Assalamu'alaikum,

Hi, before January ends, I like to write best skin care products in 2014. I prefer to write best skin care than makeup products because I tried a lot of makeup products. That's why I can't decided which the best makeup products in 2014 *lol*. However, my skin can't lie which is better. When I was a teenager :P I have uncomplaining skin condition but now my skin has many problems. It because I heart makeup so much #lol, so I must invest my money to buy skin care products. 

Taraa... they're best skin care products in 2014 based on my version XD

Maybe in 2013, I didn't really concern about healthy lips but last year matte lipstick is being trend. Guess what! I'm a person who is following a trend,hehe. So if I want a pretty matte lipstick has pretty appearance in my lips I must take care of  my lips :P. I'm scrubbing my lips once a week and using a lip care as a day and night routine. My favorite lip care product comes from local brand, it's Sariayu Lip Care. It has a mint sensation that I like much and of course it gives moisture effect. The important thing is I can get it with very affordable price. You can check in online.marthatilaarshop.com.

The part of skin care routine which I can't leave every week is scrubbing,hehe. I often wear face mask and of course I did scrubbing before it to exfoliate dead skin and make my skin smoother. Since I often  wear a mask, I prefer a less rough scrub. My favorite is also from local brand, Biokos Exfoliating Lotion. What I love much about this product is gives tight and smooth effect on my skin. Although, if you want  blackheads or whiteheads go away, you need rougher scrub.

Finally, I can't hold from the famous product from SK II, FTE (Facial Treatment Essence). If you ask why I took a travel size picture? because I purchased in travel size packaging. Until now, I've spent 10 bottle in travel size (10 ml). I want to buy a full size (75 ml) but I'm afraid the bottle is broken in shipment. If I live in Jakarta it doesn't matter, I just go to a mall and buy in SK II counter but I live in the place where I can't find a mall *lol* 

Many friends ask to me how it works in my skin but I was lazy to make a review because I don't have a real product *I mean in full size packaging*. However it was one of my favorite skin care in 2014. Favorite question that asked to me is "is that really make your skin like a crystal?" hohoho Of course not :P, but it helps to stabilize my skin. I often got a breakout and it can being worse and I hate it. It often happen because I  used so many products. But after I used FTE, my skin looks more calm. I still have breakout but not really worst. That's why I love this products though it didn't give crystal skin look effect to me *lol*

As usual, I tried a lot of mask products. And my favorite mask in 2014 is Mint Julep Masque. I won't talking much about this product because I've wrote the review, you can read here: http://ofisuredii.blogspot.com/2014/09/queen-helene-mint-julep-masque-review.html

Yay, my best serum in 2014, Clinique repair laser focus,hehe. Even though I haven't had wrinkles yet, I like how it transfer into my skin. You also can read my review here: http://ofisuredii.blogspot.com/2014/05/new-clinique-repairwear-laser-focus.html.

Maybe that's not my favorite but it's what I needed the most for protecting my skin from UV. I tried a lot of uv protection products or sunblock but the texture is annoyed me, but it wasn't. Maybe you can read a bit review here: http://ofisuredii.blogspot.com/2015/01/city-essential-pack-beauty-box-from-l.html

Assalamu'alaykum

Hi all, that's my beauty box which L'oreal sent to me last year. Fine, I wasn't a good blogger because I make super duper late post until the year end. However it's better than never *my excuse* :P

Theme for this beauty box is City Essential Pack

The box consists of excellence fashion, uv perfect instant white, true match bb cream and fall repair 3x aminexil.

Riza Arif Rahman, group product manager L'oreal Paris Hair and Men Expert said, " Mengerti akan kebutuhan setiap wanita urban Indonesia untuk selalu tampil lebih hidup dan extraordinary, kami mengemas produk-produk baru kami dalam City Essential Pack"

(We were packing our products in city essential pack because we know what Indonesian urban women needed, for always feel a life and extraordinary)

L'oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Cure Aminexil

There are a lot of things that make your hair is damaged like pollution, sun, and hair styling. L'oreal Fall Repair helps to nourish your hair. Aminexil is a recent innovation technology from L'oreal Paris Laboratory which has a popular benefit to prevent from stiffening of collagen hair roots, so hair growth cycle back to normal. Aminexil also can prevent from baldness. Fall Repair 3 X also contains of arginine amino acids and proteins which can help strengthen hair and make hair growth faster. I have been using this for a month and it helps to reduce my hair loss.

Unless benefits from this product I love the smell much. It's kind of sweet fruit and flower *sorry I'm bad to describe a scent*. It was smell nice on my hair. 

