Two years ago, I was enticed by The Body Shop sale when they had 50% off discount for selected items. All of products discounted were body care and they usually seldom giving special discount for their skincare products. Well, I just bought The Body Shop Lip Butter Blueberry and The Body Shop Strawberry Beautifying Oil. I forgot the price, but each of them got 50% off discounts and I eagerly bought them.

I used the beautifying oil right after purchase, but a year later on the lip butter lol. It's been two years and there's still half of them left because I haven't been using them frequently. Alright, without further do, let's start.

• The Body Shop Lip Butter Blueberry 

• The Body Shop Strawberry Beautifying Oil

Beautifying Oil is pure beauty in a bottle. Made with a lightweight blend of nut oils including Community Trade marula oil, it gives instant hydration and a shimmering finish. This one has a sweet strawberry scent. For body, face and hair A little goes a long way Sweet strawberry scent



Packaging:

• The Body Shop Lip Butter Blueberry

• The Body Shop Lip Butter Blueberry

Yes, it has buttery texture and glides smoothly on my lips. Also, it melts immediately on my lips. I really love the smell of blueberry, I wonder if The Body Shop released blueberry perfume lol.

• The Body Shop Strawberry Beautifying Oil

My mom just bought Innisfree facial foams and its other skincare products. Also, a lot of my friends said that Innisfree was one of the best Korean beauty brand. As a result, I finally wanted to give a first impression on some of Innisfree products that I used. Let's check this out.

1. Innisfree White Pore Facial Cleanser
2. Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser
3. Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam

Since I become a college student, I usually do a makeup daily to keep my face look fresh and most importantly, to prevent from sun rays.

If you are outgoing and looking for a natural daily makeup look with simple processes that protects you from UVA and UVB, this may help you. Using makeup base that contains big amount of SPF is the key to protect your skin from bad sun rays. However, bigger amount of SPF tends to make your skin feel oilier which is annoying for people in tropical countries. To get big SPF without feeling oily, also to get a fresh natural looking makeup, let's check this out.

• I use Blistex Complete Moisture with SPF 15 as a lip sunscreen. Well, it doesn't really moisture my lips so that I need to reapply when my lips feel dry. On the other hand, it does the job as a lip sunscreen.
• When my lips are chapped or super dry, I use Vaseline 100% pure petroleum jelly and I love this one. It really heals my lips from chapping and gives moisture so that my lips feel soft and smooth, also kissable xx.

 Step 2: Time for base makeup

1. With beauty blender

• Make sure your beauty blender is damp and bigger after you soak into water and squeeze it.
• Apply the two way cake with your beauty blender and dab into your face and neck, except for nose area because you want to give a natural light illusion to your nose.
• This is not an actual original Beauty Blender lol. It is actually called Candy Sponge from TWL Cosmetics. The quality is as good as Beauty Blender; bouncy and gives a smooth blending into my face. The price is cheaper, only Rp 100.000 or US $ 7.59 while the original one costs Rp 325.000 or US $ 24.67 ;)
• This technique is to add more coverage into your face.

• Apply directly into your face and neck using makeup brush, except for under eye and nose area. It is not a good idea to put something powdery at first into your under eye area.
• Instead, apply concealer into your under eye area which has similar shade compared to your two way cake or other kind of makeup base, then set with a setting powder.
• The makeup brush that I have is from The Body Shop called Blusher. It has smooth and silky bristles which is why I use it as my all-around makeup brush, except for eye makeup lol. It costs Rp 119.000 or around US $ 9
• This techniques is intended if you don't have any problem with your skin and need more natural looking face.

