HG ! Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation - Glow (W2) Review (Late Post - May)

Note: this is a late post,actually going to publish on the end of May.

Hey guys!
I'm so excited to post this!


As you can see I'm not a fan of foundation since it's quite heavy and smells and it shows flakes on skin (okay,I'm still amateur that time and only use one brand that my mom bought for me for my inauguration party since I don't have ANY makeup, and the first two times using this , magic!but later the 3rd and 4th is disappointing and when I feel(?) closely it's just ewww and never wear it again,and that time I only wear it probably only 4times for big occassions (I'm using Artistry that time,so that's my shallow opinion for all foundation,but guess not true of course,every brand has its own types))  and few months later I discovered bb cream and love to wear it since it's not heavy even though the coverage is decent,and swore that I'll always use bb cream. Yep,past tense,I broke it.
How I can moved to foundation?well that time I'm searching for reviews of bb creams since I want to change my bb cream and when I'm searching and searching suddenly there's a pop of this baby's review and decided to read it,and guess what it looks promising! I hurried searching for more reviews and all the reviews are positive! I was like "I MUST BUY THIS!" ,but.... i have a problem with the shade and confused and later I picked w2 hoping it'll match.
So,finally it came! But seriously I was afraid to try it for almost 2 weeks and finally tried it,and regret why I don't use it earlier! Lol
So actually this foundation seems have been reformulated or sth since there's the label of the season. This new season has 2 kinds , the fitting and glow.
The fitting one suits oily skin sincw it'll give more matte look while the glow suita dry skin.
I picked glow aince my skin is dry lately and for oily skin products always shows dry patches.
The glow has highlighter (pink) on it that works as a volumer thingy
This new season is also has fewer shades from 6 became 4.

  1.here it is! Quite high SPF!
 2.the back. They said that their boxes are made from soy ink paper stuffs that eco-friendly. So it's good!







3 & 4. The left and right sides,claims to be:
*covers effectively
*long lasting
*high moisture
*3free system (forgot what)
*contains mineral powder and jeju green tea /o3o)/☆

5. Click to open
6.first thing you can see, a mirror and a puff
7. Zoom!there's a plastic lid to hold the puff and to seperate it from the foundation.hygienic!
8.the back of the puff where you apply the foundation,it's in blue color and it' said that the puff is air puff that will gives airbrush finish aka flawless!
9. Idk but I think it's cute and hesitated for a week or two to use it lol
With flash*
See the pink one?it is for highlighting property to give you that glowy look.no worry,there's no shimmer









10.without flash













11.zoom with flash













Sorry I don't have any swatch whatsoever .
So my first impression using this : "wth ! Why I just found this now?!"
Yeap,it's easy to use and covers really good , even you put layers you still look natural! Sometimes people don't notice that you're wearing makeup!
Just dip some and pat pat to your face, don't spread it,just pat. But in some case you need to do spread movement when you applied to much in some spot.
The texture is creamy and the puff included is perfect,giving airbrush finish aka flawless.
I've tried dip my finger and pat to some spots but mostly it'll leave fingerprint :/ so,the puff is very important,don't lose it! I heard this is air puff so you can't just replace it with some crappy sponge and complaint about the finish.
What annoys me is cleaning the puff even though I cleanse it with my brush cleaner and even though it's not dirty,sometimes I got clumsy and the puff fell off -_- and not to mention it will dry for days -_- i suggest you to go get 1 more puff for backup.
For the longevity,...I usually don't touch up and when I get back home at night (from 7-8am) i don't know if it's the lighting or what but I don't really see the sign of fading because my spots are covered well but it's weird when it's hot and I'm outside I can see my spots even though it's not as bad as when I don't put any makeup. Yeah,my skin is weird. But when I cleanse it with my makeup remover in the end of the day (if I've been outdoor / outside for almost a day) the color of the foundation is not much, 1 (in my case 1/2,since I always tear half mine) cotton pad is enough to cleanse the foundation :/ it's just weird.
But anywho since I'm using this foundation,my friends often ask me what product I've been using and bought it from me.even my mom wants to buy this too! A good promotion for my online shop too I guess? :v

So here's my overall thought
PROS:
1.coverage is awesome even it's in glow type
2.no break out
3.hygienic with seperator lid
4.awesome air puff
5.mirror included (even though I never use it)
6.compact type,fit you makeup bag,palm size
7.refill available
8.great longevity (but for other reviews I've read the longevity is so so 3-5hrs)

CONS:
1.cleaning the puff is a pain,seriously
2.pricey

How To Use:
1.take the puff and dip (idk how to say it) the blue part
2.pat pat around your face until it's blended
3.lather / spread if you applied to much on some spot

Ratings:


5 out of 5 !


Will I repurchase?
Yeah!the refill one! Even though I'm going to try new foundie or stuffs but still this is a must!it's just sooo good!

So have you tried this?what is your favorite foundation?

