Ketika Mengganti Mood Sesederhana Mengganti Warna Lipstick | Mini Review Wardah Colorfit Velvet Matte Lip Mousse 03

Halo!

Apa kabar semuanya? Aku berharap kalian semua juga sehat dan stay safe, ya! ❤

Di hari yang mendung ini, aku terdorong untuk membuat tulisan tentang salah satu terapi ringan yang sering banget aku lakukan untuk memperbaiki mood. Namanya, Terapi Touch Up. 😆

No, mungkin agak kurang tepat. Terapi Makeup.

Ehm, kayaknya masih kurang spesifik. Oke, Terapi Lipstick. 😂

Aku bukan penemu hal ini, kok, mungkin banyak juga yang sudah pernah atau bahkan sering melakukan hal ini. Aku suka makeup, terutama lip makeup (setelah itu cheek makeup, hehehe). Walaupun koleksiku didominasi warna pink, tapi nggak ada warna pink yang sama, sehingga bisa dipilih sesuai tone baju dan mood.

Yes, sesuai dengan mood.

Nah, kali ini yang mau aku review di sini adalah Wardah Colorfit Velvet Matte Lip Mousse. Aku punya beberapa shade, tapi favoritku adalah shade 03 'Rose Ballerina'. Begitu swatches-nya muncul di IG Lippielust, aku langsung tahu shade yang bakal jadi favoritku. 😍 

Foto ini diambil di bulan Januari 2020, sebelum pandemi. Di tengah perjalanan naik kereta api ke kota tempatku bekerja saat itu, aku sengaja touch up pakai Lip Mousse ini. Waktu itu bukan semata pingin dandan, tapi karena memang aku sedang butuh mood-booster. And trust me, touch up using your favorite lippie is very relieving. 😌

Setelah sampai stasiun

Nah, kalau di bawah ini adalah foto pada suatu hari Sabtu di perusahaan tempatku sebelumnya bekerja. Casual vibes, lol. Di bulan-bulan itu, aku sedang membutuhkan banyak energi positif. Pokoknya butuh lebih banyak dari biasanya, wkwkwk.

Dan aku juga apply shade 03 ini.

Warnanya cantik banget. Pink pastel dengan sedikit hint peach, membuat wajah cerah seketika. Bisa dibilang Wardah Velvet Matte Lip Mousse 03 ini adalah lipmatte pertama yang warnanya aku banget. ❤ (mengingat matte lips sudah booming di Indonesia dari kapan tahun wkwkwk)

Formulanya juga nyaman dan lembut, teksturnya mirip 3CE Velvet Lip Tint. Hasil akhirnya velvet, cocok bagi yang suka blurred effect/gradation lips.

Bicara staying power, lip mousse ini relatif tahan lama dan lumayan transferproof, apalagi kalau sudah nge-set. Kalau dipakai untuk makan berat, lip mousse ini akan luntur, tapi cara mqkan dan jenis makanan juga berpengaruh, ya! Dan lunturnya beda ketika lip mousse ini dipakai makan ketika belum nge-set, baru nge-set, dan setelah nge-set lama. 😉

Dan setelah itu, bisa touch up kembali jika dibutuhkan. 💓 Walaupun lip mousse ini tidak terlalu smudgeproof, tapi cukup bisa diandalkan untuk menemani aktivitas di era New Normal. 😷

Dan ini foto terbaru, baru beberapa hari yang lalu, Januari 2021. After work, sepulang dari instansi tempatku bekerja sekarang. Lagi-lagi, aku pakai shade ini untuk jadi support system-ku dalam bekerja, supaya bisa melakukan yang terbaik. ❤

Dan btw, shade 03 Rose Ballerina ini juga salah satu shade favorit Ayana Moon.❤

Nah, poin lain yang mau aku bilang adalah... kadang menerapkan self love dan self compassion bisa sesederhana ini. Cukup pakai warna yang kamu sukai, dan kamu siap menatap dunia. Cukup pakai aitem favoritmu; makeup favorit, baju favorit, aksesoris favorit, atau bahkan mainkan lagu atau musik favoritmu. An instant mood-lifting. 💓

At least, it works for me. It may work for you too! Lagi galau, lagi butuh semangat, motivasi, atau pingin ganti mood 😂 aku kemudian pakai warna lip makeup yang sedang ingin aku pakai, warna pink mewakili mood-ku saat itu, atau warna pink yang mewakili mood yang aku inginkan. It's relieving. ❤

Itu sharing-ku, sih, sambil review, wkwkwk.

