Still in the land of 'Murica, this was the destination I had a privilege to visit during Summer 2015. Btw, I had this blogpost postponed for only God knows how long! So hopefully I could still picture you guys the story of this trip to the tiny details. Then again, I barely remember anything. So where do I start? Probably I should've explained how did I end up on the West Coast. There was a time I dreamed about traveling to all the 50 states, but now I honestly don't mind if the bucket list remains unchecked. Because, life happens that way. These days, I just want to count my blessings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As I was saying, my 23-year-old self wished to visit the other side of the US. With my sister living in New York City, I felt like I've had enough of the East Coast. HA. To pursue my lifetime dream, of course, I thought I should start off somewhere popular. I think it was a 14-day tour from Jakarta to LA, where everyone began the bus trip to Las Vegas, SF, and headed back to LA again. So this one trip was actually a part of the entire West Coast tour that wrapped in less than two weeks. Yes, you're reading it right since each flight took around 24 hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Two different rims on the package were offered to us, although we eventually picked the west rim because it was the closest to Vegas and ahem, cheaper. I didn't care much about the view, it all looked the same to my eyes. Furthermore, I wanted to walk on the Skywalk where there was nothing much but, canyon. For some safety reasons, no one was allowed to take any pictures on the location, we had to put our gadget inside the locker. Numbers of photographers who sold your photos as souvenirs could be easily spotted, though. If anything was memorable about the trip, it had to be the intense Summer heat! Gosh! I'd never seen myself so tanned before. Oh and, the gift shop deserved its own highlight too. Thanks to the AC, I could just chill out and felt alive again. On another note, my mom and I purchased a variety of mineral rocks and we were so happy to bring them home as keepsakes!</div>

Are you on a tight budget, yet wanting to transform your home with a little makeover? You don’t have to forego decorating a room or upgrading some spaces in the home. With the right tools, using the right approach, and planning ahead, you can achieve the desired look or finish, without breaking the bank. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Try DIY jobs</u></b><br />
Paint the home yourself. Build little tables, shelving, or other small items that are easy to put together. If you want to refinish or stain cabinets, try to do these jobs yourself. In addition to costing virtually nothing apart from materials, you can give the home the personal touches and nuances throughout, which a contractor won’t achieve. But on the other hand, I would not recommend doing certain jobs yourself as some things can be dangerous or will need to be certified by a professional, <a href="http://www.yourjobcost.co.uk/replace-fuse-box-cost/" rel="”dofollow">replacing a fuse box</a>, for example. This is a job you should not undertake yourself.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Consider alternatives</u></b><br />
Look for plank-flooring, choose a cheaper wood-grain, or go with linoleum finishes. The same goes with paints and backsplash for the kitchen. There are alternatives which look (almost as good as the original), and they often cost ½, if not less, than what you’d pay for the “real thing”. Shop around to see the great deals. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Keep it simple</u></b><br />
Sometimes switching out a few knobs, painting or finishing the cabinets, or doing something small like installing a new ceiling fan, will make a world of difference. Look for smaller, cheaper projects you can do, which will have a great impact in the overall design, when you are re-modelling on a budget. These smaller jobs also take much less time for you to complete, so you are not going to spend weeks, or even months, like some of the larger re-modelling projects are going to take to complete in the home. <br />
<br />
Just because you do not have much to spend doesn’t mean you can’t design a home you are proud of and love to be in. These are some simple ways homeowners can go about redecorating, not overspending, and achieving the finishes they desire, when trying to save on the cost of redecorating the home.</div>

I'm blessed enough to have visited many places across the globe at such young age. Ever since I graduated from high school, it's been a tradition in my family that we should make our time to travel. Each year in my life was unforgettable as another bucket list was ticked off, yet it's very rarely of me to show this other side of my life. Some of my friend even wondered why I didn't post pictures while traveling. Frankly speaking, I learned from my younger self when I first traveled abroad. I was too busy picking tons of pictures and ended up missing several moments that obviously couldn't be repeated in reality. It's such a sad remembrance when you passed the opportunity to witness bigger things through your own lens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, lately as I visit more destinations, I start to think about the what-ifs of forgetting the detail on each journey. And being a writer myself now, I know for certain that one of the best ways to remember is by keeping a journal. Realizing I couldn't have everything etched on my memory, herewith I'm assured I can share a travel journal that highlights some memorable experience that my parents have granted to me. On this first post, I'd like to dedicate it to a resort city in Tennessee that I visited last year. I went on tour to the Southern USA in search of the joys of spring. For that March 2016, the weather in New York wasn't really accommodating due to blizzards and rains.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Downtown Gatlinburg pretty much reminds me of Downtown Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. Probably because of its quirky attraction that can be found along the road. This tourism destination is situated on the border of the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. To me, it was indeed a nice place for a walk. I remembered how breezy the day was regardless the striking sunshine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Upon arrival, I took an Ober Aerial Tramway in which, I was shown the panoramic view of the Smokies. The cable car goes directly to the mountaintop where the amusement park, ice rink and ski area are located. I wasn't amused with the ride-up, so I decided to leave earlier since there's nothing much to enjoy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For lunch, I browsed around the area near the cable car station and was easily lured the moment I saw a watermill in front of a steak house named Calhoun's. Didn't have a single idea of what to order, I got attracted by their featured menu of the day; wild salmon. The service was fast and hospitable, but their delicacy was an ok, it didn't make any remark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Speaking of delicacy, if I could highly recommend anything for you when visiting Gatlinburg, it must be their donut and fudge. The Donut Friar offers variety of handmade donuts that is freshly crafted daily. Just make sure you enter The Village complex to find this little gem inside. Another thing that made quite a remark was Kilwins' fudge. Not sure which flavor you fancy? Worry not, the workers will let you sample! The greeting was all friendly that the guy didn't hesitate to suggest the other delectable flavors to me. <i>(I am just that confused when it comes to picking just ONE flavor, for God's sake!) </i>In the end, I ordered a double dark chocolate one and it was so savory.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This year, I almost booked a tour to revisit this place, but a sudden change of plan headed me to a sunnier destination. <i>(You can look forward to the travel journal!)</i> All in all, I wouldn't even complain if I had to revisit this town. It'll be a pleasant journey knowing how beautiful this place is and I'm eager to explore Tennessee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My next travel journal will be covering my trip to one of the *literally* HOTTEST touristy places I've ever been. Just the thought of it made me cringe again as I got extremely tanned after.<i> </i>Can you guess? Leave me a comment!</div>

If year 2014 until mid-2016 was all about lenses with thick limbal rings, by the end of 2016, I discovered a new style of lenses that its design could transform my look. <i>*HINT: they got the most striking design I've ever seen.*</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A little background story before I start the review. In the beginning, I thought this kind of hydrocor lenses would look very unnatural since they are designed with a very low opacity. However, I was wroooong! You will totally look different, but in a great way. It might took a while to finally get used with such lenses, just like how you get yourself (and people around you) used to see those thick limbal ring lenses when you aim for a dolly look. Hydrocor liven up your eye color, especially for people with dark brown eyes like me. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

