NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Hey everyone!

If we are talking about Matte Lip Cream, the first thing that pops into my mind is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. Nope, this is not a sponsor but it's true that this matte lip cream is phenomenal all around the world although nowadays it's not as hyped as before but still this matte lip cream stays on the special place on people's heart #LOL

Packaging

I think that the packaging of this product is quite unique. I have never seen other lip product with the packaging like this. I mean, if you were looking the packaging from far away, you'll definitely know that this is Nyx matte Lip Cream :p I'm not really fan of the packaging but if it's unique, it's great!

Shades

Well... let's not talk about this because they have a huge like really HUGE choices of shades. I think if all people from different skin tones combined, they will still be able to find their shades on this product. Lol, I mean that all people should be able to find their right shades because their choices are great.

I have tried 2 shades from this product. It might be not much because if I already feel comfortable on something whether it is a shade or product, I will stick to them until I die. Lol kidding I changed my mind like mad girl though.

Anyway, I have shade Zurich and Stockholm. Zurich is kind of pink and brighter shade than Stockholm. Stockholm is warmer and have a nude and neutral color on it. I think most of skin tones will match perfectly on this shade.

Review

Pros:

Not drying, cracking, or hurting your lips

Long-lasting, it does still transfer but it does not fade away quickly

Smooth application. It's really creamy when you first apply it which is why you need to wait until it gets dry and becomes matte on your lips.

Great color selection. No need to say about this. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, you rock!

Nice smell. It has sweet and soft smell on it.

Great price. It's such a good deal and price!!

Cruelty free!

Cons:

Umm... anyone?

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.

Pixy Pure Finish Compact Powder

Hey lovelies!

To be honest, I haven’t found a super super good powder that makes my skin super flawless. But, there are some products that I like because it keeps my face matte without making it dry. I am also beyond happy because that product is from my own country, Indonesia. Not because the sense of nationalism or anything, but if it came from my country, it must be cheaper than brands outside Indonesia. HAHAHA. #EvilLaugh

Today I want to talk about Pixy. Not Pixi. It’s Pixy. The product is made in Indonesia but licensed by Mandom Corporation Japan. To be honest (for the thousand times), I purchased this because the packaging is super cute! The packaging is pink with white lace. I did not expect much because it is an Indonesian brand. Again, I’m not being shit or anything to my own country but products that came from my country always look bad on me. Sometimes it can be unblended, make me dry, make me oily, and many more.

That is why I’m super excited that this powder works for me! :)

This product claims:

-  SPF 25 & PA +++, optimal protection towards UVB and UVA rays

- Matte lucent powder

-  Non comedogenic – clinically tested

-  Natural Whitening Extract & Derivat Vitamin C, as whitening agent

In my opinion, this powder is great for daily use. It does not give me any coverage or make my skin whiter but it makes my skin smoother. The most important thing, it gives me a matte finish look without making it dry.

To sum up, my opinions ♥

Pros:

-  Great everyday powder

- Matte finish look without making it cakey

- Super pretty and princess like packaging

- Super cheap and affordable

Cons:

- It does not smell really good at first but it will disappear

- Light coverage, you have to apply more :)

Until next time!

Maybelline Color Tattoo

Hello lovelies!

Even though I am not really a fan of eye shadow, I really want to try so many beautiful eye shadows on the market. Looking at the beauty guru on the YouTube really made me craving for eye shadow because they are just too wonderful!

There are many types of eye shadow on the market. We have glitter eye shadow which is mostly they are put in the little jar. We also have eye shadow palette like usual. Also, we have cream eye shadow which is put in the little pot. Today, we are gonna talk about Maybelline Color Tattoo!

Many people are talking about this product because of their quality. They came in many colors and mine is in the shade Bad to the Bronze. It is a glittery dark brown which looks really good on the eyelid. Some people said that this eye shadows are dupe for the Mac Paint Pot.

This product claims:

“Our ink technology creates super-saturated color. Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade. Ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearer.”

Ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Ceresin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Caprylyl Methicone, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Alumina, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cyclomethicone, Propylene Carbonate, Candelilla Cera / Candelilla Wax / Cire De Candelilla, Caprylyl Glycol, C30-45 Alkyldimethylsilyl Polypropylsilsesquioxane, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Tin Oxide, Acrylates Copolymer, Paraffin. May Contain: Mica, CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 / Iron Oxides, CI 77007 / Ultramarines, CI 19140 / Yellow 5 Lake, CI 16035 / Red 40 Lake, CI 77000 / Aluminum Powder, CI 77510 / Ferric Ferrocyanide, CI 75470 / Carmine, CI 42090 / Blue 1 Lake, CI 77400 / Bronze Powder, CI 77288 / Chromium Oxide Greens, CI 77289 / Chromium Hydroxide Green, CI 77742 / Manganese Violet, CI 77400 / Copper Powder, CI 77163 / Bismuth Oxychloride, CI 77510 / Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide

For me, this cream eye shadow is really good. The color is really pigmented and strong. It is also creamy so the application is really smooth. I think it will be best for oily eyelid people because cream eye shadow tend to stick more on it. The best application for this cream eye shadow is using your fingers. I have tried others method to apply this eye shadow but nothing beats your own fingers. If you use your fingers, the color will really shows and pigmented. This eye shadow is also long lasting and does not crease on you.

To sum up, my opinions on Maybelline Color Tattoo ♥

Pros:

- Really pigmented

- The color is super pretty

- Long lasting

- Creamy and smooth

Maybe exaggerating but I have not find any negative thing or opinion for this cream eye shadow. You definitely should try it yourself!

LA Girl Pro Conceal

 Hi, lovelies!

