My Cleansing Routine

Aku udah lama banget punya masalah kulit wajah berjerawat. Jerawat wajahku ini bukan yang besar dan meradang, tapi lebih cenderung ke komedo dan lemak-lemak kecil di seluruh muka. Aku udah nyoba macem-macem skin care dan udah spending banyak banget uang untuk menemukan skin care yang tepat, tapi sampai sekarang perjuangan ini belum selesai. Aku udah sering googling "how to treat comedones and whiteheads acne", dan hasil dari yang aku baca, komedo dan whitehead ini adalah minyak, kotoran, dan sel-sel kulit mati yang tersumbat di dalam. Nah setelah baca itu, aku langsung berpikir, berarti kemungkinan selama ini aku kurang besih waktu membersihkan muka aku apalagi aku setiap hari pakai make up seharian. Aku suka banget pakai make up, dan sehari-hari pekerjaan ku juga menuntut harus well-groomed , artinya harus make up an juga. 

Jadi untuk langkah pertama dalam membersihkan wajah, aku pakai Banila Clean It Zero


Produk ini ada beberapa Varian, ada warna Pink, hijau tua, hijau muda, dan abu-abu kalau ga salah. Biasanya sih yang terkenal di olshop2 itu warna pink. Tapi dulu aku pernah nyoba yang pink ga cocok, perih di mata dan malah jadi jerawatan. Terus aku pakai yang warna hijau ini untuk sensitve skin. Jadi kalau pakai untuk hapus eye makeup ga perih sama sekali. 


pas dibuka, atas nya ada plastik penutup nya dan spatula untuk ngambil produk nya.


Tekstur nya padat, jadi harus dicongkel pakai spatula jadi ga kotor dan ga masuk-masuk ke dalem kuku. Tapi biarpun padat, kalau udah dioles ke wajah jadi melting dan ampuh banget buat melunturkan segala jenis make up, even the waterproof one. Lem bulu mata pun bisa hilang pakai ini. Cara pakai nya, aku ambil sedikit pakai spatula, dan aku taruh sedikit di tangan dan aku olesin ke seluruh muka sampai semua kotoran make up luntur. Terus aku lap pakai tisu kering. Setelah itu baru aku cuci muka pakai sabun muka.

Ini sabun yang aku pakai. Ini produk Korea merk nya COSRX. Sabun ini mengandung salicylic acid yang katanya bagus untuk mengurangi bakteri jerawat. 

Setelah cuci muka pakai sabun, aku bersihkan lagi pakai second cleanser dari The Bath Box. Produk nya mereka seperti LUSH, tapi ini versi lokal nya. Aku suka banget produk-produk tipe kaya gini, karena produk ini Vegan dan handmade. Artinya terbuat dari bahan-bahan organik asli, jadi ga terlalu banyak bahan kimia nya dan tidak pakai bahan pengawet. Karena tidak pakai bahan pengawet, maka biasanya ada expired date nya




The Bath Box baru aja meluncurkan produk baru nya, yaitu Sugar dan Scary Face. Kebetulan aku pakai yang Scary Face, karena terbuat dari Charcoal yang katanya bagus untuk menyerap kotoran di wajah. Jadi mudah-mudahan cocok untuk muka aku yang komedo an dan berpori-pori besar. Satu lagi Sugar itu terbuat dari green tea, dan sebenarnya cocok juga sih untuk kulit berjerawat.

Ini penampakan dalam nya. Jadi dia tekstur nya padat, ada gula-gula nya untuk scrub wajah, tapi Gula nya ini gak kasar di muka. Di tengah nya itu juga ada bunga nya supaya wangi. Aku pertama kali pakai cleanser kaya gini dan aku SUKA BANGET!! karena pas dibuka tuh wangiii banget, dan wangi nya ini seperti kombinasi kayu-kayu an dan bunga-bunga an jadi menenangkan pas dipake di wajah. Cara pakai nya, ambil sedikit produk nya, dan dikasih air sedikit aja sampai membentuk paste dan langsung aja diolesin di muka, dipijit-pijit selama 1-2 menit (mumpung wangi nya juga enak banget) terus langsung dibilas pakai air dan tinggal dikeringkan wajah nya pakai handuk seperti biasa. Setelah itu, baru deh aku pakai skin care aku yang lainnya. 

Walaupun kelihatan nya ribet dan ngerepotin, tapi aku ngerasain banget beda nya setelah pakai second cleanser dari The Bath Box ini. Muka aku kerasa bersih banget dan jerawat yang besar-besar jadi berkurang. If you want to try, you can find it on their instagram @thebathbox dan bisa juga order via website www.thebathbox.co.id 

Di postingan selanjutnya, aku akan sharing lagi produk-produk skin care apa aja yang lagi aku suka pakai.

