Packaging

The bottle is quite heavy because it is made from glass. I like how the bottle feels, it feels expensive :p. The pump mechanism also easy to use and works just fine. It contains about 60 ml products and the price is about Rp. 323.000,- at Althea. I think the price is a bit expensive for the quantity of the products that maybe last for 6-7 months maybe for me? I didn’t even use it every day :(. I guess it will be less than 6 months to emptied this essence if I use this day and night every day. 

Claim

Loved by women across Asia, Laneige's signature moisturizing essence awakens natural moisturizing agents in the skin for 24-hour moisturized skin and smoother skin texture. Moisturizing essence that can keep skin hydrated up to 24 hours while improving skin's texture.

It seems that this product also helps to reduce skin sebum which they also provide these photos below which I don’t really feel happening, maybe I need to check them using the skin scanner thing-y (that scanner that they always have whenever there are any beauty exhibition)?

So, the upper photo is the skin before using this essence and the below one is the after using photo.

They also put up a chart about how the moisture change after some hour. That’s neat :D even though I can’t say that it’s true because I can’t test it. It definitely needs lab check if you are curious to know.   

Why does our skin always dry?

Laneige claim that Asian women have skin that can easily lose moisture and become dry because their skin barriers are generally weaker than other ethnicities. They found out the solution by looking into the minerals within the skin. Hydro-ion mineral water has small, quickly ionized minerals to controls moisture within the skin. With its three-layer moisturizing effect, Ion mineral will keep your skin moisturized from deep within.

So What is Hydro-ion Mineral Water?

Natural Ion Mineral is extracted from the super food quinoa, a grain with a seven thousand year cultivation history. This mineral complex penetrates deep within the skin and restores the atrophied lubricating genes of dry skin sufferers to moisture the skin and strengthen the skin barrier to protect against the loss of moisture.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Glycereth-26, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Dimethicone, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Tribehenin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, Magnesium Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Calcium Chloride, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Tillandsia Usneoides Extract, Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Fruit Extract, Dimethiconol, Betaine, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Carrageenan, Phenyl Trimethicone, Propylene Glycol, PCA Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance.

Their Secret Ingredients

Which why does they call it secret if they tell us the ingredients, just call it the Recipe then :|. 

Hydro Ion Mineral Water

Infused with 6 ionized moisturizing minerals that play a role in regulating skin moisture, it swiftly penetrates the skin to activate natural moisturizing genes in the skin.

Quinoa extracts

Quinoa has been a food source for mankind for the past seven thousand years. It is also known to protect the skin from dryness and damage.

Natural olive oil

Micro-sized botanical oil particles absorb quickly into the skin to reinforce the lipid barrier in the epidermis to help retain moisture and smoothen the skin texture.

Tillandsia extract

Rich in betaine, a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that plays an important role in hyaluronic acid synthesis in the dermis.

Texture & Does it Work

The texture does resemble how emulsion texture looks like. It is not creamy nor runny, it felt light-weight and this is the moisturizer texture that I love before using my makeup. I’ve never liked to use any cream under my makeup, it will make my makeup heavy and oily easily. Especially because I live in Indonesia that is really humid and hot. It is strange that my face will not get oily if I’m not using any products on it. Actually, my skin type is dry like very dry that I can’t use any concealer under my cushion even the liquid one. I always have problem with having flaky skin and sensitive skin. So, this essence does a very good job because it makes my face moisturized and very supple. Usually I used about three pumps of this products before using any sunblock. 

Every time I apply it to my face, I can’t get enough touching my cheeks (are there people like me who can’t get enough touching their cheeks because it is so supple and soft? No? It’s only me? Okay :(). It also feels very cold especially if you put it on cold temperature room. I like to use them whenever I get redness on my face too, they work wonder for that job. My face looks a lot better than before (it reduce the redness). They also help with my skin condition, because my face never got so dry again anymore that they are peeling and really sting (my dry skin really is in worse condition before using this essence). I really enjoy using this product and I recommend it to you guys that need some moisture booster because this product works great for me. Thank God my boyfriend getting me one bottle for backup if this runs out. I guess the essence does run out quickly unlike my expectation.

