REVIEW A'PIEU Air Fit Cushion Garfield Edition now DORAEMON

by the time i am posting this, the garfield edition will already discontinued, but don't worry because A'PIEU will continue their collaboration with "someone" else

CHECK BELOW for teaser

i'm not a cushion lover, more like never used any cushion product so this is the first time i try cushion

A'PIEU for this summer 2015 released special edition cushion in collaboration with GARFIELD

based on their best seller cushion product

A'PIEU AIR FIT CUSHION

never try the original one, so i have nothing to compare with, but i think aside from the case the product itself is the same.

for the shade SPECIAL EDITION have 1 more shade than the original.

this is the shade for the A'PIEU AIR FIT CUSHION SPECIAL EDITION

the one i have is shade 21

now move on to the product :

*contain 32% mineral water instead of water for clean and moisture skin*
*contain aloe vera and tea tree so it suitable for sensitive skin*

*patent ingredient of avocado peptide give healthy elastic skin*
*rolling system” with skin curves giving an even application*

*airy cover powder gives silky comfortable skin coverage*
*SPF50+PA+++*

i bought this because it's very affordable compare to the other cushion (even though it doesn't comes with refill) the other reason was.. it's cuteeeeeeeee

How to use:
After skincare, use the air puff provided to apply the BB cream onto the skin.

price

± KRW 5,800 / IDR 100.000 (without refill)

i bought this at www.testerkorea.com

ingredients

search cosdna

 

 

comes with mirror on the lid (i haven't rip off the plastic yet)

personally i don't think this or any cushion product making me save more time on doing my make up especially in the morning, because it takes time to blend the product or should i say tapping the product.

i have dry/mature/sensitive/acne prone skin and i work mostly in air conditioning environment so my skin need moisture enough so it can survive the day, I like this product because it gives me the moisture i need without being heavy, i guess it's suitable for normal-combination skin but it cling to my dry patches.

the puff is so soft and thick enough, i like using this because it keeps my hands from being dirty hence making the make up flawless and poreless.
update : it tore easily when i washed it. :(

coverage : light, reapply on area you need for more coverage,make sure to apply thin layer first and build it up where you need it, it will not cover any dark spot, just enough to even out skin tone and redness around my nose

the color more on the neutral side.. not too yellow or too pinkish.
my shade is no.21

it sets into dewy healthy finish, use primer and powder is recommended for oily skin, unless you like that dewy korean look.

it brighten and evens out my skin instantly with no darkening or oxidized (i used this from 7.00am-6pm), start melting off on the side of my nose after 5-6hours, less if you have oily skin.

and the most important thing is no break out.

the downside for me just one thing I really don't like the smell, a bit too strong for my taste.

i have lots of freckles around my cheek, it will not cover it but my pores and redness around my nose are covered well

been using this for a week now (every morning), i'm not really sure it contain 13gr because it run out pretty fast, i don't think it would last me a month, which will be expensive in my calculation.. :(

so sorry to say that the Garfield Edition was already discontinued, but instead of Garfield now they launch their newest collaboration :

DORAEMON SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION

 *Doraemon Air Fit Cushion Special Set (comes with refill)
*Doraemon Air Fit Cushion Blusher (DOREMI case)
*Doraemon full of color eyes (eyeshadow palette)
*Doraemon Jelly Marmalade (liptint)
*Doraemon Hand Cream
*Doraemon Sunblock
and their latest
*Doraemon Air Fit Bboyan Cushion (the white one)

can't resist the cuteness ? HURRY UP before they discontinued again.
( psst...i just order the cushion set )

isi : 20 ml
Harga IDR 28.000
Shade Available : Light and Natural

 

 isi 20 ml

 

 Flip cap tube (lebih suka twist cap)

Sebenernya bukan kebetulan dapetin produk ini, tapi emang sengaja nyari... pas BB cream yang dipake sekarang habis, sambil guggling" nemu produk nya Wardah ini en reviewnya bagus" juga.

muter-muter ke Guardian, Century en Supermarket deket rumah ga nemu.. malah ketemunya di Matahari Dept Store.

 Shade 01 Light

warna nya gak greyish seperti kebanyakan BB Cream lain.. cenderung ke yellowish.. 

smell : almost nothing

coverage : light - medium.. 1 layer lumayan buat nutup noda yang ga terlalu nyata, buat noda yang agag bandel ato buat under eye biasanya saya layer lagi, tp buat foto dibawah cuma pake 1 layer.

texture : creamy gag terlalu thick en ga terlalu cair juga, hasil di muka glowy-velvety-not oily feel :D

..before and after..

