Last Haul In 2015: Morphe, Luxola, etc

Okaayyy.. This is my last post in the year of 2016 and although it has nothing to do with new year, I'm back with another haul. Some of the stuffs that I'll mention has been hanging around my house for sometimes now, some even has been put to a test and reviewed. What took me so long?? Well.. I was really waiting for one package to come and finally it came yesterday, after a one month long of waiting and waiting. I don't want to post too many hauls as you guys might get bored, so I'll just gonna put everything in one post. And finally here is my December Collective Haul, rounding up things that I've bought lately.

My Christmas Day Look: Burgundy Pearl Eyes + Red Lips

Hey guys.. Merry Christmas. So I actually planned to go out today on Christmas Day with my family and have some quality time with them. But the plan changed and I end up just hanging around my house with my makeup on. Anyway I want to show you how I do my makeup for this very special day. I decided to go with a burgundy pearl on the eyes and a bright red on my lips.

L'Oreal Brow Artist Genius | Review

I never really had a brow kit before. You know, the one with the wax and powder in one kit. I always wanna try one of it, but never really sure and end up never try it at all. Can you believe it? So when I saw the L'oreal Brow Artist Genius Kit in the counter, I got my eyes and heart hooked to it. So finally I bought it! I picked up both of the colors, 01 Medium to Dark and 02 Light to Medium.

Top 5 Glitter Nail Polishes for The Holiday Season

I realized that I never talked about nail polishes. Not that I hate it, I just don't wear them very often. I do collect some and wear them for special occasions like Christmas, because let's admit that nail polishes can bring our appearance to the next level. And specially on Christmas and New Year, I don't know why, but the mood just made me wanna look extra fancy. It's kinda special. For this season, I'm all about glitters and sparkles. So let's talk about a little inspiration of my nail polishes picks for Christmas Day and New Year Parties.

The Cleansing Elite

Cleansing is probably my most favorite part in my whole skincare routine. Looking at how my face is smeared with cleanser and my dissolved makeup somehow giving me a certain satisfaction. It is sounds weird, isn't it? ^^ The benefit of living in a tropical country is you don't have to trouble yourself using different products for different season, because all year round, even though it is raining or hot, humidity level is still high, so it doesn't change the skin condition much. So as I promised yo guys in my night time skincare routine, here is my full cleansing routine with a few alternative products that I love to use.

November Favorites 2015

Here we are passing the end of November. Can you believe it's December already? Wow.. Times is ticking so fast and in no time it will be Christmas and New Year 2016. I guess that's the deal when we're getting older, times just pass by like nothing. Let me just share a quick November Favorites with you before we get into the Christmas vibe.

My Shopping Experience with Luxola Indonesia

I need to do a quick impression on my shopping experience with Luxola. I meant to get this review up on 30 November by the time I received the package, but I was quite busy and finally find some times today to write this post. I did a purchase on Luxola Indonesia website during Black Friday. They had a 40% discount on all items which is only happen once every year, so I had to take a benefit of that.

Christmas Party Look with 3 Lip Option

Christmas is coming soon and you realized your mail box start to filled with invitations. I thought it's never too early to create a look for the Festive Day, so I came up with a Holiday look that was inspired by Casey Holmes. It is very easy to do look and super glam to wear to a Christmas party.

3 Reasons For Not Losing Faith in Indonesia #GEMAkanINDONESIAmu #100harimenulisIndonesia

I truly love Indonesia. My proud homeland. People said, 'A country full of treasure and gems and friendly people'. It's true!! And lately, I become more and more proud of my country. Put aside all the mess that happens lately, we can see that we as a nation is growing stronger and bigger. Of course there a so many flaws we can say about our country, but instead of writing about all the negative things, I want us to focus more on the positive side.

Random Drugstore Haul

Hey guys.. I did a couple of beauty purchases here and there a couple weeks ago and here are six stuffs that had made their way onto my beauty stash.

So in this post I specifically talk about the skincare and I will did a separate post on the cleansing routine which will be my next post from the whole skincare series.

Black Friday is just around the corner and it means a huge SALE is coming. I found myself being so attached to the Morphe Brushes website building up my wishlist rack for the whole week. And let me tell you, it's a lot.. The good thing is, they shipped out to Indonesia and it's very affordable. So that's a YAY! Hopefully, they did not sold out during Black Friday.

October 2015 Beauty Favorites

I'm a little bit off schedule for a monthly favorites, but it's better late than nothing right? I don't have much stuff to show you this month, since most of it's a repetition from last month favorites. Keeping it short, let's dig in to the stuffs that I have been loving the whole month of October.

A Huge PIXY Haul, Reviews and A Makeup Look

It is a Beauty Sale week in Hypermart and it's an up to 40% off for items in the beauty department. Of course I have to get down right after and pick up some stuff.

My Life So Far: What Happen After I Left My Day Job

Hey guys.. As I am sitting here now, I thought I wanna give you some update on how everything has been doing lately.

My Top 5 + 1 MAC Lipsticks

I love lipstick. And I love MAC. So put together, here's a round up of my top 5 favorites MAC lipstick of all time with one additional mention.

Nivea Lip Butter | Review

Following the rave wave of the Nivea Lip Butter,of course I have to try it. I picked them up in a local store last month and have been using them for quite sometimes now. These lip balms has been gaining their popularity in States and Europe since a couple years ago. There are uncountable reviews and loves over this lip butter.