My very first hydrocor lenses were all gray colored as I was too afraid to try the other options out there. Mainly because I wasn't sure if such light brown colored lenses would suit my skin tone too. The dilemma came to an end the time I eventually gave a shot and purchased hydrocor in brown. The result was unsatisfying, I didn't look as graceful as I did when I wore the gray ones since the rest of the brown colored ring exceeded the white part of my eye. Lesson learned.</div>

So when I saw <a href="http://lensvillage.com/" target="_blank">Lens Village</a> asked their ambassadors to review their newcomer line, which is <b>Molicon Signature</b>, I didn't hesitate at all and fell in love instantly with the golden one!</div>

The lens itself is designed in tons of distinct dots, and the color of those dots fall somewhere in between green and brown. It's also been said that the result will vary depending on the real eye color of each person. You might be surprised at how radiant the colors are on your eyes, yet they nevertheless look natural. This pair of lenses also feels comfortable for daily usage. Well, it's not like I have zero problem wearing them indoor. There were some days when my eyes needed extra care, but as long as I'm able to rewet them with a lens drop, I'd be fine.<br />

Pardon me for thinking too far ahead but I love catching up with my own reverie, just like how I often imagine how my future house would be. I wish to have a house with contemporary Scandinavian interior design, the kind of house that uses earthy muted tones of furniture, features large windows that let the natural light to pour in, also white walls so it reflects the light and makes the interiors brighter. I could use some metal pendant lights here and there too as it will come in handy, functionally and aesthetically. Moreover, I would like to own a spacious backyard where my future kids could freely play and get along with the nature, while I'd get myself indulged in afternoon tea.<br />

I had so much fun browsing through <b>Anthropologie</b>! These findings are quite gem since I was surprised to learn that they apparently offer a wide range of stunning home accessories.

I was initially planning to post a gift guide as a #BLOGMAS series, but during that time of the year everything got so hectic and eventually the series ended in two consecutive posts. I'm no good at making a commitment, thus explained why I've never posted a roundup of my monthly favorites. Nothing much I can say besides more excuses, so let's just look forward to reading another gift guide every once in a while just like my occasional <a href="https://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/search/label/styling%20101" target="_blank">Styling 101</a> or <a href="https://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/search/label/wish%20list" target="_blank">Wish List</a> post, alright?<br />

This gift guide is actually made according to my preference as a frequent traveler who happens to love pink. Hahaha.. Well, I think these are my essentials when it comes to traveling. Because who can seriously leave out music, a clutch for storing your makeup and portable charger, hair straightener or curler (only real girls NEED this), a pair of comfy not to mention good-looking shoes, and mini perfumes that can be brought along your trip on the plane? Just imagine your friend can fit this important stuff inside their stylish luggage and cap it off with a cute tag. Aren't they all set now?</div>

I've heard lots of positive reviews on <b>TheBalm</b>'s products, from their well-known blusher, bronzer, and highlighter kits to lip products. Long story short, I finally gave in and searched all over the Internet to find a trustworthy online reseller. Btw, we have<b> </b>the offline store in Jakarta, also Sephora<b> </b>Indonesia sells it online, but the price is outrageously more expensive, so bye. I was scared too that I'd get fake products (you know how tricky online shopping is), thus I devoted more time to investigate until I found an article that helped me to distinguish between the real and fake products. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Whereas, <b>Rollover Reaction</b> is a local brand that's been selling out really well. Despite the heavy demand, I managed to land their products. My shopping experience was easy-peasy, the shipping was fast as it only took a day, and the package came in a very adorable pink box. Now... Let me reveal the initial local lip product that I wanted so badly. It was called<b> </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Lip Coat </i>that was created by a renowned Indonesian beauty blogger, Lizzie Parra. But... All of the shades that I've been eyeing sold like hotcakes. Reseller price is so much higher, ugh these opportunists, it's utterly disgusting how they make extra money! I'm not going to spend a single cent on their business. End of story.</div>

I think both shades flatter my skin tones differently. However particularly, I've received quite compliments every time I wear Moss. Performance wise, I kind of dislike <b>Rollover Reaction</b>'s wand and patchy texture as I couldn't do my entire lips in just one pass. It might be because their formula isn't as lightweight as <b>TheBalm</b>, thus making the application a little hard to control. <span style="text-align: right;">For <b>Rollover Reaction</b>, the finish falls somewhere between matte and creamy, while <b>TheBalm</b> dries down matte within seconds. Longevity wise, I couldn't be more content they last longer than my expectation. Even after my lunch, these lip colors are still pigmented! Now to the scent of it; b</span><span style="text-align: right;">oth of these product have the similar sweet kind of smell. I think a mint chocolate ice cream really represents <b>TheBalm</b>'s scent, whereas <b>Rollover Reaction </b>smells like a vanilla cupcake. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, as much as I wanted to shop just one more lip color, I've been so happy with these lippies and convinced myself that I'd NOT need another one throughout the season.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's past midnight here and there goes a moment of reflection that's meant for a nice write-up about life lately. This year, well not exactly as in January until now, nevertheless the length of time, I've learned so many things about love ever since.</div>
</div>
<br />
I've learned that in order to love myself, I must behave in certain ways that I admire which means I should change for the sake of my own self, not for someone else out there. I should focus on loving myself, instead of loving the idea of other people loving me. Furthermore, the fact that someone else loves me doesn't rescue me from the project of loving myself.<br />
<br />
I've learned to discover the reason of my existence and I've refused to settle for anyone who doesn't completely agree with it. I've learned that it's okay to follow my heart, but I should take my brain along the journey. They said we accept the love we think we deserve. I couldn't agree more with it. Rather than dating someone who treats me with less respect, kindness or empathy, I'd be happier single.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've learned that it takes more than effort, patience, trust, communication, and appreciation to stay in love. Yet the hard truth: you'll never know what does it take to fall in love. I mean, there's simply no explanation. Ain't you just fall? It doesn't make sense.<br />
<br />
I've learned to never demand anyone a closure because, I too, acknowledge they have the rights to remain silent. But I've learned to let go the people who don't give me closure. I deserve someone who will express their feeling with all honesty. After all, why would I commit myself to a person who doesn't respect me?<br />
<br />
This past year has taught me to figure out the qualities I should be looking for in a man. Finally, I've learned that love isn't overrated, it's just the society who often gets it twisted.</div>

As soon as I knew <b>Stylenanda</b> was finally on Zalora's <a href="https://www.zalora.co.id/women/pakaian/k-fashion/" target="_blank">K-fashion brands</a> section, I just couldn't contain my excitement and I felt like I had to share it right away! I mean it's hard to find such stylish yet comfortable clothing these days. Understated is the word that comes to my mind whenever I peek through <b>Stylenanda</b>'s lookbook. I love how they carefully choose the pairing which makes all of their models look so effortlessly polished. Well, I think these picks aren't just another wish list, it's more like an inspiration for those who love Korean street fashion.<br />

