Deep Cleansing Oil

The reason why girl sometimes sleep with make up on?

Because they were too lazy to do a few steps of cleansing makeup! But now, you can just keep this on your make up case, because this little things can do a lot of work!

Dirt, excess oil, makeup—even waterproof mascara—and other pore-cloggers dissolve easily, leaving your face a grime-free zone that is soft to the touch. Its unique water-soluble formula rinses completely, so you’ll never see a greasy residue.

Here are my favorite :

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

This is DHC’s iconic product. They say its made with olive oil and vitamin E to help ensure you won’t see dryness either. and that one is sold every minute world wide.

Bobbi Brown Deep Cleansing Oil

 the Bobbi Brown cleansing oil is mineral oil free and has a very light viscous texture with a light pleasant scent. It cleans my skin well and my skin felt quite nice.

If you have tried this two, which one you think works better?

Beer-Infused Shampoo?

Most of us already know that beer have some positive effects for your strands. Cleansing with beer can actually add body to your hair. As we've seen in the many ways it is believed beer can help your hair, there are special components within beer- including B vitamins, wheat proteins, and maltose sugars- that make drinking a bottle less useful than pouring it on your head. The complex carbohydrates in beer have a hydrating effect, while the malt and hops coat each strand, giving them more strength and elasticity. Not only does hair appear shinier in the short term, but it also becomes stronger to avoid long-term breakage.

But instead of causing such a mess and odor while using beer and shampoo separately, try Lush's Cynthia Sylvia Stout ($30 Lushusa.com)

or

BROO's Citrus Pale Ale Shampoo ($15; Amazon.com)

What do you think about beer shampoo? Would you try one?

Packing Makeup For Trip

Hi everyone :)

Okay, so just let you guys know, now i'm currently in Hongkong for that Makeup Forever Academy things. But actually i don't  have visa for staying here. I'm just using my tourist visa, and as you know, Hongkong tourist visa is not required for citizens of Indonesia for stay up to 30 days. So, i just decided to stay in guangzhou for like 3 days, meet my friends and then come back here again. Gonna do that every month :) . So i'm gonna pack up first and bring a few things along with me.

Shills Caribbean Ice UV Spray. The weather there is unbelievable HOT ! It can reach 40-44C in august. So this spray is soo life saver for me. This does feel cool and has a lemon fragrance. It goes on white though, so you have to rub it in until the colour is gone. This spray doesn't feel too sticky and oily once dried. So it's still pretty good.

Make Up Forever HD Primer #5 is a must for you who like wearing makeup. Not only making makeup last longer, primer also makes a barrier between your skin and makeup which will protect your skin from the harsh of makeup.

Make Up Forever Loose Powder. I prefer wearing loose powder than the compact one, so that your face still can breathing.

Clinique Colour Surge Eyeshadow. For daily makeup, i prefer the simple and natural one. Also it's so small! So efficient.

Make Up Forever Liner in purple. Umm., it's just because i got boring with the black one ;)

Majolica Majorca Mascara. I won't dare to bring non waterproof one! it's extremely humid there.

and last,

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler. It's the best curler for me.It holds curl all day long, gives pretty curl and doesn't break my eyelashes like the other one did!

Kiehl's Lip Balm has SPF in there so use this first before applying my Estee Lauder Lipgloss #5. And the Make Up Forever Lipstick Pallete ? I'm just bringing it if i get bored with colour :p

Yes, it's all small packaging! I don't need a lot of product just for 3 days, right? ;)

My face is normal combination and dry at some spots, So i'm bringing my Kiehl's Ultra Facial Wash, Facial Toner and Facial Cream. I need gentle product to go along with mine. I also bringing the Kiehl's Serum. For eyes, i put the Lancome Genifique Eye Concentrate before my Khiel's Avocado Eye Cream. It makes my eye cream absorbs really well. After, I put Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion at the dry spots, and cover up my face with Clinique Moisture Surge (Best Seller), this locks the moisture in and keep it hydrated.

And last, i'm using Neutrogena Hand Cream to put at night and wake up with a softer hands , Victoria Secret Bombshell Body Mist to give you a fresh feeling after shower, and Chanel Mademoiselle Perfume, my fave one.

