Let's try Canmake's primer! I've tried their powder and BB cream, but I haven't tried their primer yet. This time, I bought Canmake Blessed Natural Primer. It claims as a makeup lotion with a super comfortable texture that cares for your skin. This is a base cream with skincare approach; with sunscreen, daytime moisturizing serum, makeup base, and light foundation functions. It's not waterproof so can be easily washable. Blessed Natural Primer only has one color, Natural, that will easily grow accustomed to the skin and cover dullness naturaly. It will blur the pores with its soft focus powder. So don't worry, because the color will blend unto any skintone.

I'm back to reviewing. I know it's strange for me to decided purchasing smoky eye pencil and Indonesia's cosmetic brand. But despite that, I think the price is not too expensive and I wanted to try something new. Speaking of smokey eyes, my mind goes to Kristen Stewart. I know, I don't have her beautiful crease. But at least, I wanted to try improving my own skill on makeup. ＼（＾▽＾）／  In the end, my online shopping website is back to Sociolla.

I will try to explain on how I usually apply my base makeup. Every product has different way to applied, based on skin type and condition. For me, I have very dry skin (lacks of oil and some fine lines around mouth) and very lack of hydration (usually flaky around eyebrow, nose, chin, and around the corner of my mouth). So now, I will write the best way I applied my base makeup. It's all about cream type, because you know how to use powder, right? And I skipped primer/moisturizer. I must use them on all my face because everything around it are very dry, including my forehead and eyebrow!

This is my first time to try Lioele product. Actually, this liptint is my sister's, but I can try it. Lioele is another brand from Korea. Its Blooming Pop Tint has 3 colors; pink, red, and orange. My sister isn't someone who likes wearing makeup. She only wears Pigeon powder or lipalm to work. But sometimes on special occassion, she would borrow my Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint PK001. And then, she noticed the lip tint felt sticky on her lips. That's why, when her friend told her about this lip tint, she tried to buy it.

This lip tint pack is pretty famous now. Berrisom is another innovative brand from Korea, used a lip tattoo-kind of how to use. If you applied this lip tint, it will create jelly-like texture on lips. But you must open the gel (peeling) after it dried off, leaving a stain on your lips. And that's what the color payoff. Even though most of it has bold color, after leaving a stain, it will be natural. Actually, they produced makeup, skincare, hair & body care too. But surely, their most famous product right now is this lip tint pack (or maybe, with their art mask?). This one is Sexy Red, gives pure burgundy red tinted lips that will suit white skin. I know, I'm into red right now.

I know it's too late for my review. I think this range is already discontinued in Korea, placed by Blooming Fit. Oh man, it's when Etude still used Sandara Park as their model. And the item I used is already more than a year old. But back then, I hate this BB cream. It's sticky, oily, and cakey. Yeah, that's when I applied it by fingers.

I'm back to Canmake! And another Revlon lip item. I heard many good reviews for Canmake Marshmallow Finish Powder. Japanese Vlogger often used this to topped their BB cream / foundation. Actually, I was a bit afraid if the shade would be too light for me and too dry, after purchasing the Concealer Foundation UV. But since many like it, I'd be happy to try another Canmake powder. As for Revlon, I bought it so I could receive free delivery from online shop.

Eyelashes are the most forgotten part when using makeup for me. I've known many product from more than two years ago, but I was still using the cheap brand eyelash curler from Tammia (Indonesian, you must have known that brand, right? There are so many sold at hypermarket and drugstore here). Now that I got what I deserved, which the middle lashes from my right eye went bald (It fell from curling with cheap curler), I found that I must invest in something good and safe. Many recommended Shu Uemura or Shiseido curler. But I think Shu Uemura is easy to find either at local counter or online store. I bought mine online from IG, though. Moreover, Pony and many bloggers always uses this brand. The quality must be very good, then.

This is the first time I bought Missha's cosmetic. The brand is from Korea and their BB cream (I think the red tube one) is the best seller among others. M Magic Cushion is the latest cushion they made and have just launched this year. I'm glad their very first cushion has SPF 50+/ PA+++ because it will be a good advantage rather than the ones below. This cushion is also matte type, without refill.

