIEW

Hello girls and boys. Sorry for being MIA for weeks. I've moved to my new apartment, and things happened and could not do any reviews, but here we are. Even though when I am writing this, I am sick with flu, but guess what, this review needs to be done.

Today I am going to give you my honest review about ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY BLOOMING LIPS TALK CHIFFON. This is their new range lipstick in Dear My Blooming Lips Line. First time I saw these lipsticks are from LilyMayMac's (@lilymaymac) instagram, she's the new brand ambassador ( I guess) for this lipstick line. And I saw her photos wearing them, and it looks so good. And I finally bought the lipsticks she used. I got 3 of them, in color BR108, BR109, and OR210.

Formula ? It's creamy, but not fully opaque, if you want full color opaque application, you will need several swipes. It is comfortable on lips, does not bleed, and has demi matte finish. I hate the scents. It has a very artificial smells, and it lingers for a quite some time. Packaging wise? cute. It's pink, but feels light and cheap. Well, it is a cheap lipstick, you get what you paid for right?

Color wise, BR108 is a nude with coral undertone. This one is my least favorite from all the 3 I got. I can barely wear this, since it is almost too light for my skintone and my preference. I like darker nude, with pink undertone. I'd still use this, but not as much as my other nude lipsticks which I love. This color has cooler undertone, and will suits darker or tanner skin tone.

Next is BR109. This one is my favorite. It's a darker nude with brown undertone and little bit of pink in it. This is my MLBB color. I can easily pull this off from my bag, and apply this over and over again, since I love this color so much. On photos, it looks it has orange undertone, but believe me it's more brownish than what it looks on camera. And btw, this photo does no justice for this color. It's so beautiful. And Lily actually picked this one as her favorite as well.

Last but not least, OR210. This color is a bright red with orange undertone. It is pretty, but I prefer my red lipsticks to be super matte so I do not have to worry about it bleeding all over my face. This shade is pretty as well, and it will perfect for night out.

Lasting hour? These lipsticks last pretty well, it fades after meal, probably will last around 5-6 hours. But after touch up, your lips will look perfect again.

Overall, I like the original Dear My Blooming Lips Talk better, since it is more opaque and it last well. These lipsticks are good, but not overly amazing. It does not give me a wow factor. The only thing I like is the color of BR109. And I despise the smells. But this lipstick is worth to try, well you might like it more than I do.

MY TOP 5 FAVORITE FOUNDATIONS

Hello beautiful people!

Now I'm gonna show you my top 5 favorite foundations. I trust these foundations, and I believe in them. I've tested and using them for enough time to tell you these are some of my favorites. 

I am not an everyday foundation user, but I use them enough to tell which one is work which is not, which one I love and which one I just like.

So, let's get started!

Shall we start with the infamous Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua ? Yes, we shall.

I have 2 of this foundation. Yup. I bought my first Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in shade B30. And I thought I would be a match for me, but unfortunately it is a little bit dark for my taste. It is a match for my summer shades, but it is a tad bit dark. So I went and buy another one in shade B20, which is perfect. I still use my B30, and I always mix it with my Chanel CC Cream which is lighter than my skin tone and it makes a perfect foundation as well. It has a luminous finish, smells great ( I love Chanel's products scents btw) and it lasts on me pretty good. For the price tag, it is expensive, but I think it is worth every penny. My friends even asked me what foundation that I use, and this makes my skin is flawless.

I am all about that light to medium coverage girl, and this foundation is the one. If I want cover any imperfection on my face, I will always prefer using concealer than a thick heavy coverage foundation. I hate the feeling of wearing mask on my face. It has spf 15 but thank God it does not give me weird flash back.

Shade rage? It is not so wide unfortunately, but I find my match so I have no problem with that. But I do think it is a little bit weird that the CC cream is in shade 20 and it is lighter than the foundation in shade 20. Chanel, you need a consistency in your shades babe. It doesn't hold my oiliness at bay, but I do not care at all. All I have to do is a little blot with blotting paper and I am ready to continue my day. For packaging it is great for traveling since it is in plastic squeeze tube. PS : shake well before you use. Buffing brush or beauty blender works wonder with this product.

The next one is my YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation. Mine is in the shade B30. My love for Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua is equal with this foundation. I have no regret at all purchased this foundation, since it makes me flawless. Best application? Damped beauty blender is my favourite. It is medium coverage foundation with luminous finish which I love eventhough I have oily skin, but I want to look dewy okay? Oil control? Not so much, but there is blotting paper and it never claims on keep my oil away, so I do not even mind. It has a scent, but it is okay for me. It also has a pump which is great, and I love the packaging. It is so luxurious with glass bottle. And for me it is worth the price.

The third one is Too Faced Born This Way foundation. Mine is in the shade Ivory. It is a perfect match for me, and it has natural finish. It has medium to full coverage which you can build it up, but I prefer medium coverage. I like to use this foundation also with damped beauty blender. It is come with a pump and glass bottle. And I will use this on special occasion like when I graduated and I do not have time to blot my face. This foundation last so well on my face and looks natural, not cakey at all. TF Born This Way has great selection of shades so you will find your perfect match. No scent at all, oil free, no SPF which are perfect for events.