Kalian gitu juga, nggak? Ada yang pernah melakukan hal yang sama? 😆

Kalau belum, dicoba ya. Siapa tahu membantu.❤

Refreshing-nya jadi nggak harus keluar rumah, hohoho.

Thanks sudah baca.❤

And have a nice day.❤❤

3CE Velvet Lip Tint Mini Review! Drizzle Love & Enjoy Love ❤

 Salaam!

So, finally today I post about another 3CE lip tint. It's 3CE Velvet Lip Tint. ♡ This range has the widest color palette, so you can find at least one color that suits your complexion, mood, or personality. I got them in Drizzle Love and Enjoy Love. ♡

Such a cute description ♡

See the original pictures here

Drizzle Love is an adorable daily pink that really caught my attention. On the 3CE official website, the color looks like a neutral MLBB pink, but the real swatch on me is different (I have to say!). Drizzle Love came as soft mauve pink with a hint of cool undertone. The color looks mature yet cute at the same time!

Update: The color looks different when I apply some bb/foundie cushion as a base on my lips. It looks more like MLBB pink that appears on the website. ❤

This is my swatch without applying a base on my lips. I'll update you the "using lip base" version swatch once I have some proper photos to share, lol. ^^

Still love it, though! ❤

I love the way it sounds! ♡

Original pictures are from 3CE Official Website

I love bright pink color with neutral or warm undertone, it usually brightens up my complexion and the color looks cute. So, I was wondering about this one, would it be bluish bright pink on me, neon, or simply cute bright pink, lol. But, the pink color looks so cute! I've been always thinking of this shade, so I decided to order it. 😆

It's such a lovely bright pink color! ♡

Enjoy Love is a yellow based-pink that looks lovely, cheerful, and it looks bright but natural. This is my pick-me-up-shade. ♡

About the texture, Enjoy Love tends to become patchy easier than Drizzle Love. I'm not sure, is it because the difference of formulation, since Drizzle Love is on their latest collection of Velvet Lip Tint? Or, it can be also because Enjoy Love has a lighter color than Drizzle Love. It's a common thing in a lip product: the formulation of the lighter color is more difficult than the deeper ones.

But, when I tap my finger on my lips, the patches disapear, so I'm okay with that! (^ - ^)

The Velvet Lip Tint also has a smooth sensation without heavy feeling and it feels comfortable on my lips. ♡

I'm still exploring these liptints on me, so if there's something new observed, I'll got you updated. ♡

The pictures are taken from 3CE official website. By the way, I ordered them from their Shopee Official Store. ♡

(Update: when I tap my finger on my lips, the upper color layer transfers to my finger, and the appearance of lip tint becomes velvet and blurry! It leaves a bit different color than when I first apply it, but still very lovely! This applies to both Drizzle Love and Enjoy Love, so, I think that's the characteristic of 3CE Velvet Lip Tint ^^)

Salaam and Good Days!

My Pink Autumn Cloud Color ❤ 3CE Cloud Lip Tint in Cutesicle Mini Review

Salaam everyone!

Cutesicle, such a cute name for a lip tint shade! ❤ So, I scrolled down on 3CE official website and this cute color caught my attention. It's so lovely, right? 

