After having brown colored hair for a year, I thought of changing it. Actually, ash color was a trend last year and I really wanted to try this kind of color. But my urge just came to reality this year. I wished to try Liese Prettia, and finally bought it in shade Natural Ash. Liese is made by KAO, a company which holds Kanebo, Attack, Laurier, Biore, Sofina, etc. So I dare to try their product. Anyway, Liese Prettia's model right now is Sasaki Nozomi. I think she has a nice smile. But I'd still prefer Liese's (for hair product-non colorant) special model, Ishihara Satomi.

I think this Maybelline mascara is famous. There are two types, the falsies (black-purple tube), and this waterproof (all black) type, maybe. That's just from what I have searched about. Actually, I don't need anymore mascara since I have 3 of them and really like it. But I'm interested in the lower lash mascara because it's very small & thin. I grabbed this one because it's the only Big Eyes mascara I found. I couldn't find the purple tube in about 3 places.

I bought my Fale Winter Grey softlens from Softlens Asia. I can either buy from its website or through LINE messaging. But I think their IG is more up to date than the site. Then, I bought another pair of softlens from them, the famous EOS. I'm interested in dual color softlens, especially greyish blue color, so I chose the Luna type. And I'm very satisfied with this softlens, although I bought minus 2.25 (I should purchase min.2 because more than that would be very bright for me).

I like my Stay-on Balm Rouge #05 Flowing Cherry Petal so much and afraid if it will be empty faster than my prediction. But now, I don't need to be afraid of that anymore because the Stay-on Balm Rouge range has been released here. I decided to grab another color, a darker one than #05. I was eye-ing #08 Juicy Peony and #09 Masquerade Bud. In the end, I chose Juicy Peony because it's brighter and cute. Though I will probably buy #09 too later. I won't write a long text because I have reviewed another color before.

Canmake is now opening new counters around Indonesia's mall. I found it in Matahari Department Store Mall Taman Anggrek Jakarta. They had a few discounts until the end of 2015 so I grabbed three of it on different day. Actually, Sociolla website, my favorite web to buy legal cosme, already put the new release there (late browsing). Kindly check their site. The other one, which I bought first, is Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouge #08 Juicy Peony. But I haven't try it yet. This is confusing, but I tried the Color Mixing Concealer and Mat Fleur Cheeks first. And I'm glad they will start to sell something new and adding more product on Indonesia's list. I hope the Your Lip Only Gloss and Lip & Cheek Gel can come soon. The Color Mixing Concealer I bought is in #01, Light Beige. And the Mat Fleur Cheeks is #03 Matte Marmalade (orange).

Do you know Orbis? I think it's an unnusual cosme brand for us. Their cosmetics are cheap, but I never heard them before I saw a Youtube video using its mono (or duo) eyeshadow a few months ago. But back then, I didn't care about this brand until a Youtube video from koto mac for Christmas 2015 makeup and a seller on IG mentioned it. If you want to know how to use these items, check koto mac video. Back to Orbis, it's a company name famous for cosme and skincare. They launched the Eye Color in Book for Christmas edition 2015. Actually, the three best items for Chirstmas from Orbis are Eye Color in Book オルビス アイカラー　イン　ブック (limited), Gel Eyeliner Pink Brown オルビス ジェル　アイラナー　ピンク　ブラウン, and Pressed Powder Prism Snow　オルビス　プレスト　パウダー　プリズム　スノー (will make you as white as snow?). But I don't want to buy anymore powder.

Happy new year again! This is my first post in 2016. I'm interested in Innisfree brand more than Etude House right now. I bought their liquid rouge, the Real Fluid Rouge in shade 1, Ballerina Pink. It had been released early in 2015, but I just had a chance to try now. This is the third lip product from Innisfree that I've tried. Previously, I had bought the Creammellow Lipstick and Creamy Tint Lip Mousse. I like both of them even until now.

Back with L'oreal again. I think I fell in love with their product lately. After trying Blossom Caresse Cushion Tint or Tint Caresse, I bought Shine Caresse Lip Tint. This is a liquid tinted lip product, which gives stain afterward. Mine are shade #604 Bella and #600 Venus. But! There was 20% discount if I buy more than Rp 300.000 at the counter, so I grabbed their concealer, True Match Concealer #W123 Fair / Light Warm. I picked the fairest shade because I'm disappointed of my Canmake Cover & Stretch Concealer UV no.02. It's too dark for me, so sometimes, when I put on powder on top (not BB cream), the dark shades gives me yellow panda eyes. I should've bought the lightest shade, but it was sold out when I grabbed it.

