Hai Ladies! Beberapa waktu lalu aku menerima paket freebies spesial dari Sociolla edisi April.Isinya sih beda-beda jadi kaya surprise gitu tapi sebelumnya kita sempat dikasih clue di email apa aja yang produk yang dikirim dan jujur aja waktu itu aku langsung suka sama Armando Caruso Cosmetic Pouch ini dan berharap kecil dalam hati kalo nantinya isi freebies ku beneran ini. Eh ngga taunya, beneran lol.Jadi super bahagia , it's like God really know what I wanted.

ARMANDO CARUSO OCTAVIA COSMETIC POUCH

✿Price : IDR 269.000,-✿

First impression Armando Caruso Cosmetic Pouch ini menurutku EYE CATCHING yet CUTE at the same time ! Desain floral pattern dan warnanya yang kuning jreng terkesan ceria ! Bentuknya agak sturdy bila diisi full tapi ngga terlalu kaku juga karena bahan dasarnya kain. Dengan ukuran 12 cm x 20 cm , tas kosmetik satu ini praktis juga kalau mau dibawa travelling.

Mengimbangi desain luar nya yang ceria, desain dalam nya juga ! Meski cuma polosan, warna hijau toscanya cukup membantu buat isi make up kelihatan lebih pop-out. Such a cute color harmony!

Selain itu, aku notice lagi kalau bahan dalamnya pakai bahan kain parasut yang tentunya lebih water resistant daripada bahan luarnya.Well, mungkin ini siasat buat jaga-jaga in case item yang bahannya cairan seperti make up remover kalau tumpah nggak sampai tembus ke luarnya dan lebih gampang juga kalau dibersihkan . Di dalamnya juga ada kantong tambahan lengkap dengan resleting ,cocok buat simpan kosmetik yang ukurannya kecil seperti lipstik , bulmat ataupun tweezers.

Well, overall aku suka Armando Caruso Octavia Cosmetic Pouch ini soalnya desainnya aku banget dan bisa muat banyak . Just toss in all you beauty needs in ; skincare set,make up and even shampoo-conditioner (travel size) jadi ngga perlu bawa terpisah kayak make up pouch aku sebelum nya.

cathydoll aa air soft cushion spf 45 review

Hi!! here's another beauty review that I recently bought this mid year. It's a new cushion from Cathy Doll, a Korean brand from KarMarts that gained popularity over Thailand. Honestly, I knew nothing about this brand until they invite me to a beauty blogger meet up event here in Surabaya but I can't attend the event just because I was in Japan that time T__T So,to kill my curiosity over this brand, I decided to bought one of their product, Cathy Doll AA AIR CUSHION Spf 45 PA+++

CATHY DOLL AA AIR CUSHION SOFT SPF 45 PA +++

#Natural Beige

✿Price : around IDR 328.000,-✿

✿Buy Online : Cathy Doll Indonesia
*Shipped Worldwide : Cathy Doll Singapore

AA stands for AUTO AURA , ANTI ACNE , ANTI AGING . Cathy Doll AA Air soft cushion also contains collagen ,ceramide, and also vitamin E In short, this cushion help you take over blemishes and gives you flawless and naturally beautiful complexion.

Simple but utterly cute , pinkish - themed packaging!

Two different color available . Light Beige and Natural Beige . I picked the last one simply because light beige too pale on my skin.

Benzophenone, Petrolatum, Alcohold, Denat Propylene, Glycol, Phthalate

Let's checkout what is inside Cathy Doll AA Air Cushion Soft :

The cushion packaging looks thick but since it made from a plastic material so it's very light and travel friendly.I like how they made separator between the cushion and the puff to keep good hygiene.

Close Up View :

Too dark eh? nah i was wrong, see the before- after pic when applied on skin :

The cushion consistency comes a bit thick and creamy

Before - After Cathy Doll AA Air Cushion Soft

Once applied , it gives medium coverage and matte finish, it can cover redness and dark circle bests without concealer and can lasts for 5-6 hours long without touch up.Tho, I usually add loose powder after to minimize the sticky feeling caused by its texture and lengthen the stay power.