If you want to wear a shorter skirt, balance it out with a loose sweatshirt that can keep your body warm and match it with autumnal shades, like burgundy and navy. This first outfit will work perfectly well together for those days when you’re just as indecisive as the weather, whereas the second one would be perfect for those days when you want to feel much cozier in oversized sweater. Honestly though, oversized statement sweaters are tricky to pull off in transitional weather, because it may look awkward to wear a sweater when the time hasn't even arrived yet. As a consequence, you've got to make it work with airy bottoms in feathery material. Such rose pink skirt as opposed to black would make it work seamlessly. The last outfit really got me fall in love the second I laid my eyes on it! The figure-flattering dress showcases such a feminine flair yet the choice of fabric evokes a cozy and playful mood. I also think it's smart how they pair the loafers with mid calf socks for a little added warmth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's no secret I have a lot of oversized clothes in my closet as my personal style is all about being relaxed. Another similar character from all of these pieces aside from its oversized feature is the cool tones that are super versatile to be mixed and matched during this stage of transitioning into cooler weather. Don't you think so, bumblebees? Let me know your tricks too! How do you transition your closet for Fall? </div>

This is going to be one lengthy post as I will review not only one, but two latest products from<b> 3 Concept Eyes</b> as known as <b>3CE</b>, a sub-brand by <b>Stylenanda </b>primarily focused on beauty. Luckily, I discovered this <a href="http://bbcosmetic.com/" target="_blank">Korean cosmetics wholesaler</a> who enables me to try out these particular <b>3CE</b> products 'cause you know, they're not available locally in Jakarta.</div>

Although <b>3CE</b> is well-known for its sophisticated kinda design, this time they really prove their breakthrough in Korean market with their cutesy whitening products. Called as <i><b>White Milk</b></i>, their first skincare range focuses on skin whitening as if people are madly craving for a brighter skin. True that I'm one of those people who ain't satisfied with my uneven skin tone, and that's why I opt for a whitening product haha.. I have always had issues with my dull complexion, but I tried to be realistic that it takes effort and time as typical whitening products promise nothing instant. Hmm.. Unless their <a href="http://bbcosmetic.com/3ce-stylenanda-3concept-eyes-face-bright-white-milk-cream-made-in-korea/" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">White Milk Cream</a><i style="font-weight: bold;">, </i>that one's supposed to be called a magic cream!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>3CE <i>White Milk Pack To Foam</i></u></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Description</u>: The milk and clay ingredients lift away the impurities deep inside the pores and keep your skin looking clean and clear. The product contains 10,000ppm milk protein and extraction that can remove excess sebum and the impurities deep inside the pores, promoting clean and clear looking skin. The moisture-retaining oatmeal and honey keep skin from drying out, while the tea tree extract helps soothe the skin.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Directions</u>: This white clay mask contains fine particles of bubbles and can be used as both a facial pack and a cleanser.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<u>Combat dead skin cells</u>: Spread an ample amount over face avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. The rich lather lifts away impurities deep inside the pores. Use once or twice a week.<br />
<u>Refreshing Daily Cleanser</u>: Apply to damp skin and massage in a gentle rolling motion. Work up a lather and rinse with lukewarm water.<br />
<u>Urgent Spot Treatment for the T-zone</u>: Apply an ample amount over the oily T-zone and rinse after 5 minutes. The soft and rich cream throughly cleans those hard-to-reach areas in the T-zone.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>My verdict</u>: Let me explain about the unique packaging <b>3CE</b> has come up with for this clay product. It feels like a toothpaste tube, but thinner. Supposedly, you'll be able to squeeze out until the last product. No more wasted product, plus hygienic! Also, the screw cap is just what I need for a facial foam since you're gonna put it in the shower and water usually just finds its own way to sneak into the cap, am I right? The consistency is creamy, it glides very easily, interestingly lathers up to foamy bubbles, and I can feel how hydrated my skin is afterwards. Though the texture is not as solid as clay, it hardens within minutes when it's applied to dry face. The rinsing process was effortless too, I'd just wash it off with water and wipe everything up. Overall, the after effect of using this as a facial foam or mask is almost the same. Therefore, considering this facial pack as a mask is such a fun regime while showering in the bathroom. Not to mention, it smells like powdered milk, which is a plus point!<br />
<u><b><br />
</b></u> <u><b>3CE <i>White Milk Sleeping Mask</i></b></u><br />
<u><br />
</u> <u>Description</u>: Non-sticky, creamy sleeping mask contains 50% of milk protein extract that moisturizes the skin and brightens complexion overnight. Tea tree extract treats blemishes and evens out overall skin tone while oatmeal and honey protects & strengthen skin's barrier.<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u>: Use in the evening. After cleansing and toning, apply adequate amount evenly over face avoiding lip and eye area. Sleep through the night with the mask on, gently wash off with lukewarm water in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><br />
</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>My verdict</u>: Though the weight and shape of the product is exactly the same with the facial foam, it doesn't come in aluminum tube but plastic. However, the scent of this product is somewhat similar to the facial foam, a powdered milk kind of, but more artificial. I use it at the last step of my nighttime skincare routine, every three-day period. The thick cream consistency remains sticky on the skin, especially oily on the T-zone. While it claims to brighten complexion overnight, I could barely notice any skin tone improvement the morning I woke up, seriously. Other than my face being extra moisturized and supple, I don't think it shows a significant result. But I'm happy that this hydrating sleeping mask doesn't break me out! It's hard to find one, you know. I guess that's due to the tea tree formula, yet amazingly, there is no a hint of herbal scent at all.<br />

Woohoo! I'm beyond thrilled to present you a new look on my blog! Over the past few years, I've always wanted to revamp this blog because the previous template looked too dull no matter how much I tried to customize it. The decision of doing a total blog makeover was never easy. Not until recently, when I was in the middle of nothingness and suddenly had this random thought, "Why don't I purchase a pre-made template and give it a shot?" So I spent hours and hours browsing around Etsy, projecting if those particular themes would fit Oh Dear Bumblebees' image. Just so you know, before the idea of purchasing a template came up, I already browsed the freebies but not a single one I stumbled upon could impress me. I'm an extremely picky person when it comes to design because I know exactly what I want, and finding "the one" while staying within budget was challenging, indeed. Hope you enjoy scrolling down the page as much as I do!<br />

