February Favorites

Hello guys
It's been a while since my last post
Last month i don't post my monthly favorites because i don't have too many products to show so i kinda save it all for this post
So this is actually my january and february favorites products xD
 
 
Aritaum Full Cover Concealer
I've been loving this concealer so much for the past months
It's been my go to product since i don't like to put a lot of base makeup so i just spot concealing and just go.
It's so nice, the coverage is nice and it blends wonderful
I really loving this product a lot
 
Hourglass Ambient Blush in Luminous Flush
I've been using this blush a lot for the past two months mostly because i love how it appear on my cheek.
This blush just so pigmented and appear very lovely
One other thing i love about it i don;t need to put highlighter on top of my cheekbone since it already gives a subtle glow to the cheek
 
Etude House Dr Mascara Fixer Long Lash and Benefit They're Real Mascara
The best combo i ever try so far.
I was really intrigued to try this mascara fixer from etude house
It really change my lash games this past months.
The fixer help my lashes stay curled for as long as possible and since it has fiber in it, it kinda help make my lashes appear longer.
Pair it with the benefit they're real mascara just make my lashes looks ten times better.
 
3CE Single Eyeshadow in Bad Romance and Aritaum Shine Fix Eyes no.5
This is my other favorites combo too for the eyes
I put the 3CE all over the lid then put the shine fix eyes on the center just for nice pop on the eyes.
I really like the combo so much since i've been digging kinda rose gold eyeshadow look
So this two is definitely perfect together.
 
 
Burberry Lip Definer in Tea Rose
Recently i've been loving to use lip liner instead of lipstick
This lip liner fr Burberry definitely perfect for my taste since it's so creamy and the color itself is very pretty
Whenever i wear it alone it feels like my lips look fuller
It's very long lasting as well too xD.
 
So that's all for this months favorites
Hope you enjoy my post and i will try my best to post more this months xD.
 
xoxo

VDAY Makeup Challenge by RiniCesillia X EtudeRecipe

Halooooooo ^.^
Post kali ini tentang Makeup Challenge yang diadakan RiniCesillia dan Etude Recipe.
Mereka mengadakan makeup challenge bagi para wanita manapun dengan tema Valentine K-pop Makeup.
Nah karna tergiur banget sama hadiah yang diberikan maka saya pengen ikutan dengan mempost makeup look buat valentine yang terinspirasi dari style ala korean girls.
http://www.rinicesillia.com/2015/02/valentine-day-k-pop-makeup-challenge.html
Inspirasi saya kali ini datang dari foto yang saya temukan di google
Pada tau Han Ji Min ngga ???
Nah kalau kalian memang penggemar berat K-Drama pasti pada tahu, soalnya Han Ji Min adalah aktris yang membintangi drama Rooftop Prince dan yang lagi on going sekarang Hyde Jekyll, Me (bareng Hyun Bin ><).
Aku suka banget sama makeup Han Ji Min dalam campaign Spring Collection 2015 bareng Lancome.
Menurutku makeup dia di campaign dengan Lancome betul betul flawless dan sangat cantik.

Nah dari gambar ini, saya terinspirasi untuk merekreasikan ulang makeup ala Han Ji Min ini untuk digunakan pas Valentine day :D.





Seperti yang terlihat pada gambar campaign Han Ji Min, kunci utama dari makeup korea adalah kulit yang tampak flawless
Untuk tampil seperti itu aku menggunakan concealer dari Aritaum dan BB Cushion dari IOPE.
Yang buat aku suka banget sama BB Cushion dari IOPE ini selain coveragenya yang lumayan (light to medium) hasil akhir dari Cushion ini juga bikin kulit keliatan lebih glowing dan cerah jadi benar-benar terlihat seperti makeup ala korean girls.
Setelah itu aku menggambar alisku dengan eyebrow pencil dari Etude House.
Pada bagian mata, saya mulai dengan memakai warna peachy pink shadow dari etude house, disapukan ke seluruh kelopak mata. Kemudian saya memakai sedikit shadow warna rose gold dari Revealed 2 palette di bagian tengah kelopak mata dan pada seluruh bagian bawah mata menggunakan pencil brush.


