DAILY ESSENTIALS IN A MAKEUP POUCH

For every girl, majority of us love to carry a handbag, big, medium or small and inside that handbag we will have at least one beauty items thats a must for us. 

I am a girl who brings a huge handbag haha and inside my bag i have to have my wallet, phone, keys , usb *in case if you are wondering why, i am a graphic designer so my usb is half of my life*, my medicine pouch *yes i do get sick easily* and my makeup pouch.

back then ages ago i used to love bringing unnecessary items like i would bring 3 lipstick, 2 eyeshadow, 2 blush etc2 and that made my bag so heavy and the worst thing is, i barely use them haha and i dont want to be shorter than i already am :) so i decided to take my makeup pouch out and reorganized it!

i started to think on my daily needs like when i go out what do i use the most?

so here inside my pouch i have:

- my blotting paper

- my powder

- chapstick

- lipstick 

-lipgloss

- blush on

- eyeshadow

- eyebrow pencil

- hair serum

- body mist

- nail file

-nail clipper

- hair tie and clip

- a small jar of lotion

sounds alot eh? but trust me it wont be when you know how to pack them.

always buy them in a small packaging or buy a small container and pour them into it :)

i need my blotting paper + powder + chapstick + eyebrow pencil everyday! as i have a very oily skin, bald eyebrow and dry lips :( 

as for the blush on i pick the cream blush from max factor because of the colour and the size that is petite enough to be fit into my makeup pouch :) 

i choose a neutral eyeshadow that can be used for contouring and highlight too

and lipstick, i pick a colour that will work well both day and night and as for the lipgloss is just there when i want my lips to be glossy and pinky :)

i got this plastic case that i used for my make up pouch from this store called STROBERI for only rp 6500 if i am not wrong :)

then i have my hair clip and hair tie which is a must for me. You guys probably wonder why i have a nail file and nail clipper haha thats because i have rough edges around my nails and that bother me alot! as for the nail file i also cant stand the chip looking and feeling of my nails, i prefer to have my nail smooth shaped. 

my hair serum is there incase i forgot to put them on my scalp, body mist + a small jar of lotion is just to make myself smell fresh incase if i want to meet people in a sudden

so i hope this helps for you who wants to lighten the weight of your handbag :D

REVIEW: SLEEK TRUE COLOUR LIPSTICK

howdy!

i am back with another review baby!

i just got these new babies from a friend of mine, she came back for a short holiday from the UK and of course, i asked her to buy me some stuff :P 

ok enough chatting, so here is the packaging, it is kinda small from my expectation but it doesnt matter :) i like the packaging it is very colorful for the budget i have.

here is some snapshots of the products themselves, i love the lipstick packaging or jar or bottle, i seriously dont know what to call this but im going to call it the lipstick jar :D

i love loveee the design! very sleek just like the name 

i love everything simple and elegantly classy. i think the jar reflects and have succeeded in showing the meaning of the brand :)

i got myself in three colors, they are different in my own opinion: candycane, amped and peached & cream. i personally think the colors are gorgeous! it stands out.

As for the scent, i actually can smell a slight tiny plasticy scent if i put it close onto my nose but, it doesnt bother me :) so i am fine with this.

the swatches: bear in mind that this is with one swipe. color pigmentation is super, i bought them in sheen and matte and both of them are giving what they are named for :) the sheen one are: candycane and peaches&cream, they are both very easy to apply hence the moisturizer they have for the lips, while the matte one, it is matte but giving out bold strong colors.

will i repurchase them?

yes i will! infact if they even open here i would love to buy them and collect most of the color :D

what do i like about them?

- their color pigmentation!

does it have a down side?

