Misako Aoki Casual Lolita Makeup

Good day, everyone!

Kawaii Pateen has released their latest collaboration with Misako Aoki recently. (^_^)
This time, Misako-chan shared another version of tutorial casual Lolita makeup tutorial. This video is so special! And I love that this time Misako-chan put on some coral pink lips and blush, my favorite pink for makeup! đŸ’„

Misako-chan is so cute as always. đŸ’“
You can check out the video below! (^_^)



Misako Aoki is her middle 30s, she is 35 years old now if I'm not mistaken. But she is still as cute as when I found out about her about 8 years ago. As a Lolita model, of course, she has to take care of her self very well. She is a nurse too. To stay cute and young, I think it's because someone lives their life happily, enjoying things they love, also follow their dreams and passion. When we are happy inside, it will radiate to the outside. Of course, taking care of ourselves is important as well. (^-^)

One day, when I'm on my 30s and become a psychologist, I want to be as cute as Misako-san. đŸ’“

Have a great day!

Etude House 2018 Holiday Collection: Tiny Twinkle Mini Matte Chic Lip Lacquer Ornament ☆

Hello everyone!

The jolly season is here! A lot of makeup brands release their holiday collections and Etude House is one of the most anticipated brands to announce their limited line at the end of 2018. This year, Etude House released The Tiny Twinkle Ornament Collection. With Red Velvet's Yeri as the model, this collection vibes a beautiful, sparkling moment! ☆


As a lippie lover, I decide to give the Mini Matte Chic Lip Lacquer Ornament a try! It's a hype product of Etude House and this holiday, it came with 3 mini size-colors with a cute Tiny Twinkle ornament as the case. Very cute ❣


I love the colors too! Irene Red is one of their best seller-color, the color that Red Velvet's Irene wears in the commercial. Irene Red is a great point color! You can pair it with the Icing Cream Pink (Yeri wears it as the base color and Irene Red as point color) or Thank You Berry Brown as well. ❣
Thank You Berry Brown is a sophisticated berry brown (as the name, a brown with a hint of berry color on my lips). But when I wear it thinly or making gradient lips, it looks like a soft pinky brown.
While the limited edition Icing Cream Pink is a pretty soft pink that suitable for all skintones, I think. ♡ This color is so cute when being worn full lips, thinly, or gradient lips.



They dry up into the matte finish quickly, and the texture is creamy and easy to blend. The coverage and pigmentation are great! The applicator itself can take the right amount of product to cover the lips. ❣



My favorite is PK 005 Icing Cream Pink❣


This lip lacquer is waterproof, transfer-proof, and smudge-proof. The colors stay put on nicely after meals. After eating some heavier meals, the color fades on the center of my lips. But, you can still see the color there! This lip lacquer feels comfortable after hours, it doesn't dry out my lips. But after a few hours, my lip textures become noticeable. Maybe it's because of my low level of hydration too (I must admit xD), and I didn't apply any lip balm before wearing it. Another time when I increase my consumption of water, the lip lacquer appears better even after a few hours of application. And yes, I apply lip balm too. So, those two things are taking effect, I guess!

So, here is the conclusion of my review on Tiny Twinkle Mini Chic Matte Lip Lacquer Ornament:

☆ Pro's:
☆ The 3 colors are pretty and wearable for the daily and special event.
☆ Longlasting.
☆ Comfortable to wear.
☆ Transfer-proof, waterproof, and smudge-proof
☆ It consists of 2 gr for each product, which is a fun size of 3 colors.
☆ The packaging is cute.

  • Con's:
  • Although it doesn't seep into my lip lines or dry patches, the texture of my lips become noticeable after a few hours of wearing. It  may depend on my level of hydration, so I suggest you apply lip balm first for a longer-smooth result. And take care of your hydration, please drink enough water. (^^)

I order these babies from Pasar Korea (I live in Indonesia, I'm not sure if they handle the international shipping to other countries, but you can contact them ❣). The owner lives in Busan and sometimes they have an Instagram live when they go to the stores shopping the products, so yes, they send you the original product! They send you free giveaway too. ❣



Anyway, the holiday season is the perfect time to be happy and spread happiness to the people around you. I love the idea of giving and spreading happiness. (^_^) Well, although you don't have to wait until Christmas or holiday season to do it ❣ But who doesn't love the atmosphere of year-end? (^_^)

It means that the new better opportunities arrive, your dreams are coming. Be grateful for our life. ❣

And have a great day. ❤

Giordani Gold Iconic Lip Elixir SPF 15 ♡ Coral Hibiscus & Poppy Pink

Semangat pagi!

