Living As Indonesian Chinese part 1

Yes, I'm not talking about beauty of make up, as I said before I like to talk about beauty on everything :)
As you might guess, I am an Indonesian born Chinese. This two different country has different kind of beauty. But I was always thought the beauty itself is how do we feel about it, so don't be offended because I'm not trying to say Indonesia and China is more beautiful than other countries.

I've never been going to China, sadly. I've got families there too. My Grandfather is from Fu Jian.

First I thought, Oowww... Fu Jian is very near to Taiwan, from its look on the map.

That's why my name's Hoo :D The more I look at the pictures of China, cultures, nature, the people (good or bad as it is) I feel the comfort of having close relationship with the country. BUT I am Indonesian, I born here, and I also might die here, I hope.

So being Indonesian Chinese, me and families has rules which is acculturation from Traditional China, Dutch, and Javanese. In Indonesia you can't generalize only 1 culture to be known, there's a lot of cultures in Indonesia, I just coincidentally born in Central Java.

So in this mixed culture I grew up and found some what we're a little bit different from Chinese or Indonesian, like building our culture itself.

If you want to go to Indonesia you might say um... native or origin people such as Javanese, Ambonese, Sumatran, etc is more open to tourist or foreigners, on the other side we're might looks a little bit stiff to mingle with foreigners. But believe me, we're excited as much as other Indonesian curiosity about different cultures and people.

Some conversations in Indonesia you might regards first like,
"Selamat pagi" = "Good morning"
"Selamat siang" = "Good afternoon"
"Selamat sore" = "Good evening"
"Selamat malam" = "Good night"

You can open conversation with:
"Hallo, apa kabar?" = "Hello, how are you?"

In common you can calls name of the person you're talking to, but if you talking to someone older you have to call "koko", Indonesian Chinese use this term to call older brother/man, "cie-cie" is use to call older sister/woman, in some regions the pronunciation become "cik" or "cicik".

When you hear "terima kasih", "trims", "kamsya" or "xie-xie" it means "thank you". Indonesian Chinese often use "kamsya" to thanks, it's like business terms but you can use it if you're close enough with the person.

Kamsya for keep reading the blog, and I hope we can share to know cultures in the world :)

HELLO!!~ Products Review: Face Shop, ETUDE, Tony Moly, and Maybelline

Hello-Hello :)

It’s been so long since I've blogged, had been busy and tiring weeks, I almost get sick :(. Some of you might know beside Korean songs, Korean make up look is also popular recently. I don’t really into it until I found the Korean daily look is most likely simple and natural, not to heavy on eyeliner and no bold mascara/false lashes needed like Gyaru look in Japan. If you want to try Korean makeup look you might like to see Jung Sae Mool YT channel or oiseau88 YT channel.

click here : YT @oiseau88
or here : YT @jungsaemool



FYI I also found this YT channel of Japanese makeup look, it’s also simple look actually but really have bold eyelashes and eyeliner

YT @TheGODMake


So here I’ve got some review for you, for new items that I’ve got :

1. FaceShop FaceIt Power perfection bb cream
Really-really light bb cream and brightening effect for your skin, it has variation colors, mine in Light Beige. It has 37 SPF/PA ++ and matte finish look. Be sure to let it blend to your skin for a while before apply loose powder for light makeup or compact for heavy makeup. I suggest using powder brush to apply thin layer of powder, you don’t have to use powder if you like. You can use dry sponge to apply it or with fingers it’s up to you.

2. My Lips Eat Cherry aqua tint, Lovely Me:Ex by FaceShop
I love this! It’s going to make your lip getting natural red. You can apply it on inner side of the lip after use the concealer on your lip and blend it out to get natural gradation. If you want to know how its look you can see some videos of girlband on YouTube, one you can see by click the link below:

Secret - POISON (catchy beat makes me remember Beyonce kind of)
Secret – Poison

Touch! Wew... Their dances are stimulating...
MissA – Touch


3. Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals healthy natural concealer
Well this concealer is average, I guessed… I’ve never use concealer except going to party and had makeup artist apply my makeup. This time I choose this because it’s less expensive, works well, and at least makes my panda eyes less (muncul). If you have bigger budget to buy another product it’s okay 

4. Etude Drawing Show Gel Eyeliner
Err… This is my first gel eyeliner, I usually use liquid or pencil eyeliner, for me this gel liner is good. For a gel liner starter beginner it’s easy to use (sorry for subjective comment). But I have to look down and wait a while until the gel getting dry; usually I continue to work on my eye makeup (nggak sabaran). If you don’t wait until it’s dry it might blotchy on the lid…

5. TONY MOLY Simply Style Slim Mascara
I just open this and try it once, love it, (bisa menahan) my eyelashes natural look, and have the feel longer eyelashes look. One thing that I like this better than Maybelline Hyper Curl is it’s easier to remove with eye and lip makeup remover. Don’t you find it (mengganggu) when your mascara keeps half hanging on your lashes?

6. Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express
Don’t use it on lower lashes if you already have long lashes or thick lower lashes (maybe?). It’s going to fat up your lower lashes and make your eyes bold. For thin and little lower lashes better use this hehehe… It’s going to frame your eyes pretty.

7. Lovely Me:Ex cushion blusher by FaceShop
Ummm… It has pretty pink and orange color, but the point from this product is the package very cute!! Look at the blusher cute little ribbon on top of the puff hahaha… Makes you feel like little princess LOL.

8. REVLON New Complexion Sun Block Face Cream
The great thing from this product is the price is less expensive (of course), and light feels of sun block cream. Even though after approximately 5-6 hours it’s going to make your face bit oily (note: if it’s applied on combination skin like mine). Maybe not really a problem for dry skin face because it has vitamin C that gives moisture and smoothness skin and helping on tightening face.

9. Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Oil by FaceShop
I recently use this for removing any makeup excess’ left on my face after using cleanser. Looking oil cleanser without oil and oily result? It’s working really well. Your skin feels moisten and don’t worry, it’s not going to make the skin becomes oily.

10. RICE Ceramide moisture toner
Very sweet smell was containing in this toner phew… Giving you fresher skin, but so far I don’t find it special… But yeah it’s moisture your skin and not gonna make the skin dry like some other toners


Well, that’s all :D I hope the information help you to choose Korean product especially FaceShop if you want to try it, I’m personally recommend the skin care products.

I realized that I bought a lot of things lately, also since I’m into cooking too… FYI I’m not a good cook, but I like to cook sometime mostly Japanese cuisine. If you ask me about Indonesian cuisine don’t ask me, Indonesian cuisine is very hard for me (@_@)”

I like to share my opinion on cooking sometime 
See you next blog, sampai jumpaaa….~

T-ARA Lovey Dovey Zombie Look Inspired Make Up

HAHAHA!!! In the middle of the night, I don’t have anything to do, and I don’t want to sleep yet. Watching T-ARA Lovey Dovey MV on my computer, and thinking to do the zombie look (it’s Halloween anyway I need something to spice up things). I’ve never do this kind of inspired makeup look, always see it on Youtube (check out oiseau88, Promise Phan and, meejmuse they’re amazing!)

I took these picture as reference. So this is it, my zombie look make up!

I think it’s so silly of me doing this, but its fun though.
So first I applied eye base gel on my lids, and used my Ultima II loose powder and made darker area became as pale as zombie like (better use white powder). I started to draw on eye lid a big wing liner with dark eye shadow to make it easier to draw with pencil liner (better use liquid liner/gel liner; I don’t have it at this time so I use my pencil liner).

I was used white matte eye shadow around the brow bone and made skin paler around the eyes, also added shimmer white eye shadow on the middle of the eye lid. Touch up the wing liner with pencil liner again and made it blend with white shimmer eye shadow just before on the middle lid. Lastly add black liner on water line, just half way though. Eye makeup finished.

I tried to shade my cheek to look thinner with brown flesh eye shadow to make my cheek bone higher and hollow cheeks. To make paler look, I was applied bb cream on my lip and use matte pink lipstick and use lip aqua tint on inside area of my lip.

Final Look

Narcissist time… (hahahahaha!!!!!!!)

Actually it’s not look like T-ARA zombie look, but it’s fun I think to try another inspired makeup look. But what d’ya think?

Hi everyone, since I’m selling ETUDE original product online, so here’s something for you which is recommended to buy :)

BACK to ETUDE!! Milk Talk ETUDE is Milky Body Wash with sweet milk fragrance for you girls (and boys if you’re interested ;))
It’s promo week my customers get this very very cute HQ sponge bath!

1. Milk Talk Bath Strawberry Set include strawberry body lotion, strawberry sponge bath, strawberry milk shower body wash, and strawberry shower cap (cute packaging, the box was designed like pink refrigerator). The Shower cap is really cute, it’s round and has strawberry pattern, also reminds me of painter’s hat.

2. Milk Talk Set is including cute sponges! There’re 5 fragrance, strawberry milk, banana milk, apple milk, chocolate milk, and white milk. Each type get 1 free sponge refers to fragrance; you’ll get strawberry sponge if you choose Milk Talk Strawberry and apple sponge for Milk Talk Apple.

ETUDE FREE SAMPLES!!
I’ve got a lot of free samples since getting a lot products sold, I try the bb cream :D I know some sellers sell the samples for around 0.5$, but I don’t intend to do that. It’s free; I even gave some to my customers so they might get to buy the product.

From left to right and to the left again : Bright Fit BB Cream 30 SPF, Bright Fit BB Cream 50 SPF, Nymph Aura Volumer, white moistfull, be clear moisturizer, and chocolate milk talk body wash, and collagen moistfull,

Bright Fit BB Cream Precious Mineral 30 SPF and 50 SPF
I tried this and finished off 1 sachet already, you don’t have to use a lot, you can use two times for 1 sachet :) I like this one!! Better than the 50 SPF. Why? Because the 50 SPF more oily but more lasting though. So it’s up to you, if your face is oily you can use the 30 SPF, if you need to use long lasting make up use the 50 SPF (oil face paper recommended, usually in tropical country heat seems to make our skin produce oil to keep the skin moist)

Nymph Aura Volumer
I haven’t use this yet, don’t have party event yet (hey… my friend getting married this October, and Halloween party also!!). Why it’s really good to use for party? I don’t say it’s for party, you like to look like Korean artist this is what you need :D It’s going to make your face brighter and shimmery look like Korean artist do 
White Moistfull and Be Clear Moisturizer are moisturizer of course, all for brightening effects, different use.

