FOTD | Pink and Purple

after a week of settling down at new place.. I play with my make up again.. :)



I used everyday mineral foundation in medium (intensive finish), blush (i dont know where i got it from) but it looks like dollymix by MAC. Loreal Voluminous mascara. and Revlon Colorstay eyeliner.

i used the eyeshadow quad from ELF (eyeslipsface.com) in "silver lining". Btw, you probably knew that almost everything from the website is $1.. some of them are $3 or $5.. its super cheap!!

Here's the close up of the eye make up.. haha so messy! im too lazy to correct the mascara that is on my lid :P but from far u cant really see, it gave people an illusion of thicker lashes anyway

MAC Haul | MAGIC, MIRTH and MISCHIEF COLLECTION

This is what I got from the collection, plus some lipsticks that i want to try :)

URBAN DECAY | BOOK OF SHADOW VOL. II

- little update: Mario Badescu



Hohoho I got this for my going-away-present from my friends :) I havent really play with it because I have to put it in my suitcase right away (im in the process of packing). Packing has not been productive tho' :(

Although i never expect to get gift(s), but im happy to get this palette because there are a lot of people who have been raving about this product. Cant wait till I settle down in my new house!!

Oh! and I received an email from Mario Badescu to receive some samples that might be suitable for my skin. I cant wait to get those too! hohoho im looking forward to try out Mario Badescu skincare line, because if its suitable for my skin I would totally change my skincare routine. this is so much cheaper than Clarins and even Keihl's.

MARIO BADESCU

after watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FuAYvEohsk, i am dying to try the product! haha so ofcourse, i ordered it today thru phone at nordstrom and asked my sis to pick up the product for me.

so i did get the drying lotion (https://www.mariobadescu.com/drying-lotion) and i get one of their eyecream (https://www.mariobadescu.com/ceramide-eye-gel). im so excited to try it!

However, i was not happy with the description that nordstrom gave! here's the comparison from the two websites:

CERAMIDE EYE GEL
from mario badescu website:
Improve the delicate eye skin’s hydration levels with our greaseless, lightweight eye gel formulated with softening Ceramides and nourishing Herbal Extracts. Diminishes puffiness and tired eyes. Store in the fridge for a soothing morning eye treatment.
INGREDIENTS: Ceramides (and) Cholesterol,Herbal Extract,Water,Glycerin,Silicone,Propylene Glycol,Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Methylparaben (and) Propylparaben,Triethanolamine
from nordstrom website:
Containing all natural ceramides and alpha hydroxy acid, this lightweight eye gel will hydrate, moisturize and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Store in the refrigerator for a cooling eye treatment to reduce puffiness. Gently pat small amount under and around outer corners of eyes, day or night.

of course I will trust mariobadescu.com more than nordstrom!! and the purpose of buying this eyecream is because i need something that will reduce fine lines around my eyes area. but i definitely bought the wrong product. haha its always good to have this though, in case i wake up with a puffiness/dark circle.

but when i settled down in Carlsbad, i will purchase this: CERAMIDE HERBAL EYE CREAM
(https://www.mariobadescu.com/ceramide-herbal-eye-cream)
This easily absorbed, non-greasy eye cream is made with a blend of Vegetable, Carnation and antioxidant Rose Hips Oil. Reduces the look of dry, tired eyes and helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles to keep the delicate eye area looking moist and youthful. :D :D

PURPLE EYE!!!

We love our boyfriends!!

WE LOVE OUR BOYFRIENDS !!



introducing my sisters!!

TODAYS UNPLANNED HAUL!

I have been invited to come to do make over at MAC counter at Nordstrom today. However, when I got there the MA said that MAC is so behind, thus they have to postpone the make up session for me. I cannot do that because I thought my sayang will be done with work early (he always does come earlier every Friday). So I decided to just cancel the appointment and just pre-order for the upcoming MAC collection.

Then, I walked around Nordstrom, its pretty busy because they have this beauty event going on. I passed by Kiehl's counter to check out the Acai skincare line. Then, the SA approached me and she was not excited about the product. So, I am like "oh may be I should have just tried it some other time". Then, she over me this hand wax massage, and i ended up doing it just because i have nothing to do and i dont want my trip to be such a waste. While she's doing the hand thingy, I looked around and I saw this Acai skincare set, and from then on i cant take my eyes off those red box that is filled with red bottles and some extra gifts. Long story short I ended up buying them! It turned out to be $140++ (without tax), but whatever I really want to try this anyway and I am actually bored with my skincare routine.

