Silkygirl Blush Hour in 01 Nectar Blush

Silkygirl says: This long-wearing Blusher promises a healthy, natural flush. Its ultra-fine texture promises an excellent color payoff.

Hello everyone, I'm back again to give you a review about a blush that I bought recently from Silkygirl. Maybe you already know about Silkygirl since they are famous with their BB cream but I really fall in love with their blushes. I have Silkygirl Blush Hour in 02 Dune Rose which already become my HG blush since last year (you can read my review here) and I really want to try another shade from this line.

I decide to try 01 Nectar Blush because the colour is like peachy something on the pan and I can't stop thinking about it, LOL! Let's take a look =D

As you can see, Nectar Blush is a matte blush and it's a pretty bright peach. So if you want to have a bright peach blush, this could be the right choice. This blush is very pigmented so use very light hand when use this blush. Perfect for hang out and freshen up my face. If you want natural shade you can choose Dune Rose. It's a natural rosy pink, great for everyday blush. IMO, Nectar Blush is great for light to medium skintone, while Dune Rose is great for almost all skintone.

As I mention on my previous review about Dune Rose, the blushes from this line is powdery, so don't swirl your brush against the pan because it will make them look messy. Just "dab dab dab" on the pan with a light hand and you can build up the colour on your cheek gradually. They are long lasting and blend easily on my cheeks.

The brush is small but very soft. You can use this to apply the blush if you accidentally forgot to bring your blush brush. Very wearable small brush that come together with the blush. The packaging is fragile. My Dune Rose's packaging is crack and I don't know why, hahaha. That's why I pull out the pan and put it together with my Revlon blush >.<

The price is IDR 39500,- but bought this for IDR 27700,- because this November, Silkygirl have sale 30% all item on Saturday and Sunday only in Matahari Dept. Store. It's really a great deal, right? So if you want to try a product from this brand, you can go to their booth on weekend and enjoy the sale ^^

Made in Thailand.

This is the back of the packaging so you can see the ingredients.

What do you think about Silkygirl Blush Hour? Do you have it?
Thanks for reading and have a nice day ^_^

UPDATE! December 16th 2012
It's totally my favorite matte blush nowadays. Really pretty shade! Perfect for my skintone, easy to blend. I reach this one a lot ^_^

My Blush Collection

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post ^^
Today I wanna show you my blush collection, requested by some of my friends because they knew that I really really love blushes. This could be a blush porn, so take a deep breath, LOL!

So, these are the blushes that I have right now excluding my first blush that I have when I was on high school (Pixy in 01 Pink Flowers - discontinued) which already broken, messy, and dirty because it fell on the floor several times and that was the first time I realized that blush can break, and another blush that I already gave to my mom (MAC Beauty Powder in Summer Rose - Limited Edition) which I don't like because it's very sheer and takes a lot of effort to use it as a blush, but it has beautiful rose imprint on the surface though.

Okay, now let me open them for you so you can see the colour inside =D

I hope this is no too much. Some of them still brand new and unopened (NYX) while the other already opened but unused yet (Jordana, Milani, Face on Face) but I will use all of these babies for sure. Really really love all of them.

As you can see, I don't have extreme shade like deep purple, bright orange, or a very dark brown, all of them is very wearable. All of them is more about peach, pink, coral, and rosy shade. I have shimmery blush more than matte blush. Well, shimmer blush is pretty, hehehe. The brand is vary too from Indonesian brand to UK brand. Oh well, I don't have Korean brand like Etude and high end brand like Tarte, Benefit, Illamasqua, Stila, or Nars because their price is crazy.

The pigmentation, some of them is sheer and fool-proof and some of them is very pigmented and tricky. The texture, I have powder, baked (IMO, is the best!), cream, and stick. I haven't try liquid yet but I would love to try.

