I'm back! It's my semester break, so I have a plenty of time to blog. :D
So, this time, I'm going to post a haul from Skin Food. Skin Food is a Korean cosmetic brand, which use a natural ingredients. They named their product according what fruits or veggie they use as their main ingredients.
Let's get into the HAULS! ;)
1. Nail Polish(es)
I bought 2 nail polishes from Skin Food. They don't really have a good quality of nail polishes, but I have to buy some nail polishes. So, I ended up to bought it from Skin Food. The reason was just I want to use up my Rp. 50.000,- voucher. Hehe. I bought Pedicure Sparkle #6: Violet Sparkle and Pedicure Vita #13: Green Grass.
2. Cuticle Remover I bought another cuticle remover. I should have not bought this, since I have one at my house. I rarely do meni and pedi. A year, I do it twice, only on my holidays. Yeah. I regret to bought that. I bought the " Nail Vita Pineapple Cuticle Cleaner".
3. Foot Scrub I bought "Green Tea Food Buffer". This foot scrub is AMAZING!!! I've used it once, and VOILA! My foot got smoother and brighter. It's exfoliate your feet! The smell was good! it's green tea smell. YUM! :D And the appliance was extremely easy! You just need to scrub your feet and the wash it with water. Recommended this for someone who have a rough feet.
4. Hair Mist
I bought "Applemango Volume Essence Mist". The smell was AMAZING! but, the result was not as I expected. Maybe I use it the wrong way. So, if anyone use this and the result is a volume hair, please let me know! :D
P.S: Just having a sign on my blog, it didn't look like I wanted. If anyone could help me with my sign on my blog, please let me know! thanks!! :D
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:
It has the perfect size for traveling.
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.
It was written that this sunblock was for face. But it works also with your body especially your upper hands.
Water resistant.
BAD NEWS ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
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.
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.
This time I'm going to review Korean Drama! It's my second (the 1st one is about BOF in Indonesia) review, but I'll do it a bit different. It's like a new section of my entry. Hope you guys enjoy it! :D I hope I can do it regularly because this kinda exciting and fun.

Review MARKETING
Marketing is one of the key role of one's production. It can be in form of advertisement (trailer and posters), variety shows (infotainment, appearance in some shows, etc), and others' recomendation. Frankly speaking, I know this drama because I watched Entertainment Weekly, when they interviewed the casts. I've always a big fan of IU and Lee Jangwoo, so I watched the interview and it the drama seems interesting from what the casts experienced during the shoots. Also, when I saw the clips of the trailer in KBS World, I said: this drama is very funmy! I have to watch it!! The trailer itself doesn't really WOW, but it sure gave the funny part of the drama. It was simple, yet it was attractive. Well, the main attraction of this drama, of course, Jang Geunsuk! He was indeed beautiful and it match with the tittle! If the characters doesn't suit the perception of people regarding the title, it would be disappointed. I'll post the video down below.
CHARACTERS
The characters in this drama were match with the story line. But, they have too much supporting characters. The drama's problem was too complicated because there are so many supporting characters. For example, Dokgo Mate is dating woman 1, while dating this woman, there are some problems and conflicts with other characters. Then, they broke up, the another woman show up, and it continues. For the main characters, Dokgo Mate was acted by Jang Geunsuk very perfect, I may say. He can portray the definition of beautiful guy in comic characters into real life. He is the perfect cast!
IU has proven her acting skills are various. She can act as a sincere girl, stupid girl, act like a bummer, etc. Now, she act as a funny-silly girl. She is very bright in this drama. Lee Jangwoo portray as a boy version of Kim Botong, he quite nailed it! He is funny and silly plus he was weird! He act pretty good. But, he is too careful with his actions, so sometimes it doesn't seem natural. He has the same characteristics with his last character, Oh Jaryong from Oh Jaryong is Coming. The difference was only in the appearance and the youthfullness. It's been a long time since Han Chaeyoung back in a lovey-dovey drama. The last time I saw her was in Boys Over Flower. Well, we can't really judge Han Chaeyoung's acting skills. She was indeed a real actress. The one that miss in this drama was she was not clear with her characteristic. Are she an antagonist or a protagonist. Till right now, I'm still confused. The real antagonist, Kim Boyoung, was really awesome! She was indeed very antagonist!! Her character teach the viewer a lesson, greed and bad ambitions will brought you to despair and loneliness. FASHION This drama was a high-fashion drama. The casts' outfit was fashionable and looks perfect on the casts. Especially, Han Chaeyoung. I've always been a
fan of her looks! She is INDEED PRETTY! Here, she show-off her
fashionista side. She looks pretty in every episode. The coordinator has
a good eye of fashion. So basically, there are the bad fashionistas and excellent
fashionistas in this drama. Jang Geunsuk and Han Chaeyoung nailed the
excellent fashionista. Everything they wear was good. Except, Jang Geunsuk's hairstyle at the beginning episodes. IU and Lee Jangwoo was not really a bad fashionistas, but their outfit was not a high-fashion style, yet an high-unique style. But, I really like the DIY Bags that IU use in the drama. Thumbs up for the idea! (Y) (but , I can't find the recap :( )
The Pros of the Drama
The drama was an entertaining drama for my Wednesday and Thursday night.
An addicting drama. I can't wait for the next episodes.
The casts acts really good.
The storyline was not cheesy, some of the scenes were happened in real life.
Suitable for all age, but parents guiding are needed.
I learned new Korean vocabularies. :D
The Cons of the Drama
The supporting characters were too much.
The ending was hang up. I want to see the happy life of Dokgo Mate and Kim Botong! AND Choi David with the mysterious girl!!
From the drama "Pretty Man", I learn...
True love is not showing your affection towards someone you love, but stay by their side everytime. Even, when you can't be his/her's. Kim Botong love was a great role model for you out there who really love somebody. Also, it's better to say your true feelings, if someone love you, but you did not love them as a lover, but only as a friend. Gave he/she a signal, you don't want to be in a love relationship with them.
Greed is not a good thing. It's okay to have "wanting something" feeling, but you should know your limit. It is a sin if you became greedy. Ambitious is a good thing, if you do it without shortcut. But, it became wrong if you find an easy path. It can hurt somebody else without you know. When, you hurt people around you, you might be lonely and it was a devastating thing ever, when you don't have anybody to care and love you anymore.
OVERALL RATING: 95 out of 100
Thank you for reading my first review!
Hope it help and entertaining!