Catrice Cosmetics Review

Hi, this time i want to write a review about Catrice Cosmetics.
This is the first time use this brand, because one of my friend recommend it. She says it's nice for oily skin because it feels very light on skin and long last. So think i will give it a try.

I bought Catrice Cosmetics at Guardian Drug Store in Jakarta. First i only wanted to buy the foundation but then i found they have very cheap prices. So i bought foundation, eyeliner, and mascara.



Price: around 100.000 Rupiah (8-9 USD)

This is a liquid foundation with pump and glass packaging. It reminds me to that high end Armani Fondation.  It has light texture and gives light to medium coverage. I still need put some concealer to cover up my pigmented acne scar and dark circle under my eyes. At the back of the bottle says it gives satin matte and even complexion, which is true. It also says lasts up to 18 hours, which is also true (even though i did not leave it for 18 hours) but i think my Make Up Forever HD loose powder also help the foundation to stays in place. Although it says long lasting shine control, i still found my forehead getting oily after 8 hours later, but i think it's normal. 
So overall i like this product because it is light weight and suitable for daily use and it did not cause breakout on my oily acne prone skin.

The next product is Catrice Eyeliner

Price: 46.000 Rupiah (3-4 USD)

This type of eyeliner is always be my favorite because it is very easy to use, especially when i have to get ready in the morning before work.
This eyeliner also says extra long lasting. That's why i bought it. Not only getting oily on my forehead and T-Zone , i also have oily eye lid. I have tried benefit push up liners before and it very smudge all over my eyes when i sweat. 
This Catrice eyeliner pen isn't a bad choice. It stays longer than the other eyeliners that i have used before. Well it still a little bit fading after 7-8 hours, but at least it did not smudge like crazy. But the thing that i don't really like from this product is the pen brush is a little too big for me and it doesn't flexible so i think it's quite hard for me to just draw a thin line. It also kinda watery so i need to close my eyes for few seconds to let it dry. 

Catrice Mascara

Price: 63.000 Rupiah (5-6 USD)
Again, i choose this product because it says lasts for 14 hours, but it is not a waterproof mascara. Well, i'm just curious tho :p
I think it's kinda similar to Maybelline mascara, but i think i'm not a fan of this product because it smudge all over my eyes at the end of the day, like after 9 hours.

That's all for my review, i hope it helps

Europe Trip: Amsterdam

Hi!
It's been a long time since i updated my blog. I know it was like years ago.. The last time i said i want to post more often but i ended up being lazy again. But this time, i promise myself i'm gonna write more often for the sake of my creativity.

This time i want to share my first experience visiting Europe. It was fall season on October 2016.
I know it's kinda late, but i think it was a very exciting and great moment so i can't help to not sharing with you, people. On this Europe trip, i went from Jakarta- Amsterdam, and then Brussel, Brugge, Paris, Iceland, and back to Amsterdam and Jakarta.

First stop: Jakarta- Doha- Amsterdam

On this trip, i chose Qatar Airways that flew me from Jakarta- Amsterdam. I chose Qatar because it they had a cheap price. I only spent around $800-900 for round trip, maybe because i have bought the tickets from January 2016. A very well planned trip always has a good deal :)
This is also my first time using Qatar Airways, and it was great. They have a good space for my legs and friendly crews. But unfortunately i'm not into the food. Maybe because i'm not familiar with Arabic or Mediterranian food.

So here is the picture that i took when the plane just take off.


I always sit beside the windows because i love to see the beautiful view from the sky. 
This is  Indonesia from thousands feet

After view hours, we arrived at Doha for transfer. We didn't have very much time in Doha, so we  just stay at the airport just to take a look for a little while. 

We arrived at Doha Hamad Airport at dawn. So it was still dark, and the airport wasn't very busy.





They have a huge teddy bear and everyone is taking picture with that. 

After few hours more, we're finally arrived at Amsterdam, and we were very surprised when we see the immigration.


Very busy and long lines

Finally, after the very long line up we can meet our dear friend, Stella


Sorry guys for my tired face, and i know i need to shower ASAP

Stella is our high school friend who lives in Amsterdam, and she's going to be our awesome tour guide along this whole trip. She is very kind to let us stay at her house.



Everyone took a shower and we are ready to strolling around Amsterdam to do the tourists things




Me and my Boyfriend at Amsterdam Central Station. 


We're taking canal boat tour to see the city 


The iconic "Iamsterdam" 
LOL look at his face 





The Full Squad.
This is where "The Fault in Our Stars" movie took the scene


I'm feeling like we're at The Hogwarts because of the old building and the blue darken sky


See you on the next post.
