BEAUTY: Scarlett Brightening Review

Hi semua~ Ini pertama kalinya aku pakai Bahasa Indonesia di blog ini. Mohon maaf jika sedikit aneh dan canggung.

Post kali ini aku mau review produk dari Scarlett Brightening yang lagi hype di internet. Pertama kali aku nemu produk ini adalah waktu aku lagi cari body scrub di Instagram. Aku cari pakai #bodyscrub, terus banyak post Scarlett Brightening ini. Nah, terus akhirnya aku coba deh body scrub dan produk lainnya dari Scarlett Brightening. Hampir seluruh produk dari Scarlett Brightening ini mengandung Vitamin E & glutathione yang berfungsi untuk mencerahkan, melembabkan, dan menutrisi kulit. Lalu, Scarlett Brighening ini sangat ramah sama kantong karena rata-rata harganya adalah 75 ribu rupiah. Jadi sangat affordable kan? Di post kali ini aku akan review 3 produk best seller mereka yaitu, body scrub, body lotion, dan shower scrub.

Body Scrub – Romansa

Produk pertama yang aku coba dari brand ini adalah body scrub-nya yang Romansa. Seperti namanya, wangi body scrub-nya itu kayak wangi bunga mawar yang bisa bikin mood jadi romantis gitu. Secara formula, body scrubini agak creamy dan scrubnya tidak terlalu besar, jadi tidak terlalu kasar. Tapi surprisingly, scrub-nya berfungsi dengan baik untuk menghaluskan kulit. Karena produk ini ada efek brighteningnya, jadi habis menggunakan scrub ini kulitnya terlihat lebih cerah. My verdict is body scrub-nya oke banget untuk ukuran brand lokal dan harga yang sangat affordable.

Body Lotion – Freshy

Ini produk favorit dari ketiga produk yang aku punya. Ini wanginya mirip banget sama parfum J* M*****e. Pas terima paketnya lagi buka plastiknya, udah kecium dong wanginya. Wow banget! Aku terkesan banget sih sama wanginya. Karena saking penasarannya sama lotion ini, abis buka aku langsung cobain. Pas aku pencet pump-nya, lotionnya agak terlalu creamy sih buat aku. Terus aku skeptis bakal lengket, eh tapi ternyata engga! Terus lumayan mudah untuk blend-in produknya ke kulit. Body lotion ini punya instant brightening effect yang cukup baik. Rekomen banget lotion ini dan saran aku pake lotion ini sehabis mandi atau sebelum tidur malam. Langsung nyenyak tidur karena wangi. Dan juga, packagingnya sangat aman karena ada safety pinnya. Jadi ga akan tumpah kalau kalian mau bawa-bawa.

Di foto di atas, keliatan banget kan bedanya habis pemakaian? Jadi kalau butuh instant brightening bisa banget pakai lotion ini. Pakai lotion ini bisa bikin happy gitu. Aku percaya bahwa wangi-wangian bisa membuat mood yang baik, apalagi kalau kamu suka sama wanginya. Well, karena aku suka banget wangi parfum J* M*****e, jadi lotion ini bisa bikin mood happy apalagi dengan harga yang sangat ramah di kantong.

Shower Scrub – Pomegranate

Hadap Belakang

Sabun ini agak beda dari sabun pada umumnya karena sabun ini mengandung scrub. Karena produk ini 2-in-1, yaitu sabun dan scrub, shower scrub ini bisa digunakan setiap hari karena scrubnya tidak terlalu kasar, sehingga tidak akan melukai kulit. Shower scrub ini juga terdapat Vitamin E dan glutathione yang memberikan efek pencerahan pada kulit, serta melembabkan dan menutrisi kulit. Selain itu, produk ini wanginya seger deh! Karena mereka menggunakan buah pomegranate atau delima, jadi wanginya itu fresh tapi juga masih ada rasa manisnya.

Nah, kira-kira gitu lah review aku tentang produk dari Scarlett Brightening. Oh ya, aku juga dapet stiker lucu yang sesuai sama produk yang aku punya. Overall, aku suka sih sama produk-produknya. Tapi, mungkin kedepannya stiker lulus BPOM-nya jangan nutupin bagian ingredients-nya kali ya? Karena penting buat pembeli mengetahui apa isi dari produk yang mereka beli. Bukan sekedar berdasarkan dari review-review orang lain.

Not so good labeling position

Aku terkesan banget sama produk kecantikan lokal yang makin hari makin meningkat kualitasnya. Terus, yang paling penting, harganya masih ramah sama kantong. Semoga anak-anak bangsa bisa terus maju dan kreatif.

So, now it’s your time to try!

Stay beautiful all!

XOXO,

BEAUTY: BEST OF EMPTIES 2019

Since I have to finish what I’ve started, here I present the best of my second half of ‘Empties 2019’. I’ve uploaded the video, where you can watch it here. I’m terribly sorry for the late upload, but I hope it is still valid for helping you. The beauty market evolves quickly these days and I have a hard time keeping up, but since I only stick to a few staple products, I hope it can help you to buy the right product for you. Always remember that everyone has their own skin-type and conditions, so not all products are suitable for your skin. Know yourself first, then you can find suitable products for you. 

So, here it is the best products out of my 2019 empties!

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

This is the cheat key in the beauty world. Ever since I used this patch, I have no worry about acne. Well, I don’t have lots of acne on a regular basis, but sometimes when I have distorted meal plans and hormonal activities occur, I can see a tiny bump of acne. When it came out, I put on this patch, and voila! The next day you can see the bump decreased. I put on my Skinmiso spot serum after I washed my face to help to clear out the acne scar. I only use it once a day and mostly at night time. I rarely put the patch on day time and with makeup on. But, this patch works also even when you have makeup on.

