Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara [review]

Sorry for lack of updates these days.. 

My internet connection is going crazy during this current weather >__<

Tends to be unstable, and almost being disconnected every night..

Hopefully it will be more stable for next month :s

So, tonight I will share my thoughts about Bad Gal Lash Mascara from Benefit~

I received this mascara from the beautiful ci Lulu few months ago ♥

What it is:
The BADgal line of mascaras from Benefit are full of "BAD-itude!" The rich, sexy formula and oversized brush build thick, beautiful and bodacious lashes.

What it does:
• BADgal Lash (the original) is like a set of sexy black false eyelashes...without the glue! 

What else you need to know:
Wear them alone or start with BADgal Lash, then layer BADgal Blue on the tips for an eye-opening effect.

I guess this one is sample size, because the fullsize one has taller and slimmer packaging.

Well, I thank to ci Lulu because of her, I could tried this mascara ^.^

To be honest I was quite curious about this mascara before!

Packaging

Looks professional, made from plastic and not look-cheap

sample size content: 4g or 0.14 oz

Applicator

It's quite big and not really suitable for small-eyes like mine '___'

When I swatched it on my hand, poured water and rubbed it, it turned out like this.

Performance

It lengthen my eyelash but doesn't has volumizing effect.

It's not waterproof nor smudgeproof. It's quite long lasting but not tearproof as well >_<

Too bad, this mascara will not considered as one of my favorites :(

Test it out!

right eyes

left eyes

As you can see.. this mascara clearly not waterproof and smudgeproof.. Well, I'm not going be disappointed because at first Benefit never stated that this mascara is waterproof and smudgeproof. If you'd like to try the waterproof one, you better try this one.

It has better applicator and they claimed that this mascara is waterproof, smudgeproof and tearproof! I wonder why Sephora sells them with same price, $19...

Overall

I won't use this mascara for daily basis.. ._. It tend to smudges at the edge of my eye and I don't want to be like a panda! Maybe I'll only use this mascara for EOTD or makeup experiments purpose.

What I love <3

+ Nice packaging

+ Not clumping

What I hate </3

- Not really lengthens my eyelash

- Not waterproof, smudgeproof and tearproof

- Bulky applicator

- Expensive (for the fullsize)

Rating: 2/5

Repurchase? No

Recommended? No. You should try the waterproof version instead.

Anyway I bring you a GOOD NEWS!!

Who's excited?? *w*

TCFS Angel Hand Cream [review]

Hi all~ Finally I can present you a new review! :D

Lately my internet connection was sucks, gladly it turned on normally now.

Today I'm gonna share with you my thoughts about Angel Hand Cream from Too Cool For School :) For those of you who doesn't know what Too Cool For School is, it's a cosmetic brand from South Korea. TCFS could be considered as young cosmetic brand.

Descriptions:

It could moisturize your dry hands and keep your hands like an angel hands. It's also suitable for all skin types. 
Shea butter has proven as an effective treatment for fading scars, eczema, burns, rashes, acne, blemishes, dark spots, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretch marks, and wrinkles. It helps to restore skin elasticity 
It works excellently as general skin moisturizer ideally for severely dry skin.

Packaging

It has quite unique packaging, kinda reminds me with toothpaste. The packaging was made by light metal material, with silver as its main color :)

I like how secure the packaging is. It won't spill out in your bag or purse.

There are three variants of this hand cream, mine is in Shea Butter.

Oh they should've put English translation as well
-____-"

Well, I only could caught some ingredients of this hand cream >.<

Performance

It moisturizing my hands well, easy to absorb and didn't leave sticky feeling afterwards :)

It has NICE SCENT!! Hmmmm reminds me with baby scent that innocent and soft ^,^

*How to use this hand cream, squeeze it gently to get its cream*

Made in Korea

Content: 40ml

Price: I don't know the exact price.. Maybe less than IDR 80k or $8

Color & Texture

it's white-colored, easy to adsorb and not sticky

What I love <3
+ Moisturizing my skin well
+ Nice scent!!
+ Not sticky
+ Easy to adsorb
+ Convenient packaging

What I hate </3
- Nothing atm ^^

Rating: 4.5/5

Repurchase? Dunno xD since I still have many hand creams in stock
Recommended? Yes ^^

Have you tried this hand cream?

Thanks for reading ^^ Hope you find this review is helpful

SilkyGirl Pure Fresh Oil-Control 2-Way Foundation [review]

Hello all! ^u^ I'm back with another review!~

I'd like to introduce you my current compact powder.. two-way foundation to be exact :p

It's Pure Fresh Oil-Control 2-Way Foundation from SilkyGirl~

What's 2-way foundation? For a simple explanation, it's kind of a compact powder with high coverage like foundation but has lightweight as normal compact powder.

Duh I always lazy forgot to take pictures of this product >.< lol

So, let's get started~

SilkyGirl Fresh Oil-Control 2-Way Foundation

*SPF 20

*Shine-free

*Fragrance-free

IBB Makeup Challenge: Must Have Red!

