Review: NYX Eyebrow Gel in Black

Hi Everyone,
Hari ini saya mau ngomongin tentang NYX eyebrow gel dulu ah, mau tebar-tebar racun, haha. Kalau kalian udah baca postingan saya tentang 2014 top makeup faves saya di postingan ini (klik), kalian bisa baca kenapa saya suka sama produk ini. Tapi hari ini saya mau ngomongin dengan lebih lengkap. Oh ya, kalo kalian sudah ngikutin blog saya dari jaman dulu banget pasti nyadar kalo saya gak pernah bagus kalo gambar alis, ya kan? ya kan?. Jujur, karena saya gak pernah memberikan perhatian lebih sama alis pada waktu dandan. Karena menurut saya, menggambar alis dengan pensil itu adalah bagian paling membosankan, suka gak tahan pengen buru-buru selesai, jadinya ya bentuknya gak pernah oke. Padahal alis merupakan bagian  penting sebagai frame wajah, makanya saya mulai cari-cari beberapa produk untuk alis yang bisa lebih mempermudah rutinitas menggambar alis .

Beberapa bulan lalu saya mulai coba-coba dengan yang namanya brow gel. Sebenernya sih saya kepengen coba Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade yang sedang hype itu. Tapi saya masih pikir-pikir karena harganya lumayan mahal dan saya masih belum jago gambar alis. Jadi nanti sayang banget kalo pake produk mahal buat coba-coba. Beruntunglah, sekitar 4 bulan lalu NYX meluncurkan banyak produk baru, salah satunya NYX eyebrow gel. Karena penasaran,saya order NYX eyebrow gel ini dari web Cherry Culture yang warna black.


Claim:

Price:
 Harga asli di web sekitar $7, Tapi kalau dijual di olshop sekitar idr 100-150 rb

Where to buy?
-NYX Eyebrow Gel ini tersedia di web www.cherryculture.com dan www.bluescandal.com
- Kalau di Indonesia,olshop yang buka pre-order dari web ini dimana ya? Kalian bisa baca post saya di sini
  
Packaging :

- Kemasan tube plastik yang dipencet dengan ujung yang sangat kecil dan runcing.
- Isi produknya 10ml
- Plastiknya transparant, jadi bisa melihat jelas warna dan banyak produk yang tersisa di dalamnya.
- Sangat travel friendly karena kemasannya sangat kecil, tidak memerlukan banyak tempat di dalam makeup pouch.
- Sebetulnya saya kurang suka dengan jenis kemasan ini, karena kalau pakai harus di pencet dulu produknya di atas tangan, baru kita ambil produknya dengan kuas. 
-Kadang rada sulit untuk mengontrol seberapa banyak produknya yang keluar di tangan. Karena setiap kali pemakaian saya hanya butuh sedikiiit banget produknya, kalau produk yang dipencet kebanyakan, jadinya kebuang deh itu sisanya yang di punggung tangan.

Shades selection:

- Saya pakai warna `black`, karena warna asli rambut alis saya cukup hitam, jadi pasti bakal aneh kalau pakai warna yang terlalu terang. Sebenarnya saya ingin coba yang warna espresso, tapi warna ini stok nya selalu habis di beberapa web.
- Walaupun nama shade nya `black`, tapi warna hitamnya sedikit  taupe, bukan yang hitam pekat. Jadi pas untuk kalian yang punya rambut hitam, tapi ingin alis yang terlihat natural.

Swatch:

Formula:
- Gel texture, sangat kental, tapi kalo di oles di tangan terasa seperti mousse. Sangat lembut, jadi sangat mudah dioleskan.
- Pigmentasi? extremely pigmented. Cuman dibutuhkan sedikit produk untuk menggambar dua bagian alis.
- Setelah dioleskan, NYX eyebrow gel ini akan mengering dalam beberapa detik. Setelah mengering, walaupun di gosok-gosok, produknya tidak akan terhapus.

