I was using Etude House Moistfull Collagen Cream with the First Essence since 2013. I don't have problem with using it because it brightens my skin without breakout. As for moisturizing. I don't feel it does a good job because I have very dry skin without enough solution. But I'm satisfied with the cream for many things it does to my skin. When I almost emptied a bottle of cream, the seller told me that the usual set I bought was sold out so I need to find another product. In the end, I wanted to try this new cream rather than using the usual Moistfull Collagen. This one is Deep Cream and I expected more to moisturize my skin.

The review this time is my first eyeshadow from Western. I didn't have interest in Western eyeshadow before because they came in too bold pigmentation. The eyeshadows I have from Japan & Korea are so far sheer and glittery, with each different staying power of course. But recently, Japan is in haul from this London brand. I think MUR is quiet new, launched in 2014. Though they are mostly raving about I♡Makeup Naked Chocolate Palette, I bought the Iconic Palette instead. Part of it is because I need to PO the Naked Chocolate, and the other is because I'm interested for Urban Decay's NAKED 3 cheaper dupe gossip.

Following the Alice in trend series from BEYOND, I decided to buy the latest cushion from Alice in Blooming (for spring & summer 2016). Previously, it was Alice in Glow BB Cushion #01 Milk Cake. But this one, it's slightly a different cushion than Alice in Glow. The no.01 shade is called Pink Beige

I finally grabbed on Missha x Line Friends edition! This is so in hyped recently because the packaging is cute and Line is popular in many countries. For me, while many people favorite characters are either Brown or Cony, I would chose James! Yeah, he is crazy and crazy and funny and I don't have anymore comment about his expression. Too bad he is unpopular. The eyeshadow is in pink-themed color and the lipstick is claimed as matte type in brick red color. I think Salsa Red color is famous recently in Korea and I'm interested in advertising picture.

I'm so into watching stage play adaptation. Be it a musical or not, I don't care. Well, the first time I watched a stage play was when Kuroshitsuji first made into a musical. I kept following only Kuroshitsuji without realising there were many stage play adaptations being made after that. One of them is the old Hakuouki Musical Saitou-hen, in 2012. So far, I have watched Hakuouki (Saitou, Okita, Hijikata, Kazama-hen, LIVE), Kuroshitsuji (2009-2015 re-run, total 5), Clock Zero ~Shuuen no Ichibyou~ Re-verse-Mind, Fushigi Yuugi 2015 (not a musical), and Persona 3 The Weird Masquerade (1 Male & Female, 2 Male, 3 Male). I don't know if I can be called a master in musical already after watching them. Maybe not enough? In this post, I'll create my own impression after watching those list above, per series.

I rarely bought new skincare. Part of it is because I’m satisfied with Etude House Moistfull Collagen as my night cream. And the other one is because I’m afraid it’ll give me breakouts. The only makeup I couldn’t use is Etude House Secret Beam Powder Pact which gave me breakout for my whole face 3 years ago. And skincare is too much in term of formula, more than cosmetic. I’m afraid my previous Mizon also gives me breakout when I used daily. So I don’t use it often now, only once a week before doing makeup. But well, I got curious of this Sleeping Mask because it claimed to have soothing fragrance and hydrating formula. A perfect match for my very very dry skin.

I'm so in love with BEYOND Alice series. I have purchased the Alice in Glow Cushion and finally tried the Oil Tint. You see, because I like the cushion so much, I even ordered the second series cushion, Alice in Blooming! Still waiting for it to arrive. I think there is no difference in term of formula, just a new packaging. Well, apart from it, the Alice in Glow series has finally sold in Indonesia. I bought this lip tint in store. Normal price is Rp 199.000, but since it's new, I got it for Rp 159.000. Online is still cheaper. T.T

I don't need to write more about Canmake Cream Cheek and Eyebrow Liquid since I already bought them in different shade before. I have Cream Cheek CL01, which already half-sized now, and Eyebrow Liquid in #01 Natural Brown. The Natural Brown already dried after more than 6 months, so I decided to buy the lighter shade since my hair is now red.

