When Brown Meets Cushion

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 Steph's blog, check it out to see my stylebook to welcome Spring :D

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 Missha and Line Friends. 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 Missha x Line Friends are sold out everywhere and surely it takes effort to get this (especially when I'm an Indonesian based blogger). So here you go!

Missha M Magic Cushion Line Friends Edition.

Description: Magic cushion with perfect coverage to help achieve flawless skin and long lasting makeup without darkening. Micro cover pigment delivers flawless coverage to skin and silica-bead powder effectively absorbs sweat and sebum, leaving makeup last longer with sun protection benefits with SPF50+/PA+++.

What it promises:

• Perfect coverage
• Long-wearing
• Lightweight
• Smooth, dewy finish

Got myself shade #23.

There are actually two versions of this cushion, I got myself the Brown one, M Magic Cushion which is made for oily-combination skin, whereas the other one, Sally in M Magic Cushion Moisture is made 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).

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 Etude House Puff & Brush Cleaning Mist. However, Missha 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*

Brown face all over the packaging, super adorable!

Told ya I'm a fool for cute packaging. Anyway, despite the cute design and being a Line Friends' fan, I find the packaging and the puff are not in the greatest quality. I haven't seen the original M Magic Cushion in person, but based on the photo, it must feel like the Laneige 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 Laneige BB Cushion. 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 Line Friends or just adore anything cute. I guess, so?

The swatch on my skin.

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 Laneige BB cushion, they replied Missha 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 Laneige too just in case the weather is still cold.

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 M Magic Cushion Moisture one. Besides, it still gives me that semi-matte finish, not dewy as it promises, but fairly glowing looking, I suppose.

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 Eye Color Studio Mini Line Friends Edition 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?

Dewy Kisses

[Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received the product for a review purpose, but the opinions are my own based on my experience.]

Hi dearest bumblebees! Been away for too long, a month to be precise, I know. A little life update from me; I spent my summer vacay in the States, but I couldn't present such amusing stories for you. Because for comparison, west coast was fun. However, east coast, as much as I could recall, was a hell of a lot fun. So I went to the City of Angels, San Fransisco and (uhm) Las Vegas with my mom. It's weird how I still couldn't get over NYC, Boston, Atlantic City and the other cities along the east coast that I visited like 2 years ago, meanwhile I don't feel like going back to west coast at all. I didn't take plenty of pictures too. Again. Weird.

Anyway, here I'm back in town, bringing you a new product from Jolse, called Dewy Kiss Lip Balm by Missha. Chapped lips have been stories of my life, I tried a lot of lipbalms from Chapstick, Burt Bee's, Nivea, Maybelline, Palmer's and so on, they're doing pretty good job, but I wonder if this very adorable pinky packaging could do the same too. I won't go chattering those other brands, so let's just get straight to the review!

Missa Dewy Kiss Lip Balm.

Description: Scented lip balm for sweet and moist, kissable lips. Containing cupuacu butter and asimina triloba extract to care lips without stickiness.

Directions: Use finger or brush to apply over lips.

They didn't state the ingredients on the packaging so I had to copy-paste it directly from Missha's official US website:

Microcrystalline Wax, Petrolatum, Mineral Oil, Octyldodecanol, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Paraffin, Jojoba Seed Oil, Mango Seed Butter, Meadowfoam Delta-Lactone, Sunflower Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract, vena Sativa (Oat) Meal Extract, Punica Granatum Extract, Mentha Rotundifolia Leaf Extract, Grapefruit Extract, Coconut Oil, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter, Nephelium Lappaceum Branch/Fruit/Leaf Extract, Litchi Chinensis Fruit Extract, Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract, Asmino Triloba Tree Fruit Extract, Diisostearyl Malate, Polyethylene, Glyceryl Behenate, Beeswax, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Trihydroxystearin, Polyglyceryl-6 Octastearate, Caprylic/Caprylic Triglyceride, Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylyl Glycol,Silica, Aluminum Hydroxide, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Water, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, CI 15850, CI 19140

The key ingredient is theobroma grandiflorum, aka cupuacu butter as mentioned in the description above. To be honest though, I didn't know what it was so I browsed through Google and found the detailed explanation about it from Lush. I'd just mention some of the fact to make it brief yet clear, k?