Longevity:
-NYX eyebrow Gel ini sangat tahan lama sewaktu dipakai. Seperti klaimnya, eyebrow gel ini memang waterproof dan smudgeproof
-Eyebrow gel ini bisa tahan sampai 6-8 jam di alis saya tanpa touch-up. Biasanya kalau pakai pensil alis, saya harus sering-sering touch-up, karena baru beberapa jam sudah banyak bagian yang hilang di alis. Tapi dengan NYX eyebrow gel ini saya bisa tenang dan gak sering-sering ngaca, karena sampai 8  jam bentuk alis saya masih bagus seperti pertama kali pakai.


Aplikator yang pas untuk digunakan:

- Aplikator yang paling pas untuk produk tipe ini adalah angled eyeliner brush. Karena jenis kuas ini ujungnya pipih, diagonal, dan tipis. Ujung kuas seperti ini sangat memudahkan dalam menggambar alis karena mampu mengikuti bentuk alis saat pengaplikasian.


How to use:

- Karena NYX eyebrow gel ini sangat pigmented, saya cuman butuh sedikit produknya saat pemakaian.
- Keluarkan produknya di punggung tangan, hati-hati waktu memencet tube-nya ya, supaya produk yang keluar tidak terlalu banyak.
- oleskan kuas ke produk yang sudah dikeluarkan di punggung tangan tadi.
- Mulai menggambar alis deh dengan kuas tadi. Karena NYX eyebrow gel ini sangat pigmented, kalau kalian suka hasil yang natural, harus benar-benar light handed ya waktu mengoles, supaya hasilnya tidak terlalu tebal dan strong.

Quick `Natural Eyebrow` Tutorial :

- Rapihkan rambut alis dengan sikat alis sampai terlihat bentuk asli alis.
- Gambar bingkai alis bagian bawah terlebih dahulu mengikuti  bentuk asli alis. Dimulai dari sudut dalam ke ujung luar alis. Saya lebih suka membingkai bagian bawah alis terlebih dahulu karena bisa lebih mudah buat mengontrol tingginya lekukan.
- lanjutkan dengan membingkai alis bagian atas
- isi bagian kosong di dalam bingkai atas dan bawah
- Sikat alis yang sudah digambar tadi, supaya hasilnya tidak terlalu harsh dan tampak natural.

Overall:

Produk ini adalah salah satu must have item di makeup routine saya. I looove this product so much. Dengan harga yang cukup terjangkau, saya bisa punya produk sebagus ini. Saya suka teksturnya yang sangat pigmented dan mudah dibaurkan. A litle goes a long way. Longevity nya juga bagus, Smudgeproof, dan waterproof.

Gimana? tertarik buat coba?
Makasih sudah mampir sini
have a nice day
xoxo

Review: NYX Eyeshadow Base `Skintone`

Hi beauties, if you have read my post about eyeshadow reviews, i always mentioned to use an eyeshadow base/primer before applying your eyeshadow. yes, eyeshadow base is one of the important thing on eye makeup. an eyeshadow base will make your eyes makeup more vibrant, pop and much more last longer. it made your eye makeup less powdery too because you don't need to apply lot of eyeshadow to get a vivid color.

I remember when i'm newbie on makeup things, i used a lip balm on my lids to make my eyeshadow looks more pop, LOL!  because i didn't have any idea what kind of product should i use. After i joined on a female forum, i get lot on info there. finally, i knew what kind of product that i should to used. Yes, an eyeshadow base or eye primer! there are lot of brand of eyeshadow base and primer out there and i have tried a lot since that day. One of them is eyeshadow base from NYX brand. It's a good stuff for you in case you want to start buying an eyeshadow base on a average budget. and today i'm gonna share with you an opinion about this eyeshadow base.

Product Name:
 NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skintone

What This (nyx claims) : 

Maximize the intensity, longevity and unashamed brilliance of your eye shadow statements with our eye shadow primer pots. Each of the three NYX Eye Shadow Bases—for vibrant, pearl or neutral tones—creates a smooth canvas for color, increases its durability and prevents fallout.

