Ever since the first release, I'm an avid fans of Kakao Friends,That's why this time i'll talk all about our little pink friend, Apeach on some Korean make up products! (
What day is today ? I lost count already. As days goes by, this quarantine feels like normal. At first, I didn't think much about it yet at some point I thought, never mind.. as long as I stay indoor, stay home all week long.. nothing can go wrong.. Yet, my skin just can't lie. Yes, I got an eczema attack all over my palms ,it just got worsen earlier this month..
Thank God, I found a way out ! Last week as I consult with my doctor via online, He said that Stress is the main cause. Yep, you read it right, Stay At Home can cause Stress too, as it weaken your immune system , your rhythm of life can't get along with 'new normal' just yet.That's why some of you may encounter breakouts or many skin problems like me... Aside from taking some medications , discipline myself with sunbathing to boost more of vitamin D , and doing some sport daily, I find it important to look after my skincare regime once more. I didn't want to encounter any skin problem again , so I converted into something that is simple but beneficial .Here I'm sharing my only essential skincare routine products that helps me stay sane especially during this time of pandemic
As I'm approaching in club of late 20's ,I'm starting to shift my skincare to anti aging series . This one got my attention the most, The Face Shop Yehwadam Revitalizing. I am intentionally trying their Cream first before actually get the whole sets to 'test the water' whether my skin actually love it or not.
THE FACE SHOP YEHWADAM REVITALIZING CREAM
made in Korea
price : around IDR 600.000
ingredients . without any parabens added !
This revitalizing anti-aging cream is formulated with the energy of Korean natural ingredients. The smooth cream firms skin and provides the finishing touch for a healthy, vibrant look. YEHWADAM REVITALIZING CREAM completes a shiny skin YEHWADAM REVITALIZING Line preserves the indigenous color of your skin
Gyuhwabang revitalizes
Saengyoon method preserves the vital energy of ingredients
* What is the Saengyoon method? It allows the external moist to slowly impregnate into the ingredients to preserve intact their vital energy. -*cr : THEFACESHOP WEBSITE
Really like the design ,yet not fond of the packaging.. Jar type packaging with mini spatula like this always bugs me when it comes to hygiene. It's way better if they change to pump bottle model instead,anyone agree?
This cream is supposed to use as last steps of your skincare regimen .I rather call it finishing cream. It has thick consistency and very sticky, that's why a pea- size is enough for the entire face.You need to gently pat and wait till it fully and equally absorbed .What i love is ,seconds after, my skin is so much hydrated, bouncy and plump at the same time.And not just that, it last for more than hours, unlike my old skincare series.
My skin is categorized as normal-dry and haven't experienced any breakout since. I have to say this skincare doing a great job on making the skin more nutritious and healthy,yet i don't know if it's really helps fix anti aging problem which older women usually encounter (- e.g sagging skin/ smile lines,etc.) I guess i'll find out when I try the serum and emulsion as well. But, It does great job on remove dull skin away ,therefore my face looks even lively then before. It's rather a normal and 'safe' anti aging skincare to begin with. ( Rate - 4/5)
What Do You Think of The Face Shop Yehwadam Revitalizing Series ?
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 :)
Hello guys! Life's been so busy lately and I feel like i need my 'me' time more. Yet for now,the only 'me time' that I really enjoy is when i'm doing my face care routine even is just a simple and quick face routinebecause it can release stress like magic.Thanks to Kawaii Beauty Japan who really understands my needs ,they sent me a set of Cowstyle Skin LiFE Face Care Series ; Cleansing Foam and Face Lotion just in time.You guys don't know I always wanted to try this product ever since I've tried Cowstyle Milky Body Soap and end up really like it!
Skin LiFE is a face care series from Cowstyle (Personal Care brand made in Japan) that keeping you skin extra moist with its dense and soft foam.With Skin LiFE , it's possible to get that flawless bare face for real ♥
Skin LiFE Face Care Function :
1. Firming and moist the skin by fix it into fine textured skin,acne free and smaller face pores.
2. Brighten the skin and Removes any dead skin cells around the pores
3.Oil-Free,Non Comedogenic and Allergy tested ( Please note ,there is possibility that some people still have chance to get acne and allergy problems)

Bests use it at evening after work, because it completely removes make up dirt,excess sebum and even blackhead.It also leaving skin moisturized with its 'fruit acid' ingredients.With these function,double cleansing is not necessary!