Picture is taken from 3CE Official Webiste

Cutesicle is described as "a light pink with warm undertones." I was so thrilled about that because it's more often that when it comes to a light pink color, it's usually cool-toned. And when it comes to cool-toned light pink, it will appear greyish, purple-ish, white-ish, or something ashy that washes out my complexion. But a light pink color with warm undertones? I should give it a try! ♡

The swatch on Park Sora (the face of 3CE) kinda doubts me, through. The pink color looks so light on her (and so good!), would it suit my skin tone? On the other side, I saw a lot of good review about this shade on 3CE official website. The reviews say that the color is so cute and it doesn't look pale on them, and the texture is amazing. Alright! I said bismillah and I ordered it from 3CE official Shopee account. xD

I ordered the 3CE Cloud Lip Tint in Cutesicle together with a shade of their legendary Velvet Lip Tint in Drizzle Love, but I'll talk about this one on another post, insyaAllah! The Cloud Lip Tint itself was launched in Autumn 2019.

So, the tints were coming. Really anticipated them! And when I tried the Cutesicle shade, I was like... "Oh, this is my shade."

Did I mention about the elegant packaging? ♡

Well, I know, my best shade so far is coral pink, but this shade... surprisingly, it suits my complexion! It gives a soft, understated, yet cute vibe. It's like my default style and personality in a lip tint! That's how I love this color! ♡

Cutesicle appears as a peach-pink shade with a yellow-beige undertone when it's firstly swatched. But as time goes by, it turns to be a soft, warm light pink as the description. Even when I don't put on any makeup and just wearing this lip tint, I still look adorable (please forgive my wordings xD).

Now, about the texture.

Picture is taken from 3CE Official Website

The texture is so interesting! As the name, Cloud Lip Tint, the texture is like a "cloud", it feels soft, fluffy, and blurry. The texture makes a gradient technique become easier! And the staying power is amazing. If some lip tints lose their "upper color layer" after a couple of hours and turn into a stain, this Cloud Lip Tint stays true on the performance as it's freshly applied, except if you have a heavy meal.

It does transfer, but just a little and not too much. After heavy meals, it leaves a lovely pink stain on my lips. Does the lip tint dry out my lips? Nope. Literally, nope at all, I'm serious. It sits on your lips with a fluffy feeling.♡

About the price, it's in the middle-range, I think. It's still affordable anyway and with such good quality, the price is reasonable. You can check them out in their official Shopee store or on their official website!

Hope your autumn is fluffy, sweet, and beautiful. ❤

Ayana Moon Inspirations ❤ (and A Slight Review of Ayana The Journey To Islam ♡)

Salaam!

It has been a long while since my blogging days! I hope you guys are safe and stay healthy. (^_^)

As today is still the atmosphere of Eid, I'd like to wish you an Eid Mubarak 1441 Hijriah for all my Muslim readers! Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum, may Allah receive our ibadah. O:)

Well, this time I wanna share with you guys my thoughts of a Korean Muslimah influencer, Ayana Jihye Moon. Of course, you know her! She is so popular and has a positive image and influence towards people, especially for the young and millennial generations, and specifically for young Muslimah ones. She is beautiful, humble, smart, a hard worker, and loves to learn (or study!). In Indonesia, Ayana Moon is a brand ambassador for some of the well-known brands, such as Pocari Sweat and Wardah Cosmetics. I love makeup and I have some cosmetics and makeup brands that I love, but I must admit that Ayana Moon makes me become a fan of Wardah Beauty! And when I've started to use their makeup, I just found out that their products are really good as well. (^ - ^)

Okay, so! In the spirit of Eid for our better self, I wanna share with you some inspirations from Ayana Moon. Please stay tuned! (^ ^)

1. Ayana Moon's Skincare & Makeup Routine
Ayana loves natural makeup! I resume this part based on her Live IG Story in Wardah Beauty Official Instagram on May 10th, 2020. I'm not sure if anyone recorded the Live and uploaded it somewhere, but, well... actually I did record some parts because I found that Ayana's favorite shade of lip matte is the same as mine! (>_<) And then, I gotta feeling of, "Wow, we wear the same favorite shade of lip matte!". So, I decided to record it for my own property to keep the moment alive, lol. Sharing the recordings may cause some problems, such as copyright issues. So, I think it's better if I share the resume of her skincare and makeup routine without the videos, just on blog writing with some pictures. I didn't record the whole Live, just a few parts of it, so I'll write down what I have. I hope it's okay and still help you! (^ _ ^)

                                                