UV Perfect Instant White

They explain what you need to know about this product. 

This how it looks, a packaging is travel friendly and I love to bring it anywhere. This is made from plastic, I don't need to worry if I don't arrange well in my bag *I'm messy person,hehe* That's also really cute with pink design :P

You can apply after moisturizer before applying makeup

I often found sunblock with high spf with sticky texture and leave oily in my skin. But, it didn't :) Maybe it's little bit oily if I was applying on my face but it wasn't super oily. It's very light and has liquid texture, gives instant whiter look but it didn't make white cast if I took a picture. I didn't really matter with the scent but I didn't say it was good. UV Perfect Instant White makes instant fairness skin effect but it didn't make my skin brighter or whiter in long term uses. I don't know how it works for protecting my face from UV A and UV B. But I hope much, it will protect my skin from anything wicked about sun,hahaha.

True Match BB Cream

I got  ivory shade or N1. 

I didn't notice that it's the first bb cream from L'oreal with skin care after I wrote this review *lol*. But for me bb cream is a makeup not skin care. If it contains bla bla for skin care benefit, it just a bonus,hehe. True Match BB Cream claims that it will give coverage like foundation because it contains of Vitamin Cg and Adenosine which can even up skin tone, camouflage spots and make skin texture is smoother. It also protects skin from UV damage because it has spf 35 PA++. Like multifunction bb cream, it has moisturizer benefit until 8 hours because it contains of Hyaluronat Sodium and Glycerin. True Match BB Cream has 2 different shades, ivory and gold.

Ingredients

I love the gold packaging because it looks luxurious :P 

The texture is very liquid, I always over put out and you don't need to squeeze it. It will flow naturally *lol* I think it has medium coverage, my spots is covered but I still need concealer if I want it's invisible. It leaves glowing effect and bit oily so I must touch with translucent powder. This bb cream didn't cakey at all. It was just staying maybe 3 until 4 hours indoor, yeah I have oily-combination skin. I need great oil control compact powder if I want it stay all day long. However I like it because it feels light in my skin and didn't make my skin breakout if I was cleaning makeup properly :p. Almost forgot, the scent is really yuck, I don't like it, it smells like a drug.

L'oreal Paris Excellence Fashion

I got it in copper brown

I haven't used it yet but I used another color recently. Sorry I forget what is exactly the color :(. Excellence Fashion has 5 different colors, which are Diamond black, shapphire black, intense copper brown, intense violet brown, and golden nude brown.

Excellence Fashion has Triple Care, which consists of pre-color serum, coloring creme pro-keratin, and protective conditioner. This innovation will make your hair healthy, strong and smooth, though you were coloring your hair. 

That's contents of the box 

Assalamu'alaikum,

Hi, today I will share about hair, hair and hair. Is that important to you? I believe that hair is important for boys or girls. I care about my hair, sometimes :P I love my long hair even I'm lazy to comb my hair almost everyday hahaha. But I always take care of it, If I don't, my hair is being tousled XD That's why I take a good care of my hair. My big problem about my hair is hair loss. My mom asked me to cut my hair but I don't really want to let it go,heheh So, I tried a lot of hair tonic or hair growth products. Thank you to Kaminomoto Indonesia, who introduce and sent me this product. They sent me shampoo, conditioner, and hair growth accelerator. I tried shampoo and conditioner in sample size and I really love it. They have mint sensation and a conditioner is really easy to wash, I mean it didn't leave sticky feeling in my back.

Hair growth accelerator is hair loss stimulates regrowth. It made from extracts of Kujin (Sophora Radix), Kurara (Sophora Angustifolia), Enmeiso (Isodon Japonicus) and Rosemary. I didn't have an idea about Kaminomoto's natural ingredients XD. I thought that they're plants which just growth in Japan.

Talk about the function, it's helping to stop hair loss and stimulate regrowth. The Kanzo extract also prevents inflammation of the scalp and keeps it healthy. I was excited to try it because my big hair's problem is hair loss. Honestly, there is a bundle of hair loss that I throw away every day. I guess that there're some possibilities that causes my hair problems:

so, if I don't really take care of my hair, my hair become so tousled and dry T,T I can't skip to use conditioner after wash my hair even the times when I was too lazy to do hair treatment. If I didn't do that I must cut my hair because it become really really tousled until I can't split it with my fingers.

ups, sorry I just talked a lot about my hair problems. Back to hair loss problem and Kaminomoto Hair Growth Accelerator :)

 

Kaminomoto is produced by Japan company since 1908 and now it distributed by PT. Best Brilliant Indonesia. When I saw the box, I thought that  it must have naturals ingredients because the design of box looks like a nice souvenir which made from wood,hehe

 

There are Japanese letter in the packaging, but you don't need to worry because it also has direction in English too :)

 

Ingredients

There are some extracts that I mention before :)

Packaging made from glass, typically hair tonic packaging. It is a fragile thing but I think that I don't need bring my hair accelerator if I go traveling, do you? XD A month ago, I brought it moving, I put it on my suitcase, I wrap it with protective plastic and it's still fine. The size is 150 ml, I use it almost everyday one until three drops. I put on cotton and I pat on my scalp.