I really love its fresh peachy scent ~ really calming and relaxing
❀Cowstyle Skin LiFE Face Lotion❀
Made in Japan
150 mL
Price : about IDR 50.000/bottle
After washing your face with Skin LiFE Cleansing Foam,it's time to complete this simple face care routine step with Skin LiFE Face Lotion! It helps prevent acne ,maintain healthy look and even better extra moist the skin.
Unlike Skin LiFE Cleansing foam which is generally have a light fresh-fruity scent ,this Skin LiFE Face Lotion doesn't have any particular scent that i could remember.Later did i know, it's all because it's fragrance free which is very good for someone who have a sensitive skin in order to minimize any irritation risk.
Speaking about scent, I kinda questioning the necessity of giving it inside the ingredients list.See ,when you follow the rules ; use the Face Lotion as last step,the scent of the Cleansing Foam would be slowly vanished just because the Face Lotion is scentless.So what's the point of giving it at first place? Would it be even better,if they make it scentless too?
❀Conclusion❀
As someone with a normal skin type, I started to give this products. I love how Skin LiFE Cleansing Foam easily lather ,gently cleanse my face without making it feels tight and dry while Skin LiFE Face Lotion gives fresh feeling after use.
Plus, they are pretty good helping reduce redness caused by acne just like the brand claimed. One day, I got this one potential-acne in my forehead yet i didn't apply any, particularly just to test out whether Skin LiFE really works for this acne thing.To my surprise, it really is! In just one day the redness is slowly disappeared ! Well ,I wonder what if this product used by someone who has acne prone and oily skin? Maybe they would feel more significant effect than me.
RATE 4/5
For someone out there who want to keep your skin healthy with a simple face care routine during your busy day
Berbicara tentang skincare, otomatis yang muncul di benak kalian adalah keadaan kulit kalian dan perawatannya ,bukan? Jujur aku sendiri dengan jenis kulit yang normal ,perawatannya kulitku sebenarnya ngga terlalu rumit tapi ada juga nih 1 problem kulit utama yang sering kutemui yaitu warna kulit tidak merata.Pernah nih,aku pergi liburan tapi lupa pakai sunscreen jadinya pigmen kulit berubah dan yang lebih sedih,sekali terjadi, proses penyembuhan kembali ke warna kulit semula terbilang lama.
Jadinya, produk skincare seperti sunscreen / tabir surya dan lightening selalu afdol dalam daftar skincare regime ku, seperti 2 produk ini yang kudapat baru-baru ini yaitu Vitacreme B12 Day Cream dan Vitacreme B12 Vitablanc Lightening Cream.
✿VITACREME B12 Day Cream Sun Protection SPF 30+++✿ Made in Switzerland
VitaCreme B12 Day Cream ini ngga hanya berfungsi sebagai tabir surya aja tapi juga sebagai krim anti polusi , anti penuaan dan anti wrinkles akibat dari sunbeams. Kandungan UVA-UVB filter solar serta kombinasi berbagai vitamin yang baik bagi kulit (B,C,E dan B12)
VitaCreme Day Cream Ingredients
Packaging VitaCreme Day Cream berupa tube layaknya suncreen pada umumnya dan selalu di-seal rapi agar tetap steril pada tiap new product nya.Well,dari segi desain ,packagingnya menurutku agar boring karena berkesan monoton dan penuh dengan tulisan .
✿CARA PAKAI : Aplikasikan tiap pagi,15 menit sebelum beraktivitas di luar ruangan pada seluruh kulit secar merata,secukupnya.Atau bisa juga dipakai sebagai makeup base.
✿TEXTURE & SCENT : Tekstur krim ini pekat dan lebih ke buttery, namun nggak terlalu lengket setelah di usap merata.Untuk bau-nya aku kurang suka sih karena agak berbau medis gimana gitu tapi it's still tolerable dan bakalan hilang dalam beberapa saat.
✿VITACREME B12 VitaBlanc Lightening Beauty Cream✿
Made in Switzerland
Netto : 50 ml
Kalau VitaCreme Day Cream tadi buat pencegahannya,VitaCreme B12 VitaBlanc Lightening Cream ini aku pakai buat tahapan penyembuhan dan membantu regenerasi warna kulitku yang tidak merata karena fungsinya lebih ke lightening dan menjaga dark spot agar tidak bertambah .VitaCreme Vitablanc ini nggak cuma buat kulit saja lho, tapi juga bisa mencerahkan warna bibir!
