Aritaum Ginger Sugar Tinted Lip Balm #1 Flame Rose Review

hi everyone..!! i'm back with a new review..~~ lately i feel that my lips are dry and chapped everyday so i started to use lip balm and as you know, lip balm doesn't have any color on it, i have to double it with lipstick and that's too many works for me.. i admit it that i'm a lazy person, i don't bother do it at home before i go out, but if i have to do this when i'm hanging out with friends or doing other stuffs outside, nahhh... i don't have time and it's too complicated..!! 
and finally when i was searching on my favourite online shop Coccinelle Cosmetic , i found this item and decided to try it..~  

this product absolutely become one of my most favorite item right now..!! this is a must have product if you have dry lips but still want a color on it, let me introduce to you "Aritaum Ginger Sugar Tinted Lip Balm" i pick color #1 Flame Rose.. it's a red color but not that bright bold red, instead it's create a subtle soft red color, very pretty..!! 


Packaging

so as usual, we will start from the packaging, as you can see the packaging is a regular look of lip balm with the combination of red and black colors.. the selection of the font is suitable with light yellow color just like a ginger color irl.. i love the combinaton..!! and although Aritaum is a korean brand they use english on the product, giving a better understanding for others who don't read nor speak korean language.. nice..~ 





Product Description

although the product name is ginger sugar, but i can guarantee you that there's no smell of ginger nor sugar, i know some ppl isn't a fan of ginger.. and after i taste it, it taste like nothing, not sweet either.. it was all bland and i prefer the bland flavour than the sweet one to be honest.. hehe.. and as you can see from the picture below, it looks really red but later when i put it on it looks natural and pretty..~




Aritaum Ginger Sugar Tinted Lip Balm is available with 3 different shades Flame Rose, Lovely Pink, and Dreaming Coral.. here are the colors chart that i took from google search..

Aritaum Ginger Sugar Tinted Lip balm shades

Directions

just use it like a regular lip balm on dry lips, you can build up the intensity of the color, but it won't become a bold color because this is a tinted lip balm, not a lipstick..




Price : Rp 90.000,- 

Pros and Cons

Pros :

- gliding smoothly on my lips
- very moist
- long lasting color unless you drink or eat or wet your lips too often
- pretty red color, it looks natural, great for daily look
- no smell nor taste
- affordable

Cons :

- can only buy it via online because there's no official shop or real life store that sell Aritaum product
- and if there's no stock, you have to wait it or join the PO which take a very long time

Conclusion

i rate this product : 10/10

i really do love Aritaum Ginger Sugar Tinted Lip Balm and will repurchase it after i empty mine.. hehe.. i use it everyday and the color makes my face looks fresh.. so yeah it's a must have product for me, no more dry chapped lips..~

Balmbini Volume 2 Face Palette Review (Sponsored gift from Reine DollShop)

good day everyone..!!! i'm trying really hard to be consistent in posting a new post more often.. hehe.. so today's post is about "Balmbini Volume 2 Face Palette" from the Balm cosmetics and this is one of the gift that i got from Reine Dollshop, i will give the swatch of the colors and apply it on my face.. but i have to apologize first because i forgot to bring my brush set..!! so i only use the natural brush that every human has which is the fingers..~ and a lil help from cotton buds.. and let's start the review shall we??

Packaging


first as usual we will see the packaging first, this is actually my first palette from the Balm cosmetics so i am really excited to try it..!!

the front

the back

omg.. i really love the packaging design..!! so colorful and cute.. the explanation on the back is clear too and you can read it easily.. there's even an instruction to create a look using this palette, this kinda reminds me of my Em cosmetic Life Palette which give a few instructions too to create a different looks using their palette..

Product Description


and now let's see the inside, i wonder what colors this palette provide and is it pigmented or not? hehe.. but first let me explain that this palette contains 4 shadow/liner (it means you can use it as eyeshadow or eyeliner), 1 highlighter/shadow, 1 lip/cheek cream, 1 lip gloss.. i also provide the color swatches on my wrist on photo below..



color swatches

whoaa.. love the colors..!! and it's very pigmented.. you really can create a full look by using this palette only.. so i will give a description for the colors, i already mark each of the colors with alphabet letters on the picture above..

