My Review : Lush, Laneige, Neogen, The Bath Box

Current Favorite Peeling and Exfoliating Mask


1. LUSH - Mask of Magnaminty
Cinta banget sama mask dari lush ini, teksturenya padat creamy dan ada butiran scrubnya. Butiran scrubnya itu sama sekali ga tajem, ga akan bikin muka jadi perih karena terkikis. Butirannya lembut tapi tetep membersihkan pori dan bikin muka jd halus banget. Si lush ini aman, ga akan bikin iritasi walaupun kita pake 2 hari sekali. Wanginya mint seger mirip seperti spearmint yah kalo menurut saya.

2. THE BATH BOX - Berrymint
Mask ini mirip banget sama lush mask of magnaminty, cuma ini versi lokalnya. Iyah ini produk dalam negeri loh, dan kualitasnya juga ga kalah sama si lush. Texturenya percis padat creamy bahkan warnanya pun sama, yang membedakan si jenis scrubnya. Scrub punya si berrymint ini agak lebih kasar jika dibanding scrubnya mask of magnaminty, tapi tetap tidak bikin iritasi di muka koq, tetep oke banget. Nah ada satu kelebihan si berrymint ini dibanding mask of magnaminty, sehabis pakai mask ini muka rasanya adem banget, kaya ada sensasi cool sejuk menyegarkan gitu dari ingredientsnya. Rasanya dingin kaya kita abis sikat gigi gitu, tapi ini berasa di seluruh muka.

3. LANEIGE - Clear C Peeling Mask
Si masker yang wanginya paling juara!! Serius masker-masker laneige itu wanginya enaaaaak banget, bikin suasana hati jadi adem cuma karena nyium wanginya. Texturenya si mask laneige ini agak lebih cair jika dibandingkan 2 masker diatas, ga terlalu padat creamy cuma kaya krim kental gitu. Kandungan scrubnya lebih mirip seperti lush mask of magnaminty. Tinggal dioles ke muka, diamkan 15 menit trus bilas sambil scrubnya digosok-gosok. Gosoknya yang wajar aja yah ga perlu pake tenaga dalam. Muka langsung lembut dan kinclong seketika. Oh iyah cara penggunaan untuk lush dan berrymint juga sama yah seperti laneige ini.

4. NEOGEN - Bio Peel Wine
Nah exfoliating mask yang ini bentuknya beda dari 3 mask diatas, dia isinya kapas yang direndam ke cairan peeling, jadi tidak mengandung butiran scrubs. 1 jar itu isinya 30 pads, tapi karena mukaku kecil setiap kali pake saya gunting jadi setengah pads, cukup untuk si muka kecil ini, irit kan yah jadinya bisa buat 60 kali pake. Wow!! Haha. Cara pakainya dengan menggosokkan sisi pads yang kasar ke muka, jadi setiap pads itu ada 2 sisi bolak balik, 1 sisi kasar, 1 sisi lembut. Pertama kita pakai sisi kasar dl, gosok-gosok pelan-pelan jangan pakai tenaga dalam yah, setelah merasa sudah kena semua seluruh muka baru dibalik pakai sisi lembutnya buat mengangkat semua kotoran yang sudah digosok sebelumnya. Setelah itu bilas deh pakai air. Oh ya si wine ini wanginya juara!! Kaya wangi jus anggur, beneran bikin pengen ngejilat deh wanginya. Udah wangi, bikin muka super lembut juga loh. Kalian harus banget coba ini!!

5. NEOGEN - Bio Peel Lemon
Untuk yang lemon saya tidak akan menjelaskan panjang lebar karena semuanya sama dengan yang wine, cuma beda di fungsi aja, yang wine untuk anti aeging sedangkan yang lemon untuk brightening. Wanginya?? Ini juga seger banget kaya jus lemon.

