OOTD: From Basketball Game to Beer Night

Hello, everyone! Today I'll show you some pictures about what I wore yesterday. I actually had a very great day. I went watching NBL Indonesia basketball game at Senayan, it was Satria Muda vs Pelita Jaya. For those who don't know, both teams are the top 2 in Indonesia. So, I decided to watch it because I knew, it's gonna be a GOOD match.

But, I didn't just watch basketball game, I did a little culinary trip, and beer night. It's all about my last Saturday night! :)

Look at the crowd in this basketball hall! Fun rite?

This is my favorite basketball team, ever! Pelita Jaya Esia Jakarta, and they won the game!

These are my bestfriends! We play basketball together. And we did a pose in front of the championship trophy. :)
Flowery Top: Yuan
Navy Short Pants: Gaudi
Belt: Random store at Mangga Dua
Purple Sling Bag: Shihlin Night Market
Nude Pink Oxford Shoes: Feng Jia Night Market

After I watched the game, me and my friends went to a little cafe called Appetite in Senopati. We had late lunch, and one thing that I really wanted to try in this cafe is the Red Velvet Cake! 

This is Appetite in Senopati.

I had Home-made Lasagna for my main course. YUMMY to the MAX.

Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Filling. It was just okay! :(

Then, after we got late lunch we watched Wrath of the Titans at Plaza Indonesia. And after that, we eat again! hahaha. Yesterday was a fatty night. We had dinner at Ya Udah Bistro, funny name rite?

My ultimate dinner: Ham Steak with Mashed Potato. Fat Fat Fat, but Nice nice nice. :)

Then, I ended up my night with beer night at e Bar Pantai Indah Kapuk. I love the ambiance and the live music also. FUN!

That's all my photos of my weekend. It was great. It was fun. And I'm happy to share with you guys. :)

Thank you for reading, my readers.
(Btw, Happy Easter! I will post my Easter look tomorrow!)

My Ultimate: Nature Basic Beauty Cream

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! Today I'm gonna tell you my ultimate beauty product which perhaps you never know, or a few of you that know this product (or may be I'm too over-confident, lol). This product called Nature Basic Beauty Cream, it's a cream concealer. I choose the natural one.

I actually bought this product by accident. I was looking for other brand of concealer, and suddenly the saleswoman told me that this product is way better than any concealer. I didn't believe her, then I left. Suddenly, I was thinking that I ran out of concealer and I have to buy one! So, I came back to the store, and bought it. From the packaging, you may think that this product is fake, or unofficial product. In fact, I have been googling it, and I can't find any information about the product. So, I don't know anything about where the product from! But, the saleswoman convinced me that this product is safe and doesn't create acne or pimples. By all the faith that I have, I bought it! :)

These pictures are the packaging of the product. Suspicious right? :)

This is the cream applied to my skin.

This picture shows the difference between my left eye, and my right eye. On left you can see my eye without any makeup, and for the right I use the concealer but without any powder. Can you spot the difference?

What I love?
  • The texture is very smooth and creamy, not oily.
  • Easy to apply with finger tip.
  • Very nice natural color that blend very well.
  • And it long lasting up to I think 4 hours.
What I hate?
  • The packaging, so not classy. Haha
  • Not really work on dry skin.
Recommended?
  • TOTALLY
Repurchased?
  • YES
Price?
  • IDR 100000
I think I will keep using this concealer until I find the better one. So, for now, this is my ultimate concealer everybody! I was wondering that is there any one of you has the same product? Or may be you have your own ultimate concealer? If you want to ask more about this product, please comment, or tweet me at @notjustbeauty.

Thank you for reading, my readers.

Transform: From Plain Casual to More Stylish!

Hey, Ladies (and gentlemen)! This is my 2nd fashion post after this one. And today I will show you how to transform your casual outfit to more stylish look (in my version, of course). I bet you all ladies have items that I will show you which are plain tank top, cardigan, and jeans (for sure). Like I'm wearing in the pictures below.

(Sorry for 'grumpy' face. LOL)
Shoes: Crocs

BUT, with a few items to add, this casual look can be more stylish. Check out the pictures below.

  
White Tank Top: Random Bazaar in KL
Orange Redish Cardigan: Cotton On
Blue Jeans: Nudie
Scarf: Random Factory Outlet in Bogor
Brown Belt: Random Bazaar
Nude Wedges Shoes: Vincci

So, those pictures above show the final look of my version from casual to more stylish look. You may use any bright colored cardigan. For different look, I tuck my tank top into my jeanswear brown belt, and add printed scarf. And then, I fold my jeans inside to show more leg skin to look taller (am I?). Hehe. And don't forget to add some accessories

Brown Belt: Random Bazaar
Snake Ring: Naughty (same here)
Nail Polish: Revlon (same here)

Nude Wedges Shoes: Vincci

Love Bracelet (left): Forever 21
Bracelets (right): Random Store in Mangga Dua
Snake Ring: Naughty (same here)
Nail Polish: Revlon (same here

So, that's the look! What do you think? This look actually works for skinny to plus-size woman like me. Tell me what you think! You can comment or tweet me at @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

Thank you for reading, readers. *kiss*


Ps: I use this product in my look and my tutorial. Please check them out. :)

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.

Thank you for reading, my readers. *kiss*

My Lampung Trip!

Hello again, friends! I just got back from my short sweet trip to Lampung. Me and my family spent 2 days and 1 night at Lampung, actually the reason we went to Lampung is to visit my grandfather grave. But, other than that I really enjoyed my trip, with a little bit of culinary experience and exciting views from the hotel that I was staying! 

Since I was a little kid, I always go to Bandar Lampung like twice every year. My family always go there because Bandar Lampung is where my mom spent here childhood. But, in the past 4 years I've never been to Bandar Lampung anymore. So, this trip was really exciting! I just want to share some photos, and telling you girls (and guys) how amazing Bandar Lampung is, even though Bandar Lampung is a small city.

The first thing that we did when arriving at Bandar Lampung was checking in at the hotel. We live at Novotel Lampung. And the hotel is famous for the view, and yes it was! Luckily, me and my mom got a very nice room at 11th floor with 2 side view which were the seaview and the mountain view. It was amazing, especially in the afternoon (when the sun really brights) and the night (when all the city lights turn on). 

This is the mountain view. Beautiful!

This is the sea view. I like this one more.

These are the hotel view. The hotel has infinity swimming pool.
(ps: I stole this photo from my brother's iPhone, :p)

This is the hotel looks like. It's a very big hotel in a small city.

So, the views are extraordinary right? I love the views very much. How about you? But wait, I'm not gonna share only about the view, but I will share some pictures that good for your appetite. Yes, food! I love food. And my mom took me to try some of the local food there. The highlight of my culinary trip are Pempek 88 and Bubur Umar. Here some of the pictures.

 This is my favorite of all Pempek variants. Pempek panggang, ladies! 

These are variants of Pempek. Lampung local food.

This is Bubur Soto. Regular chicken porridge, with Soto soup added! I never find this food in my city tho.

I'm really sorry ladies to post this delicious photos in my blog, and perhaps I just ruined your diet! Hehe. But, yes, even though Bandar Lampung is a small city, it has a lot of culture, culinary, and good places to see. And my favorite thing is there was no traffic jam at all, not like my current city. It was too bad I just visit ed for 2 days. I want travel more in Lampung. Or may be, you interest to visit Lampung after I post these pictures?? I bet you are! Please, do tell me your comment of this city story or tweet me in @notjustbeauty

Thank you for reading, my readers.
