Beauty Treats Indonesia December Box - Late Review

Hey guys!Sorry for the late review. I'm kinda busy with stuffs etc for a moment x_x
So today I want to share about my FIRST Beauty Box that's booming until now.
What is that? You can say it Gift Box,Beauty Box,Pink Box,etc anything! But the point it contains lots of skincare,makeup,etc stuffs. And mostly it's random. So you just sign up, fill in your beauty profile, subscribe the box,pay for it,and they'll process and pick stuffs that you don't know what it will be (just hoping for good things) but all of them are suit to your beauty profile (mostly). But some of the services that provide this kind of box now offer customize box (rather than they disappoint you that your taste doesn't match with what they've picked for you,it's better you choose on your own).
So, I ever heard (more like reading) on blogs about Pink Box etc. But I don't know where they got those stuffs. What I thought that time all of them were sponsored to famous blogger (Yes,it's true, but you can feel that feeling too ,receiving a 'mystery' box even you're not a famous blogger but yeah,you need to pay it off . It was not a sponsored box LOL ) . So when I'm searching for products review on Google,I came across this website on the top list so I tried to open it and yeah,I'm sold! I want to purchase 12months subscription because they offers you free birthday box on your birthday month.I don't celebrate birthday,but who can resist free items?
But when I asked my mom (persuade my mom to buy it for me since it's too expensive for me to spend that much in one time lol) she said that I should try 1month first to see if it satisfied me or not. So , yeah then I subscribed 1month only,December box.
So I've been waiting for 2months! And when I knew the box has come,I'm so excited to open it!

So let's go on with the pictures ~
 1. The cardbox. There's still another box inside
Sorry I forgot to rotate the picture x_x
2. Inside.
A white ribbon wrapping a blue box with a brochure and a crabtree & evelyne catalogue
3. Inside the blue box. thin paper with loose tied orange ribbon








4. All the items. As you can see, it's quite empty











 5. The brochure with some products' details inside
 6.Crabtree & Evelyn Catalogue
















 7. Sorry for the bad rotation X_X
This is Lavie fake eyelashes.
First of all I never wear fake eyelashes , so this thing is a NO for me.
But I think I might keep this if there's an event. And I'm planning I'm going to use it on Bunkasai when I'm working on my Maid Cafe section
 8. Enrico Coveri stick perfume for Him and for Her.
these are duo for couple. At first when I saw these I was like poker face . I don't have a boyfriend -_-
So I gave it to my boy-friend :v
I took each items pictures a few days after I gave it so there's no picture of "for Him".
I don't like perfume and I'm too lazy. My mom usually spritz some to me when there's a party or sth. Too lazy for spritz type perfume...and wayyyy moreee lazy for the stick one! I'm throwing it away for my giveaway :v
 9. Secret Key Snow White Cream & CC cream sachets.
I know that this brand is quite expensive , but I just not impressed when I received these.Why? I'm not fond of sachets. I like it more sth with tube type sample :v
It's quite annoying to keep it because when you already tear it off you can't close it back when it's not finish yet -_-
 10. Secret Key Dragon Blood Essence
So this thing on full size is expensive!
And I heard good reviews about it
But I'm quite scared when I saw the color. It's like there's a lot of artificial coloring in it .
Maybe I'll try it one day. I'm just too lazy right now SLAP
 11. So yeah,the jar is bad.It can't close properly so there's some spill. Luckily mine only spill a little . I saw other bloggers' post it spills the box . Yep. I'm lucky
12. Makarizo Honey Dew (forgot the exact name)
But what disappoints me is it is written that it's not for sale! I felt so cheated even though there's a price on the catalogue.
I'm too lazy to use sth like this too.
It will cost me longer time on my bathroom and my mom is going to yell at me when it happens -_-







So that's all.Pretty sad ,huh? disappointing!
I'm quite confused to resubscribe it again.
Even though it's disappointing but I already ordered the next subscription for 1year but I think again and I don't pay for it,so automatically it's cancelled.
So I guess I'm going to try another shot for other boxes like Vanity Trove and Lola Box and I have made the payment and still waiting it to come. :v

So,what do you think ? Any comments?Or any favorite box?

ETUDE HOUSE DEAR GIRLS BB CREAM + AC CLINIC SUN BB CREAM REVIEW

Hey Guys!
Today I'm going to do a 'DUO' Review about Etude House's BB Creams.
As I promised before I'll make a review about Etude House AC Clinic Sun BB Cream but a comparison review. So here we go

 1. (LEFT) Etude House AC Clinic Sun BB Cream SPF30/PA++ (trial)
     (RIGHT) Etude House Dear Girls BB Cream SPF30/PA++
 2.Here's the cute packaging of Dear Girls one ~
It comes in light pink with girly patterns.
BUT I don't buy it because the girlish cutey pinky packaging. I'm not sold with this packaging LOL high standard /slap
Since the AC Clinic one is in trial version,so it doesn't have specific packaging,it comes in a pouch
 3. Descriptions,Directions,Caution LOL
 4.The Ingredients List. You can click the image to zoom
5. Only last for 12months after the first usage (after opening)

















So,the Dear Girls BB Cream claimed it has 5 FREE Ingredients:
1.Paraben
2.Talc
3.Mineral Oil
4.Artificial Fragrance
5.Animal Ingredients