                                                                       Code number 3 ❤

• Her Skincare
• Wardah Acne Series
• Wardah Perfect Bright Moisturizer SPF 28
• Wardah Perfect Bright cleansing foam
• Wardah EyeXpert Makeup Remover
• Wardah Brightening Micellar Water
• Her Makeup
• Wardah Instaperfect BB Cushion (I'm not sure about the shade, but I guess the lightest one)
• Wardah Instaperfect City Chic Blusher (pink)
• Wardah Colorfit Velvet Matte Lip Mousse code 03 (Rose Ballerina)
• Wardah Eyeliner (the pencil type)
• Wardah EyeXpert Mascara
• Wardah Eyebrow (brown shade)
• Wardah Eyeshadow
• Ayana's Favorite Lip Make-Up
• Ayana doesn't like ombre lips make up. She only puts her favorite lip mousse, Wardah Colorfit Velvet Matte Lip Mousse 03.

a capture from her Instagram story ♡

• Ayana Tips on How Not To Get Darker Lips
• Apply sunscreen on the lips! Ayana has naturally pink lips, but she gave advice to a viewer that might help. Sunscreen will block the damaging UV rays that cause your skin (and lips) to become tan. Ayana also applied sunscreen on her hands.
• Ayana's Trick to Have A Glowing Skin (*^ - ^*)
• She said that her glowing skin is because of the makeup, lol. xD Well, the cushion she wears from Wardah Instaperfect has a dewy and glowy finish, so I guess that's what she meant. (^ ^)

2. Journey To Islam

I know, I know. A lot of people are inspired by her journey to Islam, that she can keep going with her faith although it as really difficult for the first time. Personally, a life of mualaf never stopped being amazement for me. I always admire their journey on how they found Islam, even their struggle on holding on to their faith because for some people it becomes their most difficult time. Having a different religion with their family or being a minority in the society that offers minimum supports is not the easiest thing in the world. Learning about their journey and process, also learning about how Allah gives guidance on them, these things always amaze me. :)

a part of my portfolio about Ayana Moon :3

And that's what Ayana faced too. Reading her story is breathtaking, for she had to work extra hard so she can take her study in Malaysia. 2 years of hardworking, and it was so exhausting. Her parents, at the time, take stopped all the financial support for her because of her conversion to Islam. That's why Ayana had to fight alone.

After 2 exhausting years, Ayana had her landing in Malaysia. But, things seemed not going well. Financial needs were so overwhelming, and I try to imagine if I were in her shoes: 2 years of hardworking and after just a few months, my saving was spent out almost half of it because of the unexpected urges! And I live alone, far far away from my country.

After a year, she had to give up. Her mom saw her in Malaysia feeling so sad about her daughter's condition. But, my favorite part is when she put the verse of Al Quran surah 3 Al Imran: 139, that said, 

"So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers."

Before going back to South Korea, Ayana then spent some time in Indonesia to take a holiday. That's when she had introduced to Wardah company. They share a similar vision, and that's why Ayana become the part of Wardah family as a brand ambassador.

Another beautiful part about this book is, Ayana found the meaning of love, family, and way of life in Islam. Islam doesn't only give her new family, but also unite her with her family. Ayana became closer with her younger brother, Seongwook, as she never had a close sibling relationship with him before. Seongwook later interested in Islam, became a mualaf too and he was given a new name, Aydin. Her parents are now more open to Ayana's faith and they get closer as a family.

I didn't resume all the book content was about because I think it's better if you buy a copy, read the complete story, and support Ayana. (^ _ ^) I learn that Allah gives hidayah in many ways, hidayah can even come form our interests. Reading it myself make me appreciate my Islamic faith more, also appreciate my relationship I have with my siblings, family, and my friends even more. And another thing I learn about Ayana's journey is that no matter how difficult your situation you're in, no matter what, Allah will help you. Allah gets your back, always! For you who's in the struggle, don't give up, keep going, and praying. There will be times when you smile and feeling grateful because you're now in a better situation than before.