Pretty Packaging

Matte and Natural Finish

Travel Friendly

No breakout effects after usage

Creamy texture tends to be bit cakey

A bit hard to blend

Needs double cleansing to actually remove !

I love how Cathy Doll AA Air Cushion Soft fit my skin tone color perfectly.This cushion definitely saves my time as it doesn't need touch up even I don't use any other primer and sunscreen before because it already contains Spf 45 PA.After all,it's a cushion that worth to check if you have the oily or normal skin-type like me.It also best for busy person who wants to have flawless skin in minutes.

RATE 3.5/5

It's been a while I post about tagging post since my last ,Versatile Blogger Awards. Tagging post is always fun thing to do since it exposed about the blogger personality.This time the Q's and A's is all about beauty things so the it's surely double fun♥ Feel free to copy and paste the question and link me your version on the comment box below :)

Why did you start blogging and how long have you been blogging for?

✿ It all started because of this one keyword 'ulzzang' that i searched on interned back then at 2009. I found this one an ulzzang lover blog who shared about her online diary and instantly being her fan a minute after read her post.Thought to myself that time that a blog can be my online diary as well rather than wrote 'em in paper. So yeah ,my first blog it's this blog but the url was not petitediaries and it mostly posts about an ordinary a teenager life lol. At 2012, I started post about my travel experience as well as shopping haul and bit by bit ,It changed into an beauty diary that records all about my obsession in beauty and Japan stuff :)

Name a beauty regimen that you rarely do?

✿ Apply body and face exfoliator ! Idk why I'm being such lazy bums all this time with exfoliator lol and honestly I started to put it on my face routine list THIS YEAR after I got sponsor from some brands.

It strike me right after I post a blog and finally realized the importance of using exfoliator

Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?

✿ Yass. A must is a must! I don't wanna screw my make up with dirty brushes.

Learned how to it quickly with the magic of Brush EGG (* read here*)

Procrastination no more!

How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

✿ As long as it's not that noticeable then i'm okay with it .However, usually a week after,

I reapply them or changed with different color before it became worse

What is your worst beauty habit?

✿ Sleeping with full make up on usually after a long day's work :/

Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

✿ Doing chores, on my room. Like organizing clothes ,books in same colors.

Currently i'm interested to learn more about Marie Kondo's method of tidying up.

When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?

✿ Pretty much yes lol. I'm always be that last person on family who get in car last just

because I need to double check that my make up/ ootd is OK already.

Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice makeup or nice hair and no makeup?

✿ Nice Hair and no make up on definitely,

*ps ; as long as my skin condition at its best

Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?

✿ No. need to do my eyebrow at least

Name your top five beauty products

✿ Elizabeth Arden Red Door Aura Perfume

✿ Dolly Wink Eyelashes no.15

✿ Creer Beaute Sailor Moon Eyeliner

✿ Canmake Powder Cheeks

✿ Heroine Make Volume Curl Mascara -old version; pink-

[JAPAN TRIP 2015] D-6 : ONE SUMMER DAY AT TOKYO DISNEYSEA 東京ディズニーシー

Saturday, July 02, 2016

Happy first week of July and Happy Hari Raya for those who celebrate it. It's public holiday a.k.a cuti bersama here in Indonesia and mostly everybody is going out of town till next week.I guess this is the right time for me to post another travel post.And yeap it's about my 2015 Summer Japan Trip Series.It's almost one year already and why do I still clearly remember just like yesterday, Haha. Anyway at the sixth day, our group tour schedule was Tokyo DisneySea ! Ohh yeah,like finally my first DisneySea on this 24 years of life lol.

♥ TOKYO DISNEYSEA 東京ディズニーシー ♥

1-13 Maihama, Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture 279-0031, Japan
*Maihama Station*

Ph : +81 570-008-632

Opening Hours : 8.30am - 10pm daily
Website : DisneySea Japan
/Check Website For Ticket Price/

Got there by bus around 5 mins only because our hotel is veryy near with both ,DisneyLand and DisneySea.If you plan to book hotel which is around Maihama station area ,I really recommend the hotel where we stayed in, Tokyo Bay Maihama Hotel. Very Nice,Clean,Pleasant to stay ! There's even Disney Stores inside the hotel too, and the interior inside is very disney-ish ! Other option, you may check Disney Ambassador Hotel . or Tokyo DisneySea Hotel Mira Costa :)

Most people says it's better to go DisneySea (first) rather than DisneyLand while you're in Japan and I couldn't agree more with this statement. It's is definitely a good decision to check DisneySea just because this 176-acre theme park is the one and only DisneySea in the world !