And also, just the simple brush for applying makeup. :)

That's the way i pack my things. Does Anyone do the same way like i did?

Mascara Battle !

People usually asking me this kinda question. "What brand of mascara that you like or which one can gives the best result?" Okay, don't get confused by the mascara galore on the market, let me help you to pick one. So, i'm gonna review the famous one of each brand. ;)

• Max Factor False Lash Effect

I was buying this mascara year ago, and i'd been dying to try and put to the test based on the great reviews about this mascara. This waterproof mascara promising glamorous, super enhanced lashes in a quick, easy brushstroke, creating a false eyelash effect.

So.... I  bought this after all the hype about it, and... this mascara is just okay. Little bit dissapointed.

It doesn't lenghten my eyelashes, and just gives a very little bit volume. What i like about this mascara, it holds curl, waterproof and doesn't clump at all. It's okay for daily makeup, but sometimes i find it just so troublesome to remove, so i'm not using it for daily either. But, if you are the smudge eyes type, this mascara suits you well.

• Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Expander

 Product Features : 

• Mascara extending fiber and fluid, a separate lashes and a long finish
• Water resistant to tears, sweat, sebum is proof

This is my HG mascara, hands down. The brush is very different to all other mascaras as it's more like a plastic comb that allows you to reach all your lashes. It separates your lashes while you are putting on product. It holds a curl really well and can extend your lashes to quite long. It does a good job on my stiff Asian lashes. It lasts all day without flaking or smudging. Im very impressed.

• Lancome Hypnose Drama

Product Features :

• Unique, oversized brush provides full contact with lashes for ultimate volume.
• Delivers maximum lash coating with immediate load gives lashes instant volume.
• Fluid, creamy gliding formula evenly coats lashes from toor to tip for buildable volume
• Promises intense, deep color
• Fragrance-Free, Ophthamologist Tested, Safe for contact lens wearers.

I purchased this one and thinking this would be much better than the original Hypnose. And this is just okay. First, i don't like the smell, is it just me or this mascara really has a weird smell? Second, this mascara does nothing on my lashes, it has no lengthening effect and no volume at all. It gives spidery eyelashes look and clumps.

• Makeup Forever Smoky Lash in blue

Product Features :

Smoky Lash enhances lashes, for exceptional volume, infinite length and ultimate curl. Its formula is rich in ultra-fine mineral pigments to create the perfect smoky look.

I'd been using the black one, but i just bought this because i loveeee the color. The blue is beautiful and bright. The brush is thick, the formula gives volume in clumps and a little length to my lashes. But this is not waterproof and flakes around the day. So i'm just using it as a top coat of my mascara to give little bit color. 

So, which mascara that you prefer? ;)

Visine S.O.S

 Wohoooo, so happy to know that this little thing can do 'magic'! Always keep one in your bag. :)

1. Painful crack lips? ugh no no. To combat a flaky pout, apply a little Visine on a cotton ball and swipe. Follow up with a moisturizing lip balm. (try : La Mer The Lip Balm) 
2. To bring out the most of your eyeshadow color, put one or two drops Visine on your brush , tap and swipe brush on tissue, and it's ready to use.
3. It sucks to wake up with a bright red, glaring pimple. To reduce the redness of that killing spot, dab Visine on a cotton ball and press it gently for a few seconds.
4. And last, as we already know, visine can also reduce irritation and redness of the eye too! ;p

Is there anything Visine can't do?

August Favess

I loveee trying new beauty products! :D Let me tell you what i've been dying for.

Shiseido Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Mascara 

NO mascara is as nearly as good as this one (to me at least). It lengthens well, holds curl well, builds well, doesn't smudge and lasts all day. Highly highly recommended. For me t's crazy lengthening waterproof mascara.

H2O+ Urban Defense Facial Cleansing Milk

A gentle, calming cleanser for sensitive skin to neutralize irritants without drying with Oxysomes, Anti -  Pollution System and Triple Tea Complex. Love this non-drying, subtle and pleasent scent cleanser. Suitable for sensitive skin.

MAVALA Mava-dry spray

I followed the directions and applied my polish and top coat as directed. I waited 1 minute and sprayed and my nails were dry within 10 minutes. Recommended for those of you who don't have time to wait for your nails to dry.

What is your HG products?