After that, I walked further down, and shi seido representative is trying to sell their skin product to me. As my last trip to shi seido counter had changed my life with their mascara base, I cant pass this offer. But the MA is not very sincere doing my make up, and i am not impressed by her work. So I ended up by just buying one lipgloss (rose toffee). Its pretty! but its just a lipgloss. Then I went home! because I literally spent $300 today at nordstrom!

ooohhh!! My sister bought me some MAC Mineralized blushes from the grand duos collection at the CCO! Hohohoh Im super happy with the discounted product! Thanks to ceyun!

CALIFORNIA TRIP

In a week, I will be moving to Carlsbad, California. Its a very small city in between Los Angeles and San Diego. Since I cannot find a job (or I can say that I am lazy and discourage), I do not have a permit to stay in the United States, unless I go back to school. Dont get me wrong, I dont go back to school again just to stay in the US, my parents keep pushing me to go to a diamond school. They have been wanting me to go to a diamond school after I have completed my Associate Degree (3 years ago). Therefore, I am going to Carlsbad to pursue my future at Gemology Institute of America.

In the beginning of the week, I feel extremely sad, mainly because I have to left my sayang here. not only that I am sad, I am very scared if there's going to be something between us. I know I have to trust and have faith in him, but everybody knows that long distance relationship is not easy, but in the mean time I am feeling stronger.

Anyway, I am very excited about our one week trip before we will be apart! All things have been planned out roughly. I think the most exciting thing is going to be on the 20th of October! It is my 2nd anniversary with my sayang and it is going to be a day when we are going to disney land!! But I am really looking forward to it because it is actually my first trip with my sayang :)

However, I have tons of back ups for my Clarins! Everytime my mom come to visit me in the US, she bought a whole new sets because in Asia is so much cheaper! Haizzz lesson of the day, I should have finish one thing before buying more product! :P but once I finished all the clarins I will be purchasing these babies! or at least before I left the US for good!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks

This new lipstick from Maybelline Cosmetics are SUPER! I love it. I got it at rite aid. Regularly it is $7.19 but this week all maybelline cosmetics are buy one get one free. But this is actually more pricey than what I have seen in other drugstores. I think Target sells it for $5++ and Walgreen sells it for $6++ each. Since I got it for BOGO free so its okay :). In addition, rite aid often has printable coupon promotion ($5 off $25 purchase).

This is what the casing looks like :) so pretty!! There are 4 different basic shade; purple, neutral, pink, and red. I got it in Mauve Me (purple), Caramel Kiss (neutral), Pink Please (pink), and Peachy Scene (Red).



Here's the swatches:



I really had a hard time at rite aid deciding on which 4 lipstick I want to get!! Because there are TONS of selection, and there are a lot of pretty colors. The colors can be very wearable, but there are some that are FUN too!! Go check these baby out.

ps: always wait till when they have BOGO free. hohoho

Urban Decay | Flipside Eyeshadow Dupes

These are some of the potential dupes for flipside eyeshadow by urban decay:

Flipside eyeshadow is very beautiful, it is bluish green (turquoise) kinda color.

(from left to right: UD Flipside, Ulta Calypso, Ben Nye Pigment Turquoise, BE Azure)

Picture with Flash:


Picture without flash:


I think these 3 e/s are good dupes for the UD Flipside. Of course, dupes will not be the same as the original because eyeshadow are like human :) each of them are unique in their own ways.

The differences:
Ulta Calypso - I think this eyeshadow has more blue as compared to flipside, although the finish is almost the same. Both has a nice sheen finished.
Ben Nye Pigment Turquoise - The color of the eyeshadow is very close!! but this pigment has more shimmer as compared to flipside.
Bare Essenctual Azure - This eyeshadow is very similar to Ben Nye Pigment in Turquoise. Color is very close match, but it has a lot more shimmer. This can be seen from the picture with flash, both Ben Nye and BE reflect more light than the other two eye shadows.

ps: These pictures are taken by my Blackberry that is why the quality is not the best.

