REVIEW: ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY BLOOMING LIPS TALK #PK001

Hello my fellow gorgeous!
Now, what do I have here?
*innocent look*

Another lipstick!
If you are a lipstick junkie like me, you know how satisfying it is to purchase one.
Anyhoo, remember when I received a voucher from Etude House Indonesia,
this is one of the product that I purchased, truthfully, I wanted to spend all of the voucher on lipstick.

But! I decided not to, instead I ended up buying 2 shower gels and 2 eye shadows :P
but today, I am going to review this lipstick!

This is the ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY BLOOMING LIPS TALK #PK001
When I bought this, I didn't think that I will love the color!

If you are looking for a gorgeous pink color, I do recommend this.

First, I love the packaging as always from Etude House.
They are so cute! 
Pink with the ribbon on the lipstick.
I think the "lock" on the lipstick is superb, it took me a few minutes to try to take it off.



Here is the sneak peak of the lipstick,
peek-a-boo!


Ta-da!
Now, without further ado,
I LOVEEEEEEEEEE THIS!!!!

- great pigmentation!  
When it comes to Korean Poroducts, I gotta be honest that I don't own a lot, although their packaging always tempted me to buy them ;) The reason why I barely own a lot of Korean product is because of the color pigmentation but this one made me take my words back because the color pigmentation is strong, bold and vibrant. This was the first thing I realized and I love.


-Last long on my lips!
I didn't expect this to be long lasting, I wore this when I went out for lunch and literally I forgot to touch up then, I realized the color was still there. I only touch up once!

- No funny scent
Most of you may know that, when it comes to scents, I am very picky and sensitive.
I don't like weird scents but this one I don't recall any odd-ness and I was perfectly fine.


- Easy to blend!
Although for some reason I feel that this is semi matte and I still can feel some moisture in it,
I have a pretty bad chapped lips but this covered all and it is so easy for me to blend. Without hurting my lips of course :P

- The perfect pink color for my skin tone
The best color for my skin tone ;) it is not bold and tacky.
It fits naturally perfectly well to the whole makeup look.


- last but not least, I think this is the DUPE for
YSL Rouge Volupte #8

If you are a follower on my social media, you will know that YSL Rouge Volupte #8 is my perfect pink, I searched for it! and honestly, this color is so close to YSL!
The picture above is the comparison between ETUDE HOUSE and YSL.
Tell me what do you think? I think they are similar.


Here is the look ;)



Happy Thursday!
Weekend is near!
Stay tuned for my upcoming bridal look ;)

Remember you can always ask me to do a tutorial on any beauty makeup look you want!

REVIEW: OSCAR BLANDI AT PLAZA SENAYAN, JAKARTA, INDONESIA


Ladies,
Who here loves a good pampering session?
I think most women do, I love a good whole day of pampering from head to toe if I could.
 
I have been wanting to go for a good hair styling session,
but things were super hectic and i had to keep on postponing my trip.
Luckily, Oscar Blandi Indonesia invited me for a free hair styling.

I was super excited and of course I rsvp straight away!

Anyhoo, i picked Tuesday because I prefer to go on a weekday,
less crowded and easy to ask questions without any disturbance.

Long story short, I actually went to Oscar Blandi before once when I was in Plaza Senayan
but due to the distance that isn't that friendly from my house to Plaza Senayan, I didn't get a chance to go back there until Tuesday.

I love the interior, very neutral, comfortable, homey and just relaxing to be in it.
When I reached there, it was empty and straight-away, the free-styling began!

the process began with cleansing and washing the hair.
I didnt capture the picture with my cam but if you follow me on my instagram, there is a picture there :D Anyway, I love the shampoo! it has a jasmine scent and I love the scent of jasmine.
The process of washing the hair was done thoroughly and detailed. The pressure was good.

Here is me once the washing was done ;D



The first thing to do is to divide my hair into small sections to help with the drying.
Before starting, she applied a hair lift for my hair to have volume.
I have a very oily hair that it wont last a day without washing it. I know it is bad,
but if you have a very oily scalp like mine, you would understand :P

Alright so after the hair lift, she added a heat protectant spray because it is important to protect your hair from styling heat. I have been looking for a heat protectant spray but I cant find any and I am glad I got a chance to try it here. The scent reminded me of spices. 


Oh and you know the hair clips that were on my hair?
They are good because they didnt leave any marks on the hair :D

Here is the process ;)
I go for a normal hair style because I had to go back to me dad's office afterwards :P
So i dont want anything to fancy hehe


Here is what you can see around me on the table.


and on my right side when i am sitting down :D
i love the clear chair, wonder where I can get it in here.


