I am back with a cleaning soap review. It's Shizengokochi Facial Soap (Green Tea). This soap is very famous in Japan although I never really heard it until a month ago. Since I got this soap last month, I have been using it every single day now. The very first thing that attracts me to this soap is the scent. It has a very fresh green tea fragrance which i love. This soap contains natural green tea extract and claims to removes dead cells and dirt of whitehead.

Shizengokochi Facial Soap comes with a foaming net bag that will help us to create lather. What I usually do when I wash my face is I place the bar soap inside the net bag, wet and rub them together until they produce lather, then i will massage the lather into my face gently. This soap definitely cleans and refresh my skin without drying them out, but it also doesn't leave a slippery feeling to my skin like many other cleaning soap do.

 After using this soap several days, some people said this product makes their complexion looks brighter. Sadly, I don't experience the same result. My before and after complexion looks the same, and I've been using it almost a month now. One thing for sure, I am never been a fan of a soap bar, I think it's less hygienic and not too convenient. So I wish so much they would make it in a liquid form too!

Overall, I feel likeShizengokochi Facial Soap is only so-so and nothing special. But if you are curious and want to try it, especially if you are wandering this product can really give you the brightening effect, then you can find it on Guardian, Grand Lucky, Metro and Watson with various prices 

Pros: 

• Bar soap -  it was neither hygienic nor convenient
• Does not give the brightening effect. 

Hey Beauties!

I am back with another "My First...." post series. My previous post was about first beauty products that I own,  and now it's about my first NYX products. Why NYX? Because NYX is one of the first brand that  I have when I was starting out with make up. After a while I have mixed feeling for these products, some I love, some are just so-so. With no further ado, lets get started!

NYX Pen Eyeliner ( Jet Black)
I honestly had a big hope with this eyeliner. But sadly, the color of this eyeliner is not black enough. And sometimes the ink wont come out even only using it few times, so you have to turn down the eyeliner, so all the liquid would go down to the tip, and after that you could use it again.

NYX Matte Bronzer (Deep Tan)
The color of this bronzer reminds me of chocolate. It's very matte and pigmented. A little bit goes a long way. And one of my go-to bronzer.

NYX Luscious Lipgloss Palette
First of all, I am not a fan of lipglosses moreover lipglosses with palette packaging. I didn't know what got into my head when I bought this product. I probably mistaken this with lipstick palette or I just plainly cant read. Anyhoo, the formula is similar with lipstick but very sheer.

NYX Black Label Lipstick (Cherry)
One of my favorite lipstick line from NYX. Love the packaging, love the formula, love the color, love the scent, love everything about it!

NYX Powder Blush (Cinammon)
One of the most famous product from NYX, and I totally can understand why. It's very pigmented and great colors, the texture is very soft and stay all day on my cheek

NYX Rough Cream Blush (Glow)
If you have dry skin, you probably would dig this product, but since I have oily skin, this product is not for me. Nevertheless, it's so easy to blend and the color is buildable. One swipe and it's enough to brighten up you cheek

Hope you enjoy this post, and now it's your turn: What's your first NYX products? Share it with me please :)

Hey Cupcakes!

I have to admit that I have a love-hate relationship with lipstick. But once I found a lipstick that suits me, I would definitely stick to it and not really bother to find other lipstick. That's the story between me and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick.

One thing that hooked me at the first place to this lipstick was the formula: it's creamy and slightly opaque but not thick enough to thug my lips every time I applied it. I like sheer lipsticks but I would like them more if they give enough color to cover my dark lips, and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick fulfills that wish for me.

When it comes to colors, don't worry Girls, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick has a wide range selection of colors! From dark to bright, you name it! But for me, I prefer colors that similar with my own lip color. 

As you can see below, these are the colors that i picked and I absolutely adore these shades!

Berry Haute / Sassy Mauve / Rose Velvet

Berry Haute / Sassy Mauve / Rose Velvet

The finish of Revlon Super Lustrous is definitely not matte but also not too glossy. It's just right in between. As you can see in the picture, it has a perfect shine that I like in a lipstick. It's also moisturizing and not drying my lips. But you might want to reapply it after several hours though, since the staying power is so-so. Btw, I would like to mention that I bought these lipsticks pre-order on drugstore.com and it cost me $7,99, while I just found out that if you buy it on the counter, the price is less than IDR 50,000. Errrr, should I cry or what??? Anyway, regardless of that, this lipstick is still worth it. 

So have you tried Revlon Super Lustrous? What's your favorite color from this line? Share with me please

I am grateful that once again I got a fullhouse

Hey Lovelies!

I am back with a review from the one and only Lorac Pro Palette. As I've mentioned before, I had been wanting this palette since last year and I was so excited when it finally arrived on my hand, and since then I've been using this palette for work every single day. And this palette is simply amazeballs!

So let's started it

Lorac Pro Palette is an artistry palette that's packed with 8 Shimmer, 8 Matte eye shadows, and a Mini Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. It has a sleek and slim package with a decent size of mirror inside and very travel friendly. This palette was launched in 2012, so it's been around for a while and got all the hype. 

Texture

The top row which is the matte shades, the texture is soft and creamy. And since I've been using it every single day, i know that they are so pigmented, even the lightest shades such as White and Cream has a great color-payoff. Most of matte shades from other palette tend to difficult to blend, but it's a different case with Lorac Pro, it's creamy and very easy to blend . 

The bottom row is the shimmer shades. All the shades here feel so buttery and smooth, except for the Champagne which is a little bit frosty. They are so highly pigmented and a little bit goes a long way. I am sure that i never use any eyeshadow that as buttery as the Lorac Pro Palette.

Colors 

please excuse for the dirty palette, as you can see I've already given this palette so much love :)

I think my swatches did not do any justice for the matte colors because they look a bit powdery on the picture, but keep my word, it's really different when you apply it on you lid, it's so pigmented.

Last word

Only praise that I could say for Lorac Pro Palette. One of the big perks from this palette is definitely the 8 matte shades which i find lacking in many neutral palette out there. If you've been thinking to get this palette, don't hold back, grab it fast! It's worth the price even though it's $42, you buy for the quality anyway :)

Update 05 April 2014

So I've been wearing this palette for several weeks now, and matte shades are the ones that I used the most. I never had problem with their color payoff. But I notice that the matte colors tend to have fall out. and a bit powdery. Nevertheless, the fall out and the powdery issue are not really bothering me, I still think this palette is amazing and still the one that I reach out the most. 

Hey Beauties! 

I am back with a haul post! Most of these products I bought online and I am so excited to share what I got with you guys. So here we go!