Urban Decay | Sustainable Shadow Box

I bought this when Ulta is having a sale for this palette: FREE Urban Decay Primer Potion (FULL size)

Below is the picture of both blushes side by side. On the left is Love Rock and the right one is Daft Pink.


Here's the swatches of both the blushes: Left-Love Rock, Right-Daft Pink

5 greatest things

i dont even know why should i even want to post an entry to this blog. but i think the more bad things that i came across today, the more i felt God is testing me now. Okay so firstly i cant sleep last night, so i woke up with a headache!! Secondly, when i called my boyfriend in the afternoon, he sounded mad at me. I kinda know why he did this but i just dont want to jump into a conclusion. Lastly, I got into a car accident again! This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks.

I learnt a lot of church, other people testimonies, and even random people; no matter what happen, give thanks. I am going to try to put together what are the greatest things that I have received today.

1. I have been not wanting to go to Fenty's Bday Party since forever. Dont get me wrong, its not that i dont like her, its simply because i dont really like club/party/nightlife. Well, i have planned not to go to the party, but my friend who is visiting said that she wants to go to a club here. So by killing 2 birds with one stone, i think i should have just go to the party by bringing novita along. With the accident happening, I have a reason not to come :)

2. I am so greatful that everybody is safe during the accident, and as theres not police, I dont get a ticket at a moment.

3. My boyfriend who was mad at me suddenly say sorry and i feel so good. because i think one of the reason i cant sleep last night is because i feel that he kinda mad at me yesterday.

4. Its feel soooooo loooooong that i never really have a quality time with my dearest friend cory. At last, we slowly building the bond again :)

5. I think I will have a good sleep tonight because im so tired and everything that going thru my mind (fentys bday, going out with novi, and my boyfriend) is already over.

Five Greatest Things.

Okay after watching the oprah show i have been inspired to write at least five greatest things everyday! She said this had changed the way she sees the world. positively. I have been inspired by her in a lot of ways. but its just impossible for me to do everything at a same time. So im gonna start with this one.

1) I am so greatful that I can meet my childhood friend in Seattle, Novita. It's her first time in Seattle.
2) When my elder sis and I were buying the ticket back to Indonesia, and I was sitting in the car by myself. There's this two young men that keep looking at me trying to do something. Im scared to death. Im so greatful that they dont do anything to me.
3) I finally can do SEM by myself. Although I have been helped in the beginning but this is my very first time :) No undergrad has been trained to use the SEM.
4) I am greatful that I will have a day off tomorrow. Its been a long day today. Just a perfect time to take a break!
5) Im so greatful to have so many friends, my entire weekend have been filled with a lot of arrangements!

silver smokey eyes + chanel foundation sample.

okay so lately i have found my love AGAIN. I love chanel so much. the make up, the purse, the clothing, jewellery, everything. but its too expensive that i cant even afford any of it except for the cosmetics :)

a few weeks ago stupid chanel sales assistance in northgate mall push me to buy their newest foundation, lift lumiere. knowing the name, "lift", makes me feel uncomfortable because it usually associated with old women. but somehow i did purchased it. she put the foundation all over my face too. she allowed me to exchange my compact powder too. how nice isnt it?

the next morning when i look at myself in the mirror, im quite surprise to see some redness and bump in my skin. i thought to myself: may be this is because of the period that im going to get soon. so i dont really care too much.

then in the afternoon, we went for a walk at downtown and we went to nordstrom. greedy me asked the chanel sales assistant to give me sample of the lift lumiere so i have a little bit more to use. (btw, lift lumiere so expensive like $70) She looked at me funny and said that my skin doesnt look that old. im so surprised. instead she gave me another sample, pro lumiere. im so shocked to hear that! and i suddenly realized that those foundation is causing the pimples on my face (its not just one pimple ok, there's like 5 altogether). im so mad then we went home then continue to alderwood mall. i brought my lift lumiere for a return. the lady was so nice to me she gave me two foundation sample: mat lumiere and teint innocence.

okok i used both foundation on my face. left: teint innocence and right: mat lumiere. i love both but im not going to buy both because each is around $50. so im debating which one to get. but i think im going to go with the mat lumiere because first of the packaging it come with a pump. then higher spf. and one of my favourite guru in youtube always use that. its $7 more but i will be happy with that :)

oh yah! im going to purchase the grand duo by mac. i have decided which one to get: love rock and moon river. the name is so sweet. im so excited. cant wait till the 19th. that's when we are going to bellevue square nordstrom because my sister has a facial appointment with clarins. so happy :)

Excited for next week !!

