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

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.

First Visit: Japan Beauty Week

Hi all,

Did you know that Kawaii Beauty Japan hosted an event in Atrium Plaza Senayan? It is called Japan Beauty Week. You can try to look for it on their Facebook page. Kawaii Beauty Japan

My office located next to the event place. So, I went there during our Tea Time Break around 4pm. It was quite easy to spot the event. There were not too many people yet. I think it will be crowded on weekend. Make sure you go and check the event.

These are the counters in Japan Beauty Week:

While I was looking, there is this lady from Kanebo counter, she asked me if I want to get free make up done by their famous Japanese Make up artist. So, I thought why not. It was free anyway. I said yes and they introduced me to Mr.Sakai. He didn't talk much but he knew "ke atas, ke bawah" when he gave me order whether to look down or up while he was doing my eyes. We developed some kind of sign language because we both not knowing each other language. He used sign when he wanted me to close my eyes or to look at his chin (why look at his chin? just so he could look at my face on a straight position)

He was very kind and attentive. I gave him my choice of make up and he decided on Japanese Style look, a very subtle look. I guess he looked at my soft pink outfit and thought that I might prefer sweet and subtle look. he was kinda wrong. I mean this was my first chance having a professional make up artist to do my face. I was hoping more of a make over or a surprise look. I mean sweet and subtle is my go-to look. I did that almost every time.

The colors of the eyeshadow look pretty, but when he applied it on my eye lids, it wasn't very pigmented. He already used Lunasol Eye Primer too, but still almost couldn't see the colors. This was kinda disappointing. I guess it was because of my skin color. The effect might be different for someone with fair or lighter skin color. I have dark skin color. So, I need more pigmented color.

Here is the final look:

However, boyfriend said he really likes my look. It does look sweet and suitable to my sweater. So, I was kinda content with his work, not necessarily the products tho. I do like their eye mascara (I forgot to take a picture of it), their soft color lipgloss (it doesn't taste oily and sticky on the lips). I might decide to buy them later. So, make sure to visit Kanebo counter and check some of their stuffs too. It might be suitable for your skin color. You will get free sample if you try the make up look by Mr.Sakai. He was very nice and really good at what his job.,quite perfectionist I would say.

Went to second counter, I got free skin and hair check up in Kracie Hadabisei. The result said that i have perfectly healthy skin despite of the hair coloring. Yeaaaay. Tho...hiks the result also said that I have oily skin yet lack of moisture. Go ahead check your skin there and they will give you free sample too if you fill up their questionnaire.

 These are the samples I collected from the event. I got some from Kracie Hadabisei (2 masks and Shampoo Set) and I got Brightening Lotion from Kanebo. I am actually excited to use the one from Kanebo. After listening to the Kanebo lady in Sogo Counter, it really sound that this product is a good one. I will try to use it and we will see if it makes any change or not after a week of using.

So, what are you waiting for? Visit the event while they are still there. Japan Beauty Week will still be in Plaza Senayan till this Sunday (26th January 2014). Maybe I will see you again there.

Love,

Suci Park

Quick Review: Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

Gyaaaaaaaaaaa Finally I got my Wonder Pore. This is the product that I have always want for past couple of months I saw a blogpost about it.

I asked boyfriend to buy me this in Incheon Airport on his way to Indonesia from America. He looked around for Etude House store but couldn't find it. I forgot the store was on Garuda Terminal, not in the main terminal. So he had to visit 3 Duty Free stores to find it.
Funny thing happened when he was looking for this stuff. He keep having trouble with the sales person since they barely speak English (weird they work in Airport with soooo many foreigners). He said 2 sales person in 2 previous stores hinted (his guess) that the Wonder Pore is solo popular that it is always sold out. So when boyfriend asked for it, they just said "No more pore, no more pore!". I guess maybe what they meant to say is that the Wonder Pore is sold out..hahaha same thing also happened when he asked for Cracked Nail Polish from Face Shop, the sales person just said "no more nails..no more nails" makes no sense at all.
Finally he found it on the 3rd store...pfffffuiiih. I am just so glad he did.

He bought me the biggest size of 500ml for price of 15$ almost the same price with Indonesian price for Wonder Pore 250ml.
See the comparison of how big it is with my hand.

I got one free Alphabet Mask "B-Bulgarian Rose" yeaaay

Here is how it looks like on the back and side cover of the packaging;

And here is what the lid of the bottle looks like;

push on the lid and the liquid will come out.

I put a short video on how to get the liquid out.  Here

The bottle is too big for me to use and according to the picture on the back cover of the packaging, it says I can use it as face mist too. So I took some of it out and put it on a pink bottle.

Hehe it looks so cute when it stands near the big bottle. I just used it once or twice. So I won't be able to make result review yet. But I will try to update it once I got the visible result. Btw, I also planning to try this product on my boyfriend's skin. He has orange skin pore because he used to have acnes. I would like to see if this product is as good as what people say even if the skin problem is more visible. I have pores but not as big. What annoys me the most is the tip of the nose area. It's clogged. I hope this product will make it better.

Hope you enjoy the quick product review. Follow me for update on the product result. I will try to review Face Shop: Face It CC Cream and Tony Moly: Luminous Aura CC Cream and the comparison of both products.

Stay Tune and Stay Healthy!

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.
Night Cosmetic Routine

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.