Milk Talk Choco!!
I’m giving these free samples to customer!

Collagen Moistfull trial kit, haven’t open it yet, its collagen moisturizer kit. You know, collagen is good for rejuvenating and make younger skin for your face, even though in some cases make you get acne breakout. So far I’m consuming vitamin E for my skin, never get the chance to try collagen drink (hmm… Thinking to try it)

Mini Make Up and Skin Care Collection

note: I'm not a make-up artist or make up guru. I'm just learning makeup by my own.

Hi :)
Couple weeks ago I was disposing expired makeup, so I bought some for exchange, and thin up my entire collection. Especially skin care routine, since my face is improving so I change my dermatologist skin care to Body Shop.

Fist thing first, this is my blusher, face powders, and eyeshadows...

1. Maybelline Shine Free Blush is very pigmented, matte results, good pint is you don't have to dab it too much to apply it on your face. For lighter skin would be too red, so do not get too many or you might end up like your face's slapped.

2. Tony Moly Cristal Blusher :) I like it so much, it's new, I just bought it and fell in love with it. I know I should go for peach or orange, because this pink jubilee works more like shimmers for your face

3. REVLON compact powder, I love this so much yet this one was the cause of my whiteheads break out... This works really well actually, matte results gives clean smooth face. I keep this just for finishing bold make up. *I don't want to have whiteheads breakout again*

4. Acnes Compact Powder, when I've got those whiteheads on my face, I thought it might help, but the smell is... like medication drugs? Anyway I don't like it.

5. Viodi Acne Loose Powder, I found this loose powder and love it, very soft particle, makes your face soft but it's only have one color. After my peeling done, my face brighter then before this powder makes my face darker.

6. Ultima II Full Moisture Loose Powder, my current loose powder, yey... I like it so much, light on your face, and very cute lavender package :)

7. Mirabella 12 colors palette ----> THESE actually my first eye shadow palettes! For beginners this palette is cheap, high pigmented, long lasting use, and great colors. This is local by the way, made in Indonesia :D *on my college time I was only using dark eyeliner and black eye shadow... punk and goth always my style those days...(-___- ")

8. Bless Eye Shadow, I want to dispose this, but the texture is good, nothing change, so I guess it's still save to use. . . Maybe I'll dispose this later. It's not really great but not bad, just average eye shadow. Again this is also local, made in Indonesia.

9. VIVA Eye Shadow Duo! Hahahaha!!! I've got these two when I buy set of eye brow and liner pencil of VIVA. Do I recommend these? It has really shimmer pigmented color, so I'm not using it as eye shadows yet, sometime I use the brick brown eye shadow as eye brow liner to match my hair color to my eye brow :p But the black is matte so I uses it as eye liner sometime.

10. Moving on to my second favorite : REVLON Wet/Dry Shadow Ombre A Paupiers, in flesh tone :D This very good for natural look if you're in hurry, bit light and dark shadows give some eye liner, taraaaa... finish!!

11. Last eye shadow is my NEW NYX 10 colors eyeshadow, the Runway Collection, Caviar and Bubble. LOVE IT! It's my favorite now :D Almost use it all the time :D It's high pigmented for long use, nude and netral color plus soft pink and matte black! I definitely recommend this for 2012 makeup beginners!

Lipsticks, I had a lot of lipsticks before, so sad when my favorite nude color is expired.

12. VIVA Queen in pale pink, this one have cute matte color, sometime I use this as lip base (hahaha...)before I apply another lipstick to make lip-tint Korean look.

13. ETUDE Aqua Rouge, it's orange red, very beautiful color, glossy look makes you lip plumps, maybe I'll look for orange like orange fruit lipstick after this haha! I'm referring Hyuna looks on PSY - Gangnam Style feat. Hyuna.

14. Maybelline Water Shine and Revlon Matte lipstick, I don't really see the differences of the color, except Maybelline have this really glossy look and Revlon really really matte. It's for natural lip color, so use it when my lip's pale or to red... or to black?

