Baviphat make up eraser review

Make up eraser? interesting! specially for me who is not expert in appying eye liner and sometimes still made a mistake. When i saw the pre order list, i was confused to choose between this  or tony moly. Tony moly also got something like this. But i chose baviphat because of the cheaper price anyway.
So what is this? it's a pen eraser to help you correct some mistake. Apply on area that need make up correction to partially remove make up.
from izakkaya.com;
Product Description
You can use it at any point in your makeup application to simply erase those mistakes!
Remove unwanted smudges and smears and even waterproof makeup!

i like the idea.  with this i don't need to panic when the eye liner or mascara smudges, no need for cotton bud and some remover to erase it.

Ok now i'll give you the details

the shape, the look is just like a white board marker. The tip of it, when you apply or rub to your skin you can feel there's a liquid which is a make up remover i think/

product test.. i drew a line with pencil eye liner (left) and gel eye liner (right).

applied the make up eraser pen on top of the line. as you can see the line started to dissapear. just continue rub it a little

and.. done!

what i think about this,
well, it saved me many times! mascara, eye liner, no need to worry anymore because everytime i made mistake or smudge this saved me! i remember last time i was in hurry for wedding and when i applied mascara, i blinked so it was smudge all over. Then i used this pen and voila! only some seconds and i corrected everything. My friend who was with me at that time was surprised and asked what i did. so i think this is a keeper. It's something that i will repurchase when i finish this. It's almost a year since i purchased this and still work fine and not dry out until now.

skin care sample review : The saem Thalasso beaute Revital collagen toner and emulsion

The saem? This is new to me! how about you? i started noticed this brand from last year when i purchased some korean skin care @iheartkoreanbeauty. and she gave me this sample for free. yeaaayyy.. so the one i got is the saem thalasso beaute revital collagen toner and emulsion. comes in very small tiny bottle, but i'm happy to try.

The thing is, it's hard to find the information about this. i have been google for the last 15 minutes to find any information, but all i can find all in korean, even gmarket or ebay seller who carry this brand have no much information. so i'm clueless, and i'll just tell you my experience with this set.

First, the toner..
the first time i applied the toner on my face.. there's this scent.. it smells like organic stuff.. smells so natural. can't describe more about the scent. The toner is moisturising, not the type that will give you cool feeling or something with alcohol. the texture is thicker than other toner. anyway, i fell in love with the toner straightaway. it moisturized my face straghtaway and smoothen my face too! i'm impressed.

then the emulsion..
although it's an emulsion, it is realllly rich.. same scent like the toner, and the texture is between regular emulsion and cream. thicken than other korean emulsion i have, but not that thick like a cream. it absorb easily, and it's really great moisturiser. i don't even need to apply another cream at night. wait. there's some more. it's also good base for bb cream too!! when i applied this before the bb cream, at first i though it gave a white cast, but after some minutes it turned out to brighten my face. reaaallly love the effect it gave for my skin!!

so.. overall.. i really impressed!! The saem gave me a gooood first impression that made me want to look more about the product. and i did searched, woaaa... they have cute packaging and products too!! is there indonesian seller carry this brand? i would love to try more!

eye make up review : etude house line nuance duo

This is an eye make up from etude house, line nuance duo. last year i was impressed with etude house code B gel eye liner, so i decided to try more eye make up product from etude house. I chose this one, and i', so glad i did!!
So what is this? It's a duo function of eye liner and eye shadow. the left one is the eye liner and the right one is eye shadow. There are 4 colours to choose :

i chose number 2, which is brown colour for the eye liner and peachy-light brown for the shadow.
To give you more information about this line duo, here are some pictures from etude house;

 

how to use :

 My experience with etude house line nuance duo

now let's take a look closer of my etude house line nuance duo;

the closer look for the liner. it's the crayon type, not pencil. no need for sharpener. it's soft and easy to apply. i feel in love straightaway! first i was just using it for my eye lid, but then i tried to use it for my under eye too and i looooove it. it gave natural look, not too much like when you use liquid or gel eye liner.

closer look for the shadow. it's like an eye shadow tip but with colour. easy to apply, the colour also nice with a shimmer but not too overpowering. the colour is soft and natural look, not too showing on my eye lid.. i think i gotta try other colours..

the swatch, left : liner and right: shadow. as you can see, the eye shadow colour is pale and not really showing on the skin.

i always use this almost everytime i go out. i really like it specially for natural and everyday look. i'm even thinking to buy another one, different colour if i get a chance to visit etude house on my next visit to Jakarta.

if you live in china.. or ever been to china.. please help

dear all..