This is another review for contact lens. I don't know much about Korean brand contact or anything, but GEO is famous online. They have a website to check if your GEO is a fake or not here. Well, I've tried and there is nothing to worry about mine. This contact lens is in natural brown color with minimum accent.

Menard is a cosmetic and skincare brand of Nippon Menard Cosmetic Co. According to wikipedia, its name derives from Maenad, a female followers of the Greek god, Dionysius. It is a department store brand, so consider pricey. It has produced a gold ingredients cream skincare that costs more than USD 900.00!! Apart from cosmetic and skincare, there are also health drink such as collagen, fragrance, haircare, and cosmetic tools.


Menard often comes as a sponsor in dorama (Gakkou no Kaidan, From 5 to 9, etc). The beautiful model for Menard since few years ago is Fukada Kyoko (1982). There are also Matsuzaka Keiko (1952 and she was acting as 65y.o. Kisaragi Sumi in Sumika Sumire and her voice is very soothing!) and Mochida Kaori from Every Little Thing (1978). You can guess overall age range is between 30-65s.

Finally got a chance to try Visee Lip & Cheek Cream. So far, only Japanese cream cheek is good for lips. I've tried several Korean brands cream cheek like Etude House and Beyond but they were all just for cheek. I can't use them on lips because it's oily and can't blend well. After it got dry, it would sink into lip lines. The Visee Lip & Cheek Cream can be compared with Canmake Cream Cheek, just a slightly higher price than Canmake. Japanese tutorials on Youtube will either use Canmake or Visee for O-phero (Igari) / daily makeup.

Finally tried the Visee line from Kose. I have been interested of their makeup, especially the gel eyeliner and the CC range from Visee. Though I also wanted the eyeshadow (Visee Riche Glossy Rich Eyes in PK-3), I could bear not to buy anymore eyeshadow after Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes #7. I have too many eyeshadows and won't buy anymore even though I would be tempted by a limited edition (maybe?). Actually, I also bought the famous Lip & Cheek Cream RD-1 along with CC Watery Foundation and Slim Gel Liner. But I was confused about the color since I ordered PK-2 but came in RD-1, so I neglected my urge to use it for a while. Now, I will explain about these two products I bought from Visee Japan.

I have previously bought the Silk Intense Lipstick in shade SRY36 Beige Chiffon because of That Winter, The Wind Blows K-drama. I was amazed by Hye Kyo's lip color at the time. When I need a new one because my Beige Chiffon is almost empty, I wanted to try a new color. So I grabbed another Hye Kyo's famous shade in the same drama, LR104 Pink Garden. I had high expectation that it would be good like my previous shade. Although Beige Chiffon sometimes gives me pale look, I really like it because of creamy & moisturizing color.

This is the cheapest KATE's product I have ever saw. In Japan, this actually costs only around USD 4.30!! But I bought it around USD 7.00 together with Clock Zero ~Shuuen no Ichibyou~ Re-verse-Mind DVD. The CC Lip Cream has been available since last year, together with the CC Lip Treatment. I thought they are limited edition, but they are not. I didn't have interest to try before because I knew it's the same as a lipbalm. Though I regret not buying in it Singapore last year. So far, there are 4 shades available for now (I think this series is a re-launched of the old product) which are #01 Beat Red, #04 Orange Burst, #05 Pink Trick, and #06 Mode Pink. It is called a CC Lip Cream because it has SPF19 / PA++ to protect from UV rays.

The eyeshadow I bought is the Berry Delicious Fantastic Color Eyes #7 Strawberry Mojito. This will be the second Korean brand eyeshadow for me, after Clip Peripera x Disney Frozen Tap Tap Eyes #2 I'm Happy. This coral-brown variation color will suit daily activities. I was afraid if the color would be too intense because the color in the pan look vivid. But Japan & Korea cosme wouldn't create something too bold for eyes, right. I believe I will be able to wear it daily. The Strawberry Mojito's color are mainly about brown and coral orange. But I'm actually interested in the glittery mint color, Spearmint, because it is a rare color. Well, the #8 Strawberry Fondue, is also intrigue me. But I have too many pink eyeshadows so far with Orbis Eye Color in Book, Coffret D'or Soft Glamorous Eyes #08, and Daiso Ellefar Gliter Eyeshadow E.