15. LIP BALM!! Don't ever wear lipstick when your lip were cracked. Put on lip balm before you sleep and apply it before using lipstick. If I'm too lazy to wears lipstick, I use Lip Ice Sheer Color :) It's gradually change your lip bit more red. Oriflame Tender care isn't only use for lip, it can be use for any other dry area such your hands, nails, elbows, ankles etc. I've got this Tender Care Caramel on promo, smell sweet like caramel syrup or candy ;p

16. ORIFLAME Very Me liquid foundation... actually I must confess, I don't know what the hell is this, is it bb cream? Foundation? Maybe a primer base for make up? Anyway I use this before match so good on my skin, right now it's make my face become orange *Duh.. I'm happy my face is brighter, but it cost me to dispose this foundie thing and loose powder

17. New mascara... Hyper Curl Mascara by Maybelline, my last mascara from Face Shop was dry up, so I guess it's time to change it. My first mascara also Maybelline, it's cheap (in my opinion)and good quality also. My new and still in sealed is Tony Moly Simply Style, I haven't use it yet because mascara only have 3 months using time, if you keep it correctly it may live longer (Gahahahaha.. sorry I don't have better line)

18. VIVA Queen eye base gel , I'm not recommend to buy this but it's cheap and useful for some time to keep your eye make up stay longer. You may have another brand for this.

19. SHISEIDO Black Mask!! I highly recommend this, but if you have sensitive skin or having acne problems please cure the acne first before use. This peel off mask is works really good! It's peel off you dead skin, whiteheads, blackheads, and I think some of your face hair! (just kidding!) you may get it online for 1$ a sachet, 1 sachet for 2 times full face mask, and 5-6 times for your nose/T area.

20. Since I'm wearing Body Shop Skin care, their day cream don't have SPF or sun blocking effects, so I bought this REVLON new complexion sun block face cream. Very light, I'm apply this after day moisturizer cream and before bb cream.

21. Hair velcro!! I'm addicted to this thing hahaha!! Works better than having bandana :) It's for holding your hair back while you apply make up, wearing mask, or cleaning your face. very-very cheap! 1$ maybe, but in Indonesia only IDR 3000 hahaha...

So that's is my mini make up collection, if you got review on product that I use let me know :)

My New Brushes And Stuffs

Hi! Having make up is almost like doing artwork hee...hee... We should have BRUSHES!

If I looking for painting brushes, I like it soft and durable. Some of my brushes are made from fox hair. But when I picking brushes for make up I'm a little bit confuse.

Beware of fake brushes, especially when you go to online shop that sell MAC Brushes Set with cheap price. I don't wanna judge that brushes aren't good for your face but, as I collecting information there's no MAC brushes set except Hello Kitty Brushes Set. There's also Bobbi Brown replica brushes set.

I did almost buy those replica make up brushes, but when I saw the quality of it in beauty shop there's no different with China/Hongkong/Taiwan make up brushes quality. Yes, it is soft and really good to use (I don't know about the durability), but it has ridiculously expensive in my opinion compare to non branded make up brushes from China.

I uses Oriflame brushes before and an unknown blusher brush (I forgot what it's brand or where I bought it, I think I bought it in Surabaya)

Do you see that orange and white pencil in there?

It's my new eye brow pencil and eye liner pencil from VIVA
Yes! It is VIVA I'm talking about, maybe for Indonesian women must know about this brand. It's famous from it's cheap prices and natural make up for Tropical country.

Maybe Viva is the ELF from Indonesia, so far I know ELF is very cheap cosmetic (a dollar for an eyelash curler?)

I like this eyebrow pencil, I'm not an eyebrow pencil user before I met this pencil :) But I don't really like the pencil liner, it's OK for couple hours if you apply on eye lid, just don't apply on your waterline because it's get messy quickly.


About Oriflame powder brush... It's bit itchy on my face. I don't use it often, that's why I need new powder brush. Blender brush is a Ok.

Continued to fake MAC and Bobbi Brown brushes, I think it doesn't matter what brand I use, isn't like everybody gonna check what brand do I use anyway, right? I'm representing ordinary person who love and try to appreciate how to appear great with make up :)

With 10$ I bought the whole set of brushes (even I don't know what the hell it's use most of it)

This is the brushes set pouch, it's look cheap but I don't really care as long it can manage all my brushes when I'm going to travel.

So this is 18 brushes set, don't be afraid, they're really soft!! I like how neat the brushes, easy to clean, and cheap also.

I'm using them a lot hee... hee... it's almost 2 weeks.

Did I mention that I want to colors my hair? Yey!! I did!
I used ETUDE Bubble DIY hair coloring :) It's very easy, even though all "how to" is in Korean.

Click here if you want to know how to use this product : Liese Bubble Hair Colour

I used natural brown on my black hair, I don't bleach, if you want to have brighter color maybe you should buy bleaching hair cream.

How's the result?

I haven't take a clear photo of myself, I prefer to photo shoot someone else, but that hair's color is changed taraaa... It's really bright under sunlight, so far I love it so much :)

Err.. My face looks tired here... Well, lately I've been busy. Along with going back and forth from Salatiga to Semarang every weekend, last time I went to dress fitting to make new party long dress. My fiancee's brother going to be married this November, I'm going to help on reception desk, in Indonesia the guests usually bring gift (or money pocket gift) and fills guest book, so I'll be responsible for those gifts basket. A little bit boring thing actually...

To maintain my hair healthiness I used these :

Tresemme is in Indonesia :D
I want the heat protection hair spray but i can't find it. So I change to Intensive Makarizo Serum and Heat Protection Spray

Smell's good! It's make my hair soft and silky :) Love it! I recommend it, you can apply it before styling your hair with hair straightener or curling iron, just make sure your hair is dry and the serum soak into you hair.