The fourth one is my Borjouis Healthy Mix Serum Foundation in shade 52 Vanilla. Borjouis does not have a big selection of shades, but thankfully there is a match for me. It is lightweight, and has natural finish. Coverage wise, it has light to medium coverage. I like to use buffing brush with this foundation, and it sets pretty fast. It is a great day to day foundation for me. Longevity is great, and it is a drugstore product. If you have not try this foundation yet, this product is worth to try.

Last but not least, this is a pretty new foundation for me, but I love it from the first time I used it. It is my Hourglass Immaculate Liquid to Powder Foundation. Love this product, and I have in depth review of this product already. So you might want to check it out. hourglass immaculate foundation review

I guess this post is a long one, sorry for that. But I hope you can share some of your favourites down on the comment section. xx

MOVING OUT II OUT OF TOPIC

HELLO PEOPLE!

To be honest I am exhausted, physically and mentally. I am currently on my process of moving out from my old place to my new apartment. I have a lot of things in my old place that I have to take with me to my new place. And those things make me realize that I'm probably a hoarder. 

My makeup is not the biggest collection, but for me it is a lot. I have a lot of other things as well, and it's all over the place right now. It's so uncomfortable, but I cannot do anything about it, since I am moving them slowly, like in 3 phase. I already did my phase 1, it is tiring. 

I love my old place, but sometimes I hate it too (story of my life). My old place is my safe zone, like it's small, packed with things, but it's all my things. But things that I hate is the water pump really problematic, also it is so noisy here especially in the morning since there's construction right next to my place. Also, no parking space. I have to park my car at my boyfie's house. And I cannot use it all the time. So, I need a new place and I found one.

My new place is not so big, it's a 2 bedrooms apartment, but it is comfy. I finally can make my dream vanity where I can put all my make up, and I will make them organized (fingers crossed). But the process of moving things is the one that makes me stressed out lately. My anxiety is coming and go, but my meds are helping me a lot. I have to move out (like totally emptying my space) on next Saturday, so I hope after I finish moving out, my anxiety will calm down. 

I may not post anything these 2 weeks, since I still have a lot of things to do. I promise after I finish organize my new place I will post new reviews and new stuff. So be patient peeps!

MY KYLIE LIP KIT IS FINALLY HERE

Hello gorgeous! The post I've been waiting to post is finally here. IT'S MY KYLIE LIP KIT REVIEW AND SWATCHES! yaaaaaaassss!

First of all, I get my Kylie Lip Kit from 2 online shops. My Candy K is from @yayformakeups, and my other 3 (Koko K, Posie K, and Dolce K) are from @kylielipkitjakarta (both are in Instagram, go check their IG!). I got my Candy K first, and after a few weeks later my other 3 babies arrived at my doorstep.

Let's talk about Candy K first. I love this shades. So much. It's so gorgeous on my lips. And to be honest, the idea selling a lip liner with a liquid lipstick actually a good idea. Lip liner helps me a lot in applying liquid lipstick. Lip liner makes it so much easier. Trust me, I am no good in applying liquid lipstick if the formula is so liquid (like this lip kit or colourpop). Sometimes it's so messy and I have to clean it after I apply it. But if I apply lip liner first, I have no problem with messy liquid lipstick application. Almost forget, this liquid lipstick has no stopper like other brands' lip glosses or liquid lipstick. (Stopper is like a thing inside the tube of your liquid lipstick that gives you a perfect amount of lipstick if that makes sense).

The packaging for me.. It does look cheap. It's just a plastic tube just like NYX glosses, and for the lipliner is okay and normal for a lip liner. You can sharpen the lip liner by the way.

The formula of this liquid lipstick is pretty liquid, and it has a vanilla cake smells but it does not overpowering. The lip liner is very creamy, and I love it. Both are very pigmented, and dry so fast. It does make your lips dry, but it is not the worst liquid lipstick I've tried. It still looks good after touch up, but a little does crumble after touch up. Staying power is great, it stays on me for 5 hours and after that I may need a little touch up. It does not bleed at all and smear all over your face. 

Candy K is a warm nude with a pink undertone. This color is perfect for my skintone. It's my new MLBB. 

Next is my second faves, Posie K. Posie K is a pink with a little bit puple on it. I love this shades. But I do not know why Posie K appears darker, and redder on my camera. I am so sorry about this. 

Koko K is a light nude pink with white in it. The white in it makes it not look so good on my lips. And to be honest, I am not so used with this type of shades. It is pretty on darker skin tone.

The last one is Dolce K. Dolce K is a darker nude with a little bit of peachiness. Dolce K looks so dark on my lips. But it is a perfect lipstick shade if you want a 90's look. This shade also will look so pretty on darker skin tone.

Overall, $29 for a liquid lipstick and a lipliner is pretty good in my opinion. It is not the best liquid lipstick, but it is great. But after shipping, and fees and blablabla, online shop does not sell this product that cheap. It is almost 2 times the prices here in Indonesia. 

Pros :

-Dries fast

-Not sticky at all

-Not so drying (compared to other liquid lipsticks)

-The lipliner is awesome

-Pigmented

-Smells nice

-Staying power is great

-Still looks good after second application (touch up)

Cons :

-It is pretty expensive here in Indonesia

-Color selection is not big

-The liquid lipstick has no stopper thingy

-The packaging is cute, but looks cheap

TIPS : Do scrub your lips and apply lip balm afterwards before you apply the liquid lipstick. This will help.