- for me, it would be just the size that is smaller than i expected but it is all good :)

REVIEW: CLEANSING WIPES

alrighty lovely!

there are times when i get confused between a make up remover wipes and cleansing wipes. i sound so dumb haha but yes yes i know make up remover is to remove make up but the thing is, on cleansing wipes, it will also say to cleanse make up, waterproof eyeliner etc2.

so when my curiosity hits me, i just had to buy and tested them out :P

so here i bought 3 cleansing wipes

body shop vit e cleansing wipes, mitu shikada for oily skin & mustika ratu herbal facial wipes

i did tested them out, yes each single one of them :) so here is what i think and before i start, i am not being paid or sponsor or whatever because i purchase these with my own money, my own choice and my own risk. so this is just my opinion on them, might work on me and might not work on you :)

THE BODY SHOP VITAMIN E CLEANSING WIPES

so this is the packaging, i love it just cause it is pink :D and huge! it cost around RP 65.000 if i am not mistaken, i am very bad with numbers. very simple and elegant design and layout.

just like any normal wipes packaging, it has the sticker to lift and cover the tissue. so i think packaging wise is clear and now, when i open this, i actually can smell the scent * i think my nose is just sensitive* and honestly i hate the smell! it smells horrible more like a medicine kinda smell. But ignore the smell, i hope this products will work on me seeing that this is the most expensive ones but... no it doesnt work. It irritates my skin and basically it gives a burning feeling on my face.

i dont think this is gentle at all on me but then again, i dont work well with TBS... although i wish i can wear all of their products.

MUSTIKA RATU HERBAL FACIAL WIPES

so the packaging, similar to the body shop but this one is smaller and contains on 10 sheets and the price.. i think it is around RP 9000 correct me if im wrong, as i told you i am very bad with numbers. haha but alright, so when i open it, the smell isnt that bad compare to the body shop but! i hate the texture of the wipes. it is harder than a tissue and when you open the wipes wipe, you actually can hear it being open like it has this "crsh" noise and kinda stiff, i dont think it has a gentle texture on my face and it also irritates slightly.

MITU SHIKADA FACIAL WIPES FOR OILY SKIN

lastly, i think this is my faves out of these three. so packaging wise, same as the prev ones and this one contains more than 10 wipes haha the wipes has soft texture compare to the other two, it has a soft and gentle smell and it doesnt irritate my skin ;) 

did it lift up the make up? all of them do but not as good as an actual make up removal wipes but these arent a proper make up removal wipes i think this is more to the... "facial wash on the go" haha perfect for traveling on long journey though :)

will i purchase this again? NO, not because they irritate my skin but thats my second reason haha but basically i dont see the important or the point of having them :) i think cleansing milk and facial foam work better but if you are the type of person loves to travel, this will come in handy :)

REVIEW- MAYBELLINE COLOR TATTOO

hello how are you? ;) 

hope you have a great day

so i know these items here down below arent out yet and i asked my cousin to buy me all of the colors they have but sadly, she came back and gave me three since they are all sold out. *hey it is better than nothing right?*

so i heard alot of good things about these babies so finally after i got my hands on them.. first, i love the colour *although i am not a big fan of eyeshadow* i love all neutral colors actually :P

here is the packaging, sturdy and made of glass, i like it :)

the colors that i got were:

BOLD GOLD

BAD TO THE BRONZE

TOUGH AS TAUPE 

Here are the colors:

HERE ARE THE SWATCHES :)

isnt that lovely? i love it!

i love the texture, when you apply it from the jar, it seems hard but it is actually not, it is so smooth when you apply it onto your eyes, which is a good thing, you dont want to have eyeshadow that is super hard to be put onto your eyelids otherwise you'd be stretching the eyes too much. So packaging wise: love it, unbreakable and good durability. Texture: smooth mousse-y like texture that glides on well onto your eyelids. Color: good pigmentation. The picture above is taken with one 2 swipes on the eyeshadows. 

so whats the best thing about this product other than what i have mention above?

I LOVE how long it stays on my eyes * knowing i have a very oily eyelids* so with a good primer and this eyeshadow, you are bound to have a good and beautiful day * ok way to extreme* i mean like you know your eyeshadows that enhanced your beautiful eyes are there, sitting there not smudging all over your eyes and working their colors to compliments your face for almost 12 hours will make you feel gorgeous and confident! well at least thats how i feel :D

so do let me know if these items are coming, i will buy them in every color!