For a note, I don’t think that this moisturizer will moisturized your face until 24 hours. But, I do think it is still one of the best moisturizer out there that you’ll need to try. At least it kept my face moisturized for half a day. You only need to apply them about two times a day, just be careful, it will run out very soon LOL.

5/5

I’ve never tried any moisturizer that is light-weight but makes my face supple like this <3. Definitely repurchase if I run out already. Please do recommend me some moisturizer products to try. I can’t have enough moisturizer in life, so please do recommend me if you got a good one!

See you at next post, girls! XOXO!

Hi beauties, today I want to review about this product called Etude House Color My Brows in Rich Brown Color. It is a product which helps to color your whole brows into the color that you’d like. This product is old stuff and so many people already reviewing this product. But I’ve never tried to change my eye brows color though. I’m worried that the brow will be too light for my hair color. But, after some time, because my original eyebrow shape is thick and look bold, I need to make it more soften and doesn’t look like I’m going to night party and there you go, that is why I buy this product. Shall we review it now? :DD

Packaging

The tube looks very similar with every ordinary standard mascara out there. There is also expired date printed on it, so do not worry about the date :D. The price is about Rp. 65.000,- and it contains 0.15 oz/ 17g. The Clio one is more expensive than this Etude one, but for the price it is already great for me <3. There isn’t anything more for me to comment about the packaging and any details about it, so let’s follow on.

Ingredients

WATER, METHYL TRIMETHICONE, TALC, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, ACRYLATES/STEARYL ACRYLATE/DIMETHICONE METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER, VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, DISTEARDIMONIUM HEC

Swatch and Textures

The color is very thin and suitable for people who doesn’t like big changes on their eyebrow. The formula is also very light and very quick to dry. I surely do not want the color to smear everywhere if it doesn’t dry quickly LOL. It also covers up the eyebrow hair very nicely and doesn’t look weird at all, it looks natural <3. Even my boyfriend doesn’t find anything differ with my eyebrow. I wonder if it’s just us who are expert at natural no makeup-makeup or is it the boys who can’t see any changes from our face :/. Anyway for us girls, we do know that it is different and it helps soften your eyebrow color. 

It also helps in some way to make your hair stay in place. Sometimes our hair can change into how it original goes toward after some time and that’s why we brush it to a right place, right? Oh and also the applicator is quite long like your standard mascara. If you’d like short applicator for precise application, try the Clio one or go big on Benefit one :DD.

I usually used my Drawing eye brow first to create a frame. Then i put on the Color my brows to change my eyebrow color completely. The rest is filling my eyebrows with Skinfood Choco eyebrow powder cake which smells like chocolate <3. Do you think i need to create another post to show you how I did my eyebrows? Please comment down below. I also put on the brow products that i usually used for my eyebrow routine below.

Anyway, they have 5 colors and for sure you can find your match color from this range of selection. The Rich Brown looks perfect for my hair and makes me looks more young a bit. Korean says that the lighter your eye brow color, the more youthful you will look. And I do feel the same, but it doesn’t make that big difference LOL.

Scent

Scent also same like any ordinary mascara, not that pleasing. But it doesn’t irritate me, because you can’t sniff anything from your eye brow :p. And it is not so strong too.

Before - After

(Great! I don't look that scary anymore after turning my brow to brown :p)

4/5

Even though I have no hates relationship for this product, I still wanted to try another product. Is the price range really worth the money? I wanted to try the Clio one so bad :(. So, I will talk to you guys if I have tried that or tried another brow product worth mentioning again ^^. 4/5 would be sufficient for now :DD.

