Alright, now let me share with you what I received.
It comes in this cute packaging.
Love the whole design.



I received:
A lipstick, a foundation, an eyeliner, and an eyeshadow.




FOUNDATION

This is a cream foundation. It has a creamy texture with a powdered result. It is easy to apply onto my skin. I tried using sponge but i prefer using foundation brush. The pigmentation is good therefore it works as a concealer for me as well. Usually, creamy foundation is good for dry skin. So if you have a dry skin or normal, give this one a try. I love the size that is so cute and I can bring this everywhere I go. I will start using this for my makeup client especially if they have a dry skin! The price for this is IDR 250.000


As you can see from the picture below, the texture is super creamy and good pigmentation that has a good coverage. The quality is build-able according to your personal preference. 


EYELINER.

This I received is in a white color which is good since I have a small eyes and this is one technique that i used on my clients to make their eyes to look bigger. It is to apply a white eyeliner on the waterline and slightly on the inner corner.  The quality of this eyeliner is good, smooth texture and easy to apply.
Price is IDR 110.000



EYESHADOW

This is my favorite. You all know that high pigmentation is the number one quality i look for in every makeup product. This has a silky and velvety texture that gives that high pigmentation. Easy to apply and blend. The color pay off is superb!
Price is IDR 175.000



LIPSTICK 

I am a lipstick lover. The lipstick is moisturizing and the color has a medium pigmentation.
This is great if you are not that confidence in wearing bold lipstick because the quality of this lipstick is build-able. It comes in 4 range of: matte, glossy, discrete matte and discrete glossy. 
Price is IDR 180.000




A QUICK MAKEUP TUTORIAL

I want to share with you on how I would apply these items on my makeup.

Let's begin with the eye makeup.

1. Apply the Bo.ho makeup eyeshadow all over the eyelids.
Look how vibrant the color is.
Here is a sample of alternative black as smokey eyes.



2. Apply a soft brown matte eyeshadow above the purple one, then blend well.



3. Apply the same purple Bo.ho eyeshadow on the bottom lash line,
then apply the while eyeliner from Bo.ho cosmetic on the waterline and slightly on the inner corner.



A simple steps for a basic smokey eyes look from me ;)




False lashes are from Gwiyomi.

4. Apply the foundation. There is nothing right or wrong on how to apply the foundation.
As you can see the shade is slightly whiter than my skin tone, but no worries, I know how to balance it out! It also covers my acne and pigmentation. 


5. Apply a powder that is darker than your skintone, 1 or 2 level darker, so it is always best to have 3 shades at home. Then I added some bronzer around my face and of course I have to contour.
Dont forget the blush and the Bo.ho lipstick!


Here is the final look!
Eyeshadow, foundation, eyeliner and lipstick are from
BO.HO Makeup.



Please ignore the acne and skin hahaha
PMS is every girls' best friend!

REVIEW: REVLON COLORBURST MATTE BALM #230 #205 #225

Good Day peeps!
I am spreading the love to you :*

I am currently typing this while watching "the grimm"
Anybody watched this tv show before?
I am obsessed with it!

So...... whats today's post about?
I know that I recently just update my blog reviewing a lipstick,
but this is a must. I have been using this for a few weeks now and these,
you will find it in my handbag ALL THE TIME.

I have my review on their previous range.
Click here

Now they are back with 2 new range but I picked this range
just because I am obsessed with matte lipstick.
It is the

REVLON COLORBURST MATTE BALM
and yes i got them in 3 differnt colors

#sultry #elusive #complex

So come and scroll and find out why I love them!


First of all, the pricing is IDR 88.000
I hope I am not wrong hahaha 
as you all know I found it hard to remember numbers.

Second, I love the packaging texture :D
*see that big smile??*
It is so cute, like it is doff and not glossy.
Other than that, it is the same as the previous range.




Now, thirdly, the quality of this lipstick range.
I LOVE THE PIGMENTATION it has. I mean it is really affordable and with the price,
comes the great pigmentation. Even on makupalley.com it is rated 4.1 out of 5.

This is why i picked 3 colors at the same time. I was testing it on my hand and the colors turn out vibrant and visible at one swipe. It is also easy to apply and blend. If you have dry lips like i do, always to dab a tiny bit of balm before applying matte lipstick.

Regardless of its name to be matte, it has a creamy consistency which is good for dry lips but
in my case, I need that dab of balm honey. It leaves on the lips with a slightly velvety matte look. 

It has that minty scent, similar as the previous range but i dont mind.
I love the pigmentation, it looks good on me and to be able to find 
items that I have been wanting for a very long time at an affordable price with a good high quality, I dont think i can ever say no to that!

It is also long lasting, of course, if you dont wipe it off from your mouth on purpose. 
I mean I dont know if anyone really does that but that is not a valid research according to the
museswonderland research department :P and if honestly, if you happen to eat or drink, this products comes off *but isnt that logical?* I am ok with this because I dont like product that last way too long on my skin. 


Here they are on my lips :*
*kisses*




Overall, I really love this product, I really recommend this if you are looking for an affordable great matte lipstick *like i was before* and if you have dry skin, no worries, it has that slightly creamy texture to help the product to look "fresh" on your lips.

I purchased this in Metro Plaza Senaya but I am sure Matahari Dept Store will have these too.

Alright :*
til the next post!