Gangnam Style Flash Mob Hits Jakarta

"Heeeeyyyyyy.... Sexy Ladyyyy....!!!"

I Believe Gangnam Style also struck your homeland already!! YEEEYYY!!!!

I personally heard of this "gangnam style" but never thought it will be very very huge! So I look up the video and I understand why it's become very phenomenal (^ . ^)

The music is catchy, and the main point is the dance! So Psy Oppa's dancing like a cowboy riding a horse, at first segment you'll little boy dancing with very very rebellious but very cute face fufufu~

Flash Mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_mob

FLASH MOB GANGNAM STYLE JAKARTA - INDONESIA

What do you think? Give them thumbs up :D

I Want To Do Beauty Experiment

YES! I want to do make up experiment before I'm to old to do it hahaha...

So recently I was so drowned in make up beauty tutorial videos, if you like Korean make up I recommend to look at Jung Sae Mool video on you tube. Also don't forget cl2425, and once in a while interesting make up and hair styling from meejmuse, beautifymeh, xteener, sasakisasahi, or frheadtotoe. Maybe you also know Michelle Phan too, but I like her beauty tips better than make up tutorial.

What I'm into is ulzzang eyes make up, like winged eyeliner, but every time I try it's not ulzzang....

Actually that's also my first time I'm trying Silver Summer Make Up from Jung Sae Mool with equipment as it is (@_@)" it's a failure though...

it's another try for ulzzang eyes

I have trouble with applying pencil liner, I prefers to liquid eye liner and I never wear gel eye liner or compact eyeliner. Sometime I use black or dark brown eyeshadow and dab it on to make the eye line.

I like my last make up though, I feel more fresh hehehe...

See ya... (^___^)

Chemical Peeling - My Face Back!

Waiiii!! I'm so happy!!!

My face back! My face a lot smoother and brighter (bye-bye red face). Of course my skin a little bit flake off once in a while, there's still little dead skin left.

I've got a story to share if you want to go to Dermatologist and want to have chemical peeling, ask every details of post-treatment before you let the Doctor apply those chemical thingy!

Actually chemical peeling process different with using night peeling cream. I put night peeling cream is a soft method to peeling the dead skin off, because chemical peeling have 3 levels types : mild, medium and deep.

Mild Chemical Peeling
This type can be used on all skin types. Mild chemical peels usually use liquid containing a mild acid (usually taken from fruits but it depend), most often glycolic acid. The chemical peeling is applied to the skin with small brush, left on for several minute, then it's wipe off. You'll feel little burning or hot on your skin while the chemical works.

Before peeling make sure to prepares your skin with skincare regiment every day by cleansing twice a day, and never forget to wear sunscreen to avoid brown spots, this will help your skin peels evenly and increase healing after peel.

Medium Chemical Peeling
The steps is same as mild peeling, but medium peels are more painful than superficial peels, because the chemicals are stronger and they soak deeper into the skin.
Maybe you'll be given pain reliever (@_@)"

Deep Chemical Peeling
Is the most painful type of chemical peeling, I never done this, sort of this method better for particular case. It's using complicated chemicals and start off with anesthesia injection. Heart monitor to receive intravenous used during procedure, because this peeling method using phenol which is toxic when absorbed into body systems in large doses. After the skin has been thoroughly cleaned, the chemical will be applied and allowed to penetrate. After one area of the face is treated, there will be a 15-minute break before the next area is treated to avoid getting too much phenol in your system.

Tape or ointment may be applied to the area after the peel to treat deeper problem areas. When tape is used, it is removed after 2 days. Ointment is washed off with water after 24 hours and then reapplied as needed.

Depending on how large an area is being treated, the entire procedure may take 60 to 90 minutes.

. . . . It's almost similar to torture than treatment. . . I think. . . .


Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy.......

I went to my Dermatologist, Dr. Elly (Skin Clinic Elia Pharma at Indraprasta Semarang, Indonesia). She gave little information about step by step to use the night cream and night peeling cream, toner, and facial foam. BUT she never told me if applying thick or thin peeling cream have different effect on the skin! It might be different effects or progress if you choose different peeling cream.

When I go back to clinic to ask (to sue! Sue the doctor!!). Unfortunately the doctor was going to social group gathering, the substitute was very nice to see me even though it's almost closed, with her stiff face and soft voice, she told me the sunburn feels and stingy stuff to my skin was happen because the peeling cream effects to heavy (0_o)! Not all women (or men) smeared thin layer of face cream, wait maybe just me who smeared face cream to thick . . .

She gave me cleansing cream which reduce the heat effects, calming the skin, and day cream. So my face naturally better :)

I suggest to ask clearly step by step, amount of cream or how far the condition of skin peeling treatments are still in normal condition, what to do in case of irritation, and what kind of irritation that can happen to your skin.

Be beauty and healthy!

Chemical Peeling - Hurting My Face OFF

Hello guys, how are you this weekend?

