BEAUTY: Half Year 2016 (June) Empties

Hi All! I’ve posted my second Empties video on my YouTube few days ago. June has passed away like 2 months ago… but, I still post it anyway. I’ve shoot the video on June, but just got time to edit and post it this month because I was still busy with school on July. I hope you understand my circumstance. 

BODY 

Alyssa Ashley White Musk Body Lotion 

Maybe you hardly ever heard this brand called Alyssa Ashley. But, I’ve known it since I was a kid. My aunts used this body lotion for a long time and eventually I was introduced to the brand. I pretty loving this body lotion because it was not greasy and dry pretty quick. The scent was also nice, because they use synthetic musk’s scent. Musk are pretty known for their scent. It contained a lot of product in one bottle. It took me several years to finish it off and the scent was still there. If anyone of you is searching for a regular yet moisturizing body lotion you should have your hands on Alyssa Ashley White Musk Body Lotion. Buy it here.

SKINCARE

It’s Skin 2PM Sunblock

This one is probably the first sunscreen slash sun-block that I’ve purchased. Not because I know that this product is good, but because it is 2PM’s sun-block! Oh yeah, I’m a avid Hottest (2PM fan-base name) and I must have their sun-block and collect their souvenirs from It’s Skin that have 2PM picture on it. HAHA. As I got older, I realized that I must use sunscreen to prevent dark spots showing up on my face. I used this quite often since then. Actually, this sunscreen was finished like years ago, but I just got to get it into my empties video this time. I’ve never want to throw it away, so I will always have it and will put it on my empties video sometime, I thought. Plus, I shoot my first empties when I was in Lombok, so I don’t have this sunscreen with me. 

Well, done with the crap, I really love this sunscreen despite it was 2PM’s sunscreen. It is not greasy and really proven that this formula is effective in preventing sunburn as well as dark spots. It is only SPF 50+ PA+++, but it protect against UVA and UVB. Plus anti-wrinkle and have a whitening effect without leaving white streaks. I’ll definitely back to this sunscreen when I went back to Korea and hopefully they still have the same formula. Buy it here.

Banila Co Hello Sunny Sun Moisturizer

I’ve been mentioned this product several times. So, for more detailed reason why I really liked this product, you can read it here. Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued. TT_TT But, I think if you want the similar product from Banila Co, you may try their Prime Primer Sun. I just know it from the video of Meejmuse. As I scroll down the information on their website, this product is quite similar with the sun moisturizer. 

Etude House Moistfull Collagen Facial Freshener and Cream 

Freshener is the first step of skincare after cleansing. It has the same function of toner. That’s why I often alternate freshener with toner. Both the products from this line are quite good on me. It is moisturizing and gave a Korean glow. The scent was pretty good too. Even though it is moisturizing, it doesn’t feel thick. I think it is quite good for teens whose are going to take care of their skin. It is also quite affordable. Etude House launches another range of products that resemble with this line. They are called Moistfull Collagen Water Jelly. It has “Finding Dory” themed packaging. It is so cute and may be an option for you who are searching for more soothing skincare. Buy it Freshener here, Cream here.

L'Occitane Essence Sublime 

I have a mixed opinion about this product. At first I liked the matte effect of this essence and the scent of it. But then, I realized that this essence is not what I was looking for. I was looking for purifying (get rid of redness) essence like my Lancome. I’ve done some researched about L’occitane best essence, but eventually the one that is the best was not available anymore in Indonesia. So, I bought this product. It was not really a bad product, but it doesn’t match with what my skin needs. I prefer my Lancome Hydrazen Neocalm Gel Essence, which explained next. 

Lancome Hydrazen Neocalm Gel Essence 

My first essence is from Lancome. And I’ve been loving it since then. I love almost everything about it except the price. It does really calming my skin and it can act as a spot treatment also. I’ll definitely going to buy it after I’ve finished my Innisfree one. More review on it, read here.

MAKEUP

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover 

Clinique have several type of makeup remover from this line, such as eye and lip remover, cleansing balm, towelettes, cleansing oil, and cleansing milk. I needed an eye and lip remover at that time, so I purchased this product. At first, I didn’t like it because it quite stings and too much oil. Also, the bottle is such a bothersome. But after few times, I’m getting used to it. This remover helps removed my hardly-removed eyeliner. Since, I wear contact lens whenever I go outside and wear eyeliner on my waterline, the oily feeling from the remover leaves an uncomfortable sight. But even though it perform quite well, but I prefer my Lancome eye remover nowadays (review on my Lancome products will be posted soon!). Buy it here.

Dr. Jart Ctrl-A Spot Cover 

This is also another product that has a bothersome packaging. Even though I really liked the products in this line, but this particular product was disappointing. This product is actually acted like as a concealer. The liquid will come out after we turn the spinner. But after 2 or 3 times uses, it got broken. So, I didn’t know if it is empty and what so good about it. I just want to throw it away. I don't really recommend it, but if you want you can buy it here.

