Quick Review: Em Life Palette (Love Life)

Aloha....Chicas..

I am back with another review. This one that I have promised you a while ago. I know I said I would wrote the review on early January but I got sick the past 2 weeks and his parents visiting from the States to meet my parents, love life has taken over. Right now, finally after 2 weeks of relentless coughing, I feel a lot better now.

So here I am, writing a review in between Tea Time break (in the office..sssttt)

I promise you that I have never used this EM Life Palette before I give you my review. I am pretty excited to finally make a review and finally I will be able to use it for daily needs or special occasion.

Here it is.. the Oh-SO-Gorgeous EM Life Palette (Love Life)

I love the packaging on how practice it is for me to pick any of my fav colors for a small compact size. The colors on this palette, some of them, I like it. But the rest, I would say my least favorite. Actually, I prefer the colors from the Beach Palette but I won't be able to use it as often for daily use.

I got a card contains information of each colors.

I haven't put a sticker above each palettes

under room light and no flash

 I could not get any good swatches due to lack of light. I will try to get it next time on a deeper review. For now, I am giving you my first and quick review of the palette.

Love:
1. The Gorgeous yet sleek packaging
2. Comes with free compact size
3. Easy to pluck in and out the colors if I wanna get it for my compact size
4. I like some of the colors (100% for the blush, 70% for the eyeshadow, 55% for the lip stain)
5. The shimmer colors on all of those shimmer ones are pretty normal and natural for daily looks.
6. Love the magnet pluck out thingy to help me remove the color blocks from the palette.
7. Decent 2 edges brush
8. Has better experience with this eyeshadow than the one I tried from Kanebo.
9. Easy to use and comes with lots of tutorial on YouTube.

Less:
1. The palette bowl color is white, so it is easily stained. (At least, it is easy remove the stain.)
2. I don't really care for some of the colors, especially for the lip stain.
3. The colors is not as opaque or as pigmented as I thought it will be.
4. Way too expensive for my range.

I think EM Cosmetics is a new brand and they are still experiencing glitch in some of their products. I fully understand it tho. I think EM hasn't reach its best potential yet. They definitely have good potential and I am still looking forward to their next best invention. I hope they haven't done experimenting on the colors and the quality of the products. I sincerely hope they will make a Life Palette 2.0 with better products quality, better consistency on the color's pigments and opaqueness.

Overall: 7.5
*) I still think this is a good product. Easy to use and practice. However, I still think they can do better with the quality of the products, at least this one (haven't tried other yet).
**) Do I think it is worth 75$? Maybe not quite there yet.
***) Will I repurchase? I might wanna try some other palettes like Beach Palette. But, and only if it is around 50$ or less. Unless, I really love this product so much (quality, colors, etc) then maybe I won't mind the 75$ price.

Bonus:

First time using it. Yeaaay. A very soft look for lips and eyes.

Unboxing: Beauty Treats Indonesia (December Box)

Hi there,

I am really sleepy. I am typing with half eye close. It is almost 12pm and soon it will be midnight. I am sleepy but I owe it to you all to make this post.

I just got my first ever and probably last box of Beauty Treats Indonesia. Result? Disappointed, of course. Like before with their Crabtree&Evelyn event. Seems like BTI hasn't win my like for anything yet. So, I won't continue my subscription. But, if you like the products, and you think it is all good enough..then it is up to you to do whatsoever you deem fit.

Before I said anything about the box and my opinion about it. Let me share you the pictures of the unboxing process.

 I kinda like the blue color box. it looks so pretty. I should say this is the part that I like the most.

Contains:

 1. Secret Key Snow White Cream (Sample 2ml)
2. Secret Kiss Let Me Know CC Cream (Sample 2ml)
3. Secret Key Dragon Blood Essence (Sample 2ml)
4. Makarizo Nutriv Serum (1 ampule)
5. Lavie Lash (Real size)
6. Enrico Coveri EDT for Her and Him (Sample 3ml)

Too many samples on one box. I am disappointed because I was hoping that this box will be Christmas related or Holiday related box. But it really doesn't feel like holiday to me. I wish they would put things that is actually useful in a better size. I think samples should be count as free. How petty!

I mean how fun it would be to get bigger size products that worth a money that we spent for. Samples are suppose to be free. I mean it is so easy to get samples. Samples everywhere is free. Why would they count this in. And they put 2 Crabtree&Evelyn booklets. I am still not very pond of them. I went to their event paying 100k rupiah and BTI claimed that the event will give me a goodie bag worth 300k. Turned out we could only get the goodie bag if we spent money buying product.

I pointed it out the store manager that they didn't put Term&Condition Apply on the poster. So, the goodie bag should be for everyone who paid the money. Then they finally gave us the goodie bag. The kind of bag that you will get for shopping in food store, the Saving the Earth kinda bag, and 3 small samples of Crabtree&Evelyn. That was a joke. Those things 'goodie bag' that worth 300k.. yeah right!!

Anyway, result of my box today.......jreeeeng jreng jreng jreeeeng...no more BTI. Unless they improve themselves first and stop treating customer as if we are dumb. 300k goodie bag....lol #straightfaceandtypelol

First Vlog: Beginner Vlogger, Night Make up Routine

Hiyaaa...

I am excited to let you know that finally I muster my courage to upload this first video of me reviewing/commenting/telling on Beauty Products or Beauty Routine.

But I have to remind you, I was really nervous on my first video and I messed up al the grammars. It was like complete gibberish. However, I still want to put myself more out there. This is definitely a beginner video. I haven't even figure it out on how to create better video. This video that I upload was not going to any editing process. I want to be honest to the viewer that I am indeed posting my first video. I promise I will keep learning to make better quality video and better way of delivering speech on Beauty Products.

This video is about my night routine. I will post it on other blog post for detail review of the products I used on the video. I hope you will like my video despite of the lack of professionally in my part.

Have a great day, Chikas!

Please, be nice to me commenter. I am new at this. But I really hope you will like my look for this challenge.
The theme that I choose is "The Gold Beauty".

Here is a picture before putting on some makeup.

 I added some line using lip liner first to make it easier shaping the mask.

These are the almost finish to finish look.

Finally with a messy hair look for a finish.

I am wearing tank top in the last 2 pictures but my hair makes it look like I am almost topless hihihi..

I am not sure if I am gonna win the MUC. But I had a good time trying this make up..so winning is not my goal. Learning and process of doing were achievement as baby step for me, a newborn Beauty Blogger. I hope you like this look and feel inspired to create your own look.