3. Other Things that Inspire Me!

Ayana Moon loves to learn a lot. As a student (yes, I'm a magister student indeed lol), studying is an important thing. From her Instagram, we can find out that Ayana is taking Arabic and Mandarin classes. Arabic is difficult, on one of her posts she said that sometimes it made her cry! But, she keeps on fighting anyway, and her skill is getting better as well. As a Muslimah, learning Arabic is really helpful to read and understand Qur'an (and hadits), especially if you want to understand it more deeply than just reading a translation. Also, from her book, you can tell that Ayana is a smart and hard-working girl.

Personally, I am always impressed by people who could take more than one thing in their life. It's like, you want to keep the balance and have a proportional portion on your rules. For example, having a good balance on working, studying, and doing ibadah, and you can still achieve your goals. That's why Ayana really inspires me. :) (and for you who have followed my blog for quite a long time, I'm sure you know that I also admire Misako Aoki, not only for her style and cuteness but also for her roles as a model and a nurse ^^).

My father once said, as a Moslem, if we put Allah first, Allah will help us with guidance and ease for what we're doing.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Alright! I think that's all I can share with you today. (^ - ^) I hope this help. Feel free to comment if you think there's something I should add. :D

Thank you and stay safe! (*^ ^*)

Review: Oriflame The One Colour Unlimited Lipstick Super Matte (5 New Limited Edition Colors)

Salaam, everyone! Dan semangat pagi!

Menyambut awal tahun, Oriflame merilis banyak produk baru. Salah satunya adalah lipstick kesayangan banyak Oriflamers dan para customer-nya, yaitu The One Colour Unlimited Lipstick Super Matte dengan 5 warna baru! (repeat order produk ini cukup tinggi, lho ^^). Well, 5 warna baru ini sebenarnya sudah dirilis sejak bulan Januari lalu, tapi baru di bulan Februari ini saya berkesempatan untuk mencoba semua warna barunya. Mengapa saya memutuskan untuk mencoba semua warna barunya? Mari kita mulai review ini dengan sedikit obrolan dulu, ya! ( ` u `)

Semula saya hanya berniat mencoba satu warna yang sepertinya "bakal kepake" di saya, yaitu kode warna Secret Blush. Itupun awalnya saya sedikit skeptis, karena saya punya varian Perenial Pink dari warna original seri ini dan merasa warna pink-nya kurang cocok di saya.

Tapiii...

Setelah saya coba Secret Blush ini, saya suka banget! Warnanya masuk banget di saya dan very wearable. Untuk formulanya, saya merasa warna-warna baru ini memiliki formula yang lebih nyaman. Gimana nggak jatuh cinta kalau begini, kan? Jadi deh beli semua warna barunya, mumpung lagi diskon. xD

Sumber: Katalog C2/2019

(Februari 2019)

Itu tadi prolognya, sekarang kita mulai masuk ke review-nya, ya! (^_^)

1. Kemasan

Kemasan lipstick ini masih sama dengan seri The One Colour Unlimited sebelumnya, yaitu berupa tube ramping berwarna hitam dengan aksen ungu muda. Kelebihannya adalah kemasan mungil begini (net. 1,7 g) langsung gampang masuk makeup pouch, bahkan jika ingin membawa kesemua warnanya pun tetap bakal muat-muat aja. :D Dan karena isinya gak terlalu banyak, insyaAllah bakal kepakai sampai habis. ^^

Kekurangannya (menurut saya) kemasannya benar-benar sama dengan 3 seri The One Colour Unlimited sebelumnya. Secara pribadi, saya adalah tipe "packaging oriented" setelah warna dan formula yang menjadi pertimbangan utama. So, yes, they could do better! ^_^