Untuk eyeliner, terlihat dari foto Han Ji Min tidak membuat wing liner dan eyelinernya dipakai sangat dekat dengan garis mata.
Karna saya merasa menggunakan eyeliner hitam terlalu mencolok, jadi kali ini saya menggunakan brown liner dan dipakai sedekat mungkin ke garis mata agar terlihat lebih natural.
Difoto terlihat Han Ji Min menggunakan false lashes, tapi karena saya tidak punya model false lashes seperti itu saya hanya menggunakan mascara pada bagian atas dan bawah mata.

Di bagian pipi,saya menggunakan blush dengan warna rosy peach untuk kesan lebih natural kemudian saya memakai liquid highlighter dari 3CE pada bagian tulang pipi dan tulang hidung untuk kesan pipi yang tinggi dan lebih glowing.
Untuk mendapatkan warna peachy pada lip seperti Han Ji Min saya menggunakan Innisfree cream lipstick warna coral dan menyapukan sedikit glosses dari Maybelline agak bibir terlihat lebih full dan glossy.


Sooo itu dia makeup look yang saya recreate terinspirasi dari Han Ji Min
Gimana menurut kalian ? Hehe

  O ya guys, makeup challenge ini bisa diikuti siapa saja bahkan jika kalian ngga punya blog.
Untuk rulesnya klik disini.
Ada hadiah menarik loh buat para pemenang jadi jangan sampai ketinggalan xD.

Semoga kalian suka sama makeup look ini
Dan jika ada pertanyaan atau comment feel free untuk comment dibawah ^.^

REVIEW : LA GIRL Lip Glazed

Hi guys
Today i have another lip products review for you guys.
It is from the brand call LA GIRL.
Have you ever heard about this brand?
It is very famous in USA especially the concealer which is highly rave all over USA (the La Pro Concealer).
Now i wanna review their lip products which is very highly rave too just like the concealer
It is call the Lip Glazed


The packaging is very simple
Just a simple tube packaging.
It doesn't have a cushion applicator like the Etude or Too faced
The applicator is just made of plastic and nothing special about it.



How about the product itself??
Well the actual lip product is actually very nice.
It almost feel like a liquid lipstick,the consistency of it is very liquidy not creamy one.
The finishes is more to the glossy side but very very pigmented.
It may feels like lipgloss but definitely opaque and not sticky on the lips.
The lip glazed smell very minty probably because it has peppermint oil in it.
Lots of blogger and youtuber said it is the dupe for the Too Faced Melted Lipstick, but for me it slightly different in texture. The too faced one has more like cream texture and when apply on the lips
 it leaves more creamy finish not glossy.
For the price, it is very affordable. I bought mine for about 65k per tube.



Sadly because of the glossy finish, i don't think it lasts quite long
You do have to reapply after drinking or eating but it leaves a little bit of stain on the lips even after wear off.
Another minus for me, it's little bit hard to apply due to the very liquid-y form of this lipstick.
So i do recommend to apply it with lip brushes.
I find it very easy to feathering on the lips if  not using lip liner before ><.



I bought 7 colors that attract me from 18 colors total
Definitely has a lot of choices depends on your preference.

So that's all my opinion of this LA Girl Lip Glazed
Hope you enjoy my post

Tarte Pin Up Girl Blush Palette

I always so excited when cosmetics company do their holiday collection
It's not just because it somehow limited edition but the price point is super amazing
I kinda eye-ing tarte amazonian clay blush for a while now but don't that excited to buy it
But when they do this blush palette, i was pretty much excited and decided to get it right away.