Thanks for taking time to read this blog post. I hope my review are informative for you guys. Please do not bother to ask me question, sometimes I forgot to mention something in my review. So, it will be helpful if you guys have any question about the product itself. Ah, please do tell me if you have favorites brow products, that would be nice too <3. Anyway, thanks for joining me here, see you at next post!! XOXO!!

Hi beauties <3, today I’d like to review this toner from a brand that is hyped now. Yes, it is from COSRX and I have heard a bunch of good reviews about them and it makes me curious to find out how good their products are. They are quite affordable and I wondered if my sensitive skin can handle them. Usually affordable products make me scared honestly especially for their skincare products. I’m worried if they put alcohol or some irritating ingredients into it. I’ve tried numeral products from road shop that is quite affordable but it irritates my face. And no, not all of the people using it have irritation because of the product. In fact, there are people who loves Wonder Pore Toner from Etude House for an example (I guess it depends on how is their skin condition is). For my case, I don’t understand why my skin can’t handle it and I can smell some alcohol substance in it. I do research for it and yes the Wonder Pore toner contains alcohol, so maybe that’s why my sensitive skin can’t handle that toner. But, some people love it, so it depends on you to choose which product suits you the best.

And here I find toner from COSRX that is affordable and maybe safe for sensitive skin like me because it contains no alcohol. It is Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner. I wonder if this toner can change my toner products from Innisfree which I haven’t change for ages (I already used up about 4 bottle of the Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner, it's like my holy grail). So yeah, let’s review this toner <3!!

Packaging

The bottle is from plastic and it is not a problem because it is affordable. And I really like the sprayer on it, because I can handle how much products that I want to use. Usually I pour too much to the cotton pad and it is not that I hate it (because sometimes you really don’t need to cut off the toner amount). But sometimes, it becomes a problem when I want to use it on skin without cotton pad (when you are so lazy and do not have time to grab that cotton pad). And this spray system really helps that problem, I only need to spray them couple times and just tap it like how we use mist.

It contains about 150 ml product in it and the price is about Rp. 165.000,- at Hermo which I recommend to try to get yours at Althea, because the price is more affordable there, about Rp. 140.000,- if I’m not wrong :p. But keep in mind, Althea takes more time for shipping than Hermo.    

"I can't read korean but here, if anyone wants to see any details from the box"

But, somehow it bothers me when I want to soak my cotton pad because I have to spray it so many times. Yep, so many demands from this girl hahah :p. I hope there is a new packaging that can solve both of this demands though.

Claim

Galactomyces ferment is an advanced antioxidant that helps to softening, smoothing, and enhancing lustre. 

“Tired skins awakens with fermentation, without any alcohol”

Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner is made up to fermented component with a structure similar to skin, helping with calming, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin. It is formulated with the best yeast for the skin, which is Galactomyces filtered & fermented ingredient, endowing the dark, dull skin with glow and transparent.

Ingredients

Mineral Water, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Panthenol, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Ethyl Hexanediol

Oh wow, I haven’t seen any products that have short ingredients list like this toner, like have you? I wondered how this short list can help my skin and live up to the claim they made? O_O Huh..

How it feels

I don’t really see the claim that this product offered to be honest. I don’t really see how it enhancing lustre at all O_O. It is pretty much like the other light weight toner. If you’re the type that is like me who loves to use toner to swipe makeup excess after cleansing, this doesn’t feel like it helps so much like how my Innisfree toner does. But it is not irritating my face and it does helps refresh and prepare my face before using other skincare on top of it. So, it is quite good for the price but I haven’t see how it works like how they claimed it to be. 

"I guess you can't see it clearly because how fine the spray is and the lighting"

Anyway, if you’d like simple toner which is on the affordable side, try this one because it is good and doesn’t irritate even sensitive skin. But if you like toner which have moisturizing effects or any other helping ingredients, I suggest you to save up some more money to get from the other brands. There are so many good products which is a bit more expensive but really good, like the Innisfree one, Mamonde Rose Water toner and Son & Park Beauty Water ^^.  

