QUINNA 1ST GRADUATION SHOW

Wednesday, November 27, 2013

I think it has been loooong looong time ago since my last post about fashion. I just opened my blog and realized it. My blog is almost full with beauty-review post. Now, I just wanna share my experience last night.
As you can see in my previous post, I have fashion design course in Quinna School of Fashion. Quinna held the 1st graduation show last night. Unfortunately I haven't done my portofolio yet, that's why I join the costume parade, not the graduation. Do you still remember my design? No? :(
Okay, I'll remind you again..


The graduation was held on 6 pm in Malang Town Square, but all of the students should come on 5pm. And for your information I have prepared myself since two weeks ago. I went to clinic and did facial. Also before make up, I use SK II Whitening Mask (I'll write review about it soon).. I really wanna look great in this ocassion. My MUA is not a famous one, but one thing I love about her is she used high quality products for her client. Yesterday she used POLA and other Japanese brands. Honestly, I hate matte make-up. But yesterday, she showed me if matte make-up isn't bad at all. And I'm officially so curiouuuuus about POLA products :((( *checked my pocket, crying* Why? cause it makes my skin so smoooooth and bright. I don't know whether it's because SK II mask or POLA powder.


And  I will posted my performance yesterday below :D I designed my costume inspired by Hawaiian Culture. All photos were taken by my boyfriend. Yeah, luckily he accompanied my yesterday from the beginning till the end *smooch*
 
 
on the stage, close enough? lol
 

call me miss honolulu ;)
 





special thanks to :
- God for making this graduation succeed
- Mom and Dad for keeping support me
- Quinna School of Fashion for giving me this great opportunity
- My MUA for doing her best
- My lovely boyfie for accompanying me and capturing every moment perfectly
- Everyone who is reading this post x)
 
Loveyou all..
Until next post ;) 
 

 
 

REVIEW : LANEIGE WATER SLEEPING PACK

Friday, November 22, 2013
Today I'm back to review a product from Laneige again..
Can you guess it?
..................
Laneige Water Sleeping Pack \m/
I know all of you have already known this product, right? This is one of the Laneige best seller. It's sold every 30 seconds around the world.
The first place is Laneige Original Essence, this sleeping pack is in the second place, and the third place is Laneige BB Cushion which I had reviewed in my previous . I'm so addicted to Laneige products, that's why I can't stop myself from buying this three best sellers :( I'll gonna review the Original Essence soon ;)
So, here goes...




elegant jar - nice packaging

Product Benefits

Night time skin transmission (permeability) shows higher rate than the one in the day time.

Applying it right before sleep time, the best state for the skin transmission according to the skin circadian rhythm, maximizes the efficiency of overnight water supply.

The function of skin remarkably declines in the night time. Enriched with Beta-glucan, Water Sleeping Pack_EX deeply hydrates fatigue and dry skin while Ceramide SLN formula strengthens the skin barrier.

With containing the Snow Water, it helps to keep your skin look more crystal clear and vitalized.


- Antioxidant effect of Hunza Apricot Extracts helps brighten skin tone evenly by removing harmful oxygen and purifying skin.

- Recoverine from Chestnuts promotes turnovers of horny layers to remove dead cells away for vigorous water supply and sleek skin texture.

- An aromatic essence compound exclusively developed by AMOREPACIFIC, Sleepscent™(Patent application No. 10-2009-0043726), helps to relax your mind and body and derive for a good sleep. A good sleep effect allowing sufficient relaxation eventually reinforces skin restoration for healthier skin condition. Essential oils from Orange Flower, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Sandal Wood etc. are contained in the Sleepscent™.

- Light gel-type texture without stickiness but moisture leaves you a comfortable sleep.

How to Use

1. In the evening, follow the face relaxing massage after applying skin refiener and emulsion after face wash.

2. After taking appropriate amount(2.5cm in diameter recommended), mark on nose tipe,cheeks,forehead, and chin areas, and feel the scent for about 3 seconds. * Relax your body and mind through the Sleepscent™.