LOVEE DECH... 

buat pake daily ini cukup banget (plus ada benefit antioxidant dan sun protection-nya), 1 layer bisa buat cover redness en spot yang ga terlalu gelap juga meratakan warna kulit. ketahanan 4-5 jam baru mulai melting dan yang paling penting ga oxi (setelah beberapa jam ga bikin kulit menggelap/kucel), buat aku yang kebanyakan kegiatannya di ruangan AC produk ini cukup melembabkan, jadi yang skin type nya oily / berminyak bisa di set pake bedak lagi.

My Opinion : Wardah C-Defense DD Cream

* Sangat terjangkau ( 20ml )

* Mudah di temukan

* Coverage Light - Medium

* Cocok untuk kulit dry-normal-berminyak (bisa di set pake bedak lagi)

* Ringan banget di kulit, hampir berasa ga pake

* Ga Oxi (menggelap di kulit setelah beberapa jam pemakaian)

Repurchase ? ABSOLUTELY

suka banget sama produk ini...... hehehehe

soo.. anyone tried this yet ?? it's worth to try.....

thanks for reading, pls leave comments and don't forget to follow........

REVIEW - POND'S WHITE BEAUTY PEARL CLEANSING GEL

 Disclosure
" Pond’s Pearl Cleansing Gel is the first whitening facial wash in gel formulation that cleanses your skin, making it whiter and fresher, without drying it. Gel skincare products are lighter in texture and generally have milder ingredients allowing its essential properties to dissolve faster and more effectively into the skin. The Pearl Essence is known and tested for noticeable skin whitening. WIth its oxygenated formulation, it cleanses and refreshes while locking in moisture, making skin softer and more supple. Also, it is perfect for sensitive skin as it has milder ingredients compared to drying, whitening soaps. "

size : 50 gr and 100 gr
price range around IDR 13rb-25rb

the product comes in white-pink-transparant tube with flip cap, which i hate... WHY? because (i don't know if it just me) the cap became harder to close as i more and more frequent closing and opening it, at some point it didn't want to close at all.

Clear white gel.. with bubble (perhaps the oxygenated formula?)

aside from that i LOVE everything about the product.
- IT didn't dry out or irritate my sensitive-dry-mature skin, didn't leave that tight feeling that you get often after you wash your face, didn't give that "filmy" feeling that sometimes you get when using facial foam and DOESN'T BREAK ME OUT.
- IT has faint rose floral scent which i loveee and i usually didn't like my cleansing product to have any scent
- IT claims to have whitening effect, but i don't notice that or should i say it wasn't my top priority when i used the product.
this is the first product from Pond's that i own for this long in my stash ( been using this since 2 or 3 months i think ), read about this on one of the blogger i follow and since that i've waited for this to "arrived" in Indonesia.
now this has become my Favorite "over the counter-drugstore" Facial Wash, i kept repurchasing this.

POND'S WHITE BEAUTY PEARL CLEANSING GEL

PLUS
* Very Affordable
* Easy to find (minimarket, hypermarket, watson, century etc)
* Suitable for normal-dry-sensitive skin
* NO Break Out
* Doesn't strip out the skin
* Lovely mild rose floral scent ( i put this in PLUS because i like the scent)

MINUS
* The cap

Repurchase ? 100% YES unless i find another product better than this.

thanks for reading, pls comment and don't forget to follow...

Micellar Purity Water – removes make-up and hydrates – dry or sensitive skin 500ml

This micellar purity water is composed of micelles, small particles of tensioactives which trap impurities found the surface of the epidermis. 
These micelles effectively remove make-up and thoroughly clean the face, eyes and lips. 
With its gentle formula and peony flower extract known for its toning properties, micellar purity water leaves skin fresh while respecting the fragility of dry or sensitive skin.
A naturally gentle result
Leaves skin soft, fresh and hydrated, without prickling or tightness.

Designed and packaged in France

INGREDIENTS : Aqua, Poloxamer 184, Glycerin, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil,
Sodium Benzoate, Parfum, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Disodium Edta, Paeonia
Officinalis Flower Extract, Sodium Hydroxide.

