Weekend Haul!

Sekarang kalo jalan ke mall aku mulai ada hobby baru. Cari kebutuhan make-up X) Ya kadang walaupun gak butuh juga dicari aja siih... 

Tapi gak, kali ini aku beli karena aku emang butuh karena ada beberapa kosmetik yang sudah expired. Sebenarnya masih dalam waktu yang aman digunakan, tapi kan ada masa pakai dari sejak buka segel jadi biar aman mending dibuang aja.

Haul from Xiao Vee's Blog Sale : The Faceshop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Blackhead Heating Gel Mask

Yes yes, I know, panjang yak judulnya? X)

Pernah ikut blog sale?? Kalo yang suka ikut, ini adalagi yang baru. Kalo yang belum nah silakan mampir ke sini nih : Xiao Vee's Blog Sale

Jadiii... hasil dari iseng-iseng blog walking dan kepo baca postingan blogger yang aku follow... aku terjebak dilema di blog sale nya Xiao Vee ini (alesan). Gimana gak dilema, di situ ada banyak banget kosmetik dan skin care yang masih bagus kondisinya, tapi harganya itu yang bikin galau.. miring banget harganya!

Dari banyak barang yang dijual di blog Xiao Vee, ada satu nih yang bikin aku naksir berat karena sempat baca reviewnya di salah satu blog (yang aku lupa namanya apa)
: The Faceshop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Blackhead Heating Gel Mask (yes I know, that long name). Kebetulan dia jual dengan harga murah banget yaitu Rp 40.000 aja gituu! Ya gak perlu babibu lagi langsung deh kontak Xiao Vee by e-mail.

Besoknya langsung dijawab sama Xiao Vee, hore! Setelah hitung total termasuk ongkir aku langsung transfer dan voila! Barang tiba di rumah 2 hari kemudian (karena Xiao Vee di Surabaya dan aku di Jakarta jadi waktu pengiriman 2 hari).

She's so nice and very responsible for the package. Masker tersebut dilapis bubble wrap jadi terjaga keamanannya. Ternyata memang betul masker ini masih full persis seperti deskripsinya : Preloved 99%

Book haul: Inferno, Cuckoo's Calling, Jacatra Secret

Hi, how are you guys?

Hope you're having a great Monday.

Although we are now in digital era, I still cannot get used myself to reading e-book. Yet a table was supposed to be used as an e-book reader, I enjoy reading the on paper written stories. There's an authentic feeling that is irreplaceable reading a printed book which cannot be felt on e-book. Call me conventional, but that's just how it goes for me.

It has been months since I bought a book, it was "Litigator" by John Grisham, my very first book of Grisham's. Turned out it was not that bad! Now after I finished that book, I'm up to new ones. 

Yesterday I bought this three books:

1. Inferno by Dan Brown

2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (the pseudonym of J.K Rowling)

3. Jactra Secret by Rizki Ridyasmara

First haul on 2014 : Etude , Happy New Year!

Hi!

It's been ages I haven't write new update. A lot of things happen and I didn't manage to write my blog. Well, I guess I need to be more discipline from now! How are you doing? Firstly I'd like to say Happy New Year!! What is your resolution for this year? Have you accomplished your last year resolution? I haven't. Still got many things to do, but I'm still excited as ever for this year ^_^

Now I want to share my Etude Haul. This is my very first haul of the year 2014. It was actually not on my plan, I was about to buy Etude eye primer at first but then I stumbled upon their cute nail polish! So I bought these things and I got some bonus!

1. Proof 10 Eye Primer

I have been reading about this product in make up alley , it is said to be the dupe of the famous Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion. With the half price of the UDPP, you can get the same result. So I decided to give it a try. 

I never use eye primer before. Instead of the eye primer, I bought Shu Uemura cream shadow because they said cream eyeshadow can give you the same effect eye primer would. But unfortunately my Shue Uemura eye cream shadow was too white and too sparkly and sometimes my eyeshadow would not stay because I have an oily eyelid. So I decided to buy a real eye primer. 

Now on to the Etude Proof 10 Eye Primer. This one cost me IDR 178.000 at the Etude House in Gandaria City Mall, twice the price on the online market like e-bay which cost only USD $5. But I don't really mind because this one is still not overprice.

