Review: Glam Glow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

Hi Chicas,

It has been a while since last week when I posted a quick review on EM Life Palette (Love Life). Now I am back with a new review of Glam Glow YouthMud. I am sure some of my fellow blogger and beauty gurus already put/wrote a review on this product. So, this one is basically my personal experience and opinion after using it twice.

I got this product from the Giant who came visiting from America. So, i got it for a cheaper price around 35$ from Amazon. The Indonesian price for this product is around 70$, twice the original price.

Here it is the packaging and unboxing it;

It says on the box that it contains;

1. Youth formula

2. Natural Ingredients

3. For All skin types

4. For Men and Women

5. Paraben Free

6. Vegan and No Animal Cruelty

I was quite surprise when I opened the packaging. I got a message from Glam Glow that made my day.

It says "Hello Sexy" yeaaaay!!!

Left: First Time
Right: Second Time

Before (Left) & After (Right)

2nd Try (Left) & Before 1st Try (Right)

I believe I don't even have to say anything. Despite of the different lightning, I am sure you can see the different on the before, after, and after 2nd try. So far, I am loving it. However, for a girl with low pain tolerance, the tingling feels a bit stronger than I would expect. I am sure it is nothing for most people. But I am always be that girl who scream in massage parlor or beauty parlor when they give me scrub treatment or back massage treatment during cream bath routine. I have low tolerance of pain, lower than most people. so, I am pretty sure the tingle feeling might not be that strong or that annoying to most people. 

Love:

1. The Packaging

2. The message of "Hello Sexy"

3. The ingredients

4. The effect on my skin

Less:

1. The smell is a bit too strong for me.

2. The tingle feeling

3. The price (if I have to buy it in Indonesia)

I will let you to decide whether it is worth the price or not and whether it is worth to buy or not. I hope you will have a wonderful experience using it too.

Have a Wonderful Day, Wonderful People

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

under room light with flash

with stickers above each palettes

compact size (combination of each series)

 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.

New Year 2014 Beauty Resolution and Late Christmas Gifts

Hi there, beloved readers!!!

Happy New Year of 2014! Yuhuuuuuu!!!!
Have a great holiday? I hope you did.

I just got back 3 days ago to Jakarta after 8 days Overland trip to Bali-Bromo and boyfriend who has been away for 6 months also coming back 2 days ago.

He bought me some stuffs from Korea since his flight had to make a stop in Incheon. He had to stay overnight there and decided to buy me some stuffs that I have always wanted.

These are what he got for me;

1. Korean Snacks and Coffee
2. Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner and Alphabet mask "B-Bulgarian Rose"
3. Tony Moly Luminous Aura CC Cream
4. Face Shop Face it Color Control CC Cream

I forgot to put other pictures of candy and snacks that he also bought from Korea. He bought Korean sambal/chili paste (Ssamjjang and Gochujang) for me. He has no idea what was it. I guess he thinks it was pudding or something. Silly guy.  Too bad he can't find Smart Digital BB Cream from Face Shop and Nail Polish too. He got this from Duty Free. They only sells the best seller stuff.

New Year Resolutions

I went to Bali for an 8 days Overland trip of Bali-Bromo. My skin color has become more tan now. I spent New Year party in Kuta Beach with so manyyyyy people. It is like people from all over the world came to celebrate New Year in Kuta and Seminyak area.

I was with my Indonesian, Argentinian, and Italian friends there. My 2 beautiful Argentinian friends taught me what they usually do for New Year tradition that will bring good luck. I think it is like a cleansing ceremony that involves people throwing water. They also taught me to say 'Cing" for a toast drink, like 'cheers'. My Italian friend, on the other hand, opened a bottle of wine right after the New Year and told us that it is better to drink wine on New Year. He taught us to wash our ears with Wine as a New Year tradition. It was soooo much fun.