 

This how the bottle tube looks :) It's easy to poured on cotton. The smell is really nice, strong of natural ingredients but it's nice. I love to smell it before I go to bed, so using a Kaminomoto hair growth is part of my night routine.

Does it really help to reduce hair loss? yaaa, I like it a lot XD my hair loss is reduced. Though it still happens but it's reduced *yay* Kaminomoto also helps my hair growth fast, I notice my bangs growth so fast. Maybe I hate it because I must cut my bangs more often than usual by my own, but it's good news, right? I'm not a pro of course but I didn't have times for cutting bangs to salon, hehe. Sometimes I put it not only on my scalp but on my hair too because I like the smell and cool sensation *lol*

Pros

- the smell is nice and loving a cool sensation

- helps reduced hair loss

- helps my hair growth faster than usual

- didn't cause dandruff and didn't make my scalp irritation

Cons

- difficult to find this product, maybe just available in drugstores in a big city

Take a good care of every inch of your body :) It reflects how do you love your self XD

Last, I want to say my deepest condolences to all families who've lost their loved ones in QZ8501 tragedy :( Lets pray for all victims *Al Fatihah*

Enjoy your last day in 2014 everyone :)

Assalamu'alaykum,

Hi all, apa kabar? kali ini aku mau membahas tentang two way cake atau bedak padat. Secara umum, bedak yang kita kenal itu ada dua yaitu loose powder atau bedak tabur dan two way cake atau bedak padat. Meskipun sekarang lebih banyak macamnya tapi overall bisa digolongkan masuk kedua jenis itu. Keunggulan bedak padat itu lebih praktis buat dibawa traveling karena biasanya packagingnya disertai dengan kaca dan ada sponsnya. Selain itu menurutku finishingnya membuat make up kelihatan lebih halus. Recently, aku mencoba dua bedak padat yang berbeda, yaitu L'oreal Mat Magique All in One dan Maybelline White Superfresh. Makanya aku kepikiran untuk membandingkannya, karena agak mirip sih *sama-sama bedak padat maksudnya :p

Kalau dari segi packaging sebenarnya selera ya, kalau L'oreal designnya dibuat elegan dengan warna ungu dan menurutku cocok banget dibawa ke kantor, designnya office lady banget. Kalau Maybelline menurutku lebih girly dan simple dengan warna putih. Maybelline White Superfresh memang ditujukan untuk remaja jadi sesuai laa, kan ga terlalu mencolok kalau dibawa ke sekolah xD Honestly, kalau aku lebih suka designnya maybelline, suka aja warnanya putih hehe *masih jiwa ABG* wkwkwk

Mat magique cocok banget buat dibawa kemana-mana, ada spons dan kaca. Packagingnya juga terbuat dari plastik jadi aman sepertinya kalau kebanting-banting hehe

Mat Magique All in One, matte transforming powder yang ber-spf 34 PA ++. Bebas Kilap 12 jam karena mengandung mineral Volcanic Perlite. Mat Magique ini terdiri dari 3 shade yaitu Nude Ivory, Nude Vanilla dan Golden Ivory.

Aku mendapatkan shade yang paling terang, yaitu nude ivory

N1, Nude Ivory

Mat Magique ini cakey di kulit aku ketika dipakai tanpa foundation atau bb cream, mungkin karena shadenya yang terlalu terang jadi tidak menyatu dengan kulit. Tetapi ketika aku pakai setelah foundation atau bb cream finishingnya bagus dan kulit menjadi lebih halus. Oil controlnya bagus dan membuat wajah matte, sayangnya tidak sampai 12 jam, untuk dipakai indoor bisa tahan hingga 6 jam. Kulit aku tipe yang berminyak banget.

Maybelline White SuperFresh

Sama seperti L'oreal, White superfresh ini dilengkapi spons dan kaca. Tetapi packagingnya menurutku lebih fragile dibanding L'oreal.

Long Lasting UV Cake Powder, tampak cerah, bebas kilap, terasa segar hingga 12 jam. White superfresh juga dilengkapi dengan SPF 34 dan PA++. Klaim dan kandungan SPF nya sama dengan Mat Magique :) White Superfresh mempunyai pilihan shade yang lebih banyak yaitu light, nude beige, natural, honey dan sand beige. 