2. Warna

Sumber: Official Facebook Page

Oriflame Indonesia

The One Colour Unlimited Lipstick Super Matte ini merilis 5 warna baru yang lembut dan misterius. Wow, what a thing! Berbeda dari 8 warna originalnya yang terkesan cerah dan berani, 5 warna baru edisi terbatas ini terasa lebih kalem. Pigmentasinya medium to full coverage. Berikut adalah deskripsi warna berdasarkan personal swatch saya: ^-^

urutan warna dari atas ke bawah sesuai review ya! ^^

1. Perennial Pink

2. Enigmatic Nude

3. Secret Blush

4. Furtive Raspberry

5. Nocturnal Red

6. Mysterious Pirple

Featured: 33365 Perennial Pink. Sebenarnya Perennial Pink termasuk ke dalam koleksi warna original, tapi daripada dia belum di-review sendiri, kan kasihan, jadi sekalian saja. ^^' Warna ini tampil sebagai warna pure pink dengan undertone biru ketika di-swatch di tangan, tetapi ketika diaplikasikan di bibir saya, warnanya jadi lebih muda. Saya merasa kurang cocok dengan warna ini, karena warnanya jadi terlihat agak abu-abu. O.o Biasanya saya memang lebih cocok menggunakan warna-warna hangat atau neutral undertone jika bicara tentang warna pink, jadi jika warna lipstick ini lebih hangat, mungkin akan cocok. Namun bagi teman-teman yang yang punya nuansa kulit dingin (cool undertone), warna ini akan terlihat cantik sekali. ^_^

Nah, sekarang kita beneran masuk ke review lima warna barunya! ^^

33856 Enigmatic Nude. Di kulit saya, ini adalah warna nude peach. Ketika diswatch di bibir, hasilnya seperti warna bibir dengan concealer tipis, cocok untuk dijadikan lip base sebelum membuat gradient lips.

33857 Secret Blush. Sejak melihat warna ini di katalog Januari 2019, saya langsung tau ini bakal jadi warna favorit saya di koleksi ini! xD Secret Blush adalah warna pink dengan sedikit hint cokelat yang wearable untuk dipakai sehari-hari dan cocok untuk semua warna kulit. Hasilnya di bibir saya adalah MLBB pink yang segar. Dan, bisa ditebak, warna ini menjadi best seller di koleksi terbaru ini.

33857 Secret Blush

(Disclaimer: di foto ini saya menggunakan filter yang hasilnya paling mendekati warna asli dari lipstick, karena ga tau kenapa hasil foto menggunakan kamera depan ada hint ungu-nya, sehingga kurang bisa meng-capture warna asli secara keseluruhan ^^")

33858 Furtive Raspberry. Awalnya saya kira warna ini bakal muncul sebagai warna merah dengan sedikit unsur pink sebagaimana ketika di-swatch ke tangan, tapi ternyata setelah diaplikasikan ke bibir lebih dominan ke warna merah berry. Hasilnya cantik dan sophisticated!

33859 Nocturnal Red. Warna deep red yang membuat wajah saya jadi terlihat lebih dewasa. xD Sebenarnya warna merahnya bagus banget, kesannya elegan dan berwibawa, hanya saja, saya merasa kurang cocok memakai warna ini, kecuali kalau warnanya lebih gelap sedikiiit saja. Meskipun demikian, warna ini termasuk warna yang populer, lho. Soalnya warna merah seperti ini cocok dengan sebagian besar warna kulit orang Indonesia. ^^

33860 Mysterious Purple. Warna ini adalah "warna utama" yang dipakai oleh model di katalog Januari 2019, and surprisingly, ternyata warna ini banyak yang suka! Ketika saya swatch, warna ungunya memang tidak seseram yang saya bayangkan, malah terlihat elegan dan classy. Untuk kalian yang berani tampil beda dan ingin menunjukkan sisi kreatif, saya merekomendasikan warna ini. ^_^  Bahkan bagi kalian yang "baru ingin memulai" untuk lebih bereksperimen dengan makeup, warna ungu medium ini juga aman untuk dipakai. Bahkan saya sendiri suka melihat swatch warnanya, walaupun saya tidak se-eksperimental itu. ^^ (atau mungkin belum? xD)

