DIY Removing Whiteheads/Blackheads in Last Minutes

Hey guys!
so it's been quite a long time I don't post a new post since I'm really busy this past few weeks practicing for closing event and handling the event's maid cafe .
so now I'm not going to post a review but a simple DIY I guess? Sorry for this post I don't insert any picture.
well this is a tip for you that got white/blackheads that pop/sprouting on the surface when you're in hurry and don't have time to use/wear nose strip/mud mask.
to press it until it completely pops will only makes your nose red.
This is a quick easy steps with only 3 things that you already have!
1.Toner
2.Cotton pad
3.Index fingers

So here's the steps:
1.pour some toner onto the cotton pad
2.Gently pat/spread on your nose
3.Point the cotton pad with your index finger (like when you're going to press zits with tissue)
4.Scratch gently the area where the white/blackheads are sprouting/popping half on the surface
5.Do it until it's completely removed
6.For stubborn blackheads,it will popping 3/4 where you can pick it easily,or gently press it. This scratching with toner is not effective to remove the blackheads,but it helps pulling out the blackheads to the state it can be pull by fingers or press it. Here I press with my bare index fingers and my nose is less red (you knownhow easily my face gets red!)
7.After all is clean,swap some fresh toner that you've poured to a new cotton pad on your nose
8.Then use a product that contains alcohol/with pore shrinking properties skincare (not a face primer) .

Here I use :
The Face Shop Clean Face Blemish Zero Clarifying Toner
Skin Food Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Emultion

So here's my tip for last minute clean nose. So do you have a tip to remove white/blackheads?

Lola Box March

Hey guys
Today i want to post my last box from Lola Box,so basically I only subscribed it for 3months,since they've removed the 6months deal. Received this on 20th .
So the fastest box is my 2nd box , then this one,my 3rd box,and the last is my 1st box
Actually tbh I'm not excited with my 3rd box,since the last time I received it is full of crappy useless thing,but atbleast I had to open it in the end,right?
So here we goes
1. Still wrapped with transparent plastic from JNE













3. So,the printed Lola logo is on the top left,quite different from my 1st and 2nd which were printed on the middle like a doughnut box. And the packaging with the outter cartoon box still annoys me since I must flip it upside down so the box inside can come out . Noticed that this box is not scented just like the 2nd box

4. Light purple with white pearl hint box with orange text,printed
 5. Wrapped and tied with orange ribbon with 2 brochures
 6.so on the left is discount brochure,15% off for Crazy Rumor only at Luxola.well,I don't need it,if you want it just mail me or leave a comment,but you'll pay for the shipping of course,and on the right is wome greetings that I don't read,and the items' list on the back that I don't read either,so it doesn't ruin the surprise
 7.The back of the discount brochure,some descriptions about the brand. Well I guess that one of the picture that printed on the brochure is in my box
 8. So I open it and the condition is messed up because I flipped it earlier.but guess what? I am excited! My feeling told me that this is a good box when I saw Hada Labo on top
 9. So I arranged it properly so I can take a better shot









So let me list it from the most favorite and the least favorite
 1. Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream SPF25
So,even though I saw this already from the messed up,but my eyes attracted to Hada Labo first,because the last time I received a BB Cream and the rest is not that usefull. But I put it on top list since I'm quite curious with this BB cream,so looking forward to use this even though I'm still hesitate to use BB cream (currently falling in love with my new foundation,which I'll review for you soon)
 2.So,I know this is a drugstore product,but I never buy it,but this might be good,and this what makes me excited even though I don't list it on top. One of the reasons is that it's just basic skincare trial so,yeah,I'm still gonna use it but later I guess. I'm still not in the mood testing new stuffs right now since I'm going to be busy and I don't want to get skin issues if it doesn't suit my skin
 3. Shot fired! Got it right,I got one Crazy Rumor in Gingerbread. Well I'm really excited and curious with a lip balm in ginger flavor.Too bad I got this when I just bought a lip balm (that's why I put it in 3rd list). Definitely gonna try this very soon!
 4.Fake lashes! 5pairs! Well I don't like fake lashes but I'm sure I'll need it for my cosplay (planning to make a debut as a cosplayer) and these lashes are natural not like the one I received from Beauty Treats December that quite fancy for natural looks.but the only thumbs down here is no glue included!I don't have glue for lashes so how I'm supposed to wear it?! And I need to wear it less than a week!
 5. Sachets
a. Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream
b. Skin79 Super Plus Triple Function BB Cream
c. Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream
d. 2sachets of L'oreal Extraordinary Oil for dry hair
 6. And a brochure of Skin79 BB cream list


