Review: Caring Colours Eye Shadow

Heloo Ladies! Another review for today. I did a lot of review on eye-makeup, yes because I think eye-makeup is the most thing that I can explore with. :) Today I want to review Caring Colours Eye Shadow, and I choose type 03 Shadow Fantazia. It is blue, fresh, and so summer! But, I also wear this color to work for refreshing looks.

This is the packaging. Simple one.

Closer to the colors.

These are the colors. Blue gradation.

This is how I implement in my eyes. Pretty good huh?

This is with flash.

What do you think? As you know Caring Colours is product from Martha Tilaar, Indonesian local brand. We should be proud that we have brand with good quality!

What I Love?
  • the blue color is refreshing and pop
  • good implementation
  • good lasting time (up to 7 hours), with eye-base
  • Gliterry, but not too glittery
  • cheap and can be bought at supermarket
What I hate?
  • almost nothing, just the too simple packaging
Price?
  • IDR 45000, discounted from IDR 50 something thousand
Repurchased?
  • Yes, in other colors!
Recommended?
  • Absolutely
What do you think Ladies? do you love the color? For me, I don't use bright color a lot, but I really love this color tho. Please comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty.

Thank you for reading, my readers. :*

Review: Cussons Baby Cream Soft & Smooth

Hello hello  hello.. I love weekend blogging! How are you ladies (and gentlemen)?? Today I will review (again) a product that used for baby, but works for us too! Funny eh? I purchased this product while I was in baby product alley at a supermarket. I thought, this kinda interested! It is Cussons Baby Cream Soft & Smooth. Honestly I don't know the real function of this baby cream, I just thought this is just the same with body lotion for adult (but my friend said that this is for baby ass). Never mind! In fact I looovvveee this product, I choose Almond and Rose oil, and I use it for my hand cream.

This product has very nice smell, and creates smoothness! It is very light, not oily, just like water.. I think this product suits for those who have sensitive skin, considering this product meant for baby (am I right??). So these are the pictures..

This is the packaging. I choose this variant honestly because I love pink! :p

This is the back of the packaging.

This is the cream looks like. Interesting right?? :) Please remember I use this cream for my hand, not my body! hahaha


What I Love?
  • makes my hand really really smooth
  • light and not oily
  • fresh finishing
  • cheap
  • smell so goooddd
  • to many to tell what I love about this product :p
What I Hate?
  • nothing
Price?
  • IDR 12000 or more, under IDR 20000 for sure!
Repurchased?
  • Yes yes yes
Recommended?
  • Totally

Sooo, who is also using this product?? My mission is to try other baby product, because I'm totally in loovee. :) Do not hesitate to comment or tweet me at @notjustbeauty

I used this almost everyday to office, what I expected that this 'colorstay' will stay for a long time (it said 16 hours) consider my working hour is very long, LOL.

So, these are the picture..

This is the front packaging.

This is the back packaging. There's also the directions to apply eyeshadow.

These are the color of the eyeshadow.

Up-close to those color. Do you love it?

What I Love?

  • Good color vibrant
  • Not to 'shine' white color highlight
What I Hate?
  • The 16 hour colorstay not works for me
Price?
  • IDR 110000
Repurchased?

Review: L'oreal Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

Hello, Ladies! How are you? I'm doing great. More good news, I have been here in Bali almost for 2 weeks, but I don't get darker skin! *yeay* Seriously, I'm afraid that my skin will go darker, plus I ride motorcycle here, and the sun is totally crazy! But, I will not share about skin problem, I will do another review!

This product is from my April Haul post. It is L'oreal Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum. It is a liquid serum, and a leave-on as well. It contains argan oil that makes your hair smoother, silky, sleek, and manageable. This product really suits for frizzy and rebellious hair.