Being as Missha's sister brand, I think A'pieu has higher quality in BB cushion. While Missha M Magic Cushion is good, I don't think it becomes my favorite. Simply because the finish is a bit drying. A'pieu also comes in 3 shades, when Missha only comes in 2 shades. In the end, my sister is the one who bought A'pieu Air-Fit Cushion in Doraemon Holiday set. It also have great SPF like Laneige. For more picture, go to my previous Bbia post because I won't take another picture for the case.

I usually bought a palette eyeshadow. I think it's better to have more colors and easy to create gradation than buying one color to mix with another. Yeah, that's because I'm not creative enough to create new gradation. But this time, I thought of buying mono eyeshadow from Bbia. This brand is famous recently by their single shadow. I found many Korean tutorials on Youtube using its eyeshadow. And it's a perfect time because I'm searching for matte eyeshadow. Bbia has many ranges from matte to glitters, so I'm easily attracted. Also, it can be used either for eyebrows or blusher. I bought from Koreabuys website, but it took almost a month to arrive (online seller usually needs 2-3 weeks). But I think it was late because of many holidays this month. I know, the price is usually higher than normal online shop, but it's easy to choose because they have many brands available.

Since the first time I saw this cushion tint from L'oreal on Youtube in early this year, I've been wondering if it's available in my country. This cushion tint is famous with Blossom Caresse name worldwide, although it is named as Tint Caresse. Finally, I grabbed one through Blibli online site, even though it took almost two weeks thanks to slow delivery from First Logistics. Well, JNE only took 1-2 days before it arrived at my home, while First Logistics might took 5 days! What a waste. I should have bought it in our department store because this is actually available there. I think L'oreal Indonesia just brought a few little shades, despite L'oreal Japan have many shades and more interactive website with real colors picture. I was actually interested in B01 Sakura Pink, but it's not available here. So I bought B03 Peach Blossom (or Fantasy Peach). Meanwhile, I just bought B08 Plum Blossom (or Dark Plum) to see if darker color would suit me too and to try mixing two colors. I should have bought B04 Orchid Blossom to match B03, but it wasn't available in Blibli.

I'm so happy! My Coffret D'or Party Coffret for Christmas 2015 finally arrived on my hands. I have waited for more than a month to be able to grab it because it contains nail care. You can read about it and my introduction on how to use it in this post. I don't need to write about how to use its eyeshadow anymore. This Party Coffret contains Soft Glamorous Eyes eyeshadow in #08 Rose Variation, Premium Stay Rouge lipstick PK-293 (pink), and Nail Care Oil N. All in a gorgeous pink pouch of EX-1 set.

This lipgloss is actually my sister's. But she gave me to try for a day. It's another lipgloss from DAISO. The other one I have is in shade Shine Cherry. A red shade lipgloss on its liquid, but very sheer and almost doesn't have color. I think Baby Pink is no different.

I think the last time I wore a softlens was a year ago? You know, the AGEHA softlens, which I wasn't satisfied. After so many thoughts, I bought another lens from online. I don't know which country produced Fale Winter, maybe China? Because I couldn't find its website despite it's written "falehouse.com", the site isn't available. I don't believe most of sellers here. Even though they said it's made in Korea, there is no website. And I think I know some Japanese brand softlens, which never get sold here. You see, I often saw Youtube videos and most Japanese cosplayers wore weird name brands I couldn't find here, ex: Cecil, GLAM LENS, Rodeo, etc (see Kawaii Pateen Youtube channel if you're curious. There's a lot of Japanese softlen brands introduced there).

I finally ventured to the world of high-end brand cosme in Japan! After mid-end Kanebo Coffret D'or, I'm tempted to try ADDICTION by Ayako. It's actually a famous brand used by New York models etc. Their brand model to represent Winter Blush is Vanessa Moody. She's very beautiful! Her eyes can reflect cool expression. Back to the topic. ADDICTION produced their winter blush range. The no.1 representing this season blush collection is #34 Winter Blush, a non-pearl antique rose shade. I was attracted by the model's dark but fluffy pink shade. It resembles pink cheek because of cold weather so much! Especially when added with pure white snowy skin like its model.