Hey, dear bumblebees! I'm so excited with some addition to my skincare as well as my makeup routine lately. I just can't wait to share, so stay tuned until I'm done trying them out! Two weeks ago, I received a package from <a href="http://bbcosmetic.com/">bbcosmetic.com</a> and was surprised when I found out they sent me this product for a review because I myself have never thought of using <b>The Face Shop</b> cushion before. To be honest though, my main motivation before purchasing a cushion is based on this particular factor; they must have a cute packaging. That's it. So now you know why. Haha! What a childish reasoning, but oh well... </div>

Well the end of summer is drawing near, but there is no such rules in changing the makeup game here. Jakarta has always been hot throughout the year and I feel like this cushion was given to me with thoughtful consideration. <b>The Face Shop</b> actually provides four different types of cushion makeup, in which the other three of them are intended for people with drier skin. I can say that I am glad <a href="http://bbcosmetic.com/">bbcosmetic.com</a> sent me this one instead of those other cushions.</div>

Packaging wise, the case looks quite sturdy though it can get easily scratched. This actually happened several times, and I was sure there was no sharp object inside my makeup pouch, yet I found some scratches on the compact. Does this weird phenomena occur to you as well?<br />
<br />
Moving on to the puff... Let me sigh for a moment as I want to question this. There are so many colors available in this whole universe, yes? So why does <b>The Face Shop</b> choose beige as their puff's surface color? I can never be sure how much foundation I pick up on this beige colored puff. But yes, it feels denser than any other cushion puff I've ever tried!<br />
<br />
Although the finish is more matte than dewy, their shine-free promise might be a little too much 'cause I still need to blot my oily T-zone at midday. Durability is okay for me, however it does a great job at evening out skin tone and fading blemishes. The only issue is, the high SPF in this foundation leaves white cast on my skin, which is a no-go for a night occasion. Please note that the white residue looks noticeable too in daylight. Just make sure to turn off the flash if you're having your photo taken ;)<br />

The first time I encountered pleats was back in 2014 when I was modelling for a local brand's collection. Though my first impression of the fabric wasn't all that enjoyable due to the humid weather in Jakarta, I had a glimpse idea of how appealing and cosy it would be to wear pleats in cooler temperature.<br />

You know you just couldn't skip <b>Issey Miyake</b> when taking pleats into account, could you? And I've been adoring shades of blue lately. I mean, these shades make color mixing seems so easy, not to mention they complement my skin tone. Here's a proof: see my <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2016/07/lily-of-valley.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>'s selfie. In addition, the lace-up trend appears to dominate the entire season. I've noticed it doesn't only look surprisingly hip on clothes, but also on shoes and sandals.<br />

As someone who has a soft spot for exquisite packaging, this debut fragrance from <b>Miu Miu</b> had me at the first sight. I hadn't smelled the perfume, yet I fell in love instantly.

<u>Description</u>: An elegant, sensual floral—lily of the valley—composed of real jasmine, real rose absolute, and synthetic green notes. The soft, fresh, ingénue scent is set against a deep earth-toned background: the wood and pepper of akigalawood, an extract of patchouli. The akigalawood adds a rich, brooding mystery to the subtle sparkle of the floral. The surprising combination feels natural and timeless—flower and earth—but the effect created by the multifaceted process is utterly contemporary. </div>

The packaging, of course, too dainty to be true. I appreciate the beauty of ornamental fragrance bottles, simply because they could sublimely style the top of my vanity as well as any of Instagram #flatlays shots, don't you think so?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I adore the fancy scent of pure floral and warm woody tones, it's been my signature scent if anybody has noticed. Thanks to the jasmine and rose influence, this perfume smells so refreshing as if it is tailored to the summer season. And, is it only me? But I sense these subtly woody notes are tantalizing, creating such a seductive allurement which is delicately enrapturing. Last but not least, performance wise, it delivers a long-lasting floral hit onto the skin. </div>

On a side note, I got this new pair of circle lenses from <a href="http://lensvillage.com/" target="_blank">Lens Village</a>, a Malaysia-based K-lens distributor that carries more than 600 choices of circle lenses and ships worldwide. As someone who always plays on the safe side when it comes to appearance, I picked the brown ones but apparently the diameter of these lenses are way too big for my eyes, 0.5mm larger than my usual. It was my mistake to fail checking the details, I ended up looking too dolly and unnatural. Comfort wise, I don't like how they aren't stuck properly on the middle of my eyes sometimes. Sounds weird I know, perhaps it's caused by the huge diameter. Moreover, I don't think they come in the same exact color as their advertisement. On the display, obviously the brown shade somewhat appears to be bronze, whereas in real life it looks closer to chocolate brown.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>you have to find the courage to live it.”</i></span></div>
<br />
Being a grownup has taught me to manage my time wisely and share only a tiny bit of my life to the society. Perhaps that principle of mine is the main reason you didn't see this blog as active as it used to be? Told ya to expect this kind of random stuff from me, so here I am unusually typing a blogpost about how my life has been these past months. Hope you excuse my awkward blabber since I've never done this before :/<br />
<br />
Life lately has been a hectic amalgam of work, study, passion, family, and friends in which I can hardly believe I'm spending the wee hours writing this journal instead of having a better sleep. Nevertheless, there is something exhilarating about this deep late-night conversation (Yes. I'm requesting some feedback). So, let's cut to the chase, shall we?<br />
<br />
I call it nonsense for someone who is in their twenties for not experiencing the <a href="https://www.google.co.id/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwic19f1pZvNAhUKNI8KHS_pDGMQFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FQuarter-life_crisis&usg=AFQjCNFQfhqCs6LsHyqfPa8-61n61pTVdQ&sig2=Rmxc3TUTuJoo4wW4GN3SFw&bvm=bv.124088155,d.c2I" target="_blank">quarter-life crisis</a>. To be perfectly frank, two months ago I was so clueless with my life, I quitted a job I despised, I didn't pass a job interview that I was always curious what it'd feel like to work there, I traveled places yet I didn't know what I was going to face once I got back to my hometown. However in the end, I had no regrets because I tried my best, I took the chance to break out of my comfort zone. In this case, it's my ex-workplace, I called it a comfort zone because there was no room for adventure and excitement. I felt neither challenged nor appreciated. What's more, I took the chance to at least get interviewed until the final round and realize that the job wasn't for me in the first place, and as a reward, I received something more valuable; a thrilling experience I would always be grateful for.<br />