So cupuacu is a tropical tree in Amazon rain forest. Apparently the tree is still related to cacao the tree where cocoa beans are obtained. Long story short, the cupuacu butter is obtained by cold-pressing. The butter is consists of various beneficial fatty acids. Because of its rich content of; phytosterols to benefit dry, damaged skin, polyphenols to combat free radicals in the tissues, and fatty acids (including palmitic, stearic and oleic acids) to protect and moisturize, it can act as skin hydrator and plumper. Though it's not recognized as an SPF, cupuacu butter also well known for it's ability to absorb damaging UVA / UVB rays for natural sun protection.

Double-sealed for hygiene and protection.

Now let me carry on the actual review, I got myself the lipbalm in shade dewy berry not because I like berries. I was actually a bit hesitant I might be licking my lips if I picked this one. It was just the fact that pink wins most of the time. HA!

First time opening the pot, there were some 'steam' most likely due to the shipping.

The lipbalm comes in a tiny plastic pot, weighed 7g and available in three different flavors; berry, grapefruit, citron. It has jelly-like texture, it's slick but the balm doesn't rub off easily on my finger (yeah, I'm using my clean finger). The pink shade unfortunately wouldn't be seen on your lips, it will only look hydrated, moistened without awkward glossy finish or stickiness. I tried to lick my lips while having this lipbalm on and thank goodness, it doesn't have any unpleasant taste at all, just bland. Just like how it's named, the scent is sort of like berries, sweet but a bit sour in a good way for me, since it's not strong.

All in all, I think it is a must-have product for those who like a potted lippies in a cute packaging, and who search for translucent lipbalms with slightly fruit scent to keep their lips soft and hydrated.

Price: USD 6.98

All-Around Safe Block

[Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received the product for a review purpose, but the opinions are my own based on my experience.]

Helloooo, dearest bumblebees! How come it's the end of the month already? I just can't bid goodbye to August yet, but life must go on. Remember when a couple of months ago I shared my favorite sunscreen? I said that I converted my sunscreen to the physical one, I also did explain the difference between the physical and chemical sunscreens if you're interested to know more about it. Furthermore, if you're still wondering why is it important to wear sunscreen daily, kindly watch this video :)

Well, as now I'm going to share a chemical filter sunscreen, let me clarify why I try a chemical sunscreen again. As you know, physical sunscreens tend to leave white cast on skin. The L'occitane Immortelle that I reviewed awhile ago doesn't leave me white cast, but the thing is I share the product (ehm, it's expensive) with my mom now, and I'm just being oh-so-lazy to go to her room to grab the sunscreen and often end up forgetting to use it. So I come up with an idea of finding a budget-friendly sunscreen for a student like me ^^

Missha All-Around Safe Block Essence Sun SPF 45/PA+++.

I don't think I have tried many Missha product in the past, I have known this product for a long time but I have yet to try their skin care. Well, except their First Treatment Essence. Btw, I'm pleased to know that Missha is against animal testing as it's stated on the packaging. To be frank, I don't really mind using a product that's tested on animals or even has animal ingredient in it anyway. I am sorry that I may disappoint you, but I'm just... being totally honest. I'm not a vegan, I eat McDonald's, I own animal leather bags and wallet, and I do use animal ingredient beauty products such as, snail mucus, pearl powder, etc as well. So how can I say I'm against animal cruelty :( In spite of those statements, I give props to all the animal cruelty-free products! Trust me I'm not cruel to animal, I can't stand watching all those videos on YouTube at how bad human treat the chicken and cow and pigs and rats and so on. However, if you still think I am cruel and heartless to animal, it's okay x_x

The ingredients.

The active ingredient in this sunscreen is ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (also called octyl methoxycinnamate). For effectiveness against UVA or UVB please refer to this chart for all the FDA-approved sunscreen filters. It's shown that the ingredient only absorbs UVB and short-wave UVA. On the other hand, UVA rays are more harmful as these rays penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB, which have long been known to play a major part in skin aging and wrinkling.