Today post is in Bahasa Indonesia. (^_^)


Udah nyobain lipstick baru dari premium makeup line Oriflame, yaitu Giordani Gold? Atau masih cari-cari review sambil mempertimbangkan bakal order atau not yet? Well, setelah baca review ini kalian bisa memutuskan apakah lipstick ini worthy atau nggak (^_^). Keep on reading! ❣


Setelah resmi hadir di katalog Desember 2018, akhirnya Giordani Gold Iconic Lip Elixir SPF 15 yang saya order datang juga. Ini adalah produk yang saya tunggu-tunggu launching-nya di Indonesia setelah melihat foto Kaka Niek dan Kak Nanta, founder M3Network berfoto di satu-satunya toko Oriflame di dunia yang berdiri megah di Stockholm, Swedia. Di sana, Kak Niek membagikan foto produk-produk yang belum rilis di Indonesia, dan salah satunya adalah lip elixir ini. Makanya saya sangat antusias untuk mencobanya. (^_^)




Kemasan

Pertama-tama, mari kita bahas kemasannya. Sesuai dengan konsep dan citra dari Giordani Gold, kemasan dari Giordani Gold Iconic Lip Elixir SPF 15 ini terlihat mewah. Sepertinya ini adalah liquid lip matte dengan kemasan paling elegan yang saya miliki. Box-nya berwarna hitam dan emas khas Giordani Gold, adapun kemasan bagian dalam sebagaimana terlihat pada gambar. Tube-nya berwarna hitam glossy dengan aksen gradasi sesuai warna produk pada bagian bawah. Aplikatornya berbentuk miring, cukup presisi untuk mengaplikasikan produk ke seluruh bibir, termasuk di bagian sudut bibir. Aplikator seperti ini juga mendukung aplikasi secara full lips maupun gradient lips.

Tekstur
Teksturnya seperti minyak. Ketika baru diaplikasikan langsung terasa bahwa lipstick ini lembap di bibir. And yes, it is! Lip elixir ini terasa lembap karena ada kandungan Argan Oil-nya. Anehnya, formulanya juga terasa ringan, nyaris seperti nggak pakai apapun di bibir. Nggak ada rasa lengket ataupun sensasi "ketarik" di bibir seperti kebanyakan liquid matte lipstick atau lipcream. Nyaman pokoknya! Selain itu, produk ini negeset-nya cukup cepat, nggak perlu menunggu lama sampai hasil akhir matte-nya muncul. Berita bagusnya, selain ngeset cepat, lip elixir ini juga mudah diratakan. Di katalog sendiri tertulis bahwa produk ini cukup diaplikasikan sekali saja, dan saya mematuhinya. xD
Memang sih, lip elixir ini mampu meng-cover seluruh bibir dalam sekali swipe, jadi nggak perlu ambil produknya dua kali. Tinggal diratain aja. Saya belum mencoba buat bereksperimen, sih, tentang apa yang terjadi kalau kita aplikasikan produknya lebih dari sekali. Apakah lip elixir ini akan menggumpal di bibir? Apakah teksturnya jadi pecah? Well, mungkin saya akan melakukan uji coba setelah bikin review ini, cuma buat memuaskan keingintahuan aja. :D

Apa Sih Elixir Itu?

Sebagian dari kita mungkin masih merasa asing dengan istilah elixir atau elixir skincare. Nah, produk yang akan kita bahas kali ini adalah lip elixir. Tapi apa, sih, sebenarnya elixir itu? Dilansir dari BeautynesiaBasically,  elixir adalah ramuan atau "potion" yang mengandung berbagai jenis minyak. Elixir biasanya juga mengandung infusi herbal, ekstrak tumbuhan, dan berbagai bahan lain yang berguna untuk kulit, seperti ceramide dan hyaluronic acid. Selain menghidrasi kulit, elixir juga dapat mengatasi masalah dan menutrisi kulit dan membuatnya lebih cerah, bersih, dan lembap.