If you wondering why I really love blushes, well I have to say that blush is the most powerful weapon for me. It can brighten up my face instantly especially if I'm looking tired. If I don't sleep well, just a few swipe of blush, then my face looks fresh again with a touch of natural flush. And if my skin looks very pale, then blush can add warmth to my face. MAGIC!

So this is what I believe, “When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty” by Gregory The Great, St.

If you have any question about blushes that I have above, let me now =)

What is you favorite blush? Please share with me, I would love to know =D

Gift from Lip on Lip and Face on Face

Hi ladies, so yesterday I received 2 packages from courier. Both of them are from PT. Rohto Laboratories Indonesia. I saw the handwriting on the envelopes said "Beauty on Healthy Photo Contest Favorite Winner" and "Lip on Lip Whose Lips Winner". Thanks God, I know this is a bless from You so I can win the contest and quiz from them and thanks to Rohto and Mentholatum for give me an opportunity to win these ^^

Okay, now let's take a peek what's inside.

Canmake Cream Cheek: 07 Coral Orange & 11 Heavenly Heart

Hello to all my readers ^^
Today is a beautiful day, right? I don't know why today is a beautiful day but I feel so happy because it's nice to know that there's a lot of people who really love me <3

Now, I wanna give a review about my new Canmake Cream Cheek that I already mention here on my previous post. This is my first cream blush ever! I'm really curious about the texture, pigmentation, application, how it looks on my cheeks, etc.

I have to admit that Canmake Cream Cheek have a lot of beautiful shades that makes me take a really long time to choose the shade that I really want. Finally, my heart and my eyes decide to choose #07 Coral Orange and #11 Heavenly Heart (beautiful name). Seriously, I have no regret at all to choose these 2 babies. They are soooo pretty. When I first opened it and look on the pan I can see pretty shades with gold microshimmer. Love love love! I really like anything pinkish with gold shimmer. They're like perfect combination. That gold microshimmer gives subtle glow to my cheeks. When I saw my finger after I blend the cream cheek on my cheeks, the gold microshimmer looks like a sheen.

#07 Coral Orange & #11 Heavenly Heart (with flash)

#07 Coral Orange: Pretty coral with gold shimmer.

#11 Heavenly Heart: Fresh pink with gold shimmer.

For application, I'm using my clean finger to apply it on my cheeks. Dot dot dot and blend, hahaha. They're buildable, so be careful if you don't want to look like a clown. Since the pigmentation is pretty good, 2 layers is enough to get the intensity that I want. Very natural looking ^^

Because I feel a bit oily (maybe because it's the first time I'm using cream blush) so I layer it again with a little bit of Canmake Cheek & Cheek and it makes them last longer. This cream cheek spreads easily on my cheeks and not sticky at all.

Because it gives glowy cheeks, has gold shimmer, and a bit oily, I prefer to use this cream cheek at night. I have combination skin (normal-oily) but the oily thing from this cream cheek is still tolerable. I'm so happy to live here in Bandung that have cold weather at night. The shimmer is not overwhelming and it doesn't noticeable except you look closely.

They last up to 5 hours on my cheeks when I wear it at night and note that I always give a thin layer of Canmake Cheek & Cheek. After 5 hours, they start to fade away. Pretty good, right? =D

For the price, IMO they're expensive. They didn't mention how many grams of product on the packaging but they are very small. Since they are gift, I don't know about the price, LOL!

Look how small they are on my hand >.<

Made in Japan.

Overall:
Pros:

• Have a lot of beautiful shades to choose
• Long lasting
• Pigmented

Cons:

• Hard to find in Indonesia
• Expensive
• Cheap plastic packaging

I would say that I really recommended this product and I would love to purchase another shades.

