review: MAC blot powder/pressed

whats this? 

a unique pressed powder designed primarily to provide shine control without adding any noticeable colour or texture. sets foundation, finishes face, for frequent touch up. this blot powder contains mica n silica to absorbs excess oil and reduce shine on the skin`s surface.

i really fallin` love with this powder! I have the blot powder in `medium` before i tried this `medium dark`. this powder doesn't have any coverage at all..so you don't need to worry about choosin` the perfect shade for your face. They just did perfect job to mattifying my oily face..

what i like from this powder:
- love the packaging...its sleek and travel friendly..
- Perfect for sets foundation (apply after my urban decay de slick setting spray, and violaaa.... my make up trully lastall day)
- This stuff significantly reduces the oil enough, It really gives matte finish.
- Lasts long. I have to blot at least one time. This keeps shine at bay longer than most
- it doesn't get too cakey upon reapplication.

cons:
- hate the puff, too harsh on my face
- it's expensive (almost $30 / IDR 260.000 for .42 oz)

review: inez eye make up remover

another Indonesian cosmetic brand review again... product name is: Inez color contour plus eye makeup remover.. Inez is one of my favorite Indonesian local brand.. i have tried lot of they products.. and i really like it.. the blushes, eyeshadows, powder and foundation.. they are all have good quality in cheap price.. so, when i went to the local beauty store near at my home and looking for this stuff, i decided to buy and tried too..this is the product:

pros:
- cheap
- tiny bottle.. so it's very travel friendly
- the texture is very light.. doesn't feel greasy.. it's like a face toner..
- it contains UV protection

cons:
- it's hard to take off the waterproof mascara and eyeliner..

Brush Cleanser from `make up tool shop`

I have two pieces new beauty items for this week that i bought from makeuptoolshop on facebook.. these new items are blender it sponge and brush cleanser and today i`m gonna make a brush cleanser review...this is the items :

I love the smell of this brush cleanser.. the smell is very nice, it's like a baby shampoo mixed with body wash. really fresh.. the texture of the liquid is thick, it's not so watery..and ya, can`t hardly wait to see the result of the brush cleanser...
i take all my dirty brushes.. look, it's super dirty... yuks.., so this is the step by step to clensing my dirty brushes:

1. prepare a bowl filled with water .. better use warm water .. because I'm lazy, I use cold water..wuahaha
2. pour a few drops of brush cleanser into the bowl, mixed it..
3.put all the dirty brushes into the bowl..actually, you should wash your brushes one by one .. because I'm too lazy (again??) .. I put all the brushes together in... hihihi
4. wait for a minute... while you`re waiting.. you can rub your brushes gently..
see the water, all the dirt are shed... yuks...

.

5.when you see the dirt has been shed and the brushes are clean enough .. take immediately the brushes out from the bowl and place them on top of tisue..let the brushes dry..

 

and this is the one as a result.. my duo fibre brush is clean now (and smells nice too).. it looks like new.. hihi...

overall, i like this brush cleanser product...


pros:
- it's quite cheap,
- have a nice smell,
- very easy to use..
- Really make all my brushes clean..

cons:
-none..

my Favourite NARS blush-on

NARS powder blush is a very popular blush....lot of beauty bloggers rave `bout the NARS blush. the colour just so beautiful, the staying power was great and i`ve try so many NARS blushes (orgasm, super orgasm, angelika, desire, mata hari, dolce vita, sertao, madly), they are all so amazing... but these are the top 3 NARS blushes of mine :

left to right : dolce vita- madly-mata hari

swatches :

DOLCE VITA

This is my favorite, dolce vitta is matte dark rose with the hint of red. it doesn't contain pearl or glitter element. the colors just so perfect on my medium skintone (NC 30)

MADLY

i do not like the shimmery blush but this one is the exception...haha. it shows up the beige peach with the nice subtle shimmer. The natural looking blush i ever have. it gives me a nice healthy flush... really love this one too....

MATA HARI

a beautiful matte purple-pink blush from NARS. it looks very cool on the pan, it works perfectly on my skintone...sogorgeous....it shows up without being too overpowering

so... what's your favorite NARS blush??

my new HG for daily lipstick : NYX jumbo lip pencil ` iced coffe`

swatch on my lips:

topped with NYX round lip gloss `mauve` :

review: sleek blush on `santorini`

After attempting to try sleek blush on `pan tao` and I am very happy with the color, it looks like I started mad crazy on sleek blush..*fiuuh*
This time I decided to try another sleek blush on : santorini. i bought this blush at e-bay for $11. This blush is part of the limited edition Mediterranean Collection.

At the first time I opened this blush, I was very surprised. The color was look scary on the pan...hahaha... This is a matte blush of bright/neon pink-fuschia color with blue undertone.

I think this color may not looks good on my cheek but I was wrong! Although it looks very pigmented, it has great finish pink colors (semi-opaque). I applied the blush with E.L.F stipling brush and buff with flat top kabuki brush. sooooo, the results look very nice on my cheek

the swatch:

the results on my cheek:

pros:
- nice and compact packaging (santorini has a picture of some harbor or city view printed on it)
- not transfer and last all the day on my cheek.
- not chalky

review: maybelline unstoppable mascara curling extension

I'm still looking for a mascara that would give the results like I want and i have tried some maybelline mascaras such as volume express, XXL extensions, stileto, etc. and ...`the unstoppable` almost could be my daily HG  mascara, i think it's great for everyday use...

pros:
- The wand is perfect for my lashes and the brush was curved, not too big. so it made easier to apply on my lashes
- the texture not too wet, but not to dry too....it dries quickly
- It does very smoothly and does not flake-It separates my lashes nicely, no clumpy at all...so it looks really natural on me.
- Adds length to my lashes yet still looks really natural (i hate my lashes looks so thick, like wearing some falsies)
- held the curl all day

cons:
- I just don't like how by the end of the day, this mascara despite its waterproof claim starts to run down giving me raccoon eyes

This is the brush head

As you can see it definitely added  a length  to my lashes

review,swatches and FOTD with sleek pan tao blush.

i`m so excited to write this review..... yeah.. this is my first sleek blush, i bought for $12 (IDR 110k). It looks very bright on the pan, peachy-orange with a hint of coral colors.... the texture is smooth and pigmented enough...
not chalky at all on my cheek. i used duo fiber brush to apply, so i can get the perfect color skin without looking like I'm wearing too much makeup.

the packaging is very cute, it's small enough to fit into my makeup case but the nett weight is 8g (NARS nett weight only 4.5g)

the colors on the pan....

the swatch on my hand

my FOTD with `pan tao` blush

overall i don't have any complain with this blush.... love it


cons : pan tao comes from limited edition series...so i can`t repurchase this lovely stuff again... :(
