Let's talk about this thing that I haven't blogged for a while : Make Up. Lately, I'm more into simple and light make up . I don't know why and, probably it's because of my daily schedule that force me to do my makeup routine as fast as possible.That's why I've been looking into a base product that can hold for all day long but still light and cover up blemishes as well.. My Recent purchase and recommendation is Jill Stuart Beauty Airy Stay Flawless Powder Foundation.
It's been a while for me , writing review about hair color. The latest one is Liese Jewel Pink (read here) in December 2016 and so far, I been using it for more than 3 times and couldn't find any better color .Earlier this year, Liese Japan just dropped some new color and i could't be more than happy to try. Because i'm in mood of into brown color and reddish shades, my choice goes with Provence Rose.

Provence Rose is considered as the lightest color in warm brown category. Even though it still has a hint of red tint, it's more into brown color. Unlike my previous goal,this time, I didn't expect to go with vibrant color like orange or red because I want to naturally darken it and perhaps,it's my last hair color too before actually back to my natural black hair (It's already 5 years for me, coloring my hair non-stop,lol), besides,as much as I know, darker color will make you look slight classy,

THE RESULT
Rate : 4/ 5
Yay ,My hair turns into warm brown as I expected, the yellowish shades have gone and Im happy it changes into a bit of red shades instead. The other good side is ...my hair is getting smoother , plus it smells soo good too, maybe because of the rinse off treatment. The only down side is,it causes hair loss...( i can see it alrd after shampooing) :( perhaps it's a signal that I should end my hair color journey. If you experience the same thing with hair color, try using hair loss treatment and not shampooing your hair too often in order the color to stay longer too.
Read about my hair bubble experience with different brand :
This was my recent purchase of February. Little did i know , I've spent so much on beauty products last month ,including monthly haul lol (read here). My main compact foundation which is Shiseido Integrate that I bought at Ginza 2 years ago already have hit pan. Don't know if I'm too lazy to try another brand or I'm just playing safe here, what's on my mind is only " i need to get another Shiseido compact as my main' and so here it is
SHISEIDO SHEER MATIFYING COMPACT FOUNDATION (refill)
Shade 020 , Spf 10
made in Japan
Price : around IDR 420.000
paraben free and non comedogenic
*The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends this product as an effective broad spectrum sunscreen*
Why I choose this product among the rest is prolly because the refill is just fits my old Integrate Mineral Case perfectly! I don't need to spend another bucks on separated cases. Plus , it has a matte finish , free of paraben, and made in Japan ,( yes ,I was that obsessed with Japanese cosmetic)
Thus it's only refill, it's already included a new sponge puff
At first, I planned to buy the lightest shade which is 00, Very Light Ocre but Shiseido BA said that the color already discontinued and not available in any other Shiseido Surabaya branch 0_0 without hesitating, I grabbed the second lightest shade which is 020, it's a Natural light Ocre. It has a bit yellowish undertone and I'm kinda afraid it looks weird! Yet when applied evenly, surprisingly, it looks the same with my own natural color but BETTER.
My skin is a normal type and my aim is to get that natural- flawless look, I hope for compact powder foundation that can cover dullness, blemishes, little redness and uneven color. I am also no longer like to have a thick make up like what i usually did. I'll skip thick foundation as a base.Just cc cream along with this compact foundation, concealer, sometimes transparent loose powder as well and i'm all done .This compact foundation has a silky smooth finish with medium coverage and oil control power,with just light dab.Simple way with greater result. that's what perfect for me right now. It's like a great investment without rip off my wallet
For staying power , I guess I'm quite satisfied, 8/10 ! I don't see it turns out cakey either feels heavy after more than 8+ hours. I didn't experience any breakout after using it more than a month.What a relief. Guess i'm gonna stick with this product for long time.

