LOLA BOX JANUARY

Ola~
Happy Sat-night!


So,now I'm gonna post about my FIRST LOLA BOX!
I've heard a lot of good reviews about how satisfying their boxes! And I'm sold and subscribe it for 6months!
Unfortunately what makes me a little bit disappointed is their system where you need to wait for your waiting number and you must pay for the box immediately when your line is up or you lost your chance and need to wait again . (I'm not everyday one way to the ATM you know -3- ))
And what disappointed me next is when I finally got the line and I when I saw my order history,I haven't subscribe any box! That's just crazy! And when I tried to re-subscribe it the option for 6months subscription is gone!!!


I mailed them and they said if they've disabled for 6months subscription,and the options left are 1month and 3months subscription. SUCK!

Anywhooo after waiting and waiting and waiting... (PHEW!) the box has arrived almost a week ago and I'm quite lazy to online and it's exam week.
Curiously tried to open and I heard from the shaken box , my guessing: IT'S TOOOO LIGHTWEIGHT! MUST BE FEW ITEMS ONLY
Not feeling so excited to open the box anymore !

 1. The outer box
 2.The box. Looks something like doughnut box LOL. Soon after I realized they put sweet fragrance on the box
 






3.Let's open the box! Found a card,an envelope,and pink ribbon wrapping the paper wrap!











4. The warm greetings (I don't read it though LOL /slap)











5. Inside the envelope. Curiously open what's inside and found out it contains brochures -_-
2 brochures of IASO BB Cream and Cleanser. So my guess is these items are inside my box.
The envelope has sweet fragrance too!




6.Inside the box.
Only few items! *cries* But hopefully each items worth it!










7.You can see there're only 6 items. And my guessing is 50% wrong about the brochures I got before. I will only get 1 of 2 options on the brochures.

8. Tarang! first item is IASO Triple Protection BB Cream! Thank goodness it's not a cleanser coz I got cleansers on my home more than enough! (Gimme a break! LOL)
It's a korean product. Never heard about this brand , and really curious to try it ! And I love it comes in sample size , not sachets!!!
Hopefully it doesn't contain ingredients that I'm aware of since it's in sample size,there's no descriptions of the ingredients,and all the main descriptions about the product is in Hangul D;
Will try it soon!

9.Laneige Be Waterful. The packing comes like a wallet , there's a slip on the side to 'lock' it . I'm excited to receive this since I heard lots of good reviews about this brand and I heard this water series is one of their best selling products!








10. I open the 'wallet' and my guessing is right it comes in sachets. Good thing is it comes in 2 different products of the same line,so I can try more different things.
Water Bank Gel Cream and Sleeping Pack. Actually I hope the bigger sachet is the cream one since it's pricier in full size LOL






11. The descriptions on the back . Thank God it's in English!!
Unfortunately there's no ingredients list on it :(
Hopefully it doesn't contain ingredients that I'm aware of since most of high end products contain those harmful stuffs! Wonder why the less cheaper and affordable products are safer than high end products :/





12. Bioderma Sensibio H2O. What a coincidence! I picked this on my Vanity Trove Box so I'll get double of this when I receive my Vanity Trove Box . If I know I'll get this on my LOLA Box , I wouldn't choose this on my Vanity Trove Box since I have one item that I want but the slots were full.
But just the next day after I received my Lola Box, I got a reply on my mail since my box hasn't come even though I have paid for a long time. They told me because the flood in Jakarta, the delivery systems are on delay. I can accept that. But what makes me upset was the information that all of my products that I chose (only one left) were sold out! And they're changing it with perfumes stuffs. You know how I hate perfumes!!! I'm so upset, and replied them (in good words) I asked them if whether I can change my order by myself but there's no reply until now! Freaking annoying! They always reply the latest 2days after the mailing time but it has been a week and more!! What a lame service! Don't take the flood as an excuse for not working/servicing customers! You can mail through your phone! ARGH!!!!



13. Okay,so back to the topic, Here's the back of the product and lucky! Ingredients list! And it's really safe! Actually I need a makeup remover too and searching for a good one for my sensitive skin. The turn down for this sample is it's hard to lock it up for another use after opening it
14. Next is local product. A body lotion from Wangsa Jelita. I'm not a fond of body lotion. I'm too lazy to use it. I got my Face Shop Whitening Lotion and only use it a couple times then I got lazy. :v









15. It's said paraben free! Thank God! But hopefully there's no mercury on it *pray"
There're their contact info, I guess they're quite new brand and still small so they're promoting their brand until giving them phone number,bb pin,etc.








16. Descriptions of the product. Sorry some got closed by the card. Tried to move it aside but that's the max side










17. Quite cute card.
Actually I'm not sure if I want to use it/not. If I don't I think I'm throwing it away for my giveaway














18. Cottage body wash.
A body wash from European brand I guess? The smell is quite good when I tried to sniff it. But I'm quite lazy too to use this kind of stuffs

19. Ingredients list etc
20. Last but not least, La Perla perfume. URGH! Such a waste if I don't use it. I talked to my mom that if she wants to try it just take it. LOL













21. Dual languages descriptions















So, what do you think? Sorry for the pictures spam!
My list that I like : Bioderma,IASO,and Laneige
My list that I dislike/so-so: Wangsa Jelita,Cottage,La Perla

So 50-50 huh?
Well, I'll post the reviews after I try them and waiting for the next box since I chose 3months subscriptions.
I think it worth the money. Hopefully the next box is better!
So,what do you think?

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

 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!

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?