- a : this is a lipgloss called "Nude"
- b : this is a lip/cheek cream called "Strawberry"
- c : this is a shadow/liner called"Lavis Latoya"
- d : this is a shadow/liner called "Open to Offers Olwen"
- e : this is a shadow/liner called "Manic Maribel"
- f : this is a shadow/liner called "Jinxy Jasmyne"
- g : this is a highlighter/shadow called "Promiscuous Pearl"

almost all the eyeshadows except the black one have glitters on it and they really have beautiful colors.. i love the highlighter especially when you put it on your brow bone, it isn't too sparkly and shiny but not matte also, it's just there and brings out the brow bone out.
i will try to do the look that they put on the back of the box, but as i said before, i forgot to bring my brushes so i did everything with my fingers and cotton buds, some of the photos quality also wasn't that great because i haven't found my camera charger, but i hope it's clear enough.. thank you for the understanding..!!

Directions



How to get the look "Balmbini Volume 2" :


- prep your face first with your basic skincare then primer, continue with bb cream or foundation, concealer and done.. don't put any powder first because later i will apply the cream blusher.
- then continue for the eye makeup, apply the eyeshadow primer, after that on the inner corner use the purple eyeshadow the one that called"Lavis Latoya", and use the green color called "Open to Offers Olwen" on the center and outer corner of the eyelid.


apply the purple and green eyeshadow

"Lavish Latoya"
"Open to Offers Olwen"
- then i use the gold color eyeshadow called "Manic Maribel" above the purple and green color, put it little by little to build up the intensity, i prefer it not too bold but still visible and don't forget to blend them well

apply the gold eyeshadow

"Manic Maribel"
- next, i apply the black eyeshadow called "Jinxy Jasmyne" on the outer corner only, just to deepen and darken the eye a lil bit, and blend the color, as you can see the black color isn't too bold and it doesn't affect the other colors.. actually if you dip ur brush with water and use this color, it can be a substitute to your eyeliner, well it works for the other colors as well.. but i prefer using my own liquid eyeliner since you know i have this oily eyelid and afraid the eyeshadow will smudge all over.. hehe..

black eyeshadow on the outer corner only

"Jinxy Jasmyne"
- after that i use the pearl highlighter called "Promiscuous Pearl" on my brow bone, gosh i really love this color..!!


pearl highlighter on the brow bone


"Promiscuous Pearl"
 - after that i apply my favorite eyeliner ,K-palette 24 hour eyeliner and for the lower lash line, i'm using 3 colors they are green, purple, and pearl color.. i started from the outer with green one and because i don't have any brush, i'm using the help of cotton buds on this part, next on the inner corner i'm using the pearl color all the way to the middle and last but not least the purple color in the middle, blend them well.


- tadaaa..!! the eyeshadow part is done..!! next curl the lashes, and apply the mascara on upper and lower lash. don't forget to fill in your eyebrow..!! products that i used :
mascara : maybelline lash stiletto
eyebrow : VOV auto eyebrow pencil


- for the cheek, i'm gonna use the cheek cream the one that called "strawberry", never use powder before applying cream blusher or you will end up with cakey makeup..! i pat down the cheek cream on the apple of my cheek and blend it carefully, i love the color..!! so natural..~
don't forget to powder after applying the cheek cream.. or if you into that dewy look you can leave the powder..!


"Strawberry"
- and for the lips, i use the strawberry lip/cheek cream color again and layer it with "nude" color lipgloss..