i'm planning to travel to china next month,, actually we are not going for holiday or travel. it's my husband's bussiness trip and he will take me. We will visit shanghai, xiamen and maybe guang zhou. I have no idea where to go, specially when my husband spend his day working, i would be wondering alone. and that's why i need your help!!!

if you live in china or ever been to china, please suggest recommended place to go, or a nice mall to hang out, nice place to shop (with good bargain price, not designer label/brand with expensive tag).

and as a korean cosmetics fan, i was wondering if i could visit korean stores that not available in indonesia like holika holika, innisfree, and baviphat. i tried to search on the net about the store location in china but i couldn't find it. if you know, please tell me.

many many thanks.,

will wait for your answer girls...

skin care review : baviphat fruit therapy samples part 2

On my previous post here i wrote about Baviphat strawberry toxifying mask, apple all in one peeling gel and apple ac therapy sleeping pack. I still have some of baviphat fruit therapy samples, so today i will review them!

first..Baviphat mango steam scrub

what is this? (Mango Steam Cleanses pores and exfoliates) Pores are gently warmed with relaxing mango steam and opens for deep cleansing. Natural scrub to remove old skin cells, blackheads and excessive sebum. Regular use for healthy pores and smooth skin. [ Key Ingredients and Benefits ] Mango Extract : elminates dirt for crystal-clear skin tone, increases skin elasticity, brightening effect 
I read some reviews about this on some beauty bloggers, and many of them said that this scrub will turn hot as you rub it on your face, so becareful of that burning sensation. well, how is it for me?

my experience with baviphat mango steam scrub

first, it smells delicious! it smells like a mango jelly.. so sweet and yummy. love it...
the texture :

the texture is this creamy jell with some tiny scrubs.
So the first time i tried, i applied this scrub on my wet face, then rub and massage gently. i was prepared for the surprise of burning or hot feeling on my skin, but turned out i didn't feel that. Then i wash it off with water, and by the time i pat dry with towel, i started to feel the sensation. i felt my face warmed up. woaa,, why i got this effect late? lol but anyway it didn't hurt or burn feeling and didn't last long so it was ok for me.
The second time i tried this, i applied on dry skin. As i massaged gently, it turned warm! not hot, just warm but some might feel discomfort with that specially those with sensitive skin, could feel like burning i think. and then i washed it off with water, and that's it. it's easy and quick step one.
The result?
well, sorry to say that the result is not visible. I didn't feel much effect like brighten, super soft or super moisturised after using this. it felt just like a facial foam with scrubs. or maybe i should use this continuesly to see result, i don't know. for me it's just a nice sample from Baviphat but i will not buy the full size of this.


Next is..Baviphat lemon white sleeping pack

what is this? An overnight mask formulated with Vitamin C rich lemon extract suppresses melanin formation and prevent hyper-pigmentation. Arbutin then hastens skin whitening for a fairer complexion with beautifully even skin tone. Uniformly apply mask on cleansed skin before going to bed. Wash off in the morning. Regular use of sleeping mask diminishes the appearance of dark spots and freckles.

my experience with baviphat lemon white sleeping pack

First, it smells sweet with a hint of lemon or citrus. the scent of lemon is not too strong, in fact by the time i applied this on my face the scent dissapeared and turned into just like normal unscent lotion.
the texture..

 it's a creamy gel-like, easy to apply, it felt smooth on my face.
i think this one is similar with the baviphat apple as therapy sleeping pack. Not superb product, but quite nice, it's just like a night cream for me. it kept my face moisturised during the night. and of course i can't comment on whitening effect since i only have samples.


and then,,Baviphat peach all in one waterfull cream

what is this? A multi-functional skin treatment minimizes pore size, brightens complexion and steeps skin with generous moisture, with a single application. Rich and refreshing cream is packed with vitamin C rich extracts that help whiten and brighten skin. Gently massage cream on cleansed and toned skin until fully absorbed. By Baviphat. - With Beta-Glucan which can help to keep the skin moisture & elastic. 

my experience with Baviphat peach all in one waterfull cream

it also smells delicious! it smells like a jelly.. peach jelly maybe? 
the texture..

a transparant creamy gel. easy to apply and feels smooth on the skin.
Overall, this peach cream remind me of skin food vita c cream for the texture, effect and the feeling on my skin, and tony moly multi play cream for the function as all in one or multi purpose cream.
I applied this at night as a night cream, and i really like it. A LOT. it moisturised my skin really well and smoothen my skin too. i like this cream. For this year i have ordered the skin food steam milk cream but maybe next year or in the future when i need an extra cream, i might get this one.


and the last but not least..baviphat peach all in one peeling gel

what is this? A multi-functional skin treatment exfoliates dead skin cells, minimizes pore size and brightens complexion with a single application. Peeling gel is packed with vitamin C rich peach extracts to whiten and brighten skin.