I'm back into skincare review. As I've said earlier, my skin is considered good enough so I don't need too many skincare. What I need right now is just two purposes product, to moisturize and brightening because I have very dry skin. Usually, I used Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream as night cream and Hada Labo Gokujyun Moisturizing Lotion before makeup in the morning. I think Etude is rare to find here, I must buy through PO system, so I need something to exchange if I run out of Etude. I have tried Hada Labo Gokujyun Cream. It's moisturizes my skin really well, but sadly, doesn't brightening as in Etude. I need to try Shirojyun series and after some research, I found the essence. As for Gokujyun Foaming Face Wash, it's just impulse buying ^0^.

I'm back about Korean cosmetic again and second Tony Moly product I've got! The first one is Cat's Wink Clear Pact and really love it for smooth texture. I bought Tony Moly Crystal Blusher (they wrote it Cristal) in shade #9 Pink Jubilee. There was a 50% off price at its counter in Matahari Dept Store Mal Ciputra Jakarta for a few items so I grabbed one of it. I wanted to buy the powder UV what, but there was only shade #2 and one box left, so my eyes went to its blusher. I think it's pretty famous in Korea too. But there were only 4-5 shades available at the counter, so I took this pastel pink (I wanted to grab peach before).

Have you learn about O-phero makeup in my post before? In this post, I'll create O-phero makeup with my own product. Be sure to check on my step-by-step tutorial for this famous makeup in Japan. I'm sorry if this post have too many pictures of me, before you click on more.

おフェロ メイク を参加しています。早速、メイクをスタート！

In Japan, there is a trend to do おフェロ メイク or O-phero Makeup or Pheromone Makeup. What is this about? I'll show what kind of makeup it is and how to do it based on what I've learnt. I have watched many videos showing this kind of makeup and wonder what it was about. I finally have a clue through a blog. I can't find it anymore because I didn't save it. If anything got a problem, it must be its language. The site is in Japanese. So I'll write some point again and with the product I think I often saw it used to do this makeup.

Maybe I don't have too many reader to read my reviews. But I'd like to post something about my own favorite cosmectic, skincare, shampoo, facewash, etc. Not to labeled anything, but because I find it very good to my skin / tone. To compare it as mine, these are my lists of personal skin:

Skintone : Very Fair (Around NW15 or something, I wear the lightest shade base except from Innisfree)
Skintype : Very Dry (Face & Body)
Skin Concern : Redness, Dark Circles, Dullness, Acne Spots
Hairtype : Very Dry & Chemical Effect
Hair color : Naturally a bit Brown, but Colored with Lighter Brown
Eye color : Brown
Lip color : Pink with a few Darker Part Around Upper Lip

I think that's all for my features. I hope it will help anyone who has the same feature as me. Below are my lists of favorite beauty things and maybe some review if you click on the text:

I finally bought another Western brand cosmetic! After Maybelline, Revlon, and Max Factor (I think Max Factor is the worst lipstain I owned), this time, the brand is from Paris, Bourjois. Bourjois is owned by Chanel company. But the product is definitely different. I don't know about Chanel because I never buy their product, but reading of some review, it's probably only the same factory. The things is, why did I bought Bourjois? I didn't know anything about this brand before watching Youtube. A few makeup tutorial from Japan using its foundation. I searched through internet and found that their items contain lovely scent. Of course I'd like to try. Even though our drugstore sells Bourjois, I've never seen the Heathy Mix Foundation. Instead, the one I found is Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. The Serum one have sheer coverage and less size, so I didn't bother buying it. I found Healthy Mix Foundation on Sociolla website, together with Little Round Pot Blush. I grabbed the two of them in the end.

Another lip product from Canmake Creamy Touch Rouge range. Do you know that I'm disappointed with Canmake Creamy Touch Rouge #01 Marshmallow Pink? I like the cute pink color, but it sink into lip lines. Though I can make it up by applying lipbalm before, it's such a tiring routine for me to use two products. Well, I know most of Japanese women like to apply lipgloss over their lipstick. I can't. I have tried it and it's also too much work for me. But sometimes, really really sometimes, I will put my lipgloss over my lipstick. Just not for everyday usage. I like simple yet clean and easy to use lip product. Though I dislike the performance for Marshmallow Pink, I dare to buy another Creamy Touch Rouge, Sweet Cherry. I was afraid if #02 Misty Orange would have no differences with #01, so I grabbed the darkest color over the three shades.