Hellooooo my beauties! \( ^ ε ^ )/

Finally this month I could managed to join IBB Makeup Challenge (^0^)/ *yeay*

Actually I don't have enough confidence to show you my makeup look >.<

I think my makeup skill still far far away from perfection, but at the end I encouraged my self to try and do my best. To be chosen as 5 candidates or not, it doesn't really matter :D at least I've tried.

So, this is it.. My MUST HAVE RED look ♥

For this look, I gave attention to my soft eye makeup, wearable red lipstick, red nail polish and red streak on my hair! 

Product that I used:

FACE: Etude House Precious Mineral BB Bright Fit | Palgantong Theatrical Powder | Revlon Photoready Concealer | ELF Golden Bronzer | NYX Powder Blush | Benefit Girl Meets Pearl Highlighter

EYES: Tony Moly Berry Lovely Eye Primer | La Colors Artist's Eye Paletter 50 eyeshadows (red) | Luview Triple Baked Eyeshadow #03 White Indigo (white & cooper) | Daiso Ellefar Eyeliner | Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

LIPS: EOS Lip balm | BH 32 colors lip palette | Tony Moly Mini tint

Practically I didn't apply too much blush on and bronzer, because I don't want to be like an "ondel-ondel" xD With red streak hair, red eyeshadow and red lipstick, you shouldn't add more colors on your face.. simply choose which part that you want to be focus on.

Personally I don't like red blood lipstick, it doesn't suit to my taste and my face >.<

That's why I created red gradient lipstick, that will compliment my look without make me look much older, also more wearable :)

For eyes, I used natural false lashes from Etude House. Thick false lashes won't suitable for this "must have red" wearable look.

Hopefully you won't vomit after seeing my photos spam xD LOL.

What do you think about my look? I'll appreciate any single comment ^-^

[UPDATE 24.01.12] 
I was chosen as Top 5 finalists!! T_____T

Thank you for reading all (＾▽＾)

Event: The Body Shop Online Gathering ☆

Sorry for another delayed report~ xD Finally I could managed to write this report >.<

Couple of days ago, at December 12th, 2012; I was invited by The Body Shop Indonesia to attend private gathering with some of online buddies. Some of The Body Shop's lovers were invited to this event, like bloggers, facebook, and twitter friends. I came with my fellow Surabaya Beauty Bloggers, and that event was held in Rolaas Cafe, Tunjungan Plaza Surabaya.

There's a public event on Atrium Tunjungan Plaza at the moment. The Body Shop was campaigning "Green Fair" movement and that public event was held for three days (December 12th-15th)

cr: TheBodyShop's twitter

Bring your whatever empty bottles and get freebies! :D

*unfortunately I didn't bring any T_T*

The will do recycle for the empty bottles to reduce plastic garbage, how thoughtful they are! (♥▽♥)

see how crowded it was? they also provide free makeover at that moment ^^
cr: TheBodyShop's twitter

That day, I went to the event as soon as I finished my work at office. At first I thought I would go home first, take a shower, change my clothes, and do heavier makeup; but due to some reason finally I departed to the event immediately without change my clothes and take a shower >.< lol. I only wore compact powder, concealer and lip balm for office, so yeah.. I was kinda messy at the moment. I even didn't bring my camera *again* T_T yeah, this situation was out of my plan, lol.

Thanks to cie Shasha who kindly lent me her makeup ♥♥

*at least, I would look little bit refreshed after touch-up xD*

We even had dinner together before went to the event ^-^

*we didn't expected that all guests would get meals from The Body Shop.. Oh nuoo!* =w=

See the Body Shop's campaign.. GREEN FAIR

"Let's reduce plastic.. Be a green consumer"

I always love The Body Shop's concept and campaign! I'm quite concern with global warming issue and I'm trying my best to give my contribution for a better earth :)

Big change always started by small step, like reducing water usage, planting more tree, reducing electricity usage and so on.

Back to the topic, so this was how the event's going

All guests~

We have nice chit-chat, discussing about The Body Shop products while enjoying our dinner. After that, The Body Shop held a makeup demo! :D

There were two kind of makeup look for the demo:

1. Dramatic Christmas Look

(MUA: Mas Iman, model: Kiky)

the result:

2. Natural Christmas Look

(MUA: Mbak Nadia; model: Hana)

the result:

cr: Hana's blog

Hana got a sunkissed look ^,^ I'm so curious with the multifunction product that Body Shop's MUAs used.. that was Shimmer Wave!

Can be used as powder eyebrow, smokey look eyeshadow, contour, and bronzer at the same time! *w* ♥ It so pigmented as well. Aaahh i want it! Will buy it someday hehe.

After saw the makeup demo, I changed my mind about The Body Shop's makeup product. At first I thought that Body Shop makeup product wasn't comparable with their skincare ranges, I admit that I was wrong. Their makeup also has nice quality =D As great as their skincare products!

Their products are good, and the most important part is.. they only use safe ingredients, no animal testing and concern to global warming issue. I was kinda amazed by them ヾ(☆▽☆)

The event was ended at 9 PM, and I got so many useful tips and new knowledge about makeup! The event was super fun! (^▽^)

Especially when I could gathered with my lovely friends ♥♥♥