 ================================================================================

basically a cleansing water without drying or irritate even on sensitive skin..
Bioderma has been my favorite cleansing water EVERR (here's my REVIEW)... because i ran out of those i might try out other product.. this caught my eye while i was (originally) searching for Bioderma, for price this is cheaper than Bioderma say.. around Idr 200k (250ml)... while this one is Idr 190k (500 ml), just make it short.. i got this because it was cheaperrr... :D

the product comes with a pump, you have to be careful not pumping it too rough, make sure to place the cotton pad not too far from the pump or else it will get messy. 2-3 pumps are enough for my whole face.

in term of cleansing Corine De Farme cleanse like Bioderma, and just like Bioderma you have to use separate eye make up remover (for me i use baby oil ) for waterproof mascara ( i used L'OREAL Butterfly Effect mascara ) and this is slightlyyyyy sting my eye when i accidentaly get some into my eye while i was cleaning my eyeliner.
- for the Hydrating part, i don't think this is hydrating enough for my skin - i have acne prone/sensitive/mature/dry skin.
-"without prickling or tightness" sorry to say i do have a little prickling and just a bit tightness after use (before i continue clean my face with facial wash).

Top :

Mascara - Loreal butterfly effect waterproof

Bottom R-L :

- Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last liquid eyeliner pencil

- Dollywink liquid eyeliner pen

- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

- Pixy BB Cream

my routine for night time is always to cleanse my skin twice.. with cleansing oil or cleansing water then facial wash especially when i wear sunblock and bb cream/foundation.

the one thing that puts me down when i saw the ingredients list was PERFUME.. personally i don't like my cleanser to have perfume or at least not too much, this has that sweet floral milky scent (not too strong though) and now after using it for a while the smell is bearable.

overall i think this is a pretty good product if your looking for a cleansing water as well as Bioderma
as for my skin concern i still prefer Bioderma, but this do the job just as well as Bioderma, it would have suits you if you have normal-combination oily skin.


CORINE DE FARME

PLUS
* Affordable Idr 170-190rb (around USD 13) for 500 ml
* Easy to find (local drugstore Watson, Guardian, Century)
* Cleanse well

MINUS
* Contains Perfume
* Not hydrating enough for me (or people with dry skin)
* Slightly prickling

repurchased ? umm maybe NO..

NYX TAME AND FRAME TINTED BROW POMADE - BRUNETTE

MAKEUP REVIEW TIMEEE....

NYX TAME & FRAME BROW POMADE

"Give extra life to your brows with our easy-to-use brow pomade that glides onto skin and hair. Our smudge-proof, waterproof formula comes in five shades to coax brows into prime shape. Stand up to humidity in style!"

0.18 oz

my shade is : BRUNETTE

I read that this is the dupe for ANASTASIA dipbrow pomade (US$18).. well since i never use anastasia i cannot comment on that..
I got this for the price US$ 6.99 (+shipping and other fee to Indonesia would be around IDR 120.000), for the price i know for sure this is cheaper than Anastasia, I was a beginner for using this kind of brow product so this will be my review / first impression too... I was a bit scared at first, i was afraid that my brow would look weird or maybe too bold, cause i want my brow still looking natural.

Before and After

the product comes in a little plastic jar, Consistency is gel-cream-like but a bit chalky, and for the pigmentation umm.. it's just OK.. available in 5 shades.

i have sparse and very thin eyebrow and I applied this with masami shouko angled brush.
the product is a lil bit hard to work with, especially when I tried to add another layer, it's just kinda remove the color (especially when it already set) and my brow seems to hard to get even.
i spent longer time (which is something i don't have) just fixing my brow in the morning and i end up using my eyeshadow or my eyebrow pencil to fill in again.

as for the longevity, it last up to 9 hours without smudging (though i rarely or never touch my brow after i done with it)

my brow manage to look natural and not overly done (as long as i wasn't picking up too much product though), but the amount of time spending making it was too much, yet i guess that's me lack of practice.

this is me after 10 hours using NYX tame & frame, i don't do the instagram kinda brow, this is just my own preference on how i like my brow to look, even though it's not perfect well hell i'm still learning.
you can see the uneven part on each brow and around this time the brow actually faded jussstt a lil bit.. don't forget that i sweat a lot and i have combination skin  (that includes the brow area get a bit oily after few hours)

sorry for the weird expression

PLUS
+ waterproof
+ long lasting
+ smudge-proof
+ Affordable
+ the color suits me well

