When I was searching for the next contact lens-to-buy, I intended to find a comfy one with very natural appearance that made it wearable for daily office makeup. I have been working at my current job for a year, and I didn't remember that I ever tried to look 'pretty' at work. I self-proclaimed that I am (or was) a beauty blogger, but I didn't do what I claimed to my office-mate. 

Every day, I just come to the office wearing my uniform top and my own trouser that I've worn days before, applying thin layer of BB cream, doing eyebrows, apply lip butter and lip cream or tint. Also, I'm too lazy to wear shoes. Ugly black flip-flop is my daily footwear.

"Because my office is only 1-minute-walk from where I stay" has always been my excuse for the absence of the effort to look good.

There was time though when I tried different lipcolor, or mix-matching my outfit for the day. The result: better mood for the day (and came to work a bit late). But I guess it affects me positively. So I'd love to start putting more efforts in looking pretty.

I was very excited when my order had arrived, and the contact lens I bought came out really really natural on me. Perfect!

EOS has been my ultimate choice for its comfort. I can wear it for hours without any problem. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this contact lens.

Wow, this blogpost is delayed for almost a month! I could not manage the to find wifi where I can upload pictures without any concern the quota will run out. Imagine how's a life of a self-proclaimed-blogger without the internet.

This time I would like to share about my signature look that I wear it on daily occasions, for casual hangouts. I really like applying red blusher. For me, it will make the overall look younger because red on matte base will give vibrant look that appears fresh. 

To add the effect, I do cheat on this look. Wearing eyelashes for casual hangouts sometimes make me uncomfortable. Unconsciously, I will check my fake eyelashes nonstop during the day. I'll be worried if the fake eyelashes aren't attached well enough. And because my eyelashes is really short and thin, mascara doesn't do much. So, to solve this no-eyelashes-problem, I drew fake eyelashes on bottom eyeline. This method makes my eyes appear dolly without too much effort in putting the fake eyelashes. Drawn bottom eyelashes also make the eyes look droopy, kind of giving young looks, representing the innocence (hehe).

Check this step-by-step: 

For lips, my casual look usually just involves the simple gradient lips. I apply the bright red or pink lipstick only on the inner part of the lips and pat it to spread the color. The lipstick will complement the blush-on I wear.

The blusher is from Holika-Holika and lipstick is Etude House's.

See you on the next post.

I'm back from hiatus. Haha! Blogging about beauty is the thing I'll miss, always. I stopped blogging earlier this year because I need to finish my study, which I haven't finished yet (I will finish it, I will). Also, these past months, I was struggling to find wifi. I moved to Jatinangor from January-April, and I only relied on my campus wifi to get internet connection. My mobile phone network sucks. And now I'm back home, I get a trouble with the internet provider company who never give their customers good services. Because of that, I stopped using the internet from that company. So now, I try to survive with mobile wifi that give bonus quotas at night. I'm forced to be a nocturnal again. What a life.

Now let's talk about this look.

Candy Fairy. Colorful, shimmering, and sweet. I tried to create a look that would reminds me of candies.I should thank to Pinterest because I can find many inspirations from that apps. Inspiration for makeup, just like how I found this kind of look.

I used blue and pink for this look. Adding too much color didn't work because the main point of this look is how to create the sweetness. So I played with the gradation of blue and pink. I also added red for the blush. White eyeliner helped much in intensifying the color. For lips, I chose sweet and soft gradient using pink lipstick and a bit of orange tint.

Is it sweet?

Punk and Grunge looks have grabbed my attention recently. I think the trend started this fall, especially when the famous cosmetics brand 'Lime Crime' released their grunge eyeshadow palette called 'Venus'. The hype increased. I didn't buy it but with the demo they showed, I was very much tempted to try this kind of look. I'm totally in love with Doe Deere and all this grunge makeup.

But this time, I started with punk look first.

What's the difference? Punk look and grunge look?