It's part of tarte christmas collection on 2014
I really intrigue about it mainly because of the price point.
One blush pan of tarte amazonian clay blush cost $29 a pan, while this package only cost $42
Quiet a great reason to try the famous blush formula from tarte of course.

I really like how they designed the palette
It comes with beautiful purple theme box which i know is part of tarte signature color and they made this palette look like a clutch.
Another bonus point of this palette is they give you 2 complimentary vintage pin that actually you can used on your hair, but i don't cause i think it looks jus as pretty if it pin up to the palette


It comes with 5 different blush shade that not parts of tarte regular blush color
It claimed to be limited edition to this palette only so it's kinda a bummer if you somehow like one of the color you can't simply get it outside this set.

( from left to right : breathless, embraced, whimsy, bashful and irreplaceable)

The color variety that this palette got totally suit my preferences.
Breathless is describe as pinky beige color, embraced is describe as plummy rose, whimsy is described as light pink, bashful is describe as rosy peach and irreplaceable is describe as mauve rose.
Breathless, whimsy and irreplaceable are matte finish while the other two have slightly shimmer but not to much.
All four shade have great pigmentation except Breathless.
I find that breathless is a little too light and not quite show off on the skin ><
But the others are perfectly fine
My most favorite is Bashful cause it give such a nice peachy color on the cheek and because of the shimmer it looks even more beautiful.
This blush stay on the cheek pretty long, as claim on tarte that their blush
 stay on for 12 hours which is such a great thing in my opinion.
Another great thing is this blush is formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, gluten and dermatologist tested.



For me this palette is definitely worth to try
And i think this is one of the best holiday collection that you probably will love cause it has 5 different color so it will be perfect addition if you're makeup artist or probably enjoy travel cause you can save space just by bringing this palette :)

If you can't get your hand on YSL Rosy Coral #dupealert

Hi guys
As promise on my last post today i have a dupe alert for you
Last two month i'd been obsessed with YSL Rosy Coral which more famous as "Cheon Song Yi Lipstick".
That lipstick probably become number one best seller on YSL counter this far cause everytime i try to buy it on the counter it will always out of stock and the SA will tell you to write your name in a super duper long list if they finally stock it again.
So goes the battle if you wanna purchase it from online shop
Lots of online shop sell it very overprice (much more expensive than buying in OTC)
So for you guys who wanna get the same vibe but don't wanna bother with the extra long list, overprice tag and many other reason, here's a dupe for you.
While i was cleaning and reorganizing my lipstick collection, i found an old lipstick of mine.
Not that old, i probably bought it last year xD.
It comes from Maybelline Color Sensational Collection
I was a little bit skeptical about it but the more i swatch it and the more i use it, it really looks quite similar


YSL Rosy Coral cost about Rp 450k (around $36) while the Maybelline one only cost about Rp 80k (around $6)
Quite different price tag right
But it is trully similar?
Well they looks similar in color but the formula is totally different.
As i mention in my previous post, i found YSL Rosy Coral very creamy and glide on smoothly on the lips while the Maybelline one is very creamy too but not as smooth when you glide it on your lips.
The finishes is somehow quite different too.
Eventhough both of this lipstick offer a very creamy formula, but the Maybelline somehow looks 
more glossy on the lips while the YSL have that semi matte finishes.
The color on swatches is quite similar but have slightly different tone

(Left : Maybelline Coral Crush ; Right : YSL Rosy Coral)

As you can see on the picture Maybelline is more like a true coral tone while the YSL has more pink on the coral
But like i said before, on the lips it is not very different at all
Maybelline one gives just the same effect like the YSL, that kinda coral-ly color.

So that is the closest dupe i could find for the YSL Rosy Coral.
What do you think?
Would you still spend more money to get the same lipstick Cheon Song Yi wear or probably you just wanna get the vibe and don't wanna spend a lot of money on a lipstick?
It is all up to you :)
If you have any other dupe for this just comment down below xD