Price :
 IDR 60k - 80k

Where to Buy : 
I bought this eyeshadow base here (click)

Packaging :

NYX eyeshadow base comes in a tiny transparent jar with a white screw cover. Of course the packaging is not kinda hygienic because basically you must dipping a finger to take the product. That's why i always prefer tube packaging that much more hygienic.

Color & Texture:
NYX eyeshadow base is available in 3 shades. White, pearl and skintone, mine is skintone. Like the name, this eyeshadow color have a skintone color. light beige with a little bit tone of ivory, it's similar with concealer color. Looks so natural on my eyelids, even without eyeshadow over this base.

This eyeshadow base has a smooth & creamy texture, very easy to blend. You only need a tiny amount to covering all over eyelid. i think for the size,although it comes in tiny jar, this eyeshadow base will be last for a long time because you only need a tiny amount for every application.

My Opinion:
is it make eyeshadow vivid, pop and vibrant? absolutely YES. this eyeshadow base has amazing job to make eyeshadow much more pop and vibrant. This base can make un-pigmented eyeshadow will show up very-very well. I think nyx eyeshadow base is the best for make eyeshadow more vibrant compared with another brand. i never found another better than this.

is it waterproof? Yes. when you use this eyeshadow base and then you go for swimming or washing face, this base will hold your eyeshadow very well from the water.

is it make eyeshadow last longer? Yes. it can make my eyeshadow stays for 5-6 hours. quite well.

is it crease proof? unfortunately it's not so, since this eyeshadow base has very creamy texture. It doesn't have a silicone texture like an eye primer. Eye primer will do a better job to hold an eyeshadow from creasing but i think primer doesn't doing much to make un-pigmented eyeshadow become a vibrant like an creamy base.

if you have a super oily eyelid (like me) i suggested to use an primer too underneath this base, such like a $1 ELF eyelid primer. it's a perfect combination. still get the super vibrant color and my eyeshadow is still crease-less, but if your eyelid not so oily, this base will work great on you.

Swatch:
overall, this eyeshadow base is quite a good deal for the price. considering it does amazing job to make eyeshadow much more vibrant..
 pros :
- creamy texture and very easy to blend
- decent price
- does amazing job to make eyeshadow much more vivid, vibrant and pop
- only need a little amount
- waterproof
- make eyeshadow stays quite longer.

cons:
- unhygienic packaging
- not so crease-proof for super oily eyelid like mine.. huks.

So, thats my opinion..
thx for reading and have a nice day friends...

Review & Swatch: NYX powder blush `Angel`

Happy December everyone....
fiuuuh...Time passes so quick...Just can not believe that 2012 will be over sooner and i`m so excited facing this December.
December is a fun month to me (maybe to you all also) really like December atmosphere, beautifull lights and decorations at every shopping mall, watching lot of good favourite movies at television and the most interesting is the year-end discount in the cosmetic counter and website.

Today is my first post on December. I have a few new drugstore blushes by last month. This is one of them : NYX powder blush in shade "Angel". so, let's enjoy my opinion about this blush. hope this review will helpfull to you.

product name :
NYX powder blush in 'Angel'


NYX claims :
Our pressed powder blush delivers sheer, silky color that glides on, blends beautifully and creates a natural glow. The formula is richly-pigmented and lasts for hours.