"nude"
 - and it's done..!! do you like the result? give comment and let me now..!! i'm open for any tips and suggestions..~

before after

Price : i don't know the exact price for this because i got it as a gift, but i guess it's around Rp 400.000,- ??? i'm just guessing, you can ask Reine Dollshop for the exact price, the owner is very kind and patient, ready to answer all of my questions, oh and fast response too..!! i will give the contact information down below..~


Pros and Cons


Pros :

- all the products, eyeshadows, lipgloss, lip/cheek cream are very pigmented
- multi functional palette, 1 palette can do a lot of things
- perfect size if you want to bring it for travelling
- gorgeous colors..!!

Cons :

- this product may be pretty pricey for some ppl, but i would say that it's not pricey because u can make a complete look just from this palette, imagine that you can save ur money for other things..!!
- well, just like jordana, it's hard to find this brand in Indonesia, you can only purchase it online

Conclusion



i rate this product : 10/10

whoaaa... yeah it's a high review but i feel super satisfied with this palette and of course i already thinking about purchasing another palette from the balm..!! i am really interested in their products..!!

so that's it guys..!! it's a wrap..!! i hope you enjoy this post, thx for reading and give me any feedback because i'm still learning, really appreciate it!! see ya..~~

Jordana Best Lash Extreme and Jordana Fabu Liner Review (sponsored gift from Reine DollShop)

Hello everyone..!!!! i'm back..!! did you miss me??!! hehe.. so i'm trying to be more consistence here to write a new blog post every week..!! *wish me luck...* i will try my best to fulfill my promise, i do..! ;)

today i want to review about Jordana Best Lash Extreme and Jordana Fabu Liner, i got these products from Reine Dollshop .. hehe.. so i'm gonna keep this blog short and simple and let's start the review..~



first up is Jordana Best Lash Extreme, i love mascara..!! that's why i am so excited to receive new product to try..!! mascara i a must have item for me because i don't like wearing fake eyelashes all the time, i only wear them for photoshoot, blogging, party, and special occasions.. so mascara is my bff..!! so let's review on the packaging first, it's a usual regular mascara design.. nothing really special from the outside but i do love the colors combination, black and purple for the font.. so this is a black mascara #301 black, and you can see all the details on pics below..~




for the wand itself, well i kinda love it, it's small and easy to apply on my lash.. i think this is a great wand for under eyelash..!! really love it..<3




so what i know is this mascara is NOT waterproof, but i never had any trouble when using it, no flaking or smudging to be honest.. isn't it great? i love using this one for daily use because the results is very natural and not too thick.. i will show you guys how it look when i put it on, also with my before and after photos for you to judge by yourself after i review the eyeliner..




Pros :

~ NOT a waterproof mascara, but there's no flaking or even smudging, perfect for a natural daily makeup
~ a perfect wand for lower eyelash
~ not clumpy
~ long wear


Cons :

~ can only be purchase online, there's no store that sell this brand here in Indonesia
~ for me the formula is too dry unlike the maybelline mascara


i rate this product 7/10


do i want to purchase another one? perhaps.. i am a lazy person so it kinda hard for me if i have to order an item when i ran out of it, especially sometimes the online shop got no stock of the item and i have to pre order it (wait again..!! duh...).. but overall it's a great non waterproof mascara.. ;)




now for the eyeliner, Jordana Fabu Liner.. what a great and fabulous name..!! LOL.. so it's a typical regular eyeliner design, it's black with gold font on it.. this is a black eyeliner #01 black..~




well, just like the mascara, this product is NOT waterproof, yeahh it's not... i don't recommend this to ppl who have oily eyelids like mine because it will smear or smudge..!! i like to make a wing on the end of my eyes and it smeared at the wing and also on the inner corner of my eyes, sometimes when my eyes get watery it will smudge and make me look like a panda..!! oh god.. but to be honest it's a great eyeliner applicator, the tip is thick like a marker, great for making a thick straight line..




the eyeliner color itself is actually quite bold, and you can build up the intensity to be bolder, for me one stroke is enough.. so this is the before and after using both Jordana best lash extreme and Jordana fabu liner, i'm sorry for the photos quality, the after photos are pretty bad because i'm using my front camera of my phone.. i am still searching my pocket camera charger so please be patient about my photos quality..!!