It seems the end of 2014 until now is the time for me to color my hair. After Beautylabo Whip Hair Color in Milky Beige, I grabbed another hair colorant from this brand. Actually, I'm a bit confused to buy the Pure Beige or Raspberry Pink. I thought I need some new color, ash brown perhaps? But then, it might be a bit exaggerating to choose red since I plan to move to another job next year and must do interviews again. It will be weird to search for job with colorful hair, right? If only this color will last until next year (I might color my hair again)... So I bought Pure Beige. Though I actually didn't want another beige color from Beautylabo turning to blonde again after Whip type. I need Ash Brown, but Beautylabo Indonesia doesn't have that color yet. You can see Hoyu Indonesia website about another variant colors from Beautylabo they've brought here.

I'm suck at drawing eyebrow because my eyebrow already bold & noticeable. I didn't know how to create different style for my eyebrow, but considered it's in a good shape enough, I thought it's too much work to be bothered by it. I had attempted to draw using Etude House's Color My Brow #1 Rich Brown, but it became dry after a year because I never used it. Now, I watched many tutorial on Youtube using eyebrow mascara and I began to want it. More, because I wanted to color my hair nowadays too. My selection came to Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow. With or without N, I think that's its old name because the packaging doesn't use the N already. The brand is famous enough in Japan, just as Kiss Me Heroine. They are from Isehan.

Bifesta is a brand produced by Mandom corp., the same company as Lucido, Pucelle, Gatsby, Tancho (wow it's very old), and Pixy. I'm glad despite they produced Lucido-L in Indonesia, Bifesta - Uruochi is imported from Japan. That's why I didn't think twice to buy Bifesta. Moreover, I often see this product on Youtube. I rarely used cleansing and skincare items, so it's also a rare opportunity for me to buy a cleansing lotion. It's because I think with only Kracie Naive, I can easily cleansed my makeup. But for waterproof mascara such as KATE Black Feather Lash, I need a makeup remover, which is why I bought the one from Maybelline. But despite the small amount of product, it's also not cheap. When I went to Aeon Mall again, I purchased Bifesta, together with Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow (After learning about eyeliner, shading, eyeshadow, and mascara, it's time to learn about how to draw eyebrow) in #03 Ash Brown. But I have yet to try the eyebrow mascara. Anyway, their model right now is Tsuchiya Anna (I know her from Nana movie).

Why did I bought the Kiss Me Heroine Make eyeliner again? My Smooth Liquid Eyeliner N Black is already more than two years old. It's the original eyeliner, stays for a long time, but not a waterproof type. Now that I have been using for two years, it's not as jet black as before. I find it hard to create eyeline and must swatch more than 3 times, especially for my left eye because it tends to be water-y when applying eyeliner. I bought Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner Super Keep Black at Watsons (Yeah, Isehan is not only sold at Guardian, but also in Watsons) because it's the only pen liner there. I couldn't find my old N type and I didn't know much about Heavy Rotation.

Another Canmake product! I bought these two items a few days ago when I'm already broke this month. Sigh... I kept on buying new product, huh? I didn't have any concealer before because I considered my skin as good type. I didn't get too much breakout lately. But too bad the Cover & Stretch Concealer UV was only in shade 02 and 03 in store, so I chose 02 Natural Beige. I supposed to buy 01 Light Beige. I thought with only BB cream, I can cover most acne and uneven skintone, except that panda eyes. That's the reason I never bought a concealer before. As for cheek brush, I think I'm immersed in the cuteness of its bristle.

I know it's strange to advertise another website on my own. But here on, I will give my readers every news I got! I won't put it on myself. Lately, I like JAPANKURU blog. It seems the writers wants to introduce their point of view of Japan to overseas readers. I think they explained it well in English. I like the article about Igari makeup and Canmake product from here too. I haven't read all of their articles, but I will read what comes of interesting for me, especially for someone who wish to travel to Japan. They provides good information of Japan. Please read it too, everyone ^^. It's good to know about cool blog out there. And, don't be surprised. I made Ameba account so I now have Ameblo! Ameblo is a famous blog in Japan. Many singers, artist, etc. also have it. My Japanese is a little bit out of balance and still learning. I hope the mistake is minimum, though. It basically just summarizing my review here, with short sentences (because I can't understand difficult kanji). Sorry if there are many mistakes. You can look at my Ameba link on the right sidebar or here is the link.