Where to buy? : 
This blush is available at cherryculture.com  if you are living in Indonesia, you can buy this item via online shop that offers US cosmetics pre-order.
Price:
IDR 70rb / $7.5 you will get 5.2 gr blush

Packaging :

The design looks simple, it comes in a square clean black packaging with the clear cover. So you can see through the color inside. The bad thing about the packaging is, if you touch the clear cover, you can feel the packaging is quite flimsy. It can broke easily when you dropped it. so, remember being careful with it.
Ingredients:


Color & Finish :

NYX  blush has wide range of shades on the website, it available in 27 shades.
I discribed NYX powder blush angel as a shimmery peach-beige color on the pan.
It’s kind of like blush and highlighter in one. when i do swatch on my finger, it looks very shimmery beige color too,but when i try to blend this blush on my cheek, the color turns into a light shimmery dusty pink color. it surprised me, a pretty unique color.


this color is a pretty natural color actually. if you have a medium-light skintone, this color will looks very pretty on your cheek, it will be flattering your face and this color can reflect the glow on your cheek very well but it doesn't work on me..

first, i love to look 'over-do' on my cheeks but this blush doesn't showing much the color (i'm NW35 now). This color just gives my cheeks a nice natural glow. it's almost like a highlighter color.
second, the shimmery effects showing up my imperfection skin more and more.
NYX blush `angel` on my cheek :
Texture and Pigmentation :
The formulation is pigmented. this blush has a nice color pay-off and the color are buildable too.
the down side from this blush is the texture that little chalky and powdery. It can be quite messy especially when you use wrong brush or in a rush to dab it.

Application Tips  : 
Use the small and pointed brush to dab the powder on the pan. ELF studio blush brush is the best choice for this purpose. It's less messy and takes the powder very well. After you swipe it on your cheek, blending out with a buffing brush or a powder brush.
Staying Power : 
Decent, it lasts for 5 hours on my cheek.


Overall, this blush is good... If you like a natural and glowing effect on your skin, you should have this blush.
It's  a gorgeous and perfect blush for daily use especially if you have a medium-fair skintone but if your skin is medium-darker, I'm not sure if this Angel is going to show up on your skin as cheek colors but it would be perfect as a highlighter.

pros :
- Inexpensive
- Beautiful natural color for daily use
- the colors are buildable
- It’s like a blush & highlighter in one

cons :

- flimsy packaging
- powdery & chalky texture

so, whats your favourite NYX powder blush?
thx for reading..
have a nice day...

Review: NYX HD Photogenic Concealer in `Beige`

I`m using ELF Studio Under Eyes Concealer & Highlighter for over 6 months.. It`s a great under eye concealer..but i  almost finished up this concealer.. so,  it`s time to looking for something new...and this is my new one...

Name: NYX HD Photogenic concealer in `Beige`

Where to buy? i bought this concealer at cherry culture.com but you can buy this stuff by pre order on many local online shops that offer NYX products

Price ? $4.5 at cherry culture website, idr 65rb shipping & tax included at local online shop

What it is?
This lightweight cover-up obscures imperfections, discoloration and under eye circles, and it does without ever looking cakey or obvious too. Little wonder the Concealer Wand is one of our best-sellers. The concentrated, emollient-rich concealer formula goes on like a dream, and creates medium to heavy coverage. Available in 12 shades. Use the lavender for sallow skin, the green tone neutralize redness and the yellow for under-eye darkness.

Packaging: 
 It comes in a clear plastic tube with a dot wand applicator.. its very easy to use.. but i wish it comes with a squeeze tube packaging for hygienic purpose..


Shades: 
The HD Photogenic Concealer is available in 12 shades, from the  white porcelain to deep colours for very dark skin including three color corrector shades (green, yellow, violet).
i choose the `beige` shade.. it's slightly lighter for my face, but i use it for covering my dark circle only..so, it's perfect for brightening my undereyes area...
 
How to use it?
 I just apply three dot on my under eyes area (in a little amount) and then blending out using my finger with tapping motion..but sometimes i`m  using a concealer brush to blending out if i`m in hurry.. this concealer definetely can use on other face area to covering your acne, dark spots, redness..
 