3. Formula

Formulanya baguuss *_* dan sangat nyaman di bibir. Entah kenapa saya merasa formula dari 5 lipstick warna baru ini lebih nyaman dari seri originalnya, walaupun tidak terdapat keterangan mengenai perubahan formula yang tercantum di katalog. Koleksi originalnya pun sebenarnya memiliki formula yang cukup nyaman dengan hasil akhir matte yang lembut tanpa rasa kering yang mencekik bibir. Rasa nyaman tersebut masih saya dapatkan pada kelima warna terbaru ini. Mungkin ini akan terasa "kurang matte" bagi beberapa orang, tapi bagi saya tidak masalah, karena tampilan akhirnya masih tetap terlihat rapi dan tanpa kilau/shine, sebagaimana demikianlah tampilan lipstick matte. Hanya saja masih ada sensasi lembapnya (ini semacam comfort matte). And it's a good thing, karena lipstick ini diformulasi dengan LipSoft  Moisture Plus yang membantu memberikan sensasi kelembapan dan keseimbangan pada bibir sehingga terasa nyaman sepanjang hari. So, yes, ini sesuai dengan klaim. ^_^

Lalu, apa yang membuat saya bilang formulanya terasa sedikit berbeda dari versi originalnya?

Ketika memakai Perennial Pink, ada kalanya lipstick ini masuk ke dalam garis-garis bibir (biasanya pada saat level hidrasi dalam tubuh saya sedang rendah). Namun hal ini tidak saya alami ketika saya memakai Secret Blush (dan warna-warna lain di edisi terbatas ini). Bahkan ketika hidrasi dalam tubuh sedang rendah pun, garis-garis bibir tidak terlalu noticeable. Selain itu, kelima warna terbaru ini less transfer dibadningkan dengan Perennial Pink, yang artinya juga lebih tahan lama. Lipstik ini juga terasa ringan di bibir, baik koleksi warna original maupun koleksi 5 warna edisi terbatasnya.

4. Ketahanan

Ketahanan lipstick ini secara umum cukup bagus. Klaimnya adalah lipstick ini mampu bertahan 11 jam. Well, saya sih jarang pakai lipstick sampai selama itu. xD Mungkin lipstick ini bisa bertahan selama itu tanpa makan makanan berat, apalagi lipstick ini nge-stain (staining) alias meninggalkan stain pada bibir. Yup, lipstick tahan lama Oriflame seringkali memiliki ciri khas ini, dan saya suka. ^_^ Soalnya hasilnya jadi semakin terlihat natural dan menyatu dengan bibir. Saya pernah pakai lipstick ini ketika makan sayur sop dan ayam geprek, warnanya masih kelihatan rapi. Tapi untuk makan nasi padang tetap luntur warnanya. Jadi, lagi-lagi jenis makanan dan cara makan berpengaruh. ^_^ (kalau teman-teman pernah melihat kalimat seperti ini di salah satu review produk di website Oriflame Indonesia, yup itu saya yang nulis hahaha).

Digosok pakai makeup remover pun gak langsung hilang, lho

Kesimpulan

(+) Pro's

1. Hasil akhir matte yang nyaman di bibir.

2. Mengandung ingredients yang merawat bibir.

3. Gak bikin bibir kering sama sekali. :D

4. Tahan lama. Lipstick ini staining.

5. Very little transfer to transferproof, artinya kadang lipstick ini masih transfer tapi sedikiitt banget, dan kadang juga malah gak transfer sama sekali.
6. Pigmentasi medium to full coverage.

(-) Con's

1. Lipstick ini mungkin terasa "gak terlalu matte" bagi sebagian orang.

2. Harganya relatif mahal pas lagi nggak diskon ._. Teman-teman bisa mendapatkan harga yang lebih murah dengan cara join sebagai member. Selain potongan harga, teman-teman juga bisa mendapat penghasilan tambahan dan memulai bisnis sendiri dengan banyak reward yang luar biasa kalau teman-teman menekuninya. Gak ada ruginya kok join member Oriflame. `u `v