Now the swatches especially for you my beautiful readers ^^

Blushes

I ordered 7 new blushes from local online shop and I guess they got this from CherryCulture.com because they said that I can check the price from CherryCulture.com and using a formula to convert the USD to IDR. Me and my beauty blogger's friend, Alvianti, order some stuffs from them and we have to wait for almost 1 month until we received them on our hands. Horray! Oh, there was a sale on CC for several items that still on going until now and maybe you want to check them out! I like this online shop because their price is fluctuate depends on CC's price and that's make their price cheaper when there's a sale on CC while the other local online shop's price is fixed. I think this is a best deal that I don't wanna missed XD

L to R:

Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink, Rose D'Oro, & Corallina
Jordana Color Tint Blush Stick in Blushed & Rose Petal

I bought this from local online shop because there's a promo during September, buy 2 get 2 free random, hahaha..So I bought 2 pairs and I got 4 pairs. This is my first time buying false lashes ever >.<

The seller is very nice and kind. She answered my questions patiently and gives me fast response day and night, hahaha..

Oh, I just remember that I don't have the glue, ROFL!

Price: @ Rp. 25000,-

Bought from Bulu Mata Naomi Eyelash

Nail Polish

I bought this nail polish from Multiply.com together with my beauty blogger's friend, Alvianti. She asked me if I want to try The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Nails, so I think it's okay because they're ready stock, so we don't have to pre order although it's Korean brand and it's cheap, hehehe...

TFS Lovely ME:EX Nails in BL601 & PK102

Price: @ Rp 15000,-

Okay that's all of my new members in my stash and thanks for reading ^^

New Members In My Stash Part 1

Hello everyone, how are you gals? Anybody miss me? Hehehe...

So, today I wanna share about my new beauty items that I have recently and a bit story behind it. Maybe you can call it mini haul but let me call it "new members in my stash", hahaha. I have 4 new items:

1. Canmake Cheek & Cheek 03 Gerbera Kiss

2. Canmake Cheek & Cheek 04 Love Blossom

3. Canmake Cream Cheek 07 Coral Orange

4. Canmake Cream Cheek 11 Heavenly Heart (I pick this up because I love the name, LOL)

I know that Canmake is not available in Indonesia but still, you can get them from local online shop although I think the price is expensive and it's not affordable for me, so I ask my boyfriend to help me to get these Canmake blushes in Singapore because I know the price would be cheaper, hahaha. A few weeks ago, my boyfriend (which live in Batam) went to Singapore so I sent the picture of these Canmake blushes to him so he can buy correctly and told him that he can get these items in Watsons. 

Actually, I only want 1 Cheek & Cheek and 1 Cream Cheek because I know the price is not really cheap but I really wanna try Canmake blushes since there is a lot of great review about them from beauty blogger. I said to him for Cheek & Cheek I want #03 or #04 and for Cream Cheek I want #07 or #11. Surprisingly, he bought all of the colours that I asked to him, hahaha. He said he was confuse so it's better picked up all of the colour that I wanted, LOL!

Oh, I asked him to get Jelly Beans and Ruffles too. I like Jelly Beans because I can get a lot of flavor in one container and I always love to pick one colour and check the flavor on the back of the container, LOL! Their flavor always surprise me because it taste like a real fruit. And for Ruffles, I actually not really like potato chips because it always makes my throat itchy or sore. But this potato chips taste really good and makes me addicted. Even my brother love it very much and I gave him 1 pack of Ruffles because my boyfriend gave me 2 packs and I know I can't eat all of them >.<

My lovely boyfriend bought seaweed and pistachios nuts too because he knows that I really like it! He bought it on local supermarket in Batam. We met last weekend when he visited me in Bandung. He gave me a lot of stuffs and he just like a Santa Claus, hahaha. He was in Bandung for 2 days only and we really have a good time together. Now he already back to Batam for working. I miss him so bad :(

So here is all the stuffs that my boyfriend gave me ^^

L to R, T to B: Cream Cheek #11 & #07, Cheek & Cheek  #04 & #03

Thank you so much to my boyfriend. I really love these, Darling :*

Thanks for reading and I will review them soon. I just haven't open it yet because it's too cute >.<

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter: 080 Strawberry Shortcake & 090 Sweet Tart

Hi Everyone, how is your day? I hope that you all doing fine ^^
I'm back to review my new lippy stuff, it's from Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter. As you know a lot of beauty blogger talk and review about this lippies. It makes me really curious to know about this lippies since they have a lot of good review out there. So I decide to try 2 shades from this line. I go to cosmetic shop here in Bandung, and they have complete tester (20 shades). Unfortunately, Peach Parfait and Tutti Fruity are OOS. So, I pick Strawberry Shortcake and Sweet Tart.