Pilihan Warna, Pigmentasi, dan Ketahanan

Lip elixir ini punya 8 pilihan warna yang cantik; terdiri dari 1 warna nude, 5 warna cerah, dan 2 warna bold. Kira-kira seperti ini: (^-^)





Saya sendiri punya 2 shade ini:


Poppy Pink (33802): medium bright pink yang cocok buat hangout ataupun acara formal. ♡





Coral Hibiscus (33801): pink orange yang langsung bikin wajah kelihatan segar. ♡





Bicara soal pigmentasi, lip elixir ini tergolong pigmented dan full coverage, tidak ada kecenderungan patchy. Formula yang transferproof membuat produk ini lebih tahan lama. Dipakai buat makan roti sobek dan roti kismis juga masih cantik warnanya. (^_^) Ketika saya uji coba dengan makan lontong opor, lapisan warnanya sedikit hilang dan agak transfer ke gelas karena terkena minyak dari makanan. Berita bagusnya, lip elixir ini meninggalkan stain di bibir! Jadi walaupun warnanya jadi agak pudar setelah kena makanan berminyak (artinya tidak hilang/memudar sepenuhnya), warnanya masih terlihat cerah. Saya sendiri suka dengan tipe produk seperti ini, karena semakin lama warnanya akan semakin menyatu di bibir, membuatnya terlihat lebih natural, bahkan ketika memakai warna-warna bold. Gambar di atas adalah swatch tangan dan full lips, tapi kayaknya lip elixir ini juga bagus dijadikan gradient lips. Saya akan update setelah mencobanya! (^^)



Update: 33801 Coral Hibiscus
in gradient lips ♡

Overall Review
Giordani Gold Iconic Lip Elixir SPF 15 ini recommended! Hal-hal yang membuat lip elixir ini layak beli adalah sebagai berikut:
(+) memiliki ingredients yang merawat bibir, salah satunya adalah Argan Oil yang membuat produk ini sangat nyaman dipakai.
(+) dilengkapi dengan SPF 15. It's a real deal!
(+) pilihan warnanya cerah dan cantik, bikin wajah kelihatan segar. Kalau kalian pecinta warna nude dan memiliki kompleksi warna kulit cenderung dingin atau cool undertone, lip elixir ini punya varian warna Praline Nude yang akan terlihat cantik. (^_^)
(+) Pigmentasi dan coverage-nya bagus, smooth, dan nggak patchy.
(+) Tahan lama, transferproof, dan nge-stain di bibir.

Meskipun bukan benar-benar sisi minus dari lip elixir ini, beberapa hal berikut bisa jadi pertimbangan kalian:

(-) Pilihan warna nude-nya masih terbatas, hanya satu warna, dan kurang cocok di warna kulit warm undertone atau cenderung hangat. Soalnya dari foto swatches yang saya lihat, warna Praline Nude ini banyak unsur spektrum putihnya. Warna kulit saya sendiri sebenarnya neutral undertone, dan saya nggak yakin apakah warna ini bakal terlihat bagus di saya atau nggak (padahal sebenarnya pengin juga order warna ini, huhu "). Tapiii balik lagi, kalau kalian suka dan merasa cocok dengan warna ini, apapun undertone kalian, just go for it! Cusss order! :D

(-) Harga non-diskon alias harga aslinya mungkin agak mahal bagi sebagian orang. Meskipun demikian, salah seorang senior (upline) saya mereview bahwa kualitas lip elixir ini sebanding dengan Kylie yang harganya IDR 500 ribuan. Wow! Kalau teman-teman ingin mendapatkan lip elixir ini dengan harga yang lebih murah, belilah pada saat diskon atau promo. Kalian juga bisa menjadi konsultan Oriflame untuk mendapatkan harga lebih murah dari harga diskon katalog. Nah, mumpung bulan ini (Desember 2018) sedang promo dengan harga perkenalan, saya rekomendasikan kalian untuk segera mencobanya! (^-^)

(-) Jenis makanan dan cara kita makan juga berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan produk ini di bibir kita. Well, seumur-umur kenal makeup, saya sendiri belum pernah benar-benar menemukan lip product yang nggak geser sama sekali ketika bersentuhan dengan makanan berminyak.