I Can't Wait For Halloween

Today I have some spare time and I thought why not do some fun Halloween Look. So I end up on Youtube browsing some inspirations and I found this Half-Skull Look created by Chrisspy. If you don't know her, you seriously need to go to Youtube now and subscribe to her. She posted a lot of makeup tutorial, from natural, glam, contouring, costume makeup, etc. 

When I Wake Up.. - My Morning Skincare Routine

My skin history has been up and down. It has not always been this good (It's not perfect but I still love it. There's no perfect skin anyway) and it is a long way to finally reach this skin condition.

September Favorites 2015: Beauty Rediscoveries

I have been in the mood of downsizing my makeup collection lately, so I've been digging out trough my entire collection and trying to used up some stuff which I probably won't be repurchased again. But I end up discovering things I was obsessed to when I first got it.

Fullproof Makeup - Make Up For Ever Step 1 Primer

When Wayne Goss said that there is primer that actually work, it does mean it really work. And thanks to his recommendation on his Youtube channel (you can check the video here), three of the Make Up For Ever Step 1 Primers made it into my collection along with some other stuff from my previous haul.

Cleansing Made Simple with Nivea White Make Up Clear

Sleeping with make up on is a BIG NO NO for the skin. Nobody wants to wake up with a big acne sitting on their face all red and bright like a tomatoes. Not just acne, it actually can lead to other skin problems such as skin aging. And again, nobody wants that, not even my great great grandmother. So bottom line, cleansing your face is super important.

It is an amazing feeling washing away all the make up and dirt from your face. It' is like getting rid of all the exhaustion and hustle bustle from your daily activities. But do you know that different type of make up need a different cleansing method? That's why there is the double cleanse method, where you cleanse your face not just once but twice maybe three times. It took off all kinds of make up and dirt from your face like magic. But well.. an elaborate cleansing routine can take around 10 to 15 minutes of your time, and once in a blue moon you just don't have the time to do that. And when that time comes, these Nivea White Make Up Clear Cleansing Range comes in handy.

A Huge September Beauty Haul: MUFE, MAC, Lavie Lash, The Body Shop, Kiehl's

I love September. Because I'm celebrating my birthday and it means I have a very strong excuse to splurge a little bit more. I made a few purchase on items that I have been looking at, the kind of stuff where I always walked pass the alley and then stop by the counter to swatch but always end up hold myself back and bought other things. So considering that I have been very good at holding myself together and not buying any makeup these couple months, I do myself a little favor and bought them all. So here's a little look on my beauty discoveries this month.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube | Review

Couple months ago, The Body Shop Indonesia had a new addition to the Vitamin E skincare line. It is the Vitamin E Eyes Cube. I am sure some of you has seen it before and has been wondering if it is good or just another gimmicky thing. So by the time I saw it in the counter, it caught my eyes. The packaging is so cute and small, but no no no.. we don't want to waste our money on stuffs just because of the packaging -- even though sometimes I still did. Female problem.. So here I am giving you my personal opinion about The Body Shop Vitamin E Eyes Cube and hopefully this will help you with your purchase.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye | Review

I worked in hospitality for 4 years and as some of you know, working in a hospitality industry can be hard for some people, especially for someone like me who needs a lot of rest and get tired easily. I can worked for long hours but in result of that I will get a baggy eyes and a very bad dark circles around my eyes.

I have tried few different eye creams hoping to get a better and fresher looking eye and sadly, most of it did not resolve my problem enough. I'm not saying that they weren't good but just probably I chose the wrong eye creams to treat my eye problems. So I read reviews around internet on some other eye creams and found out that Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye is possibly a good one for me.

Back to Nature at Nusa Lembongan Island

2 weeks ago I went to Nusa Lembongan Island with some friends. It's an Island that's located just half an hour speed boat ride from Bali. We stayed there for 3 Days and 2 Nights.

I lived in Nusa Dua for 9 months and I've been to so many different parts of Bali. Having that experience, I can say that Lembongan is very different from Bali Island itself. It is still very raw and traditional. It's truly a gem, everything is so beautiful and natural. You will experience living in a village where people are very nice and welcoming. If you are a nature lover like me, be prepared to get mesmerized by the magical experience you will just about to encounter.

LORAC Unzipped Palette | Review

So last month I received my package from Beauty Kit Shop and it was my Lorac Unzipped Palette. I was overly excited because I have been craving it for so long. After more than one month experimenting with the beautiful palette I can say that I love it and it has been my go to palette for work and a night out.

Beauty Book Review - Michelle Phan: Make Up 'Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style and Success - Online and Off'

A few weeks ago I picked up the book in a local bookstore. I’ve been eyeing it for a couple weeks when I decided to buy. Cover was a beautiful blue colored background where it just showing her picture holding lipstick (and IPhone??) Not sure what she was trying to do but still looked gorgeous as always.

The turnaround

It was late September 2014, my birthday holiday trip. I was driving with my friend in Bali on my way to Nusa Dua picking up some other friends who were living nearby. A text was coming, “Cindy.. Duty Manager Position is vacant. If you want, send me your CV as soon as possible.”

Do you have a passion?