Right now, I'm pursuing my career and dream at the same time. IKR?! I don't know how I got so lucky! My entire weekdays would be full of work, I often come back late at night because of several different reasons, could be attending events, working out at the gym, or merely catching up with my friends. I say it's seriously difficult to keep your social life balance, meanwhile I'm the kind of person who wants to have my own quality time at least once a week.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, I'm taking a TOEFL course at this tuition center for the sake of my academic goal, and right after finishing the course, I'd be meeting up with my friends or working out at the gym. Dang. Why do I sound like a gym-holic now?<br />
<br />
Finally moving on to Sunday... Yeah, I'd rather spend the whole day for myself or my family. Because, duh? I don't want to drive all day everyday. HA. Jakarta's traffic has gotten worse, you know... And I want to have this day as my own day for pampering myself, being productive making a new blogpost OR not productive at all!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Being surrounded by positive energy of the dreamers and the doers has changed my perspective towards life. I especially love those who have creative minds with amazing commitments to their dreams.<br />
<br />
More importantly, I'm beyond blessed to have such supportive family and friends. Once someone told me to go chase my dream, I bluntly declined the idea because I was skeptical my kind of dream job could pay me enough bucks. Now that I finally got the job, I can admit how foolish I was that time for being ignorant, rejecting without even trying.<br />
<br />
I know some people who are still figuring out what they truly aspire in their life. It might take a while for you to acknowledge your enthusiasm, so here's <a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/7-ways-find-out-what-you-really-want-life.html" target="_blank">a relevant life hack</a> that might be helpful. Sometimes, it's in the darkest period of life you'll see the spark, one-of-a-kind spark that I describe as unusually bright and somehow keeps me in the right direction to always look forward. When you see the spark, you'll say something like "I got this" with a bunch of motivation. That's when I was very convinced with my goal in life.<br />
<br />
Hence you've got to be brave enough to ask yourself: "Risk or regret?" The future is bound to be uncertain, but how do you know your full potential if you aren't stubborn about your own goal?<br />
<br />
And if one day I start feeling stressed, I'll spend a few minutes looking through this post as a proof to remind myself what really matters.<br />

Having two of my best friends getting married next year, not to mention my employment in a wedding industry, have induced me to explore loads of bridal references nowadays. Personally, my way to find inspiration is by browsing around catalogues where I can find something from gifts, accessories to decoration. But you know, girls will always be girls, we get lured quite easily. In spite of my primary intention, I tend to end up buying things that don't belong in my priority list. Who's to blame anyway when shopping is just one click away?<br />
<br />
Obviously, shopping online is unavoidable in this modern world due to its ease to access, but let's see in a bigger picture, isn't it a positive development? Catalogue shopping provides you with a cost-effective alternative to conventional stores on the high street. But if you want to make more savings, read these three tips on how to save money whilst shopping through online catalogues.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdnwJDa8EteSBCGgE-pkpvoZx9GnqXfpJb6cI9CsKaNGJF5wg8Ctoy9Gx2aiA2HGtfvphrALDUlgukdtjP1WbNgE6x56LeycXgYSzEw2bSpx148tHzf4RSEVpEplzvQ-vSAgRTfsWuA0E/s1600/Screenshot+2016-06-08+22.30.36_zpsbzur5pv9.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="345" data-original-width="1024" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdnwJDa8EteSBCGgE-pkpvoZx9GnqXfpJb6cI9CsKaNGJF5wg8Ctoy9Gx2aiA2HGtfvphrALDUlgukdtjP1WbNgE6x56LeycXgYSzEw2bSpx148tHzf4RSEVpEplzvQ-vSAgRTfsWuA0E/s640/Screenshot+2016-06-08+22.30.36_zpsbzur5pv9.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Discover low-interest rates</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How much interest you pay on your purchases can vary from one retailer to the next. To save money, shop around for catalogues that offer low-interest rates, something that could bag you a significant saving in the long run. Some companies won't charge you any interest at all if you pay off your balance within a certain a time frame. For example, <b>Very</b> enables customers to pay for a purchase in three monthly instalments and won't charge interest if the balance is settled during this period. Other companies, like <b>Argos</b>, also won't charge you interest if you pay your balance in time. Many places offer <a href="http://www.approvedcatalogues.co.uk/" target="_blank">catalogue finance</a>, but choosing the right company is just as important as choosing the dress or pair of shoes you are looking for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><i><b>Use a price comparison website</b></i></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One way to save money on catalogues is to use a price comparison website, where you can compare the prices of different products (everything from laptops to kettles, beds to clothes) in one place. The result? You find the retailer that is offering a product for the cheapest price. You can also head over to third party websites where you can read reviews left by customers who have used a catalogue company in the past, providing you with all the must-know details about a particular brand before you apply for a credit account.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>Use a voucher code</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More and more catalogue retailers offer voucher codes to customers. These promotions enable you to save money on the cost of a purchase or get reduced delivery just by entering a code when you check-out and pay for your items. Look for voucher codes that provide you with the biggest savings. Don't forget to sign up for mailing lists too! You can have the latest promotions and discount codes sent to your email address directly.<br />
<br />
Alrighty, then... I couldn't think of any other tips. So if you bumblebees have your own more efficient way to get the best deal online, let me know in the comments section below!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Greetings, bumblebees! So if you have noticed, a few months ago I changed this blog header in pursuit of rebranding my beauty journal, while in actual fact I just couldn't commit to a specific topic and even talked about something else aside from beauty. Therefore, I sort of wanted to remake a new header without binding myself into a particular niche blog. You may now expect a fashion, lifestyle report or perhaps random chats from me! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here we go again to beauty related post, this time it's about a not-so-new-anymore toner from <b>Etude House </b>called <i><b>Berry AHA! Bright Peel Boosting Serum</b></i>. Phew.. What an eye-catching name! I think this was released earlier this year along with their <b><i>Toning White C</i></b> line in which I have zero interest with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHLwZR8iLh48NxyP4Fxz9OIBMwrlnnzsVG64-UY-3n6smNpDc2yn2PTdhWHcxI-IezoslukmgOSmWomkzR_xah0sad8IE-MpOP41vCa8nTHh0W5_YF1lJ7dZZNNRwwA3R60ObFpoTg0E/s1600/SAM_5057_zps95823ksu+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="967" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHLwZR8iLh48NxyP4Fxz9OIBMwrlnnzsVG64-UY-3n6smNpDc2yn2PTdhWHcxI-IezoslukmgOSmWomkzR_xah0sad8IE-MpOP41vCa8nTHh0W5_YF1lJ7dZZNNRwwA3R60ObFpoTg0E/s640/SAM_5057_zps95823ksu+%25281%2529.JPG" width="604" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Etude House <i>Berry AHA! Bright Peel Boosting Serum.</i></span></b></div>
<br />
<u>Description</u>: The first-step peeling essence for skincare removes dead skin cells and impurity residue daily.<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u>: After washing the face, at the first step of skincare, dispense an appropriate amount on a cotton pad and apply on the face in the direction of skin texture, starting from the inside and working outward in a gentle blotting motion.<br />
<br />
My question was "is it toner, is it serum?" when I first saw this product (I didn't know their description in the beginning). Obviously it's called serum but it looks too watery from the outside, yes? We know that toner is the first step, meanwhile serum is supposed to be used at the last step of your skincare routine. Thanks to Google, uh I mean <b>Etude House</b> website (or should I say my meticulous research before purchasing every skincare item?), I bought the right product for my need.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've always had a thing with AHA ingredients simply because it's known to be great at rejuvenating. The only downside of wearing AHA is that your skin can get extra sensitive to sunlight, thus a sunscreen is a must (thought it's always a must all the time). This boosting serum has salicylic acid too in it! That seriously surprised me because I was presuming this line would only concern at peeling or brightening the skin.<br />
<br />
Packaging wise, it's kind of sleek despite its name. Moreover, considering it comes from <b>Etude House </b>who always gives such cutesy atmosphere to their product, I think this one maybe intended for more matured target market. Haha.. I might be wrong too. Anyway, I like how secured the seal (picture below), so <i>bravo</i> <b>Etude House</b> for the consideration. I still remember their <b><i>Wonder Pore</i></b> toner didn't include such seal to prevent leakage. However, the outlet of this bottle is too small for the product to come off. Because texture wise, it's not as watery as usual toner (now the name boosting serum makes sense). The liquid is thicker than water, it seems like it contains a teeny tiny jelly-like substance.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nice security seal you got over there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scent wise, it smells fruity with minty tinge. It doesn't only feel sweet but refreshing. I don't know how bilberry fruit's supposed to smell, but it definitely has the kind of smell that doesn't bother me at all. Performance wise, as a toner, I can say I was impressed for the immediate effect. It moisturizes my skin and on top of that, it gives me this silicone effect, you know? Yeah, they do use a synthetic skin conditioning agent and surfactant belonging to the chemical class of siloxanes and silicones. No wonder the instantly smooth skin. However, the good thing, it doesn't break me out.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I might finish it all since I totally enjoy the immediate result. Umm.. But you know me, when it comes to cosmetics, I always want to explore, try new things, and whatnot. That's why I'm here for you guys ;) To review more and more exciting products!</div>