Jill Stuart Makeup Base

I got this product from a set of Jill Stuart makeup few years ago. My mom bought it from Hong Kong. I bet that she bought it just because of the cute packaging. I didn’t really remember the result from using it. The makeup base has a pinkish formula. The product is not empty yet, but I guess it has gone expired. So, it is the time to throw it away.

Tony Moly Expert Triple BB Cream 

I got their trial package and I sometimes liked it. It has a great coverage, but sometimes I feel itchy. It also feels thick and greasy sometime. But it contain SPF 35 or 45 (I don’t really remember it), which maybe the reason why it is a little bit greasy.(the picture above is the new packaging) Buy the full product here.

BEAUTY REVIEW: It's Skin Peeling Gel

Hello!!

Finally, got the chance to post on this blog again! after around 6 months busy with uni life. *sigh* I got a full month of holiday. So, I will post blog as much as I can, since I have lots of things to share. 

So, first up! My review about It's Skin Peeling Gel. check it out! 

Everyone have dead skins. To get rid of it, most of us go for facial, masks, or just deep cleansing. Now, there is an easy way to get rid of it, since there is a product named peeling gel. The application is very easy, it doesn't take a long time, and it's inexpensive! You didn't need to go to the salon or take a long time in the bathroom. I've used this product for quite some time. The peeling gel I used is It's Skin "Mangowhite Peeling Gel". 

Product info:

Name: Mangowhite Peeling Gel

Brand: It's Skin

Origin: Korea

This product does an amazing job! The effect lasts for a week. It makes my skin smoother, clean, tight, and not oily. My skin type is acne-prone skin, so when I got my period my hormone produce those acne, and the way I minimized it was by using this peeling gel. I used this twice a month, since it is act like a scrub, so it is not good to use it on daily basis. The good news is peeling gel is not as harsh as facial scrub, but it does a good job. I would recommend to everyone this product. 

I bought this when I went to Korea, because my mom did buy another peeling gel from different brand and I kinda like it and want to have it for myself. So, I got to buy this peeling gel from It's Skin basically because at that time 2PM is the one who endorse it. So yeah.. Thankfully, they didn't fail me! 

I've bought another peeling gel from Faceshop and I can't wait to use it. I'll use it after this product finished. Keep tune on my blog, since I've got a lot of products to talk about! 

Thank you for reading!

P.S: Last summer, I went to Korea, which means a BIG HAUL coming up! :D

BEAUTY REVIEW: Nivea Sunscreen

Hello Everybody!

It's me, Jennifer here! :D
Today, I make a new section on my blog which is Beauty Review. I'm new in the beauty world, but I think it's fun! So, I'm trying to do this regularly.
Hope you enjoy it! :D

Just visited the nearest drugstore which is, Watson near my house. I picked up some things. I bought those things for my trip to Cirebon. I need to buy a new sunscreen/sunblock for face and toothbrush along with it's cap. But then, I found bought more things such as, facial wet tissue, new facial foam and toner, bandages, and deodorant. Quite having a haul. HEHE. 

So, back to the topic, I'm going to review my new sunscreen which is Nivea Sun Whitening Face Cream SPF 50. 

This is my second sunscreen after It's 2PM Sunblock. Almost ran out of it and the tube have been damaged so, I can't brought it for traveling. FYI, I took that sunblock all the time when I'm traveling. For daily sun protection, I use Banila Co Sun Moisturizer SPF 35++. Nivea Sun Whitening Face Cream SPF 50 has a compact packaging, it was suitable for traveling. It was more rigid from It's 2PM's packaging. This sunscreen has 50ml worth of product. I forgot the price, but it seems like Rp.100.000++ 

GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

1. It has the perfect size for traveling.
2. It says that you don't have to put it 20 mins before you go outside, and it was quite true. My friends used it under the sunny day in Cirebon and they didn't have any problem.
3.  It was written that this sunblock was for face. But it works also with your body especially your upper hands. 
4. Water resistant. 

BAD NEWS ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

1. It makes you look superrr oily! For oily face type, don't purchase this product. It has an intensive moisturisation (written on the tube), so it will make your face super oily. Use a translucent or loose powder to shoo away the excessive shine.
2. It written non sticky but, it feels tacky on the face. Is that a same feeling, isn't it?

Would I purchase this again? No. I prefer my It's 2PM Sunscreen rather than Nivea one. Because, It's Skin one were more light and it prove me that it protect me from sunburn even with one coat of application. Noted that I was snorkeling after I use the sunblock. This sunscreen makes me oily, humid, and hot. 

SCORE:

I would give it 2 out of 5.