Controversy exists over whether or not octyl methoxycinnamate may harm humans who use products with the chemical in them. According to ÖKO-TEST Kosmetikliste, octyl methoxycinnamate has been suspected as hormones to act as it is absorbed through the skin and can be detected in breast milk. However, there is no conclusive evidence has been found and it is uncertain what the exact effects of octyl methoxycinnamate are. Since Missha didn't state how many percent of octyl methoxycinnamate they use, all I can say is, it is less recommendable as a chemical filter.

So it's all now back to your personal choice whether you want to use sunscreens with this chemical filter or not. I have mixed feelings when using this kind of product, just like when I find 'cones or parabens in my beauty products. I'd only continue to use it when it doesn't give bad reaction, as for this sunscreen, fortunately I haven't experienced any breakout. Please just don't....

The swatch and I intentionally captured it unblended.

As it's called Essence Sun by Missha, it's supposed to be moisturizing just like an essence. It doesn't contain mineral oil, which I really prefer because mineral oil breaks me out sometimes. The main ingredients are the 7 Oriental Tea Newplex, which are chrysanthemum tea, green tea, terragon tea, mulberry tea, persimmon leaf tea, arrowroot tea, and cinnamon tea.

I use the sunscreen on top of my skincare routine and all over my exposed body, such as arms, legs, and feet. It feels so lightweight, smooth (as there's dimethicone in it) and has a semi-matte finish. The sunscreen turns transparent once it's fully absorbed to the skin. It smells pretty nice, like floral scent, very natural. Furthermore, it doesn't leave white cast! Perfect for photoshoot :P

One thing I notice about this sunscreen is it's not waterproof. Therefore, this won't be the ideal sunscreen if you involve in water activities. That's why they have another variant that's formulated strongly against sweat or water, called All-Around Safe Block Waterproof Sun. It offers a slightly higher SPF which is SPF 50.

The sunscreen will expire in 12 months usage, and I think 12 months is a great deal for a sunscreen since my usual sunscreen expires in 6 months and (again) it's expensive T_T

Price: USD 11.50

Not only Asian cosmetics, Hanavillage.com sells circle lenses too and offers free worldwide shipping if you purchase more than USD 30. I asked Cindy (their representative) if she can pick me any natural green circle lens and here's what she chose for me ^^ The circle lenses are from Dueba, it's manufactured under The Dolly Eye plant so that explains the packaging, yes?

The cutest circle lens packaging I've ever had.

Specification of Dueba Puffy 3tones:
Power Range: 0.00 ∼ -10.00
Diameter: 14.5mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Water Content: 38%
Lifespan: 1 year disposal


The result on my very dark brown eyes.

Design: 4.5 out of 5
First time wearing green lenses, I was surprised at how natural they look on me! Now that I think it again, such vibrant color doesn't pop out much on my very dark brown eyes, which make it seem natural on me. The lens has three tones, and based on my experience, 3 tones lenses will give a natural result on my eyes. It doesn't get a full score from me because the design is kinda pixelated, even though it looks just fine when it's worn.

Enlargement: 4.5 out of 5
The limbal ring is perfect for the lens. As this lens has a diameter of 14.5 mm, the enlargement effect looks quite natural for small eyes like me.

Comfort: 3 out of 5
You know the feeling when it feels like there's something on your eyes though it doesn't hurt, right? That's what I exactly feel about this lens. However, after several eye drops and some blinks, it feels comfortable. The lens starts to dry after 3 hours when I wear it indoor with the AC on, but I can wear this lens up to 7 hours.

Overall: I love how natural the lens look on me despite green is not my natural eye color. Though it may feel a bit weird at first, the lens can be worn up to 7 hours and it's a yearly lens which is a fair point.

Price: USD 22.50 per pair

Final look with Missha All-Around Safe Block Essence Sun and Dueba Puffy 3tones.

Lens care tips: Treat your circle lenses gently, wash your hands before application, rinse & disinfect each time you remove them, and dispose them when they start to cause dryness. Even if this lens has yearly lifespan, I won't use it for one year, I'll probably dispose after six months usage. I write the first time usage date of each lens on the back of the lens case (with a sticker and marker of course). I always insert and remove my lens from the left eye too, it has become a habit for me so I won't mix up the left and right lenses. This is the great way to avoid eye infection.