If you want to decorate your home, but you don't want to break the bank, shopping with a catalogue gives you choice and flexibility over how you pay. Err.. I know I know.. Some people might prefer to visit a physical store when it comes to furniture, but considering the price might be higher and the quality is just the same. Let's check out some catalogues, shall we? My only tip when it comes to shopping furniture online is to read the reviews. If there is no review, then check the product details carefully. I hope some of these websites below can help you to refresh your home.<br />
<br />
<b>Home Essentials</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Home Essentials</b> is a <a href="http://www.shop2day.co.uk/" target="_blank">UK catalogue brand</a> that provides you with more bang for your buck. When you sign up for a new personal account, you can spread the cost of purchases you make and pay in affordable instalments. What's more, you can have your products delivered to your home address and make repayments online or over the phone.<br />

Have you ever gone shopping on the high street only to go home empty-handed? Perhaps the shop was too crowded or they didn't have clothes in the size you wanted. This was so me when I visited the Big Apple LOL. I "hate" crowds, or being stuck in the middle of a crowd, and the idea of browsing clothes in such condition can give me a bad shopping mood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you shop for fashion with a catalogue, you can choose from the latest big-name brands and well-known designers from the comfort of your own home, saving you the hassle, I guess.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Without further ado, here are the some of the <a href="http://yescatalogues.co.uk/" target="_blank">women's fashion catalogues</a> I've found:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Marisota</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

When I travel overseas, I need to stay on the budget. Around one year ago, I made this <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/02/korean-beauty-wish-list.html">Korean Beauty Wish List</a> before flying to Seoul, and seriously it was pretty effective. I got home with loads of beauty products that I loved, the wish list picture also made my shopping experience easier since all I had to do was showing the picture to the sales attendants and they would helped me finding the product.<br />
<br />
On the contrary, last Summer I visited LA without having any wish list on my hand, guess what? I ended up buying almost nothing I liked yet surprisingly I spent my whole pocket money. Hmm, it makes me wonder too what my purchases were besides those depilatory creams (always have to get them in the States because they're freaking expensive here). Ok.. I think I only liked my purchase on that <b>Stilla <i>Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color</i></b>. *deep sigh*<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: right; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
</div>
<br />
Now that I'm even on a tighter budget than last year, hopefully this wish list would help me not to buy things impulsively. However, if you have any recommendation on good products (or the new released ones), please let me know, maybe they can be my lifesaver ^^<br />