I already use it for 2 months, but I only use this product if I want to go out for hang out or places that make me should look 'better' (hahahaa). I love this product because, sometimes our hair is not smooth, eventhough after we wash it right? But this product makes my hair smoother and shiny. But the magical thing about this product is, it make your hair 'stick' to each other, means sleek for instance. And this product also protects hair from heat or chemical things. 

These are the packaging.

The liquid most likely like water, but a little bit thicker. I usually pump twice for my whole hair.

What I Love?
  • It makes my hair smoother instantly!
  • The smell of the product is quite nice
  • Nice packaging
What I Hate?
  • 1 pump is not enough!
Price?
  • Supposed to be over IDR 60000, but I bought it on discount for IDR 40000 :)
Repurchased?
  • Absolutely
Recommended?
  • Yes, for those who have long hair.
Anyone use this product also? What do you think? Let me know! You may comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty

Thank you for reading, my readers. :*

Review: Professional Cantik Manis Gel Eyeliner

Hello, everyone! Today I'll review a beauty product that I can't find in Indonesia, but the brand uses Indonesian language! Unique rite? I will review Professional Cantik Manis Gel Eyeliner. This is my first gel eyeliner actually (since I'm a new comer in beauty world). And I found this gel eyeliner in Hongkong. And the storekeeper said that this is the best seller one in one of  drugstores there. So, I bought it.

And I curious with the brand, I thought this is Indonesian brand tho! After that I googled it and I found that this is Japanese brand. I still don't know why Japan use Indonesian words for this brand. Anyone knows? :p But after all the history, I love this eyeliner, it is solid and I can wear for a long time. 

This is the packaging. I didn't lie rite? :p

It came along with the eyeliner brush.

This is the gel eyeliner looks like.

This is the gel eyeliner looks like when applied to my skin.

What I love?
  • Solid, makes easy to apply.
  • Waterproof, long wear.
  • Not expensive at all!
  • It creates very dark black.
What I hate?
  • Kinda easy to harden, so I have to mix it with water.
  • The eyeliner brush is not really good. :(
Price?
  • Forgot! But definitely under IDR 100000
Repurchased?
  • Yes, if I have trip to Hongkong. :p
Recommended?
  • Of course!
If anyone know the history of this product, let me know! I mean, we should be proud as Indonesian to have our language used as Japan beauty product! Or perhaps anyone of you use this brand also? You may comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty. (ps: wait for my tutorial with this product!)

Thank you for reading, my readers. :*

Review: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! Today I will review one of my beauty products that I shopped at my trip to Taiwan. It's BB cream. This is actually my first BB cream that I tried. And honestly, I'm not a big fan of BB Cream, but it's worth to try! :)

The product is from Etude House. It is Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong. I choose this type because I am an active person so I need strong and long-lasting makeup. I usually use this BB cream after I use my concealer right under my eyes, and other spots that I want to cover. Not because this BB cream doesn't have good coverage, but it is just my 'makeup process' before I do the whole thing.

So, this BB cream has SPF 30/PA++, Anti-Wrinkle & Whitening, and Anti-Darkening. A lot huh? But, I heard information that face cream which has SPF in it doesn't go well with camera flash. Is it true? Well, you can see in the pictures below. :)

These are the packaging looks like.

This is the BB cream looks like on my skin.

I already applied Etude BB Cream on my face.
Left: without camera flash
Right: with camera flash 

         
After 5 hours using BB Cream.
Left: with camera flash
Right: without camera flash

What I love?
  • The texture, not too creamy, and easy to blend.
  • Long lasting, 'stick' with your face.
  • Doesn't create face problems.
  • GOOD coverage.
  • Cute packaging.
  • I just use one pump for my whole face and neck.
  • It creates dewy and shiny looks.
What I hate?
  • Not so good with camera flash after long wear.
  • Easy to 'melt', so my suggestion is don't touch your face too much while using this BB cream.
Price?
  • IDR 165000 in Taiwan, in Indonesia it's over IDR 300000
Repurchased?
  • Yes, if I have trip to Taiwan, or Korea. :p
Recommended?
  • Yes
But honestly, I'm not a BB cream person. I just love to use regular face powder. Because, I don't really have skin to be covered to much. I just occasionally use this BB Cream for special occasion. So, ladies, what do you think about this product? Do you use this product too? Tell me what you think! You can comment or tweet me on @notjustbeauty