Texture & Pigmentation : 
This concealer has a different texture if i compare with ELF under eyes concealer.. NYX has thicker texture.. but it's still creamy and easy to blend.. it's not look cakey like if i`m wearing cream concealer..but it dries quickly.. so ya, i need to work faster to blending out..

i love the pigmentation.. i think this is the best pigmentation from the cheap range price concealer.. you only need a little ammount to hide the imperfection.. it does amazing job to covering my dark circle...it has slightly powdery finish..

Ingredients:

Swatch :

Overall, this concealer really makes me happy... i`m not interested trying NYX concealer again since i`m dissapointed with NYX concealer in a jar packaging.. but this HD concealer is definetely different.. it did a great job..My current favourite concealer at this moment.. i want to repurchase another shade that perfectly match for my face skintone..maybe the shade `tan` is suit for me..

pros:
- cheap
- creamy texture, very easy to blend
- pigmented..
- paraben free, talc free

cons:
- it dries quickly
- powdery finish
- wand packaging


Thx for reading, have a nice day....

Review & swatches : NYX soft matte lip cream `London` & `Istanbul`

Happy Ied everyoneeee (buat yang merayakannya) , Mohon maaf lahir batin ya... Posting di waktu yang aneh (masih di hari lebaran maksudnya).. hahaha, bangun pagi-pagi, inget ada draft yang dibikin beberapa hari yang lalu belum di selesaiin...Posting review lagi.... hahaha,semoga gak bosen ya..... kali ini mau review NYX soft matte lip cream. Saya punya yang shade `London` dan `Istanbul`.., sebelumnya sudah pernah punya yang shade `Milan`.. tapi karena jatohnya terlalu dark di bibir saya, saya lego deh... berhubung saya suka banget sama teksturnya, saya putuskan buat beli shade lain.. shade yang saya taksir memang yang shade `london` dan `istanbul` ini..

ini penampakannya

kemasannya hampir sama seperti NYX xtreme lip cream yang sudah pernah saya review di sini, cuma bedanya kalo yang soft matte lebih gede dan matte...

tekstur lipstick ini oke menurut saya, bener-bener creamy tapi ringan di pakainya...gak lengket sama sekali, gak terasa berat di bibir kayak pakai regular lipstick..kalo di kemasannya ini di klaim bukan lipgloss dan bukan lipstick juga,  karena cara apply nya seperti lipgloss (pakai wand ala lip gloss di ujung tutupnya), tapi pigmentasi dan finish nya seperti lipstick matte. tapi matte nya juga gak seperti lipstick matte pada umumnya.., rasanya lebih smooth gitu di bibir.. hahaha
 
pakai-nya juga mudah, karena pakai kuas ala lipgloss itu, jadi begitu di usap langsung glides-on di bibir...setelah beberapa saat, finishnya langsung berubah jadi matte yang nempel di bibir..

waktu pertama kali punya yang shade `milan` dulu, aku suka banget sama pigmentasinya (super banget opaque nya kalo di apply di bibir), gak perlu oles berkali-kali, hasilnya udah bagus banget di bibir... tapi seperti produk-produk nyx yang lain ( beda shade, beda kualitas..hahaha) yang `london` dan `istanbul` ini gak se pigmented yang `milan`... tapi masih bagus pigmentasi nya.. cuman harus oles 2x buat dapet warna seperti di kemasan...

staying powernya juga okeeeee (sangat oke malah), aku makan, minum, tempel-tempel tissue dia masih stay loh..5 jam setelahnya berubah jadi stain waktu cream nya ilang...cuman ati-ati kalo bibir nya lagi kering atau kamu ada di luar panas-panasan sepanjang hari, dia bakal kering yang pecah di bibir... jadi selama bibir kamu tetep lembab, lip cream ini bakal cakep luar biasaaa.. pakai lip balm dulu rada banyak, tunggu sampai lip balm nya meresap, baru oles lip cream nya...  buat saya, lip cream ini baunya gak aneh seperti saudaranya si xtreme lip creme.. baunya soft banget... vanila scent yang kalo gak di cium deket banget gak kerasa aroma nya di hidung... *yaaayy*

