All About Eyes and Shadows

Hello :)

Do you wears make up everyday? What is your make up item which is a must have?

I'm not a beauty guru or make up guru, but I do aware that Asian make up was focusing a lot more on eyes. Maybe to make it bigger or rounder, or maybe something else. Back then in my college days, a black eye liner is always in my make up bag, I usually don't wear any eye shadows or blusher :p.

Well, we're improving being right? Always black is monochrome, dark, and gloomy. If you have panda eyes like me then black eye shadows complete us to be a real panda! So I look around to be more colorful person hehehe....

After I looked around Youtube for make up tutorials (I was had a phase, you know it when you're really addicted watching it but can't apply it). Most of really good make up artist are having similar hand gestures such as painter, how they applying colors and making great gradations... They made the eyes look beautiful not blotchy...

So, like other rookies, especially if you're also stingy about something that you don't understand yet like me (I hope you don't though). I bought just around standard price make up kit, I've never wear false/fake make up even rookies should know how dangerous it is if you have some complexion it's mean trouble.... But make up kit made in Indonesia always shimmery and glossy, both eye shadows and lipstick, even there's also a shimmery loose powder. What am I gonna be? A Christmas Tree? :(

I had bought NYX Bohemian Chic Color palette eye shadows as a trial to use an expensive make up item. Don't be surprise, $ vs IDR is gruesome for your wallet if you're Indonesian.... NYX is consider as drugstore make up in US or other country maybe, if you say drugstore I thought a cheap make up but still have good quality. A branded eyelash curler price about a dollar? You'll never see it here in Indonesia... If you're using US$, you can buy tons of drugstore branded make up with just 100$ that will last at least 2 years... *make up items that usually available at local drugstore : Silky Girl, Viva, and Maybelline.

It has really pretty matte color, not too shimmery, and added two colors of blushers. I believe more experienced people gonna make pretty nude color eye make up or smokey eye make up with this palette :)

I thought it was a dupe for Naked Palette, because it has nude colors too, but most of it are matte colors, but maybe I'm very wrong. Naked palette is really popular among YT beauty guru, but for me it's really pricey,  and I'm not gonna buy an eye shadows palette which cost half of my allowance (-____-) When Naked Palette 2 is really booming, and I have to have it when I finished gathering money (I'm a gatherer hahahaha!!! JK) Suddenly they launch Naked Palette 3! WTH...

  

This is also famous but, not as I heard about NAKED 2

 

This one I really like :)

and then BOOM!!!

 Aren't you confuse? Or maybe it's just me (an amateur like me don't understand)

UD just compiled NAKED 1 and NAKED 2 to become NAKED 3??? The colors are mixed up together (@_@) Sorry, no offense, I've never wear these palettes so if you have them, you're very lucky girl!

It's seems hopeless now to gathering, I give up to become a gatherer.... *nyaahh... just kidding...*

But I just order 1 pretty palette from Etude House, Play Color Palette 1 :) They have two types as you can see below :

Preeeetyyy.... I don't know this palette more attractive to me, and suddenly I just ordered it for IDR 295k (convert in Korea approx. 26000 Won, and convert in US$ approx. 25$). It's around 22000 Won in Korea, and it's limited edition.

I'm just thinking what I'm gonna do with that beautiful red there.... one reviewers said she love the no. 2 palette (without vivid red), because you can applied it daily, but from my point of view palette 2 is common... no offense... Is it a dupe for NAKED? No it's obviously not, it doesn't have a lot of colors and most of it shimmery and glittery.

(-_____-) So why do I ended up ordered shimmery and glittery eye shadows??? (which I don't like actually)
Meh... I watched @from head to toe Korean Style make up tutorial, and I think shimmery and glittery is not that bad, it depends on how you apply the eye make up. It's really simple tutorial actually. But I suggest you try to watch her tutorial and NAKED 1, 2, 3 reviews and comparison :p

See you and da~dah

Call Me Mrs!! ;p (pt.2)

Hi! I'll continue from pt.1 Call Me Mrs!! :D *ROFL... (actually I don't really used to it already...)

So... I said before that I didn't lost an inch or a cm bit from my arms, and I was promised to my self to lost weight before prewedding, I FAILED TO LOST WEIGHT *gyahahaha.... I was GAINED WEIGHT XD

And at that moment I didn't realize it until I went to my bridal to fit my dress for 3rd time, my wedding dress was not fitted at all!!! They can't buttoning because there was a gap about 3 cm *I was about to cry!!! It was fitted on me perfectly before, and then...* What's scares me at that moment was, it's only 2 weeks before the W-day!!

I weighed after that and ta-da.... 59 kg lalala... lalala... lalala.. approx. 130 lbs!!!! gyahahha...... *Can you feel how depressed I am at that time??

I went to this beauty clinic and body slimming care just to lost at least an inch of my arms, and probably losing weight. The doctor recommended me to use RF treatment, it's very easy, not hurting and middle cost, and I went there 4 times to have my arms treated, and I lost about 2 cm of my arms in 2 weeks. Do I lost some weight? Yes I am!!

So this is my diet routine for my wedding day in 2 weeks :
Drink a lot of water! I almost drink 2 ltrs a day, I don't drink any soft drinks
Eat in small portions but always have carbohydrate, in my case white rice, at least 5 tablespoons.
I don't picky about side dishes, I can get anything that I want but I prefer not to eat a lot fried food or meat
Don't eat snacks!!! I'm not eating any candies, chocolate, chips, or anything. Just drink water if I want to snacks.
Don't eat after 6 PM!! Eat fruits!! I'm substituted dinner with fruits, or I had dinner before 6 PM.
Do I get exercise? Err... Actually I just doing daily activity so... No... It will better to have it though...

THE Result!!! TA-DA!! 53 kg lalala... lalala.. lalala... approx. 116 lbs *Oh So Happy!!!* I went to fitting the dress again, but it got oversize hahaha... they had to shrunk it a bit. But it's okay, the dress is beautiful on me now ;p *that's what I thought

At my wedding day, I must woke up at 02.30 AM and go to my bridal for make up *yes, 02.30 AM* Usually I can't wake up because I haven't sleep!!

Jeffrey was my make up artist, his doing great job, he's also owning the bridal. He said my skin was good, the make up product was easily applied. So I thought wow, it's the miracle of ETUDE Moistfull Collagen Cream, I'm using it until now and I going to buy again :)

The hair... They want to make it to look like 1920's style, but my hair to is too soft and thin (even though it's a lot) so they have to changed style. If I've got that looks (1920s) it might be get into the theme I want to, but sadly, yea... okay....

Everything perfect so  I guessed this is it, this is my wedding day, it's gonna be okay! hahaha....

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….~

ETUDE Milk Talk and Free Samples!!

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

ETUDE MILK TALK

I’m opening order for Indonesia only; please message me on amelia.rukmasari@gmail.com or Twitter DM: @AmeliaHoo. I’m sorry haven’t open up order outside Indonesia.

Note: I sell fashion bags too; they’re imported from Hong Kong/PROC. Also exclusive open order custom made original/synthetic leather bag email me for details 

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. The banana is look like yellow apple but there’s a banana attached on it, same for chocolate. Milk Talk Milk get this ball of sponge with cow pattern in baby blue and white color.

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)

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!