Yeayy! I'm finally back to watch J-dorama. I was neglecting J-dorama after graduated from high school. Some J-doramas aired in local TV station, but I didn't have time to watch because most of them were airing at evening / after lunch. I must go to university from morning to evening, and after working, I couldn't spend any time to come back before 6 PM! No, I can't watch them on my local TV. Finally, after some boring K-dramas (I think it's after Pinocchio had ended on One Channel, I didn't watch the after drama, except Yong Pal and Achiara, which weren't too good), I decided to watch J-dorama again. I watched some older doramas like Shitsuren Chocolatier, Diet Rebound, Time Spiral, Koinaka, Second Love, Algernon ni Hanataba wo 2015, Death Note 2015, Gakkou no Kaidan etc. But what I want to write in this post are my currently ongoing doramas. They're mostly about suspense/thriller, a detective theme. But I'll write why they're good to watch even if you don't like detective theme.

I finally purchased Coffret D'or Party Coffret (around 5,400Y) for Christmas 2015 collection. But I couldn't grab it right now. I must wait until mid December to get it because it contains nail product and can't be carried through cargo (dangerous goods must be carried by hand if I want it quick, hence it must be special handled). So I will introduce this set first before I can try all of them. Well, this Christmas 2015 is full of party coffret cosmetics in Japan. Below is the list of some I know:

1. Paul & Joe Beaute Le Bal Masque makeup collection (4,800Y) contains 5 colors eyeshadows (in a plastic paper, quiet unique), waterproof eyeliner, rose treatment balm, and a cheek gloss? blusher. This is the cheapest I found from Christmas coffret. But looks unique. Now I want some... Especially the set 001 (Oh! Carnival, set 002 is Le Bal Masque) (because of the cheek gloss color is very soft-looking) which a Youtuber Hashimoto Nami introduced here.


2. Kanebo Lunasol Party Coffret (6,500Y) contains eyeshadow palette, creamy cheek, bordeaux color mascara, and liploss in a pouch. Nah, not interested except for the creamy cheek & lip. Hanacoco and AmiBeautyTV introduced here.


3. Suqqu 2015 Christmas Makeup Kit (8,000Y) contains trio eyeshadow, gel eyeliner, and eye makeup remover in a pouch. I think the eyeshadow colors are too common and the other items aren't enticing. But the price is wow!


4. Jill Stuart Destiny Closet Collection (7,500Y) contains  5 colors eyeshadow palette, powder blush, lipgloss, and nail lacquer. Cute, but I don't like the eyeshadow color.


5. Cosme Decorte AQMW Makeup Coffret IV-click 11月1日 menu (6,800Y) contains quad eyeshadow palette, powder blush & highlighter, rouge balm, and lasting gel liner. The selection items are pretty!


6. IPSA Illuminating Collection (6,264Y) contains Face Color Designing Palette IC (cheek color, shading, highlighter, perfecting color in one palette), brown mascara, brown gel eyeliner, pink beige gel eyeliner in a pouch.


7. Shiseido Cle de Peau Beaute 2015 Collection Bal Masque (15,000Y) contains 4 colors eyeshadow palette, mascara, and rouge a levre (lipstick). The price is insane!


Coffret D'or Party Coffret set contains Soft Glamorous Eyes eyeshadow, Premium Stay Rouge lipstick, and Nail Care Oil N in a different color pouch according to the nail polish' cap, the eyeshadow case, and the lipstick tube.

Do you know this brand? If you live in Singapore, you must have known that already, because it's distributed in there. Well, I bought from online seller in Japan though. VECUA Honey specialized in making honey extracts skincare & makeup. It's mainly produced skincare for face & body. Little did I know that VECUA came from Sony. It was explained in this blog. I intended to buy this when I visit Tokyu Hands in Orchard, but I couldn't find the blusher. There was a rack for VECUA, but not for this puff blusher. I only found the cream cheek. Uh, I'm more tempted by the pon pon drawing so I don't need the cream cheek. The one I grabbed is VECUA (Wonder Honey) Honey Dew Pon Pon Cheek in shade Hanatsubomi or Flowerbud in English. There are 3 shades right now; Bara-iro (Rose), Hanatsubomi (Flowerbud/coral-pink), and Hinata-iro (Sunkissed/orange). One product is in different shape of puff, which is Shiro-usagi shippo or white bunny tail's puff. The normal puff is only in round shape fluffy puff.