Notes from me : 5 mask diatas jangan dipakai tiap hari apalagi dipakai bersamaan yah, karena semua fungsinya sama untuk mengangkat sel kulit mati. Biasa saya pakai seminggu 2-3x saja di selang seling per harinya dengan hydrating mask or clay/mudmask. Tiap hari saya maskeran?? Jawabannya iya!! Jangan males maskeran, yang saya rasain sih kulit improve banget karena masker. Contoh jadwal dalam seminggu, ini misalnya yah, ga pasti tiap minggu saya begini, misal senin dan kamis pakai exfoliating/peeling mask, selasa dan jumat pakai hydrating mask, rabu sheet mask, minggu clay/mud mask. Koq pake clay mask cm seminggu sekali? Yes karena kulit saya sekarang normal to dry, sedangkan clay mask itu kan mengangkat oil and sebum, pakai keseringan takutnya bikin makin kering. Jadi ya sesuaikan aja pemakaian mask dengan jenis kulit kalian masing-masing. Kalau yang oily yah pakai clay mask seminggu 2 kali, diatur sendiri aja. Ini semua cuma berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi yah, saya bukan ahlinya juga. Semoga teori saya ini cocok juga di kalian :)

My Review : SKII Facial Treatment Essence

Browsing, googling, baca review beauty bloggers ttg si facial treatment essence (fte) ini... Semua ngomong magic water.. Gmn ga tertarik??? Tertarik banget gue pgn nyoba.. Asliiiii... Tp banyak jg yg review pake produk skii banyak yg rash n ga cocok... serem jg sih, tp gua pikir kan skincare cocok2an, di org laen cocok blon tentu di gua cocok, begitu jg sebaliknya di org laen ga cocok bkn berarti di gua ga cocok..

Akhirnya gua memutuskan coba n pertama beli si fte ini yg size paling kecil... About 70ml ato 75ml deh lupa... Sekitar segituan, dgn harga IDR 660k kalo ga salah... Daaaaaaan... Jeng jeng jeng... Ohhhh is really a magic water!!!!!! Diantara semua skincare2 yg gua beliiii... Yg bener2 kerasa banget improvenya ya si fte iniiii... Lgs cinta mati bener2 cant live without... Sebelum pake ini di forehead gua selalu ada whitehead, bkn jerawat sih, tp yah ada aja beruntus kecil2 ky keringet buntet... Struggling gue ngilangin tu bruntus ga bs2, emg ga terlalu menggangu sih krn ketutup poni jg, tp yes I hate it... Akhirnya setelah seminggu apa 2 minggu pake iniiiii... Ilang semuaaaa muluuuus kinclooong ga ada lg tuh bruntus2 kecil di dahiii.... Gmn ga cinta matiiiiiii??? Wkwkwkwkw... Udah bener2 cant live without deh... Gua lbh baik ga pake moosturizer drpd ga pake ini... Lebaaay yah... Wkwkwkw... Tp bener this is my holy grail essence... Gua demen banget nyoba2 brand skincare, bosen jg kalo udah pake 1 abis untuk mengulang lg kynya jarang, pasti pgn nyoba yg brand lain lg.. Tp khusus ini... Gamau gantiiii... Im stuck with this magic water... Lalalalaaaaa

Dan ngomong2 soal harga... Yes its pricey... Tp menurut gua ga mahal2 amat koooq... Soalnya pakenya irit juga... Sekali pake cukup 2-3 tetes untuk semua muka... Iriiiit n abisnya jg lama kok... oh iyah pakenya lgs ke tgn rrus templok muka, jgn pake kapas baru templok muka ky pake toner.. sayang kalo pake kapas kebuang di kapas... Gak relaaa... Ahahaha... Oh iyah begitu pake ini jg udah ga nagih2 pgn facial... Double irit kan?? Sekali facial jg brp?? Itung aja misalnya sekali facial 300rb.. Bayangin 6bln facial sama pake fte ini... Jauuuuuh lbh irit pake fte ini kaaaaan... Btw fte yg size kecil gua pake bs lbh dr 6bln loh kmrn... Facial 6bln udah bs dpt fte yg big size 215ml... Itu bs buat setaun setengah loooooh.... Jd kalo dibilang mahal yah ngga jg sih mnrt gua.. Hihi...