I was planning to share my new mini make up collection for this week topic, and I hope you guys kind enough to give some feed back about cosmetics that I bought. BUT my plan was interrupted by this night cream accident from my new dermatologist.

I don't usually go to dermatologist, because my first skin clinic was cost too much with no different change on my skin. The second one is cheaper, the treatment kind of working but the place really far from my house, and the dermatologist's not always available because she got 3 beauty clinics. I don't like it when the double change my prescription without permission. Since then I'm wearing non medical facial skin treatment like Ponds or Body Shop.

At Sunday (2/9 2012)I went to my sister Dermatologist, a reason why do I don't like to go to skin clinic is the possibility of getting chemical treatment dependency. But since I've got skin irritation from my previous compact powder and got whiteheads breakout (strange right?) I thought to consult my condition, buy the night cream, and get the problem solved.

I told her (my dermatologist), I've got some acne scars from irritation and want to clear that up, I told her I want to clear my freckles to (at least to fade my freckles). I have freckles, it's my biggest problem on my face. She gave me facial foam, skin toner, 2 kind of night creams. Night cream can't do any harm right, it's gonna make your skin smooth in the morning right?? Or that's what I usually think.

But it appears this night cream is nightmare...
SHE GAVE ME CHEMICAL PEELING CREAM

I know this is normal for dermatologist to give it for healing acne scars and removing blemishes, but I don't know this will be going for weeks of peeling the dead skin off (the duration depends on the condition of your skin face). For the first 3 days my face hurt, my skin become red (like boiled crab), and dry. I can't smile too wide or open my mouth to bite big size food (like sweet bread or even a sushi), so I have to cut it smaller.

I want to cry. What if it become worse? My face is darker day by day and feels like plastic wrapping my face. When I googled some info of chemical peeling, oh, so having red face and peel off skin are natural to happen when you've got chemical peeling. Even it's natural, hurting my face is my last option to fix my face problem, IMO hurting your face is not good for mental health! I'm not confident, getting panic attack, and not enough sleep for 5 days!

What's make me nervous is on next Monday is going to be first week of semester, I can't speak and give lecture in front of new students *Argh! They will get super destructive horror and permanently stick in their brain

After 3 days, yesterday and today my face calming off, not really getting more redness but still drying and peels off a bit. There's some dark skin spots on my face, it's look like plastic or dry peel off mask, it's disturbing.

You might think why did I continue this treatment? I want to continue this madness because when I look at my left cheek yesterday I saw no dry and dark skin spot area was peeled, maybe it's peeled off when I clean my face with toner, the skin in that area is really soft and it's color like my usual skin tone!

So cross my finger and hope this dark skin spots peels off soon.

I miss my make up a bit... hee hee...

My Little Kimmy 2 ~I wanna go too!

Another meme story about Kimmy fufufu~ *based on true story anyway*

Please see next act of Kimmy too ;D

Make Up Dummy Me

I was asking my self :

Do you have any idea there's A LOT of brush types for make up?
Have you use your brushes correctly and cleaned it at minimum once a week?
Are you aware that organic or eco-make up also have chemicals inside?
Are you aware that make up must expired date even it has natural ingredients?

Actually I'm using make up since High School, but I'm not aware of what should or shouldn't in make up things. For professional make up artist I must be claimed for severely retarded on the issues of make up problems. So put on make up every day without noticing how to overcome make up problems and maintain healthy make up not making you a make up pro (-_____- ")

Have you heard a Korean girl case? Bae Dal Mi is a 20 years old girl who did not remove her make up for 2 years! Crazy thing huh? Her make up was perfect, but she's not aware that make up can do such harm to her appearance, now she have early aging on her skin twice of her age!

BRUSHES

Good brushes were made of goat/sable/pony hair (no kidding, it's also good for painting, even China uses fox's hair to make painting brushes). There's also synthetic hair which is cheaper.

To maintain it's look and longing the brushes quality, use baby soap/shampoo to rinse it at least once a week, if you used heavy make up it's recommended to clean it at least twice a week. Rinse it gentle with cool water (hot water make the glue loosen up the hair), don't wipe it with tissues or cloth better to hang it to drip the water off.

It's important to clean the brushes, because make residual that remain in it can cause irritation on the skin, acne, or blackheads/whiteheads.


SPONGE

Blending sponge, cleansing sponge, or this new sponge Beauty Blender must be clean after use with cool water. Wet sponge eats a lot of compact powder/liquid foundation/cream foundation. Wet sponge which not clean often become a little bit smelly time after time, attracts mold? Maybe (0_o) Aarrgghh!!


HAIR STYLING

*recommending GHD hair straightener (I've got one)

*GHD curling iron


USE heat protection spray or serum before using hair straightener or curling iron, better do hair spa before too.

Using heat protection spray or same kind of product doesn't make your hair safe for abusing hair straightener/curling iron everyday. A very high quality hair straightener brands or HQ material used only reducing the damage of the heat (better buy recommended and high quality straightener/curling iron with expensive price than cheaper but not convincing product.