 9. So,this is the list that I mentioned before
So,that's all. Tbh it's quite difficult to list the order that I like the most since I like it all! Except the sachets.big no no no!
I'm still feeling I just waste my money since I onky received 1 full sized item that's a lip balm,1 trial kit from Hada Labo,and 1 travel sized BB cream. And the rest is....crap! 
And big turn down is this box is all about BB cream . This box deserves "BB Cream Edition" as a theme. Boo!
But it still better than the 2nd box
By the way,I just opened the site and they have removed the 3months deal,and the only leftbis per month subscribtions. And they provide survey and earn lola dots,but I don't take the survey since I haven't use their products from the box from the start,and now the survey chance has gone. I think there's a time limit for it.so be sure to try it as soon after you tried it. You can lie of course,to write a review without never using it before,but that's just awful,and I won't do that

Anywhoo if you want to subscribe,click here , they're having a promotional price right now

Will I re-subscribe?
Maybe,later,not now. I'm still in money crisis after hauls and costume etc. Besides,I don't want stuffs piling up on my closet,so I'll take time to try it out one by one .

I think it's still a decent box,not to mention most bloggers said this is the best Indonesian beauty box that rarely give a bad box,and it's way more affordable than Vanity

So what do you think?did you ever subsribed from Lola? Or have you received your March box?what do you think?

Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Pen Review - Edited Twice

Sooo...hey guys! This is my first eyeliner and holika holika post
First of all I'm sorry I don't have swatches on my eyes. Can't get the right position,ugly eyes,bad lighting,don't know how to pose lol /slap
So I'm not good at applying-eye-makeup-thingy so looking for a liquid,brush pen type thingy. And looking for Korean products,it's quite hard to find the packaging like what I want,and quite pricey. So when I saw this I immediately grab this without thinking twice like my customer did (my customer bought this too) and my customer loves it! She said it's easy to apply. So what about me?
Well first,I want to introduce the background first. It's Holika Holika Wonder Drawing Eyeliner Pen. Claims to be water and smudgeproof. And looking at the name "Wonder" , I guess it accentuates the Wonder-ful result of this eyeliner. So does it lives up the claims?
Let's check it out!
1. The simple bold black packing with yellow-gold text and witch logo
2. The brush. The look looks like felt type but trust me,it's not! It's very soft and easy to follow curves not like felt type /what
3. The black pigment is so-so not so bold black,but buildable. You can make thin or thick lines easily (not for me,since I have folded lids on 1 side,and I never use eye makeup before)
4. Waterproof check! I put my hand on running tap, no rubbing,and it starts to fade. Can you see the thin lines have gone?
5. Smudgeproof check! So I rub it,not really hard while my hand's still wet,and it fades! And I ever wore this on my hang out day once,and it smudge on my quite oily lids and when I blink,there's a copy line on my upper lids -______-
6. Testing how it can be easily cleanse/not with my 2 makeup remover
Left : The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Right : Bifesta Cleansing Lotion in Moist
7.One swipe only
Can you see which one cleanses well?