before

after

Pros :

~ it's a great product to create a thick line, you don't need too many strokes
~ easy to clean because it's not a waterproof eyeliner
~ the color is pretty bold
~ easy to use


Cons :

~ not suitable for those with oily eyelids, because it will smear and smudge everywhere
~ hard to find because there's no store that sell Jordana Cosmetics



i rate this product : 4/10


i rate this eyeliner so low just because it doesn't work for me, my eyelids are very oily and almost all eyeliner kinda smudge on me, not only this one.. clearly, i won't purchase another one, just hoping that this is a waterproof product.. >o<
but if your eyelid isn't oily like mine, you should give this a try.. who knows it will be a holy grail to you..!!

so that's it..!! it's all a wrap for this post.. i hope you guys like it and i will continue creating a new blog post every week..!!! thx for reading and give me any feedback, i will appreciate it..!! see ya..~~

Coccinelle Powder Shampoo (sponsored)

Hello everyone..!!!! i'm back..!! did you miss me??!! haha.. sorry it's been awhile since my last post.. well i will try to be more consistence to write a new blog post.. i have tons of stuffs are waiting to be review~~

right now i am preparing to opened my business with my sister and my brother in law, she's a fashion designer, i'm a makeup artist, and he is specialized on wedding decoration.. our store name is Wisteria Beauty Design, some of you probably already know this from my facebook account.. so finally i have my own makeup studio..!! yay..~~
so you can see our portfolios from instagram @wisteriabeautydesign or our facebook page Wisteria Beauty Design .. don't forget to follow and like..!! thank you..!!

ok before we start the review, i want to apologize for those amazing ppl who sponsored their products to me because i postponed my blogging activity.. i do feel bad and awful for this delay, but i hope you guys can understand why i had to postpone because i am busy preparing my makeup studio.. thank you..:)
oh and one more thing, i lost my camera charger so until i can find the substitute, i have to use my phone camera instead.. i hope the quality is good enough..  :(

so back to the topic, today i want to review about powder shampoo or you can say it's a dry shampoo.. if you follow my blog probably you will know that i LOVE dry shampoo because i got damaged and dry hair from my hobby to keep changing hair color.. haha.. so dry shampoo is my best friend, i don't shampoo too often because it will strip down the natural oil and make my hair drier than before, so yeah i'm exciting when my dear friend Coccinelle Cosmetic asking me to review her powder shampoo.. usually i'm using Batiste dry shampoo but since it's a spray bottle thingy i got stopped at the airport and they don't allow me to bring it, it's so hard to travel around without dry shampoo, i got freaked out and perhaps this powder shampoo can be a substitute for my Batiste..

as usual, we will start from the design.. it comes in a can with sticker all around it, it's a cute design by the way with rabbit and circus theme, it's a homemade product from the looks of it and it's a very nice work.. 



it's a pretty tight container because i bring this to travel around from Surabaya to my hometown, Lombok island by plane and it never spill or anything..!! and it's not too big so it will fit to place on ur luggage or even your bag..!! perhaps if you got late night flight or arrived early in the morning, you can use it and make ur hair look fresh again.. so let's see the inside shall we??



as you can see it is powdery, but it smells so fragrant and good..!! at first glance you might think that it was a regular powder, what's the difference? it could be baby powder or any powder in there..!! but no it's not, after i take a closer look the composition or the texture is more like castor sugar.. so it is definitely different and this is how it looks when i put it on my second hair day which is kinda oily because i just pre-poo my hair with coconut oil for few hours before i took a shower.. 

how to use : use a large brush usually powder brush to apply it on your hair and comb it thoroughly..


