REVIEW Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Energizing Facial Foam

Garnier Pure Active Fruit Energy Energizing Facial Foam

Fights acne and Brightens skin

suitable for acne prone skin

Enriched with grapefruit, pomegranate, vitamin C* and salicylic acid, it cleans deeply to help fight acne, unclog pores and brighten skin complexion.
************

Finding a right cleanser was a bit of a battle, its either make you or break you.

I have an combination and acne prone skin, choosing a right cleanser is very important for me because i will break out if i choose the wrong one.

I'm still a refugee in my relative house along with my family (now adding a new member, my baby girl #hug)
after moving in.. one of the thing i have to find is facial wash because i lost mine somewhere X(
So for few days i used my husband facial foam for men (i don't like the manly smell ughh) then i decided to try Garnier (i only used it for several weeks though coz it contain salicylic acid which is forbidden while I'm pregnant, but enough to give a review on it)

(Sorry i placed the photos in wrong order)






My opinion :
strong fruity smell (it bothers me a bit when I'm using it)
creamy texture and creates enough foam
doesn't break me out
i don't really notice the brightening effect
after rinsing it leaves some kind like a film on my face (like most facial foam do) which i don't like
perfect for oily-combination skin and will be a bit drying if you have dry skin


Pros :
very affordable (around 10rb-ish)
easy to find, you can find it in any mini market,supermarket and drugstore.
contain salicylic acid which is great for acne
perfect for daily use (non heavy makeup)
doesn't break me out
suitable for oily combination skin

Cons :
strong fruity smell (just meeeee, maybe you will love it)
leaves kinda like a film on my face
not suitable for dry skin


I will have to continuing my search for my perfect cleanser... do you have any recommendation for me??

Pls leave comments, advices or anything below..... don't forget to follow

1 Week with O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

Skin update...

I've been using skincare line from Sulwhasoo this couple months.. but recently I felt that there's no more improvement on my skin.. the acne's still coming even if it went down fast, it still leaves acne marks on my skin.. and it sucks because almost all my face is now covered with dark, red and brown spots (i have freckles too) it's just annoying to see...
so i guess now it's time to try out different product that can lighten or even make my spots DISSAPEARED woooshhhh... hahahaha

Vitamin C is always great for brightening and lightening spots... before, i only used Vit C serum from my dermatologist.. last time i tried to used it again, didn't work well on me.

THEN i asked my uncle google and I found this serum from O.S.T (Only S. Trend) which actually i've heard before from a youtuber called Liah Yoo (Yellowycream)
i was going to buy on WISHTREND then i found out that O.S.T already have their distributor here in Indonesia... ( greattt now i dont have to wait 2 weeks till 1 month for delivery)
So i contacted them.. i love how fast they respond and after i made my payment.. i received my item the next day (Fastttt)... ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡







Here is a quick overview that I've copied from +WISH TREND

The best selling item of 2012 - 2013

the fastest effect with Vitamin C.

Need to tone up loose skin for keeping youth.+ Includes Pure Vitamin-C 20%.
 + Whitening / Recovering trouble Scars.
 + Removing Blackheads.
 + Ranked the best selling item

    in Singapore No.1 commerce. (2012)

+ Ranked the best selling item

    in Japan e-commerce. (2013) 

my thoughts :
oily texture but not thick and absorb quickly into my skin.. i didn't have that tingly sensation when first applied like some and i didn't feel oily at all (this happened if I'm in AC room all day) but if I'm mostly outside yesss it will make my face oily, that's why i suggested to use it as night treatment, if you want to use it day time make sure to wear sunscreen or sunblock.
smell citrus-y but disappeared quickly after applied.
it will sting a bit if you just pop your acne (which is highly NOT recommended to do)

How I use it :
Put 3-4 drops onto my palm.. rub/warm it a bit then pat it onto my face (make my face less oily)
first 3 days i used it as day and night treatment because i was in hospital givin birth to my little baby girl Carissa.
i used it alone (wash face then OST vit c20 serum)

results???
i give you my before and after pic.. (take a deeepp breath..)

before (taken 07 Feb 2014)

after (taken 14 Feb 2014)
♡HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY♡
NOTE : i didn't do anything with the picture above.. just taken with different lightning...

after 1 week using OST VIT C20 serum.. i can see my acne spots are fading \(^.^)/ no breakouts or new acne... i haven't notice anything with my whiteheads and blackheads but so far i'm loving it.. and i will continue using this for a while and see further results.

pros :
quite affordable, bought it at OST Indonesia for IDR 245.000 (usd 20)
** available International shipping at +WISH TREND for usd 24 (now disc to usd 19)
effective and fast results

Cons :
only available online
not travel friendly (since the bottle made of glass)
need to be carefully storing the product (refrigerated after open and keep away from sun)


Note : every person have different skin types/ conditions/ reactions, this review is based on my experience only.

so tell me have you tried this serum too?? can you combine it with FCS from Sulwhasoo??

pls comment below... don't forget to follow.

Thank youu for reading...

REVIEW MAYBELLINE HYPERSHARP LINER

REVIEW Maybelline Hypersharp Liner - 01 so black


Bought it at local Guardian store for around IDR 60.000ish but i got a good deal which is 2 pcs if i add more IDR 1000 woohoo!! 1 for my sister and 1 for myself.. So i only paid around IDR 30.000   
I usually use my Dollywink liquid liner but i don't love it enough to say that it was my holy grail pen liner. I prefer k-palette.
And because past few weeks Indonesia had "water problem"... (I hope everyone is fine).. I was one of the people that had to moved from their home because of the flood.. Luckily i still have my relatives to rely on... So packing for makeup items was a privilege for me... Eyeliner is one of the items i forgot... Hahahaha (i forgot many things since it was in a rush and dark too because the light was out) 
Enough about the flood.. now i don't have eyeliner and i won't be back in my home any time soon.. I need to find one.. Maybelline just happened to be there for me hahaha...   



Simple packaging just like any other eyeliner (black with golden cap)
 I like the tip which is very small so you can draw very thin line (0,01mm)
It's not the blackest black
it need a few second to set, after that I curled my lashes.. no fading.
*not like my Dollywink.. Even i gave 30sec to set.. When i curl my lashes it still fade  (T.T)* 
Some don't find that problem with Dollywink.. Maybe its just me :p   
I don't put primer and I have oily lids... This fades at the inner corner after few hours, next time I'll try to put primer first (aaaa i forgot my primer too)



I rate this 7 / 10
will repurchase if they have deal like that again.
did Maybelline came out with different shade?? I think only black...

that's all for now... trying my best to keep writing :)

have you tried this eyeliner?

pls leave comments/advices or anything you want bellow... don't forget to follow ^_^