DASODA maybe isn't booming as well as Kanebo or even Canmake. But I've seen this eyeliner from DASODA brand is sold in Singapore Sasa. Though I think the base makeup haven't come out yet there. This is precisely sold only in Japan. And when I saw Snapeee (ViVi's channel), I saw a new cushion from Japan, which is from DASODA. ViVi models blogged about it too. The campaign can be seen here. The name of the memorable cushion in Japan is DASODA FC Aqua Cushion Foundation 365 (ダソダエフシーアクアクッションファンデーション365). What number is 365? Is it about days in a year? As for FC, I think it comes from FaCe. I don't thing it's similar to a foundation because of light texture, so it's a BB cushion (you know that Japan often named it differently, such as lotion but it's more to a toner?). Comes with SPF50+ / PA+++, it's already have high SPF as Laneige BB Cushion! Wow, it's such a great starter. But when I saw the back of the cushion. it was made in Korea. So, is it a mixed production?

Judging by the title, most of you know about Rohto and Mentholatum already. After Hada Labo and Lip on Lip lipbalm, now is the CC cream! Some of Japanese famous Youtubers (Sekine Risa, haruxnyantv, and Mii from greenchan0714) already made tutorials using SUGAO Air Fit CC Cream Pink Bright type. The name of mine is SUGAO Air Fit CC Cream Pink Bright Type AB Cream L Pure Natural (スガオ エアーフィット CCクリーム ピンクブライト ピュアナチュラル). That's why, I'm curious on how it really works for my face. You can tell that it's my first CC cream I owned. I have tried Etude House, but it's only a sample. That was an annoying experience of trying a CC cream because it's very oily and didn't cover anything. It made me "don't want to buy any CC cream because BB cream can do anything".


I'll talk about SUGAO. The model for SUGAO is Miyazaki Aoi. Do you know her? I do, but I don't follow her in movie or drama, except NANA. She was born in 1985. That makes her age 30! Wow, she's very cute. I would think of her as in 18-19 years old with that face, especially in SUGAO's advertisement or when she's smiling. SUGAO already launched Air Fit CC Cream Smooth Type (matte) and Moist Type (dewy) earlier. But now, they go hyper for the Pink Bright Type. The same as earlier type, Pink Bright also have two shades, Pure Natural (light skin) and Pure Ochre (yellow skin). The Pink Bright have pink color on its shade to brighten up skin with soft-focus effect and glitters. The finish is pink transparent feeling.

Rimmel is originally a brand from London, with a crown logo for their signature. But from what I know, the Japan produced slightly different product than most globally sold. Even though some of the global items also came to Japan, they also produced their original product. I have read a review said that she couldn't favorited any of Rimmel London product, but her eyes came to the Japan one. I can understand that, because Rimmel Japan's product in term of eyeshadow, have won GODMake model cosme award. If you watch GODMake's tutorial on Youtube, they mostly used the Rimmel Chocolat Sweet Eyes. And the popular shade is #001 Gold Brown. Why did I chose #007 Pink Beige? Because I think I already have a great number of brown/beige eyeshadow.

Color mascara is a trend right now, especially for summer 2015. If you follow Etude House, you already saw the Curl Fix produced 4 colors mascara, black, brown, wine red, bright pink. But did you know that Japan already produced it about a year ago or more? I have told you that I found a Youtube video introduced us to blue Canmake GOKUBUTO mascara, a video from a year ago. Right now, I have found a new brand, Coupy Design by Decora Girl (pronounced Kuupii), which produced deep blue, peach pink, orange, and moss green mascara. The name of it is Decora Girl Coupy Design Color Mascara. The first one to come out is volume type, but now, there is the long & curl type too. Actually, I saw a few snapeee photos using red mascara months ago. But I don't care about color mascara because I'd prefer natural color, black or brown.


I think the person on Youtube (HANACOCO) also mentioned that it has peach fragrance that will disappear after a few seconds or what.. An interesting color being mixed with good scent. I think many people will get to love it.