3, Natural

Finishing white superfresh lebih menyatu di kulit atau tidak cakey ketika dipakai tanpa bb cream atau foundation, mungkin karena warnanya lebih mendekati tone kulit aku. Tetapi hasilnya tetap lebih bagus ketika dipakai setelah bb cream atau foundation. Untuk tanpa bb cream aku lebih suka maybelline white superfresh tetapi kalau dengan bb cream aku lebih memilih L'oreal Mat Magique karena hasil make up nya lebih smooth. White superfresh ataupun Mat Magique sama-sama mengklaim bebas kilap 12 jam dan pemenangnya Mat Magique meskipun tidak sampai 12 jam juga sih wajah aku sudah minyakan hehe

Assalamu'alaykum,

Hi, who loves has healthy and glowing skin? Everybody does :) so do I. However, year by year I addicted to makeup and I forgot for giving a lot of concern to my skin :( I was busy playing with my makeup stuff. Of course, I still use skincare  but I didn't try so hard to take care my skin well. But, now I realize that I need my healthy skin back. So I promise to myself that I will spend more money to buy skincare than makeup *but I still bought some makeup stuffs :p* 

I know that I can go to treatment in beauty clinic, but I was too lazy go to clinic because Jakarta has crazy traffic jam and I didn't want my money was gone because I took treatment regularly *lol*. Moreover, the places is quite far from my home. So, I decided to buy a tool which has benefit like beauty treatment in clinic. 

Neutrogena Microdermabrasion system :) When I heard about this product I thought that wow I can do microdermabrasion any time when I want. So, I search many review about this because I didn't want to regret after I was buying this tool. All reviews which I read said that It was great.

You can see the box, they wrote promising claims such us wrinkles, pores, age spot and firmness :) If I did microdermabrasion in beauty clinic, I felt my skin being softer, brighter and firmer. So I hope It could give as same as result if I did microdermabrasion in beauty clinic.

It comes from microdermabrasion applicator, 12 rejuvenating puff, attachment head and 2 AA batteries. The box is kind of type drugstore packaging, just simple.

This a microdermabrasion applicator, you can push the button up to use it. Don't forget to put the batteries on the back. It needs two batteries.

This the attachment head. You can put it on the applicator and take it off  if you have done. If you switch the button on, it will give vibration effect. It wasn't spinning like cleansing brush.

It has 12 rejuvenating puff, if you use it once a week you can use it until 3 months. The direction said that you can use 3 times a week to place of your scrub but I think it will be over exfoliate if I used it 3 time a week. 

The puff is blue and has slightly rough surface. You must make it wet with water before you put in the attachment head. Is the color will fade after using this? Yes the blue color will fade :)

direction to use this stuff ;)

You can see, how it's very promising. The first time I used it, yes my skin felt softer and my pores get smaller. However after I used it maybe 4 or 5 times my skin was breakout :( Fine, my skin was more softer and I love to touch it but I got breakout in my cheeks. I just feel desperate because It wasn't great like every review did :( 

I tried about one and half months but the result was't like what I expected. The description wrote that in 4 weeks 88% can significantly reduced wrinkles or age spot. Okay, I don't have wrinkle or age spot so I just notice that my skin was smoother and my pores got significantly smaller after 1 month, but it wouldn't necessary again if my skin was breakout :( I just leave this tool for a while, but someday I just think to use this tool again. I thought that maybe I did massage too long until blue color of puff is fade. It seems true, my skin breakout because over exfoliate. After that I massage my face faster than the past. The result wasn't great like before but my skin didn't breakout again. For the last, I didn't regret bought this stuff, I know my skin was breakout but now it's fine again. I still like it to replace my scrub because it works more significant than scrub. My tips is don't over exfoliate if you're using it. I don't know why, it was making me breakout, maybe my skin just too sensitive :( 

If I compare the result with microdermabrasion in beauty clinic, of course micro in clinic win. Why? because neutrogena didn't make my skin bright like when I did micro in clinic. But it cheaper than you go to beauty clinic. 

Neutrogena didn't available yet in Indonesia, so I must by online and if it isn't available I must wait patiently because they buy on US or Canada T,T You know that shipping for US is quite take the time. For the price, I think it's cheap because you can get only $ 19,99 in neutrogena website or $23,99 in ulta.com. I got it around IDR 400 thousand (based on exchange rate) for 12 puff, it means I can use 12X times :P

Good luck for your skin ladies ^^

Love

A