I bought another BB cream from KATE. This is the new type of Mineral BB Gel Cream, which I have bought twice. Mineral Mask BB is specifically for dry skin, but after using it, I think it's quiet the same. Let's see about its new packaging and formula on my post. Click more.

A'pieu is a Korean brand under ABLE C&C Co., Ltd. I got a sample after purchasing Mamonde Cover Powder Cushion and so, I only tried its sample. It comes with SPF30 / PA++. There are two types of Lighting series, the Luster-Lighting and the Water-Lighting. My guess is the Luster-Lighting to create dewy finish and the Water-Lighting is to create moist & perfect skin without blemishes. I might be wrong though because it's hard to find description about this product.

I bought another Mamonde product. After trying their Creamy Tint Color Balm, I'm tempted to try their cushion. It's a collaboration between Mamonde x Marymond edition, although Mamonde also sold it in normal edition. But I'm (money) totally eaten by the pretty flowery drawing it has. The shade I bought is #17 Light Beige. I'm pretty sure it will suit me since I'm usually buy shade #13. And no.17 means it won't be too white. I have ordered it since 5 weeks ago, but thanks to Chuseok, it got delayed and arrived just at the end of October.

This post will remark the end of my SG haul. Well, not everything, I still have my sister's three items to review (Brilliant Lip Gloss shade Baby Pink, BB Face Cream, and Seductive Cheek & Highlight blusher). But since it will take a long time before she opened it, I think this is the end of mine. I picked Ellefar Princess Duo Color Cheek in shade Strawberry. Well, I thought I grabbed peach, but my sister's friend who picked it up because I was searching for another product, put the wrong shade. Oh gosh, I must bear having another pinky shade in my blushers stash!

This is sad, really. I just found out from a touch of blusher website that this brand, Lavshuca, won't produce cosmetic anymore. I know. I just have one of its lipstick, which is Dramatic Memory Rouge RS-2. But I like the lipstick so much. It's very soft, sheer but I can build the color, and very elegant. That's too bad, but yeah. Their packaging won't win against Shiseido Majolica Majorca although I never tried MajoMajo. After I bought Dramatic Memory Rouge, I think I never heard Lavshuca on any overseas website or review. I have predicted that. Anyway, Kanebo still have KATE, and that is their best brand in drugstore range. Hope KATE will create more dramatic & edgy cosmetic to be compared with cute packaging in the future. Because I love KATE's quality! Don't forget they also have Coffret D'or. Will buy their winter set (Party Coffret) EX-1 next!


Well, Shiseido still have many famous brand such as MajoMajo, Maquillage, Integrate. I think their brand won the market. Sadly, I never try any brand from Shiseido cosme except their shampoo (Tsubaki & Ma Cherie). *shame I will try their brand soon. Maybe start from MajoMajo since Maquillage is too expensive. Be sure to watch Maquillage Snow Beauty web drama on Shiseido website. It's short, magical, and almost teary. Speaking of Snow Beauty, it is their product name, a face powder. It is made of beautiful round case with elegant bling bling snow on its case. I think it can be used as daytime face powder and at night after skincare. It helps the skincare etc, I don't remember. But I guess people won't put face powder while sleeping, true? Moreover with that pricey powder, I won't put it for touch ups anything so I can keep it safe. Of course the price is also very expensive, around 6,000-9,000 Yen or Rp 800.000 - 1.200.000 just for one product!! Let me think over 1.000 time. Although I'm tempted about its case. I won't buy one product for over 5,000 Yen. Don't forget there is a unique cosmetic name in Japan, which is Kesalan Patharan. Does that remind you of a Japanese demon Kesaran Pasaran? It has furry body.


About Snow Beauty:






Shiseido Maquillage Snow Beauty Youtube webdrama:


If you don't understand Japanese, I'll give you brief explanation of the story:

A little girl (Kobayashi Miyu) was looking outside of window when suddenly a snow fairy (Yamada Aina) came. This snow fairy told her an interesting story about "summer snow".