Oh eventually, I saw RMK, a higher end brand from Japan, also introduced their color mascara on ViVi snapeee channel four months ago, which is RMK W Color Mascara. The fun thing is, it have darker color with large brush for upper lashes and brighter color with small brush for under eye lashes... Weird and funny. But Coupy is still cheaper with ￥1,500, while RMK is ￥4,320 and you'll be broke by just a mascara. I saw Youtuber Mikipon channel gives a trick to make color mascara. First, applied light color (light brown to blonde) eyebrow mascara to eyelashes then use a red or whatever color cream (for example Visee Lip & Cheek Cream RD-1) after putting the eyebrow mascara. This method is simpler than one of Korean Youtuber who used false lashes and putting powder color something to the fake lashes (a bit forgot because it needs more working step).


And a few ViVi models using RMK W Color Mascara for advertisement from Snapeee app:

It isn't a review post actually. I just wanted to celebrate with you, ladies who love Sanrio characters. There is a brand which came up to bring a collaboration with Sanrio, a great one at it. It is AC by AngelColor. It's actually have been announced sinced a few months ago. But I didn't have any interest to buy a powder with Sanrio characters' puff. I've never favorited Sanrio characters, in the first place. One thing I like in Sanrio is Cinnamoroll, actually it is my sister's favorite but it got me too. Errm, I don't have any favorite character or idol or hobbies actually, so yeah, I'm a neutral person. Even if I do like some characters in games or anime, drama, movie, etc, I never had any will to follow them forever.

Enough with the chitchat. I introduced you to the most favorite AC Wonder Collect Powder:


The actual loose powder will look like this:


And to make it even worse for you who'd prefer compact powder, this series is for Little Twin Stars:
There are many more collaborated packaging with Sanrio, but these are the best ones. The other would be just adding Sanrio picture to the makeup base tube. So, choose one of your favorite and grab them before out of stock! I might grab the Pompompurin or My Melody loose powder next month. Yup, next month. I broke my savings after purchasing three items from Japan! Pretty interested for Rohto SUGAO CC cream... Wait for my review.

I had been longing for Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouge, moreover the shade no.5, Flowing Cherry Petal. While I dislike Canmake Creamy Touch Rouge, I think Stay-on Balm Rouge wouldn't be the same formula with the lipstick because it have "Balm" name on it. For Lip Tint Syrup, it's a new lip product from Canmake just launched around 2 months ago or so. I watched Youtube Ami Beauty TV channel and she introduced this lip tint as long-lasting and still got its shine like a gloss even after "blot by tissue". That's why I'd really like to try. The two of them were purchased through a member of beauty forum whom I recently known because her husband went to work in Japan for a week.

So far, Heroine Make has released two types of BB cream, which are Protect UV Mineral BB Cream and Lasting Mineral BB Cream. But I just saw the Protect UV type sold here for now. The other one has SPF34 / PA++, which already good enough to stand against UV rays for a few hours. Sadly, even though I have read about UV protection system, I never care to see for how long it is. Same as the loose powder, their BB cream only have two shades, 01 Light and 02 Natural. Oh by the way, the model for Kiss Me Heroine Make right now is MAGGY. I don't know why most of Japanese models are half or from Western lineage, example Canmake used Yagi Arisa or Shiseido Maquillage used Mizuhara Kiko.

Now I will go to the second review of Heroine Make that I bought from Aeon Mall. After Mineral BB Loose Powder, it's time for the mascara. The name of it is : Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara Super WP (and WP is WaterProof). Actually, Heroine Make is famous for its eyeliner. I think it's also famous with the mascara, but sadly, none of the mascara get into Cosme award these days. Cosme is a website that keeps on getting the latest ranking from cosmetic sales in Japan. You can use that as a preference to buy Japanese cosmetic, but you don't have to believe anything they wrote. Most of them are expensive, ex: Rimmel (Rimmel Japan is a bit different than London. I'll write about its eyeshadow, Chocolat Sweet Eyes, later after my order comes. I ordered Rimmel Sweet Chocolat Eyes together with Rohto SUGAO Air Fit CC Cream Pink Bright the latest type, and DASODA FC Aqua Cushion Foundation), MAC, they are mostly Western. The Japan cosmetics which is expensive for example are : Kanebo LUNASOL, Kesalan Patharan, ADDICTION, SUQQU, Shu Uemura.