So,I don't know is something wrong with this eyeliner or the remover,since I tried Bifesta and still leaves black shadow cast,and I don't experience it when I tried my mom's cheap eyeliner. And I can't give exact info it comes from the eyeliner/remover since I don't have a lot of this kind of product so can't compare it.
This thing bothers me very much,since I'm not a pro on applying eyeliner,and keep to erase and fix it again,and it leaves this kind of cast,and final result like someone had hit me on the eyes. Rub it hard but the cast is hardly to disappear. Damn -_-

So,let's move on to the conclusions

PROS:
1. Thin brush
2. Adjustable,buildable for thin and thick lines
3. Easy to use with the pen type packaging

CONS:
1. Not really bold black
2. Not waterproof
3. Not smudgeproof
4. Leaves black shadow cast when removing it,like a tattoo. it might be a good thing so it doesn't look completely gone since it's not waterproof when you're still outside,but it's troublesome when you're about to clean it up,and it kinda creep me out
5. Doesn't dry really fast
6. Not really easy to smudge it well (for makeup style,not smudging because it's not long lasting)
7. Price is quite fair,but it doesn't worth with the quality,such a waste

WHO MIGHT LIKE IT:
1. A beginner in eyeliner thing,since it's quite easy to apply

RATINGS:


2 out of 5 stars

WILL I REPURCHASE?
No. there's wayyy more better product than this with fair price. Just bought one from Kiss Me on my last mini haul , but haven't use it,since I'm too lazy. I have been absent from practicing to apply eyeliner,since I have folded lids on one side that keeps making my eyes look ugly overall,and bought eyelid glue and tape,start to practice using the glue but it's hard like hell and it hurts (for me). Hopefully can master it soon,and then continue to eye makeup practice

So,ever used this?What is your favorite eyeliner?

The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover Review

Hey Hey! Today I'm going to post 2 posts!


I'm starting to be a good blogger , right?
/slap

Ok,to be true is,I want to post this review for some other time,and want to publish the eyeliner firs,but since it's envolving this remover,and the rare chance I'm going to be online in this crazy months of blackout,so I'm going to post everything earlier :v

So this is not purchased with my own money,nor this is mine. It's my mom's.
She bought it from The Body Shop Counter and have tried this too. At first I don't know how to give the opinion since I don't have other than this brand of a (point) makeup remover,but since I've use (all in one) makeup remover,so I can give some opinions.
Sorry if the pictures are not many
 1. The front with dual languages,the logo,and the volume.
It comes in bulky plastic packaging but not that heavy. Comes in a flip cap
2. There's ingredients list behind the sticker,but since it's not mine, I don't dare to touch (remove) it











It claims to be gentle,natural ingredients (my mom said so,if this brand is all natural) but I spotted paraben on the ingredients list. I don't mind though since most eye makeup contains paraben. But it's better that it's not on the list ,right?
The texture is watery like water,the scent is quite neutral,and when I rub my eyes it has some weird texture feeling filmsy thingy I don't know how to describe it. Not really pleasant feeling but still bareable
When I use this when I'm fixing my eyeliner,it leaves dark shadows,and I must rub it again and again. And notice my mom when fixing her cheap eyeliner,she uses a lot of product (swipe few times for one line)
But my mom has been using eyeliner for a long long time and I never see her buying another tube of it , hence I guess we don't need much for eye makeup even though we swipe it a lot.
My mom keeps saying that it can be use as facial makeup remover but hello,..it's clearly states that it only can be use for eyes only..

So I think it's better to use all in one cleanser ,you don't need to buy seperate remover anymore. But if your facial makeup remover is mild,needs more swipes for waterproof and heavy makeup,you can buy your favorite point makeup remover. Heard that Skin Food Milkshake Point Makeup Remover is popular,positive reviews,HG product,bought that one,but I don't have any intention to use it,so I'm planning to seel it.If you're located in Indonesia and want to buy ready stock of it,you can just mail me.