My Very Own Essentials

Hello everyone!! It's been ages, literally ages, eh? Here I am, I'm back. Not sure lots of people would still read my blog. But, HELLOOOO PEOPLE! Special hello to my devoted readers :D

What I'm gonna write is about my skin problem. I've been suffering a skin problem, not that serious though, since the first time I used this one brand of BB Cream. I have a sensitive combination skin, which I get oily around my T-Zone and I really have to blot my face like once or sometimes twice a day. I easily will have new pimples if I get massaged and stuff. I didn’t have such troubled skin back then when I was in middle/ high-school until the first year I got in university, I do have facial every month but it was for only maintaining my skin from blackheads and whiteheads.

(Btw, this is not an advertorial at all. I write this whole thing based on my experience and I merely wanna share it)

Before jumping to the story, maybe it’s better to explain what a BB cream is, who knows if a guy’s reading this post, LOL. BB cream stands for Blemish Balm Cream, there are lots of other names too but the well-known one is Blemish Balm. It was originally formulated in the 1960s by a dermatologist in Germany to protect her patients' skin after surgery. However, it has become very popular in East Asia, and even now in South-East Asia for a substitution of foundation. There are also AA Cream and CC Cream as well, but I haven’t tried both of them :P

Ok. Then, I was introduced to this BB cream product by my sister (hi sist!! ♥) who studied in Taipei, she has a Japanese friend so no wonder she knew this product, besides it was Taiwan hahaha.. I tried BB cream for the first time in mid 2011 and been a loyal user ever since. The first brand ever that I tried was called L’Egere from Korea.

A little review for this BB cream, it was jjang!!!! The best BB cream everrrr. I had been sticking to L’Egere for a year and a half, and the only reason I didn’t continue using this product is because they don’t have L’Egere in Jakarta and I can't find it online, neither on Chic-Princessa nor Qoo10, they don't sell L'Egere :(

So I changed to The Face Shop and I am very upset with this cream. Why?

Because it breaks me out, I got zits! It is very cakey and it obviously makes my face too pale and oily. I’m pretty sure I chose the correct tone color! I know! It’s funny that this BB cream has like 2 tone colors if I’m not mistaken, ‘cause L’Egere doesn’t have that kind of option.

So this is a picture of The Face Shop Magic Cover BB cream that I used, it was a natural (beige) color.

 See? It doesn’t blend really well :\

As I have been a fan of JYJ and Song Joong-ki. They represent this cosmetic brand from Korea, named Tony Moly. Four months ago, I found out that JYJ were recently selected as the newest faces of their brand. That’s why never underestimate the power of endorsement! 

However, I am not biased. I’ve been using their products, from the nail polish ‘till the treatment product such as facial foam, toner and mask.

For nail polishing, I like The Face Shop so muuuuch better.

Then I purchased Tony Moly BB Cream. I did a lot of research that time, after reading review by review; I decided to use the Honey-Bee BB Cream. I likeeeee it so much! The composition, the fragrance and the result. Why choosing Honey-Bee, because honey is good for troubled skin, it is also made for sensitive skin and it has SPF 30 J

I am really satisfied with this BB cream, still I like L’Egere so much better but this one gives closer effect of L’Egere. The only con about this BB cream is the coverage I guess, but I didn't have any acne scars back then when I used L'Egere, therefore I really couldn't compare them in terms of coverage :(

Even so I’ve found an ideal BB cream, doesn’t mean my skin didn’t trouble anymore. I still have some blemishes and pimples every now and then.

I stopped using my used-to-be facial cleanser, which is a baby soap and start using this Dr. Tony AC Control Facial Foam from Tony Moly as well.

It has been like a month or two of using this product and I can say I love it, it doesn’t make my skin dry and it balances sebum on my skin, I can feel it soften my skin. It can remove make-up too! But still I remove my make up with makeup remover because I use all the waterproof eye make-up. It can remove your make-up on cheeks, chins and whatnot, but nay for eye make-up! See I’m not biased!? ;P
Although it does its best to reduce the number of zits that I have on my face, the occasional zits still pop up, especially during my period.

And after using the facial foam, I use the toner, the toner that I’m using is the one that gives whitening effect, cause it’s said it can help brighten up your skin :P this toner controls sebum very well, I normally wake up with oily face around my T-Zone, after using this toner, I feel my face fresher than usual.