I'm back with Secret Key product. Actually, I bought this together with Mizon and Etude House Precious Mineral Moist Any Cushion in December. But Koreabuys forgot to order it so I need to wait until the end of February so they could re-order. Uhm, I think even though they couldn't re-order it, I don't have a problem with that because I bought out of curiosity. This isn't a BB cushion, so I don't put it on BB cushion tag. I think it is similar to a cream foundation, in solid pact. And don't forget the water pact name, it is something I will explain later. With SPF50+ / PA+++, this item has great SPF.

I have seen many articles about Korean actor who doesn't age / still beautiful around 30s. But I rarely seen about Japanese actors / actresses. Why? Because everything are about Korea right now that Japanese actors are neglected in some way. I approved of the articles posted, but let me re-make it to Japanese actors. I'm very surprised to see Fukada Kyoko in 2016 Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasai. She is 33 now, but still pretty like 20s. Another example is Nagasaku Hiromi (45 years old). I can't recognize her age at all. Seems still in early 30s. I didn't make the order based on the beauty, just a random order. Well, let's take a look below.

Actually, I bought it with Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Lip Gloss, review here. I wanted to buy a liquid lip product, especially with bold color. When I read the name of this lip stain, my mind said "Acai", which is similar to my bunny's name Mochi (but we usually calls her Mochai with chai). This PK01 is a bold pink, but I think it is the lightest color from 5 shades. I don't care, I'm especially interested on its shade's name.

In this post about Coffret D'or Party Coffret, I wrote that I got the sample for Kanebo Twany. One is a cleansing clay, Twany WT Cleansing clay, and the other is a liquid-type toner, Twany Time Refresher. I won't write a long sentence because just used the sample.

I have their eyeliner, not a waterproof type but still very good and very smooth when used. K-Palette is especially famous for their eyeliner and eyebrow product, though. The Essence in Eyebrow is a eyebrow pencil, powder, and brush all in one package. The W series represents a two in one combination of beauty essences and makeup. There are 5 shades available from light brown to grey brown. Mine is the darkest, #05 Grayish Brown.

I think this is the cheapest lip product I can get. I bought each tube for Rp 19.800,-!! I don't know why, but it's very cheap so I think I should buy all two available shades. Just you know, I never tried Secret Key's product before. What's on my mind is, I read reviews about this brand and mostly tells Secret Key made a good dupe for many popular brands with cheaper price. Though I'm sure of its quality although the price is very very cheap! The shades are Milky Pink and Coral Peach. You already know what kind of color it is from the name, right? But don't judge first.

I have made a post about Bishop ED here. The same as my previous post, I won’t write about the entire storyline. In this post, I will compare the musical with the CG I have from the portable version. Actually, I will also write about the making & after event I got from the DVD in this post. So this post will be the final post for CZ Reverse Mind’s stage play, which consists of disc 1 for King ED & making and disc 2 for Bishop ED & after event. I finally received my own DVD in less than a month.

I don't really understand about MIZON since it isn't as famous here as the other brands. But I hope with this hyaluronic acid, I can have moisturizing face everyday without cracking. The range has many types of function. What I bought is the moisture solution type because I have very dry skin.

I know Holika Holika for a long time. But this is my first time purchasing their product. Due to free delivery in Koreabuys, I blindly chose Nabi Cream #Vitality for liveliness / energetic. I was a bit nervous since the review wasn't too good. But I couldn't change my purchase so I kept waiting. There are 3 types of cream, Cottony (matte finish), Vitality (liveliness / brightening & smooth for all skin type), and Shiny (radiance & natural coverage beige color for dry skin). I wanted to choose Cottony but after thinking I should go with brighter skin, I decided to choose Vitality instead.