• Conceal on the affected area that you desire, such as dark circles, acne, dark spots, etc.
• Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Circle Perfector has SPF 30 to prevent your under eyes from discoloration, which is what every under eyes need. It also doesn't feel heavy under my eyes. However, its coverage is sheer to medium which is suitable for natural looking makeup. I don't know how much it costs, because my mom bought it and gave to me. I'm sure it is pricey lol.
• Set them with setting powder.
• Marcks beauty powder is the best setting powder ever!! Mine has the shade 'white' and the result is translucent which is what I need. I'm pretty sure every Indonesian women love it, because it is cheap (Rp 13.000), reduces acne, and made in Indonesia ;)

• First up, draw a thin layer on your eyebrows with eyebrow pencil which has a shade that similar to your actual eyebrow color. Then blend with eyebrow spooly to give more natural look.
• I use Etude House Drawing Eyebrow in shade 'Dark Grey.' It gives natural look and it is waterproof yet long lasting. Sadly, it's pricey (Rp 108.000) in their official store but it's cheap if you buy online or directly in South Korea. I recommend this product <3
• Second, curl your eyelashes and apply a coat or two of mascara into your upper and lower eyelashes.
• My eyelashes curler is from The Body Shop. It's pretty decent for me and doesn't have any problem.
• My favorite mascara ever, Maybelline The Hyper Curl Volume Express Waterproof Mascara. It stays a whole day and keeps my eyelashes curled, gives longer eyelashes and natural thick look. Also, it doesn't fade when I cried lol. It costs only Rp 65.000, the cheapest among Maybelline mascaras yet the quality wins my heart.
• Last, give your lips a natural pinkish look by adding lipstick with the shade that is similar to your actual lip color. I recommend satin-finished lipstick or colored lip balm.
• I use Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush. I really love the color, but I'm annoyed by the shine which is too much for me. It's faded so fast when I eat and it doesn't give any moisture. Instead, it cracks my lips a little bit especially when it's faded. The result is sheer and natural pinkish lips.

Final Result:

Hai semuanya, tahukah kalian bahwa toner sangat penting untuk wajah kita. Fungsinya yaitu selain membersihkan wajah dari sisa sabun dan kotoran yang masih menempel, dia juga melembabkan kulit wajah kita. Jadi, jangan lupa pake toner setelah cuci muka. Dijamin kalian bakal puas sama hasilnya, xx.

Kebetulan toner andalanku yaitu The Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner. Bagus banget buat kulit kombinasi-berminyak dan aku uda pake 3 botol HEHE (review menyusul). Tapi sayang banget pas aku mau beli lagi, dimana-mana out of stock jadi mesti beli toner lain padahal uda cinte -____-

Akhirnya aku beli toner keluaran terbaru dari brand lokal yaitu Emina The Bright Stuff Face Toner di Watson Citraland seharga Rp 20.000 ukuran 50 ml. Murah sih, makanya aku pengen nyoba sebagai pengganti The Body Shop untuk sementara.

1. Murah (Rp 20.000)
2. Brand lokal
3. Travel Friendly
4. Wanginya menenangkan
5. Mudah didapat

Love,
Ivana.

Halo semuanya, di review kali ini aku mau bahas tentang lip color yang lagi hype dan banyak diomongin saat ini, yaitu Sariayu Duo Lip Color shade DLC K-08. Karena banyaknya beauty blogger yang mereview lipstick ini dengan beragam penilaian, aku jadi penasaran dan pengen beli. Aku beli lipstick ini dengan harga Rp 99.000 di Martha Tilaar Shop Grand Indonesia dengan shade favorit aku yaitu K-08. Pengen sih koleksi semuanya, tapi berhubung aku seorang mahasiswa pas-pas an jadi mau gak mau mesti pilih satu aja dulu, takut nyesek duit ludes :')




Packagingnya bisa dilihat di atas. Well, packaging ga masalah buat aku asalkan kualitasnya harus bagus. Namun sayangnya, ada sebagian orang yang 'kletek' plastik botolnya untuk membuka. Sehingga tulisan matte dan glossy di botolnya hilang. Bisa hilang karena tulisan tersebut di print di plastiknya, bukan di botol nya. So, biar ga hilang, jangan di kletek. Cukup diputar aja botolnya, maka bisa dibuka tanpa kehilangan identitas, bahahaha.