Besides, I almost don’t have to blot my face now if I hang out in evening till night.

Some of you might already know the almighty SKII Facial Treatment Essence that costs like more than a million IDR for the 150ml bottle, yeah, lotsa said it has a really good effect for your skin that dehydrated, control oil, fade out your scars, glows your skin, yadda yadda yadda, I have never tried it for once because it is freaking expensive! I think it is a wee bit too overrated, reading the review doesn’t convince me to make a purchase.

Then, I stumbled on an online store and bought this Missha First Treatment Essence of 30ml that only costs 180k IDR (just FYI, SKII FTE is sold online 250k IDR for the 30ml bottle).

Since I'm still giving it a try, I'll make a review of this one later. Promise!

Actually, there are lots of copycat products other than this Missha FTE, such as IOPE Bio Essence, Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence and not to mention TonyMoly Intense Care First Essence.

Left: TonyMoly // Center: IOPE // Right: Secret Key

But, let's just focus to Missha FTE.

The reason I bought this tiny version cause I want to give it a try whether it shows any improvement or not. SKII FTE has been well known for a sensitive or acne-prone skin. Well, it’s for a 30ish woman, but I think it does good for even a 20ish like me. But why don’t try the cheaper version of SKII? LOL. I did some research on this product of course before finally buying it.

Here’s the comparison of two products. (click image to enlarge)

One of the strengths of this Missha FTE compared to SKII FTE, is that Missha FTE's Paraben free! Although the cons of it is its 80% yeast extract while SKII FTE's 90%.

Then, the next step after applying concealer and stuff, as you know, I have troubled skin, and it was so confusing to choose what kind of powder that suits me the most. I’d been using pressed powder, and then my dermatologist said that my skin should be wearing the loose powder one. So yeah, I did a lot of research and although money equals quality, I wanted to save my money on better things. Therefore, when I visited TM store, I bought their loose powder, instead of wasting my money on expensive ones. I was confused whether purchasing the Luminous one or this Mineral Skin-Fit Snow Powder, the only disadvantage on this Mineral Skin-Fit Snow Powder is that, it doesn’t give any color (except a little white if you put too much of it) or scent on your skin, it just makes your skin fresh, natural and help to control the excess sebum. Seeing the mineral ingredient and talc-free, I eventually purchased this one!

This loose powder costs 199k IDR. It has a nice packaging too. Sure, you can get cheaper price by buying this product online. It's unfortunate that Tony Moly only has 2 counters in Jakarta, one in Taman Anggrek Mall and another one in Pondok Indah Mall. Well, since I'm a fan of matte finished make-up and after reading some reviews that said Luminous gives semi-matte effect, it kind of turns me off so I think it is a great decision for me that I bought the Mineral Skin-Fit.

These are the powder that I've used. Whether it’s MAC, Dior, Bourjois or MakeOver, none of them could make me want to stick with them forever. Especially MakeOver, which is an Indonesian make-up brand from the same company of Wardah, it breaks out my skin and I suffered the worst skin problem because of using this MakeOver and The Face Shop BB cream at the same time. For MAC and Dior it is OK, I like Dior than Mac but both of them really pricey hahaha so yeaaah… I like Bourjois; in fact I’ve been using this product for like 5 years probably? I’m still using Bourjois and MAC Studio Fix anyway. I love using MAC ‘cause sometimes I got lazy to put my BB cream, so every time I skip that part, I’ll just use my MAC to cover up my face. It gives a medium coverage without using a BB cream, so I don’t recommend this for people who hate a slightly heavy coverage. Don’t worry ‘cuz it gives a natural effect with matte finish.

Next, I’ll move on to the cleansing liquid. I used this Lancome Galatéis Douceur.

Lancome Galatéis Douceur and TonyMoly Honey-Bee BB Cream

(should've put the BB cream picture alone, my bad!)