Anyway, this New Year made me thinking. Do I have any resolution this year? I guess I do and some it involves Beauty life too. Here they are;
1. Write more blog posts
2. Learn more tricks to do make up
3. Be braver on using make up ( I am new on make up thingy, sometimes I am still too afraid of using make up)
4. Don't let others determine how you feel about yourself.
(I had some friends who seem to like commenting on people's body, especially my body parts. For example: I don't look nice in a picture because I look chubbier, or my arm looks too huge, my boobs looks shaggy, etc. Usually it always comes with 'nice' advice, like I should go to a gym and get my boobs&arms shape perfectly, or wearing clothes that will hide my horrible huge looking arms. I don't know if they mean well or maybe they did. But do they know that saying those things will just hurt the recipient? From that experience, I decided that when someone says all those horrible words to me. I will let them know that I don't like it. Hopefully they will understand. I mean we are woman with decent educational background why bother degrading ourselves by commenting on someone's body parts? Leave my body parts alone, thank you for your concern. Let me be happy with what I have. Sigh I got emotional again. I really dislike it when my friends commenting on my body parts. I love my friends but I hate what they said about my body parts. I have never ever comment about how fat her tummy looks or her face covered with acne, etc. Why? Because I know better than that and I don't know how the recipient will take it if I say those comments. I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling by saying so. I have way too many concerns other than your body parts. Besides, I think all women are pretty when they have their own flaws. It makes us humanly pretty.)
So that were my Beauty Resolutions.

Do you have any Beauty Resolutions for 2014? If you have it, do share it with us. Maybe a new blogpost about your New Year Beauty Resolution and share it with your reader. Tag me or copy paste your link on the comment section, I will definitely check it out.

Happy New Year, Happy People.

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!

Quick Review of Package from Korea

Hi there,

I felt like it has been a while I haven't show up with new post. Eventho days ago I already post something. I just feel like I miss you all. So, i am posting a quick review of a package that just arrive in the office.

I bought the stuffs from Qoo10. It took a month or more till the package arrived safely on my desk. Here they are;

 Dew Lite Eyes : Tear Liner, Luxury Gold

Clubpartra: Waterproof Gel Pencil Liner, Shine Blue

Prestige: Crème D'Escargot (3 samples)

 This is how it looks from behind

I took the stuffs out from the packaging.

The swap result on my skin. The gel liner (Shine Blue) need several times of applying till I got those colors there (2 or 3 times). As for the Tear Liner (Luxury Gold), it doesn't really looks like gold color to me. The liquid is very lumpy, so the line that i make is different each time I tried to apply it. You either can get good color within one swap or you need more swaps.

Pro:
1. Love the packaging
2. Unknown brand (which means not many people using it)
3. Mildly like the shine blue color

Contra:
1. Unknown brand (has not been tested whether good or not, since not many people has using it)
2. The gel liner seems like easy to break pencil
3. Seems like it is gonna be hard for me to sharpen the pencil
4. I don't really like the color of the Tear Liner
5. The Tear Liner is very lumpy. Make it harder to apply it on the skin.

Overall:
I am not gonna repurchase it.

I will collect the samples for now. No intention of using it yet.

Liebster Award and What is it?

Horeeee I got nominated to get Liebster Award. I got so excited this morning when I read a blog comment that someone nominated me for this award. So, I thought what kind of award is this? I decided to research more for this award. So here is what I found;

Liebster award is a kind of like chain mail. There won't be any team celebrating your winning, no team giving you the award or no gift what so ever. Definitely no strings attach. It is a fake award created to get more traffic ( I suppose, or any other reason). Here is a link for more thorough research on Liebster Award Liebster Origin.

There are so many rules and it keep changing all the time, someone said you have to nominate 11 blogger with less than 200 follower, some other said to nominate 5 blogger with less than 3000 readers. The one that I got is to nominate 11 blogger with less than 200 follower and answer 11+make 11 question for those you nominated. It does require a little bit extra work. But no harm in trying. This Liebster Award might not be genuine but It might help new blogger or less famous blogger to get more traffic and to be recognized by readers.