I like this lippies because they have great range of shades and almost all of the shades is wearable and look pretty on any skintone. This lip butter glides smoothly and moisturizing my lips. The pigmentation is sheer-medium but buildable so you can get the intensity that you want. I usually enough with 2 swipes. The moisturizing effect only last for 2 hours but it leaves stain on my lips just like another tinted lip balm that I have. There's a light scent of vanilla from this lippies which I like.

080 Strawberry Shortcake: Sheer pale pink with purple undertone. This looks great on my lips especially if I want to toned down my lips. It has slightly silver shimmer but it doesn't noticable at all.

090 Sweet Tart: Warm bright pink (?) that brighten up my face. This colour makes my brown eyes pop. With 2 swipes, I can get medium coverage but if I use 3 swipes, it looks like bright neon pink. Somehow this one reminds me of my Sleek blush in Flamingo. I love to wear this with simple eyes make up.

What I don't like from this product is that sometimes it leave white fine line on my lips and makes my lips dry after the moisture effect is gone. So if I want to re-apply I have to make sure that there's no residue from my dry lips or the colour will looks uneven. Scrubbing your lips or using lip balm before use this lip butter would be better. I would not recommend this lip butter to heal your dry/chapped lips.

I like the colourful plastick packaging with pattern on the surface. The cap has transparent top, so you can see your lip butter's colour inside.

Price: Rp 67.500,-

Repurchase: Maybe, because I think it's a little bit expensive for only 2.55 gr of product but I still wanna try another shades.

Made in U.S.A

Now for the swatches ^^

Lip on Lip Pure Lips

Hello everyone, how about your holiday? It must be so much fun and I hope you enjoy it with your family or with your beloved ones ^^

I’m very happy too because my boyfriend visited me in Bandung and we have so much fun together.

So now I’m gonna give you a review about my HG lipbalm. It’s called Lip on Lip Pure Lips. I got this a few months ago because I won a contest from Lip on Lip but I can’t remember at all about the contest >.<

When I recieve the gift, I’m a little bit sad because the lipbalm is already broken and tip of the lipbalm knocked the cap *sad*, but it doesn’t matter since it a gift, hehehehe...I keep using it carefully and I hope it won’t getting worse.

I really love this lipbalm because it makes my lips feel so soft, smooth, and it really moisturized my lips. I never felt a lipbalm like this before. This lipbalm is so watery. It doesn’t feel waxy or oily at all. This lipbalm give me fresh watery gloss on my lips. Really freshen up my looks and my lips looks healthy too! I have a lot of lipbalm but I found out that I reach this one the most. Oh, and I love the orange fragrance too. It smells so sweet like real orange candy. Even my little sister ask me if she can eat it, LOL! I love the looks and the result of this lipbalm on my lips.

This lipbalm is colorless but I love to wear it without add some lipstick on it because it brings the natural colour of my lips. But sometimes if want to put some lipstick, I apply this lipbalm first and let my lips absorb it for a few minutes and then I apply the lipstick. It helps to make the lipstick glides smoothly, evenly, and makes the colour looks more natural on my lips. Well, I have to say that I never leave home without this lipbalm and I love to bring it for travelling too.