And since it named as Disney-Sea , the attractions, exterior and most Disney characters here are pretty much related with sea.Name it, Ariel the Little Mermaid Playground, Sinbad Story book Voyage,etc.

We went there around 10am and it was super crowded already tho some attractions we'rent ready to be open.No, People are not going to ride them .They're simply hunting like crazy for FAST PASS!

forgot to take pic of my FastPass , -- pic credit : http://mydreamcametrue.com/ ---
FastPass in a short is a magic key that help you to get the attractions you wanted without being bothered by long queue. You can Read more about it and how it works one DisneySea Website.

However I can only get 1 attraction FastPass which is for Tower of Terror and immediately went in just be because the queue was not a joke and the sun was really burning out my skin ,made me thing that it is completely wrong to go here on such Summer day ,pheww.

TOWER OF TERROR
I wont spoil you guys too much and you gotta experience it by yourself lol *evilsmirk*
Not a roller coaster ride but smth similar like..haha..an Elevator Riding one.
Rate : 4 out of 5 Stars *clap clap*

Continuing to other attractions that I tried, INDIANA JONES
disneysea tokyo indiana jones japan

Our Group tour leader bragged too much about how awesome this attraction is but after sacrificing my precious 2 hours for long queue plus hungry tummy I can only say...

/meh/

I mean,oh c'mon. It was not thrilling at all!The struggle while waiting to get into the ride was real and I was expecting more on this attraction /cries/ I don't know what makes this one so popular instead of other attractions. Well, the interior inside is the only thing that impress me. Cave-like much.

Cannot stand more with the sun,thank God this cool Minnie Ice Bar saved me at the right time.

The next..hmm..what next?From 12pm above it was getting more crowded.Too lazy to even hunt for FastPass and too tired to walk from one area to another,Don't wanna exposure skin under sun. So I decided to just chill inside the DisneySea Electric railway . LMAO I feel so old already. It's like being inside this so much more pleasant rather than enjoy the attractions under the sun. Well at least being inside this electric train enable me capture some of attractions from above ,so i'm free of guilty feeling about wasting my day lol

Here are some attractions that made me go curious but It's kind of impossible to get in that day :

Aquatopia - it's almost same like Indonesian boom boom car expect it's on water

DisneySea Mermaid Lagoon Area - Six Indoor Attractions inside,mostly kids friendly

disneysea tokyo journey to the center of earth

Mysterious Land - Journey to the Center of The Earth - dang it, it was underconstruction for some days while I want to ride it so much
*
*
*

Gave up on attractions hunting,Continuing my day capture the DisneySea exteriors instead.I supposed not wear a shorts despite applying tons of Sunblock. However. Mr. Sun is not friendly at all that day.

Pretty Buildings inspired by the atmosphere of Venice

Classic OSWALD the Bunny Plushies !
SO RAREEE

End Up spend my last JPY on this Classic Mickey plushie .Costed JP¥ 2.400 but never mind, I'm a mickey addict anyway and I think won't go back here again after some time.So.. welcome to the family, cutie !

At last, here are my tips for going to DisneySea ...

1. APPLY TONS OF SUNBLOCK ( recommended : SPF 100)

2. DRINK MORE WHILE YOU'RE INSIDE ( you dont wanna dehydrated inside,don't you?)

3. AVOID GOING ON PUBLIC HOLIDAY / WEEKEND.The Crowd and the queque will be super ...#sigh. It's also better to visit DisneySea like super early before than anyone else so you can get That FastPass which is like a true gem here in DisneySea.Therefore, it's best to visit around 8 - 8.30 am.

*Good Luck*