left before, right after

you can't really see the difference in the photo above, but for me it is different.. i can feel it when i touch my hair, the oil is decreasing and i feel that my hair is become a lil bit stiffer, i guess it become stiff because the powder suck in all the oil.. but that's ok though because i hate oily hair, and it will gone when you wash it.. so no harm to your hair and you can look good and fresh for the day..~
and if you wondering, Coccinelle powder shampoo has 4 variants which are black forest,  snowy field, matcha meadow, and chocolate dessert.. wow even the names are sound yummy..!! i choose snowy field tho because i always thought that dry shampoo always have a white color.. i wanna try the brown one next time because the white color kinda make my hair look greyish a little.. haha..~

taken from Coccinelle's facebook
 Pros :

- it's pretty cheap, only Rp 55.000,- and you only need a little of it, remember less is more..!!
- easy to use
- great size for travelling, you can even move it to a smaller container if you like
- smells great
- my hair isn't oily anymore after using this product

Cons :

- my hair become a little stiff because the powder absorb all the oil
- you have to buy it online, so i advice you to purchase it before ur product is empty


i rate this product : 10/10

overall it's a great product, absolutely gonna repurchase it..!! i am super satisfied and this powder shampoo will be added to my must have item list.. so happy that it works..~

thx everyone for reading my blog, i will try to post more and wish me luck..!! hope there's no further distraction because i really do miss blogging.. hehe.. have a nice day, see ya..~~!!

Manic Panic Cleo Rose Review and a lil tips for you..~

hey everyone..!! as i promised on my last post, i will give you a review about my new hair color using manic panic again.. this time i choose "Cleo Rose" as recommended by the seller, because i still want a pink color, but with a darker shade.. i was confused want to choose between Cleo Rose or Hot Hot Pink? then the seller told me that Cleo Rose will faded away with a pretty pink color, so yeah why not?? hehe..

well, as you know, my pink cadillac has faded away, leaving my hair back to blonde in a week..~~ that's the reason why i choose darker color, so it can last longer, and it did by the way.. hehe.. but first, let's see the product..!! i buy the classic cream one, because amplified colors range are so little, while classic cream has more variety..



classic cream come in a jar look, while amplified is more like bottle.. i like the jar one because it's easier to scoop in and take the cream out.. here's the more detailed photos of the product itself, you can see the directions and ingredients..










i won't write much about the details because you can see and read them directly from those photos above, let's move on to the next one.. i will tell you what you need before starting to dye your hair, oh yeah i done this on my own, thx to youtube channel..!!! <3

what you need are :
- manic panic hair dye
- a pair of plastic/rubber gloves
- a bowl
- comb & brush for dyeing
- hair band / hair clip
- vaseline petroleum jelly
- shower cap


ok, before starting, please keep in mind that this will be a messy procedure, use a shirt that you don't mind getting stain on it, take off all the accessories, and cover your floor with old newspaper..

How to :

- the first step is to wash your hair using shampoo only, don't put any conditioner, because conditioner work as a barrier between your hair and the hair dye itself, so the color won't come in
- blow dry your hair until it's really dry and comb it thoroughly
- apply vaseline petroleum jelly around your hair line, neck, and ears, so the hair dye doesn't stain your skin
- now make a section of your hair, i like to do it from the bottom part, and clip the rest of the hair up
- put on the gloves and take out some of the hair dye into the bowl
- now take some part of your bottom hair and comb it once again, then take the color using your finger or the brush for hair dye (i prefer using my hand, i don't like to use the brush because it takes so much time, but it's up to you, suit yourself with the one you like)
- as i mentioned above, i'm using my hand/finger to apply the hair dye so i apply it thoroughly and rub each section of the hair with palm of my hand until the color spreads well and through




the photo above is illustration only, because i can't take any pictures during the process..
- next one is to make sure that all of the bleached part are covered, add color to any part that needs more color and rub them all once again
- after you sure that there's no missing parts, tie up your hair into a bun and put on the shower cap
- leave it for as long as you can, manic panic is super safe because it's vegan product so there's no side effect whatsoever, i leave mine for 3 hours..!! the longer you wait the better it will turns out..~
- after that rinse your hair with cold water away from your face, rinse it until the water runs almost clear
- you can blow dry it if you wanna see the results or just let it air dry, less damage to the hair
- and it's done..!!!

now you must be wondering if there any special routines to maintain the hair color?? yes there is..!! i will tell you everything that i know and everything that i have learned so far to maintain the color as long as possible..

