Wardah Exclusive Matte Lip Cream

Hey everyone!

We are back at reviewing more about Indonesian product! I think nowadays professions such as youtuber and vloggers are getting more popular here, people are starting to start their channel on YouTube. Most of the girls here are opening their channel for makeup which makes markets for the makeup here are getting more and more popular. I think that the quality of makeup in Indonesia has improved. I'm not saying that Indonesian products are bad, they are just not as good as famous makeup brand in the world. But I feel that right now, they are getting better and can be as good as other famous makeup brands too. I think that people outside Indonesia should know about Indonesian makeup product too because they are getting so much better!

Packaging

This matte lip cream from Wardah is phenomenal right now in Indonesia. Can we talk about the packaging first? It looks really expensive and awesome. Well, it's really similar to Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip, they might inspired from or it or whatever but it's good anyway. However, the applicator is a bit different though. They are both are doe foot applicator but the Wardah one is not as bent as the Colourpop one. But they are both applied nicely on the lips.

Shades

I bought this on the first launch of this product. There were no much shades to pick because they only released 6 shades but actually only 3 shades available on the market. I don't know, it's weird. I only bought 1 because I don't like the other 2 shades which I don't know the name too... I guess it was 01 Red-dicted, 02 Fuschionately, and 05 Speachless. I bought the number 05 because it was the most attractive shades for me and which also has a cute name. It has the peachy pink color and that is why the named it S-peach-less. I don't know why but it was a genius one in my opinion lol I'm so weird.

Unfortunately, I don't like this color because it was too bright on my liking. But then I tried to mix it with Nyx Lip Cream on the shade Stockholm and it works beautifully! It changed a bit of its texture too which surprisingly makes it even better.

Review

Well, let's get into the point on what I think about this product~

Pros:

Pretty and high class packaging

The colors are pretty (after they launch more shades)

It dries matte (as what they claim to be)

Cons:

Cracking. I know that maybe 90% liquid lip will give this kind of effect especially if you have a dry lips. But I think that it gives a very dry feeling that makes my lip cracked and the color becomes ugly too. For a tip if you really want to use this, make sure to moisturize your lips first before put it.

Color does not blend well. It needs LOTS of layer to get a good color pay off. The color does not blend well in my opinion.

The smell it's too chemical. If you are sensitive to a smell, please keep this in mind. The smell does not stay though, but when you put it you will smell a strong chemical scent on your lips.

Conclusion

Sadly to say, this Matte Lip Cream is not my favorite. They are not a bad product though, but I just prefer other liquid lip to go with because it's too dry on my lips and does not have a good staying power too. It transfers and not long-lasting on me. But every product is different on every people and based on review that I read and heard, this lip product suits them well and there are lots of positive reviews about it. So, don't hesitate to try!

Until next time.

Wardah Eyeshadow N Series

Hello everyone!

Today I would like to review an Indonesian makeup product. Right, I am Indonesian! I rarely buy and review about Indonesian makeup product because most of the time I do not like them. It’s not that I think that brand outside Indonesia or maybe famous brand are better, it’s just I haven’t found a makeup brand from Indonesia that is good enough in my opinion.

But nowadays makeup game is going strong in the market. A lot of products are trying to give their best to satisfy the customer. I think those Indonesian brands nowadays are already better and good quality! Today, I would like to review one of the Indonesian’s makeup brands, Wardah.

This product claims:

This 3 in 1 eye shadow is ready to beautify your eyelids with particle microcoated formula for long-lasting results.

Giving the color to the eyes to give accent to your makeup. Available in 14 variant which is a blend of attractive colors for everyday look or party.

The texture is very smooth and easy to blend. For best results use a base eye shadow before the application.

Ingredients:

Mica, Triethylhexanoin, Talc, Zinc Myristate, Diisostearyl Malate, Dimetichone, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Zinc Stearate, Hydrogen Dimeticone, Squalane, Dimethiconol Stearate, Nylon – 12, PTFE, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Quaternium – 15, Isopropyl Myristate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Palmitic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Methicone, Aluminium Hydroxide, Tin Oxide, Silica.

On one fine evening, I was just sitting and watching makeup videos on YouTube then one of Indonesian youtuber reviewed this product. At first, the only reason I buy this is because I was really interested in the highlighting color of this eye shadow. I wanted to buy highlighter at that time but I don’t have enough money to buy a “real” highlighter or Highlighter like Mary Lou, or Becca, or Anastasia Beverly Hills, or Colourpop, etc. So, I was really interested when she showed me that one of the colors in the Wardah’s eye shadow can be used as Highlighter.

Also, it was not this eye shadow that she showed in the video. I have no idea where to buy that eye shadow and I have no idea the name of the eye shadow. I just remembered that the color was light brown, brown, and white shimmery shadow that she used as Highlighter.

When I came to the store, the seller told me that there was no eye shadow like what I described. So, I was disappointed because I wanted Highlighter so much! Then, I looked around to the other eye shadow in the display and this eye shadow caught my attention because of the white shimmer shadow.

Then I thought that this could be used as Highlighter so I bought this eye shadow. Then, I was really impressed because it works! When you first applied it, it might look white a bit like glitter but when you blend it, it will give you glow as a Highlight. I mostly use this as the highlighter on my nose. I tried to use it in my cheeks but it does not look so good. So, I decided to use this on nose instead.

To be honest, I never wear other color from this palette and I never use this palette for my eye shadow. But when I swatches it on my hand, I can say that this eye shadow is pretty pigmented. The blue color may not look as intense as on the palette but the color still showing strongly.

Price    : IDR 46.000 / I don’t think they can ship to outside Indonesia. Sorry!

In my opinion, this eye shadow might great for beginners or students who do not have much money to buy makeup; this can be a good starter. Also, because highlighter as so demynn expensive, you can use the shimmer one as your highlighter!

What is your favorite Eye Shadow from Indonesian’s Makeup brand? Please let me know!

Until next time!