3. Gently spread over the face from inner part to outer part along the skin texture.

4. Go to sleep after absorption without rinsing off. (Wash face in the next morning)



* Use once or twice a week.

* Apply more than recommended amount when your skin is particulary dry.

* Open the cap and breathe in the scent of Water Sleeping Pac_EX about 5 seconds before use when you feel a heavy stress.

* Apply to neck area for neck care.

In my opinion, this product has really made my skin looks glowy but not oily in the morning, I feel my skin becomes so smooth and healthy. I always use it in the night when I had to attend some important ocassion the next day. Though it's little bit pricey, but it's worth. Laneige always comes with pricey product but the quality is as excellent as the price :))
FYI, Laneige comes from Amore Pacific, same as Etude House. But Laneige is more expensive because it's included premium brand.

Pros :
- Makes your skin smooth, glowy, not oily, brighter, looks healthy in the next day
- Smells really nice, such as aromatherapy
- It has light texture, easy to absorb

Cons :
- None, it's worth with the price

Rating : 5/5

REVIEW : Kerastase Reflection Choma Riche Serum

Thursday, November 21, 2013
Hello there! How's your day?
I'm gonna review one of Kerastase product, uh, you don't know about this brand? Let me tell you a little thing about it.
Kerastase is a luxury haircare brand. The brand forms part of the professional products division of the multi-national Loreal Group. Established in 1964 in France, the brand first expanded through Europe, followed by Japan in 1990 and in North America in 1999. Kérastase is exclusively distributed through high-end hair salons. It is a leading brand in several countries in the professional and luxury haircare segments.

Well.. Well.. Well..
Then why do I suddenly move into this serum? I'm a mythic oil lover from Loreal actually *rolling eyes*
The answer is........
I.. just.... dyed ..my hair again!!
TADAAA~
again? Yes, I have dyed my hair before, right after I graduated from my High School, but the color didn't appear clearly :( The combination of superduper dark brown and little bit red. I have choose the lighter color but don't know why the result was so Eww~
What's my hair color now?
I chose golden brown with blonde highlight :D

this is my first-dyed hair

this is my second-dyed hair
So, what do you think?
:))

That's why I have to buy color-treated shampoo and serum. And Kerastase is one of trusted brand I think. It can prevent your hair color to fade. Fyi now my hair is fade little by little, just can't imagine if I don't use both of this product, it will fade so rapidly :(( . I'm gonna review about the shampoo soon :D

Here goes..








There are several benefits of this product, based on Kerastase advertisement :

  • Provides detangling and styling ease
  • Maximizes color radiance and shine
  • Moisturizes hair, leaving it soft and supple to the touch
  • UV filter and color protection
  • Protects hair from external aggressions
In my opinion, it has very nice smell and it does makes my hair looks healthy and shiny. It also maximises my color-treated hair. There's no doubt not to use it. I'm so in love with this serum!

Pros :
- Makes your hair looks healthy and shiny
- Smells extremely nice
- Maximises color-treated hair
- Protect my hair from hair-dryer and other styling tools.

Cons :
- Expensive! It's $37 for 125 ml size

Rating : 5/5

REVIEW : L'OCITTANE IMMORTELLE BRIGHTENING WATER

Thursday, November 07, 2013
When I knew my toner that I bought from doctor was almost finished, I'm a little confused to decide which toner I should bought. I need toner that can moisture my skin well, though I have no problem with my skin at all. I have normal skin. The story began when I had a modelling competition at Surabaya. Modelling? Haha. Yap. But, I didn't finish the competition. I prefer to go to Dempo Fair. I didn't attend the final day. Crazy? That's me! Okay, back to the main topic. It's a little hard for me to focus, yeaah that's one of my weaknesses lol. After attended the audition, I went to Ciputra World. I don't know but it's so happened then I stopped at L'ocittane store and asked for toner. They offered me Angelica toner and Immortelle toner. It's a little bit annoying at first, I only had two choices >< I want to buy the angelica at first because it's cheaper than the immortelle. But listened to their promotion and I can't stand the Angelica smell, I decide to buy the Immortelle. And I have no regret at all ;)
Here it is :