Time passes so quickly... Now that Spring season is coming, I seriously can't wait to have myself dressed in pastel colors and see all those flowers in full bloom. Speaking of pastels, I made my first guest post just a week ago at <a href="http://treatu.blogspot.co.id/2016/02/playing-with-soft-pastel-colors_25.html" target="_blank">Steph's blog</a>, check it out to see my stylebook to welcome Spring :D</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back to the true purpose of this blogpost. I'm about to review another cute thing from the K-beauty world. It's just recently released in South Korea, a product collaboration between <b>Missha</b> and <b>Line Friends</b>. I have to admit that Koreans are expert in creating cute design when it comes to cosmetics. In the end, they're successfully making all the K-beauty junkies difficult to refuse such impulsive buying. It's like they know the market so well! This <a href="http://missha.beautynet.co.kr/noticeEvent/eventView.do?ntcEventNo=22964" target="_blank"><b>Missha</b> x <b>Line Friends</b></a> are sold out everywhere and surely it takes effort to get this (especially when I'm an Indonesian based blogger). So here you go!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Got myself shade #23.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are actually two versions of this cushion, I got myself the Brown one, <i><b>M Magic Cushion</b></i> which is made for oily-combination skin, whereas the other one, Sally in <b style="font-style: italic;">M Magic Cushion Moisture </b>is made<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>for people with dry skin. My skin type is oily on the T-zone area and normal on the other part. Moreover, I like Brown more than Sally. Even if this Brown edition is marketed for people with dry skin, I would still buy it. Sorry, Sally... T^T If there's a hierarchy, I'd put Jessica on the first place (because she is so me), Cony on the second place, Brown on the third place, then Sally and their other friends (Moon, Leonard or Edward doesn't matter).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first edition came with 2 refills with no extra puff, so I'll either buy a new puff later or just wash it regularly with my <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/06/clean-makeup-brushes-101.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Etude House <i>Puff & Brush Cleaning Mist</i></a>. However, <b>Missha</b> has changed the bundle, so if you order now you'll get 1 refill and 1 extra puff instead, but with the same price! *sigh*</div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFEAz21-ZB8_U6uvUKzJRsnL5Ijj6yJb_rYnFKJ6pBiU9VkJgAQzGbylteZVuLUubHxtjBcDNXGWpLgzmMMqZTxcin_McJ3DDiTafYrke5KF5etTlxp99wVJapaRkIcT-bm-6laz0_MA/s1600/BROWN+INSIDE_zpswxutliqa.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMFEAz21-ZB8_U6uvUKzJRsnL5Ijj6yJb_rYnFKJ6pBiU9VkJgAQzGbylteZVuLUubHxtjBcDNXGWpLgzmMMqZTxcin_McJ3DDiTafYrke5KF5etTlxp99wVJapaRkIcT-bm-6laz0_MA/s640/BROWN+INSIDE_zpswxutliqa.PNG" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Brown face all over the packaging, super adorable!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Told ya I'm a fool for cute packaging. Anyway, despite the cute design and being a <b>Line Friends</b>' fan, I find the packaging and the puff are not in the greatest quality. I haven't seen the original <b><i><a href="http://www.misshaus.com/m-magic-cushion-spf50-pa.html" target="_blank">M Magic Cushion</a></i></b> in person, but based on the photo, it must feel like the <b>Laneige</b> one? This Brown edition looks so plastic and also feels like plastic, which can be also a good point because it's not as heavy as my <b><a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/12/lucky-holiday.html" target="_blank">Laneige <i>BB Cushion</i></a></b>. Hence, those who want to have a more elegant look while touching up, might not like this. Obviously people who would buy this are either a fan of <b>Line Friends</b> or just adore anything cute. I guess, so?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTIjSVlE-urU4o3aZi0CeD-jPsEn9pV9RQwtMOY3T-VHuWuiIlUj2zLaqwAR9aDdYtmqkpV9auPdvqzjbUMwKYgbBL76eWFQTxGzmOO2c42kEOhlBrGpocAAB6FdpEJTUSnFxLkZ27Fnc/s1600/LINE+SWATCH2_zpsdwjbnwgi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTIjSVlE-urU4o3aZi0CeD-jPsEn9pV9RQwtMOY3T-VHuWuiIlUj2zLaqwAR9aDdYtmqkpV9auPdvqzjbUMwKYgbBL76eWFQTxGzmOO2c42kEOhlBrGpocAAB6FdpEJTUSnFxLkZ27Fnc/s640/LINE+SWATCH2_zpsdwjbnwgi.JPG" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The swatch on my skin.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was confused whether to get myself shade #21 or #23 because I've always been using shade #21 in my whole life, but based on the YouTube reviews I saw, #21 looks too pale! Then I asked the reseller which one should I get if I normally use #21 for <b>Laneige</b> BB cushion, they replied <b>Missha</b> shade is a bit lighter and #23 would be right for me. I trusted them and seriously loved the result. I have been using this cushion for a week and will definitely bring this to the States because the coverage and oil control is just great. Though I'll be bringing my <b>Laneige</b> too just in case the weather is still cold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, for people with oily combination skin like me and live in such humid climate, I think they will like this version more than the <i><b>M Magic Cushion Moisture</b></i> one. Besides, it still gives me that semi-matte finish, not dewy as it promises, but fairly glowing looking, I suppose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Anyway, if you're interested to buy this cushion and live in Indonesia, just feel free to email me and I'd recommend you the reseller, they're so kind to me and also trustworthy. I bought their<b> <i>Eye Color Studio Mini Line Friends Edition</i></b> too as a gift for my friend and personally asked them to wrap it neatly for me, and they really did it without hesitation. Have I mentioned I'd appreciate it when people want to go extra mile for their customers?</div>

If you haven't already read my review on the other <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2016/01/fresh-start.html" target="_blank"><b>Benton <i>Honest</i></b></a> skincare, you might probably wonder why I use <b>Benton</b> as I was reluctant about the brand before. Anyway, I've been quite interested in this product as I need something that can moisturize my skin without making it oily. Talk about balance! Especially when my skin is a bit oily on the T-zone.<br />
<br />
This <b><i>Honest TT Mist</i></b> actually claims that it can benefit all skin type, such as problematic skin, dry/ oily skin, and even sensitive skin. With tea tree plant as the main ingredient, we all know how great the healing power tea tree has, which makes it a popular natural acne treatment ingredient. I personally had a bad experience using tea tree oil back then in junior school, my hormonal acne became even worse after religiously applying tea tree oil from <b>The Body Shop</b> to my affected skin. That what made me think twice to try this, but a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do. Skincare is all about trial and error!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The spray nozzle.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><br />
</u>Packaging wise, I like the fact it doesn't come in a can bottle and the small size is perfect for traveling. The water that comes from the nozzle supposed to be fine mist, but in real life, it's a bit too harsh. I mean if you compare it to <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2014/02/daily-essentials.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Avène <i>Eau Thermale Spring Water</i></a>, that's how a fine mist should've appeared. They claim about 250 times sprays usage. I've been using this product since January every day and night, and do around 5 sprays each usage, now it still have maybe like 8ml left on the tube.<br />
<br />
Scent wise, it has no scent! How surprising. I was expecting something herbal but there's none and I seriously love it. Imagine how weird it would be to spray something scented to your face! Well, I do smell something a very tiny bit that I can't even explain what it is, but I'm sure it's nothing like perfume. Which in the end, makes me really believe there's no added fragrance in this product.<br />
<br />
Performance wise, the texture is like water, and I spray it directly to my face, then pat it with my palms. I use it as my secondary toner, my current primary toner is from <b>The Face Shop </b><b style="font-style: italic;">Jeju Volcanic Lava</b> (which is a nice product, however I'm not going to repurchase). The mist feels soothing on skin and also hydrating at the same time, another great thing is, it keeps my acne at bay *greatest feeling ever* ^^<br />
<u><br />
</u> All in all, although the spray packaging kind of disappoints me, the product works like wonder. I'm absolutely going to repurchase it, because mine is going to run out soon! You can get yours at <a href="http://jolse.com/" target="_blank">Jolse</a>.<br />

It's a new year! Hope that everyone's had a wonderful start to 2016. As I want to stick to one of my new year's resolutions which is "Less makeup, more skincare." I've started to change my skincare routine and found this rave on the market, it is from <b>Benton</b>. Yes, when we're talking about <b>Benton</b>, it's not going to be easy since there are mixed reviews and so on. Please rest assured that this post is not a sponsored review at all. I bought the product with my own money and conscience after loads of researching.<br />
<br />
I was very skeptical about this brand before, until one day, Alice of W2Beauty personally convinced me to try the samples, I believe it was the <b><i>Aloe BHA Skin Toner</i></b> if I'm not mistaken. She explained about <b>Benton</b> background issue and the company's solution to the trouble occurred. So after the reconsideration, I tried their samples, and I was beyond glad I didn't get weird reaction. I mean, my skin was just fine. I'm thankful that Alice contacted me, because if she didn't do that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't test <b>Benton</b> product, not even a single of it. I myself was too biased towards the bad reviews.<br />
<br />
This is just my story, to be honest though, skincare is about trial and error in a battlefield. I don't want to jinx, but my skin has been reacting so far so great. This cleansing foam is not the only fighter, I get facial every month, I have my own at-home spa as a little treat to myself at least every twice a week. It wasn't easy nor inexpensive. But at the end, the effort feels super worth it.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a lot of research before buying this product, there were too many mixed reviews about it and somehow made me wonder if it's worth the gambling. Last year there was a hype called "Low pH Cleanser", as if it's a big deal you should get a low pH one in order to avoid dehydration of the skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I'm already familiar with products that claim "pH balanced" for the skin, I was confused if the low pH ones would do good. Apparently, there's no big difference in using low pH cleanser since it will disrupt our skin acid mantle just as higher pH cleanser will. The surprising fact is, low pH cleanser may consist <i>more chemicals</i>, because it 'needs' chemical to be mixed into the formulation so that the product reaches the desired pH level. Moreover, it's not the pH level that matters, but the ingredients after all. The point is, your skin don't get irritated simply because the pH level is too acidic or too alkaline.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't own an at-home pH testing kit, but based on my research, this cleansing foam ranges around 8. It only use natural surfactants that are extracted from palm oil, also consists no harmful ingredients. The product is meant for secondary cleansing, so don't expect it can break down waterproof properties such as tinted eyebrow gel. LOL. Besides, it's 2016, double cleanse, will ya?</div>