So,..well yeah,..I'm writing this post quickly and with half blank mind,so please mind of my weird writings,and this is quite a short post.
So let's just move to the conclusions

PROS:
1.Water based

CONS:
1.Poor cleansing (need a lot of product)
2.Not that gentle natural ingredients
3.Greasy filmsy feeling ,not really comfortable

Note: do mind I can't say anything about the price since I didn't buy this product

RATINGS:


1 out of 5 stars

tbh I don't know what is the PROS for this product,and just randomly put that water based thing -___-

WILL I PURCHASE?
Definitely NO!

So have you ever tried this?Any good product that you like?

Bifesta , a water based makeup remover in Moist Review

Hey guys happy Satnite!
I know I know,haven't post for a moment now. You know Medan is having crazy blackout these past few weeks!


So,actually I want to post about my massive haul, but there's 2items more that still haven't arrive yet. It has been a week!
So,the haul can wait huh?And it'll be boring to post hauls only!
Okay,now I'm going to review a mkeup remover , Bifesta! You might have seen this on my recent post about my mini haul . So I've been using it for almost a month and daily ,so I can tell how this product works for me

 1. The front. It's a Japanese product from the writing lol
A water based makeup, with harmless ingredients (even though it's not as natural in ingredients as Bioderma Sensibio H2O
but still it's alcohol,preservative,100 % oil,fragrant,colorant free!
How awesome!
Here I picked moist for my extremely dry cheeks!
And as you can see the color is slightly not really transparent lol
the packaging is plastic,and comes with a pump!

































2. The back , with descriptions,ingredients,how to use,etc etc (click to zoom)
3. I only use 1cotton pad for this! (1pad torn into 2pieces :v ) On my face and neck!
But sometimes it can be 2pads (4pcs) I don't know why it can go like that , I only use bb cream!
Sorry for the black dot there,I was practicing to apply eyeliner and the cotton bud I accidentally put it on the cotton pad /slap







So,this makeup remover is everywhere (KL) since it's  a drugstore common product there. I can't say it's dirt cheap nor it's expensive. the price is fair enough . Most of bloggers said this product's emptied for only 2months or so,but I don't know,it depends on how much makeup you cleanse,and is it waterproof makeup/not.This can remove waterproof makeup,but you must press and hold for a moment then swipe for better result on removing it rather than swiping it over and over.
For the pump,it's supposed to help us to control the amount of the product , but I rather prefer to pour it rather than using this pump! This pump is the worst! Instead of keeping the amount under control,it burst the water everywhere and waste the product more!
When I used this,there's a slight filmsy feeling from the moisture I guess? But I'm not really comfortable with it. Even it claims to be no need to wash off,and you can just skip your double cleansing and skincare routine and jump to bed for a good night sleep after it, but I still don't want to do as it said. It's still better to do your regular routine unless you're in hurry or very tired. And if you want to cleanse and re apply makeup when you're outside,I recommend you to wipe the water after cleansing with dry cotton,or cleanse it with wet cotton and then dry it first before putting your makeup.

How to use:
1. Soak the cotton pad and swipe gently over the area where you want to cleanse
2. For waterproof makeup ,press gently and hold for few seconds then swipe gently
3. You can leave it unwash and sleep,or dry it then sleep,or you do double cleansing it's up to you

There're 3 types , for dry and normal skin,for oily combi skin, for aging  skin.

Anyway,sorry I don't take any picture of the liquid,but it's water based,so it's watery and transparent.


So,let's go to conclusion!

PROS:
1. Safe ingredients (even though not as natural as Bioderma)
2. Hypoallergenic
3. Cleansing power is awesome (but never tried it on waterproof makeup)
4. Affordable
5. You can find it everywhere !
6. Neutral scent!

CONS:
1.Crappy pump!
2.Filmsy feeling (but I guess you won't find it in other types)

RATINGS:


4,5 out of 5stars (because of the pump!)

WILL I REPURCHASE?
Yes! But I will try other brands too

So have you tried this product? What's your favorite makeup remover?

My Mini Haul from KL not from Online Shops

Hey hey!Sorry for the absent!
To start this new month,let's open with mini haul post!
My first ever haul post! LOL /slap
So I have write it down this post about 1 week ago but I haven't finish yet,so let's finish it now!!