There's new change in my make up routine. I always planned to have my skincare routine products are in one same series and brand. yet, would it be possible If I haven't pick one? It took me more than 3 years to finally settle and starting on this month, it's Menard Japan Tsukika skincare series.
It's all begin with the Tsukika Cleansing cream sample that I received few months ago from as sponsor, and I actually feel like falling in love with the products already and decided to go with its milk lotion too. For Now, I only own these two yet,I'll add the rest when I am done with my old skincares series.
So let's look more about my first impression review of Menard 's Tsukika Cleansing Cream and Milk Lotion !
MENARD TSUKIKA CLEANSING CREAM made in Japan price : around IDR 315.000
Tsukika series is enriched with ingredients from Selenicereus flower extracts.It gives moist,retaining effect to skin which is usually exposed by the UV Rays and dryness and prevents first aging signs. Tsukika line is also applies for any skin type but especially dry skin type.
The Cleansing Cream is used before washing cream as the first step of the daily routine to remove (even ,waterproof based) make up dirt. To use , simply put the cream into our face and slowly rub with fingers till it became oily, then swipes with facial cotton.You'll see how amazing it is leaving your skin feels all dewy and clean. Finish by rinse with lukewarm water and then you are ready to put the second step aka washing cream as usual.
MENARD TSUKIKA MILK LOTION made in Japan price : around IDR 370.000
Milk lotion is the same with emulsion in term of function. The lotion itself smell so good and gentle and the consistency is neither runny or too creamy yet perfect just like a milk. I like to use two pea -sized to moist my face after lotion/toner. This milk lotion function is to prevents skin from dehydration ,external aggression and regulates skin metabolism. It left my skin bouncy and glowing all day long! The only thing I dislike is the packaging... I prefer it comes up with pump model instead not a merely bottle like this which is not so travel-friendly.
Being hooked with these two product, I am also very thankful for the thoughtfulness of Menard's Beauty Advisor . She generously gave me 3 kinds of mini samples of Menard's Tsukika Washing Cream, Tsukika Cream and Tsukika Lotion Moist to try. Now that I've tried 3 of them, I am more sure to continue my love for Menard Tsukika series as my main skincare series and moreover, because of this changes i can feel that my skin condition is getting better and bright each a day. I'll update this review after I bought the complete, normal size of Tsukika series :)
After a while without beauty review, i'm back with one ! This time is a cc cream from Jill Stuart Beauty Japan. I always wanted to own one product from this brand and not just seeing it from Japanese Magazine and this year I finally purchased my first Jill Stuart Beauty 😁
Honestly I could not decide what would be my first haul , is it lips product, cheeks, eye make or ... In the end, I decided to go with base make up ; it is an Airy Tint Watery CC Cream because it will be last for long time and a good base is the foremost , important thing on make up right?
JILL STUART AIRY TINT WATERY CC CREAM
SPF 30 / PA+++ , no. 01 Light Floral Beige
made in Japan
price : ¥ 3200
The packaging design and details is such like no other. Always Sweet yet Luxurious !
Jill Stuart Airy Tint Watery CC Cream is a type of base to moisturizing skin before make up consist of cherry blossom, rosemary ,primrose extract, hyaluronic acid and even pink pearl powder for pure illuminate effect. It has a light , watery texture that refresh your skin at a time.
BEFORE-AFTER USAGE :
My face feel all fresh, bright and ready for make up . I also totally love the scent which is light floral scent. For the outcome,It couldn't cover blemishes , that much since it's a type of watery cream with sheer effect. Color correcting power is probably just 7 out of 10 . Yet , it does cover large pores well and would even better if you topped a compact powder foundation that has medium coverage over it for better result.
Therefore, I think this CC Cream works well and suited for those who has (almost) good skin condition already means someone without major skin problem . I wore it for about 7 hours outside during my trip to Beijing last month and the weather was totally crazy hot yet I didn't find it make my make up cakey nor dry out my skin when i got back at the hotel. It is currently my go-to base make up for traveling or simple look for daily
Aside the CC Cream, I also got two mini samples of Jill Stuart Lasting Tone Up Base in 01 - pure and Everlasting Silk Powder Foundation Crystal Perfection. Tone Up Base is a water base moisturizer for brighten skin and smooth finish that lasts while Silk Powder Foundation Crystal is for translucent and lustrous finish. So.. my order for base make up goes with : Tone Up Base - CC Cream - Silk Powder Foundation. And as expected, maybe because they all in one brand , my base make up look more flawless. There's a sensation that you'll know when you try them, It feels like I'm wearing light make up yet it stays all day and it boost confident for sure 💕
My overall thoughts : I feel like aside for being a high end make up product, the quality of Jill Stuart Beauty is truly worth the price. I'll continue to stick with this brand and maybe add some of their different range of beauty product to my collection in the future.

Last, I do think these two worth the price and suitable for daily-look.Also, if you're new into eye make up , wanna learn how to create soft eye make up without looking too much, you can depend on this two as your basic tools.
