Here we are at the last day of the year.2015 has been a great ,growing yet life-changing year for me.Looking back at this year past resolutions, I'm glad that I fulfilled some of them.Sure my life is getting busier since I'm start working for real this year yet I still manage my time to write(although isn't that routine ,duh) keep this blog.By that ,I will write more and improve myself in the new blank pages of 2016 which in the end probably would even better than 2015.So here I made my 2016 Beauty Resolutions :)

1.Limit Myself of Buying Unusable Beauty Product

Shopping spree is always fun if you spend your money into the things that you really craze for. For me, it's definitely beauty product.I love to try new invention ,new kind,new brand of beauty product.But I have learned something new this past year that sometimes I cant fully trust my eyes that I end up buy product that is not even my need. I remember once I traveled, I bought a face foam that is made from horse oil.I never heard that brand and the review before and just because the price was like hella cheap ,I bought it anyway and as result I really disappointed with the product!it made my skin went break out and stiff.The product end up just like that on my vanity table.Well,being beauty junkies is totally okay.But gotta be smart in differentiate of what you really need x what you really want.

2.Apply Face Mask Regularly.At Least,Once a Month

I've been into face mask lately.I realize that once I step into my mid twenties,my face skin need extra care.It's not enough to keep it clean and moist.Face mask can help improve overall regimen in which the other facial care product can work more efficiently.It's also a fun thing to add a new regimen to treat skin even better that my self will thank me at the end of year.

3.Change Hair Parting SIde . Go Ombre Hair

I always want a full hair-makeover including change my hair parting.It's been more than twelve years I've the same hair parting.I think I will change it and maybe grow my bangs too and see the new me.

about the Ombre thing,not sure what color that i gonna get.Something pink at the hair ends would be fab but i wanted something green too.Not sure too whether it's gonna be permanent or not.I heard that hair chalk are getting popular so maybe I tried them first before getting permanent?kk

4.Learn to do Contouring Make Up

I've buy some beauty 'weapon' to do contouring my round face *_* .I'm not a make up expert but yeah It's never too late to learn ,right?Gotta learn step by step from now on.Anybody here expert in contouring, your help and tips is surely welcomed!

5. Have My Second Beauty Trip at Japan!

For this 2016, I start save up to travel myself or maybe with my sister to have beauty trip at Japan.I also start save up to buy non Japanese makeup and when I finally land there I will go restock my makeup and beauty essentials needs! Every beauty products directly from Japan never fails to impress me.Oh yay!

So that's all my new year beauty resolutions. I think I will add more as time goes by...

Have you guys make one?If so, I would be happy to read and maybe you can suggest me some of yours which i can add to my list !

Hello Lovely Ladies!

As a Japan Lover person,I feel like it is not complete for me not trying Japanese skin and body care products including the very basic and daily product, body soap.And yeah,I'm glad that I found a Japanese brand soap that truly impress me ! *Thanks to Kawaii Beauty Japan who generously sent me this product*

First of all,I would like you to aware with this brand ,CowStyle. It is a Japanese brand who developing personal care product since 1909.No wonder that it is qualified as one of the top brand in Japan!

One of their product which popular these days is this one,CowStyle Milky Body Soap.With fourdifferent kind of scents which are Mild Soap,Relaxing Floral and Refresh Citrus and Happy Fruity now you can choose happily your favourite scents and be happy to enjoy new showering experience!

Price : about IDR 65.000/bottle

Where to get (INDONESIA) :

Actually I was given choice to choose which scent that I'd like to have and decided to get the Relax Floral scent just because the packaging is super pretty in pink,it would lighten my bathroom too lol plus i would like to try what is like to have floral scent lingering my skin.

Cow Style Milky Body Soap consist of real milk ingredients which are rich in essential of Milk Ceramide (Sphyngomyelin),Milk Powder(Skim Milk),Milk Protein(Hydrolizen Casein) Three of them can help gently moisturizes skin and maintain skin elasticity.

Love how it's is packaged in a non spill pump-cap.The soap color is white tho,not pink as the scent that i expected?then I realized that true that the color is white because it is made from real milk !

Look at how much foam is created with only just one pump!

After showering, I knew that my showering routine won't be the same.The creamy foam of the soap cleanse my skin better than the other soap that I have tried before.I can feel that it completely rid the dullness,soothes my dry skin, moisturizes and makes my skin smoother.It was a good decision too of me to pick the floral scent.It is not too overpowering sweet but more like fresh flower.Very calming and linger for hours!Definitely will restock after I emptied this one! I hope CowStyle would make a travel size product of this body soap so i can enjoy this 'everyday milk-spa' whenever I'm aboard too!

[REVIEW] MY FIRST JAPANESE FASHION WIG

It's November already but i still can't move on with last Halloween because I finally have time,tried my first fashion wig ever ! I always wanted to own one these past few years..Bought this wig at Don Quijote ,Shibuya while I'm on my Summer Japan Trip.Please pardon me as I'm not wig expert nor a cosplay-er but here's my honest review of Japanese fashion wig.

You might think,For such a Japan lover person, cosplay and anime are things that influenced me to get myself a wig.But the fact is..it's not. I developing interest into this fake hair things just because i love gyaru culture too much. Even wonder when you read Japanese magazine,gyaru girls's hair be like big,bouncy and beautiful colorful hairs.Well,mainly because they're wearing wig!

The other reason is,some years ago I had a very random dream of myself having a super bright red hair just like Ariel,the mermaid♥

lol this dream actually make me think seriously to have a such hair like that but it can't be possible.It takes time to grow my hair, need to go salon to bleach my hair beside.I'm the type who's easily get bored with just one color.Moreover, if i really changed my hair into super bright red just like Ariel,my parents would be the first who strongly opposed me,following by my friends because it is not so common to have such high saturated ,extreme hair color especially daily here in my country,Ouch.

