Uh, it's my first branded iron. I had a straightener, a cheap one to be exact, and it wouldn't last for an hour effect. Twice or a few more, I never (won't) use it anymore. Now that I've worked, I need a better one. I also got tired of my (not) straight hair, which often waves a bit because of sleeping position or naughty hair. I wanted to try curling my hair, but not in permanent way, because I also love my straight hair. I had set an eye on BabyLiss Pro Miracurl Perfect Curl, will curling hair in just a few seconds without overly playing my hands. But many have said it would easily stuck hair inside the curling, this also well said by the clerk store I went to (Best Denki). I'm also afraid I can't styled the curl because it uses machine.


 So she told me to use Glampalm instead Miracurl. At first, she introduced me to price USD 85.33 which is good enough, I think. but after I asked if they have another great one, she introduced the 1" (inch) Pro GP225AL for around USD 187.43. Me and my sister were shocked by how it curled my hair with shine. My sister also needs that to straightening her wavy (messy) hair. More info about Glampalm, you can visit their website.

Have you remembered that I already write a post about Rohto Hada Labo Indonesia? This time, it's the sunblock. The name of it is Skin Aqua. This is Rohto Global Website. I bought Skin Aqua UV Moisture Milk SPF 50+ PA+++ and this is the website for it. Although Rohto produced all their products here in Indonesia, but I think they kept the quality higher than old brand for face here like Biore. I don't think Biore Indonesia's facewash is good enough, while Hada Labo Ind facewash is so much better from that. Though I never tried the made in Japan Hada Labo products to compare it with Indonesian version, I think it suits my skin very well. This is the website for Rohto Indonesia.

And sooooo, I decided to buy Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Repair Anti-Damage Hair Mask!! Phew, it's a long name. I will just sticks to Schwarzkopf ultimate repair hair mask for now, because the "repair" word describes all. It is functioning as a hair mask, so it's a bit different than conditioner, although the actual "how to use" it are almost the same, just spread it all over hair then massage head for a minute or more. Just that, while conditioner can be applied everyday (based on instruction), a hair mask will just do with 2-3 times a week. It helps repair damages created by chemical on a hair, expecially hair coloring, curling, etc. I have very damaged hair because of straightening and coloring, so I chose this variation to improve the healthy-ness of my precious hair. This is Schwarzkopf official website. The company from German (it's mother company is Henkel) also created different ranges of hair products from shampoo, conditioner, serum, even hair coloring. Schwarzkopf also means "black head".

Shiseido Ma Cherie is the hair brand I loves so muuuuch!! This is the website for this fabulous elegant, unique, and does good effect & smell. Did you remember when I used to talk about my Japanese bath products? It's in this page. When I wrote that post, I didn't care about conditioner or hair mask, treatment etc. But now, I think I need more than just a shampoo, to take care of my dry and fringe hair. So I bought (again from Nihonmart) the conditioner from Ma Cherie moisture range.

Kracie is brought to Indonesia by PT Hoyu Indonesia. So far, there are only two brands in here, which is Bigen and Kracie. Bigen is a company produced hair colorant, while Kracie (in the past, it is Kanebo) produced hair and face treatment. Actually, I had bought Hoyu Company's one of hair coloring brand, which is BeautyLabo (isn't available in Indonesia, I bought it in Thailand). So far, Kracie Ichikami shampoo didn't do well on my hair, despite it made my hair straight, it also made it stiff. But I love the flower smell , it is not too strong, but still lingers after washing. The picture below is the product packaging, in red (to pink) color:

Whoaaah, what should I feel about this? I told my mom to cut my bangs and the result is, some said it looks like helmet and my director at office said the bangs looks similar to what Cleopatra had! Actually, I wanted to be like Japanese girl who have their bangs soft and thin. But I don't know the result is chaos because my hair is strong and thick. I now have smoother hair thanks to Japanese shampoo (most of it because Shiseido Tsubaki and Shiseido Ma Cherie, also from Tsubaki conditioner), but before, I had thick, hard (stiff), and messy hair. Uhm, it's not an advertisement for Shiseido, truthfully. I just feels happy of using it.

Skin79 is a Korean brand famous for its BB cream, although they also produced makeup properties. The most famous BB cream ranges is the Color BB Series, different bottle color with different functions. I have tried the Oriental Gold BB cream Plus version (the one in gold bottle and added lipgloss/cream cheek), also from a sample, and even though it blended very well with my skin, I could feel oily and sticky. Yup, the BB cream is too sticky, it makes my face shine even though my skin is dry. Maybe because I don't like overly shiny face, I don't want to buy the full bottle. Now, after purchasing Canmake at Beauty Store, they gave me this 2 sachets BB cream sample from purple color, famous for dry skin. The BA saw my face and she immediately knew about my skin type. Purple is very good at moisturizing, also with high SPF 40 PA+++. Skin79 website is here.

I thought I must try Canmake other products before deciding if it's a good or bad brand. I had problem with Canmake Creamy Touch Rouge 01 Marshmallow Pink because it's too creamy and showed liplines. After Canmake opened its first store in Indonesia, at Beauty Couture Mall Kelapa Gading 3, 2nd floor, plus it discounted 20% of every Canmake product, I must go! Beauty Couture is truthfully a distributor for Etude House store in Indonesia, and a few brands for example Cottage and Skin79. It expands its business to facial treatment etc with its own tools. I don't know the detail because it's the first time I bought any item from them. This are Canmake official website in Japanese and English. Let's see more in my post.