Shade `London` ini warna nya nude brown.. ada dikiiit banget hint of peach nya, jatohnya di bibir bener-bener MLBB (my lips but better), warna begini ini favoritku.. gak merubah warna bibir,tapi ngeratain warna bibir yang gak rata.. bener-bener warna yang natural di bibir aku...
London
Kalo yang `istanbul` ,warna nya hampir pale pink (cool undertones),light baby pink.. pas banget buat dandan smokey eyes... saya ngidam ini sudah lama, pengen beli pas Cherry Culture lagi sale (karena murah gak sampe 60rb), tapi shade ini lagi OOS terus.. baru dapet si istanbul ini beberapa hari yang lalu..wehehe...di olshop harganya 70rb.. tapi puas lah udah dapet shade ini... and i love this one too...
Istanbul


ini swatch nya :
kiri : london, kanan:istanbul

dan ini jatohnya di bibir saya....

overall me likey this product, i wanna buy the other colors... maybe stockholm and antwerp....
 pros:
- very handy packaging
- good texture, very creamy, glides on smoothly on my lips
- smells good
- good staying power
- pigmented & opaque
 
con:
- sometimes its cakey on your lips and drying..

makasih sudah mampir sini..
have a nice day.. and happy holiday..... yuhuuuuuuu *joget-joget*

Review & swatch: NYX Xtreme Lip Cream `buttery nude`

Seperti yang aku janjiin di post `my everyday make-up routine` kemaren, kalo aku mau review secara terpisah NYX Xtreme lip cream `buttery nude`...Tadinya sebelum aku perhatiin lipstick ini (cuman sekilas2 aja liat pas browsing2 di ulta atau Cherry culture). Aku pikir lipstick ini sama kayak nyx soft matte lip cream (karena sekilas packaging nya juga sama.) tapi ternyata pas aku baca lagi keterangannya lipstick ini :

Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation and a silky finish. This lip cream is the combination of lipstick and lip gloss with supernatural lasting strength. Intensify your look with the Extreme Lip Cream in any of the 13 vivid colors.
Akhirnya setelah baca review-review saya memutuskan buat beli yang shade `buttery nude` karena warnanya tipe warna nude-beige favoritku (dan kebetulan juga ada yg jual ready warna itu). Setelah datang ternyata ukurannya lebih kecil daripada soft matte lip cream, tapi memang mirip.. aplikatornya seperti aplikator lipgloss pada umumnya...


Buttery nude ini warna nya medium nude pink tapi lebih ke beige, warnanya pas buat hari-hari..


Pro:
- very pigmented, 1 kali oles aja udah keliatan opaque banget...pigmentasi nya menurutku malah lebih dari lipstick2 pada umumnya.. 1 kali oles aja warna nya udah bold banget walaupun shade nya di kemasanya keliatan medium, jadi bakal hemat karena gak perlu re-apply berkali-kali... haha.
- teksturnya unik,smooth, glossy finish tapi gak lengket-lengket kaya lipgloss pada umumnya, tapi juga teksturnya pekat banget gitu...
- gak seperti soft matte lip cream yang suka ngeringin, xtreme lip cream ini lembab di bibir
- staying powernya bagus,kalo di bibirku walopun habis di pakai makan minum masih tersisa stain nya.. jadi masih ada warnanya walo dikit2 gitu....
- sangat praktis buat yang suka pakai lipstick terus dioles lipgloss lagi di atasnya...jadi kayak bawa lipstick+lipgloss dalam 1 kemasan dan dalam 1 kali pakai...

cons:
- baunya aneeeeeeh, seperti bau krim kedaluarsa gitu...
swatch di bibir ku

repurchase:
-kemungkinan iya, kalo yang buttery nude udah abis.. mau coba shade `natural` atau `nude peach fuzz`
jadi, ada yang pernah coba shade lain? share dooonk..
thx sudah mampir dan baca d sini