So yeah,a wig would be a perfect to satisfy my inner craving !

The wig carefully packed in a mini bag with silicone gel inside.You can actually see the color on the back side.

The color is actually pretty much alike with the cover model! Wine Red just like what I wanted!

CELEB PARTY WIG

LENGTH : 50 cm
MATERIAL : 100 % Synthetic Hair
TEXTURE : Wavy
COLOR : Red Wine
PRICE : ¥ 2500
PLACE : Don Quijote,Shibuya-ku

Actually there's lotsa type of wigs at Don Quijote but this one captured my eyes the most.I reminded by my dream when I saw it lol.

Here's my result :

It's quite a weird for me wearing fashion wig for the first time.Seeing my reflection in the mirror with new hair that i never had just like "woah" . It felt like I transformed into another me,my alter ego,kk!

Tbh, first time putting this wig actually stressed me out.Because of its wavy texture,it kind of difficult arranging the hair part especially on the bangs.Took me around few minutes to finally get the right arrangement.

Thick Hair

Lightweight

Affordable Price

Doesn't make my head feel hot

Full head coverage

Often get tangled especially on the hair ends
Overly shiny especially under direct sunlight

I think this wig is perfect for special occasion like cosplay or costume party as it titled.However if you're someone who doesn't really mind buying a wig for fun/camwhoring like me ,i think it is worth buy despite the price.By right lighting,it doesn't look really fake in photo.You can still minimize the shine effects with Photoshop or if you're lazy ,you can add some powder onto it (Just know about this trick and I'll try next time :)

Having my first wig makes me addicted to have more.I love the feeling that i can have fun whilst transform into different type of me with different hairstyle and color instantly while young lol.Now I'm in search to buy another wig that I can wear daily preferably natural color like dark brown or black!

RATE 4/5

Hi Ladies,it's been a while since i post beauty review.Looking back past month,my post is all about Japan lol. I guess I'm head over heels again and again with Japan ,my fave country (>3<) But not to forget the purpose i made this blog ,it is also a place for me to share about my beauty interest! So yeah,here's my beauty review of the month!

First, i want to ask you all a Question ,

What is your beauty primer products you cant leave house without?

For me,it 's always been BB Cream / Foundation + Concealer + Two Way Cake Powder.These three has been essentials beauty basic for me.But sometimes doing this routine tiring me,especially when i have to rush.But now,i have no worries as I found THE FACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion, I couldn't agree more that this is just a practical way to sums up that four beauty primers that I mentioned above!

I bet you've seen Kim Soo Hyun all over in every THE FACESHOP counter right? Well,it's all because beside He's now the new current ambassador,He's also here to promote this one new beauty breakthrough product !

THE FACESHOP OIL CONTROL WATER CUSHION

✿Price : IDR 329.000,-✿

✿Origin : South Korea✿

✿SPF 50++PA✿

✿One sided puff included✿

I'm truly happy to receive this product from THE FACESHOP Indonesia along with Kawaii Beauty Japan ( Thanks! you guys such generous :D) I've been eyeing this product since I saw their Kim Soo Hyun ads!Yeah,Beauty maniac like me never fail to update with current makeup trend lol.

✿Description Box✿

Although some of the description is in Korean,I appreciate they enclosed English translation by the directions and ingredients box. Also as what I have always mention,I'm avoid anything with paraben.So, this paraben free product most likely safe for skin!

Actually there's two shade of THE FACESHOP OCWC, which is V201 apricot beige and V203 Natural Beige but i got mine the last one.

V201 appear to be little pinkish and lighter than V203.I thought that V203 will be too dark for my skin tone but i was total wrong.I'm glad that it doesn't turn out dark as it seen.

✿PACKAGING✿

I like the way they design the packaging with mirror lining and it appear to be quite thick.Stylishly elegant with just the simple logo-gram on the top !

Separator included between and seal above the cushion.Keep the product hygiene

✿FUNCTION✿

So what actually is THE FACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion ?

Formulated with newest technology called LG PATENT MICRO FOAM this cushion is created for you to have a perfect long lasting perfect makeup coverage primer in one product. It's consist foundation inside of microfoam.so the texture it not really powdery although it seems like one.The product aim to gives you :

✿Zero oil look with sebum control( no more melting/cracked make up )

✿Full moisture during every season(even on hottest weather!

✿Absolute matte finish (elegant ladylike,who doesn't want lah?)

microfoam close-up view

✿HOW TO USE✿

Use with puff ,gently pat all over face,just like applying foundation generally

✿USAGE✿

Really surprise that the colour didn't turn as dark as i imagine.It gives kind of yellowish color rather than brown-ish tone.Even in just single swap,not cakey at all.Love how the outcome makes my skin looks very natural.just like doesn't wearing any single primer.Most important,it didn't break out or makes my skin itchy.

At first,i kinda afraid it dint really fit with my skin which is considered as dry skin type.I thought that my dry skin has nothing to do with anything oil matters.But surprisingly after use,it didn't make my skin feels dry and rough bit.Rather, it looks more moist and glowing.

✿CONCLUSION✿

Finally ,I think THE FACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion will be one of on my favorite make up list of the year.Love the way it can turn me my face fresh in just minutes! Here's my final verdict :
1.Perfect as daily wear make up and for those who love light,effortless and 'no makeup- makeup' look

2.Medium coverage,suitable for people with no major skin problems.

3.Save time like 20 % of your usual makeup routine,Great decision to bring along when travel!

4.Quite long lasting.Once I wore it up to 8 hours on working day during hot weather yet i didn't do any touch up.