So while waiting, here are the products that are used in my hair
if you want to purchase them.



Yeap,  i am halfway there!


Look at the curls!


and ta-da! donee ;D
Here is my hair before the Oscar Blandi Instant Glossing Cream.


and this is after, I tried to get a good picture but this is the best.
You can see the "gloss" on my hair.
It is more shiny and healthy.


Final look!
My hair literally feels light and bouncy.
I love it!


and here is the final products that were applied onto my hair ;D
Again, if you want to purchase them ;)


To keep in touch with them, kindly contact them through these social media ;)


Now, let me take you in a tour around Oscar Blandi Plaza Senayan.

Welcome!

Here is the front of the gallery.
Very fancy, simple and classy.
Love the style.


When you walked in, on the right side this is what you will see,
rows of their products divided and placed in category neatly.
It makes the customer easy to pick and see the products.



In the middle of the room, there was this round white table with 
a table piece of white flowers in a transparent vase.
I love it, I think this is the reason why I think the whole interior feels
homey and relaxing.

Behind the table, the cashier is placed there.



On to my left, there is a huge mirror.
The advantage of having a huge mirror is to create a big and spaced out illusion to the room.
I know because I tried it in my room haha 


When you walked further in, after the products displays,
it is the area for hair styling *where i was*.
On the left side, there was a small product display with mirror on the wall.


and this is how it looks from the corner of the right side
in the room. Neat, clean, simple and chic.
Love places like this.
Makes me feel calm.


When you walked in further, this is where I had my hair washed.
Very relaxing.


The product display in the area.



and this is the Chandelier.
This gives the touch of classy-ness in the whole place.


I know that compare from others that I have went,
this probably is the smallest one but!
Dont get me wrong,
I feel exclusive and private here. i love it!

One thing about me is that I cant stand crowded places.
If you want to find a good gallery
for a good hair styling, you know to relax your mind,
this is one place that I recommend, i love the quiet and relaxing ambience, the fact that they only have limited number of chairs for hair styling, makes it exclusive and organized.

You wont find people running and interrupting with one another, no screaming,
no hassles, I just love the place :) You can get your hair done with a good range of products together a good ambiance. You will feel refreshed afterwards! believe me :*


Thank you Oscar Blandi Indonesia!
And I received a good hair spray in the bag :*
Will do a review soon!

* I love hair sprays, that is probably my only obsession when it comes to hair products*

REVIEW: SALLY HANSEN COMPLETE SALON MANICURE

Hello my fellow readers, subbies and followers :*
How are you today? Good? Fine? Down?

Well I hope this post will cheer you up!
Now who here heard of Sally Hansen?

I actually seen this first when I was in Canada, that was like 6 years back?
And honestly, I barely see Sally Hansen here in Jakarta.
The only place I have seen them is in Guardian, Taman Anggrek.

Here lies a box, an orange box.
I love the box, I keep it for future use :P
I love to keep things and that is probably why my room is so packed.



Anyhoo, when you open the box...
SURPRISE!
Five gorgeous nail polish from Sally Hansen
*well you could probably tell from the name on the lid of the box above*

The color:
I love the colors, I feel that all of these colors are perfect,
from neutral, bold, romantic, girly,etc. They are the universal flattering colors with the latest effects and looks. So, these are the must-haves!


The technology
The formula in this product are in their finest quality. With three proprietary time-released, protecting shine enhancers, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure delivers a lasting shine that has the closest effect as a gel nail polish does without the gel manicure. Housed in break through nano-tubes, the shine enhancers are released on your nail for daily wear and tear, they also help to prevent chipping. 

Here are the closer look of each of the bottles.







and here is the names
*incase you wanna go and buy*


Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 
delivers 7 benefits of a salon manicure in 1 bottle!


I love all of the "all-in-one" product, and imagine just applying one or two coat,
you are ready to take the town down!

why?

Just think "the ultimate salon-caliber polish now with Gel-Shine Finish and Chip-Resistance"

We all know that Gel nail polish are very well-known lately and i did tried a gel polish before and trust me, it last super long! it doesnt chip and the colors are perfect just like the first time you applied it.
Now, this Sally Hansen complete salon manicure has that quality a good shiny finishing and of course the longevity. 



The Brush
This is the first time I saw nail polish brush that is different. Usually, their brushes are rounded all sides.
This one here is so precise (The precision brush) and they are developed exclusively by Sally Hansen. It has a rounded end to fir the curve of the cuticles and around the contours of the nails. It has 800 bristle and it pick the polish nicely.

Here are my nail :P 
plain and no polished!


and here i got a friend of mine who owns a nail art company apply the nail polish on my finger :D
I can tell from the brush that the brush is so easy to use and we have control on appliance. 