My skin is oily combination, oily T-zone and normal on the rest to be exact. Just so you know, I'm the type of person who dislikes it when my skin feels tight or overly moisturized after washing off. This cleansing foam leaves the kind of feeling in between that, feels so right. It makes my skin squeaky clean without stripping my skin at all. The foam lathers easily too! Thrice a week on the day I wear heavier makeup, I'd wash my face with <b>Pobling <i>Premium Pore Sonic Cleanser</i></b>, letting all the stubborn excess makeup and dead skin come out.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scent wise, it smells soapy. At first I needed to get used because my recent one smelt so different (I used up two <b>Holika Holika </b><b style="font-style: italic;">Volcanic Pore Purifying Deep Cleansing Foam</b>, which was an amazing record for someone like me). I've been considering to use this <b><i>Honest Cleansing Foam</i></b> in the long run too. That may difficult for someone who gets bored easily and always tends to explore new stuffs out there. However, if the cleanser will continue doing good to my skin just like now, I think I'll have to stop with the gambling game.</div>

I've been seriously committed to my new year's resolution. As I said earlier, I'll reduce my expense on my makeup. Not that I'm not enjoying makeup, I just want to have a better canvas, meaning a smooth healthy skin so that my makeup would look more flawless and of course, I'm a sucker for "natural look, but not really". LOL.<br />
<br />
Here is my go-to minimal makeup, which is super easy to create. Did I say I've been indulging cream texture makeup lately? I'm giving a special shoutout to <b>Etude House </b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Play 101 Stick</i>. It gives glow to the skin, comes in handy (no pun intended) yet doesn't break me out.<br />

Perhaps if you haven't heard, I'm currently holding a <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/12/my-kind-of-beauty-mask-mini-giveaway.html">mini giveaway</a>. Go click the link because the deadline is only a couple of days away :P So now the festive season is here, you know I can't help but getting myself a treat of limited edition thingy such as this BB cushion from <b>Laneige</b>.<b> </b>It's my second BB cushion after purchasing <a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/05/dinoplatz-ufo-multibox.html" target="_blank"><b>Too Cool For School <i>Dinoplatz U.F.O Multibox</i></b></a> that was actually a spontaneous buying because back than I should've bought their <b><i><a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2015/02/korean-beauty-wish-list.html" target="_blank">Sparkling Party</a></i></b> edition. Anyway, I'm finally trying this out!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/lorretamichelle/media/LANEIGE/SAM_3607_zpsiblmeddi.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday Edition review" border="0" src="https://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r773/lorretamichelle/LANEIGE/SAM_3607_zpsiblmeddi.png" height="769" title="" width="650"></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Laneige <i>BB Cushion Lucky Holiday Edition</i></b>.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><u>Description</u>: A new concept cushion-type BB with five active ingredients for whitening + sunscreen + sweat-proof + soothing + makeup contained in the cushion to maximize the refreshing and soothing sensation.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/lorretamichelle/media/LANEIGE/1_zpszkyytkaq.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday description" border="0" src="https://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r773/lorretamichelle/LANEIGE/1_zpszkyytkaq.png" height="640" title="" width="640"></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">As expected from <b>Laneige</b>, sleek design on the outside yet informative in the inside.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I bought the #21 in natural beige, I noticed there is another #21 shade called pink beige and though I have neutral undertone, I just don't want to risk it. Yup.. Talking about playing on the safe side. Then, moving on to the packaging, I like this year's holiday collection compared to their <b>PLAYNOMORE</b> or <b>pushBUTTON</b> collaboration. The design is not as simple as <b>Sparkling Party </b>nor the original. It has clubs pattern in red and transparent with accent of gold that adds classy impression I suppose. The mirror inside is very useful too, especially when my touchup time reaching.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/lorretamichelle/media/LANEIGE/Untitled-2_zpscd2b3cf2.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday review" border="0" src="https://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r773/lorretamichelle/LANEIGE/Untitled-2_zpscd2b3cf2.png" height="640" title="" width="640"></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Excellent theme for year-end holiday.</span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Based on the leaflet, the puff that comes altogether with the BB cushion is designed to deliver refreshing cooling sensation as it absorbs moisture less than ordinary puff. Usually I press down the cushion two times to get the desirable amount, application is quick because it blends right away as I repeatedly pat the puff on my face. Although I might have to disagree with the statement it has cooling sensation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1366.photobucket.com/user/lorretamichelle/media/LANEIGE/result%20laneige_zps9y9wdntw.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Laneige BB Cushion swatch natural beige" border="0" src="https://i1366.photobucket.com/albums/r773/lorretamichelle/LANEIGE/result%20laneige_zps9y9wdntw.jpg" height="640" title="" width="640"></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">The swatch on my skin.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This BB cushion somehow has similar scent to <b><a href="http://felishmichelle.blogspot.co.id/2014/07/bcdation.html" target="_blank">Tony Moly <i>BCDation</i></a> </b>that makes me wonder, do they belong in the same parent company? Apparently <b>Tony Moly</b> isn't under <b>AmorePacific </b>corporation. The scent has a hint of floral and powder, but nothing too exaggerated.<br />
<br />
I'm glad I picked this shade as it compliments my skin tone once it oxidizes. True that it leaves white cast because of its SPF 50 PA+++, but I'll be neutral here because on the other hand, I need high SPF in my life. If it's going to be a picture day, I'd rather grab my <b>Bourjois</b> foundation. It has dewy finish and one notable thing is it might be leaving sticky feeling, but putting on translucent powder will do the trick. Coverage wise, it can cover some spots, therefore evens out my skin tone. I like how it brighten my complexion, plus it's also sweat-proof! I once tested it during my gym session which included 30 minutes treadmill and cycling, and all I could see my complexion was still fab. LOL.<br />
<br />
Frankly speaking, the only downside of having a cushion is that I need to invest either time or money on the puff. If you think washing a beauty blender is a pain in the neck, wait until you meet a cushion puff like this ;)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