MINUS
- a bit CHALKY and Hard to blend (especially when it already set).. **you can see at my picture above**
- not available in indonesia (yet)

bottom line.. i like that it smudgeproof, waterproof and long lasting.. i don't have to worry about my brow disappeared when I'm sweating (i sweat a lot because it's summer, well it feels like summer everyday here in Jakarta, but now it seem to be hotter than usual.....), for the price i say it does the job pretty good.
For you who wants to try what's eyebrow gel like but don't wanna spend too much money on it, i guess this can be a good alternative.

i'm still mastering on how to apply this... pls tell me if you have any suggestion..

thanks for reading

XOXO

REVIEW Cathy Doll Tofu Mask

imagine Tofu for mask ummmmmm

... Noooo not like that.....

Packaging

Ingredients

Product Description

HOW THE PRODUCT LOOK LIKE

CATHY DOLL TOFU MASK - 170 gr

what it says : 

• formulated from Tofu, richness of protein and various natural extracts.
• nourishes facial skin to be smoother and firmer and renews skin cells.
• Royal Jelly from honey increases resilience to facial skin.
• AHA extract from yogurt removes dead skin cells gently.
• Effective soybean oil keeps skin moisture in-locked all day long.
• This very aromatic formula delivers facial skin firmer.
• Smoother and brighter as baby skin also soothes your emotion once us

promising huh?

**** LET'S TRYYYY ****

it doesn't come with a spatula or something else to scoop the product out, so i use my own spatula, the jar is pretty big.. i can use it for few months if i use it every 2-3 days.
spread around 0,1-0,2 cm thick all over my face and neck (don't wanna look like wearing a mask right..) except for the eye and lip area, leave it around 15-20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

texture-wise.. not like tofu though.. more like white thick pudding-y cream with sweet milky scent.. a bit overwhelming for my taste, I eventually get used to it after few times using it.

when use => i feel cooling sensation, after a while i notice my skin looks a tad biittt brighter than before and the product absorb beautifully into the skin leaving fresh, soft and moistfull feeling afterwards.


the price is around IDR 168.000 on their website they currently give free gift whenever you purchase something from the website but i find a very good bargain at qoo10.co.id around IDR 85.000 :D

FIRST IMPRESSION-KRACIE Hadabisei Moisturizing Face Mask (Brightening)

a week ago i got this mask from Kawaii Beauty Japan apparently i won their #KBJMakeAWish contest.. :D

just when i think to myself "oh my god my skin looked so dull and lack of moisture, i need something fast" and the next day this arrived in a package.

2 pcs Hadabisei Brightening Face Mask, Leaflet about other Kracie products and their calendar

so LETSS GIVE IT A TRYY...

Product Description :

HADABISEI FACE MASK (BRIGHTENING)

contain generous amounts of serum provide intensive care for brighter and moisturized skin.
Formulated with Vitamin C (Brightening Active Agent) and Collagen(Moisturizing Agent).
Slows the production of melanin and prevents freckles and spots.
Mask sheet made of 100% natural cotton.
Moisture Penetrating Effect: Formulated with Fruit Acid (Lemon extract) to soften keratin, allowing optimal penetration of moisture.

Contain : 20ml per mask
Price range : around IDR 25.000-35.000

How to use :
1. Clean and dry your face
2. Open the mask sheet and put it on your clean face, do not cover your eyes and mouth
3. leave the mask for 10-15 minutes (i usually leave the mask longer)
4. Take off the mask slowly, and massage the remaining serum/essence until it absorbed completely
5. use 2-3 times a week
PS : you can keep it in the fridge to get more cooling effect

this seems to be the new packaging..

before

the serum/essence are plenty enough, not dripping like crazy when you pull it out of the pack and the sheet mask are thick, not like a cheap one which you can easily torn this means good quality. When i put it on i feel cooling sensation and my skin feel immediately moisturized. the sheet itself is wide enough to cover all of my face, the smell is very soft.

trying to be cute.. but FAILED..

IMHO i didn't feel the brightening effect (doohh.. i only used it once) but i feel my skin more moist and soft the next morning.. i like it, but the price is a bit too pricey for me.

Kracie Hadabisei comes in 4 variant depend on what your skin need :
Hadabisei Facial Mask: Extra Moist (Red), Brightening (Blue), Elasticity (Orange) and Eye Zone Mask (Pink)

you can find their products at local drugstore such as Guardian, Century and Watson.