Etude House Proof 10 Gel Pencil Liner

My very best-eyeliner-friend! I think I have bought this product like 3 times and still love it until now. This product is one of the products that I devoted to. I’ve bought this product since 2014, and I can’t believe that I have this huge loyalty for an eyeliner. It stays for most of the day and inexpensive, so what else do I hope for? I’ve raved about this product a lot both on my blog and videos, so you probably heard how much I love this product.

Innisfree Natural Eyelashes

I didn’t like to wear fake eyelashes regularly, so it is quite surprising that I listed this product here. But, I loved this product a lot. It is lived up to its name, natural. It looks natural on me and I fall in love with it. The price is also friendly enough and it made me stock it up. I used this eyelash when I have big events such as, on my graduation and my friend’s wedding. These eyelashes helped you to achieve the Korean celeb look that you used to see in a drama. I think it is similar to the eyelash Seo Yeji has for ‘It’s Okay to Not be Okay’. Totally recommended!

Ugly Duck Multi Shield Cream

I got this product from my cousin and I’m surprised that I liked this product. I never knew about this brand at all, but it turned out that this product is amazing. Too bad I couldn’t finish up all the product, but I had a good experience using this product. The cream is like a light balm, but it is not greasy and doesn’t make your face oily. I will buy this product when I got a chance to go to Korea again.

Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water

The only non-Korean brand on the list. I came across this product before Bioderma captured the cleansing water market. At first, I tried the travel size one and it helped to remove delicate makeups. So, I decided to buy a normal-size one. What I love from this product is the packaging. They used a very convenient pump. The solution is also not soapy at all. Sometimes it feels sticky, but it depends on my skin condition at that time. Well, I don’t have any problem with that. It also has a refreshing scent, which came from the green grape extract. This product is paraben-free and kind to the environment. A plus point! I have 3 micellar water in the cabinet right now, so I won't buy any kind of cleansing water for the next 2 years, but definitely will repurchase this product after I emptied the other 3.

That’s all the products that made up to my list! I hope this helps you in buying the products and encouraging you to empty the products you’ve bought. Let’s be more responsible and wise for shopping. Thank you for reading till this part. 

See you in my next post, which I’m going to continue my JCP Features series! ^^

BEAUTY: Empties 2017 (TOP 5)

Hey! Empties of 2017 is here, finally! I’ve prepared it since January but, I’m busy with my very last assignment for my undergraduate program. Now it’s done! I feel so relieved and so light right now. I’ll highlight few products that I recommend for you to try out in this post.(Watch the full video here)

Nivea Night Whitening Body Lotion

I really liked this body lotion. First time I came across this body lotion was when I feel that my skin looks darker since I stayed in Lombok. I bought this at a local supermarket in Lombok. Actually I don’t really need whitening products because usually my skin will be back to normal after few days staying at home. After giving a try, I does give an instant whitening on my skin. The product consistency is quite light and dry fast after application. You won’t feel the tackiness lotions usually have since it is dry fast. It is a good bedtime routine product you need.

Wavertree and London Bar Soap

Major love for this bar soap! I got this from my mom who brought it from Australia. Frankly speaking, this soap might not as fancy as Lush’s products, but I really liked this bar soap. With 200g worth of products, it is much bigger than any Lush’s bar soap. It is cheaper also! The scent is just perfect, not too much or too less. And most of all, it is moisturizing especially when you use bath puff, it lathers so well.

Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil Eyeliner

My holy grail eyeliner ever! It glides easily and didn’t hurt your waterline at all. It doesn’t smudge for quite some time and the color pay-off is real deal. I’ve never use makeup whenever I play with water, but I usually sweat a lot when I have outdoor activity, like being a tour guide for example. When it happened, this eyeliner still stays, but a little smudge can be seen. But it doesn’t turn you into a panda, though. The price is inexpensive, that’s why when I went to Korea on April 2016, I bought like 4 pieces of it.

Isoi Bulgarian Rose Blemish Care Serum

After using it few times I feel disappointed with this product, but I still finished this product. It turns out the result of using this product was slow. But I do find difference on my skin. Since my beloved Lancome serum has now gone, I finally found the replacement, which is this Isoi serum. The only downside of this serum is the product is too little but the bottle is too heavy. When I’m going to Korea, I planned to buy this skincare line again. I should try this product out again since my skin has changed since the last time I used this product. I wonder if it worked again with my skin. But definitely, this product is worth to try!

Neutrogena Deep Clean Oil-free Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes

My new fave product from a drugstore. I’ve been in love with my Pond’s wipes before I get my hands on this Neutrogena cleansing wipes. This wipes are magical. It gives you instant refreshing feeling on your skin. It dries fast also, so don’t worry if you didn’t do the double cleansing procedure. The product is oil-free so, it doesn’t show any shine on your face like any other makeup remover products. One packet of this wipes worth a long way. So, it is really worth to the try.

So that’s is my top 5 products from Empties 2017. I hope you find this post helpful and hope you can find it in your country because some of the products I mentioned in the video or this post are mostly from Indonesia and Korea. Also, there are some products that are already discontinued. If you have tried the products I’ve mentioned, don’t hesitate to comment down below.

Have a wonderful day, everyone! Remember you are beautiful in your own way. Thank you for reading!!