Ini penampakan si magic water ituuu... Br repurchasing lg kmrn, minta sample ke BAnya all fte miniiii... Gua bilang, mba ga usah sample aneh2 deh, cleansing oil, cleansing gel, facial cleanser gua gamauuuu, maunya fte aja semuaaaa.... Wkkwkwkwkw... Itu samplenya 10ml per botol... Jd ada 5botol berarti 50ml kaaaan.... Udah mirip ky dpt fte yg size 75 ml doooonk... Syalalalalaa..... 

Cinta banget sama produk 1 ini... Cant live without... So buat yg pny masalah di mukanya... Wajib coba iniiiii... Tapiiiii kalo ga cocok jgn nyalahin gue yah, krn ini cocok di muka gua.. And the result is amazing for me.. Hope same in yours too.. ;))

Belated happy 34th birthday to my other half

Happy birthday papih sayaaaank... Ah dia gakan baca jg pasti... Wkwkwkkw.. Be healthy always, success always, and lovable is a must!! Pokonya all the very best.. Love u most...
Ga bs ngerayain tepat di hari H, secara lg ga ada babysitter, sebel jg... Tp yasudahlah apa mau dikateee... Keluar repot jg bw anak2 krn masi ada si unyil baby finn, diundur yah papiiiih... Hihi

Ngm2 soal marriage.. Ternyata marriage itu buat sebagian org hal yg menakutkan yah, br sadar aja ternyata untuk sebagian org semenakutkan itu yah, takutnya krn takut salah memilih pasangan hidup... Is he the one?? Mnrt gua.. Knp harus dibikin rumit sih yah?? Intinya pertama banget nget nget yg penting ada cinta kasih antara pasangan.. Kedua buat gua yg penting dia bs nerima keburukan2 gua, kalo kelebihan sih semua jg bs nerima, itu anggaplah bonus sajaaaah... Kalo ada yg mikir nyari suami pengen yg gini gitu gini gitu... Nobody's perfect dear... Jgn nuntut kebanyakan pgn pny suami gini gitu gini gitu, berkacalah sendiri lu bakal jd isteri yg gini gitu gini gitu ga.... Kalo gua sih gamau banyak nuntut krn gua jg gamau dituntut hrs gini gitu... Prince charming never exist, but I have a man who can love me for who I am and accept me with every bad habbit I have, and never demand anything... Is more than enough... Kurang apa lg?? I can be me when Im with him... Gua ga perlu berubah jd org lain setelah married, abis married itu ketemunya tiap detiiiik 24/7... Lu siap pake topeng terus?? Gua sih gak siap... Jd jgn banyak nuntut pgn dpt suami yg gini gitu deh, make it simple aja... Selama si pria pny tanggung jawab, ada kasih sayang, nerima kita apa adanya and yg paling penting seiman... Ya he's the one and only...

Read this.. Works well on me...

Dedicated to all mom n dad who have toddlers..
Always remember this when your child makes you angry..
This sayings will lower your anger n higher your patience :)



I won’t always cry ‘mommy’ when you leave the room,
and my supermarket tantrums will end too soon..
I won’t always wake, daddy, for cuddles through the night,
and one day you’ll miss having a chocolate face to wipe..
You won’t always wake to find my foot kicking you out of bed,
or find me sideways on your pillow where you want to lay your head..
You won’t always have to carry me in asleep from the car,
or piggy back me down the road when my legs can’t walk that far..
So cherish every cuddle, remember them all..
Because one day, mommy, I won’t be this small..

2 kids is more than enough

Got this article from my friend... Love this article.. That is so true...

Here's the article below from a mom (name Meredith Gordon) of 2's point of view.. More kids?? Heck NO!!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/meredith-gordon/more-kids-heck-no_b_2808302.html

Strangers love to talk to me about my ovaries. In particular, strangers seem to have a regular hankering to discuss my high functioning ovaries. That is to say, everyone I've never met wants to know if I'm going to have more kids.

At the park, a nanny I've never met may say, "Your children are so beautiful, why you only have two?" as if I'm below my child-bearing quota.


