Girl's Generation 소녀시대 Yuri PARTY Makeup Inspired Look Tutorial

Hello everyone! Since Summer is coming, many K-pop groups released new song with Summer theme. The good news is, Girl's Generation a.k.a SNSD 소녀시대 also have come back this season ^___^

I love their new song titled PARTY 파티. Their Music Video feels so energetic and so youthful :D I also love their concept MV, outfits, makeup, and hairstyles. Though I don't think some of them still look good with new hair color, like Sunny and Yoona (tbh they look prettier with brown or black hair color).

Oh anyway, for this comeback, I picked Kwon Yuri's makeup because I never recreated Yuri's makeup before ;)

(another reason is because her hair color is pretty natural and not as bizarre as other members' hair. LOL)

As usual, their makeup always been very simple and easy to do. I hardly see Yuri's eye shadow here, and from what I've observed; her subtle brown winged eyeliner and fuchsia lip color are the main points of her makeup ;)

So let's get started!

DON'T DO #DontJudgeChallenge Without Knowing The Cause

Klik di sini untuk membaca artikel ini dalam Bahasa Indonesia

Recently, I often see people on social media spreading a trend named Don't Judge Challenge or as known as #dontjudgechallenge. I bet all of you at least ever see the video once. At first I know the trend when I was scrolling my Instagram feeds and cringed. People with silly faces and strange drawing, becoming prettier in next seconds (with makeup on). My first thought was: "WTH what is this?"

I didn't really understand the meaning of this challenge, but the more I see the #dontjudgechallenge videos.. It seemed so fun.. From messy face to great face, from unappealing to attractive appearance.
BUT, after I knew the cause, I become discourage and took my decision to follow this trend.

Nah, how about you guys? Have you understand the meaning behind #dontjudgechallenge yet?

It's totally a mistake if you assume this challenge is something about transformation, from zero to hero, or from kiddy to grown-up.

#Dontjudgechallenge references, based on most videos on social media:

1. Thick unibrow

2. Face with tons of freckles and pimples

3. Fat and gross lips

4. Imperfect teeth

Jangan Ikut-ikutan #dontjudgechallenge Kalau Tidak Paham Artinya!

Sebulan terakhir, aku lumayan sering melihat orang-orang di sosial media melakukan yang namanya Don't Judge Challenge atau aksi upload video dengan hashtag #dontjudgechallenge. Aku berani taruhan kalian pasti pernah lihat di sosial media manapun (paling ngga lihat sekilas). Pertama aku tau tentang hashtag tersebut pas lagi asik scroll-scroll Instagram. Aku langsung mengernyitkan dahi karena lihat video muka dicoret-coret tidak lazim, meskipun setelah kameranya ditutupin langsung berubah jadi cantik. Yang langsung muncul di pikiran: "Ih apaan sih. Kurang kerjaan banget."

Pada awalnya sih aku ngga terlalu paham, tapi semakin aku lihat video-video #dontjudgechallenge.. Kok kayaknya seru gitu ya, dari yang jelek; makeup acak-acakan kayak badut terus beberapa detik kemudian langsung jadi cakep. Aku sempat tergoda juga pengen ikutan, tapi setelah tau maksud di balik semua itu, aku jadi mengurungkan niatku.

Nah kalian sendiri bagaimana? Apa sudah paham #dontjudgechallenge itu apa?

Suatu hal yang konyol kalau challenge itu diartikan sebagai masa perubahan / transisi / transformasi dari jelek ke cakep, atau dari kecil ke besar. Sebelum kita buru-buru ikutan, ada baiknya kalian mengetahui terlebih dahulu asal muasal challenge itu berasal.

Biasanya orang-orang yang ikutan upload video ini, mencoret-coret wajah mereka dengan beberapa ciri-ciri:

1. Alis nyambung (unibrow)

2. Muka penuh bintik-bintik (seperti jerawat)

3. Bibir dower / tebal

4. Gigi jelek, tidak sempurna

SHARP AQUOS CRYSTAL - Semangat Tanpa Batas!

Apa yang terlintas pertama kali di benak kalian ketika mendengar kata "SHARP"? Well, siapa sih yang ngga kenal brand elektronik yang sudah sangat kondang ini? ;) SHARP sendiri sudah berdiri sejak tahun 1912, dan telah memproduksi banyak produk elektronik seperti:

• TV LED, Photovoltaic
• Home Appliances (AC, Kulkas, Air Purifier, Mesin Cuci)
• Audio Visual (Speaker, Home Theatre, Audio Portable)
• Small Home Appliances (Blender, Coffee Maker, Hair Dryer, Hair Straightener, Oven, Juicer, Kettle, Microwave, Mixer, Rice Cooker, Toaster, Vacuum Cleaner, Water Dispenser, Water Heater)
• Office Equipment (Information Display Panel, Interactive White Board)

Dengan sedemikian lengkap produk elektronik yang sudah diproduksi oleh SHARP, tak lengkap rasanya kalau SHARP belum merambah ke area Smartphone. Yup, sebenarnya sih sudah dari bertahun-tahun yang lalu SHARP memproduksi handphone, tapi baru sekitar tahun 2010-2012 SHARP mulai memproduksi smartphone. Salah satu smartphone SHARP yang paling diunggulkan sejak tahun 2014 adalah SHARP AQUOS CRYSTAL.

ELONA Fusilli & Penne Auto Curler-Straightener [Review + Demo]

Hello everyone.. Let me announce you the first curling iron that works on me! :D Since long time ago, I was a totally noob in hair styling, I've almost burn my hair with curling iron and became so hopeless in use any heating tools. Thankfully one day I got a chance to try this Elona Fusilli & Penne Auto Curler - Straightener, because I won a giveaway that hosted by Elona World & my blogger friend, Stella Lee ^__^ Thank you Elona & Stella ♥ Ever since I tried this auto curler, my hair styling skill slightly increased.. Yay!

Seneng banget akhirnya nemu juga alat catok (plus alat untuk mengeriting rambut) yang beneran gampang dipake! Seperti yang kalian mungkin ketahui, aku ini payah banget untuk urusan hair styling. Kalo curl rambut pake curling iron biasa, sering gagal dan hasilnya acak-acakan -_-" Sering putus asa dan males styling rambut. Mau beli curling iron yang bagus tapi masih dilema karena mahal, eh Puji Tuhan nya beberapa saat yang lalu menang giveaway Elona Fusilli & Penne Auto Curler Straightener yang pas diadain oleh Elona & Stella =D Sejak saat itu malah hobi styling rambut dan kemampuan hair styling ku sekarang sedikit meningkat :P hahahaha

I'm not really sure, but I think Elona is a local brand which is developed with Japan's technology. As far as I know, Elona is a new brand that only distributed in Indonesia :) For further information, you may look for their Instagram @elonaworld.