For me personally, I think it is meh :|. I still always reaching for my Innisfree toner because I can feel there is some excess of makeup or oil or any substance that bother my face. And the Innisfree one make my face really soft that I don’t see from this product.

Fragrance

When I sprayed it on my skin, it first smell like any skincare from dermatologist that doesn’t have any fragrances, but it will go away quickly like 4 seconds. It also doesn’t bother me at all when I apply it to my face. You can’t smell it if you’re not going near it to really find out what the smell is. So that’s good.

Pros

Cons

3/5

I give this toner 3/5 not because it isn’t good. It is because there is nothing special about it. I suggest you to buy the other option that I mentioned above for more effects and benefits. But if you’re on a budget or wanted to try this product, go ahead :D. It's just that i'm kinda dissapointed because this toner is tend to sold out quick and i hope much for this to be great :(, oh well.

Anyhow, I have tried another 3 products from COSRX and I will post the review about the other products soon enough. Even though this toner is a bit disappointing because I don’t see anything special about it, I love some of the other products that I’ve tried.

So, If you are curious about what other products from COSRX that I’ve been using, do not forget to always check my updates. Do not forget to subscribe by e-mail or follow my Instagram feeds :D, see you at next post! XOXO!!

La Rose Rouge Repair Damaged Hair Shampoo & Conditioner Package, shampoo dan conditioner untuk rambut rusak, patah, bercabang, berketombe dan frizzy hair. Terbuat dari deionized water, air yang sangat murni dan keratin yang berfungsi menguatkan akar rambut. 
Shampoo dan conditioner ini bekerja membersihkan, melembabkan, melembutkan, menguatkan, mencegah kerontokan rambut dan membantu pertumbuhan rambut baru. Sehingga rambut menjadi lebih halus, mudah diatur, dan jatuh seperti di-smoothing. 

Selain itu, penggunaan shampoo dan conditioner ini secara teratur mampu membuat warna rambut lebih hitam, dan menjadikan warna cat rambut lebih tahan lama, dan tidak mudah kusam. Dilengkapi wangi mawar yang lembut, menjadikan rambut harum seharian. Aman dikenakan sehari-hari, formula sangat ringan, dan no animal tested. 

Nah karena akan ada 3 produk yang di review, aku jabarkan satu-satu ya berbeda dengan review blog sebelumnya ^^.

La Rose Rouge Shampoo

Ingredients : Aqua, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate, cocamide DEA, dimethicone gycerin, sodium lauryl sulfate/dimethioconol/sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, fragrance, gycol disterate, steareteth-4, climbazole, DMDN hydatoin, acrylates/C10-c30, alkyl acrylate crossoplymer, triclosan, sodium choride, methylchloroisothiazolinone. NA 18131003797 

Shampoo ini menurut aku busanya agak kurang dibandingkan shampoo yang biasa aku pakai. Biasanya aku menggunakan Herbal Essence, salah satu shampoo yang selalu jadi favorit aku dan engga pernah aku ganti. Jadi, biasanya aku menggunakan banyak produk untuk shampoo ini supaya lebih banyak busanya sekitar 6 pump. Mungkin dipikir-pikir agak boros ya 6 pump itu, tapi berhubung kalau engga ada busanya rambut aku berasa engga bersih :(, mending aku banyakin aja deh produknya. 

Untuk hasilnya saat aku blow, rambut aku jadi halus dan bersih. Namun memang kurang mengembang hasilnya menurut aku. Untuk kalian yang memang punya rambut yang tebal, susah diatur dan engga pingin rambut terlalu mengembang, shampoo ini bisa dijadikan pilihan. Hanya saja karena aku sukanya yang mengembang dikarenakan rambut aku terlalu tipis, jadinya aku kurang begitu cocok karena rambutnya memang gampang kempes makanya aku lebih memilih shampoo aku pribadi. Tapi yang pasti shampoo ini cocok banget untuk kalian yang ingin rambutnya jatuh lurus seperti habis smoothing.