Thank you for reading, my readers. :)

Review: Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Liner

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! The next beauty product that I'm gonna review is Majolica Majorca Perfect Automatic Eyeliner. Basically it's a liquid eyeliner. I bought this product when I had my trip to Taiwan and I found the packaging was really cute. I never tried any of Majolica Majorca products before. So, since I'm an eyeliner junkie, I bought this product. And I choose BK 999 Black color. But the truth is, I rarely use this eyeliner. 

These are the packaging.

This is the tip of the eyeliner. If you want to add more liquid to it, you just simply roll the bottom part of the eyeliner so the liquid can come out.

This is the color looks like when applied to skin. It creates medium size of line.

But, sorry to say I don't recommend this product. Since I have hidden eyelids, I struggled using this product. But, it's okay for you who have perfect eyelids! *envy face*

What I love?
  • The packaging, because it's so me! hehe
  • The applicator, it's actually a smart applicator. We can set how much liquid that will come out.
  • It's waterproof for those who wondering.
What I hate?
  • It just doesn't work for me. After an hour I use it, it runs off all over my eyelid.
  • The liquid is to watery (if you know what I mean).
  • I think the product can't stay for a long time because it doesn't have thick liquid.
  • You can't find this product in Indonesia, not yet.
Price?
  • Forgot! But it was definitely over IDR 100000, above IDR 200000. Hehe
Repurchased?
  • No

So, that's it for my review. Is there anyone of you who using this product? Does it work for you? Please do tell, I want to know! :) You may comment or tweet me @notjustbeauty.

Thank you for reading, my readers! :) *kiss*

Review: NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! This is my 2nd review after this one. I am going to review my NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil. I use it as a eyeliner, and I choose 906 White color. I always use this pencil to have bigger and brighter eye-looks, and it does work! I only use this pencil along my bottom waterline, and inner corner of my eye to make it brighter

These are the packaging.

This is the tip of the pencil looks like.

This is the color looks like when applied to skin.

What I love?
  • The white color makes eyes look brighter and bigger.
  • Texture of the pencil is very smooth and soft.
  • Long-stay color and waterproof.
What I hate?
  • Almost nothing except I have to shave it with pencil shaver. :)
Repurchased?
  • Yes, in other colors too.
Price?
  • IDR 50000
So, anyone of you use the same product or the same color with me? Do share or comment or you may follow me on Twitter @notjustbeauty

Review: Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick

Hey, ladies (and gentlemen)! Today, I'm gonna review my Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick which I purchased in my trip to Taiwan. Just for your information, Etude House brand in Taiwan is so MUCH CHEAPER than in Indonesia. So, if you have trip to Taiwan, don't forget to shop at Etude House, there are a lot of Etude House store there! I was so excited! :)

So, the color that I have is #05 Silver Milky Way. It has a big size color stick for size of an eye. Actually, I love to use this eye stick to highlight my inner corner of my eyes to get brighter eye look

These are the Bling Bling Eye Stick Packaging

The size is almost same with my pinkie finger.

This is the color looks like when applied to skin.

What I love?
  • Glittery color, which makes my eyes look brighter.
  • The packaging, I just have to roll it up and down to used or not to used.
  • I can use this eye stick for a long time.
What I hate?
  • Big round tip, which makes me to use it more carefully and slowly, especially for the inner corner of my eye. The rest is fine.
Repurchased?
  • I don't think so, because I can use this for a long time. Maybe in other colors.
So, Which one of you have the same product? Tell me if do you think the same way or not! You can ask me more about this product through comment or my Twitter account at @notjustbeauty.