MAKE UP EXPIRED DATE
AWARE OF EXPIRED DATE! Not all make up product have expired date, especially when you buy local brands. After first time you open make up product, you have 3 years to use it up before it's expired (if it's open and only has a year expired date left then use it up quickly)

Natural substance make up has expired date! I was fooled once by a worker at famous international beauty outlet, she said it's natural product so it doesn't have expired date. Have you thought that the more it has natural substance there's great chance of limited expired date? Cut an apple, leave it for a day and see what happen to it. Cut an apple, leave it in formalin jar for a day, nothing happen.

I'm not surprise if chemical substance have long expired date.
I might updating this topic since it's important to have healthy skin with make up. If you guys know and updated bring the info :D I put your blog's link in mine :)

Baby Doll Puff ETUDE

Hi guys how's weekend?

In Indonesia girls are aware of ETUDE but you'll don't easily find ETUDE outlet except in capital city or big city, ETUDE's first outlet in Semarang was opened RECENTLY at Ciputra mall. I think I've got headache... First ETUDE house were established 2005 at Korea, and their first manufactured since 1985.

Have you heard Baby Doll Puff?

I was looking for Beauty Blender after I watched Catalina's Beauty Channel on Youtube, you can see at my blog list there's www.cl2425.com it's her :) She's one of make up guru (^___^)

I found beauty blender isn't popular in Indonesia, actually among girls around 20s like my students in Indonesia don't really use foundation or make up base before apply face powder or compact powder.

So I found this puff online, since it's not in Semarang's ETUDE counter. It's around 13$ (125.000 IDR), I was shock when I found out in Korea it's only 7000 won estimated price around 60.000 IDR. It's okay... It's okay... hahaha... *I'm trying to calm my self but it's not working when I received the item*

IT'S TOO DAMN CUTE!!

I don't know what to say really, it's small, cute, and I'm still pissed off with the price that makes it very dear to use. Since I was bought it with my drawing hee..hee.. I plan to use it after my progress's done.

A simple how to use picture of Baby Doll Puff

Until next product byee..

Hair Problems *sniff…*

Hair problems are annoying! When we’re young our hair is healthy, thick, and shiny. After teen’s era a lot of us seems getting hair dullness, it might because of hair dye, smoothing, digital perm, curling, any hairstyling which applying chemical stuff to our hair also UV light, oxidant effects, etc.

Even we don’t do any hairstyling sometime we get dandruff, oily hair and scalp, or hair fall. The scariest thing to women getting baldness, there I’ve said it.
I’ve experienced time when I was having hair fall problem, many tips I tried isn’t 100% work. My boyfriend said if I stressed out that’s when the problem is appear, I try to avoid stress’ obstacles with meditation somehow it’s not always work.

When I went to Erha Beauty Clinic and got hair medication that brought my hair back, I kept my hair black and grow. After few months, I went to Surabaya (big city of East Java, Indonesia) and met my friend who has beauty salon; I dyed my hair and got curled hahaha…

After passed a half year I must cut my hair because it’s frizzy, dry, and falls once again. Since then I’m having up and down situation with my hair, I’m afraid to dye it again (;____;)

Honestly I want it so bad… Have you heard ETUDE Bubble Hair Dye? I want to try it!! You can use it by yourself to dye your hair, and it says very easy to use like using shampoo.

I look the tutorial on Youtube and find another product, there's a tutorial so you can doing it right because some might different on how to apply it. here's the link : Liese Bubble Hair Colour

ETUDE Bubble is the next target after my hair gets healthy again , luckily I found this really recommended hair tonic from Japan, KAMINO MOTO

I’ve been using it and really work out! My hair getting thicker, less hair fall, and good fragrance :D

My aunt brought it from Jakarta, I don’t know where to buy it at Salatiga or Semarang, it’s imported product but I don’t see it at malls or beauty and cosmetic stores. When I look up online it’s cost 20-25$ (Rp.200.000-250.000) exclude shipping rate... Oh my God… I’m still looking for it at Semarang, if you know any information about KAMINO MOTO in Semarang please let me know, I really really appreciate it :)

Another product that I try to help my hair problem is this shampoo:

*That's my Luffy's action figure hihihi...

Kadus Immunal for temporary hair fall, it’s quite pricey about 11$ (Rp. 110.000). I used Pantene before, at first I don’t really having hair problem except up and down hair fall thing, after months I used it I’ve got dandruff. I don't know why, I guess we should exchange product once in a while.

If you have hair problems like me and survived it please share your tips, it's going to be really helpful!

My Little Kimmy

Hi everyone!٩（^ヮ^）
Do you have a pet??
Please meet my lovely Kimmy :

She’s a medium Pomeranian breed, her weight only 2 kilos max, maybe 30 cm long and 25 cm back tall. For Pomeranian breed, her fur type is not as fluffy as show quality Pomeranian, but I don’t care anyway she’s lovely as always.

Last year I walked her around university just for fun once. When I’m going to go back, a security guard was asking me dull question after saw Kimmy… “Oh my, it’s so tiny, what is it? A mouse??”. I don’t know what to answer so I smiled and left, you know what I mean, right?