Nikaidou Fumi is a snow fairy working at the pub. I don't know what her name is written here, because it can be read as either Yukina or Setsuna. So I'll keep writing their real names, okay? A man with glasses (Hoshino Gen) approached her, asking her to be his girlfriend or so. Each day, he came but the girl didn't bug. She said she must meet a man she's been searching. But after Hoshino Gen tells her that he's a half snow fairy (means, his mother is a snow fairy and a human father), Nikaido Fumi agrees to get close to him. By getting close day by day, they had good moments. But it was ruined until Nikaido Fumi saw the man she searched on TV. She hurriedly go to where the filming was, and met the man with his wife & child. Too bad for a snow fairy, she couldn't stand summer & beach. Nikaido Fumi fell after that. With her beloved wish, the snow fell on summer so she could get healthy again and go straight home to meet Gen. But he's not there. It made her worried if Gen was using all his strenght to create snow on summer and disappeared. After waiting, he came back, finally. Happy ending.

I have heard about K-Palette before, but never expected to try their product. I think the packaging is very bland compared with the other eyeliner brand. There are just big texts and One Day Tattoo announcement. Well, I know this eyeliner is categorized as good eyeliner amongst beauty blogger, so I'll give it a try. K-Palette is made under CUORE Corporation & Kinoshita Pharmaceutical. I didn't know much about their product except K-Palette but they also made skincare under Kinolabo brand.

Hey I'm back with DAISO Mix Cheek Powder. I have reviewed the #2 Magic Color here. This time, it's the #3 Cute Color. I rarely found any review for this color. The most I got on net is Pink Color. But, I couldn't find Pink Color at its store, so I chose Cute Color in the end. It's because Magic Color might be unsuit for natural makeup, thanks to purple-y shade. Well, I could find the shade is pretty, but it would suit more to night makeup. And my prediction was right. Cute Color is suitable for daily use.

I love KATE cosmetic so much! They sells it in drugstore with not too cheap price (though I think the price is similar to Bourjois and Revlon for high end drugstore), but the quality can be compared to high end department store brand. Their famous BB cream, Mineral BB Gel Cream has changed to Mineral Mask BB for dry skin. I'm in the middle of ordering and waiting for Mineral Mask BB to arrive, so I still have more of KATE review than these two. KATE is still using Kuroki Meisa as their model, which I'm happy about because she suits the brand concept of Tokyo metropolitan city (Please watch her with GACKT in Time Spiral mini dorama. She's very pretty & gorgeous there). For now, I'll be reviewing my last KATE items from my SG haul, the Brown Shade Eyes BR-3 Sepia eyeshadow and the Slim Create Powder for Cover EX-1 contouring cosme. There is no disappointing product of KATE for me for what I have bought until now.

No need to say about Bourjois' blush quality. I love my Rose D'or and decided to grab another color. I intended to buy the Sienne for shading, but I bought many contouring powder lately, so I chose Rose Eclat. Rose Eclat is another famous color from this range, less glittery, and darker than Rose D'or.

Winmax is another famous brand sold for DAISO Japan. I have read that this kind of lipstick is a good one, even though I was afraid it wouldn't come good on me because it's very cheap. But I should grab on one at least, right? Finally, this is my second lip product from DAISO to try.

I've decided to create another mix review in one post. Apparently, I used the two of them on the same day so I could take a picture wearing these two. One item is the long awaited Canmake Glow Fleur Cheeks I bought at Tokyu Hands SG in shade 02 Apricot Fleur. The other one is the last eyeshadow I bought from Daiso Vivo City SG, Pearl in Eyeshadow A shade Natural Brown. This eyeshadow is a hype product even in Japan itself.

I cheated a bit to buy another cosmetic, despite I've said that I might not buy anything (except if I want to repurchase and buy Coffret D'or Autumn Set 2015, but it will have winter part set too. I might buy the party collection EX-1 in rose variation) until next year. Whatever... I bought my second Emina makeup, an Indonesian brand, the My Favorite Things Lip Color Balm. The packaging reminds me of Revlon Colorburst lip crayon. No, not Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm. It looks like Revlon, though, for me. I call it a lipstick because the color is bold & leaving stain, unlike a lipbalm. If I call it a lip stain, it's too glossy. So, better choose what is my mind told me. I have decided I wanted to try Emina's lip crayon, especially this shade of Library Queen.