Do you hate dark circles? Do you have a really annoying dark circles? Me too! I have ugly dark circles that really annoy me. There was no right concealer for me to hide my dark circles! If I use it too much, it will get cakey under my eyes and it’s not cute, guys. I tried to search the best concealer, so I watch YouTube for a recommendation. There are some good concealers of course…but the price… it’s ironic. A lot of beauty gurus recommend either Urban Decay Naked Concealer, Nars Creamy concealer, or the newest hype concealer in the market is Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. I really want to try it! I mean, I am already in the stage of depression for my dark circles because there wasn’t any concealer that will do great for me. But I have to face the reality that I could not afford it, so I decided to search the drugstore version.

I watched a lot of beauty guru recommend La Girls Pro Conceal. Then, I checked for the price and I was happy because it is really affordable. I watched more review about it and there was no one talks bad about this product. Then, without thinking more about it, I purchased it! There are so many color selections for this concealer and even there is some shades that you can use for contour. Beside contour, they also have color correcting shades like Green, Yellow, and Orange.

I purchased two shades for this product. For the concealer, I choose classic ivory and it matches really well with my skin tone. Then, the other shade is for color correcting, I bought Orange Corrector. For some of you who does not know it, basically Orange corrector is for dark circles (to hide), Green is for blemish like redness on your face, and Yellow is for bruises, hide veins, or brighten under eye. It is also great to evening out an uneven skin tone.

This product claims:

Crease-resistant, opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture. The long-wearing formula camouflages darkness under the eyes, redness and skin imperfections. Provides complete, natural-looking coverage, evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes.

This blendable and buildable formula provides the ultimate, customizable coverage. This must-have concealer includes a soft brush-tip for easy application.

·         Camouflages the appearance of skin imperfections

·         Evens out skin tone

·         Covers dark circles

·         Minimizes fine lines

·         Provides customizable coverage

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Beeswax (Cera Alba) Stearyl Dimethicone, Isododecane, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina), Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Glyceryl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate, Mica, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Propylene Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita Extract, Propylene Carbonate, Sodium Hyaluronate, MAY CONTAIN: Iron Oxides, (CT 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

In my opinion, the concealer is really great. It helps so much to cover my dark circles even though it cannot completely cover it up. The formula is also lightweight so it does not make me look cakey. The staying power is quite long too.

For the orange corrector, I love this corrector! It is great to help camouflage my dark circle. For you who does not understand how to use it, basically, you apply this orange corrector in your under eye then blend it. At first, it will look red and orange under your eyes then you cover it up with the concealer until the red color does not show up anymore. It will help so much to cover your dark circles. At first, this technique was booming because someone (I don’t know who) tried to use red lipstick under her eyes to cover her dark circles and it works. But, using red lipstick might look really red and it couldn’t blend well. So, a lot of products come up with orange corrector which has the same purpose.

I recommend using them both. Apply this orange corrector first, and then you can cover it with the concealer. It will help you to hide the dark circles better than just using the concealer. But note that you don’t want to use it too much because it will look cakey in your face.

Until next time,

Makeover Trivia Eye Shadow

Hello lovelies!

You know the thing that I don’t really interested about in the past? The thing that I always skip every time I watch a makeup tutorial? It’s eye shadow! I don’t really interested in eye shadow before because I find that little thing is deymn hard to do! It’s really complicated and I know, I know that I will end up like a mess.

So, I was not really interested before. But but. But! After watching tutorials from beauty guru like Kathleen Lights, Nikkie Tutorial, Tati, and so on, I find that hmmm maybe eye shadow is worth to try!

Today I would like to talk about the first eye shadow palette that I bought! This was highly recommended by my friend. She said that it is soooo good and easy to wear. That is a brand from Indonesia! Yes, we are talking about Indonesian product again today! It is Makeover Trivia Eye Shadow.

This product claims:

·         Oil absorber

·         High performance particle powder: full coated particle

·         Quality spreading

·         Semi waterproof

·         Soft and silky

·         Long lasting

Ingredients:

Mica, Methicone, Glyceryl Trioctanoate, Dimethinocol Stearate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Diisostearyl Malate, Zinc Myristate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Dimethicone, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Zinc Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Dimethicone  / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica, Squalane, Nylon – 12 , Aluminium Stratch Octenylsuccinate, Isopropyl Titanum Triisostearate, Talc, Quaternium – 15, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethiconol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite.

First of all, look at the colors! It’s really a nice neutral everyday color. For beginner, you have to try this eye shadow palette because it’s just everything you need! This eye shadow is also super long lasting! I wore this on an event from the early morning until night and the eye shadow is still on! Also, you know what else? The pigmentation is crazy. It is really creamy and the color shows really good. You know usually a cheap eye shadow tend to be dry and have lots of fallout and the color is not strong at all. But this eye shadow is really great. Honestly I feel so proud that Indonesian brand can come up with a product this good. I think it’s better for you to see it yourself how the crazy pigmentation is!

Application:

We have 3 beautiful colors here and those are enough just for your everyday wear. For me, I usually use the light yellowish-brown color for my base. Usually when I want to have a no makeup – makeup look, I only use that color for my eye and it will clean your eyes and make it look softer and brighter.

Then, if you want to define my eyes, I use the next shade, the brown color for my outer. I use that to shape my eyes. But you can use this on your lid too to make your eyes pop. But this brown is dark enough for me to apply it on my outer.

The last is this dark brown. I don’t really use this dark brown because for me this is really dark and it does not look good on me if I use this in my outer. But if you like it, of course this is a really great color to define your eyes / to put it in the outer corner of your eyes.

Then, with a blending eye shadow brush, just blend it all!

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. 

Details:

Name   : Wardah Eye Shadow N Series

Type    : Eye Shadow

Size     : 4,2 g

Rate     : 8/10

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!

Xoxo,

Jess.