A UPS man delivering packages to a house that isn't mine will yell from across the street, "Have more kids so your boy and girl have someone to play with." My kids have 42,000 toys, but that's not enough. Now, I have to get them another person.


Or a teacher on her way to teach at a school that my kids do not go to may roll down her windows at a stop light to tell me, "Wouldn't it be great to have just one or two more?"


It's all I can do restrain myself from yelling, "F*ck no!"


There are a lot of things I want more of, but children are not one, two, or three of them.


Which I've come to learn, you're not supposed to say outloud.


When I tell people I don't actually want more children (let's put aside how rude it is for people I've never met to feel the need to stream-of-conciousness with me their ideas for the future of my family,) they look at me like I've just said the most horrible thing.


When you tell people you don't want more children, they look at you like you hate children -- in particular your own.


So for the record, I don't want any more children. And the reason I don't want more children, is because I love the two I have. I know how to do a good job for them. I don't know how to do a good job for more.

To me, being thoughtful about my own limitations seems like good parenting. But somehow, there's a notion out there that parents are supposed to like every aspect of parenting -- so much so that we want to keep on doing it over and over until the doctor or our spouse says, "No."

Honestly, I don't like all aspects of parenting. I think admitting that makes me a better parent. I kind of couldn't stand the "infant stage," which isn't to say I couldn't stand my infant. But say that aloud and a hush falls over the room, worse than if you say you think Britney Spears is a model parent.

People seem to have a hard time separating the idea of being a parent from loving their children. There's nothing about my children I don't love -- temper tantrums, ear infections, farts and all. But do I love going to the park? F*ck, no. It's boring, I get sand all in my everywhere and I always feel out of the loop on the latest Lord of the Flies rules that everyone else seems to know.

Do I love sleeping less than prisoners of war? Hell, no. I'm tired. Have a nightmare during the day, Kidoo. That's when I'm alert, supportive, and not trying to sleep.

Did I like sleep training, swaddling, onesies, baby Bjorns, lugging car seats around and spending the duration of my time out to dinner outside the restaurant chasing my kid? F*ck, no.

So I'm not going to do it again.

Because I've got a two-year-old and a five-year-old. That means my big one is well into the "Here's an ipad. Now don't cry for the rest of flight" stage of life. My little one is a year or two away. That means there's vacations in my future, ones where I actually get to feel like I'm on vacation, too. Not working harder than I do at home.

There's freedom in my future. My family is getting more flexible, which to me is more fun.

My little is one is on her way to saying, "Hello undies, goodbye diapers." And my big one is about to have his first sleepover and is learning to ride a bike. I like the stage we're in. My kids need stuff and they need me, all the time. They're just not quite as needy as an infant, which is exactly what I need.

My best friend Kari called me the other day. (Totally not giving her a fake name -- while having her three children, she got a Ph.D, educated the youth of Stanford, and managed to be the Fundraising Gala Mom at her kiddo's school. So, she doesn't really need to go inblognito.) "My baby isn't napping," she said. "So I'm taking him with me to the mall. Call me." When her kids don't nap, Kari goes to run errands. When my kids don't nap, I go to therapy.

Some people are cut out for lots of kids, some aren't.

Parents with one kid must look at those of us with two like we're nuts. And those who chose not to have any kids at all, must look at us all like we're out of our minds. And maybe we are.

Having kids is a tough job for all the obvious reasons. But it's also the only job you'll ever sign up for where you have to be good at every aspect, even stuff you don't know how to do. A doctor isn't expected to also be a fabulous painter. A lawyer isn't expected to be a really good baker. But, a Mom has to be good at everything.

Some people love that infant stage. They want to sit for hours on end with a baby sleeping on their lap. I tried that. I always had to pee. Or, my limbs went numb hour two into the nap. Or, I wanted to take a nap too.

In our "bigger is better" world, maybe a bigger family isn't always better. Sure, I love the idea of my four grown kids coming home from college and filling my house with joy. But how the f*ck am I paying for all that college? And how many times did I have to go the park to get there? So, I'm fairly certain my kids will have friends and they'll fill my house with noise and dirty laundry and chaos.

And it will be wonderful.

It just won't be permanent.