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Enriched Cream - First Impression Review

Ola! Happy Monday all and wow I've been absent for a long time @_@ Yeap,busy weeks.
So to make that up,actually I want to post my saviour cream or my HG foundation but ended up poating thia since the photo is incomplete .-.
So,like the title,you know what're we going to review. And why it's first impression?because it's my mom's and I only tried it once (with her permission of course)
This was a longgggg time ago when my skin is in the fatal condition (okay,too dramatic) because my trial using Etude House AC Clinic Trial Kit (reviews here and here)
So let's see how it looks like
 1.So here how it looks like,there's a free mini sized of the essence. Credits to yesstyle (I don't have the picture)










2.Credits to rini shop on ebay













So,I never use the essence,only the cream,ONCE. Why? Actually this cream has a strong scent,especially the essence. Even though I'm not allergy with that but I just want to avoid strong fragranced products to prevent more chemical. I don't need to sniff on it , just sitting few metres from my mom when applying thia,I still can smell it clearly. Oh wow.
So as long as I remembered the texture is white,quite thick,but easy to spread,but doesn't absorb really fast. When I woke up I found my skin is quite moisturized but it doesn't last long sadly,it disappeared as soon after I washed my face :O

Just fyi this product is a bestseller cream in Etude House

So,that's it,yeah I know it's short but I only used it once,okay?

PROS:
Actually I'm not impressed on anything. Thick white cream,easy to lather,like...almost all the cream works that way

CONS:
1.Strong scent,heavily fragranced
2.Took a little time to absorb
3.Moisture disappeared as soon after wash

RATINGS:


1 out of 5 stars

Will I Purchase This?
No. I think this cream works decently and suits more for normal skin. If you're having dry or extremely dry skin,this is not enough. I don't wanna be mean with the star I gave but that's the truth even though this is a hit and big raves but for me it's just a "so so" product,nothing special

So,what do you think? Have you tried this?what is your favorite cream?

Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner #01 Jet Black Review

Hey guys!
Happy Monday and it's May!
Yeah I know I haven't post anything for a long time, due to my busy days (doing some kind of homework),black out (yes,hail to Medan),and so on.
So,to start it off,how about another eyeliner review?
This is my 2nd attempt to find the best which is waterproof and smudgeproof eyeliner,and not to mention in pen type with bold colors :v
I've been googling for reviews and I know that Japan's is the best for eye makeup and the price really , not that friendly for my pocket,..but if I find my true love,why not spend a little more?
So , you might know my 1st eyeliner doesn't go well,so I decided to buy this on my mini haul and let's see the baby!
 1. So this is the emptied box and yes,bad lighting,and please ignore the bg =W=
I just love the eye picture on the bottom,the eyeliner looks promisingly smooth!
2.the back. Okay,I opened the box in hurried back then,thus,...making the box ruined :v descriptions , ingredients,bla3x
 3. It's in purple with gold logos and writings. Just can't get a good lighting!! Sorry
 4. It's sealed with this code bar stampy thing and I never remove it lol I just simply bend it and pull it. First try,hard,but after that,no prob
 5. The brush is really thin!!! Super thin <3 but it's more fragile than holika-holika of course
6. Without flash,trying to get near the window . See the line is very thin and black?


7. With flash













Okay,seriously idk how the f the pigment is bolg on my hand but not on my lids! Seriously it's depressing to keep layering to get that black ! The holika-holika is wayyyy much better for the pigment rather than this !
Okay,and now it claims to be water and smudgeproof. Let's check it out

Smudgeproof test
 1. I tried to smudge it on the bottom side and it smudge but a littleeeeeeee and it's quite hard when I rubbed it. Smudgeproof?yes.
2. With flash













Waterproof test
1. Tested on running water. Still there.
Waterproof?yes.
2.with flash














Smudge+waterproof test
1. Rub it one time and not that hard but it's gone! Wow!so lame!imagine you're crying and rub your eyes from sobbing. Well at least it doesn't leave much panda eyes from the eyeliner spreading everywhere,since it's totally gone but if your eyes are watery enough

Failed




So,tbh,I'm rarely use eyeliner! And for which I can remember I did practice with this,but not often. And now the last time I tried it (practice) it has dried out. Wtf. It's sooo expensive,and now it has emptied?! I locked it really tight you know. Gosh my heart feels like someone just stabbed me!
And what annoys me when I'm practicing,it stings my eyes! Idk what kind of chemical they use,but I never experience it with my holika-holika. That makes me really hard to draw the eyeliner near the lash lines or whatever you call it.
But I can't say how long it last when you're hanging out  wearing this since I only went out 1 time with this eyeliner and on a wedding party at night,so it doesn't that long. And I think I can't really test it now since it's emptied
Tbh I'm really disappointed. And when my eyeliner has dried on my lids when I tried to rub it,it flakes!bleeds! Oh gosh! =_=

So just let's be short,here's my conclusion

PROS:
1.thin brush
2.dries quick
3.smudgeproof
4.waterproof

CONS:
1.pricey
2.not smudge+waterproof
3.it stings my eyes
4.after dried,rub it,it flakes,bleeds!on my lids
5.idk why but mine emptied really fast.feels so cheated
6.not that pigmented,sheer black.
7.cannot precisely draw a perfect wink,since the colors bleeds a little.