Oh iya, produk ini juga wangi banget. Seperti mawar dicampur dengan passion fruit atau buah lainnya (sepertinya sih engga ada tambahan wangi buah tapi entah kenapa ada wangi manis gitu dari shampoo ini seperti buah), enak banget deh. Menurut aku dibandingkan beberapa merk shampoo di pasaran, shampoo ini aman pemakaiannya dan tidak memakai bahan-bahan yang berbahaya untuk kelangsungan hidup si rambut kesayangan. Soalnya banyak banget shampoo di luar sana yang memang membuat rambut halus tapi berbahaya, rambut gampang rontok, jadi lebih rusak dan banyak lagi (Pernah engga kalian ngerasa tangan kalian itu panas atau hangat setelah selesai keramas? Bisa jadi shampoonya mengandung sesuatu lho). Jadi aku bisa recommend shampoo ini untuk kalian yang mau produk shampoo yang lebih aman untuk rambut.

La Rose Rouge Conditioner

Ingredients : Aqua, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate, cocamide DEA, dimethicone gycerin, sodium lauryl sulfate/dimethioconol/sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, fragrance, gycol disterate, steareteth-4, climbazole, DMDN hydatoin, acrylates/C10-c30, alkyl acrylate crossoplymer, triclosan, sodium choride, methylchloroisothiazolinone. NA 18131003797 

Nah untuk conditionernya enak banget pas pemakaian, soalnya licin dan membantu banget untuk rambut aku yang biasa awut-awutan sehabis keramas. Sisir rambutnya juga jadi lebih mudah deh <3. Rambut juga lebih halus dan jatuh (lurus) jadinya. Cuma dikarenakan aku masih belum bisa ngebedain conditioner-conditioner, aku belum tahu perbedaannya nih dibandingkan dengan conditioner lainnya. Selama ini aku belum pernah nemuin conditioner yang oke banget sampai gabisa aku skip. Karena buat aku shampoo itu masih cukup sih, tinggal blow dan catok aja deh. Tapi untuk hasilnya tetep oke kok. Dan yang paling terpenting apapun produk rambut yang kalian gunakan, pakai produk yang aman ya, sayangi rambut masing-masing :D.

Cherubim Hair Comb

Pertama-tama bentuk sisirnya itu super imut pake banget. Karena bentuk luarannya seperti sayap malaikat dan warnanya putih. Sebenarnya ada juga yang warna hitam lho, yang keren banget buat kalian yang pingin sisir yang beda warnanya. Udah gitu, finishingnya dove dan alus banget jadi gampang sekali kalau kotor atau kena noda bisa dicuci karena permukaannya yang halus. Selain itu sisir ini juga kecil dan bisa dibawa untuk perjalanan, kece banget kan ya pasti ditanyain deh sama mba-mba beli sisirnya dimana sih, lucu soalnya hihi :p.

Pastinya dibandingkan dengan sisir biasa, sisir ini tidak mudah merusak rambut dan mudah untuk menyisir rambut yang kusut. Tapi tentunya kalian harus menyisir pelan-pelan ya, apalagi bagi kalian yang rambutnya damaged, jangan sampai rontok hanya karena menyisir secara kencang. Yang jelas kalau rambut kalian rusak seperti rambut aku, rambut kalian tetap akan rontok menggunakan sisir ini. Jadi, bukan berarti rambut kalian tidak akan rontok walau menggunakan sisir yang lembut seperti ini ya. Kalian tetap harus men-treatment rambut kalian juga secara teratur ^^.

Akhir kata, thank you Perfect Beauty telah mengirimkan produk-produk La Rose Rouge ini. Karena aku belum pernah upload satupun post mengenai perawatan rambut. Dan semoga review dari aku membantu kalian-kalian yang penasaran untuk mencoba produk-produk ini ya ^^. Kalian bisa dapatkan semua produk ini di www.perfectbeauty.id. So, see you guys at next post!! <3