- don't wash your hair 2-3 days after you dye it, leave it as long as you can
- wash your hair with cold water, as cold as you can
- avoid using too hot styling tools
- use heat protection when u do need to use styling tools
- and also don't wash your hair to often after that, i wash my hair once every 2 or 3 days depends on my hair condition, if it's a little greasy i use dry shampoo instead, because more often you wash more faster the color will fade away.. i'm using batiste dry shampoo, it's really working on my greasy hair and last long for the day..


- and for the shampoo itself, you have to choose shampoo that focused to maintain colored hair, i already try herbal essence and L'oreal.. i was searching for Herbal Essence Color Me Happy and they don't sell it Indonesia, so i went to a supermarket called Papaya here in Surabaya, they usually sell imported stuffs and finally i found it..!! Herbal Essence Color Me Happy is famous for colored hair, that's why i really want to try it.. hehe.. i will tell you the difference between each of these shampoo :

       * the first one is L'oreal color vive protecting shampoo and conditioner, makes my hair super soft, great texture, unfortunately my scalp is getting greasy so fast, just in a day when using these products..

L'oreal color vive

       * the second one is Herbal Essence Colour Me Shiny, you can find it anywhere in Indonesia, also give a soft results to my hair, not as greasy as L'oreal, but still the oil appear faster..

Herbal Essence Colour Me Shiny

       * the last one is Herbal Essence Color Me Happy, if you are in Surabaya, you can bought it on Papaya, it's an imported product from America and only have a big size, the price is around Rp.75.000,- .. now u may think that it looks the same with colour me shiny, but it's not, i don't get as much oil on my scalp until 2 days.. although when i wash my hair using this, it feels a lil bit dry not as moisture like those 2 products above, but only with conditioner it gets smooth again.. so no problem, i really love this one and recommended to you guys..!! yes it's kinda pricey, but hey u have to do the best for your hair to maintain it's color right? =)

Herbal Essence Color Me Happy
- and last trick is to mix some of the hair dye to the conditioner, it will layer your hair with a lil bit of color so it won't faded so fast.. if you have super dry hair people dilute conditioner with hair dye so it have a less damaging results when they colored their hair, but many ppl complain that the color won't stand out that much and faded away even more faster than usual..




well that's it for the tips, and if you wonder, i still have some leftovers after dying my hair.. but when i did the pink cadillac color, it's not enough using 1.. i'm kinda confused here, probably darker color = less product to use?? hahaha..


the pro's and con's will be similar, and some is same with my older post because it's the same product after all, only different color..

Pros :

- don't have smell because it's a vegan product, so it doesn't ruined or damage ur hair
- many range of colors
- conditioning the hair, yep that is so true..!! i can feel my hair become so smooth after dyeing it with manic panic..!!
- don't have any side effect
- semi permanent..!! i can change my hair color everytime it turn back to blonde..~
- this cleo rose color is on my hair for almost 2 weeks now, it faded slowly but not as fast as pink cadillac, really satisfied with this color..!!
- i still got some leftovers left..!! what a shock..!!

Cons :

- pricey, but hey.. quality equals with the price, this product doesn't dried out or damage our hair, so why not??
- stained the skin even if you let it stay for few seconds, and my clothes get stained everywhere, can't get rid of it even after wash

my rating for manic panic cleo rose is 10/10 .. great color, so vibrant..~

as i said before, i really love manic panic and satisfied with the results, what kind of color should i try next??? what do you think??? hehehe.. as usual i purchased this from @petite.lady ..

thx for reading my post and enjoy the results photos..~~
don't hesitate to ask me anything.. i will give you my best answer.. see you on my next post..!!! <3