The silver palstic packaging is pretty but it’s fragile. It cracks everywhere since I dropped it twice, hehehe... *sorry for the disturbing picture because I really forgot where I put the picture when the lipbalm still in good condition*

There’s one thing that I dislike about this lipbalm because it doesn’t last long on my lips. It only stays about 2 hours on my lips. But I definetly would love to repurchase again since I love the result from this lipbalm. I really recommend this lipbalm and it really worth a try ;)

This is the swatch on my lips *sorry for my weird lips*. What do you think? I took this picture when I'm waiting on the yard for my boyfriend to pick me up to go to Lembang to picking strawberries, YAY!

And I want to share a little memories with you when I picking strawberries ^^

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

NYX Round Lipstick: Haute Melon, Margarita, Indian Pink, B52

Hello followers, I’m so sorry I’ve been away from my blog lately. Does anyone miss me? LOL

So now I’m back to review NYX Round Lipstick. I probably the last person on earth who try NYX RL, hahaha...

There’s a lot of girl who already tried and made a review about this and it’s probably you are one of them. I only have 4 so far and I think I will order more of RL because I really fall in love with them. I’m not a lipstick person actually because I’m not confident enough if people staring at my lips so I usually only use lipbalm or lipgloss yet lipstick makes me look more mature and sometimes it makes me look like a little girl whose wearing her mom's lipstick.

But these days when I’m start working I decide to have lipstick collection and I decide NYX RL because they have a lot of shades to pick and the price is acceptable for me. I like their texture because it’s creamy and easy to apply yet the shades is beautiful on my lips. NYX RL makes me start addicted to lippies. I always apply lipbalm before I use them so the colour looks more natural and I don't want to take a risk that somehow they can dry up my lips.

So here's 4 of them that I have. From L-R: Haute Melon, Margarita, Indian Pink, B52

Now let's jump to the swatch =D

From T-B: Haute Melon, Indian Pink, Margarita, B52

Haute Melon: I was very surprise when I see this on tube. It looks so bright and scary. But when I apply this on my lips, it's beautiful. Sheer red with coral undertone. This one is not so creamy like the other. I don't know why.

Margarita: Pink with coral undertone and it has silver shimmer. It's frosty but looks great on me. Doesn't make me look sick. It gives creamy finish too. I found something weird about margarita, when I apply this after an hour, I found that my lips is exfoliate and makes my lips look uneven. It may contain exfoliate properties. Does anyone have same experience with me?

Indian Pink: Pretty peachy pink with golden shimmer. It's sheer and creamy. This one looks very natural on my lips. This shade similar with my bare lips but gives a hint of peach. Very natural looking ^^

B52: This one is make me surprise too. It looks very dark on the tube. Makes me freak out, hahaha. The I try to swatch it on my lips and...it's beautiful. Deep rosy shade with mauve undertone. Perfect for night event. This one is very creamy and pigmented. One swipe and it gives me opaque finish. Love it!

I read a lot of review said that NYX RL can melts easily on warm/hot weather because they're so creamy. So, be careful when you put this on your bag, gals. Some reviews said that NYX RL doesn't have good lasting power but for me, their lasting power is pretty good. Up to 4 hours without eating. Don't forget to exfoliate your lips before using this lippies because your dry skin lips can make this lippies hard to apply perfectly and make the colour uneven :(

NYX have about 144 beautiful shades and you can pick which one that will work for your skintone and undertone. I'm not really sure about my skintone because I never try MAC before but maybe around NC25 or NC27. I really recommend this lippies for you, gals.

The price may variative depends on the online shop. The price is around Rp 30.000 - Rp 40.000.

I have more than 10 shades to order next time, hahaha...what is your fave shades from NYX RL?

UPDATE! 24th Nov 2012

I made a lip swatch for this lippies =)
My camera wash out the colour because it suppose to be brighter IRL *sorry* but I hope these help.

Haute Melon
Bright coral-red (pretty shade but very bright on me)

Margarita
Coral-pink with silver shimmer (bright coral-pink on me)

Indian Pink

B52