I know I'm being mean since it has some pros,but the fact that the price is so not worth it just makes me cut every stars I have.

Will I Repurchase?

I just don't get it,a lot of people like this product evem it's not HG but still it's a good stuff,but it's just not for me :/

So,what do you think?any good eyeliner to recommend me?

Naturgo Mud Mask Review - a cheap product to remove your black and whiteheads

hey guys.happy Monday :3
So before I start can I just write about my s*itty Sunday?


So earlier (Sunday morning) I woke up and preparing to perform on JCC (Japanese Contemporary Culture) at Gelanggang Remaja, Medan . I'm performing with my mates for Yosakoi Dance.
So the sensei who invited us to perform told us that we will perform on 12PM and need to arrive around 11.30
So my leader (chief(?)) of yosakoi team told us that we need to arrive at 11PM and set the time 9AM (note that Indonesian people often late from the time set (gomu jikan) and if he called us to gather on 11PM we're absolutely gather on 1PM lol /slap). So I know that we'll makeup-ing each other on that time and I thought I'll just do the makeup at home,and called the taxi around 11.30. So after I called the taxi,I saw messages and my friend's bbm status said "Nanchu live performance now @JCC" . I was shocked!it has started?I tried to call and there's no one picking up the phone.and then I called one of my friend that participate on the cabaret cosplay there and she told me that it has over. I was like "wtf?!" . They said that sensei suddenly moved the schedule earlier and they're also shocked since they're not finish makeup-ing each other. And when I received that I hurried called the taxi to cancel but it was too late!! The taxi has arrived and I must pay Rp10.000 for canceling :(
Wasted my money,and I feel bad for them since I'm the centre (back) in the formation . And of course they're blaming me,not the sensei since I'm the one who late. But hello? Isn't it just the same?you're makeup-ing there and I'm at home and who expect there's sudden changement of schedule?! Tbh on Saturday for rehearsal on the stage I came at 3PM and they're late for 2hours!! It's just my bad luck I guess. Bit seriously I don'tknow how to face them later @_@
So then I thought I already wearing my makeup and set. Nothing to do there,the only reason I must go there has passed. And I thought okay,I'll just go watch a movie and text my friend. So after he (note he's my junior,ex student,friend,nothing more) said okay and bought the ticket suddenly it starts to rain. Heavily. Storm . #letthestormrageon
And I called for taxi and waited but the taxi hasn't come and later they told me that there's no taxi available at the moment and I must wait for 1hour more. I was like "wtf?!" . So,later,I canceled , and he also canceled. He said it's no fun watching a movie alone. I feel bad you know. And I must pay for the ticket!!!!wasted my money and give me more pressure(?)
When I was like ok fine,it's just not my day to go out,suddenly the rain stops -______- *facepalm*

Not my day. Really.

Okay then so now sorry for the longggggg story.let's get back to the main topic!
So if you're looking for a cheap white and blackheads remover you can try a mud mask,and here I'll review Naturgo's

 1. The front
 2. The back . All in japanese. I still can't read it since mostly in Kanji
 3. Black colour.once applied spread it quickly. Easy to remove from your hand with water











Okay,so here's the result after using it (sorry I don't have before after pic,but you can see how it works by seeing the dirt) . I often applied it on my nose

WARNING!it's really disgusting so if you're eating just quickly chew and swallow it lol
Disgusting pics spam!




















Okau,yukk! Can you see that yellowish thing that looks like popping worms?! Yes!that's the dirt.
Of course you won't see much or the appearance is not disgusting when you see it normally but boom!
Take a pic with max zoom and this is what you see!


As you can see it pull out a lot and it works really good for cheap product. And I'm quite satisfied with it. You can apply it on your whole face or some part. 1 pack is enough for many times usage.seriously
It has some light scent of fresh water (?)
Every times I use it on my nose I always confused how to peel it and end up making weird nose lol
It hurts a bit when you peel it especially if you have dry patchy skin. At first I thought it's easy to wash and just wash it,problems solved. But my friend said if you wash it,doesn't it just the same you won't clean anything?since the heads are removed by pulling it out.
She got a point.

Okay so here's the steps how to use it:
1.clean face,if you can when you wash your face use warm water so the pores open up
2.you can applied some toner before applying the mask
3.apply the mud mask
4.wait until it dry for 15-20minutes then peel it
5.wash your face with cold water to close the pores
6.apply some pore lotion/cream then continue with next steps of your skincare routine

You can buy it from me :3
Note that there's a fake for this product OAO

So what do I think about this products???

PROS
1.Cheap!
2.Works really well

CONS
none

RATINGS


5 of 5!

Would I repurchase?
Absolutely yes!

So have you tried this product?or do you have favorite black and whiteheads remover?