For you who use a heavy make-up, this one wouldn’t help to remove all your make-up, you’d need to use a proper make-up remover since this one acts like a cleansing milk. I usually only use BB cream as the base and a light make-up such as powder, eye shadow and mascara, this one easily removes them. I don’t really use eyeliner, only on special occasion though. I find it difficult to remove my eyeliner with this cleansing liquid. I must use my make-up remover for the eyeliner. The after feeling after using this liquid is priceless. I totally like it! It’s soft and gentle, even after washing your face. All in all, I highly recommend this product!

So, how about my weekly treatment?

Appletox from Tony Moly. I couldn't resist the cute packaging X.x

EggPore and Tomatox from Tony Moly

I use these three products every three days, first I would use the Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream.
"Multi-functional cream that effectively removes Keratin and double up as a massage cream with a nourishing pack function. Containing Green Apple extract, AHA and Papaya extract, this Appletox pack provides excellent exfoliation of dead skin cells and aged Keratin. Skin is kept smooth and radiant."

Then I'll continue using Egg-pore Blackhead Out Oil Gel.

"Contains Egg elements and Magic capsules which remove dead skin and sebum. The oil gel purifies whitehead, blackhead, excess sebum and dirt in pores. Pore trouble care solution helps to purify the skin, manages dead skin cells, provides nutrition, and protects skin from further damage. Improves various troubles and makes skin look bright and clean. Camellia Flower Extract soothes skin with no irritation and purifies dirt deep inside the pores with lightweighted jelly-like feeling."

After this, I would use pore pack strips because I find it easier for the blackhead to be taken off after the little massage with TM Egg-pore and removing it with lukewarm water. They have the Tightening pack as well, but I am happy enough using just this. Then I would use my toner so that it will tighten back my pore.

Next, I’d use the Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack.

“Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack is a multi functional massage pack with tomato extract that has a detox property to clear skin. Contains lemon extract that accelerates collagen synthesis and also whitens and tones skin. Baicha extract helps calm irritated skin while offering a whitening effect. Houstonia extract is also known as a mysterious herb with 10 kinds of properties of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-allergenic, whitening, which all contribute to clear radiant skin.”

I’ve said I have a sensitive skin right? Yes, I easily got new pimples when I get massaged, that’s why I didn’t really massage my face when I’m using this product, I’ll just make a circular motion just like when I wash my face and leave it for 10mins and rinse it off.

And this extremely lovely bunny moist from TM is actually for a dry skin, pardon me 'cause I buy it just because from its appearance!!! X_X

This pic was taken when I was on my way to ♡Jaejoong♡ fan meeting! He was so enchanting!

I should be buying the other bunny version for my skin type. UGHH! Therefore, I stopped using this cutey bunny. Even though it doesn’t cause any trouble for my skin thus far, I’m just afraid it soon will.

Yup, my skin is now brightener than ever.

I use a traditional mask as well from a bengkuang (Pachyrhizus erosus) and white rose water once or sometimes twice a month.

How about the pimples? Here’s a little review of Tony Moly AC Control Spot Patch.

Thumbs up for the screensaver! ^^

I’m just too lazy to type it all over again, so please just read the review that I posted on my Path :P

And ever since I rarely hang out to both Taman Anggrek Mall and Pondok Indah Mall, and I was in need of this kind of patch. Hence I went to The Face Shop and ask for their patches. So, it's called Spot Clear Intensive Patch. For TM patches, you can get at 19k IDR, whilst TFS costs 29k IDR. Both of them contain 12 patches / strip. The only difference between these two is The Face Shop's patch has 2 different size, the smaller ones (which are the same size as TM's) and the larger ones.

And for reducing the acne scars;

The Face Shop Clean Face Series : Spot Corrector

That’s it! My essentials are just too many, aren’t they? But they are a MUST! Actually, this aren’t that much, cause I’ve been researching other bloggers and theirs are WOW! For instance, mine’s just 3 steps, theirs can be 5-6.

I don’t have a perfect skin, in fact I have one or two small monthly pimples! As a girl, taking care of your own skin is needed anyhow! I hope that my skin will get better and better kkk~

So, yeah, that’s just a story about my skin and some product review from me. How ‘bout you? Do you think mine are too complicated or still can be considered normal?

---
Btw, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to those who celebrate it!! I'm so happy that I got lots of angbaos! ^^*

What I wore yesterday for the CNY gathering :D

See you on the next post! Cheers!