And how colorful are my nails!
So this is the first layer, I love the color pay-off on this one with just one layer.
The color is vibrant with one brush swipe.


then, another layer therefore this is the second layer.
The color vibrancy is even more gorgeous although I think if you are the type of person who prefers a light sheer color of polish, one layer is enough but I love having bold and strong colors statement on my nails :P 


and I asked my friend to do some nail art :P 
All of the nail art are simple but they look superb with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure as the base color.

Sorry for the blurred pictures :( but you still can see the colors easily as they are very pigmented.







Now which one is your fave? I love all things neutral so I love the #Ivory Coat or #Pennies for heaven

All of these chic shades of premier nail polish has the ultimate color authority, Sally Hansen always set the trends when it comes to the shades. From the brilliant metallics to the neutrals and this is why I recommend their products, all girls or women with different style will find the perfect color for their nails. Not only the color consistency is gorgeous, but the formula that protects and enhance the nails are from a fine quality too!

If you are a person who loves things that are handy and practical or more like "impatience" like me :P and prefer to get things done at once, these nail polish are the perfect ones you should get. 

Before, they have the 5 steps of a professional manicure in a bottle 
(base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color and top coat)

Now, 
the Complete Salon Manicure added 2 more benefits 
which makes them 7 benefits in one bottle.
The other two benefits are: 
Gel-like shine and Chip resistance. 

Want to know the best thing?
and this is very unexpected, even i was in shock!
The price is RP 98.000 only and this is their premier collection!

They are available at:

MUSE'S EVENT REPORT: SHU UEMURA HOLIDAY COLLECTION COLLABORATION "6 HEART PRINCESS" BY TAKASHI MURAKAMI



"Art is a way of life"
Mr. Shu Uemura

I had to put that statement in from the press release. I live my life in that motto.
I love art, colors and I believe with art, everything is more happy ;)

Hello dear readers, followers and subbies
also my fellow Indonesian Beauty Bloggers,
on the 9th November 2013, 3pm
I attended an event by Shu Uemura at Lotte Shopping Avenue, Jakarta.

When I arrived, honestly, the dessert table attracted me :P
All pink and yummy!
I have a sweet tooth.


On the table itself, there laid their new collection of makeup
by Takashi Murakami.



Now, who is he?
Takashi Murakami was born in Tokyo 1962, earned a Ph.D from Tokyo National University of Fine arts and music. His first break through was with his solo exhibition at Aoi Gallery, Osaka in 1991. He is the president of Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd.

He completed trilogy curatorial projects including Superflat (Parco Gallery, Tokyo in 2000 then a tour in USA 2001) Coloriage (Foundation Cartier, Paris 2002) and Little Boy (the Japan Society, New York 2005) and Little boy was awarded as the Best Thematic Museum Show in New York by AICA USA.

He was named one of TIME Magazine's " The 100 most influential people in the world" in 2008.

Here is the collection:

The pink and black princess.
They are inspired by Takashi Murakami series of the 6HP animation that has captured the sense of adventures of magical "majokko" (magical witch girls). Majokko has been a trend for more than half century, it has the concept and theme of normal girls that transformed into super women to fight enemies and solve problems and Takashi has re-interpretted this into a modern animation with aspects of Tokyo's otaku subculture, manga and cosplay into an artwork. 

The new collaboration collection  reflects the timeless and universal theme of the transformation of feminine desire to reflect another, inner self, the parallel universe between real and surreal.  The dark and light sides of every women. 


Here are some pictures of the counter.
Very neat, organized in their color tone and range.


They are arranged in their own category that makes it easy for customer to choose and picks.


I heard so many reviews of this particular cleansing oil,
I have a very oily skin and I was in doubt 
but now i want to try it :P


Within the counter itself, it has another space with different "station"


Inside this space, it is divided into categories again.




and here is me! :P


and me with Ashley/Endi and Melly.


The event started by introducing us to the whole counter
and this is the first stop.
The makeup collections
*drools*


This is where we were introduced and explained of the area within the counter.
This area is divided into categories as I mentioned above,
Shulash is where the eyelashes are and the bears are so cute!


Next to the lashes, they have the collection of their makeup train case.


Then they have this Top 10 product display.
The top 10 picks for Shu Uemura products.


Who can guess them?!
Leave your guess at the comment box below!


They have TV for their products video but I forgot to capture :P
and last but not least, a special display for their skin care collection.


And here is where the makeup artists do their magic on the customer :D
I want one like this! they have three different light for them to adjust the makeup on you
because different lighting gives different effects.


And now is the makeup demo using the new holiday collection.
This is the model before makeup