Cute packaging ^_^

I don't know how I feel about this applicator. Maybe I'll find out later on

I love the texture and the staying power looks promising

2. Nail Polish

This is an accidental buying (yeah right hahaha...) 

I could not resist the colours really! But there were many things that made me fall in love with their nail polish. Such as the colours, the applicator, and the result! I bought two nail plush and one top coat. The price is IDR 98.000 each for the nail polish and IDR 48.000 for the top coat. I found this nail polish to be superb on that price because Faceshop offers the same price for their nail polish but I'm not a fan.

This one is actually grey, but the photo turns out to be a bit more purple

This tosca green is absolutely gorgeous!

The Etude Nail Polish has that thick texture but liquid enough so for one application should be enough. The final result without the top coat is amazing! Without the top coat you can get the shiny  colour and also quick dry. The applicator is a big brush that surely makes the polish easy to be applied on nail. 

Along with my purchase, I received three gifts :

- Mirror

- Collagen moistfull (some kind of serum)

- Earrings holder (big one!)

Happy? Of course! The nail polish will be on my next shopping list for sure! ;)

Thanks for dropping by, see you all soon!

Birthday Haul!

TGIF! 

Yesterday I went to Gandaria City, to buy art supplies for my illustration project on skillshare.com class. On my way to Paper Clip store, I saw a Skin Food outlet from a far, and I remember about this brand review from Kim Alston (A Very Sweet Blog) So I stopped by.

There was a large banner on the window display, it said : Disc 50% on your birthday! WAIT, WHAT?? Is this coincidence or what? Yesterday was my birthday, so... I tried my luck on to that store (fingers crossed)

The shop attendant greeted me and I jumped on to the question 

Me: "Is that promo still available today? Which products I could buy?" 

Him: "yes, miss. But only for minimum purchase of 1.000.000 IDR" 

And I went, WHAT? O.O 

Well that was actually my very first visit to Skin Food outlet so I didn't know their price range. I looked at the skincare products (of course!) and asked him which one suits my acne prone, combination skin. He showed me two products: Parsley&Mandarin skincare series and Tea tree. 

What's the difference? According to the brochure:

Tea Tree : Relieves troubled skin with natural tea tree oil.
Tea Tree is well known as medicine for disinfectant and relieve skin without irritating the skin.

Parsley & Mandarin: for scar recovery, antibacterial, and have strong anti allergic.
Parsley has Vit. A,C, and E. It has strong antioxidant and anti-allergif effects on troubled skin. So it is excellent for the anti-inflammatory.
Mandarin has more Vit. C than other alkaline foods. Its antibacterial effects are good for acne pronce skin or oily and combination skin. It's also effective for sebum control and scar recovery.
(AHA! Sounds like me)

I chose the Parsley&Mandarin. Because I still have my Mentholatum Acnes for the heavy acne, plus they have complete range from facial wash-toner-moisturizer-essence-night cream. The Tea Tree series available on limit range, they didn't stock the Tea Tree Cleansing Line series on that outlet.

Next item I picked was Papaya Yoghurt Mask. Because according to the SA, this mask suits my acne prone skin. There was Kiwi mask also, but I chose this Papaya because I know papaya has more benefit to reduce spots while kiwi benefit only for whitening and cleansing.

I also bought their eye shadow brush. I've lost mine recently, it was MAC blending brush :( so I need the replacement. I chose this brush because I like the bristle, it resembles my lost MAC brush.

1. Parsley&Mandarin Facial Foam

2. Parsley&Mandarin Day cream/moisturizer

3. Parsley&Mandarin Toner

4. Parsley&Mandarin Night Cream

5. Papaya Yoghurt Mask

6. Eyeshadow brush (L)

Total Purchase: around Rp 1.300.000, Disc 50% Rp 650.000 YAAAY!

What you need just show them your ID card or give them the copy of it, so they can have your date of birth record ;)

Another haul I did was Mentholatum Acnes, repurchase my facial wash and acne lotion

This is my first time buying the powder lotion. I wonder will it heals my acne..

I bought these products because I still have some large red acne on my face, so I need to clean it first. After that maybe I'll try to use the Skin Food. 

What about my art supplies? Of course I bought it, that's the reason why I was there ;D I'll post it in another time soon. 

Have a fab