my experience with baviphat peach all in one peeling gel

first, it smells fresh, sweet,, a hint of peach? not too peachy in my opinion. well, i think all baviphat products in this line they all smells sweet and delicious.. just what i like.
so this is another peeling gel from baviphat. for me it's just same like the apple peeling gel, what makes it different is only the scent. as for the effect  i don't feel the difference.

so... that's it for my baviphat samples. From this post my favourite is the peach all in one waterfull cream.
But overall, all this baviphat fruit line are cute products, from packaging and the scent. the effect some are just so so, but some are good, like the peach all in one waterfull cream and strawberry toxifying mask. so, if you are interested to try, just try it. or just ask for samples.

hair care review : Putri hair mask spa

Putri hair mask spa? i know... it might be not a famous product for you all.. well, in fact it's new for me too! i have no idea what kind of product this is.. (yup.. another random product i bought). Well, a little bit story behind this, it was on 2011 when i went to Pasar mayestik to buy makarizo shampoo and l'oreal hair spa. When i bought L'oreal hair spa, the seller offered me this. He said that this one smells just like l'oreal. and this one is cheap. only rp.30.000, while l'oreal  Rp.90.000. Tempted, so i bought both l'oreal and this.

So what is this product anyway?

it's a hair mask with shea butter, grape seed, and colour protection agents to help protect the hair and make the hair shine, healthy and strong.
how to use : after shampoo and towel dried, apply on the hair and wait for 15 minute, wash off with water.

so i think the difference between this and hair creambath cream, this one is a mask, no need to massage, just apply evenly on your hair and wait. just like a face mask.

The packaging is this plastic big tube contain 240ml.

there is another plastic cap inside..

the product inside.. isn't it look like body scrub?

my experience with putri hair mask spa

So, when i first opened the packaging, first thing to do is of course to smell it, and woaa.. the seller was right. it smells very similar like l'oreal hair spa. smells nice!!!
I'm a lazy type to wash my hair first, apply, wait, and back to shower. so what i did was just applied it on my dry hair before shower. What happened was my hair getting harden like i was using a hair spray on my hair. and the big thing is that it seems like it somehow stimulated my hair to fall. i saw lots of hair fall as i applied this on my hair. as i reached the end of my hair, there was lots of hair fall stuck on my hand. oh noooooooo
But it's a little bit different when i did it on my wet hair after shampoo. it didn't cause hair fall that much.

anyway, the result after i washed it off with water is that my hair became smooth and easy to comb and also smells good. But i don't think i will repurchase this one as my hair fell a lot during the process. so i think i will just stick to l'oreal or makarizo.

my latest haul from local shop

Last week i went to a new mall in the city. I was looking for a nose pore pack and yeaaayyy i found it! why i said yeaaaayy? because in this city it's hard to find it. there's no biore brand nose pore pack, and beauty shop or cosmetic shops her are local with some inported stuff randomly from all around the world. So i found the nose pore pack, and i'm also glad that i found sheet masks.
Ok this id for the details and some short review :

Ok, this one is the nose pore pack. the name of the brand is.... Touch me please nose pore cleansing strips green tea. There are 2 variants, green tea and aloe vera. This one made in korea. But i think this one is special customized to distributr in arab countries, since there's some information written in arabic too.

Last night i tried the green tea one, and woaaaa,,, it superbs! the result, it took out all my white heads including those stuborn, fat big one. i'm totally happy with the result.

Next is.. mask sheets! I bought all variants available in the market... it's a random buy i know.. but it's hard to find mask sheets here so i just bought them. The name of this product is miss beauty and it's made in china. the variants are snail,cucumber, apricot, cactus, wheat protein, grape yogurt, strawberry and pomegranate. So yup, there is snail mask! snail is booming lately in korean cosmetic industry so i want to try it too!! anyway, this mask sheet cost 200 YR each or around 12.000 rupiah

the first one i tried is.. the snail one of course.
When i first taking out the mask from the packaging, i noticed that the mask is not too wet and there's no liquid left inside the packaging. I put it on my face, and it dry out very quickly. and after awhile i felt my face itchy so i just took it off. i don't know was it the snail or the mask itself that wasn't good for me. because just after i took it off, i saw some zits right away.. woooaaa,, i was freakin out! but then the next morning my face turned out ok, no zits or any other effect. fiuuuuuuhhh.. thank God.. i still have many variants... i will try to see is it the snail extract or all the masks not good for me.

last but not least... the dove shampoo and conditioner. i felt my hair became more rough and tangled these days,, and after i used this dove shampoo and conditioner, my hair improved right away. it feels softer and less tangled. yeaaayyy

ok, that's all for this haul. can't wait to travel to jakarta for more shopping!