One thing I like about Kimmy is her sleeping style!! I’ve made a meme story about her please tell me what you think :p (click for larger image)

"Nice to meet you all!!" *wuff!! wuff!!*

Chinen Yuri of Hey! Say! JUMP Artwork

While a lot of women are getting crazy with Korean boybands, I found this boy Chinen Yuri, a member of Japanese boyband named Hey! Say! JUMP under Johnny's Jr. Management.

Because of his cuteness and very cute smile he has, I tried to draw him hahaha!!

My scan broke down, so I took it with blackberry camera... I should buy pocket camera after this... *ugh!*

I'm specialized on comic and manga illustration, I'm awares my realism style is average, so Chinen become really loook like picture of manga, oh dear, faulty... so I played it a bit with Adobe Photoshop *tricky*

If you think Chinen is cute, you must search Ryosuke Yamada in Google, my next project is making his drawing hehehe...

Korea Beauty Stuff Addicted?

Hi, as you know Korean Wave getting attention in fashion and cosmetics world wide.

Korean Wave's really trending in my country, boybands and girlbands are appearing with ridiculously speed like growing mushrooms. This also makes girls interested in how to be appears like Korean actress, personally I like it too, but it's not my biggest concern though.

But curiosity beats me, recently I bought this thing : Red Pomegranate Whitening Lotion. I have some problem in my hands and feet area, I've got sun burnt when going out under the sun (;___;), it's bothers me. It's got worse after my trip to Madura Island (I think I like to share to you guys after I transfer photos from my camera.

It says can make your skin glows and white in instant. I'm aware that 'instant' thing might dangerous, but I try it anyway and spent about 6$ include shipping rate. So this is the product :

Hey, it might work haha... Sorry for bad picture I took it with my Blackberry camera.
It's not making your skin getting white in instant permanently, when you rinse the lotion off while bathing, your skin back to the way it is before but cleaner and soft! The seller said it's going to make my skin white permanently after using it approximately 3 months. Okay, after I finished this stuff up I'll throw it into trash bin. I'm not sure this product was manufactured in Korea, in the back of package I don't see any information where the hell is the company. Seller's also sent me this package in plastic wrap no box, where's the guarantee???

Another thing that I bought is this : DoDora All Gone Hair

This thing gonna make you think it's from Korea, actually it's from Taiwan (what?)
With this product because you can get rid of you body hair like on your arms, legs, and armpits easily in 10-15 minutes no shaving and no waxing anything. It might can be use for 'other' hair but I'm not recommend that.

It's easy, warm your body parts which you want to get rid of the hair, apply small amount of lotion make sure it spread evenly, wait for 10 minutes, rub with warm wet towel voila... your hair gone! I don't know, but your hair will detached (?) or fall off (??) I think it's gone along with skin impurities maybe?

I tried it on my arms and leg :p Actually I don't have annoying body hair, so after used it I just feel my legs are smoother hihihi... It's been a month and my legs still smooth,I like it.

This is the package, it's small but it's not that pricey too it's about 3.5$ include shipping rate.

But it's also don't have company information nor ingredients... The back of it we'll see information of the product and how to use it. Meh.. what the..

I believe this thing looks like Japanese Skin Bleaching Cream, once I read about it in comic-manga book! Believe it or not it's manga of Miiko!

Well, that a few reviews about product that being used recently by me. Be aware anyway, Korea top products isn't usually found easily and it's not going to be cheap!

Hi... Mini Puchi-desu (｡◕‿◕｡)

Hi everyone, this is my first English language blog, I named it Mini Puchi, "puchi" actually a Japanese term of petite, and from what I read, is not similar to "chibi". Puchi is smaller than chbi (^__^") So Mini Puchi meant very very small (hahaha...)

I'm aware of blog was made to fulfill people's need to write, twitter also took important part of human need to talk and sharing. I'm one of million blogger who get the advantages of writing blogs :)

Me?

Hello, I'm from Indonesia :)
Indonesia is a country in South East Asia, we're rich of culture and nature. We was once known as Asian Tiger. Bali is one of Indonesian Archipelago, known as "the island of gods". I'm pretty sure you might know Bali, but some people think Bali is a country... I'm not kidding hahaha...

Currently, I'm a freelance illustrator and educator of Satya Wacana Christian University (SWCU), Faculty of Information Technology, Department of Visual Communication Design. SWCU is in Salatiga, Middle Java, Indonesia. A map might help you out because even Indonesian people were missing this calm and cool city.

I'm teaching Illustration class and Advertising class :)
Just for information, currently I'm 27 years old *ugh!* In here, people thought that a university educators usually old man or old woman, it's stereotype thinking... When people asking my job, they're gonna like "But you're so young!!" even in my 27 yo, it's sound ridiculous when I start this job at 2008 I was 22 yo that time.

Anyway I'm into art :)
Maybe I'm going to talk a lot about it, but I don't really plan things to write in this blog. . . I really have a lot in my mind, sometime it's getting blank. . . (0_o)

Well, sorry for my bad English, I hope to getting better, and see you soon (｡◕‿◕｡)