So, supposedly, my new blackberry will arrive tomorrow! IM SO EXCITED!! since all the rest of the indos already has!! :):) It is supposed to be here by last week thurs/friday but it was on backorder. stupid tmobile. i got the pearl 8900, i wanted a bold actually but since we are already in t mobile plan *sigh*. but im still so happy and excited :)

Then, my sis and bro came back this morning from vacation to texas. and my sis bought me mac pigment in pink pearl *scream* omg omg omg. such a pretty pink/purple color :) i saw it in my portland trip, i didnt buy because i already had 3 pigments and a paintpot in my hand the other day. hahahaha. at least i wont feel as guilty if i buy it at different time :P

Supposedly, my mac order arrive too on Tuesday! *dancing* and guess what, i ordered pigments 5 of them. i know i m too obsessed :( i really have to cut on buying make up and use my allowance wisely :( anyway! i purchased the pigments in fushia, gold mode, vanilla, rose, and cornflower. we'll see how it look. but i am normally fall in love with all the pigments!

anyway. OMG! time flies so fast. its like christmas yesterday, but its the first day of march already? it felt like the fall quarter just ended, and now its the beginning of spring quarter? It felt that i just start working in lab, but 1 months had passed by. why time have to keep running? why is there only 24 hours a day? why a minute has to be 60 seconds and not 70 seconds?

we human never satisfied for the things that is given for us, we take things for granted, and we can only appriciate it when its gone :(

ps: Happy Birthday my childhood friend, Nori!

Valentine's Day

Im so excited when I woke up this morning; seeing my sayang is the best thing that can happen in my life :) [note: it is not easy for me to see him! although we only live 45 mins away from each other, we dont see each other so often - once/twice a week].

Anyway, my sayang is such a sweetheart. He got me a LOT of mini roses :) i dont know what kind of species they are but they are so beautiful; soft pinks. We do not really have any plan today but he just make my day! We went to my favourite bakery - Hiroki for the green tea tiramisu. We also went to watch a movie - Confession of a Shopaholic. I have been craving for the green tea tiramisu (as always) and dying to watch that movie because both of my sisters are so crazy about the book/novel. For the record, my younger sis made her boyfriend "act" for one of the scene.

Well, I always dream to have a romantic dinner on a special day like today, but I dont think I am that kind of person. I am very ordinary girl - simple thing makes me happy. Those romantic stuff will make me feel akward. Plus. I am very picky with food. Hahaha

I just want to write this down so that I will remember this day. How sweet my sayang is. and how thankful I am to have such a lovely sayang. I love u always!

Oh!! We found a new cupcake place somewhere in Wallingford. I bought 2 cupcakes: red velvet and vanilla :). I tried the red velvet and I think its not as good as sprinkle cupcake but for the price that we paid I am satisfied; its only $2.99. I will try the vanilla cupcake tomorrow :)

Happy 23rd Birthday, Sayang !!

Here's a picture of him and me and cupcakes, present and the card. Im so touched that he came to my house :) My sayang is always the best sayang.

Dear Sayang,

Happy Birthday to u. I hope you will have a prosporous life ahead and I want to be with u forever !! hahaha *hugs*

Ur Sayang

Weekend - Trip to Portland

It sounds very stupid, but I went to Portland twice this weekend (on friday and yesterday). On Friday, my sayang wanted to go to a Sportsman's Show. He said that it is the biggest sportsman show in the northwest area. Sportsman show is a show, where you can buy stuffs, get free stuffs, look whats out there, get a tour, and others; but it is all about outdoor activity like fishing, hunting, camping, etc.

And on Saturday I went to Portland with my brother, sister and roomate. Well nothing really special because I am not expecting anything from both trips. I did not know what to shop, plus i have spent so much money!!! argh!! I just bought a rock and republic jeans for a $100 and some make up stuffs. Me and my friends went shopping on Thursday till the mall close!!

So this weekend is the most exhausting weekend for me :(. Oh yeah! I just read in Glamour magazine that if we dont get enough sleep, there's a higher chance for us getting fatter!!