****
Sorry for late post for this because my trip to KL was 2weeks ago LOL /slap
Well,this is not a big haul whatsoever but I'm posting this because I NEVER BUY ANY SKINCARE/MAKEUP PRODUCT BEFORE ON MY TRIPS. so this is my first time,and bought it on the market,not olshops.
So I was looking for Bioderma Sensibio H2O in full size since there's no market in my place even Guardian sell this and since it's said that this baby has launched in Jakarta so I thought this baby will be easily find at Guardians in KL (but I was wrong!I've searched everywhere but none!)
Sad,but the good thing is I found all this baby!
1.An one piece dress that's major expensive! (about IDR400++)

Actually I've bought quite some new clothes,but I only took this picture since I like it the most(?)

Then a mask pack in purple color (Black Pearl) from My Sister's Diary (the gold one is my mom's)
An eyeliner from Kiss Me (on the right of my mask)
A limited pack duo of mascara and the remover from Kiss Me (below my mask pack)
And a makeup remover from Bifesta!
(The one mascara from Kiss Me on the top right is my friend's (she asked me to buy it and she will pay after I came back))

2.This is awesome! Made my day! Saw this one last pack on the shelf I couldn't even believe it I thought that's just a picture wtf lol
It's a limited edition for Christmas and I'm so lucky I got this on February XD
It only cost me like one mascara from this brand,but I got an extra for the mascara remover!
Can't stop keep smiling after bought this even though I wish for a duo combo of mascara and eyeliner /slap


tbh at first I'm confused to pick Majolica Majorca's or Kiss Me's (the store has that two brands) but never mind Majolica Majorca! No thinking twice! A limited last one pack ,who can resist? *cough*

Oh yeah btw it's the long lash type mascara

3. And tomorrow....I found this!!!!(In a different store)
A limited edition of Majolica Majorca's anniversary set that contains a mascara,pencil eyelner,four eyeshadows,lip plumper,and a mirror! Great deal!
But I have no regret,since I'm not really interested and it still cost me a neck-choking price.
Say goodbye!
4. Bought on the same day with my mascara pack.
A water based makeup remover from Bifesta.
Seriously I'm desperate to look a tube of Bioderma's but nay,nowhere to be found. So I decided to take a look for other brands. Read the ingredients list and a lot of the brands that the store sells have safe ingredients! Even it's not as natural as Bioderma's
So ,my mom keep shouting for me to hurry and I just like,whatever! Ask the saleslady! And she pointed this,but in different type for combi-oily skin. She said it's the bestseller for makeup remover since it's free from harmful ingredients and water based (and I remembered the others that I checked before aren't water based)
So since my cheek is very dry I pick for dry skin type even she insisted that I should take for combi skin since my nose have some oil .
I have been using this for a moment and will post a review soon!
5.A mask pack contains 2sheets of mask that I bought on second day.Have tried 1 sheet but can't give you the review since I only wore it for 5minutes before I threw it furiously .Yeap,I can't hold it any longer since my mom keep shouting and yelling for an hour with some crappy nonsense and she often repeated I look like a ghost (because of the mask). She's not teasing me,she seriously blew out of nowhere. What's the point if you granted me to buy it and paid for it but I can't wear it? The first time to tried a mask sheet and it's ruined!! wtf
6.An eyeliner from Kiss Me! that I bought on second day. I forgot the price,but after left the store I went to Sasa (I've curious about what it is since one day before I bought this,but my mom insisted to keep walking) and found out it's on sale!!!! OMFG! just waste my money.But there's no way I'll buy double even in different color!I was like keep giving a suggestion that it's okay,I don't waste my money,it has been paid with the mascara pack that you bought yesterday (you know what I mean?)









So,that's a wrap. Very mini haul ,right? Well for me it's my first time to buy this kind of stuffs on my trip and in a counter.

So,that's all for now,hope you enjoy it,will post more soon!

Good Night~