Well, based on my research in which I'm not really sure, so please correct me if I'm wrong, punk and grunge both hold the same characteristics with bold eyes and lips (but sometimes grunge isn't about lips). However, punk kinda stands to a crazier look, while grunge looks softer and more wearable. Punk can play with bright color, such as red, blue, rather than black or brown only, while grunge focuses on creating intense look, especially on eyes. So basically punk gives wider variety. Well, I guess because it's punk in which rule doesn't apply.

I think this look I've created is more like dark punk makeup.

Let's move on to the tutorial. It's quite easy. I used red eyeshadow as the base, added by orange eyeshadow. For intense effect, I used brown and black eyeshadow, also black eyeliner and dramatic eyelashes to make eyes look sharp.

For lips, because I don't have reddish brown lip color, I mixed two types of lipstick with brown eyeshadow. I don't know if it's you, but I'm in love with this color. It makes me wanting to buy this kind of shade. 

I plan to create grunge look too but still try to learn more about dark makeup. Hmm..I can't deny that I'm going 'darker' recently.

Have you heard about the newest product of Garnier: Duo Clean? It has been launched since early November so I bet it can be found in any supermarket. 

On October 30, I was invited to the launching event of this product. The event was held at Locanda. It's such a cozy place, I think.

Simply saying, Garnier Duo Clean is face cleanser that was made from TWO natural ingredients. It came out in TWO different colors in one tube. By such innovation, this cleanser will bring TWO benefits in one. 

There are three variants of Garnier Duo Clean so that we can choose the cleanser to help us solving our skin problem. 

First is Garnier Duo Clean Grape and Lychee Extract. This is the whitening + smoothening cleanser, made from grape extract that contains antioxidant to maintain skin's firmness and smoothness, and lychee extract to nourish and brighten skin. It smells really nice and sweet.

Second, Garnier Duo Clean Vitamin CG and White Clay, for whitening + oil control. Vitamin CG contained in this cleanser will exfoliate dead skin cells thus makes the skin brighter. While white clay ingredient will do the deep cleanse and absorb the excessive oil. This blue one smells so refreshing. I like it.

The last variant is Garnier Duo Clean Black and White Rice Extract: Whitening + Pore Minimizing. This is made from two types of rice. Black rice helps nourishing skin and makes the pores appear smaller, and white rice exfoliates and brighten skin. This one also smells nice and gentle.

So we can choose our own colors, whether it's purple, blue, or black, and at the same time, get a brighter also better skin. Two problems are solved in one. 

The main stars coming on that day were Reny K. Agustia as Marketing Manager Garnier, Belinda Gunadi as Group Product Manager Skin Care Garnier, and Pevita Pearce, as Duo Cleanser Brand Ambassador.

Besides knowing more about the products, I also had chance to enjoy the food and meet fellow beauty bloggers. 

I personally recommend the black Garnier Duo Clean as it has deep-cleansed my skin without making it rough and dry. So try it.

End of this post. Bye!

Yes, it's a witch, not a ghoul. And I have no specific reason to call it a witch. I just thought that this look was witch-y.

Inspired by (indeed) ghoul and some makeup arts I found on the internet, I created this Witch Look for Halloween. It's already October 26th, but not too late to post something with Halloween theme, even though I'm pretty sure this blog will be filled by forever Halloween posts.

This year, I feel everyone getting excited of Halloween. Not just celebrating it by coming to a 'Halloween' party effortlessly, but everyone now is getting the Halloween vibes. I can see that so many parties require their guests to come with their costumes.

Too bad I'm not going anywhere this Halloween. Not because I'm busy but I just don't have such a partner in crime for something like costume party. Anyone wanna ask me out and wear crazy makeup + full costume with me?

Well, I will celebrate Halloween everyday in my blog though, if you define Halloween with 'wearing unusual makeup'.

Enough words. Here I am, as the Witch. Still far from a pro. I also depend too much on photo editing.

This time I managed to not being lazy and capture the step-by-step of the eye-make.