VitaCreme B12 Vitablanc Ingredients
Sama seperti VitaCreme Day Cream, bentuknya tube dan disegel untuk produk barunya.Tapi Vitablanc ini lebih panjang dan mirip banget sama packaging pasta gigi !
✿CARA PAKAI : Aplikasikan tiap pagi atau malam pada wajah dan leher yang telah dibersihkan ,pijat perlahan sampai krim terserap sempurna oleh kulit.
✿TEXTURE & SCENT : tekstur krim ini lebih watery,runny ketimbang VitaCreme Day Cream tadi dan otomatis lebih cepat meresap. Efek moist-nya terasa dalam sekali pakai.Untuk baunya.. well, aku rasa sama aja sih :(
✿CONCLUSION✿
Dari dua pemakaian produk di atas, Belum ada efek yang terlalu signifikan sih di aku. Mungkin karena aku baru pakai nggak begitu lama ;kurang dari 1 bulan.Tapi hasil instan keduanya adalah kulitku terasa lebih lembab ,ternutrisi dan halus.Tapi Sejauh ini yang paling kelihatan ngefek adalah VitaCreme Day Cream karena kulitku jadi nggak gampang terbakar matahari walaupun aku pakainya cepet-cepet dan kadang kadarnya sedikit dan waktu di ruang ber AC pun kulitku nggak gampang kering seperti biasanya.Untuk Vitablanc, beberapa dark spots ku mulai leihatan pudar meski belum sepenuhnya.Oh ya yang paling penting ,nggak ada efek samping iritasi yang aku alami sejauh ini dalam pemakaian kedua produk.So I guess I'll stick with these two and wait for the further improvements on my skin tone :)
Today marks the end of January..First month of 2016 just passed like that,I've been busy working and taking care of stuffs here and there,learning new things and start doing my new year resolution even though it is kinda hard sometimes lol.But i believe when there's a will there's a way.Never back off until I gradually accomplished them .How's yours ?
Entering new year also means cleaning up my vanity table.Out with the old, In with the new.Basically, Restocking some daily beauty essential! So here's I'm gonna share my (mini) January 2016 Beauty Haul :)
✾KAO MEGRHTYM STEAM EYE MASK✾
Never knew this product before until I went to Tokyu Hands Store,which sell many Japanese unique beauty product.This eye mask is super perfect to comfort eyes after working all day long in front of computer.Moreover,it has a nice scent! The person who invent this must be genius and i really thank him/her for this product lol. I highly recommend this to anyone who want to relieve stress instantly!
✾THE SKINHOUSE - ALOE VERA MOISTURE EMULSION✾
✾HADA LABO - GOKUJYUN ULTIMATE MOISTURIZING LOTION FOR DRY/NORMAL SKIN✾
Bought two emulsion at the same time .One is drugstore brand and been very bomb.I bet you know which. ;) Just curious ,which one suits me best .Is it the Japanese one or Korean one
✾ELIANTO NAIL COLOUR POLISH IN 01 VANILLA STICK & NUDE PURPLE PEARL✾
Run out of nail polishes and i can't live without them .Got super lucky found out that it was on promo buy one get one.See the color match each other ,pastel color ftw ♥ I'm really into them these days!
✾THE FACESHOP STYLE MY EYEBROW IN BROWN✾
Bought new eyebrow liner just because i just changed my hair color to reddish brown.It will be super weird if my eyebrow color is still in orange tone just like my previous hair color.lol.although it's a pencil type liner ,it is waterproof and best of all ,price is reasonably cheap!
✾CANMAKE COVER AND STRETCH CONCEALER UV✾
Best-est concealer I've ever had,super nice quality.Coincidentally, the color match with my BB cream!
That's all my new year beauty haul.Not that much,huh?That's practically because I'm doing my 2016 beauty resolution to limit myself of buying unnecessary beauty product. Tho i keep in mind that I'm still very open to any good beauty product to improve my beauty skill and skincare ritual.Now ,every time I go for beauty sprees ,i remind myself that it is an invest.I won't buy product without think twice. Most important,it has to really met my needs ,not my wants