10 PRODUCTS FOR OILY SKIN

g'day my darlings!

*hugs and smooches*

i know with all my heart it is annoying to have an oily skin, because not only it makes you look like you havent washed your face for a decade but it is pretty troublesome to keep on re-touching your skin and make up, or maybe it is just me who hates doing that? :P there are times when i wish i can buy a product that keep my skin matte!

and so after a long journey of researching, trying, experimenting and of course spending a whole lot of good amount of money... i have narrowed it down the items that works almost 100% well on my skin.

When i say almost, these items are actually do help my face and skin to keep matte the whole day with only one or twice using blotting paper * i think that is good enough*

so here i have made it clear and easy for you to view :)

these items here:

- i am not being sponsored

-i paid with my own money

-i choose the products

- i have tested them and some are my faves! 

They work on me but MIGHT NOT work on you *so please do a deep research on each of the items as i wont be responsible for any incident*

1. Olay Natural White (all in one fairness day cream)

i had finished my Olay white radiance day&night cream and they work wonder on my face so i think it is the time to try something new and of course, i wont change to other brand as Olay works well on my skin. This moisturizer is made for oily skin, i love the texture *although it looks thick* when you apply it onto your face, it is lightweight and smells good!

2. Lancome Teint Miracle foundation

Believe it or not, this was my very first foundation i ever bought, i was looking and researching for a foundation for oily skin and i thought to myself if it is a foundation, splurge on it because it is for your face where people will be looking at you. So i came down and decided to buy this item, and i have no regret at all! it is lightweight and great coverage! it stays matte on my skin for a whole good 5-6 hours. As when it comes to price, it is pricey but it is worth it for me :)

3. Revlon Color Stay foundation

Now, here is a product from a drugstore. Well i know we dont call it here :P but yes i have called this drugstore foundation and seriously guys, go out now and buy this! it stays matte on your skin almost the whole day! trust me, i am a type of person that when i go out, i can stay outside from morning til night and with this, it stays matte. worth the price? OH YES! TOTALLY

4. Urban Decay all nighter makeup setting spray

This spray helps even more with oily skin people, it holds the make up and the skin to stay matte. You gotta shake it well first so the solution is all mix well and spray it a few time to get that amazing finish :)

5. ID Bare Mineral Loose Powder

so how many of you have heard about this? yes people with oily skin is better off with loose mineralized powder and so far this is the best one. I dont know where to get it here but there are some alternative like L'oreal, Revlon, Maybelline, etc

6. MAC powder blush

if we cant avoid the oily skin, then it is alright, how about creating a fresh look *instead of pale and oily* by using blush on. I always think blushes are a must because it adds color onto your skin and MAC powder blush has a great pigmentation and long lasting on your cheeks, yes even when your whole face is oily, it stays there :)

7. Revlon Photoready Correcting Primer

Primer is good to control the oil on our face and if you have huge pores *usually there is a connection with oil & pores* this product will helps to minimized them :) the texture, again, looks thick but as soon as you apply it onto your face it feel smooth!

8. Lioeli Triple the solution BB Cream

so i did a review on this product, so check it out Lioeli triple the solution BB Cream REVIEW

If you are a BB Cream lover like me, you dont want to miss this item out! Stay matte on your skin *compare to other bb cream* light weight and good coverage.

9. Urban Decay eyeshadow primer

alright! again i have no idea where to get this here :( i only have 2 eyeshadow primer since i dont like wearing eyeshadow but this works well and stay matte and keep my eyeshadow in place for a good 7-8 hours! another alternative is NYX eyeshadow base, it works too but doesnt stay as long as this one :P

10. Clean & Clear oil control film

I have tried various brand but only this one settled in my heart, it absorbs well, leaves the skin matte and it is very handy :) 

so i hope these items helps and if you have another good products for oily skin that you have tested and proven good, leave it in the comment because i would like to try them!