Who don't know Persona 3? For RPG gamer, it is a must to play game. Like, if you know Final Fantasy, you should know about Shin Megami Tensei series. Persona is the most famous title from Shin Megami Tensei series. Up until now, there are 4 Persona games, with the upcoming Persona 5. Though Persona 3 & 4 have few sequels / ports. Now, I will review the second musical, Gunjou no Meikyuu. Blame me that I watched from the 2nd because I didn't know how many were there until I watched the ending and felt weird. I searched and found that it was the 2nd stage play. The 1st musical is Ao no Kiseki (Blue Awakening) about how the MC collected his friends, 2nd is Gunjou no Meikyuu (Ultramarine Labyrinth) with the battle of Strega, and the latest from last year is Souen no Kesshou (Bismuth Crystal).

If you know me in my other blog, twentyninenights wordpress, you should be able to tell that my favorite otome game is Clock Zero ~Shuuen no Ichibyou~. I played it on PS2 and PSP port. But since I don't have PS Vita, I haven't play the EX Time version (sadly, with more wedding ending). If you wonder what is an otome game, you can search throughout internet. It is mostly about visual novel for female player, though some can add RPG to it. In this post, I would write my review for the musical version, the Reverse Mind. I didn't write about the complete storyline. You can find it anywhere in many otome blogger's review.

The first musical is A Live Moment 1 and A Live Moment 2, in two versions. I don't know the difference because I haven't watch it yet. The third stage play is rin-g-age (don't have it too). And the latest one (the DVD came out on January 12th, 2016) is Reverse Mind. The upcoming musical is about Bishop (maybe the broken world ED since Reverse Mind is dream world?) and Traitor's ending, Watch Over, which will be held on March 2016. Reverse Mind disc 1 tells about King's ED, and disc 2 is about Bishop. I'm in the middle of ordering the DVD right now and may come around next month. I will post about King's ending after I watch it (and maybe uploading it, if you want and if I can do with this snail Indonesia's internet connection). By the way, it isn't a J-dorama but since it is performed by human actors, I put it on the same section. Meanwhile, I rarely posted J-dorama so it's okay to add more genre, right.

I finally tried the famous BB cushion from Etude House. Etude House is the first Korean brand that got me involved in cosmetics. But to be truth, I don't like their BB creams and most of lipstick ranges. My favorite product from them is the Fresh Cherry Tint. Anyway, I bought the refill only because I have too many cushions right now. I couldn't find space to place more cushion case and thought I could use Laneige Pore Control's case. The one I bought is the dewy finish, Moist Any Cushion in shade N02 Light Beige.

BEYOND again! I couldn't find the Alice in Glow series at the counter here, so I bought it online. I meant to buy only the Lip and Cheek, but finally my urge was changed to buy it together with the cushion. Because... Simply it's a limited edition and I like the picture. Uh, I'm not a fan of Disney or any cute character either from Sanrio or anything. But if it pick my interest, I will be glad to own a unique thing. I bought the Alice in Glow Cushion #01 Milk Cake (lightest shade) and Lip & Cheek #04 Apricot Jelly. Anyway, I was scared if the cushion would be too white because I couldn't find many swatches about this thing. BEYOND is not popular enough like Etude House or Innisfree, so I find it hard to read any reviews about its new product. But in the end, I came to like it so much.

I wanted to try BEYOND since they opened a store in Central Park Mall, West Jakarta (1 or more years ago). But because my sister doesn't care about makeup store, I couldn't enter their official store here. Until last time, when I was with my friends, we were happily went inside the store for a long time (even though the employees should prepare to close). I think the official store gives decent price for its product, unlike Etude House. I wanted to buy their Alice in Glow Lip and Cheek #04, but sadly, they have yet to sell it here. So I bought the Glow Finish Stick, together with one of my best friend, for Rp 179.000,-.