Immortelle Brightening Water is an alcohol-free toner which helps even the complexion and add luminosity to the skin. A key step in your skin brightening face care routing, it is made with Immortelle floral water, Bellis Perennis extract and a Vitamin C derivative. Our new formula is enriched with Garden Nasturtium extract, which increases the skin's natural ability to reflect light.

Immortelle is a golden yellow flower that never wilts or withers. Its essential oil is rich in active molecules with unique cosmetic anti-aging properties.
The Daisy opens its petals each day with the sunrise and closes them at dusk. Its flower offers a brightening extract that contributes to regulated skin tone.

Pros :
- Brightens up ( a little)
- Smells great
- Moisture well and doesn't tighten your skin
- Light

Cons :
- Pricey, as usual lol

Rating : 4/5

Maybe

REVIEW : LANEIGE SNOW BB SOOTHING CUSHION

Hello, fellas! Long time no see you!
Honestly, I wanna make a post about my preparation of Fashion Parade today, but because some reasons I cancelled it. I'm so sorry :( I'm gonna post it soon. Now let's talk about my new baby born!
What's that?
It's LANEIGE SNOW BB SOOTHING CUSHION!


Yeah! After thinking about this cushion almost everynight, I decided to buy this one! And I have no regret at all. This cushion is perfectly great!! 10 thumbs up! *only if I had 10 thumbs* :))
Let's check it out!

THIS IS THE SIMPLE AND CHIC BOX , 
WE'RE GIVEN ONE REFILL TOO.


SUPER HYGIENIC PACKAGING (SEALED)
 THIS IS THE LOVELY CUSHION AND SUPER SOFT PUFF

WHEN YOU FLIP THE PUFF, THIS HAS VERY SOFT LAYER AND 
IT CAN ABSORB THE CUSHION VERY WELL. NO WASTED CUSHION!


How to Use
 1. Apply onto puff and smooth along the texture of skin.  Then, pat to increase adherence.  Apply another layer to improve coverage.
 2. If there is no more content after you press the cushion with your finger, it means that the product is finished.  Replace with a refill.
[How to Replace with Refill]

Close the container, flip it, and press the back of container using both hands to separate the container.
Always recap after use.  If it is not stored covered, helpful moisturizers and other ingredients can evaporate to shrink the contents.
[How to Take Care of Puff]
 Keep the puff clean all the time and gently massage it in lukewarm water with neutral detergent or puff cleanser to wash it.  Rinse thoroughly until the detergent is washed away, release all moisture, and dry completely in a shady place.  This way, you can use it for an extended period of time.
 Always recap after use.  If it is not stored covered, helpful moisturizers and other ingredients can evaporate to shrink the contents.


I officially fall in love with this cushion since the first day I used. Few days before I bought it, almost everyday I'm confused. Do you know why? I'm confused of thinking about which cushion I should buy. I couldn't choose between Etude product or Laneige product, though they came from the same manufacturer Amore Pacific. I already knew that Laneige product is better than Etude, that's why it's much more expensive. But don't know why I'm still confused. The reason why I bought this product is Laneige contains BB cream and Etude contains Foundation. I prefer BB Cream than Foundation cause it's lighter and I don't have terrible pimples or blemishes on my face.
 Here's my face after using this product!



Pros :
- Medium coverage ( I don't  recommend it to person who has terrible pimples or blemishes)
- Glowy and natural effect
- The smell is nice
- Whitening effect
- Moisture and healthy looking effect

Cons :
- Pricey, I bought it $39 in Laneige Counter but it comes with one refill.

Rating :
- 5/5 ( I'll give it 100 if I could *lol*)

Purchase again?
Definitely yes!