So,it's quite safe for sensitive skin,and for teens who are afraid of their skin to be sensitive with makeup ,this is a good start (like me LOL)

It comes with a pump,quite hygienic and more control of the amount we want

And for AC Clinic Sun BB Cream it claims to be SAFE for acne prone skin and doesn't clog pores,since it's launch in acne treatment series

Both have SPF30/PA++. Quite good .But if you need more protection you can use Sun Block with higher SPF before applying BB Cream.
And both comes in ONE SHADE and I'm quite fine since I have quite a fair skin. But to mention you need to wait a little to makes the BB Cream's color looks more natural/match if you have quite fair skin (light beige to natural beige),if you have pale skin,it will suits you as soon as you applied the BB cream :v

SWATCHES
 1.Flash
 2.Without flash

Pic no1 & 2 = failed.
I used holika holika wonder drawing eyeliner pen to write 'Etude' and waited for few minutes and when I tried to blend it,it's still not dry and everything turned almost black -___-
waste my eyeliner and bb creams!


 3.With flash
 4.Without flash
Pic no3 & 4
I used my mom's cheap eyeliner and waited a little bit longer. I drew a cross
 5.Without flash
 6.With flash
Pic no 5 & 6
Dear Girls BB Cream on top
AC Clinic Sun BB Cream on bottom
7.Blended

















As you can see both gives the same coverage. Since it comes in one shade. And how well it suits your skin depends on your skin tone,the amount of the cream,blending techinque
So of course since AC Clinic one is my first BB Cream and I'm not quite good on applying and prepping my skin before applying it that time,the BB Cream doesn't suit me well. Not really even,and really shows my cracking dry face that time because using the series (I don't know how to trick on the prepping skin for less 'cracking' look that time)
In the photo you can see it's a little bit greyish,but actually it's quite warm tone after blended (sorry for the lighting)

When I use AC one for a long time it doesn't break me out or irritate acnes since it's made for acne prone skin. But when I use Dear Girls one for a long time in a full lighting room (like plaza) mostly there'll be 1 2 zits and 1 2pimples show up after I got home.But depends on your skin type too.Everyone has different skin. Mine is really weird -_-
Both have average oil control I guess since my face starts to get oilier soon (slower 30mins-1hour than normal) and I don't blot unless if I got home,and need to go out again and too lazy to cleanse and reapply the bb cream /slap

So,...yeah,I'm out of words now -_- So many things on my mind now

So,here's the conclusion about Dear Girls BB Cream
PROS:
1. 5 Free Formula
2. Good for teens with sensitive skin
3. Quite cheap

CONS:
1. Come in one shade (not a biggie for me)
2. Average oil control

RATINGS:


4 out of 5 stars

Will I Repurchase?
I still don't know. I want to try other BB creams (there're tons of it!) ,but I'm quite afraid too (will irritate my skin,break out,or the shade doesn't suit me (since I never choose any typical shade because until now my bb creams come in 1 shade))

Which one I prefer most?
Dear Girls BB Cream


So have you tried this bb cream?What is your favorite BB cream?Any comments?Suggestions?

SKIN FOOD FRESH APPLE SPARKLING PORE EMULTION REVIEW

Hey guys! As I promised I'll post a lot of reviews after I bought a memory card reader. So it's a countdown 1 hour to go to welcome new year 2014


So now I'll review SKIN FOOD FRESH APPLE SPARKLING PORE LOTION
so, to inform you that I've a lot of blackheads and a mask,pack,etc can't remove my stubborn blackheads. So the only way is to press it -_- and it leaves big red bumps until the next few days and those horribly big pores. So I come across to this product when I ran out of my gel lotion (Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion Trial version) . I want to re-purchase it but I thought I need to try something new.
So,here's the swatches

1.The front. It made of glass I think,and it's quite bulky with silver cap. My mom tried to use it and one day she accidentally move and the bottle fell off very hard! I've bad feeling if that sound is from this bottle (I'm in different room) and later when I checked , it's this bottle that fell but luckily it didn't crack! WOW
But the cap is cracked and there's a pressed side


 2
 3. The top of the cap. So cute ~

 4. It has a small hole to prevent "over pour" ~
 5&6. The texture. A little bit sticky

 7.With flash
 8.Without flash
9.Fully absorbed. You can see it's a little bit shimmery on flash on the right side

















So,since it's in emultion type,it's has quite 'thick' consistency unlike water, quite sticky too.
It contains alcohol (most of acne /pore treatment products contain alcohol in big amount), so I don't apply it on my whole face,only on my forehead,nose,and any place with big pores.
Even my forehead is not that sensitive,when I applied it my skin turns red especially if I put too much. But it will fade soon.
But it works miracle! My pore is less bigger,and less bumps and redness within overnight!
So I don't need to worry about big pores/bumps/redness after pulling out my blackheads LOL

CONCLUSION
PROS:
1.Strong packaging's materials!
2.Reduce big pores/bumps/redness overnight!

CONS:
1.Contains alcohol
2.Hard to pour the liquid
3.Quite sticky
4.Bulky packaging

RATINGS


3 out of 5stars

WILL I REPURCHASE ?
I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I'll look for something new

So , have you tried this before?Any comment?suggestions?