Kesimpulannya, lipstick ini worth to try. Buat kalian yang ingin menambah koleksi matte lipstick (hihihi) atau sedang mencari lipstick dengan hasil akhir matte tapi dengan ingredient yang merawat dan tidak menyebabkan bibir kering, kalian bisa coba lipstick ini. Jika kalian suka warna-warna cerah, koleksi original dari Oriflame The One Colour Unlimited Lipstick Super Matte memiliki 8 warna yang cantik. Sedamgkan untuk kalian yang menyukai warna yang lebih kalem, lipstick ini juga memiliki 5 warna edisi terbatas yang bisa kalian coba, mulai dari warna yang lebih lembut sampai warna bold yang misterius. Sebagaimana saya sebutkan, lipstick ini repat order-nya cukup tinggi dan termasuk produk makeup paling populer dari Oriflame The One. Bisa jadi kalian juga menyukainya! ^_^

Semoga review ini bermanfaat, yaa! Please share jika menurut teman-teman review ini membantu. ^^

Salaam.

Fairies ♡

Salaam!

Lately I've been in love with this cute items, inspired by the fairies. ♡

The first thing is this lip tint. I found it in a cosmetic store when I was accompaniying my friend, such a treasure!

And the second one is this fragrance. ♡



Elvie eau de toilette from Oriflame. ♡ It smells beautiful! The scent is light and watery fresh, but also soft in the same time. It will bring out your mood without too overwhelming. ^_^

Happy New Year 2019! Let's Plan and Journaling ☆

Salaam there!

First off, I wanna wish you a Happy New Year 2019, may all our hopes and prayers come true! Let's make this year become the year of realization! ^_^

If you're like most people, you may have some new year resolutions. Well, so do I, and one of my resolutions is to be more productive. Prayer, study, work, and doing other activities in between, I need to balance them out very nicely. And, not to mention, I still need a me-time with my hobbies and the cute things that I love! ^^

Sometimes, it's hard and overwhelming when we get to do a lot of things in the different subject. Sometimes we may even can't decide which one the priority is. In the other time, it's suggested to write down our targets, dreams, and schedules. That's where a planner and journal can be your support system!

I'm looking for a new journal and planner for this year, and alhamdulillah, luckily, I found this. ^-^

1. Wardah Inspiring Beauty Journal 2019

the design is so beautiful!

It's actually a bonus that you'll get when you purchase a certain amount of nominals, then you'll get this journal! For some of you who don't familiar with this brand, Wardah is a local cosmetic brand from Indonesia that brings out the Halal concept. The journal comes with flower illustration and some photos of the brand ambassadors. One of them is Ayana Moon with the Everyday Cheek & Lip Tint she endorses, and I guess that's the main reason I decided to get this journal! xD

so lovely! With Ayana's recommended product ^^

Quick Review:

I got the code 01 "Red, Set, Glow!" and 03 "Pink on Point." Both are so pretty with a semi-glossy finish! Code 01 is a beautiful red with a little hint of orange and 03 is a fresh light pink. They're great as a lip tint and so cute as a blush. The texture and smells are wonderful too. ^_^

This journal comes in full-color pages from January to December. It has many interesting contents, for example, some activities that allow you to do a self-reflection. It also has the calendar content, monthly planner, and blank pages that you can use for journaling or write down any ideas that pop out in your mind! All are decorated with pastel colors and flowers, with a different color for each month. There are also different product recommendations featured in each month, adjusted to the theme of the month. For the Muslim sisters, this journal event has a content related to Ramadhan and Eid ul Fitr as well! ^^ Although I believe that everyone can use this journal and make the best of it too. ^^

Some pages from the month of March (Maret in Bahasa)

This Wardah Inspiring Beauty Journal is beautiful, the concept and the mission behind it to bring out our natural beauty from the inside is great. It will be a great journal to accompany your days! But, I'm not sure if I would recommend it as a diary because I think this journal is too eye-catching for people to look out and read what's inside. xD

2. Journal and Planner Ideas from Pinterest

I got these ideas from Pinterest! Well, actually a long time ago I was really into bullet-journaling, crafty arts, and illustrating. When I look at these ideas, I think it's a wake-up call for me to spice up my daily life with a touch of cutesy-artistic. ^-^ It's actually only some of them that I put here, you can find more inspirations on Pinterest. ^^

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 Beautynesia, Basically,  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 <sup>"). 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.</sup>

(-) 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! ♡