(-) Kondisi bibir tetap berpengaruh pada performa keseluruhan yaa guys! ^^ Lip elixir ini nggak mengaksentuasi dry patches atau garus-garis bibir, tapi tetap bakal terlihat lebih bagus kalau bibir kita dalam keadaan lembut, sehat, dan well-exfoliated. (^^)



Sekian review dari Sakina tentang Giordani Gold Iconic Lip Elixir SPF 15 ini. Semoga bermanfaat! (^_^) Oh iya, saya sudah bilang belum kalau dengan order lip elixir ini (atau produk Oriflame lainnya), kita juga punya kesempatan buat dapat gaji, lho❣


Pleaase share jika review ini membantu. ^_^

See you! ♡

A New Look (^ - ^)

Salaam everyone!

Alhamdulillah, I'm so happy! Finally, Ichigo Diary got a new header. 😄(^_^)
It has been a long time ago since I had thought about some cute refreshment of my blog. xD

Hello there! Thank you, I forever love you♡

I've looked for some themes, but I don't find one that suits my style, sorry! (>_<)
I've thought about changing the header too, actually changing the header can be a simple refreshment with great impact, right? ♡

And yes, it's true! I found this cute print from Baby, The Stars Shine Bright. It's called "The Pop Up Labyrinth" series. As you can see, it has the print of Sleeping Beauty story, so cute and beautiful. ♡

I pick this print as my header because it looks so classically beautiful yet magical, as same as the fairytale itself. I think it represents a beautiful wish that somehow everything's gonna be fine, even though it doesn't seem so right now. A happy ending is real, as real as your beautiful dream about it. That's why I put a new description of this blog, "Sweet Dream, Sweet Life," because I believe in that. (^_^)

And look at the book written "Sleeping Beauty" on it! I think the book is very suitable with the image and concept of a "diary". ♡◇♤♧

With the beautiful Sleeping Beauty, pink colors, castle, and roses, it's so lovable, isn't it? (^_^)
Well, maybe the picture is less Ichigo (strawberry) than before, but the concept of strawberry cuteness and sweetness will be here and stay! So, don't worry. ♡

I hope you enjoy this refreshment look as much as I do. (^_^)

Thank you for supporting us, and please keep doing so! ♡

Sweet dream & sweet life, everyone!

P.S. I got this new header from Pinterest, so thank you!
If you read this blog in the mobile version, you can turn it into desktop version to see how it looks. (^_^)

Bussy Days ☆

Salaam everyone!

How's life? It's been forever since my last post! 😀

Sakina is doing many things right now! I continue my study (and actually it's a half done now, so please pray for me!), I apply for the job, doing my business, and make more friends. 😊

Do you think that doing some different things at the same time burn you out?

They're actually the kinds of things you love and you enjoy, but somehow it feels (at least a bit) overwhelming.


Is it just me? 😅😆

One day, I decided to take a rest for a few days, just for calming my mind and re-direct my energy. But then, I enjoyed it a bit too much. đŸŖ
While at another time, I felt so exhausted.

Did it happen to you too? 😂

Well, I guess I didn't put my priority right, nor I didn't do well-balanced time management.

Or, maybe I put stressors in my mind too much. That's why things don't succeed with the best result. Do you sometimes have a moment when you don't do your to-do-list properly? 😅😂


Is there a time when you procrastinate a lot? When it happens, it's necessary to analyze why that happens. Is it because you don't enjoy what you do?
Is it because there's a challenge you avoid? Is it because of your comfort zone, and you're refusing to step out of it?

Is it because you are lack of motivation? Do you need some role models and support system?
Or is it because you are in "Gudetama" mode on? 😁😂

Any question pops out when you analyze it, it's important to really put your attention on them because they will lead you to the solutions that you may need if you're trapped in this situation. When you find the answer, I think that's the moment we can make our healthy balance in doing anything in our life. It can be jobs, school, family time, pet time, and of course a me-time for ourselves.

A healthy balance is something we always need to have so we can do everything, even the multitasks, much better. 😊

I'm trying to balance mine in healthy portion too! So, I guess I also need to ask those questions above to myself, lol.

And when the challenges come, it's important to stay calm and not put too much stress about it. At least, just make it an eustress and not a distress. 😊


Btw, from now on I'll try to do my best to post more continuously. (^_^)

Have a great day! ♡
